Thor immediately widened his eyes, his expression quickly turned serious, he turned his head to Sif and said, "Issue the orders, start the search within the Nine Major Kingdoms immediately. The fleet's restructuring will have to wait… command all fleet captains and the captains of main ships to wait for me in the hall of the Fairy Palace."
Sif saluted, accepted the order and left, then Thor turned to Loki and asked, "What about the Sanctum Sanctorium? Aren't they the best at finding people?"
"They should have started looking already. Tony called me, firstly hoping that Asgard's Divine King can help search the peripheral areas of the Nine Major Kingdoms, and secondly, he had a conflict with Magneto and is afraid that his daughter will be implicated and wants to send Helen over to stay for a few days."
When he heard that Stark wanted to send Helen over, Thor was overjoyed. He looked at Loki and said, "You go to Earth now and bring Helen over. You have no idea, Frigga is almost going crazy!"
"The Queen of Gods can't see her granddaughter, so she has put all her attention on me and Sif. Over the past three days, she has talked to me and Sif more than 20 times! She hopes we can get married as soon as possible and give her a granddaughter!"
Thor sighed, covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Now is not a good time. Asgard's system is not healthy, we need to reform. Taking advantage of the current weakening of the Three Great Empires of the Universe, which have no time to interfere with our internal affairs, I need to complete all these as soon as possible. I don't have time to get married, let alone have a child..."
Loki slightly turned his head, looked in the direction where Sif had left, shrugged and said, "Sif is also from the Aesir. You are internal digestion and don't involve other races in the Nine Major Kingdoms, so naturally there is no need to do big things. Otherwise, it might attract the attention of other empires..."
However, Thor shook his head and said, "If I were to marry Sif, she would be the Queen of Gods of Asgard and should have an honorable coronation ceremony. Also, I feel this is just the time to show the strength of Asgard. People from the Three Great Empires should not just come, but they definitely should attend the ceremony..."
Then, Thor shook his head and said, "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Finding Shiller is more important. We all know what kind of role Shiller played in this series of changes. Nothing is more important than his disappearance."
Thor flung his cloak behind him as he went out, took the long spear from the guard at the door, and Loki followed behind him. The two walked towards the outside of Fairy Palace. Loki said, "Tony said Shiller was injured, but according to their speculation, he did this to himself."
The two walked through the bright and spacious corridor of the Fairy Palace, walked into the elevator, and Loki adjusted the position of the cloak on her body while saying, "You must have also used the divine power to look at Shiller's soul. His chaotic soul is rare in the world, so it's no surprise that something went wrong."
Thor turned his head and looked at her, and saw that Loki couldn't sort out her cloak because of her long hair behind her. Therefore, he came behind her, erected her collar, and then re-tied the cloak belt.
Thor said while tying the knot, "Last time, didn't he create many versions of himself, and also forced a mysterious existence to push our world out of the large world?"
"That was a good change. What if there is a deterioration this time?"
After arranging her clothes and the cloak, Loki changed back, fixed the sword and magic wand on her waist, Thor took out Mjölnir, and handed it to Loki. Loki put the just hung magic wand in her hand, then hung the hammer in the most conspicuous position on her waist.
Loki stretched out his hand and took a gorgeously decorated crown from the dimensional warehouse. Thor took the crown looking straight ahead and put it on his head.
The elevator door opened, and the two walked out one after the other. In front of the fork leading to the Fairy Palace Hall, the two went in different directions.
Thor walked straight to the commanding stage at the front of the Fairy Palace Hall. At this time, in the Fairy Palace Hall, the generals were armed and ready for battle at any time.
At this time, Loki, who had taken a detour from the side channel, came out, stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the Sanctuary of the Nine Realms conveyed a message that a very dangerous important person has disappeared. I believe that Asgard should do its utmost to help search, and all major fleets should engage in carpet searches..."
When Loki said this, it exploded below. Some were discussing "why does Asgard have to care about the affairs of the Earthlings?", while others were saying, "it is not proper to make a big fuss just for one human."
Those who wanted to attack Loki personally shut up uncomfortably when they saw the hammer on Loki's waist.
Thor only stood on the dais, looking coldly. At this point, Sif stepped up. As the leader of the Asgard Palace Imperial Guards, everyone viewed her as a potential future Queen of Gods. The whole audience fell silent when she spoke.
"Your Majesty, I believe it's unreasonable to mobilize the Asgard fleet just for a tiny human. While Midgard is one of the Nine Major Kingdoms, it's still our vassal state."
"We shouldn't favor Midgard just because we have a closer relationship with it. We can't mount such a major operation just for any vassal state that's in turmoil. Does that mean Asgard has to clean up after every other vassal state in the future?"
Sif's words immediately won the agreement of many. At this time, Loki spoke again. The two of them conversed back and forth. They quickly explained the cause and effect of the incident and then pushed the issue to Thor for his decision.
Thor was very familiar with this procedure. He said, "Both Loki and Sif are right. It's indeed overkill to take serious action just for a human. But if we ignore this completely, it would no doubt chill the hearts of the Nine Major Kingdoms."
"So, let's do this. We'll send out several fleets, under the pretense of patrol for searching. All the main battle ships' captains, take my order!"
The audience responded in unison. Thor said solemnly, "The Glory of the Victor and its fleet will be responsible for searching within Vanaheim. The Soaring Conqueror and its fleet will be responsible for searching within Jotunheim..."
After all the fleets he planned to restructure were dispatched, Thor felt a relief. The governance plan he and Loki discussed was simply perfect.
He could achieve the purpose of gradual reform without playing the villain. Loki's reputation was already at its lowest, so it made no difference for him. With Sif, the potential future Queen of Gods, playing into their strategy, the warmongers of Asgard often found themselves on board before they could react.
Once everyone left, Loki was gonna discuss restructuring the fleet with Thor when his phone rang again. It was Strange's stuttering voice from the other side, "No, no, Loki, Shiller is back."
"What did you say?!" Loki asked incredulously.
"I said, he's back, and he brought some... people who shouldn't really be here... I mean... you should come over and see!"
Loki found it strange because he knew that Strange wouldn't change his decisions on major events. So, he took the Rainbow Bridge to Earth and teleported to the Sanctum Sanctorium in New York.
Just after he landed, he saw a room full of people, including Shiller, who they were about to search for. Shiller didn't seem to be injured at all and appeared quite vigorous, ready for a new season of member gifts anytime.
What puzzled Loki was that there were people he didn't recognize in the room.
His gaze fell on a middle-aged couple standing by the wall. The man was not tall, wore an old-fashioned suit, and a beret. The woman was dressed like an ordinary, elegant lady and looked quite dignified.
Stark parted the crowd and rushed over. As he saw the couple, he froze, and then, incredulously, he shouted:
"Howard, Maria??!!!"
