Chapter 351 On the chessboard, exam week
The Avengers split into two groups.
One is the frontal Avengers headed by Tony.
The other is a dark side Avenger who has escaped from control.
Tony and Steve, neither of them can say that the other is wrong.
What the Sokovia Accords brought was a more stable Avengers with law enforcement powers, at the cost of being subject to departmental supervision.
Steve has seen people who were infiltrated by Hydra when he was in S.H.I.E.L.D., and he has his own concerns, which is understandable.
Separating the Avengers from politics can, to the greatest extent possible, prevent this group of superhuman beings from becoming political sacrifice pawns and carry out the justice in their hearts.
The unruly Tony chose to compromise because of the trauma he brought to the world after creating Ultron.
Steve, who was born in the military, questioned the government's choice because of the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident.
Neither side is wrong.
A justice for the many, a justice for the few.
Sometimes they conflict and sometimes they are in harmony.
"Ross wants to elect the president," Mycroft said, sitting on the comfortable sofa. "He advocates using superheroes as labels to expand the influence of the United States."
"Obviously, he failed." John sat opposite him.
There is a low table between the two of them, and a wizard's chess piece is placed on the table.
It is a game in which moving chess pieces are manipulated to play against each other.
It is also something brought by the Magic Kingdom.
Mycroft himself is a master of chess. Except that he can move the wizard chess, the rest is not much different from chess.
This is a room with elegance and nobility.
An oil painting hangs on the wall, a red carpet and a burning fireplace.
Light passes through the copper windows that open and close on the left and right.
This place is like a club in the atmosphere of a nineteenth century palace.
Mycroft is the founder here.
As a confidant of the Queen and a cabinet minister of many presidents, Mycroft represents this country.
Letting the car eat a soldier, Mycroft said: "The Avengers have ignited the dissatisfaction accumulated in the hearts of the people when they experienced the Lagos explosion. Their spiritual symbol, Captain America, showed selfishness and destroyed their expectations of a saint. .”
"It's not easy to be a saint," John moved his soldiers and said calmly, "If you are hit on the left cheek, give him the right cheek."
"He is a soldier, but he has free will, so he cannot become a saint." Mycroft leaned back, "I thought Tony Stark would be the first to object."
"Stark has more conscience than you think," John said casually, sitting up straight and staring at the chessboard intently. "Don't forget, he once flew into an unknown wormhole with a nuclear bomb."
"Really? What about you?" Mycroft looked at John, "You are the one who entered the wormhole together."
"Me?" John finally looked away from the chessboard and paused, "If it's me, then you should be careful."
"You obviously have a chance to become an Avenger." Mycroft said, "A lone car, a pawn who works hard, and a queen who sits in charge."
"They have the same goal, which is to win."
"Too bad I'm not on the chessboard."
John watched his horse being smashed, his eyelids jumped, and he said: "I am the one outside the chessboard."
"Wakanda." Mycroft knew that the Magic Kingdom had good relations with Wakanda. "Their young king is full of energy and has different ideas from the old king."
"With vibranium, a versatile metal, Wakanda is indeed a good partner."
John's eyes returned to the chessboard, and he drove the pieces on the chessboard silently.
Mycroft, who was almost winning, didn't care and brought up another topic.
"You are the only person who has seen the true face of lies. In exchange, I am willing to give you the same level of information."
Lie is now the number one person on most wanted lists in various countries.
Even the UK is no exception.
Their miracle son participated in the mission to capture Steve, but was almost wiped out by a wave of lies.
As the only person who met and talked to Lie head-on, John was naturally very interested in the information he could give Mycroft.
"Forget it, I don't need your information." John sank into the sofa and said lazily, "I can tell you that that guy is very dangerous."
"But he is also very weak. He has no magic or superpowers. He only has a key that can open all doors."
John waved his hand, "So don't even try to find him."
"I don't think your man is strong-willed enough not to be deceived by his lies."
Mycroft became even more interested. He was curious about what kind of dangerous person John mentioned.
But John didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue to ask.
"As a friendly country, the UK will arrange a visit."
John raised his eyebrows: "We welcome you warmly."
Not only do the magical nations have to be visited, they have to visit others.
This matter was left to Penelo. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, she naturally needs to take on this responsibility.
John would just have to watch the rest of the Quidditch game at school.
With a snap of his fingers, the fire in the fireplace turned blue.
John stood up and walked over there, "See you later."
Mycroft didn't move. After watching John leave, his eyes slowly fell on the chessboard.
"You hold many more secrets, Mr. Wick."
The driven wizard chess came back one by one, Mycroft's eyes were deep.
...
Hogwarts.
John holds a small red bottle in his hand.
He stared at the liquid inside that moved like a living thing.
"This thing dad sent seems to be alive."
Shake it hard and the liquid clings to the bottle.
This is something special that dies shortly after leaving the bottle.
There is a special nutrient solution in the bottle that keeps the contents inside from dying.
However, when the nutrient solution is used up, the survival time of things will be shortened.
Just as he was thinking about this, John saw a group of flamingos running out of the room on the west side of the hall.
He hurriedly dodged, and a fifth-grade student came out with a sad face.
Before you know it, exam week has arrived.
Fifth grade and seventh grade students are required to take the O.W.L.s. exam and the N.E.W.T. exam respectively.
They staggered exam times and John missed them.
When he was taking exams in school... well, except for the time when he died after taking the exam, it seemed to be quite interesting.
There are third grade students in the hall who are taking exams.
John leaned over and took a look.
Snape gave every student a heavy psychological blow equally.
Stella and Lewis wrote like gods, and the quills made a "swishing" sound when they came into contact with the parchment, which made people drowsy.
John was very pleased. It seemed that his study schedule had brought great help to these two little guys.
Alice had even finished writing, her eyes fixed on the parchment, for fear of making a mistake.
Exam week lasts for one week.
Astronomy exam at night.
John, if you are unlucky, you will have a cloudy day and it will be a nightmare for the exam.
John also met Stephens who had finished his exam.
This young Digory was as good as his father, a child of someone else's.
It has occupied the first place for three consecutive years.
Stephens, who did not have to take the N.E.W.T. exam, quickly threw himself into Quidditch training.
Those students who stayed up late reviewing and using their brains wished they could stay in bed for a month.
The Hogwarts Quidditch team currently ranks third in points.
The first place is Durmstrang, the second place is Banad.
Banad was supposed to be the favorite to win the championship, but unfortunately he got out of Hogwarts and hit a wall in the first game.
Fortunately, the subsequent beheading tactics worked continuously, allowing Ode Ollie to complete the beheading action before the score widened.
The disadvantage is that the score is not that big.
But the gap with Durmstrang is not more than 50 points.
Professional golfers are so scary.
Several teams have only the final battle left.
Durmstrang versus Hogwarts.
Banad versus Beauxbatons.
Banad seemed to have secured victory in advance. They walked arrogantly to Hogwarts and shouted: "Get ready to cry."
Banad, who was still worried about the first game, couldn't accept the fact that they were defeated by Hogwarts.
