Chapter 2250: Late Autumn in Golden City (XIV)

Chapter 2224: Late Autumn in Jincheng (XIV)

While chatting, Loki and Strange began a huge task - looking up in the Chinese dictionary, trying their best to understand the Chinese documents that Strange brought back from the village chief.

"I received an invitation letter and learned that Schiller will hold a banquet for his godson's successful graduation." Strange said, "At the same time, he invited us to visit his manor, the one in another universe."

"He lives in a manor in another universe?" Loki looked up at Strange and confirmed with some disbelief: "Is it the kind of building that takes at least ten minutes to walk from one door to another?"

"Too conservative, have you seen Tony Stark's manor in Beverly Hills? There is a golf course between its living room and bedroom. If you don't take a car, you will break your legs."

"It's hard to imagine. I think Schiller will start complaining after living there for two days." Loki turned over a page in his hand and said, "He has complained to me more than once that he built Arkham Sanatorium too big, causing him to walk for more than ten minutes every day after rounds to get back to his office."

"But he enjoys it because many people sigh to him He has such a big hospital, and the upper class of New York thinks he is rich and generous. Do you think he will not like to hear this? "

"Much better than you." Loki said sarcastically: "When people mention you, they say you are a really good doctor, with superb medical skills and miraculous healing. They don't mention your character at all."

"I know they curse me behind my back." Strange rolled his eyes and said: "The surgery schedule is too full. I will do it to whoever pays more. I am such a profit-seeking villain. Tony Stark's favors don't work. Who do they think they are?"

"I believe Tony's favors are particularly useless." Loki laughed and said: "You are targeting him. I don't know where you two get so many quarrels every day?"

"He is always looking for trouble." Strange gently turned a page of the dictionary and said: "Pepper has a small tumor in her uterus, only 8 mm, not even an early uterine fibroid, It was not visible in the B-ultrasound, but he invited 7 experts to consult and ignored my advice. "

"Then he messed up everything." Strange said coldly: "Pepper was very nervous because of him. She was found to have arrhythmia during hospitalization. Then she heard Tony's concern about fertility, and she was completely furious. "

"It was a great honor for him to meet Pepper." Strange also sighed and said: "This is the most unemotional person I have ever seen."

"I have experienced this. To be honest, when people pay too much attention to your fertility value, as if you are just an organ that breeds embryos, this feeling is really It will make people collapse. "Loki shook his head gently and said, "He is lucky to have only one slap."

"How long has Pepper been receiving psychological treatment from Schiller? Two weeks or three weeks?"

"Only a little more than a week. After three visits, Schiller referred her to Dr. Xavier to avoid suspicion or something."

"Maybe if Pepper continues to complain, it will be difficult for Schiller to maintain his friendship with Tony." Strange refilled his tea and said, "In all these years, Tony has not done well in this regard. Pepper has assumed too many responsibilities as a wife, even as a mother, in advance, but has not received enough emotional feedback."

"I heard that the two of them are now on vacation in the Andromeda Galaxy." Loki paused and said, "Do you think they will rush back to attend the party?"

"Of course, Tony may not think it is necessary, but if Pepper sees the invitation, she will realize that this is a formal social invitation. For the sake of Stark Group, she will definitely attend."

"They really don't say anything about each other. "Loki said helplessly: "Pepper's sense of responsibility is too strong, so she shoulders the part that she shouldn't bear. Maybe Tony also feels the pressure, but he is powerless to change or get rid of it."

"They will keep rotating and rubbing like this until one side devours the other, or they both cool down and turn from stars into soil. Maybe then it will be fine."

"That may have to wait until they are old." Loki sighed and said: "The hormone burst process of short-lived species is always too intense. They spend a few days making a decision that affects their life, and then spend the long second half of their lives to be responsible for this decision."

"We don't know enough about that universe." Loki brought the topic back on track and said: "Maybe I have seen it and come into contact with it, but I still don't know what kind of dress is not impolite, and what gifts to bring."

"I met some people in the other world over there, which is similar to ours, so I think the rules of the upper class are the same, exquisite, grand and distinctive, and expensive gifts that are not out of line."

"Do you think I can wear the royal clothes of Asgard? Wouldn't it be a bit too weird? Do you need to wear a helmet? "

"I think you might as well become a woman and wear a beautiful skirt. You can't go wrong anywhere." Strange thought and said, "Maybe you can consider an Asgardian-style long skirt, like your sister."

"I'm not sure if she's invited." Loki frowned slightly and said, "If this is a very formal banquet, then Schiller can't leave Hela behind. It would be too embarrassing if we were dressed similarly."

"But she usually wears dark colors, and I noticed that you prefer light colors when wearing women's clothes."

"Just to avoid being the same as her." Loki shrugged and said, "Otherwise it would make Frigga sad."

"Then as always." Strange put on his monocle and began to carefully look up the densely packed small characters in the Chinese dictionary and said, "Uniform style, but staggered colors and styles, the one you wore at the ball of the God King's wedding is good."

Loki raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect you to have good taste. That is my favorite dress so far, but I can't wear the same one. It's too unlucky. Respect."

"Then gold?"

"Sif's exclusive color, I can't steal the spotlight from the Queen of Gods."

"Then silver."

"Thor's armor is usually bright silver."

Strange sighed and said, "I now understand your difficulties a little bit, so white is still the color that is least likely to go wrong."

Loki seemed to be seriously considering the style, and he said, "What do you think of light yellow green? The color of young buds, the goddesses said that this color suits me very well."

Strange also thought about it and said, "I think it may be refreshing, but there are risks."

"Siller will tolerate me." Loki grinned and said, "He understood my difficulties earlier than you."

"Are we going to attend together? Or do you have a male or female companion?"

"Originally I wanted to find a female companion, and the candidates I was considering were Wanda or Natasha, but if I attend as a woman, then the male companions will be you, Thanos or Hawkeye."

"If I wear the robe of the Sorcerer Supreme, will it affect your image? Will red and green not match well?"

"I really want to suggest that you don't wear a cloak, but I guess your cloak won't agree, and it's also difficult to change its color, but I think purple or the black of the suit is also difficult to match with yellow-green."

Both of them fell into deep thought, as if they were thinking about how to coordinate each other's colors. Loki suddenly realized and said, "Find Stark's clothing consultant, and leave professional matters to professionals."

"Don't mention Stark anymore... Oh, you mean Pepper, right? That's a good idea, I I'll call her later."

Loki handed the paper in his hand to Strange and said, "I have translated this page. Take a look. The more useful information is that their plan covers 16 nearby villages this time."

"The international information here has also been translated." Strange handed it to Loki and said, "They have cooperated with Nepal, India, and Pakistan. They call this cooperation organization the Ring Peak Transportation Development Alliance."

"The first line is expected to pass through Nepal to India, and the second line is through India to Pakistan."

"It's a big project. So which line are we on?"

"It's not a big project for them. In fact, we can be on any line, because the air traffic system is different from the land-based traffic, and the route can be more flexible and changeable."

"Look at this one." Strange pointed to one of them and said, "The initial solution is the cargo transportation problem. Manned transportation may require more testing, but I think it will be no later than half a year, so we have to make progress in these few months so that we can get a site. "

Loki put down what he was holding, began to think seriously and said: "In fact, I think the villages around us are not poor, but a little primitive. If we want them to enter the modern era quickly, it is inevitable that the original customs and style will be destroyed."

"I don't think we need to compromise with modernization." Strange also put down what he was holding, put his hands on the table and said: "That is the way of science, and we have now walked our own way."

"Magic lighting does not require wires and electric towers, so there is naturally no need to break ground. The magic seeds we are studying can be used in ordinary people's farmland, which will also allow them to get a bumper harvest, and they don't even need any modern agricultural machinery."

"I think such an investment is reasonable, because the energy from the universe in our hands cannot bring any benefit to the earth."

"And if we think that magic cannot enter the society of ordinary people, then one day it will flow in in another way that we don't like."

"So do you think we can try to build a magic society here? "Loki looked up at him and asked.

Strange nodded. This was the advantage of chatting with Loki. He could always quickly understand the intention and summarize it in a perfect way, which divided the conversation into clear paragraphs and was very convenient to echo.

"Yes, we can make a lot of gold, but that is not a good way to govern ordinary people. They need a lifestyle that is closer to their nature to produce and sell. After getting the money, part of it is invested in production and part of it is used to enjoy life."

"What do you think they can produce?"

"A lot of things. Of course, the food from this year's bumper harvest can make them a little money, but this is obviously not a long-term solution. The population here is sparse, and not much food is needed, and it is difficult to sell far away."

"Traditional farming and grazing are not suitable for villages in remote areas. Handicrafts would be a good choice, but the efficiency is too low, and magic can't help much. We can't sell real magic props to ordinary people."

"But if the scope of magic seeds is expanded to medicinal materials, it will be completely different."
