The Wizard of the World

September 1347, Messina, a port city in Sicily, southern Italy.

The sound of waves sounded from afar, and no one noticed that a man in a black cloak was walking slowly on the street, his slender fingers caressing the black-haired mouse in his hand like a lover.

He called it Pester, a very scary rat.

"I hope I can succeed this time. It has taken me too much time to train you." The man bent down and put the mouse on the ground. Pest swung its pink paws and disappeared from the man's eyes in an instant.

The 50s and 1347s were a very terrible time for Europe. From 1353 to 2500, a horrific plague called the Black Death occurred in Europe. Within the year, it claimed the lives of [-] million Europeans, accounting for one-third of the total European population at that time.

Some modern scientists and historians speculate that the Black Death that broke out in the 14th century was the plague, caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis. These bacteria usually live on fleas and are spread by black rats.However, many scholars have put forward different views. They believe that the Black Death may have been an infectious disease brought back from other places by the Crusaders.

But so much time has passed, who can know the specific situation back then.

…………

Tønsberg, Norway, February 1942.

There is not much nightlife in small cities at night. The residents of this city turn off their lights and lie down in bed when the moon just rises, and the streets are very deserted.

Isaac slowly walked towards his goal, which was a seven or eight-meter-high bell tower. At this moment, an old man was planning to close the door of the bell tower.

"Please wait a moment." Isaac yelled. His voice was so loud in this quiet and uninhabited area. The old man immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at the man in front of him from the darkness with some hesitation. young people coming out.

He was wearing a Catholic-style robe, but the color was black. When his bare feet stepped on the ground, there was no stain at all.

"Who are you?" the old man asked doubtfully.

"It doesn't matter who I am, just leave that thing to me. You can't protect it." Isaac squeezed past the old man and walked toward the interior of the clock tower.

A sarcophagus was placed in the center of the lobby. On the surface of the coffin was a human relief sculpture holding a sword in both hands. Isaac looked around and then turned back and asked, "Where did you put that thing?"

"What you can't find...it doesn't belong to anyone." The old man's face was solemn and his expression was very alert.

"It took me a long time to find this place, from ancient books and legends." Isaac stroked the sarcophagus, and he felt that there was nothing he needed in it.

"You should know that you can't protect it, and now Hydera and the others are also looking for this thing."

"That thing doesn't exist."

"Then why did you hide him?" Isaac turned his head and looked at a relief on the wall not far away. It was a giant tree with dense branches and vines.Under the illumination of the candlelight next to it, it looked so sacred.

"I remember that in Nordic mythology there was a tree called 'Yuktrassil'. Its branches formed the entire world, and its three roots extended to 'Asgard', 'Jotunheim' and 'Nif'. Erheim'... This last tree root is entangled with a giant dragon 'Nidhogg' that gnaws day and night. The day it bites off the World Tree will be the Twilight of the Gods."

Isaac looked at the snake wrapped around the tree roots on the far right side of the relief, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of emotion on his face.

smile.

"boom"

The entire World Tree relief suddenly exploded, and a small, square box automatically floated into Isaac's hands. He smiled because that thing was inside.

"They are coming!" The door of the bell tower was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged man wearing a hat and carrying a gun ran in from the outside in a panic. Immediately afterwards, the sound of gunfire roared outside the bell tower. .

Isaac held the box in his hand and rejoiced: "Fortunately, we came one step earlier than the Hydera organization."

"They won't watch you take this thing away." The old man had no intention of stopping Isaac, "This is not a power that mortals can possess."

"Hydra can't stop me, no one can."

The door of the bell tower was smashed open by a heavy excavator with a bang. The flying stones buried the middle-aged man who was standing by the door but had no time to react under the pile of rocks. Not far away, a black car The car drove slowly, with a strange sign on the front of the car.

It was a six-legged octopus with a skull.

"It seems that someone is one step ahead of Hydera." John Schmidt stood on the pile of boulders and looked at Isaac. The box in the other person's hand was very suspicious. If he guessed correctly, it probably contained what he wanted. something.

"You are indeed late, it belongs to me now." Isaac looked at the tall John Schmidt and shook the box in his hand.

"Treasures do not belong to the dead." Without any hesitation, John pulled out a revolver from his waist and shot Isaac in the chest without any hesitation.

"Snapped!"

There was no blood splattering as expected. The bullet penetrated Isaac's chest with a finger-sized bullet hole. A large number of black beetles fell off from his robe, and soon there were many more on the ground. Hundreds of dead black beetle carcasses.

Seeing this scene, John couldn't help but frown. No one could be shot in the heart by a revolver and still survive intact, unless... John suddenly remembered the true purpose of the original establishment of Hydra.

Thousands of years ago, a powerful person with supernatural powers appeared on the earth. This person was later sent to a distant planet far away from the earth for some reasons. The purpose of Hydra's appearance was to make this person Superhumans can return.

At this moment, the Isaac in front of John looked like a person with supernatural powers.

"The Cosmic Cube is the pearl in Odin's treasure house. If you can come here to find it, you should know how much power is hidden in it. Now the entire Norway has been occupied by Germany. With the head of state here, even if you get the Cosmic Cube We can't live without this country." John took back his revolver. Now that the other party was not a normal human being, the gun would not have any deterrent effect.

Since they are all for the Cosmic Cube, if they can become a group of people, then it is not so important in whose hands the Cosmic Cube is. Hydra can recruit any dangerous person to achieve its goal.

"If you want to keep this Rubik's Cube safely, why don't you try to join us?" John said lightly. He reached out and took off a 'Hydra' badge from his collar and threw it to Isaac. If the badge fell to the ground, the outcome would be You can see the difference.

"Snapped"

Isaac still stretched out his hand to catch it. He didn't want to leave Europe yet. At this time in Europe, if you offend Germany, those crazy Nazis will treat you as a defeated enemy.

"Happy cooperation, long live Hydra." John smiled.

Isaac pinned the badge on his chest and said, "Long live Hydra."
