124: What do you want to do?

The inn is located in Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, in a giant city.

Nigel, the giant, transformed into a human form, and the little white-haired girl beside him was sitting in the room with Kevin, Thor, and the others.

Nigel's "passionate" gaze was too much for Kevin to bear, so he turned his eyes away and avoided looking at him.

Kevin had a deep impression of Nigel... mainly because he only knew a few giants.

Shakey, the mountain giant, considers Nigel a friend. Kevin once severely teased Nigel using the pressure of Fenrir.

Let's not talk about titles like the giant wolf tamer and the giant-killing hero; let's just talk about the version that is most widely circulated in the Nine Realms today. Kevin killed the mountain giant Shaki in order to seize his daughter Skadi.

All of this made Kevin feel extremely embarrassed when facing Nigel in front of him.

"Loki..."

The silence between the two sides did not last long. Thor, the god of thunder, who had spoken, looked at Loki, who was smiling, with a serious expression, and asked in a loud voice, "What's going on?!"

The little girl, who looked less than ten years old and was sitting next to Nigel, frowned slightly at the rough voice that echoed in the room.

Then, the originally indifferent gaze became even colder when it looked at Thor.

Loki naturally knew what Thor wanted to ask and smiled leisurely, "It's nothing serious. The giant king of the Kingdom of Noise just sent someone to greet us after knowing that we were going to visit him."

Hearing this, Thor turned his head to look at Nigel, and at this moment, Nigel finally shifted his gaze from Kevin to Thor.

He stood up, bowed slightly, and said calmly, "He is right. I am indeed here to greet you on the king's orders."

"Greeting?" Thor laughed twice. "I think they sent someone to monitor us!"

Nigel did not respond. He was even unwilling to talk to Soldo. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Kevin. He said in a meaningful tone, "Human, we meet again."

Now that he has said this, what else can Kevin do?

I could only stand up with a calm expression, straighten my body, smile and nod to him, and reply, "Yes, I didn't expect that I could meet you so early."

Despite feeling extremely helpless in my heart, I managed to save face effectively.

To be honest, Kevin really wants to be a nobody. There are Thor and Loki next to him. If he has trouble, shouldn't he go to them? He said that he didn't want to show his presence at all.

But what can I do? My strength does not allow it!

"Yes." Nigel also smiled and said, "Originally I thought that when we met, you were in the king's dungeon."

After the words fell, the scene instantly fell silent. Thor looked at Nigel in front of him with a playful look, his eyes narrowed.

Thor was ready. Thor would strike him with a hammer if his next sentence remained incorrect.

"Really?" Kevin smiled faintly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you... But I think you will never see that day in your lifetime."

Nigel did not respond because he found that Thor, Loki, and even the little girl sitting next to him were all staring at him quietly.

"...Yeah." Nigel sighed and shook his head slightly, saying, "I guess I'll never see that scene again in my lifetime."

Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised.

Hey, why did you give in so quickly?

Although it is said that a man of insight is a wise man, according to his understanding, Kevin knows that most of the giants are stubborn and attach great importance to honor.

Although he was a little confused about this, it was not a bad thing for him if the other party gave in, so Kevin sat down obediently and continued to be his own nobody.

Then Nigel no longer set his target on Kevin but started to speak politely to Thor. After all, in this journey, Kevin was indeed a supporting role, and the main characters were the two gods, Thor and Loki.

So Kevin, who was sitting next to him, naturally turned his gaze to the white-haired little girl next to Nigel, who had not said a word from beginning to end.

Perhaps she noticed Kevin's gaze, and soon the white-haired little girl turned her gaze over, and the two of them looked at each other.

Looking at the pair of indifferent red eyes, Kevin was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded slightly to the little girl.

The little girl looked at him quietly, without saying anything or expressing anything.

But tonight, for some unknown reason, Loki was unusually quiet. Looking at the two people staring at each other quietly, he sighed silently in the dark, then carefully rubbed his forehead with his hand.

Although it made sense for her to come here if one thought about it carefully, it was still beyond Loki's expectations.

After a while, Thor also noticed the little girl and casually asked Nigel who she was.

Only then did she say her first sentence in an unusually pleasant voice...or rather, just one word: "Bad luck."

...

...

Late that night, Loki came to the little girl's room and cast spells around the room to ensure that no one could eavesdrop.

And it seemed that she had known that he would come. The little girl, who had not slept yet, sat quietly by the window, and the moonlight shone on her long hair that was scattered behind her.

Loki, who was locked up in the mountains, looked at her looking at the scenery outside the window for a long time and then sighed softly, "Why are you here?"

"...Father." The little girl turned her head and stared at Loki with her cold red eyes. She said calmly, "Didn't you ask them to come to me?"

"I just asked them to come to you and borrow your power."

"The power to make Thor age." The little girl said calmly, "If I don't come over myself, do you think it can be done so easily?"

"Alright, Hela, you and I are not going to play this game anymore."

Loki said with a slight headache, "You should know clearly that I have no intention of making Thor old. You don't need to especially send a clone to come here. Just call your servant to come here... You are here because of the child, right?"

"Since you understand it in your heart, Father." With a slight smile on her lips, Hila, the clone with the power of aging, tilted her head and looked at the night view outside again: "Then why bother forcing me to say it out?"

"...What exactly do you want to do?" Loki looked at his only daughter with complicated eyes.

Hela did not give an answer. To be precise...she didn't know what she should do.

"Maybe... just come out to take a look." After a long time, Hela replied softly.
