Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 789 46. Temptation of the Devil

In the Hell Tavern, Mephisto, who was trying to make things happen, casually threw out a piece of news that shocked Loki.

"What do you call me?"

The pretzel in Loki's hand was crushed whole.

He stared at Mephistopheles, and the latter patted his head belatedly. It seemed annoyed. It said:

"Oh, I accidentally slipped my mouth."

"But you should understand me, Rocky, a guy like me is full of secrets."

"Those secrets are squirming in my stomach, they are eager to see the light of day, and if I am a little careless, I will say something I shouldn't say."

Mephisto grabbed the flagon and poured himself a glass of wine. It pulled away the chair next to Loki and sat next to him. It said:

"Did Hela not tell you? Oh, yes, I forgot. When you were picked up, Hela was sealed by her cruel father. It is impossible for her to know your life experience. I was negligent."

Mephisto showed a weird smile. He drank the devil's wine with gusto, and said to Loki:

"You, you are indeed a prince. Odin didn't lie to you about that."

"But you were not born in the Golden Palace. Believe me, I was watching the day he picked you up."

Mephisto raised his hand and made a kneading gesture, it said:

"At that time, you were so small, like a poor meat dumpling, who was left alone in the Frost Temple in Jotunheim to die."

"Your biological father abandoned you because you are a heterogeneous, a freak, and you are not as strong as your compatriots. It seems that you were destined to be a weak boy who could not fight head-on at birth."

"Stupid and savage frost giants don't like weaklings like you."

The big devil stretched out his hand and put it on Loki's palm. The latter subconsciously wanted to pull out his hand, but was held tightly by the big devil.

"It's such an exquisite magic, I guess, it was cast on you by Frigga himself."

"A runic seal that would be unbreakable in Asgard, but unfortunately, this is not Asgard..."

"Little prince, you should listen to your mother. Don't come out and wander around if you have nothing to do. It's very dangerous outside. There are villains like me lurking everywhere."

While talking cold jokes, Mephisto used his own strength to smash the sealing magic that had been cast on Loki since he was a child.

The great devil blocked the energy in the room, so that the fluctuation of the collapse of the sealing spell would not be sensed by the Queen of Heaven, Frigga.

Loki looked at his arm.

Amidst the flurry of tiny light spots on the skin, blue, faint blue skin appeared in front of his eyes, probably stimulated by Mephisto's scorching magic power, and the cold breath also emanated from Loki's skin. burst out.

And those red magic lines...

Special, weird magic lines, Loki has seen such magic lines before.

When he went out with Thor when he was a child, when he accidentally encountered some robbed frost giant thugs, he had seen such magic patterns on the skin of the frost giant wizard.

"Do not..."

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the truth with his own eyes, the corners of Loki's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Before his eyes, everything became unreal.

In the deep and malicious laughter of the great devil, Loki's entire world collapsed at this moment.

He looked back at his past life, those wonderful, not wonderful, bullied, and protected lives, and the panic in his mind was gradually expanding.

Which ones are true?

Tianhou hugged him when he was young in the library, and taught him runes word by word.

Which ones are fake?

Odin was on the sidelines of the martial arts arena, watching the young him and Thor fight with his fists with fatherly and stern eyes. Every time Loki was knocked to the ground, he could see the dissatisfaction in Odin's eyes, and that expect.

Where is the boundary between true and false?

He and Thor rode Pegasus, galloping recklessly on the golden grassland of Asgard. The two brothers rode the same horse, shouting like soldiers, driving away those annoying giant birds, and those Presumptuous beast.

Thor always protects him, just like the most qualified brother.

After he was bullied, he would always take the initiative to help him get back. Even though Loki often used pranks to tease him, Thor never got angry, and kept trying to bring Loki into his circle.

These...

Are they all fake?

"all fake!"

Mephisto's voice echoed in the room.

The big devil doesn't need to look, this experienced guy knows what Loki is thinking, he is holding the wine glass, leaning against the evil wall decorated with skulls, he said meaningfully:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. You've already doubted those disguised, disgusting memories of fatherly kindness, filial piety, and family harmony... that's enough!"

"My poor Prince Rocky, congratulations, you finally woke up from the lies that covered your life, and you finally saw the real world."

"You've recognized the 'evil' nature in your bones, and now, nothing can cover your eyes..."

"Boy, you are free!"

"To shut up!"

Loki squeezed out two words from between his teeth, he said:

"I want to be quiet."

"No, it's not quiet you need."

Big Devil said:

"What you need is to vent!"

"The rage of being deceived is wrapped around your heart, wrapped around your stomach, wrapped around your intestines, but dig it all out and you can live..."

"Only anger."

Mephisto shook its fist, and it screamed:

"Go back to Asgard and turn him upside down!"

"Knock down those who lie to you, those who play with your life, use your evil wisdom...you haven't used it, it's a pity, you've been pretending to be a good baby."

"You are a born bad seed, I can see it at a glance."

"Loki, you are just like me, you are a real schemer, but you are always playing tricks that don't stand on the table, stop making trouble, boy, listen to me, you want to use your evil wisdom in more deadly places, If you want to do something, do something big, if you want to do it..."

"I said so! Shut up!"

"boom"

Annoyed, Loki stood up and punched the big devil on the cheek.

Mephisto's whole body was blown apart by this punch, and its body turned into flames flying all over the room, darting around the room, and soon reunited into the appearance of a great devil.

This guy, what appears here is just a projection, and the main body doesn't know where to do things.

It's really a good hand to fan the flames.

"Tsk tsk, young people are full of anger."

The reunited Mephisto scratched its chin with its paws, its dark red eyeballs rolled twice, it stretched out its hands, and pressed down, it said:

"Okay, okay, forgive a lonely old devil for seeing the same kind of joy, I'm just too excited."

"Come on, let's eat something and move on to other things."

It pushed a plate of cut souls to Loki's eyes, and taught Loki, who was full of cranky thoughts, with the attitude of a person who came over. It said:

"Boy, it's always like that, when you realize you're not the answer to everything, it's always frustrating."

"But believe me, it's a good thing, frustration makes you more sane. Try this, it tastes good, when those souls howl in your mouth, that smell, tsk tsk..."

Loki remained silent.

He felt that it was a big mistake for him to come to see Mephisto today. Although he knew very well that the big devil was using it, his heart was hopelessly shaken.

The archdevil's trick is simple and straightforward, but it works.

Truly a tempting devil...

Rocky said that he was willing to bow down.

"What about Odin, according to my observation, he does have feelings for you, and he raises you like his own son, so don't be too angry."

Mephisto persuaded like a confidant grandfather:

"But Odin is a truly sensible person, and he has his own purpose in raising you."

"You are Laufey's son, and the Frost King is your father. The Frost Giant has been a serious problem in Asgard since its birth. Odin and even his father Boer have been trying to find a breakthrough. point, to completely solve the problem of the frost giants."

"You're the breaking point."

The great devil took a sip of his wine and said:

"When Odin picked you up that day, the expression on his face was quite wonderful. I hid among his soldiers and could see it clearly."

"He picked you up in his cloak as if he were treating a most precious treasure, and he brought you back to Asgard and handed you over to his wife Frigga."

"The witch used her own magic to cover up your identity, and even pretended to be pregnant and give birth, just to clear your name."

"But most of all, Loki...do you know why they did it?"

Loki's expression changed.

Of course he knew why his adoptive parents adopted him, especially after he understood his true identity, the doubts were solved by themselves.

Odin wants to train Loki to be the king, but not the king of Asgard, but the king of the frost giants in Jotunheim.

He let Loki grow up with Thor from an early age, making the two brothers' feelings extremely sincere.

In this way, after Thor inherits the throne of Asgard, relying on his relationship with Loki, there is hope that the grievances between the frost giants and the Asgardians will be bridged.

If all goes well, the history of Jotunheim's resistance will end in the hands of Loki and Thor, and the two countries will truly become an alliance of brothers.

King's way...

perfect solution...

If Loki were Odin, he would choose to do the same, but the problem is that Loki now knows the truth.

He was confused, hated, but also understood. After all, Odin has treated him well all these years. No matter what other people think of Loki, Odin and Frigga have never discriminated against him. If Thor has something, he will have it. ...

Uh, except for Mjolnir, that thing Loki really can't bear.

And as Mephisto said, Odin is really cultivating Loki as a king.

This kind of nurturing grace can't be regarded as enmity.

After all, what Loki really cares about is that Odin and Frigga, who he regards as his parents, hide everything from him, and this also leads to what Hela said before.

Is it true that Odin, the king, his adoptive father, is hiding some past that cannot be known?

And the gentle and kind mother Frigga...

Did she really do something horrible that cursed the whole world?

It was like the two people Loki was most familiar with and closest to suddenly took off their masks, revealing a terrifying and distorted face.

"You don't speak, and you don't speak, but from your eyes, I can see it, and you can guess the reason, which is very good."

Mephisto leaned back in the chair, and it said to Loki:

"Are you willing to obey Odin's arrangement and become king in Jotunheim? Command a group of rough and ignorant barbarians."

"Oh, by the way, there is another news. The frost giants have not been peaceful recently. The legend of the frost goddess Skadi has been revived there. Theocratic system has also begun to appear in the society of the frost giants. dispersed, so it failed miserably."

"If you want to be king there, my little Loki, you must be prepared to convert."

"No, Skadi doesn't exist."

Loki retorted:

"The so-called Frost Goddess is just a nonsense legend about those frost giants."

"Oh~ no no no!"

The big devil put his finger to his mouth, and made a silent movement to Loki, it said mysteriously:

"Don't express your opinions on things you don't know, Loki, that's stupid... You don't know who your words will offend, listen to the advice of the old devil, and be careful with Skadi's followers..."

"The Frost Goddess exists, and her power is not something a small Asgard can fight against."

"In short, what I mean is that you have to think carefully about your future."

"Little Rocky, you can go now, that's all the old devil has to say to you."

Mephisto waved his hand, and seemed to start chasing people away.

It winked at Loki, and it said:

"No matter what choice you make, the old devil will not interfere, but please remember, Loki, if one day, you need the help of the old devil...I will help you, and I will help you generously."

"There won't be such a day!"

Loki stood up, and he said bluntly:

"I'm not desperate enough to ask the devil for help... Thanks for the pretzels, they're delicious. Goodbye, no...farewell."

After speaking, Loki hurriedly left the tavern.

"Hehe, young man, don't be so full of words, you will need my help. From your eyes, I have already seen your future destined to be a homeless..."

The big devil snorted, it stopped paying attention to Loki who walked out of the room, it hummed the song of hell, it said softly:

"Asgard, I have planted the seeds of chaos."

"I will patiently wait for it to bloom and bear fruit, and that seed will help me do everything I want to do...Odin, dear Odin...you will be hurt by your stupid wife~"

"I hope you can survive until the day when the big snake takes revenge on you. Oh, it's time to go home, the house is in a mess."

"Merlin, Merlin, you little bastard, it hurts to bite, but... let's wait and see!"

"Ha ha ha ha."
