Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 610 A Favor from an Old Friend (First Update)

Although the "Black Void," this extradimensional being, was Kamar-Taj's target, that didn't stop Kamar-Taj from accepting Kunlun's request. As payment for eliminating Kunlun traitors, some of Kamar-Taj's people would be allowed to participate in Kunlun's martial arts exchange. Faced with this request, the Venerable One didn't even bother to lift an eyelid; a matter that a few high-ranking deacons could handle didn't require such a grand gesture.

In truth, Kamar-Taj doesn't think much of these self-important practitioners. Moreover, the fact that the false name "Haotian Jinque Wushang Zhizun Ziran Miaoyou Miluo Zhizhen Gaotian Shangsheng Daci Renzhe Yuhuang Shezui Xifu Datianzun Xuanqiong Gaoshangdi" rules that demiplane is truly despicable, as if he is completely unaware that the real Taoist deities still exist in a higher plane called Da Luotian.

When the Third Divine Descent occurred, all the gods withdrew from the Prime Material Plane, and all the Earth pantheons born after the God Eaters withdrew their fingers from interfering with the Prime Material Plane. Kamar-Taj also acquired its name at that time, officially representing the rise of humanity. If His Holiness wished, he could have entered that demiplane, the so-called "blessed land" of Mount Kunlun, and slaughtered all the dragons. However, considering that Kunlun had not interfered with humanity for tens of thousands of years and had even sent people to participate in the First Advent War with Odin, His Holiness decided to leave this honor to Salomon.

The Venerable One had already slain a dragon once, when he, as a knight, conquered all the extradimensional beings who had appeared in the aftermath of the Third Advent War. He had done so with a white dragon that carried the entirety of Britain. Salomon was somewhat eager to try slaying a dragon. This was not only because he disliked those who considered themselves inheritors of divine magic, but also because of the prophecy brought by Father Morru.

Father Moru may have had some mental issues due to years of alcoholism, but he still prophesied that Salomon would slay the dragon. The dream was vague, but Salomon still believed that the prophetic dream was accurate, whether the prophetic dream came true in Kukulkan or in the dragons of Kunlun, it made no difference to Salomon.

Laura Crawford, whose fate is intertwined with that of the feathered serpent god Kukulkan, has now become a pawn in Salomon's game, and Salomon has yet to begin planning his plans against the dragons of Kunlun.

In order to achieve independent development for humankind, he always had to kill some gods.

The Third Advent also involved Gaia, the Earth Mother. One of Kamar-Taj's purposes is to prevent Earth's pantheons from interfering with human development. Salomon is the perfect tool to achieve this goal, and he doesn't mind fulfilling this innate mission. Salomon asks himself, if his adoptive mother violated the rules set by Kamar-Taj and interfered with humanity, what would he do?

There is only one answer.

He took up the holy sword; he had no choice but to abandon something of immeasurable value.

The sorcerer gathered his scattered thoughts and sized up Matthew Murdoch, who had changed into a suit. The fate of the Black Sky was now inextricably linked with this man. Kamar-Taj could locate the creature of that shadow plane with minimal cost, instead of using a high-level artifact like the "Cosmic Cauldron" and incurring enormous expenses for prophecy. Spellcasting had its price, and Salomon was a shrewd and miserly manipulator in this regard.

"This is great, much better than your previous cheap suit. You look like a lawyer representing a big corporation now," he said. "Welcome to the world of high-end bespoke tailoring. You'll love the Scabal brand."

"I doubt the salary offered by Nelson-Murdoch Law Firm could afford this suit." The blind lawyer tilted his head, trying to loosen his overly tight tie a little. Accustomed to American suits, Murdoch was somewhat unaccustomed to the well-tailored British suit, finding it almost impossible to breathe in it.

"If you can give me some green chili sauce, I can give you a looser tie," Salomon said with a smile. "I know you have a lot of Mexican immigrant customers. How about it, not a bad deal, right?"

"You have once again demonstrated your intelligence capabilities, Salomon Damonette."

"You've demonstrated your abilities; you're probably the first blind person in the world who can see nameplates." The sorcerer stood up, shook hands with the lawyer, and said, "Are you sure you don't need me to drive you to Clinton? I've never driven anyone in my Aston Martin before! You still have injuries on your face; do you need some medicine to help them heal quickly?"

"Thank you, but no need. I already took some ibuprofen this morning." Matthew Murdoch gently shook Salomon's hand. "I can take the subway home. There aren't many cases to take at the firm anyway... You know, the recent Hell's Kitchen bombing. I've always thought, your height is truly astounding."

"Then next time we meet, my maid will give you my contact information. You know when to come find me."

"I know. Goodbye, weirdo."

Only after the lawyer left did Diana, who had maintained the proper silence for a maid, speak. "Master, is this person important?"

Salomon shook his head, giving a negative answer.

Salomon offered an explanation in response to the maid's question.

"Matthew Murdoch was one of the baits used to lure out the Dark Sky. Even the deacons of Kamar-Taj couldn't enter the Shadow Dimension to find the demonized shadow creature 'Beast.' The Shadow Dimension is too vast, and infiltrating it is extremely dangerous," he said. "On the other hand... we're going to visit Athena's friend, our lovely Ms. Vanessa, who's been dating a hapless fellow lately. Although I don't particularly like her art style, as an old friend, we have to fulfill our duty to remind her."

"You mean Wilson Fisk?" Dina frowned. As the invisible leader of the Sisterhood, she naturally knew all the situations the Sisterhood encountered in their missions. Even Tita would often listen to the opinions of this original homunculus, because she had spent the most time with Salomon and understood the thought processes of all the homunculus masters best.

He took the documents from Diana. Stephanie had already signed them, but Salomon still needed to finalize them. The treatment of U.S. Army veterans wasn't great, and Stephanie was working hard to poach soldiers from the U.S. government to recruit a steady stream for Victoria Hand's department. These documents were thought tests of the soldiers; once Salomon signed them, these men could get new jobs and support their families.

"That's just a mob boss." The sorcerer held up his little finger, fully expressing his disdain for the ever-changing organization of the New York mob over the past century. New York is a city of immigrants, and gangs always grow like weeds; when one boss dies, another will take his place. The deal with Elijah, the former New York Mafia boss, is about to be completed. The former Mafia godfather, who resembles a teacher, will be laundered under a different identity and join a subordinate department of the Immortal City's intelligence department. The final obstacle to completing the deal is Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, who has just emerged in Hell's Kitchen but already has the power to rival the Irish and Russian mob gangs. He has seized control of the human trafficking terminal, causing some trouble for the Sorority's work.

Therefore, Elijah had already sent his trusted men to Salomon to discuss how to get rid of the new man.

"If necessary." The sorcerer waved his finger, the implication being clear.

He would fulfill his duty to remind Athena and Vanessa out of consideration for their long-standing friendship, but if they refused, he had done it before: bombarding a gang's hideout with heavy artillery in Manhattan.
