Chapter 42: Twelve seats, four deities

"Sounds like a lot." Diana patted Fisk's arm and motioned for the two to talk as they walked.

Fisk didn't refuse, and the two men began to move along the Metropolitan Museum's exhibits.

"Let's talk about this so-called raised table, preferably all you know. Let's see if there's any guy I'm familiar with. Diana suddenly thought of the gold coin from Odin in her hand.

One gold coin is worth a million dollars, but not all forces can handle it.

"The car you had before was actually a gift from a high table in a sense, otherwise no one would have sold it to you. After all, you're just a nobody in the dark world. Fisk stood still, facing a classic oil painting, The Card Player.

"It seems to be the organization behind the Continental Hotel." Diana followed Fiske's gaze and scanned CΓ©zanne's "The Card Player."

"Yes, but they definitely don't just run a killer organization." Fisk kept his hands on the man standing behind the player, "Like the man with a pipe in this painting, he wasn't directly involved, but he knew all the cards. The high table acts as the one who observes all, but they also play cards. ”

Diana didn't interrupt Fisk, just looked at the painting as well.

"This train of the world is not only a track of civilization, no train can run on a track, only civilization and darkness run at the same time, can ensure that the world does not derail. The people on this track have a surprising attachment and loyalty to the rules, or they are more loyal to the rules than civilization, the condensation of the will of the ruling class of the dark rails, known as the High Table, the members of the High Table make and manage the rules of the operation of the entire dark rails, and all the dark industries that are not accepted by the laws of civilization operate under the rules they set, and these two rails are like a sophisticated machine running according to the rules. Fisk said, "That's why I need to get into the high table, they make sure the dark world is working, I'm just the 'Golden Harmony' of New York, and now I can only be the 'Golden Harmony' of New York." ”

Diana began to walk around again, no longer staying there.

Fisk also began to move with Diana, following Diana like a hill.

"So what does this have to do with God?" Although the table was described by Fisk as a bit lofty, it was ultimately a human organization, and Diana was only concerned with whether they were related to Odin or other gods.

"They are hereditary, and since the advent of the high table, it has been hereditary." Fisk said to Diana, "Twelve seats, twelve families, each divided among four gods from different regions. ”

"Hindu gods."

"Egyptian gods."

"Norse gods."

"And the Greek gods."

When Diana heard the Norse gods, she understood why Odin would be the guest of honor at the Continental Hotel, but she never expected that the Greek gods of this world would appear.

"What about the great powers of the East?" Suppressing her doubts for a moment, Diana asked.

"There is no way for the high table to enter that continent, and in the same way, the gods of that continent seem to have no regard for this kind of thing at all." Fisk never felt that the Dark Rails could be there.

"So, Greek gods?" Diana finally asked the one thing she wanted to know the most.

"That's why I'm confident I can go to the high table to replace one of them, or even become a special thirteenth seat." Fisk set his eyes on Diana, "It's been a long time since the four seats of the Greek god system have received a response from the Greek gods, but. ”

Fisk leaned over and looked down at Diana: "Diana, the day you appeared in front of me, I started looking up your information. I have to say that there are indeed no flaws in the information made by S.H.I.E.L.D., but I still found clues, a comic book character? ”

Diana was indifferent to Fisk's words.

"But I don't care about that, I just know that you are a god, a Greek god."

"I'm technically a demigod." Diana smiled and said to Fisk that she had roughly understood what Fisk meant, which was nothing more than using her identity as a Greek god to get the high table.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're a Greek god, that's enough." Fisk said to Diana.

"Am I in any interest?" Diana didn't hear anything that might benefit her, "I might even be up to two old god systems because of this, after all, no one knows if they value this so-called high table." ”

Greek gods? No matter which universe they are, they are like drunken bears, not to mention that they are Greek demigods.

Northern Europe? Odin's son's treasure is still in his own hands.

Belch... It seems to have been thrown in the small building that was about to be demolished by Tony Stark.

Only India, as well as the old gods of Egypt, could clash with themselves.

"Maybe you can get an intelligence organization comparable to S.H.I.E.L.D., and a lot of funding. And I can guarantee that there won't be any bugs from the darkness bothering you where you appear. ”

"That's not enough, Fisk. It's not enough, it's two old gods, and that's not enough. Diana knew very well that it was easy for Fisk to have a place at the high table as long as she stepped forward, but these were not good things, "And isn't my life still very good?" ”

Fisk was silent, knowing full well that these things were at their fingertips for Diana.

"I don't know anything more to impress you, Diana." Fisk shook his head and said, "I can only know that this is only what the censors at the high table were brought in because of the blind expansion before. No one knows exactly what a high table can do, and no one knows how much power a high table can have. ”

"I can only promise you that when you need a high table, no matter what happens, the high table will be your most loyal subordinate." Fisk said to Diana seriously.

Diana stopped, and in front of her was an ancient temple.

The Temple of Dendur, the largest temple in the museum, is also known as the Temple of Dandur, which is the only complete ancient Egyptian temple outside of Egypt.

"I trust you, Fisk. At least we've had a good time working together. Diana said as she faced the temple.

"I came to this world to be actually very confused, I don't have to worry about anything, because this world has its own heroes, and they are enough to let this world through all the difficulties, so for a long time, I have no goal, I just want to live as an ordinary person like that." Diana said, looking up.

The eyes that looked at the temple were filled with blazing flames.

"I want to see if the gods of this world will be like my damn father, just a bunch of drunken and carnival garbage."

"I'm here to see if the gods of this world are true gods."

"So, Fisk..."

"I'm here to see God, and you're here to see people."

The first time Fisk saw this woman, it was no longer that indifferent look, but an inexplicable excitement and war.

"Happy working together, Diana." Fisk held out his hand to Diana.

Diana smiled and shook Fisk's hand.

"It's a pleasure to work with."
