I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 489 I Have an Idea

"Don't worry, I don't need to do anything to the little monster. I just need it to help me understand every corner of this house as much as possible."

Seemingly worried that Ailin and Xiaoguai might misunderstand, Baiyan quickly added a sentence after saying what he had just said.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at the little monster peeking out from behind him, then smiled and said, "Then... I'll leave the little monster to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan's face immediately broke into a smile.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Yan took the initiative to say, "We have already brought the materials for building the war fortress from Nidavellir. However, since you, Mage Erin, do not intend to transform the monsters into war fortresses, then after I finish strengthening this mysterious house, let me design a small war fortress to use up the remaining materials, so as not to waste the things that we have worked so hard to transport."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Erin's lips curled up slightly.

Before he could even speak, Bai Yan offered to use the remaining materials to design a small war fortress for him.

That saves him the trouble of asking.

Fregra, standing next to Erin, was even more delighted upon hearing this.

Before Erin could speak, Fregra stepped forward eagerly and said, "Elder Baiyan, if we can provide the materials, could you please refine the design of that war fortress as much as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan laughed loudly, "Of course, no problem. If you can provide sufficient materials, given the kindness that Mage Ailin has shown to our dwarves, I can build you not only a small war fortress, but even a truly large one."

Large war fortress.

Just as Fregra's blood was boiling because of Bai Yan's words, Erin smiled and shook his head: "Forget about large-scale war fortresses. Even if you really come up with the blueprints for a large-scale war fortress, and we can guarantee to provide all the materials, with the manpower you have brought now, it's hard to say how long it would take to build a truly large-scale war fortress."

Erin's words immediately cooled down Fregrana's boiling blood.

After calming down, Fregra had to admit that Erin was right.

Large war fortresses are tempting.

However, if it takes twenty, thirty, or even forty or fifty years to complete, then it will be of no significance to the current predicament faced by the Miracle Group.

Perhaps, before the large war fortresses are even completed, the Miracle Corporation will have already grown into an unshakeable hegemon in this world.

Of course, on a pessimistic note, it's also possible that it will be torn apart and divided up by those menacing wolves.

However, that's not important.

The important thing is that Miracle Group can't wait that long right now.

of course.

Although it is not possible to build a large war fortress in one step.

However, given the vast amount of funds currently controlled by the Miracle Group, they feel there shouldn't be any problem in strengthening that small war fortress as much as possible.

On the other side...

Upon hearing Erin's words, Bai Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

When the dwarves built their war fortresses, they were able to mobilize the entire dwarven kingdom.

Even so, it took several decades from the initial planning and design to completion.

Although the dwarves made technological breakthroughs after that, greatly shortening the time required to build new war fortresses, the complex processes involved were still beyond the capabilities of the hundreds of dwarven craftsmen brought by Baiyan to complete in a short period of time.

After a moment's thought, Bai Yan said, "If we only have the people I brought, it wouldn't be possible to build even a small war fortress in a short time. But we don't have enough manpower, so we still have you, don't we?"

"While Earth's current technology may not be able to directly construct a war fortress, you can certainly hire Earth's craftsmen to handle some simpler tasks! Wouldn't that increase our speed?"

"Although I don't know your status on Earth, Mage Erin, finding some craftsmen to help us build the war fortress shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Finding some people to help the dwarves build a war fortress was no problem for Arryn and his group.

The problem is preventing those people from leaking this information.

However, this problem is not unsolvable.

After exchanging a glance, Erin and Fregra discussed the matter briefly with Bai Yan.

but.

At this moment, his mind was focused on the little monster and the white rock on this strange and mysterious house. After putting forward some general ideas and requirements, he hurriedly ended the conversation.

Even with the help of the little monster, accurately measuring the specific data of a mysterious house whose internal space is tens or hundreds of times larger than its external space is not an easy task.

During this period, Bai Yanke had a lot of work to prepare.

So not long after, she sent Erin and Fregra away, and then, with the help of the little monsters, excitedly began to study the mysterious house with her assistant.

·······

Because he was in the way of the house, he was disliked by Bai Yan.

Erin, who still had a lot of things to take care of, handed over her house to Baiyan and then drove away from Chinatown with Frederick.

After leaving Chinatown, Erin pondered for a moment and then said to Fregra, "Fregra, find a construction team later and have them surround my house with curtains or something under the guise of maintenance and upgrades."

Was this to make it easier for the dwarves to renovate and modify the house later?

Fregra, who instantly understood Erin's meaning, said, "Our group has several such construction teams. I selected these people from among our own staff or their families to form these teams. They were also the ones who completed some of the projects at the branch factory before."

"Although they aren't very capable, they are at least trustworthy. I will personally select some people to surround your house under the guise of renovation."

Upon hearing this, Erin nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit. Besides this matter, you can also start preparing the materials for building the war fortress."

Fregra: "Understood. We recently bought some land to build a new factory, and this is a good excuse to purchase more materials."

"However, if you, BOSS, really intend to place the construction site of the war fortress in Sokovia, then we will have to start planning for that Hydra base that you value."

"Yes, I just checked. The Hydra base was taken down by SHIELD, and Duke was in charge of the operation. If we want to take down that base, we can ask Duke if he has any ideas."

"Or, we could simply use Duke's hidden forces within S.H.I.E.L.D. to take down that previous Hydra base."

Just as Fregra finished speaking, Erin shook his head.

"No, although our people have a lot of influence within S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. is nominally a secret organization under the World Security Council."

"Whether Duke secretly takes over the base with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., or directly puts the base under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s name and then lets our people in S.H.I.E.L.D. take over, there are too many variables involved."

"Once S.H.I.E.L.D. or the World Security Council remembers this base, it will be a problem for us. It's better to take complete control of this base from the beginning."

Should we completely take control of that base?

Upon hearing this, Fregra frowned and began to think of a solution.

If possible, Fregra would certainly like to take complete control of the base that could become their ultimate weapon and headquarters.

But that base used to belong to Hydra.

Moreover, it hasn't even been a few months since S.H.I.E.L.D. raided that base on Hydra.

Time is a sensitive factor.

There might be someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. still eyeing this base, planning to use it as bait.

Taking over that base at this point would inevitably be troublesome.

They might even be labeled as remnants of Hydra.

and many more.

It's not entirely wrong to say they are remnants of Hydra.

Alexander Pierce's Hydra was the most powerful and influential Hydra in the world today.

And after taking over Alexander Pierce's legacy, aren't they, in some people's eyes, just a brand new Hydra?

However, it's the same.

It would be even more troublesome if their connection with Hydra were discovered.

Just as Fregra was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a black figure popped into Erin's mind—no, a black scapegoat.

The next second, Erin said, "I have an idea. Leave this to me. I will handle it myself. You just need to be prepared to take over."

Speaking of the Hydra base in Sokovia.

Two more figures flashed through Erin's mind.

By the way, the Hydra base in Sokovia has been completely wiped out by S.H.I.E.L.D. So how are those two doing now?

Thinking of this, Erin asked Fregra, "Fregra, when you were researching, did you see any records of S.H.I.E.L.D. encountering superhumans when they stormed the Hydra base in Sokovia?"

"Superpowers?"

After recalling for a moment, Fregra shook his head and said, "The information I saw was just a briefing that Law retrieved. I didn't see any record of superpowered individuals in it. However, information about superpowers is usually classified at several levels by S.H.I.E.L.D., so maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. deliberately hid information about superpowered individuals."

"If you want more details, Boss, you can ask Duke. He was in charge of that operation, so he should know quite a bit about it..."

At this point, Fregra paused suddenly, then exclaimed, "By the way, besides Duke, there's another person who definitely knows this very well. He was a firsthand witness to that operation, and he's currently at Miracle Tower. Boss, do you want to go see him?"

"You mean Steve Rogers, right?"

After revealing who that person was, Erin thought for a few seconds and nodded: "But if he's in Miracle Building, then it's certainly worth meeting him."

Besides asking Steve if he saw Wanda and Quicksilver in that battle, I could also ask him what the taste of a witch was like...

cough cough.

No, it should be said that we should try to understand his current state of mind.

More than half an hour later.

Erin then drove into Hell's Kitchen.

As soon as Erin entered Hell's Kitchen, he discovered that Hell's Kitchen had changed drastically from the Hell's Kitchen he had seen before he left.

In addition to the numerous new and renovated buildings, there are also many others.

The garbage and thugs that used to be everywhere in Hell's Kitchen have disappeared, and instead, many new, bustling shops have sprung up on both sides of the street.

Everywhere there was a thriving scene.

While Hell's Kitchen became much cleaner and tidier, it also brought some inexplicable and inexplicable things.

Ok.

That is something called hope.

No one is born wanting to be a bad person, and no one enjoys wallowing in the mud.

Previously, most of the people living in Hell's Kitchen were bent over by various external pressures, and could only live one day at a time, numbly... living.

But now, Erin saw a glimmer of expectation on the faces of the people lining the streets—a hope and anticipation for life and tomorrow.

The Hell's Kitchen at this point is completely unrelated to the Hell's Kitchen that Erin first encountered.

If you don't look closely, apart from the slightly dilapidated buildings on both sides, Hell's Kitchen at this point is not much different from other parts of New York.

In Erin's spiritual vision, the changes in Hell's Kitchen were equally obvious. Even the gloom that had always shrouded Hell's Kitchen was blown away by the new life force.

Fregra, who was in the car, saw Erin notice the crowds on both sides of the street.

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Surprised? If it were a year ago, even if you killed me, I would never have believed that Hell's Kitchen, the most chaotic and crime-ridden place in New York, could have become what it is today."

"Boss, do you know that in the past two months, Hell's Kitchen has stopped being the borough with the highest crime rate in New York? And all of this is thanks to you."

"It is your rules that restrain those who want to commit crimes in Hell's Kitchen. Everyone who wants to commit a crime in Hell's Kitchen will be severely cracked down on by our Miracle Group security forces."

"You brought a stable income to most of the people in Hell's Kitchen, so they no longer had to risk their lives on the edge of crime to earn that meager income."

"It was you who brought stability and order, injecting new blood and energy into Hell's Kitchen."

As he finished speaking, a mischievous smile flashed across Fregra's face.

Then, suddenly pointing to the angelic symbols that seemed to be everywhere on the street, he said, "In addition to your angelic identity, almost everyone in Hell's Kitchen now regards you as the savior sent by God to save them."

"Oh, I misspoke. Most people in Hell's Kitchen don't believe in God; they simply believe in you, the savior who dragged them out of hell."
