Chapter 0372: The Thriving Bear Shield Bureau
Today, here at the headquarters base of the Bear Shield Bureau, a group of strange guests were unexpectedly welcomed.
In fact, they didn't send a spaceship to pick them up by the Aegis Bureau themselves, and they didn't come by the backward shuttle rocket landing module of the earth, but the other party opened a rotating space door by himself, and then walked over directly!
At the beginning, this strange situation frightened the marines on duty.
Then, it wasn't until the order from their superiors was conveyed that they let go of the three strange mages who suddenly emerged from the magical portal, in confusion and surprise.
Originally, mages or portals or something, the agents of the Bear Shield Bureau have not never seen them, after all, the little girl who often appears here at the headquarters often gives them a big change or disappears directly or something, and they have long been surprised.
However, this is the first time that many of them have seen such a strange portal that rotates and conjures up in front of them.
"Everything you want from the Bear Shield Bureau is here."
"These, and these! Except for some extremely dangerous knowledge, which we must not give to you, some other more basic ones have been copied to you according to the agreement! ”
Among the three mages, the first one pointed directly to the several large baskets of books on the ground. The books are in very new condition, and it is clear that they have just been copied, as the other party said!
I just don't know, is it printed or copied with magic?
"Now, can we take Stephen?"
The person who spoke was Wang, the caretaker of the Kama Taj Library of the Guardian Monk's Ashram, a slightly chubby guy.
"Sorry, please wait patiently!"
"Our Bear Shield Bureau's magical advisor will be here soon, and as long as she's sure there's nothing wrong, we'll let you go and continue to work closely together!"
Now, the boss of the Bear Shield Bureau, Director Nick Fury, Hill, Coulson and other senior agents are here, looking at the brand-new books in this cabin, they still think that the other party will hand them a hard disk or a CD or something.
This is what was agreed upon during the previous agreement negotiations: the Mage Retreat Kama Taj and the Bear Shield Bureau will carry out a comprehensive cooperation, and provide some necessary mage basic knowledge to the Bear Shield Bureau, and the two sides will open a new magic school on the moon, with S.H.I.E.L.D. out of the field, Kama Taj out of the spell instructor, and so on......
Under normal circumstances, this kind of loss-making thing Kama Taj would definitely not do!
However, after their leader, Doctor Strange, was arrested, and after the Bear Shield Bureau threatened to ban their mage hermitage, they finally reluctantly agreed to such an outrageous condition of cooperating...... In exchange, it is actually the release of Doctor Strange Stephen Strange and the full cooperation between the two sides.
"How long will it take? You may not know that our temple cannot be left unguarded for a long time, or something serious will happen if you are not careful! ”
As a librarian, the king is a little impatient, and Kama Taj's strength has been declining since the Supreme Mage Ancient One was killed by that Dormammu's lackey Casillas! Coupled with the fact that now, after even the most promising and talented Doctor Strange, Stephen, has been captured and stripped of his mana, they really don't have much courage to resist the Bear Shield Bureau, which has a powerful mage.
Not long ago, the king also paid a special visit to Baron Mordo, who had been living in seclusion but was stronger than him, and finally, after discussion, they agreed that it would be a good choice to cooperate with the declining mage hermitage Kama Taj and the Bear Shield Bureau, which is also committed to protecting the earth and is as powerful as the sky.
"Soon, don't worry, I'll push her again...... Uh, well, look! She's already here! ”
Seeing that the other party was indeed in a hurry, Coulson reached out and took out the communicator, but before he could make contact, he saw a little girl running out of a blue portal that suddenly opened.
This kind of portal without warning scared the mages of Kama Taj a lot at once! They could see that it was fundamentally different from their spatial gate, and it could even be said that it was not the same system at all.
"You're so annoying...... Please hurry up and tell me something, I've been very busy lately! ”
As soon as she emerged from the portal, Anne was the first to complain!
She felt that Uncle Coulson and the others must have developed the so-called bad habit of 'finding Annie if there is something', and it was so annoying that they wanted to come to her no matter what they had or how big or small things were, and she felt that she was running out of free time!
(…… )
(Little Master...... You haven't done anything in days......
- Anyway, Tibbs knew that after returning from Asgard, until now, many days had passed, and this little master of it, she had never done anything serious. )
“……”
"Stephen, she's the mighty little girl mage? She alone killed the one of the fourteen of you? ”
Looking at the little girl who had just come out of the portal and started to play with the teddy bear's head as soon as she complained twice, the librarian Wang turned his head and quietly asked Stephen Strange, who was standing next to him and waiting to be brought back by him.
In this regard, he expressed his doubts, and it was also a little incredible!
That little girl, she looks like she's only eight or nine years old, right? She doesn't seem to have any strong mana fluctuations on her body, but why can't Stephen Strange and the combination of the nine elite X-Men and the Fantastic Four beat her?
"The ......"
In fact, only five died at her hands at first...... And then, the rest of us were all killed by Jean Grey who broke out, and finally, she killed Jean Grey? Eventually, she resurrected us...... Anyway, the general situation at that time should be like this! ”
At that time, more than half of them died in the internal strife, although this thing is a little difficult to talk about, but the truth is so, it is very cruel!
"And she...... How strong is it? ”
The librarian, in his disbelief, leaned over to Stephen again.
"I don't know...... But I might have been more willing to fight that Dormammu......"
"Is it really that powerful?"
“……”
While the two Kama Taj mages were whispering, Coulson was flatteringly welcoming the little girl to the baskets of spell books.
"Annie, come and see, are there any problems with these magic books?"
These books are very important to the Bear Shield Bureau, and they are related to their next big plan, so they have to be cautious. For this reason, they also pleaded many times to bring in their most powerful magic advisor to check on it, and they must do this thing well.
"Hmm......"
"It's a useless spell...... A trick that only apprentices play...... The trick of stealing chickens and dogs...... Messy stuff...... And also...... A trick to steal someone else's energy? That's a good ......."
Picking up a few copies casually, Anne took them in front of her and flipped through them quickly, then pouted and threw them back with a little disgust.
"Little girl, don't throw that book around!"
"This is the most important wealth of our mystic mage, if it is replaced by the ancient master, you may not have it!"
Seeing that the little girl had discarded their hard work so casually, Wang Wang, as the administrator of the Knowledge Guardian, walked out very angrily, ignoring Stephen's pull behind him, and reprimanded him a little harshly.
"Humph! Isn't it just a bunch of spells? What's the big deal! ”
Anne herself casts spells now, and she doesn't need spells for a long time, so she really doesn't look down on these things from the other party!
She had already begun to directly study the essence of spells and the basic rules of the world, so she didn't bother to read this kind of book that only recorded a lot of magic circles and spells! As long as she wants, she can make a whole bunch of new spells at will.
"Ahem...... So Annie, are they all real? ”
Seeing that the focus of the argument between the two was a bit off-topic, Coulson quickly stood up and diverted the little girl's attention as soon as possible. He didn't want the two of them to argue here about a bunch of things he didn't understand, so it would be better to settle these things here quickly.
"Yes, it's true! If you want to learn, just let them teach you slowly! ”
Anne doesn't care if they're secretary mages or spell mages, such opportunistic spell casters, or crooked ways of stealing energy from other worlds to cast spells, she doesn't care about it, she's an orthodox arcane mage, and these people are not all the way at all.
Possessing supreme power, grasping the core truth, and pursuing the most basic meanings of the world, this is the essence of Arcane Mage Anne's exploration of the world and the study of magic!
Of course, this is what she saw from the book, not what she came up with!
Anne would not have come up with such a philosophical thing, and the gist she came up with was actually very simple, that is: eat well! Sleep well! Play well!
(Tibbs is speechless...... )
(/(エ)\)
"As long as the books are okay, that's fine."
Nodding his head to make sure that these Kama Taj mages weren't fooling them with the shield game, Coulson nodded in satisfaction.
"Anyway, they're boring!"
These spells are fancy and fanciful, and Anne doesn't think it's useful, that is, they are just suitable for ordinary people to quickly grasp power!
In Anne's opinion, it was almost impossible to achieve high results by learning them, and her own Amorim mother only let her see those spells, but never explained them, but explained the most basic spell construction theories in as much detail as possible.
In the past, Anne thought more than once that her mother was lazy, but now it seems to her that there is really nothing to explain.
Of course, these books are still very useful for new scholars like them earthlings, and they can also be a shortcut to gaining power, like the guy who dared to come out and cause trouble after studying spells for two years.
"Well, since our advisor said it's okay, that's fine!"
"Mr. Strange, and Mr. Wang, I am looking forward to our next cooperation with your Mage Retreat and contribute to the peaceful gathering and prosperity of the earth!"
Seeing that nothing had changed, Director Nick Fury stepped forward with a smile and generously shook hands with the two mages who were about to say goodbye.
"Hey! Uncle Black, what do you want so many books for? ”
Anne was a little puzzled, if you want to learn spells, you can just pick a few suitable ones, the rest are troublesome things, and there is no need to learn them at all.
"Research, of course!"
"Also, Annie, you may not know that we now have a plan to establish a mage school, right here on the moon, we plan to build an independent base to be used as a mage school, which is also the result of previous negotiations with the hermitage."
Coulson didn't mind it, in fact, this top-secret matter, Annie, the magic consultant and major shareholder, had the right to access the documents, but she was too lazy, even if it was a document that was specially passed to her, she never looked at it.
"Annie, what do you think of our plan to start a magic school?"
When pure technology is dealing with some mutants or mutants, it is faintly deficient, so the Bear Shield Bureau has this cooperation agreement with the Mage Hermitage Society. Although it is a bit of a semi-persecution, however, there is no way to do it, otherwise, those mages would not be able to teach them this honestly.
"Oh, whatever you ......"
"I can tell you, what I learned is different from theirs! So, I'm not going to give you a lesson, don't even think about it! ”
In fact, with Anne's own ability, even to teach the various big leaders of the mage hermitage monastic is more than enough! But, she's lazy, so she doesn't want to do those troublesome things!
“……”
Originally, Coulson really thought so about this matter, but seeing that the little girl refused so neatly, he didn't rush to persuade him.
Anyway, there is no shadow of the school yet, and it will take at least a year and a half to prepare for this matter! Therefore, he is not in a hurry at all, and there will always be a chance in the future.
"Humph! I tell you, be careful when you learn this spell! If you don't pay attention, you're bound to get into big trouble! ”
This kind of casting the power of another world or a strong person to cast a land spell is a shortcut, but it is also very powerful...... But the after-effects are also greater!
This kind of arcane mage is actually no different from those warlocks who sign a contract with demons and then gain demonic powers, and sooner or later they will fall into trouble! This kind of practice, in the eyes of the orthodox mages, is completely unworthy!
Moreover, Anne also felt that the previous Dormammu running to Earth must have something to do with these mages who didn't know how to live and die to steal the energy of each other's dark world!
"Trouble? What's the trouble with learning spells? ”
Coulson asked a little curiously, and at this time, even Director Nick Fury, who had just said goodbye to the other party, came over.
"It's a big problem anyway!"
"Come to think of it, their mage apprentices don't have much magic in their own right, so...... When they unleash those powerful spells, where does the energy come from? The energy of the world is conserved, and so are spells! If you cast a spell, it's either your own magic, or the power of nature or the magic net! Or...... Stealing someone else's! ”
Anne was stunned when she finished speaking, because she found out that ...... These guys in front of them are all confused! Obviously, they probably didn't understand what she said before!
“……”
“……”
This group of people began to be circled...... Conservation of energy they know, but ...... What is magic? What is the Magic Web? The strangest thing is: can even power be stolen? After all, it's something you can't see or touch......
Therefore, Coulson and the director and Hill and the others looked at each other awkwardly, and then, very innocently, looked at the little girl again, hoping that the other party could explain it to them clearly? At least, in a way they can understand?
"That...... My little white may be calling me home for dinner, so ...... Goodbye to the millet guys!! ”
After seeing that she seemed to be playing the piano to a group of cows, Anne nodded as if she was suddenly enlightened, and then suddenly smiled and waved her hand at everyone, directly teleporting quickly, and disappeared in place in an instant.
“……”
"Ciel, and Melinda, do you understand?"
Coulson turned his head to look at his companions on the other side, and as for the director, he didn't dare to ask.
"Except for most of the things I didn't understand, I understood all the rest!"
Melinda gave Coulson a cold look, then turned around and went to sort out the books. These things are top secret, so they can only be sorted out and packed by these people here and put them in the secret inventory.
