Before I knew it, the so-called meeting had been going on for more than an hour.

Because the battlefield is in Asgard, most of the follow-up finishing work is only related to Asgard and does not involve the earth. Therefore, in the first half of the meeting, Shi Xiaolei and Stark basically did not participate in the discussion.

Either chime in casually, or eat and drink. Compared with Thor, who was flustered and nervous from time to time because of sudden questions, and Loki, who was thinking hard to give a better answer, Shi Xiaolei and Stark were obviously much more relaxed.

It wasn't until the discussion called the meeting, which should actually be regarded as an assessment, came to an end that Stark raised his hand because of one incident, showing the expression of "I have something to say".

"What's the matter, Mr. Stark?" Noticing Stark's movement, Odin raised his hand to signal.

"I want to ask, the site of the dark elves..." Turning his head to look at Shi Xiaolei, Stark asked with some uncertainty: "What is it called? Svartefheim?"

"Well, that's it."

"Ahem." Nodding, looking at Odin again, Stark continued: "What do you think about Svartefheim? Now that the last dark elves have been captured, it means that Svartefheim Mu has become a land of no man, is it okay for me to say that? Although I don't know if it is a planet, or a dimension, but it has some value. Everyone, you have never thought about it. Is there some development there? For example, mining or something."

We haven't really stepped into the interstellar era. For human beings who have been bound on the earth, any alien planet has development value.

Take the 'mining' mentioned in Stark's words as an example.

No matter how barren the planet is, there must be resources that can be used by earth science and technology - without the precious metals or rare resources required by high-tech, can there be no ordinary resources needed in basic projects?

It is no exaggeration to say that even the most common rocks are of great economic value to the people on earth. For example, bringing back those stone materials to cut and polish them into building materials, there must be some big money to buy. After all, those materials are mined from alien planets, and the title of "alien building materials" alone is enough to attract many people.

The rare minerals in Svartefheim will arouse the interest of scientists, and Stark is just a top scientist, so there is no exception.

On the other hand, being a businessman made him miss Svartefheim's other resources.

It's no wonder that Stark would take the initiative to ask such a question.

"Svartefheim? What's there to develop there." Before Odin could speak, Thor interjected.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, it would be such a response, Stark turned his head subconsciously, with some doubts in his eyes, and looked at Thor who was accosting.

"Although I have never been there, I have seen some introductions in books before. It is said that Svartefheim is completely dark, except for the very faint starlight, there is no light at all." Said Here, Thor shook his head firmly at Stark: "Believe me, it's really boring there, and you won't like it there."

The meaning revealed in the words, can be summed up in three words - not fun.

'Is this what I'm asking? '

After hearing Thor's answer, Stark wanted to complain very much, but thinking that the other party's parents were in front of him, he could only sigh inwardly, dumbfounded, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Too lazy to listen to Thor's nonsense, Stark turned his gaze to Odin.

"For us Asgardians, Svartefheim is indeed of little value." Odin also sighed in his heart, but after meeting Stark's sight, his expression was very calm: " But with the development level of your Midgardians, there are a lot of minerals there, which are worth developing and utilizing."

The answer is very simple, and the meaning is very straightforward - Asgard has developed to a higher level. The various resources contained in Svartefheim are of value to the people on earth to develop and utilize, but on the side of Asgard, which has a higher level of civilization, they have been completely outdated and useless. .

To put it simply, after the industrial revolution on the earth, people began to use more coal and oil, and the demand for these resources suddenly increased by a large margin, while reducing the demand for more primitive resources such as firewood. same needs.

"So that's how it is..." He nodded to show he understood. After a moment of hesitation, Stark asked again: "Since you don't need it anymore, and you don't seem to care about it, can you give us a chance?"

"You want the right to develop Svartefheim?" Looking at Stark~lightnovelpub.net~ Odin's expression and tone didn't change much, but his aura increased slightly: "Did you mean it yourself, or..."

"Uh, is there a difference?" Stark touched his nose and smiled embarrassingly.

"If it's your own words, of course I won't object." Odin laughed: "You captured Malekith, according to our rules, part of the ownership of Svartefheim will be exchanged for The name of the booty is transferred to your name. After all, it was originally the territory of the dark elves, and in terms of nature, it is the same as the equipment carried by the dark elves, and it is also one of their possessions."

"However, Svartefheim is one of the Nine Realms after all. In order to maintain the balance of the entire Nine Realms, we cannot completely let go of its restrictions and control. If you want to take your own spoils, that is, in Svar If the ownership of Taifheim is transferred to someone else... Sorry, we have to audit the recipient. If he is not trustworthy and there may be hidden dangers in letting him take over Svartaifheim, we will not Agreed."

"If it is you, we have no objection, because you have already gained our trust. But if it is a certain country in Midgard, a certain official force will take your place..." Shaking his head lightly, Odin There was a very determined expression in his single eye: "As the king of Asgard and the guardian of the Nine Realms, I will not agree."

"Okay, I understand." Sensing Odin's attitude, Stark gave up the unrealistic thoughts in his heart, and nodded resentfully: "When I didn't say it, I still drank honestly." Let's eat meat."

"Sorry, I apologize for this guy. Your Majesty Odin, don't mind."

"No, I understand."
