The Beauty of Light on Earth

“…orbia

g'odhun a'l korok boda uh'mmor ok angalor…”

Staying alone in the rest area of ​​the Fiskar Skybus, Lucian leaned his whole back against the sofa, raised his head and closed his eyes. He hummed a piece of music that was widely circulated in the Eastern Kingdom of Azeroth with some exhaustion. Mr. Ya, who went to Florida, was holding an emergency meeting in the conference room. .

Ever since the Stark Industries Expo, Fisk launched new weapons and vehicles. I don’t know when it started to be in the awkward position of being well-received but not well-received. After the beginning of the new year, first SHIELD gradually reduced the number of product purchases, and just now the US military tower News came from School Albot that the national defense armament budget for the second half of the year was actually rejected by Congress, and the scheduled procurement plan will be postponed if necessary.

Unrestrained rapid expansion, no matter the cost of research and experiments, regardless of the actual number of orders, countless weapons and vehicles have been piled up in the Tower of Babel at full power. Skardu has already achieved the level of two sets for each MTF team member, and has been making continuous improvements based on actual combat conditions.

After several years of crazy squandering, the thick account book that Laura looked through when she officially inherited the family business... now only has the contents of an A4 paper.

"Lucian..." After the emergency meeting, Mr. Ya came to the rest area and sat on the sofa opposite. He looked at Lucian with some worry and called softly.

"What's the result, Ya?" Still looking like the old god, Lucian reached out and pinched the mountain root and asked.

"Hey... no bank is willing to lend to us anymore. Now it's not that we lack profitable projects, but the flow of money we need is too scary. I think Fiskar should cut back on scientific research expenditures, Lucien! If we continue to do this regardless of the cost... The fact is we are insolvent."

"Insolvent? Who said that? What's Wall Street's attitude?"

"Merrill Lynch, Morgan, and Blackstone are all interested in Fiskar. As long as we are willing to sell the foundation or part of Fiskar's shares, they will guarantee that they will give us an absolutely surprising price..." He finished with some embarrassment. After accepting the conditions, Ya sighed and picked up the water cup on the coffee table and drank it in one gulp.

"Ya, tell me who is behind this." Lucien asked after a moment of silence.

"The entire Wall Street...all the capital..." Ya shouted out with some resentment and some venting. He couldn't understand why he agreed to such a crazy plan in the first place. Although he knew that Lucien would never compromise, Ya still explained sincerely, "Lucian, every field has a set of operating rules. In the field of capital on Wall Street, no one can eat alone. Even if you come up with good ideas and creativity, you have the majority, but you still have to share a piece of the pie." Everyone, in the past, companies like ours that lived alone would probably have their graves two meters high. The fact that Fiskar has been able to survive until now is an exception. During this period, many people have expressed their gratitude to me for Fiskar. I don’t want us to go to the dark side on this road. Lucian, please find a partner. Many friends will lead to many paths. As long as you let go, I promise to solve the financial problem today." In any case, Ya has tied his life to the Crawford family. Being together, one would be harmed and the other would be prosperous. He really didn't want to see Fisk fall in the darkness before dawn.

"I understand." Lucien stood up with a calm expression and said softly to Mr. Ya, "Don't let these small problems affect the construction of the museum exhibition hall. Please take care of Crawford's charity dinner. I will take care of the money." Let's take care of it." After saying that, Lucian disappeared in a flash of golden light under Mr. Ya's amazed gaze.

...

Ignoring the distance in space, Morrigan activated the Holy Light Beacon and instantly pulled Lucian to the Leah Desert, where the war was ongoing. The two factions of tribal armed forces currently fighting fiercely here felt a sandstorm hit, and then saw a man wearing a windbreaker. The black-haired young man suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Without saying a word, various weapons came to greet Lucian, and bullets were fired at Lucian like raindrops, which really confirmed the old saying that if you don't seek death, you will not die.

Six golden long blades formed instantly, and groups of three and three flew towards the armed positions of the two tribes with lightning speed. Lucian was attacked for no reason when he arrived. The reason why he was not killed was because Lucian himself was strong, so now he would fight back against these tribes. Whether the armed forces can survive depends on their strength.

The long blade swam quickly between the two factions' positions like a fish. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire stopped. Morrigan, who had been hiding her figure, appeared next to Lucian. She took out the Entropy Demon Crystal and began to absorb the souls that spilled out.

In the past few years, Morrigan has been secretly working in the most turbulent areas around the world, absorbing the souls of those who died in the war for the Entropy Demon Crystal. The Entropy Demon Crystal has begun to transform from bright blue light to porcelain white light. Lucien estimates that it will be used It won't take long for it to be transformed into Naaru Fragments.

A few rays of holy light helped Morrigan wash away the dust on her armor, and Lucian said in his heart: "Let's go to London together, we are going to fight again."

After handing the entropy demon crystal to Lucian, Morrigan turned into a shadow, and dazzling golden wings shot out from Lucian's back. After applying the fading spell, Lucian immediately flew to London. For the next period of time, Lucian stayed alone. After rummaging through the antique collection in the British Museum, I finally found the goal of my trip, "Ketayat, the Water God" on a stone slab.

As the maker of Fiskar's rules, Lucian was also bound by the rules and gave up many convenient and fast fundraising methods. He could only look for possibilities on the opposite side of human understanding.

According to the records of "Water God Ketayat", there are nine underwater cities on earth where deep divers live: somewhere in Medicine Hat in Canada, deep in the Gulf of Mexico, next to Machuchu in Peru, and already Along the lost coast of Innsmouth, the sea with Pohnpei as the center, the coast of Myanmar in southwest Asia, the seabed of the East Pillar City of Irun, around El Negro in Algeria, and near the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

As the saying goes, the plan cannot be changed quickly. Lucian, who originally wanted to use these underwater cities as a future training ground, had to go to the deep diver cities in advance to raise funds.

The Azores Islands are located at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and the Earth-Sea. After the advent of the Age of Discovery, they became a famous supply point along the busy ocean routes. Over the past hundreds of years, countless treasure ships departing from the American continent and transporting gold sank here. After setting the location, Lucian didn't show any pretense and flew directly to the Azores Islands and plunged into the depths of the ocean, disappearing from people's sight again.

The first person to notice the abnormality was the local fishermen of the Azores Islands. I don’t know when, a large area of ​​red water began to appear in the nearby waters, accompanied by a strong fishy smell. At its strongest, no matter where you were in the archipelago The pungent smell could be smelled from everywhere, and strange corpses floating on the sea were occasionally found in the early days. Local fishermen who didn't know why quickly reported the information to the government.

SHIELD, which had experienced the haze at Innsmouth, urgently dispatched a special response team headed by level [-] agent Argyle Brand to the waters of the Azores Islands, and teamed up with the Portuguese government to block the relevant sea areas and began to investigate the incident. the truth.

At the same time, news of Lucien's mysterious disappearance also appeared on Nick Fury's desk, and the uneasy premonition soon became a reality in the following developments.

As time goes by, more and more corpses of deep divers float on the surface of the water. Some days, the corpses floating on the surface of the sea even cover the entire sea area. The bright red blood mixed with the pungent fish smell accompanied the sea breeze and ocean currents. It spread to the coasts of Europe and Africa, causing panic.

The deep-sea submarine urgently mobilized by S.H.I.E.L.D. passed through the chaotic blood and the dense group of remains floating in the ocean towards the predicted accident point. During this period, the various images from the real-time surveillance made those experienced agents They were so shocked that some young agents even vomited and some even said they had never eaten a fish in their lives.

Under the deep-water flares, a magnificent undersea city appeared in front of everyone. With the commander's permission, three seabed exploration robots for scientific research were released by the submarine and headed towards the lifeless deep-sea city.

Magnificent city walls, towering stone pillars, bottomless foundation stones and criss-crossing hanging corridors connecting tall buildings, a deep-sea city that is even more spectacular than Ihasli has now entered the eyes of the world.
