Chapter 1360 The Mystery of the Feast (17)
"You mean, Queen Shia may have visited Charles? What did the two of them talk about?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and asked.
"I want to know too." The Eye of Agamotto in Strange's hand gradually lit up, and he said with a smile: "Even if the two of them had an old relationship, they probably wouldn't be on fire on the first night of their reunion, so There is probably nothing inappropriate for children, we can see for ourselves."
After finishing speaking, the light of the time gem enveloped several people, and the time in Asgard changed from night to day, and then from day to night again. When Schiller landed, he looked out the window again and saw the Shia Empire Engines glow brightly as the ship descends.
A group of people came out of the spaceship and laid a carpet on the ground. The guard of honor of Asgard stopped on the opposite side of the carpet. Thor stepped forward and beat his chest lightly with his fist first, and walked over the spaceship. Lilandra, who came down, bent her knees slightly while holding the feathers on her sideburns with her right hand.
The two sides greeted each other with the etiquette of their own countries, and then entered Asgard side by side. A few phantoms stood on the balcony. Strange blinked and said: "It seems that after the Queen came to Asgard, the official The first thing after the meeting was to go to Charles."
"Well, I know that the two of them may be true love, but even if Professor Charles is single, isn't the Queen already married?" Wanda wrinkled her face, looking a little tangled.
Miss Witch's age group means that she still believes in the pursuit of true love, but at the same time, her moral values also prevent her from accepting derailment in marriage, so she feels a little frightened, for fear that she may hear something in the future. Words that broke the filter of Professor Charles.
But the expressions of Strange and Schiller are very calm, let’s not talk about things, I’m afraid it’s not so simple, even if the Queen really intends to rekindle their old relationship with Charles, they will not ask aliens based on human morality, saying Maybe people's views on marriage and relationship are completely different?
Soon, several phantoms slipped to the balcony where they stayed before, which was a good place to listen to the corner.
Schiller understands that Charles will not activate his mind-reading ability at will in Asgard. This is not because Professor X has a high level of morality, but mainly because there are many races in the universe. Not every race is as indifferent to mind-reading as humans are. If you don't notice, it will be a big trouble if you are found out. Professor X will not take such a risk.
Therefore, the few people were extremely confident, and they all stretched their necks and looked into the window of the opposite room. Sure enough, not long after, a cluster of bright feathers appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"What are they talking about?" Rocket Raccoon, who was held in Schiller's arms, asked very puzzled. He only saw the mouths of two people in the opposite window moving, but couldn't hear any sound.
"Queen Shia cast a sound-blocking magic, let me see if I can crack it... It's not good, I can't make a big move here, or I will be discovered, or we will suspend time and go into the guest room to hide ?”
"Get out of the way, let me do it." Scarlet Witch shook her head, Strange took a step back resolutely, Wanda stepped forward, a red light flashed in her hand, and the intermittent voice soon reached the place where several people were.
"...I'm afraid I really need your help, Charles, you should understand me. If the situation wasn't really critical, I wouldn't come here in such a hurry and find you!"
"Of course, I understand, Leland, don't bring up the past. We were young back then, and there were too many unnecessary quarrels. Now it seems that it's just a big fuss."
Charles sighed, showing a sad expression, and said: "Actually, I am also very worried about the situation of the Shia Empire. When I was still in the Feather Palace, I saw that the group of nobles had hidden swords in their smiles. Once the Shia Empire was in chaos It is not beneficial to the situation of the universe at all, and too many innocent creatures will die, which we do not want to see."
"That's why, Charles, you should help me." Lilandra walked a little closer to Charles, and Charles, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at her, and Lilandra's eyes glistened with tears.
"For so many years, I have no relatives in the Feather Palace. My brother's remnant forces have been trying to shake my throne. The nobles are not enterprising. They even think that my brother's decision back then was right. When the power of the M'Kraan crystal is fully developed, they can sit firmly at the head of the three empires forever."
Lilandra's tone became more and more sad. She continued: "The economic policies I proposed to improve the lives of the people and the plans to resist the invasion of the other two empires were all blocked by them and could not be implemented at all."
"Now, they have revived the idea of the M'Kraan crystal, and want to use the big bomb that may destroy the universe again to create a second big portal."
"The gods are blinded by the power they might get, and my stupid husband is also bewitched by power. Charles, I really can't think of anyone else who can help me except you."
Charles stretched out his hand and lightly touched the feathers on the back of Lilandra's head. He looked into Lilandra's eyes and said, "I think you should understand that mutants can help you once or twice, but they can't help you." you forever."
"I hope you can come back, Charles." Lilandra's tone began to tremble, and she said, "The days we spent together in Feather Palace were the happiest times of my life."
"You have to calm down, Lilandra, now is not the time to talk about feelings, the Shia Empire is still pointing at you." Charles withdrew his hand, looked into Lilandra's eyes, and comforted him.
A look of disappointment flashed in Lilandra's eyes, she took a slight step back, then turned around and walked to the chair opposite Charles and sat down.
She picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said: "Perhaps you also know that the M'Kraan crystal is not a Shia sacred object at all. It originally belonged to a race called M'Kraan, and it has nothing to do with the Shia twin gods and the Feather Clan. relation."
"However, several generations of brainwashing have made the nobles of the Mengyu tribe really think that this is a sacred object bestowed by the gods on Xi'a, so we should obtain great power from it."
"This group of people is more stupid than my brother. The Mad King Durken knows that the so-called sacred objects are just tools, and the craziest thing he does is to use living things to conduct various experiments, but this group of nobles seem to be real. Worship the M'Kraan crystal as a god, and even want to offer sacrifices to the M'Kraan crystal in exchange for the mercy of the great power."
"Do the gods of Xi and A don't care about this?" Charles asked with a frown.
"This is the key point. The Shia gods have nothing to do with the M'Kraan crystal." Lilandra stretched out a hand to cover his eyes, and said, "Our great gods seem to want the M'Kraan crystal even more. Without their connivance, the nobles would not have come this far.”
"The magic that can create a spiritual link with other things is my talent. When I was very young, I had a spiritual link with the Shia twin gods and the M'Kraan crystal."
Lilandra showed a look of reminiscence, and said in a serious tone: "So, when other people worship God without knowing the truth, I know that they are just a little more powerful creatures in the universe."
"When I had a spiritual connection with the M'Kraan crystal, I discovered that it was not a sacred object, but the first star at the beginning of the universe. The center of the M'Kraan crystal hides the door to other universes .”
"But that's actually a trap." Lilandra shook her head in pain and said, "Anyone who wants to use the power inside the M'Kraan crystal is doomed to be destroyed. The reason for touching it is not that I don’t want that kind of power, but I don’t dare.”
"Leland, I know you are afraid of the M'Kraan crystal, but if you want to solve the internal problems of the Shi'ar Empire, I'm afraid you really have to start with this crystal."
Lilandra looked up at Charles, and Charles shook his head and said, "I don't mean to ask you to study the crystal and use its power to deal with the nobles, but this so-called Shia holy object stays in the Shia Empire for a day, then The greed of those in the know knows no bounds."
"I think you should destroy the M'Kraan crystal." Charles said firmly.
Lilandra opened her mouth wide, and she stared blankly at Charles, as if she didn't believe he would say this, but suddenly, she looked a little embarrassed again, because she found herself hesitating.
"But...but..."
"You are reluctant, aren't you?" Charles looked at Lilandra with his usual gentle expression, but his tone became more aggressive.
"Actually, in your heart, you also regard the M'Kraan crystal as the property of the Shia Empire, as part of the power of the Shia Empire, and you also think that it may become a powerful weapon of the Shia Empire, and in the confrontation A last resort for other empires."
"Lilandra, this is the biggest reason why you are still unaccompanied after so many years. You oppose certain things, but you don't completely oppose them. You agree with certain things, but you don't dare to fully agree with them. You avoid extreme measures. Procrastinate on imminent matters as long as you can, until you can't go on procrastinating, and then count on other people."
"Perhaps, the life of the second princess who was caught in the middle and was completely unfavored made you develop the habit of being cautious in your words and deeds, and neither side would offend you. It's fine as a princess, but not as an emperor."
Wanda outside the window was completely stunned. He had never seen such an aggressive Professor X, but Schiller shook his head without showing any surprise.
In fact, any good psychiatrist knows how to poke other people's sore spots and how to use words to break the opponent's defense. Professor X doesn't often use this kind of technique, but he is restrained and doesn't draw his sword easily, which doesn't mean he doesn't meeting.
"Charles!" Lilandra gritted her teeth and called Charles' name in an angry and panicked tone. She stood up from the table, looked at Charles with red eyes and said, "I thought you would understand me of!"
Lilandra took a deep breath, and said as if losing her mind: "Yes, yes, I am an unfavored second princess, but so what? Didn't I ascend the throne in the end?! "
Lilandra blinked her eyes quickly, her lips trembled constantly, she shook her head in a very small range, and even the feathers on the back of her head shook slightly.
"What happened to the eldest princess who is famous all over the universe?" Lilandra panted, and sneered, and said, "Did she defeat Odin?! Did she seize the throne? Didn't she end up being defeated by Odin?" Imprisoned in the desolate country of death, she can only watch her younger brother ascend the throne, but she doesn't even have the qualifications to attend the wedding?!"
Lilandra closed her eyes tremblingly, and those images from the past kept replaying in her mind.
Every child born in the royal family has the heart to be on the throne. Once upon a time, Lilandra was not the humble and cowardly second princess. She also had ambitions, and she even took action.
But Hela's tragedy dealt her a head-on blow. As the sole heir of Asgard, the legendary princess who was famous for a while only got a life-long imprisonment for a failed uprising.
What about her? What about her, an ordinary princess who is neither the eldest nor as favored as the youngest?
Indeed, for so many years, Lilandra had lived carefully. If it wasn't for saving her life, she would not have spoken out to her brother. However, this only rebellion allowed her to win the throne.
Maybe the throne came too easily, without suffering, she would not grow up naturally, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Lilandra also knows that the years of cautious words and deeds have changed her personality. She is not A tyrant who can be arbitrary is not even as decisive as an ordinary king should be.
Lilandra was so frankly exposed by her old lover, anger filled Lilandra's heart, she thought, if Hella wasn't too dazzling, how could she look so cowardly?
She gritted her teeth and looked at Charles and said, "It would be great if the eldest princess could appear at the wedding banquet! I want to see, now that she has no throne and no army, how can she be so arrogant?!"
"So what if she has traversed the universe for many years? Wasn't she imprisoned by Odin in the end?" Lilandra said with a sneer, "I dare say that this is the most correct decision made by the father of the gods."
"It's over," said Schiller from the window.
Everyone looked back at him, but Schiller's eyes fell on the raven that had just taken off on the pine branch outside Charles' room window.
