Chapter 55: The Old Mage is Coming
A new day begins, and Anna opens the door to greet the first customer with joy.
"Hi Anna, here we go again."
"Ah, Miss Tina and Miss Liana. You guys came on time, the new arrived last night. ā
"Oh, really, take it out, take it out."
"Oh my God, Liana, how many times have you all been here? The shopping guide knows the two of you. Jessica and John followed the two little girls into the store.
"Sister Jessica, you're always busy, so I had to take Tina shopping." Liana ran over and shook Jessica's arm and coquettishly coquettished her.
"Tina, the clothes here match yours." John immediately approached Tina's side to offer courtesy.
"Hmm."
"I think this color goes well with your hair color, don't you think?"
"Hmm."
"Wow, this backless shirt is so good for you, you should change into it right away. What do you think? ā
"Get out."
Tina, as usual, expressed her meaning to John simply and clearly. Dejected, John returns to his sister and looks boredly at the side of the street, looking for a beautiful woman.
It just so happened that a lady with a graceful figure walked past the window. The skirt that covers the hips and the deep V collar show the most beautiful parts of women to the fullest.
John immediately pushed open the door and chased him out, and just as he was about to put his hand on the beautiful woman's shoulder for a good communication, a hand was placed on his shoulder in advance.
"Who?" John looked impatiently and saw a bony palm on his shoulder.
"Oh my God." He hurriedly opened his bone hand, and was about to disperse the undead with a large fireball, when he saw the person in front of him.
"Hahaha, little John, how's this surprise?"
"Uncle Alfred?" John looked at the lady behind him and said nervously, and watched him walk away briskly, helplessly turning back to greet the old mage.
"Why are you here?"
"Hey, don't look so listless, in less than 30 years, she'll be about the same as me." The experienced old mage enlightened the **** heart-wrenching John.
"So what, I didn't plan to have sex with her more than 3 times." This kid is completely hopeless.
"Well, you're still young, and you have a chance. I'm here to find Lee, and I happened to see you on the road. Why, come out so early to hunt for beauty? ā
"yes, the only chance is for you to mess it up." John replied weakly.
"Uncle Alfred!" Liana screamed and ran out of the shop and pounced on the old mage.
John thought to himself, no wonder wolves and dogs are close relatives, and they both like bones so much.
Jessica and Tina also stepped out and hugged the old mage one by one.
"Oh, look at our beautiful three little flowers." The old mage wiped the corners of his eyes, and Jessica and the others stopped shopping, and took him back to black and white.
After meeting Lee and Fauber, Alfred began to talk to them in detail about the resolutions of the previous meeting, as well as his own analysis and speculation on the matter.
"Well, that's on the agenda." Li frowned, it seems that this matter cannot be avoided, judging from the content of the meeting, the wizard association has set up a large bureau in Bu, and every big city has set up branches, and it is called a node. It shows that they have played a big game of chess in the whole United States since the earliest days, and some of Master's actions have suspended their actions, and now that Master is gone, this matter will fall on our heads.
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, we can't avoid this matter anyway."
Everyone began to bow their heads and ponder, and the old mage took the lead first: "Why don't we set up a headquarters in another city?" Think of Chicago as a branch, and you can even work with the Wizarding Society. After all, the activities of the various nodes of the wizarding guild are basically to cooperate with local gangs to engage in illegal activities to obtain funds and materials. ā
"Nope." The hot-tempered John objected, "How many years have we worked hard to gain a foothold here, and if we go to another city, we will have to start from scratch, and people will not give up our territory lightly so that we can stand on our feet." ā
Dana also nodded, agreeing with John's opinion, "Not only that, but the slightly larger cities also have nodes of the Wizarding Society, and we still have the possibility of being exposed, so it's not a good way to dodge." ā
"Since we are inferior to the Wizarding Guild in terms of overall strength, why can't we defeat each of them?" Locke suddenly raised a building yƬ.
"Tell me about it." Lee's eyes lit up.
"Everyone knows that I used to be from the Delta, and we have never been superior in numbers, but superior to the enemy in terms of individual ability. This is very similar to our current situation, compared to the number of people and the establishment time, we are not as good as the Wizarding Society, but in terms of personal ability, Lee and John can take out a large number of councilors, and we are not weaker than each other in this regard, and we are even stronger than them in some ways. So why don't we make the most of this? ā
"You mean, the decapitation operation." Lee lowered the hand on his cheek, and a smile appeared on his lips again. Locke nodded through his teeth.
"Well, I'll contact David and ask him to help with some information. We took the initiative to raid the nodes of the Wizarding Society, the main purpose is to kill and injure the councilors, and hit the opponent's living forces, and it doesn't matter whether the nodes are destroyed or not. Dana, Hobbes, you can be most effective in the city, John, your abilities work wonders against soul and dark spells, and the three of you are in charge of the decapitation operation. Uncle Alfred, please give us a little bit of information about each node. ā
The old mage nodded seriously, this time he was going to get serious, he knew that he had been studying all the time, and he didn't have much actual combat experience, so he just clarified his task and tried his best to complete it.
"Tina, Liana, Elder Scott, and werewolves, follow Fauber's command to defend Chicago. If there is an irresistible situation, the priority is to save life. If the territory is gone, we can take it back, and if the people are gone, there will be nothing. ā
Those who were called by name also nodded in understanding, looking at Li's eyes full of trust and a hint of worry. Fu Bo smiled and said: "My old bones are not old enough to move, let me rest assured, although the master is gone, I am not an old slave that a cat or a dog can provoke." ā
Lee nodded, and finally named the remaining people: "Finley, Locke, Jessica, follow me, we have more important things." The person whose name was called looked at him and asked with a puzzled look.
"We went to South America with a James-funded expedition and I felt like there was something important to us. Your abilities will be at ease in the jungle. ā
After a pause, Li looked at everyone firmly and said, "Maybe we are not the best choice for humans, but after seeing the devil in the Los Angeles node, I believe that we must be much better than the guys from the Wizarding Society." ā
Li nodded to the old master and apologized, then continued, "These ordinary people believe in Taoism, believe in doctrines, understand good and evil, and understand how to pursue a happy life on their own. ā
"As for us, aside from our ability to be different from ordinary people, we are all ordinary people with flesh and blood, what is the true meaning that we have been pursuing for so long, and what we are fighting for, I hope you will ask your own heart. I don't want to say anything else, so I dismissed the meeting. ā
Everyone left the room thoughtfully, and Lee stopped the old mage.
"Uncle Alfred, wait a minute." The old mage sat back in his place and looked at Li curiously.
He turned to the bookshelf and put his hand in the gap between the two bookshelves, only to see a ripple appear, and his hand disappeared there, a scene a bit like the original technique in the Grand Canyon.
After fumbling for a while, his hand withdrew again, holding a quaint scroll with a pamphlet underneath.
Looking at the old mage's surprised eyes, Li smiled: "A little trick of the master, for collecting things." If you like, I'll teach you. ā
The old mage waved his hand again and again: "This is your master's spell, my magic system is different from yours, and I can't learn it." ā
"Not necessarily." Li shook the scroll in his hand and handed the old mage the two things to him in anticipatory and disbelieving eyes.
Looking at Li's evil smile, the old mage opened the handscroll first, and a sky-high demonic aura rushed to his face, and the old mage's hair was blown away without the slightest preparation. Alfred hurriedly cast a talisman spell on himself and looked at it carefully. It's a pity that although you can feel the endless dark aura on the handscroll, none of those old mages know the words.
The disgruntled old mage looked up at Lee, and he smiled evilly and pointed to the pamphlet below.
This time the old mage was ready, and he opened the book with the luck of luck, and then.
He was almost angry, and he trembled and pointed at Li, a bad boy, this is simply a translation written by Li himself, and there is no breath at all.
"Hahaha." Li finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Uncle Alfred, don't mind, this scroll is a gift I brought to you from my master's sect, it should have something to do with your magic, and it has some of the author's breath on it, I think it will be helpful to you." That translation was written by me, and the interpretation of the meaning should be the most consistent with the original. ā
After the old mage was calm, he continued: "When the senior of the master was out on a tour, he killed an evil demon who claimed to be the White Bone Demon Lord, and this old demon fought with the elders of the master for several days and nights with the magic skills similar to your necromancy, and later, the elders felt that although others fell into the demon path, the exercises still had merit, so they brought them back. When I told Uncle Shi about you, Uncle Shi found this book and asked me to give it to you to thank you for taking care of us juniors. ā
The old mage sighed: "Your sect's teacher is really too broad-minded, not only did he not discriminate against such an evil and weak necromancer as me, but he also gave me this ancient magic book. You also bothered to help me translate, I. I really don't know what to say. ā
The old mage fell into deep thought after speaking, but Li Zhiqu did not disturb him. After a while, he carefully collected the handscroll and the translation in his arms, raised his head and said to Li solemnly: "Li, if your master doesn't dislike me for being too old and lowly in ability, I want to join your sect to make some efforts, do you think it's okay." ā
At this moment, Li was also a little confused, he turned his head to look at Fu Bo in a little dazed, didn't he originally want to say that the old master of the old man was a little unhappy, how could he pull over a high-level combat power of the enemy from the evil magic techniques found from the trophies of the master's sect? This. This is unprepared.
Still Fauber has experience, and pointed to himself with a smile. Li suddenly realized, turned his head to the old mage, and said, "Uncle Alfred, if you don't mind, how about being the protector I teach?" ā
Looking at the old mage's puzzled expression, Fu Bo opened his mouth to tell him about the status and importance of the Dharma Protector in the sect.
"Okay, no problem, I'd love to be the protector of the sect, I feel like it's a consultant title, I like it very much." After learning about it, the old mage gladly accepted the position.
"By the way, Uncle Alfred, I still have some ideas about your necromancy, you can see if it is feasible."
"Oh, Steve, the whims in your head always help me a lot, tell me about it."
"Okay."
Later that day, the Chicago Museum of Natural History was stolen, but it didn't seem to be anything of value.
A few days later, in Alfred's own room in Detroit, "Oh my gosh, it can still be like this here...... Oh God, so it is...... Oh my God, look, he moved, really moved. Steve, you're a genius. Oh no, little villain, it doesn't work there, no! ā
His old servant listened to the sound coming from below, Chrysanthemum felt a little cold, and he decided not to clean it today, well, yes, it would be better to stay away from the master until he was sure what was going on down there.
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and then, if you have any ideas, you can tell me, just pay attention to the comments.
