Chapter 1: Blowing Up Kamar-Taj
"What you call the successful completion of the mission is to completely destroy Kamar-Taj." Fury said with a grim face, holding a document from Lu.
"What do you mean by 'bombing'? This is a civilized act, how can it be called bombing? Things like this can still be rebuilt and compensated, we call it demolition and resettlement." Lu Yifang knocked on the table and said seriously.
"In that case, I have become an unpaid laborer, helping the magician rebuild his homeland." Faced with Lu's serious correction, Fury also wanted to clarify that he was not saying "us", but that he was the only investor.
"Isn't this better?" Lu Yifang looked at Fury with a smile, "As the saying goes, free things are the most expensive. I think you already know this."
Hearing this, Fury was silent for a moment, which was considered as tacit agreement. Regarding how to contact magicians, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council have already made a decision. Although magicians have supernatural powers, they are still human beings. Their ideology and social structure have been thoroughly analyzed by many think tanks including psychologists and sociologists. How to make the first contact, how to deepen the connection between magicians and the secular world, and even how to eventually incorporate the entire magician group into the existing human civilization development system, all have been carefully planned, enough to compile ten five-year plans.
In the secular world, there are hundreds of millions of people. What the mage seeks is insignificant. What he fears is that the mage will shut himself in and refuse people from entering. Once the door is opened, everyone will come to him. What's the point of paying so little?
"Since you gentlemen have made thorough plans, I will retire now that my mission is accomplished." After saying this, Lu Yifang cut off the communication and stretched lazily. At this moment, he was on the flying boat on its way back.
However, this flying boat was not driven by Melinda, but a special aircraft belonging to the X-Men. Only Katie and the other two people brought by Lu from the academy were in the cabin. Coulson and Melinda were still waiting for Fury's next instructions at Kamar-Taj. The evil Ghost Rider, who was full of tricks, had decided to stay in Kamar-Taj temporarily and asked Doctor Strange to help him lift Mephisto's curse.
"You youngsters, you left school without permission this time and caused such a disturbance that Storm and I almost had to come and arrest you." Wolverine Logan turned around, lit a pipe, and said leisurely.
"Logan, don't talk nonsense. The professor thinks the information you brought back is extremely valuable, so he sent us to meet you." Storm interrupted Logan's jokes and used her supernatural powers to extinguish his pipe.
"No fireworks allowed here."
"What a bummer." Looking at the pipe in his hand that suddenly went out, Logan showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Is the professor at school now?" Lu Yifang raised his head and asked.
"Of course, Yi Fang is waiting for you to come back to see him in the office right now." Storm turned around and replied.
"That's perfect." Lu Yifang said, and looked back at the back seat, only to see Colossus Pete sleeping soundly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this enchanted armor and had not taken it off even after the battle. The heavy armor even bent the seat, and John and Bobby, who were sleeping together, had clung to Pete and fell asleep in each other's arms. Well, except for Bobby occasionally calling him "Little Naughty" intimately in his dreams, the scene was quite harmonious.
The battle of Kamar-Taj was a huge drain on them as they were new to the battlefield. It was not easy for them to hold out until now and fall asleep.
Lu Yifang yawned, adjusted his posture so that Katie could sleep more soundly on his shoulder, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Thanks to the speed of the academy's invisible flying boat, about two hours later, Lu Yifang and his group finally returned to the academy.
"You're back, Yifang." When Lu Yifang pushed open the office door, a white-haired head bathed in sunlight turned around and spoke to him with a smile.
"Professor, I suggest that your desk should be away from the window." Lu Yifang rubbed his eyes and said.
"Haha, kid, you said what I've always wanted to say." At this time, a rough voice sounded. Lu Yifang turned around and saw a blue-skinned man in a white robe and glasses coming over, smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
"You are..." Suddenly, an orc face appeared in front of him, and even Lu Yifang couldn't help but take a step back.
"My name is Henry, but everyone calls me the Beast." The Beast laughed at Lu Yifang's subconscious reaction and didn't mind the details at all.
At this moment, Lu Yifang nodded and recalled, he had remembered this person's identity.
"Henry is an outstanding mutant scientist. He is not only proficient in genetic science, but also has a deep understanding of ancient texts. I asked him to come back, hoping that he can be helpful to your plan to find Apocalypse." Professor X pushed his wheelchair to Lu Yifang and introduced him to him.
"I've heard a little about the legend of the ancient mutant Apocalypse. Finding his burial place is indeed an interesting exploration." The Beast rubbed his hands, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Then where are the documents you brought back? Are they on the flying boat?"
"No, the item is here." Lu Yifang said, and an ancient ring on his finger suddenly glowed, and a wooden box half a person's height appeared in front of the two of them.
Inside the wooden box, there are a large number of parchment scrolls and bamboo slips. It is no exaggeration to say that these documents are undoubtedly the oldest and best-preserved records in human history. If it were not for the faint magic emanating from them, they would have long since turned into dust due to oxidation and insect infestation.
"A storage device from the magic world." Beast and Professor X couldn't help but cast their eyes on the ring in Lu Yifang's hand.
"These are some small items obtained from the Supreme Mage." Lu Yifang explained calmly.
"So that's how it is. Sometimes magic is really convenient in some aspects." The beast smiled and retracted his gaze, refocusing his attention on the ancient books. As a scientist, he was curious about magic equipment, but he also knew that he should focus on his own expertise.
"Then you guys talk first, I'll go study the literature." Beast suddenly remembered something and stuffed a USB flash drive into Lu Yifang's hand.
"I'll give this to you. I think it will be helpful to you." The beast smiled mysteriously, then picked up the wooden box with one hand and strode out the door. The hundreds of pounds of weight seemed as light as a feather in his hand.
Well, it seems that he is also good at logistics...
