Chapter 144: The responsibility of protecting the earth is entrusted to you
"Doom!" Li Jie was a little surprised that Dr. Doom actually appeared in Kamataki. But this is also an unexpected and reasonable thing. Because Doom had said before, he hoped that Li Jie would introduce him to the Supreme Mage.
Ever since talking to his mother in Hell, and his mother doesn't approve of what Doom did. In particular, Doom's mother could see that her son did not want to carry the burden of Latvia at all, and did everything for the sake of his mother's last wishes.
At the same time, it is also punishing the Latvian nationals who burned their mother as a witch. On the one hand, Doom created a peaceful, quiet, and at the same time relatively affluent living environment for Latvia.
But on the other hand, there is also oppressive rule, pervasive control and strong suppression of individual will, and the whole country is up to the word.
You are punishing others, but you are also punishing yourself. That's what Doom's mother said to Doom. With Jizo's mediation, Mephitos released Doom's mother and let her soul reincarnate.
But his mother's words also made Doom slowly relieved, and the first ten years of ruling Latvia may have been in high spirits.
But by now, Doom was tired of it. Deal with all kinds of government affairs, and tedious things. Having power in his hands and being on top of him no longer gives him pleasure. For Doom, the most interesting days of his life were the adventures of his youth wandering among famous mountains and rivers.
Those who search for lost civilizations and all kinds of hidden unknowns are his favorite things to do in life. Being a president is boring for him.
And when he was young, he had set foot in the western plateau of China, where he had stumbled upon a few words about the legend of the mage. After becoming president of Latvia, he deliberately collected information on this aspect.
It was not surprising that he knew of the existence of the Supreme Mage. Doom loves to deal with mysterious things. This is another civilization outside of science.
Regarding Li Jie's surprise, Doom just spread his hands: "Look, I said it a long time ago. I would like you to introduce me to the Supreme Master. This is my wish, and becoming a Supreme Master is probably my pursuit for the rest of my life. ”
"But you've been shirking and procrastinating, so I've had to find my own way. Doom said calmly, "I know what you're afraid of. But I'm not interested in destroying the world, whether people call me a villain or a tyrant. But when you open your eyes, do you have done any horrors to the earth? I didn't start the war in Eastern Europe, I just defended myself. ”
"Others call me a dictatorial and brutal rule in Latvia, but you've been to my country. Look at the lives of my nationals, look at the lives of nationals of Ukraine or other CIS countries. Doom said that he was quite proud of it.
"It's not like people in every country who come home from a hard day of work and open the fridge and get a good milk, a chunk of butter, a solid and fragrant sausage bread!"
"Forty-five percent of the world's seven billion people face the question every day not how to live, but how to live. And to enjoy the happy life I have created for them, then they need to pay a certain price. It makes sense. ”
Doom's words may attract strong criticism from some humanitarian defenders, but those who have really experienced many things and have seen life at the bottom of the world will not criticize Doom. Because compared to the so-called "freedom", more people care about being able to eat fresh bread and milk every day, live in a warm house, and don't have to wait for dawn in the cold with a hungry stomach.
"I think the Ancient One mage agrees with this point of view, so he blames me for a small mechanism I made, a device that simulates the breath of a demon god. That's why I'm standing here, Nightcrawler. There was a hint of pleasure in Doom's tone.
In fact, this device was inspired by his last trip to Hell, and he created a device that could easily simulate the breath of a demon god. However, the role is only a simulation, and the ancient one, as the guardian of the earth's plane, has always been handled by him.
So the Ancient One met with Doom of Latville in this situation.
Li Jie noticed that the Ancient One Master was now sitting cross-legged in his meditation chair, his old god was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he didn't care about all this.
It wasn't until Doom finished speaking that Gu Yi slowly spoke: "I have seen more tragic situations, in the era of low human productivity, maybe 90% of the world's people are in a state of hunger. ”
"In fact, it has only been nearly 60 years since civilians began to emerge from hunger, and even today there is no guarantee that no one on the planet will go hungry. So when I met Doom, I didn't think he had gone too far, in fact I had seen all the more excesses. ”
"But to keep the people alive and still have relative dignity, I think Doom has done a good job. And Doom has talent, so when he said he wanted to fit in Kamataiki, I didn't say no. However, he still needs to consider the fact that he wants to be my personal disciple. ”
The Ancient One mage opened his eyes, he glanced at Li Jie and Lan and then at Strange who was tied up by Lan: "So, who are you tying up this person?"
Strange's mouth was wide open, because what had happened today was beyond his comprehension. Well, put aside those robots and getting caught yourself.
Now I seem to be in the depths of the Himalayas, and at the same time I see a figure who seems to be amazing, who seems to be a mage? Well, the profession of mathematician really exists.
But who is that guy in the iron mask? He's the tyrant of Latvia! Oh my God! What the hell is going through?
Strange was smart, but his smart brain was a mess now.
Lan didn't care if Strange was in the mush in his brain, she tugged on the mage's chain and dragged Strange in front of her: "Ancient One Mage, do you remember the person you asked me to find? You told me that I had a premonition when I saw that person. And this person is exactly what makes me feel that way. ”
"You said you were looking for someone. A man who inherits your mantle, I think maybe he can give it a try, Supreme Mage's assessment!" Arashi said that, but her tugging of Strange looked similar to that of Satsuma to Li Jie.
And Dum, who had been on the sidelines, couldn't help but glance at Strange, is this guy here to compete with me for the position? I don't know if I am determined to win the position of the Supreme Mage? It looks like this guy wants to die!
Strange felt chills all over his body when he was stared at by Doom, and before he knew it, he had already attracted Doom's hatred. Now Strange opened his mouth, "Wait, can you tell me what the hell is going on? Nightkin please." ”
Strange turned to look at Li Jie and asked.
Li Jie patted him on the shoulder: "It's very simple, that is, the responsibility of maintaining peace on the earth may be handed over to you in the future." Good work, come on, I'm optimistic about you. As long as you can survive Doom's men. ”
Strange turned his head and saw the red glow of the monitor on the Iron Mask of Doom.
