American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

"Please don't be hostile to me, sir. Although this is the first time we meet, I am sure that we have the same goal."

Namor's words made Eric narrow his eyes, "That's strange. What goal do I have?"

"Overthrowing American hegemony... or something like that?"

"...You underwater people know a lot, but I know very little about you."

"If you're willing, I'd be happy to introduce you to the history of my people."

Eric was brainstorming and analyzing the other party's intentions, but he knew too little to support his analysis.

At this time, Namor said again: "We Taloqan are not interested in the world on the ground, but like you, we are determined to resist foreign enemies."

"Oh?" Eric said calmly, "What do you mean? Did you also suffer an invasion from the United States?"

"Those white people haven't discovered us yet, but it's only a matter of time." When he said this, Namor's face suddenly became a little worried.

"Why do you say that?" Eric asked curiously.

Even if America discovered that there were people underwater, or even civilizations, it couldn't just kill them if it wasn't profitable, right?

Asking for flowers

"Because there are also vibranium deposits on the seabed."

"This is impossible!" Eric said in shock.

"Why not?" Namor asked.

"As we all know, all the vibranium on Earth originated from a meteorite that landed in Wakanda."

"You're right, but you've obviously overlooked some details. In fact, the meteorite split into two parts after entering the atmosphere. One part fell into Wakanda, and the other fell into the sea."

Namor smiled: "My people are also mining vibranium now, but we started later than you Wakanda."

Eric understood everything instantly. If Talokan was discovered by America one day, they would certainly discover the existence of vibranium here, and Talokan would most likely encounter the same fate as Wakanda.

If this is true, then Namor came here to request an alliance. The only two countries in the world that have vibranium mines are naturally allies.

Eric was worrying about how to fight this battle, but unexpectedly someone came to his rescue.

But the premise is that everything the other party says is true.

"Prove it to me." Eric said coldly.

Namor thought for a moment, took off a golden armband from his wrist and handed it to Eric.

"This thing is a gift for you."

Eric reached out and took it. If he guessed correctly, this thing should be made of underwater vibranium.

Why do you use such precious things to make jewelry? Can't you use them for proper purposes?

He had a headache.

"Why choose me?"

If Namor's identity is true, then he should talk directly to the king of Wakanda instead of choosing himself. Eric is puzzled by this.

"Your Wakanda's political structure is very unhealthy, sir. I'm afraid even your king would find it difficult to decide this matter."

Although Taloqan is also a tribal form, it is complete and has only one ethnic group, and all the people in the tribe respect Namor as a god.

His orders were absolute in Taloqan, equivalent to divine decree.

"Can I?" Eric asked tentatively.

Namor said nothing as the wings on his ankles flapped, lifting him up.

"Let's stay here for now. Once we have a deeper foundation of trust between us, perhaps you can come to Taloqan as a guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Namor's body jumped back and fell into the water.

Chapter 1019 Looking for the truth

After that night, Namor never came to Wakanda again, but began to frequently send envoys between the two countries.

Since the battle on the border, Wakanda's emphasis on the protective shield has increased by several orders of magnitude, and Eric can no longer find any opportunity to communicate secretly with the outside world.

But Taloqan is clearly not among them.

As an underwater kingdom, the Talocan people travel by waterways. Wakanda's protective shield is not so crazy as to block even the waterways, otherwise there would not be a single living fish in the territory.

Therefore, the secret dealings between the Talokans and Eric did not attract anyone's attention.

From the information exchange between the two sides, Eric has roughly figured out the origins of the Talokan people.

Simply put, similar to the birth of Black Panther, the ancestors of the Talocan people also took plants like heart-shaped grass containing vibranium elements to transform their internal physiology.

They were originally just an unknown small tribe in Central America. No matter from which perspective, even if this tribe moved to live in the water, it was not enough to be compared with Wakanda.

Not to mention forming an alliance with them to fight against the United States.

But Eric did not jump to conclusions. Through his own observations, he found that the Talocans were extremely good at activities in the water. They had the same body shape as normal people, but could swim faster than swordfish.

They also created a peculiar kind of mine, which was small in size but powerful. It sacrificed heat when it exploded but increased the impact force.

If used properly, it might cause some trouble for the United States. The enemy's navy is not as effective as they are on the surface when dealing with underwater targets.

The speed of the torpedoes was not as fast as the speed at which the Talokan's men moved, and the submarine was just a huge target in the water.

I heard that the Talocans have a unique skill of hiding among whales, which can make most sonar radars ineffective.

Eric thought about it carefully and had to admit that naval warfare was Wakanda's shortcoming, and the Talocan could complement them.

But he didn't quite believe Namor's words about the lips and teeth being cold, nor did he believe that he came to help out of sympathy or out of solidarity with the enemy.

This man must be planning something.

But he didn't care. At this stage, Talokan was indeed useful to him, one of which was vibranium and the plants that grew under the influence of vibranium elements.

After the Talocans moved to live underwater, they also developed new underwater planting techniques, including the plants that helped them enter the underwater world.

Like the heart-shaped grass cultivated by the Wakandans, they were cultivated by the Talokans in a natural cave. Eric wanted to get it.

He had long since learned that the most important part of the ritual for ordinary people to transform into black panthers was to drink the juice of the heart-shaped grass. As for sprinkling soil on the body until the person was completely buried, he thought it was just superstition.

The Black Panther Transformation Ceremony was not something he could access at the moment. Eric had originally thought that he would not have the opportunity until he usurped the throne, but now, an opportunity came to him.

He doesn't know yet whether Talokan's plants will have any effect on him, or whether he will be transformed into a black panther or a murloc, but it's worth a try.

When he made this request, Taloqan did not reject it outright, but only said that he needed to consider it.

This is a very good sign.

Just as the outside world was in turmoil, a guest arrived in Wakanda's secret prison.

Yagina used her own authority to sneak into the prison.

As the strongest female warrior in Wakanda, Yagina is a rare talent. She is not satisfied with just being the king's guard, but instead leaves Dora's guard and becomes a super spy.

As someone who has also seen the world, Yagina knows very well how terrible it will be once America starts its war machine, so she is not as optimistic about the war as other people in her tribe.

Moreover, she was suspicious about the cause of this inexplicable war and wanted to find out the reason.

The only person who can answer this question is Captain America, Steve Rogers.

When Yagina arrived at the prison, Steve Rogers was reading.

In this relatively spacious prison, the only things he could do were exercise and reading.

"I've seen you before." Steve's expression was calm at this time. "At the last questioning meeting, I saw you among the guards beside the king."

This surprised Yagina a little, because ordinary white people are usually not able to distinguish the age of the people they meet.

But she saw respect in the other person's eyes.

Would such a person serve as the vanguard of the American invasion? Yagina's suspicions grew even stronger.

"Captain America, I have something to ask you..."

"You can call me Steve or Rogers, ma'am."

"My name is Yagina." Yagina said with a smile.

"Please ask, Yagina, if I can help you."

"What is your purpose for sneaking into Wakanda?"

"As I stated at the inquiry, I was looking for a missing friend. Crow, the smuggler, told me that my friend had come across your Black Panther and may have been captured by you."

"But that's not true." Yagina shook her head. "I also participated in that operation. We only brought back one member of our tribe. Your friend left after a brief battle with the Black Panther."

Steve nodded: "I believe what you say."

He had thought a lot during his time in prison, and now he could basically conclude that he had been plotted against.

Yagina continued to ask, "Did you introduce those American troops?"

When asking this question, Yagina stared closely at Steve's facial expression.

"I can swear on my mother's behalf that my actions were all based on my own will and never involved any government officials."

Steve also answered seriously, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"From what I know, your country is well hidden. Even I had to rely on Crow to lead the way in. How did they know that way?"

He could not receive any information from the outside world in prison.

Yagina paused before speaking, "America claims we are responsible for 4.0's attempt to assassinate the president, and accuses us of collaborating with Hydra..."

Hydra?

Steve suddenly became alert and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

"Is Hydra involved in this?" So is Bucky's disappearance related to them?

Yagina took out a small projector from her tactical bag and projected a picture onto the wall.

"I followed the route indicated in the official US statement and investigated all the surveillance cameras along the way, and finally found traces of the murderer."

The original picture quality was extremely poor and blurry. The picture that is being projected now is the result of Yagina using technology to enhance the picture quality, but it still looks blurry and there is only a back view.

But Steve suddenly felt a shock all over his body. Even though he only saw the back of the person, he recognized him.

"Bucky!".

Chapter 1020 Escape from Wakanda

The name that Steve blurted out made Yagina think she understood something.

"Is this the friend you were talking about?"

Faced with the situation before him, Steve didn't know what to say for a moment.

From this perspective, the reason why Wakanda encountered the disaster today was entirely because of Buggy!

But this was not Bucky's intention, Steve was convinced of it.

Since it was not his own wish, but he still did these things, Steve thought of a possibility.

"Yagina, listen to me, I understand everything now. This is Hydra's conspiracy!"

Yagina saw Steve say this with a firm face. She didn't know whether she should believe him or not. She also didn't know if he did it on purpose. How could everything be related to Hydra?

"Can you first tell me the identity of your friend?"

"of course."

In order to gain Yagina's trust, Steve told her everything about Bucky.

Yagina noticed an important point from this.

"You mean, your friend was brainwashed by Hydra?"

"That's right." This is what Steve wanted to express. He thought Bucky was most likely being controlled again.

"Is there any way to find him? Can 14 break this control?"

"I... don't know." Steve pursed his lips.

It is said that when he saw Bucky, he had already returned to normal, but this was because Dane Davis helped him, and he was not clear about the specific method.

"Then you'd better think of a way to find him and wake him up so that he can help us find out the truth." Yagina said worriedly.
