Chapter 421: Precursor to the Overlap of the Nine Realms
The winter twist is not very cold, even if it is close to Christmas, but it is rare to see pedestrians wearing thick winter clothes on the street, eager to wrap themselves into zongzi, which is rare in twisting.
Greel, who has a much stronger system than ordinary people, is even more thin sweater and thin jacket, and he doesn't even wear a down jacket, let alone gloves and hats.
Holding a stack of nearly 10 centimeters of books, walking around the Columbia campus, surrounded by Renaissance Florentine buildings, makes people feel like they are walking into the Middle Ages, rather than in Manhattan, which is known for its prosperity and modernity.
Tostak's Fort Grell was able to get into one of the world's top 10 universities, following Stark's advice and taking mathematics as a major subject. In his words, the precursor of science is mathematics, and physics, chemistry, and biology all depend on breakthroughs in mathematics to make progress.
During the four months at this prestigious university, Greer felt only one word: 'busy', and the kind of busyness was completely different from his college days. Back then, it was a messy day, learning was the last at all, and it took a lot of effort to learn something, no matter where it was, but this time, Grell wanted to learn something, so he was naturally busy.
In addition to attending lectures and writing homework, you also have to participate in a lot of activities to earn credits, otherwise if the GPA is too low, you will not even be qualified to write a graduation thesis. I also have to find time to practice magic, check the temple on a daily basis, go on dates...
The Avengers Mansion used to run several times a week, but now it can't be visited once in a few weeks, but Stark feels very relieved, thinking that this is what a child should be, fighting and killing all day long, what is it. But compared to Peter Parker, Greer's time is still quite rich, Parker has never stopped working as a vigilante, and the heavy college courses have made him busy with research to the point of 'not touching the ground'.
The only good news is that since the burial of the full man, the world has suddenly become calm, so far there have been no super criminals, or there has been no super criminals who are known to the world, the war in the Middle East ended completely last month, countries began to withdraw troops in batches, ready to let soldiers return home for Christmas, this 'Christmas offensive' is finally not funny, but serious.
Naturally, the Avengers are also 'unemployed' and each of them has gone about their own business, going to school where they should have gone to school, continuing to run the company that runs the company, and even Bruce Banner recently accepted an invitation to a scientific symposium to give a presentation and present his findings.
Daisy chose Barnard College, one of Columbia's undergraduate colleges, a private elite girls' school, which is why Grell stood in the cold wind with a book in his arms, but Daisy's classes were often conflicting, either he took classes or she took classes.
Standing on the side of the street, there is very little traffic, Columbia is located in the northwest of Manhattan, if the Midtown Circle is the CBD, then the Morning Heights is the junction of urban and rural areas, almost no high-rise buildings, a water of low buildings, plus Columbia University's imitation Renaissance Florentine building complex, is really not like the center of Manhattan.
It didn't take long for Daisy and her classmates to walk out, see Grell leaning against the wall with a stack of books, wave goodbye to her classmates, walk over quickly, and walk side by side on the street.
"My mom might be here for Christmas," Daisy said wistfully, "if Daddy had time, we would have had a reunion dinner." ”
Since the last time they met, Jiaying returned to Earth in October, spent most of the day with Daisy, and did not reluctantly leave until the evening, in her words: "She had to find an opportunity to come to Earth." Daisy's father, Hyde, only made two phone calls, each time only talking about everyday things, never mentioning experiments, Jiaying and other issues, obviously not only their father and daughter could hear the conversation.
Grell took a free hand, grabbed Daisy's fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile: "If your mother can come to Earth, I will go to Director Fury and ask him to give your father a vacation, how about it"
"Alas, can it work?"
"Unless S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't need my help in the future," Greer didn't finish his words, when he saw the door of a black car three meters away open, and Coulson, who was in a suit and leather shoes, stepped out of the car with a standard smile on his face, looking at Grell and Daisy.
"Uh-huh!" Daisy turned to look at Grell and said, "Looks like I can start looking for a restaurant for Christmas dinner." ”
Grell stepped forward, and without waiting for Coulson to say hello, he spoke first, "What's the matter again?"
Coulson smiled and looked around, only to see people and traffic on the street, and the subtext was, "This is not the place to talk." ”
"Okay, you can find a quiet place."
Greel's words made the smile on Coulson's face even bigger, and he said softly: "I heard that there is a good Chinese restaurant here, why don't we go there." ”
"You've chosen, then let's go, there's a hot pot."
"Of course!"
In the antique box, Chinese knots and bulbs decorated like lanterns are hung on the wooden walls, plus chopstick cages, which are really suitable for the atmosphere of hot pot.
Coulson didn't say anything, but talked about some light topics, which did not affect his appetite until the end of the sumptuous hot pot feast, the dishes and chopsticks were removed, and the refreshments were replaced with refreshments, Coulson said the purpose of this time with a serious face: ".. The anomaly of the overlapping of the Nine Realms may have appeared. ”
"Hmm!" Grell put down the chopsticks in his hand, and listened seriously, there was an anomaly in Stonehenge a week ago, a huge stone slab lying on top of two boulders, weighing more than 50 tons, was actually warped, and the angle of inclination reached 15 degrees, as if playing a selfie.
At first, the manager of Stonehenge thought it was padded, but when he went up to check, he found that the boulder weighing more than 50 tons was 'floating', but the strange thing is that when he was an hour, the upturned boulder suddenly fell again, smashing on the boulder pillar below, making a huge sound, so that many tourists heard the impact.
After this phenomenon was reported, S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly learned about it, and immediately sent a team to investigate, but the strange thing was that everything was normal, whether it was the boulder or the surrounding environment, no anomalies were found, just like a lie made up by the administrators of Stonehenge and some tourists.
