"Make a special pawn?"

Ellis, of course, knew that Coulson's so-called pawn was for the purpose of testing himself or the ability of Jiang's pawnshop.

But after thinking about it for a while, I found that I had no reason to reject him, let alone the need to reject him.

Like this kind of business that comes to your door on your own initiative, whoever refuses, who is stupid!

So Ellis got straight to the point and asked, "Since you want a 'special' pawn, do you know the rules of the pawnshop?" ”

"I know a little bit, but we're not going to pawn souls and lifespans, do you think this item can be pawned?"

Coulson saw that Ellis did not refuse to pawn because of his identity, let alone drive the two of them out directly, and hurriedly entered the code to open the metal box in his hand, revealing a golden Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue is not big, even the Buddha statue with a lotus base, it is only more than 20 centimeters, it should be a family Buddha placed at home to worship.

If the antique identification ability left by the predecessor is not wrong, this is a golden statue of the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King from the Ming Dynasty.

After seeing the true face of the Buddha statue in the box, Ellis looked at Coulson and Melinda several times with strange eyes.

Although they had known for a long time that S.H.I.E.L.D. had a lot of good things, and even the Cosmic Cube in the six Infinity Stones was in their hands, Ellis was still curious about when they had been eyeing religious items.

Even if you are obsessed with religious objects, as a Western organization, shouldn't you be more like a vampire hunter and collect some crosses and other things?

Now what does it mean to take out a typical oriental Buddha statue?

Speaking of which, there are really a lot of items of Western religion in S.H.I.E.L.D., most of which were obtained by accident, but because they were not thoroughly researched and couldn't figure out what was going on, they were all sealed.

At that time, Coulson considered that Ellis had oriental ancestry, so he subconsciously chose this golden statue of the Bodhisattva of King Jizo.

If you really let him talk carefully about the origin and function of the Buddha statue, he will also be confused!

Fortunately, after discovering Ellis's strange eyes, Melinda spoke: "This Buddha statue is very special, not only is it a valuable antique, but it also contains some kind of powerful power, maybe you will like it!" ”

Special?

Of course, this is a D-class magic weapon that has been formed after the blessing of a certain Buddhist powerhouse and the absorption of the power of the will for a long time.

Of course, Ellis, who is not a Buddhist, could not see this himself, but don't forget his identification skills.

When an identification technique is used, all the information is obtained.

Identified: King Jizo glazed golden body Buddha.

Ability: Ward off evil spirits (refers to souls that have not gone to hell)

Grade: D

Value: 100 profit points.

After reading the information in his mind, Ellis suddenly felt that today was very interesting, and it could be regarded as a more colorful day after traveling to Marvel.

Not only did I go to the scene to watch a fist-to-flesh battle between Abomination and the Hulk, I met a gentleman vampire who likes to eat hairy blood, but I also saw a Buddhist magic weapon!

Although in the world of Marvel, the appearance of the magic weapon of Buddhism also made him lose his mind for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised.

After all, even creatures like vampires exist, so why can't there be gods and Buddhas in the East!

And in a way, this Buddha statue magic weapon is not much different from the magic weapon in the hand of the Supreme Mage, it belongs to the same category of items.

"Buddha statues do have a certain value, you can pawn them, now let's talk about the specific wishes you want to fulfill!" After determining the value of the Buddha statue, Ellis spoke to the two of them.

"Really?" After the two looked at each other, Melinda asked.

"Yes, but the value of your wish cannot exceed the value of the pawn, that is, the value of the Buddha statue itself." Ellis emphasized.

"Can I know how valuable a Buddha statue is?" Coulson asked intentionally or unintentionally after closing the box.

"Equivalent to the value of your soul!" Ellis smiled at the corner of his mouth and said deliberately ambiguously.

After getting such an unclear answer, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Ellis, Coulson really wanted to beat him to death, which was no different from not saying anything.

Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't help it, but at this time, Melinda had an idea, took out a photo, and asked, "Can the value of the Buddha statue save his life?" ”

"Councilor Kelly?" Ellis asked curiously after glancing at the photo.

"That's right, Councillor Kelly!" Coulson nodded, not surprised that Ellis recognized Kelly at a glance.

After all, because of his disappearance and the mutant registration bill, Congressman Kelly appears on the news every day, and as long as he is not blind, he knows his existence.

Ellis was curious because he remembered that in the movie, after Kelly escaped with shit, he went to the X-Men instead of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But with a little thought, Ellis understood.

The place where Councilor Kelly turned to for help should be Xavier's School for Geniuses, but with their medical technology, they can't save Kelly's life.

Professor X didn't want the mutants and the government to have a more unpleasant quarrel because of Kelly's death, so he chose to contact Nick Fury of the Skinhead Alliance.

Then there was the visit of Coulson and Melinda today.

Although I don't understand why Professor X didn't come to Jiang's pawnshop directly, but let S.H.I.E.L.D. come forward, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he has to earn again.

"Pawning the Buddha statue can be exchanged for a 20-year extension of Congressman Kelly's life, are you willing?" After figuring out the bends inside, Ellis said widely.

Ellis did learn badly, and although Councilor Kelly was transformed into a pseudo-mutant, he was a worse test subject than the failure to awaken the X gene and leave a flaw on his body.

In addition to almost dying because of this, in essence, he is still an ordinary person, so 20 years of life is worth 20 profit points.

With this single pawn, his profit was as high as 80 points.

"Yes!" Coulson made another eye contact with Melinda before agreeing.

After receiving the reply, Ellis handed over a contract that appeared out of thin air under the surprised eyes of the two of them, and said, "This is a pawn contract, after signing the name of any of you, this pawn will take effect!" ”

"How do I sign it?" After taking the contract, finding that there was no pen, Coulson asked.

"Feel free!"

Originally, Ellis got some inspiration from Yoshioka Shin's bloody handprint, and planned to try to see if the signing of the pawn contract was not limited to formality, and as long as the customer who made the pawn accepted it in his heart, it would take effect.

Who knew that Coulson actually took out a fountain pen from the pocket of his suit, and signed his name with a few brushstrokes, which made Ellis's eyelids jump in anger!

"Boss Jiang, I've signed the contract, I don't know when Councilor Kelly will recover?" After putting away the pen, Coulson looked straight at Ellis.

"Now that the pawn is complete, Councilor Kelly is naturally fine, if you have any questions, please call for verification!" Ellis took a sip of his coffee and said confidently.

'Ding Ding'

Just then a text message came from Coulson's phone, and he picked it up and looked at it, stunned.

Then he swallowed his saliva and said to Melinda, who was watching him next to him, "Okay, all the symptoms on my body are gone!" ”
