Chapter 06: Fighting
In fact, when Lowe woke up the next day, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Belinda was still at school, with bread buttoned with bamboo strips on the table in the cafeteria and a note with a message written on it.
[Go home early in the evening, I have something I want to discuss with you. 】
[Also, please be sure to forget about the "lamb chops.] 】
Lowe couldn't help but wonder.
There are no emojis in this era, otherwise my sister would have drawn a fist behind the "lamb chops" and a string of # symbols representing green tendons.
He casually stuffed two mouthfuls of bread, and his mouth was full of dry and sour taste, which made him realize once again that making money is an urgent thing.
"On the way back, keep an eye out for places where I can work."
Lowe put the keys in his small chest pocket, got dressed and went out. Because I don't have money, I don't have anything to do with things like carriages. He could only walk to Lawrence's house, ten blocks away.
When I walked about 100 meters, the sky began to rain again.
"Bad luck." Luo Wei complained in his heart.
Every time I go out, I hate this kind of situation the most, and it starts to rain after walking a few steps, and it is not to go back to get an umbrella, and it is not to take it.
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves around the corner. Soon, a black patent leather carriage came to Lowe and came to a light stop.
The young man in the car, wearing an earthy yellow round hat, knocked on the glass window and opened the door.
"Isaac?" Lowe was a little surprised to see the comer.
To be precise, it was this rare name that impressed him.
"I think you should call me 'Warrent' or 'Agent Warrent,' Mr. Austin." He stretched out his hand and dragged Luo Wei into the car, "We don't know each other, you call your name like this, it seems very ungentlemanly." ”
"I'm sorry."
He was habitually following last night's title of Captain Evan.
"Go to Lawrence's house, 7 Red Leaf Street, next to Forren Church." Warrent said to the driver in the front seat.
His attitude looked much better than last night.
Lowe asked curiously, "You know I'm going to Mr. Lawrence...... Are you spying on me? ”
"It's just special treatment, on the one hand, surveillance, and on the other hand, protection. This is our responsibility, and there is no need to panic. ”
Lowe didn't ask much.
There was no word all the way, and when the two arrived at the mansion by the church, the bell had just struck three o'clock in the afternoon.
Standing on the edge of the gate, Warrent tucked his briefcase under his arm and took two things out of his coat pocket.
"Glasses? Are you nearsighted? ”
Seeing him put on his monocle unhurriedly, Luo Wei couldn't help but ask curiously.
"A special tool for wizards, of course, this is also."
Warrente raised his wand in his hand.
"You look a little short ......," Lowe said subconsciously, then coughed dryly twice and added, "I mean, I've seen Lawrence's wand, which is a third longer than yours. ”
"The features are different."
Warrent's answer was brief, he took the key from Lowe's hand, and said as he opened the door: "Lawrence is a priest, and most of the spells he needs are to pray or calm the nerves, and the output of the long wand is more stable and detailed. ”
Therefore, the magic wand of the police needs to be powerful, short and fast. Lowe made up his mind and followed Warrent into the house.
The room was a simple furnishing that he was familiar with, and many things were covered with linen, and a sign pole was inserted next to it, signaling the police to control it and not to touch it without permission.
"Captain Evan is coordinating, there should be someone tomorrow afternoon to take the things from the house. This house is about to be repossessed by the city, if you want to keep something as a souvenir, you can take some now. ”
Warrent kept a certain distance near Lowe and said unhurriedly: "Besides, my attitude towards you last night was a bit rude, I didn't know that your family was in financial difficulties. ”
"It's okay, I don't care about that." Lowe said as he walked straight up the stairs.
He was worried that if he went straight to get the "Book of the White Witch", would he be noticed by Warrent, this was the book whose name had been erased?
It's best to pretend to pick a few more.
"But I want to emphasize, Mr. Austin. Even if you are financially difficult, you can't take any of the valuables in this house. These properties are now owned by ZF. ”
"I understand."
Lowe came to the door of the study and reached out to turn the handle of the lock.
Click, click.
"Huh?" The stuck feel of the doorknob made Luo Wei a little puzzled.
He turned back to Warrente and asked, "Is this study locked by you?" ”
"Nope."
Warrent stepped forward and frowned.
"Wait."
He suddenly pulled Lowe to his side.
"Hide, don't move!"
“#¥%*&!”
Lowe didn't even hear what he was saying, only to see a flick of his wand, a glimmer of light, and a click came from the lock cylinder.
Warrent rushed in as soon as he opened the door, slamming the door behind him.
"Hey!"
The only thing that responded to Lowe was the sound of the door slamming shut.
"Someone's in there? Thief? Burglary? ”
Through the heavy door, Luo Wei couldn't hear anything clearly, only a faint shout from inside, and the sound of crackling and turning over cabinets.
The battle was fierce.
"it...... It can't be some kind of wizard gangster in it, right? ”
Almost every second there were various crashes, heavy objects falling to the ground, shattering sounds, mixed with muffled incantations coming from the door.
Looking at the colorful light shining through the crack in the door, Luo Wei's eyes were a little straight. The battle was clearly beyond its own perception.
Bang.
Something heavy slammed into the door, causing the floor under Lowe to tremble violently.
Warrent's groans of pain were heard from inside the door.
"Isn't it!"
Luo Wei was shocked and opened the door.
"Warrent!"
What caught my eye was the blackened clothes. The young man who had been elegant a few minutes ago was now lying on the ground in a state of confusion, his wand falling to the side.
"Quick...... Escape! Find Evan! ”
Lowe wanted to help him up, but he was pushed hard and fell to the ground.
As soon as he turned around and saw the person standing in the center of the room, Luo Wei's scalp tingled for no reason.
It was a monster that couldn't tell if it was a man or a skeleton, floating on the ground, wrapped in a tattered turquoise cloak, covered in skinny skin like a specimen.
What the monster was carrying behind made Luo Wei's pupils shrink fiercely.
It was a double-ended scythe connected by a skull.
This iconic scythe, he'd seen on Lawrence's arm before. When the Oblivion Spell is cast, Lawrence presses two fingers on the scythe skull's emblem!
"Stop! Misunderstanding, own people! ”
Luo Wei subconsciously shouted.
"Who are your own people!" Warrent yelled, "That's the Church of the Death Knell!" Cultists! ”
"it."
Seeing the skeleton raise the knuckle wand in his right hand, Luo Wei let out an authentic national curse, subconsciously became short, and rolled out of the door on the spot.
Then a bolt of turquoise lightning struck the doorframe, and cracked sawdust splashed all over Lowe's face.
Fortunately, he dodged the blow, and just as he was rolling, Lowe picked up the wand that Warlent had fallen to the ground.
"Warrent, teach me the spell!"
"What spell?!"
In the next second, Warrent also rolled out in embarrassment, followed by another bolt of lightning.
"A spell that kills it!"
"You Muggle, you know a fart! Give me back the wand! ”
Warrent tried to lift his hand, but found that he had lost control of his right arm. The feeling of severe pain made him understand that he must have broken his arm in the impact just now.
"You're all crippled and hairy!"
Seeing him grinding and chirping, Lowe sighed fiercely, then grabbed his wand and rushed into the house.
He didn't have any concept of spells in his mind at all, he could only think about the spells in the various movies he had seen in his previous life, and he could recite whatever came to his mind.
"Howe Fireball Technique!"
"Starburst Air Flow Slash!"
"Elegy for the Soul!"
"Except for your pants!"
“…… Dry, it doesn't have pants at all. ”
Lowe rushed into the house and maneuvered like a tiger, but none of the spells worked.
The English spell had no effect on him, and the wand didn't respond.
The skeleton monster raised its hand, and without hearing any spells at all, several powerful lights shot out.
“*%¥*&!”
Lowe rolled around on the donkey again, barely hiding behind Lawrence's desk.
A thunderous spell followed. With a "boom", the table was blown to pieces.
“?!”
"Bastard, run!" Outside the door, Warrent struggled to his feet.
There was no shelter left in front of Lowe.
The wand in the monster's hand was raised again.
“…… Finished. ”
Luo Wei's heart was cold and he regretted it.
When he rushed through the door, he should have recited a mantra in Chinese.
In order to keep his secret, now he has missed the only chance to fight back.
The wand in the skeleton's hand shone brightly.
Lowe clenched Warrent's wand tightly in his hand, stiffening.
Are you going to explain this...... The moment he thought this, Luo Wei's mind suddenly flashed his diary.
Diary?
Right!
In an instant, Luo Wei's mind raced. The familiar "open sesame" mantra blurted out subconsciously.
"Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders."
The room, which had been filled with chaos and loud noise, suddenly returned to tranquility.
Except for the smoke and dust, the room was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
The next moment, the vision was enveloped in darkness.
It was as if something vast and magnificent, piercing through the sky and the roof, descended on this small space with an endless and irresistible momentum.
Lowe couldn't see anything, and his vision was completely ineffective.
He could only hear the aria that surrounded him when he first entered the illusion world, like a long song of immortals.
"Dao Ke Dao, very Dao ......"
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs......"
"Frustrate its sharpness, solve its ......"
"The song is complete, and the vain is ......straightforward"
"The sound of the big voice, the elephant is invisible......"
"Heavenly Law Dao, Dao Law ...... Nature"
……
I don't know how long it took to do this.
From beginning to end, Lowe was confronted with nothing but endless darkness.
It was as if he had come to a zone between reality and fantasy, and wanted to move forward, but was pushed away by some invisible force.
In the end, as if he had received some heavy blow to his chest, Lowe was breathing for a long time, and then fell heavily to the ground.
“……”
When he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him made Luo Wei fall into a stupor.
The skeleton monster is gone.
The study is also gone.
In front of you, you will find the ruins that seem to have experienced a huge explosion. The floor beneath him became the only remaining architectural structure in the study. And the walls and ceilings have long been gone.
The afternoon sun was dazzling, the blue sky, and the view of the building across the street.
"This ......"
As soon as Luo Wei wanted to say something, a huge feeling of weakness came over him.
He groaned and fell to the ground, his eyes pressed against an anvil and uncontrollably trying to close.
"Don't ......" Before he finished speaking, Luo Wei fainted.
At his last glance before falling into a coma, he saw Warrent, who was also lying on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, unconscious.
……
