Chapter 1020: Meeting Again
This valiant woman nodded without hesitation. “Yes, we are Thor’s best friends.”
Pretending to be deep in thought, Luke nodded after two seconds. “Can I ask you what he looks like?”
The woman replied without hesitation, “He has blond hair, is more than half a head taller than me, and he’s very strong. He probably came here a few days ago.”
You mean he was thrown down here a few days ago! Luke mocked inwardly.
After a moment, he nodded. “I did meet someone who looks like your description. And he also said his name was Thor —”
The bearded man grabbed Luke’s shoulder and asked, “Where is he?”
Luke immediately grimaced. “Ouch. That hurts.”
The woman reacted the quickest and slapped the bearded man’s hand away. “Are you crazy? Do you want to crush his shoulder?!”
She then turned to Luke. “I’m sorry. He didn’t mean it. Let me see how your shoulder is.”
Luke, on the other hand, rubbed his shoulder and shook his head. “I’m fine. He didn’t use much strength. You stopped him in time.” He even moved his shoulder a few times to show that it was fine.
The woman was a little surprised, but didn’t think much of it.
After all, she wasn’t the one who’d made the move. She’d only made a general judgment, and the bearded man might not have used as much force on a Midgardian.
In fact, the bearded man hadn’t used much strength — for an Asgardian, it was only a little.
Luke’s shoulder blade hadn’t shattered, but there was a slight fracture.
Elementary Self-Healing and Elementary Limb Regeneration immediately started to take effect. There was a familiar numbing sensation in his shoulder.
He easily endured the feeling, which would have been very uncomfortable for an ordinary person, a smile still on his face. “How about this: I’ll drive you there. Thor is temporarily staying at a ranch outside town, but I’m not sure he’s the one you’re looking for.”
The four of them were stumped for a moment, before they were delighted and quickly agreed.
A moment later, three burly men crowded into the back of the F150, while the woman sat in the pa.s.senger seat, and Luke drove away from Shackelford.
Everyone introduced themselves on the journey.
It was a pity that Elementary Pheromone Control was only effective on women, so Luke mainly chatted with the valiant Warrior Sif. The other three burly men, who called themselves the Warriors Three, looked left and right, as if they couldn’t understand why Sif was acting so warmly toward a strange little boy.
It had to be pointed out that they had been comrades for hundreds of years, and they usually didn’t receive this sort of treatment when they talked together.
It wasn’t envy; if they were envious, it would be of Thor. They were just curious.
Perhaps this little fellow was especially likable? The three burly men could only think this way when they heard the two of them chatting happily.
Luke obtained a lot of “cla.s.sified” information from Sif.
These people didn’t seem to have much of an understanding of Earth. It was like how some people didn’t know what the situation was like in smaller countries, or perhaps they didn’t care. Sif casually revealed a lot of things about the Nine Realms.
For example, some people in Vanaheim were causing trouble, and things were peaceful with Jotunheim for now. For Sif and the others, this was common news, but for Luke, who had been born and raised on Earth, this was huge information.
It was like real-time reporting of recent events. It wasn’t quite the same as what he got from Thor, and it was even more different from what Luke remembered in his previous life.
Luke didn’t remember much about the films in his previous life, and even less about the Nine Realm.
Even the fact that Asgard called Earth Midgard or whatever was something he only just learned from Sif.
Luke could add to the thickness of his files with this information, and give Phil a copy.
A certain nosy department on Earth probably needed this information.
And if Hydra knew? So what.
They couldn’t infiltrate Asgard, nor make contact with Asgard.
Who was the connection between Earth and Asgard? Except for the people with Thor, there was no one else. Instead, Thor’s brother Loki almost destroyed Earth.
How could humans be friends with ants?
Unless a person had a good impression of an ant, like Thor had of Dr. Jane.
But to proactively create this connection, s.h.i.+ELD couldn’t do it, and neither could Hydra.
Soon, the F150 stopped at the makes.h.i.+ft house.
The impatient bearded man slammed the back door of the car open with his shoulder and rushed out. He rushed in, yelling, “Thor, Thor!”
Sif, who had been chatting with Luke, was slightly better. She waited for a second, giving Luke a chance to unlock the door, before she quickly got out as well.
The other two people in the backseat had already gotten out through the broken car door, and were looking around for Thor.
Luke walked to the back and looked at the deformed door that was now barely hanging on to the car. He grimaced. Robert was going to nag him now.
At the same time, he was once again sure that these four Asgardians were really strong.
In a head-on clash, even if he had 40 Strength, he wouldn’t be able to compare with them.
Of course, those who could hang around with Thor would be at least the top elites of Asgard.
Luke didn’t have to compete with them in terms of physical strength. Everyone had their own strengths, and his had never been physical strength.
On the other side, a door on the second floor of the makes.h.i.+ft house burst open. Thor rushed out and looked at the four people downstairs with a rare smile on his face.
The old friends laughed and hugged each other. Luke told Dr. Jane and the other two, who had come out of the rooms, that they were Thor’s friends. He didn’t say anything more.
There would be no point if they wouldn’t believe him.
Thor was nothing more than a very strong human if he didn’t pick up his hammer and transform on the spot.
It went without saying that a G.o.d of Thunder who couldn’t release lightning was a terrible close-combat mage.
Before long, the group was in Luke’s car once more.
They needed a place to talk. The makes.h.i.+ft house obviously wasn’t suitable.
Luke kindly said that they could go to a nearby ranch where they could eat, drink, and talk.
No one had any objections.
This time, Dr. Jane and Xavier drove their own jeep, and the four big Asgardian men were politely invited to ride in the back of the pickup.
He didn’t want to have to pay for both back doors on Robert’s F150.
Sif took the initiative to ride in the back as well, choosing to make merry with her friends.
Darcy was able to sit in the front pa.s.senger seat of the pickup. At that moment, she was wearing her black-framed gla.s.ses. From time to time, she would look at the five laughing people in the rearview mirror over the top of her gla.s.ses.
“Are they… too engrossed in cosplay?” she gulped and asked softly.
Words like “shattered the Frost Giant’s head,” “dug out the dragon’s heart,” and “tore the monster into pieces” kept floating into her ears from the back of the pickup.
