A few minutes later, Tony and Thor sat down on the sofa in a relaxed manner. Tony also took off the Iron Man Armor on his body and put it aside. He was quite satisfied with Thor’s attitude just now.
If Thor hadn’t taken the blame so proactively, maybe Tony would have had to give him a good trashing. Of course, with Thor’s current strength, Tony may not have been able to achieve his wish.
“Okay, let’s put aside the matter of looking for Jackson for now, I am good as long as I know that kid is still alive and kicking. Now, tell me about the Dark Elves. Where did they go after the battle that day?” Sitting on the sofa with his legs up, Tony looked at Thor and asked.
As soon as Tony entered Thor’s apartment, he took measures to block the signal of the SHIELD surveillance team that had been set up in the room across from Thor’s. Thor’s identity was already known to SHIELD and he was considered an S-level figure, so Tony didn’t want to drive the team away. However, he didn’t want his conversations with Thor to be monitored, so he took steps to block the signal.
“After the battle, Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elf clan, fled back to their planet in a spaceship. No further action has been taken since then. However, Malekith lost too much in his plan and will unlikely to be able to recover and launch another invasion,” Thor told Tony, relaying information he had learned in Asgard.
Tony’s question about the possibility of another invasion by the Dark Elf clan reflects his concern about the earth’s ability to withstand another attack. The previous invasion, which was successfully repelled by Tony’s efforts, resulted in significant damage and loss of life.
The earth’s survival was made possible only with the aid of Asgard and the secret support of the earth’s sorcerer. Without these allies, Tony’s alliance may not have been able to prevent Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elf clan who possessed the powerful ether particle, from destroying the earth.
The memory of the great sacrifices made during the previous invasion weighs heavily on Tony and he is understandably worried about the potential for another attack.
Tony frowned and asked Thor, “What is your plan? Last time you came in a hurry and didn’t explain why the Dark Elf was invading Earth. I feel like there is a lot we don’t know about it.”
Lin Rui had previously encountered the space portal in Siberia while searching for the Magic Cube. He then crossed over to the dimension space in London to save Jane Foster but was severely injured.
He was then accidentally teleported to Asgard by Bifrost. Given this experience, Lin Rui had already suspected that the Dark Elf would invade Earth, but he did not have the opportunity to inform Tony and the others. Even if he had warned them, the outcome would have likely been the same.
“Malekith’s plan has been in the works for thousands of years. The earth is located in the middle of the Nine Realms, making it the first target of his invasion. The specifics of his plan are rooted in the events of a battle that took place thousands of years ago. It all began…” Thor then began to elaborate on Malekith’s motives and the details of the use of the Aether particles to Tony.
After another ten minutes, Thor completed his explanation. As he spoke, Tony expressed his shock and disbelief. With Thor’s explanation, Tony now had a better understanding of the Nine Realms and the position of Earth in the universe or in the world tree.
“It turns out… so that’s it.” When Thor finished speaking and started looking for water for himself, Tony couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“I think Jackson should know all of what you just said.” After sighing with emotion, Tony looked at Thor who was gulping water in front of him and seemed to ask himself a question.
“Jackson? He must know,” Thor interrupted Tony, “Although I am unsure of how he, as a person on Earth, obtained this knowledge. Perhaps he has… ” Thor’s sentence trailed off.
Despite Lin Rui not bringing it up, Thor had always suspected that there was more to the young man who had aided him in New Mexico. As he got to know Lin Rui better, his suspicions were confirmed, and he became certain that Lin Rui’s identity was not ordinary. Upon returning to Asgard, Thor discovered some information about Lin Rui from his mother, Frigga.
In other words, it appeared that this young man had a unique connection with Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One. If Lin Rui was indeed someone that the Ancient One held in high regard, then it was clear that he had a profound understanding of not only the Nine Realms but also the entire universe.
After all, the title of Ancient One was not one that was earned by simply remaining on Earth; it was acknowledged by other civilizations in the universe as well.
“Maybe what?” Tony asked eagerly, noticing Thor’s sudden pause. “Is there something you know about Jackson that I don’t?”
Ever since he met Lin Rui, Tony had been trying to uncover the secrets of this young man, but to no avail. Now, with Thor appearing to have knowledge of something, Tony was not going to miss this opportunity to learn more about Lin Rui.
“Um… this,” Thor hesitated, uncertain whether or not to continue under Tony’s questioning.
After all, the Sorcerers were a secret organization on Earth. However, during the recent Dark Elf invasion, Thor noticed that several sorcerers had come to offer their assistance.
“What are you unable to tell me? You are aware of my relationship with Jackson. Even if I am aware, I will continue to treat him in the same manner as before.” Tony expressed his dissatisfaction after observing Thor’s hesitancy.
In fact, as Tony said, given his lengthy friendship with Lin Rui, he will not entertain any alternative theories even if Thor suddenly informs Tony that Lin Rui is an extraterrestrial. After all, Lin Rui has always acted in a way that promotes earth preservation.
“Alright! But if Lin Rui returns in the future, don’t say that I mentioned it,” Thor said to Tony, after a moment of contemplation and spoke with a serious expression on his face.
“No problem,” Tony nodded in response to Thor’s words.
“You should already know about the Sorcerers, but do you know about the Ancient One, the Sorceror Supreme?” Thor asked.
“Yes, I’ve met him once. He is a very powerful individual,” Tony replied.
“The Sorcerer Supreme is not just powerful. Your Mirage Knight, Jackson Lin, has a good relationship with the ancient one. It’s possible that the ancient one is looking for an inheritor,” Thor revealed what he knew.
It’s worth noting that both of the situations Thor mentioned are true. While the relationship between the Ancient One and Lin Rui is not overt, it can be considered good, and the Ancient One has recently announced that he is searching for a successor.
However, these two circumstances do not align well with Lin Rui, as he has no aptitude for magic whatsoever.
