Chapter 975 Different angles (first update)
"He said his wife had been here."
"Lucy Ball?" Wanda seemed to be frightened by the name. She didn't expect to find clues about the spirit so easily. Robbie Reyes, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but look at the co-pilot. It was obvious that the name Elias Moro mentioned caught his attention. Wanda made a gesture to signal Robbie not to be too anxious. She didn't want the burning skeleton to run out in front of so many police officers. "You think Lucy Ball will go to Southridge Prison? I think you want to get rid of me, Constantine. Is there anything you can't let me know?" Wanda said angrily, "I just He is the first person in charge of this task.”
"Yes, but your movements are too slow. If you move faster, we can still harvest those boxes that seal the spirit bodies, instead of letting them be taken away by SHIELD." Constantine accused calmly Wanda's anger was instantly dispelled. She knew her performance was poor, but she was also a little dissatisfied with Constantine's rough methods.
"As for Joseph Ball." Before Wanda could speak, the Guardsman explained his approach. But his tone sounded a little reluctant, and Wanda instantly understood that there was only one person in the world who could make the Guards respond to things he didn't want to respond to, "His soul has been contaminated. You The process of learning magic is carefully selected to ensure that you are not looking directly into the depths of the sea of souls. But Joseph Ball is different. He absorbs knowledge without restraint, and his soul is like the brain of a prion patient. Riddled with holes. He is hopeless and death will be a mercy to him."
"Is the teacher on the chain of command?" Wanda asked expectantly. Even though she knew that Constantine could represent the monarch of the Eternal City on certain occasions, she preferred that these words were spoken by her teacher rather than the Praetorian Guards. What's more, she felt like she hadn't heard those gentle yet stern voices for a long time, the voice that accompanied sweet black tea, fried bacon and warm sunshine in the cold castle.
"Five minutes and twenty-six seconds ago, my lord withdrew from the chain of command." Constantine's cold response broke her fantasy and brought Wanda Maximoff back to reality. Wanda found that she had been having trouble concentrating recently, but she attributed it to the consequences of her neglect of meditation during this period. Salomon gave her a very strict education, and meditation courses to stabilize the mental state must be conducted every day. However, after Robbie Reyes was hospitalized, Wanda was busy taking care of Gabe and she had no time to conduct her required courses. "He is currently on vacation at his manor in Oxfordshire. If I hadn't discovered the person whose soul was corrupted by the Book of Darkness, I would not have contacted my Lord."
After hanging up the phone, Wanda realized that Robbie Reyes was staring at her face.
"What's wrong?" She raised her eyebrows nonchalantly and put the phone back into her pocket. The policeman standing at the door of the hospital waved his hand to signal Robbie not to park his car here and block the road. This is the second time this week that the Los Angeles police have received a report from Los Angeles General Hospital. The last time was a fire in the intensive care unit and the patient was missing. This time it was a clear-cut homicide. In both cases, no suspects could be found. The local police were very, very irritable, especially the supporting police officers. They wanted to stop every car passing by on the road and question them.
"The change in your expression is really wonderful. I can see that you admire your teacher very much." Robbie Reyes started the car and made a U-turn in front of the hospital gate. He said with a teasing expression, "I heard you mention him many times, but I never knew what kind of person he was. I know Daisy has a bad opinion of him, and she thinks your teacher is very inhumane. , but I want to hear your opinion."
"This is a long story, and it also has something to do with my brother. If you have watched TV, you should know what the Avengers say to the outside world. My brother and I are guinea pigs for Hydra's human experiments... "
"You also have a younger brother?" Robbie Reyes was a little surprised, "So your magic is due to human experiments?"
"Yes, he is a younger brother. We are twins, so we are all younger brothers no matter what. As for magic, of course it is not a human experiment. My teacher said that I have talent in myself. He is my magic teacher and also my teacher in life. , and he also bought me a penthouse apartment in New York, which is the kind of rich man's residence you often see in TV dramas." Wanda shook her head in the car, "It will still be some time before we return to Nanling Prison. I can briefly talk about my teacher. But I promise that even if we get there, we won’t be able to finish this story, because there will be no wiser or warmer person in the world than him..."
"Who called?" Bayonetta pushed her sunglasses to her forehead, narrowed her eyes and looked at Salomon lying beside her.
"Constantine, he and Wanda had some disputes." Salomon lay back on the recliner. "Wanda didn't do well in this matter, so I asked Constantine to convey some words to Wanda. , it’s not a big deal.”
One of the benefits of owning a private estate is the freedom to sunbathe without restraint.
Although early summer is still some time away, setting up artificial sunlight is not difficult. Bayonetta and Joan of Arc suddenly had the idea to try out bikini tans, so Salomon worked in the garage all morning, making several instruments using common materials and equipment. At the same time, he also bought a whole box of sunscreen - a wise decision as it turned out that the manor soon ran out of sunscreen. Bayonetta snapped her fingers, put on her sunglasses again and lay back.
"Turn up the heat, honey, so you won't get any sun marks."
Salomon waved his hand and drove away the Cheshire Cat holding a fruit knife in the grass, as well as Pegasus who led the group of lambs to chew the grass in an attempt to clean up the lawn, and then lay back down in Bayou. Next to Nita and Jeanne. "How is the matter in Latvinia going?" Not long after, Bayonetta suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "You have spent several months on this matter."
This shocked Salomon. Normally, the witch would not care about the goals and operation mode of the Eternal City. Although Salomon was open about most things, Bayonetta rarely took an interest in his career.
"Apart from the lack of manpower, there are no other major problems."
In fact, this problem is very big, but Salomon did not say much.
The academy system of the Eternal City has just been put into operation not long ago. The officers and clerks with good talents who can be harvested in the future have just finished learning Latin, the unified language of the Eternal City. The most worrying thing is how to complete tomorrow. Homework, how to complete physical training. The scale of the academy is constantly expanding, and the young people abducted from war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq still need a long period of training. The future of the Eternal City depends on these people.
Salomon doesn't know whether the guiding ideology he has come up with can help the guerrillas in Latvinia complete their ideological transformation. Whether the preacher of the Eternal City can complete the task with the help of Victor von Doom will leave the scattered people. The guerrillas were reorganized into an organized and disciplined army. He could only believe that the companions he chose could complete the integration of forces before the European and American plutocrats started to take action. Otherwise, the army of the Eternal City would encounter many difficulties in fighting in an unfamiliar place in Latovinia.
Salomon was unwilling to reveal his trump card to the world so quickly. The Achilles' heel of the Immortal City is the lack of basic industry. The factories established in Africa simply cannot meet the current military industry needs. For this reason, he must capture Wakanda as soon as possible and get rid of the Immortal City's external dependence on basic industry.
He wished Natasha Romanoff had pursued her more closely.
