Chapter 1188 French Companions
By the time Kane left the Hog's Head Bar, the night had already fallen.
Due to the high latitude of Hogsmeade and the influence of the maritime climate, even in summer, it is cold and cold, and in winter, it is even more cold and damp, which is also a major reason for the British people's alcoholism.
The weather wasn't very good today, with strong winds and scattered snow. Although all houses generally carry out holiday-related decorations, such as jack-o-lanterns and so on, the festive atmosphere on the street is not strong.
Kane walked leisurely for a while, teleporting from the magic tower at the top of Fir Hill to the Summer Palace, and then using the portal platform of the Summer Palace to his mansion on the banks of the River Thames in London.
This old mansion, which was originally purchased in 1853, is now in the name of Victor Cullen. It is a kind of building that belongs to the cultural relics level and cannot be rebuilt without permission.
This house is usually taken care of by someone assigned by the Demon Eye Guild, and it is clean and tidy, and can be used at any time.
Kane came over, and it was just a nostalgic look, after all, the last time he came in person was more than 30,000 years ago.
In addition, the mansion is located in the heart of London, and the neighbors around him are rich or noble, and he also wants to see what the festive atmosphere is like in the mortal world.
I have to say that the situation is better than he expected. Maybe Westerners have a little bit of heartlessness and a timely temperament. The streets were quite lively, and the cold did not dispel the festive atmosphere, and the procession was very large.
Perhaps because of the cooperation between the wizarding circle and the secular government, there are a lot of wizards who play wizards this year. He even saw real wizards involved in the crowd. Apparently attracted by the lively atmosphere.
"Eventually, the mindset is starting to change. He thought. The Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce is a bridge between wizards and mortal beings, and the transcendent underworld forces represented by Voldemort have contributed to the acceleration of communication to a considerable extent.
He had also read a report not long ago that the number and frequency of participation in secular activities among the old school wizards in the Ministry of Magic had increased significantly. Whether it's because of a sense of superiority, enjoyment of respect, or finding a new toy, the trend is good.
You know, just two years ago, the vast majority of old-school wizards, when it came to Muggles, were still 'inferior creatures, unworthy to interact with me', and self-righteous to the point that they couldn't talk to people at all, and they had no interest in understanding secular technology.
Therefore, sometimes the villain is also beneficial to society, human nature is cheap, and he is persuaded not to go. This is especially true of wizards, many of whom would rather deceive themselves than step out of their comfort zone of conscious thinking and fear change.
After wandering the streets of London, Kane headed to Dublin.
The Republic of Ireland became independent in 1949 and although a member of the British Commonwealth, it is highly autonomous and separated from the island of Great Britain by the Irish Sea. Even the wizarding circle has a vague boundary.
For these reasons, the power of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce on the island of Ireland is relatively weak.
Moreover, the natural environment of the Kingdom of Ireland is quite well protected, and there are many extraordinary creatures living here.
As the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, and since Great Britain is regarded as the basic plate, the island of Ireland naturally cannot afford to lose.
Kane came to Dublin to confirm the situation, so as not to be complicit or manipulated by some transcendent races and evil forces, and he was still kept in the dark.
So when he arrived in Dublin, he only stayed in the city for a short time, and then flew into the sky with a black wing, patrolling the entire island of Ireland at a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour.
It took more than an hour before and after, and he was pleased with the results. There is nothing unusual here, the only thing worth mentioning is that after the White Bone Tacitus took charge of the Bone Erosion Society, his movements were a little big, and he sent the Dry Bone Mage and vampires to come here to show his muscles, and asked the transcendent race to send a representative of the weight to meet him.
He had promised Tacitus before that he would allow him to act cheaply and develop and grow the Bone Eater Guild without delaying the main task of assisting the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce and without violating the core propositions of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce. Now it seems that this old man in the Holy Domain powerhouse has quite a strong subjective initiative.
After completing his drive on the island of Ireland, Kane went straight to Calais, France, using the portkey.
When Morsoblay was still in the city, he had the ambition to set up an intelligence organization called the Twelve Battleship Hall, each of which corresponded to a European country and grasped the situation there.
When the family moved to the medieval Warhammer, the city of Morsobre was also taken with them. The intelligence system has been greatly affected.
However, the peripheral intelligence personnel in European countries did not withdraw, but reduced their activity, as well as the monitoring of sensitive targets, and turned to macro intelligence collection to serve the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the intelligence system, he also personally opened a safe route that could avoid the Ministry of Magic and allow personnel to travel between Britain and the European continent in bulk.
And Calais is the first stop on this safe line.
Specifically, it is a private house that has been renovated.
He left the house and drove to Paris.
The distance is not close, and the distance in a straight line is more than 200 kilometers. It's a little over two hours by car.
Choosing to drive is not just a whim.
The main reason is that since the hell gate incident on the French side, the extraordinary has risen and made a lot of noise. Dozens of old guys who have disappeared for more than fifty years have come to the fore.
And the Holy See in France also has a lot of extraordinary power, and recently it has been engaged in saber rattling with wizards and even dark creatures.
In such a situation, he felt that it was better to keep a low profile, so as not to be mixed into bad things.
France is no better than Britain, and the intelligence support is much worse.
In addition, in order not to be targeted by the laws of the Heavenly Dao, he would not easily open the overlimit state. Usually only maintain the level of the legendary position, and the level of concealment that can be achieved at this level is not high enough to go high and go unnoticed.
He also wanted to know the 'people's feelings', and he was not in a hurry, and he could arrive in Paris around midnight. So I chose to drive.
The 1979 Citroen CX, for Kane, is not worth mentioning in terms of performance scum, but the sentiment is a slight plus, and he has not touched this kind of vehicle for a long, long time. He didn't make any magic changes, and went south along Highway 26 as an ordinary driver.
When I got to the vicinity of Khalm, I found someone walking on the side of the road and stretched out my hand to try to hitchhike. He thought it was a little funny.
It's past 10 p.m., and this is the area of the Marshland Nature Park, which can be regarded as a wilderness. There were few vehicles along the way, and there were no street lights, and just now, by borrowing the lights, I found that the other party was a woman, still dressed as a wizard.
Slow, stop, Kane waits.
The other party was not in a hurry, and still walked elegantly at a normal speed, came to the car, and got into the car calmly. Instead of sitting in the back, I sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as the car door closed, he greeted him with a smile: "Bonjour!"
He also followed the local custom of 'Bang in' and drove the car.
He noticed the tear in the woman's robe, smelled the blood mixed with the perfume, and sensed the remnants of mana.
A real wizard, and he fought with someone not long ago.
No matter how much, he didn't snoop, the opponent's strength was not low, he used extraordinary means to detect, and the other party would most likely sense it. And it's not worth using magic skills, his curiosity is not so heavy, or in other words, the identity and story of the other party, even if combined with his appearance and figure that can score more than 90 points, it is not enough for him to itch and try to understand.
I don't know if the other party has injuries or inconveniences, or can really calm down, no self-introduction, let alone talk, the atmosphere is slightly embarrassing.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the other party was also looking at the road with his eyes open and by the light of the headlights, instead of refusing to communicate by closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
After a quiet drive, he decided to take the initiative. Looking ahead, without turning his head, he said in French: "My name is Victor Cullen, and I am on my way to Paris." I don't know where you're going. ”
The witch replied in a slightly hoarse, but nice, and especially elegant voice: "Then go to Paris." ”
There was silence in the carriage again.
After a while, the witch added, "My name is Alyssa Fontaine, thank you for your help." "She speaks relatively casually, less formally.
"You're welcome. He was a little more casual.
Maybe it was because the spirit had recovered a little, or maybe the beautiful woman was on the side, but he was able to not take the initiative to talk and concentrate on driving, which aroused interest to a certain extent, Alyssa was silent for a while, and then asked, "Are you British?"
"How so?"
"A French man of your age would hardly be as dressed as you are, and be as serious as you. ”
Kane knows that 'seriousness' here means rigidity and lack of life.
He said, "Why can't it be German?"
When he said this, he also meant that the external image of German men is basically serious and serious, so they appear stereotyped.
As for the external image of British men, gentlemen are actually blowing by themselves, and the modern living environment and rhythm of life cannot cultivate a real gentleman.
In other words, a true gentleman is a natural style that can only be born in an environment with sufficient financial resources and an upper-class social circle. Not much from ancient times to the present day.
So the gentleman is nothing more than an ideal state of English obscenity, even of which is rare for them, and most people do not know the whole content of a gentleman, but only at the level of some less awkward and less awkward cognitive level of etiquette and politeness.
As neighbors across the sea, Britain and France can be said to have loved and killed each other for many years, and the French still know what kind of bird the British man is. There are even quite prejudices, not very good kinds.
"German men are more self-conscious, upright, and easily don't speak a foreign language, and few speak French as standard as you do. Also, they don't have a penchant for Savile Row's tailored clothing, and even fewer can wear it in style. ”
"I'll just think you're complimenting, thank you. He turned around and smiled at Alyssa, and continued driving.
His kind of topic terminator-style chat, easily chatted Tian'er to death, and the carriage fell silent again.
This silence lasted about twenty minutes before being broken by Elisa.
She frowned at first, and then said, "Can you make the car faster?"
Kane smiled and said, "Since you don't want to give up after such a long time, even if this car is flying to Paris, I'm afraid you will chase after it." ”
Talking, slowing, stopping.
He added, "Please let me solve these little troubles." ”
With that, he got out of the car, calmly sorted out his clothes, and then drew his wand with a unique shape.
Alyssa also got out of the car, and by this time she had recovered from her surprise.
She really didn't expect that at such a close distance, she would not be able to find a person of the same kind! This is quite incredible, after all, she is not only strong enough, but also has a special talent in this area, and even has a resounding name - super magic sense.
Tonight, it was by relying on her super magic sense that she discovered the ambush in time to avoid the danger of falling into a complete death.
As for the current chasing soldiers, combined with the previous encounters, she can only say that there are internal ghosts among those close to her, not only the information is exposed, but it is likely that they have also been marked.
Kane's thinking is relatively simple, and the core is one, depending on the success of the pursuers.
If it's a demonic way, there's nothing to say.
If it's a normal wizard, let it go.
If it is a well-known and decent person, then you can't say that you have to help the other party.
As for his definition of a decent person, he who is orderly and maintains social peace and stability is considered a decent person. He didn't bother to care about Alyssa Fontaine's grudge with him because of a personal grudge or something else.
However, based on the analysis of the information he obtained from covert observation and brief exchanges, Alyssa should not have provoked a good bird.
Sure enough, when he found that an extraordinary unit was approaching, and at the same time identified the approximate number of the other party's path, and quickly assessed it, he took the initiative to solve the trouble.
I don't know if it was the so-called French romance (again, largely home-owned) factor at work, or whether there was a dozen or so transcendent creatures who chased after them without fear, and instead of attacking directly, they fell one after another, and the whole was encircled.
After Kane saw the other party's dress, he pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in his heart: "It's really a special bag, it's Shengbai, Phnom Penh and Shengwen at night, I don't know if I think you are from the Holy See." ”
The leader is a tall man with a face of about thirty years old, with a figure and temperament, all of which are in line with the personality of the business elite, but the temperament is slightly girly, which has a certain relationship with his white complexion.
Tucking away his slightly messy blonde hair, and at the same time glancing at the wand in Kane's hand, the tall man smiled before speaking, and said with some pretense of elegance:
"Sir, I'm sure you intervened accidentally. This lady is absolutely not disrespectful, I sincerely hope that you can be wise to realize the disadvantages of judging people by their appearance, so that it is good for everyone. ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a white-robed woman who was a few meters behind Kane suddenly made a move, and her wand appeared in her hand in an instant, and then pointed at Kane: "Avada asks for his life!"
Although Alisa, who had been on guard, reacted in a timely manner, she was still slow because of the injuries on her body, and the disarming spell she cast was killed by another white-robed spell.
The poisonous green light hit Kane's body, and it did not have the normal effect of inward erosion, but like a spreading circle of fire, it circulated on Kane's body for about a second, and then collapsed and disappeared.
"There is no light in the deep sky!" Kane waved his wand and cast his own level 10 forbidden spell.
Suddenly, in the ring-shaped area where the white robes were located, the environment was switched to the state of deep space in the universe, with no oxygen, no light, extreme cold, and weightlessness.
Several white-robed people who tried to cast spells to stop Kane from casting spells were immediately unstable due to the sudden change in the environment because of their movements being half a beat slower, and two of them cast spells but missed their shots, and the rest were even interrupted by casting spells.
"Elemental stripping!" Kane's wand waved again.
The main difference between this technique and 'elemental plunder' is that it only precipitates, but it does not converge, and it is not so ferocious.
'Elemental Plunder' doesn't care if the target collapses completely due to structural imbalance after casting.
To put it simply, the death was extremely miserable.
'Element stripping' simply extracts key elements. But even so, it is a spell that instantly turns young strength into the last years of the wind and candle. After all, it is also a legendary-level spell, and it is also a forbidden spell level.
A dry white robe, including the tall man led by him, flew away as there were spots of light on his body, and the transcendent bloodline was directly abolished.
Immediately afterward, the permanent effect of youth, which is maintained by extraordinary power, disappears, and the traces of age begin to find an aftermath, causing it to age at a rate visible to the naked eye......
