Chapter 622: Tony's Plans
The Great Elder was so angry that he slapped the table, no one had ever dared to confront him in front of him like this, not to mention that there were four outsiders here, the Supreme Mage Doctor Strange was still here, making such a big joke, how could Esengard and the Forest Druids gain a foothold in the magical world in the future? His breath was held in his chest, and he couldn't say this sentence for a long time.
As soon as the others saw that someone had finally stood up and spoken, they all shouted, "That's right, someone obviously interfered with the ceremony just now, this ceremony can't be counted as their victory, we want to replay it now!"
At this time, Goyle pushed away the crowd and walked in, he came to Paul's side, and gave Paul a heavy punch, knocking Paul to the ground, "Not only did you lose the Holy Pull ceremony, but you also had to lose the last face? If you lose, you will lose, if Li Kang hadn't made a move just now, all of our brothers in the arena would have died, do you really not know this? Or are you deliberately pretending to be confused? People have saved your lives, do you just repay the favor?" What about your conscience?"
Goyle's prestige among the younger generation is the highest, and the forest druids who were still shouting slowly lowered their arms, of course they also knew the truth of the matter, but when they thought that those magnetic metals were going to be given away in vain, their hearts were dripping blood.
Paul stood firm, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Goyle, are you crazy? Do you know that these magnetic metals are very important to us, we need to exchange them for money, are you going out and forgetting all these things?"
Goyle said coldly, "I haven't forgotten! But as my father said, we must be principled in our conduct and work, what are we afraid of if we have no money? I am very good to wander outside alone, and the magicians of other sanctuaries are not as capable as us, and they are not also in the outside world, we have been isolated from the world for too long, and now is a good time for us to reconnect with the outside world!"
Paul's face showed a look of disdain, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Do you think you're great when you go out? The people out there are not only evil, but also very greedy, why should we keep in touch with those guys? It's not necessary at all! It's best for Esengard to remain pure like this." ”
"Pure, I don't understand what you're talking about," Goyle asked sharply, "We magicians were originally part of this world, what is happening now?How did you people become so conservative? ”
Paul was about to retort, Tony came behind the two, he was much shorter than these two, so he had to stand on tiptoe and gently patted Paul's shoulder, "You two have been talking for a long time, can you let me say something now?"
The two of them were arguing with red faces, but now they just stopped to see what Tony was going to say, and the others also looked at him quietly, Tony cleared his throat, "Everyone, I understand your arguments, it seems that the key to the problem is that our Esengard is in a financial exhaustion problem, I don't know if it's right to say this." ”
No one dared to answer this question, and they all looked at the Great Elder on the high platform.
"That's right, because the current year is very bad, our harvest has been poor for five consecutive years, and now our survival is maintained by selling magnetic metal," the Great Elder rubbed his temples with a little headache, these words had been held in his heart for too long, and he also wanted to find someone to talk to now, "I know you want to ask, don't we have a lot of resources here?" For example, wood and the like, but we are servants of the spirit of nature, and if we profit by harming nature, then the spirit of nature will punish us, so the situation is like you see, even if we die poor, we will not use that way to obtain finances, of course, let me steal and rob, we will not do that. ”
"You wait a minute, I actually want to know something, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea or wine or something, everyone relax, there's really no need to be so serious, didn't I ship a container of wine before? I suggest that everyone might as well have a party, it's better to have a party, I'll put on some music, everyone just follow my beat," Tony pointed the remote control on his watch at the Iron Man armor, and a cheerful dance song came from the armor," Let's be happy, follow the beat and go brothers, if the wine is not enough, I will soon bring some more, we are going to have wine today and get drunk today, let's be happy~!"
Li Kang and Captain America came to his side, and Captain America frowned and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" Doctor Strange is still in a state of confusion, and there is tension here, what do you want to hold a party?"
"You're here, I still have something to discuss with Li Kang and them, you can lead these forest druids to a carnival," Tony said mysteriously, "This is the key to the success or failure of our operation, you must bring the rhythm, understand?"
Captain America stared at Tony for a long time, and he finally recognized, "Okay, I want you to know what you're doing, but even if you want me to lead them to the party, I have to have some props, don't I?
"It's all right, I've got the wine here, and it's the best spirit, and it's the same as the appetite of these forest druids. Li Kang is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement, anyway, the Avengers have been pulled into the pit by him, he doesn't care about the things between these superheroes at all, he took out a bottle of high-purity alcohol from his windbreaker and stuffed it into Captain America's hands, these were originally gifts for the Great Elder, but Tony's gifts are all in containers, and his bottles of things are useless, so it is better to simply borrow flowers and offer Buddha.
Captain America picked up the wine bottle and looked at it, he reluctantly turned to face the forest druids, "Don't be worried, if you have any problems, it's better to wait until you finish drinking, if you don't drink it, what can you discuss?"
He lifted the bottle and took two puffs, and when the hot alcohol entered his throat, he almost squirted, but luckily he had been modified by the Super Soldier serum, otherwise this sip would have suffocated him.
However, Captain America's heroic actions stimulated all the Russian strong men present, even if these people believe in Druidism, but they can't change the temper of the fighting nation, Russia has always had a tradition of talking about business at the wine table, they saw Captain America take the lead in drinking, and smelled the smell of wine, and everyone's wine worms were immediately hooked out.
"Alright then, let's drink it first and then talk!" The Great Elder saw the expressions of his subordinates, and knew that this matter could not be stopped, and he also felt a little thirsty in his throat, if he could get a bottle of wine to moisten his throat, it would naturally be excellent.
The container full of wine was just outside the temple, everyone rushed out in a swarm, and moved all the wine in the container out, Captain America jumped into the arena and poured two sips of wine to Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange coughed violently twice, and the cold feeling in his body because of the excessive consumption of magic power faded a lot in the warmth brought by alcohol.
Captain America whispered Tony's instructions to Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange nodded, he took the wine bottle, came to the high platform of the elders, and poured wine for the elders, if it was an ordinary person, he would not have this qualification, but Doctor Strange was a supreme mage, and he personally poured wine for the elders, and the elders had a feeling of flattery.
Tony pulled Li Kang to find Goyle at this time, and he asked in a low voice, "What is this guy's name?"
"You can call me Goyle. Goyle replied in a low voice.
"Alright, Brother Goyle, I'd like to know at what price you usually sell these magnetic metals. Tony asked.
"Every time we need it, we will sell about ten kilograms of magnetic metal, to be honest, these magnetic metals are not pure, and the storage capacity is not large, we only have fifty kilograms left here, if purified, I am afraid that we can use one-tenth, the price, in previous years, it was sold for about 100,000, this year may be more expensive, I estimate that it will be more than 1 million." Goyle didn't hide it, he told Tony the actual situation, "Actually, if it weren't for these magnetic metals, we would have gone out a long time ago, and now because of these heavy metals that can be exchanged for money, my people are content with the status quo, and their vitality and future are limited, so I hope we didn't pick up these magnetic metals in the first place." ”
Tony nodded, he already had some clues, "Thank you for telling me something so confidential." ”
