American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

It is precisely because of the limitations of the purely ancient profession of warrior that Josie does not want little Abidis to waste too much time on this relatively tortuous path.

Wouldn't it be great to be a mage like Jaina?

Of course, becoming a dirty priest or paladin like Anduin Wrynn in the future is not out of the question—with the existence of the trading system, the conflict between royal power and divine power that monarchs usually worry about is unlikely to occur in the case of Abidis.

But that's where the problem lies. According to Josie's previous subtle inquiries, the conclusion he reached was that his father did not believe in the Holy Light Cult, but was a staunch supporter of the King's lineage and was not close to the Holy Light Cult in normal times.

Therefore, without a reason, it is not appropriate for Little Abidis to rashly express his desire to learn the methods of Holy Light.

In comparison, magic has far fewer taboos.

only……

"It's not that I don't want to learn, but I only found out a few days ago after asking my father that I was tested by the court mages when I was born. My magical affinity is extremely low, and it's difficult for me to even become a magic apprentice!" Upon hearing Josie mention magic, Abidis immediately looked miserable and complained, "And I went to the mages in my family, and they gave me the same answer."

As a powerful feudal noble family, the Abidis family also hires some mid- to low-ranking mages as family retainers, so there are quite a few mages in the Abidis Count territory.

Hearing what Little Abidis said, Josie was somewhat taken aback. It turned out that magic in Azeroth wasn't something just anyone could learn.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even in the high elf kingdom where magic is prevalent, not just anyone can become a mage, let alone a human.

"What a pity," Josie sighed slightly. He still really hoped he could have a mage trading partner.

"By the way, is there something you wanted to talk to me about? Is there something new and delicious? Or is there a new game?" Little Abidis asked expectantly, his big eyes wide.

“Um…no, it’s just…” Looking at Abidis’s expectant eyes, Josie twitched the corners of her mouth and briefly mentioned the situation she was in, not expecting little Abidis to offer any helpful advice.

“That’s easy, just use a freezing trap or a frost trap, right?” Little Abidis blurted out without hesitation after hearing Josie’s words.

"Hunter's freezing traps and frost traps?" Josie's eyes widened immediately.

"Hunters? How could hunters afford such expensive magical items? Even I've only heard my father say that he used those things when hunting those ferocious magical beasts and trolls; they're alchemical creations of mages." Little Abidis replied blankly when he heard Josie mention hunters.

Clearly, the two were not on the same wavelength at all during their conversation.

The hunter Josie was talking about was a profession in the game, while the hunter that little Abidis thought of was the kind of hunter who lived in the deep forests and mountains.

The former is extraordinary, while the latter is merely a mortal.

In the real world of Azeroth, there is no such class as a hunter—there are only night elf archers, high elf rangers, and dwarf musketeers.

Come to think of it, the hunter class is very popular in the game, with an extremely high population ratio.

However, in reality, the existence of this profession is highly implausible. How can a powerful and reliable wild beast companion be so easily tamed?

Even the most nature-friendly night elves find it difficult to tame powerful beasts at will.

Not to mention the dwarves who love blacksmithing.

The so-called progenitor of hunters, Rexxar, was not a hunter at all, but a warrior with a pet!

But none of that mattered to Josie anymore. What mattered was that he had found a way to deal with the speedsters from Little Abidis.

A precious magical item, it sounds really useful!

Chapter 213 Tiamat

"Great Aristem, I need your guidance!" Within the vast space of consciousness, Ajak said to Aristem with a heavy expression, "Zuk and Golden Hook have disappeared. We can't find them, and we don't know who did it!"

After discovering that Zhuk was missing, Ajak sensed that something was wrong and reconvened all the Eternals.

After gathering the rest of the group, they discovered that not only Zhu Ke had gone missing, but Jin Gou had also disappeared.

Therefore, Icarus and Macari launched another massive search operation worldwide.

In particular, Makari conducted a thorough screening of some of the people he had stolen from, including Josie.

However, after Zhuke was delivered, Zhuke's body and the golden hook were already stored in the system warehouse, and all the loose ends were cleaned up.

Therefore, Macari couldn't find any clues from Josie, and she wasn't a very patient person either. She had stolen from and robbed many mortals, so she didn't bother to monitor their behavior.

Therefore, their extensive search of Earth yielded no useful clues, and they were completely unable to find any trace of the two missing individuals.

Faced with this outcome, Ajak, as the leader, had no choice but to seek help from his superior, the creator of their Eternals—the god Aristem.

“This shouldn’t have happened. The abilities of the ten of you are very well-balanced, and the combined power is extraordinary. In the past millions of years, very few Eternals have sacrificed themselves for missions!” Arithm said after listening to Ajak’s account.

Although, as in countless previous exchanges, Aristom's words were devoid of any emotion.

However, Ajax could still sense the other person's dissatisfaction with her.

"I'm sorry, great Aristam, it's my fault... I caused everyone to separate and live in seclusion among mortals." Ajak could only grit his teeth and take the blame upon himself.

What else could she do? Tell Aristem Sainta that she had the Eternal Demon Syndrome, but then not erase her memories?

Tell Arithm that centuries ago, Zhuk had a falling out with the team, which led to the team's disintegration.

Without a doubt, Arithm, as the judge among the Celestials, is a representative of fairness and justice.

But it is precisely because of fairness and impartiality that there will be no favoritism or pity for Sainta who has problems and Zhuke who has almost "betrayed" her.

Ultimately, the two will likely be completely retrained.

That's not what Ajax wanted to see.

“I will not interfere in this matter, Ajak! This is what you should face, just like you would face the mutants! As long as the divine manifestation can be completed smoothly, all sacrifices will be worthwhile... I don’t want you to bother me with such trivial matters!” Arisham said emotionlessly.

“Yes… I understand!” Ajax said, taking a deep breath in the face of Arithm’s merciless rebuke.

The next moment, space shifted, and Ajax's consciousness returned to reality.

"How is it? What did Arisham say?" Cersei, who had been anxiously watching over Ajax, asked impatiently as he saw Ajax regain consciousness.

The rest of the Eternals were also staring at Ajak.

“Arisham said this is a challenge we must face, just like we faced the mutants back then,” Ajak said with a sigh after glancing at everyone.

They made no mention of Arithm's criticism.

Unlike other Eternals whose memories of previous missions are erased each time they undertake a mission, Ajak, as the leader, retains the memories of countless missions over the past millions of years.

Therefore, she understood very well that they, the Eternals, were merely tools of the Celestials.

Tools, on the other hand, do not need to have their own thoughts.

Once someone develops their own thoughts, they often become the target of destruction.

Over the past few million years, she has seen many of her former companions "destroyed" for making mistakes.

She doesn't want her current companions to encounter the same predicament.

Just wait for the divine manifestation to be completed, then have your memories wiped clean, and have a new life for the next mission. That would be perfect.

As for resistance?

Whenever she thought of Aristom's irresistible power, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

Moreover, the gods are not just one or two, but an enormous group.

Therefore, she never entertained any thought of resistance—as for the child, ignorance is bliss.

Little did he know that everything he experienced had already been meticulously planned, and it was all destined to be in vain.

Ajax kept all these things and his emotions firmly buried deep inside, so no one else noticed anything amiss. Hearing her answer, his disappointment was palpable, but he ultimately said nothing more.

This result was actually within their expectations.

“I’ve said it before, we are all warriors, and we need to solve problems ourselves. We can’t bother Arisem just because we encounter a little difficulty,” Icarus said from the side.

But this is no small difficulty; we have lost two friends and two family members!

Upon hearing Icarus's words, Macari, who had been feeling down since Zhuk's disappearance, rushed excitedly to Icarus and began gesturing wildly.

Upon seeing this, Icarus frowned.

“We know, we know! Macary, as long as we stand together, we will definitely find Zhuke and Golden Hook!” Cersei, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and hugged the somewhat agitated Macary, whispering words of comfort.

“Speaking of which, could it really have been the work of the mutants? Perhaps five centuries ago, we didn’t completely wipe out all the mutants!” Icarus, not in the mood to argue with Makari, turned to the others and asked.

"Impossible! I haven't relaxed my monitoring of Earth all these years, and there's absolutely no sign of any mutant life!" Upon hearing Icarus's words, the fat black man, Faustos, immediately retorted.

As the technological controller of the Eternals, it is his responsibility to monitor the life signs of mutants on Earth.

Icarus's statement about the existence of mutants was tantamount to slapping him in the face.

It's just that Josie wasn't there, otherwise she would have definitely spat all over this fat black guy's face, then dug up the Arctic mutants and threw this fat black guy to feed those guys.

Faced with Faustos's rebuttal, Icarus shrugged, remaining noncommittal.

With his arrogant personality, he didn't get along very well with the few people besides Ajax, Cersei, the Water Sprite, and the Golden Hook, and he disdained to flatter them.

The Eternals parted ways hundreds of years ago, partly due to the dissatisfaction of Zhuke and others with Ajak's control over them, and also partly due to their strained relationship with him.

“Others are also possible. There’s a Kree who came to Earth not long ago, and there are also Inhumans with strange abilities, or invaders from other dimensions. They could all pose a threat to us!” Cersei said when she saw the atmosphere become awkward.

As tools of the gods, and having lived on Earth for over seven thousand years, these Eternals possess a great deal of knowledge about Earth and the various extraordinary and civilized beings beyond it.

For example, Asgard.

When the Frost Giants invaded Earth, they fought alongside the Asgardians led by Odin, making them allies in a way—which is why Randolph knew Ajak and had previously dined with him and Icarus at Ajak's farm.

Because Josie's Uncle Randolph was an elite berserker from Asgard who was sent to Earth on a mission in the 12th century and didn't want to go back to Asgard, so he stayed on Earth and that's how he met these Eternals.

It's just that this character only made very few appearances in the original storyline, in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. storyline, and because of the era, his future identity is different from his present identity, so Josie finds it hard to think in that direction.

However, just because the two sides are allies and Odin and Gilgamesh have a good personal relationship, we shouldn't assume that Asgard and the entire Eternals have a really good relationship.
