Chapter 85: If you say no, you don't, you don't, you don't

Ethan was very unconvinced now, and he didn't believe that there was no way to change the stereotype of these people.

"It looks like Mr. Senator doesn't believe me. ”

David Brickman showed a very 'friendly' smile, as if to express kindness, but in fact, he didn't know how to answer the question, and maintaining a kind smile at this time is the safest way to cope.

Most of the time, the other party will consciously stagger the topic, and unless the other party is dissatisfied with themselves, they will rarely grasp a problem and not let go.

It's a pity that he didn't work today.

In the past, those people were asking for him, or their status was lower than him, and when they saw him not answering, they understood what he meant: they didn't want to dwell on this topic.

That's why he tried all kinds of tricks.

But Ethan was not his subordinate, he was not a politician who came to ask him to do something, and even if he understood what Brickman meant, he was not willing to do what he wanted.

"How do you think Mr. Senator can prove that I am a magician?"

David Brickman understands that this problem cannot be bypassed. As for how to prove it? In fact, he has no concept, in his impression that magicians are fictional film and television works and characters that only exist in Chinese works, and what characteristics of those characters are difficult to describe, can only be simply summarized as having some strange abilities, almost omnipotent existence.

Looking left and right, Brickman could only say casually, "You said you were from another world?"

"That's right. ”

"How did you come to this world?" Brickman thought for a moment, and then chased, "Have you been to other worlds too?"

"With a special teleportation magic that can break down dimensional barriers. ”

Ethan thought about it, and in order to strengthen the explanation, his hands were gently spread, and the surging magical energy was like a well-behaved pet, which was transformed into one ball after another by him, and this small reception room seemed to be instantly transformed into a unique celestial pavilion, and the scene displayed by these energies was much more shocking than that of any IMAX.

Not only was Brickman stunned, but even Charles and Eric were stunned. As for Mora, she was already stupefied.

"Each sphere is likened to a universe, and in my eyes countless universes are displayed in front of me like this, and all I have to do is to break the protective layer on the outside of the sphere and enter inside. ”

The sight in front of him was shocking, and it was easier to believe that it was better to say 10,000 words than to show something special, and although Brickman still suspected that it was just Ethan's mutant ability, he was still willing to continue to listen rather than continue to firmly classify him as a mutant.

He also realized that if Ethan was not a mutant and was really a magician, did it mean that ordinary people also had the possibility of obtaining special abilities?

Thinking of this, he was not so repulsed by Ethan's constant emphasis that he was not a mutant, and even became very enthusiastic about it.

Ethan gave a brief introduction to the situation of mages, which proved one of Brickman's guesses: mages can be cultivated by ordinary people.

It's just that the entry threshold for mages is extremely high, and those who don't have talent don't even have the qualifications to become apprentices.

Of course, Ethan will not kindly tell him that he was not very talented back then, he will only keep raising the bar, and as for whether Brickman can find a good apprentice, Ethan does not care.

He repeatedly asserts his identity, one of the main reasons being that he doesn't want to be tied to mutants.

It's not good for mutants, or for themselves.

Ethan then deliberately showed some of his spell abilities, compared to mutants, most of the mutant abilities are relatively single, and there is almost no existence of plural abilities, when Ethan keeps showing his abilities, he is also constantly reminding Brickman that he is indeed not a mutant.

He constantly converts this energy into water, fire, and even thunder and lightning, ostensibly to show the differences between different worlds, but in essence he is still showing his own abilities.

At the same time, with the illusion to explain everything, Brickman is now beginning to lean towards the fact that the one in front of him is indeed a mage, especially after the other party is really like in the movie, with a slight wave of his hand, his somewhat messy clothes have returned to a clean and neat appearance.

This ability doesn't look like a mutant would have.

No mutant has ever been able to possess so many completely different abilities at the same time: Apocalypse is still asleep in Egypt.

Brickman slowly came to believe in the fact that Ethan was not a mutant, and then he realized that he had hit the ground running.

If Ethan's words were all true, it would mean a lot.

In addition to the fact that ordinary people can also wield special powers like mutants, it also seems to prove that humans are not alone in the universe, and even know that there are countless parallel universes.

This means an endless supply of resources, but also a possible crisis.

Resources and crises can all become bargaining chips for him to make a fuss, especially the possible existence of these things, which makes his original plan more feasible.

Brickman wants to recruit a team of mutants, just to use the powerful abilities of mutants like Charles and Eric to form a special department dedicated to fighting crime, as long as they can keep protecting the ordinary people, defending the United States, and doing a lot of things, as the driving force behind it, he has a basic plate.

He can also solve possible mutant crimes, and the reputation he gains will help him go further.

This alone is not enough, the news brought by Ethan means the existence of countless parallel worlds, and no one can guarantee that a certain world will not suddenly invade them.

Then the value of a sufficiently strong force group will increase dramatically, and the mutant troops he planned to recruit will seem to be more valued as a result, and he will also get more benefits.

"Are there people or groups that have the ability to break down the barriers of the plane and be hostile to other universes?"

Ethan nodded, he didn't say too much, in fact, he had to say too much, just let them understand that this world with multiple universes is far more dangerous than you think.

In a world where there are no other superheroes and no other superpowers, the X-Men will be their most reliable and powerful team, which can alleviate the tension between humans and mutants to a certain extent.

Of course, it is difficult to truly make human beings completely accept mutants, and at present, they can only compromise with each other to a certain extent, and then through the long-term efforts of the X-Men, ordinary people will realize that they cannot do whatever they want with the ability of mutants, and they must also accept the control and sanctions of the law like themselves, and the hostility of ordinary people towards mutants will subside a lot.

It's just that mutants' ability to mutate often goes out of control during adolescence, and the harm caused by this loss of control is sometimes too heavy to sentence for intentional crimes, and this point is not solved, and it has never been able to truly eliminate the dissatisfaction of ordinary people with mutants.

However, Ethan is not a mutant parent, and it is interesting enough to help them get here, so this little trouble will give Charles and Eric a headache.

What's more, even if everyone is an ordinary person, there are not necessarily many contradictions between various nationalities and races, and if we want complete harmony, it will only be possible when there is an alien invasion that brings mankind to the brink of extinction and destroys the old order and ideas.

The conversation then turned back to Charles and Eric, Ethan had stressed countless times that he was not from this world, and that he would leave this place soon, and that it would be enough to get information from me, and that I should not be expected to stay and die for you.

Brickman was a very smart man, and he understood what Ethan meant, and began to shift his focus to the two young mutants.

What's more, Ethan also more or less showed that he had a good relationship with these two people, and if the two of them were in trouble in the future, Ethan didn't mind helping.

In other words, as long as you befriend these two mutants, you are also in a relationship with this mage who can travel through different universes, and once you prove that what he said is true, then Brickman doesn't mind betting more chips on the two mutants.

Proper publicity about the X-Men's righteous actions and the like to make the world understand that there is a powerful part of the mutants who have been working hard to maintain world peace.

These are all things that Charles hasn't done well before, and Ethan reminds him that a big reason for working with some powerful politicians is for publicity.

It can't be helped, sometimes it's like this, no matter how much you do, but no one knows it, it's the same as not doing it. And the mutants have caused a disaster, and the overwhelming propaganda has directly driven the entire mutant race into the abyss, even if you send the X-Men to remedy it, it will be useless.

There are memories of 'past lives' that remind Charles of this, and this time he is no longer averse to working with politicians, at least Brickman is friendly, and if there are no accidents, they will be partners for quite some time to come.

If it goes well, there is no problem in becoming a long-term strategic partner.

In general, the meeting went well, and several parties achieved their goals.

Brickman has found his future political chips, and if all goes well, he can gain prestige, he can also improve his status, and if it is confirmed that Ethan's words are true, he may even become an important person in this world.

Charles has found a partner who is quite pleasing to the eye, and the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement. Although the X-Men will lose some freedom when they become official civil servants, it is better than fighting fires everywhere in front of them, and countless politicians are crazy to stab themselves.

After being also in the 'same camp', there are also some scruples about stabbing the knife, not to mention that there is also Brickman to help them block the pressure from this aspect.

As for Ethan, he finally convinced Brickman that he wasn't a mutant...... At least on the surface, it seems to be convincing.
