Chapter 86 Discussion of Retirement
Among the witches' potions, the aphrodisiac has always been a magical shave.
It can be used by any race, let alone primate humans, even if the person using it wants to make a pig obsessed with itself (presumably not one).
Therefore, in Daniel's 'marriage proposal' schedule, the role of aphrodisiac is at the top of the list.
Of course, he didn't want Tony to be obsessed with him, just strange thoughts such as rat gall attacks and fear of rejection, and then simply wanted to reduce the difficulty of proposing.
The basic idea is: don't 'seek' first 'get married', and strive to 'develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, raw rice and mature rice'.
He named it 'Wizard's Signature Proposal Plan A'.
Professor Snape, who was at X Academy, helping some of the little wizards he had just found, and who had just been brewing a magic stabilizing potion, thought that the other party was here to discuss business when he received a call from Daniel.
After all, the recent mutant registration bill introduced by the U.S. government has made Professor X unable to sleep well for many days, and the students in X Academy are even more panicked.
Because of this situation, Professor Snape sent Professor McGonagall a magical letter overnight.
Although he only spends most of his time researching, he has little patience or compassion for most young wizards. However, there is still a minimum sense of responsibility.
Moreover, as a Slytherin background, he is more sensitive than most people, and as soon as he heard about this registration bill, he involuntarily figured out a 'conspiracy' conclusion in his head.
This is also because the professor is too focused on potions and doesn't like to think about these things, if his good friend Lucius Malfoy is here, he probably not only comes to the conclusion that there is a 'conspiracy', but also analyzes (brain make-up) 'sensational tricks one, two, three, four, five, ......' or something.
Therefore, Professor Snape argued in his letter that if the United States insisted on implementing this bill, then the joint education plan of Hogwarts and X House must be put on hold for the time being. At the very least, until we understand the attitude of the US government towards mutants, we must not expose the small number of wizards in the United States to the crowd like mutants.
Unlike the current chaotic state of mutants, wizards have a much longer history, having lived through darkness and knowing the brutal consequences of being deemed 'heretical' by the ruling class.
Today, within the wizards, a certain political system and education system have long been formed, such as the Ministry of Magic, although it always makes stupid moves, but it is undeniable that it is the existence of the Ministry of Magic that has always safeguarded the fundamental interests of wizards.
This is also the fundamental reason why, despite all kinds of tosses and turns, Daniel betrayed Mycroft in the end, ignoring his mention of the Minister of Magic, and instead pushed Sirius to the position of Minister of Magic.
The only one who can rule a wizard is a wizard who completely protects the interests of wizards.
The mutants have not been around for a long time, and the two leaders, Professor X and Magneto, have not been able to establish a formal system for a long time, so it is difficult for them to unite like the current wizards.
With these questions in mind, Professor Snape was very strict about answering Daniel's call.
However, none of his imaginary 'heavy topics and debates that might lead to differences of opinion between them' came to fruition.
Daniel on the other end of the phone used a kind of "short oil, people are very embarrassed, but still want to say" happy and shy tone, and placed a "maximum of three days, the shortest day" can be an order for aphrodisiac, and explained at the end that "we have a good impression of each other, and the aphrodisiac is just the icing on the cake, so it is really just used to propose, definitely not to be a traitor, although rest assured" and other strange reasons, and happily said "Professor, come to the wedding together, come happy"!
'MD Staff! Professor Snape only felt that his heart was trampled by ten thousand divine beasts, and a blood-vomiting ** surged in his throat.
Especially that guy, he actually called it a 'wizard-style characteristic proposal'.
And added an explanation, very righteously said: "Wizards should have their own unique way of proposing, so that they can be different and individual!" ”
'Personality, you are paralyzed! Professor Snape wanted to curse his mother.
Don't insult wizards, okay?
Except for a few silly witches who have a strange temperament, can't get married and longs for love, from ancient times to the present, how many normal wizards TMD have proposed with aphrodisiac? And not stupid! I don't want to think about what the consequences will be when the effect of the aphrodisiac passes?
But when Daniel wanted to do something, he was relentless, persistent, executed, and prepared.
How to deal with a Potions Master?
The answer is: give him potion materials! Give him more potion materials! Keep giving him potions materials!
As a result, Professor Snape fell shamefully under the 'sugar-coated cannonball'.
Anyway, 'domestic violence after marriage is not under my control', anyway, 'I don't plan to get married, and the damage to the reputation of wizards is not under my control'......
He happily owl a bottle of aphrodisiac about the expiration date of a day or two after he passed.
As for the 'registration bill issue' that he was worried about.
Daniel replied very simply: "Oh, it's okay, don't worry, Charles and I have already discussed it." ”
Then, by the way, he complained freely: "In recent years, everyone in the Avengers has been praised too highly, it is like rows of colorful targets, there are gold and red, red, white and blue, as well as black, red, silver, hahaha, everything, everyone can shoot whichever they want!" A few days ago, even in cases of school violence, the media began to shout in front of the camera, 'Why are superheroes not here at the critical moment?' 'What a Hinderine! ”
Professor Snape was silent and did not express an opinion, and Slytherin-born wizards had always seen this kind of thing very clearly.
Heroes are certainly beautiful, but standing in front of people, they always have to bear more pressure and expectations, and even accusations for no reason.
As a result, Slytherin rarely produces the kind of heroes on the surface. Most of the time they judge the situation and think too much about the results, but they often lack the courage and leadership to move forward, despite the fact that millions of people are looking forward to it.
On the contrary, Gryffindor always produces this kind of hero, they may ignore it, they may keep making mistakes, but they always have the courage to take on a qiē...... This caused most Slytherins to have mixed feelings, both disdainful and occasionally a little envious.
But in Daniel's view, if the two colleges can understand each other and work together, they are simply the best partners to complement each other.
However, the personality is incompatible, and the contradictions and conflicts left over the years have made the tradition of 'meeting and pinching' maintained to this day.
For the time being, let's not worry about the historical legacy of wizards, just talk about the present.
After babbling about the capriciousness of the populace and the vulnerability of the media to incitement, Daniel continued: "...... So, it's time for everyone to take a good vacation. And, as the mutants also wanted to improve the situation, I offered Charles a suggestion - occasionally asking his X-Men to go out and practice their hands...... What's the deal with just training from the academy, or, just fighting with Magneto's brotherhood? Just took advantage of this opportunity, and also lived the addiction of superheroes, and by the way, changed the external image of mutants. ”
Professor Snape was slightly stunned, but he had never been a man of many tongues, and after only thinking about it slightly, he vaguely guessed something, and then stopped paying attention: "In that case, you should know in your hearts." Remember to send all the potion materials promised before on time. ”
"No problem." Daniel replied cheerfully: "My reputation has always been good.
Professor Snape snorted slightly, his reputation is good, maybe he can't always order some potions that are effective and speechless......
――――――――――――――――――
Daniel's plan of 'taking a leave of absence internally, retiring externally' was approved by Tony's hands.
This guy has been living a smooth life recently, and most of his psychological problems have been alleviated, except for the incident where his parents were killed, he has been depressed for a while, but now, he has gradually come out.
At this time, he has regained a bit of the early style, a little frivolous and improper.
"Sun, sand, bikini beauties, Yooooooooo......"
He stood up, raised his arms and cheered, and waved his hand magnificently, "How about everyone go with me?" I am responsible for reimbursement of company welfare, employee travel, and full consumption! ”
Miss Potts, who has always been most angry with Tony's wayward nonsense, rarely did not accuse him: 'Have you forgotten that in addition to the Avengers, you also have an identity as the chairman of Stark?' ’
She looked down and flipped through the harsh Superhero Registration Act on the coffee table, and after a few pages, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
Immediately afterwards, her strong woman said in a full posture: "This kind of agreement is going to be thrown out in the Stark Group." It's never going to be on my desk. The whole article is an overlord clause, which only asks what superheroes should do, but none of them write what to do for superheroes? No salary, no insurance, no holidays...... By the way, before, you still said that you would retire if you didn't do it? Daniel, why didn't you ask where to get your pension? ”
Daniel's blue eyes widened slightly, patted his head, and replied very annoyedly: "Yes, I forgot about it." Miss Potts, I think you need to help me find a lawyer who is familiar with labor law. In addition to pensions, there are other issues, and I vaguely remember that Section 2 of the U.S. Labor and Employment Act has detailed requirements for wages and working hours...... and the Fair Labor Standards Act also regulates the use of non-regular workers......"
The old antique Steve Rogers now just thinks: I'm sorry, everyone, I feel a little dizzy when I hear it.
At first, when he saw the registration bill, he refused to sign it.
But then, as soon as Daniel brought up the concept of 'retirement, vacation' or something, he was a little dizzy. Before he could figure it out, Pepper Potz raised a question of 'pension' from the standpoint of 'corporate CEO'.
Then, Daniel started the lecture hall on popular legal knowledge......
"Uh...... I don't know about anything else, but I seem to have a stipend. Steve replied subconsciously.
"Yes, Captain, you've been retired for a long time...... Before that, at the Avengers, was it a rehire? Daniel said with great interest.
Tony was also interested, interjecting: "I'm the chairman of Stark Industries, and no one has the right to let me retire." ”
"Hey, you're off topic." Colonel Rod, the only one with a government background and a bit of a preference for the 'Registration Act', struggled to try to correct the topic: "Aren't you talking about the Registration Act?" ”
"I've long since retired." Falcon raised his hand and followed the train of thought of the captain of the right talent and said, "I have been retired from the army for a long time. ”
Hawkeye and Black Widow looked at each other and said, "We're both unemployed. "Yes, that's right, Aegis has been disbanded for a long time since it was infiltrated by Hydra."
"Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch don't seem to have joined the company at all." Daniel also counted on his fingers.
“…… It seems to be ......" Vision hesitated and replied: "I just searched the whole network, and I didn't find a legal system related to the work of the machine, such as labor law, which ...... Does it count as discrimination? ”
"No, it doesn't count!" Daniel hurriedly replied, fearing that he, like his brother Ultron, would come to a human rights struggle.
He also gave a vivid example of this move: "Look at Thor, there is no relevant Thor protection law has been introduced, human beings must not discriminate against Thor, right?" ”
Vision then showed a stern thinking expression.
Colonel Rhodes said with a broken face: "Don't make trouble, the Avengers are not a registered company!" ”
"yes, what are we? Public welfare associations? However, joining the club and being required to retire? Daniel asked, confused.
"Can you please stop dwelling on this issue?"
Colonel Rhodes was speechless and said, "That's just a casual analogy from General Ross!" ”
Tony shrugged his shoulders: "He probably failed his language class!" ”
"So, I can only join the army." Daniel was very cooperative and added.
