Chapter 19: Waves
Just as Chen Qi and Gold were teasing and eating, Julius, who was besieged, finished cutting the last wave of grass and ended this short battle.
The cross swirled swiftly, sending out several repetitive remnants that circled and slashed around, and the sharply bound vines were turned into several pieces and fell to the ground with a single sweep, the broken vines and leaves were as easy as breathing, and the strong wind blew away the poisonous pollen.
A single blow is enough to nullify a defensive magic counterattack.
And then comes the second strike!
Whine, the swift sound of the wind swirling with the cross, and Julius raised his hand to grasp the returning cross, and threw it again with a wave of his arm forward.
Bang!
Like the roar of cannonballs, the crucifixes that disappeared without a trace, cut off all the plants in the manor in an instant, and the strong whirling force destroyed them and uprooted them at the same time.
The battle was over at the beginning.
Julius retracted the cross, turned it into the size of his palm, looked up at the roses carved from mahogany, firmly closed all the doors inside, took out the key that Yoko had given him from his pocket, and slowly inserted it.
Click.
With the twist of the key, the manor seemed to tremble for a moment, and the invisible magic rose from the door, and then poured into the ground to disperse around, and Julius simply pushed the door open, and at first glance, he saw the wall clock facing the main entrance.
The hour, minute and second hands all point to 12 o'clock.
When Julius saw the wall clock, the minute hand clicked and moved, and the cold breath blew from the depths of the mansion, hovering around Julius, and the static chill penetrated straight into the bone marrow through the trench coat, turning into a malice that was enough to cut the flesh and bones inch by inch, leaving no trace of life.
Well?!
Julius' expression changed, his keen intuition had already sensed that something was wrong, and he used his magic power to open up the safety field on the surface of his body, but when the wind blew around him and Julius prepared for battle, it was as if nothing had happened.
No, there is something that has been changed.
- Time.
Julius' eyes fixed on the clock, and the minute hand recoiled to twelve o'clock, and his body turned into a mosquito fixed in amber.
I can't even take a single step.
Taking a deep breath, Julius burst out of his magic and tried to force a breakthrough, but it was just a movement of raising his legs, and the magic on his body wavered, dissipating into invisibility in the still time, and being swallowed up by this twisted otherworld.
Even if the magic power is exploded, it can only guarantee that it will not be swallowed by this strange power.
Rationally cautious about the situation, Julius swept backwards and withdrew directly from the door, canceling his intention to investigate the bottom of the matter.
The intrusion stirred up the alien forces indifferent to Julius' retreat, and continued to pursue, and the new dead calm was restored.
At the same time, the information of the intruder was passed on to the arranger.
It is in a straight line with the Druid Street, twenty kilometers away from the street.
A young man in a black top hat and holding a gentleman's scepter strolls through the streets of London.
He was as light as nothing, drifting through the wall, following the negative energy and the unwillingness to die, walking to the dark back alley where there was no one but piling up garbage, and staring at Henry Matt, who was knocked down by Chen Qi and unconscious, but was never sent to the hospital, and was left here at random.
Not a coincidence.
The young man had followed Gold's trail, but the other party's unexpected revelation of the mysterious move caused panic among many people, which gave him no chance to start, because it was too eye-catching.
I wanted to leave, but I met a dying wild dog, and at the same time, I received feedback in my heart that the distorted otherworld he set up had been discovered, but the person who found it was not Yoko as he imagined.
A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth: "Has Belmont been attracted as the key, or maybe, let's speed it up." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his glove with six-pointed star runes and pressed it on Henry's head, and a blood-red crescent moon like a sickle rose in his eyes.
Ominous magic poured out from his palms, turning blood-colored thorns from Henry's forehead, rooting in the veins to form a rose of life, injecting and stretching the opponent's muscles, alienating them into an unspeakable scourge egg.
After doing all this, the young man under the black top hat showed a cold smile, stared at the dim sunlight cast through the haze, turned around and disappeared into the corner of the alleyway, leaving only a muttering word.
"Two magicians are missing."
……………
The topic of Julius did not continue, and all the information of the Agent was locked up by the Templar Church.
Generally speaking, knowing the name and appearance is the limit, unless the agent is transferred to another agency.
After knowing that the other party was the agent, Gold's interest was obviously much lower. It's like a ship that has lost its power and is forced to stop in the middle of the ocean, and it only needs a baptism of storm to capsize in the sea.
Taking a bite of the fragrant beef, Chen Qi looked at Gold's sad expression: "Are you afraid?" ”
Gold was stunned for a moment, not understanding whether Chen Qi was referring to the agent or Dawei, and immediately turned red, and said angrily: "Who would be afraid." ”
Whether it is Dawei or the surrogate, it is not enough to make the hot-blooded man with the soul of a tiger admit it!
However, even hot-blooded men have unavoidable difficulties.
Swallowing the words that had reached his mouth again, Gold sighed heavily, and said with a melancholy look in his eyes: "I'm just a little unwilling, don't you understand?" ”
Speaking of this, Gold hesitated for a moment, and continued: "In addition, there are some personal reasons that are inconvenient to go into detail, anyway, since the rifle has fallen into the hands of the Templar Church, it is better to stay away from the case and the agent. ”
In fact, even if he retrieved the rifle, Gold would only modify the file and hand it over to the Legal Affairs Section, which would decide whether to re-hand it over to the Templar Church, so that he would be able to clean up his responsibilities and end up in a quiet life.
The so-called personal reason is that he wants to cover himself up, at best, he is just a salted fish in the magic world, and not the essence of the beast that adapts to the laws of the jungle.
Inheriting the family magic mark, he has stood above the heads of most magicians, and Gold, who should be living with his head held high, was used by Dawei in this trivial matter.
Even if it is caused by going with the flow and being greedy for a while, such a shameful thing is not allowed to happen to a magician with a family lineage.
Clearing the way is only the first step.
But any magician with some ability will not hesitate to retaliate after solving the trouble, pry open the opponent's mouth with his own strength, double the plunder enough resources to make up for himself, and then forge ahead on the road of magic, exploring unknown mysteries and knowledge.
If you don't fight back when you are in the shade, if this word spreads, Gold will immediately become a soft persimmon that everyone wants to pinch in the clock tower.
At that point, his magic career was completely dead.
The so-called human heart is so sinister, a carelessness in a small matter will trigger a chain amplification reaction.
Under the skin of the painting are tigers and wolves, at that time, many magicians will openly and secretly try to attack, which will make Gold tired to deal with the constant bloodletting, if he continues to be weak, and finally those real hunters will act, and the precise hunting will eat his inheritance, and the state of plunder will be fully revealed.
Even if Gold can still save his life and escape back to his hometown, how can he face himself, I am afraid that he will end up with a young heart that is not good and even dies violently.
The most important thing is that he can't face Fanny's concern, and the so-called anger is like this.
This is the key to Gold's reluctance.
As an alchemist, he actually cares about the feelings and thoughts of artificial people.
As a man, he can't respond to Fanny's offer.
It really sucks.
