Chapter 535 Double Agent (Second Change)

The people Natasha Romanoff saw most often in the Immortal City, aside from Stephanie and her team who handled financial and administrative paperwork, were the artificial humans.Especially the team commanders, tactical commanders, and coaches of various training courses among the androids. Whether it is Catherine or Ola, Agent Romanov can chat with them a few words—except for Tita, the wheat-colored man artificial human.Her indifferent expression was enough to freeze the orange-red flame burning in the fireplace, and Agent Romanov had rarely seen her smile.Even at the side of her creator Salomon, Tita tries to be as fully armed as possible, with a helmet on, and her left hand always rests on the hilt of an ornate golden longsword at her waist, covered by a delicate, black-painted The index finger and thumb of the right hand wrapped in a steel glove will not be too far from the bolter.

Tita was in charge of the Sisterhood's military force, and Salomon must have sent Tita out to perform a critical mission.Otherwise he would have sent Agent Victoria Hand, who would take the lives of those HYDRA agents to the limit, draining every drop of their blood's worth - Salomon and Romanov watching Agent Hand in action It was said in the report that if Agent Hand had magnetic superpowers, she would definitely suck the iron in the blood of those Hydra agents and sell them 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 did Tita go?" Agent Romanov slowed down his tone.

Salomon refused. "You can't know about it," he said. "It's a secret. A secret is a secret because no one else knows."

"Is it about Nick Fury?"

"Less than one percent." Salomon said, "What Tita did will have very little disturbance to Nick Fury's plan, unless he now runs into Tita directly. But you remember Tita The equipment? She put on the steel wings." Natasha recalled the wing-like pendant on the back of the power armor of the Sisterhood. According to the information she obtained, the wings went through many iterations and finally formed the big Iron Wings distributed in scale.Although the specific parameters were not available, Natasha also knew that it was a piece of high-tech equipment, which might allow the user to fly at the speed of sound.Generally speaking, only cyborgs in charge of close quarters combat will be issued steel wings, but now there are not many members of the sisterhood, and everyone can be equipped with one set to increase battlefield mobility.

Her recording equipment is always online, but at the moment she cannot gather much information.Salomon also knew the purpose of Agent Romanov, but he pretended not to know—after all, she had already built a communication bridge between him and Nick Fury, so there was no need to demand more from her, her task was too too much.Natasha also knew that Salomon knew about her mission, but never revealed it, which made her feel that Salomon was very understanding—and because of this, she was willing to help Salomon contact Nick Fury, There was a double agent between the two, and she didn't want the two people with the same goal to be in a life-and-death situation.

"Okay." Natasha shrugged, "It seems to be something about magic."

"Bingo!" A bright light suddenly appeared on Salomon's head. "A troublesome person has come to the earth. My teacher just told me today." Salomon opened the drawer and showed what looked like a 19th century seismograph inside.A silver thread hooked a specially polished ruby ​​into a spindle shape, and underneath the ruby ​​was a long paper tape, which was pressed on a brass scale. "This is a device that can accept telephony on my behalf." He pointed to the string of small Latin characters engraved on the ruby, "It can receive some telephony messages on my behalf - this thing is very popular in the magic world, There is no need to pay the phone bill. It’s just that the price of this thing is too expensive, and it is necessary to specially select gems with magical powers, find craftsmen who are willing to cut gems, and even the magician himself must have a certain amount of hands-on ability, because it is used to record The parchment of the message also needs to be soaked in potion."

"You magicians don't know how to use mobile phones?"

"There are always times when you are not in the service area, my dear." Salomon said, "Mobile phones need operators, and telepathic calls need the etheric plane and the outer plane. If the distance is too far, telepathic calls may not be able to be dialed. , and the message cannot be sent. In fact, there are spells specially 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 such an extent." Wanda tilted her head and said, "Could magic be combined with science?"

"Yes. Magic itself is a discipline mixed with rationality, sensibility, and emotion. Except for warlocks who are born or accidentally acquire magic power, they don't need to learn. Generally, spellcasters have basic scientific concepts and rational thinking." Sa Lomon used phantoms to show Wanda the modernization of the magic world—although some of this modernization still stays in the Renaissance or Victorian period, full of slow Baroque and steampunk styles, the functions of those magical devices are not inferior to modern ones. technology products.

Among the items he displayed was a device that could replace telepathic communication.

Just like a phone number is needed to make a call, a real name is a person's phone number, open Bluetooth and WIFI, and only people with a password or phone number can access it.Today's class was not serious, so Salomon took advantage of the recess to gossip with Pietro and Wanda, including astronomy, which Wanda had never been exposed to.

"We magicians can't keep looking down at the ground. Astrology is also an important subject in magic." Salomon said, "The greatest use of astrology is to predict. But the stars and the universe are more than that to magicians. In In the course of the development of occultism, especially in the pre-Enlightenment period, occultists and philosophers have had three views of the universe-the first view is that the universe is seen as a magnificent harmonious organism in which all parts are related to each other. But there is something special about this view. The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus believed that the whole universe is in a state of sympathy, like a living thing. Things that are far away are actually very close... Similar things are not close to each other, but Separated by things that are different, but also affected by the same because of their similarity; the theory behind this claim is an intrinsic similarity, whereby even the remotest parts of the universe can be connected to each other by a mysterious sympathy."

Salomon pointed to Pietro and Wanda, indicating that the example he gave was right in front of him.

"The second point of view is hidden causality. The third point of view is more common, that is, instrumental causality, or a 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 assumptions have always existed—it must be possible to explain everything as being caused by matter according to strict natural laws, and 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 nothing to do with magic, but in fact the third point of view has a lot to do with magic. We want to Learn magic with positivist ideas, traditional occult models only apply to ancient theology. Why do you say that? You haven't learned that part yet, don't rush to take notes, it's just small talk - we can't learn spirituality Like a psychiatrist, he blindly believes in occultism and agnosticism. A magician should be a representative of reason and a spokesman for wisdom, not a charlatan who picks letters from old papers to form words, or an addiction to gibberish after taking hallucinogenic drugs Gentleman."

"We should regard ether as an objectively existing energy rather than a hidden mystical concept."
