In the spring of 2014, under Lu Xiao's dedicated research, the rune level in the systematic review finally crossed the E-level mark and officially reached the D-level.

After several years of experience in the world of Assassin's Creed, Lu Xiao already has a deep understanding of the system's skill level evaluation.

The F level is just a glimpse of the way and can't even be used in real combat, while the E level is a real entry level for a skill.

Starting from the D-level, the skills that Lu Xiao learned can begin to exert their power, and correspondingly, the progress rate of the skills after reaching the D-level will also slow down significantly.

Gu Yi didn't intervene too much about Lu Xiao's specialization in lune magic, and would only point out the most critical point of the problem he faced when his study and research reached an impasse.

The Ancient One, who has lived for thousands of years, is not proficient in the spells of all factions, but at least he will have some knowledge of rune runes, after all, this is the magic school that the Asgard druids are best at.

According to the Kama Taj texts, the rise of the Ancient One and Kama Taj has actually always made Odin a little unhappy.

The nine planets in the World Tree system have always been regarded by Odin as their own forbidden territory, and with the growth of the Earth Mystic, Asgard's voice and domination over the Earth have gradually declined.

Odin, who has entered the stage of self-cultivation, does not have the decisiveness he used to kill.

Considering that Midgard is also part of the Nine Realms, as long as the humans of the earth do not blatantly declare their independence from the jurisdiction of Asgard, and forced by the existence of the powerful Supreme Mage of the Ancient One, Odin will turn a blind eye to the development of the earth.

Despite his attitude, Odin, as a powerful ruler, will eventually be unhappy with the independence of Earth from Asgard, and has regarded the Ancient One and the Mystics as imaginary enemies for many years.

This is also the reason why the ancient one mentioned to Thor before that he hoped that Odin would be less senseless hostile to Earth.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles, just in case, Gu Yi began to study Asgard's rune spells hundreds of years ago, and those reading notes that Lu Xiao saw when he flipped through the books were left by Gu Yi.

After the Battle of the Dark Elves, peace and tranquility were restored to the Nine Realms.

Dormammu's attempt to steal the Reality Gem failed, and he temporarily retracted his claws, and Casillas, who was suspected of defecting to Dormammu, was never heard from again.

When Lu Xiao was basically familiar with the characteristics of the two Ulu Hidden Blades, the system, which had not taken the initiative for a long time, suddenly released a new side mission.

"Detect Captain America 2 plot is about to begin, and the side quest is released: Shield and Serpent."

"Mission Requirements: Eliminate the threat posed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra to the world."

"Reward: 1 B-level draw in this world, 2 free skill points."

Lu Xiao, who was establishing a spiritual connection with the Ulu Hidden Blade, suddenly opened his eyes: "Is it really here?" ”

As the clock ticked by in 2014, a powerful sixth sense derived from the Isu bloodline reminded Lu Xiao that something should happen recently.

Before entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Lu Xiao had a cursory glance at the plot of Captain America 2.

To put it simply, S.H.I.E.L.D., as the guardian of the earth, was parasitized by Hydra, a famous villain in the Marvel world, and gradually corrupted from within.

And this process of corruption is irreversible, Hydra's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. began after the end of World War II, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was first established, and the two sides were too entangled to distinguish each other.

Now that the side quest has been released, in line with the idea of getting rewards to improve personal strength, Lu Xiao naturally intends to complete it.

Lu Xiao, who had left the novice stage of the mystician, had obtained permission from the ancient one as early as the end of the battle of the dark elves, and could act according to his own wishes, provided that he followed the secretive rules of the mystician and did not let ordinary people discover his identity as much as possible.

Hiding his identity is not a problem for Lu Xiao, who is an assassin, even if he doesn't use breath blocking, he has many ways to walk in the crowd in a low-key manner.

The Triflex Wing Building at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

Since the system mentions that the plot of Captain America 2 is about to start, it means that the preparation of the insight plan pushed by Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has entered the final stage and is about to be officially launched.

The so-called Insight Project is a killer plan prepared by Nick Fury in order to deal with the frequent strange cases on Earth.

Although the battle of New York was won by the efforts of the start-up Avengers, the situation facing the planet is still grim.

For the first time, the general public on Earth confirmed the existence of aliens, and the related butt-wiping incident alone kept S.H.I.E.L.D. busy.

The defeat of the Zetarians left behind a lot of alien black technology weapons in New York, most of which were recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D., and many of them flowed into the black market, and the plot of Spider-Man: The Return of the Heroes is related to this.

But the chaos in Spider-Man's plot is just the tip of the iceberg, with Zitari weapons being used to commit crimes all over the world, and the number of supervillains with special abilities increasing year after year.

Nick Fury is a pragmatic man, although he has a firm belief in protecting the earth, but his ruthlessness in order to achieve his goals has made many of his own people in S.H.I.E.L.D. fearful.

In order to efficiently control and solve high-risk and vicious cases around the world, Furui launched a project called Project Insight.

The contents of the project are highly secretive, and even Steve Rogers, the captain of World War II heroes and American flags, is unaware of it.

"The opening ...... of Captain America 2"

Lu Xiao touched her chin and recalled: "It seems to have happened near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., right?" ”

"Then go to Washington, D.C., and make some preparations before Hydra launches the plan."

……

With the help of the portal opened by the Supreme Mage Ancient One, Lu Xiao easily came to an uninhabited grove on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States, and although it is not as well-known as the economically developed cities of New York and Los Angeles, as the political center of the United States, the residents of Washington, D.C., with a population of only 700,000, are either rich or expensive.

The headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. is very famous, and without Lu Xiao even asking passers-by for the location, you can easily find the location of the building with the help of the city's navigation map.

The Triquillary Wing Building, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., is located near Theodore Roosevelt Island in the middle of the Potomac River, not far from the famous Lincoln Memorial and directly across from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Center.

Before the operation, Lu Xiao turned on his breath to the top of the spire of the Washington Monument as usual, and used the eagle's pupil to overlook the various landmarks in the city.

This is not only to familiarize yourself with the terrain when moving, but also to keep in mind the topographical features of the main areas of Washington, D.C., so that you can use teleportation to move around the city when necessary.

Kama Taj's teleportation technique must have an impression of the destination before using it, and imagining it out of thin air will only cause the portal to open the wrong passage, and if you are not careful, you may even be thrown into the spatial turbulence.

Compared to bustling cities like New York and London, the pace of life in Washington, D.C. is relatively slow, and Lu Xiao can see many morning joggers jogging along the cherry blossom river at the top of the monument.

Lu Xiao looked at the cherry blossoms that were blooming and the pedestrians who were leisurely admiring the flowers, and smiled wickedly: "Bald Eagle Sang, Sakura in my hometown is gone." ”

"Your days of many troubles will also begin."
