Chapter 220: Ancient Ruins of the Dark Elves
The dark elf brother and sister did only bring some personal equipment, and in addition to bringing a pair of double blades each, the brother and sister each carried a bag and something similar to the ornament on their bodies.
"It's cold where we're going, is it really okay for you guys to look like this?" As Steve watched the siblings dress, he felt less like they were heading to the frigid Far North and more like heading to the sunny seaside to enjoy the sun.
"It doesn't matter, these pieces of equipment are designed to withstand the cold." Cecil pointed to the trinkets he was wearing, which seemed to be purely used to decorate and make his outfit more gorgeous, but in fact they were the most common warm items used by the dark elves.
"It looks good, it's beautiful and it's convenient." Knowing that his worries were unnecessary, Steve didn't say much to the siblings, who didn't have much in common with the two historians.
In comparison, he was chatting more with David.
"You specifically want to join this time, in fact, you want to talk to me about things, right?"
"No, I want to come out and relax, and it's only by the way to talk about things."
"It seems that Kama Taj's class is giving you a headache!"
Kama Taj's mage courses are many and varied, and if you want to become a supreme mage, you must first be a famous scholar!
In Marvel's countless parallel universes, it is not for nothing that Steve has become a Supreme Mage, but the way he became a Supreme Mage is a bit special.
In contrast, Tony Stark can become a Supreme Mage by studying hard.
However, Steve had no idea of giving up, anyway, he already knew that the Ancient One had chosen him to become the Supreme Mage, and the key factor was the Holy Light.
He only needs to master some of the abilities and knowledge necessary for the Supreme Mage, and then in the position of the Supreme Mage, after extending the Holy Light to the entire Kama Taj, he can retire!
After that, either catch Tony to pick up the pot; Either follow the original historical line to guide Stephen Strange to become the Supreme Mage; Or...... Let Wanda Maksimov, who is currently in the Hydra Special Ops Squad, take over.
These people are all good choices, even if these people have such and such problems, there is still a king in the guarantee.
Steve, who has already laid out his future and retreat clearly, is not so stressed in Kama Taj.
In comparison, Hydra has more headaches on his side.
Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes has been "saved", and even by consulting the Ancient One, Steve has cured Bucky's "schizophrenia".
At present, Bucky just has no suitable opportunity to wash his name, so he can only continue to "go undercover" with him in Hydra.
How do you get Bucky to be whitewashed? Bucky's mission also includes Tony's parents, and Steve doesn't think about what to do.
In addition, most of the members of Hydra are more ambitious, and they can easily say a few words of righteousness and evil, so that they can betray their original beliefs or leaders and defect to their own subordinates.
No matter how charismatic Steve's personal charm is, he has to meet the basic demands of these people before he can be "poached".
"I'm thinking about sending Rumlow to Winter Town......
"......" David looked at Steve, waiting for the next step.
"Rumlow is ambitious, he won't be satisfied with anything like maintaining world peace, and it seems easier for him to achieve his dreams with you."
"You say this as if I am an evil villain who wants to rule the world."
"That's what you said, I didn't say it."
「……」
Ignoring Steve's jokes and simply thinking about Rumlow, David didn't think there was a problem.
Crossbone-Rumlow is a talent, and as for ambition or anything, he doesn't want to replace him as a leader, and that ambition is not a problem for Davy at all, and may even become David's help.
"If you can convince Rumlow to come over, I'd be willing to accept him!"
「
That's absolutely fine." Steve's ostensible identity also includes being the front-line operations commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Rumlow's special forces often follow Steve's command to carry out various tasks.
Later, after Steve became Hydra, Rumlow was also Steve's direct subordinate, and the relationship between the two sides was "good"!
Because he was familiar and knowledgeable enough, Steve wanted Rumlow to come to Winter - to find a more meaningful goal for these Hydras without wasting their abilities and talents, and at the same time to further hollow out the corners of the Hydra.
When Rumlow and these people find a new value of survival here in Winter Town, are they still willing to die for Hydra?
Especially when they saw how "vast" the world was here in Winter Town, and how many "powerful" beings were out there, they knew that Hydra's plan would not succeed at all.
At that time, they will firmly maintain their existing interests and will no longer obey the orders of the original leader of Hydra, and then Steve will directly subvert Hydra and become the only snake leader himself.
Or do it in secret, let the Hydra become a thing of the past completely, and turn into a cloud of smoke without anyone knowing, then it's up to him.
The two of them talked for a while, and after deciding on the future of Hydra, the Kun fighter also arrived in the target area.
Cecil was searching for the corresponding location based on the information in his mind, and finally guided Tony, who was piloting the fighter, to land near the target location.
A group of people got off the Kun fighter plane and carefully observed the surroundings.
Krausa, Sylvanas, and Laura had their bows in their hands, Steve had taken his shield out of storage, and Tony had put on his steel armor.
However, after looking around left and right, they felt that their caution did not seem necessary, and it did not look like any dangerous creatures existed here. Chinese Net
There was no vegetation in sight of the surrounding area, and the few trees were sparsely located in the south, which should be the northernmost part of the Winter Forest.
They were now at the foot of the Pillar of the World, and there was no smooth road to continue on, and to the west was still the vast Winter River, the flow of which was so amazing, even close to the source, that perhaps the source of water was more than just the snow that had melted from the mountains.
"What's next?"
Everyone looked at the dark elf Cecil, and after observing it back and forth several times, Cecil finally pointed out a direction: continue to advance towards the Pillar of the World!
"Mountaineering?"
"No!" Cecil shook his head and dismissed Tony's speculation, "Based on what I've found, the Dark Elves used to prefer to build some important buildings underground, in caves, and the like."
So, what they're looking for is a cave.
Moving on, Tony Stark uses his steel armor to fly through the air and soon discovers a cave.
This cave is not hidden at all, and it is not far from the Winter River, after a group of people came here, after looking at the obvious traces of human modification at the entrance of the cave, plus the few stone pillars and steles that collapsed next to it, although badly damaged, they could barely see the dark elf-style patterns, they knew that they had found the right place.
"Ha, it's much easier than expected."
Things were going so smoothly that Tony opened his poisonous tongue again: "Could such an obvious ruin have been discovered a long time ago?" Are you brothers and sisters a little late?"
「……」
Cecil had the same thoughts, but he didn't find any detailed information about them in the Eternal Night Empire, and even the information that could lead him to this place was something he had pieced together and speculated on his own, combining multiple accounts.
"Probably hasn't been found."
He firmly believed that this was still an undiscovered ruin, probably because the Eternal Night Empire was too far away from here!
As for why humans didn't notice it...... He already knew that Wintertown was the most frontier region of the Kingdom of Tiran, and that it was too cold and barren for humans to live in.
You didn't stay here for too long, no
As for what the situation is, it has already arrived at the door, how can it stop there?
None of the people present were flinching, and David directly spread out his hands to condense a ball of holy light, allowing it to levitate above his head as a lighting device.
The people who had just taken out the lighting equipment stopped their movements.
Only Cecil and Enid looked at Davy, Lord of Wintertown, in surprise.
Before this time, the brother and sister thought that this Lord of Winter Town was just a ruler and administrator, so when they came to investigate, they were accompanied by "so many guards".
When David unleashed the light, they realized that the lord was actually a spellcaster with mysterious powers.
But he didn't think too much about it, he had found the ruins, and he was eager to know what information was kept here?
Continuing deeper into the interior, through a long corridor that is not particularly long, it looks a little old and dilapidated, but the whole is intact, and you will come to a large hall.
In order to be able to better see the situation in the main hall, David made the holy light above his head brighter, and at the same time rose to a higher position, as if installing a chandelier for the empty hall.
With David's actions, everyone also saw the situation in the hall clearly: except for a small stone platform in the middle, there was nothing around.
"That's it?" Tony looked around, and there was no sign of damage except for the signs of age erosion, "You don't have any records of this ruin, it's because there is no information here, right?"
Cecil looked at the situation around him, and was also a little disappointed, but he walked quickly to the only stone platform unwillingly, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
"Impossible! How can there be nothing?" As a result, I looked up and down, but I still didn't find anything special.
It wasn't until Enid came up and wanted to comfort her brother that the ordinary-looking stone platform suddenly emitted a ray of light and shone straight on Enid's body.
