Age of Empires From Scratch

A new world, a new story, a new experience, without those hardships and experiences, will naturally become "another" person.

Professor X and Magneto's plan is essentially to sacrifice everyone in exchange for a better world.

If it wasn't too desperate, and there was no hope of defeating the Sentinels to save the world, everyone didn't want to implement this plan.

Just like now.

Flicker Clarice's accidental travel to another world gave the mutants a new hope of survival, but if they had the chance to live, how could they be willing to die?

This is the survival instinct of life.

Therefore, when Professor X and Magneto proposed the plan to go back to the past and change the world line, it was not recognized like the original plot, and everyone was very entangled, thinking whether they could find a way to have the best of both worlds.

These things, when talking with Magneto and Wolverine, David learned one after another.

Clarice also expressed the thoughts of some mutants, and would like to ask David, a duke who can connect multiple different worlds, if he can come up with some solutions?

"There is no good way."

Store everyone's memories in a specific tool, and then let these people 'retrieve' their memories after the new world line covers the world?

Even so, it's just allowing 'others' to have the memory of 'own', and it doesn't mean that these people have been resurrected.

Unless, like Professor X, mental power directly seizes control of the body with a lot of things such as memory and personality, but that is tantamount to directly killing the original owner.

Leaving aside whether these mutants have that ability, this kind of behavior is unacceptable to them, right?

The only thing that is certain now is that if they are going to send Wolverine Logan back in time to warn their former self, and then avoid the Sentinels to create a new world, David can properly provide some protection to ensure that they are completing this task Before, it will not be discovered and killed by sentries.

"Why are you so enthusiastic about helping us?"

After chatting for a while, Logan and Magneto followed David and slowly left the Winter Barracks, sitting in a jeep and slowly visiting other places in Winter City.

After driving the car to the bank of the vast Cold Winter River, Logan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly asked the most important question.

"Even if Clarice came to your territory for some special reason, you don't seem to need to care so much about us mutants, do you?"

Logan, who has lived long enough, has seen too many things. He does not believe that David wants to save mutants for no reason. After some conversations, David does not behave like those so-called saints.

The reason why Logan was a little less vigilant was that David did not pretend to be like a saint. He behaved normally, so Logan asked directly instead of directly listing David as an untrustworthy object in his heart.

"Because I hope that Winter City will develop very powerfully. It needs to continuously increase the city's population and obtain various resources, and mutants are a group of people with special abilities. You should understand what this means."

"Mutants are not weapons."

"Weapon itself has no distinction between good and evil, right and wrong." David used the other party's situation as an example: "You and your companions use mutant powers to fight against sentries and protect your companions and the remaining ordinary people. Is this kind of thing wrong? ?”

"..." Of course Logan understood this truth, but everyone would say that when Stryker captured mutants for experiments, the above-board formula was more beautiful, but what about the result?

No matter how beautiful the slogan is, it is useless to define a person by his actual actions.

For now, David is at least honest enough.

Logan felt a headache. He really didn't want to come to participate in these things. He was not good at these things. He took out a cigar and lit it irritably, and then looked directly at Magneto King Eric who hadn't said much.

His meaning is obvious, I will leave it to you, and I have nothing to say.

Magneto doesn't care about Wolverine's strike behavior. He has known the character of this guy for so many years, and he will come with Wolverine this time, mainly because Wolverine's immortal body can guarantee the safety of several people.

When the going gets tough, Wolverine can hold off enemies and buy Clarice and Eric time to escape.

And Wolverine will not die, so don't worry about him being sacrificed, and you can find opportunities to rescue him in the future.

So from the beginning, Wolverine came here as a bodyguard, and Eric was originally responsible for talking.

Before Eric didn't speak, Logan took the initiative to start the conversation. Now that the conversation has begun, please start your performance, Magneto.

Eric didn't talk about those meaningless topics. He directly asked David, if the mutants moved to Winter City and became residents of Winter City, how would David plan to accommodate these mutants?

In Eric's view, David has a high probability of placing mutants alone in a specific community, which can avoid conflicts between mutants and ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, David was not prepared to do that at all.

Except for the Cybertronians because of their size, he has always treated the various races who came to Winter City as "normal treatment." '

As long as you are willing to join the Winter City and become a resident of the Winter City, then you can enjoy all the treatment of the Winter City, and there is no difference from others.

"Will there be no discrimination?"

Luo Gen was not ready to speak at all, but he still couldn't help opening his mouth after hearing this.

While Eric was surprised, he thought that David, the Duke of Winter, didn't know what it meant to be a mutant: "Mutants will be rejected or even hated by many ordinary people, not only some mutants will change in appearance , there is a very important reason that when mutants awaken their abilities, there is a certain risk of losing control."

It can be said that this is the biggest contradiction between mutants and ordinary people. Everything else is false. Only this point is the most critical, because it will actually threaten the personal safety of ordinary people.

Because no one would like to return home happily one day, only to find that their house was blown into ruins because of the awakening of the super power of the bear kid next door. What's worse is that there were still people in the house at the time.

This kind of thing is not an exception in the world of mutants.

Now that David wants to bring the mutants to Winter City, how is he going to solve this hidden danger?

Even if the surviving mutants can control their superpowers very well, and will not accidentally injure ordinary people out of control, what about the new generation of mutants that will be born after the mutants multiply?

"This is actually not difficult to solve."

To a certain extent, mutants suddenly acquire certain superpowers due to the awakening of their own X genes. Although these abilities are different, the reason for their loss of control is simple: a sudden extra ability, just like you suddenly With an extra arm or leg, there will definitely be a period of discomfort.

However, when this ability is acquired, there are not no signs at all. The X gene also requires energy to endow the host with the ability. In many cases, the energy of the universe is directly extracted, which means that it can be detected in advance.

Not to mention that David's Winter City can easily make similar equipment. One of the most critical capabilities of the sentinel is to detect the X gene, and even the hidden X gene can be discovered by it.

"So, as long as it is confirmed that the child has the X gene, installing a small detection and restriction device on the child can prevent bad things from happening."

According to David, this restriction device is not to deprive mutants of their abilities, but to 'weaken' them. For mutants who use energy directly like Cyclops, using this device can greatly reduce their output power.

If some mutants who have just awakened their abilities are suppressed by this kind of equipment, they may not be able to use their abilities, and naturally they will not pose a threat to ordinary people around them. Even if it is a powerful ability, it will not cause too much harm after being suppressed.

"This suppression range can be adjusted continuously, and it is also a device for mutants to learn how to use and control their abilities correctly."

"Sounds good, Winter City can make this kind of equipment?"

"Not difficult."

Winter City has gathered a lot of cosmic civilization technology and Cybertron technology in the Marvel universe, as well as a lot of alchemy and magic knowledge, plus all kinds of strange materials. It is really not difficult to make this kind of thing.

After talking for a while, David realized that Magneto was gradually inclined to come to Winterfell.

After all, his plan with Professor X was to save the world, but it was no different from destroying the world. After Magneto discovered that he could truly save the existing mutants, he began to waver.

Especially when I learned that the technical reserve of Winter City is not as 'medieval' as it appears on the surface, it has a large number of advanced technologies at the level of cosmic civilization, including gene adjustment and optimization technologies, which can not only make mutants better The mastery of superpowers can also eliminate some of the 'side effects', and even make mutants stronger.

This is obviously a brighter future, so bright that Magneto has a crooked mind.

However, he was keenly aware that he was no match for the Duke of Winter, and he was startled by the sense of oppression from the other party.

After realizing the huge power gap between the two sides, Magneto resolutely gave up that dangerous idea, and even more began to pay attention to how to lead the mutants to this new bright road.

Being able to help compatriots choose the right path forward can be regarded as a contribution to the mutants.

Now, the biggest question for Magneto is, how to convince old friends to abandon the plan they made earlier? Come together to Winterfell and work to forge a true future for the surviving mutants.

"I might need some time to talk to my old friend."
