Chapter 753 Nidavellir
"Instead of trying to deny me here, why don't you verify it yourself?"
Laufey saw Loki's hesitation, so he decided to deliver the final blow.
These words gave Loki a hint. She pondered for a moment, and then, as if making up her mind, turned to leave. Laufey called out to her at this moment.
"Want to go find Odin and question him face-to-face? Don't be silly, child. He can deceive you for thousands of years, how could there be any truth in his words?"
"I don't believe my father, so why would I believe you?" Loki sneered. "Who knows if you're using some kind of illusion? As long as I go to the Queen to undo the spell for myself, your lies will be exposed."
If you don't believe me, then why bother to verify it?
Of course, Laufey didn't say these words. Loki's thoughts were in chaos now, and pushing her too hard might backfire.
Malekith had said that he needed to give Loki some time to calm down and leave her space to make her own decisions. Of course, this space and time must be given by them.
"Casket of Ancient Winters," Laufey slowly uttered a name.
"That is the divine weapon of our Frost Giants. Only Frost Giants can unleash the most powerful power of this weapon. By the same logic, the Casket of Ancient Winters can also stimulate the potential of Frost Giants."
Loki turned around, looking at Laufey from afar, waiting for his next words.
"The Casket of Ancient Winters is now in Odin's vault. You just need to touch it and you will understand everything."
After Laufey finished speaking these words, he sat back down on the ground and closed his eyes, putting on an appearance of refusing to communicate further.
Seeing this, Loki knew that she couldn't get anything more out of him here. Helpless, she could only turn into a green smoke and leave the dungeon.
After Loki left, Laufey reopened his eyes. The seed of doubt had been planted, waiting for the day it would sprout.
…
"Whoosh~" A green smoke quietly dissipated, and Loki, with a complex expression, appeared in front of the gate of Odin's Vault.
Looking at the gate that resembled a work of art, Loki was in trouble. The space behind this door was the only aspect of Asgard she had never been to. It wasn't that she didn't want to, the reason was simple: she couldn't.
Odin's Vault was impregnable. She had wanted to go in and see what treasures were hidden inside more than once, but these actions had all failed without exception.
Although she really didn't want to admit it, Laufey's words had indeed made her restless. If she didn't personally verify the truth of this matter, Loki felt she would definitely go crazy.
But saying that was one thing, if she couldn't get in, then everything was empty talk. Now Loki didn't dare to confront Odin yet. She needed to verify it herself first before she had the courage.
Her eyes scanned the entire gate inch by inch. Loki racked her brains, thinking about all possible methods, until she saw a flower pattern on the door.
It was mentioned earlier that this gate was like a work of art, because it depicted many plants, animals, and humans. Leaving the first two aside, just talking about the humans at the end, they provided inspiration to Loki.
Some of these humans Loki could recognize, and some she couldn't. Among them, the most famous was naturally Odin, the master of the treasury. Similarly, he was also the only known human who could open the treasury.
But there was also one human who could theoretically open the treasury, and that was the dwarves who built this treasury, or rather, the Dwarf King.
Thinking of this, Loki's eyes lit up. Yes! As the designer of the treasury, the Dwarf King naturally knew the treasury very well. If there was any other method to open the treasury, he would definitely know.
The more Loki thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She immediately turned into a smoke and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, Loki reappeared, but this time she did not return to Odin's Vault, but appeared on the Rainbow Bridge.
"Is something the matter, Little Princess?" Heimdall greeted Loki with a kind face. "Want to go find Thor again?"
"Almost, Heimdall," Loki said with a normal expression. "I want to go to Nidavellir. Please activate the Rainbow Bridge for me."
"Nidavellir? The territory of the dwarves?" Heimdall frowned slightly. "What are you going to that aspect for? It's all ashes and iron filings there, not suitable for you. Besides, Thor isn't there either."
"I'm going to find the dwarves there to help me forge some things. I'm preparing a big surprise for Thor."
Speaking of the word surprise, a standard prank smile appeared on Loki's face. This was almost becoming her symbol. Whenever she showed this smile, Thor was about to be in trouble.
Heimdall thought it would be the same this time, and didn't say anything more. He turned around and honestly prepared to open the Rainbow Bridge to Nidavellir, but he still asked one more question.
"Then there's no need to go so far, right? Aren't there a bunch of dwarves in Asgard? Their technology isn't bad either."
Loki answered without even thinking, "I'm afraid they'll leak the secret."
Heimdall thought about it and agreed. Those big-bearded guys didn't have any restraint on their mouths. Once they drank wine, they could really say whatever came to mind. Only the Dwarf King's mouth was slightly tighter, but of course, that was just choosing the taller one among the dwarves.
Therefore, he didn't say anything more. He opened the Rainbow Bridge and turned around, just wanting to say a few words to Loki, but found that the figure of the other person was long gone behind him. Obviously, Loki had already left.
"Is there a need to be so anxious?" Heimdall muttered to himself.
Ignoring Heimdall, Loki had already arrived at Nidavellir through the Rainbow Bridge. There wasn't much difference between here and Asgard, except that there were no magnificent buildings like in Asgard. What existed were buildings of various styles with full practical value.
Dwarves are not only good at forging weapons, they can do any craftsman's work. This naturally includes building houses. Houses are also considered their works, so the houses here are so different.
This is because the styles of the dwarves are different. Even if they are taught by the same master, there will be many differences in the details.
However, none of the humans here were the ones Loki was looking for. Her goal was only one, and that was Dwarf King Eitri, who lived in the Dwarf Iron Fortress.
Loki didn't want too many humans to know of her arrival, so she turned into a smoke and floated towards the Iron Fortress.
Loki's thoughts were in chaos. She didn't know what was wrong with herself, she only knew that when she came back to her senses, she was already in front of the door of the Iron Fortress.
Loki didn't knock on the door, but slipped in through the door seam. As soon as she entered, she saw a "giant" with a very disproportionate head-to-body ratio sitting on the throne looking at her.
"I thought who had come, it turns out to be the Little Princess of Asgard." Dwarf King Eitri held a wine glass the size of a wine barrel in his hand, and while speaking, poured the wine into his mouth.
Seeing this, Loki no longer hid herself, and openly revealed her true form, landing in Dwarf King Eitri's presence.
"Long time no see, Uncle Eitri. I have a business to ask of you here."
