Chapter five hundred and thirty first double agent
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 among the androids,
Tactical commanders and coaches of various training courses, whether it is Catherine or Aura, Agent Romanoff can chat with them for a few words-except for Tita, the wheat-colored android. Her indifferent expression is enough to freeze
With the orange-red flames burning in the fireplace, Agent Romanov rarely saw her smile. Even next to her creator Salomon, Tita would try to be fully armed, wearing a helmet, and her left hand would always carry the gun on her waist.
On the hilt of the gorgeous golden long sword, the index finger and thumb of the right hand, wrapped in exquisite, black-lacquered steel gloves, are not too far away from the bolt gun.
Tita is responsible for the military strength of the Sisterhood. Salomon must have sent Tita out to perform some key mission. Otherwise, he would have sent Victoria Hand agent, who would have used the lives of those Hydra agents.
To the extreme, squeeze out the value of every drop of their blood - Salomon and Romanov said when watching Agent Hand's action report that if Agent Hand had magnetic superpowers, she would definitely drain the blood of those Hydra agents
The iron in it is sucked out and sold 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. The 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 collides with Tita 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
The Steel Wings distributed on a large scale. Although the specific parameters cannot be obtained, Natasha also knows that it is a high-tech equipment that may allow the user to fly at the speed of sound. Generally speaking, only artificial talents responsible for close combat
Wings of Steel will be issued, but there are not many members of the sisterhood now, so everyone can be equipped with a set to increase mobility on the battlefield.
Her recording equipment is online at all times, but she cannot collect much information at this moment. Salomon also knows the purpose of Agent Romanoff, but he pretends not to know - after all, she has already been with him and Nick Fury.
A bridge of communication has been established between them, and there is really no need to be harsh on her. She has too many tasks. Natasha also knows that Salomon knows about her tasks, but never reveals them, which makes her feel that Salomon is very
Being considerate - it is also because of this that she is willing to help Salomon contact Nick Fury, and they become a double agent. She does not want two people with the same goal to have a life-or-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 person inside.
It looks similar to a 19th century seismograph. A silver wire is hooked to a ruby specially polished into a spindle shape. Under the ruby is a long paper tape, which is 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 wizarding world, and it is also
There is no need to pay phone bills. But 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 messages.
The parchment 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, 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 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 a phone number is required to make a call, the real name is a person's phone number. Only people with a password or phone number can access open Bluetooth and wifi. Today's class is not serious, so Salomon took advantage of the break to ask
Pietro and Wanda chatted about gossip, 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 make predictions. 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 had three views on the universe - the first view was to view the universe as a magnificent harmonious organism in which all parts are interconnected with each other.
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 are
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 can be explained as being caused by matter in accordance with strict natural laws, and the laws and principles must be
In principle, it can be discovered and understood by the human mind." Salomon said, "Maybe this sounds too scientific to have anything to do with magic, but in fact the third view is very relevant to magic. We want to
To learn magic with positivist ideas, the traditional model of occultness only applies to ancient theology. Why do you say that? You haven't learned that part yet, don't rush to take notes, it's just chatting - 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 must regard ether as an objectively existing energy rather than a hidden occult concept."
