Magic Journey from Hogwarts

"What is this?" Thor took the photo and pointed at the pattern on Ulysses' neck and asked.

"That's a tattoo. It didn't seem to be there before."

"No." Thor pointed to the burnt red patterns that were clearly distinguishable from the black tattoos. "Those are tattoos. This is a brand."

"Let's check it first." Banner input the brand on Ulysses' neck into the computer, and the database quickly gave feedback.

"The brand is an indigenous African word that means 'thief' and is very insulting."

"What Aboriginal language?" Steve asked.

"Wakanda, no, Wakanda."

Tony's expression changed, and he looked at Steve reluctantly, "If this guy brought something out from Wakanda..."

Steve seemed to have thought of something, "I remember your father said he bought them all out."

"I don't understand, what did he take from Wakanda?"

Tony glanced at Steve's shield, "The strongest metal in the world."

"Where is he now?"

......

The huge port of Salwa, on the African coast.

Aaron drove the motorcycle down from the sky and stopped where the road was slightly drier and thicker.

He looked down at the compass and saw that the needle was pointing to the Churchill Britannic, a rather dilapidated-looking ship anchored off the coast.

"How did you get here? It was so hard for me to find you!" Aaron released Abei from the bag, gently rubbed its dragon head and said, "I'll rely on you later. Try to make a good impression on the other party."

"Master, is it really necessary?" Abei said resentfully.

“I can’t help it. The person I have to protect and take care of is a cynical woman with super powers!

Going to an orphanage to adopt a child is like drawing on a blank sheet of paper, but she...I'm afraid she has to make some correct changes to the already formed painting, which is not an easy task."

"But master..." Abei sniffed his nose, looked at the huge ship below and said hesitantly: "There are many people and weapons on that ship.

If you go find her, a fight is inevitable."

Aaron was stunned for a moment, “You have a point, the first formal meeting shouldn’t be so chaotic and dangerous.

Let’s wait a little longer! Wait until they come out.”

Just then a dark shadow appeared on the horizon and approached them rapidly.

"Owner."

"I saw it." Aaron sighed speechlessly, "Life is unpredictable. We have to get on this ship."

The Quinjet landed and the gangway was slowly lowered.

The fully armed Avengers got off the plane and looked at Aaron holding Abe and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Coincidence, pure coincidence." Aaron said with a dry laugh, "It's not even this coincidental."

"It's not a coincidence." Banner shook his head. "You may not believe it, but the two Maximoffs are probably already working with Ultron. If nothing unexpected happens, they are on that ship."

"Gift crab!"

"Don't say bad words."

"Stark, stop holding on to this, that's enough." Steve said speechlessly, "Banner, you guard the plane, and the others go talk to Ulysses. No matter what, we can't let Ultron take the things away."

"what?"

"Vanadium alloy, the hardest metal in the world."

Click! Click!

Aaron blinked, and a hint of intriguing arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Which ship has such good stuff?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but Ulysses is definitely there." Tony said, "The person you are looking for is also in there, and you will go there too, right!"

"if not?"

......

At the same time, inside the ship, dozens of workers were working hard under not-so-bright lights, with various machines running non-stop, producing batch after batch of weapon parts.

Ulysses Klaue stood in the office above, overseeing the production of weapons while haggling with customers on the phone.

“Don’t tell me you were cheated by your men. I gave you six short-range heat-sensing missiles, and you gave me a shipload of scrap metal.

You must compensate me, or the next missile I provide will fly straight over there."

After saying that, Ulysses hung up the phone and called someone else.

This time his tone was no longer aggressive, but more polite. "Okay, Minister, where were we?"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire ship's power system was paralyzed.

The workers below were arguing noisily, and Ulysses Klaue instinctively felt something was wrong and carefully picked up his pistol.

He fired a tentative shot at the door, but as soon as he pulled the trigger, an invisible force pushed him and made him stagger.

When he came to his senses, there were two more people in the room, and all the bullets in his gun were neatly placed on the table.

"Superpowers." Ulysses obviously knew Pietro and Wanda. "Strucker's masterpiece."

He sat down nonchalantly and took out a plate of candy from the table. "Want some candy?"

“It’s a shame that Strucker died, but he knew what he wanted to make of the world.

Humans! There is no future for you." Ulysses said, noticing the confusion and bewilderment on the twins' faces, "You... don't know?

Is this the first time you've threatened someone? I'm afraid I'm not that scared."

"Everyone has something they're afraid of," Wanda said.

"For example, squids." Ulysses interrupted in agreement, "deep-sea animals that glow, psychedelic lights...confuse their prey, and then...

I saw a documentary about it and it was horrible.”

Swish!

Pietro picked up a piece of chocolate from the table at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, put it in his mouth and began to chew.

Ulysses was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wanda, “If you want to tinker with my consciousness and make me see a big squid, I will know that you are not here to do business.

I also know that you don’t have the final say, and I only deal with people who have the final say.”

As he said this, Ulysses stood up, not noticing Ultron flying over to the window.

boom!

The window shattered and Ulysses was violently pushed out the door.

Ultron walked out of the room with his back bent, looking down at Ulysses who was lying on the ground, "The one who has the final say is not a human being, let's talk business!"

Ulysses has been in the arms industry for so long, so he naturally knows when to be tough and when to be soft.

He very straightforwardly ordered his men to take Ultron and the two Maximoffs to the warehouse. The elevator filled with toxic waste slowly descended, and a clean and narrow elevator room appeared.

More than a dozen glass containers as thick as arms are neatly arranged in the elevator. Through the transparent surface, one can see the silver-black substance inside emitting a faint blue glow.

Ulysses pulled out one of the sticks and said with some emotion, “On this rock I build my church.”

"Vanadium alloy." Ulysses threw the container to Ultron, and then subconsciously touched the mark on his neck, "Let me tell you, this thing is made of the most valuable material, worth billions."

“Hahahaha…” Ultron laughed nonchalantly, closed his eyes for two seconds and then opened them, “I’ve already called you. It’s in the account of your virtual company.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ulysses received a series of transfer text messages from the World Bank, the smallest amount being in billions.

"There are so many tricks in the financial world, but I always say that we should make friends and enemies rich together, and then we will naturally distinguish between friends and enemies."

Hearing this, Ulysses came back to his senses, looked at Ultron in a daze, and said the name that Ultron was most reluctant to hear, "Stark."

"what?"

"Tony Stark said this to me.

You are his subordinate."

"What? I'm not..." Ultron was furious and grabbed one of Ulysses' arms, saying viciously, "I'm not."

Seeing this, Ulysses' men subconsciously took out their pistols, but were forcibly controlled by Wanda and could not move.

"Do you think I'm Stark's puppet? Do I obey his orders?

Look at me, do I look like Iron Man? What is Stark? "Ultron angrily swung his right hand and cut off Ulysses' left forearm.

Ah!

Ulysses screamed in pain and took a few steps back in a daze.

He looked at his arm that had fallen to the ground in confusion, unable to believe that this was real.

The business was clearly going well, why did it suddenly turn out like this? Just because of the mention of Tony Stark? But even if you are angry, you can't just chop off his arm without knowing the truth!

This robot turns hostile without any reason at all!

Pietro and Wanda were also shocked by this scene. Although they were beyond the scope of ordinary people, this was the first time they had seen this scene up close.

"I'm so sorry, I...

It will be fine in a moment, I'm so sorry." Ultron's tone slowed down a little, and then gradually exploded, "I just don't understand why you mentioned Stark to me."

After saying that, Ultron kicked Ulysses down the stairs, and his men hurriedly chased after him.

"He is a pain in my...heart. Stark makes me sick."

"Oh! Kid, you broke your dad's heart." Tony descended from the sky in armor, followed by Steve and Thor, while Natasha and Barton approached quietly from the next floor.

In addition to them, Aaron also followed reluctantly.

"You asked for it too."

"No one should break anything," said Thor.

"Then what's your hammer for?" Ultron sneered.

"I let him speak first."

"That's really humorous, Mr. Stark." Pietro stood up and looked at the shells in the boxes downstairs. He said meaningfully, "How is it? Does it feel familiar here, just like the old days?"

"I've never been like this before."

"There's no need for you two to get involved in this mess," said Steve.

"Yes, that's not necessary." Aaron glanced at Pietro and Wanda several times with a thoughtful look, "Although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, I still want to give it a try. You two can come with me.

The fight between Ultron and the Avengers is their business, there is no need for you to get involved.

If you fail, you will lose a lot, but if you succeed, you will lose nothing. You will not gain anything regardless of success or failure.

Believe me, take a step back and you will have a bright future. "

"Who are you?" Pietro looked at Aaron in confusion and asked, "If you're not an Avenger, why are you here? Or are you a candidate member?"

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Aaron Gaius.

I am not a candidate member of the Avengers, I am just an ordinary fortune teller."

"Then stop getting in the way."

“I didn’t want to come, but... fate led me to this point, so I had to come.

Ultron is not a good guy. He is more dangerous and more terrifying than you think.

Come with me, I promise on my life that I will protect you."

"You?" Pietro sneered disdainfully, "We don't even know you. What you said is not attractive at all."

"That's not a problem." Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully, "What do you want in exchange for ending your cooperation with Ultron?"

"Revenge." Wanda smiled faintly and said, "Revenge against the Avengers, against Tony Stark."

"I don't remember ever offending you." Tony said immediately. He would never take the blame for something that didn't belong to him.

"Come on, Stark," Ultron sneered, "Do you know what impressed them the most?

A shell, a Stark Industries shell, destroyed their family, killed their parents, and left them orphans, who spent two desperate days in fear among the ruins.

"Ah this..." Tony was speechless for a moment.

"Tony Stark does have some responsibility, but not all of it," Aaron said. "There are so many people who sold the weapons, even if Tony Stark wasn't there, there would be others.

Your hatred for Stark is just a meaningless venting of emotion."

“It was meaningless before, but it’s different now.” Wanda opened her right hand, red energy lingering around her fingertips, exuding a unique charm.

"Thanks, buddy." Tony said gratefully, then changed the subject, "But you can see the situation. You can't convince them."

"Wait, I'll say a few more words, just two." Aaron waved his hand and continued to look at the two of them and said, "Your goal is to attack the Avengers, so it shouldn't implicate other people, right?"

"We have no grudges against others, why should we involve them?" Pietro said impatiently.

"Then do you know that Ultron's goal is to destroy the world?" Aaron dropped a bombshell directly, causing Pietro and Wanda to frown.

"What did you say?" Pietro asked incredulously.

“Ultron is an artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark for peace, but he has his own ideas, and in his opinion, destroying humanity is the only way to achieve peace.

The Avengers is the biggest stumbling block for him to realize this dream. Are you sure you still want to help him?"

"Really?" Wanda looked at Ultron warily, "You want to destroy humanity?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Ultron denied it immediately. He still needed the twins' abilities before he could achieve his goal, so he naturally wouldn't push them away.

"Stark created me to protect peace. Besides, do you think I have the ability to destroy humanity?"

Pietro and Wanda looked at each other, not knowing who to believe.

"I'm a fortune teller." Aaron said solemnly, "I have my professional ethics. The future I predicted is that Ultron will create a doomsday disaster that will destroy the world, and all life will be hard to escape."
