Chapter 371 Incompetent Director
Nick Fury not only has this thing, but is also much thicker than the average person. He directly ignored Tony's dissatisfaction, and instead asked if he was practicing magic just now?
Tony ignored him, and Nick turned his head to face Ethan: "Can ordinary people learn your magic too?"
"Why can't ordinary people learn it? Isn't the mage an ordinary person before he learned magic?" Ethan spread his hands: "Including me, I was also an ordinary person at the beginning."
It's not that Nick didn't think about this, he was concerned about another aspect: "I mean...is there any special requirements?"
"Of course there is." Ethan nodded: "Mage's requirements for talent are much higher than most professions. In other words, it is not a genius who does not even have the qualifications for entry."
Nick nodded. Tony is undoubtedly a genius. It is not normal for him to learn magic. In this case, if you want to train mages, you need to recruit more young talents.
The first thing he thought of was the group of young people from SHIELD Academy, all of them are geniuses among geniuses, maybe they have this qualification?
In his heart, he thought about cultivating a SHIELD team of mages, but he knew that the idea could not be rushed, and his relationship with Ethan was not deep, and because of the deterioration of the Security Council, he had to think about it. What price should I pay to get Ethan to help teach a few mages?
By the way, he looked at Tony again. If Ethan's side doesn't work, maybe he can get through some relationship from Tony?
Nick suddenly felt more headaches. Tony's side is not easy to deal with. The relationship between Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. is also not very good. Now it is through Howard's relationship to maintain basic cooperation. .
He still doesn't know that Howard Stark has been resurrected with the help of Ethan. Since Howard was assassinated, the friendship that Nick thought was long gone.
So Tony didn't like seeing Nick, it wasn't just that he suddenly interrupted his practice.
If it weren't for the strength of SHIELD, Tony wouldn't have seen him at all, and Pepper Pepper wouldn't have given him a good face - at most, talk to Phil Coulson.
After a few casual conversations, Nick Fury said he wanted to talk to Ethan alone.
In fact, he didn't have to say this, Tony had already stepped aside. Phil Coulson was very good at communicating with people, and he had already 'attracted' Pepper away in advance. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of Ada's attention. Force was also attracted away, but Ada ignored him at all.
Nick kept waiting for the people around him to walk away, but I didn't expect Ada to stand still next to Ethan, then look at him with a sweet smile, as if mocking his tricks.
"Can we talk alone?"
"Okay." Ethan spread his hands and made a gesture of "please say": "Is this consultation also in the form of a consultant?"
Nick's face was dark, so it was impossible to tell if he was getting darker.
At this time, Natasha, who had been standing beside her and said nothing, spoke up, and suddenly talked about what brand of lip gloss Ada used.
"Don't try to lure Ada away, she won't threaten you even if she knows anything."
Nick looked at Ethan, and finally thought of Ethan's identity from other universes, and finally no longer entangled in the fact that only two people could talk alone.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about your ship."
"Ship?" Ethan kept thinking about why Nick came here all of a sudden, but he didn't expect it to be this reason: "What happened to that ship?"
"I want to know what you want to do to build such a warship?"
Nick just stared at Ethan, as if he wanted to see through everything, but this performance seemed so ridiculous in Ethan's eyes.
He understood why Nick came here. Because they built a warship and they were an 'outsider', they doubted what intentions they had in their world.
If there are any differences in the details, it should be roughly the same.
"Shipbuilding is of course for use. I often live in a world full of water now, and land only occupies a very small part, so I ordered a big boat to live more comfortably. What's the problem? ?"
"No problem." Nick nodded, Ethan's reason sounded impeccable, but the nature of being an agent made him not immediately believe any words, even if it was the truth: "Why a battleship?"
"Good question!"
This question is purely regarded as an idiot. Of course it is obvious why it is a battleship, but Nick asked it deliberately, which proves that he has preset a position in his heart and regards Ethan as a potential enemy.
Of course Ethan can see this. Although he understands Nick Fury's thoughts, he is still very disgusted with this guy's behavior-although as the chief agent, it is good to do things with a skeptical attitude, but It's disgusting to be so hostile all the time.
"Of course it's to guard against people like you!"
The sarcasm on Ethan's face was undisguised. Nick wasn't an idiot, he was smart and very good at judging each other's thoughts from subtleties.
So he understood what Ethan meant, but he still didn't change his mind: "The duty of S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"The responsibilities of S.H.I.E.L.D.? What exactly is the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D., tell me? How do I feel that you have to be involved in everything."
Nick Fury was about to say something, but Ethan directly raised his hand to stop his words, and then with a flick of his finger, several people were immediately surrounded by a layer of translucent glass.
"This is the mirror space, where it is absolutely safe to talk, and in the eyes of others, we are still continuing the previous topic of SHIELD's responsibilities."
Nick looked around and thought that Ethan and himself were about to quarrel before, was it a deliberate gesture? Is he going to tell himself a secret?
Ethan squinted at Nick Fury. His expression put a lot of pressure on Nick. If Ethan wanted to do anything to him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
"You will come here suddenly, shouldn't it be a sudden idea? Is it the Security Council or the internal request of SHIELD to investigate me and the battleship I ordered?"
Nick has been an agent all his life, and he immediately understood what Ethan meant, but he was reluctant to answer the question: "This is our internal matter, and it doesn't seem to need to be reported to you."
"Because it involves me now, you'd better make it clear."
"Otherwise?"
"Otherwise, I will think that S.H.I.E.L.D. has great malice towards me, and is likely to keep giving me trouble... I am a person who is particularly troublesome. In order to avoid endless annoying things, I am used to trouble just When it emerges, destroy it at the source.”
Nick Fury felt threatened - Ethan was threatening him, and his face darkened.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. does not accept any threat, nor does it fear any challenge."
"Challenge?" Ethan shook his head: "Now you are challenging me."
"We're just trying to figure out your real purpose in building a mighty warship on our world."
"Real purpose? What do you want to hear? I want to conquer the earth? I will build a surface warship to conquer the earth? Whose IQ are you insulting? And the so-called figure out my purpose?" Ethan looked at Nick: " You don't believe it yourself, you know what those people want."
Obviously, someone inside S.H.I.E.L.D. is eyeing the technologies they provided to Tony, most likely the Hydra guys.
"So looting other people's property and technology is also the scope of S.H.I.E.L.D., right?" Ethan thought about it, it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. has really done such a thing. After they defeated Hydra, they looted a lot of things. Even Hydra scientists.
Nick wanted to nod his head and say 'yes', but could he say that? Saying that they are not just S.H.I.E.L.D. The main reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. has been able to run amok for so many years is that they can always stand on the commanding heights of morality and suppress all opposing voices in the name of justice.
"I promise you, as long as you don't really want to threaten Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't cause you any trouble."
Nick pinched the bridge of his nose, and after a circle in his heart, he realized that he really had nothing to do with Ethan. Personal force aside, the relationship between Ethan and Tony is there, and that battleship has always been designed and manufactured by Tony Stark. If it weren't for this relationship, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have already started.
Now to anger a mysterious mage, or even to turn against Tony Stark completely, the price is too high, and Nick doesn't want to pay for a ship with some special technology.
"Guarantee? An agency where 80% of the staff have been infiltrated by Hydra, from the former director down to the grassroots agents, what do you promise to me?"
The previous conversation still seemed to be a quarrel, and Nick still wondered if it was necessary to quarrel in a place like the mirror space? It was not until Ethan said this sentence that he realized why Ethan arranged the magic.
Nick felt that he was soaked in cold sweat in an instant. He wanted to think that Ethan was deliberately irritating or disgusting himself, but the mage's expression made him realize: the content revealed by that sentence is very likely it is true.
"What did you say?"
"As you heard, S.H.I.E.L.D. has long since become a branch of Hydra. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you can't even figure out what your agency is, it's really a failure. what!"
The idiots of Hydra provoke him, of course Ethan would not pretend that nothing happened.
Since the Hydra parasitic in S.H.I.E.L.D. is not easy to kill directly, then tear off the disguise of the Hydra first. Anyway, when he broke the news, Nick will definitely make a move when he goes back, no matter who wins or loses between Nick and Pierce, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vest will definitely not be able to keep it.
Without the vest of justice, Hydra is just a group of rats crossing the street, and everyone is happy to see them trampled.
Then Ethan can settle accounts with them.
