Chapter 0375: On the Eve of the Great War
The three-day Earth-Moon Summit (EMCC) at the Aegis Lunar Headquarters has been in its third day so far and is finally coming to an end, and they have probably reached an ideal outcome that is largely satisfactory to all parties.
During these three days, they basically discussed all the preparations and countermeasures before Thanos' imminent arrival, and also succeeded in getting the various forces to let go of their prejudices and hostility with each other, and asked them to send their most elite fighters to the Lunar Steel Bear Base to stand by, prepare to form a temporary Earth Defenders Alliance, and so on.
"Gentlemen, ladies ......"
"After three days of unremitting efforts, we have put aside our previous contradictions or differences and reached an agreement on the upcoming alien invasion! So today, we will take that crucial step for the common home of our earthlings and to defend our earth: to create a coalition of defenders of our earth! ”
On the podium, Bear Shield Nick? Director Fury is making his final remarks before the end of the meeting, and now that all parties have finished talking, the next step is the intense preparation stage.
In the next three days, they will receive individuals with strong individual strength, or elite teams led by leaders, from X-Men, Inhumans, Mutant Brotherhoods, and even Earth Special Organizations such as the Heavenly Sword Bureau. In order to form a temporary alliance of Earth Defenders, and assemble a top team with rapid reflexes to deal with Thanos or his members who may appear at any time.
"Due to the tight schedule, I won't talk about the extra words here! So, let's follow the results we have discussed as soon as possible! I now declare that this meeting of ours is officially closed......"
It's all said the first two days, so, now Nick? Fury no longer intended to continue to be verbose, and after making a brief meeting speech, he directly announced the dismissal of the meeting.
Seeing that the delegates who were frowning, nervous, or other serious about their affairs began to leave one after another, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Anyway, Nick? Fury himself originally didn't have much to resist the imminent invasion of aliens, but now, seeing so many powerful forces or organizations actively participating in the preparation for the war, he had a little more hope for victory, as long as he worked together, he believed that he would always get a good result.
"Nick? Fury ......"
"Now that the matter has been discussed, I think you should also want to help our nine X-Men and Fantastic Four get back to strength, right? Now that they are the great enemy, I think that they will definitely be a powerful help when they recover their strength! ”
Professor X Charles did not follow the other participants to leave in a hurry, but directly controlled his automatic wheelchair and walked towards the senior management of the Bear Shield Bureau near the podium.
Then, at the right time, he took advantage of this wonderful opportunity to make this request again!
After all, whether it is the Fantastic Four or the nine X-Men under his command, they are really a group of powerful combat forces, and it would be a pity if they were abolished like this.
"I'm sorry, Charles!"
"I'd love to do that, and you're right, but ...... You should also know that although I am nominally the director of the Bear Shield Bureau, that little girl, Anne, she is the majority shareholder of the Bear Shield Bureau! Neither from the position nor from the authority, I do not have any right to order her! ”
In fact, when the current Bear Shield Bureau needs the little girl Anne to help, Nick? Fury assigns either Coulson or Melinda to use the emotional card to persuade the other party to make a move in order to get help.
But even so, that little girl often comes out of her temperament!
For example, this important memory, she was a shareholder of the Bear Shield Bureau, plus the highest authority and a powerful magical advisor, and at the same time the holder of the Infinity Stones, but what happened? When Coulson informed her that she was going to have a meeting, the little kid refused on the spot! What else did she say that she was very busy, and she was busy defeating a certain big demon king......
Did she really think that Bear Shield didn't know that she was playing a video game in a game room in New York? And the so-called big demon king in her mouth is probably just the last **oss of a certain game, right? Of course, they will definitely not expose such a small thing.
“……”
Frowning, Professor X vs. Nick? Fury's statement is a little dissatisfied, it's all at this time, what's the point of the other party still dragging this matter? Could it be that the Bear Shield Bureau still can't tell the priorities of things?
"So be it, Professor Charles......"
"Next year, we will start a magic school on the moon with the mages of Kama Taj, and by then, I can give you a certain number of students to make up for the regret of your nine X-Men, what do you think of this proposal?"
Little girl Anne is not in his own hands, and before Nick? Fury promised to help the other party restore the strength of those X-Men as much as possible, so, after some consideration, he could only grit his teeth and give such a blank check.
Anyway, the matter of the magic school will be after next year, and if by then, the earthlings have not been conquered or exterminated by the forces of the alien Thanos, then he will definitely honor the matter of the magic school.
"Well, let's do this for the time being......"
Nodding, Charles didn't say anything, just turned the direction of the automatic wheelchair and walked out the door with the delegates who had dismissed.
They'll have their last free lunar lunch here, and then they'll be back on Earth on a spaceship to get ready for the big battle ahead.
"Excuse me, Nick? Director Fury! I'd like to ask you right now for access to a fast spaceship, and I'm probably going to go on a trip with the rocket right away, and we're going to a galaxy far away. ”
When only the members of the Bear Shield Bureau and the Avengers were left in the conference room, Thor and the Rocket Raccoon headed towards the silent Nick? Fury came over and asked for a spaceship and left Earth as soon as possible.
"Thor...... Thanos' gang will come to Earth at any time, why did you choose to leave now? ”
The other party's behavior made Nick? Fury felt a little puzzled, if he didn't know the character of this Thor, the god of thunder, unlike the kind of person who escaped, he almost thought that the other party wanted to hide away before the enemy came!
"Actually, it's not complicated, it's just that the hammer I used to use before was crushed by my sister Hela...... So, I'm going to take a trip to Vanidri to reforge a new one! ”
This was a private agreement between Thor and Rocket Raccoon two days ago between boring meetings, and he needed Rocket's superb spaceship piloting ability to take him to the place where he could forge artifacts.
"Vanidri...... What kind of place is that? ”
Names like these strange alien planets, Nick? Fury, a turtle who has never left the solar system, will definitely not know.
"It was a magical place, with a group of dwarves living on the Star Ring...... They can craft almost all the powerful weapons in the universe! Of course, I'm talking about knives, swords, axes, and hammers...... That's where my hammer was made, so I have to go again! ”
"I must have a hammer before my lightning power can be used to the fullest!"
Thor is definitely going to Vaniedri, although he doesn't need a hammer to unleash his lightning ability now, but if he has a warhammer at hand, then his strength can be increased by at least a few cuts!
This matter is very important, with the hammer, when he faces the rumored Thanos in the future, he will be more sure of defeating the other party.
"Okay...... I agreed, and I hope you can go and get back soon......"
Nodding, Nick? Fury didn't make any more troubles, and directly nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
After all, it's really not like this Thor doesn't have the right weapon, and it's not like it, think about it, how can Uncle Hammer not have a hammer, right? Of course, isn't that Nick? Fury's words for the image of Uncle Hammer came from the mouth of a little girl, just like the nickname of his black-haired one-eyed dragon......
————
While the top leaders of the major forces or organizations on the moon were in full swing preparing for the pre-war events, Proud Anne was in a park in New York, holding a large paper bag of doughnuts, nibbling on it herself, while feeding the huge carp in the lake that were said to have invaded from Asia.
It is said that they have now dominated almost a considerable part of the waters of North America, becoming the dominant ones in the water!
In the lakes of this park alone, as far as Anne could see, they were fat and thick, some of them were at least 120 centimeters long, and their weight might reach 60 or 70 kilograms, so that Anne's saliva was going to water.
At this time, her mind is full of sweet and sour carp, steamed carp, braised carp, spicy carp and so on......
She kept wondering if the chefs would make her a delicious meal if she grabbed a giant carp or two and took it to a Chinese restaurant. And the carp she ate in the restaurant a few days ago was only forty or fifty centimeters long, and then it should weigh less than two or three kilograms, where could they compare to these big fish in this lake?
Tibbs ...... You say, how spicy are they, so fat...... Is it good or not? ”(?????)
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should try it, and soon made up her mind: there were still too many people here, and she needed to wait until there were a little fewer people, and then try to catch the biggest one, and go directly to the chefs in those Chinese restaurants to make herself a super big sweet and sour carp?
Anyway, catching fish or something is too simple for Anne, whether it's catching it directly with the hands of a simple mage, or using a rough flame blasting technique to blow it up, it's actually not a thing!
(…… )
(You can eat it if you want, but it is recommended that you grab a slightly smaller one, and those big ones of one or two meters, even if they are actually brought to the restaurant, they may not have such a big pot.) So, you still don't expect too much.
- As far as Tiebs knows, whether it is flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, or swimming in the water, even if it is as strong as a dragon that destroys a city and destroys a country, or as weak as a frog that has no power to restrain a chicken, it has all been eaten by this little master of his own! So, now it's just eating a carp or something, it's not too ordinary. )
"But...... I still think the big ones might be better......"
In Little Annie's own concept, big is good, fierce is beautiful, and big and fierce is the best.
Therefore, if you really want to eat these fish, it must be to catch the biggest and fiercest carp king in this lake! As for those small ones, she has long been tired of eating them in Chinese restaurants, not only do they not have much meat, they don't have chewy, but they also have a lot of thorns, except for the taste, they are simply useless!
(…… )
(Whatever you want, as long as you're happy...... Oh, and just a reminder, there's a weirdo over there staring at you all the time! Now, it seems that he is instructing his two daughters to come over and say hello to you?
- Tibbs had noticed the family of three in the shade of the trees over there, two of them were little brown-haired twin girls, about the same age as their young masters, and then, the man who had instructed them to come over seemed to be their father? Anyway, that's how Tiebs had been called before! It's just that because the other party doesn't have the slightest combat power and obvious hostility, it has not paid attention to it. )
"Hello, sister, can we sit with you?"
"We are twins, my name is Jenny is my sister and her name is Emma my sister, may I ask what is your name?"
The two little girls with brown hair and pupils, regardless of whether Anne agreed or not, sat generously on either side of Anne's small wooden chairs on the shore of the lake, and then, following Anne's example, took the bread they had left over from the rest of the vacation, and began to feed the golden-red carp that were tumbling up and grabbing in the lake.
"Oh...... You can call me Anne......"
Anne blinked, first at the little girl on her left, then at the ...... on her right. Their hairstyles, faces, and even the clothes they wore were exactly the same, and even the way they laughed was almost the same, so she really couldn't easily tell from their appearances.
Sure enough, twins or something, in fact, the most annoying!
"Sister Anne, we just found out that you have been staring at these big carps in the water, why is that?"
From the moment the two of them and their father's family of three had begun to enjoy their lunch in the shade of the meadow by the lake, they had noticed that the young lady named Anne had been staring at the big fish in the lake, and seemed to be muttering something to herself.
Then, I don't know why, their father specially asked them to come here, it seems that he wants to get to know this young lady and he doesn't dare to come easily?
"That's because...... I want to eat them! Or at the very least, eat one of them too? ”
Anne didn't mind saying what she really thought, the reason why she had been feeding here all this time was just to pick out the biggest and fiercest one, and then mark it. She had already thought about it, and when there were fewer tourists here, she would cast a spell directly, catch it and run!
And then, her dinner for the night was over! This thing, just thinking about it, she thinks it's exciting and fun! Anyway, no one should take care of the fish here, and there are so many of them, she shouldn't be too noticeable if she catches one or two or something.
“……”
“……”
Jenny and Emma, the twin sisters, couldn't help but look at each other in surprise after hearing this, they had just thought that this young lady named Annie was here to feed these golden carp because they thought they were beautiful! But who wants to ...... That's how it turned out......
"However, I remember that the teachers used to say it...... The water in these freshwater lakes or other rivers is not clean, and these fish, they are not edible......"
Jenny, the twins' older sister, thought for a little hesitation and quickly said what she knew. In fact, the people of their United States rarely have the habit of eating freshwater fish and shrimp, and generally eat from the sea!
"Jenny, you're right!"
"You have to remember: these Asian carp, they really can't eat them! In fact, most of these freshwater fish grown in the wild in North America are not edible! ”
At this time, the father of the two twin sisters finally came over, and he first smiled kindly at the little girl that his daughters had just knew, and then went on to explain:
"In this decaying country, in the early days of industrialization, many freshwater waters in North America were heavily polluted by heavy metal pollutants emitted from factories!"
"Those pollutants are starting to settle in the riverbed...... Although today we can see that the water in the lake and other rivers is very clean, the freshwater fish that live in it are generally not edible...... Because, the chemicals that were emitted in the past have now settled into the water and soil! There are still a lot of chemical pollutants under the riverbed or the bottom of the lake, and most of the freshwater fish that live here have been severely polluted in their meat......
As an adult, he certainly knows the general reason why freshwater fish here in North America are inedible and overflowing.
In fact, the federal government spends at least hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars a year to control the population of Asian carp, which is overrun and encroaches on other fish species!
Whether it's hand-fishing, chemical poisoning, electric discharge, or frying fish...... In the end, they were never able to control their proliferation...... These amazing Asian carp, in a sense, have managed to conquer most of the waters of this part of North America.
"That's it...... What a shame......"
In fact, pollution or something, for the existence of an advanced life form with a physique like Anne, it is not a problem at all! However, if you don't know it before, forget it, but now that you know it, you can't eat it.
"Your name is Annie, right? It's been almost two months, and I haven't had time to thank you properly! ”
At this time, the man who had finished the explanation suddenly walked up to Anne and bowed respectfully to Anne, which could not help but startle Anne, and also startled the two twin daughters in front of him.
"Huh? What are you doing, I don't seem to know you, do I? ”
After carefully looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing a decent casual suit, with a cleanly shaved beard and neatly haircut, Anne rang for a while, but she still had no impression at all! Anyway, she didn't remember seeing this weird guy in front of her.
"My name is Henry......"
"I don't know if you remember? You gave me this thing that night more than two months ago, in front of that little park in Washington? ”
Seeing the little girl's bewildered face, Henry quickly took out a shiny gold coin from his pocket, spread his palm, and sent it to the other party.
On this gold coin, it is printed with a pattern and strange words that Henry did not recognize, and most importantly: how can it not be lost! No matter how much he tried to throw it away, it would always reappear in front of his eyes in all sorts of weird ways......
Think about it at the beginning, after many attempts to no avail, he finally accepted his fate and had to hold it.
Then, amazing things started to happen one after another......
His own luck turned out to be inexplicably better! First, a certain inexplicable drunk little rich man passed by and met him on a park bench and hugged him for a night, and then, on the third day, the other party arranged a simple job for him, although the weekly salary was still very low, barely enough for him to eat and drink, but it was much better than being a homeless man.
Soon after, with the arrival of the World Cup, Henry didn't know whether to be angry or wanted to continue to trample on himself, so he casually used all his accumulated salary to bet on a few high-level strings of the World Cup, but the result was ......
Now, Henry, inexplicably, has become richer than his rich boss!
So, after becoming a rich man, he naturally contacted a well-known law firm and sued a certain ex-wife who abandoned him and ran to a foreign country with a little white face, and finally, in a short period of time, he successfully won custody of his two twin daughters!
Although he himself has a lot of bad records, such as alcoholism, vagrancy, etc., but in this country that only recognizes dollars, you can do whatever you want if you have money!
You know, lawyers like the rich and the nouveau riche like Henry! And something as simple as fighting for custody was completely lost to the judges and juries under the strategy of green money......
Because of this, Henry is now able to travel here with his two precious daughters, and happens to meet the little girl who gave him lucky gold coins at that time. If he hadn't kindly wanted to provide some help to the powerful little girl of the Avengers in front of him, I'm afraid he would still be wandering or dying in a corner now, right?
"Oh! You're talking about this coin...... I do seem to be a little impressed. ”
Nodding, that's right! The first time she saw this gold coin, and felt the magic aura and fluctuations coming from above, Anne knew that this thing was indeed a small enchantment work from hers:
By Annie? A lucky gold coin enchanted by Hasta!
[Dark Gold Quality]
This item is soulbound and cannot be dropped or destroyed!
Permanently gain +5 Luck and are immune to all negative cursed states!
"Here's the thing, after owning this coin, my luck seems to have gotten a lot better lately, and I've got a lot of things back that no longer belong to me...... So, I think it's time for things to return to their rightful owners. ”
"I feel that an amazing object like this, it shouldn't be owned by me alone...... Perhaps, it should go to help those who are more deserving of its help. ”
After saying that, Henry took a deep breath and respectfully handed the gold coin to the little girl again, hoping that the other party would be able to take back the item, otherwise, he would not be able to get rid of it easily.
Henry felt that to be a man was to be content!
Look at it now, he himself has obtained money that he can't spend all his life, and then he has brought back two lovely little daughters, and in this life, he has nothing to pursue! He thinks it's good right now, and he doesn't expect more.
(Hah!) This unlucky thing, his own luck value is a minus one, and if it weren't for this gold coin, everything he has now would definitely not be able to keep it for a month! Or...... One week?
- Seeing that this stupid earthling was stupid enough to send such a good thing back, Tiebs laughed disdainfully. If it is replaced by this little master of it, some good things in hand, do you want her to send them back? That's just wishful thinking, don't even think about it! )
“……”
Anne did not take back the gold coin, which was of little value to her, but looked the strange uncle up and down again curiously.
Sure enough, the other party is indeed just like Tibbs said, and his own luck value is not known why it is constant to a negative value, and it seems that it will never change? You must know that under normal circumstances, a person's lucky attributes will fluctuate randomly, and even Anne herself is constantly changing.
It's just that her own strength is strong, and her luck is maintained at a relatively high value. After all, there weren't many things left that could make her unlucky.
"The gold has already been given to you, so I won't take it back!"
"By the way, I'll also send you a message for free: In the near future, you'd better not play in a big city like here, maybe if you're not careful, you'll die!"
Since the big carp flooding in the lake in front of him can't be eaten, and he has met someone who knows him here, so in desperation, Anne threw all the doughnuts into the lake to feed the fish in one go, and then directly got up, carried her little bear, and turned her head along the stone embankment by the lake to walk into the distance.
“……”
Looking at the gold coins in his hand and the empty fast food paper bag, Henry frowned and thought about it, and when he suddenly realized something, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his two daughters to turn around and leave!
"Dad, where are we going?"
Seeing her father's face become so solemn and scary, the twins' sister Jenny was a little puzzled, she didn't know what happened to make the other party change so much.
"Good boys, my little darlings."
"Before, I bought a vineyard farm in the middle of nowhere, in a beautiful place, with great air and scenery, and several Dutch warmbloods, which you will love. So, I've decided that we'll go to the farm now and stay until your vacation is over. ”
The real reason, Henry will certainly not tell his two precious daughters, he will not impose the truth and cruelty on their childish minds! Now that he has the strength to shelter and take care of them, he will definitely try to do everything well!
"Still have horses? That's awesome! Emma, what do you think? ”
"That's a cool idea! Jenny, let's hurry up, I can't wait! "Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
