Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh curse and prophecy
"Certificate."
"You still don't know how old I am, you old guy!" Salomon glared at the bar owner and snapped his fingers towards the tray holding four glasses of wine. "If I guessed correctly, this
The stuff came from some friend who wasn't even a friend." Before returning to his seat, Salomon gestured to the boss with his chin to look at the shotgun hanging on the wall behind the bar. The shotgun was covered in Gothic inscriptions.
The gun was decorated with twisted patterns and skulls, and the handle of the gun was wrapped with an iron chain. The whole gun exuded terrible heat as if it had just been taken out of the furnace. The mystic asked casually, "Do you know him?"
"Ghost Rider asked someone to deliver this thing." The bar owner said without raising his head, "It is said that he is doing well now."
"I don't think so." Salomon shook his head.
As far as he knew, Johnny Blaze, the bearer of Ghost Rider, had successively found several jobs as a stunt motorcycle rider, but none of them were stable. Frequent unemployment caused him to rely entirely on his journalist girlfriend to support himself. Kamatai
Although Ji also gave him an allowance, Johnny Blaze's pride always made him refuse the assistance of Kama Taj and his girlfriend, and went to work in unknown places to earn extra money - it is said that not long ago he was
He was stopped by the police for speeding and driving without a license. In the end, it was the local Kama Taj mystic who bailed him out. The mystic shook his head not to think about irrelevant things, turned around and called the invisible servant to carry the tray.
The two brothers Wanda and Durham were already waiting there.
"Beer, beer, tequila, martini." Salomon sat down next to Wanda and faced the two Durham brothers. The reason why the two agreed to take a plane from South America to New York to meet Salomon
The meeting with Meng was not because of Karma Taj's appeal or the relationship with Master Daniel, but because they thought Karma Taj might have something they needed. They wanted to exchange it for a deal-maybe a book
The book may be a magic weapon. The Durham brothers have no idea what it is, but they still insist that Kama Taj owns that thing. They watched with wide eyes as Salomon casually shaped the etheric spirit body into
Serving oneself makes one's own ideas more certain.
"This matter has something to do with a prophecy." The elder Dram's name is Daniel Dram, the same name as the wizard Daniel of Karma Taj. "In other words, a curse. This matter is quite a bit in the wizarding world.
Well-known, and a bit old-fashioned." He laughed dryly, and only Wanda listened to the story with interest. However, to her disappointment, the story was not long and quite boring. "There was once a man with whom
The witches who were hostile to the Durham family predicted that only one person in each generation of the Durham family would survive, and this curse has been circulating in the blood of the Durham family for two hundred years."
"You want to lift the curse?" Salomon nodded, "You can, but there is no guarantee that you will succeed."
He is not some cool hero whose brain is underdeveloped. He opens his mouth and asks others to unconditionally execute orders that they do not understand. He does not mind listening to other people's ideas and accepting the conditions given by others. Even if he does not accept it, he buys others a drink.
He still has the money. The Drum brothers obviously didn't expect Salomon to be so easy to talk to - in the mouth of their distant relatives, Salomon is the heir of the Supreme Mage, and his status is much higher than that of spellcasters from other schools like them.
In this hierarchical world of magic, knowledge is power. Karma Taj and the Supreme Mage have the supreme and unshakable status. It is because they have the most powerful knowledge that the old guy Daniel originally wanted to find a way to lift the curse.
He just entered Karma Taj to study. However, after so many years, the old guy Daniel has learned nothing, so he thinks that Salomon may know some knowledge that only the Supreme Mage can know, and that knowledge can solve the problem that has troubled the Drum family for hundreds of years.
curse.
"I need to conduct experimental analysis." Salomon gestured to the Drum brothers to stretch out their arms, and he took out two blood collection bottles and needles. The Drum brothers followed it very nervously. After all, they gave blood and hair.
In the magical world, trust is very important, but the Drum family has no choice. If they want to lift the curse, they have to cooperate with Salomon's actions. Now the two brothers can only pray to their ancestors for Salomon and Ka
Mahtaj is trustworthy.
After the brief meeting, Salomon booked a hotel room for the Durham brothers and asked them to wait there for news.
"Can you really lift their curse?" Wanda Maximoff asked in a low voice, "I think they must not be telling the truth. How can any witch be idle and bored to curse people. This kind of thing sounds like
It's like something from a fairy tale. Have you heard of Baba Yaga's story? I think breaking the curse hastily will not end well."
In legends, if a husband beats his wife for no reason, he will be cursed by Baba Yaga. The person who casts the lifting spell must pay the price of his life to lift the curse, and the soul will become a slave of Baba Yaga. Since ancient times, there have been rumors about curses.
The legends are all mixed true and false, but what is certain is that a curse passed down through the bloodline must be quite powerful, and the more powerful the curse, the higher the price to be paid when it is lifted.
According to Salomon's understanding, whenever one of the twins of the Drum family dies unexpectedly, the power of the soul of the deceased will be transferred to the living, making it stronger. He even suspected that this curse was cast by the ancestor of the Drum family himself.
, in order to allow this originally undistinguished family to continuously accumulate strength and become stronger through blood inheritance. This kind of thing has not happened before. In many schools based on family inheritance, family love is a non-existent concept.
, the ultimate mystery is far more important than blood inheritance. Salomon can easily give a few examples of exploring the ultimate truth by possessing descendants. If the ancestors of the Drum family planned to use their descendants as sacrifices, then he would have no idea at all.
Wouldn't be surprised.
"Of course I know, Wanda, but I didn't promise that I would definitely lift the curse." Salomon put the blood collection bottle into his pocket, then threw the lemon and salt into his mouth, picked up the tequila and drank it all.
"If the cost of solving this matter is far greater than the cost of solving Quetzalcoatl, I will not be kind enough to help." He said, "They are not the only ones who can find clues to Quetzalcoatl, and I am not stupid enough.
It will be a loss-making business."
After Salomon returned to the temple, the old wizard Daniel hurriedly approached him and wanted to ask for details, but Ms. Calamity wore a ridiculously stupid mask with bulging eyes to stop him from going further. This crazy woman
As long as you don't touch the books and magical artifacts in the temple, you have a lot of autonomy. The reason is simply because this woman's prophetic status can always bring unexpected surprises to Karma Taj.
"You won't make it, old guy. Your brother is still crying on you!" She turned around suddenly, startling Wanda Maximoff. Ms. Calamity pointed at the crude mask she made,
Her orange-red bulging eyes became a little scary under her tone. She said in a low voice, "I saw you insert a sacrificial knife into a woman's chest and take out her heart. This is the only way to kill the big snake, Sa
Lomon, you have to make a decision."
She stretched her hand to Salomon's forehead, and then the Mystic saw what Lady Calamity saw.
