After observing for a moment, Josie quickly noticed that there was a line of letters engraved on the box.
Excalibur? Broken steel?
Josie's expression changed drastically.
Sword of King Arthur?
real or fake?
Given this person's status, surely they wouldn't use counterfeit goods as gifts?
In Celtic mythology, King Arthur possessed two swords throughout his life.
The first one was the famous Sword in the Stone, but it was destroyed during a duel between King Arthur and another Celtic king, King Berlinano, because it violated the code of chivalry.
With Merlin's help, King Arthur obtained a divine sword called Steelbreaker from the Lake Spirit.
In the mirrored space, the Ancient One's expression also showed a hint of surprise when she saw the box.
Clearly, the sheer value of Dracula's gift surprised even her.
I'll post a portion first, more tonight.
Chapter 184 The deal is concluded
"Josh, what brings you here so late?" About half an hour later, Marwell was invited to Josh's study.
"It's really nothing big, it's just that a friend of mine wants to hitch a ride!" Josie said frankly.
"Ride-sharing? You mean?" Marwell frowned immediately upon hearing this.
"It's just like you think. He wants to board your spaceship and leave Earth. If it's convenient, it would be best to send him to a neutral place—a nova, a land of nothingness, or anything like that," Josie said, shrugging.
“Josie, I’ve said it many times…” Marwell said impatiently.
“Don’t rush to refuse, Mar-Vell. My friend is no ordinary person. You don’t need to treat him like a human being. He doesn’t represent the Earth, nor does he represent humanity.” Josie raised her hand to stop Mar-Vell and said, “At the same time, I will tell you a very important secret as the price for taking him.”
"Secrets? Don't be ridiculous, Josie, I'm not interested in your Earthling secrets!" Mar-Vell scoffed.
“That’s right, Earthlings’ secrets are no secret to you, but what if this secret is related to your Kree Empire?” Josie said with a smile.
"...It has something to do with us? How is that possible?" Marwell frowned.
“Nothing is impossible. If I’m not mistaken, there must be some information about our Earth in the official records of your Kree Empire, although it won’t be very detailed, but it definitely will be there, right?” Josie countered.
“…That’s right, Earth is indeed on the star map, specifically planet C-53, though it’s just a few words on it.” Marwell nodded without refuting it; it was a fact.
“Then you should understand that since you have records of Earth, it can only mean one thing: you Kree people have been to Earth, haven’t you?” Josie asked with a smile.
“That’s right, but… the information about Earth on this star map was updated more than 5,000 years ago… the secret you’re talking about, could it be a secret from that time?” Marwell looked incredulous.
Josie shrugged and didn't say anything.
“…Okay, I agree, as long as the secret you tell is valuable enough!” Seeing Josie’s expression, Marwell gritted his teeth and agreed.
It's just sending someone away, it's not a big deal.
“There’s a city on the moon!” Josie exclaimed.
“That’s impossible. I scanned the Earth when I came here, and there was absolutely no sign of life or man-made facilities there… Wait, you mean, it’s a Kree city?” Marwell was initially very certain, but he quickly realized what was going on.
That's right. If it were human technology, any signs of activity on the moon would indeed be impossible to avoid the Kree's scanning technology.
But what if that was originally Kerry's technology?
Mar-Vell's own spaceship has stealth technology. If the city Josie mentioned was indeed built by the Kree, then it would make perfect sense that it possesses similar stealth technology and cannot be detected by her.
“…But that doesn’t make sense. More than five thousand years have passed. Is that city still functioning? And how do you know about its existence?” Marwell was very puzzled.
“You don’t need to know how I know this. All you need to know is that it used to be an outpost of your Inhumans, and the reason it’s still operational is because it’s inhabited by a group of people who aren’t your Kree, and they can’t even be considered human. They are a group of freaks created by your Inhumans using genetic technology!” Without a doubt, the city Josie was referring to was Attilan, the Inhumans’ capital city on the moon.
In the comics, Attilan is a mobile city built by the Inhumans using Kree technology.
However, according to the information released in the MCU (Inhumans series), Attilan was originally a research outpost built by the Kree and converted into a modern-day site after the Inhumans drove out the Kree.
Regardless of the type, it is certain that Attilan's technology was based on Kree technology.
Don't be surprised that the Kree Empire, which was so powerful, was driven away by its own experimental subjects.
That's because, according to MCU data, those who came to Earth to conduct biochemical experiments and create the Inhumans were only a small number of radicals within the Kree Empire.
After the Kree Empire's higher-ups discovered their actions, the Inhuman program was halted, and most of the Inhumans were hunted down and brought back. In the end, only two Kree remained in the solar system... That's why the Inhumans were able to drive these two away under the guidance of that Hive, and these two Kree may not have even returned to the Kree Empire.
And don't say that Josie betrayed her own kind.
The premise of being of the same ethnicity is mutual recognition in many aspects.
If they are superhumans like Jia Ying, who grew up on Earth, then Josie would be willing to accept them, and most of them would also acknowledge their human identity.
However, the question of the Others of Attilan is not whether humans on Earth are willing to accept them, but whether they acknowledge that they and humans are a single race.
Although biologically they share the same origin, the Inhumans simply have a few more foreign genes.
However, as the Kree's experimental subjects, the Inhumans' civilization started thousands of years earlier than that of ordinary humans. Coupled with their genetic uniqueness, the Inhumans considered themselves superior to humans from the very beginning of their civilization and therefore disdained to associate with humans.
Therefore, they preferred to live their quiet lives behind closed doors in Attilan rather than have any contact with humans.
Any Inhuman who identifies as human, even if they rule the Earth by force.
Human civilization may have already left Earth thousands of years ago.
Furthermore, when Earth faced various crises, did the Inhumans ever contribute anything?
It was only in Black Bolt's generation that, because Attilan was destroyed, they had no choice but to return to human society (the final episode of the TV series Inhumans).
As for now, that Black Bolt probably hasn't even been born yet (1982).
That's why Josie felt no psychological pressure when selling the Inhumans. Moreover, Josie wasn't sure if the Kree Empire's higher-ups were interested in this news, since it originally belonged to them and they had abandoned it thousands of years ago. The possibility of them being interested in it thousands of years later was very small.
Even if they were interested, they would most likely just send out a space force or something similar to "eliminate" Attilan, and it's unlikely they would target Earth. If they did, Josie wouldn't be worried.
After all, Attilan is not under the protection of the Ancient One or Asgard.
But Earth, you Kree, give it a try!
The Ancient One didn't appear in the Captain Marvel movie simply because she knew Carol Danvers was there, so it didn't matter whether she intervened or not.
But without Captain Marvel, Josie didn't believe she could sit still.
Inside the mirror space, a bald woman with a penchant for peeping watched as Josie sold off Attilan without hesitation, leaving her speechless.
Although this person represents the future of their universe, this capitalist's personality is even more vampire-like than a vampire's. It's hard to say whether it's right or wrong to place the hopes of their universe on this person.
In contrast, Marwell was completely unaware of all the twists and turns involved. Upon learning this secret, she felt like a cat's claws were pawing at her heart, wishing she could go to the moon right now to find out for herself.
"Get me a plane immediately and send me back to New Mexico. I need to go to the moon to verify what you're saying. If it's true, I'll agree to your terms!" Marwell said decisively.
Her shuttle is hidden in New Mexico, while her spaceship is concealed in outer space, so she has to return to New Mexico before she can return to her spaceship.
As for flying directly out of the atmosphere using physical strength, that's something even Thanos couldn't do—although physical strength can allow one to roam the universe, just like Groudon in Pokémon, Thanos in the MCU can't fly.
Not only him, but Thor can't actually fly without his hammer and axe... he can just jump a little higher.
“No problem, I’ll have someone prepare right away. But you have to be careful not to get discovered by those people in Attilan!” Josie reminded him as she picked up the phone.
"Don't worry, I won't let that happen!" Marwell shook his head and said.
As elite Kree warriors, they are naturally very familiar with their own technology.
The reason she couldn't scan it before was because she didn't know or expect that her own technology would exist there.
However, knowing that a city exists there, she has countless ways to probe the area without being detected.
Chapter 185 Steve, why is there green light coming from your head?
Marwell acted swiftly, taking a plane back to the United States overnight.
Thanks to Josie's advance arrangements and the speed of the Boeing 707, Marwell arrived in New Mexico in just 7 hours.
She found her hidden shuttle on Earth, traveled to the moon for reconnaissance, and then returned directly to Austria, all in less than two hours.
I left Vienna at 10 p.m. and returned to Neuschwanstein Castle at 7 a.m. the next morning, just in time for breakfast.
Because they arrived in Austria by cruise ship, there was no need to adjust to the time difference. Apart from the two children, almost everyone was already up by 7 a.m. - except for a few special cases, Josie has maintained extremely good living habits since she traveled through time.
“I’ve confirmed it, what you said is true!” Seeing everyone having breakfast in the restaurant, Marwell didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Before the servants could serve the food, he picked up a large baguette from the food cart and started munching on it while muttering to Josie.
Although baguettes are known as the ultimate weapon in the food world, freshly baked baguettes are actually quite fragrant and soft, and Josie still likes them.
"What? Didn't your family say anything?" Josie asked with a smile.
“I told them, they think what’s lost is lost, and there’s no need to try to find it. But it’s not good if an outsider gets it either. They told me to handle it myself, if I can solve it, I will, if I can’t, I’ll just pretend I never found it. There are too many things to do at home right now, and I don’t have the energy to send someone to deal with these relics from the old era!” Marwell shook his head helplessly.
Josie immediately understood. At this time, the Kree Empire was still engaged in a two-front war with the Skrull Empire and the Nova Empire, and the even more powerful Shi'ar Empire was also watching with predatory eyes. Therefore, the Kree leadership simply did not have the energy to deal with such a small matter on remote Earth and could only leave the problem here to Mar-Vell to handle.
However, the fact that the Kree sent Mar-Vell, a semi-scientific reserve combatant, to carry out a pursuit mission shows that the Kree Empire is indeed short-handed.
The brief exchange between the two left Carter and Margot, who were standing nearby, completely bewildered.
However, one can vaguely guess that it is related to Marville's civilization.
"So what are you going to do?" Josie asked.
“Doing nothing, even though we’ve confirmed they’re there, isn’t the right thing to do without inside intelligence!” Marville shook his head.
