Chapter 1459 Follow the doctor's advice to take the caliber
When Lara Croft finally put on a dress that she thought was less casual and less grand to attend the breakfast meeting, the witches had already left the manor owner and Millia at the table, and brought their own clothes with them.
The red-haired witch and the mental patient went to the third parlor for their usual morning wine. Soon they would set off and rush to the art gallery in the afternoon to meet Athena from New York, and then visit the famous postmodern painter together.
Vanessa's painting exhibition. Lara Croft saw the owner of the manor putting food into the girl's mouth with a fork, while using a calm and precise tone to describe what she seemed to have heard of. "Living chocolate amphibians"
, Milia." The manor owner asked, "What should you do?"
Milia struggled to swallow the oversized beef. She thought carefully, "Shoot it! It's better to cut it with a knife!"
"That's my good girl, don't forget whoever puts this thing in their mouth, they deserve a bullet too."
"No parent in the world has ever guided their children to shoot when reading the Harry Potter series!" Lara Croft couldn't help but curl her lips. This interpretation is so absurd that it can even be said
With these comedic touches. “It’s a story about love, isn’t it?”
"I think in Texas, children under 10 years old generally read this story with .22 caliber ammunition. Children over 10 years old use .9mm caliber ammunition, and older people use .40 and .45 caliber ammunition. The caliber should gradually increase
Only in this way can we avoid weak wrist failure and protect the bones and ligaments that have not yet fully developed."
"No, I mean... forget it." While waiting for the maid to bring the food to the table, Lara Croft secretly looked at the tall man sitting in the main seat with the corner of her eye. Somehow, she felt
The man seemed to be more approachable today, probably because his face had a more human expression. "You know magic yourself, why do you have to remind Milia to be careful about magic? Are you talking about Cinderella?
Time to shoot the fairy godmother too?"
"If the Fairy Godmother is a bald black man with purple eyeshadow, there's no health hazard in shooting a sheet covered in vomit from a galactic hangover."
"Such a joke is not appropriate for a child like Millia." Lara Croft pointed out, "It will make her a person full of hatred and discrimination."
"Believe me, this is very appropriate." He looked at Laura curiously, "You don't think Milia is my child, do you? She is very special, that's why I adopted her. She is possessed by her grandfather.
The child born to a certain woman by her father is destined to go to a bloody future, and I hope she is prepared before that."
Lara Croft was stunned for a while, she couldn't understand that sentence in a short time.
"ha?"
"The reason why I guided her to do this is because witchcraft is far more dangerous than firearms. Milia's talent far exceeds that of most of the mystics of Karma Taj, second only to me, Bayonetta, and Joan of Arc.
And Wanda. Even I would not abuse extradimensional energy. No one should abuse this energy, and no one should delve into such dangerous knowledge. Some simple knowledge will help Miria build up her awareness of abuse.
Witchcraft." He took out a business card from his wallet, instead of letting the card float out of the open wallet like in the novel. "This is an antique dealer whom I know.
Brokers and appraisal experts, if you want to go to Boston to meet with her, you will know all the information about this child."
"Are you setting a puzzle for me?" Under Winston's disapproving gaze, Lara Croft took the business card with fingers stained with bacon grease, "Anna Hellstrom (Hellstrom)
?Weird last name, what kind of irresponsible hippie parent would name a kid Hellstorm?”
"This is her blood relative, Anna Helström. The same blood flows through their bodies. The genes of murderers and psychopaths have shaped their flesh and blood, and the devil's nightmares have kneaded their souls." He pointed at Mi.
Leah revealed part of the mystery without hesitation. His words were so ruthless that the archaeologist looked at the girl in horror, fearing that the girl would react to such a terrible evaluation.
"This appraisal expert has the same problem as Milia. Magic talent is not something to be envied, but a complete curse. Talent develops from the most basic senses and pushes the senses to the extreme, so the more powerful the talent is
The more sensitive a person's heart is, the more fragile their nerves become, until their talent exceeds a certain threshold or they learn how to control it."
Lara Croft looked at the little girl sitting quietly on his lap. She breathed a sigh of relief quietly. The owner of the manor was not as kind as her father Richard Crawford, although he should give him a little more love.
Not a lot, but she could see the impact of those rigorous training and dogma that were not for her age. Fortunately, Milia didn't look like a patient with the so-called neurological symptoms he said, but she
This made Lara Croft worry about the girl's intelligence level and brain development.
"Sounds like a superpower. Does she have superpowers?"
"Superpowers are actually specific manifestations of the use of extradimensional energy, and all the supernatural phenomena you see are related to them. If you see my eyes emitting heat vision, it is only because I am showing you this ability,
It doesn't mean that I only have this skill." He laughed, "Milia will become a new generation of witch in the future. Her bloodline allows her to sign a contract and control extradimensional spirits. She has this talent."
"You want to take advantage of this kid?"
"This is the only way she can go, Laura, otherwise she will face a future more terrifying than death. Not everyone has the freedom to choose their own future. Everyone must bear their own responsibilities. The so-called choices are just
Just choose between bad and worse." He knocked on the table, "You can choose to go to the London Art Exhibition with the witches today, and then talk about historical topics with my adoptive mother. I mentioned your name to her.
, she admires your work. Believe me, it will be fruitful if you make this choice. You can of course keep pestering me until I am willing to tell you all about Miria, but you know I don't
If you don't know how to speak, you are just wasting your time."
"Your adoptive mother is not an ordinary person, right?" Lara Croft seemed to have some ideas. She believed that if the man in front of her had an adoptive mother, then the way he raised Milia should have come from that adoptive mother. "
No one I know in this manor is an ordinary person. They are either witches who have lived for hundreds of years or crazy prophets. Now even a seemingly ordinary child has extraordinary talents. Are there any ordinary people around you?
?”
"The last time someone asked me who my adoptive mother was, I told him that I had just fed my adoptive mother a bundle of grass that morning, and she also had a beard... Yes, she is not an ordinary person. You know many secrets about this world.
You can get the answer from her only if she is willing to tell you. I think this is very possible, she has always liked adventurers with heroic temperament."
"What about you?" As soon as she asked, she saw the man waving for the maid and handing Milia on his lap to Dinah. Lara Croft thought she would see an old woman with white hair.
However, after following the witch off the plane and getting into the luxury car and arriving at the hotel, she realized that she was terribly wrong.
