Marvel's God-level Mage

Chapter 535 Baron IV of Norwich

England, on the north bank of the River Thames, Westminster Abbey, magnificent and solemn.

Under the gloomy sky, from time to time, men and women wearing black suits and black skirts entered the church slowly, with sad and solemn faces.

On the street in the distance, a black Mercedes-Benz parked quietly by the side of the road.

An old man with pale beard and hair got out of the car with the support of the old butler beside him.

However, this old man seemed to be very old, but his physical fitness seemed to be good, his steps were steady, and he walked towards the interior of the church alone with a black cane in his hand. All the other housekeepers and guards were left behind. .

There were not many people queuing up to sign and register, just in twos and threes. After all, it was still some time before the funeral started.

Looking at the tall and solemn church in front of her, the black widow was somewhat surprised that Peggy Carter's funeral was held in Westminster Abbey.

After all, this is the Royal Church of England and the Anglican Chapel. It is the place where successive kings were crowned and royal family members held their weddings.

In fact, few people know that this is also the location of the British State Burial Mausoleum.

Of course, in addition to members of the royal family, many celebrities are also buried in this place, including Newton, Churchill and others, and today, Peggy Carter will also be buried here.

At this moment, a voice came into the ears of the black widow: "Patrick Melrose Norwich IV, Margaret and I are old friends, and the newspaper said that she would go first, so I Come and see him off."

The voice was old and a little weak. An old man who seemed to know that he was not young, this didn't really bother Black Widow. What really caught her attention was the name, Patrick Melrose Norwich IV, Such a name is not something ordinary people can have.

Sure enough, right after, the black-clothed waiter who registered at the side immediately stood up, pointed to the assistant at the side and said, "Your Excellency the Baron, please follow him in. Your seat is a little ahead."

"Okay." The old baron nodded calmly, and was about to follow the attendant's assistant into the church.

At this time, the black widow asked behind her in a low voice: "Captain, do you know the man just now? He turned out to be a friend of Ms. Carter."

Margaret, Margaret Peggy Carter, this is Carter's full name. Although this name has been spread all over the world with newspapers, very few people dare to call it that.

You must know that Peggy Carter is now over 90 years old. People of his age can still walk. In fact, there are very few people. It is really rare to meet one now.

And what really concerns the Black Widow is the age issue. You must know that Peggy Carter is older than her. This means that Peggy Carter's friend is older than her just now, but her spirit looks quite good. good.

"I don't know every friend of Peggy's, but... hello." Rogers, who was a little distracted, suddenly came back, and greeted the black widow's side.

The black widow subconsciously turned around, only to realize that the old man in her words was standing behind her at the moment, and did not enter the church with the attendants.

"Hello, Captain." The old man extended his hand and introduced himself: "I am Patrick Melrose Norwich IV. We met on Christmas Day in 1942, and that time was to celebrate Rommel North Africa. The defeat of the Legion, at the celebratory dinner, we met, and the rest of the Raiders team, I can't believe that after more than 70 years, we can still meet."

Raiders team, what an old and familiar name, few people still remember this name.

Many people think that Captain America Rogers joined the team Roaring Commandos during World War II, but in fact, before that, Rogers also joined a superhero team, the Raiders.

Team members include the original Human Torch, Aquaman Namor, Bucky Barnes, Captain Britain, Wind Speed ​​and some other superheroes.

Even the Canadian Demon team where Wolverine was at the beginning, many people were backup members of this team.

It's just that due to various reasons, the superhero team disbanded.

Even after that, the Allied forces deliberately erased the existence of this name in history, so there are basically few people who still remember this name at this time, and they are all old people who experienced it personally.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Baron." Rogers exchanged greetings, flashing memories in his mind. After all, compared to an old man like Norwich IV, 1942 was not even 10 years past for Rogers. Although he was in a state of slumber for a long time during this period, he did not have the memory of the adult state, which means that his memory jumped directly from 1945 to 2008, so the middle is not that far away for him.

Baron IV of Norwich, it's not difficult to find this name from Rogers' memory, but if Rogers remembers correctly, he actually met this baron several times, but those few times The atmosphere is not very good.

The other party didn't know whether it was because they were old and forgetful, or if they deliberately ignored the past, but the other party didn't mention it, and Rogers would naturally mention it more, especially at this time, they were still attending Peggy Carter's funeral. There is no need to mention those things back then.

Baron Norwich IV looked at Rogers and said enviously: "Look at you, then look at us... Sigh!"

Because the old people don't seem to know what to say, Rogers and 70 years ago are basically the same, but they are all salivating and old, and they will go straight to the grave at some point, the past is unbearable.

"I envy you all. It would be great if I could grow old with you." When Rogers was speaking, his gaze could not help but fall on the portrait of Peggy Carter, with an extremely complicated expression.

If there is a choice, Rogers would rather not have this fantastic experience now, but also grow old with Peggy Carter.

At this time, the voice of the waiter in black interrupted the conversation between the two: "Captain, this way please, Ms. Carter has another explanation."

Peggy Carter must have other last words to Captain America Rogers, which is almost predictable, so after Rogers said sorry, he followed the waiter in black to the back of the church, leaving the Black Widow and Baron Norwich IV walked towards the interior of the church together.

Natasha helped the old man a little bit, until she sat down on the chair in the front row, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.Although this old man looks in good health, but at the age of more than 90 years, who knows that he will fall down if he is not careful.

"Your name is Natasha Romanov, right?" Baron Norwich IV's voice was a bit vague, but even so, the Black Widow still politely admitted when someone called her name: "Yes, you said That's right."

Baron Norwich IV looks older than even his age, but in fact his real age is more than ten years older than Natasha.

But at this time, Baron Norwich IV asked in a somewhat vague voice: "Are you the third-generation black widow?"

Natasha couldn't help being slightly taken aback, because most people knew that she was a black widow, but few people knew that she was not the first generation black widow.

This old man knows a lot, Natasha shook her head slightly, and then said in a low voice: "You are mistaken, I am the second-generation black widow."

"No, the third generation, it's just that the first generation lived too short a time, and the second generation was considered a success. Stalin planned to cultivate the third generation, but in order to avoid letting you know the failure of the first generation, so Only the second generation is counted as the first generation." After the fourth Baron Norwich finished speaking vaguely, as if exhausted, he took a few more breaths, then closed his eyes and took a little rest.

However, this sentence had a great impact on Natasha. This guy named Baron Norwich not only knew her background clearly, but also knew about the Black Widow, the Red House, and many things. very clear.

Sure enough, none of the old monsters from after World War II to today is easy to mess with.

This statement is not false at all, the most intuitive one is the famous Peggy Carter.

Don't look at SHIELD being infiltrated by Hydra, but those are after the death of Howard Stark, after Peggy Carter, Hank Pym and some old people left SHIELD, they gradually It took more than ten years to launch an Alexander Pierce.

But even Alexander Pierce, during his reign, did not dare to do too many actions, the reason is because of the presence of these old guys, even though the power of these old guys in S.H.I.E.L.D. But those people still exist, even more in number than Hydra.

Especially the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, which is regarded as a thorn in the side by Alexander Pierce, where basically all the loyal believers of S.H.I.E.L.D. are cultivated there.

What they believe in is not guys like Alexander Pierce, but the spirit of S.H.I.E.L.D. founded by those old guys like Peggy Carter.

So every year, countless people join S.H.I.E.L.D. from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, but these people just can’t pee in the same pot as Alexander Pierce, Hydra, etc., such as Victoria Hand, Fitz and Simmons.

The impact of these people on S.H.I.E.L.D. not only has internal constraints, but also external disturbances. Not to mention anything else, just look at these people who are now attending Peggy Carter's funeral, including British baron and military The generals, the rich second generation in business, and the senators in politics, these people are connected inside and out, shining on SHIELD and the Avengers like a big net.

Natasha knew in her heart that even with the Tianshield Bureau now, they couldn't get in the way of the superhero agreement at all. One reason was that they were originally a federal agency under the American government. On the one hand, it is natural to be consistent with the federal government, and on the other hand, the relationship between the Sky Shield and the Avengers is an existence of equal cooperation with each other, and there is no relationship of mutual affiliation.

Since there is no relationship of mutual affiliation, although there is no obligation to bear responsibility for each other.

In fact, the Avengers have been able to run rampant in the United States for a long time, which is somewhat due to their good relationship with the White House. To a certain extent, the Avengers received orders directly from the White House.

Despite the fact that they are actually more of a free-running organization, but now, the White House not only wants to incorporate them into a formal federal agency, but also blame themselves for the consequences of what they did before body.

The Kiritas invaded Earth, the Avengers and the Kiritas fought, and in a way it was self-rescue, an Earthling who took a stand against an alien invasion and caused collateral damage, should they be blamed?
This matter really needs to be discussed publicly, and the public can only blame the government for its incompetence. Even if these matters are brought to court, the Avengers are not responsible.

In addition, there is the Sokovia incident. Although many people were homeless, they handled it properly afterwards. Without them, I am afraid that the entire earth would have perished long ago, and others can do better Are they better?
Many of the tasks performed by the Avengers were taken over from the White House and the Sky Shield, but now they want to put all the responsibility on the Avengers. The bad attitude of the White House is already obvious.

"WE ARE..." The funeral began with the holy voice of the children's choir. Under Natasha's surprised eyes, Rogers walked in the front and walked into the coffin, which was Peggy Carter's last wish.

Soon, the family members stood above the church, ready to speak, and this person was the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter.
