Chapter 418: Secret

This staff is about two meters long and has a silver body, and the lower part is a round stick, which only becomes flat at the top half of the meter, and layers of delicate patterns are imprinted on it, just like a mysterious magic circle, through the channeling of special magic, the anger in the human body is stimulated, forming a powerful force.

Because of his experience in using Asgardian weapons, Ling Xiao's spiritual sense quickly imprinted his own imprint on the core of the Berserk Staff, and he even saw all the magic circles engraved on this staff and memorized them thoroughly, he had a feeling that as long as he could master this magic circle, he could actually stimulate people's anger without using the Berserk Staff, thus generating powerful power, of course, this required something else.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and watched Coulson and his party staring at him cautiously, as if he would lose control in the next moment, and Ward quietly put on his pistol, only if Ling Xiao moved slightly, he would use the excuse to shoot him dead.

"Alright, Phil, you can call Fury and see what he plans to do with this staff." Ling Xiao waved the scepter in his hand lightly, after all, it was made of Asgard's rare metal, and it was quite easy to use.

Looking at the relieved crowd, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "How about it, do any of you plan to try it?" ”

"Ling, don't make such jokes." Coulson glared at Ling Xiao angrily, and began to make a call, there were so many people lying on the scene, life and death were unknown, he needed a lot of manpower to deal with this matter, especially the scepter in Ling Xiao's hand.

Soon after, Coulson and Melinda fly to a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base in a Quinn plane with the Berserk of Fury, while Ling Xiao rushes back to London to receive the Queen's Honours, and Skye, Ward, Fitz, and Simmons will become Witnesses.

In fact, in the United Kingdom, it is not very difficult to get an honour, and the list of honoured people is usually announced twice a year - the monarch's birthday and New Year's - and each time there are about 1,000 people, respectively by the public and the government and nominated.

In the UK, many people covet the Order of the Empire. Even in modern Britain, no matter how beautiful and rich a person is, without the title of Lord or Sir, he is still an ordinary person with no status and cannot enter the upper social circle. But there are times when honoured people refuse to accept honours, and in 2003 British newspapers published a list of all those who had been denied canonization.

The title of the earliest nobles has depreciated more and more in recent years, and the title of the nobleman was once directly linked to the property rights of the land.

In order to increase the income of the royal family, the British kings of later generations began to buy and sell titles, and the number of people with titles in Britain increased, and the value of titles gradually declined.

In the hundreds of years after the Glorious Revolution, the parliamentary reforms aimed at reducing the power of the nobility, and the privileges of the nobility have been reduced to the extent that the title is about equal to the honorary title conferred by the king. If you change to China, it is just a pennant.

It can also be seen from this that even if the Knights of the Round Table have wooed Ling Xiao, the strength of this wooing is extremely limited, and it has not even received a strong backlash from S.H.I.E.L.D. But think about it, a force can only rely on its own strong strength in the end, even if it is to win over the outside world, it is necessary to investigate the strength and character of the other party, so as not to win back a greedy jackal in the end, so that the gains outweigh the losses.

This year coincided with the Queen's birthday on June 6, and in Buckingham Palace, Ling Xiao was personally presided over by the Queen in the ceremony, in which the Queen held a symbolic sword and gently tapped Ling Xiao's shoulder, and then was announced that he had been awarded the title of British Lord of Honor.

Except for the first 20 people who were awarded by the Queen herself, all the others were awarded by Prince Charles. After all, the queen is old, and it is impossible to live and give a thousand people a medal one by one, which is not very realistic.

In the entire Buckingham Palace, Ling Xiao felt that his spiritual sense had been greatly limited, there was a powerful invisible barrier here, the entire Buckingham Palace was protected in the middle, and within the barrier, there were several powerful auras lurking, if he guessed correctly, these were the Knights of the Round Table.

After receiving the award, Ling Xiao met Budolak again, as the last of the Knights of the Round Table, he was not very old, he did not look like he was 30 years old.

However, she was not the only one who appeared in front of Ling Xiao at this time, there was also a young woman standing aside, seemingly waiting for Ling Xiao.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, I'm really sorry that I couldn't give you special treatment." Budolak looked sorry, according to what Ling Xiao and Thor did, it would not be too much to make them a hereditary nobleman, but in this way, it would inevitably attract the attention of all forces, and some of the gains outweighed the losses.

"Nothing, having a title of Honorary Honour is enough for me." Ling Xiao's face was indifferent, just such a title of Honorary Lord, it was indeed enough for him, which not only ensured that he could have a certain close relationship with the Knights of the Round Table, but also maintained a certain distance between the two sides, and it was not a good thing for him that the two sides were tied too deeply.

Seeing that Ling Xiao really didn't care, Budolak felt a little surprised, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, if he soon pressed all this in his heart, he said to Ling Xiao: "Mr. Ling, this is Elizabeth, she is now in MI5, if you have something difficult to handle, you can contact her, she will help you with some dredging." ”

"Mr. Ling, this is my business card, with my contact information on it." As soon as Budolak finished speaking, Elizabeth handed over her business card.

Ling Xiao took Elizabeth's business card with his hand, nodded slightly, and said very politely: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"Okay, you talk, I have other things here, Mr. Ling, I'll see you again when you have a chance." Seeing that the matter was finished, Budolak took the initiative to leave.

When Budolak left, Ling Xiao walked out and said, "Elizabeth, MI5 agents are not your only identity, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Ling." Elizabeth nodded and said: "I am not only an agent of MI5, but also a reserve knight of the Knights of the Round Table, belonging to the subordinate knights commanded by the Tristan Knights, and the matters involved on your side in the future will be handled by me." ”

The Tristan Knight refers to Budolak, Elizabeth is actually Budolak's direct subordinate, and Ling Xiao is the task assigned to her.

"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded lightly, Elizabeth was not surprised by such frankness, I believe Budolak also understood that Elizabeth's identity could not arouse Ling Xiao's suspicion, so he simply said it directly.

What Ling Xiao didn't know was that Elizabeth's full name was Elizabeth Betsy Budolak, and she was Budolak's own sister.

After getting to know Elizabeth briefly, the two separated, and there were Skye, Fitz, and Simmons to entertain on Ling Xiao's side.

The night envelops the whole of London, and the nightlife of London is just beginning to begin.

In the internal bar of the Hilton Hotel, Ward left with the beautiful woman he had just hooked up, Fitz and Simmons kept writhing their bodies on the dance floor, and Ling Xiao was originally sitting quietly drinking at the bar alone, I don't know when Skye had come over.

"Congratulations on your Lord of Honor." Skye raised his glass to congratulate Ling Xiao and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, but I'm afraid I'll get used to turndown service and putting a small mint on my pillow, like this kind of high-class hotel treatment!" ”

Looking at the undisguised teasing meaning in Skye's eyes, Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said, "I won't tell Coulson about the previous things, no matter what you are secretly thinking, as long as it doesn't involve me, I won't interfere, so rest assured, I won't be your interference." ”

"We deserve a fantastic night, especially you." As if he hadn't heard what Ling Xiao said, Skye gently brushed his wrist.

Skye was slightly green and charming, although it looked a little moving, Ling Xiao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said, "Is everything okay to you?" ”

"No, it's just the things I care about." Skye laughed to himself before he said, "Remember, my shoulder is free at any time." ”
