Chapter 511: A Deal with Demons (I)

The first day passed like this, and after the battle of the Sandar Temple, everyone's spirit and body had reached their limits, and they had to be corrected.

Doctor Strange has been meditating and immersing himself in the wisdom of the ancient Supreme Mage.

Doctor Doom showed the utmost respect for this, and he instructed his servants not to disturb the meditating Venerable, and he went to prepare.

Only the one-armed old housekeeper and Li Kang were together, drinking coffee in the living room.

After a while, Doctor Strange also came out, his face was very bad, Li Kang handed over a cup of strong coffee and added two more pieces of sugar.

Doctor Strange took a sip of it, he sighed with satisfaction, and then said without a long heart, "I really regret it now, helping an ambitious dictator, this is not what a Supreme Mage should do, and I searched the memories of the Ancient One, and found that his mother Cynthia, who was also a very cruel black magician, caused the death of thousands of innocent people at that time, what if she was a bad person? After all, she signed a contract with the demon Mephisto, maybe she deserved to go to hell." ”

Li Kang was taken aback in his heart, it turned out that Doctor Strange had been meditating for so long to explore this memory.

Before Li Kang could react, the one-armed old butler suddenly stood up, his eyes erupted with angry flames, and he held a dagger in one hand and aimed it at Doctor Strange's chest, "You..... How dare you say bad things about Cynthia?Beautiful, kind Cynthia, she just saw that we were oppressed too cruelly, that's why she would.... She's going to hell for us, and if you dare to use your bitch mouth to say half a bad word about Cynthia, I'll fight you right now!"

No one thought that this one-armed old butler, who usually spoke kindly and drizzled, and rarely showed any dissatisfaction on his face, would be so impulsive, this dagger was stained with blood, and at first glance, it had been many years, and the blood on it had faded, but the blade of the dagger was still sharp.

Li Kang saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately jumped up and snatched the dagger, the moment he touched the dagger, his heart thumped twice, this dagger itself is not anything special, what is really wrong is the blood on it, which contains an incomparably strong black magic energy, and this kind of black magic energy, he is still very familiar with it, there are traces of Mephisto in it.

"Haha....." Li Kang smiled awkwardly, sensing that the black magic had never happened at all, he tried to appease the one-armed old butler, "This is your mistake, this is a guest invited by Dr. Doom, to tell you the truth, we are here to save Cynthia this time." ”

The one-armed old butler looked at Li Kang in amazement, he pinched his fingers and calculated, "It's actually this day again, during this time of year, the master will lock himself up alone, and no one will see him, until he summons him, every time he comes out, the master is dying, alas, I know he wants to save Cynthia, but fighting with the demon king... I'm really, really worried about him. ”

He wiped the corner of his eye with his sleeve, then pointed a remote control at the wall above the fireplace, and the wall slowly opened, revealing an oil painting of a strikingly beautiful gypsy woman holding a bouquet of four-leaf clover, smiling at it.

"This is Cynthia, our master's mother," the one-armed old butler took the coffee pot from the fire, poured three cups of coffee, and then looked at the painting with tears in his eyes, "After the master took the Destruction Castle, he drew this portrait from memory, although it was a little off, but it was also ninety percent similar." ”

Li Kang beckoned Doctor Strange to sit down, this is a good opportunity to learn about Doctor Destruction's past, if Doctor Strange still has any doubts in his heart, when facing Mephisto in the future, he will definitely be used by the Demon King, then the old fox will not let go of any flaws.

The one-armed old butler stared at Cynthia's portrait as he slowly recounted those troubled days.

Thirty years ago, Latvia was ruled by the old king, who was a brutal racist who always contemptuously described the Gypsies as lazy stray pigs, stinky rats who stinking petty thieves, often attacked Gypsy villages without any reason, and captured men in nickel mines.

In this regard, it is exactly the same as the Japanese Gunkanjima, nominally it is said that there is a salary, but in fact, it is all deducted from the name of food, accommodation and so on, which is not counted, and sometimes, the old king will send his subordinates to artificially create mining disasters.

The fate of women and children is even more tragic, they will not only become the playthings of the nobles, but sometimes the nobles will hold large-scale hunting operations, and these women and children will be treated as prey, and the nobles will be killed for fun.

When Doctor Strange heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "If it's so cruel, doesn't the international community, those human rights organizations, have any reaction?"

The old butler smiled bitterly, he sighed and said, "You are really a naΓ―ve person, let's put it this way, in World War II, the Gypsies were killed by the Germans no less than the Jews, but people all over the world sympathize with the Jews, and the Gypsies have been reported by anyone? I'm afraid people like you should not know that the Gypsies were also the targets of the purges of the Third Reich." ”

Doctor Strange was silent for a moment, and then he whispered, "You mean that no one cares?"

The old butler took a sip of coffee and did not answer, it was Li Kang who answered this question, "When the old king sold seventy percent of the country's resources to American energy companies, he was an international celebrity and a hero touted by the Americans. ”

Doctor Strange was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, "What did you just say? How can such a person become a hero?

"Yes, it's hell," Li Kang sneered, and he continued, "because the old king received a lot of Jews in addition to a large number of fleeing gypsies, so ah, he became a humanitarian hero, a hero who saved tens of thousands of Jews who were hunted down by the Germans, which was a bad debt, not a big deal." ”

"How could this not be important?" said Doctor Strange, standing up dissatisfied.

"Because it's all gone!!" the old butler slapped the table hard, "we now finally have our own home, we can live and work in peace, we can sleep at night with our eyes closed, there is no need for anyone in the village to keep vigil, there is no need to be ready for dry food at any time, we don't have to worry about the old king's men rushing in in the middle of the night and slitting our throats, we can rest assured that we can build a good house boldly, instead of making do with a broken carriage for a lifetime, we finally don't have to worry about someone coming to burn us." ”

"That's right, so it's not important," Li Kang nodded, "Suffering belongs to the past, and the future is the most important, but old man, you don't want to have those who don't, can you say something important." ”

The one-armed old butler rubbed the shoulder of the broken arm, and he put the broken arm in the direction of the fire, and when it rained on a cloudy day, the wound would become sour and unbearable, and it would have to be roasted for a long time to be relieved.

At that time, the gypsies lived this life of pigs and dogs, with no hope, let alone a future.

However, Dr. Doom's father, the young Dr. Du Mu, was an outlier among the Gypsies, a learned doctor who had served as an attending physician in the most prestigious international hospitals, and later stayed in Latvia because of love.

Because of his excellent medical skills, Dr. Du Mu was valued by the old king, and he was often summoned to treat diseases, so the village where Dr. Du Mu was located was the least attacked.

But as a result, more Gypsies settled here, and gradually the village became a small town.

At that time, Xiao Du Mu had also grown into an outstanding teenager, and he was twelve years old at that time.

Although he lived in extreme poverty, he lived happily ever after, but all this ended that night.
