1216 Leah's Tavern

Nick Fury didn't go anywhere else after leaving Leoric.

It's not worth worrying about his temporary stay in Canduras.

SHIELD can operate normally even without Nick Fury.

Although Tyrael's presence has caused SHIELD's staff to be mobilized more frequently.

"I need more time to understand what happened in Canduras now. A lot of changes have taken place here.

Some things can only be accurately judged after I see them in person."

Nick Fury said to the phone.

The other end of the phone was Dugan, although Dugan is basically out of the leadership of SHIELD now.

But his opinion is still crucial.

After the Hydra incident, SHIELD's internal orders have been encrypted.

And Dugan, who can never become Hydra, is one of the encryption methods!

If the situation deteriorates, Dugan can also take over SHIELD directly.

The reason for SHIELD's existence is to protect humans, and since it is a shield, someone must hold it.

As for who is the person who controls SHIELD, it is not so important, as long as he stands firmly on the side of humans.

Whether it is Tony, Norman Osborn, or even Dr. Doom, as long as they stand on the side of humans when needed, they may become the one who controls SHIELD.

Nick Fury has already made arrangements for what will happen next.

The current situation is not too bad for them, but they still know how to do it in advance.

"Do you need to continue the infiltration of the army?

You sent a large number of soldiers who could become excellent agents back to the army. Isn't it for the purpose of getting control of the army at this time?"

Nick Fury heard Dugan's complaints on the other end of the phone.

At that time, Dugan was still the chief instructor of SHIELD agents. At that time, many people recognized by Dugan were sent back to where they came from by Nick Fury.

At that time, Dugan thought that those people had some problems and were not accepted into SHIELD.

Now it seems that those people may have been members of SHIELD at that time, and they were going to perform some tasks assigned by Nick Fury.

Dugan only realized this after the military doctor under General Ross's command revealed his identity.

At this time, Dugan didn't have much opinion on Nick Fury, although this approach was a bit scary.

"I am a guy with a strong desire for control, although I can't guarantee that everything is under my control.

But it's not without benefits for me to do this, right?"

Nick Fury said with a smile.

As for whether there is bitterness in his smile and laughter, only he knows.

Although he lost one eye, it was not because he believed in others, but because he believed too much in his affinity.

But he did pay the price for trusting others.

"Okay, I don't have time to chat with you!

There is only one possibility for you to contact me, that is, there is another mission.

Tell me, what do you need me, an old guy, to do?"

Dugan's voice was very impatient, and he still couldn't treat Nick Fury as his friend.

This guy is not a bastard who can be a friend.

Perhaps Frank is the only one who regards Nick Fury as a friend so far.

"Go check on Task Force X. I think something might be wrong there."

Nick Fury's request was very vague, and there wasn't even any specific arrangement!

And this was enough for Dugan to understand what he meant.

"Amanda Waller? Indeed, that guy is as ruthless as you."

Dugan sneered and hung up the phone.

He would do it, but Dugan would also keep an eye on Nick Fury himself!

Nick Fury made more than one preparation for his possible corruption!

Agent Hill, Dugan, and many others were his chosen people.

When there was anything wrong with him, these people could directly attack him.

Of course, this also represented a huge risk. Once any of these people had other ideas, his safety could not be guaranteed!

So Nick Fury also made some other insurances.

For example, let these people keep an eye on each other. Once he died in the hands of someone, the investigation of them would become complicated and even continue!

This approach was indeed a bit dirty, but Nick Fury thought it was necessary.

All for the sake of mankind to continue to exist in the dangerous world in the future, or to perish with the enemy when there is still strength left!

Nick Fury is great, but he is also the kind of guy who makes people hate him.

Nick Fury looked around and lay directly on the bed.

He needs to see Aidan later.

Aidan's status in Canduras is transcendent, which Nick Fury has already understood.

But Nick Fury still needs to confirm one thing, that is, whose words are most effective in Canduras!

Although all the performances show that Leoric is undoubtedly the king of Canduras!

But according to the strength of individual strength, Nick Fury does not think that a legendary crusader like Johanna will cooperate with Leoric!

It is not enough for Leoric to show enough strength to make Johanna compromise to a certain extent!

So Nick Fury naturally thought of Aidan's existence!

...

Aidan is now in Leah's tavern.

He came here without any purpose, just to meet Leah.

They are father and daughter, but they are not very familiar with each other!

Although Leah had heard many stories about her father from Deckard Cain, they were just stories!

"Aidan, you have been here for a while. What do you want to do?"

Gluchak asked somewhat impolitely.

Gluchak certainly does not need to worry about Aidan's strength.

Although Aidan is indeed very strong, Gluchak does not think he is weak.

Aidan has a taste of authority, and this kind of thing cannot be hidden from Gluchak.

Although Gluchak cannot be sure what kind of authority it is when Aidan does not use authority, it does not prevent Gluchak from being vigilant.

It's not that Aidan doesn't have any hidden dangers!

Although Aidan was very great back then, he should be respected by the Nephalem!

But the Nephalem can't ignore the fact that Aidan is gradually corrupted!

"I just came here to drink, and I paid enough for the wine.

Gluchak, I just want to stay here and see Leah."

Aidan's expression was a mixture of self-mockery and compassion.

Gluchak could only shut up!

He couldn't stop a father from wanting to see his daughter.

He wasn't that boring and cruel.

"You are dangerous, I can't just ignore it.

In addition to being a free individual, Leah's existence is still of great significance to the Nephalem!

And Leah has the blood of the Stag Tribe flowing in her body!

I can't pretend that I don't know anything!"

Gluchak said a lot of words, but it was more like finding an excuse for him!

Does anyone in the Nephalem hate Leah?

Probably not!

If Leah did anything wrong in the past, it was probably because she didn't have enough strength!

If Leah had the same strength as Aidan when she was taken away by Adria!

Then Diablo might not be able to steal Leah's body at all!

Being weak is not a crime!

"Yes, Leah is a barbarian now.

I know you gave Leah a chance to start over, and I am very grateful for that.

So I didn't make any inappropriate requests, I just came here as a guest to have a few drinks."

Aidan spread his hands, and it can be seen that he is a little embarrassed now.

"Aidan, my father.

I still don't know how to face you now, but if you are a guest, I am happy to entertain you.

It's just that the current situation doesn't seem to be suitable for idleness. The pressure of the demons is much greater than when they were in the Sanctuary."

Leah's tone was as calm as possible.

But you can still hear the trembling in it.

Leah is also worried about how to contact Aidan!

When the angel Aidan appeared, Leah did have a lot of expectations for her "father".

However, with the almost alienated attitude of the angel Aidan, Leah gradually let go of this expectation.

After all, compared to Aidan, Bul-Kathos may be more in line with Leah's understanding of "father".

At least Bul-Kathos took good care of her when she was adventuring in Sanctuary.

It can even be said to be accommodating!

"As long as it's like this, the situation on the demon side is not clear yet.

But I believe that humans will still be the winners this time."

Aidan's words were full of strong confidence!

He didn't think he was lying!

The belief that humans must win has long been deeply rooted in his heart!

Although he himself couldn't tell whether this was deceiving himself, it was better to have such a belief than not.

This time, neither Gruchak nor Leah spoke.

Of course, they hoped that humans would be the final winners, but they couldn't make any guarantees!

They had seen demons and felt the pressure brought by those guys!

The premise of endlessness alone has put a lot of pressure on most Nephalem.

Nephalem can fight continuously, but they need to eat after all.

Although they would carry a lot of food with them when they had the conditions, it was not endless after all.

When the demons turned into a tide, it was difficult for the surrounded Nephalem to find new food.

Although no legendary Nephalem had starved to death because of not being able to find food so far.

But there were also many Nephalem who were killed by demons.

"I am the same as before. As long as I can defeat the demons, it is not unacceptable for me to pay some price.

I believe in myself and hope."

Aidan spoke again.

But there was some doubt in Gruchak's expression.

"You seem to be hinting that you have the power of hope? I don't believe it!

Even if your actions back then did bring hope to many people, Auriel would not die on the Holy Mountain of Harrogath!

And she definitely has no possibility of giving up the power of hope."

Gruchak said his thoughts directly.

There was no need for him to hide anything from Aidan.

"It is justice, although I don't think this authority is suitable for me.

But it is better to have it than not to have it.

Although now I think this may also be part of the plan of those archangels."

Aidan shook his head.

Then he took a gulp of strong liquor.

"I am not surprised by this. Archangels have never been innocent!"

Gluchak smiled, but his smile was a little hideous!

He didn't like archangels, even guys like Auriel and Imprus who showed kindness.

This was probably a rare consensus between Gluchak and Aidan.

"Did you make an appointment here?"

Leah asked.

She didn't really believe that Aidan came here just to see her.

Although Leah hoped this was true.

But Leah also understood that a guy like Aidan who had a huge responsibility would not waste time.

Repair the relationship between father and daughter?

This kind of thing is not so important compared to the survival of mankind.

At least the dark wanderer that Leah learned from Deckard Cain is not such a person.

"Yes, but I made an appointment for an hour later.

Even if he arrives a little earlier, it won't be too early."

Aidan said frankly.

"That's your business. I'm just a tavern owner now."

Leah tried her best to show that she didn't care so much, and then threw a can of wine on Aidan's table.

Gruchak drank silently and didn't intend to express any opinions on this.

He just thought that Aidan didn't seem to be as simple as he said, and he didn't intend to intervene too much in the affairs of Leah and Aidan.

Gruchak just wanted to ensure Leah's safety.

The tavern soon continued to be silent.

The person Aidan made an appointment with was naturally Nick Fury.

There were many things to discuss between him and Nick Fury.

Especially after Nick Fury handed in the invitation for the meeting.

The final decision maker of Canduras is indeed not Leoric, but not Aidan either!

This father and son, together with Johanna, formed a somewhat strange decision-making layer.

There is a big difference in their behavior, but as long as they are from the perspective of humans, there is the possibility of cooperation.

At this time, Canduras has entered such a strange state!

Johanna will not interfere with any development issues of Canduras.

But Johanna will not be absent in some important decisions!

"Paladin? Have you really decided?"

Gluchak broke the silence and asked.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is a Paladin or a Templar.

It's just that I have the authority of justice, and it is easier to build the initial faith of the Paladin."

Aidan said perfunctorily.

Although the tavern is not dim, it is not so bright that it is dazzling.

It is very suitable for relaxation under the gentle light.

The perfunctory and lazy chat makes Leah's tavern have a strange warm taste.

Aidan continued to drink slowly in silence.

Gluchak still sat aside in a daze, occasionally taking a sip of strong liquor.

Leah sat behind the counter, looking at the front with empty eyes.

This period of time is a bit boring and boring for them.

But this is also a good experience.

It's easier to just sit there and do nothing than to face the threat of the devil.

This silence should last at least until Nick Fury arrives.

Extra will be released before 2 o'clock
