"Listen, Luke, I have to talk to you seriously." After the meeting, Nick, who returned to the atrium, stopped Luke, Strange and the others, and asked with a serious face.

"Does it matter? You know we've got a bunch of things to take care of right now. Especially Strange them. Luke looked at Nick and then at Strange.

"Of course it is." Nick emphasized. "I'm here for Strange."

"Okay, okay, what do you want to say?" Seeing that the three of Strange had no objection, Luke had to temporarily find a nearby venue to serve as a place to talk about things.

"With this dimensional invasion, I think it is necessary to strengthen the defenses of our planet once again. Whether it's new technology, or people. Nick got straight to the point.

"It was just an accident, Mr. Fury." The Mage King smiled awkwardly when he saw Nick's gaze. "Besides, we've already settled the matter. You know, this time is the exception, dimensional invasions that don't normally happen in reality. ”

"But this time a lot of people saw it." Nick spread his hands: "S.H.I.E.L.D. spent a lot of tongue and intelligence, and used all the official forces, which only suppressed this invasion as an excuse for alien invasion. But we all know that this is not true. Those dimensional demon gods are far more dangerous than the alien invasion. ”

"It's a special case, and you're in the meeting. It should be known that this is a test for Strange by the Ancient One. Whether he passes or not, the safety of the atrium is guaranteed. Mordo expressed dissatisfaction with Nick's referential words, although Nick did not accuse him by name, but the attitude extended from his tone and eyes could easily make those present understand that the other party was accusing the mages of [dereliction of duty] this time.

Strange and Mage King can communicate with Nick calmly, he is not the same. From the beginning to the end, he was reluctant to have too much contact with the authorities.

"That's where we disagree. I can't accept that our security should be based on a trial of heirs. I think maybe there's a better way. Nick pursed his lips and said with a serious expression, "We don't know if there will be any real accidents that could lead to a trial turning into the beginning of a tragedy." Those dimensional demon gods are dangerous. ”

"We know better than you the dangers of those dimensional gods. What you know, and what little information you have, is what we told you. Are you going to bring it over and teach us now? Mordo squinted his eyes and replied to Nick-for-tat. This incident seems to have been an accident, but it has been under the control of the Ancient One Mage from beginning to end. As always. Perhaps you should have a little faith in the Supreme Master. After all, before you were born, she had been protecting the planet for hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years. How do you think the creatures of the dark dimension that once raged and lived, those dangerous dark magic items, those demons and monsters that lived in your writings?

If they hadn't disappeared, you might still be living in the precarious days of the gods, at the bottom of the hierarchy. Not to mention becoming the master of this planet and developing civilized technology. You should be in awe of the Supreme Master! ”

"I respect the contribution of the Ancient One Mage to this planet, and I don't have any thoughts about you, but if I can, strengthen our defenses and share some of your pressure, I don't think it is a question and blasphemy against the Supreme Mage." Nick calmly fired back at Mordo's words.

"How are you going to share the burden? With your mortal armies and weapons? IMHO, the only thing that can fight magic is magic. Mordo also spoke plainly and cruelly about a fact.

Nick was silent. It was true that he had not really experienced how powerful magic really was, but he also knew the magic and power of magic. He would love to have his agents go to Kama Taj for a while to learn magic, but given the attitude of the other side, he may not be able to accept his offer. So he set his eyes on Luke, who was holding his cheeks on the side.

"I think I can leave this to Luke, I believe that his technique can be used to turn magic into equipment and apply it to ordinary people."

"The power of magic is hard to master, and even if Luke did, would the world really be safer? I guess it's only going to get worse! I can't believe that some of you, those careerists who have mastered the power of magic, are a disaster for the world. We don't have the energy to help you deal with the mess when the time comes. Mordo frowned, thinking that Nick was too whimsical.

Democratizing magic?

It's impossible!

But it's still possible to engrave some magic on some kind of technology on the supernatural equipment, so that ordinary people can barely grasp it. At least with Luke in the lead, this is not unlikely.

After all, among the equipment that Luke led to create, many of its power and utility effects are not inferior to some of Kama Taj's magical equipment. In the words of the ancient one, after the other party mastered the magical knowledge of Kama Taj, its manufacturing technology no longer cares about magic and technology. Even the other party has extended a set of ways to combine magic and technology.

Strange and the Mage King also felt that Nick's proposal was a bit whimsical. Even if Luke could do it, so what? Whether it's magic or Luke's technique, it takes a lot of high-latitude or high-quality energy to support it.

In the past, what limited mages was the difficulty of obtaining energy and the mind. If the mind is not persistent and tenacious enough, and rashly comes into contact with those dimensional energies, it will soon be eroded and affected, which will not only bring danger to oneself, but also bring great risks to the world in which it is located. After all, whether it is the power of the dimensional demon god or the power of the ownerless dimensional space, if one is not maintained well, it will bring a series of unpredictable serious consequences.

Now, with Luke's new energy, it makes it much easier for mages to access it and provides a relatively safe and gentle supply of energy. From this point of view, it is inevitable that the number of mages will increase. But that doesn't mean that new energy can be squandered indefinitely.

At the suggestion of the Ancient One, Kama Taj had already begun to prepare accordingly. As one of the authorities of the new energy, the mages were able to observe the increase index of the new energy such as the Nine Realms of the Atrium, and deduce from this amount that this energy share could supply the daily consumption of how many mages could be consumed.

Mages will not give up on borrowing power from other dimensions, but with a more convenient and secure supply of energy, mages who use new energy will inevitably become mainstream over time.

In other words, the share distribution of new energy is still not enough for everyone at present, and the mages don't care about anything else, but if Nick wants to participate in the grabbing of food, they can't control other people's shares, but the mage's share can't be robbed.

Under the premise that the new energy share cannot satisfy all the existing allocators, it can almost be seen as a joke to reach everyone. Even if the share of new energy is enough, who would have too much energy, which is linked to strength? After all, how much new energy grows, the share of the cake of the mages and other distributors is also increasing.

"I understand that Fury wants to increase your strength to avoid being powerless in the event of a similar incident again. We support your ideas as long as you can solve all the problems faced during the implementation process. The Mage King added implicitly.

Nick understood his implication.

What you want, it's up to you. If all the hassle and process is solved without harming the interests of others, then they will not do anything.

Nick rubbed his swollen and aching head, he had thought beforehand that the process of communication would be troublesome and complicated, but he didn't expect that it would be just a beginning, and it would attract resistance and vigilance from the mages. He couldn't help but look at Luke, who was watching from the sidelines.

"The opinion is good, I support! Technology is not the problem. Luke gave Nick a reassurance, and then the next moment he smiled under his suddenly frozen expression: "As long as the money is in place!" ”

"It's for the safety of this planet and all those who live on it......"

"Whoever makes the suggestion is responsible for allocating the funds. I'm just a technology provider. Luke interrupted Nick and spread his hands. He never had the word "prostitute" in his dictionary.

Nick's words may be useful for Stark, who may really pay for the safety of the world with his own money and technology when he is moved. But Luke, whose hometown has been moved to his own dimension, will not be backed up.

"I need a loan." Nick took a deep breath. In any case, the importance of the safety of the world is his bottom line. On this premise, he can sacrifice and give everything. He didn't feel the dimensional invasion that only existed in words and words before, and there was the Supreme Mage Gu Yi. But this dimensional invasion really stimulated the sensitive bottom line in his heart, coupled with the retreat of the ancient mage, looking at the new Supreme Mage Strange who had just become a mage for not many years, which made him feel very insecure.

"No problem." Luke nodded.

The meeting broke up. Nick went to ask his immediate boss for a loan agreement. As the only organization in the world that can stably obtain new energy currency, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become the eyes of various countries behind the council, Nick Fury's power has become greater, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has received more resources and support, but correspondingly, the supervision of S.H.I.E.L.D. has naturally become stricter.

Especially in the area of new currency, although Nick still has a strong voice, it is difficult to make a final decision as before. Every new addition to the new currency and dimensional materials, every expenditure, is closely watched by the eyes of all parties, and there is a scramble to add a new layer of protective shell to the planet, and Nick also needs to obtain the permission and approval of the Council first, at least let the above solve the problem of their benefit distribution first.

Looking at Nick's back as he slumped away in a hurry because he was about to take on another heavy debt, Luke turned his head and shouted at Strange, who had opened the portal and had already stepped in with half a foot.

"Mage Strange."

"Anything else, Luke?" Strange turned his head calmly and met Luke's gaze. The mage king and Mo Du next to him looked at each other, as if they had flowers on each other's faces.

"My energy book." Luke reminded in a brisk tone.

So the bodies of the three Strange were the same as Nick's, and they all bowed slightly.

"I'll help you get it back." Strange grimaced, gritting his teeth in promise.

"How long is it?" Luke's tone was still brisk, and he didn't seem to see Strange's three of them, and asked.

"As soon as possible!" Strange felt a drum in his heart at the thought that he might have to enter the dark dimension again, and that he would have to face Dormammu's big face. Especially after knowing the fact that he seemed to pit the other party once in the end.

If Dormammu thinks he is the mastermind who threw poison into his dimension, how can he survive Dormammu's rage? You can't do it again in an infinite loop and compete with Dormammu for patience, right?

Although the next competition is patient, under the threat of abyssal energy, it should be you who wins?

If he was caught by Dormammu, he would confess Luke? Say he has a way to deal with those abyssal energies?

This seems to be arranged a little plainly!

The more Strange thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and not surprisingly, Luke must have obtained the permission of his teacher, the Ancient One, to do so, or at least it was a tacit acquiescence. He had just inherited the position of Supreme Mage, and he was under pressure and black cauldron that he shouldn't have endured.

"Let's talk about the cost of the time when the Book of Energy was lost." Luke's words caused the three of them to raise their heads in unison, looking at him in shock.

"Do you still need a fee?" Strange thinks Luke is targeting him! When his own teacher, Gu Yi, was here, the Book of Energy was given away for nothing, and he became the new Supreme Mage, and his ass was not even hot, so he had an extra expense.

The settlement fee must be the new currency, and although the mage is not short of such an expense, Luke will still feel distressed if the lion opens his mouth.

】

"Of course, this is a push fee. When you get the Book of Energy back, the urging fee will be returned. Luke felt that he still had a good time.

However, this sentence fell on the ears of the three Stranges, which is equivalent to a debt collection reminding you all the time, don't mess up, don't delay, don't think about getting by.

It is conceivable that it is Luke now, and in the future, Odin and Mephisto, and even their own teachers will join in.
