Chapter 514: Seizure of power
As it turned out, Hermione lived up to her reputation as a top student.
was reluctant just now, and after accompanying her into the library building and holding a magic book in his hand, Wang Xu quickly became a superfluous person.
Hermione, sitting in a chair holding a book, focused, obsessed, unmoved by the outside world.
Wang Xu leaned on the bookshelf and looked at her side face, and for the first time realized that this was intellectual beauty, and the more she looked at it, the more comfortable it became.
Without saying a word, he watched quietly for half an hour, and Wang Xu withdrew without saying a word.
He had already told Hermione all the taboos that he could go, and it depended on Hermione's performance to go as far as the Ancient One Mage.
Book of the Visant, Book of Forbidden Dark Magic, Eye of Agamotto, Orb of Agomoto, Scepter of Time and Space, Wand, Cloak of Hover, Mask of Knowledge, Soul Pendant, Mask of the Dead, Boots of Fodo...
As the elder of the ancients and the supreme mage, the ancient one has collected countless treasures from various planes in his long career of more than five hundred years.
Every disciple who enters the Hall of Magic, after receiving the approval of the Ancient One, has the right to receive one of her collections.
Wang Xu told Hermione about his prophetic prescience, which is equivalent to giving her a cheat, if everything goes well, two years later, Strange will come to Kama Taj, and the competitors of the Supreme Mage will no longer be Mordo and Staranch, but the Three Kingdoms Rivalry.
Leaving the library, Wang Xu did not leave in a hurry, he still had a task to do, to inquire about the attitude of the ancient master from Lao Wang.
It was already getting dark outside, and when Wang Xu found Lao Wang, he was oiling the torture equipment in the dungeon.
Looking at the slightly eerie dungeon illuminated by the magic flames, Wang Xu stood at the door and asked, "How come there is still a dungeon in Kama Taj?" ”
"Before the Three Great Temples were established, there were many different space passages on the earth, and there were often demons, devils, evil gods, or other evil beings peeping into the earth. When the Supreme Mage defeats the evil beings who come to try to get their hands on Earth, they are imprisoned in a dungeon, which was once overcrowded. ”
Lao Wang put down the shackles on his hand, turned around and smiled: "Now it's different, the three major temples have sealed the space-time tunnel, and the evil existence that exceeds a certain level is not allowed to enter the earth at all, and the dungeon is deserted." ”
Wang Xu walked up silently, observed the iron chains nailed to the wall, and found that these black iron chains were covered with dense magic runes.
Looking further down the ground, the stone slabs on the ground were uneven, and there was a faint shadow of a magic array.
Although the current dungeon has not been activated, it can be used as a prison cell by the Supreme Mage, and there are many magic circles that want to ban demons, forbidden object attacks, forbidden space, and forbidden souls.
"Let's go, the yin qi here is very heavy, there have been countless demon gods and great devils who have cursed here, and staying for a long time will pollute the soul."
Lao Wang didn't let Wang Xu visit for too long, and left the dungeon with him.
The two walked all the way out, through two corridors, to Kama Taj's kitchen.
"I was an outcast and never knew who my parents were, and I was brought to Kama Taj by the Ancient One when I was two years old. Master Gu Yi chased the time, met my parents, and came back to tell me that my father's surname was Wang, and then I became King. ”
Lao Wang took out the ingredients and began to cook, and continued: "I have been to China, and in a temple in Qinghai, I learned Sanskrit and Chinese from an old lama, as well as the art of cooking. What about you, I heard the ancient mage say, you come from the earth of other dimensions, what are you like? ”
"My hometown is quiet and peaceful, with gods and magic being legends and no supernatural powers. By chance, I became a time traveler, and I learned that there is a world beyond the world, and that we are so small compared to the vastness of the multiverse. ”
Wang Xu chatted with Lao Wang without saying a word, and the two talked about a wide range, from hometown specialties to aliens and dimensional creatures, and from evil gods to supreme mages.
The more Lao Wang chatted, the more satisfied he became, he didn't know that every answer from Wang Xu was guided, no matter what they were talking about, the topic would eventually return to the Ancient One Mage.
"Old Wang, what does the Ancient One Mage think of human beings?"
"Render to the gods what is of the gods, and to Caesar what is Caesar's."
Lao Wang's answer is very interesting, this is a famous saying in the West, which means that the things of the gods belong to the gods, and the things of the mortal world belong to the mortal world.
Using this sentence to describe the attitude of the ancient one towards human beings, the straightforward explanation is that I don't care about the things of the mortal world, and the things beyond the scope of the mortal world are left to me.
What is beyond the mortal world, the invasion of evil gods, the pollution of the abyss, the dimensional war.
These things are beyond the scope of human beings, so human beings have never known that there is a Supreme Mage Temple in the world, and there is a person named Supreme Mage who leads the rest of the mages to protect the Earth and prevent the Earth from falling into the hands of evil forces.
"If there is a force on the earth that rises, and they plan to rule the earth, eliminate hunger, war, and establish a world government, will the ancient one mage intervene?" Wang Xutu was exhausted and asked the question he was most concerned about.
Lao Wang flipped the frying spoon, put the fried fish-flavored shredded pork on the plate, and replied after a moment of silence: "Is there an evil god army interfering?" ”
Wang Xu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "No, all of them are humans." ”
Harry Potter world, Iron World, Reverse World, X-Men World, he established the Earth Alliance, not the Evil God Alliance, of course, it is human beings who are in charge, and it has nothing to do with the evil gods.
Hearing Wang Xu's answer, Lao Wang fell into contemplation again, and only spoke after a while: "The ancient first mage will pay attention and will not interfere." ”
Wang Xu had a smile on his face, and spent the next time drinking and eating with Lao Wang, and no longer chatted about additional topics.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Wang Xu drank the Wuliangye in the cup and whispered, "Please tell the Ancient One Mage for me, the Earth Alliance is looking forward to her joining." ”
After saying this, Wang Xu got up and left, and his plan could enter the second stage.
Seven days later...
"I'm Iron Man, I'm a superhero!"
In the TV, Stark, dressed in a mecha, is flying at a press conference held by Stark Industries.
The whole scene was in an uproar, countless reporters were frantically taking pictures, and no one knew that Stark's appearance meant that the era of superheroes had begun.
"Tony Stark!"
In the conference room, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury sat in a chair, watching the broadcast and narrowing his only right eye.
However, he did not act rashly, because he had more important things to do, and that was to be received by members of Congress.
Click...
The door opened, and six members of the Senate, four men and two women, walked in from outside the room.
These six people are all bigwigs of the two parties, political and interest groups in the United States, and spokesmen in the Congress.
"Hello Director Fury, let's sit down and talk."
The elderly lawmakers pulled out their chairs and the others took their seats.
As soon as he sat down, Fury sensed something was wrong, as his chair was directly across from the six, and it looked like six police officers were interrogating a prisoner.
"Nick Fury, born in 1920 "Doubtful, another set for 1951, here is the former", a veteran agent of World War II, who was born and died for the mission, and even sacrificed an eye, a multiple High Medal of Honor recipient, has the reputation of the king of agents, has been in the super soldier program, injected body anti-aging serum, and is currently the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
The old councillor had a document in his hand, looked up slightly when he read it, and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
"Nope."
"That's good!"
The old councillor put down the document and said: "You were born in 1920, you are 90 years old this year, although the anti-aging serum can make you live longer than normal people, but you are still no longer young. Based on our consultations, Congress unanimously agreed that it is immoral to tie a ninety-year-old man to death with a position, and that you are a person who has contributed to the country and humanity, and you should not be allowed to spend your entire life at work. ”
"What do you mean?" Fury had a bad feeling and asked hesitantly.
"We mean, it's time for you to go and enjoy the blessings, Hawaii, Peru, the Alps, the world is so big, you should go and see it." The old councillor pushed the document over and said softly, "Sign it, go and enjoy everything you deserve, and give the young man a chance." ”
Fury took a look at the document and found that it was a retirement statement, in which he promised to reward him with 10,000 acres of Australian farms, a Hawaiian villa with a sea view, and a million dollars in severance pay in recognition of his outstanding contributions to his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Looking at the government seal on the document and the approval of Congress, Fury realizes that as long as his signature is added, it is a valid retirement contract.
"You want me to fuck off?"
Fury pushed the document to the ground, panting like an enraged bull: "I want to see the president!" ”
"You don't need to see him, and he doesn't want to see you."
The old councillor took out the voice recorder from his arms and gently pressed the play button: "Fury, I'm Oba Niu, to be honest, I really don't want you to hear this." You are the pride of the country, the conscience of the industry, and I never worry about intelligence, because I hold the king of agents in my hands. However, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, although I am very reluctant to you, but when it is time to say goodbye, we will say goodbye, I hope you can understand me. ”
The recording vanished, and Fury shook his body twice and sat down in his chair.
"In addition to being controlled by the Mei government, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also under the supervision of the United Nations, do you need to listen to the United Nations Secretary-General?"
Hearing the old councilor's words, Fury shook his head slightly and whispered, "Who will succeed me?" Phil Coulson, Frie Mays, or Maria Hill? ”
Phil Coulson is Fury's deputy and commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat forces, and has been groomed by Fury as a successor.
Maria Hill is the head of logistics, half-civilian, half-combatant, and she represents the interests of S.H.I.E.L.D. civilian and non-operational teams.
Frie Mays is the liaison officer sent by the government to S.H.I.E.L.D., representing the face of the government, and is also the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Neither!" The old councillor shook his head lightly: "After you leave, these people will still perform their own duties, and there will be someone else to choose the director." ”
Fury frowned slightly, and said with a not very good face: "Aren't they?" You're not going to use a layman to lead an insider, right, who is this person? ”
"It's me..."
The door to the conference room opened again, and a young man in a tunic walked in with a smile on his face.
