Chapter 830: Negotiation
Earth, on a snowy mountain in the Himalayas, in the home of the sorcerers of the Earth. A golden light appeared out of nowhere from the sky and then rushed into the courtyard below which was located on the platform halfway up the snowy mountain. This courtyard is also the residence of the Ancient One.
Buzz!
The Ancient One walked into the courtyard patio and casually stretched out his hand when the golden light rushed in, and then the golden light disappeared into his palm. Then, the Ancient One frowned slightly.
“This kid, he was just rescued from the brink of death, why did Bifrost take him to Asgard again?” The Ancient One whispered to himself after receiving the message from New York.
Ancient One has been paying attention to Lin Rui, who does not belong to the Marvel World. However, he doesn’t intend to get too involved in Lin Rui’s affairs. He just wants to stand behind the scenes and see what this kid can do.
However, as Lin Rui becomes stronger and stronger, his team and Allies become more and more powerful, everything he encounters becomes more and more difficult, and the Ancient One had to get involved.
Whew!
Just when Ancient One was still confused because there was not much news about other situations, another golden light rushed in. After catching this golden light, Ancient One received more news about Mirage Knight being taken away by Bifrost.
“So it’s like this… It seems that Asgard wants to recover the s.p.a.ce Gem… However, since Odin put it on the earth at the beginning, and now it was obtained by that kid, isn’t it a bit unreasonable to take it back?” The corner of Ancient One’s mouth, who already knew that Lin Rui was taken away by Bifrost because the Magic Cube was discovered, twitched slightly as he silently muttered to himself.
“It’s fine if you acquire the Aether, but the Magic Cube should be left to Earth. After all, that kid’s plan needs the support of that thing.” The Ancient One slowly walked into the room as he continue to talk to himself.
Buzz~
Just when Ancient One was walking towards the room, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked up to the sky slightly, as if there was something worth his attention up there.
“Odin, you are already old and you aren’t as strong as before. What’s the use of guarding so many Infinity Stones on Asgard? It will bring disaster to you and Asgard, so let the Earth share some of the burdens. “Looking up at the clear sky above the snow-capped mountain, Ancient One said as if he was talking with someone.
After saying these two sentences, Ancient One paused, as if listening to something. However, during the silence, the look in Ancient One’s eyes changed.
“Huh? You don’t trust those young people? Hehe… I don’t trust your two unreliable sons?” After a while, Ancient One chuckled and continue to speak.
“Insufficient strength? That’s no reason. Your two sons’ abilities are nothing in my eyes, though Thor is slowly awakening his true powers a little.”
“If you don’t bring the boy back, I’ll go and get him myself. Anyway, he might bring you a very important piece of news so treat him well or it might become too late for regret.”
“I’ve said all I need to say, and you needn’t ask me any more questions. Let’s meet and talk when we have the chance. Aren’t you tired of talking like this?” Finally, Ancient One seemed to be dissatisfied and unilaterally cut off this mysterious dialogue.
“That Odin, he is still putting on airs when he is this old. Kid, I have paved the way for you, it’s up to you to seize the opportunity.” After cutting off the conversation with the mysterious man just now, Ancient One lowered his head and walked into the room while muttering to himself.
…
Washington, SHIELD headquarters building. Rogers, who has recovered has returned to normal work, and now he is on a video call with Tony.
“Is Mirage Knight all right?” Rogers, who had just connected with Tony, asked about Lin Rui’s situation. After all, Mirage Knight’s situation was very dangerous before.
The connection between Tony and Rogers was suddenly disconnected unilaterally so something must have happened there. So, Rogers doesn’t know yet that Lin Rui has been rescued. As for the incident of Bifrost’s arrival, SHIELD only got the news and didn’t have time to report it to Rogers.
“Well, the plan to save Mirage Knight was perfect. He has just woken up. But… he is no longer on Earth, he was teleported away by Bifrost.” Tony didn’t plan to hide anything from Rogers as he spoke with a calm expression on his face.
“It’s good that he woke up… eh?! No! What did you just say? Mirage Knight is not on Earth?! He was teleported away by Bifrost, what the h.e.l.l is that?!” Rogers looked normal when he heard that Mirage Knight had woken up, but he was unprepared for what Tony said afterward.
“Bifrost, a special phenomenon that once appeared in New Mexico. In fact, it is a method used by extraterrestrial civilizations for teleportation. And Mirage Knight was taken away a little over ten minutes ago by Bifrost, which descended on the roof of my building.” Tony knew that Rogers didn’t know the origin of Bifrost so he briefly introduced it in a few words.
Swipe!
“Wait Wait Wait… Just wait a minute!” Hearing Tony’s words, Rogers turned pale and did a quick search on the computer in front of him.
Soon, Rogers had searched inside the SHIELD for information about the last S-cla.s.s event in New Mexico. After taking a closer look at the event, Rogers also understood what a Bifrost might be. Similarly, Rogers also remembered the flying hammer that was suppressed by the people he led before. Speaking of which, as one of SHIELD’s few S events, the hammer is as important as Magic Cube.
“So, the man named Thor is an alien. Has he been teleported away as well?” Rogers asked after learning the details of the last incident in New Mexico.
“Yes, according to our judgment, perhaps Mirage Knight was teleported away because of the Magic Cube on him. This time, the extraterrestrial civilization named Asgard might want to take the Magic Cube back.” Tony nodded and told the news he got from the earth’s sorcerers.
“So, can Mirage Knight come back safely?”
“I believe in him.”
“Then I believe him, too.”
