Valkyrie of the Marvel Universe

Eastern Europe, Sokovia.

This is a very small country. Rather than calling it a country, it is better to say that it is a small political body formed by the union of a few small towns.

It is mountainous, barren and turbulent, bordered by Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Because it is too poor and has no natural resources to use, it has not attracted the covetousness of powerful countries.

I am poor and I am justified. As long as I am poor enough, the surrounding countries will avoid me. This is probably the reason.

When the fighter planes of the Avengers appeared over the country of Sokovia, let alone the fighter planes of the Air Force came to drive them away, there was not even a radio warning.

It doesn't matter what airspace or not, fly casually!
The fighter planes of the Avengers hovered in the sky for a long time, but finally failed to find the airport, so they had to find a relatively spacious and flat square near the outskirts of the city to land.Fortunately, this fighter plane takes off and lands vertically. If it is a jet plane, I'm afraid they can only parachute.

As the plane landed, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

In the square, there were already many local residents. When the plane landed, they had already hid far away, pointing and talking in a hurry.The children were beside the adults, hugging their parents' legs, and looking timidly towards this side.Some daring little ones even ran to the square, wanting to observe this magical big iron bird up close.

As the fighter plane door opened, the gangway slowly popped out, and the Avengers, led by Steve, filed out from the fighter plane.Given the possibility of combat, the Avengers are all heavily armed and wearing battle robes.

The children who approached were frightened, and ran back in a swarm, hiding behind the adults, taking shelter under the protection of their parents, which made a group of elders burst into laughter.They didn't seem to worry at all that the Avengers would use force against them. Anyway, they were a bunch of poor ghosts, and there was nothing worth grabbing.

"This is really a peaceful and serene country. It can be seen that the people are very friendly." Steve looked around, with a smile on his face.He smiled and waved to the children, then turned to look at Scott behind him, "Scott, do you have any clues?"

Scott held a tablet computer, frowned, and walked around, "The coordinates are here, but there are fluctuations of reality gems everywhere around here, and I can't precisely locate it."

"Well, it seems that we need to find out where the gems are. Then this is another huge project. I hope the locals can help us reduce the amount of the project."

When dealing with the locals, of course, Natasha, who is the most friendly, should come forward.

No man can refuse a red-haired stunner with an exquisite face, especially when she rolls her eyes, smiles on her lips, and pleads softly.

In just a few words, Natasha coaxed the group of middle-aged and old men into forgetting their last names, and scrambled to tell all the secrets they knew.

Soon, Natasha retired with the information she wanted, and what these dog lickers got was nothing more than a blown kiss and a good memory worth bragging about for a lifetime.

"This city is not big. No outsiders have appeared recently, and I haven't heard of any accidents. No one has picked up any gems, and no one has been moved away by a windfall. By the way, the only jewelry store in this city Also running a gem recycling business, maybe we can go there first. But the jewelry store is on the other side of the city and we need to go across the city.”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and hope everything goes well."

Everyone took some candies to dismiss the children who were around again, and then strode towards the center of the city.

The municipal construction here is very backward. Most of the buildings and streets are left over from the old era. The architectural style is simple, mostly old-fashioned reinforced concrete structures, the colors are old and gray, and there are not many modern elements.

The width of the street is relatively narrow, few trees are planted on both sides, and there are not many street trees, and the alleys and streets are also somewhat dirty.

Most of the buildings on both sides of the street are two or three-story buildings, some of which are in disrepair and the walls are peeling off. The windows are often closed and locked tightly, showing a sense of vicissitudes of time.

In the corners of the city, you can often see several well-preserved ancient buildings. These buildings are usually small castles made of bluestones. Walking through them has a sense of history and time intertwined.

The entire city's infrastructure is relatively weak, and public transportation is relatively backward, with only a few buses.

But when you get closer to the city center, everything gradually becomes different.

Most obviously, the number of high-rise buildings has increased, the streets have become wider, the city has become much cleaner and tidy, and there have been more private vehicles.

"Sure enough, even in the poorest country, there are rich people." Steve couldn't help feeling a few words.

"This is not good news for us." Clint said thoughtfully: "After the poor get the gems, they will definitely use the fastest speed to realize it to improve the living conditions of themselves and their families, but the rich If you get the gem, there is a high possibility that it will be collected.”

"In other words, the Reality Gem is probably in the hands of a rich man in this city?"

"The biggest possibility is that it is in the hands of the city's ruler. If we don't see the Reality Gem from the gem recycling merchant, I'm afraid we have to go to visit the mayor of this city. Of course, those councilors are also the same It cannot be ignored."

"What if they won't admit it?" Scott asked tentatively.

Steve said without hesitation: "Although I don't want to use illegal means, the reality gem has never belonged to them, and I have no psychological burden to take the gem from them."

"That would be great." Scott nodded with a smile, "Actually, I released some nano-monitors that Professor Hulk gave me just now, and went to monitor all the officials and rich merchants in this city. "

"What?" Steve was taken aback and exclaimed, "Are you engaging in group surveillance and wiretapping?"

"This is the fastest way!" Scott shrugged, "Do you have a better way?"

"Scott is right. When we were in S.H.I.E.L.D., we didn't know how many such surveillance and wiretapping activities were done. In fact, strictly speaking, the US government is the organization that is best at doing this. So, Steve, you don't have to pay too much attention to these things." Natasha was afraid that Steve would be determined and insisted on talking about personal privacy, so she hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"I..." Steve hesitated to speak, and finally waved his hands discouragedly, "Well, I'm not that kind of silly white sweet, I know that the government has many dark sides, but... Forget it, it's still What are you talking about? Let’s focus on the overall situation!"

After everyone reached a consensus, Scott became even more unscrupulous.With the level of technology of the Avengers, it is completely possible to form a generation gap with Sokovia's technology. It is completely crushed and cannot be discovered at all.Even if political and business figures in Sokovia know that they are being watched, they cannot see, find, or hide from them at all.

Youdao is afraid of what to do, the Avengers have nothing to gain from the jewelry recycler.

Although it has monopolized the jewelry recycling business in this city, in fact, this jewelry recycling business is a small businessman. He has never seen really expensive jewelry, and his appreciation ability is very problematic. It is impossible not to be impressed by the rare treasures of the perfect level.

And in front of senior agents like Natasha and Clint, no one can lie to deceive them.

"Well, it seems that we can only wait for the results from Scott. So what are we doing now? Waiting?"

When several people were discussing whether to find a place to taste the local delicacies, a black extended Lincoln stopped in front of them, and a well-dressed man exuding an elite atmosphere got out of the car and greeted Shi very politely. Tiff saluted slightly and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome President Rogers to Sokovia!"

"Mayor Hanas sent me to welcome you, and I would like to invite you and your friends to the mayor's mansion."

"Mayor Hanas has invited all the political and business people in the city to prepare a grand welcome party for President Rogers. Please show me your respect."

Steve was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had misunderstood the person and thought of himself as the Steve Rogers of this world.He didn't have the habit of impersonating others, so he explained immediately:

"I'm not some President Rogers, I'm..." Halfway through the sentence, he was speechless, and didn't know how to explain to the other party, so he had to say, "I'm Captain America Steve Rogers."

Fortunately, the other party also misunderstood what he said, and said with a smile:
"I see!"

"Although the United States is no longer there, Mr. Rogers is still a world-renowned superhero, magnetic field warrior, and Captain America."

"No matter what your capacity is in Sokovia, you are our most respected guest."

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. This is the force value of Steve Rogers, a warrior who is afraid of magnetic fields. I don't know what he wants to do with such a super master running on his own territory, so he entertained him politely.Whether you want to test out the intentions of the people, or you want to win over a powerful fighter to provide you with sufficient protection for your family's survival, or you just want to hug a big thick leg, there is no doubt that it is an expression of goodwill.

Steve has never liked this kind of high society social activities, he hesitated for a moment, and planned to refuse.However, Natasha came over and whispered in his ear: "We just need to find the Reality Gem. All political and business personnel will come to the party tonight. It is a good opportunity to investigate."

Steve was right when he thought about it, so he agreed.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Mayor Hanas for his kindness."

The visitor smiled and opened the back door of the car, respectfully invited Steve and his party to sit in the car, and then acted as the driver himself, leading them to the mayor's mansion.

When the vehicle slowly drove to the gate of the mayor's mansion, the mayor of Hanas had already been waiting there for a long time.

Although he has a rotten belly, wearing a dark suit with a checked tie, a neat haircut and a neatly trimmed beard make him look dignified and friendly.The setting sun that is about to set casts soft light on his carefully groomed face, which looks very friendly. It is obviously carefully designed by a professional stylist to deceive voters.

Behind Mayor Hanas, followed by several middle-aged and elderly men and women, all dressed in formal attire, waiting with serious faces, they should be other government officials in the mansion, or some leaders of the business community.

As soon as the car door opened, Mayor Hanas greeted him enthusiastically, stretched out his hands to Steve who had just got off the car from a distance, and greeted him with a smile:

"Welcome to our city, sir, and you'll soon find out that it's really nice here."

"Thank you for your warm invitation, Mr. Mayor." Steve replied very politely.

Although Steve hates this hypocritical upper-class social model, he is actually very good at dealing with these people, because he was specially trained to trick rich people into making donations.

After a few words of politeness between the two, Steve also introduced the companion behind him to Mayor Hanas, and at the same time got to know several celebrities behind him, all of whom were representatives from various fields.

After the two sides exchanged a few words of courtesy, Mayor Hanas took the initiative to open the door of the mansion for him and guide everyone into the spacious and bright living room.

According to social habits, after the evening party, it is time to talk about serious business. Now this kind of sitting and talking is often just showing goodwill to each other and talking nonsense.

But Steve was impatient to talk nonsense with a group of politicians, so after showing that he came here with no malicious attitude, he took the initiative to jump the topic to the purpose of this trip.

"Mayor Hanas, we are here to find a red gemstone. Its shape is perfect and unforgettable. We don't have a photo of the gemstone, but I can draw it for you. This gemstone is very important to us. It is very important, if you can help us retrieve the gems, we will be very grateful and willing to give a generous return. Whether it is financial or other aspects, you can mention it.”

After Steve finished speaking, a pen and paper was about to come, he drew the Reality Gem and handed it to them.

It has to be said that in order to become a cartoonist, Steve worked hard as a painter.His painting skills are very superb, and the realistic gemstones he painted have both form and spirit, and they are already seven or eight parts like.

Maybe it was because the conditions that Steve promised were too generous. Everyone, including Mayor Hanas, rushed over and stretched their necks, wanting to see the gems that "President Rogers" would come to look for. What is it like.

Sadly, however, everyone shook their heads in disappointment after seeing it, claiming to have never seen this beautiful gem.
