Chapter 1206: Countdown to Capital Execution
Sonny, the bartender, or Sonny, the information seller with the bartender's skin, didn't make Kane wait too long and gave Kane the information he wanted.
The way is also quite distinctive, a small glass of wine.
This reminded Kane of a common saying in his hometown's wine culture: 'Don't say anything, it's all in the wine, come, go!'
The information is indeed in the wine, and when you drink it, you will know it all in one gulp, and there will be no problems such as misunderstandings due to communication barriers.
After selling the information, Sonny silently counted out 35 magic coins and returned the rest to Kane. Kane's small loan is 50 coins, which are the size of 1 yuan yuan coin.
Seeing that Sonny was honest, he was also generous, and said: "I don't think the things I gave are enough, you can try to ask for more, but I won't accept the extras." ”
Sonny naturally understood, Kane meant to say, I have my own estimate of this news, if someone wants to kill me, you can try, but on the other hand, if someone can do it at a cheaper price, then it is the other party's ability, and the extra should be rewarded.
"Thank you!" Sonny was not pretentious, and put away his money bag. He poured Kane a cup of very characteristic blood wine, and explained: "This cup was personally invited by me. ”
Come to 'sell only wine' to drink, what grade of news to buy, what level of wine to drink.
Like the table that eats live pigs, it is the lowest grade of wine drunk, the kind that is served in unlimited quantities.
The bartender's private invitation has nothing to do with information sales, only wine and friendship.
Kane also has no ink, and a greeting is considered to be appreciated.
I didn't rush to leave, and continued to eat and drink, while digesting the news and thinking about what to do next.
As for the Underworld Divine Kingdom, not long ago, he received news from Miranda that the alliance of the Prayer Joiners did not rush forward, which means that they are ready to fight Armageddon with all their strength.
It doesn't matter, his system has already begun to batch out UAV carriers. If this trend drags on, when the prayers are full of ships in the sea, they will face ten times the number of ships in the space carrier, and it is difficult to say whether they will be so desperate that they will not be able to fight.
So it's still boring over there.
And the purely mechanical troops sent to explore Svatheavheim in the dimension of Utdrasil are a different kind of boredom, boring in circles in a strange fog.
He's also not in a hurry about it. Anyway, the antler-helmeted big Han Virtanin has already been sent out to find out all the bloodline descendants of the Norse gods in the main material world, and then seize their bloodline, so that the gods have no vehicle to make trouble, but can only attack the main material plane from the dimension like an extraterrestrial invasion.
However, this kind of mode is not to sabotage behind enemy lines, but to attack magnificently, and he is the least afraid. Not to mention that their foundation is almost exhausted, even with the support of external forces, he can crush them in all directions.
He even wished that the old god could play the so-called proxy war in such an inefficient way. Spending a lot of money on logistics, and then supporting dog meat that can't be put on the table, if there are a few more wars like this, the old god will only be weaker, and he will have a lot of money. The comfort is strong.
Therefore, the two major battlefields are not urgent and boring, and it is not as interesting as chasing and killing the gods who make trouble.
And the pursuit of the gods is also not very urgent, as long as the line is kept constant. Then he wanted to see more careerists and opportunists like the elf Athromon and the vampire Ludwig.
Horus and Anubis divide these restless, unstable elements from the group, and he exterminates them quickly and effectively.
I believe that after a few rounds, I can destroy a stubble of heroes. When the 2012 magic tide is revived, there will be few people who can make a noise.
Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, one of the two casual drinkers not far away came over.
It's a woman, her appearance is average, and her mental strength and magic strength are also ordinary.
When Kane entered the bar, he glanced at it and made some judgments about it through the details, this person is not very good. This meal is big fish and meat, but I don't know where to go for the next meal.
In fact, there are many people like this in the transcendent circle. Of course, the East is an exception.
The transcendent circle in the East is similar to the world, at least this year, I haven't learned to consume that set in advance, and the wealth is not enough, but it is generally relatively stable. The poor are stable, the rich are stable, and there are very few interruptions.
However, the fact that European and American transcendents are so poor for a while and generous for a while does not mean that their lives are poor, or that they lack planning ability, but that they have different ideas.
The thinking of Europeans and Americans has led to their lives being more magnificent than those of Orientals. From the ideological point of view, Oriental people are really adults, 15 years are busy for themselves (career), another 15 years are busy for their children (parenting), and another 15 years are busy for their parents (support), and their lives are just like that. Europeans and Americans are chic and happy in the first half of their lives, and support their families and support themselves in the second half of their lives.
And the woman in front of him, Kane feels that he is in between the two and needs to support his family, but he is not quite used to it. There is still a heart that refuses to settle down, but it has to buy the practical problem that you can't eat it, but some mouths have to be fed.
So I came over to find an opportunity, and I was a little embarrassed by my humility. But in reality there is no need for charity, and even pity for her is an offense.
Sure enough, I listened to the other party's familiar greeting: "Hi, sir, I'm Michelle, a witch who can fight, is there a short-term job introduction that makes money?"
In a hurry, I want to eat a fat man in one bite. Michelle gives Kane the feeling that she is like some young people who have just entered society, or the 'dreamers' who have been brainwashed by the success of learning chicken soup, thinking that they can open their legs and open their mouths to succeed or fail, are unreliable to the point of being cute and stupid, making people laugh.
Of course, he will not be accommodating.
A smile replied, "Sorry ma'am, I don't have a suitable business here for the time being." ”
Michelle didn't dwell on it, shrugged her shoulders, said hello to Sonny, the bartender, and left with a shout, 'work, work.'"
Kane thought this was an ordinary episode, but he didn't expect it to be the first link in a series of entanglements.
The second time I saw Michelle was in the night of the same day.
Kane had already returned to the Copley Plaza Hotel, where he was staying.
There are also lodgings in the Underground Kingdom, and in some ways it is more suitable for the transcendent, who will not be treated as a monkey or cause trouble if they use witchcraft or anything.
But Kane prefers a worldly hotel with clean windows.
Another important reason for choosing a secular hotel is because in terms of room service, he is more accustomed to the secular one, and the extraordinary always feels wrong, either the bells and whistles are eccentric, or they are more old-fashioned.
This may be due to the fact that until now, he has not fully integrated supernatural means into his life.
For example, there is a classic scene in the HP series, where Harry Potter once visited the Weasleys living in the Burrow, and saw the brush washing itself in the vegetable sink.
Kane wouldn't do that, although he could have done better if he wanted to. But he is still more accustomed to retaining a considerable part of the do-it-yourself power.
The dishwasher in tech is too unusable. Of course, in fact, most of the time he simply stretches his hand to open his mouth.
It is precisely because of his somewhat awkward half-way monastic concept of transcendent life that he prefers the worldly service industry.
The bagpipe chain hotel under the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce is a model that he is more satisfied with.
However, the popularity of this model is average, and most of the people who like to live are half-blood wizards from non-wizarding families or pure-blood families, and there are only one or two in some major cities in the Americas, but not in Boston.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Kane has slept overnight in a bedroom other than his own since his return. The time was November 3, and he went to bed relatively early, and he fell asleep at about half past 22.
Then he was awakened by the fluctuation of his magic.
It's not just a spell overflow, it's a spell disorder caused by battle. And there is also a malicious spiritual energy.
Kane is limited by the laws of the main material plane, and the forced grid is also on the ceiling, so he is naturally very sensitive, and he wakes up at once.
Then he was a little unhappy.
It's no wonder that the transcendents are doing it here. Instead, I feel that my luck is a little bit back, and I enjoy everything in life, and I encountered this kind of bad thing at the beginning, and I was in a bad mood.
He didn't plan to care, but the strange scream of Mom's death started, he didn't need to perceive, he had a sense of picture, the mortals who stayed were disturbed, and the cruel and bloody, and magical and grotesque scenes subverted the three views of mortals, so he was so confused.
"What a pit!" he thought, and the next second he was dressed up, and the next second he had teleported to the point of the incident.
"Time is slow. He swung his staff and cast spells.
This is a self-created HP sorcery that corresponds to the 'Time Acceleration' he used before. After casting, all phenomena in the area will enter a state of slow-motion effect similar to 'bullet time'.
Of course, it can also be understood that he has made the time flow of blessings on himself faster, so he looks at everything else slowly.
Then he saw Michelle.
Michelle is not a wizard of the HP series, although she is also a witch and also uses a wand, but she is obviously more inclined to a warlock in the DND universe, and the wand she uses is very different from the wand of the HP wizard.
What he saw was a metal rod that looked like an unstretched stick, with a large, glowing gem embedded in the top.
And what she used was obviously the energy bullet type magic that the wand had stored itself.
This kind of wand can be seen every once in a while when he was a reincarnation in his previous life, and it is usually stored in fireballs, magic bullets, ice arrows, acid arrows, etc., ranging from a few to dozens of rounds, depending on what magic is stored, as well as the material and workmanship of the wand. When you use it, you can shoot it out without consuming your own mana.
Everyone is using it, and there are even special reincarnators who use it as a magic version of the firearm, which is called the wand stream, which is a cost-effective choice in those technologically limited worlds, especially for low-level reincarnators.
In this world, Kane roughly categorized Michelle as a warlock, witch and the like in the {Holy Grail Artifact} series based on the actual situation.
When it comes to the origin of the genre, he even suspects that the transcendents here themselves don't quite know which faction and which branch they are.
On the side fighting Michelle, Kane recognized the superior independent race of the Old Dominators, the Death Vine.
Ramsey Campbell once described the creature in "The Worm of Shagai":
It leaped out of the darkness, and the damp huge purple buds stood out, the petals of which opened and closed hungrily, and the viscous honey-like substance, which flowed and fell from the flowers.
In fact, what is really deadly are the green tendrils of vines, the curled and thick leaves on the vines that can be opened, like open palms, and the kind with fingers, and in the center of the open leaves, there are vertical mouths that grow along the veins of the leaves, and sharp fangs. Whoever sees them will never doubt that they are capable of gnawing a piece of meat from themselves......
But in Kane's view, the real threat of this creature lies in its ability to break the reproductive isolation of the plant kingdom and hybridize regardless of whether it is close or distant. It's simply the dragon of the plant world.
"How could such a troublesome thing happen. ”
It is easy to kill, but it is difficult to eradicate it, wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
What's even more painful is that vegetation is the base of the planet's food chain, and if the death vines are allowed to wreak havoc, it is predictable to shake human civilization, and even all species, and start a new era of species.
At this time, the hotel manager, who had only made friends with Kane not long ago, arrived with several security guards.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the manager rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he could no longer maintain his composure, his mouth opened wider and wider, but he couldn't speak as if he was stuck in his neck.
This complex emotion Kane has seen, and the three views are subverted, and that's it.
He greeted him as usual: "Hey, Paul, your hotel has some uneasy guests! Just kidding, I know it's not your fault." ”
Before Paul could interact with him, another group appeared. The black trench coat and politeness give the impression that the era of indulging in {Casablanca} did not come out ('42, the era of Greenwald's activity).
Of course, Kane knew who these guys who had used the illusion to come were, the Aurors of the Magical Congress of the Lighthouse Nation. And it is the traditional school among them (the style is tough and sharp).
The leader saw the space of the stasis force field caused by the temporal spell field in the field, and used the cough sound of clearing his throat to cover up the embarrassment of urgently changing lines.
He said to Kane, "I'm Matt Da Vinci, the Auror captain of the Wizarding Congress, this gentleman, what is going on here. ”
Kane didn't give a face-saving smile: "You guys are fishing here to enforce the law, and you ask me what happened?"
As he spoke, he said: "This is an extraterrestrial species that can completely change the vegetation ecology of the planet and have no genetic barriers. I can tell you responsibly that if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation at this time, within three days, I will remove the Magical Congress of the Lighthouse Nation from this world. ”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scenery immediately disintegrated into small pieces like a mosaic improvised construction.
The deep effect of the streamer is activated, and the deep space of the universe appears, but it is not complete, there is only a scene, no effect, vacuum, cold or anything.
Kane did this just to facilitate the next operation.
The people present suddenly noticed that there was light scattered overhead, and when they looked up, they found that it was a huge moon, and the crater could see it clearly, but it reflected enough sunlight.
Then the silver light quickly turned orange-red, and the blood moon appeared, followed by a total lunar eclipse, as for a glowing blood-red aura.
And in the pitch-black round hole in the center, one after another Grim Reaper in the shape of a dementor appeared.
These Grim Reapers, who are much taller than the Dementors, and more importantly, the extraordinary power fluctuations on their bodies are not a little stronger than the Dementors, and the divine irradiation effect is produced immediately, even if Kane is specially protected, the manager Paul and a security guard can also see the subconscious hairs stand up and cold sweat flowing, but they have some kind of strange and deadly attraction, and they can't help but look at it.
A total of eighty-eight Grim Reapers, all cast spells, and different constellation patterns appeared behind them.
At this moment, they represent the eighty-eight constellations of the week, which means that the stars are condensed, and there are no dead ends in all directions.
Then they began to perform the magic ritual en masse, and the scythe of bones was held high, and a large amount of black light flew from them, forming a cursor composed of three arrows in the air.
It's a little reminiscent of the nuclear symbol, but it's not, it represents the dark end of the past, present, and future, and it's a curse of death.
The ritual didn't take long, and the Grim Reaper were very skillful, and finally they swung their scythes in unison to smash the sign, and then the fragments of the cursor that were chopped turned into scarlet light and flew away in all directions.
Then, everyone finds that they are back in the real hotel, and the scene is still the same, as if time is just a blink of an eye.
But the Aurors of the Beacon Kingdom couldn't help but change color, because the curse of death had been established, and they could clearly feel that there was a scarlet blood-dripping scythe raised above their souls, and the countdown had begun, and when the time came, slash the past, present, and future, and die completely!
These Aurors didn't get out of control on the spot, and they were already considered to be of high quality. They used to support Kane for letting go of wolves and saying cruel things, and they more or less felt that the other party was bragging, but now they don't.
This time it's really big. If one is not done well, thousands of functionaries of the US Congress will be executed en masse.
Kane waved his hand like a fly: "Now, disappear from my sight and find someone who can talk to you to report the situation." Next, I'm going to sleep, who bothered, die!"
Auror didn't dare to say a word, and even didn't even have a visual collision with Kane like a psychopath, and left with a low eyebrow, walking from the corridor to the stairwell first, and then casting a phantom transformation to leave, not daring to cast a spell in front of Kane.
"Forget it!" Kane waved his wand, and the security guards, the harassed hotel guests, were erased.
But Paul didn't.
He smiled at Paul and said, "Paul, I'm going to keep this scene like this for a while. On the side of the mortal police, I'm sure you can handle it. Am I right?"
Paul forced his composure, his lips trembling, and said, "Of course, it's no problem at all, just leave it to me." ”
"Well, it's good, I've scared you a little, I'm a little reluctant to go, here's a gadget, it's good for you, count it as an apology for you. As he spoke, with a twist of his wrist, there was an extra ring of soul nourishing wood.
The ring is the simplest men's model, and the inner side is etched with golden text like the supreme ring of the magic ring, which is the seal script, the small seal, and the common text of the Qin State, four words: calm and relaxed.
Handing Paul the ring, Kane said, "Tomorrow morning, if I don't call for breakfast at 7 o'clock, someone will wake me up." These people who have been erased from their memories will be whatever you say for a period of time, and they will make up some stories about the past. ”
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll do it. Paul took the ring with both hands and said yes with a smile on his face.
In Paul's view, this information was very valuable. Because according to his estimate, it won't be long before those transcendental beings who suddenly appeared in a distorted light and dressed in retro clothes will rush to the scene, but they don't dare to disturb Kane easily, for fear of being killed by him when he gets up and gets up, so when can he try to communicate? At least after 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Tsk, tsks
And after wearing the ring, I immediately felt that my heart was not panicked, my hands were no longer shaking, I was able to walk strongly, and my spirit was as good as twenty years ago, and I stayed up all night without worrying.
"Extraordinary! it's deadly and tempting!" Paul began to work, and the first step was to make up stories for the harassed guests......
