006. The Road of the Fire Sword
Rejecting the old mother's introduction to the boy, Bai Xingwen said that he would add another subsidy, and the old nun smiled and closed her mouth, not mentioning anything to take away another child or something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soon little Elizabeth packed her luggage, mainly because she had nothing to do, she only took a small backpack, and stood timidly beside the nun.
"Go, child, may the Lord bless you!" the old lady pushed the shy little girl standing beside her, and little Elizabeth slowly walked to Bai Xingwen's side and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Bai Xingwen also felt warm in his heart when he saw this scene, patted the little girl's head gently, and walked outside with little Elizabeth, who grabbed the corner of her clothes.
At the door of the orphanage building, Bai Xingwen took out a large amount of euros and dollars from Mexico from his pocket, and the old mother smiled when she saw the money, and it was not strange why Bai Xingwen carried such a large amount of cash with him.
"Oh, thank you so much, I really don't know what to say!" The old lady put the cash into the bag that had been prepared on the side, and shook hands with Bai Xingwen with a smile.
"Wanda, oh, little Elizabeth, you must be obedient and obedient with this gentleman in the future!" It seems that the nun does not remember Bai Xingwen's name at all, and it is estimated that only money is her god.
Regardless of what the nun would do with the money, Bai Xingwen took Elizabeth, who was still timid, to the rented car.
"Little guy, can you tell me a little bit about you?" Bai Xingwen squatted down again and looked at Elizabeth seriously.
"Okay, yes, sir, no, no, it's Daddy?" Like a frightened little rabbit, little Elizabeth was not too accustomed to this man, but thinking that she would be with this handsome uncle in the future, she felt that it was also a good thing, poor Pietro, he should be well.
Just like Bai Xingwen didn't know that the little girl in front of him was the future Scarlet Witch, he also didn't know that Quicksilver had already been taken away, according to Elizabeth's memory, when he was just sent to the orphanage, several uncles were led to the orphanage by Sister Anna, and Sister Anna took them away a few boys, including her brother, but the relationship between the brother and sister was not very good at that time, and the two who had just lost their parents were left with only confusion.
"Dad?haha, you can call me Aven, or Master, you don't need to call Father. Bai Xingwen touched Elizabeth's soft hair, and felt that the little girl in front of him was a little overlapping with the person he liked very much in his previous life.
Although things are not perfect (Bai Xingwen thinks that the Scarlet Witch was not found), it took him a long time to get to Sokovia to be able to return to the United States with a cute little "oil bottle" to continue to do what he wanted to do.
"I'm 11 years old. Little Elizabeth put the small bag on the seat and followed into the car, Bai Xingwen nodded at her from the rearview mirror in affirmation.
"I also have an older brother who was adopted a long time ago. Bai Xingwen thought it was quite a coincidence when he heard this, Scarlet Witch had a younger brother, and his little Elizabeth had an older brother.
Bai Xingwen didn't seem to know that the movie version of Quicksilver was his brother's change.
"Oh, yes, do you want to be with him again?" Bai Xingwen asked, looking at the little girl.
"No, I hope he can live happily in someone else's house. The little girl did not see that her brother had been taken away first and ignored her own unpleasantness, and Elizabeth was quite mature in thinking not to cause any more trouble to this kind uncle. In addition, Pietro laughed at her when he left, after all, it was a little girl who was only 11 years old, and Elizabeth didn't want to meet him again.
"So, let's get ready to leave, before we do something, let's do a little bit of something!" Bai Xingwen said to Elizabeth with a smile.
Although it is still a few years before the plot in Sokovia, it is prepared, since you are here, I don't know if there will be time to make some arrangements in Sokovia next time, so let's prepare first.
Remembering that when Ultron raised Sokovia, the whole Sokovia happened to be a relatively regular circle, which simply created a very good condition for Bai Xingwen, and he still had to draw a huge circle, and he didn't know if someone would accidentally erase it or something after painting.
Bai Xingwen drove around Sokovia for a week. During this period, sometimes I went down to draw something on the ground, and sometimes I nailed a few stones into the ground, these things Bai Xingwen did not do on Elizabeth's back, and the little Elizabeth who had just left the orphanage was also very energetic, curiously watching Bai Xingwen get out of the car and do something every time he walked a while.
Bai Xingwen would say something to Elizabeth every time he got out of the car and came back, such as this is the seat of the kingdom and the seat of wisdom, but Elizabeth didn't understand, Bai Xingwen didn't explain anything, and he didn't care if she understood.
Bai Xingwen stopped the car in front of a steakhouse and decided to settle dinner here.
"Do you remember what you told you on the road?" Bai Xingwen looked at Elizabeth with some curiosity, but little Elizabeth seemed to be a scholar.
"Remember, do you need me to memorize it again?" said Elizabeth, thinking that this was a test for her, so she said cautiously.
"No, no, no!" Bai Xingwen was surprised, the little girl he chose at random had this potential, which made him a little surprised, "You did a good job, so do you understand?"
"I don't really understand, but if Evan can explain it to me again, I think I can understand it. The little girl smiled sweetly at Bai Xingwen, and then realized that she had said a lot, and lowered her head a little shyly.
Bai Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the little girl didn't understand, if she was too talented, there would be a problem, but fortunately, this little girl was still a normal person.
"So, when I get back to the United States, I'll teach you this, by the way, do you think what I'm talking about is interesting?
Bai Xingwen thought that although alchemy is a very powerful science, if little Elizabeth is not interested, he doesn't want to force it, looking at Elizabeth like a little angel at this moment, his heart to turn her into a second scarlet witch is light, and he wants to fulfill his responsibility to take away the girl.
"It's funny, I think some things are very similar to the teachings that the old grandmother taught us!" Elizabeth felt that what Bai Xingwen was talking about seemed to be an extension of the Orthodox doctrine that the old mother taught her to believe, which also filled her with interest in exploring.
"That's good. I feel that the atmosphere between the girl and herself is much more lively than before, and Bai Xingwen is also very happy.
I ordered a children's set meal for Elizabeth, ordered 300g of beef ribs by myself, and accompanied by a bottle of red wine recommended by the restaurant, Bai Xingwen began to settle dinner.
The food gradually made the two people more harmonious, and the orange lights of the restaurant made the one one look particularly warm.

Meanwhile, at the public orphanage, Sister Anna returned to her room and pulled out her mobile phone to dial a number that she hadn't touched for a long time.
"Hey, yes, there's a Mexican here today, but it looks like it's British. ”
Well, he took Wanda and donated a sum of money to the orphanage. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Sister Anna put the phone back in her pocket, her face relieved.
No one knows what the other side of the phone said in the end.
The two stayed in Sokovia for one night, returned to Belgrade the next day, returned the car to the car rental company, and took a taxi to the airport with Elisabeth.
Elizabeth, who was on a plane for the first time, was a little nervous, and pulled the corner of Bai Xingwen's clothes like yesterday. Bai Xingwen looked at the little girl so well-behaved, and his heart was also very warm.
After returning to Tijuana from Belgrade, Bai Xingwen decided to take a trip to Malibu Beach in Los Angeles, after all, the U.S. visa problem can be solved by some people, so there is no need to do it yourself.
Air France's flight time is not bad, you can return to Tijuana after two transfers for 24 hours, Bai Xingwen still bought two first-class cabins, this time the A380 first-class cabin can choose a suite, Bai Xingwen decisively chose a suite to enjoy. Although nothing happened during the trip to Sokovia, driving can be very tiring.
Bai Xingwen and Elizabeth went through the security check together, and then boarded the plane in the shuttle bus, the suite was very good, and the two comfortable seats could be transformed into a large bed, which made the long-distance flight easier.
Elizabeth chose the position by the window, and Bai Xingwen naturally sat by the door. The flight attendant delivered a blanket and some snacks in time, and Bai Xingwen happily accepted it for the little girl.
The cute little girl is really very attractive, especially Bai Xingwen bought Elizabeth a princess-style dress in Belgrade before getting on the plane, and the black and white lace skirt makes Elizabeth's face still have a shy red color.
There was no one around, after all, the first class cabin may not be full every time, and after waiting for takeoff, the plane flew smoothly, and Bai Xingwen decided to teach Elizabeth some knowledge.
"Elizabeth, just remember what you are talking about for yourself. Bai Xingwen's somewhat serious tone made Elizabeth also sit down solemnly and look at Bai Xingwen.
"Have you ever heard of alchemy?" Bai Xingwen said. After finishing speaking, Bai Xingwen suddenly had the illusion that when he returned to Huaguo Street, an aunt took your hand and asked you, "Friend, do you know the Bible?"
"Alchemy?!" Elizabeth was a little surprised, after all, I grew up with a formal science education, and if you suddenly say that I can do magic, then I will also think that you are lying like Dr. Strange.
"Ancient chemistry and philosophy, right?" asked Elizabeth rhetorically.
"It's not so much chemistry as a philosophy, a truth. Alchemy is a means of searching for the truth and attaining oneness. Bai Xingwen blurred a circle in the air with his hand, and a little flame suddenly appeared in the center of the circle, making Elizabeth look curious and shocked.
"This, this is alchemy?" said Elizabeth, looking at the flames floating in mid-air, and wanted to touch them with her fingers curiously.
Bai Xingwen reached out to the flames and grabbed it, and his hand just grabbed Elizabeth's outstretched fingers.
Elizabeth felt that Bai Xingwen's palm was hot, and she withdrew her finger in shyness.
"Do you remember what we talked about on the road?" Bai Xingwen looked at the shy Elizabeth and nodded, and then said: "What we said on the road is the ten primordial essences, connecting them one by one. As he spoke, Bai Xingwen outlined two triangles in the air, overlapping each other to form a six-pointed star.
A second hexagram is outlined within the hexagram.
In the two overlapping six-pointed stars, ten rings are drawn on the left and right and the middle four.
The ten rings are each dyed with ten different colors, representing ten different primordial qualities.
Around the ten primordial substances, a black snake wraps around them.
A line connecting the ten primordial elements in turn gradually widened, and flames erupted, and a sword hilt appeared at the top.
Elizabeth looked at these pictures that appeared in mid-air with a look of surprise, and Bai Xingwen looked at her at this time and said to her.
"This is the tree of life from man to god, from god to man, and alchemy is the path of the sword of fire to the pinnacle and the crown. ”
