Chapter 3394

The high tower was as bustling as ever. Every Schiller had his own things to be busy with. Greed walked through the corridor all the way, came to the floor where Moon was, and as expected, saw the skeleton falcon head Khonshu in the room of the asylum.

"Are you the only one here?" Greed said curiously.

The bird beak clicked twice. Schiller understood what he meant: Moon went out by himself and didn't take him. Wasn't this a coincidence? It seemed he didn't need to make a move at all, and Khonshu had no choice.

"Who did he go out with?" Schiller asked again.

Khonshu pointed to the ground with his staff. Schiller said with some surprise: "It wouldn't be manipulation, would it?"

Khonshu nodded.

"Alright, it seems you have to work with me for this period of time."

Khonshu shook his head.

"What? You don't want to work? Do you want to eat for free in my spiritual world?" Schiller narrowed his eyes.

But he didn't expect Khonshu to walk over, circle around him, the flames in the skeleton eye sockets jumped, shook his head, and sighed.

"What do you mean by this?" Schiller said very dissatisfied, "Do you think I'm too weak?"

"Your understanding of power is too superficial!" Schiller said with a pained heart, "Do you think only those who can fight are strong?"

Khonshu nodded.

Schiller sighed helplessly and said: "Most things in this world still require using the brain. Brain, understand?"

"Then why did you come to find me?" Khonshu asked the key question, and Schiller was speechless.

He came to find Khonshu, not only because he wanted to play Moon Knight, but mainly because he really needed some combat power guarantee. How could a street hero not know how to fight?

But for Pride and Greed, fighting, especially close-quarters combat, was indeed their weakness. Although they mocked Stark for not knowing how to fight every day, the fighting skill level of Greed and Stark without a mecha was about the same.

Although fighting didn't matter whether there were skills or not, as long as you could win, people with strong fighting skills would be cooler. This was the most important mystery of street heroes.

Similarly, in close-quarters combat, Captain America and Natasha would be cooler when fighting, because their fighting skills were very strong and they had their own styles.

Peter was weaker in this regard, because he hadn't received professional fighting training. However, his speed was fast, his flexibility was strong, and his movements had a very strong biomimetic style, which looked okay.

As for Iron Man wearing a mecha, that wasn't his fighting style at all, but Jarvis's. And he usually didn't use close-quarters combat to suppress enemies, but used the mecha's mobility to harass from a distance.

Logically speaking, Schiller could also choose to be a long-range hero, throwing magic or something from a distance. But unfortunately, the first two owners of the Moon Knight identity were all melee fighters, so it wasn't very good to suddenly change the style when it came to him.

And he also blamed Moon for setting the tone too high. Schiller suspected that Danny had seen Moon fight, which was why he liked the hero Moon Knight so much.

To be fair, Moon's close-quarters fighting style was indeed very unique, showing a special kind of coldness. It was impossible for Greed to imitate this style, but if the combat power wasn't enough, special effects would make up for it. With Khonshu, at least the Moon special effects were the same.

After listening to Greed's vision, Khonshu hesitated and said: "If it's just some street criminals, maybe it's really possible. But if you face Mephisto, I have no way to help you."

"I won't face Mephisto, and he won't want to face me either." Schiller explained, "I just want to find out who has been inciting Danny to oppose Mephisto. You only need to help me maintain the image of Moon Knight, and I can solve the rest myself."

In the end, Greed and Khonshu reached an agreement. Khonshu was responsible for using magic to help Schiller maintain the image of Moon Knight and provide some magic assistance in battle, and Schiller solved the rest himself.

As a superhero, of course, one must have one's own base, and it must have one's own style. For example, Stark's laboratory for Iron Man, the Sanctum Sanctorum for the Sorcerer Supreme.

Next, Schiller had to get this done.

Schiller had obtained a house before, which was plucked from Father Brad in the Pale Knight universe. A house that could appear on the same street in every universe was very much in line with the mysterious style of Moon Knight.

But the problem was that this house could only appear in the DC universe. DC's demons didn't have the ability to manage Marvel's affairs. So if he wanted a similar house, he still had to find Marvel's administrator.

Schiller came to the Temple of Eternity, and seeing that Eternity's days had been going well lately, the Temple of Eternity hadn't been destroyed for a long time.

In the center of the Temple of Eternity, the incarnation of Eternity floated quietly in the air. As soon as Schiller approached, he heard a majestic voice sound.

"Traveler of the star realm, why have you come?"

"Transfer to manual."

"You can rest here, or you can embark on the journey again."

"Transfer to manual!"

"The radiance of order always shines upon you."

"I am Schiller, transfer to manual!!!"

Eternity woke up with a start. Schiller was speechless; it turned out your keyword wasn't "manual" but "Schiller".

"Ahem." Eternity cleared his throat and said, "There have been many visitors lately, and I had to turn on automatic reply. What's the matter?"

Schiller briefly stated his intention and then said: "I can handle the house myself, but I need you to give me the permission to summon it in any single universe."

"This isn't managed by me, you have to find Infinity. She is the embodiment of the sum of cosmic space."

"I don't care, you guys discuss it yourselves. I only want the result."

Eternity was clearly a bit helpless, but he still communicated with a certain existence in the void, and then gripped lightly in the air, and a blue cone appeared in his hand.

"After you build the house, put this thing on it and select the range yourself. The larger the area you draw, the more energy it will take to summon."

Schiller took the blue cone, put it away, and prepared to leave. Eternity even asked: "What are you going to do?"

"What?"

"What are you doing this for?"

"I want to investigate some things." Schiller waved his hand and just wanted to leave, but felt that if he didn't explain clearly, they would definitely misunderstand and then cause a lot of trouble, so he briefly explained his plan.

"You said you want to deal with Mephisto?" Eternity's tone carried a bit of curiosity, and he said, "How did he offend you?"

"When did I say I wanted to deal with Mephisto?" Schiller covered his forehead and said, "I want to stop Danny from dealing with Mephisto, and investigate the matter behind this by the way."

Eternity clearly didn't believe it. Schiller was too lazy to persuade him. If he could go and tip off Mephisto, it would be even better, letting this old devil restrain himself recently, and Danny wouldn't be chasing him relentlessly.

After returning to New York, Schiller began to choose the location of the house.

Actually, since he came to Marvel, he hadn't had a proper residence. Whether it was the clinic or the sanatorium, they were actually office places, just with a bedroom on the second floor.

If he really had to say it, his proper house was really the apartment he rented when he first came to Marvel. Of course, he didn't rent it anymore.

But actually, the location of that apartment was quite good, located in the center of Manhattan, not far from the clinic in Hell's Kitchen, the Presbyterian Hospital, Stark Tower, and the Avengers base.

The corresponding rent was also very expensive. It was impossible for Schiller to spend extra money to rent it, but if he could get it for free, this location was quite good.

Schiller drove around the neighborhood and didn't choose the high-rise apartment area, but chose a commercial street. In one of the small alleys, he selected a building.

Just like Father Brad before, the house wasn't really built in the building, but just virtualized with magic. It was equivalent to opening a small space crack somewhere, and the main body of the house was in the dimension in the crack, which didn't interfere with the real world.

In order to fit the style of Moon Knight, Schiller had to build the house like the palace of some final boss in a game. Entering the door, there was a wide hall, a full moon floated above the fountain in the center, the moon phases changed constantly, reflecting the knight statues wearing hoods on both sides of the hall, flickering. Two spiral staircases led upstairs, one side was the bedroom, and one side was the study.

This dimension was an eternal night full of moonlight, and no matter which window you looked out of, you could only see a night sky and a lonely round moon.

No matter what Schiller thought, Khonshu was very satisfied, with a look of preparing to live here for a long time.

However, Schiller suggested that he had better not do this, because when he stood in the middle of the hall with that skeleton falcon head, it made people unable to help but want to pinch a soul.

After the base was settled, Schiller also needed a weapon. So Khonshu didn't have a weapon.

Schiller held the long staff and waved it in his hand. If he had to choose a melee weapon, Schiller still preferred blunt weapons, and those with more weight, with a stronger sense of impact.

Although Khonshu's weapon was a staff, it was indeed an excellent blunt weapon. It was long enough and heavy enough, and the key was that the front of the staff was in the shape of a new moon, equivalent to an anti-riot fork, with strong functionality.

After getting everything done for the superhero, Schiller still had the most important thing to do, which was to ask for leave.

Although most people were immersed in the two-player dungeon now, Schiller still had to notify them that he didn't have time recently, to prevent them from thinking he had disappeared to do something again.

Schiller went to Asgard first and met the substitute Loki here, who looked a bit like President Loki. Schiller left a message and left.

Then it was the Avengers. After Schiller went there, he found that Captain America had returned.

Schiller greeted Steve, who was playing billiards at the billiard table. Steve sighed helplessly when he saw him.

"What's wrong?" Schiller asked.

"Are you going to Stark Tower later?" Steve asked. Schiller didn't understand, so he nodded.

"I advise you not to go lately. Tony is ready to settle accounts with you."

"Settle accounts?" Schiller thought Stark regretted buying the hospital for 80 Doujie Coins. But there were so many people present at that time, and Schiller wasn't afraid of him reneging on his debt.

Bidding farewell to Steve, Schiller headed straight for Stark Tower. Before he even walked into Stark's office, he heard him cursing there.

"Schiller, that damn bastard! He actually sneak-attacked me while I wasn't wearing a mecha!! If it weren't for that, how could I have exited the game early..."
