A Bouquet for Rocky [Comprehensive British and American]

Of course, the building has been cleaned up now. The efficiency of artificial people and cleaning robots is astonishing. Even the most advanced detection technology can't find bloodstains on the scene, as if nothing happened.

The man's body is lying in the S.H.I.E.L.D. for an autopsy. After all, the man's death condition is too bizarre. There are scratches all over his body. The inside of his body began to be burned along a special path. The extremities spread all the way to the heart, and the severe pain caused his limbs to twist unnaturally, but no abnormalities could be seen on the outside.

"I also really want to know what happened to this person. He is obviously also a participant in the Holy Grail War, and after comparison, this person belongs to Hydra, and should be the Master of Archer in this Holy Grail War."

Philip, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., came down the stairs, opened his briefcase and looked at Eve: "Although the Magic Association has repeatedly claimed that the Holy Grail War is your own war among magicians, and that outside forces should not rashly intervene, but The situation has already happened to this point, and we can no longer ignore it."

Eve was a little unclear for a while, what made him care was whether the magician's battles involved innocent ordinary people several times, or it came from Frigga's prophecy about the end of the world.

Maybe it's a bit of both.

"Perhaps, you can tell me how he died? Although the cause of death we detected was an unexplained high fever inside the body, I would like to know the more fundamental reason - the reason analyzed from the perspective of magic."

Eve glanced at the screen, and the man's body had obvious scorching marks along the magic circuit: "This is obviously cursed, he was cursed."

"Curse to make him burn like this?"

Tony Stark couldn't help asking: "It's like escaping from the scene of the fire... To be honest, you magicians shouldn't be afraid of ordinary fires, right? If it weren't for the fact that this guy was a temporary cleaner If it is an artificial human, it is estimated that ordinary people will be scared to death when they go to work in the morning."

The person involved stood up and testified blankly that it was indeed one of the artificial humans that Mujik left in the Avengers Building: "I saw him hanging here early in the morning."

And he hesitated for a while because of judging whether it was non-recyclable garbage or wet garbage. In the end, the confused android decided to report to his temporary boss, scaring Tony Stark to put on his battle suit and fly over early in the morning.

The way of thinking of the artificial man is indeed extraordinary.

"The autopsy concluded that he was dead before being hung from the building."

Detective Philip added: "The cause of death was an unknown high temperature in his body. Before he died, his pain-sensing neurotransmitters were highly active. This person died in great pain, beyond ordinary people's imagination."

Eve glanced at the screen again, the magic circuit had been baked into such a state, if it was her, she might be very familiar... She suddenly felt a lingering fear.

"First of all, I want to know, will ordinary people be involved in this curse? If so, do you know of any way to avoid it?"

Steve Rogers still pays more attention to ordinary citizens: "It's a good thing for us to happen to be a member of Hydra this time, but we can't expect the guy who does this kind of thing to obey the rules every time."

In other words, for a magician who can curse and kill others in such a cruel way, the possibility of expecting him to obey the rules is close to zero. I can only sigh that fortunately he is on the opposite side of Hydra this time-the Holy Grail War was originally It is not surprising that such a situation occurred in the melee of seven people.

"The vast majority of ordinary people will not be affected."

Eve said hesitantly, and carefully identified the surrounding people: "Most of you who are not so ordinary will definitely be fine. The principle of this curse is to burn the opponent's magic power directly through the magic circuit. The more magic power The stronger the effect of the huge burn, the more this person can still maintain a whole body. If the other party's curse target is me and I fail to take effective resistance measures, according to the magic power of 120 eight main magic circuits, it will directly burned to carbonization."

——Said the terrible content solemnly.

"Do you mean Stephen by that small part?"

Bruce Banner pushed his glasses: "Since the principle is what burns you, the magic circuit."

He still believed that the second magician could find a way to protect himself.

"Actually, there's that one."

Eve pointed to Philip who looked surprised: "Anyone who has the qualifications of a magician may become a target, no matter whether they have received the education of a magician or not."

"Does that mean I could become a magician if I get the right education?"

Detective Philip raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "I also have a magic circuit?"

This was the first time he had heard of it at such an advanced age.

"They are all not activated, and there are not many."

Eve sized it up: "But if you have been educated as a magician since childhood, you should be able to climb to the position of the sacrificial altar (Fes) by now."

The criterion for judging an excellent magician is not necessarily limited to the number of magic circuits. Her teacher El Mello II is a classic example.

"Well, let's not talk about whether I have magic talent or not."

He probably knows what rank the sacrificial seat is, but obviously his talent as an agent is greater than that of a magician... Philip decided to focus: "Evelia, do you know who caused this person... a tragic death Also, do you think he will only target the magicians of the Holy Grail War, or is it possible to attack others indiscriminately?"

"This curse cannot be free, otherwise Mujik would not be alive today."

Eve judged calmly: "Besides, the person who killed this magician and the person who hung him here should not be the same."

The expressions of Tony Stark and Agent Philip changed at the same time.The two looked at each other, and the former said, "That's right, I'm sorry that we didn't fully release the information due to some doubts and concerns... In fact, there is still a surveillance video, and this person is Gilgamesh himself hanging there of."

Natasha Romanov added: "And he made faces at the camera, and he didn't look worried that we would find out. Rather, he did it on purpose so that others would find out."

In the video, Gilgamesh's expression towards the camera is sure to win. If you don't consider the bloody and horrible thing he just did, he is really a very cute kid in terms of appearance.

"Our worst guess is that Archer made some kind of agreement with other Masters, so he killed his own Master."

But in the case of command spells, it is difficult to do this.

Clinton Barton adjusted his bow and arrow: "This presumed Master candidate also includes you, but you seem to be being hunted down before Strange catches you, so our prediction has been adjusted, you Looks really ignorant."

Regarding the fact that she was also in the doubt queue just now, Eve's expression did not fluctuate.It is the duty of S.H.I.E.L.D. to make all the worst plans. It would be better to say that if this point is not considered, this organization will not be able to operate at all.

"I was hunted down by a man named Kadafels before, but this may not be his real name. The other party claims to be an immortal magician, and the follower's real name is Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld. .”

Eve has no reservations about this information: "Maybe you can look at the Mesopotamian mythology again. She and Gilgamesh have the same source."

"It's really enough for these gods to fight."

Bruce Banner couldn't help complaining: "Norse mythology alone gives me a headache. In the past two years, my understanding of myths and legends has exceeded the sum of my entire life in the past. When I was studying gamma rays, I never thought about it. One day I'm going to study theology too."

"And not only theology, but also magic."

Tony Stark shrugged.

"That's magic."

Zig, who was watching the whole process, reminded.

Strange stopped this meaningless debate: "One more thing, maybe we have welcomed a visitor from another world. The other party claimed to be the Master of Chaldea, a human watchdog organization, and he is now waiting in St. Outside the hall, after hearing that a person surnamed Einzbern participated in this Holy Grail War, the other party said that he definitely wants to meet you, maybe you know each other in another parallel world."

Steve Rogers frowned feeling a little headache: "...I always feel that too many things happened in one day today, the inexplicable earthquake, the magician who died suddenly, and now tell me that there are still people from different worlds. The guy who came..."

"Do you feel that your world view has been smashed to pieces and needs to be glued together bit by bit?"

Tony Stark rarely kindly walked over and patted Steve on the shoulder: "I was in the same mood when I first heard that there are magicians in this world."

But now his strong ability to accept has made him start arranging a group of artificial humans to do odd jobs in Stark Industries.

"Are you sure that the other party is from a place called Chaldeas?"

Eve frowned and asked repeatedly.

"That's right, in the spells in the New York Temple, I have a complete lie detection mechanism, which can make sure that the other party has no malice against me, and everything they say is the truth—if they are not crazy enough to interfere with their cognition Words that forcibly distort thinking.”

Stephen Strange looked around and took a deep breath: "Besides the Animsphia, the future is gradually becoming clear under the observation of the Eye of Agamotto. But this clarity is good or not It's too bad to say for now..."

He looked at Eve: "Excuse me, now it is necessary to integrate all the information we know. Can you ask Caster to come over too? Since it is related to the field of magic, it is always a good thing to have one more excellent magician."

Eve nodded, gathering the magic power in her right eye.The power flowing in the emerald green eyes connects this eye to the distance, and the cross-linking of audio-visual information allows her to convey this invitation to Loki's end.

"I called him."

Eve shrugged at the large group of people staring at her: "But I can't guarantee that he will come."

"Don't engage in special circumstances and accidents at this time, Evelia, we need you to face this matter with a serious attitude. This is not just a Holy Grail War involving magicians, it is very likely to be related to Many lives."

Detective Philip propped his hands on the table, leaned out most of his body and looked down at Eve, with a serious and oppressive expression.The magician's expression was uncompromising, and he looked back without fear, which made Steve Rogers couldn't help but stand up to smooth things over.

"I have already warned, no one can kill that guy except me."

Loki spread his hands and looked at Cadafels helplessly. The latter was full of annoyance, and the Command Seal on his arm was missing a stroke.It was an extremely unpleasant mistake for him to force Ereshkigal to unfold the Noble Phantasm and cut off the supply of magic power in the middle.

Unexpectedly, the last time the sniper shot missed, this time there was only one magical response in the entire underground parking lot, and Lingfeng couldn't take the magician away when he stepped on the scorpion of the underworld. I want to vomit a mouthful of blood—it’s luck, and it’s a little bit too lucky, but if I directly liberate the treasure...

"I know what you're thinking, it's useless."

Loki glanced at Kadafils: "I only said that I can kill her, because as a Caster, I always have a way to make that guy undefended, but it will take some time for the specific action to gain trust. It takes a process. If you release the treasure on the spot, the group of S.H.I.E.L.D. will focus on you at most. When she was sniped before, her escape route was designed, and she had already laid out the space according to the veins. The teleportation formula, if you don’t believe me, you can check it now.”

——The way to compress the teleportation magic into one project is to return the magic seal he carved himself, but he didn't expect that this Einzbern could use it proficiently within a few days.

"Damn it, the three caves of the cunning rabbit..."

Kadafils hammered the table in boredom, and a teacup jumped in place with the vibration: "Escaped from Ereshkigal's hands without a follower!"

"Now do you understand? According to the original plan, you go to deal with that Gilgamesh. Anyway, his Master is dead and can't make any waves. I will deal with that Einzbern and the remaining Riders." Let's think of a way together with Berserker, with Ereshkigal's power and my magic, plus your undead nature, it's almost an invincible combination, isn't it?"

Loki hinted frantically: "The Holy Grail is within your reach."

His right eye is a little hot, which is the call of the magician.Loki gently rubbed his eye sockets without any trace, and a small cluster of magic power flowed through his fingertips to show that he already knew it. Facing Kadafels, he showed a smile in the style of a god of tricks: "Then look forward to it One meeting, the Holy Grail will finally be in your hands."

The latter nodded indistinctly: "Remember your promise."

"of course."

Loki disappeared in place.
