The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Chapter 208 6. Do you have another great mentor behind my back? -Happy New Year's Eve【1315】

   "唰"

  After a day and a night, the Black Pearl has already seen the outline of the mainland under the gloomy sky in the distance.

  The kiteman skimmed low in the sea breeze at dawn, and the small and reliable falcon backpack behind him retracted the mechanical flying wings in a chic gesture, allowing him to land precisely beside Mason who was in a good mood.

   "Boss, Barbossa and several pirate kings are at the port to welcome you back."

  Charles happily reported to Mason:

   "They made a big show, all of them dressed in gold and silver like fancy-dressed chiefs, but there was a strange woman among them.

  Barbossa said it was his 'royal' witch, but I suspect that might be who we're looking for.

  The human body of Colypso, the goddess of the sea. "

"Um."

  Mason nodded, narrowed his eyes and looked at the pier where the outline of the city could already be seen ahead, he thought for a while, then turned his head and whispered to the kite man:

   "Go back to Gotham, Charles, and take my letter to Selena and Lady Elizabeth, I need them to go to Osborne Tower to do something for me.

   You don’t have to come here after that, go to Hogwarts Forbidden Forest to accompany Poison Ivy.

  If things go wrong

  I mean, if the Hogwarts world is also affected by the shock, then bring her and the resources we harvested there back to Gotham.

  This is very important, I must have someone I trust to do it, you understand. "

   "Okay, boss, I will do it well!"

  The kite man patted his chest vigorously, but then asked in a low voice:

   "It's just that you guys can stay here, can't you? Without my help."

   "What if you stay as a scout?"

  Mason looked at Charles strangely, and said:

   "What? Are you going to change careers and charge with Ertong? Seriously, if you really plan to show your bravery in front of a **** and a group of cleanups, then I don't mind giving you a chance."

"hehe"

  The kiteman smiled awkwardly.

  Although he has experienced many battles, he knows that his combat effectiveness is completely at the bottom of the K team.

  Especially after Barbara Gordon, a hacker girl, joined the team to take over the responsibility of drone and fire suppression, Charles felt increasingly marginalized.

   It's somewhat sad, but lack of ability is always a big problem that can't be solved.

  Although he himself doesn't hate this kind of safe life that is slowly turning into logistics, he still has to show his presence in front of the boss occasionally. After all, he is the number one dog leg under Mason Cooper's command.

  After driving away the kiteman, Mason returned to the cabin and rolled up his sleeves to continue practicing his beloved alchemy. He has been feeling that he is about to "breakthrough" recently, and there is no room for wasting any more time.

   "Jack, remember what I told you last night, you go to talk to Barbosa and the others on behalf of the K team."

  Mason took out Hufflepuff's gold cup and put it in front of him. While adding ingredients to it, he said to Captain Jack who was leaning against the door and drinking a big drink:

   "I am now appointing you as my plenipotentiary representative, no matter what requests they make, I will agree to them, try to find out the situation as much as possible, and also, I want to watch the Seagod Trident up close.

   See if you can arrange it for me. "

"OK."

  Jack drank the flagon in his hand in one gulp, wiped his mouth again, and said:

   "I doubt that Colypso might win me over. You see, even undead people like my father have sensed that something is wrong. She, a genuine sea god, must have foreseen the danger.

   Maybe she will strike first.

   Mason, we have to be careful. "

   "Caution? Why?"

  Mason glanced at the hourglass on the table. There was not much gravel left on it. After the voyage was completed, there were only three days left before the impact.

  He shook his head and said:

   "There is no need to worry too much, Jack, if she is really as wise as this sea, she should know that her troubles are elsewhere.

   We could even be her collaborators. "

   "Are you kidding me?"

  Jack froze for a moment, then asked:

   "We are here to kill her!"

   "No, our task is to ensure that her divinity does not fall into the hands of the Cleaners, Jack. Killing her is only a means to complete the task, not the only means."

  Mason stopped cutting the herbs, raised his head and explained to Captain Jack seriously:

   "Remember those years when Colypso was sealed as a swamp witch? Even without divinity, she can still live as a mortal.

   But if she falls into the hands of the Cleaners.

  Although I don't know how those mad dogs will treat her, I can be sure that compared to their methods, we people are as gentle as virgin men who have never seen a woman.

  So, be bold and don't be afraid.

  We have all decided to save your world, and it’s almost like saving a **** from suffering. Therefore, the initiative has always been in our hands. "

   "Well, I understand when you say that."

  The big pirate nodded thoughtfully.

  Ten minutes later, the Black Pearl slowly entered the port. Captain Jack and his very "fashionable" crew members were bragging and greeting the old friends who greeted them on the pier.

  Not seeing the members of the K team made Barbosa a little disappointed and at the same time a little thankful.

  Especially now that the deal of the magic medicine has been completed, before the next delivery of the magic medicine, to be honest, he doesn't want to have too much interaction with these mysterious guys.

  But Mason and the others did not show up, which disappointed the black-haired witch in the crowd.

   Captain Jack was observing her. Although he changed into a white-skinned red-haired girl, those eyes were definitely those of Colypso, who had some "intersection" with Jack back then.

  As unfathomable as the sea, as cold and infinite as the storm, as unpredictable as the tide.

"Yo."

  At the subsequent banquet welcoming the guests, Captain Jack and his "old buddies" drank a round of wine and took the time to approach the witch, whispering:

   "My captain is a very suspicious guy. Maybe you have to talk to me before meeting him, ma'am."

   "No, Jack."

  The witch said without interest:

   "The mouse who escaped from this world before the danger is still a bit self-aware, I only talk to people who can really make things happen. You are now the dog's leg and not the captain, and the steering wheel is not in your hands.

   If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be whipped like those sailors who pouted their **** and wiped the deck. "

   "Huhuhu, what a good temper."

   Captain Jack sneered.

  He lowered his head and picked up a Sika cigarette, saying:

   "I hope you can be as tough when you are approached by those mad dogs from outside, Colypso, you don't know what you will face, but I know, I have seen it with my own eyes.

  I walked through it myself in another doomsday, and fought my way back home from hell.

   So, now for a talk? "

   Facing Jack's invitation, the witch hesitated for a moment and raised her head to glance at the dark night sky without stars and moonlight. She could hardly hide the fear in her eyes.

   While the pirate captain was waiting and watching, the incarnation of the sea **** who had set off waves and buried countless fleets and travelers finally nodded.

  She said softly:

   "Let's talk about it, before those 'mad dogs' you call come."

  —

  The Black Pearl is still parked at the pier, the ship has been blocked, and several black reloaded drones are flying back and forth around the ship to prevent anyone from approaching.

This once legendary battleship has become the residence of Team K. Mr. Gibbs, the first mate, carries two AK47s that have been modified and strengthened on his back and patrols with people to prevent the short-sighted guys from disturbing the captain's manufacturing business. .

   "Done!"

  In the cabin, Mason finished outlining the last line of golden inscriptions, dropped some gold sticks and took a few steps back to appreciate the second set of Isu Vanguard Armor that he had just made.

  The black armor gleamed in the dark, and the pale halos on its arms, chest and leg armor, and boots looked cool.

   "Very coquettish."

Zha Kang next to    gave an accurate evaluation.

  He will be wearing the barely stitched magic floating cloak, and a bright red cloak covers his figure, making him look very Gandalf-like.

  He pursed his lips and said to Mason:

   "I don't want this thing. It's too shiny and doesn't fit my low-key and luxurious style of life. Don't make it for me."

   "You really want it."

   Mason snorted and said:

   "I made this for myself. Didn't you see the data interface reserved on the armor to link with the power armor? But since you don't need it, you can get the equipment yourself later, John."

   "Don't!"

  Zha Kang immediately jumped up and begged with a playful smile:

   "Where can I find powerful things for a poor third-rate spellcaster, and I expect you to quickly become a master craftsman and help me repair the Elder Wand.

   Those gravity rings and earrings you made are also good, hurry up and practice, I've depended on you as a craftsman for the rest of my life. Eh?

  Someone is coming! "

  Before he finished his flattering words, he turned his head and looked towards the end of the cabin. Being manipulated by enhanced magic power, he clearly felt the disturbance of time and space. He was about to cast a spell to seal it, but was held down by Mason.

  The young man said:

   "It's okay, it's a friend coming, you should avoid it first, no matter who is coming, I think you'd better participate in the next conversation. This is for you, go to the shore and find some people to try the medicine."

  Mason handed several bottles of blood-colored liquid to Zha Kang, and urged:

   "This is the 'beast-like' drug I prepared last night using the biotechnology of the Isu people. They are samples of Minotaur Minotaur and Snakeman respectively. Don't drink it indiscriminately, the effect is not stable yet."

   "Who would drink something of unknown origin? Do you really think I'm you? Just like you, you dare to throw anything into your blood."

Zha Kang pursed his lips and rolled his eyes again, picked up his cigarette and waved his cloak coquettishly, let the magic floating cloak with ugly stitching marks dragged him to take off from where he was, and wobbled to the side of the cabin. outside.

   This thoughtful guy didn't forget to close the hatch.

   And just a few seconds after he left, the unrestrained space-time disturbance quickly turned into a silver streamer, and then the hunter walked out of it.

   "Hello, Mr. Hunter."

  Mason stopped pretending, got up and welcomed in an exaggerated gesture:

"Welcome Her Royal Highness Princess of Nilfgaard, Cub of Cintra, Javier of Kaer Morhen, Daughter of the White Wolf, Her Royal Highness Siria Fiona Alan Lianlun Black Pearl.

  Your presence has made this wrecked ship look radiant. "

  Mr. Hunter just wanted to speak, but was overwhelmed by the long list of titles that were so exaggerated that Long Ma would call her an expert after reading it. Then she stomped her feet in frustration and helplessness.

   It's over.

  The identity is missing.

   "How did you know my real identity?"

  She didn't waste any time, stretched out her hand to hold the sword and felt cold, and asked directly:

   "Who told you? Was it Old K?"

   "Actually, Lord Geralt entrusted it to me in a dream, the night I entered the Fort of Stars."

  Washing the golden cup again and preparing for the next round of production, Mason said nonsense without looking up:

   "The old witcher who won the Holy Sword of the Lady of the Lake with the five virtues specifically told me that if his daughter turns into that disgusting **** hound, let me scold you for him.

   It’s better to wake you up by scolding you.

   Look, so much disaster is happening before our eyes.

  We have to get involved if we can. If we sit idly by, so much blood buried under the doomsday will dirty our hearts. "

   "Don't be silly, Mason."

Shirley didn't care about Mason's nonsense. What she said in a dream was simply nonsense. She saw with her own eyes the scene where her adoptive parents were exiled to the Broken World and died along with the World Core. There could be anything left over.

   But she wasn't here to argue with Mason.

she says:

   "Member No. 7 of the Quint Club, Norman Osborn who just joined, reported to the high-level that you sent someone to Osborne Tower to contact him and make him ready to accept about one million refugees.

   This thing came round and round and came back to me, and they asked me to see what the **** you were up to.

  You don’t have a transfer door, and it’s impossible to send all the people here before the shock arrives. Either you are posturing, or you have received unknown help.

  Based on what I know about you, the latter is more likely. "

  She stared at Mason and said very unhappy:

   "Someone is helping you secretly? And it's not ours, you called the Justice League?"

"you guess."

  Mason grinned mysteriously, and Ciri was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword and kill the guy who was so angry with her that she was almost angry with her charade yesterday, but in the end she suppressed her anger.

explain:

   "My application was approved this time, they temporarily agreed to your action, and I brought the components of the Transfer Gate."

   "No need."

  Mason waved his hand and said:

   "Take it back to those who need it more. I've already done it here. I don't need the help of the Quint Society, and I can do it myself, so they should never try to control me like they control you."

"boom"

  A magic bag was smashed on the table. Ciri took off her mask to reveal her silver hair. She stared at Mason viciously, and said through gritted teeth:

   "Don't go too far, Mason! Don't keep saying that I'm like a marionette in chains, what you're saying now is embarrassing, you know?

   Especially after I helped you. "

   "I apologize, my boss, don't get angry, I was just joking."

  Mason got up immediately, brought a chair with a smile to ask Your Excellency the Hunter to sit down, and offered her a cup of hot tea, but Shirley looked at it suspiciously.

  Since she was stunned by Mason with the sleeping needle last time, she is now wary of anything Mason sends.

  Who knows what this crazy young man will do?

   This guy's guts are even bigger than the legendary whale shark.

   Mason saw that Ciri didn't waste it if he didn't drink. He leaned aside with a teacup and helped his boss analyze:

"They didn't use this portal to help me, Ciri, they realized that I don't need them anymore when they received Norman's report, but they need the Isu drawings in my mind, so send you quickly Send me the transfer door to try to redeem it.

  Be sober, Ciri.

   This is not possible because you begged them twice, it is because we still have value, and they cannot give up on me at the risk of alienation.

  The fact that you were able to bring the transfer portal so easily shows that they are more than capable of doing it.

   But they don't want to do it at all.

They don't care about what you and I think, and you still think you are important to them. Listen to me, my boss, if you really want to avenge your adoptive parents and your own world, if you really want to destroy the Stars Club, you have to fight with me Let's do it together!

  We are on our own.

   Those **** with ulterior motives will not be trusted.

   And now you should go, a great mentor suddenly coming here will attract a lot of attention, I only realized last night that someone is monitoring the K team. "

  Mason picked up the magic bag on the table, stuffed it into Ciri's hand, and said to her:

   "Don't think too much, you are still a trustworthy friend and a good superior of the K team, this matter will not affect the life-threatening friendship between us, but in the future, they will discuss with me before they ask you to do anything.

  You are in need of an 'external brain' like this, and I'm happy to recommend myself. "

  Hunter Ciri lowered her head and put on the mask. Although Mason's words were brief, they were spoken from the bottom of his heart, and some of the details he pointed out really made Ciri feel a little creepy.

  She wasn't unaware of these details, she just didn't think about it before.

   Then she hesitated, and whispered:

   "They decided to promote you to B-level personnel. I only thought it was because you brought back the golden apple reward"

   "They're buying me off, or trying to warn the restless little guy."

   Mason blinked and said:

   "If I remember correctly, it is a very difficult task to be promoted to B-level, and it is impossible to pass it safely with my current ability, right?

  Be quiet, pretend you don't know anything, and continue to play your role as a marionette.

   Let me take care of these troublesome things.

   But after this is over, we need to talk. "

  Mason said to Ciri:

   "You and me, just the two of us! You have to tell me everything you know, only in this way can I see the whole situation, of course, you can also report on me.

  The choice is yours.

  They just want to use you but I'm different, my dear boss, just like the big bad guys in Gotham know who to turn to when they're in trouble.

  You see, I am unwilling to give up even such a broken world, which fully proves that my character is strong.

  So when you need it most, I will do my best to help you just like helping the world, so why not think about it when you go back to the bath.

   Who is your friend and who is your enemy? "

  Watching the silent hunter Ciri disappear into the cabin, Mason turned his head to see that the second pot of medicine in the golden cup was already boiling. He walked to the window of the cabin and looked at the brightly lit pirate city in front of him, making two nasal noises of satisfaction.

He said:

   "If you all survive, remember to thank Lord Mason for your kindness, idiots."
