Tony left S.H.I.E.L.D. with a pained and unwilling expression. Lin Xuan temporarily suppressed his symptoms for him. But the symptoms are not cured, because the entanglement that originates from the depths of the soul will eventually break through the blockade and return to his ears and eyes. Tony won't have any chance at that point.

"Is there really no way?" Nick Fury asked. In his eyes, Tony Stark is an important asset to S.H.I.E.L.D. The value of his mind is not just a business empire, but an important part of S.H.I.E.L.D. to stay ahead of the technological curve. So, he still wants to fight for Tony.

"Of course there are ways, but it requires the consumption of something extremely precious. Why should I use it on him? None of those things can be bought with money. He can't come up with anything of the equivalent exchange. ”

"So you just watched him die?"

"Yes, what's the problem? Or is there a rule in this world that Tony Stark can't die? Thousands of people die every day in this world, and no one cares about him. The world runs the same without everyone, doesn't it? ”

"But you said that when he dies, he will be a slave to the devil."

"There are also thousands of slaves who have fallen into demons. What qualifications does he have, he deserves to be exceptional. ”

Fury was speechless, in his eyes, or in the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark is undoubtedly an extremely important target. But in Lin Xuan's eyes, there was obviously nothing special. After all, Lin Xuan was a magician. Tony, on the other hand, is a scientist, and the two don't seem to have much in common.

He wanted to say something more. But Lin Xuan stood up and left his office.

"I'll take care of some personal matters first." Without much explanation. Lin Xuan left directly. Because at this time, Lin Xuan received a message from Loki.

"Who the hell are you?" There was a hidden deep pain, unwillingness, anger, and other complex emotions in Loki's tone. Apparently he had discovered his true identity.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that you have verified what I said, so it's time to fulfill the promise. ”

Loki's clone looked at Lin Xuan expressionlessly for a long time, and finally took out a ball of flames. Not an illusion, but a real, flame taken from the eternal fire. It seems that the doppelganger in front of you is not a phantom, but a kind of physical clone. Loki apparently possessed some sort of secret passage from Asgard to Earth outside of the Rainbow Bridge. Its clone threw the Eternal Flame to Lin Xuan.

"I know you must have other news, and I'm interested right now. Let's talk about it. I will not treat you badly. ”

Lin Xuan took the Eternal Flame and felt the magic power contained in it. It was then sealed using sealing. After the Eternal Flame leaves the Tinder, it will soon experience a decay of mana. Finally, it transforms into a normal flame, so it needs to be sealed using a special method.

"I do have some news that you might be interested in. But as with the previous news, it may not be the outcome you want to know. ”

"Tell me about it. I'll pay you enough. ”

"Then I'll tell you directly, what do you think of your father, the god king's physical condition?"

"My father is in some decline. But there are still long years waiting for him. ”

"Really? Do you really think so? Lin Xuan looked at Loki with a smile, he didn't believe Loki hadn't noticed.

"What do you want to say?"

"What I wanted to say, you've already guessed. You're a magician, and you're much more observant than your brother. So, you've noticed Odin's condition, right? ”

"I'm getting more and more curious. These things are the secret things of Asgard. How do you know? Even if you are an outsider, this is not true. Who are you? Or rather, what is it? ”

"It's not as complicated as you think, Prince Loki. I'm a human magician, that's all. I know these things only because I once saw a little bit of the future by chance. ”

"Just a little? I think you know enough? ”

"In fact, it's not enough."

"Do you know what the consequences of what you just said will be?"

"Theoretically, it should be a fatal disaster. But I don't think His Royal Highness the Prince will do it. Am I right? ”

"Hehe, I know what you're trying to say? The battle for the crown prince, are you trying to invest in advance? I thought most people would be optimistic about my brother. After all, he is famous in the Nine Worlds. ”

"That's true, and in a sense I'm more optimistic about him. But I have always believed in an old creed. Sending charcoal in the snow can impress others more than icing on the cake. ”

"Hehe, that's a word of wisdom, but the question is, what can you do to help me? IMHO, even if your Magic Council were to be fully mobilized, it wouldn't be powerful enough to sway the crown prince battle in Asgard. So, if you don't have the principal, how can you invest? ”

"It's just a personal investment for me. I can't really help you either. But you and I both know that if the final battle for the crown prince is to be resolved by force, it will be a disaster for the Nine Worlds. Therefore, after all, other methods must be used to determine the winner or loser. ”

"Sounds like you're pretty sure."

"Actually, no. And you won't like this plan. ”

Lin Xuan got the Eternal Flame he wanted, while Loki left with a full stomach full of entanglements. Something is going on along the plot step by step. And some things have quietly changed in the shadows.

Lin Xuan left S.H.I.E.L.D., and at this time, Nick Fury also received the news. The Cosmic Cube is gone. He deeply forgot to glance at Lin Xuan's background, and finally held back.

"I see. Starting today, cancel the dark energy program. All personnel were returned to standby. Fury gave the order with a blank face. And then Coulson came over again and gave him a rather strange news.

"Sir, I want to be sure of one thing. Of course, this may involve some confidentiality, but I still think it should be confirmed. How much underground space is there at the bottom of the Triple Wing Building? If that's not against the rules, I'd like to know the truth. ”

"I remember that your clearance was sufficient, there were five floors of underground space in total. Did you drink too much last night? ”

"No, I didn't drink last night, and we might be facing a rather troublesome problem." Coulson said with a strange expression.
