Chapter 12 Hill's Choice

Ethan floated in the sky, looking at the Paradise Island, which had become very small under his feet, feeling the cold and strong wind in the sky, and felt a layer of frost hanging on his body.

After taking a breath, Ethan realized that he could not continue to climb upwards unless he released his magic power to form an energy protection layer. No matter how high he was, his body would feel uncomfortable - not because he was damaged, but just because he felt uncomfortable. This means that his body could exert all his strength in the area below this height, and no matter how high he was, he would be affected.

This impact may not be great, but when it is really fought in the air, the height will continue to change, and he cannot be sure whether this impact will suddenly increase. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to strengthen protection for himself once it approaches the vicinity of the cordon.

"Go back first!"

Life on Paradise Island is very comfortable, and with beautiful scenery and plenty of food, everyone is very happy. They regard this as a vacation. After all, even if they have not encountered any battles for a long time, it also causes a lot of pressure and requires proper activities on the ground to relax.

This is also the reason why Ethan often takes everyone to other worlds. Even if Prince Eugen is so stable nowadays, as long as he does not encounter a storm or other weather, he will not feel that strong discomfort. He will still insist on doing this.

It has been falling from a high altitude and finally landed lightly on the beach. No one paid much attention to him. During this period, Ethan has been in touch with flying. No matter how magical things are, they will lose their curiosity after watching them for a long time.

The only person who has been paying attention to him for a long time is Maria Hill, the new temporary member. She stood here and waited for Ethan to come back. After he landed, she greeted him specially.

Looking at Maria Hill, who was not as casual as other people, Ethan knew that she must have been observing her flight data just now. She was likely to have calculated her flight altitude and flight speed, and then kept the data in her heart, and wrote it on a secret notebook after going back.

As the deputy director of SHIELD, Maria Hill has always been highly regarded by Nick Fury, but this does not mean that she and Nick Fury can reach an agreement on many concepts.

Even many of Nick Fury's ideas did not meet Hill's expectations, especially his attitude towards superheroes.

Nick Fury will appropriately release some benefits to these superheroes, and even give them a lot of privileges to win over these superheroes to stand on S.H.E.L.D. and become a helping of S.H.E.L.D.

Hill has always been opposed to this behavior. In her eyes, superheroes are also a group of criminals - the law is the law, and it should not be treated differently because the other party has special abilities.

She believes that the rules should be followed when they are made, and no one should violate these rules for any reason. Once someone regulates the rules, they should be punished; and what many superheroes do is essentially violating or even ignoring the rules, and she wishes to arrest all of these guys.

At the same time, she agreed that Nick Fury was suspicious of everything, was vigilant enough to anyone, and had a back-up style in advance.

For example, when she came out this time, she observed Ethan up close, recorded the details of Ethan's strength in detail, and then went back to formulate a detailed response plan to avoid one day when Ethan really harmed their world, S.H.E.L.D. or any other organization had no means of response.

Although SHIELD no longer exists, Maria Hill will not give up her philosophy. She will continue to move forward firmly and do everything to protect her world.

“You can relax properly here.”

“I will relax when it’s time to relax.”

Ethan shrugged, and he had no choice but to keep Hill in his 'working state'. She was here to work.

"You have also been on the boat for a while, and you should have realized that I have no malice in your world."

Hill nodded, she agreed with this. Ethan did not have any malicious intentions towards their world, because she had realized that Ethan wanted to develop her own world as a logistics base.

From this point of view, the two sides even have more possibilities for cooperation:

Ethan can walk multiple cosmic planes. Even if he doesn't consider other worlds, the pure ocean world still has enough magical resources to develop. Just like some magic stone technology that Tony has already obtained, the technology of using energy can increase the level of civilization on Earth a lot.

Not to mention anything else, add an additional layer of energy protection, and weapons such as soldiers, aircraft and warships can exert stronger combat effectiveness, and even in the face of Asgard's invasion, there is no power without resistance.

Considering that Ethan wants to develop that world into a logistics base, a stable large rear is definitely more useful than a chaotic rear, so to some extent Ethan will even help them protect the earth - because both sides have the same interests to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of this that Maria Hill's attitude towards Ethan was a little better - she was still very taboo to users of extraordinary abilities, so it was impossible to become a true friend in a short period of time. It was already good to have a friendship of this level.

This is thanks to the fact that there is no particularly weird existence within Ethan's team. Serena and Logan are both mean and have a slight heart and ignore others on the surface, but when you need help, they do their best than anyone else.

Imoton and Ansuna are the most 'proud', but they put their positions very clearly, and under the current situation, they will not be foolish to provoke Hill.

As for O'Connor, Jonathan and Evelyn, the three of them are just funny and cute, and they are ordinary people. Hill is not stressed when they get along with them.

The only thing that is not easy to get along with is Annette, a research maniac and her agent, lack common language, but as long as she does not disturb her research, Annette will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

Ada...

She felt a similar aura in this woman as Black Widow, and she also knew that this woman was an elite spy specially invited by Ethan to join, obviously to facilitate the team to collect various intelligence information when they go to a strange world.

In short, Maria Hill has lived a happy life in Prince Eugen during this period. Ethan's companions did not exclude her because she was a temporary member. Perhaps this was related to the fact that there were always temporary members in the team before? Even now, O'Connor and others have not yet found their position, so where can they get the confidence to exclude newcomers?

Life was quite happy and barely considered friends with a few people. Ethan felt that the time was almost over and began to ask about Maria Hill's plans.

He has asked several people about similar questions during this period, and everyone's answers are almost the same, and they all need to be considered.

Maria Hill is the only one that doesn't need to think about. She has clear tasks and ideas. Ethan is not asking about a general goal. What he wants to ask is whether Hill has any ideas about his own strength?

"Although you are just a person who joins our team temporarily, there are some situations that have to be considered."

Ethan and the others were not in sync with the passage of time in the Marvel Universe. For Nick Fury and others, Hill was only on a business trip for a few months or a year, and she might have been years or even decades here.

It takes such a long time to turn a child into an adult, or to allow an ordinary person to complete his life.

I guess Nick Fury is not happy to send her to the peak of her upright life to study, but she becomes an old lady older than herself in a blink of an eye.

“So I can use the fortifiers you made too?”

It is no secret that the enhancement potion is on Prince Eugen. Everyone on the ship has used it. Everyone often discusses the specific effects of the potion. Jonathan, who likes to brag, does not shy away from his own changes. Everyone has never shy away from her when discussing how to better stimulate the potion.

"Why not?"

Hill frowned. She didn't expect that she would get such great benefits so soon? Is Ethan trying to win over her?

Seeing her expression, Ethan smiled and shook his head: "You made some mistakes. You may think that this kind of enhancement potion is a very precious thing, but this is nothing to me."

It is similar to the nature of the troops giving new recruits who have just joined the army a complete set of equipment and daily necessities. In Ethan's eyes, the primary and advanced enhancement potions are just this.

Of course, this is still a very precious item for Hill. After all, the value of the item depends largely on how much the other party wants this thing.

Of course Hill wanted to get the potion to strengthen herself, but she thought she needed to make some contributions to the team to get it, but she didn't expect that she would just send it as a standard ration.

"You may think this kind of potion is very effective, but for me, this thing can only provide you with a good enough basic condition. You still need to consider your own learning direction. Which aspect do you want to work hard?"

Be a mage like Ethan? Or be a pure warrior? Or learn the energy of the Holy Light to become a Paladin or priest? Although Ethan doesn’t know much, it’s not impossible to be a shaman.

Ethan's choices were not absolute. She could learn all the knowledge she was interested in. After all, this is not a game world. If you choose a profession, you will fix your talent and skill tree. There are many people who can learn skills and knowledge across the ranks or part-time jobs in the real world.

So these so-called career directions are just a reference, and ultimately, they are asking Hill what he wants to learn.
