Chapter 138: Confrontation

"So, it's really just your problem?"

Under the strange gaze of the hooded man, the old man coughed unnaturally, and a trace of saliva rushed out of the swollen corner of his mouth, which was hurriedly avoided by the hooded man. At this time, the old man, with a blue nose and swollen face, subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, but suddenly hissed in pain, and he forgot that the place was still swollen.

"Well, that's true. After relieving himself, the old man looked unconcerned, "Blame me for being too conflicted at that time, too entangled and too distressed about whether to inherit the family skills." As a result, no matter who touched it, I was like an exploding ** bucket, and I ended up with chicken feathers. ”

"It's not, I don't listen to persuasion, I'm as stubborn as a donkey, and ah, I even beat myself. The hooded man teased.

"Ahem!" the old man covered his mouth, and then said freely, "It's different now, I've seen it thoroughly, it's time to enjoy a good life!"

"Don't go back and try again?"

"No, no, even the woman I love the most can't persuade me, let alone others. The knot in my heart has to be untied in time, so let it pass. ”

"Okay, just by this last sentence, I have to think highly of you. The hooded man smiled.

"Oh yes, wait for me. ”

Laughing proudly twice, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, and after hurriedly giving a command, he hurried upstairs. After a while, he ran downstairs again, dressed in summer casual clothes, carrying two suitcases, one large and one small. With a push of his hand, he opened the small box and sent it to the hooded man.

Pointing to the empty box, the old man said with a smile, "Three hundred." ”

With a smile, the hooded man pointed out, and a pile of gold gallons immediately appeared in the box. The old man didn't count this time, closed the box directly, and then carried the two boxes to the hooded man.

"It seems that the past cannot be changed, at least the future has changed. ”

As he spoke, the hooded man stepped out of the door first, followed by the old man. The two walked all the way, the hooded man looking left and right at the scenery, while the old man kept saying goodbye to the people in the same village around him. When he arrived in the open area of the suburbs and saw that there was no one around, the old man finally couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to the hooded man, telling him what he had just come all the way to and pressed into his heart.

"In the past, there were actually some changes, such as now, because I beat myself up, and as a result, I have two more unfriendly memories in my head. ”

The hooded man glanced at it: "Whatever you want to express, just say it." ”

The old man rubbed his hands: "Hehe, did you say before that with this kind of time-type magic, we can make ourselves young again." ”

"That's what it is, but it's not just your body that changes, it's your consciousness that changes. When you get younger, you are now equivalent to never existing. The hooded man curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the old man with some amusement, "So, would you like to?"

"Oh no, no, no, I didn't mean that!"

Seeing the appearance of the hooded man full of interest, the old man subconsciously trembled, for fear that the other party would do it if he didn't agree with him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and refused. It's just that after saying that, he didn't have a sense of luck, but was a little stupid, walking on the road, wanting to speak several times and stopping.

Seeing this, the hooded man shook his head with a smile: "This road is impassable, but there is another way." ”

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Tell me about it!"

"But I want to make it clear up front that this method will not prolong your life, but may shorten it. ”

The old man hesitated a little, but finally did not give up: "Well, let's talk about it first." ”

"It's good that you're not at the age of death, otherwise this would drastically shorten your natural lifespan. If you die of old age in the future, then if you return to the state of your youth now, your life expectancy will be reduced by a year or two. If you die early due to illness, or if you die early due to misfortune, then you will earn it now, and you can live a few more years. ”

Hearing this, the old man looked relieved: "Hey, what a big deal I should do." Isn't one or two years less just a consequence of a serious illness in the field? Rather than being old and having a short life due to illness, it is better to be younger. ”

"Yes, after all, this meager price is similar to growing an arm again. The hooded man nodded, looking into the distance, as if remembering something.

"Well, this metaphor is a bit weird. The old man was a little confused.

"Really? Okay. The hooded man was noncommittal.

"Well, let's start now!" the old man stood still.

"It started a long time ago. The hooded man stopped and looked back.

"Huh?" the old man was confused.

"See for yourself. ”

As he spoke, the hooded man stepped forward and set off again. At this time, the old man was stunned, looking at his gradually delicate and smooth hands, he was suddenly startled, and he was busy touching his face. After a while, the joy in his eyes grew stronger, and at the same time, he felt the gradually stronger heartbeat and the regained strength of his body, and he couldn't help but look at the figure in front of him.

The hooded man was already far away by this time, and the old man, no, it was a blonde guy, hurried to follow, and did not forget to take out a mirror from the box and face it at himself. When he saw the simple young face, he grinned the corners of his mouth, laughed twice, and then reached out to pull his pants open and looked down.

"Oh, little girls, Uncle Ben is here!"

There was a lewd cry behind him, which made the hooded man begin to regret it a little, and he quickened his pace slightly, further widening the distance between him and the blonde guy. But the young man, who had already regained his youthful state at this time, quickly caught up with his light foot strength.

"Eh, those vines, you made them, right?"

"That's why you're following me?"

"I'm going to the Ministry of Magic to make a report, so I'm on the same road, so let's see it. ”

"Aren't you afraid of being swept in? I really don't know if you're confident or confident in me. ”

"Of course I believe you, what can I do to deal with a large number of people? At first, I wanted to advise you to be careful, but since I saw that scene, I feel that with you, even I will not be in danger. Originally, I guessed that they would be ambushed outside, and not just waiting for you. Be careful, be careful. ”

"Oh, so you're using me as a shield again, so I'll just run away. ”

The hooded man made a gesture to leave, and the guy hurriedly grabbed him.

"Hey buddy, I really didn't mean that this time. You've helped me twice, just do the good thing to the end, help me again. ”

The hooded man didn't respond, and with a slight shock of his arm, the guy's hands involuntarily let go. Rubbing his sore arm, the guy looked surprised and puzzled, but when he saw the hooded man stop in place, he didn't say anything more. However, as time passed, the sun above his head gradually intensified, and the sweaty guy finally couldn't help but speak again.

"What's wrong?"

"We don't have to go for now. ”

The guy reacted quickly, and as soon as the hooded man finished speaking, he leaned over to the latter and looked around.

"Come out! I see you all!" shouted the young man.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black-robed man came out from behind a tree trunk not far away, holding a wand and pointing at the hooded man.

"You're here for that thing, aren't you? Did the old man give it to you?"

"Yes. ”

"Hand it over and save you from torment. ”

"It's gone. ”

"Gone?" the tip of the black-robed man's staff moved slightly, as if he was about to throw out the spell in the next second, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Demolished, repaired, and then destroyed. ”

"Don't make such a joke, leave it to me when it's fixed. At this time, we're not too happy to take your life, so don't try to provoke me again. ”

"I'm not kidding you, and I don't want to play mind games with you. ”

As he spoke, the hooded man turned sideways, bypassing the black-robed man in front of him, not caring at all about aiming his wand at all. The guy followed him closely, almost holding his breath, not daring to look around from beginning to end, just staring at the ground in front of him all the way.

"Stop...... Since you don't listen to persuasion...... Dig into the heart and cut the bones!"

"Poof!"

"Boom!"

"Smack!"

Everything happened between the lightning and the fire, and a dazzling red lightning bolt emitted from the tip of the staff, and the moment it was about to touch the hooded man's back, it was blocked by the sudden appearance of a raging golden flame, dissipating invisibly.

Until now, the guy who had just come back to his senses trembled twice all over his body, and then collapsed to the ground involuntarily. At this time, he looked at the almost violent golden flame in front of him, and then looked at the thick tree trunks behind him, for a while, he didn't dare to approach the hooded man, for fear of being injured by mistake, and he didn't dare to stay away, for fear of being killed by other black-robed people. He was so entangled that he had to freeze in place.

"Kevin Adams, I haven't heard from you for a long time, and this time I actually delivered it myself?" the black-robed man laughed.

"What Kevin?"

The guy was a little confused, watching him until now, thinking that if he could survive, he would pay more attention to current affairs in the future.

"I'm not Kevin. The hooded man's response was beyond the black-robed man's expectations, and when he turned around and took off his hood, the black-robed man was even more stunned on the spot, "You can call me, Henry Cavill." ”
