"So, you're telling me that it's because there's a 'seed' in your body? That's why you have the ability to project energy? "
Hogness, who was wearing a traditional mage robe, was sitting on the sofa with a bottle of beer in his hand. His pointy hat was placed on the table beside him, and his expensive-looking Fire Crystal Staff was leaning against his leg. Combined with the modern decor of the living room, the scene looked very out of place.
But once you're familiar with this setting, it's actually quite interesting. Of course, Saber, who had just woken up and was still a little tired, could only shrug and reply with a helpless expression.
"I'm not lying, really."
He snorted and picked up a cup of hot tea. He said to the old mage, "That mutant Re.Jean isn't normal. There's a spiritual seal on her soul, and within it is a very powerful being. She asked me to save her and gave me a reward in advance. That's all."
"This sounds like a fantasy novel from the previous era."
Strange sipped his juice and slowly interjected, "Are you sure you don't need Mage Hogness to examine you? Casually using an unknown power can lead to terrible consequences. I'm sure you know that. "
Saber hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
"Forget it. I can feel that the energy in my body is completely under my control. At least until I completely release the person who calls herself 'Phoenix', there shouldn't be any problems."
"Pfft!"
When Hogness heard the name, he spat out the beer in his mouth. He wiped his mouth carelessly and stared at Saber with widened eyes.
"Are you sure she calls herself Phoenix?"
Saber looked at the old mage in surprise and nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. What's wrong? Is there a problem with the name? "
The old mage did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and frowned. After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath.
"I can't say that there's a problem. In fact, the origin of Phoenix is amazing, but as you said, the other side of this power is actually harmless to humans and animals when it's not activated, and most importantly, she really resists the observation of a third party. But anyway, since you're involved with this kind of power beyond the rules, this matter has to be reported to Sorcerer Supreme. As for your outcome, it depends on her judgment."
"Well … if necessary, report it."
Saber waved his hand casually. Anyway, Ancient One knows his biggest foundation. Even if he tells her this kind of thing, it's probably not a big deal. His finger swayed slightly in the air, a red flame energy like a snake wrapped around his finger. It can be seen that Saber is not very proficient in controlling this new power. After playing with it for less than 30 seconds, the red flame energy turned into smoke and disappeared on his finger.
He stretched his back and looked at Strange and Hogness.
"You two didn't come here just to see me, right? Tell me, what instructions does Sorcerer Supreme have for me? "
Strange put down the glass of juice in his hand. When it came to serious matters, Doctor Strange was always very serious. He stroked his newly grown mustache and said slowly, "Let's go.
"Two days ago, Kamar-Taj detected three special spatial anomalies in the Central City not far from Gotham. It's reasonable to say that this kind of thing doesn't need a guy like you, but these three spatial fluctuations also caused a slight fluctuation in the timeline. This kind of thing is very unusual, so Ancient One hopes that you will go to the Central City to secretly inquire about it after you're done with your own affairs."
Strange paused for a moment and looked at Seiber.
"Recently, those Gods and Demons are not very stable again. We may not see each other again in the next few months, but if you find anything, you can contact the New York Sanctum directly. Sorcerer Wang is stationed there with people. When needed, he can help you."
"Okay."
Saber made an OK gesture. He put his legs on the table in front of him and said to Strange, "It's just the last thing I'll do for Sorcerer Supreme for free. After this, I'll be free. Speaking of which, old man, what are you doing here?"
He turned his head to look at Hogness again and said with a playful look, "If I remember correctly, you're not Kamar-Taj's man, or has your organization finally been incorporated by Kamar-Taj? You old dog, are you going to change owners? "
"Every time I see you, my good mood escapes very quickly. You bastard."
The old Sorcerer scolded, but he was obviously not angry. He and Saber's relationship was a true comrade-in-arms. The two of them fought side by side against Lucifer, and the friendship between the two of them would not change because of a few bad jokes. The old Sorcerer breathed a sigh of relief and said to Saber very seriously,
"I'm about to go to the Frost Secret Realm in Northern Europe to monitor the abnormal activities of the Frost Giant descendants. I'm afraid there will be very few opportunities to see each other. I'm here this time to tell you two things. First … to express my gratitude."
With that, the old Sorcerer stood up and bowed slightly to Saber very solemnly, "Thank you for saving my old bones from Lucifer, and thank you for helping me escape from Domumu's control."
Saber snorted and did not say anything. Hogness did not care. With a slight movement of his finger, a purple wizard hat fell on his head. He held the staff on the side and said to Saber,
"The second thing is a reminder. Some changes have occurred in the Vampire Church in Romania, and the Vampire Secret Party operating in North America has also made new moves. Those dark creatures seem to be planning to take advantage of this chaotic era to expand their territory. The most unfortunate thing is that your Gotham seems to have been targeted by them."
He snapped his fingers lightly, and a gorgeous Door of Flame opened behind him. He looked back at Saber and said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate those dark creatures.
"Don't underestimate those dark creatures, but to be honest, you don't have to overestimate them either. To a person like you, they are just a bunch of trash that you can easily get rid of. However, Seiber … the ordinary people under your command are different. The vampires' evil spells have unimaginable control over ordinary people. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. So, you should take them seriously."
"Goodbye, my friend!"
With that, the old Sorcerer turned and walked into the Door of Flame. This Teleportation spell that belonged to Sorcerer Hogness was gorgeous to the extreme, especially when it dissipated. It was almost like a rain of fire dancing in the sky. Strange also waved his hand and disappeared in the golden light of the Teleportation spell. Saber snorted and pointed his middle finger at Strange in the light screen.
"Sometimes I really envy you lunatics who know magic … Get out of here, I want to rest."
The noisy room instantly quieted down. Seiber took a deep breath and buried himself in the sofa. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers. A red shadow appeared behind him. Erica reached out and rubbed his forehead in place of Seiber. She said softly, "Don't worry, Miss Erica, Miss Erica.
"How does it feel to die? My Saber. "
"Uh, to be honest, it sucks."
Saber closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa. He said softly, "It's like walking in a dry desert. You're thirsty, but there's not a drop of water except for the rotten blood in your body. You're hungry, but there's nothing but yourself. That damn, maddening silence sucks. No one wants to experience it again. It'll drive you crazy."
He was silent for a moment before he asked:
"What's the situation now?"
Erica was about to speak when the door was pushed open. A woman in a black dress and glasses came in with dinner. She looked at Erica and could not help but push up her wine-red glasses. Her eyes were filled with a faint hostility.
"Hmph."
The female ninja in red snorted and disappeared into the shadows. Felicity smiled in satisfaction and put the dinner in front of Saber. She took Erica's place and continued to rub Saber's forehead. However, the hand that had been typing on the keyboard for a long time was obviously not suitable for this. In less than ten seconds, Saber could not help but say:
"Hey, Felicity, you don't have to do this … I mean, this is my head, not your keyboard. If you press too hard, I'll feel pain."
"Ah! Sorry! "
The woman in glasses sat aside with a red face. Saber glanced at her and did not say anything. He picked up the cutlery and started eating. Felicity hesitated for a moment and said:
"Do you want me to tell you about the current situation?"
"Go ahead."
Seiber shoved a piece of steak into his mouth and nodded. Felicity cleared her throat and said, "That's right.
"New York is now a pot of porridge. Four days ago, the Mutants suspected to be Pixie ignited the first spark of resistance at the antidote distribution site in Washington, then the second, the third, until today, almost all the antidote distribution sites in the country have been attacked by Mutants. According to the information in the SHIELD database, at least 200 people died in the three-day conflict."
A trace of sympathy appeared on the woman's face. She pushed her glasses and continued:
"The President announced an ultimatum this morning. If the Mutants do not stop these increasingly aggressive attacks, he will declare a state of war to enforce the Mutants Registration Act. And the news I just saw is that the Mutants have joined forces. They plan to move towards California. It is said that the Worthington laboratory is there. They said they want to completely destroy it and crush the government's conspiracy."
"California?"
Saber snorted, put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth: "It seems that it is really a troublesome place. I remember that the last Mutants riot also happened in California. The Brotherhood's momentum has been established and no one can stop all this. By the way, is there any news from Hydra?"
Felicity shook her head and said with a distressed expression: "There is no news.
"There's no news at all. I've searched almost all the databases on the Internet that might contain clues, but I couldn't find anything. They're like ghosts. Either all their messages are delivered in paper, or they have a secret super database that's physically encrypted. They're simply the most hated opponent for hackers."
"What? Our Ms. Felicity also has trouble that she can't handle? "
Saber reached out and lit a cigarette, leaned on the sofa with interest, and looked at Felicity's angry face. He chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, don't put pressure on yourself, we still have time. Those villains who can only hide in the dark and plot can't do anything big. Their weakness is their weakness in reality. By the way, I want to thank you, Felicity."
Saber said solemnly:
"I want to thank you for everything you have done for me during this time, I …"
"I like you! Saber. "
"I don't know why I like you, but when I realized it, I already liked you. Maybe it's because you helped me five years ago. Anyways, I like you, that's all." She said directly to Seiber, "I don't know why I like you, but when I realized it, I already liked you. That's all."
"Hmm?"
Saber froze for a moment. He looked at Felicity's serious eyes. He hesitated, put out the cigarette in his hand, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying:
"But I can't give you what you want …"
"I don't need it!"
Felicity interrupted Seiber again. She adjusted her spectacles very seriously, which was a sign of her nervousness. She whispered, "Don't worry.
"In fact, my parents' failed marriage made me afraid of marriage since I was a child. In fact, well … I'm a celibate. No matter how much I like you, I won't be intimate with you. Don't worry, I won't force you to marry me, I won't force you, and I won't ask you to climb a building for me to announce your love to the world …"
She took a deep breath:
"I just want to tell you that I have a good feeling for you. The men in the past couldn't give me a sense of security, but with you, I've gotten a lot, far beyond my imagination. So, this might not be love, but I think … I should tell you."
Looking at the bespectacled lady who was getting more and more confused as she tried to explain herself, Seiber smiled and stood up. He opened his arms and hugged her gently. Felicity's explanation stopped at this moment. She heard Seiber whisper in her ear, "Don't worry, Miss Felicity.
"Thank you … Who wouldn't like a lovely girl like you?"
