Chapter 3405 Sons of Midnight (IV)
The tower was as busy as ever. Every Schiller had his own things to do. Greed walked through the corridor and came to the floor where Moonlight was. As expected, he saw the skeleton falcon head Kongsu in the room of the lunatic asylum.
"Are you the only one here?" Greedy asked curiously.
The bird's beak made two clicks. Schiller understood what he meant: Moonlight had gone out by herself without him. Wasn't this a coincidence? It seemed that he didn't need to do anything at all, and Kong Su had no choice.
"Who did he go out with?" Schiller asked again.
Kong Su pointed his staff at the ground. Schiller was a little surprised and said, "Isn't this manipulation?"
Kong Su nodded.
"Well, it looks like you'll have to work with me for the time being."
Kongsu shook his head.
"What? You don't want to work? Do you want to eat free meals in my spiritual world?" Schiller narrowed his eyes.
But he didn't expect Kong Su to come over and walk around him. The flames in the skull's eye sockets jumped, and he shook his head and sighed.
"What do you mean?" Schiller said very dissatisfiedly, "Do you think I am too weak?"
"Your understanding of strength is too superficial!" Schiller said bitterly, "Do you think that only those who can fight are strong?"
Kong Su nodded.
Schiller sighed helplessly and said, "Most things in this world still require the use of the brain. Brain, understand?"
"Then why did you come to me?" Kong Su asked the key question, and Schiller was speechless.
He came to Kong Su not only because he wanted to play the role of Moonlight Knight, but mainly because he really needed some force to protect him. What street hero doesn't know how to fight?
But for Pride and Greed, fighting, especially close combat, is indeed their weakness. Although Tian Tian mocks Stark for not being able to fight, Greed's fighting skills are about the same as Stark's without a mecha.
Although fighting doesn't matter whether you have skills or not, as long as you can win, people with better fighting skills will look more handsome. This is the most important secret of street heroes.
In close combat, the fight between Captain America and Natasha will be more handsome because they both have strong fighting skills and their own styles.
Peter is a little weaker in this respect because he has not received professional combat training. However, he is fast, agile, and has a strong bionic style in his movements, which looks okay.
As for Iron Man in a mecha, that's not his fighting style at all, but Jarvis's. And he usually doesn't use close combat to suppress the enemy, but uses the mobility of the mecha to harass from a distance.
Logically, Schiller could also choose to be a ranged hero, casting magic from a distance, etc. But the previous two owners of the Moonlight Knight identity were both close combat, so it would not be a good idea for him to suddenly change his style.
And he blamed Moonlight for raising the tone too high. Schiller suspected that Danny liked the hero Moonlight Knight so much because he had seen Moonlight fight.
To be honest, Moonlight's close combat style is indeed unique, showing a special kind of ruthlessness. It is unlikely that Greedy will imitate this style, but if the force is not enough, the special effects will make up for it. With Kong Su, at least Moonlight's special effects are the same.
After hearing Greed's idea, Kong Su hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's just some street criminals, maybe it's possible. But if you're facing Mephisto, I can't help you."
"I'm not going to fight Mephisto, and he won't want to fight me." Schiller explained, "I just want to find out who has been instigating Danny to fight Mephisto. I just need you to help me maintain the image of Moonlight Knight, and I can do the rest myself."
In the end, Greedy and Kong Su reached an agreement. Kong Su was responsible for using magic to help Schiller maintain the image of Moonlight Knight and provide some magic assistance in the battle, while Schiller would handle the rest himself.
As a superhero, of course you need to have your own base, and it must have its own style, such as Iron Man's Stark Laboratory and the Sorcerer Supreme's Sanctum Sanctorum.
Schiller was next to take care of that.
Schiller had previously obtained a house from Father Brad in the Pale Knight universe. A house that can appear on the same street in every universe fits the mysterious style of Moonlight Knight.
But the problem is that this house can only appear in the DC universe. The DC demons don't have the power to control Marvel's affairs. So if you want a similar house, you still have to find a Marvel administrator.
Schiller came to the Eternal Temple and saw that Eternity had been living a good life recently, as the Eternal Temple had not been destroyed for a long time.
In the center of the Eternal Temple, the incarnation of eternity was floating quietly in the air. As Schiller approached, he heard a majestic voice.
"Traveler from the astral world, why are you here?"
"Transfer to manual."
“You can take a break here, or start your journey again.”
"Switch to manual!"
"The light of order will always shine upon you."
"I'm Schiller, switch to manual!!!"
Yongheng woke up with a start. Schiller was speechless. It turned out that your keyword was not "artificial" but "Schiller".
"Ahem." Yongheng cleared his throat and said, "There have been a lot of visitors recently, so I had to turn on the automatic reply. What's the matter?"
Schiller briefly explained his purpose, and then said: "I can take care of the house myself, but I need you to give me the authority to summon it in any single universe."
"That's not my business. You have to look for infinity. It is the embodiment of the sum of the universe."
"I don't care, you guys discuss it yourselves. I just want the result."
Yongheng was obviously a little helpless, but he still communicated with a certain existence in the void, and then gently clenched his hands in the air, and a blue cone appeared in his hand.
"After you build the house, you can put this thing on top and select the range yourself. The larger the area, the more energy is required to summon it."
Schiller took the blue cone, put it away and prepared to leave. Yongheng asked again, "What are you going to do?"
"what?"
"What do you want this for all of a sudden?"
"I need to investigate some things." Schiller waved his hand and was about to leave, but he felt that if he didn't explain clearly, they would definitely misunderstand and then cause a lot of trouble, so he simply told them about his plan.
"You said you were going to deal with Mephisto?" Eternal's tone was a little curious. He said, "How did he offend you?"
"When did I say I was going to deal with Mephisto?" Schiller said, covering his forehead. "I was going to stop Danny from dealing with Mephisto and investigate what was behind it."
Yongheng obviously didn't believe it. Schiller was too lazy to convince him. It would be better if he could go and tip off Mephisto, so that the old devil would be more restrained recently and Danny wouldn't keep chasing him.
After returning to New York, Schiller began to select a location for the house.
In fact, since he came to Marvel, he has not had a proper residence. Whether it is a clinic or a nursing home, they are actually office spaces, but there is a bedroom on the second floor.
To be honest, his real house is the apartment he rented when he first came to Marvel. Of course, he no longer rents it now.
But in fact, the apartment is in a good location, located in the heart of Manhattan, not far from the clinic in Hell's Kitchen, Presbyterian Hospital, Stark Tower and the Avengers base.
The corresponding rent is also very expensive. Schiller is unlikely to spend extra money to rent it, but if he can get it for free, this position is not bad.
Schiller drove around and chose a commercial street instead of a high-rise apartment area. In one of the alleys, he selected a building.
Just like Father Brad, the house was not really built in the building, but was virtualized by magic. It was equivalent to opening a small space crack somewhere, and the dimension in the crack was the main body of the house, which did not interfere with the real world.
In order to fit the style of Moonlight Knight, Schiller had to build the house like the palace of the final boss in some games. The first thing you see when you enter the door is a wide hall, with a bright moon suspended above the fountain in the center. The moon phases keep changing, reflecting the hooded knight statues on both sides of the hall. Two spiral staircases lead to the upper floor, one side is the bedroom, and the other side is the study.
This dimension is an eternal night filled with moonlight. No matter which window you look out from, you can only see the night sky and a lonely full moon.
No matter what Schiller thought, Kong Su was very satisfied and seemed ready to live here permanently.
However, Schiller advised him not to do so, because once he stood in the middle of the hall with the skull falcon head on his head, people would inevitably want to pinch his soul.
After the base was completed, Schiller needed a weapon, so Kong Su was left without a weapon.
Schiller waved the long staff in his hand. If he had to choose a close combat weapon, Schiller would still prefer a blunt weapon, and one that was heavier and had a stronger sense of impact.
Although Kongsu's weapon is a staff, it is indeed a very good blunt weapon. It is long enough and heavy enough. The key is that the front of the staff is in the shape of a crescent, which is equivalent to an explosion-proof fork and is very functional.
After finishing all the things about being a superhero, Schiller still has the most important thing to do, which is to take a leave.
Although most people are now immersed in the two-player copy, Schiller still wants to inform them that he doesn't have time recently to prevent them from thinking that he has disappeared to do something.
Schiller went to Asgard first, where he met Loki, who was on duty, and looked a bit like President Loki. Schiller left a message and left.
Then came The Avengers. Schiller went there only to find out that Captain America had returned.
Schiller greeted Steve, who was playing pool, and Steve sighed helplessly when he saw him.
"What's wrong?" Schiller asked.
"Are you going to Stark Tower later?" Steve asked. Schiller nodded, not understanding.
"I advise you not to go recently. Tony is ready to settle accounts with you."
"Settle the bill?" Schiller thought Stark regretted spending 80 Doujie coins to buy the hospital. But with so many people present, Schiller was not afraid that he would default on the debt.
After saying goodbye to Steve, Schiller went straight to Stark Building. Before he even entered Stark's office, he heard him cursing.
"Siller, that damn bastard! He actually attacked me when I wasn't wearing a mecha! If not for that, why would I have quit the game early..."
