Chapter 3427: Midnight Sons (Part 37)

Loki's brain was spinning at high speed.

The speed of rotation could probably recall the entire history of Asgard in one second, yet he still couldn't think of why he would see a Shiler without glasses here in these few seconds.

Not right, very not right.

People always say that smart people like to think about problems in a complicated way. This makes some sense; at least now Loki is like this.

Of course, he wouldn't think that this was because the security measures Dario arranged for Shiler were too strict, taking away his glasses and not returning them, causing him to have no glasses to wear.

But also of course, Loki's intuition was right, because Shiler was indeed using some skills possessed by the Shiler without glasses, which made him have some of the other's temperament, and the danger was increasing exponentially.

Feeling the danger, Loki turned to run, but he seemed to have remembered something, forcibly interrupted his "turning" action, but took a step back in place, looking for an excuse to slip away.

Don't ask why he didn't open a portal to escape without a word; he could run away from the monk but not the temple. If he ran today, could Asgard run away tomorrow?

Just as Loki was brainstorming, wanting to find a suitable reason to leave, Shiler, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "You came just in time, Your Highness. This Mr. Agger seems to be very interested in Asgard's culture and art. I heard that you are also proficient in this way, perhaps you can chat. This will help him relax his spirit and alleviate his anxiety."

Loki looked at Dario, thinking: "Very good, you kid is also running away from the monk but not the temple. You wait for me!"

Only then did Loki spare a little energy to observe the situation around him. Just now he had glanced at it roughly and only felt that the decoration style was somewhat familiar. Now looking carefully, the familiarity revealed a kind of weirdness.

How to say it, it's somewhat similar to one day you return home and find that all the objects in the house haven't changed, but they are all in the wrong places. The wallpaper is pasted on the floor, the floor tiles are inlaid on the ceiling, the TV is hung on the window, the chair is hanging on the chandelier, there is a kind of inexplicable horror.

Loki is now having this feeling. Growing up in the Immortal Palace, he is very familiar with every inch of space there. For him, as long as there is enough energy, building Asgard from the ground is not a problem at all.

Suddenly seeing this style of place, it naturally evoked his memories of his hometown, but all the things here are messed up.

The Valkyrie sculpture that should have stood in the hall actually became a pattern pasted on the wall, and the gold crystal used for floor decoration was hung on the chandelier. Even more outrageous is that the images of him and Thor actually appeared on the same brick as Odin. From the moment Loki saw this thing, he started worrying that a bolt of lightning would strike his head.

This is not because depicting him and Thor as equal to Odin is an offense, but because no one would paste their own and their family's big head photos all over their home's wallpaper. Isn't this purely sick?

Pasting Odin's big head photo is fine, Odin is the All-Father after all, and can be considered a god worshipped by gods. Pasting Thor can also be understood, after all, he is the God King now, the leader of all god races, and engaging in leader worship is not too much.

But what's going on with himself? You paste it, but you have to paste it in the same row as Thor. Do you know that the current Queen of Gods is Sif?

Forget it, can't count on them. Loki thought, although most humans now understand the existence of Asgard, most of them don't know the specific situation of Asgard. As for the relationship between them, it only stays at the level of speculation, and many speculations are wrong. If he counted on all of them, he would be angry to death.

Loki endured not complaining, barely showed a smile, and nodded. Regardless, it is worth being happy that the civilization of his hometown is welcomed; he can only comfort himself like this.

However, Dario seemed to have taken his attitude as encouragement and affirmation. He first glanced at Shiler triumphantly, and then enthusiastically invited Loki to sit down, seemingly really intending to chat with him.

Loki looked at Shiler with a look for help, but Shiler had already walked over and sat down. Loki also had to walk over and sit down.

However, the long dress he was wearing was completely unsuitable for human sofas, just the long back hem of the cloak had nowhere to put. So Loki raised his hand, changed into a suit, and then walked over to sit down.

Seeing Loki suddenly change his outfit, Dario was stunned there, his expression indescribably complex, looking like he had eaten a fly.

Loki didn't understand why he was sick again, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend to talk to Shiler to relieve the embarrassment.

But Shiler, who knew Dario, had roughly guessed what he was thinking. It is estimated that Dario didn't expect that Asgardians would wear human clothes.

And the suit Loki was wearing was not casually matched. Whether it was Asgard or Earth, Loki had studied fashion.

He didn't like American handmade tailoring or Italian suits favored by Wall Street people, and rarely wore big brands like Armani, but was fond of British suits, especially traditional British suits. The suit he wore basically came from Savile Row.

Today he was wearing a dark gray double-breasted peaked lapel suit from Gieves & Hawkes, the waistline was cut tightly, the whole upper body presented an hourglass shape, and the polka-dot tie neutralized the boredom brought by the rigid color. The metal cufflinks and brooch brought the sharpness born from military uniforms of this brand, covering the neutral melancholy temperament on Loki, making him look more sturdy.

Dario himself was from a European family, although he suffered misfortune in his childhood, he was considered smooth sailing after inheriting the family estate. His vision in this regard could not be bad, and a glance knew that Loki's outfit was not casually worn, it must have been carefully matched and selected.

He must be very strange now, why Loki would have such research on human suits. Shiler thought in his heart, after all, compared to Loki's flowery dress, human suits were too simple and boring, and unlike armor, they didn't have any practical functions, which could be called useless.

After all, Dario wouldn't know that the entire Asgard basically only Loki studied dressing up, even the goddesses who didn't look so rough, most of the time were studying martial arts.

This flowery dress, which looked like a peacock, wouldn't be worn by anyone other than Loki. It could be said that he alone raised the average fashion level of Asgard's clothing.

Loki showed a standard social smile and discussed Asgard's art and culture with Dario.

Asgard's art and culture level belongs to the top in the entire universe, not because they are really leading, but because most of the relatively strong civilizations in the universe now don't develop art.

Among the three empires, the Kree Empire is the most typical mechanical civilization. The Supreme Intelligence is the strongest electronic life in the universe, and all Kree people are controlled by him, and it is direct control.

This system leads to the fact that this civilization has no need to develop art and culture, because it neither needs culture to unify the ethnic group and maintain rule, nor does it need art to praise the system and spread ideas.

Although because the civilization level is higher, their creations themselves have a certain artistry, but the Supreme Intelligence doesn't want to spend extra computing power to develop this aspect, so the art level basically stays at the stage of ideological enlightenment.

The old Skrull Empire's art atmosphere was quite good, but it was a flash in the pan. The new Skrull Empire, because it had to compete with the Kree Empire in all aspects, didn't have time to develop these things, and the art level kept pace with the Kree Empire.

The only empire that should have been able to develop the most brilliant art and culture, the Shi'ar Empire, didn't know what was wrong, and the theme of the entire race was not to allow the development of art and culture.

After Lilandra came to power, she didn't comment on this ban, and later held a huge wedding with Professor X, and the ban gradually loosened, and many art trends are budding recently.

Compared with these players, Asgard's art and culture can be called blooming and extremely brilliant.

Asgard also advocates gorgeous and magnificent architecture, likes gold, dark green, dark blue, etc., which highlight noble and elegant colors. In terms of decoration, it is deeply influenced by the race totem Yggdrasil, likes to use plant patterns, prefers complex four-side continuity, and because of the martial elements in its national characteristics, it neutralizes the decadent feeling brought by the gorgeous decoration style, achieving magnificence without chaos.

At the same time, influenced by Viking culture, it has a warm and unrestrained art style of maritime civilization, mainly reflected in songs and dances. Songs are mostly military music and war drums, and dances are based on sailor dances, integrating elements of ritual music and sacrificial dances of multiple races in the Nine Realms, with large opening and closing movements and magnificent momentum.

Asgard has been fighting in the universe for years, and in addition to bringing rich resources and terrifying reputation to Asgard, it has indeed played a positive role in spreading art and culture.

Later, Asgard put away its weapons and released its horses, but under Loki's leadership, it further developed art and culture, turning from the original force output to cultural output, and its influence in the cosmic art world became even greater.

Recently, "Asgard's Expedition", adapted from the traditional tunes of the Aesir, has been very popular in the universe, becoming a war song for many races to swear and send troops. And "Elegy of Yggdrasil", sung by a Valkyrie, is played in major cosmic lyrical radio stations, and it is almost becoming the background music for densely populated star sectors such as Centaurus.

Most intelligent races are forgetful, and the spread of these literary works is gradually affecting the impression of Asgard by various races in the universe, which can be called a whitewashing.

This also made more Asgardians affirm Loki's work results, and also enthusiastically invested in literary creation, producing more excellent works, forming a virtuous cycle.

Loki was obviously very satisfied with his work results, but he really had no one to show off to. After all, Odin and Frigga had moved away, Thor didn't understand these, and human friends were used to it because their usual literary life was too rich, which made Loki inevitably have a regret of wearing brocade clothes at night.

Now chatting about these with Dario, Loki was not very disgusted, and even felt that he had a good eye.

But as everyone knows, under normal circumstances, when you start talking about literature and art, you won't just talk about literature and art. Art and culture are just an introduction, and when the topic turns to politics, all the beautiful illusions laid out in front collapse.
