Chapter 656: The Beginning of the Mutation
The next day, London, England.
Kama Taj's temple in London, England, looks like a very aristocratic manor from the outside, and it is indeed a little more imposing than New York and Hong Kong.
No way, most of the mages here are made up of British natives, who claim to be so-called British gentlemen, and pay more attention to the arrangement and enjoyment of life. But this also led to the fact that among the three major temples, their combat effectiveness was the most useless.
And because of this, the Supreme Mage didn't like to see it very much. Gu Yi is a person who lives a relatively simple life and insists on cultivating a noble character like a saint, so some people are not used to the nobles here. But if Evenson were to say, there should be one more.
Although this is the homeland of the Ancient One, the Ancient One was a Celtic, but the mages here are all Saxons, so... Everybody gets the idea.
But that's the thing, after all, people have lived to the ancient one, and they have already seen the vicissitudes of the world very lightly, at most, there is just a small thorn in her heart, and she is not too distant.
Inside the manor, like other temples, a large area of practice is essential, but unlike in Hong Kong, it is not a large bluestone slab floor, but a green meadow, and there are many places in the middle where flowers are planted, spaced out into pieces, in their words, this looks more stylish.
And on the side of this meadow, Claire was leading a Chinese woman with black hair in a shawl, casually walking, "Watson, are you still used to living here?"
That's right, the woman who was with Claire was Holmes' partner Watson, and the two of them had been assigned directly to the London Temple since they were recommended by Evenson to Kama Taj for experimental further study.
"I'm used to it, the people here are very... Solicitous. Watson pondered his words and replied reluctantly. In fact, the living conditions here are indeed very good, but the daily routine afternoon tea and the occasional drinking party make her feel very uncomfortable, in fact, even Sherlock Holmes, an Englishman, can no longer stand it.
"That's good. Claire still didn't hear the unspeakable words, but nodded and said, "You are international students recommended by Evenson, if you are not well entertained, it will inevitably make people say that we are rude and do not know how to be hospitable." β
"We are so grateful. Watson lowered slightly, whether it was true or not, the politeness he should have had to show. But then she looked around and asked a little strangely, "Didn't that gentleman come with you?"
Evenson arranged for Holmes and Watson to come to Kama Taj to study, which naturally went through Claire's way, so they naturally knew that the guests wanted Evenson, but this time they only saw Claire, and Evenson said that they came together, but they didn't even show their faces until now, so Watson was a little curious about this.
"He," a helpless smile appeared on Evenson's lips, "When he came back, Master Margani seemed to be a little disrespectful to him, a Germanic American, and now he is probably being taught to think about life in his room." β
This Master Margani was the leader of the London Temple, but although he converted to Kama Taj, he still maintained the status of an English nobleman from the outside world, and it is said that he also carried the titles of Lord of England and Earl of the Netherlands, and the land used by the London Temple is the hereditary land of their family. However, he also abides by the rules and does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and has never used spells to make things for himself in the outside world.
But after all, there is this identity, so he certainly has a natural sense of superiority over Germanic people, especially Germanic people born in the United States. In fact, if Clay hadn't been of the same age as him, and he was afraid that Olivan would have compared him with him from time to time, he would have dared to maintain a proud attitude towards Claire.
No, Evenson and Claire had just arrived at the London Temple, and he greeted them out of the friendship of the landlords, but his face was unruly, and he opened his mouth to greet the English high Oxford English, which was a greeting but in fact a show off by the nobles to the peasants.
So Evenson was very upset, and there was the same Oxford English in return, and then they walked aside as if no one was around, and switched between languages and greeted them very politely.
"If you think so, you're going to be disappointed. Claire had seen Evenson's talent for language, so she expected that Evenson would have said that Margani was spurting blood with a small fan, but Evenson came over with a frustrated face.
"No way. Evenson spread his hands awkwardly, "I really can't beat him in classical English." β
Margani wasn't really the kind of straw bale aristocrat who didn't know how to learn, and Evenson was fluent in several languages. And just when Evenson was about to take out the magic weapon of Chinese to clean him up, he suddenly burst out a mouthful of classical English, and from time to time there were some Saxon words from the Lionheart era, which made Evenson dumbfounded all of a sudden, he really didn't expect this old boy to play this trick.
"Alas," Claire sighed, "then his tail will probably reach up to the sky now." She could now imagine Margani's swagger after winning the debate.
"Not really. Evenson shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've cursed him with a language, he can't speak anything but demon language right now, and he's probably in the room with a tongue." β
In fact, there are many pronunciations in demon language, which are not spoken by human pronunciation organs at all, so forcibly speaking will definitely cause tongue cramps. Hmph, I can't help you, I can't get you, dare to play yin with me, can you beat me?
"Ahh Watson. Evenson casually greeted Watson, then looked left and right and asked curiously, "What about your partner?" Just as Watson was curious about why Evenson wasn't with Clea, Evenson was also surprised that Holmes wasn't with Watson's partner.
"He's over there. Watson casually pointed to the side, with a deep helplessness on his face.
Evenson looked over there and was shocked to see that Holmes was now playing handstand, and it was not an ordinary reason, it was a handstand with two fingers, his legs were still coiled together as if he was meditating, and the other hand was pinching a mantra on his chest.
I remember this is England, not India and Nepal, what is he doing, practicing yoga?
Evenson, who really didn't see the doorway, opened his mouth and asked, "What does he mean by doing this?"
"He's inβ" Watson said, spreading his hands, "and feel the peace." β
"He's going to become a monk?" Evenson was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Is it that the energy of the ultimate creature in his body is starting to stir again, and he needs this way to calm down?"
Sherlock Holmes and Watson were injected with the Desperation Virus by Killian at the time, and Evenson apparently said that he helped them eliminate the effect, but secretly helped them retain this power, and sending them to Kama Taj was also an experiment to see if Kama Taj's spell tricks could manipulate the energy of this biotechnology. So when Evenson saw Holmes's strange movements, he took it for granted that there was something wrong with the desperate virus in his body.
"Not really. Watson shook his head, "The effect of the company's potion is very good, the energy in our body has been very stable, and the spell skills here can indeed cast this energy very well, which has also aroused the envy of many mages who don't know the inside story." β
So the lab succeeded... Evenson nodded, but then he asked, "And what is Holmes doing for that?"
"Because... Sheβ" Watson lowered his head and gestured in the other direction.
Evenson looked in the direction, white tables and chairs, parasols, and a cup of Earl Grey tea on the table, where sat a woman, with her legs folded and holding a newspaper, reading carefully.
And the woman seemed to feel very keenly, and not long after Evenson looked over, she folded off a corner of the newspaper and looked at it.
She is really a beauty, with blonde hair with slightly curly hair, delicate facial features and pleated skin, especially the smile she has hooked up with her small mouth slightly to the side, it is really amorous.
"She's..."
"Erin Adler. Before Evenson could finish asking, Claire laughed, and that smile seemed a little gloating, "Of course, she has another more famous name, Jemmy Moriarty. β
"Oh... Hehe..."Evenson also gloated and laughed at this time, "it's the girlfriend who fell in love with Sherlock Holmes and killed each other." β
"Hmm... You're not wrong to say that, the relationship between the two of them is very complicated. Watson accepted Evenson's statement forever, "Anyway, since she appeared, Holmes has felt quiet almost every day." β
In fact, when he first arrived at the London Temple, Holmes was still very non-stop, didn't there be a saying that gold would shine wherever it went. With his fairly handsome appearance, as well as his witty language and brilliant mind, he soon won over London... The title of the pile driver.
But since one day, Moriarty's sudden appearance in the London Temple, Holmes's good days are gone.
This temple mage is also to be current, and some time ago we knew that the economic resources of Hong Kong are mainly supported by Li Lin. And the life in London is so luxurious, there must be a big financier, which naturally goes without saying, this big financier must be Moriarty and the unacceptable economic group behind her.
As we all know, the grievances between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are very deep, and the emotional entanglements are very complicated. At first, Holmes wanted to go up and confront Moriady, but when he thought that the other party had done something to fund the organization that defended the Earth, he didn't know how to speak.
This made him very unhappy in his heart, and what was even more unpleasant was that Moriarty didn't seem to plan to leave after he came, and he didn't greet him, so he kept doing his own thing silently by the side, practicing some unfamiliar spells, drinking afternoon tea or something. But Sherlock Holmes felt that it was inappropriate for him to play as before, but it would be even more inappropriate to stop playing because of this. Who is she? Who is she?
So this back and forth is called a contradiction in his heart, so he has to feel the tranquility every day.
"Why bother..."Evenson rubbed his temples, "Let's just say that we have feelings for each other, and now we are all in the same camp, is it interesting to torture each other like this?"
"Emotional things... Who's right?" Watson sighed.
"Butβ" Evenson suddenly remembered something, and asked Claire, "and who provided the economy over there in New York?"
"We're very serious over there, we collect rent. Claire suddenly pulled up her waist and said proudly, "The history of the United States is short, and when the New York store was established, it occupied a large part of the property, all of which were in the name of Master Olivan, and it will be passed on to me in the future, so we can sell the land and collect the rent enough to live on our own." β
"It turned out to be a big landlord. Evenson was stunned, he didn't expect Claire to be so high, and he was actually a real landlord class.
"By the way, I'll tell you something funny. Claire suddenly rolled her eyes and said with a mysterious smile, "A few years ago, Master Olivan's property in New York, it was a famous murder room, it is said that there were dead people in it, and it was really impossible to rent it, so I thought about selling it altogether, but considering the reputation there, I didn't have much hope for it." β
"But I didn't expect the green sun to come out of the west, and the property was really bought not long after it was posted, and it was paid in full, and the most unusual thing is that the way the person paid the bill was very interesting, it was paid with a gold coin engraved with unknown words, do you say this is interesting?"
"Hehe..."Evenson slapped himself in the face, his facial features were almost together, dare I buy your house?! I said that when I first practiced the soul absorption spell, I reached out and came with several soul crystals, which made me wonder why, it turned out to be haunted inside!
But just as Evenson was indignant, there was a sudden silence around them, and Watson, who had been standing beside them, was now looking around with a confused look, as if Evenson and the others had suddenly disappeared.
"Space displacement, mirror world. Evenson's eyes glanced to one place, and Supreme Mage Gu Yi stood with his hands in his hands.
"You guys really make it easy for me to find..."Gu Yi is now angry in his heart, at that time Evenson said okay, he was going to talk to Claire alone, and he was still honestly waiting, but when he looked back, he saw that the person was gone, and it hadn't been a few days, you are letting me play with pigeons?!
However, the Supreme Mage who was angry in his heart, after seeing Evenson, immediately removed most of the anger in his heart, "What's the matter with your kid's face, why is there such a big slap print?"
A big red slap print, covering Evenson's entire face vertically, Gu Yi didn't laugh at that time, even if she was extremely self-contained.
"I called it myself, can you control it?!" Evenson said angrily, blaming himself for using too much force just now, "I don't know what happened to Your Excellency Supreme Mage, why did you suddenly come here this time and pull us into the mirror space?"
But I didn't expect the ancient one to directly say something that shocked Evenson: "The stars have returned, Laleiye's mutation has begun, I must go there to ensure that this mutation process ends smoothly, I hope to be able to bring Claire with me." β
"It's... Just go?" Evenson chuckled in his heart, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it came, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, after all, Lalaye was not a good place.
"Don't worry about me. Claire gave Evenson a reassuring smile, "This is the path I have chosen, and I want to practice it." β
"That's... All right. Evenson looked at Clea's resolute appearance, and couldn't bear to contradict her, so he had to agree. But he still whispered in her ear, "I'll put a sign on you, contact me as soon as you have something, and I'll pull you back immediately." β
"yes, I see. Claire nodded, then kissed Evenson lightly on the lips. Then he resolutely walked to the side of the ancient one.
And the Ancient One, who had already opened the portal and was about to take Claire in, suddenly turned around when he was leaving, and threw something to Evenson, "This is my token, in order to prevent possible changes in the future, I have ordered Kama Taj to enter martial law, and all the mages holding it in the London Temple must obey your orders." β
Evenson looked at the token in his hand and suddenly frowned, "You mean that Raleiye's mutation may affect this?"
"Nope. The Ancient One denied, "I'm talking about other mutations, I said a long time ago that the place where the stars return will affect not only Lalaye, but..." she reached out to the sky and pointed "Asgard, when the stars return to their positions, the separation between the Nine Realms will become very fragile, and it is easy to cause ripples in other dimensions, and some places will even overlap together." β
"And here in the UK, it's a weak point within a weak point, so I hope you can help these children deal with these problems. β
