Marvel: It Starts with a Spell

In the Black Mountain Bar, a bruised and battered gangster took a big gulp of liquor: "Boss Dean, you have to help me get revenge!"

A man in a peaked cap was drinking beer while looking at his younger brother: "Freud, you really waste this name. Your father gave you a philosopher's name, and now you can't even handle a small department store employee?"

"That guy is tall and strong, really tall..."

"Okay, okay, Floyd, I'll make them pay for protection. All the stores in this block will have to pay us the protection money."

"Boss, should we go look for that turtle? There's a reward of tens of thousands of dollars for it." A short and fat man next to him drank his beer and wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth.

"That guy's reward is so weird. He wants a turtle with a rabbit carved on its back. Where can we find such a turtle? Otherwise, we can just buy a turtle and pretend it is there." Floyd said disdainfully.

"No, it's said that the person who offered the reward is a big shot. Several people who did this have three legs broken. Let's try to find it. If we can't find it, forget it. We can't pass it off as real." Dean was well-informed. He analyzed the pros and cons for everyone and made them give up the idea of ​​faking it. "Let's go and solve the problem of the department store in the next two days. Let them know that in this neighborhood, we, the Bullet Gang, have the final say."

At this time, Li Huang was looking at a map in a hotel in Norway, searching for somewhere.

"Tønsberg, Tønsberg...ah, here, where are the photos or something?"

Li Huang came here this time to find the church where the Cosmic Cube was hidden. In his memory, the Cosmic Cube was taken away by the Red Skull in 1942, but he didn't know the exact time. This time he came to see if he could get the Cosmic Cube, which was part of his current plan.

The department store had been open for nearly half a month and everything was normal. Li Huang told the two that he had something to do and would be away for two days. He then teleported to Norway to get the Cosmic Cube.

Tønsberg is the place where the Asgard Protoss and the Frost Giants fought a war thousands of years ago. Later, for unknown reasons, Odin left the Tesseract, also known as the Space Stone, in Tønsberg. During World War II, it was found by the leader of Hydra, the Red Skull Johann Schmidt, and taken away for development. During World War II, Dr. Zora of Hydra used the energy of the Tesseract to develop a series of weapons and equipment. Finally, when Captain America led the Howling Commandos to attack the Hydra base, the Red Skull left with the Tesseract and drove a plane to drop bombs on New York. In order to protect New York, Captain America accidentally activated the Tesseract in the battle with the Red Skull and teleported the Red Skull to the planet Vermeer. The Tesseract sank into the sea, and Captain America drove the plane into the deep sea and began a 70-year hibernation.

The sky of Tønsberg was covered with dark clouds. Even at noon, the world was dark and gloomy. The damp wind swept across Li Huang's face. He was standing in front of a half-collapsed church. It was the church where the Cosmic Cube was stored in the original movie. Judging from the degree of collapse of the church in front of him, the Cosmic Cube was most likely taken away by the Red Skull.

"Forget it, let's go in and take a look. Maybe this world will be different." Li Huang held on to a glimmer of hope.

But after entering, the scene inside made him realize that his luck was of no use at all. On the floor of the church, there was a rotting corpse lying, and in the middle was an opened sarcophagus. Perhaps due to the humidity, some mycelium had grown on the body of the mummy in the coffin.

On the wall behind, a stone relief outlines a magnificent giant tree with luxuriant branches and leaves and intricate branches. It is the legendary World Tree - Yggdrasil.

But now, there is a square hole on the wall relief, and that place is exactly where the Cosmic Cube was originally hidden. Li Huang sighed and could only blame himself for his bad luck. He came a step too late, and this Marvel artifact was taken away by the Red Skull.

"Then we can only change to plan B."

Looking at the rotting body of the priest, Li Huang felt sorry for him. After all, he was a man who dared to resist the Red Skull. He couldn't bear to leave his body exposed in the wilderness. Looking around, he saw that the sword in the sarcophagus was at least a tool. He planned to dig a hole on the spot to bury the priest. Li Huang suppressed his nausea and pulled out the big sword from the arms of the mummy.

[Mysterious King's Sword] The mysterious heirloom sword of the ancient king, a long sword forged from ancient divine metals, meteorites from outer space, and ancient magic materials. It can cut iron like mud and slay evil spirits.

Value: 1100 Exchange Points

Unexpectedly, this thing turned out to be a treasure. Li Huang took out his sword and chopped at the collapsed stone pillar on the side. Li Huang felt his hand stagnate, and then it seemed as if the sword cut through tofu. A piece of the stone pillar was instantly chopped off and fell to the ground with a crisp clicking sound.

Li Huang brought the sword in front of him and looked at it carefully. The rust on the blade that had just cut the stone pillar had fallen off, revealing a blade that was shining with a cold light.

"Bang, bang!" Li Huang flicked the sword with his fingers, dust and rust flew up. He took off his coat and slowly wiped the sword edge, and a silver light flashed.

"Zheng——" He chopped the stone pillar again, like a sword cutting through water, with almost no feeling, and the cut surface of the stone pillar was as smooth as a mirror.

"Good sword!" Li Huang was delighted. He did not expect to have extra gains on this trip. With a few slashes of the sword, Li Huang hollowed out a collapsed stone pillar on one side, forming a stone coffin, and buried the priest inside.

The next moment, Li Huang disappeared out of thin air, returned to New York, and hid the sword.

Li Huang spent some time in the afternoon cooking some dishes, which he prepared to take to the store. The two young men stayed in the store all day and were not on time for meals, so most of the time Li Huang cooked some dishes for them and brought them over.

"Hey, Steve, look what I brought you."

"Wow, boss, you're back." Bucky came over and took the food from him while Steve was giving change to the customers.

"Hey, Bucky, what happened to your face?" Li Huang saw a bruise on Bucky's face. "Did someone come to cause trouble?" He didn't expect that his friend would be beaten up after he was away for two or three days.

“It’s no big deal, just a few thugs. Brooklyn has the most of these things.” Bucky smiled and said nonchalantly. Now Bucky has not become the Winter Soldier, nor has he become cruel and cold-blooded. He is just a young man in his twenties.

"Next time, don't be impulsive. If they want money, just give it to them. When you have time, tell me and I will handle it."

"I see. It's really okay." Bucky grinned and took out a chicken leg from the bag and started chewing it. "Mm, delicious. As long as you eat something good, these minor injuries will heal quickly."

Li Huang shook his head helplessly and called Steve, who had collected the bill, to come over for dinner.

A man in a baseball cap pushed the door open, followed by a dozen thugs dressed in different styles and reeking of alcohol.

"It seems that your dinner is good. How about sharing some with me?"
