Chapter 517: Solomon's Key
Sitting in his luxurious villa with a sea view, Tony looked through the information in his hand, and looked up at the old man on the sofa from time to time.
S.H.I.E.L.D., the old man who can twist steel, the mysterious bureau chief who will sell him to Thailand as a demon if he doesn't agree, and this diary left to him by his father.
Everything made Tony feel like a dream, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't refute it.
"Ahem..."
Tony deliberately coughed twice, breaking the silence between the two, and said, "Magneto, how do you control steel?" β
Magneto didn't raise his head, and looked at the newspaper intently, as if there was an undressed girl in the newspaper attracting him.
Seeing that Magneto didn't answer, Tony didn't feel embarrassed either, and continued: "Your superpowers are simply handsome, how much salary does S.H.I.E.L.D. give you, if you are willing to follow me, I can pay double!" β
Hearing this, Magneto, who had been expressionless, showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Tony's expression as if he was looking at a fool.
If money can solve the problem, how can he use it to work for others, just go out and go around a few times and find a few gold mines.
The problem of mutants is not something that money can solve, they want to build their own cities and kingdoms like the Jews, which requires a strong political background and the support of most countries in the world.
Even, they are not as good as the Jews, the Jews are human beings, and mutants are rats that everyone shouts at no matter where they are.
In addition, every mutant has more or less shortcomings in ability, and it is easy to be caught when encountering a targeted layout, and Magneto has worked hard for half his life but has not found any hope of founding a country.
If it weren't for Wang Xu's control of the world government, his orders would be the will of the world, and mutants would still have to hide in the sewers like rats, how could they have their own cities and islands to survive.
So, don't say Tony is just a rich man, even if he is the president of the United States, he can't make Magneto fall with a bargaining chip, after all, Magneto is not for himself, there are millions of mutants behind him.
Tony didn't know about Magneto, and he was still racking his brains to dig into the wall.
Speaking of the back, seeing that Magneto didn't react, Tony sensed that something was wrong and whispered, "You don't like money?" What do you like, women, rights, or antique calligraphy and painting? You don't like men, do you? β
Sou!
As soon as Magneto looked up, Tony's whole body flew upside down and slammed into the wall.
This hit made his eyes blacken, and he coughed: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to make friends with you, stop it, I'm going to be out of breath!" β
Magneto's gaze relaxed, and Tony fell off the wall.
"If you're really smart, work quickly, my patience is limited, and you won't want to try my little tricks." Magneto spread out the newspaper again and read it intently.
Tony struggled to get up, and since he was a child, he never suffered a loss.
The last person to embarrass him was the terrorists in Afghanistan, who were sent to the sky by him in steel armor.
"Don't look at your toy, it won't protect you." Magneto didn't have to look up to know what Tony was thinking.
Iron Man, hmph, that's a joke.
Magneto has seen videos of Tony wearing armor and fighting others, maybe the steel armor is somewhat powerful to others, but in front of him, the king of metal, any metal is a toy that can be disassembled at will.
"Old fellow, count yourself ruthless!" Thinking of the scene where Magneto sucked the shrapnel out of his blood through his body, Tony hesitated and suppressed the urge to put on the armor and teach the old man a hard lesson.
Control the magnetic field, control the metal, how can such a person exist in the world.
This person is so powerful, but it is only part of the plan to support the future, and although Tony doesn't understand what the plan to support the future is, it sounds like a powerful one.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the smiling person who claimed to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. again.
Magneto is that person's subordinate, an old man is so powerful, a person like Magneto, how many people are under that person.
The more he thought about it, the more Tony felt his scalp tingle.
Ever since he created the Iron Armor, he had always thought that he was at the top of the world, and that the world had no secrets for him.
Now that I look at it, this idea is simply naΓ―ve, I haven't been exposed to this level before, and I haven't stood high enough.
"Supporting the future, this plan sounds pretty cool, can you count me in one?"
The answer to how to better understand the enemy is to penetrate the enemy.
The more mysterious Wang Xu was, the more interested Tony became, and he didn't notice the banter in Magneto's eyes.
Kama Taj.
"Language is a bridge of communication, and in ancient times, sages discovered that language contains a very powerful power. So, they integrated the language and put together powerful sounds, which became the original mantra. If that doesn't seem right to you, think of the universe as a computer, and the spell is the source code of the computer.
Different spells, just different source code, are combined to have all kinds of functions, like you type instructions into the computer. In order to activate these source codes, we need to collect energy from the universe, which we call magic. When we use magic as energy, spells as code, and gestures as conductors, we can make the magic we want. β
On the training ground of Kama Taj, the Ancient One mage shook a wooden fan in his hand and explained the mysteries of magic to his apprentices.
More than 30 apprentices stood with their hands in their hands, standing together and listening quietly.
After a few moments, the Ancient One mage closed the fan, looked at Hermione standing in front of him, and asked, "Do you have any questions?" β
"Teacher, from the book Solomon's Key, I read that Solomon imprisoned the demon god and gave his apprentices the power of the demon god, thus turning his disciples into mages comparable to gods and demons in one fell swoop. Many of those disciples had never been exposed to magic before, and they gained great power in one step, so why do we need to learn step by step? β
In the face of Hermione's question, the other students also listened attentively, and it was clear that this was also what they wanted to ask.
The Ancient One Master looked around, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You have all read the book Solomon's Key, so do you know what happened to Solomon and his disciples?" β
All those present shook their heads, but there is no such record in the book of Solomon.
"Solomon was the king of the ancient kingdom of Judea, and he was also a super mage, he was born divine, and his wisdom was so superior that even the gods and demons marveled at his wisdom. But smart people have a shortcoming, they can't bear to improve their strength step by step, because that's too slow. Belel, one of the Seven Monarchs of Hell, saw Solomon's impetuousness, and he took the initiative to descend to the mortal world, telling Solomon at that time that he was impressed by Solomon's wisdom and was willing to lend him his power.
Solomon had no doubt that he took the power of Belier with him to travel between hell and heaven, drinking and mingling with gods and demons. The extravagance and enjoyment of the gods and demons seriously corroded Solomon's heart, causing him to forget his exploration of magic and become an arrogant, proud, arrogant, lascivious, and obsessed with women.
After forty years of his reign, Solomon's health deteriorated, and the power of hell polluted his body and soul. When he held his old body and woke up from his pleasures, he was no longer the mage comparable to gods and demons, and he died in regret. And his apprentices also died in the struggle for power, and only legends remain to this day. β
Speaking of this, the Ancient One Mage looked at Hermione and said solemnly: "The power of one step to the sky will lose your heart, and when you are used to tricking in strength, you will not be able to endure the accumulation of magic bit by bit. The book of Solomon is not to show you the greatness of Solomon, but to show you what it will mean to be lost in power. β
"What if we could absorb the power without losing ourselves?" One of the students stepped forward and asked.
Master Gu Yi shook his head slightly and looked at the student who spoke: "Solomon thought the same way at that time, are you wiser than Solomon?" β
Everyone stopped talking, who dared to say that he was wiser than Solomon, I'm afraid the ancient one mage wouldn't dare to say so.
"Bang Bang Bang..."
The apprentices were silent, Wang Xu applauded, and walked all the way from the path.
Seeing Wang Xu coming, Hermione had a smile on her face, and the ancient one mage remained silent and said, "Class!" β
