Probing (Two-in-One)

Time flies, and another four days have passed.

In the past four days, Charlotte has successfully completed the construction of Merlin Array and the spatial positioning beacon has also been built.

Now that everything is ready for Merlin Array, Charlotte can return to Earth directly by activating the magic circle. Just as Charlotte was about to leave, Thor arrived.

Since Charlotte sent Thor to seek answers from Odin four days ago, he hadn't bothered Charlotte again. Unexpectedly, this guy reappeared just as she was leaving.

Thor, Hammer in hand, flew down from the sky.

"Thor, is something the matter?"

Looking at Thor in front of her, Charlotte waved her hand and asked.

Looking at Charlotte standing inside the magic circle, Thor said, "I heard your magic circle is complete, and you're preparing to return to Earth."

"Yes, I'm preparing to leave."

Thor looked at Charlotte, who was about to return to Earth, his face filled with envy. Without hesitation Thor said, "I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to return to Earth. Charlotte, could you please take care of Jane for me and make sure she doesn't get hurt on Earth?"

Seeing Thor's pessimistic outlook, Charlotte paused, "Are you really entrusting your partner to me? Is that really a good idea?"

"For the sake of our friendship."

Seeing Thor's serious expression, Charlotte thought for a moment, remembering that Jane had traveled safely without incident, and decided not to refuse Thor's request. "Alright, for the sake of our friendship!"

Seeing that Charlotte had agreed, Thor smiled. With Prime Merlinian protecting him, Jane wouldn't be bullied on Earth.

Thor pulled a cloth bag from his lower back and tossed it to Charlotte.

"I heard this is useful for mages, so consider it a gift from me."

Charlotte caught the small cloth bag that Thor threw to her, and immediately heard a system notification in her mind.

Ding! Items requiring recharge have been detected. Do you wish to recharge?

Upon receiving the bag, Charlotte immediately realized what was inside: the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl.

Without opening the cloth bag, Charlotte put it directly into her Storage Space.

"Thanks, I won't be polite."

Seeing Charlotte accept the gift, Thor's smile widened. It seemed that Jane's situation wouldn't be a concern for the foreseeable future.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Charlotte waved goodbye to Thor, and the next second she activated Merlin Array. A flash of light and Charlotte disappeared from Asgard.

Odin, in Asgard, glanced at the spot where Charlotte had disappeared, and then paid no further attention.

······

New York Continental Hotel.

Charlotte's figure appeared in the conference room on the top floor. Charlotte, who had just been teleported back, almost collapsed to the ground because her Chakra had been completely drained the moment she was teleported. Of Charlotte 60 chakra, only enough for one Substitution Technique was left.

The meeting room was empty. Charlotte took out a bowl of Delicious Ramen, quickly recovered, and after her Chakra was somewhat restored, she pushed open the door and left the meeting room.

After leaving the conference room, Charlotte went straight to Winston's office.

Seeing Charlotte suddenly appear, Winston was somewhat surprised, but remembering Tony and the others who had returned earlier, he quickly realized what was going on.

"Chief, you're back."

"Hmm, has anything unusual happened recently?"

After a moment's thought, Winston said, "Chief, nothing else has happened recently."

"However, Elder Ginny said that after you return, you can go directly back to the Agency; it has already been repaired."

"Is it fixed?"

Charlotte was stunned. Counting the time she spent in the Magic World, she had only been gone for about ten days. The Agency, which had been bombed to ruins, had already been restored?

Could it be that I've been in Asgard for a year and never heard of the saying that one day in Asgard is equivalent to one month on Earth?

"Yes, Chief."

"We have confirmed that the Agency has indeed been restored."

How long have I been gone?

"Ten days."

"Okay, I understand!"

Having obtained the answers she wanted, Charlotte did not linger at the Continental Hotel and returned to the Agency in a car arranged by Winston.

After Charlotte left by car, Winston took out his phone and sent Ginny a message: "Lord Charlotte, you're back."

The Rolls-Royce drove along and soon arrived at Charlotte Agency on the street where it was located.

Looking at the Agency, which had returned to normal, Charlotte's eyes flashed with Three-Tomoe, and the magic circles inside the Agency were fully displayed to block his prying eyes.

Seeing this change, Charlotte realized what was happening: was everything returning to normal?

It's amazing that it can restore buildings that have been bombed into ruins. It seems that some magic in the Magic World isn't as bad as I thought; it's actually quite practical.

It's likely that all of this was arranged by Professor Balthazar and Dave, since no one else in the Magic World knew about it, and they only mentioned it briefly when they left.

After getting out of the car and letting the driver go back on his own, Charlotte looked at the "Closed for Business" sign hanging on the door, took it down, and went inside.

As Charlotte walked in, the staff members all greeted her respectfully, saying, "Lord Charlotte!"

Charlotte nodded, looked at the unfamiliar faces, and silently walked to the service desk.

Selene said respectfully, "Lord Charlotte, you're back."

"Have your injuries fully recovered?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. My injuries have fully healed."

Who's at the Agency?

"Lady Shizune and Lady Tsunade are both in the Laboratory, and the other ladies are all on missions."

Charlotte nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Charlotte didn't linger in the hall; she went straight back to her room.

Back in her room, Charlotte sat on the bed and began to review her recent gains.

By signing in through the system over the past seven days, I have received 50 servings of Delicious Ramen, 200 Ninja Jade (VIP level 4 grants double rewards of Reincarnation Stone +200), 200 Reincarnation Stone, 300 Prestige, 8 Ninjutsu Scroll, 1 Ninja Recruitment Scroll (VIP level 5 grants double rewards of Ninja Recruitment Scroll +1), and 50 servings of Delicious Ramen.

Back on Earth, Iruka, Yamato, and Itachi completed a bounty mission for the Continental Hotel every day, totaling 21 D-rank missions over seven days.

You will receive a reward Prestige 200 x 21 = 4200 Reputation Points and 5000 x 21 = 105000 copper coins.

Charlotte was somewhat disappointed to see that all the missions were D-rank, but considering the strength of the ninjas, it was reasonable for the missions they received to be D-rank.

However, these gains were not the most important thing to Charlotte; what she valued most were the magical materials she acquired, which were items that could be used to recharge her account.

Charlotte waved her hand and took out all the 30% of the magical materials she had kept from her Storage Space, looking at the magical materials that filled the room.

Charlotte held out her palm. "Recharge!"

The palm was like a devouring space, absorbing all the magical materials without leaving a trace.

In just a few seconds, all the magical materials were completely absorbed.

Ding! Recharge successful! Total recharge: 6038 Gold Coin!

Charlotte frowned slightly upon seeing that she had only recharged 6038 Gold Coin. With so many magical materials, she had only recharged this much. Wouldn't the materials for a magic circle only amount to about 12,000 or 13,000?

It seems these things are worth more than just money, even though Charlotte hadn't expected. Of course, it's not that these magical materials aren't expensive; after all, materials that can be used to create new targets across dimensions are extremely precious throughout the entire universe.

However, these items did not show their value after being recharged.

Charlotte then took out the Light Stone. Looking at the item in her hand, Charlotte didn't hesitate at all and immediately recharged it. No matter how precious something is, nothing is more practical than directly converting it into her own strength.

Ding! Successfully recharged 3280 Gold Coin, achieving the first recharge double reward, and received an extra 3280 Gold Coin.

Seeing another 6,560 Gold Coin in her account, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction. The price of a single Light Stone was equivalent to 15% of the value of magical materials. It truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure of Asgard.

It even triggered the first recharge bonus of 3280, but Charlotte knew that the first recharge bonus now only included one 25, which had to be used up.

After two consecutive top-ups, Charlotte's Gold Coin coins returned to 13,260. Considering the price of battle slots, Charlotte once again took out the Soul-Stabilizing Stone that Thor had given her.

After taking out the Soul-Stabilizing Stone, Charlotte immediately felt a sense of peace in her soul, as if everything was no longer so urgent.

Experiencing the effects of the Soul-Stabilizing Stone, Charlotte hesitated for a moment before finally making the recharge.

Ding! Top-up successful! You have received 6480 Gold Coin!

As the recharge notification sounded, Charlotte sighed. Just as he had expected, the Soul-Stabilizing Stone was the most valuable, costing 6480 Gold Coin per stone.

Charlotte had a plan in mind, knowing that this item originated from the Hell Dimension. Back in the Magic World, Mephisto and the Hell Creature came to cause trouble and attack the Magic World.

Once he had gained some strength, he led his men in a counterattack against the Hell Dimension, plundering all its useful treasures. If necessary, he even cultivated a God Tree in the Hell Dimension to drain its resources dry.

I wonder if the God Tree Fruit cultivated in the Hell Dimension will have any different effects.

After recharging all the items that could be recharged, Charlotte's gaze fell on the Grimhold. Seven days had passed, and she could open another layer of the Grimhold. Without hesitation, Charlotte took out the Grimhold and immediately began to break the seal.

As Charlotte's magic surged, the seal on the Grimhold was broken, and a flash of light revealed an evil witch in the room.

Charlotte didn't give her a chance to speak. Lightning flashed in her hand, and the Chidori pierced through her chest from behind. The witch, who had just left the seal, died on the spot before she could even experience the outside world.

After taking the magical equipment from the other party, Charlotte immediately recharged her account and received an additional 2,000 Gold Coin.

Seeing the witch lying on the ground, Charlotte pressed the service bell and called the Agency's staff.

"Send this body to the Medical Laboratory!"

"Yes, Lord Charlotte!"

Two staff members quickly carried the witch's body out and cleaned the room for Charlotte.

All Gold Coin top-ups are now complete, and Charlotte now has 21,740 Gold Coin Gold Coin.

Upon entering the system's empty space, Charlotte went straight to the battle position page and began adding battle positions.

Ding! Spend 18,000 Gold Coin to add a battle slot?

Yes!

With 18,000 Gold Coin deducted, Charlotte gained another battle slot. Looking at Sakura Haruno, who had not yet been materialized in the ninja slot, Charlotte did not hesitate and directly placed her Ninja Card in the Deployment Slot.

Ding! Please select the location of the C-rank ninja, Sakura Haruno.

A. Within three meters of Charlotte Doyle.

B. Randomized display.

Given Sakura Haruno's current strength, personality, and experience, Charlotte dared not randomly manifest, fearing she might throw it in the wrong place and be captured by Hydra for experimentation.

After all, given Sakura Haruno's strength and personality, she really couldn't outmaneuver those old foxes at this point. Even S.H.I.E.L.D.. could probably extract a lot of information from Sakura Haruno.

Without hesitation, it materialized within a three-meter radius around him.

In the void, Sakura Haruno's figure slowly appeared like a dreamlike bubble, eventually transforming into a substantial body.

Sakura Haruno, who had just appeared, immediately pulled out Kunai the moment she opened her eyes and made a defensive gesture.

Charlotte nodded upon seeing this.

As Sakura Haruno saw Charlotte Doyle in the room, she withdrew her Kunai and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Charlotte!"

Looking at Sakura Haruno's short hair, Charlotte knew that this girl must have just finished the Chunin Ninja Exams, and her attitude was much more serious than when she first graduated.

Then he began to introduce the knowledge of this world to the other party.

······

On the other side.

Inside the Triskelion.

Upon hearing the report from his agents that Charlotte Doyle had appeared at the Agency's entrance and personally removed the "Closed for Business" sign, Coulson didn't linger. He immediately led a team of agents, armed with Energy Block, to gather intelligence.

Meanwhile, Nick Fury, in his office, was the first to learn of Charlotte Doyle's appearance and also received news of Coulson collecting the Energy Block.

In fact, Nick Fury had already obtained all the intelligence about Thor and others in Asgard through the Skrull were stationed in a spaceship in near-Earth orbit.

The Asgard of Asgard had a general understanding of its existence, but this information came from Nick Fury's own sources and was not shared with Coulson and other agents.

Instead, Nick Fury wanted to send the other party to Charlotte to verify the information, because he wanted to see how much the extraordinary ninjas behind Charlotte knew about the gods of the Asgard.

If he knew nothing about them, then the ninja's influence in Nick Fury's eyes would drop significantly. If they knew more about Skrull than the Asgard, then he would have to reassess the Genin's strength.

After all, if the ninjas could understand Asgard, which is far away on another planet, then their power must either have had previous contact with Asgard who came to Earth, or they must possess intergalactic abilities.

Whether it's intergalactic communication, physical flight across planets like Carol Vers, or possessing spaceships capable of interstellar travel, all of these will raise the danger level of the ninja forces.
