Chapter 273 Trap
The trip to Kamar-Taj was quite smooth. After Kahn arrived at Kamar-Taj, he talked about magic with the Ancient One.
Almost all magicians on Earth practiced the "white magic" inherited from Vishanti. As long as they practiced slowly, they would be connected with Vishanti and then be able to use the power of these demons.
In Kamar-Taj, all magic has its owner, and Vishanti's price is the smallest, so Kamar-Taj hardly participates in any disputes between humans. Their duty is to prevent the invasion of the dark dimension.
If you don't use magic indiscriminately, you can live a long time with the help of magic, and there are many ways to help transfer the price.
For other people, this is already very good, as long as they don't mess around like Doctor Strange, who used magic indiscriminately when he was alive, and it is uncertain what price he will pay after his death.
Kahn's magic has no such limitation. All magic effects come from himself. In other words, he is the first "wizard" demon in the universe, but he is still too weak and has not created his own dimension. However, after talking with the Ancient One, he also learned a lot about Vishanti's magic.
Before leaving, Kahn used five of his own alchemical items and some copied legendary wizards' magic understanding to exchange for a lot of magic books from the Ancient One. Kahn wanted to study how to create his own magic civilization. Vishanti and other magics have a great connection.
"Well, I'll take my leave first, Master Ancient One. I will come to visit you again after I digest what I have gained today."
Before leaving, Kahn smiled and said to the Ancient One. He had gained a lot today. He was too cautious before. Although Master Ancient One and Doctor Strange were both Supreme Sorcerers, they had different philosophies. Moreover, the Ancient One lived longer and had seen more people and gods. As long as you don't violate her philosophy, there will be no one to target you.
There is a big difference between the Supreme Sorcerer and the Avengers!
"No need to send me off. I'll go back by myself."
Kahn saw that Mordo wanted to help him open the space door, so he waved his hand and said, and then he directly used the Apparition to leave Kamar-Taj.
"No matter how many times I watch it, it feels magical. If he can really create his own magic dimension, then I have witnessed the rise of a demon god."
After seeing the apparition, the Ancient One sighed. In the previous conversation, she noticed Kahn's intention, but she did not agree to the matter of black magic, or directly changed the subject.
The power of black magic is not so easy to get involved. She herself got involved in black magic because she had a mission that must be completed, so she had to use the power of the dark dimension to prolong her life.
Mordo asked: "Master, that kind of magic"
"It can't be practiced, at least Kamar-Taj can't practice it. Maybe only he has a way to pass magic to others, but many things can still be learned from."
The Ancient One shook his head and replied. Vishanti's magic is already very comprehensive, and they can't use Vishanti's power to perform other magic.
However, the alchemy in it is still very wonderful. The Ancient One suddenly felt that these alchemical items could largely replace the Kamar-Taj mages to accept the "price", which can also be regarded as an alternative to improve the strength of Kamar-Taj mages.
SHIELD's Secret Base in New York
"Do we really want to do this?"
Fitz asked with some resistance: "I can improve the electromagnetic wave equipment and try to get the information out through the equipment. There is no need to let Simmons go with me?"
"How long will it take you?"
Coulson asked: "According to our judgment, the so-called school is likely to be related to human research. If we don't find out now, we can only wait until the construction of Pent Middle School to start from this aspect. However, this is more difficult, and the final goal will still be within these targets."
For several months, they have made no progress in key intelligence, and
the Biological Research Center, the headquarters base of the Umbrella Military Security Company, and the Kahn Pent Manor are the most difficult to infiltrate. They don't take the initiative to accept outsiders at all. All personnel are found by themselves, and then they are absorbed after being assessed.
If you want to lurk in those two places, the first thing you face is hundreds of armed guards, and there will even be heavy weapons and super soldiers.
Let alone them, even Captain America and several of SHIELD's most outstanding agents are not sure of infiltrating.
The Kahnpent Manor is their target, but there seems to be a strong magnetic field there, and all communication tools will become ineffective once they enter there; and even satellites cannot detect it, so it is a very mysterious place for them.
However, there are no guards there, not even an outsider. This is the information that Agent Carter accidentally obtained. Although there are many super soldiers in Umbrella, every time they arrive at Kahn Manor, even super soldiers cannot enter.
"I am also an agent of SHIELD, Fitz, and I will be with Agent Carter, no problem."
Simmons comforted Fitz. Before taking on this task, Coulson specifically discussed with her. In the case that electronic equipment can hardly be used, they must have an agent who understands human experiments to quickly collect data.
"Don't worry, Director Fury has applied for a special license for you. Not only do you have a new identity, but there are also two directors willing to take responsibility for this behavior. Even if you are captured by the military, you will be bailed out by SHIELD."
After hearing Coulson's words, Simmons and others felt much more relieved; they all knew about Pepper Potts, but with Coulson's words, they were much bolder.
They had almost made all the preparations for the lurking plan, date and route of action, etc., and also conducted a detailed analysis. Finally, they chose a day when Kahn was not there, which was the board meeting of the Pent Group.
After a while, on the day of the Pent Group board meeting, Sharonnia just found an excuse not to attend. After confirming that Kahn Pent appeared in the company, they began to act.
However, when they arrived near the Kahn Manor, Simmons suddenly found that there was nothing here. She asked in confusion: "Agent Carter, are you sure it is here?"
"It is here. This is like an unknown technological means that can produce a mirage feeling, which makes you subconsciously ignore it, but you can pay attention to it if you concentrate, and I am very sure."
Sharon Carter had not finished speaking when the desolate scene in front of them suddenly changed. In their eyes, some medieval-style architectural manors suddenly appeared. Simmons asked in surprise: "Agent Carter, what's going on? Has this happened before?"
Sharon Carter shook her head solemnly: "No, I don't know, but it seems that the instrument is turned off? Coulson, is it you who did it?"
Coulson's voice came from the headset: "It has nothing to do with us, but we can connect the signal, and the satellite here has also detected the picture. Do you want to terminate the operation?"
Sharon Carter thought for a while, and said decisively in her heart: "Continue, we will notify you immediately if there is any situation."
After she decided, the two continued to lurk inside.
Compared with the outside, the environment inside gives people a brand new feeling. It is hard to say why, but from the style and division of the buildings and the rules and construction of the gardens, it makes people feel very comfortable and peaceful.
Sharon Carter has also seen many gardens, but no garden has given her such a brand new and peaceful feeling.
However, she did not forget the mission. There are many buildings here, but the most core one should be the one on the seaside; whether it is from the road or the size of the house, Sharon and Simmons felt that it was the core of this manor after looking at each other.
However, after coming in, Simmons found that he could transmit signals and released some reconnaissance equipment. There might be intelligence in other villas.
They didn't have much time. After Simmons released the reconnaissance equipment, he went directly to the largest medieval villa on the beach.
After a careful inspection at the gate, Simmons felt strange and said, "There are no locks or guards, not even alarms. Agent Carter, is the protection here all dependent on the previous mirage release instrument?"
Sharon Carter took a deep breath and said, "I always have a bad feeling. Coulson, where is the target?"
"Still in the meeting, it is estimated that he will be back in an hour."
Hearing this news, Sharon Carter thought about it again at the door, and then pushed the door in directly; a qualified agent should not be so hesitant in the mission, but she always felt that she was being stared at but couldn't find it, and at the same time she felt that this mission would definitely fail.
Hiss~
A slight sound was heard, and Sharon Carter and Simmons looked back at the same time after hearing it, but after seeing the scene behind them, their pupils instantly dilated, as if they had seen a very terrifying scene.
A huge green snake appeared behind them at some point. Its tongue was several meters long, its golden pupils were more than one meter long, and its huge head was almost as big as a truck.
"Stranger? Master, can I eat it?"
The dull question from the green snake made Sharon Carter and Simmons' legs go weak. Was this the guard of this manor? And the giant snake was talking? Who was it asking?
"Go in, Simmons!"
Sharon Carter bit her tongue and used the pain to bring herself back from her fear. Then she dragged Simmons into the house and closed the door. However, after they came in, they could still see the big snake constantly wandering around the villa through the surrounding windows.
The snake's body alone was more than three meters thick!
Simmons was frightened and dazed after encountering this situation. If Sharon Carter hadn't dragged her in, she would have sat on the ground with weak legs.
"Carter, Agent Carter, what should we do?"
Simmons asked in a panic. This was completely beyond the task. Facing a giant snake that he had never seen before and that was as big as a hill, the knowledge Simmons had learned before was of no use at all.
Sharon Carter took a deep breath and managed to calm her pounding heart. Then she comforted Simmons and said, "Request support and retreat. It seems that this giant snake will not come into the house. I hope Coulson can let the Avengers arrive in time. Coulson, Coulson!?"
The signal is gone again?
After Sharon Carter took off the headset, she checked the other equipment again; all of them had no signal, and they had lost contact with Coulson.
Simmons quickly checked the special communication equipment she was carrying, but there was still no response, so she said in despair: "Agent Carter, I too..."
"Because I blocked all signals, I thought it was someone else. It turns out you are an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharonya, I should call you Sharon Carter..."
A voice suddenly came from the house. Sharon Carter and Simmons turned around at the same time, and were shocked to see Kahn slowly walking down the stairs holding a book; in their cognition, the target should be the Pent Group, and Sharon Carter only noticed at this time that something was wrong in the house, something very wrong.
"I rarely use memory-reading magic like Legilimency, because there are too many things to see, and some memories are very disgusting. But S.H.I.E.L.D. is almost gone, and you still dare to provoke me. Tsk, tsk, how should I deal with you?"
After saying this, Kahn had slowly walked to the two women. Sharon Carter wanted to draw his gun to defend herself, but as soon as she touched the gun, all the equipment on her body suddenly flew away, including the monitoring equipment on Simmons, all floating around Kahn. Now they don't even have a knife on them.
Bang.
At this time, the door behind Sharon Carter and Simmons was suddenly pushed open. Sharon Carter looked back and immediately pulled Simmons aside in shock. She saw that the giant snake just now seemed to have shrunk a little, and after pushing the door open, it slowly crawled in, then lowered its snake head and said to Kahn,
"Master..."
