Chapter 135
The Wohuada family has been uninhabited for more than ten years, and the weeds in the yard have grown as tall as a human calf, and the courtyard walls are mottled marks, and there is moss under the walls that look old.
This situation made Gail feel that he would see a dilapidated house. After all, some of the materials that make up this house are still wooden, so it is difficult to guarantee that it will not rot and be damaged.
But it is clear that the building, which has existed since the time of his great-grandmother Helena, has not been invaded by the time of the very strict zhòng. Helena had apparently taken good care of her and her husband's home, so that the rest of the house was sturdy except for the dust that showed that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
This is where Helena once lived, and it was the last place where Alice grew up and decided to say goodbye. Gale was curious to find the traces of Helena's past, to find something magical, magical and something.
Unfortunately, it didn't. Perhaps Helena, knowing that her children were not gifted with magic, did not let them continue to be exposed to magic. Perhaps Alice had given Helena hope, but in the end, until Helena's death, Alice still didn't show any magical talent.
The whole house, except for the buildings that never seem to decay, is like all ordinary people's houses, without the slightest hint of magic. Gail was disappointed but took it for granted.
"Since the house and the land behind it still belong to the Wohuada family, we should still go through the formalities and make it yours. It's your mother's, after all. Severus picked up a picture frame that had been placed on the fireplace, wiped it clean, and handed it to Gail.
It was a photograph of an old woman, though she was old but still in good spirits, and a little girl of about three or four years old - the old woman was obviously Helena. She wore a dress that was popular at the time and only the young ladies of the pictorial magazine, but she did not feel out of place at all, but had a style of her own. The already gray hair was meticulously combed and pinned back with an exaggerated and childish hair accessory.
And Alice, the other protagonist on the screen, is smiling very sweetly. If it weren't for the poor pixels in the old photographs, Gail suspected that he might have been able to see Alice's tongue clearly through her gaping mouth. In the same way, she also has an exaggerated and childish hair ornament of similar style on her head, with half-length hair curled up and not short.
The two of them looked at the camera in surprise and joy at the same time, as if they had seen something surprising. This gave Severus and Gail the illusion that they were looking at the photo, and a softness and warmth were revealed in the photo.
If Gail hadn't been here and hadn't seen the traces of Alice's life with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have cared much about the house and land in Volvada. But now, because of an old photograph, Gail feels he should keep it.
He put the cleaned frame back on the fireplace and nodded in agreement. The whole room, except for a clean picture frame, is full of dust and dust, which is very eye-catching.
"Let's go through the formalities and let the elves clean up. If you wish, we can connect the fireplace to the Prince Manor. Severus pondered the possibilities, and thought that Gale would probably be a little happier because of this.
After several days of running around and issuing various certificates, the owner of the land and house in Wovada finally changed his name to Gail Green. This caused a stir in the small village that was always calm.
But as the new owner of the Wowarda family, Gale has never been seen in the village. Even his neighbors, the Scott family, had never seen the child, who was said to be the only daughter of the Wawarda family. And as time passed, new topics made people gradually forget about the head of the household, and forgot about the Wohuada family, where they had never seen anyone living after the new owner.
By the time Gale and Severus left Wales, July had barely passed. The two of them felt that it would be a good thing to put aside the never-ending research for a while and go on a short trip.
The Vatican is a religious country with a small area. However, due to the large number of tourists who come and go every year, it has always maintained a thriving scene.
"It doesn't look like much." After visiting the famous cathedral with Severus, Gale pointed his index finger to his chin and said, "Have you noticed that the frescoes on the ceiling are divided into two parts?" The line between heaven and hell is drawn on the fence where visitors are not allowed to enter. Only the clergy can walk under the frescoes of Paradise, while visitors can only walk under hell. What a ......."
"Understandably, it's probably their superiority." Severus shrugged his shoulders indifferently and did not laugh at the careful thinking of the clergy.
"I've heard that Nicol Lemay's house in France is nearby, shall we pay a visit?" Gale suddenly remembered something, and happily said to Severusti. Severus, of course, readily agreed.
The next day, Gale and Severus visited Nicol Lemay's house. But unfortunately, it is already one of the world's most well-known attractions. Like 221B on Baker Street, all who are still curious will take a look at the strange alchemical symbols that have weathered almost no trace of time.
"Absorption? Invert? Gale came out of Nicol Lemay's old site and muttered two alchemical symbols that he recognized, "It seems that the Philosopher's Stone is not something that can turn stones into gold and make people immortal for no reason." ”
So Nicol Lemay's immortality is actually only with the help of external forces, and the Philosopher's Stone is just a device for absorbing and converting energy? Gail looked sideways at Severus and removed the Philosopher's Stone from the list of alternatives. He seriously thought about getting Severus to abandon the way he was accustomed to using magic, and that it was not feasible to convert the source of magic into a true spirit like himself.
After this, Gale and Severus traveled to Paris, the capital of fashion. July in Paris is a good time to visit, and Gale and Severus don't use any doors or apparitions, but take a variety of transportation like ordinary people.
As a romantic city, intimacy between people of the same sex is not subject to malicious attacks. Two teenagers, Gale and Severus, walked down the street hand in hand, smiling and talking, which was a good sight.
The last time I came to Paris was for the Paris summit, and I didn't have a good time at all. This time, Gale and Severus spent half a month exploring the strange city of Paris. The most common mode of transport they use is the Paris subway.
Originally, if it was an ordinary person traveling, it would just be a tourist, but Gail and Severus have never been ordinary people, so it is only natural that they are involved in the incident again.
It was just morning, the morning rush had passed, and there weren't too many people on the platform. Gale had a crepe in his hand, but he wanted to bite Severus' Panini. Severus wouldn't give it to him, and single-handedly lifted Panini out of Gail's reach, which made Gale glare at Severus angrily.
In the end, Gail, who couldn't reach Panini, grabbed Severus by the collar and gave up Panini to attack Severus's lips instead. After the crepe and panini were no longer freshly baked, the two guys parted unsatisfactorily.
In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, a man in a hurry panted and ran into the platform with a slender bag about an arm's length in his arms. The man's eyes didn't know why Yan Zòng's blood was congested, and he reached into the bag with one hand to grab something, muttering something in his mouth, which caught Gale's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"That man, he speaks like Hokkien." Gail said with some uncertainty.
"Do you understand what that means?"
"Mandarin is fine, but if you speak Hokkien, I really don't know anything." Gail shrugged and shoved the last bite of crepe into his mouth.
The man rested against a pillar for a while, as if he had recovered a little. Just as he got up and walked to the platform, a buzzing sound came from the man's pocket, like the sound of a cell phone vibrating decades later.
The man took out a small, palm-sized box two or three centimeters thick, opened it and pressed a button with difficulty. After that, another man's voice came from the box: "Tim, where are you?" Don't do stupid things! We'll find a way around! ”
"English, American accent." This time there was no need for Gael to say it, Severus could hear it.
"We tried! I can't get rid of the effect it has on me! It controls my mind! I want to kill, Adi! I can't help it! My death is the best thing to do! The man, Tim, breathed heavily with every word, as if restraining something.
"Nope! No, no! Adi on the other end shouted, "We have a way!" As soon as you come back! How about I tie you up first? Then find a way to remove the effects of the stave and you'll be normal! Unfortunately, even his own tone was full of uncertainty, and it was impossible to convince a man who was bent on death.
"Oh!" Gail stood up, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.
The mobile phone has only been invented for a few years, and at this time the phone was not so small, and it would not have the function of video calling!
"Adi, throw it into the lava." Tim finally spoke, as if he didn't hear Adi's shout of "Tim Tim", turned off the communication tool in his hand, and staggered to the edge of the subway platform. In a few tens of seconds, the subway will enter the station.
Just as Tim was about to jump off the platform, he felt his neck tighten, and he fell backwards, and the wolf fell to the ground. The original slender bag was also thrown out, revealing a small piece of gray-green metal that looked like a handle.
"Sir, suicide is not a good act." Severus said to Tim seriously. Gail, on the other hand, grabbed the handle and pulled out the things that Tim had hidden in the bag.
It was a bronze sword covered in patina.
"Are you a cultural relics smuggler?" As Gail grasped the hilt of his sword, he suddenly saw some afterimage in front of him.
"Danger!" Tim cried out in despair as he saw Gael grip the bronze sword.
"Huh?" Gail looked at Tim suspiciously, wondering where the artifact, which had even the blade wrapped in patina, was in danger.
Tim's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly seemed to be enchanted, and the expression on his whole face became hideous, and he jumped up and pounced on Gael.
And the moment Tim pounced on Gale, Severus immediately kicked Tim in the shin. You must know that Severus, who has been completely transformed by the potion potion, has evolved the strength of his body, the strength of his attack, the reflex nerve, and his dynamic vision to a perverted Cheng Dù, which can naturally easily make Tim lose his ability to attack in an instant.
"Oh God! Tim! Good thing you didn't do anything stupid! Tim! A chubby man rushed in from the subway aisle at the other end with a triangular handbag, and at a glance he saw Tim lying on the ground. Judging by the voice, this is the Adi.
Adi, who had just arrived, glanced at the already entered
