Chapter 417: Art and Old Objects
In the scorching desert, a well-armed "expedition" is moving slowly.
"What the hell is the weather...... Hey! Chief! What are we here to do in Egypt? ”
“…… This time we are looking for the tomb of the ancient Egyptian high priest Immorton, from where we can find the Bible of the Dead, and then use it to find the capital of the dead......" Before the leader could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the person who had just asked questions.
"Hey! Chief! You're talking about the return of the mummy! I've seen it! Don't try to lie to me......"
"Hahahaha......" the rest of the team laughed.
After laughing, these people also shouted at the captain: "That's right! Captain! We've been here for days, and you're still not telling us the truth! How can we work with peace of mind......"
"Hmm......" The captain of the team pondered for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "Our mission this time is indeed a bit incredible...... We're looking for a mutant from 2,000 years ago! This mutant had been worshipping like a god in Egypt back then! And our goal is to find this guy's body and bring him back......"
"Chief, are you sure a corpse can last for two thousand years?"
"What's impossible?! Aren't those mummies that? Besides, what's so strange about being involved with that group of freaks...... Come on! According to intelligence, this guy's mausoleum is near Cairo! If we can't find any ruins in the vicinity, we'll have to go into the city and look for it......" Under the captain's reprimand, everyone obediently closed their mouths and searched with various instruments as they went.
However, knowing that the area had been searched, the group did not get any clues or information.
"Boss! We're not really going to go into the city to find it, are we? That would definitely be targeted by the S.H.I.E.L.D. ......"
"So let's hurry! Complete your search before S.H.I.E.L.D. finds out! The captain whispered a sigh and led his men in the direction of Cairo, praying in his heart that they would not be discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. men.
But what he didn't know was that just above them, a small optical camouflage spaceship was hovering there, and the target of the people inside was them.
“…… Everybody! Do you have any thoughts on what they said earlier? Glancing at the crowd, Captain America asked for their opinions.
"Mutant corpses from two thousand years ago...... Was he still regarded as a god by the people of his time? I'm suddenly starting to wonder if the main characters in myths around the world are all mutants......" Agent Hawkeye Patton was the first to speak after being questioned by the American team, revealing his skepticism about the matter.
"You forgot about the group of people in the North Pole......" The Black Widow widow reminded Hawkeye and then said to the American team, "Although what Barton said just now is a little flawed, I have the same attitude as him in this matter...... Are these true? Mutants from 2,000 years ago? If I'm not mistaken, there's substantial evidence that mutants existed around 1890, right? It's the wolf in X Academy...... But you're telling me now that there were mutants 2,000 years ago? So why didn't the mutants at that time enslave us humans all the time? But it has been silent, until around World War II, it has appeared in front of the world? ”
Hearing Hawkeye and Black Widow's questioning, and seeing the question in the eyes of other teammates, the American team paused before speaking again: "I can't answer this question for you...... But there's one thing you should not forget! Master Ancient One, the Supreme Mage who guards the earth and humanity, has lived for more than five hundred years! And she is not the only one, nor the first Supreme Mage! Maybe it's because she and people like her exist, so humans aren't enslaved by mutants! And also...... This is the intelligence that Nikovry just transmitted......" As he spoke, the US team operated a few times on the LCD panel in front of him, and everyone else on the spacecraft received the information sent by Nikovry.
However, unlike everyone else who was looking at the information, Tony Stark, who was also in the spaceship, did not look at the information, but looked at the American team with a serious face, and then said a little irritably: "You summoned us here for this?" Do you know you're wasting my time? I don't care if that 2,000-year-old mutant exists, or if it's alive or dead...... It doesn't even make sense to me! Instead of that, I should be working in the lab on how to improve Jarvis's performance so that Ultron doesn't completely take over the network! As for this matter, you should go to the X-Men! Or just find a way to contact Boss Nan! I'm sure even that guy from 2,000 years ago is a mutant and not dead...... It's just a small role in front of Sinan...... All in all, you shouldn't have brought me in! ”
"That's right! I think he's right......" As soon as Tony's words fell, a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the side: "Captain! I think this guy is right! There's no point in you looking for him...... This guy is just a piece of rubbish! Outside of his armor, it's completely useless! Why don't you just let him go back to his lab and figure out how to fix the mess he made himself......"
"Enough!" The American team snorted, and at the same time stared at the man who spoke just now with serious and solemn eyes: "Pietro! I remember talking about it very well! You also promised me that you would not do such a thing that destroys unity at will! Can ...... now Anyway, I don't want a next time! ”
“…… I'm sorry! The man known as Pietro by the American team shrugged his shoulders and apologized to the American team without much sincerity after a slight silence for a short while.
"Pietro......" A young woman beside Pietro looked at the people around her worriedly, and couldn't help but reach over and gently squeeze Pietro's hand, as if to comfort Pietro.
"I'm fine, Wanda......" Pietro responded to the woman next to him, calming his mood, but never looked at Tony, who should have apologized.
And seeing Pietro's performance, the American team also had a headache in their hearts. But he also knew that the situation was the best at the moment, and as for wanting Pietro to apologize to Tony...... I'm afraid this will make this newly grown team fall apart immediately!
So, the American team had no choice but to cast an apologetic look at their good friends, and at the same time sighed in their hearts, but they had to cheer up to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene.
"That's it! Let's move on to this antique mutant...... Anyway, I'm finally qualified to say that others are antiques......"
"Nope! How do people say that it is also a work of art that has lasted for 2,000 years! And you're just an old thing that should be eliminated in the thrift market......"
"......" heard someone's sharp poisonous tongue, and while the American team wanted to hit someone, their hearts were slightly relaxed. After all, being able to spray "venom" means that someone's mood has been adjusted at this time, and it also gives the American team a little hope for this operation......
"There shouldn't be any problems with this operation......
