The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 2 The Magical Man

In 1943, the United States, New York, Brooklyn.

People in the streets came and went, but they all discussed the ongoing war.

"I heard that the Third Reich's attack is very fierce, and the Allies are almost unable to stop it."

"You say, are we still safe?"

"Of course, our country has just joined the war, not to mention that we are separated by an ocean. As long as we gain a firm foothold on the battlefield, we will definitely be able to lead the Allies to victory."

"Yes! We will definitely win! I am going to join the army and contribute my strength. Will you go?"

"Of course! Together!"

"Go!"

Watching the passionate three leave through the window, Adam smiled slightly. He liked to see such a scene very much. Sunshine, passion, and hope radiate beautiful brilliance.

"The war? It's almost over." Adam murmured, then picked up the coat hanging on the wall and prepared to go out to buy today's ingredients. Counting the time, the child should be back. It is estimated that the registration for joining the army has failed again. Yes, I need some reassurance.

Adam put on his clothes and went out. The neighbors saw him and greeted him cordially.

Adam plays the role of a doctor here. He is very skilled in medicine and never collects money indiscriminately. He even helps neighbors to see a doctor and treat injuries for free on many occasions. He has never failed.

So the neighborhood relations are all good.

He was just about to go to the store, but he backtracked, and looked across the street helplessly, only to see a strong young man with black hair and blue eyes walking over with the support of a thin and short young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Ah! Uncle Adam! Look, Steve is being bullied again."

"Damn it, I didn't, Bucky, stop talking nonsense to Dad!"

One of these two is Bucky Barnes, the son of Adam's neighbor, the Barnes family, who lives with his uncle, and his parents... died because of the war.

And the other, Adam's adopted son, is called Steve Rogers, of course, is now called Steve Kronos.

Adam also knew the future identities of the two. Bucky would disappear in this war and become the feared killer "Winter Soldier" in the future.

And Steve will become the superhero "Captain America".

As for how Adam knew, he was also very surprised. When he first came to this world, an inexplicable memory woke up in Adam's mind. As time went by, he discovered that it was the future of this world.

But unfortunately, with his arrival, the future of this world has been changed and become blurred, even Adam can't see clearly with his "clairvoyance".

As for how this famous "Captain of the United States" became his adopted son in the future, I can only say that God made a big joke on him.

Steve's parents also died because of the war, and they have always been very close to the Barnes family, and their father was a comrade in the army.

Originally, Steve had no other relatives and would be fostered at the Barnes family, but by coincidence, Adam adopted Steve. What is interesting is that the residence he chose arbitrarily at that time was even more closely related to the Barnes family. Close together.

Adam recalled what Alaya Shi had taught him: "Fate is a bastard, walk around it and it will come to you, and even actively push you forward."

"Oh, let me see, Steve, have you added a man's honor again?" Adam squatted in front of Steve and teased while checking his injuries.

"I didn't, Dad, listen to me, I defeated a robber by myself!" Steve said with some pride.

"Yes, yes, and then he was cornered and beaten by the other party's accomplices, and finally had to use a trash can lid as a shield." Bucky immediately dismantled the situation.

"Bucky!" Steve looked at Bucky disapprovingly.

"Ahaha, I was wrong. It was our heroic Mr. Steve who successfully helped an innocent man who was robbed and taught the robber a lesson." Bucky said with his hands raised.

"Haha, huh? You're so brave, Steve." Adam praised.

"Of course, don't look at whose son it is? Hiss~" Steve puffed up his chest and raised his head, but the wound was involved, and he took a deep breath in pain.

"Okay, Bucky, please help him back to the house and rub the medicine on him. You know where the medicine is. I'm going to buy vegetables. What do you want to eat?"

“Spicy Chicken!”

"Braised pork!"

The two said at the same time that although Bucky is not a child of Adam's family, he has been visiting the house and eating together since he was a child, and he has become accustomed to all of this.

"Okay, I see." Adam nodded, and walked to the store.

Bucky helped Steve back to the house, found the medicine and rubbed it on him, but at the same time asked him: "Steve, do you think... Uncle Adam is weird?"

"Bucky! Even if you are my friend, I will not allow you to insult my dad!" Steve was a little unhappy.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting Uncle Adam. I'm serious. Haven't you noticed... Hasn't Uncle Adam changed at all after so many years? You know, my uncle is already an old man." Bucky said.

"What are you talking about? My dad said that his medical skills are superb, and he pays attention to dietary nutrition, which can prevent aging!" Steve replied immediately.

The corner of Bucky's mouth twitched, isn't this reason too nonsense?Anti-aging is okay, but it doesn’t mean stopping aging!After so many years, nothing has changed at all. You told me that it is the effect brought about by medical skills and food. Are you lying to ghosts?

And Bucky found that, except for himself and Steve, no one had discovered this point, no, it should have avoided this point actively, for example, he asked his uncle this question, but whenever he mentioned this matter, his uncle would Inexplicably avoiding the topic.

But Bucky doesn't think too much, because he was also raised by Adam since he was a child. He knows that Adam is a good person, and everyone has their own secrets. Bucky won't talk nonsense, but believes that Adam is a very Amazing, amazing man.

……

Adam finished shopping and went home, and at the same time called the Barnes family. After all, it is always bad for children to eat at home and leave adults aside.

"Damn it, Adam, I've never eaten such delicious food, don't say I'm rambunctious! How many times do I have to say that! When the war is over, I must go to the mysterious East and eat all the delicacies there!"

This is what Bucky's uncle would say every time he went to Adam's house for dinner. There was no way, who told Adam to be a good cook.

Although I didn't study cooking as a subject when I was on the Throne of Heroes, I can't stand Adam's strong learning ability!

Basically everything can be learned by reading it once. Even the recognized master craftsmen among the heroic spirits are very helpless.

In his spare time, Adam can only teach himself all kinds of messy things, including cooking, which also satisfies the appetites of the big eaters in the throne.

Speaking of heroic spirits, Adam has not summoned any heroic spirits for the time being, because the Demon God Pillar has not moved, and there is no existence in this world that can threaten Adam, so there is no need to waste magic power, even if Adam's magic power is unlimited. It's virtue.

After eating, he helped Adam clean up the dining table. The Barnes family said goodbye and went home. Adam cleaned the house, and then saw Steve curled up on the sofa in a depressed mood, looking out the window.

"What's the matter? Kid? Discouraged?" Adam asked as he moved closer to Steve.

"A little bit, this is already the fourth time, and the conscription office still doesn't allow me to join the army." Steve said with a low mood.

"So you're going to give up?" Adam asked.

"Of course not! I will participate in the fifth time. If the fifth time fails, I will go to the sixth time until I succeed! Dad, you have taught me that failure is success, mother, as long as you persist, you will definitely succeed!" Steve said loudly.

"Then what else do you have to lose?" Adam pressed.

"I'm just not reconciled, obviously I'm very good at fighting, but I just won't let me pass." Steve said depressed.

Adam taught Steve to exercise from a young age, wanting to make him stronger for the challenges ahead.

But what made Adam helpless was that no matter how much he exercised, Steve was still so thin and short. He had fighting ability, but his physical fitness was always so poor.

Although Adam could also make some potions to improve his physical fitness, but after thinking about it, if doing so would make Steve lose the chance to become Captain America, it would be a bit outweighed the gain, so he gave up.

But the basic fighting skills training has not been left behind. Adam can guarantee that as long as Steve is injected with that "super soldier serum", he will be twice as strong as he was originally.

"Okay, son, there's nothing to be depressed about. That's because they didn't find your shining point. One day, they will know. You know, gold..."

"Always shine!"

"You have learned to rush to answer."

Adam said as he ruffled Steve's hair.

"Hahaha, Dad, don't, I was wrong!"

"Since you admitted your mistake, let me let you go, but you have almost rested now, it's time to exercise."

"Okay, I see, I'll go now." Steve's mood improved, and the depression just now was thrown into the sky, and he walked towards the backyard.

"Go get Bucky, do you want to practice against the air?" Adam reminded.

"Oh, by the way, I'll go right away." Steve scratched his hair sheepishly and went out in the opposite direction.

Looking at Steve's back, Adam smiled wryly and shook his head, but thought of something.

"Is it the fourth time? Tomorrow will be the fifth time. The gears of fate will start to turn, and it's time to summon a heroic spirit." Adam thought.

Now Steve is his son. He doesn't want his son to be frozen into a popsicle for 70 years, nor does he want to let his original marriage be torn apart by fate, and he doesn't want to be with his good friend 70 years later. Fall in love and kill each other.
