Anna Helström was wearing a delicate gray wool spring trench coat tightly tied around her waist. But now she looked as if she wanted to throw the trench coat to the floor and jump up to give Salomon a slap in the face.
Fist. "What do you know." She asked in a cold tone, "Tell me everything you know. And where is this? I know we are not on the sidewalk. Is this your magic?"
"Hmm." The mystic raised his eyebrows at the lady. He finally aroused her interest. The source of all the pain in her life came from her father, including her mother who was tortured and went crazy.
Salomon was unclear about the specific events, but this did not prevent him from blaming Mardur for the tragic childhood experiences of Anna Helström and her brother (which was also true).
"This is a magical world. The magic in your body is always reminding you not to forget the past. This is something you can't escape because your soul is not a human soul and your body is not a human body." Salo
Meng stretched out his hand and invited Anna Helstrom to walk out of the portal, "When you walk out of this door, you have the power to choose - to pretend that your past is the life of ordinary people, and that supernatural phenomena are nonsense.
Or fight with me against your evil father? Ha! Your expression already tells me the answer. Madam, please come with me, we need a quiet place to talk."
"You agreed that we should find a quiet place." Anna Helstrom narrowed her fox-like slender eyes. After she walked out of the portal, she came to a place with only a few empty tables and chairs.
People speaking a somewhat unfamiliar language gathered in front of the bar, and the aroma of coffee filled the warm place. No one paid attention to their arrival, because people kept coming in and out, and the guests' attention was focused on the freshly brewed coffee.
I don't have time to pay attention to other people.
Is this magic? This is completely different from what I used in the past! Anna looked at the strange woman with short hair standing next to Salomon suspiciously, "Where is this? And, who is this?"
"I'm glad that you can still maintain your dignity after experiencing such an unprecedented thing. It can be seen that you have received a good education." Salomon introduced Anna to her with a smile, "This is my subordinate,
Ms. Maya Hansen, she just finished purchasing equipment, and also told me about a good coffee shop. Don’t worry, most locals only wait for a minute to wait for the hottest and freshest coffee. Only tourists like us do that.
Stay here for more than ten minutes. I hope you like Italian coffee. I’ll forget it. I’m psychologically allergic to coffee, so just have a cup of juice. Please sit down, we don’t need to do as the Romans do.”
Maya Hansen wrinkled her nose. She was too familiar with the taste of coffee. Every time she did research, she relied on this thing to survive. "The familiar taste." She sighed, "We should be researching
Add a coffee machine to the room, boss. Without that thing, other equipment cannot operate. Electrical appliances need electricity, and I need coffee, the good-tasting kind, not instant coffee."
"You have your own company?" Anna was a little curious, "You look like you're still underage!"
"No, it's just a private magic research institution affiliated with Karma Taj. There are not many people. Except for Ms. Hansen, the other employees' business abilities are not outstanding." Salomon did not want to take the topic to the Eternal City.
Quoted above, "Let's get down to business, ma'am, I'm sure you can't wait to find out about your 'father'."
"Hello!" Dave did not listen to Salomon's suggestion and turned his second-hand car into a sports car. He thought it was too arrogant. But Salomon did not return, and he parked the car downwind.
, the cold wind of spring penetrated through every gap in the car body, and his thin sweatshirt could not resist the cold. Dave shivered in the driver's seat, and finally he stretched out his head and looked around
look.
"Whatever!" He muttered in a low voice and put his hands on the steering wheel. "I want a car with air conditioning and no air leakage! Shit, not a sports car! Change it, change it!"
"Don't you know how conspicuous your car is? It's half a sedan and half a sports car, and it can still start! I'm very curious about what the transmission of this car is like." After a while, Salomon said
He appeared next to Dave's car window and handed Dave a cup of hot coffee. He didn't buy it from that cafe. Italian bars don't sell takeaway coffee.
"I walked away for a while and you got into trouble," he said.
"Let me go, casting spells accurately requires concentration. I have a headache now, and my brain is used in class." Dave covered his face in pain. This is not the first time that his spell casting went wrong.
This thing happened when he first started learning magic. But Balthazar never blamed him. He only thought that Dave still needed to learn, so Dave, as the person involved, didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing.
"I can help you cover it up with illusions. Don't count on my transformation. I'm not specialized in magic in this area." Salomon got into the co-pilot and began to cast spells. "But you really have to study hard.
"He said, "The magic effect on Balthazar has disappeared. Even if he does not have Merlin's magic, for a druid and a wizard, his lifespan is coming to an end. Give him more time to enjoy love.
Well, our generation of spellcasters must become independent as soon as possible and take over the responsibilities of the previous generation."
"Why did you suddenly say these things?" Dave put down the hand covering his face and asked the mystic with doubts, "Did something happen during the negotiation?"
"No, the negotiations went very well." Anna Helström, or Satana, rejected most of the Mystic Mage's proposals. She just accepted the invitation and agreed to maintain communication with Salomon. For Salomon
Salomon's other conditions, which she thinks are too unrealistic to talk about now - the conditions given by Salomon are that when Marduk fails, Anna will rule the area as his minister after he ascends the seventh throne.
The territory that originally belonged to Marduk - this plan is indeed a bit unrealistic now, and Salomon is not too insistent.
As for the prerequisite for maintaining communication, Salomon can exorcise the devil in her mother. This devil is also the one who possesses her biological father, that is, Marduk. Salomon agreed to this request, and Marduk
Ke doesn't have much power in the human world, so he can't waste much energy to complete this task.
The Mystic Mage had a premonition. He always felt that after he went to war with Marduk, the Supreme Mage's work would be completed. He didn't know where this premonition came from. It might be a hint made by Agamotto in private, or something
It may be the judgment brought to him by his stigmata, or it may be just conjecture and experience. In any case, Salomon's desire for the growth of his own power is becoming more and more urgent - he knows that this kind of thinking is bad, and temperance is his first priority.
A lesson. But Marduk, a lord of hell, a devil who calls himself Satan, still puts a lot of pressure on him.
The Supreme Mage didn't care about this kind of thing, because Belial's contract represented an alliance across hell and abyss, an attack on the Seventh Throne, and there were countless creatures from the lower planes who hated Salomon.
I don't know, one more Marduk really doesn't mean anything.
Dave frowned and asked hesitantly, "Balthazar...how much time does he have left?"
"I don't know, probably within ten years. Unless Merlin takes him to Avalon, the eternal ideal land, but you also know that you can't count on Merlin for anything." The mystic mage sighed, "Now we can only work hard to improve.
As for ourselves, when the previous generation gets older, we will have to face those terrible things alone."
