Chapter 93: Odin's Family Affairs
"What just happened?"
Hawkeye was still in a state of confusion, and what had happened before was a little too magical, and he even wondered if he had any delusions.
Coulson knew Ethan's identity, so he returned to normal faster, turned his head and asked Ethan: "Is this also magic?
Ethan shook his head: "The only limit is the user's ability. β
He won't go into details about the specific things, the limitations of this kind of teleportation magic are still relatively large, for most ordinary mages, the destination of teleportation must be the place they have been, only in this way can the destination be more vividly formed in their minds.
Of course, for a mage of the level of the Ancient One, he can go wherever he wants, and the only limitation is that he can't break through the plane barrier - a higher level of magic is required to break through the plane barrier.
Due to Arthur's sudden appearance, there was a bit of a commotion among the surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but there was Coulson and Hawkeye here, so no one pulled out their weapons and rushed over to subdue the intruders. After getting Coulson's order, he went back to his own business.
"Let me introduce you to Arthur Pendragon, from Britain. β
"British?"
"Probably not, right?"
Modern Britain is still different from Arthur's Britain at the time, and it can even be said that the invaders that Arthur fought against are the ancestors of modern British.
"Arthur Pendragon?"
As the most knowledgeable of all, Tony immediately thought of what the name meant, plus an introduction from Britain. "Don't tell me it's Arthur. He felt that the identity of this young man was even more shocking than that hammer of unknown origin.
"It's that Arthur. Ethan nodded, confirming Tony's guess.
"What are you kidding? It's impossible to determine if that person really exists, and you're telling me now that the boy who looks younger than you is that person?"
Ethan spread his hands, looking like this: "Don't be surprised, you forgot that I told you about my origin before?"
"You mean......" Tony snapped, "he's not the one in this world." β
"Of course not. β
A series of conversations between the two made Coulson and Hawkeye even more confused, and Coulson, who was still relatively familiar, stopped the conversation between the two men.
"Okay, with that out of the way, can you two explain what you're talking about?"
Arthur Pendragon, King of Britain, is better known as King Arthur.
As soon as Ethan revealed Arthur's true identity, both Coulson and Hawkeye understood what the two men meant by what they had said.
"You mean, he's King Arthur?"
Hawkeye touched his forehead, thinking that he might not have woken up yet, and Coulson looked incredulous.
"You can travel back in time?"
"No, you can learn about the concept of parallel universes...... And I don't know if King Arthur really exists in your world. β
King Arthur is only a character in legends and poetry in many worlds, and the jury has not been made whether or not he actually exists. King Arthur's popularity in modern Britain has a certain relationship with the fact that the original rulers wanted to better control the whole of Britain, and it doesn't matter to them whether it really exists or not.
Arthur had long been clear about his identity, he had no interest in the philosophical question of whether he really existed, he was real in his world, and instead of dwelling on those things, it was better to absorb useful knowledge from multiple dimensional worlds and then make his future more perfectβthis is the philosophy that Ethan has always instilled in him.
Walking from the tarmac to the center of the makeshift camp, Coulson and Hawkeye were still a little dizzy, Hawkeye had to recover relatively quickly, he didn't need to think too much, as a field agent on a combat mission, he didn't need to bother with such a thing.
Coulson had a lot of headaches, and he was wondering how he was going to report to Fury what had happened today.
"King Arthur exists, but what about Merlin?"
In the legend of King Arthur, Merlin is always an existence that cannot be ignored, Hawkeye asked when he thought of it, and Ethan did not hide his thoughts, and directly told why Arthur appeared here.
"I was entrusted by Merlin to travel with him to gain knowledge. β
Well, all the knowledge has grown to other universes, and the famous great magician Merlin is really different.
At the same time, Coulson's evaluation of Ethan has improved a lot again, and people who can relate to the characters in the legendary story can't be too high.
With all sorts of thoughts, the group came to the very center of the camp, a completely fenced clearing, the only special feature being the hammer in the middle of the clearing.
"That's it. β
When he arrived at his destination, Coulson put away all the thoughts in his mind, and it was more important to deal with this matter for now.
Ethan and Tony immediately leaned in and took a closer look around the hammer.
Tony was wearing steel armor at this time, but his helmet was open.
"You mean, no one can pick it up?"
"That's what the report says, and many agents have tested it themselves, and at the moment, let alone pick it up, they can't even make it shake in the slightest. β
"Can I try it?"
"Please. β
It would be more convenient for S.H.I.E.L.D. if Tony was able to pick up the hammer so they could take things out of here and send them to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research facility for more detailed research.
It's a pity that no matter how majestic and invincible Tony's steel armor was in the past, it seemed a little powerless in front of this seemingly small hammer.
Ethan has been observing from the side, he didn't shoot casually, but let go of his mental power to conduct a comprehensive sense.
As for the fact that Tony was in various poses next to him, trying to lift the hammer without success, it was not at all surprising to him.
"Alright, Tony, don't try. You can't pick up this hammer. β
"What did you find?"
Ethan's words attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't mean to explain it now, but motioned for Arthur to come forward and give it a try.
"Why did you let him try? I know he's a famous person, but he looks like a normal teenager...... Could it be that there is no connection between this hammer and him?"
"No, I'm trying to validate an idea. β
If it is Thor's hammer in the comic book world, there will be a considerable degree of recognition for people with pure hearts and integrity, and it is impossible to choose a new master when Thor is deprived of the right to use it.
But this is the cinematic universe, and the Hammer of Thor in the cinematic universe is completely different from the one in the comic world, and he suspects that this thing has been manipulated by Odin.
Sure enough, as he expected, after Arthur tried, he couldn't shake Thor's hammer at all, let alone hold it, and it didn't even cause a little tremor.
And so it was. β
Ethan affirmed his judgment and asked Arthur again, "Did the Ancient One Master explain anything?"
Arthur was clapping his hands, he had exerted all his strength just now, and the pain of his palms being ground by the handle of the hammer was relieved by patting, when he heard Ethan's inquiry, he raised his head and signaled with his eyes, 'Is it appropriate to say here?'
"It's fine. β
"The master said that this is someone's family business, and we had better not get involved in it. β
Before, he only made inferences based on his previous memories and observations at the scene, and then heard the words that the ancient one asked Arthur to convey, and directly confirmed his guess.
"Odin has put a seal on the hammer, and no one but Odin himself will be able to pick up the hammer. β
Oden's strength is undoubtedly much stronger than Ethan's, and he has no way to break the seal set by Oden, which also means that he has nothing to do with this hammer.
"Sure enough, it was an intra-family dispute. β
Odin threw Thor to Earth, in the final analysis, to make him understand something, not to really give up this son, as long as Thor understands some truth, he is still the first heir to the throne of Asgard.
The plot of the entire Thor 1 is that Odin uses all kinds of means to educate his son, by the way, knocks the disobedient Loki, and eliminates the hidden dangers of Asgard, all the scripts have long been condemned to death by Odin, and it will not be easily destroyed at all.
"If I say that this thing is of no use to the earth and no harm, can I go and rest now?"
"Are you sure? Do you know what this is?"
"I know what it is, and I know that this thing is forged from the core of a white dwarf. β
"Wait. Tony stopped Ethan, "You're talking about the core of the white dwarf? Are you sure it's the white dwarf and not some other similar-sounding magic material?"
"You heard me right, I'm not wrong, it's the kind of white dwarf in astronomy. Ignoring Tony's eyes shining, Ethan continued to point to the hammer next to him and introduced: "This thing is covered with magic spells that can barely be seen with the naked eye, and it also has a very powerful layer of energy on the surface, so we can't really touch the hammer itself, so no matter who it is, as long as they can't remove the energy on the surface of the hammer, they can't move this thing." β
"Is it magic?"
Ethan shook his head, the technology contained in this hammer can no longer be explained by magic alone, and even the so-called science, mystery and other adjectives on the earth are not suitable now, Asgard's technical level has transcended these limitations, and they have truly perfectly integrated knowledge to forge this equipment.
Tell what can be said, listen to it or not, it's Coulson's business, Ethan next just wants to quietly wait for Thor himself to arrive.
Fortunately, this reckless man didn't make him wait long, and as soon as he stopped to introduce him, Coulson received a communication that someone had broken into the makeshift camp.
