Half an hour later.
Luo En followed Thor's guidance to a charred pit miles away and asked:
"Was the item lost here?"
"Yes!"
Thor quickly nodded and explained the general situation.
While he was in a small grove, knocking out his two divine goats preparing to handle the ingredients, he suddenly sensed a peculiar sense of being watched and an underlying hostility.
Instinctively, he threw the Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer, towards the direction of the hostility.
As the presence of his opponent vanished, Thor thought he had easily resolved the issue and reached out to call back the Mjolnir he had thrown.
Unexpectedly, after a long wait, the Mjolnir, unlike usual, did not return to its master's hand.
Feeling something was wrong, Thor followed the lingering scent of Mjolnir to the crime scene, only to see the mess in front of him, with the hammer he had been with day and night nowhere to be found.
