Chapter 311

Ethan is particularly dissatisfied now, he can't believe that there is no way to change the inherent impression of this group of people.

"Looks like Mr. Senator doesn't take my word for it."

David Brickman showed a very 'friendly' smile, which seemed to be expressing goodwill. In fact, he didn't know how to answer this question. At this time, maintaining a friendly smile was the safest way to deal with it.

Most of the time, the other party will consciously stagger the topic. Unless the other party is dissatisfied with himself, he will rarely seize a problem and not let go.

It's a pity that this trick doesn't work for him today.

In the past, those people asked for him or had a lower status than him. When they saw that he didn't answer, they understood what he meant: they didn't want to get entangled on this topic.

So he tried this trick.

But Ethan was not his subordinate; it was not a politician who came to ask him to do something, and even if he understood what Brickman meant, he was unwilling to do what he meant.

"How do you think Mr. Senator can prove that I am a magician?"

David Brickman understands that there is no getting around the problem. As for how to prove it? In fact, he has no concept. In his impression, magicians are characters that only exist in fictional film and television works and novels. What characteristics of those characters are hard to describe, they can only be simply summarized as having some strange abilities, which are almost non-existent. impossible existence.

Looking left and right, Brickman finally could only say casually: "You said you came from another world?"

"That's right."

"How did you come to this world?" Brickman thought for a while, then chased after: "Have you been to other worlds too?"

"With a special teleportation magic that can break the barriers of the plane."

Ethan thought for a while, in order to strengthen the explanation that his hands were gently spread out, the surging magical energy was like a well-behaved pet, and he was transformed into one ball after another. A unique planetarium, the sight of these energies is much more shocking than what IMAX comes from.

Not only Brickman was stunned, but even Charles and Eric were stunned. As for Mora? She was already terrified.

"Each sphere is likened to a universe. In my eyes, countless universes are displayed in front of me like this. All I have to do is to break the outer protective layer of the sphere and enter the inside."

The scene in front of him is very shocking. It is better to show something special than to say 10,000 words. Although Brickman still doubts that this is just Ethan's mutant ability, he is still willing to continue to listen, not continue. Firmly put it in the ranks of mutants.

He also realized that if Ethan is not a mutant, he is really a magician, does that mean that ordinary people also have the possibility of acquiring special abilities?

Thinking of this, he was not so repulsive to Ethan for constantly stressing that he was not a mutant, and even became very enthusiastic about it.

Ethan briefly introduced the situation of the mage, which proved a guess of Brickman: mage can be cultivated by ordinary people.

It's just that the entry threshold for mages is extremely high, and people without talent are not even qualified to become apprentices.

Of course, Ethan would not kindly tell him that his talent was not good back then. He would only keep raising the threshold. As for whether Brickman could find a good apprentice, Ethan did not care.

He emphasized his identity over and over again, and one of the main reasons was that he didn't want to be tied to mutants.

This is not good for the mutants, or for myself.

Ethan then deliberately showed some of his own spell abilities. Compared with mutants, most of the mutant abilities are relatively simple, and there are almost no multiple abilities. When Ethan keeps showing his abilities, he is also constantly reminding Brickman, he is indeed not a mutant.

He constantly transforms these energies into water, fire and even thunder and lightning. On the surface, he is showing the differences between different worlds, but in essence he is still showing his own abilities.

At the same time, he also explained various explanations with illusions. Brickman has now begun to tend to the one in front of him is indeed a mage, especially if the other party is really like in the novel or movie, he waved his hand gently, and his clothes became a little messy. After returning to a clean look.

This ability does not look like a mutant would have it.

Never before has a mutant possessed so many disparate abilities at once: Apocalypse is still dormant in Egypt.

Brickman slowly came to believe that Ethan wasn't a mutant, and then he realized that he was lucky.

If everything Ethan says is true, it means a lot.

In addition to the fact that ordinary people can also master special powers like mutants, it seems to prove that human beings are not alone in the universe; they even know that there are countless parallel universes.

This means inexhaustible resources, but also possible crises.

Resources and crises can be used as bargaining chips for him to make a fuss, especially the possible existence of these things makes his original plan more feasible.

Brickman wanted to recruit the mutant team because he wanted to use the powerful abilities of mutants such as Charles and Eric to form a special department dedicated to fighting crime, as long as they could keep protecting the ordinary people and America, If you actually do a lot of things, as the driving force behind you, you will have a basic plan.

He can also solve possible mutant crimes, and the reputation he gains will help him go further.

This is not enough, the news that Ethan brings means the existence of countless parallel worlds, and no one can guarantee that a certain world will suddenly launch an invasion against them.

Then the value of a sufficiently powerful armed group will increase significantly, and the mutant troops that he originally planned to recruit seem to be more valued because of this, and he will also get more benefits.

"Is there a person or group that has the ability to break the barriers of the plane and is hostile to other universes?"

Ethan nodded. He didn't say too much. In fact, it was necessary to say too much. Just let them understand that this world with multiple universes is far more dangerous than you think.

In this world where there are no other superheroes and no other superpowers, the X-Men will become their most dependable and powerful team, which can alleviate the conflict between humans and mutants to a certain extent.

Of course, it is difficult to truly let humans fully accept mutants. At present, we can only compromise with each other to a certain extent, and then through the long-term efforts of the X-Men, ordinary people realize that they cannot do whatever they want with mutant abilities, and they must also cooperate with each other. If you accept the control and sanctions of the law like yourself, the hostility of ordinary people to mutants will subside a lot.

It’s just that mutants often lose control of their mutant abilities during adolescence. The harm caused by this loss of control is sometimes too severe to be sentenced for intentional crimes. If this is not solved, it will never truly eliminate ordinary people’s dissatisfaction with mutants.

However, Ethan is not the parent of the mutants, and it is enough to help them here, so Charles and Eric will have a headache for this trouble.

What's more, even if everyone is an ordinary person, the contradictions between various ethnic groups and races are not necessarily few. Do you want complete harmony? That is only possible when an alien invasion brings humanity to the brink of extinction and the old order and ideas are completely destroyed.

The subsequent conversation reverted to Charles and Eric. Ethan has repeatedly stressed that he is not from this world, and even he will leave here soon, it is enough to get information from me, don't expect me to stay Come down and work for you.

Brickman was a very smart man, and he got the point of Ethan and began to shift his focus to the two young mutants.

What's more, Ethan has more or less shown that he has a good relationship with these two people. If the two of them run into trouble in the future, Ethan doesn't mind helping out.

In other words, as long as you make good friends with these two mutants, you will also have a relationship with this mage who can travel through different universes. If it proves that what he said is true, then Brickman does not mind More chips on the two mutants.

Like properly promoting the X-Men's righteous actions, let the world know that there are some powerful mutants who have been working hard to maintain world peace.

These are things that Charles didn't do well before, and Ethan reminded him that a big reason to work with some powerful politicians is for publicity.

There's no way, sometimes it's like this, no matter how much you do, no one knows that you don't do it. And the mutants caused a disaster, and the overwhelming propaganda directly drove the entire race of mutants into the abyss, even if you sent the X-Men to remedy it, it would be of no use.

There are memories of a "previous life" that remind Charles of this, and this time he no longer rejects cooperation with politicians. At least Brickman is very friendly. If there is no accident, they will become partners for a long time.

If it goes well, there is no problem in becoming a long-term strategic partner.

Overall, the meeting went well and several parties achieved their goals.

Brickman has brought his future political bargaining chips. If everything goes well, he can gain prestige and further improve his status. If Ethan is confirmed again, he may even become an indispensable part of the world. important person.

Charles found a collaborator who was quite pleasing to the eye, and the two sides had reached an initial intention. Although the X-Men will lose some freedom when they become official civil servants, it is better than putting out fires all over the place, and countless politicians stabbed themselves crazily.

After they are all from the same camp, they have to have some scruples about stabbing a knife, not to mention that Brickman helps them block the pressure from this aspect.

As for Ethan? He had finally convinced Brickman that he wasn't a mutant... at least on the surface.
