During the trip to New York, Russell took Jason with him. With him by his side to block... well, the two of them cooperated tacitly, and he felt more at ease with him by his side.
When he came to New York for the second time, Russell quickly contacted Natasha. With her superb espionage skills, the latter has now joined the SSR headquarters and became a civilian employee in the legal department.
The SSR during this period was far less large than SHIELD, but although Sparrow was small and well-equipped, many places were short of manpower. Natasha's knowledge and brains (xin) (ji) made it easy to be recruited as a peripheral member.
Although her position was low and inconspicuous, Natasha's goal was achieved and she successfully attracted Howard's attention. It should be said that he is worthy of being Tony Stark's father-in-law. When they were young, one of them had a bad temper and couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. Natasha fascinated Howard with her smile and he surrounded her every day. Affection.
The word "sex" was like a knife to the head, and Howard paid a heavy price for it - freedom!
Under Russell's instruction, Natasha made an appointment with Howard to meet alone at a love hotel in New York. The meaning was obvious. Howard, as a veteran in the field of flowers, readily accepted the offer. He had a coquettishly slicked-back hair, and his suit and tie were sprayed with perfume.
As a result, there was no beautiful woman, but there was one sturdy man.
As soon as Howard entered the door, Jason locked him from behind, covered his mouth and dragged him into the bedroom, and then he was pushed down on the big bed. There was a huge gap in strength between the two, and Howard looked filled with grief, anger and despair. The only thing he could do was to hold on to his waistband tightly before being knocked unconscious.
It's so pitiful that Howard didn't think so before he came. If he wasn't afraid of scaring the beauty, he wouldn't even want to wear pants to the appointment. Now, he only regretted that he didn't invent the portable chastity lock.
The process of enslavement was considered successful. Russell tried five times to successfully enslave Howard. His mental will was good, far stronger than ordinary people, and he had the potential to become a superhero, but his weaknesses were too obvious.
woman!
liquor!
Curiosity!
Russell used a little trick to coerce and lure Howard in his spiritual world, and used the robot technology of 2035 to fool him into nowhere. He successfully carved a mark and concluded an unequal contract.
After waking up, Howard was a little confused. The reason why he let Russell carve the mark calmly was because he was shocked by the black technology, and he thought he was having a nightmare and didn't take it seriously.
After taking care of Howard, Russell followed the same method and enslaved Peggy Carter, another veteran of SHIELD. It was a very simple operation. He and Howard visited Agent Carter at his door.
Natasha also followed. Ms. Carter was as beautiful as a flower, sexy and mature, and had the attributes of a wife and a widow. She felt that she had to follow, otherwise Russell would fall down with a push and her previous efforts would be in vain. .
Natasha is obviously overthinking it. Carter's true love for Steve is just less than Bucky's. Steve disappeared on the front line. She didn't think about food or drink, and worked around the clock to numb herself. As a result, she fell ill and was bedridden at home due to overwork. The doctor diagnosed her with mental fatigue and unstable mental state.
The process of enslaving Carter was easier than Howard. Russell mentioned Steve's whereabouts in her spiritual world, and she honestly didn't resist.
After that, it was Dr. Pym's turn. Unfortunately, Russell was unlucky. Dr. Pym was not in New York or even within the borders of the United States. He is not currently a member of SSR, does not know Carter, and his relationship with Howard is average, not even a friend.
Although Dr. Pym did not have a quarrel with Howard at this time, they were competitors. The two were both geniuses and always wanted to compete and prove that they were stronger than the other. Therefore, even if Howard asked him to meet, he might not be rewarded. .
Russell guessed that Dr. Pym might have gone to other battlefields to secretly test his Pym particles and Ant-Man suit. He left without waiting much. Anyway, Dr. Pym lived a long life and would have many opportunities in the future.
Although Howard and Carter were enslaved, Russell did not arrange the task specifically. Everything would develop according to normal history. They were enslaved just in case. Howard had a task that wasn't really a task. Russell asked him to prepare an extra copy of the data and send it to him when he was studying the Rubik's Cube.
After the trip to New York, Russell hurriedly boarded the SSR plane and rushed to Nepal. The trip to Kamal Taj had been delayed for too long. During this period, he also went to the New York Temple, and the old man with a beard who received him was still the same old man with a beard. Even the dialogue was very different. If he wanted to go to Kama Taj, he had to find it on his own.
…
Nepal!
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, means 'single-plank building'.
Russell knew about the entrance to Kama Taj, one was in a village in the Himalayas, and the other was somewhere in Kathmandu. Compared to the freezing Himalayas, Russell chose Kathmandu first. If he couldn't find it, he would consider going up to the mountains to endure the cold.
Kathmandu is surrounded by mountains and is located on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. It has a natural barrier to block the cold winds from the north, and faces the Indian Ocean warm current to the south. Therefore, the climate is not as cold as expected. The sun is shining all year round and the climate is pleasant. It is a good place for tourism and vacation.
This city is known as the city of temples and has a strong religious atmosphere. Especially during World War II, there were few reinforced concrete buildings in the city. From the perspective of outsiders, this place is indeed a paradise.
Although Nepal had become independent at this time, it was still a puppet of the British regime. Being an agent was a very good profession. Natasha made a self-made British certificate, so her movement here could be said to be unimpeded. With her help, things were smooth. Russell was in a lot of trouble.
Possessing the skill of 'Language Proficiency', Russell asked questions on the street alone. Natasha and Jason were sent out. The three of them split up and notified him immediately if they found anything.
The search process is very boring, I keep asking, and there is no shortcut.
The three Russells almost visited the streets of Kathmandu. After a whole week, the answer they got was that they had never heard of Kama Taj.
Natasha asserted that if Kamal Taj is not in Nepal, it is definitely an underground organization that is very good at hiding because their confidentiality work is so tight.
Russell rolled his eyes and ignored her. Ordinary people have no access to magic, so they don't know that Kama Taj is normal. Considering the usual urinary nature of the worldly master, this is probably a test for him.
Just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, would Patriarch Bodhi know that the monkey is destined to him?
Of course he knew, but he still let the monkey travel across mountains and rivers, and came all the way to the mountain gate before accepting him.
Russell thought so, and then searched for another week, but still couldn't find a hair. Under Natasha's personal comfort, he entered the sage's time and faced the problem with a normal mind. Finally, a turning point occurred.
Jason has lost contact!
The slavery contract was broken, and Russell lost his sense of Jason. He contacted Natasha and followed Jason's location before he disappeared to a remote monastery.
Jason stood motionless at the gate facing the wall. Even when he walked up to him, Russell didn't sense the slavery contract until he patted him on the shoulder. Jason woke up from a dream and looked down at Russell. His confused eyes were very suitable for the situation, as if he was asking Russell where he was.
Russell couldn't guess this situation, but...
Looking at the door wall of the temple, he was speechless: "I have been to this place before... four times!"
Natasha shrugged: "Three times!"
All masters in the world are like this, and it will pass if they endure it, Russell comforted himself like this. It's no good if you can't bear it. People have to bow their heads under the roof. He is here to study, and his attitude must be correct. What's more, there is a big boss inside who can beat him.
Before entering, Russell patted the dust on his clothes and asked Jason and Natasha to wait outside. Especially Jason, this guy is essentially the undead from hell, the ghost king who kills people without blinking an eye. Bringing him in is just to make himself uncomfortable, and he might be subdued by someone on the spot.
It doesn't matter that Jason was killed, it would be a disaster if Russell was labeled as a dark wizard. Although the Supreme Mage's ability and magical attainments would not be biased against dark wizards, but just in case, Jason still needs to get out of the way. How far.
Jason: (._.)
Russell's attitude is very low-key, very modest and cautious. In the movie, Strange, who was noisy, made rude remarks in front of the bald woman, and was taught how to behave on the spot. Even though the bald woman knew that Strange was her long-awaited disciple, he still Throw him out.
First impressions are important, so be polite and you’ll never go wrong!
Pushing open the door of the temple, you will see that there is something inside the temple that is unremarkable on the outside. The open-air square in the middle is surprisingly large.
Russell suddenly felt a cold wind coming, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside the temple was very obvious. When he turned around and looked again, there was no trace of Natasha outside the door. Not to mention Natasha, even the streets are nowhere to be found, with blue sky and white clouds and towering mountains in the distance. He is no longer in Kathmandu.
It was a very clever portal, and he didn't even sense a trace of magic leaking out!
Russell took a deep breath, regained his composure, and walked toward the front hall with a solemn expression.
"Hello, young mage, welcome to Kama Taj." An old figure suddenly appeared in the open square, blocking in front of Russell, saying with a smile.
"Huh!? You...you are not the one from the New York Temple..." Russell was dumbfounded. The old man with the white beard in front of him was the gatekeeper of the New York Temple.
The old man with a white beard nodded and smiled: "First meeting, young mage."
Russell opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Okay, are you the Supreme Mage?"
You are the boss, you say it’s the first time you meet someone.
"There is no Supreme Mage here. My name is Ancient One, you can call me that!"
Russell rolled his eyes. The boss was really pretentious and complained: "What a coincidence. Last time I saw a mage who looked exactly like you in the New York Temple. I asked him about Kama Taj and he told me to go to the toilet. I found it. It seems I’m lucky and don’t have to go to the toilet in the Himalayas.”
Master Gu Yi stroked his beard and said calmly: "You can also go to the restroom in the Himalayas. That is also the entrance. In fact, there is also a restroom in Siberia that leads directly to here."
