It would take about six or seven days to fly from Earth to Asgard without the help of the Rainbow Bridge.

The six or seven days mentioned here have a precondition, that is, the speed of the spacecraft can reach the so-called 'average level'.

For example, the Minerva and Blue Star in Shi Xiaolei's hands.

But if it is replaced by this one in the hands of the dark elves...

After all, it is an old model left over thousands of years ago, and the performance of this ship is slightly outdated. To be precise, the ability of 'invisibility of the whole ship' can be regarded as a bright spot. Other aspects, such as firepower and speed, are actually completely behind the current era.

We have reached a place that is only a day's flight from Earth, and now we will turn to Asgard... With the speed of the spaceship in the hands of the dark elves, it will take at least seven or eight days to sail normally.

However, just like knowing a secret way to sneak into Asgard, the dark elves who are accustomed to moving in the dark also have several shortcut routes that other races have never known. The entrance to one of these shortcuts happens to be near where they are now, and the exit to this shortcut also happens to be in the 'outskirts' of Asgard.

To get to the shortcut entrance, it only takes half a day of sailing.

Counting the time consumed by continuous transitions, it will take about a day to run this shortcut.

From the exit, I rushed to Asgard, and it was a day.

In other words, it is not too difficult for the dark elves to temporarily divert to Asgard at this time. Two and a half days, that's about it.

This also means that Algorim has only three days left and less than four days left. After two and a half days, he will reach the exit of the shortcut. From then on, Algorim will incarnate. In order to curse the warriors, he led a small group of troops to the secret passage and began to carry out the so-called infiltration mission. According to the records left in the past, any dark elves that fused with crystal fragments can only persist for about one to two days after incarnating into a cursed warrior. Since ancient times, no one has broken through this upper limit and persisted for more than 48 hours.

With Algorim's physique, he might be able to last for ten or twenty hours. Counting the two and a half days ahead, isn't it just three days and less than four days of Yushou?

"Colson?"

"It's me." On the phone, Coulson's tone was as polite as ever: "Locke, are you at home now?"

Not long after I got home, I suddenly received a call from Coulson. This timing is a bit coincidental, and it will inevitably surprise Shi Xiaolei.

Looking out the window subconsciously, Shi Xiaolei replied, "I'm here, what's the matter?"

"I'm coming to your house now, if you don't mind, can you spare some time to meet me?" To avoid being rejected, Coulson pretended to be casual and added: "Remember Kang Na seems to like the little cakes from the XX store, I passed by there just now and brought her some by the way."

People came with gifts, what else could Shi Xiaolei say.

"Okay." Agreed, Shi Xiaolei smiled: "I'll wait for you at home, just come in directly."

"Thank you, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, within a few minutes, Coulson drove his favorite red convertible classic car through the gate of the manor, walked straight in, and appeared in Shi Xiaolei's line of sight.

Seeing Coulson park the car, Shi Xiaolei took a few steps forward and greeted with a smile.

Then he took the snack box that Coulson had lifted from the passenger seat and handed it to Cinderella who was following. Shi Xiaolei asked casually, "Man, why did you suddenly come to me? Is there something wrong?"

"I talked to Mei on the phone." Knowing that Shi Xiaolei didn't like to go around detours, Coulson said straight to the point: "Listen to her, Asgard seems to be preparing for the war? Locke, you know more about it and know how to respond. What's the matter?"

Under the arrangement of Father Odin, Asgard has secretly made preparations to face the coming dark elves.

The soldiers went back to the barracks one after another, and the big men who gathered in the tavern every evening to make a noise were less than usual.

The guards patrolling the street also looked busier than usual.

As an elite agent, it was impossible for Melinda May not to notice the change in the atmosphere. What's more, she is now the head of the trading station, and she has to deal with those traveling merchants who do import and export business every day. And with Asgard entering a state of combat readiness, the actions of foreign travel merchants have been visibly restricted.

All in all, Melinda May, who stayed in Asgard, noticed this change almost immediately.

Half of it was out of worry, and half of it was routine. After confirming the change in the atmosphere~lightnovelpub.net~ Melinda May immediately reported to SHIELD through the interstellar communication equipment.

Because Shi Xiaolei didn't inform Melinda May when she went to Asgard this time, she didn't know what the reason was that made the Asgardians enter a state of combat readiness. Therefore, from the standpoint of herself and S.H.I.E.L.D., she can only guess and analyze by herself to judge why the Asgardians did this.

It's natural to feel uneasy.

After all, Asgard and Earth belong to the Nine Realms and have an extraordinary relationship. No one knows whether the war that the Asgardians are about to face will have an impact on the earth.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Let's put it this way, thanks to knowing the relationship between Shi Xiaolei's family and the Asgardian royal family, I am quite sure that the Asgardians will not take the initiative to attack the earth, otherwise...

"I really didn't expect you to notice." After a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei's face showed an admiring smile.

"So, you actually know about it?"

"Yes." Shi Xiaolei nodded, turned and walked to the shade of a tree beside him: "Not only do I know, in fact, the behavior of the Asgardians was triggered by a message I brought."

"Huh?" Coulson was very surprised by this, and he couldn't help frowning: "Can you explain?"

"It's a long story." I thought it would be long-winded to explain, so I didn't really want to answer. But seeing the serious expression on Coulson's face, Shi Xiaolei still shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, for the sake of your old friend, I'll explain a little to you. That's how it goes... …”

That's it, Barabara.

After spending some saliva, Shi Xiaolei quickly described the ins and outs of the incident to Coulson.
