Chapter 2 Adults
The black carriage rumbled against the stone pavement, breaking the silence of the night.
Finally stopped by a high-end hotel, and the three of them entered and opened a large suite. The thieves who had been following him breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared into darkness once more. Go back and report back to their boss, McGee has been here for so many years after all, it is impossible to be defenseless.
As the stalker walked out of the darkness and through the back door into the dazzling light of McGee. No matter how many times he came, he still felt that his heart was full of shock, such a luxurious living room, such noble rights, and ...... Such a beautiful woman. But none of this belonged to him, he was just a little thief, and he was still far from McGee's position, and it was already the greatest luxury of a little thief to reach such a level in ten years.
"They're already in?" McGee's fat body sank into the luxurious couch, and on the other side of the couch, the beautiful cat-like woman curled up, put down the book in her hand, and looked at the little thief in front of her with big eyes.
"Yes, Mr. McGee, they stayed in the Song of the Wanderings," said the little thief, trying to lower his head, staring at McGee's big belly, but the corner of his eye still involuntarily fell on the woman next to him, happy to get her attention. By the way, McGee prefers to be called Mr. instead of Boss.
"Have your people keep an eye on them, and report anything to me, understand?" McGee said with a superior gesture, one of his favorite feelings, high up. And he often regretted that no matter how serious he put on a serious face, he could not compare with that old man of Hyde. He believes that this is due to the lack of power.
But at this moment he didn't mind this little regret, because soon the whole of Saint-Lorre belonged to him, which was promised to him by an "uncle" of the brotherhood, and this day was about to come, he laughed happily, took the woman next to him into his arms and said excitedly: "Athena, I will soon become the king of this city, and you will be the queen immediately." ”
Athena pushed him away with a look of disgust and said, "Aren't you afraid of blood thorns and can't sleep?
"Bloodthorn's envoy is a child, a fool, usually I would break his neck if such a big child dared to look at me and talk, but I really want to kiss him now, his stupidity has given me enough time, and I am about to go further. McGee didn't mind the woman's disgust, but said a little flatteringly.
At this time, Arthur, a "stupid child", was looking in the mirror in the room of the Wandering Song Hotel, and in the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror, his immature body was revealing his childishness to his master. Usually it is this body that restricts his growth, whether it is mental or physical, based on a strong and mature body. But this is the law of life, and even the powerful dragons cannot disobey it. Arthur was helpless.
But helplessness doesn't mean there's no flexibility.
Arthur smiled at all this, then slowly closed his eyes. The originally beautiful face slowly revealed a vague mask shape, shining with a translucent pale blue light, and the light flowed on the body like water, quickly spreading to the whole body, and then blooming violently.
As the light went out, Arthur slowly opened his eyes. A **** human youth appeared in the mirror, although his body still looked a little thin, but his flesh and bones were well-proportioned, and there were also strong muscles. The eyes are still dark green, but the hair has turned black, and the appearance is more like a wonderful fusion of the past life and the present life, certainly not as beautiful as the half-elf, but compared to humans, it can be regarded as entering the ranks of beautiful men.
"Transfiguration" - Goode's Transfiguration is about understanding, but for Arthur, what he knows best is not wolves, not crows, but humans. After all, he has been a man for decades, even if he is not a doctor, but all the structures and patterns of human action are deeply engraved in his soul, but he is limited by strength, and he has not been able to complete this change. It is much more difficult to transform into a human than to transform into a bear, because the beast state cannot use any spells, but a human can, and his transformation form is greater than that of him when he was a half-elf, both in strength and mental power. The reason why it can be used freely is still due to the magic of the Soul Whispering Mask, which replaces the payment of power through absolute understanding.
Arthur clenched his fists and felt the gathering of power, the greatest benefit of the Heart of the Earth for him in the past few years was the increase in strength, this increase was slow and increased over time, while Arthur had time. Comprehending the Heart of the Earth does not give Arthur great power in an instant, but it is stepping into a certain threshold, and if you want to go deeper, you have to explore further. Through the interpretation of Quincy's memories, the highest level of the Heart of the Earth is to directly communicate with the Earth Elemental Realm. Of course, this is something that Arthur does not dare to think of now.
After being excited in the house for a long time, it was the first time that it was successfully used, and the adult body made Arthur, who had been doing it for twenty years, very happy. With fists, kicks, and even a few flips, Arthur put on his prepared clothes, a white silk shirt, black riding trousers, and dark brown calfskin boots. Now Arthur is completely a human aristocratic child who is preparing to participate in an evening game.
Ruo Yi and Kim were waiting in the small living room bored, not even in the mood to quarrel. There were many things that Arthur did not tell them, and it seemed to them that it was impossible to take the entire city. But when Arthur stepped out of the closed door, they almost stared out.
"Ya...... Boss Arthur, is that you?": Kim asked in a shudder, forgetting his usual title, and would have almost drawn his sword now if it weren't for confirming that no one could infiltrate Arthur's room.
And Ruoyi was completely dumbfounded, and it was obvious that Arthur's current appearance had a greater impact on her: was that smiling young man really the usual precocious and stinky child?
"Okay, we'll talk about that later, it's almost time, and our guests will be here soon. Arthur smiled, his voice clear and slightly hoarse, apparently no longer a child's voice.
"Guest, what guest?" Kim asked immediately, having regained his composure. And Ruoyi, who had just woken up a little, heard Arthur's voice and froze again.
"You'll know right away!" Arthur smiled mysteriously.
The night passed quickly.
Mark is depressed now, as he was when he lost the battle with McGee for the chairmanship a few years ago. In order to prevent McGee's retaliation, he simply took refuge under Hyde's men. With McGee doing something excessive, Hyde seemed interesting to hand over the position of president of Saint-Rolle to him this year, but at this time, McGee's bastard actually rebelled, and the position of president was lost, and he even had to cooperate with a child to carry out an impossible task. And just now, he received a message from Arthur's subordinate, who seemed to be named King, asking him to gather his men and prepare to capture McGee alive. He thought the kid was crazy.
He had a lot of good men under him, or rather Hyde's men, but he didn't have any advantage in fighting against the snake McGee, let alone capture him alive, but Arthur's orders, or Hyde's orders, made him have to gather his men.
At noon, McGee hosted a banquet for the "uncle" of the Brotherhood on the second floor of the Silk Chamber of Commerce, which was the junction of Saint-Roll's forces and the Brotherhood, and the Chamber of Commerce was usually a high-end restaurant, which, by the way, was controlled by him.
Here he will receive the Brotherhood's endorsement and will take over the part of the Brotherhood that is controlled by the Brotherhood, becoming the true underground monarch of the city.
In order to facilitate the handover, he brought with him all his faithful men. And for the sake of safety, he also carried his biggest trump card, Donn, a mage funded by him, who now has the strength of level eight. A lot of difficult problems were dealt with for him, but he believed that there would be no problems today.
Notes: Uncle is not a name or codename, but a position, and the title of the fraternity is a family system, with a "grandfather" or "grandmother" at the top, "uncle" and "aunt" at the top, and "brother" and "sister" at the bottom. To be able to reach the position of "uncle", in the organization, it is the level of Bloodthorn Liver.
