The night shrouded Liberty Island like a thin veil, and after half a day of negotiations, the two sides did not even finalize a preliminary intention to reach a consensus.

Neither side showed any eagerness.

The White House wanted to convene a peace summit — and the president and his cabinet chose to agree and support Luke's proposal after careful consideration.

Atlantis is like a giant whale lying on the beach, temporarily incapacitated.

But relying on the strength and appetite of one person alone cannot eat it away.

At this time, it is necessary to call a group of "temporary allies".

As for Atlantis, they didn't have anything else in mind.

I just want to drag, hard drag!

Bad things are destined to happen, but it's better to be a little late than to arrive early!

As the night deepened, the hour hand on the wall pointed to ten o'clock.

Luke, who had just finished an after-dinner exercise from the Bustek Building on Manhattan Island, flew straight back to his hotel room on Liberty Island.

The suite he stayed in had a great view, right in front of the Immigration Museum, and the curtains were open to the standing Statue of Liberty.

"Establish diplomacy, exchange of technology, trade in resources...... This is basically the bottom line of negotiations on the White House side, and it is also a necessary condition for bringing those countries to the alliance front. ”

Luke looked out at the huge statue under the night sky, the torch he held glowing like a lighthouse.

It was a gift from the French to the centennial of American independence, which later became a landmark in New York.

In those years when immigration waves were in full swing, every time a passenger ship sailed into the port of the Hudson River, someone would always see the Statue of Liberty and shout Amerika!

Then the whole ship erupted in cheers, and the sound boiled.

At that time, people chased the so-called dream of freedom and set foot on the North American continent.

But for most of them, the so-called "American dream" is just a lie.

In the United States during the Great Depression, there were voices of broken dreams everywhere.

Even jumping off the rooftop has to be ranked, and if you choose a landmark building or a Wall Street securities company, you may have to wait an hour or two before it is your turn.

"Hopefully Namor will be a little more stupid than I thought, ready to use planetary-class weapons and carry out an exterminating strike - a decision that will be enough to lead Atlantis into the abyss."

As soon as he unbuttoned the first two buttons of his white shirt, Luke stopped what he was doing.

Although he hadn't started to learn magic yet, with the basic attributes given by the template, he was keenly aware of the fluctuations in space.

Sure enough, I saw the sparks of magic jump and flicker, opening a circular passage.

"Ancient One Mage, can you knock on the door next time and come in? If I'm doing some kind of exercise and suddenly someone bumps into me, it's likely to leave a psychological shadow. ”

Luke stared at the shiny bald head, and tactfully reminded the other party that they should pay attention to basic politeness.

"Uh......"

Gu Yi frowned slightly, since she became a mage, she hadn't walked through the main gate for I don't know how many years.

"Sorry, do it all over again."

The Supreme Mage pondered for a moment, decided that Luke had a point, and turned to walk into the circular passage where the magical sparks pulsed.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

This Supreme Mage is really upright.

When he opened the door, he was dressed in a suit and his head was shining.

"I've consulted with several mages, and they all say it's more formal."

Gu Yi loosened his elastic tie and smiled, "In addition, I will make sure in advance every time I come here to ensure that you are idle." ”

So, you often use the "window of the world" to spy on my private life?

Luke resisted his inner desire to complain, and then went to Kama Taj, who was absolutely determined to study magic hard and block out the invisible sight of the Supreme Mage.

Otherwise, when you are playing a multi-person exercise, you may feel instantly weak when you think of someone watching from the sidelines.

He doesn't have the bad habit of revealing his body!

"Major General Cavill, you don't have to worry about that."

As if guessing Luke's thoughts, the Ancient One explained, "Supreme Mages don't have the bad habit of voyeurism, and we all take the initiative to cast a special spell on the 'Window of the World'. ”

"Even if you accidentally glimpse your private life, the picture will immediately become blurred, which is the call of the Trinity Vishan Emperor to respond to an unspeakable being in multiple dimensions."

What the?

Will you still code?

Luke was shocked.

He can only say one thing, he is worthy of the Supreme Mage!

Ending this boring topic, Luke sat down on the soft sofa and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, we just met in the morning, right?" Is there anything you can't make a phone call about? ”

He pulled out a bottle of red wine that he had put in the ice bucket and poured himself a glass.

Then he looked up at Gu Yi, and the other party shook his head, indicating that he had no habit of drinking.

"Even the mages in the sanctuary must learn to keep pace with the times, and sooner or later face-to-face communication and conversation will be abandoned by the times, I personally recommend Kama Taj and the three sanctuaries, and you can purchase a batch of mobile phones, the latest products of Skynet."

"Although the bad signal may be a difficult problem to solve in the short term, it should have little effect on the mages of the New York Sanctuary. Trust me, it's definitely a must-have for a home trip! ”

Gu Yi glanced at the stupid black mobile phone on the table, and his heart did not fluctuate.

She expressed little interest in Luke's unconvincing sales pitch.

Often, mages prefer to keep pets such as crows, white doves, or wolf spirits as a way to communicate their messages.

What's more, with the Hanging Ring in hand, even from the other side of the world, running to New York is only a moment to cast a spell.

Quite convenient!

I don't know how much I will save on airfares and round-trip fares over the course of a year.

"Mr. Major General, in the opinion of the mage, the secrecy of electronic products is not high enough, and the risk of leakage is very high."

The Ancient One explained.

Personally, she's interested in novelty gadgets, such as radios and televisions.

I also often use the "Window of the World" to watch movies and operas for free - the kind that is seriously released.

The development of science and technology can change people's lives far more than magic.

"Is there anything worth a visit to the Ancient One—"

Luke, who failed in the sales pitch, took a sip of red wine and said softly, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Namor?" ”

Gu Yi, who was wearing a suit, sat opposite Mr. Major General.

The Supreme Mage's own appearance tends to be neutral, and after changing into modern men's clothes, it is even more difficult to distinguish the gender.

"Probably because of the spiritual guidance, Namor was moved by Sebastian Shaw."

Gu Yi said lightly.

Since the brainless and unhappy duo had the idea of activating the continental shelf oscillator, she listed them as dangerous elements on the key monitoring list.

The two guys hid in the fortress and talked secretly, thinking they could hide it from everyone.

Without knowing it, the god took out the planetary-level weapon.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Mage had already written them down in a small notebook.

"Namor!"

Luke clapped his hands and exclaimed, the level of this product's crotch pull has never disappointed.

"So what's next? Will S.H.I.E.L.D. intervene to stop the two madmen's plans to destroy the world, or will it be handed over to the Three Sanctuaries for you to deal with? ”

Gu Yi shook his head and vetoed the latter.

Kama Taj and the Three Sanctuaries are reluctant to expose their existence unless it is necessary.

"Major General Cavill, there is no need to be gracious and humble at this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't wait to get on the scene, and you-just took advantage of the momentum to kick Namor off the throne of king."

Gu Yi had already seen through the other party's thoughts and teased: "Everything is in your plan!" Could it be that Mr. Major General is really willing to give credit to the Three Sanctuaries of Spiritual Excellence? ”

"Ahem! I...... It's just a habitual question, which is basic politeness. ”

Luke cleared his throat and diverted the subject: "Presumably the Ancient One Mage knows where they are, please tell me directly." ”
