The feeling of clearly perceiving himself getting stronger bit by bit made Shen Mu feel incredibly at ease.
"Odin said I could seek guidance on magic from Queen Frigga, and the Sun has been out long enough today!"
After landing, Shen Mu felt that instead of hanging out with Thor and his rough companions, it would be better to seek guidance from Frigga, who had taught Loki, a magic Master worthy of being the Nine Realms' foremost magician.
Moreover, although Shen Mu really liked his current dragon body, his immense size made it very inconvenient to interact with people.
Therefore, seeking out Frigga was also to see if there was a magical way for him to control his size.
If he were on Earth, he could go to Hank Pym.
The Pym Particles he discovered could enlarge or shrink objects at will, even to a subatomic state.
As for transforming into a human, Shen Mu didn't have much of a desire.
Having been a miserable office worker in his previous life, changing to a different form and lifestyle now was quite wonderful.
Acting on his thoughts, Shen Mu folded his wings and slowly walked towards Frigga's residence.
He didn't fly; after all, he was in someone else's Heavenly Palace, and he shouldn't be too presumptuous.
He should have at least basic respect for his Master.
Along the way, he encountered patrolling Heavenly Palace guards, who couldn't help but look up at Shen Mu.
After all, he was a giant Black Dragon favored by their My Lord God-King, something they had never seen before.
Shen Mu also nodded slightly in greeting to their attention.
"I guess this massive body must make you feel somewhat inconvenient!"
Frigga wasn't resting in her Heavenly Palace; instead, she was standing on the balcony, as if she had anticipated Shen Mu's arrival.
So, when she saw Shen Mu's enormous body appear somewhat cautiously before her, Frigga said with a smile.
"Yes, as you can see, Your Highness Frigga."
"You are one of Asgard's few magic Masters, so I wanted to ask if there is any magic that can help me control my body size."
Shen Mu admitted it very openly and frankly!
"You are the least dragon-like dragon I have ever seen. The dragons I've encountered before were all beasts filled with slaughter and cruelty, completely war weapons that were raised."
"You give me the feeling that within your dragon body, there is a human's intelligent soul."
Frigga didn't directly tell Shen Mu what he wanted to know; instead, she said with a sigh.
It should be known that she, unlike Odin, could not see through Shen Mu's soul to know it didn't belong to this World; she was simply guessing from Shen Mu's words and actions.
However, Shen Mu didn't show any abnormality regarding this.
After all, he had already been exposed by Odin once, and he knew that the secret of his soul was no secret to certain powerful figures.
But as long as they couldn't discover his system, then everything had no impact on Shen Mu.
"Your Highness Frigga, perhaps it's the blessing of the Dragon Ancestor! It makes me a little different."
However, Shen Mu didn't expose himself in the face of Frigga's guess.
"The Dragon Ancestor, Níðhöggr? That Black Dragon that single-mindedly wants to destroy the World Tree, his blessing wouldn't make you full of wisdom."
"However, your birth is already a surprising miracle."
"As the daughter of the King of Vanaheim, in hundreds of thousands of years of historical records, I have never known of the existence of such a unique Black Dragon as you in our realm."
Frigga still felt a kind of unique closeness to Shen Mu, a young dragon born in Vanaheim.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I seem to have said a bit too much by accident!"
"I think you came to me not just for your body size problem, right!"
"Odin has already told me that your body seems particularly sensitive to the effects of magic."
"Now it seems to be true."
As Frigga spoke, she raised a hand, and a weakening magic spell struck Shen Mu's scales.
Immediately, Shen Mu felt a wave of discomfort in his body, and his strength began to be restrained by another force.
Moreover, Shen Mu had no way to expel it.
Overall, this magic spell reduced Shen Mu's strength by about a tenth.
This was somewhat unacceptable to Shen Mu!
It should be known that this was just a casual magic spell cast by Frigga, not a meticulously prepared large-scale magic.
If he were to encounter certain magic-oriented opponents in the future, Shen Mu felt he might be played to death.
Although he had mentally prepared himself for his low magic resistance, Shen Mu's heart was still somewhat shocked.
At the same time, the thought of overcoming this flaw as soon as possible had already risen in his mind.
"Your Highness Frigga, may I learn about magic from you?"
Shen Mu immediately asked Frigga this question.
"Of course, I would be delighted to teach a student like you."
"I once tried to teach my magic to Thor and Loki, but compared to magic, Thor preferred to fight as a warrior."
"Loki, this child, has a very strong magical talent. I taught him the most essential magic inheritance of the Vanir, and he learned much better than his brother Thor!"
"However, compared to fighting with magic, Loki seems to prefer using magic for mischief."
"He even trusts his magic dagger more in combat."
Frigga couldn't help but feel a little amused and helpless when she thought about Thor and Loki's attitudes towards magic.
Thor was still a pure brute; magic was completely inferior to him smashing people with his Meow-Meow Hammer.
As for Loki, his best illusion magic was often used for pranks, especially with Thor and The Warriors Three often falling victim.
And perhaps influenced by Asgard's martial spirit, Loki seemed more willing to go into close combat with two small daggers than to defeat enemies with magic.
However, when Frigga spoke of her two children, a look of maternal love unconsciously appeared on her face.
Although Loki was not her biological child, more than a thousand years of companionship had made her treat Loki as if he were her own child!
"Your Highness Frigga is a good mother, and I believe she is also a good teacher."
"I will earnestly seek your guidance on magic knowledge. I will trouble Your Highness for some time to come!"
Shen Mu still admired Frigga quite a bit, so his tone naturally carried the humility of a seeker.
After all, in the original movie, when Thor traveled through time via the Quantum Realm to tell her her fate, she smiled and refused!
And she also told Thor that he was there to fix his own future, not to change his mother's future.
With her wisdom, she certainly knew what that meant, but she was still able to calmly accept her fate; this alone was enough to move people.
