Chapter 671: Goodbye to old friends, the admired person

The plane from Mutants Academy arrived straight above the airport in the hometown of Iron City. When Professor Charles was pushed out of the plane by Ororo, he couldn't help but look around.

It is completely different to witnessing the world's first city dominated by mutants with his own eyes and looking through other people's eyes. At least now, Charles feels a special feeling from this experience that he has never had before. As someone said, the City of Steel will give mutants a feeling of returning to his hometown. He didn't believe in this kind of thing at first, but now he believes it.

That kind of spiritual comfort and sense of belonging does have this incredible magic. Especially when he saw the happy smiles of his compatriots living here, he admired the greatness of this city even more.

Not only him, but the students who came out behind him also showed the same shock and emotion when they looked at the scene in front of them. Maybe they had never thought that they would come to the city of their compatriots one day. And just as they were still looking around, the voice of an old man suddenly came from them.

"Children, welcome to your hometown. I promise that you can find the warmest feeling in your dreams here. And you, my old friend, welcome your arrival. Can you tell me what your feelings are like now when you see this?"

When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help but look up at the sky. When they saw Magneto floating down from the sky, different changes appeared on each person's face.

Charles naturally smiled. However, Ororo and the beasts around him showed deep vigilance. The long-term hostile attitude of their mutant brotherhood made it difficult for them to have any good senses towards this guy who suddenly appeared. And even more serious than them was Logan, a tough guy. No matter who meets such a person who is born to restrain himself, it is difficult for him not to have any negative thoughts about him. Logan did not stretch out his claws and rushed forward, which was the result of his desperate suppression of impulse with reason.

Of course, on the one hand, the current situation is not suitable for him to do it. On the other hand, he knows that even if he does it himself, it will be difficult to achieve any effect. Magneto can easily round and flatten him and throw it to the other side of the earth.

"Great, my old guy." Charles didn't care about the attitude of his students. He just smiled and said to Magneto in the sky. "It's really hard to believe that I'll see such a day when I'm alive. To be honest, I feel that even if I die now, I can say that there is no regret."

"Don't say the death so early!" Landed beside Charles, and took control of the wheelchair from Ororo, who looked reluctant. Magneto said, pushing him forward. "This city still needs you, our compatriots still need you. Everything is just the beginning. Don't you feel a little too sorry to talk about death now? It's a pity! You're right, Eric, I should continue to live. Seeing my compatriots live better and better, this city becomes more and more spectacular."

Nodding, the smile on Charles's face became even gentler. Seeing the old guy's smile, Magneto couldn't help laughing. Both of them belonged to the kind of people who dedicated their lives for their ideals, but their goals were different. From a long time ago, they had gradually moved away, and sometimes they even wondered whether they would never be able to communicate with this old friend in such a happy way.

The emergence of their hometown gave them the opportunity to reunite. They also gave mutants from all over the world the opportunity to unite, abandon all the prejudices and hostility of the past, and reunited into a whole. This is definitely a special opportunity. However, if they want to achieve such a goal, they must overcome the difficulties in the present.

Sentinel robots are definitely natural enemies for mutants. Their own abilities are enough to ignore more than 70% of mutants, and a large part of the remaining mutants are not opponents of those robots. Only a very small number of mutants can deal with them, but even this is only temporary.

They are constantly evolving, becoming more terrifying and difficult to deal with. Soon, maybe even these only mutants who can deal with sentry machines will lose their place. And by that time, the mutants will be almost finished.

Of course they would not let them happen, neither Charles nor Eric allowed such things to happen. And what should be done to stop this has already been initially thought. But how to determine their specific course of action is something that needs to be considered and discussed.

"What are you going to do next, Charles?"

"I plan to visit the owner here. After all, I am visiting someone else's venue. It would be too rude to not visit him!"

Charles smiled and said his next plan, and when he heard that, Eric smiled and nodded in response.

"A wise decision, although the master is not here, the hostess is ready to welcome you."

"Miss Host?" Hearing this word, even with Charles' wisdom, he became a little hesitant. It was not that he did not know the identity of the hostess, but because he was qualified to call this title too many, he was really not sure who was the one Eric said.

"Ms. Ada, Ms. Lilith, and your most proud student, Qin, are waiting for you. But, my old friend, please forgive me for asking me aloud. What about your so-called alliance? I have not seen any of those Avengers."

Magneto also asked his own question to him in confusion as he introduced the current situation to his old friend.

"Our allies are on the way here, and if you're a little patient, I think we can wait."

"To be honest, Charles. I don't think it would be a good thing for you to pull those Avengers in. They are outsiders after all, and the leader is a symbol of the US government. How can you ensure that they have thorough goodwill towards us rather than unpredictable intentions?"

At this time, Magneto was already talking about his concerns. In his opinion, this was completely the mutant's own business. It was definitely not a good thing for them to join the group of superheroes who had worked with the government, and it might even bring them a very serious disaster.

But Charles just shook his head and said with such thoughts.

"My friend, your thoughts are actually unnecessary. Captain Steve is a man of noble character. He has long guessed that you will be wary of them, so before coming here, he contacted me and took the initiative to let go of his spiritual defense and let me check his thoughts."

"Have you checked?" As soon as he heard this, Magneto asked immediately. He didn't care about the captain's morality, he only cared about the final examination result. Looking at his firm look, he wanted to know the answer, Charles sighed deeply.

"You haven't changed much, Eric."

"This is my nature, and it is this nature that has led me to come to the present with so many compatriots who have been persecuted." He lowered his head and looked at Professor Charles with deep eyes. Eric repeated again. "Have you checked?"

"Of course, this is related to the survival of our race, and all the principles cannot be maintained." Shaking his head, Charles continued. "I checked his thoughts, and I have to say that it is purely admiring me. His view of good and evil and his self-firmness are hard to imagine. It is difficult for me to confirm that he is really a human!"

"What, do you think he is an alien?"

"No, I mean he is one of the few saints in the world. He is not selfish, specialized in benefiting others, has a firm belief and is almost unshakable. I think a person like him will definitely be a famous noble knight who is said to be respected and worshipped by people."

Speaking of Captain Steve, Charles almost did not hide his admiration for him. This made Magneto even more strange. It was hard for him to believe that anyone would be so respected by Charles. Because in front of Charles, almost no one could cover up his true face. How big is the gap between a person's inner and outer appearance? This is something that smart people dare not think about. Because sometimes, the dirty thoughts in a person's heart may even be more profound and terrifying than any darkness.

So, after hearing so many words, Magneto couldn't help but say.

"It's incredible. Is this Captain America really as amazing as you said?"

"A person who can abandon his life to face an invincible enemy, and a person who is willing to sacrifice himself in order not to threaten the innocent. Such a person is definitely worthy of my description of him like this."

Charles was still right, and this made Magneto more interested in him.

"I really want to learn more about the Mr. Rogers you mentioned and see if he is as powerful as you said."

"The deeper you know him, the more you will discover the glory of his human nature. He is not a god, but he is more like a human being than anyone, almost perfect." At this point, Charles suddenly raised his head. "Time is just right, and they have come!"

The figure of the Kun-style fighter plane appeared in the air, landing little by little with the howling wind. As the rear door of the cabin opened, they had already seen the figure walking out of it.
