Marvel Magic Event Book

The people Natasha Romanoff sees most often in the Immortal City, apart from Stephanie and her team who handle financial and administrative documents, are the androids.Especially the team commanders, tactical commanders and coaches of various training courses among the androids, whether they are Catherine or Aura, Agent Romanoff can have a few words with them - except for Tita, the one with wheat-colored skin artificial man.Her impassive expression was enough to freeze the orange flames burning in the fireplace, and Agent Romanov rarely saw her smile.Even next to her creator Salomon, Tita will try her best to be fully armed, wearing a helmet, and her left hand is always on the hilt of the gorgeous golden sword at her waist, which is exquisitely painted with black paint. The index finger and thumb of the right hand wrapped in steel gloves will not be too far away from the bolter.

Tita was in charge of the Sisters' military strength, and Salomon must have sent her out on some critical mission.Otherwise he will send Agent Victoria Hand, who will use the lives of those Hydra agents to the extreme and squeeze out the value of every drop of their blood - Salomon and Romanov watch Agent Hand's actions The report said that if Agent Hand had magnetic superpowers, she would definitely suck the iron out of the blood of those Hydra agents and sell it for money.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Of course." Salomon said confidently, "I still have many secrets that you don't know."

"Then can you tell me where Tita went?" Agent Romanoff softened his tone.

Salomon refused. "You can't know this," he said. "It's a secret. A secret is a secret because other people don't know it."

"Is it related to Nick Fury?"

"Less than one percent." Salomon said, "What Tita did will have very little impact on Nick Fury's plan, unless he and Tita collide now. But you remember Tita Equipment? She put on the Wings of Steel." Natasha thought of the wing-like pendant on the back of the Sisterhood's power armor. According to the information she obtained, those wings went through many iterations and finally formed the current large Wings of Steel issued on a scale.Although the specific parameters were not available, Natasha also knew that it was a piece of high-tech equipment that might allow the user to fly at the speed of sound.Generally speaking, only the androids responsible for close combat will be issued Steel Wings, but now that there are not many members of the Sisterhood, everyone can be equipped with one to increase battlefield mobility.

Her recording device was always online, but she couldn't gather much information at the moment.Salomon also knew the purpose of Agent Romanoff, but he pretended not to know - after all, she had already built a bridge of communication between him and Nick Fury, and there was really no need to be harsh on her anymore. Her mission was too big. too much.Natasha also knew that Salomon knew about her mission but never revealed it, which made her feel that Salomon was very considerate. It was also because of this that she was willing to help Salomon contact Nick Fury. There is a double agent between the two of them, and she doesn't want two people with the same goal to be in a life-and-death situation.

"Okay." Natasha shrugged, "It seems to be a matter of magic."

"Bingo!" A light suddenly appeared on Salomon's head. "A troublesome person has come to Earth. My teacher just told me today." Salomon opened the drawer and showed the thing inside that looked similar to a 19th century seismograph.A silver wire hooked a ruby ​​specially polished into a spindle shape. Under the ruby ​​was a long paper tape, which was pressed on a brass scale. "This is a device that can receive telepathic messages on my behalf." He pointed to the small string of Latin words engraved on the ruby. "It can receive some telepathic messages on my behalf - this thing is very popular in the magic world. There is no need to pay the phone bill. However, the price of this thing is too expensive. You also need to specially select magical gems and find craftsmen willing to cut the gems. Even the magician himself must have a certain ability to let go, because it is used to record The parchment on which the message is written also needs to be soaked in potion."

"Don't you magicians know how to use mobile phones?"

"There are always times when you are not in the service area, dear." Salomon said, "The mobile phone requires an operator, and the psychic call requires the etheric plane and the outer plane. If the distance is too far, the psychic call may not be able to be dialed. , messages cannot be sent. In fact, there are spells specifically invented for long-distance calls, as well as video call spells, but they are not usually used."

"I didn't expect magic to develop to this extent." Wanda tilted her head and said, "Could magic be combined with science?"

"Yes. Magic itself is a subject mixed with reason, sensibility and emotion. Except for the sorcerers who are born or accidentally acquire magic power, they do not need to learn. Generally, spell casters have basic scientific concepts and rational thinking." Sa Lomon used illusions to show Wanda the results of the modernization of the magical world - although some of this modernization is still in the Renaissance or Victorian period, full of gradual Baroque and steampunk styles, the functions of those magic devices are not inferior to those of modern times. Technology products.

Among the items he displayed were devices that could substitute for telepathic communication.

Just like making a phone call requires a phone number, the real name is a person's phone number, open Bluetooth and WIFI, and only people with a password or phone number can access.Today's class was not serious, so Salomon took advantage of the break to chat with Pietro and Wanda, including astronomy, which Wanda had never been exposed to.

"We magicians can't always look down at the ground. Astrology is also an important subject in magic." Salomon said, "The greatest use of astrology is to predict. But the stars and the universe are more than that to magicians. In During the development of occultism, especially in the pre-Enlightenment period, occultists and philosophers viewed the universe from three perspectives - the first was to view the universe as a magnificent harmonious organism in which all parts are interconnected. But there is something special about this view. The Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus believed that the entire universe is in a state of sympathy, like a living creature. Things that are far away are actually very close... Similar things are not close to each other, but Separated by different foods, yet subject to the same influences because of their similarities; the theory rests on the inner similarity by which even the most remote parts of the universe can be connected with one another by a mysterious communion."

Salomon pointed to Pietro and Wanda, saying that the example he gave was right in front of him.

"The second point of view is hidden causation. The third point of view is more common, that is, instrumental causation, or mechanical model, that is, one thing affects another through a verifiable and predictable material causal chain. Things. With the development of science, this model has become more complex and sophisticated, but the basic assumption has always existed - everything must be explained as caused by matter in accordance with strict natural laws, and the laws and principles must In principle, it can be discovered and understood by the human mind." Salomon said. "Perhaps this sounds too scientific to have anything to do with magic, but in fact the third view has great relevance to magic. We want Approach magic with a positivistic approach, and the traditional model of occultness only applies to ancient theology. Why do you say that? You haven't learned that part yet, so don't rush to take notes, it's just chatter - we can't learn spiritualism Like scientists, they blindly believe in secrecy and agnosticism. Magicians should be representatives of reason and spokespersons of wisdom, not charlatans who pick letters from old papers to piece together words, or people who are addicted to hallucinogenic drugs and talk nonsense. Gentleman."

"We need to view ether as an objectively existing energy rather than a hidden occult concept."
