Chapter 2059 Building a City Sanctuary Cornerstone

"Here, here, and here..."

Casually calling out a map of a large area, Frank sketched it with his fingers, and then drew a big circle along the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea to the east. It covers most of Central Asia, and almost covers the entire contiguous areas of Europe and Asia.

"Following this direction, I can imitate the temple sanctuary arranged by Kama Taj in the world, and create a similar false sanctuary with the function of exorcism. As long as the devil in this area, if you don't want to If you are purified by the power of the sanctuary, you have to do everything possible to escape from this area."

"Hell, they can't go back. According to current estimates, Dormammu has swallowed the evil spirit hell completely. And even if Dormammu is now in the hands of an unknown existence, it is impossible It's impossible to spit out the whole hell of the evil spirits again. So they are homeless, and in this situation, their only choice is to come to Europe, or go to Asia..."

"Of course, this may cause trouble to some people, but as long as you are prepared, I believe that the remaining scum in hell will not make a difference. And if you think about it in a better way, Central Asia can be rescued It's gone, isn't it!"

After pondering for a while, Ultron was obviously judging the pros and cons. Of course, he quickly came up with a result.

"On the European side, I can set up a line of defense to prevent the entry of those devils. As for the Asian side, I can also contact the Asian countries by notifying the European Union, so as to provide them with some necessary help. You are right, As long as these demons are exposed, they really won't make a big deal. So how do you plan to build your sanctuary specifically?"

Although he knew little about magic, Ultron also knew that magic on such a scale was definitely not something that could be done casually, just by talking about it. If it is said that Frank has the ability to move mountains and seas like the Supreme Mage, then it is another matter, but since he does not have such a level, and at the same time wants to make such a big commotion, the external force required will naturally not be small.

This is probably what he wants from himself, and in this regard, he certainly does not want any omissions.

"Specifically? Then we need too much help."

It is one of the purposes of asking Ultron for help, so since Ultron asked a question, he naturally wanted to ask this question.

"Steel, cement...all infrastructure materials. I need you to use your greatest strength to help me build three cities there. Of course, I won't let you contribute alone. I have given Jarvis an order to let He took out all the resources that Stark Enterprises could mobilize to cooperate with our action."

"According to the technology we currently have, as long as no one interferes, we can build three prototype cities in this area in a month's time at most. And as long as the cities are built If so, then the foundation of the sanctuary will be laid down!"

"Is it necessary?" Even Ultron couldn't help frowning when he heard Frank's plan at first.

He thinks that Frank's doing this is a bit of a laborious effort, a waste of people and money. Because if it's just for building sanctuaries, wouldn't it be enough to just build a few places like military bases or churches? Why do we have to build cities? This is obviously unreasonable.

Moreover, even if it is said that the city must be built, this is not something that can be decided by patting the head.

human city,

Which one has not experienced decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation and changes to have the scale it is today.

The accumulation of resources, manpower and even wealth is not a problem that can be achieved overnight. And if you want to condense this huge number into just one month, even if the expenditure is placed on the financial expenditure of several big countries, it will definitely be a headache.

It’s not that Ultron can’t afford the money. He holds most of the consortium’s resources and the Nanoguard, the money hatching machine that lays golden eggs, in his hands. As long as he grit his teeth and tighten his belt, the money can still be squeezed out.

The main problem is not this kind of expenditure, but what he must do to get the European Union and even several countries in Central Asia to agree to him to do so.

Under the banner of international humanitarian aid? Do not make jokes. Now the whole of Europe is in a mess, and all kinds of reconstruction and restoration work are urgently needed. At this time, if you have such resources and capabilities, you don’t need to restore and build your own territory, but go to your neighbor’s house for humanitarian assistance. Believe it or not, the day after these words were spoken, the people who were still angry could set the government buildings of various countries on fire.

Honestly? The current situation in Europe does not necessarily have such a long-term vision.

For European governments, internal stability is definitely more important than solving external threats. And, the threat hasn't come down to them, it's just bad luck for the next-door neighbor. And in line with the spirit of dead friends never dying poor people, most of them will be watching the excitement.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even these European countries are willing to take a long-term view and start from the overall situation. After agreeing to his assistance to this place, it is still a questionable question whether the regime in control of this area is willing to accept this assistance.

From a rational point of view, they have no reason to refuse. After all, Ultron did this to protect the lives of all people including them. But from another perspective, the construction of a new city is almost inevitable to absorb the surrounding talents, materials and wealth. In other words, if this city wants to grow, it must absorb the blood of this area itself.

And if it is said that this city belongs to them, and they have jurisdiction and governance over these cities, then this is naturally two things. However, the resources were mobilized from Europe, and the construction was carried out by Ultron. You didn't do anything, you just wanted to claim your sovereignty over these cities with a simple move of your butt. It's too disrespectful to other people.

Judging by the consistent behavior of this area, they probably will really have this idea of ​​doves occupying magpies' nests. Just for sure, the EU will never allow such a thing to happen.

It is estimated that strict defense will be strictly guarded from the very beginning, and various regulations will be formulated strictly. Even going one step further, it is not impossible to directly insert the army.

Gossiping? The difference in strength lies here, even if you want to argue, others may not give you this opportunity. Now is not the era when everyone still cared about whether they looked good or not. In the face of real benefits, no one will let you take advantage of it for nothing.

If there is no advantage, it is better to be out of sight and out of mind. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the rulers of this area would rather bear the threat of those devils, and would not want such a city that would weaken their power and violate their interests to appear on their territory.

Of course, you can also ignore them and act unilaterally. Anyway, with their current situation of being too busy to take care of themselves, there is no way to prevent this kind of thing from happening. It's just that this will inevitably come true. After all, if you really want to say something, this is already a violation of a country's sovereignty.

This is a matter of righteousness, and no country in the world, as long as it has a little foresight, will deny this fact. And under the banner of righteousness, the rulers of this area can launch a justifiable war to bring these cities under their command.

If it can be played, it is naturally a lucrative business. But if you can't beat it, then it is naturally a matter of persistent efforts.

In short, once the matter develops to this point, it is basically a matter of internal strife among human beings. And in the current season, no matter it is out of the consideration of the big picture of Hydra, or from Ultron's own selfishness. He didn't want things to turn out like this. Therefore, he obviously showed resistance to Frank's proposal.

"Of course it is necessary."

Frank is very clear about what Ultron is worried about, and what he has to do now is to dispel this scruple.

"I know what you think. It's not surprising that you regard my idea of ​​building a city as extravagant and wasteful. But I think you need to understand that if there is an easier way, I would not choose to do it."

"The Supreme Mage can protect the entire earth with only three temples, because her understanding of magic is unmatched. Just look at the mountains in the western United States that stand up because of her magic. How profound is her attainment in magic, especially earth vein magic. Ordinary people can't match it, including me. At the very least, I can't do that now."

"As for the arrangement of a sanctuary of this level, to a certain extent, the demand for magical power is no lower than that of the Supreme Mage who moved mountains and created huge mountains. If only small No, then even if it is a hundred years, you don't even think about building a sanctuary that can shelter such a huge area. And for a hundred years, we can afford to wait, so can the innocent people in this area wait? up?"

The answer is of course no. In a hundred years, it is estimated that at least two or three generations have been gnawed clean. Of course, it won't take such a long time, there will always be someone free to deal with these devils. But that is the uncertainty of the future after all. Instead of throwing this kind of problem to the future to solve it, why not solve it now while they have the ability to solve it?

Just because of the scruples about the reaction of these human beings in power? Just because of this waste of resources? You know, that is a living life. Shouldn't these things come a little further down the list than the lives of innocent people?

Frank doesn't know what others think, but he has a very clear view of Ultron. Ultron is definitely not the kind of guy who would disregard human life because of this kind of thing. So as long as he grasps this point, he is not afraid that Ultron will not be hooked.

On this point, he expected well, because it was Ultron, so knowing that Frank had set a trap, he still had to bite the bullet and step in.

"Give me a reason why I must do this. If your reason is good enough, I will find a way to solve the troubles that may arise in the middle."

"The reason is simple! I need enough people to provide these sanctuaries with the spirituality to support them."

After understanding the compromise in Ultron's words, Frank immediately came up with the reasons he had compiled.

"I don't have the great ability of the Supreme Mage. She can mobilize the power of the entire planet and support the framework of the sanctuary with the spirituality of the planet's own veins. But I can't. My understanding of the magic of the veins is only enough for me on the veins of the earth." It's just opening a few portals. However, although I can't do the level of the Supreme Mage, it doesn't mean that I can't find another way and use other methods to support the framework needed to create the Sanctuary. And for Therefore, the method I adopt is...using the power of human will."

"Use the power of propaganda and public opinion to let the human beings who guard the threat of the devil in that area know that these three cities will become their only shelter in this land and the only way to protect them from evil. What will they do? If you want to do it, presumably, as long as you don’t have the character of waiting to die, you will definitely move towards these cities with hope. And this hope is what I refer to as the power of will, which is the spiritual foundation that serves as the framework of the sanctuary.”

"They expect to be sheltered here. If it is just one person, the power of this hope is of course insignificant. But if it is thousands, millions of people have the same If they all hope that these cities can become shelters for them, then the aggregate of these wishes will no longer be that insignificant."

"From the perspective of mysticism, the aggregation of this kind of desire already has the possibility of infinite extension. And using this possibility, coupled with my method of transforming the energy produced by human beings into a source of magic power through special means , then all the conditions required for the construction of the sanctuary have been met."

"In other words, only when these cities are established, not only on the land, but also in everyone's heart, can they be regarded as sanctuaries. And if even these If all these conditions cannot be met, expecting to use those small tricks to expel the devils lurking in this thousand-mile land, it would be too little to take them seriously!"

Having said that, Frank also gave a clear explanation for why he is obsessed with building cities. As for this explanation, although Ultron didn't quite believe it, he couldn't come up with any counterexample to veto it. After all, the mystery of magic is not something that can be demonstrated casually.

He didn't have a good way, and he didn't have enough time to demonstrate this kind of thing. So he could only choose to trust Frank.

It's just that he still doesn't quite understand.

"What good is the establishment of these three cities for you? Don't tell me, you only think about the lives of those innocent people!"
