In the ward of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller was making rounds when a nurse came in and said, "Dr. Schiller, Mr. Strange's appointment is almost up, do you want to go and wait for him?" ”

"Okay, I'll go right away, sorry, sir, I'll go first."

Schiller nodded to the two men in the room and walked out, to the glass-floored reception area on the second floor of the complex, where Strange was already waiting, apparently through a portal.

Schiller walked over and handed the notebook to the nurse, who, after the nurse left, sat down on the couch across from Strange and asked, "What's wrong?" I had to call to make an appointment so late last night, is there anything urgent? ”

Strange frowned, touched his eyebrows with his fingers, and said: "It's not a big deal, the main thing is that I don't understand a little, you asked Loki to instigate Thanos to deal with himself in another universe and snatch the resources of another universe Thanos." ”

Strange sighed softly, changed his posture and said: "To be honest, I'm not afraid of the Infinity Stones, nor am I afraid that Thanos of our universe will get the Infinity Gauntlet, after all, Emperor Weishan has been pulled into the game by us, and your relationship with Eternal is also destined for our Thanos of the universe to have no chance to snap his fingers." ”

"But those territories, subordinates, and resources are the most deadly, if he can really move the dark quadrant of that universe back, he will definitely be a big threat to human civilization in the future, maybe immediately."

"Of course, Schiller, I know you may have any follow-up arrangements, but I think this step is a bit risky, Thanos is only a temporary ally, and the potential is endless, once he has a solid foundation, we will be in trouble."

Schiller tilted his head slightly, signaling that he understood, and as soon as he wanted to stand up and get his wine, Strange waved his hand and said, "I'm quitting drinking, let's have some tea, I just brought it from the Himalayas." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, took out a clay pot, and several teacups appeared out of thin air, falling steadily on the table, "bang, la", steaming water rushed into the cup, and the tea leaves floated around.

Schiller picked up the teacup and blew it lightly, and said, "Of course, I can understand your concern, although the speed of human development is fast, but the foundation is unstable, and Thanos has infinite potential. ”

"But I'm still doing this to maintain balance, and the territory and population are not only a help, but also a tie for Thanos."

Hearing this, Strange's brow widened slightly, as long as Schiller had a plan, he repeated the word and said, "...... Entanglement? ”

"That's right, now among the three parties of humans, Asgard and Thanos, only Thanos is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, he is alone, nothing, although he looks the weakest overall, but he can pose a big threat to us."

"The essence of it lies in the fact that humans and Asgard have territories and territories, and the strong among humans and Asgard are certainly not afraid of Thanos, but if he wants to make trouble, send a few human bombs to the earth today, and calculate the Asgardian fleet that will go out on patrol tomorrow, we can't do nothing and catch him all over the world, right?"

"Like a man-sama?" Strange had some realization.

Schiller took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "That's right, just like Lord Man, is Lord Man strong?" In fact, not necessarily, just the agents of the Spear Bureau are enough to deal with him, not to mention his repeated sideways jumping between the Spear Bureau and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, with his strength, he should have died a long time ago. ”

"But the reason why he can live to this day is because he is just a fly, and humans will only think of fighting flies when they are free, and when they are busy working overtime, no one can delay their work for a fly."

"Although the earth is calm on the surface now, but all countries are secretly competing, everyone knows that the early stage of entering the interstellar society is the best bonus period, don't hurry up and seize the time to develop and eat the cake, and divert your attention to fight flies, isn't it stupid?"

"It's the same with Thanos, if he hides alone in the vast sea of stars, we don't even have a target, but if he also has his own territory and population like Asgard and humans, then before he does anything, he has to think about whether his country will be hit."

"Oh, I see." Strange nodded and said: "A fugitive who has no scruples will naturally be full of tricks, just like the Manchurians, but any serious country is now immersed in development, and wants to keep up with the trend, even if he secretly makes a little stumbling block for others, he doesn't dare to make too much trouble, otherwise in addition to delaying his own development, public opinion is also a problem." ”

"The Manchurian himself is notorious, I don't know how many countries are wanted, and most of his subordinates are fugitives and poachers, unaccompanied, not afraid of anything, and what we have to do is not let Thanos become like this, let him not become a terrorist, but a country worthy of the name."

"After joining the interstellar society, it is equivalent to joining the order side, enjoying the richness and stability brought by the order, naturally he must abide by the rules, and he can't come nonsense, although this gives him the opportunity to develop, but it can indeed greatly reduce his danger."

Schiller nodded, affirming Strange's train of thought, and said, "In a sense, kings are much easier to deal with than killers, at least for our group. ”

"Another point is that the Infinity Stones cannot be used across the universe, and Thanos' subordinates should have died almost in the war, and the only thing that is more valuable is the territory and the resources that Thanos accumulated before, to be honest, this is a bit pitiful." Schiller shook his head and blew on the tea.

"But Thanos has no choice, it's not difficult to accumulate from one to ten, but he has to have this one first, he knows that humans and Asgard are guarding against him, and they will definitely guard against him, and they won't let him accumulate capital easily, this is probably his only chance."

"He knows that we are taking advantage of the fire to rob, and with only a little land and resources, we want to exchange him for a lot of promises, but he must seize this only opportunity, so even if the things are shabby, he must go."

"He's willing to pay a lot of money for this opportunity, and he also has weaknesses, so why not?"

Strange nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing......" Strange touched his sideburns and said, "Do you remember Latvia, which you called 'Strange Little Country'?" ”

Schiller's action of blowing tea paused, and as soon as this familiar name appeared, he naturally thought of a person, that is, the famous Dr. Doom in the comics, who is also the monarch of Latvia.

Doctor Doom is familiar to many people, he is a fairly famous villain in Marvel Comics, he was born in a small Eastern European country, his mother was a gypsy witch, so he learned about magic from a young age.

After going to university, disfigured by an accident and disheartened, he returned to his hometown and founded Latvia, where he became the ruler and dictator.

Dr. Doom's greatest characteristic is his ability to use both technology and magic, and at the same time, he has always wanted to save his mother's soul from hell.

Schiller put down his teacup, looked up at Strange and said, "Latvia? …… Oh, I remember, was it the country that sent a robot to the Holy of Holies last time and said it was going to make a deal with Mephisto? How's their deal going? ”

"I was about to say this." Strange put down the teacup, wiped his mouth and said: "The king of this small country is called Doom, his mother is a gypsy witch, and his soul was taken away by Mephisto, Doom wants to make a deal with the Lord of Hell to get his mother back, but Mephisto is determined not to let go." ”

Schiller frowned and said, "Why?" Isn't it just a human soul? Is Latvia out of money? But I remember, they are quite technologically advanced, and they seem to be on par with Wakanda? ”

"You've got to the point again." Strange showed a wry smile and said: "Latvian technology is very advanced, and they even have some magic technology, but the situation in their country has just stabilized, and there are not many energy reserves, and their monarch Doom must get more energy in order to make a deal with Mephisto." ”

"This Doom didn't know where he heard that the leopard god of Wakanda could do business, so he went to Wakanda to seek a deal, but I don't know why, the two parties didn't talk about it, and they fought."

"This Doom is also a good hand at fighting, and he directly beat the king of Wakanda, the black panther, and the leopard god couldn't stand it anymore, so he came out to fight, but he also beat the leopard god, and the leopard god was so frightened by him that he couldn't come out."

"The animal god itself is part of the African god system, and now the major god systems are short of people, and the leopard god is hiding at home, and his colleagues, that is, the lions, snakes, fish and birds we have seen before, are almost exhausted."

"Yesterday the lion approached me and asked me to give them a verdict that Doom was a robber who was blocking the road and that he had to compensate them for mental damages."

Schiller also covered his forehead with a wry smile, what is the matter?

But he was still more concerned about Doom's situation, so he asked, "Did Doom get the energy he wanted?" ”

"I got it, the lion didn't wronged him, after Dom knocked the leopard god over, he pulled a handful of hair from his tail, the leopard god didn't want to go out to meet people, mainly because he thought his tail was bald and too ugly."

"So he changed back to his mother?"

"Why!" Strange sighed deeply and said, "It's true that his mother is an Eastern European gypsy witch, but witches also have to eat, and his mother was an auditor of the former Soviet arsenal when she was alive. ”

"Mephisto secretly touches the soul of talents in the field of finance from the earth every day, Doom is a pacesetter in hell business, the leader of the quarterly tax settlement team, how could Mephisto let go?!"

"Mephisto has already spoken, if you want to rob his dear employee, you have to step over his corpse, my God, who can beat him?"

Schiller slapped him on the head.
