Chapter 818
It's a great view, it's a grand seat, don't you say, Claire?"
Not far from the street where the battle took place, there is a magnificent building, and if you sit on the upper floor, you can overlook the townscape there. This is one of the most prestigious restaurants in the area, and you're here early! Evenson and Claire are here at half past eight in the evening.
But due to the time difference between New York and Hong Kong, they have been waiting here for a long time. Fortunately, the food here is still very good, and the restaurant is also closed, not only are there no customers except Evenson, but even the chef and waiters and the restaurant owner are gone after the food is served.
Of course, this was arranged by Li Lin, the head of the local snake, and she ordered a boss named Da D to charter the entire hotel. Although this person is usually a little arrogant and arrogant, he is a thorn, but Li Lin, as the leader of the stick, he still has to give face to let him charter a hotel, otherwise he will directly start fighting.
"There's something I want to tell you about now, that Cleya. Evenson watched the battle in the street, and while he was speechless, for some reason, Claire kept a cold face and didn't say a word to him. So after much deliberation, he decided to tell Claire about it, "Today... Oh, if you count the jet lag, it would have been yesterday, Your Excellency Supreme Mage..."
"Has it fallen?" Claire's eyes darkened.
"You already know?" Evenson nodded, "but you don't seem surprised at all this time. ”
The Ancient One has existed almost as long as Kama Taj's history, and people have long accepted her immortality. And firmly believe that now, in the future, even if he has turned into a handful of loess, the Supreme Master will still last forever!
Therefore, the fall of the Ancient One is something they usually don't even think about, not to mention that this person who they regard as having reached the peak of the world in strength will be killed in battle.
If you say this kind of thing, you may be surprised to jump up, or you may directly think that it is a false statement of madness, but Claire is very calm about it now.
"I have known Her Excellency Supreme Master for a long time, and although this time is only a drop in the ocean for her, it is a lifetime for me. So I still know a little bit about him. Claire lowered her head and clenched her fist, "And now I have accepted the power she has received, and have been entrusted with the task of being in the shadows. ”
"This is only one-half of the position that the Supreme Mage should bear, and I have not officially taken up my duties for a day, and I already feel its weight. So, I can now understand how much pressure she is carrying in her heart hidden behind the easy-going and benevolent exterior. ”
"Actually, I felt it a long time ago, and from the series of arrangements she made, and the tone of her voice, I sensed that he might have thought of seeking death... No, it should be the aspiration to seek liberation and serenity. It's just that at that time, I thought I was too sensitive, thinking that the moment was still very far away, and I didn't expect it to come so suddenly. ”
It is said that women's feelings are much more delicate than men's, and although Evenson is quite delicate, it is only in terms of appearance. He couldn't perceive the Ancient One's thoughts so clearly as Claire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stunned for a moment when Gu Yi died.
But then again, the Ancient One has really had a hard time, and she has always played the role of the guardian of the earth. The only human woman Evenson knows of who has served in a similar role for the longest time is Egwene, the guardian of Tirisfa, but that's only eight hundred years.
And the great power and heavy responsibility have had a great impact on this guardian, and it can even be said that there are some distortions. And the ancient one has been watching for a longer time than Egwen, but she has not become arrogant because of her great power, nor has she been crazy to be tortured by huge pressure, which is really not easy.
Therefore, those guys in the Council of Tirispha, who always change guardians regularly, except for the reason that they don't want the great power to always be in the hands of one person, may not want to free them from their heavy responsibilities and end the curse called guardians.
Alas, this really made Evenson very worried about Claire's future mental health.
"Why didn't you stop her from taking her own short looks, and now you don't grieve about it? ”
"Why stop it? Why be sad?"
Claire looked at Evenson and asked, "Why should I stop her from seeking relief after learning about her hardships? ”
"But if you want to say something sad," Claire suddenly turned her head and looked at Evenson coldly, "There is only one thing worth griefing, and that is that when the Supreme Mage was dying, you were next to her, and you took her soul, right?"
Claire knew Evenson so well that she barely had to think about it to know what Evenson would have done. And she also knew that Evenson's collection of the soul of the Ancient One would definitely not be as simple as wanting to get a spell casting material, but that he wanted to resurrect the Supreme Mage.
Evenson nodded, he finally knew why Claire had been cold to him all night, and hadn't said a word to her, "You... Angry?"
"Yes, I'm angry. But Claire was still calm, which made Evenson feel more intimidating than the Thunder's anger.
It's very uncomfortable to not rain on this cloudy day, and it's nothing to get angry and hit me twice and scold me twice, this kind of abnormal calm shows that the matter is serious, is this the legend... When did you realize such a terrible gift!
"You're really an evil person..."Claire looked at Evenson, tears were already rolling in her eyes, but she just didn't hold on to it, "The Supreme Mage has sacrificed so much for this world, sacrificed for so long, and your actions are forcing her to continue to sacrifice... No, it should be said that you used magnificent language to hold her up on the altar called Guardian of the World as a sacrifice!"
"I... I'm sorry. Evenson lowered her head, to be honest, when she received the soul of the Ancient One, she really only thought about the necessity of this matter and the benefits it could bring, but ignored what impact this matter would have on Claire.
After all, for Claire, the Ancient One is not only the patriarch who guards them, but also a relative... Even the mother!
"If you don't think it's right, I can..."
"No need to stop. Claire raised her hand to stop Evenson, "I'm angry about this, but I know you have your considerations. I don't want to ask for details, but I just ask you to promise me one thing, if you can't..."
At this time, Claire's tears in her eyes finally flowed, "Evenson, I'm afraid I won't be able to face you again." ”
Evenson felt inexplicable heartache when he saw Claire like this, and even felt a chill all over his body, unable to face me, didn't he say that he would never see each other this time?
"What's that? I'll say yes!"
"Don't let her work like that anymore. Claire grabbed Evenson's hands and said earnestly, "Let her learn to enjoy life, so that she can be as idle as the rest of the retired elderly, and stop giving her the heavy responsibilities that are not placed on her." Don't be like the other resurrected one, who is still held back by responsibilities and work today. Let her... You can live happily. Can you do it?"
"I... Promise you, I'll do it. Evenson shook Claire's hand behind her back and nodded busily.
But his heart was full of helplessness, because according to the character of the ancient one, as long as she didn't go to death immediately after she came back to life, she would definitely not be idle. But let's talk about these things later, as long as Claire doesn't say anything like she can't face, you let me treat Gu Yi as my own mother in the future!
But then again, after this man and woman get married, the mother-in-law seems to be a necessary object, so it is not impossible to serve Gu Yi as a mother-in-law in the future.
But... I forcibly found myself a mother-in-law... This kind of thing seems to be a bit of a loss!
"If you can do it, it's good. "Claire wiped her tears, you are really an evil person, and now I can't live without you...
"Ah, let's see the battle over there. Although the two have discussed it now, the atmosphere is still very depressing, so Evenson is in a hurry to change the topic" I didn't expect Li Lin to find such a group of energetic guys to help with the fist, which is really ingenious and surprising. ”
There was a lot of sarcasm in the tone of this speech, if Li Lin heard it, he would definitely be unhappy, what happened to the underworld?
Although Li Lin has a high status among Kama Taj, due to the special nature of his work, she can be regarded as always in a state of wild stocking. Familiar with the underworld than Kama Taj, it is much easier to command that group of Crazy Boys than to command a group of mages.
And in her concept, the underworld is not much different from Kama Taj. You see, they are also dynamic groups that are not officially registered, and the ancient one is the Supreme Mage, so it is still very similar to her in some nature. So Kama Taj is just a bigger, higher-level club!
Besides, the mage practiced every day thinking about how to cut people, but the old boy was not idle, and once a person was the same, he pondered how to cut people every day! And in terms of actual situation, the latter's actual combat experience was even richer.
Of course, in terms of power, the two are really not on the same level. But if it's arranged properly, Crazy Boy can indeed be a surprise soldier.
Although the group of mages in the Hong Kong Temple trained hard and were strong, they could only fight in a daze. And if Casillas is facing a group of mages, he will definitely be ready for a serious battle, so it is needless to say what the result will be.
But Crazy Boy doesn't have to think about it so much, they are all ordinary people. Li Lin knew what ordinary people were like in the eyes of the mage, secular people, low-level existences, could be completely ignored.
To ignore it is to not exist. Everyone knows how much damage a black knife can cause if it is stabbed from a place that does not exist.
The most important thing is that Crazy Boy will never have the so-called glory, reserve, and elegance of a mage, and people are always unscrupulous. If you change to the mage of the Hong Kong Temple, you would never think of pretending to be a drunk and stealing someone's Xuan Ring in advance. He doesn't have the skill to steal even if he wants to!
I won't use the trick of pouring lime powder on people's eyes and pouring cold water, let alone using Molotov cocktails. They can't even think of driving a truck to hit people and throwing objects in the air.
Therefore, it was for these unthinkable reasons that a group of Tricky Boys brought down the female mage who had gained Dormammu's power and was much stronger than the average mage. This is precisely to use the strength and wisdom of the group to make up for the lack of individual strength.
However, it may be that the level of strength is indeed a little worse. The female mage who fell to the ground, after being slashed several times by a group of thugs, suddenly came a set of magic called the Lying Fist on the ground, and snatched the two machetes in a panic, which was a flurry of slashes. Quite a few of them wore colors on their bodies and stepped back.
One person is desperately unable to stop her, and now this female mage belongs to this situation, so none of these gangsters dare to step forward easily and just surround her in the middle.
"See how long you can hold on, and the brothers will hack her to death when he can't support it anymore. ”
Now the female mage may not last long, lime powder and cold water and then thrown Molotov cocktails, her hair is completely scorched, her eyes are blind, and her face is ruined. And when he was lying on the ground just now, he was stabbed several times, and the wound is still bleeding ticking.
She knew that she might not live long, but how could she be resigned? She was only one step away from the great cause, but she was plotted to death by a group of despicable and shameless mortals? This was unacceptable in any way! So although she could not see it now, she knew that there were enemies all around her, so she wiped it on her waist, and in an instant threw out a row of darts, and immediately several people were lying on the ground.
"Miao Zaiqiang, it's your turn!"
"Okay!" A black man with a strange accent ran over, he was still wearing a big silver earring on his ear, and he was carrying a hemp bag on his shoulder, so thinking of his strange accent just now, it could be thought that he should be a Miao man, "You dare to use a secret weapon, I will let you taste the power of my Miao Jiang's five poisons!"
As he spoke, he stretched open the hemp bag behind his back and threw it forward, which was a lot of poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, etc., which directly drenched the female mage.
There was no need to struggle with this one, and she immediately blackened and pushed to the ground.
"Brothers, go up and have a knife for one person, everyone has a share, no one wants to run!"
This should be regarded as a chaotic dismemberment. But as soon as they had eliminated the female mage, they heard a loud noise in the distance, and they turned their heads to see that the tall ancient building on the street had suddenly collapsed.
At this time, the night became even darker, and some strange purple balls of light appeared, as if the sky had suddenly been pierced.
"It's so beautiful..."At this time, Casillas walked over slowly, but one of his arms was already as thin as a chicken's paw for some reason, and it was still twisted at a strange angle, and there was blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and if you looked closely, his right chest had collapsed a little.
But he completely ignored these pains, just looked at the sky with obsessive eyes, "This is so beautiful, the Great Lord has come, Milia I have done it, we will finally reach the agreed place!"./2_2968/
