223 Gwen's thoughts
Located on the southwest side of the Gulf of Mexico, Veracruz is the largest port on the east coast of Mexico and is known as Mexico's "Gateway to the East". Built on the beach in 1519, it is the oldest city in this country of colonial descent, one of the richest places not only in terms of nature, culture, history, but also beautiful beaches, mountains, jungles and forests.
Passing through rivers and mountains, you can enjoy the subtropical atmosphere of this place. Extreme sports and eco-tourism are the most attractive activities in this place, many people like to float here, and many ancient ruins can be seen along the river, witnessing countless historical lives.
The arrival of the Spanish colony, the invasion of foreign countries and the flight of Díaz, many important events have left their mark on history.
But for those who care, a mysterious pyramid in the dense rainforest is the purpose of their trip.
Not long ago, a big man gave the signal for a summons, and many people in the wizarding world gathered here.
"It's a majestic building, it's rare to be so well preserved." A middle-aged and elderly man wearing a white loose robe and a small white hat walked up to the pyramid and exclaimed.
"Yes, I can't be rude when I come to this kind of place, I have to wash off my sweat and dust, and then change into clean robes." The bald young man, dressed in a shabby yellow robe and wearing a gold ring on his arm, also agreed with the Egyptians.
There were already a few people in front of them, some who looked like ordinary people, nothing more than black skin, red heads or yellow faces, and some who were covered in blue, they came from the lost world of Atlantis.
The magicians formed small circles of their own, exchanged ideas or materials, and waited with good patience. Until the convener arrives.
"Behold, he is coming." A thin black man holding a bone staff suddenly shouted, and people looked over at his voice. Sure enough, the man in the red cloak appeared.
"Really, Doctor Strange."
“。”
See the convener. The magicians who didn't know each other were whispering, and acquaintances had already rushed to the front to talk to the big man.
"Hello, Thord. I didn't expect you to leave Wanda Mountain too. Derichs: Are they okay? Doctor Strange Stephen greeted his friends by holding their hands cordially.
"We're all fine, Doctor, and Drechs will be there soon." Friend Todd held Stephen's hand tightly and shook it vigorously a few times before letting go.
"This is a friend from Atlantis, that one is Ian, and we call him the King of Golden Nightmares."
Todd introduced Stephen. Ian hurried over to shake Stephen's hand.
"Doctor Strange's name has spread throughout the wizarding world, and I'm honored to finally meet you." Ian, who had just come of age, said with a respectful expression, and Stephen smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"It's an honor for me, sir."
His words were like a warm wind, deeply touching the young mage, but some were surprised by his attitude.
"This is Strange, the Supreme Mage? I don't think that's what he looks like. The Egyptian priest said to the yellow-robed monk, feeling a little incredible.
"Looks like what he wants us to do must be terrible." The monk finally changed his clothes and bowed deeply towards the pyramid. At the same time, put your hands together in front of your chest.
Whatever he was going to do, since he chose to come, he had to see what he wanted to say first—that is what most rational mages decide.
At this time. Stephen came to the high platform in front of the pyramid and thanked the people below.
"Everyone, welcome." He glanced at the crowd below and nodded in greeting. "It's been centuries since I've seen a gathering on this scale, and it's gratifying to have so many people listening to my call."
The mages were all looking at him, and Stephen continued.
"I see doubt in your eyes. Why are you calling us, what are you doing here?' I would like to sue you. Our world is facing a great threat, and someone who is not part of our world is trying to change our world. He will cause us immeasurable damage, I tried to stop him, but he slipped away, when I realized that a person's strength is limited, I called to everyone, I asked people who have faith in themselves to help me and remove hidden dangers for our world. ”
Doctor Strange said it above, and the discussion began below.
"Who can fight Doctor Strange who hunts down vampires?" The reclusive African shamans rarely leave their tribes, and he was a little curious.
"I know who it is, it's Magneto, the leader of the mutants, and they were on TV not long ago fighting over New York." His friend, who had been in contact with humans a lot, was now looking ugly when he heard Stephen's words.
Some people don't want to meddle in the battle between mages and mutants, but some people can't wait to show themselves.
"I'm joining!" Ian, who was young-looking, raised his hand and shouted. "I've flown thousands of miles across the Atlantic, I'm not here to fly back, I'm willing to fight alongside the Doctor!"
Ian's cousin xiàn6 continued to arouse the courage of several people, most of them were juniors with low mana, not as cunning as their predecessors who had lived for a long time, and were willing to take risks in order to help the big guys.
Thord was a little skeptical, he knew that Stephen and Professor Xavier had an unknown relationship, what had to be such a big fight? He tried to convince him, but Doctor Strange insisted, and in the end he had no choice but to raise his hand in agreement.
Finally, as the elder mage watches on, Stephen leaves with his new team, and a battle between magicians and mutants is soon ensuing.
The scene in the Veracruz rainforest freezes in time, and with a flicker of light, a reading room in the small town of Westchester restores tranquility.
"You're just watching him use your identity to trick people everywhere?" The bald old man sat on the sand and looked at the other side with a smile.
Opposite him, there was another strange doctor Stephen in a tuxedo, but this one had a deeper look in his eyes and a deeper bearing.
"Frankly, what this impostor said was actually what I was thinking. It is rare to agree on this point. With all due respect, Charles: your heir's hand is so stretched out that fingerprints are left everywhere. ”
"That's the choice of young people. I have decided not to interfere with the fate of others anymore. The professor was noncommittal about his old friend's evaluation, and let go of his hand. He felt lighter than ever—though he couldn't help but feel lost.
"Okay, then let's see what these guys who can make me look like this are trying to do." Doctor Strange half-closed his eyes and leaned back against the sand.
The professor shook his head, he didn't want to say anything about Eric's actions. As a sign of respect for his friends, he usually doesn't use his powers to get into their heads, so he was tricked that day by someone posing as Stephen and later saw the battle live on TV. Knowing his old friend well, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he probed into the existing problem, and then Dr. Strange entered the academy to observe the follow-up exhibition with him.
With Eric's ability, it's hard for the impostor to rally everyone to really hurt him, but hopefully nothing happens this time.
Slowly moving his wheelchair, the professor came to the floor-to-ceiling window, where dozens of mutant junior students were moving around the playground.
Since he founded this academy, the popularity has been so strong, and the children are running freely under the leadership of Auroro and Wanda, which makes him feel the youthful vitality that he has not felt for a long time.
Looking through the glass into the campus. The professor smiled.
At this time, in the office in Manhattan, the beautiful daughter of the police station raised her hands high. Stretching his slender waist, he took a few deep breaths comfortably.
It's already January, and school will start in a few days, and it won't be until early March that the state university will have another twenty days or so of spring break.
Gwen was reluctant to think about going back to school soon—it was a place of calm and comfort, a grand palace high above the sky, a special wine that you couldn't think of outside, and a constant sight for the city.
Of course, the most important thing is its owner.
As the daughter of a powerful local person, and an excellent student who is highly regarded by her teachers, she does not participate in social activities during this long vacation. I don't work as an assistant to busy teachers in the university research room, but I come to the mutant's office to work as a secretary. This choice was not only strange to Gwen's classmates and friends, but also her mother and brother.
In this matter. Perhaps Mary Jane had more to say.
Gwen is a little amused when she thinks of the small-town girl who came out of Forest Hill in Queens, and their relationship can be described as intricate.
It's not surprising that the girl was a little jealous of herself at Osborne's birthday party, Gwen often saw this kind of affection from people of the same sex, but she never cared, and it was the same this time. Normally, Gwen would soon forget about the country girl, who disappeared into Stacy's life as if she had never appeared, but the experience of being in distress with her father changed that fate.
Class criminals can only be subdued by level heroes, and in an emergency, it was Eric who fell from the sky to save the father and daughter. Since then, there seems to be an invisible thread linking Stacey to this place, and she often visits through her classmates with Peter, and learns a lot from Mary Jane, who loves to ignore her.
Eric had a plan, he didn't hide it from Mary Jane, and he certainly didn't hide it from himself. Gwen doesn't care about this, powerful people are born destined to do their own thing, and not everyone has to be like her classmate Peter.
Gwen knew very well what she was thinking, and she also understood that her father's work needed Eric's support, so when Mary Jane, who had seen through her heart's desire, asked candidly, she did not hesitate to agree, and then replaced the country girl who went to Stark for training to become the closest person to Eric.
Although he always rejects people with a smile, Gwen and Mary Jane, like her, will not give up.
Walking to the window and taking a warm breath against the glass, Gwen stretched out her fingertips and drew a small heart shape on the mist, and suddenly laughed silently. (To be continued)
