The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 2213 Old Predicament

In 1945, London, on the banks of the Thames, a car was driving slowly along the river bank.

Rogers was sitting in the car, his eyes full of worry and sadness. At this moment, a woman dressed in blue and white lady sitting next to him was flipping through the notebook in her hand and said: "Steve, my dear , you didn't say anything the whole trip... I don't mind, I just finished the book... Gerald Garnard, what a show."

Rogers curled his lips. He knew Gerald Garnard, a wizard with a little bit of magic. World War II is coming to an end. This does not mean that everything is over, but this is the beginning of a new era. And Gerald Garnard saw this opportunity.

Based on contemporary mysticism and religion, he mixed some Wicca magic, founded the Ghana Dwicca sect, and then published a book of shadows.

The Book of Shadows is a Wicca magic book tailor-made for solitary practitioners. Gerald Gardner knows that society has lost its connection with nature and cannot find a way to magic, so In this book, he discloses a lot of magical knowledge that was not disclosed in the past, so that people who want to get in touch with magic can step into the mysterious world that people are eager to use based on the basic structure of this book.

However, Rogers sneered at this book. Although Ganard has some magic, it has no effect on the battlefield at all, and his book is just borrowing some characteristics of Freemasonry, and the old Aspen Wright lived in the Encyclopedia of Magic Rituals and other books, and then used the gods in Celtic, Irish, and Scottish mythology as the main gods, and the Gardner Wiccanism created was very personal.

But to be honest, these magics of his really don't have much effect, they are not as good as pistol bullets, let alone grenade cannons.

However, Rogers also knew in his heart that these things would definitely be very popular in the future, because the war is about to end, and various countries have begun to control domestic guns and ammunition, so when the overall atmosphere tends to be strict, the so-called magic The power can come in handy to a certain extent, and one can imagine that this so-called magic will be able to develop greatly in the future given the human yearning for religious mysticism for thousands of years.

Shaking his head, Rogers said helplessly: "Why are you still thinking about reading at this point, Alisa? We lost Hydra, and the Red Skull took it from us. With this Meanwhile, my best friend is locked in a Confederate cell, waiting for the firing squad to arrive, and most importantly now that you tell me that the Americans have developed some kind of super weapon that will help them win the war, you ask What am I thinking?"

The best friend he is talking about here is actually Helmut Zemo. Zemo's father was killed and he was also captured by the Allies.

Rogers raised his head sharply, then looked at Alisa fiercely and said, "I was thinking that we are over, completely over, Alisa."

"Oh, I see, it's terrible!" Alyssa's expression was exaggerated, but in fact anyone could see the understatement in her eyes: "Oh, maybe you're right, dear. But then again , you know what people say? When you think you're done, it might help to go back to where it all started. So welcome home, Steve!"

While speaking, the car had already driven to a castle on the outskirts of London, and this was a place Rogers was very familiar with.

Stepping out of the car silently, Rogers gradually began to recall everything that happened that year, and then heard Alisa laughing and saying: "Now let's find out if there is a kettle and an open fire. I'm going to die of thirst after such a long journey. gone."

"Alyssa, what are you doing?" Rogers frowned tightly, looked at the other party, and said very dissatisfied: "Why did you bring me back here, why did you ask me to watch this, is it just to let me understand my Is everything I worked for—all I worked for—now in vain? Do you think I haven’t understood that by now?”

Shaking his head slightly, Rogers gritted his teeth and said with self-blame: "The Hydra is ruined. We thought we could manipulate the empire to realize our whimsical ideas, but we were swallowed by them. But then again, Maybe it's what we deserve, maybe it's not what I hypnotize myself. Maybe it's all a lie, you say this is where it all started, it's not for me, I wasn't born here like everyone else , I was brought by you."

Raising his head, Rogers stared at Alisa calmly, and said in a steady tone, "After you took her in, after you killed my mother."

After Rogers finished speaking, Alisa's complexion changed drastically, and she subconsciously covered her mouth: "Oh, Steve, I..."

"Okay, don't do this!" Rogers waved his hand to prevent Alisa from approaching, and at the same time forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said, "It took me several years to accept this fact. Trying to tell myself that there was a purpose to all of this, that she died for the good - but that wasn't the case, was it?"

"Actually, that's just what a group of lunatics did in pursuit of power. None of those ideals, those beliefs are true, they are just used as brainwashing cannon fodder, and now, you just need to add a handful of salt to the wound, and then send me Just go on another mission, maybe my last one. Get started!"

Seeing Rogers gritted his teeth with a painful look on his face, Alisa sighed softly and said, "Steve, my child, my little soldier, do you really think this is the purpose of our coming here?" ?Just to laugh at you and torture you?

No, you are wrong, I have told you many times, from the first day I saw you, I treated you as my own, even though I know you are not my own son.And I didn't bring you here today to assign tasks to you. "

Rogers already had prejudices in his heart. Although Alisa said the truth, Rogers's face did not change at all.

Alisa sighed heavily in her heart, and then waved in the direction of the castle door with Rogers behind her back. The next moment, an old woman with somewhat pale hair came out from the shadow of the door, but As soon as she came out, she excitedly shouted at Rogers: "Steve!"

"Mom?" Rogers looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The next moment, he ran over involuntarily, hugged the old woman in front of him tightly, and at the same time couldn't restrain the impulse in his heart and said: "Mom , Is it really you? Is all this true? I really can't believe it's you!"

"It's me, Steve, my son, it's all true." Rogers' mother also hugged him deeply, and the two of them were already crying.

Alyssa looked at the affectionate mother and son, her nose was breathing heavily, and before she knew it, she had quietly left.

It was already the next morning when Alisa saw Rogers again. She was sitting in front of the castle, drinking her morning tea facing the morning sun. At this moment, familiar footsteps sounded behind her, and Alisa took a sip of her tea. , before saying, "I'm surprised you're up so early, Steve. Given that you guys knew it was late at night yesterday, I can still hear you laughing and laughing reminiscing about the past. It's like that to me."

"I hope we didn't disturb you." Rogers smiled apologetically before sitting down beside Alisa.

"Nothing, it's all as wonderful as Xianle to me." Putting down the teacup in her hand, Alisa looked at Rogers and said, "I think you must be full of doubts in your heart, so I have to tell you about this matter." You explain, I did try to hit her when I was being rough - I'm sorry for that, Steve, he's been severely reprimanded - but I want to emphasize that it was just the first Small bag only.

Since then, she has lived well and has no worries about food and clothing. We have been keeping her up to date with how you are doing, giving her your photos, report cards, and some paintings. "

"I know, Alisa, I want to thank you." Rogers' attitude was very sincere, and his mother had already told him.

Alisa forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, child, I really hope that you two can reunite soon, but we both know that if you want to achieve something, you must..."

"I understand, Alyssa. You can't help yourself in many cases." Rogers looked at Alyssa very calmly. After so many years, he has a very thorough understanding of Hydra. Lisa couldn't do much at all, which was why he didn't hate her all these years.
