Chapter 166 - Chapter 31: Being Blamed

The first issue of the comic company, Night Watch, sold very well. The first print run of 50,000 copies sold out in just one week.

Major newsstands called one after another to request more print runs, which was a very encouraging achievement for a new comic magazine.

Because sales were so good, even traditional comic book stores began placing orders.

This is a good thing, because Jason's company did not have sales channels with those comic book stores before.

It now appears that physical sales channels throughout New York have expressed great interest in this new comic magazine, especially for the gimmick of this comic.

The concept of a real story about a real hero is full of expectations, and it is a copyright that is quite worthy of operating IP.

An interesting thing happened in the process of selling comics. Many young women actually bought this comic magazine which mainly contained superheroes.

This is a relatively rare thing. You know, in European and American comics, there are a certain number of female readers who like superhero comics with muscular men.

However, the readership of this type of comics has always been mostly young men, and the fact that so many women came to buy heroic comics this time is indeed small news.

This is all thanks to the appeal of a certain fan artist on the internet, which made many fans pay to buy this comic.

The new semester is about to begin, and Jason will also usher in the last period of his student life.

Before he could feel any emotion, Jason received another summons from Ancient One.

This summons seemed more formal and polite, unlike the last time where they just sent a wizard and said that Ancient One wanted to see you.

Jason first received an email from the guardian mage of the New York Sanctuary.

The general idea is that Ancient One hopes to meet Jason again, and may need Jason's help to do something.

The letter was written in a tactful and polite manner, indicating that Jason did not have to come if he did not have time.

Jason thought for a long time and decided to take some time to visit the New York Sanctuary. He showed the wizard ring that Ancient One gave him last time as a token of trust.

The wizard in New York opened the portal and sent Jason to Kamar-Taji.

Although Jason had been here once, the strange buildings in Kamartaji were still pleasing to the eye.

"I will obey your call. Master Ancient One, what instructions do you have for me?" Jason met Ancient One again in the room where he had met him last time.

The difference from last time was that last time it was a private meeting between the two of them, but now there were two more people in the room.

A sturdy man with long golden hair, he looks very majestic, and his body is as perfect as the statues of gods carved by ancient Greek sculptors.

But the man looked a little depressed as he sat on the carpet, and he looked very ungraceful.

The other, thinner man was handsome in a different way. He looked very graceful, and even when he was simply sitting cross-legged he showed a certain posture.

He looks like he has a profound upbringing, or even comes from an aristocratic family.

Ancient One looked at the two brothers in his hall who looked totally incompatible, and couldn't help but feel a slight headache.

He didn't even know why he agreed to ask Odin to help re-educate Thor.

Look at the demeanor of the God of Thunder. He behaves exactly like a Nordic Viking pirate.

There was no trace of the air of the future king of Asgard in him. On the contrary, his younger brother Loki was elegantly flipping through Kamar-Taji's collection of magic books.

In Ancient One's opinion, Loki has the bearing and pomp that a superior should have, and of course, wisdom.

Jason's arrival finally interrupted Ancient One's thoughts, and he stared at Jason for a while.

Jason was a little terrified. "Night Walker, I invited you here today because I need your help."

Huh? Ancient One needs my help! Could it be something to do with protecting the Earth? I can't bear such a heavy burden right now.

Jason thought of the last conversation he had with Ancient One. At that time, Ancient One was like an old charlatan who was selling Tathagata Palm for ten dollars.

So Jason spoke without thinking, "If it's about saving the earth or something, I don't think I can do it."

Jason's words attracted the attention of the two brothers over there. Loki put down the book in his hand, looked up at Jason, but didn't say anything.

Thor glanced at Jason and snorted with disdain.

Jason felt that the two men looked familiar, as if he had seen this kind of brotherhood somewhere before, but he did not recognize them at once.

Ancient One shook his head after listening to Jason's words, indicating that he was not asking Jason to do this.

He pointed at the two brothers and said, "These are the two princes of Asgard. Asgard is a kingdom of gods in the sky."

Ancient One briefly told the story about Asgard, so we don't need to go into details here.

Moreover, Ancient One also roughly explained the origins of the two brothers. One was Thor, the god of thunder and storms, and the eldest prince of Asgard.

One is Loki, the god of mischief and lies and the little prince of Asgard.

Jason slapped his head. No wonder he felt they looked so familiar. They turned out to be Loki and Thor.

However, Jason remembered that Loki seemed to be a villain, and Thor would become an Avenger in the future.

Moreover, it seems that the time when Thor came to the earth was wrong, and wasn't he stripped of his divine power and cast down to the mortal world alone by Odin?

How come Loki is here now? Is there another deviation in the timeline?

Besides, why would these two brothers come down to earth to look for me? I am not the gods of Asgard.

"So, Master Ancient One, what do you mean?" Jason didn't quite understand what Ancient One was going to do.

"Odin hopes that Thor can learn humility and tolerance in the mortal world," Ancient One explained.

"So Thor will live in the world for a while as a mortal, and understand what humility is in this society in the way of ordinary people."

Ancient One's words did not hide anything from Thor, which made Thor even more unhappy after hearing them.

But the corners of Loki's mouth rose slightly, and then he opened a magic book again and continued reading.

"And Loki will be Thor's guardian during his time on earth." Ancient One said, pointing at Loki who was reading a book.

"So why are you looking for me?" Jason suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Anyway, recently whenever he had a bad feeling, it would definitely come true. It was even more sensitive than spider sense.

"I hope that during this period of time, Thor can learn from you how to live a normal life as a mortal and experience the joys and sorrows of the world." Ancient One's smile made Jason feel as if he was in big trouble.

Jason glanced at Thor who was sulking there. He looked like he didn't want anyone to get close to him. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

And there is Loki, who looks harmless and is reading elegantly. Jason knows that this elegant man is not as easy to get along with as he looks.

Ancient One said with a narrowed eye and a smile. "Night Walker, I think you are a very suitable candidate, what do you think?"

I think it's not suitable at all! You are trying to pass on the blame, Ancient One!

You must be trying to pass the buck! Is this retribution for me passing the buck to Hydra?

It turns out that everyone will become the scapegoat one day!

Looking at the two brothers who were not easy to get along with, Jason felt very disappointed.
