Chapter 869: Moens is back, the four buyers of the real stone

After sending Coulson away, Hela walked out from a side door.

Although she was a little unhappy that Aaron asked her to avoid the guests, she was staying in someone else's house after all, and she was in a good mood today, so she could still give him some face.

She lifted Abei up and examined him carefully for a while. "It doesn't seem to have changed much, but... his foundation seems to be stronger."

"Devouring dragon bones is just the accumulation of quantitative changes. Once its magic energy breaks through the bottleneck, a qualitative change will occur." Aaron said seriously, and then silently opened Abe's data panel.

[Pet: Abe]

[Race: Dragon (Saint: Unawakened)]

[Magic energy: 9500 (increases a little every day, has endless potential, and is the king among young dragons)]

[Innate abilities: flying, dragon breath, healing, weather control,? ? ? 】

"It actually made a profit this time." Aaron looked at the number behind the magic energy and smiled with satisfaction.

The energy in the dragon bone has kept Abe going for at least ten years. Even without his help, it would be able to evolve to the next stage in less than two years.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and tapped the table lightly, "Fox."

Boo!

The next moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the air.

The phoenix spread its wings and flew out from the flames, circling in the air twice before folding its scarlet feathers and landing steadily on Aaron's shoulder.

Aaron gently stroked its red wings and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that your strength has increased a little."

"Not bad!" Fox spread his wings modestly, "Master, what is the matter with summoning me?"

"How's Qin doing lately?"

"She should have calmed down soon." Fox said uncertainly, "At least she read all the letters her master wrote to her, and her expression didn't change. She even smiled occasionally."

"Very good." Aaron slammed the table a little excitedly, "I knew she couldn't ignore me forever."

"but..."

"But what?"

"But that Cyclops is as annoying as a fly every day, and the way he looks at me is full of malice. Master, don't you need to care about this?"

Hearing this, Aaron frowned, thought for a few seconds and then said, “As long as it doesn’t take the initiative to attack you, don’t take it too seriously.

As for Qin, just take good care of her and report to me if there is any situation. Apart from that, don't do anything extra."

"Got it." Fox said as if he understood, then he turned into flames and dissipated.

But before leaving, it took a deep look at Abe who was napping in Hela's arms, its pupils full of shock.

It worked hard and diligently stayed by Qin's side to absorb the original energy. It thought it could catch up with Abe in a short time, but how come the gap suddenly became so big? It was too outrageous!

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to resist going to look for that woman!” Hela teased sarcastically.

"If she doesn't calm down, I might go find her at the Mutant Academy.

But since she has shown signs of calming down, I don’t mind waiting a little longer. I believe that time and distance will create beauty.”

“Really…” Hela rolled her eyes at him with disdain, “Despicable.”

......

After solving the problems with the Hand and the Society, Aaron's life quickly became regular. Alchemy, medicine making, and practicing magic became the main themes of his daily life.

However, alchemy has reached a bottleneck. Unless his magic power is further improved, it will be difficult for him to produce alchemical bullets with nine enchantments in a short period of time.

Aaron also understood this and temporarily gave up the development of alchemical bullets and instead devoted more energy to the research of universal capsules.

After many experiments, he finally combined space magic with the traceless stretching spell and created a simplified version of the space matrix, making the universal capsule technology possible for mass production.

However, this technology is still in its infancy, and only magicians can use it.

There has been no progress in the pharmaceutical industry. The existing few potions are enough, and he doesn't plan to spend time researching new products.

As for practicing magic... Fusion magic is a huge project with no end in sight, so most of my time was spent on the magic of Kamar-Taj.

......

The time came to October.

That day, Aaron had just prepared lunch when the space in front of him suddenly cracked open, and a figure slowly walked out of the dark purple gap.

“Who?” Hela raised her eyebrows, and a sword of the night sky appeared in her hand.

Swish!

A cold light flashed, and in an instant it pierced the figure's neck.

"Stop." Aaron shouted hurriedly.

Hela paused, and the Night Sky Sword stopped moving, with only a very faint collision sound being heard.

The space crack closed, and the figure revealed its true appearance. It was Yak Moens who had been away for three months.

He was wearing a black double-breasted windbreaker and a top hat, and his temperament was more stable than three months ago, but his face looked a little unhappy.

But this is understandable. No one would be in a good mood if someone pointed a sword at them right after returning home.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and used dark energy to block the tip of the sword in time, his neck might have been bleeding.

“Father.” Hela put away the Night Sky Sword and looked at Yak in surprise for a few seconds, then looked at Aaron, “Is this your friend?”

"Technically speaking, he is not my friend."

"Who is he then? Why are you stopping him..."

Before she finished her words, Hela’s voice suddenly stopped.

Yak knelt on one knee in front of Aaron and said, "Master, Yak Moens reports to you."

"Get up!"

“Master?” Hela’s pupils slightly dilated, a little unbelievable. “You are his master?”

"Can't you?"

"No, he is not. But he is the Sub-Father. His accumulated magic power seems to be even higher than yours. How could he worship you as his Lord?"

Aaron's face darkened and he wanted to say something but was speechless.

Although he is a mid-level holy mage, his magical energy is divided into two, one half in his main body and the other half in Asgard's thought body, so his apparent magical power is only that of a mid-level great mage.

And since Yak has already become a holy mage, his aura is naturally stronger than his.

"Why should I tell you?" Aaron said unhappily, "Anyway, I am Yake's master, this is an indisputable fact."

Hela chuckled and looked at Yake thoughtfully, “His strength is good, but his vision is a bit problematic.

Instead of following him, you might as well follow me. Your future will definitely be bright."

“Hela.” Aaron coughed. “Isn’t it too much to poach people right in front of me?”

“A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. I’m just giving him a choice.” Hela smiled righteously, “If you were him, would you follow someone weaker than you?”

"Disrespectful." Yake frowned slightly, "How dare you disrespect the master."

"Forget it, Ya Ke, I'm used to it." Aaron waved his hand tiredly, "She only came to me after you left three months ago, so you don't know her yet.

Let me introduce to you, this is Hela Odinson.

The eldest daughter of the god-king Odin, the eldest princess of Asgard, the legendary goddess of death, and the sister of Thor, the god of thunder, and Loki, the god of trickery.

She is currently staying at my place and is considered a distinguished guest, so I should still show her the necessary respect.

One thing you must remember is that you cannot reveal her identity to anyone. She is now just Aaron Gaius’s ordinary cousin Hela Gaius.”

Yake blinked blankly, then nodded, "I understand."

"Your Highness Hela, this is Yak Moens, my first follower.

Holy Mage, skilled in dark magic."

"I remember you said before that Frank was your first follower in this universe. Does that mean Ark came with you?"

"Yes."

“I see.” Hela smiled faintly, “I thought your followers were all mortals like Frank, I didn’t expect there are such talented people!

A magician of the sub-god father level can establish his own territory even in the Nine Realms."

"It's not that exaggerated. Yake is just an initial stage sub-father."

“But I can feel his fighting ability.” Hela said meaningfully, “How many people are there like him?”

“Two.” Aaron said reluctantly. He really didn’t want Hela to know, but as long as she was still living in his house, he would be unable to hide it sooner or later.

"Won't you introduce me?"

Aaron grinned, "There will be a chance."

"Haha! How many secrets do you have?"

“A lot, but Your Highness Hela, don’t you think it’s presumptuous to ask this question?”

"I'll find out."

"We'll see." Aaron retorted, not wanting to be outdone, and then looked at Yake, "How have these three months been? What have you learned?"

"Uh... I have been acting as a fortune teller for the past three months and have already digested the fortune teller potion."

"As expected." Aaron snapped his fingers, and a bottle of potion appeared in front of Yake. "Fortune Teller Path Sequence 8, Clown Potion, I've prepared it for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Yak bowed and immediately poured the clown potion into his mouth.

As the bitter potion went down his throat, Jack frowned slightly and his body underwent slight changes, but it returned to normal in just a moment.

After a few seconds, Yake clenched his fists, stretched his body, and had some guesses about the extraordinary abilities of the Joker.

"how do you feel?"

"Sequence Eight has improved combat skills. If it were an ordinary fortune teller, their combat power would be significantly improved after the promotion, but for my subordinates... it's better than nothing!"

"That's how low-sequence angels are. Even if you don't take the path of the gods, with your current magic power, you are still a Sequence 2 angel." Aaron smiled indifferently, and then changed the subject, "Did you gain anything else?"

"This..." Yak opened his mouth and then smiled bitterly, "Master, after I left the Earth, I randomly landed on Xandar.

With the ability of divination, I have gained some reputation, accumulated some connections, and earned some money, but all of this money has been used by my subordinates to buy intelligence, so there is no other gain for the time being."

"I understand. So... has that thing been sold?"

"Not yet." Yake said frankly, "But my subordinates have already found buyers, and they are all willing to pay more than 10 billion."

"You're just sending away beggars!" Aaron sneered, "Anyone willing to buy it must know what it is. Let's leave them alone for now."

"That's what I think too."

"What are you selling?" Hela asked curiously.

Yak glanced at Aaron and saw that he didn't say anything. He then turned over his palm and a blood-red crystal appeared in it.

“This… Infinity Stone?” Hela smacked her lips. “Where did you get this thing from?”

"Dark elves, I killed their leader Malekith and obtained this trophy." Aaron said lightly. The main reason was that Malekith was too weak, and such a record did not give him any sense of accomplishment.

"Looking at Her Highness Hela's performance, it seems that she is not very interested in the Infinity Stones!"

“The Infinity Stones are indeed treasures, but they are of no use to me.

Unless you collect all the Infinity Stones, this thing is just useless, at least for the Father-level."

"You are not Heavenly Father yet?" Aaron said speechlessly.

“As long as I want, I can overcome that bottleneck at any time.” Hela said as a matter of course. Her divine power had indeed not recovered, but Helheim was always under her control.

But that was the power Odin gave her. Before defeating him and taking back everything that belonged to her, she disdained to use the power Odin gave her. Otherwise, she could become the master of the dimension at any time, and with the help of the power of the dimension, she could squeeze into the position of God the Father.

“Yes, yes, Her Highness Hela is of course amazing.” Aaron perfunctorily replied, and then sighed with emotion, “It’s quite interesting that some people flock to the Infinity Stones, while others are dismissive.”

“Who are the buyers?”

"The Supreme Wisdom of Kree, the Collector of the Void, the High Lord of Sakaar, and the Titan Thanos."

"Who?" Aaron sat up suddenly. "Who's the last one?"

“Thanos.

Any questions, Master?"

"Um...how much did he offer?"

"Ten billion cosmic coins, and the friendship of the Titans, he is willing to unconditionally launch a devastating war for the seller, but it is within the scope of his ability."

"Hiss!" Aaron gasped, "As expected of Thanos, the price is a little low, but it's full of sincerity, and it's hard to refuse!"

"Master, do you want to make a deal with Thanos?" Yak asked tentatively.

"Forget it." Aaron laughed dryly and shook his head. He didn't particularly care about the snap that determined half of the life in the universe, but he also didn't want to help Thanos speed up the process. He still had the most basic moral bottom line.

"Are these four the only buyers?"

“The four of them were the highest bidders, and there were some inferior items, but they didn’t know the value of the items at all, and the price they offered didn’t even reach nine figures.

I originally wanted to inform the Supreme of Xandar, and she should offer a good price.

But I was living on Xandar after all, so I didn’t inform her in case the Supreme had any bad intentions.”

"Yeah!" Aaron nodded in agreement. "You did the right thing. We should always be on guard against others!"
