Faced with Hill's excuse, Lu Xi secretly cursed in his heart.
Believe it or not, if S.H.I.E.L.D. really can't spare any money, then where did the funds for the safe houses that Nick Nick Fury built all over the world come from?
But what he was waiting for was the sentence Hill, so he responded naturally:
"Of course, your allocation will not be in vain. In exchange, we Kamar-Taj can expand the enrollment scale."
"You S.H.I.E.L.D. can recommend some people to learn magic. In addition, if you encounter some cosmic-level disaster, Kamar-Taj's mages can also come to help. It should be easy for you to use this reason to apply for increased funding."
Anyway, in the future, when guys like Dormammu and Thanos call, the mages will still take action when they should. It makes no difference if they are earlier.
When Hill heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked:
"Really? Are there any requirements for learning magic? Is there a limit on the number of students who can enroll?"
Lu Xi said calmly, "Magic requires a relatively high level of talent, and it is easier for people with strong Divine Power skills to learn it."
"As for the number of students enrolled, there is no limit for the time being, but I will review the registered list."
Hill nodded quickly:
"Understood, I will report to the bureau immediately."
After saying that, he hurried out and called to report the news.
Looking at Hill who left happily, Lu Xi showed a smile of success on his face.
In fact, the conditions he proposed for asking for money were just a smoke bomb to confuse S.H.I.E.L.D., with the purpose of lowering their vigilance.
What he really wants is to expand enrollment at Kamar-Taj.
Lu Xi knows S.H.I.E.L.D.'s urine properties very well. They will definitely deploy many agents when the time comes and recommend Kamar-Taj to learn magic.
But it doesn't matter, those people will find out after they study for a while.
If you want to have a certain level of combat effectiveness, you must have a certain amount of magic power deposits...
If you want to accumulate magic power, you have to keep doing Kamar-Taj's missions, or simply borrow magic power.
And Infinite Firepower Mode is right there, tempting them in plain sight.
How many people can resist being tempted in the face of this kind of temptation?
By that time, Lu Xi won't have to go through all the trouble of finding someone to sign a contract one by one.
Those who can't resist the temptation and want to recharge krypton gold will come to their door themselves.
Even if you can hold back for a while and don't come to the contract, you will become Kamar-Taj's high-quality cattle and horses.
Whether you choose liver or krypton, Lu Xi is not a loss no matter what.
This routine was learned by Lu Xi from Earth, a well-known krypton fraud game.
Lure people in first. Once you fall into the trap, the manufacturer will have 10,000 ways to trick you.
But this method of deceiving people should not be too obvious, so Lu Xi came up with this idea.
Lu Xi was immersed in his plan, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Wanda looked at his appearance with some curiosity in his heart.
She couldn't help but stretched out her finger, pointed at Lorelei gently, and asked doubtfully:
"What are you laughing at? And who is she?"
Lu Xi came back to his senses and explained with a smile:
"It's nothing, she is a new helper I found, here to help me with an experiment."
Now that the topic has come to this point, Lu Xi feels that it is just a good opportunity to complete the experiment of the Voice Enchantment contract.
As he spoke, he stood up and said to everyone:
"You guys can play by yourself for a while first, I still have some things to deal with."
After saying that, Lu Xi locked the position of Winter Soldier with his mind, and a portal slowly opened.
He turned to look at Lorelei and said, "Follow me."
Lorelei nodded slightly, followed Lu Xi, and the two walked into the portal together.
As the light flickered, they appeared in what looked like an underground base.
The light here is dim, and there are various cold instruments and equipment placed around it, giving it an eerie atmosphere.
Not far away, Bucky was frozen in a dormant chamber, and his body was shrouded in a faint blue light.
Strangely, there seemed to be no one in this base. It was so quiet that only the faint buzzing sound from the equipment could be heard.
At this moment, the large screen in front suddenly lit up, and the light instantly illuminated the entire base hall.
Doctor Zola's slightly distorted avatar appeared on the screen, and his voice spoke through the loudspeaker:
"Master Lucifer, welcome to visit us!"
Lu Xi nodded calmly.
"Unlock Winter Soldier, I have something to do with him."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, in the director's office.
Nick Nick Fury is sitting at his desk, listening to Agent Hill's report on the other end of the phone.
As Hill narrated, Nick Fury's expression gradually changed from concentration at first to disbelief, and finally couldn't help but uttered a curse word:
"Wortfalk?"
Nick Fury:(゜Д▼)
His eyes widened, his face full of shock:
"You mean, there is a mage organization that has existed on earth for a long time, but we S.H.I.E.L.D. have never heard of it in all these years?"
On the other end of the phone, Agent Hill's voice was clear and calm:
"Yes, Director. It is said that it is because they have been focusing on dealing with threats from other dimensions, so they rarely participate in worldly affairs."
Nick Fury frowned and asked:
"How big are they? What's their strength?"
Hill thought for a moment and replied:
"As for the scale, it is still unclear. However, the enemies they are dealing with are all powerful demon gods like Mephisto. This shows that their strength should not be underestimated."
Nick Fury stretched out his hand to pinch himself, and took a deep breath.
He feels that this world has become extremely strange recently.
After calming down a little, Nick Fury's mind started to work rapidly.
Recently, his ongoing plan to clean up Skrulls has encountered considerable obstacles.
His attempt to expel Skrulls from the earth seems to have been noticed by the other party, and a large part of Skrulls has gone underground and hidden.
Skrulls's deformed gene is too buggy. The testing equipment that S.H.I.E.L.D. has worked so hard to create can only perform one-to-one testing at close range.
This makes Nick Fury dare not launch a large-scale operation rashly and ask everyone to get tested.
The reason is very simple. If Skrulls's affairs are discovered by World Security Council...
As a director, it would be easy for him to be kicked off. It is more likely that he will be locked up and used as a sewing machine for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the current situation is so deadlocked, giving Nick Fury a headache.
At this time, the news about Kamar-Taj reported by Hill made Nick Fury feel that it might open a breakthrough for him.
Thinking of this, Nick Fury immediately had an idea and said to the phone:
"In this way, I will allocate 100 million funds first. You said that due to time constraints, it will take a certain amount of time to divert funds from other projects. This is only the first budget in the early stage."
After a pause, Nick Fury continued:
"At the same time, we will also select a few people to go to that Kamar-Taj to learn their magic."
Hill responded immediately:
"Okay, Director, I'll go find Lucifer to reply."
Nick Fury was just about to hang up the phone when he suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly:
"By the way, we finally negotiated a mutual aid agreement with Thor, but the god king of Asgard was replaced the next day? So is our previous agreement still valid?"
Agent Hill replied helplessly:
"I don't know, Director. He didn't mention it just now."
Nick Fury sighed helplessly:
"Okay, you find a suitable opportunity to ask him."
After hanging up the phone, Nick Fury leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment.
Then, he reached out and pressed a button on his desk and said into the intercom:
"Clint, Natasha, come to my office."
Thanks to my adoptive father [Ben Shao who loves to eat sesame yam for high fever] for the reward.
