"I'm curious about what he did to deserve to be treated like this by you. This is Latovilla!
And I am the king here!"
Dr. Doom's tone was not very good. To be polite, this is not surprising.
After all, Dr. Doom himself is already very powerful, at least there is no need to be afraid of people like Steve and Rumlow.
And now that Dr. Doom has been taught by Rasma, he is certainly a bit more powerful than he was before.
But Steve didn't answer Dr. Doom's words. He was still checking Rumlow's condition.
Steve is not so arrogant that he thinks Dr. Doom is not worth mentioning.
It’s just that Steve is more concerned about Rumlow’s situation than Dr. Doom’s purpose.
No matter what they say, they are still partners who have experienced hardships and battles together. Steve still cares about his partners.
“This guy ran up to me and said ‘Hydra’, whether he is a Hydra or not, this kind of words is a provocation to me.”
Rumlow said seriously.
He just couldn't help but pinch his head while he was talking. It was obvious that his condition had not eased much, and it might have gotten worse.
Dr. Doom was also a little surprised when he saw Rumlow in such a state. After all, he was someone who had dealt with the Nephalem several times.
In his understanding, let alone the Nephalem, even an elite soldier should not behave like Rumlow now.
“Is it the influence of that shameful witness?”
Steve asked tentatively.
He was not quite sure about the correctness of this guess.
According to Steve's opinion, Rumlow can basically be regarded as a legend at this time.
And a legend can't escape the influence of a legendary equipment. Just thinking about it feels wrong.
“Maybe, I feel like you underestimated the power of the three ancestors of the barbarians.
Although you are now a legend, you have to know that the gap between legends may be wider than the gap between humans and dogs. "
After speaking, Rumlow let out a long sigh, as if his condition had recovered a little.
At least his face now no longer has the twitching caused by the discomfort before. , and also put down the hand holding his head.
"Hydra? "
Dr. Doom suddenly became interested in Rumlow's statement.
Latovilla is his country, and he controls almost everything here.
He never thought that Hydra would exist among his subjects.
As for the possibility that the soldier was using Hydra to taunt Rumlow for fun, Dr. Doom didn't believe it at all.
Although there is no guarantee that everyone under his command is a smart person, there is no such thing as a fool looking for a beating.
Even though Latovilla has not been able to completely solve the problem of universal education, there is one thing he is very sure of.
There is no one in Latovilia who would disobey his will!
Under Dr. Doom's strange look, Rumlow still let go of the guy he was pressing to the ground.
Rumlow sighed.
He really couldn't imagine the reason why he would be ridiculed by a Latvian soldier.
If this is not sarcasm, then Dr. Doom's name must be added to the list of people who need to pay attention to this matter.
Although Dr. Doom is not a stingy guy, having a Hydra person appear under his command is not something that should be handled lightly!
Although Dr. Doom still stands on the standpoint of human beings, it does not mean that he will give up pursuing others' offenses against him just because of this standpoint.
Rumlow still knows this very well!
"It should be, I don't think my current strength should be ridiculed by a strange guy.
In this case, I can only think that he is really a Hydra. ”
Rumlow said.
At this time, Steve has also completed his second inspection of Rumlow.
He still didn't find anything, but he was also carefully considering what Rumlow said to him before.
What is the status of the strength of the three barbarian ancestors in the legend?
This is a really good question.
"I'll take care of it, do you need to hear what he's going to say to you?"
Dr. Doom asked Rumlow.
Since Rumlow did not intend to mock him, there was no need for this incident to cause a conflict between him and Rumlow.
Although Rumlow has not yet created a legend of his own, strength cannot be faked after all.
Conflict with Rumlow is not a very meaningful thing, not even beneficial.
"Forget it, I have no interest in Hydra's affairs at all.
But if you plan to cause trouble for Hydra, I hope you can tell me.
Although They are now on the side of mankind, but there are some things that I have no intention of stopping."
Rumlow said.
What he said could be regarded as giving Dr. Doom an explanation, at least in terms of face.
Rumlow has not focused his attention on cleaning up Hydra during this period, largely because Hydra has not caused any trouble during this period.
If they quietly give up making trouble, and then cooperate with mankind as a whole to fight against the threat of the Burning Hell.
Rumlow will not cling to Hydra at this time, but if he has the opportunity to teach those guys a lesson, Rumlow will not pretend that he does not know.
"No problem."
After Dr. Doom said that, he left here directly with the guy on the ground.
He has many ways to torture a person, whether it is body or soul, Dr. Doom has a mature method.
Steve didn't plan to say anything.
He is indeed a good person, but not to the point of being indifferent.
After Dr. Doom left, Steve discussed the previous topic with Rumlow again.
“What is the strength of the three ancestors?”
Steve asked.
"Do you think the strongest among us Nephalem have the strength to defeat an ancestral spirit?"
Rumlow asked.
Although it is somewhat inappropriate to answer the question with a question, this question is still quite weighty.
“I’m not sure, but if it’s Wayne, maybe he has a chance to defeat a certain ancestor?”
Steve asked uncertainly.
"Huh? How long has it been since you took action with all your strength? Or how long has it been since you have been to the secret realm?"
Rumlow felt a little funny.
His luck is much better than Luke's. At least Rumlow can get Tarik's guidance at any time.
He learned a lot of information from Tarik. There was only one reason why he did not tell Luke and Steve this information.
That is, Rumlow promised Tarik that he would not take the initiative to tell Tariq if no one asked.
The first time Rumlow touched the threshold of legend, he went to explore the secret realm. He continued to explore until he really began to feel the threat of death, and then he temporarily stopped this behavior.
After he came out, he asked Tarik how much combat experience he had with the other party.
According to Rumlow's own estimation, this number should be about one-third. After all, he has already touched the threshold of legend.
However, Talik's answer gave him a moment of desperate thoughts.
The answer Tarik gave was a number that he found difficult to accept!
Eight percent!
This completely broke Rumlow's previous good sense of self.
“I’ve been busy cleaning up demons during this time, and it’s true that I haven’t visited the secret realm for a while.”
Steve said with some embarrassment.
"Not only have you not been to the secret realm very often, but you have also barely communicated with your teacher.
You should understand one thing. This is our biggest advantage under the guidance of a teacher!
< br>Stepping into the realm of legend does not mean that we can already walk on the path of our own decision! "
Rumlow said with a bit of bitterness on his face.
Of course it cannot be said that arriving at the Legend is just the beginning, but the location they are in has actually been visited by many Nephalem before. And how could those legends who really left their names and are still talked about today have just passed the threshold of legend?
"I couldn't believe it after I got the answer I wanted, and then I tried to challenge Rasuk at the request of Tarik's ancestor.
Do you want to know the result?"
Rumlow curled his lips and said.
“You lost?”
Steve asked uncertainly.
Rasuk still knows about it, and he is still building equipment on the holy mountain of Harrogas.
Steve would often buy those equipment and give them to SHIELD agents.
In Steve's eyes, Rasuk is a very good blacksmith, and can even forge legendary equipment.
“It’s a terrible loss, Rasuk is a true legend.
And he laughed outright when I asked him how his strength compared with Tarik's ancestors.
Ask me how I came up with such a funny idea!
He said that among the ancestral spirits on the Holy Mountain, he should be the weakest one except for those guys who couldn't even leave their names. "
Rumlow didn't waste any time and gave this answer directly.
After saying this answer, Steve's eyes widened a bit.
Although Rasuk did not explain in detail the gap between his combat power and Talik's, there are many possibilities here.
One is that Rasuk believes that there is no need to answer this question at all.
The other is that Rasuk simply cannot accurately describe the gap between himself and Tarik!
No matter which possibility it is, it is enough to shock Steve!
Steve was speechless for a while.
He didn't know how he should evaluate the news. The news even made his head feel like it was shutting down.
“I suddenly remembered what ancestor Madoc said about Luke at the beginning. He said that Luke would be satisfied if he could achieve one-third of his experience.
< br>If he could get through half of his secret realm, it would be considered that he was a little blind.
Do you think that the legendary ancestor with the title of combat prophet has a big error in his vision? ?"
Rumlow said with a wry smile.
Steve became increasingly silent.
He had never experienced anything like this, and he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
He began to think that Rumlow's words made sense, and that there was too little contact between him and Johanna.
Although he has inherited the name "Johanna", he still only responds to the name "Steve".
Perhaps his awareness is still insufficient?
That's what Steve thought.
“You finally understand something?
If anyone among us can really touch the power of those ancestors, it is probably Thor.
They In the battle that killed Kuangtu Pudge, no matter how many people faced it, no matter how heavy the price they paid, the result was that they won
I think Thor recognized himself more as the God of Thunder. identity, but he should be the one most likely to become stronger
After all, his starting point as a ‘god’ is higher than ours. "
After speaking, Rumlow smiled at himself.
"So have you given up on becoming a stronger existence? "
Steve asked slowly.
"How is that possible? It's just that I realize that the most important thing we should do now is not to blindly explore our own path.
Instead, you should study more carefully. "
Rumlow said.
He understands that it is not that exploring your own path is worthless.
It is that the process of exploring your own path is actually the same as learning. There was no conflict between them.
Perhaps this was also the reason why Tarik and the others did not take the initiative to mention it before being asked.
After all, some things must be experienced by oneself in order to truly appreciate the changes.
Talik and the others should be considered immortals after all. In their eyes, it is not an irreparable regret for their heir to waste a few years doing useless work, right?
As for the young Johanna...she has a teacher!
Maybe she was just teaching Steve the way her teacher did.
It’s just that Rumlow really can’t face what has happened with that kind of relaxed attitude.
He was just an ordinary human being at the beginning, and he was even a bastard who was full of evil.
Although Steve is a good man, it is unlikely that he will understand Tarik's thoughts.
Even if Steve had to talk about his age, he could be considered an old man.
"The things you said have impacted my head to a great extent."
Steve also showed a somewhat bitter smile.
This is not a joke, it is true.
"It's surprising that you can think of this.
It seems that my efforts are not completely worthless."
Mom suddenly sounded next to Rumlow. Kurt's voice and his figure also appeared next to Rumlow.
“Ah, Ancestor Mocott, I almost forgot that you are living in my body.”
Rumlow's voice spoke with respect and surprise.
He really almost forgot that Mocott was beside him.
"Why does your body look so fragile?"
Rumlow asked while transferring his power to Mocott's body.
“The power of the Proof of Shame has grown from the time we became aware of its existence, and only Tarik has not gone to self-destruction until now.
Do you think you are as good as Talik? ”
Mocott’s words were very reserved, but Rumlow still understood what he meant.
It was Mocott who bore the impact of most of the shameful evidence on his behalf. It made him feel unbearable until now.
"Why do you do this? ”
Rumlow’s expression was very serious and bitter.
"Because someone gave me a chance when I made a mistake, but the mistakes I made were different from yours.
I have been waiting for many years to help a barbarian like me get on the right path. .
But it is a pity that no child as stupid as me has ever been born among the barbarians.
And you who appeared on the holy mountain at that time may be the last one before my demise. An opportunity.
So I convinced Tariq to be your guarantee.”
Mocott said expressionlessly, as if this matter was not important at all.
Rumlow touched the Wu Ming hanging around his waist, his expression became more and more weird.
"If you say that, I feel that my sins are getting more and more serious."
Rumlow said.
Steve on the side can only watch now. He really can't find a suitable reason for him to intervene in this conversation.
He never thought that there was such a thing involved in Rumlow becoming a barbarian.
"I don't think it's time for you, Ancestor Mocott, to leave, right?"
Rumlow asked with some worry.
After being affected by the evidence of shame, his character changed a lot.
Although he is not a completely kind being, he is indeed more like a good person.
"I just feel like there's not much time left, and Bulcasso has taken more actions. This is not a good sign."
Mocott said with some hesitation.
He didn’t know if it was appropriate for him to say these words, but he said them anyway. (End of this chapter)
