Before leaving the apartment, Salomon summoned three invisible servants and asked them to continue his unfinished dinner. He also told the Cheshire Cat not to steal any food. After that, he immediately followed Wu Guiyue into the portal and returned.
Venerable Karma Taj convened a group of mystics in the headquarters to assign tasks respectively. Most of these mystics were deacons of the New York Temple.
When Salomon arrived at the martial arts training ground at the headquarters, New York Temple Master Daniel was leading a team to open portals and go to all corners of New York. When Salomon saw such a large number of mystics dispatched, he suddenly became a little nervous
, for fear that he would be delayed or miss something. After seeing Salomon's expression, the Venerable waved his hand to signal Salomon to relax.
"It's a matter of the Merlin school." The Venerable said to Salomon standing beside him, "I know what you are thinking, but something went wrong with Balthazar, not long after you left. You should take it with you
On the mobile phone, Balthazar has already informed you."
"I'm sorry, teacher." Salomon lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He quickly asked, "What happened?"
The Supreme Mage told the general story of the matter without any tension, which also included the love-hate entanglement between Balthazar, Hoffas and Veronica. The plot was quite bloody and cliche.
For example, Veronica chose Balthazar, how Hoffas came to hate out of love, how Veronica sacrificed herself to seal Morgan Le Fay, and how Balthazar wandered the world for more than a thousand years, just to
Find an heir to seek relief. This plot is like an eight o'clock soap opera, which can earn a lot of tears from middle-aged women. It can be called a bloody anecdote in Camelot - if it weren't for the Lancelot episode
If anything, the incident between Merlin's three apprentices would be enough to keep the whole city talking about it for a whole year.
Compared to the magic called "Spirit Summoning" obtained by Morgan Le Fay, the Supreme Mage was more willing to discuss the love and hatred between the three of them in the Merlin Wizards. You know, at that time, the Supreme Master was still
He was busy fighting wars and peace, marching and killing people, so he missed many interesting things. Now the Supreme Mage is more like an old man, often bringing the past to the present to savor. This makes Salomon a little confused.
Good, because in this case, the Supreme Mage was still chatting about gossip very leisurely - although Salomon also likes to hear gossip, no one doesn't like it, but now is not the time to talk about this.
Seemingly seeing the disciple's anxiety, the Venerable smiled and comforted Salomon. "Don't worry, Hoffas is not thinking about Morgan Le Fay wholeheartedly." The Venerable said, "Why do you think I said those things?
Hoffas helped Morgan Le Fay only because of his relationship with Balthazar's love rival, and Veronica also used her body to seal Morgan Le Fay's clone, which means..."
"In other words, the 'Spirit Summoning Ceremony' is not Hoffas's ultimate goal?" Salomon suddenly realized, "Nor is releasing Morgan Le Fay? His ultimate goal should be to remove Morgan Le Fay from Veronica
Liberate yourself from your body?”
"That's right!" The Venerable nodded, "This is Hoffas's ultimate goal. Releasing Veronica and letting Morgan Le Fay perform the 'Spirit Summoning Ceremony' is just one step that Hoffas wants to take. As for
How to expel Morgan Le Fay from Veronica's body... This is his plan."
Salomon rubbed the ring subconsciously. If what the Venerable said was what Hoffas thought, then Hoffas was the most determined dog-licker he had ever seen. He spent more than a thousand years just for
Save the one you love, even at the expense of your allies.
The Venerable seemed to have used the Eye of Agamotto to view all possibilities, which was why he became so leisurely after assigning the mystics of the New York Temple to perform tasks. But when Salomon asked Hoffas
When it came to how to plot against Morgan Le Fay, the Supreme Mage asked a very basic question.
"What do we rely on to cast spells?"
"Soul." Salomon replied. This basic question is a required course for every spellcaster. Without a strong enough soul, powerful magic cannot be cast. Even a new mystic can answer this question.
The Supreme Mage walked slowly toward the library of the headquarters, Salomon following behind.
The Venerable asked again, "So, what is the result of failed spell casting?"
"The soul was counterattacked by magic..." Salomon immediately understood Hoffas's plan.
The soul strength of Morgan Le Fay's clone is far greater than that of Veronica. After Veronica sealed the clone with her own body, Morgan Le Fay's soul quickly gained the upper hand, so Balthazar chose to seal Veronica.
But if Morgan le Fay fails when casting an extremely powerful magic, the ensuing magic backlash will be enough to deal a heavy blow to the clone's soul. By then, even if Morgan le Fay cannot be completely expelled from Vero
Nika's body and Veronica's soul will become dominant again.
"Teacher, you have seen the end of things again, right?" Salomon asked, "That's why you let the mystics of the New York Temple ensure the development of things and guide them to the ending you envisioned. Just like you sent
I went to investigate the "Book of Darkness", and the result was to ensure that Jubilus was completely killed."
"You have to understand that some things will never happen if you say them." His Holiness said, "It's like a prophecy. After hearing the prophecy, the person concerned took measures to avoid the prophecy coming true, which instead led to the predicted results. If
I tell you in advance that your target is not the "Dark God Book" but Jubilus and Bayonetta, and what follows will not happen. I also did not tell the mystic of the New York Temple the full story.
Just divide it into many tasks and assign them. Some people's tasks are just to ensure that a person does not fall, or to throw a can into the trash can. But when countless variables come together, it can
To steer the things we want in the right direction.”
"You have told me the outcome of this matter, so it is definitely not for me to participate in Hoffas' plan." Salomon asked, "Why did you come to me?"
"Balthazar landed on the American continent from New England." His Holiness suddenly mentioned an unrelated topic, "And you have been to that place."
"I've been to Maine, I've been to Massachusetts, and the people there all look like Truman," Salomon said. "Okay, I admit it's a joke. I think you mean, Balsa
Did Ze make landfall in Massachusetts or Maine?”
"Massachusetts, he went to the town of Salem and participated in the Salem Witch Trials at that time."
The words of the Supreme Mage reminded Salomon of his impression of Salem many years ago. There were ancient buildings with black tiles and gray walls everywhere, and the pace of life was extremely slow. However, the one that impressed Salomon the most was a restaurant called Ye Olde Pepper Candy.
Outside Campanie's candy store, there is the lingering stench of alien magic (see Chapter 8 for details).
"There are many dark wizards imprisoned in Balthazar's magic item, one of which was captured in Salem. However, if Hoffas wants to release Veronica, he must release the dark wizard.
In fact, this dark wizard is much more dangerous than the other dark wizards captured by Balthazar. He does not know the identity of the witch. The Salem Witch Trial was also caused by her - she let the people there
People became mad, but Balthazar didn't kill her because he didn't know what it was. You have only one goal." His Holiness stopped in front of the library door and turned to look at Salomon,
