Asgard

"List."

"Rest assured."

"I'm not one to gossip."

Master Murphyson nodded.

If it weren't for trust, Chen Ji wouldn't have given the Rune to me for free.

After all, in his view, he had not paid any compensation.

However, they obtained the Rune markings prevalent in Asgard!

This is an absolute steal!

I owe you a favor.

"List."

"If there's anything you need me for, I'll definitely do my best."

Master Murphyson's gaze was unwavering.

This deeply moved Chen Ji.

If we kidnap him, he'll thank us!

Don't worry about the details.

"Master Murphyson."

"I'll select some high-level Book of Arcane Arts, including those on prehistoric civilizations, the Nine Realms, Rune, Ancient Gods... and related mystical knowledge."

"The more the better."

Chen Ji smiled.

Please come with me.

Master Murphyson understood.

Then he led Chen Ji to a bookshelf.

The various Book of Arcane Arts gleamed with a mysterious luster.

It encompasses almost everything, involving all kinds of mysterious knowledge, exuding a sense of the passage of time, and almost all of them come from the Prehistoric Mythological Era!

"List."

Take your time choosing.

"Don't forget to let me know before you leave."

"I need to keep track of book borrowing."

Master Murphyson offered this reminder.

He was terrified that Chen Ji had taken the Book of Arcane Arts and returned directly to the New York Sanctum.

It is neither in accordance with the rules nor with common sense.

"OK."

"Master Murphyson."

Chen Ji nodded secretly.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to the bookshelf, looking at the Book of Arcane Arts surrounded by light, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He casually opened a Book of Arcane Arts.

<Tales of Asgard>

This book provides a detailed account of the history of Asgard.

The figures include the kings of the gods before Odin, as well as the Dark Elves and the Aether, accompanied by vivid and lively illustrations.

Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

As the story unfolds...

It seems Thor, the god of hammers, will soon be banished by Odin.

And then there's Loki, who proclaims himself the greatest sorcerer of the Nine Realms... he's probably up to something soon too!

"Asgard seems to possess ancient Wiccan in addition to Rune Magic."

"Queen Frigga is the best of the best among witches."

"But..."

"The Asgard seems to be off-limits to mortals."

"Then how can I decipher the Mystery of the Rune markings?"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Previously, he had brought about a major turning point in Asgard's destiny, but this had never been reflected in reality.

Does he need to make the trip himself?

Who can take him in and out of Asgard?

The answer is undoubtedly yes!

"The Ancient One!"

"Surely the Ancient One will help with this small favor?"

Chen Ji selected several Book of Arcane Arts, summoned Master Murphyson, registered them, and then hurriedly ran towards the main hall of Kamar-Taj.

"List."

Don't forget to return it on time.

Master Murphyson waved his hand, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

However, after the [Iron Skin, Steel Bones] entry solidified, he always felt itchy all over, and his skin faintly emitted the texture of animal hide.

Even her fingernails had a metallic sheen.

This left him completely bewildered.

If Chen Ji were to discover the unusual changes in Master Murphyson, he would be secretly relieved.

The attributes dropped by spirits after they die can indeed affect the host!

Even... irreversible Gene Mutation can occur!

The term "[Iron Skin, Steel Bones]" describes how Master Murphyson's skin and bones underwent an evolution that corresponded to this description.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious.

After all, this entry supplier doesn't offer after-sales service!

Kamar-Taj.

Inside the main hall.

Ancient One sat upright on a futon, burning incense and sipping tea.

Baron Mordo stood to one side, his gaze incredibly complex and heavy.

He already knew that the Ancient One had taken Chen Ji to the X Academy, and even bestowed a Rune Stone upon Chen Ji!

He had been a disciple for several years and had taught countless Apprentice Mages, yet he had not received any attention or favor from the Ancient One. How could this not make him feel good?

"Mordo."

"You seem to be dissatisfied?"

Ancient One glanced sideways.

"No."

"Venerable One."

Mordo hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, his brows lowered and eyes demure.

He dared not reveal his ambition.

"Huh?"

"List?"

"Have you cracked the Rune Stone? Or have you encountered a tricky problem?"

The Ancient One's eyes lit up.

Upon seeing Chen Ji appear in the main hall, a smile immediately appeared on his lips, his joy evident.

No matter what kind of teacher it is, they will always be biased and favor top students!

Without a doubt, Chen Ji is Kamar-Taj's 'top student'!

Even without Stephen Strange, Chen Ji can still shoulder the mission and responsibility and lead Kamar-Taj to greatness!

"Brother Mordo"

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Chen Ji bowed and greeted Mordo before getting straight to the point.

"The Ancient One"

"I watched 'A Brief History of the Nine Realms' and 'Tales of Asgard,' and I'm filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge about the legendary Asgard."

"Excuse me..."

"Can I visit the World Tree?"

"Maybe this will help me study Rune Magic!"

Chen Ji's eyes were filled with anticipation, eager to try.

Although he could travel directly to Asgard via the Sling Ring, he would easily be mistaken for an intruder and die by the spear of the King of the Gods!

With the Ancient One backing us up, the problem becomes much simpler!

"... Would you like to visit the World Tree?"

"List."

"You really dare to say that."

Do you know what the World Tree signifies?

Ancient One was both amused and exasperated.

World Tree!

This is the Fulcrum of the Nine Realms.

The existence of the World Tree is what gave rise to the Nine Realms!

Once the World Tree is destroyed, the Nine Realms will also crumble.

Odin.

To protect the World Tree, it was locked inside a World Tree Asgard, where ordinary people could not approach it.

Even the Ancient One never saw it with her own eyes.

Even she had to show deference to this king of gods, a member of the Prehistoric Avengers.

It's easy to imagine.

Bringing Chen Ji before Odin and making such an excessive request would surely provoke Odin's wrath!

Odin doesn't even need to take action himself. Just switch the Bifrost to attack mode and aim it at Kamar-Taj will be reduced to ashes in less than fifteen minutes!

The Bifrost is not only a space teleportation platform, but also a weapon of mass destruction.

Its energy and power far surpass those of the Sling Ring.

Under Odin's leadership, the sages of Asgard throughout history developed Rune and technology to an unprecedented level.

Even within the Galactic Council, comprised of the major powers of the universe, Odin holds a place!

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Asgard will continue to shine and stand tall!

"Cough cough."

"The Ancient One"

How will you know if you don't try?

"After all, I hold the Rune Stone in my hands. Even if I don't care about the monk, I should at least have some hope."

Chen Ji flipped his hand and lifted up the Rune Stone.

This rune stone was grayish-brown, with faint carving marks on its surface. As magic surged, it flashed with mysterious light.

It symbolizes the friendship between Odin and Agamotto!

Agamotto, in turn, returned the Orb of Agamotto that he had crafted to Odin.

It not only witnessed the friendship between the two, but also represented an unspoken promise.

What you said makes sense.

"Remember this."

"Do not provoke Odin."

"The Asgardians are far less civilized than you imagine."

"This is a barbaric, violent, and fighting nation that likes to solve problems with its fists."

Ancient One stood up.

Immediately, a Mystic Portal slowly opened.

Through the Mystic Portal, one can see a magnificent paradise on earth, a magical city where technology and antiquity coexist, radiating dazzling light under the sunlight.

This is the legendary Asgard!

Asgard!

For the Asgardians, they were living in a golden age!

Status, glory, prestige, achievements, wealth... he has it all!
