Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)
Chapter 1843: Conflict over face and interests
What Stark is saying now obviously has some philistine meaning, but in normal times, with his temper, he would never be able to say such things. .
The main reason why he has such a change lies in the value shown by Gu Yi.Being able to move two kilometers-long mountains in an instant, and being able to fight off monsters that the entire human race is helpless to fight off, the value of such an ability represents no need to elaborate.
And if this ability is not seen by anyone else, it would be better. In this case, even if she has earth-shattering abilities, she can only be an unknown hermit and will not have any impact on the pattern of this world.
However, the problem now is that her ability has been revealed, and she has been revealed directly in front of dignitaries from various countries.
A mage who is more powerful than the ultimate weapon that humans share but cannot use without authorization. Such an existence is enough for politicians to regard her as a piece of cake, and for ambitious people to want to go there at all costs. Get the power she has.
This is just like when nuclear weapons first came out. Whoever mastered this nuclear weapon had a huge say.The national-level game derived from this is a problem that Stark least wants to see, but he has to face it at this moment.
It is impossible for him to let Guliu flow to other countries. That would only make the United States' voice in the international community weaker and weaker.And if he still clings to their past friendship at this time, then this is obviously a stupid act to push her away.
Emotionally, it was difficult for him to forgive what Gu Yi had done to him.But rationally, especially from the perspective of national interests, he had to make a choice against his will at this time.
This is very helpless, but this is the reality.Stark needed to be forced by reality to say such unintentional words, and Ancient One also had to accept Stark's kindness because of the needs of reality.
Being an enemy of the ruler of a secular country would not be an easy thing even for her.She would not choose to put herself in such a position unless she had to.Therefore, even though she was well aware of her disgraceful behavior and felt a certain degree of shame about it, after weighing her interests, she still made the choice that was best for herself.
Face, this thing is not important, it is just a piece of face, there is no real benefit.At this age, she is naturally pretty open about it.In comparison, Peter is not so shameless.
When Ancient One said nothing, he just smiled and shook hands with Stark.Peter immediately turned his face and shouted at his men.
There is no need for them to exist here anymore, so he will naturally want to take his brothers and leave here.After all, they are now wanted criminals.As a wanted criminal, appearing openly in front of these big shots is an eyesore in itself.He's not that ignorant yet, so leaving is his best choice.
Of course, he can also make a certain deal with Stark like the Ancient One did in exchange for a change in his identity.However, his dignity prevented him from doing such a thing.So he would rather choose the worst outcome.
This is very regrettable.At the very least, when Stark saw Peter's determination, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
For him, since he chose to have an affair with Gu Yi, it is not impossible to forgive another Peter.As long as he can be given a step down that he can climb down, everything will be just a matter of course.
However, Peter's choice basically eliminated this possibility.Even if he thought about it in his heart, he couldn't lower himself to say this and make any generous promise to him.In any case, he is the commander-in-chief of the United States, and there are some things he cannot directly say even if he wants to.And besides, who can guarantee that even if he said this, Peter would accept his kindness?If he said it out loud and Peter refused him in person, then it wouldn't just be one or two people who would be embarrassed.
As a qualified politician, he must consider all aspects of this issue.And it was precisely because of these considerations that he could only tilt his head and communicate with Gu Yi as if he couldn't see Peter and the others.
"The war is over. What are your plans next? Your Excellency Ancient One. Are you going to continue your secluded life as mages, or are you going to change your lifestyle?"
"I'm not sure yet, Lord Stark. Maybe I will go back to the original location of Karma Taj and stay for a while to decide what to do next."
Ancient One's answer was somewhat ambiguous.This is not only to prevent interested people from discovering their plans, but also to give Stark and Peter a reasonable step down.
She could see Stark's confusion.From her point of view, she actually doesn't want to see Peter and Stark reach a reconciliation and stage a drama where they meet and laugh away their grudges.
The existence of Ghost Rider is like an indestructible sword.And such a sharp sword is really not suitable to be in the hands of any secular country.That would break the balance between countries and bring many things to the surface that should not exist in the secular world.
This is not what Gu Yi wants to see.Therefore, although the current development of the situation was a bit unfair to Peter, she still let it all go and allowed the situation to develop like this.She even said that in order to prevent Stark from suddenly changing his mind, she specifically mentioned a topic that Stark had to care about at this time.
"Lord Stark, your son, my disciple Frank. I want to take him with me when I go to Karma Taj. You should also know that Frank has extraordinary talents in this area. I I feel that we should not waste this talent. So I gave him to me and let me take him to practice at a deeper level. I think this should be a very good choice for his future."
Frank is the secret treasure in Stark's heart and one of the people he cherishes most in the world.When things involved him, out of a father's instinct, Stark had to turn his attention.
"Do you think highly of Frank? Although I admit that he is very smart, is he really as talented in magic as you say?"
"Of course, you should trust my vision. Frank's qualifications are the best I have seen in hundreds of years. I have full confidence. As long as you agree to let him accept my careful cultivation, sooner or later, he will You can inherit my mantle and become the Supreme Mage. Although this is just a name, the name itself represents some special meaning. Doesn't it?"
Although it was true to say that, but hearing that Gu Yi used the Supreme Mage as rhetoric, Stark still couldn't help but feel a different kind of emotion in his heart.
Others don't know how that unlucky guy Modu embarked on this extreme path, but he knows it very well.Perhaps Modu's own thoughts were responsible for a considerable part of the factors, but he felt that more of the reasons might lie in the name Supreme Mage.
If he hadn't been too eager for this name, and if Gu Yita had taken this name too seriously and kept it hidden, maybe he wouldn't have reached this point today.
All in all, this is a thing that can trick people to death, and to put such a thing on his son's head, even if it is only a possibility, Stark will never be willing to do so.So he rejected Gu Yi's kindness, even if it was very tactful, but in the end he rejected it.
"I'm very happy that you value Frank's talent so much. But if you want him to inherit your mantle, then I'm sorry, Your Excellency Ancient One. As a father, please forgive me for not accepting such a proposal."
"Can I ask why?"
The title of Supreme Mage can be said to be the most valuable bargaining chip in Gu Yi's hand.It represents the orthodox ruling power of Kama Taj's line and all the knowledge she has accumulated over thousands of years.Coupled with the deterrent power of this name in the mysterious world, in terms of value alone, it would not even be inferior to the leadership of any country.
This means she doesn't say this casually.If she were willing to open her mouth casually, believe it or not, the person who wants to steal this reputation would be able to squeeze her head out.Not talking about the mages of Kama Taj's faction, even those national forces, how many of them would not be tempted by this after seeing the power of her supreme mage?
Stark's decision in this situation is absolutely unexpected.As for his decision that no one could have imagined, Gu Yi certainly wanted to know the reason why he would say that.
Of course, on this issue, Stark can't say that he thinks this name is unlucky and doesn't want to push his son into the fire pit.The Supreme Mage still wanted to save face, and he couldn't do something like slap her in the face.So after coughing twice, he gave a reason that was not a reason.
"You know, my family still has a huge industry. The Stark family business was started with hard work by my father's generation. I don't want it to be cut off when it reaches my generation. Besides, , compared to magic, I hope Frank can be more successful on the road of science. After all, our family has been doing this for generations. If I just jump to the other side casually, I think I will die. The evil father who has been dead for many years will definitely come back to cause trouble for me!"
This is just a reason, Gu Yi can hear it.Naturally, she didn't want to be shy about such excuses, and continued to fight as if there was no other choice except your son.She is not so cheap, and the name of Supreme Mage is not so worthless.So, after being silent for a while, she smiled and said this to Stark.
"Really? That's really a pity. However, even if Frank doesn't inherit this title, he can still be a great mage, right? His talent is so outstanding that it really shouldn't be wasted like this."
"Of course. It's his honor to have you as his teacher. I don't want him to waste such a good opportunity!"
As long as the fundamental interests of both parties are not harmed, they are naturally willing to give each other some courtesy compliments.This is harmless, and many people see the intrigue between these two guys, but don't say a word.
There is certainly some reason for fear in this.After all, no one was willing to rashly provoke them before they could figure out what kind of relationship Stark had with the Supreme Mage who could easily change the situation of the battle.It's okay for Stark to say that the bald woman named Supreme Mage, who knows what kind of temper she has.If she was a weirdo, then maybe she would be angry at herself for interrupting.
No one is willing to take this risk until they understand the temper of the Supreme Mage.That's why the leaders of these countries stared blankly, watching Stark and Ancient One hook up.
This is one reason, and the other reason is that they also need to discuss internally on how to establish a relationship with a character like the Supreme Mage.
This is like a big gambling game. Only those with sufficient capital are qualified to stand at the gambling table, and those small countries that can only act based on others' glances can only shout from the sidelines at most.Even though this has eliminated a considerable number of unqualified people, you must know that there is only one role like the Supreme Mage, and there is only one Supreme Mage, which means that only one party in this big gamble is qualified to have the last laugh. of.
In the past, this would have been a situation of overt and covert attacks, with everyone showing off their tactics.But in the current international situation, if they still play this trick, it will obviously make some people laugh in the dark.
The general trend requires them not to engage in this kind of internal strife, so they should negotiate a result now and elect a recognized winner through the cession of interests. This is probably the only choice they can make.
Many people are looking for this winner, and it usually depends on which one of them can offer the most generous terms.To put it plainly, this is just like canvassing votes before the election. It is impossible to expect everything to be peaceful and smooth here.Arguing into a pot of porridge is the most normal situation at the moment.
As for who is the ultimate recipient of this benefit, although Stark does not care on the surface, in fact he has already set his ears and is waiting for the final result to be announced.
