"George, what should we do?"
Sitting in a corner of the tavern, the magician who was traveling with him asked George.
"What else can we do?" George said angrily.
"Otherwise." The magician's eyes flashed with greed and ferocity, "I still have a little bit of Hydra poison in me."
"Put the thoughts in your head back into your asshole, Runn." George said speechlessly, "Do you want to open your eyes and see where this is?"
"What do you mean by letting a man be poisoned to death in the Merlin Tavern?"
This magician named Luen is obviously a bit young. He studied at Hogwarts when Char stopped teaching, so he obviously lacks awe of Merlin.
He said a little unconvinced, "We did it more secretly, who would have known it was us?"
"Who didn't know it was us?" George became even more speechless for a moment. "Do you think we need any more evidence to deal with this kind of existence? A suspicion is enough."
"Merlin has not appeared for decades." Rune continued, "Who knows if he is still alive, and when Hognid takes control of the magic world, it will be Merlin."
"Shut up!" George lowered his voice slightly angrily and yelled, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Who told you what on earth could make you have such a stupid idea in your head?"
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Even Mr. Hognid doesn't dare to face Merlin directly or be so disrespectful to him. What are you talking about?"
Luen was a little embarrassed by what George said, but he still turned around with a grunt of dissatisfaction.
"Okay." Another magician sitting next to Luen came out to smooth things over. "Luen also serves our common goal. We can't just sit here."
"Why not?" George said, "White is here, he can't go out, and once he goes out, he will be caught by our people who are guarding outside.
Therefore, it is equivalent to saying that this place has become a natural cage to imprison him. We just need to ensure that he will not appear at the election site, right? "
"Ha." Lu En sneered, "Do you think others are fools? Since they can think of coming here, they can think of how to leave. Only by getting rid of them directly can we avoid future troubles."
"What are you going to do?"
Luen silently took out a small glass pendant from his arms. The water in the pendant was rippled, and purple liquid was flowing in it.
It was Hydra poison, but it was diluted. If it were not diluted, they and the magicians around them would be poisoned to death.
However, even if it is diluted, it is enough to poison an adult magician.
George seemed to want to say something else.
The waiter on the side came over and placed the cocktails they ordered in front of them.
"This is what you ordered," he said.
"Thank you," George replied.
"My name is Semele." Semele stood beside them and said with a formulaic smile on his face, "I am the bartender here. You guys look very unfamiliar, you probably don't come here very often, right?"
"Except for me, it's all their first time here," George said.
"Is that so? It's no wonder." Semele nodded.
He turned sideways and raised his hand to indicate the direction of the bar.
"If it's your first time here, you can read the rules of the tavern."
“No smoking allowed, no loud noise allowed, and.”
Semele still had a slight smile on his face. He looked at Roen, his eyelids slightly closed.
"No trouble allowed"
The moment Semele finished speaking, the pupils of all the magicians nearby shrank to a point.
A tremor originating from their souls surged from the bottom of their hearts.
In an instant, they seemed to be enveloped by a darkness they had never seen before. In front of their eyes, a giant that penetrated the sky and the earth appeared, overlooking them with an absolute attitude.
In front of this giant, they were as small as ants.
Unprecedented fear enveloped them
After a while, the fear finally disappeared.
Luen let out a sharp breath and began to breathe heavily. His forehead was already covered with sweat, and even his clothes were soaked.
The same goes for the rest of the magicians, either leaning on the back of the chair or leaning down, breathing heavily, all looking like they are surviving the disaster.
Although only a few dozen seconds passed, it seemed as if several hours had passed.
But then Semele's voice came from one side.
"Understand?"
George looked at Semmerer, who still had that harmless and friendly smile on his face.
But somehow, an inexplicable chill arose from the bottom of their hearts.
He nodded subconsciously.
Semele bowed to them and bowed, and then slowly left here.
"Who is that?"
Luen relaxed slightly, with a little disbelief in his eyes.
"The bartender at Merlin's Tavern," George said.
He looked at Luen and the others.
"I told you, this is Merlin's Tavern."
They fell silent. This time, even Luen fell silent. He silently put away the pendant without saying a word.
Semele was away from the tavern some time ago, but he just came back these days.
In a sense, these people are quite unlucky.
However, Xia Ya didn't care about what happened in the tavern.
He was currently in his laboratory with Tony studying the skeleton he had brought out of Olympus.
The skeleton was placed on the research table by Char at this moment, but the chains were removed.
At this moment, the skull's head was covered with gray hair, but it was still withered and lifeless.
"That's for sure."
Tony raised his glasses, "The hair is indeed hair, not some unknown parasite, and it did grow out of this thing.
Moreover, not only the hair, but also some skin tissue seems to be gradually proliferating outside the skeleton, but it is not obvious yet.
At this rate, within a year, he will become a dry corpse, no.”
Tony looked carefully.
"It should be her."
“There are also real human tissues such as skin tissue, muscle tissue, blood vessels, nerves, blood, internal organs, etc. It will take about twenty to thirty years to grow and complete.
Then, the body will gradually return to life, but it is unknown whether consciousness will be restored. "
"I did some cell refining, and her tissue cells are different from normal human cells. They seem to contain some unknown energy."
Tony leaned against the table and thought for a moment.
"If you assume she is a god, then we can temporarily name this energy "divinity."
Her divinity is gradually increasing. "
He looked at Char and joked, "If it is really a god, what kind of god do you think it is?"
"She was found outside Hera's room." Char said.
"Hera?" Tony whispered softly, "I would rather she be Aphrodite."
"Who wouldn't want to kiss the beautiful goddess Fangze?"
Chara smiled.
Tony's words continued, "The question now is. Is this the case with this one thing, or is this the case with other things?"
"I think the latter is more likely." Xia Ya said.
"What are you going to do with this hot commodity?" Tony asked, "You can't destroy it, otherwise, put it back?"
"Just leave it here." Xia Ya said quietly, "Let Him remind us of the arrival of that moment and sound the alarm for the arrival of the last moment."
"Using a god as a clock?" Tony's expression was a bit wonderful.
"It's not confirmed yet, is it?" Xia Ya said, "No one knows the answer until He really reveals his appearance. Besides, aren't you curious?"
Tony grinned slowly, "As a scientist, curiosity is the most basic thing."
Char's eyelids closed slightly, he said goodbye to Tony and left the laboratory.
He stayed with Tony for many days and has been studying this skeleton. However, Charia is not a professional researcher. The rest can be left to Tony. He will give Charia a detailed answer.
It was already early in the morning when we returned to the castle, and the sky was very gloomy. The castle stopped at a small town in the west of Britannia.
This used to be the territory of Beizhou Kingdom. The architectural style and humanities are very different from those in the east, but both sides have been influenced by their own.
These days are the beginning of the first lunar month, and the sound of fireworks can often be heard in the town, which is very lively.
Xia actually paid a little attention to matters in the magic world and knew that today was election time, but he didn't care.
Destiny will guide them to deal with their own affairs.
However, the final outcome may require Xia Ya to think about it.
"Where's Alicia?" Char asked Calcifer.
"Upstairs," Calcifer said.
Xia Ya nodded, walked up the stairs slowly, and opened the bedroom door.
Alicia was just sitting on the bedside, wearing a very common Beichen-style short coat and skirt, which gave her the feeling of a female student in the Republic of China. However, the female students in the Republic of China wore a short coat and a long skirt. This skirt was slightly shorter and lined with a pair of skirts. The flesh-colored stockings are so thin that if you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all, adding to the hazy feeling.
Although time has not left any traces on Alicia's body, it has also made her temperament become more refined. After putting on this green school uniform, she has a different kind of beauty.
This piece of clothing may be nothing in modern times, but in this era, it is absolutely unwearable.
Seeing Xia Ya come back, Alicia got off the bed and walked to Xia Ya and whispered.
"Is the matter done?"
"Almost." Xia Ya said.
Alicia slowly squatted down, took off Xia Ya's shoes and put them on the shoe cabinet on the side, and put on a pair of light slippers for him.
There was some doubt in Xia Ya's eyes. Alicia would bring him slippers in the past, but she had never squatted down to take off his shoes herself and put them on for him like today.
But soon, she stood up slowly, got very close to Xia Ya, and whispered in his ear.
"Let me help you take off your clothes, okay?"
She used the Chinese script that Xia Ya was most familiar with. Her voice was warm and pure, and her words were straight and round, like gurgling water or like the wind blowing willows. When she lowered her voice softly, she seemed charming and affectionate, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort.
Then, she stretched out her hand, slowly took off Xia Ya's coat and hung it on the hanger on one side. Then she unbuttoned his shirt, folded the clothes one by one and put them on the side. On the cabinet.
Alicia is very different tonight, and Xia Ya can't tell what it feels like.
Xia Ya didn't know what words to use to describe it, but what he knew was that many men did this. Although Xia Ya is reluctant to admit it, it is undeniable that he seems to be doing this himself.
After folding Xia Ya's clothes, she slowly unbuttoned the short jacket.
She took Charia's arm and led him into the bathroom on one side. There was a chair in the bathroom, and she motioned to Charia to sit down.
And she patiently applied shower gel to Xia Ya and squatted down to wash his feet. Then he was pushed and washed in a big way.
Feeling the warmth of Alicia's body, Xia pulled her over and kissed her forehead gently.
"what do you want to do?"
Alicia did not answer, but pointed to the large tub that was already filled with water on one side.
"Go there."
Chara nodded and entered the bathtub obediently, and Alicia followed.
When he came out of the bathroom again, it was already thirty minutes later. Alicia played him a blue sea tide song. The elegant music was very edifying, and Xia Ya's eyes were purified and clear. Like a living Buddha.
She took a bath towel and wiped Xiaya clean. She wiped every toe very clearly.
Then, she whispered again.
"Wait for me, I'm going to wash up."
With that said, he walked into the bathroom and changed his clothes when he came out again.
Xia Ya couldn't describe it in words. He had heard in the past that some clothes were better than wearing nothing at all. He had seen it today.
Then, she approached Xia Ya and bit his earlobe, "Do you still want to listen to some music?"
Xia Ya whispered a few words in her ear.
Alicia's eyelids closed slightly.
Another few dozen minutes passed, and Charia rested on Alicia's lap. Alicia lowered her head and used nail clippers to cut Xia Ya's nails. Her complexion was much rosier than before.
After cutting her nails, she motioned to Charia to turn around. She took out the ear pick and began to gently pick out Charia's ears.
Her movements were very light, and she exuded a faint fragrance. While she was picking her ears, she was whispering in Xia Ya's ears with her gentle voice.
They chatted about the past and interesting things in school. Alicia's voice was very hypnotic, and coupled with the comfortable feeling brought by the earpick in the ears, Xia Ya only felt that her eyelids were heavy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.
When she woke up again, Alicia still maintained the same action, just gently stroking Char's hair.
"Are you awake?" Alicia asked.
"How long has it been?"
"Twenty minutes, not long." Alicia replied gently, "Turn over."
"Are there any more projects?" Xia Ya raised his eyebrows, but still turned over obediently.
Alicia picked up a bottle of essential oil from the cabinet on the side, poured a little on her hands and rubbed it.
While rubbing it, he even came close to Xia's ear. The unique white noise made her drowsy.
After that, she started to massage Chara's back with oil.
Alicia had never done this before, so the movements were unfamiliar, but comfortable.
Xia Ya hummed slightly comfortably, lying on the bed and murmured softly.
"You are all, where did you learn these?"
"I have a student who opened a massage parlor like this." Alicia said softly, "I had a chat with her in the pub yesterday."
"This massage parlor must have made a lot of money, right?" Xia Ya said with a smile.
"Making money is secondary. Many magicians like to go there." Alicia turned over and sat on Char's lower back, so that she could use her strength better.
“There are even high-level officials of the Magic Association who know many of the Magic Association’s secrets.
Therefore, even though there were many Muggles in the store, the senior officials of the Magic Association still turned a blind eye.
Angel's character is not bad, but the girls in it are just trying to make ends meet.
Although I don't like this kind of place, it is undeniable that this is the tragedy of the times and not their fault alone.
I think, if it is true as Gayward thinks, the magician has lost the imprisonment he has now.
Will "involuntary" become more and more common? "
Xia Ya was speechless.
"Albus found me the other day."
Alicia massaged Char's neck.
"Let me hold you back during the election."
"No wonder." Xia Ya whispered, and he smiled lazily, "I have to say, his brain is really easy to use."
Alicia leaned down, pressed on his back, and whispered into his ear.
"Do you want to go there?"
Warm moisture gushed over Xia Ya's earlobes. Xia Ya's ears were very sensitive, and his heart felt itchy.
"Are there any other projects in the future?"
"Also, there are quite a few."
Xia Ya took a deep breath to calm down a little, and then he smiled helplessly.
"You really have a handle on it." (End of chapter)
