Chapter 3438 Son of Midnight (Thirty-Seven)
Loki's brain was racing.
The speed of rotation was enough to recall the entire history of Asgard in one second, but he still couldn't figure out why he saw Schiller without glasses here in just a few seconds.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
People always say that smart people always like to think things through in a complicated way. This makes sense, at least that's the case with Loki right now.
Of course, he would never have thought that this was because the security measures Dalio arranged for Schiller were too strict. They took away his glasses and did not return them to him, leaving him without glasses to wear.
But of course, Loki's intuition was right, because Schiller was now indeed using some of the skills that Schiller without glasses had, which gave him some of the other's temperament, and the danger was increasing exponentially.
Loki, sensing danger, turned around and wanted to run, but he seemed to remember something and forcibly interrupted his "turning" action. Instead, he took a step back and looked for an excuse to slip away.
Don't ask why he didn't say anything and just opened the portal to escape. He can escape the monk but not the temple. If he escaped today, can Asgard escape tomorrow?
Just as Loki was brainstorming and trying to find a suitable reason to leave, Schiller, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "You've come at the right time, Your Highness. This Mr. Agger seems to be very interested in Asgard's culture and art. I heard that you are also good at this, maybe you can chat about it. This will help him relax and relieve his anxiety."
Loki glanced at Dario and thought, "Very good, you can escape the temple but not the monk. Just wait for me!"
Only then did Loki spare some energy to observe the surrounding situation. Just now he took a quick glance and felt that the decoration style was somewhat familiar. Now looking at it carefully, he felt that there was a kind of weirdness in the familiarity.
How should I put it? It's a bit like when you come home one day and find that all the objects in the house are the same, but they are all in the wrong place. Wallpaper is pasted on the floor, floor tiles are set on the ceiling, the TV is hung on the window, and the chair is hung on the chandelier. There is an inexplicable horror.
Loki felt the same way now. Growing up in Asgard, he was very familiar with every inch of space there. For him, as long as he had enough energy, building Asgard from the ground up would not be a problem at all.
When he suddenly saw a place of this style, it naturally evoked his memories of his hometown, but everything here was out of place.
The Valkyrie sculpture that was supposed to be in the hall was turned into a pattern on the wall, and the gold crystal used as floor decoration was hung on the chandelier. What's even more outrageous is that his image and Thor's image appeared on the same brick as Odin. From the moment Loki saw this thing, he began to worry that a thunderbolt would strike him from above.
This is not because it is offensive to portray them as equals to Odin, but because no one would cover their wallpaper with large photos of themselves and their family. Isn't this just sick?
It's OK to post a headshot of Odin, after all, Odin is the father of the gods and is a god worshipped by gods. It's also understandable to post a headshot of Thor, after all, he is now the king of gods and the leader of all gods, so it's not too much to worship the leader.
But what about me? You can post it, but you have to post it in the same row with Thor. Do you know that the current Queen of Gods is Sif?
Forget it, I can't bother with them. Loki thought, although most humans now know about the existence of Asgard, most of them don't know the specific situation of Asgard. As for the relationship between them, they only remain at the level of speculation, and many of the speculations are ridiculously wrong. If I bother with them, I will be so angry that I will die.
Loki held back his complaints, forced a smile, and nodded. No matter what, it was worth being happy that the civilization of his hometown was welcomed, and this was the only way he could comfort himself.
However, Dario seemed to take his attitude as encouragement and affirmation. He first looked at Schiller proudly, and then enthusiastically invited Loki to sit down, as if he really wanted to chat with him.
Loki looked at Schiller for help, but Schiller had already walked over and sat down. Loki had no choice but to walk over and sit down as well.
However, the suit he was wearing was totally unsuitable for sitting on a human sofa. There was no place to put the long hem of his cloak. So Loki raised his hand, changed into a suit, and then walked over to sit down.
Seeing Loki suddenly change his clothes, Dario was stunned. His expression was indescribably complicated, and he looked like he had eaten a fly.
Loki didn't understand why he suddenly got sick again. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend to talk to Schiller to ease the embarrassment.
But Schiller, who knew Dario, had roughly guessed what he was thinking. It was probably Dario who had not expected that the Asgardians would actually wear human clothes.
And the suit on Loki is not a random match. Whether it is Asgard or Earth, Loki is very knowledgeable about clothing and fashion.
He doesn't like American handmade tailors or Italian suits that Wall Street people prefer, and rarely wears big brands like Armani. Instead, he loves British suits, especially traditional British suits. Most of the suits he wears come from Salvi Street.
Today he was wearing a dark grey double-breasted peaked lapel suit from Kings, with a tight waistline and an hourglass-shaped upper body. The polka dot tie neutralized the dullness of the old-fashioned color. The metal cufflinks and brooch brought out the sharpness of the brand, which was born from military uniforms, and covered up Rocky's neutral melancholy temperament, making him look tougher.
Dario himself was born into a large European family. Although he suffered misfortune in his childhood, he was able to have smooth sailing after inheriting the family legacy. His vision in this regard cannot be bad. A quick glance will tell that Loki's outfit is not something he wears casually, but must have been carefully selected.
He must be wondering why Loki is so interested in human suits. Schiller thought to himself that compared with Loki's formal suit, human suits were too simple and boring, and unlike armor, they had no practical functions, so they were useless.
After all, Dario wouldn't know that in the entire Asgard, Loki was basically the only one who devoted himself to dressing up. Even the goddesses who didn't look so rough spent most of their time studying martial arts.
No one else would be willing to wear this fancy dress that looks like a peacock except Loki. It can be said that he alone raised the average fashion standard of Asgard's clothing.
Loki gave a standard social smile and discussed Asgard's art and culture with Daario.
Asgard's artistic and cultural level is among the best in the entire universe, not because they are really so advanced, but because the stronger civilizations in the universe now do not develop art.
Among the three empires, the Kree Empire is the most typical mechanical civilization. The Supreme Intelligence is the most powerful electronic life in the universe. All the Kree people are controlled by him, and directly controlled by him.
This system resulted in a civilization that had no need to develop any art or culture, because there was no need for culture to unify ethnic groups and maintain rule, nor was there a need for art to praise the system and spread ideas.
Although their creations have a certain artistry due to their high level of civilization, the Supreme Wisdom does not want to spend extra computing power to develop in this area, so the artistic level basically remains at the stage of ideological enlightenment.
The old Skrull Empire had a pretty good artistic atmosphere, but it was short-lived. The new Skrull Empire had no time to develop these things because it had to compete with the Kree Empire in all aspects, and its artistic level was on par with that of the Kree Empire.
The Shi'ar Empire is the only empire that should have been able to develop the most splendid art and culture, but for some reason, the theme of the entire race is that it does not allow the development of art and culture.
After Lilandra came to power, she remained noncommittal about the ban, and later held a grand wedding with Professor X. The ban was gradually loosened, and recently many artistic trends have been budding.
Compared with these players, Asgard's art and culture can be described as flourishing and extremely brilliant.
Asgard also highly values gorgeous and magnificent architecture, and likes gold, dark green, dark blue and other colors that highlight nobility and elegance. In terms of decoration, it is deeply influenced by the totem of the race, the world tree, and likes to use plant patterns and prefers complex square continuity. However, due to the martial elements in its national characteristics, it neutralizes the decadent feeling brought by the gorgeous decorative style, and achieves the goal of being gorgeous but not chaotic, magnificent and magnificent.
At the same time, it is also influenced by Viking culture and has a passionate and unrestrained artistic style of maritime civilization, which is mainly reflected in songs and dances. The songs are mostly military music and war drums, and the dances are based on sailor dances, integrating the elements of ritual music and sacrificial dances of multiple ethnic groups in the nine kingdoms. The movements are open and closed, and the momentum is magnificent.
Asgard's years of war in the universe not only brought Asgard abundant resources and a terrifying reputation, but also played a positive role in spreading art and culture.
Later, Asgard put away its weapons and let its horses rest in the mountains, but under the leadership of Loki, it further developed art and culture, shifting from its original military output to cultural output, and its influence in the cosmic art world became even greater.
Recently, "The Æsir Marches" adapted from the traditional tune of the Æsir has become very popular in the universe, becoming the war song for many races to pledge their loyalty and send troops. And "The Elegy of the World Tree" sung by a Valkyrie is played on a loop on major cosmic lyric radio stations, and is about to become the background music for densely populated star regions such as Centaurus.
Most intelligent races are forgetful. The spread of these literary and artistic works is gradually affecting the impressions of Asgard among various races in the universe, which can be regarded as a kind of whitewashing.
This also made more Asgardians affirm Loki's work results, and at the same time they enthusiastically devoted themselves to literary and artistic creation, producing more excellent works, forming a virtuous circle.
Loki was obviously satisfied with the results of his work, but he really had no one to show off to. After all, Odin and Frigga had moved away, Thor didn't understand much, and his human friends were accustomed to it because of their rich literary and artistic life, which made Loki inevitably feel regretful for walking in the night in fine clothes.
Loki didn't feel disgusted when talking about these things with Dario now, especially since Dario kept praising him. Loki thought he had good vision.
But as we all know, in general, when we talk about literature and art, we don’t just talk about literature and art. Art and culture are just an introduction. When the topic turns to politics, all the beautiful illusions laid out before collapse.
