Chapter 252: Brother Hammer is here
The mages were uncomfortable, but Pierce was uncomfortable.
Although he didn't know the origin of the ancient one, he could see that the ancient one was the leader of this group of mages. Now I don't know why, Gu Yi took the initiative to give up the management of the mage, who is the most beneficial to him, of course, it is the most beneficial to him, the pick-up man.
As the saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, and it is impossible for an organization to have two leaders, Gu Yi's initiative to go into the wild immediately aroused Pierce's full favor, and even Gu Yi forgot about him becoming mute.
After all, it's just language ability, how can there be a right to come to the fragrance!
Pierce smiled and said to the Ancient One, "Aba, Abba Abba Abba ......"
Gu Yi didn't even care about the three major temple mages that had been raised for thousands of years, and naturally he wouldn't be embarrassed by Pierce, a bad old man, and with a little finger, her language ability returned to Pierce.
"The master's single-minded search for the truth and not being disturbed by worldly foreign affairs is really a superior demeanor and admirable." Pierce first praised it, and then said quite sincerely: "But the road to exploration is difficult, and the New York government is willing to broadcast a special fund to support your research, I wonder what you think?" ”
One thing to say, although Pierce is a hydra, he can lurk in S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, and finally the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and he definitely has two brushes, not to mention anything else, this mind alone is far beyond the boiled egg. In the face of the ancient one of unknown origin, Pierce will not hesitate to win over the heavy money, but what about the boiled eggs? Uncle Black, who was in the late stage of paranoia, was definitely the first to send agents to the door, beat him first, and then threw him into the prison for interrogation slowly.
Under this style of acting, can boiled eggs win people's hearts? It was completely natural that he was robbed of his love by Pierce.
In the face of the olive branch thrown by Pierce, Gu Yi was silent with a smile, and his refusal was overflowing.
As a thousand-year-old monster, Gu Yi has seen countless politicians, and she knows exactly what Pierce is thinking. To be honest, Gu Yi is not optimistic about Pierce, because his success is mixed with too much luck, and in terms of hard power, Pierce is not qualified to be independent at all. In Gu Yi's eyes, Pierce is a big ship with beautiful appearance, but the actual cabin is leaking, and it may sink at any time, and mixing with him is completely self-defeating.
What's more, I was too lazy to take care of Alexander, King Arthur, and Napoleon back then, what kind of thing are you Pierce, and you are worthy of recruiting me?
Gu Yi is the strongest on the earth, humble on the surface, that is self-cultivation, and his bones are full of pride. Seeing Gu Yi's refusal, Pierce didn't care, and still said sincerely: "Since you have your own plans, I won't force it, but whenever you need help, please feel free to speak." ”
This magnanimity of attaching importance to virtue is a bit of a legacy of the sages, Gu Yi nodded, and it was an answer.
At this time, the mages also recovered from their shock, and an old man hurriedly shouted, "Supreme ......"
"I'm no longer a Supreme Mage, so you don't have to use honorific titles on me anymore." Gu Yi interrupted the old man and said lightly: "I remember that you joined a government department called the Fire Transmission Department, and this respect should be left to your boss." ”
As soon as these words came out, the mages all looked at the fireproof girl.
The firefighter shrugged: "I have given Tony Stark the position of the head of the fire department, but he doesn't seem to have much leadership skills, and he has been vacated by his employees in just a few months." But everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force it, since you want to go it alone, for the sake of the master's face, I won't blame the previous things. But I built the Fire Transmission Department single-handedly, and it contains my personal ideas and expectations, so I can't give it to you, so I'll take back this name and build a new one yourself. ”
These words seem to be an understatement, but in fact, they hit the soft underbelly of the mages. The young mages may not know, but the old mages in high positions are like Spiegel in their hearts.
Why is magic so popular? It's not because there is state support behind it.
Why does the state support it? It's not because of the face of the fireproof woman.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Fire Girl that the United Nations will approve the establishment of the Fire Transmission Department, and it is precisely because of the establishment of the Fire Transmission Department that the mages have a steady stream of funds for the promotion and research of magic.
After all, this is a world of capital, and if you don't have money, you can't even elect the president of the United States, so what do you use to promote magic, hand out flyers on the streets, and put big-character posters on the walls?
And most importantly, the official recognition of magic, does not say that magic is a bull ghost snake god, and does not tie the mages to the pillar to make BBQ.
Why is that? Or is it because of the existence of the fire prevention girl.
Through light therapy, the fireproof girl implanted the seeds of magic in the top of the great beauty, and by acting as a thug and taking the initiative to accept management, in exchange for the trust of the government, it is this series of measures that allows magic to spread openly, because magic is on the side of the ruler, it is to help the ruler maintain law and order, and it is to help them protect the chair under their buttocks.
It's like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposing Confucianism, why did he do this? Because Confucianism is conducive to rule, not like the Legalists, who shout every day that the Son of Heaven is guilty of breaking the law and the common people, nor is it like the Taoists who always talk about the rule of inaction.
If the Son of Heaven were the same as the common people, the emperor would still be a fart.
If it is ruled by inaction, the government will be a mess.
The same is true of the Ministry of Fire, it is a department for magical crimes, but it is not up to the government to decide whether to commit a crime or not, so to a certain extent, the real role of the Ministry of Fire is to "monopolize magic", which is a department that collects magic weapons from the people and uses them exclusively for the ruling class.
Just like Qin Shi Huang, who confiscated the twelve gold casters in the world, in order to monopolize and maintain his rule.
But what about now?
The mages of the Fire Transmission Department actually rebelled with Pierce, which undoubtedly had to do with the slapping of the United Nations and the great beautiful face. We raised you, and you actually backstabbed me in turn, you are killing yourself!
The three major Templar mages have been passed down for many years and have their own ways in the political world, but since they got mixed up with Pierce, those ways have all sent warnings to stop this "stupid behavior" immediately, but the mages refused, because Pierce gave too much.
Pierce promised not only financial support to the mages, but more importantly, status. It is not an employee of a government department, but a real and recognized "mage status" by the government. This can be regarded as scratching the itch of the mages, they ask themselves to protect the earth for many years, hard work, at least the level of erecting monuments and building temples, but as a result, they can only nest in a place where no one cares, claiming to be ordinary people, saying that they are admired by tens of thousands of people, and they can't even blow it, what a grievance this is!
So as soon as Pierce threw out the olive branch, they immediately agreed after a little discussion. They don't do this to show how great they are, they just want to show the world that what they have lost will be regained!
What did the mages lose?
They think of it as dignity and glory.
So for the sake of glory, they forsaken the glory and rebelled shamelessly.
After all, they are the disciples of the Ancient One, and they have the idea of inheriting the same line as the Ancient One.
They don't want to be tool men anymore.
This is the reason for the betrayal of the mages, among whom there is naivety, arrogance, and more childishness. Some of these mages opposed this decision, because they clearly understood that the success of the Fire Transmission Department was entirely based on the personal charm and political methods of the Fire Prevention Girl, and although the mages had been passed down for several years, none of them could compare to the Fire Prevention Girl's "Dinghai Shen Needle".
Therefore, since the mages got on the broken ship of Pierce, the United Nations terminated its financial support for the Fire Ministry, and after the fire prevention girl announced that she would withdraw the name of the Fire Ministry, it is conceivable that the mages will immediately face political suppression.
Even the government didn't have to make a big deal out of it, just ordering universities to send a few research reports saying that studying magic causes cancer, which was enough to send the mages to the point of no return.
After all, the world of capital is the world of public opinion, and whoever controls public opinion controls everything.
The mages who had lived in seclusion for many years were accustomed to silence, and under the offensive of public opinion, they were powerless to fight back.
So now they are facing two paths, one is that the prodigal son will turn back, break with Pierce, admit his mistakes to the fire girl, return to the system, and continue to be a tool man; And the other is to dispel all luck psychology, and go completely to the dark with Pierce, and strive to fight for a future.
Several old mages glanced at each other and quickly made their choice.
For the sake of glory, they decided to fight.
Scholars, face is always more important than life. What's more, they are already old, even if they are soft, they don't have a few years to live, rather than losing face, it is better to give it a go, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle!
"Mages, open the portal and support the Sky Carrier!"
The old mages gave the order, which made the ancient one sigh uncontrollably.
She knew that the mages had taken another step towards the abyss. Emotionally, she can understand the old mage's decision to kill without a face, because she is also a master who wants to die without a face, otherwise she would not commit suicide after revealing the secret. But intellectually, she also knew that this decision would not only cost the old mages their lives, but also countless young lives with them.
"Humanity, never change." Gu Yi let out a low sigh, and then asked the fire girl, "Do you need me to stop them?" ”
The firefighter shook her head: "It's not necessary. ”
Gu Yi glanced at the sky: "The combat effectiveness of the mages is not weak, if they are allowed to board the sky aircraft carrier, the Aegis team may not be able to resist it." Aren't they your people? ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't mine, at least not yet." The fireproof woman smiled and said, "And don't worry, this battle can't be fought today." ”
"Why?"
"Because ......"
Before the fireproof girl finished speaking, she saw a colorful pillar of light falling from the sky, and Brother Hammer and Sifu were dressed in costumes and led several guards Shi Shiran out.
"I am the son of Odin, Prince of Asgard, Thor, the god of thunder. Today, I am sent by the order of the King of God to send Midgard, this is the letter of state, and you will take it personally. Brother Hammer took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and shook it, and then said with a big grin: "What about the wine banquet, why don't you start yet?" ”
Sif covered her face, and the earthlings present were all stunned.
A third type of contact in public?
That's exciting, isn't it?
