121: Collecting a Set of Protection

The power that Neil obtained is the "running power" of the goat pulling the chariot under Thor, the god of thunder. That is, its body turned into lightning. Although it does not have the power of thunder, it has the speed of thunder.

The two slender light blue feathers growing from her body were proof of this power.

Neil, who was running happily on the table while consuming magic power, was also very shocked.

She looked down at her feathers that were swaying slightly in the wind, flapped her wings twice, and chirped softly.

Only a faint trace of lightning was visible on the spot the next moment, and Neil appeared on Kevin's shoulder.

Seeing this, Kevin immediately stood up, carrying Neil on his shoulder, and bowed to Loki and Thor, wanting to express his gratitude, but saw Thor and Loki move away at the same time.

"That's not necessary." Loki shook his head slightly at Kevin and said, "This is a reward she deserves, and..."

As he spoke, Loki glanced at Thor beside him and smiled faintly.

Yes, this is a reward for Neil. The World Tree is very fair. There will be corresponding rewards for your efforts. Since Neil's arrival in Asgard, she has been observing Kevin closely.

Although following Kevin and witnessing everything he does is Neil's duty in Asgard, Loki and the others do have to pay a certain price for it...you can also call it a reward.

However, based solely on the compensation, Neil is unlikely to be able to acquire such abilities. The main reason lies with Kevin, or rather, with Slude.

Whether Kevin did it intentionally or not, he did change Slud.

Thor's decision to take Kevin with him to combat the hidden dangers in the Giant Kingdom, as well as his decision to give Yul goat bone marrow and grant her the ability to turn into lightning and run, were all influenced by Slud.

Although Loki and Thor did not say it clearly, Kevin was not stupid after all. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason.

But even so, he still asked Neil to bow her head and thank them.

Regardless of the reason, this is indeed a great gift. This ability will further ensure Neil's safety in the future.

Neil's own combat power is not high. After all, she was originally just a little bird that brought the magic fruit to Kevin. The reason why she has been safe and sound by Kevin's side for so long is all thanks to the protection on her body.

Although those blessings did not give Yuniel strength, after all, she had the aura left by a bunch of big guys like Odin, Loki, Balder, Luger, etc., and few people dared to provoke her.

Plus, she ran very fast when the accident happened and was rarely on the battlefield.

But after all, she is weak and has always been by Kevin's side. Not to mention others, even Kevin sometimes worries that Neil might get into trouble because of some unexpected things.

Take the case of Fenrir and Shaki, for example. Neil was fortunate to remain unaffected. Plus, she was smart enough to hide in Slude or Skadi.

Otherwise, the aftermath of the incident alone would be enough to make her suffer.

Loki considered this and gave Neil this ability.

Whatever happened to Neil, and Kevin's reaction would make it hard for them to watch Kevin in the future.

After accepting Kevin and Neil's gratitude, Loki smiled and joked to Kevin, "So, you don't blame me for bringing you here without permission?"

Kevin bared his teeth but didn't respond.

Kevin was filled with dread as he contemplated the potential consequences of returning. He really wanted to take out his magic gun and stab Loki directly.

Loki smiled silently. He didn't even think about getting Kevin's forgiveness. Rather, he would be depressed if Kevin really forgave him.

Now, seeing Kevin looking unhappy, wanting to beat him up but knowing he couldn't, and therefore looking aggrieved, Loki felt extremely happy.

As for Neil, although she liked to carry Kevin occasionally, the person she cared about the most was naturally Kevin, so she turned her attention to the two pairs of leg skeletons of another goat and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Thor said, "You still want it? This thing is useless if you eat too much."

Neil shook her head and glanced at Kevin... She thought this ability was great, so she really wanted to give Kevin one too.

"She wants Kevin to eat it too." Loki saw it.

To be honest, Kevin was a little envious. After all... he looked very handsome!

Apart from anything else, it feels really cool to transform into lightning speed!

"Kevin?" Thor tilted his head to look at Kevin, shook his head, and said, "No, if he eats it, then all his efforts for so long will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but lower his head in frustration, and Neil also felt a little regretful.

But after seeing Kevin's depressed look, she blinked, became excited again, and jumped in front of Kevin in two steps.

She spread her wings and proudly fluttered her long feathers, showing off to Kevin: "Kevin, look, isn't it beautiful? Beautiful! And I have six more protections!"

Not to mention, obtaining this slender light blue feather really added a bit of nobility and mystery to Neil, who was already very beautiful.

This feather is somewhat similar to the long and slender feathers on the phoenix.

Seeing Neil showing off, Kevin's mouth twitched. He cast a quick glance at Loki and Thor standing next to him, contemplated the situation, abandoned the notion of a direct confrontation with Neil, glared at Neil, and exclaimed, "Shut up, you Thunderbolt!"

"Thunder?" Thor repeated in confusion.

"Well, that's... as swift as lightning, moving like thunder." Kevin replied calmly, "I think this title is quite suitable for Neil now!"

"As fast as lightning, as powerful as thunder... Good, not bad!" With a loud laugh, Thor told Neil, "From today on, you will be known as Neil Thunder!"

As soon as Neil uttered these four words, Kevin couldn't resist raising the corners of his mouth, desperately trying to suppress his laughter, all of which Neil witnessed.

Therefore, Neil immediately understood that the word "Thunder" was definitely not as beautiful as it seemed. It was very likely the same as the nickname of the husky Fenrir and the maid Slude, which was an unknown evil taste.

But now that Thor has spoken, what else can she do?

Then, because Nelle mentioned the protection, Loki didn't know what he was thinking; maybe he thought it was fun, so he said a few words and asked Thor to give Nelle protection.

When Thor heard this, he thought that after giving Neil the protection, he would be able to observe Kevin at any time, and most importantly, he could still talk to Slude. He thought it was a good idea, so he gave her the protection.

Thus, Neil now possessed seven protections.

Although these protections are more like marks than protections, only Loki's is useful and grants some power.

But after all, it is also a protection. At least from now on, Neil can fly into their territory at will.

When Kevin saw Thor giving the blessing, he said that he had become numb. He even had an idea that the next time he went back, he would take Neil to ask Frigga and Sister Hodel for the blessing.

Let's see if we can finally achieve the goal of receiving the blessings of the twelve main gods of Asgard.

Although most of them are just to put a mark on Neil, if they were really put together... think about it, wouldn't it be quite exciting?
