The night shrouded Liberty Island like a veil. After half a day of negotiations, the two sides had not finalized even a preliminary intention to reach a consensus.
Neither the people on either side showed any eagerness.
The White House wanted to hold a peace summit—the president and the cabinet carefully considered Luke's proposal and chose to agree and support it.
Atlantis is like a giant whale lying on the beach, temporarily incapacitated.
But just relying on one person's strength and appetite cannot eat it up.
At this time, it is necessary to call on a group of "temporary allies".
As for Atlantis, they have no other ideas.
I just want to drag it, force it!
Bad things are bound to happen, but it's better to be late than to be early!
The night is getting darker, and the hour hand on the wall points to ten o'clock.
Luke, who had just finished an after-dinner exercise at the Basteco Building in Manhattan Island, flew directly back to his hotel room on Liberty Island.
The suite he stayed in had a great view. It was right in front of the Immigration Museum. When he opened the curtains, he could see the standing Statue of Liberty.
"Establishing diplomacy, technology exchange, resource trade... This is basically the bottom line of the White House's negotiations, and it is also a necessary condition to draw those countries to the alliance front."
Luke looked at the huge statue under the night sky, the torch he held glowing like a beacon.
It was a gift from the French to the United States on the 100th anniversary of its independence, and later became a New York landmark.
In the years when the wave of immigration was prevalent, every time a passenger ship sailed into a port on the Hudson River, someone would always see the Statue of Liberty and shout "America!"
Then the whole ship erupted in cheers and roar.
At that time, people chased the so-called dream of freedom and set foot on the North American continent.
But for most of them, the so-called "American Dream" is just a lie.
The United States during the Great Depression was full of broken dreams.
You even have to wait in line to jump from the rooftop. If you choose a landmark building or a securities company on Wall Street, you may have to wait an hour or two for your turn.
"I hope Namor will be more stupid than I thought and prepare to use planetary weapons to carry out a devastating strike-this decision is enough to bring Atlantis into the abyss."
As soon as he unbuttoned the first two buttons of his white shirt, Luke stopped what he was doing.
Although he has not yet started learning magic, he can keenly sense the fluctuations of space with the basic attributes given by the template.
Sure enough, magic sparks jumped and flashed, opening a circular passage.
"Master Gu Yi, can you knock on the door and come in next time? If I am doing some exercise and I am suddenly caught by someone, it will probably leave a psychological shadow."
Luke stared at the shiny bald head and gently reminded the other party that they should pay attention to basic courtesy.
"Well… "
Gu Yi frowned slightly. Ever since she became a mage, she hadn't walked through the main entrance for who knows how many years.
"Sorry, do it again."
The Supreme Mage thought carefully for a while and thought that what Luke said made sense. He turned and walked into the circular passage where magic sparks were beating.
A few minutes later, a knock on the door came.
Luke's mouth curled up, not knowing what to say.
This Supreme Mage is really upright.
Opening the door, there was Gu Yi who had changed into a suit and had a shiny forehead.
"I have consulted several mages and they all said this is more formal."
Gu Yi loosened his tight tie and said with a smile: "In addition, I will make sure in advance every time I come over to ensure that you are free."
So, you often use "Window to the World" to peek into my private life
Luke suppressed his inner desire to complain, and then went to Karma Taj. He must work hard to learn magic and block the invisible sight of the Supreme Mage.
Otherwise, when engaging in multi-person sports, the thought of someone watching might make you instantly weak.
He doesn’t have the bad habit of exposing his body quirks!
"Major General Cavell, you don't need to worry about this."
The Ancient One seemed to have guessed what Luke was thinking, and explained: "The Supreme Mage has no bad habit of peeping, and we will all take the initiative to cast a special spell on the 'Window of the World'."
"Even if I accidentally peek into your private life, the picture will immediately become blurry. This is the call of the Trinity Weishan Emperor in response to an unspeakable existence in the multiple dimensions."
What
Can you still code
Luke was shocked.
He can only say one thing, he is worthy of being the Supreme Mage!
After ending this boring topic, Luke sat on the soft sofa and chuckled: "If I remember correctly, we just met in the morning, right? Is there anything we can't call?"
He took out a bottle of red wine from the ice bucket and poured himself a glass.
Then he looked up at Gu Yi, who shook his head, indicating that he had no habit of drinking.
"Even the mages in the sanctuary must learn to keep pace with the times. Face-to-face communication will be abandoned by the times sooner or later. I personally recommend Kama Taj and the three major sanctuaries. You can purchase a batch of Skynet's latest product portable Telephone."
"Although the poor signal may be a thorny problem that is difficult to solve in a short time, it should not have any impact on the mages in the New York Sanctuary. Believe me, it is definitely a must-have item for home travel!"
Gu Yi glanced at the big, thick and thick mobile phone on the table, but his heart did not waver.
She expressed little interest in Luke's unconvincing sales pitch.
Generally speaking, mages prefer to keep pets such as crows, white doves, or wolf spirits as a way to spread messages.
What's more, if you hold a hanging ring, even if you run from the other side of the world to New York, it will only take a moment to cast a spell.
Quite convenient!
I don’t know how much I’ll save on air tickets and bus fares over the course of a year.
"Mr. Major General, in the opinion of the Master, the confidentiality of electronic products is not high enough, and the risk of leakage is very high."
Ancient One explained this.
Personally, she is very interested in novel gadgets, such as radios and televisions.
I also often use "Window of the World" to watch free movies and operas - the kind that are officially released.
The development of science and technology can change people's lives far more than magic.
“Is there anything worthy of Master Gu Yi’s personal visit—”
Luke, who failed in his sales pitch, took a sip of red wine and whispered, "Is there something wrong with Namor?"
Ancient Yi, wearing a suit, sat opposite Mr. Major General.
The Supreme Mage's own appearance tends to be androgynous. After putting on modern men's clothing, it is even more difficult to distinguish the gender.
"Probably due to spiritual guidance, Namor was persuaded by Sebastian Shaw."
Gu Yi said calmly.
Ever since the brainless and unhappy pair had the idea of activating the continental shelf seismic device, they were listed as dangerous elements on her key monitoring list.
The two guys hid in the fortress and held secret talks, thinking they could hide it from everyone.
Without knowing it, he took out the planet-level weapon.
But he didn't expect that the Supreme Mage had already written them down in his notebook.
"As expected of Namor!"
Luke clapped his hands and praised, this guy's crotch-stretching level has never disappointed anyone.
"Then what should we do next? Should SHIELD intervene to stop the two madmen's plan to destroy the world, or should we leave it to the three major sanctuaries for you to handle?"
Ancient Yi shook his head and rejected the latter.
Kama Taj and the three major sanctuaries are not willing to expose their existence unless necessary.
"Major General Cavill, there is no need to pay attention to grace and humility at this time. SHIELD can't wait to appear, and you just use the momentum to kick Namor off the throne of the king."
Gu Yi had already seen through the other party's thoughts and teased: "Everything is in your plan! Could it be said that Mr. Major General is really willing to give up the credit to the three major sanctuaries?"
"Ahem! I... just asked out of habit. This is basic courtesy."
Luke cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Master Gu Yi, you must know their specific location. Please tell me directly." (End of Chapter)
