Chapter 498: Tacit Confidence
The dry and cold weather in London makes people wrap their coats tightly, both buildings and clothes reveal dark tones, and the whole city is like a dry lead-gray pigment block on a palette. Those who stay in New York all year round will definitely feel uncomfortable with everything here. There is no sunshine that can penetrate the scorched brains here, nor is there a large truck that can rush around, only a crimson double-decker bus strolling the streets with its head held high and chested.
The secret wizard sitting in the cafe looked bored at the sparsely crowded streets in front of him. After the winter, the fat gray pigeons who had never lost weight were pecking at the legs of passers-by. He was not affected by the cold spring air in London. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the dry and refreshing cold wind.
"The average daily temperature is only 4 degrees Celsius, and the air is quite dry, and the total precipitation is less than 48 mm." He raised his teacup and took a sip, with a very comfortable expression. This is a cafe he often comes to, so he stored a can of extremely expensive honey here. Whenever he comes to drink tea, the store manager will add honey to his tea. The man sitting opposite the small square table was fortunate to taste the sweet taste.
"You'd better drink some tea and pay attention to moisturizing. The environment here is not good for the skin." Salomon refused the milk brought by the waiter. The waiter looked new. Anyone who is familiar with him knew that Salomon would not add milk to drink tea. How should he add it to drink tea without adding milk? This incident has also caused controversy. The British have several different opinions on this aspect - the first is to add milk first and then pour tea, the second is to pour tea first and then add milk, the third is to not add milk, the fourth is to add a little milk first and then add some milk and finally fill it up. Salomon was the fourth at the beginning, until he was covered with milk tea, and he became the third.
"You're really busy, but I just got out of Capitol Hill, and those politicians can't wait to come and cause trouble." Agent Romanov wearing sunglasses had a very beautiful smile. "A lot of things have happened recently, and Fury suspected that you did those things."
"He dare not come to see me now?" said the Secret Mage. "Are he worried that there would be several guns pointing at him at three thousand feet?"
"No one knows where you hid those three sky carriers. Imagine a frog jumping on a red iron plate. Congress and the White House are now like that." Agent Romanov said, "There are so many things you have taken away, so many that it is unsettling. You have the power to destroy a small country now. What else do you want?"
“I always feel like Nick Fury is nearby.”
"He kept his promise and did not reveal your name." Agent Romanov said angrily, "But I solved the trouble you caused. Haven't you watched TV? Did you hear me explain to the parliamentarians how the three insight carriers disappeared in an instant? The overseas S.H.E.L.D. aircraft carrier base can be explained, but no one can explain this matter unless you stand up."
"Oh, my dear, is this your attitude towards your life-savior?"
"I know what the biometric brooch given by Alexander Pierce is, and I am prepared for it." Agent Romanov was originally planning to use an electric shock to cause the brooch to be shorted, but unexpectedly, Salomon took the thing off, breaking Alexander Pierce's last reliance.
When the military entered the Sanquyi headquarters, they found a headless corpse in the council office. It was confirmed that the corpse belonged to Alexander Pierce, former Secretary-General of the World Security Council. Trace inspectors found a fingerprint of an unrelated person at the scene, but there was no record of the fingerprint in the database. Agent Romanov who was questioning could not explain the origin of the fingerprint.
She couldn't even explain many things. Congress's investigation into S.H.E.L.D. was not very good at the beginning. Nick Fury buried everything. What Congress knew was what Nick Fury wanted them to know. The so-called investigation could not be carried out from the beginning. Especially when S.H.E.L.D. was nominally a United Nations organization, any country that joined the United Nations was qualified to conduct an investigation, and no country was willing to let the United States lead the investigation. Who knew what was deadly hidden in S.H.E.L.D.
Everything became a mystery, and the lawmakers wanted to know what happened in that office and strive to complete the investigation before other countries intervened. But the survivors were silent about this and did not want to reveal any useful information. But for the Secret Master who dominated everything, this was not that difficult to understand. He just signed a contract with everyone present. (U.S. Director, Congressman Holly, was replaced by the Black Widow, so the United States did not know what happened at that time.)
He gave secular society a warning that he would sit idly by and watch disasters happen, but when secular governments are unable to face the rise of dark forces, he will completely take over everything. Of course, the declaration was not taken seriously by people other than Nick Fury and Natasha. The holy sword and holy gun are meaningless to ordinary people, and Salomon did not want to untie the holy marks in front of ordinary people and reveal their essence. It doesn't matter what others think, but when he wrote the contract with the blood of Alexander Pierce, his attitude was quite clear. This was an exam for secular governments, testing the ability of secular governments to deal with unexpected disasters, just like the Greek gods only test the city-state.
He promised that the span of this exam was based on a hundred years.
He can live for a long time and watch generations of people born and die. He must be familiar with this feeling and endure this torture. This is the warning from the Venerable. More than a thousand years of life made the Venerable feel exhausted, but Salomon must persist for a longer time, with the human body and brain to endure this extremely terrible torture, and become the last watcher of human civilization. Whether it is tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years, he must persist, and never give up.

"Look at the long term, Natasha. Why not tell me how Steve Rogers is. It is said that he fought with his good friend?" Salomon said. He had accepted this fate, and now he is accompanied by a witch, which looks pretty good. But the daunting future is ahead, and hundreds of years have been a test for him and the secular government, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
Nick Fury didn't need help at all, and Salomon was also surprised that he didn't see the glowing woman. The situation was extremely serious at that time. Salomon had no doubt that Nick Fury was trying to kill him. Nick Fury would definitely do this when he had a chance.
Because Salomon's bottom line is lower than anyone else. Others also need to consider moral and legal factors, and Salomon only considers survival.
But the former director of SHIELD actually endured it, which made the secret mage look at him with admiration.
The war between SHIELD and Hydra went underground, but this matter was openly related to Natasha Romanov and had nothing to do with SHIELD. After being investigated, SHIELD agents all joined the Stark Group and were unable to do intelligence for life. However, they would continue to strangle Hydra. This time she came to see Salomon to get some information from him - Nick Fury really didn't know what the conservative Hydra was, but he knew that Salomon was now a Hydra snakehead that could cooperate. Hydra was dead in name only, and with the help of the remnants of SHIELD, it was a self-evident tacit understanding.
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't even live until I die." Agent Romanov picked up the teacup, "You have thousands of years of life, don't you?"
"Then why not join my plan and add some weight to my life?" Salomon put down his teacup and stood up. Agent Romanov followed the secret mage through the kitchen of the cafe and walked into the air-conditioned material room. The lights here were only half turned on, and the other side of the room was shrouded in darkness. It was not until the secret mage opened a door marking the mop room that the light pierced the black curtain of the room and illuminated the eyes of Agent Romanov.
This cafe is a secular industry of Kama Taj, used as a teahouse and fast track for London's secret wizards. If this is not the case, the store manager here would not be able to help Salomon store honey.
