Learn Ninja Techniques? In Your Dreams

"Coulson, I heard you have another commission you've asked me for?"

"I remember we met at a press conference a while ago, but you didn't contact me then."

Seeing Charlotte Doyle walk in, Coulson stood up from the sofa, walked up to Charlotte, and extended his hand:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Charlotte!"

Charlotte shook hands briefly with Coulson, then sat down on the sofa and said with a smile:

"Did you come to me today to ask for a task?"

Coulson sat down on the sofa beside her, looked at Charlotte for a moment, and then said, "Charlotte Doyle, what are your thoughts on what happened last night?"

Hearing Coulson mention what happened last night, Charlotte smiled and said, "I don't have any opinion, but is the mission you're requesting an intelligence request related to what happened last night?"

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Coulson knew that Charlotte must have some understanding of the matter, so he said, "I need to request intelligence on this matter."

Charlotte nodded in understanding, pressed the service bell on the table, and soon Iruka came in with three blank Mission Scroll.

Iruka placed the Mission Scroll on the table and then took his leave.

Charlotte picked up a blank Mission Scroll, unfolded it, and looked at Coulson, asking, "What kind of intelligence mission do you need?"

After a moment's thought, Coulson said, "We want to know exactly what happened at the Battery Park, and what that magic circle in the sky is."

"Who is the force or individual responsible for all of this?"

Hearing Coulson's words, Charlotte didn't immediately start writing the mission request. Instead, she said, "These are four questions. Because your questions involve the extraordinary and secretive, each intelligence request will cost 50 Energy Stone."

Upon hearing Charlotte's offer, Coulson paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Mr. Charlotte, the previous intelligence requests weren't priced like this. You can't keep raising the price."

Charlotte shook her index finger and said, "No, no, no, it's not a price increase, it's just that this intelligence request is worth the price. What you're asking about isn't simple."

Hearing Charlotte say this, Coulson had no choice. After all, it was a seller's market. Apart from obtaining information from Charlotte, they could only analyze it themselves or use other methods. However, S.H.I.E.L.D.. did not have a better solution.

Finally, Coulson said helplessly, "Then we'll go with your price, but you won't raise it next time, right?"

Charlotte reiterated, "It's not that I'm raising the price; the price is determined by the content of the mission."

Seeing that Coulson didn't say anything, Charlotte asked Iruka to bring over a few more blank Mission Scroll.

Seeing that Charlotte four separate task Commission Form, Coulson didn't offer any further comment. Although he didn't understand why Charlotte hadn't put them together, he could only accept the result and consider it Charlotte's usual practice.

After Coulson signed the mission Commission Form and paid 200 Energy Block, Charlotte began to explain it to him.

"Let's start with what happened at the Battery Park Battery Park last night. Two groups of Mage had a major battle there last night, and that's the specific reason for the damage."

"As for the magic circle that appeared in the air, it's a magic circle called Energy Aggregation Array."

"The fighting force is composed of Mage."

"One of them is an evil Mage, belonging to the Morganian Gang led by Morgana. It was Morgana who activated this magic circle, intending to destroy the world last night through it."

"On the other side are righteous Mage who, led by Prime Merlinian, defeated Morgana and other evil Mage, averting a world-destroying crisis."

After Charlotte finished explaining, Coulson paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "You mean Mage?"

Charlotte nodded and said seriously, "Not Magician who performs tricks, but Mage who wields magic."

"Of course, there are also Mage who pretend to be Magician and wander among humans, using the guise of magic to perform magic in a grand manner."

"I presume you've already been to the battleground at the Battery Park; that's the destruction caused by the Mage' battle."

At this moment, Coulson's brain was working at lightning speed. In addition to the extraordinary force of ninjas, another extraordinary group Mage had emerged in this world.

Since there are good and bad Mage, is there also an unjust side in the world of ninjas?

Charlotte's line about Mage pretending to be Magician walking among humans also opened up a new avenue for Coulson —could this be a way to find the Mage?

After a moment's hesitation, Coulson said, "Thank you for informing me, Mr. Charlotte."

"I just wonder if you could explain to me the so-called Prime Merlinian and Morgana, and whether this Prime Merlinian is the same person as the Merlin wizard in the King Arthur legend."

"Or perhaps the legend of King Arthur is based on real events."

Upon hearing Coulson raise the question again, Charlotte held up two fingers and slowly said, "200 Energy Block."

Coulson glanced at the box beside him; there were exactly 200 Energy Block left. He said, "Okay!"

Charlotte then wrote two more mission Commission Form, had Coulson sign them, and began to speak.

Charlotte combined what she had seen about magical history with the stories her teacher Balthazar had told her, and then began to recount them.

"Morgana Le Fay is an extremely evil and brutal Mage, an ancient Mage who has established her own faction— the Morganian Gang."

"But in ancient times, Morgana, the founder of the Morganian Gang, was sealed away by Merlin's apprentice. Even the members of the Morganian Gang she led were either sealed away or killed by Merlin's apprentice after losing Morgana."

"Time has passed in the blink of an eye, spanning more than a dozen centuries, and we have arrived at the present time. Some time ago Morgana broke free from her seal and prepared to destroy this world directly with a magic circle, but she was killed on the spot by the Prime Merlinian who arrived in time."

"As for Prime Merlinian, he is the ruler of all Mage and is responsible for protecting humanity from the shadows, eliminating evil Mage, and purging harmful alien bloodlines."

"Mage do not reveal themselves to ordinary people. As for whether the Archmage Merlin in the King Arthur legend is the same person as the Prime Merlinian, I do not know."

Charlotte paused after briefly recounting the background stories of both characters.

Coulson was completely stunned. An ancient mage from over a dozen centuries ago had been sealed in the modern era. Didn't that mean the mage possessed Eternity life?

The fact that the United States has only a few centuries of history, while a Mage can live for more than a dozen centuries, is a shock to his worldview.

What he found even more unbelievable was that such an existence had left no Silk on S.H.I.E.L.D.., stationed in the United States, and there was also Prime Merlinian Protector of humanity...

What in this world is there that S.H.I.E.L.D.. doesn't know? Just how much do they actually know?

Hearing the random thoughts in his mind, Coulson exclaimed, "I never imagined that the world wasn't as simple as it seems on the surface."

Charlotte smiled but didn't say anything.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Charlotte, for telling us this."

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. is interested in deeper cooperation with Hidden Leaf Village. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

"We are willing to pay a certain price for this. Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Upon hearing Coulson mention the deeper cooperation again, Charlotte didn't immediately refuse as she had last time. Instead, she asked curiously, "What kind of deeper cooperation?"

"Study abroad exchange."

"Hidden Leaf Village can send several Ninja Academy to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy for further study, while the Ninja Academy can accept several S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. students as exchange students."

Charlotte Genin laugh as she listened to Coulson's story.

"Coulson, you call this cooperation?"

"What can ninjas learn from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy?"

"Are you teaching them stealth or assassination, or are you planning to teach ninjas how to use firearms...?"

Hearing Charlotte's sarcasm, Coulson remained unfazed and slowly said, "This is just a form of cooperation; you can name your price for it."

Charlotte picked up an Energy Block from the table and said seriously, "You can't afford the conditions we've proposed."

Coulson looked at the Energy Block in Charlotte's hand, assuming it was this item, and then confidently said, "Name a quantity, and maybe we can agree."

Seeing Coulson's confidence, Charlotte smiled and said, "The entity that created this Energy Block is the Tesseract."

"If you are willing to offer him as payment, your proposal might be accepted."

"Of course, it's only a possibility."

Charlotte didn't care about Coulson's suggestion at all, and the Tesseract was just a test to see if Nick Fury, that black guy, had the courage to make the sacrifice.

Of course, even if Nick Fury agreed to exchange the Tesseract for it, Charlotte wouldn't agree.

There was no Konoha or Ninja Academy S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. came, there would be no place for them to stay.

As for building one from scratch, Charlotte said he couldn't and wouldn't do it.

Teaching these agents to refine Chakra and Ninjutsu is utterly delusional. As for the Tesseract, there will be plenty of opportunities to obtain it during the Battle of New York; he's not in a hurry.

Upon hearing Charlotte's conditions, Coulson opened his mouth but ultimately said, "I cannot make this decision myself; I need to go back and consult with my superiors."

Coulson knew that the matter was probably hopeless; the other party's appetite was too big, actually wanting the Tesseract directly.

This thing is highly classified. If Coulson hadn't been in charge of trading the Energy Block with Charlotte, he wouldn't have known about the existence of the Tesseract.

As for why the other party knew about the Tesseract, Coulson didn't care. Since Hidden Leaf Village knew so many secrets, it shouldn't be surprising that they knew about this item that appeared since the Red Skull era.

"Then go back and consult your supervisor. Once it's confirmed, you can contact me at the Agency again."

At this moment, Coulson stood up, extended his hand, and said, "Thank you for the information today, Mr. Charlotte. I'll need your help again if I need any more missions in the future."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could reach a cooperation agreement with you."

Charlotte shook hands briefly, smiled, and said nothing more.

Coulson walked out of the Reception Room, led four agents, and left the Agency. Once inside and in his car, he said directly, "Back to S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Charlotte sat on the sofa in the conference room, looking at the eight boxes containing a total of 400 Energy Block piled up in front of her and the five Mission Scroll on the table. Without hesitation, she picked up a scroll and submitted it.

With the rating of the Task Gathering Hall, all five missions were rated as B-Rank Mission, and Charlotte also received the mission rewards.

Ding! Completed B-Rank Mission, earning 2000 Prestige, 200,000 copper coins, and one Normal Treasure Chest!

Looking at the mission rewards and the 400 Energy Block on the table, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction. The gains from killing Morgana this time were quite substantial.

Furthermore, they can continue to use the history of the Magic World to swindle more Energy Block; it's not really swindling, it's just a matter of mutual benefit.

Charlotte waved her hand, putting all the Energy Block into her Storage Space. She didn't recharge them directly, but after a simple calculation, she found that neither combining them nor using them with Blood Core could generate the double recharge of 3280.

However, this did not affect Charlotte's mood. After leaving the Reception Room Charlotte called Ginny.

"Ginny, inform the High Table that High Table will be held in Queen of Asgard."

On the other side.

After returning to Triskelion, Coulson went straight to Nick Fury's office and reported the intelligence he had obtained and Charlotte's request to the Director.

Nick Fury listened to his subordinate's report, then took out two photos and began to speak.

"This is a body we found in Battery Park. Visually, it appears to have been caused by fire; all the tissues inside the body have been burned to ash."

"When our agents touched the body, it turned to ashes instantly, and they only collected some ash, which had no research value whatsoever."
