Chapter 103 Idun's Golden Apple
"Yo~ Isn't this the little mage of Karma Taj?"

A joking old voice came from mid-air.

Bai Jinglan turned his head to look, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Zhongdu!"

Hmm...Mr. Heavy is a flying head.

A large, bald head in a glass jar.

Bai Jinglan has been here several times with the supreme mage, and is familiar with the mages who often come and go here.

This Mr. Heavy with only a head is said to have been a black wizard or a villain in the mage world. He was beaten half to death by someone, and finally survived tenaciously by magic. The only bartender in the Wumen Bar... Fortunately, he is a powerful magician, and he can completely replace his hands and feet with his thoughts. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to mix and serve drinks with just a big head that can fly.

An old cowboy emerged from under the bar, with two thick mustaches, a black cowboy hat on his head, a plaid shirt on his upper body, a denim vest on the outside, straight jeans and pointed boots underneath.

The old cowboy laughed: "Has the busy boy finally reached the age of drinking?"

Bai Jinglan sat on the chair in front of the bar and said, "Mr. Monarch, as you know, I'm from Huaxia, and we don't have so many rules when it comes to drinking."

Monarch rolled out a cocktail and teased, "But I remember very clearly that you came here a few times and only drank milk every time."

Bai Jinglan shrugged, and replied: "That's because I didn't like alcohol before, drinking milk is better than drinking alcohol."

"now what?"

"Now..." Bai Jinglan picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "Alcohol can relieve worries, and slowly, I will get used to it."

He used to be a teetotaler, but later he was tortured so much because of his magic practice that he had to rely on alcohol to relieve the pain. It wasn't until he practiced the Golden Light Curse that his physical fitness was greatly improved, and he was free from those shocks. Hurt, but the habit of drinking has been formed.

"There is always a price for what we do. If you owe too much, life will find a way to repay it for you. You should have understood this earlier."

Monarch understood what he meant, he lit his pipe and exhaled a puff of white smoke, "In my time, whenever I used a spell to knock down a group of evil warlocks and save some poor blonde girls from their fate , I'll go home that night...and drown one of my rabbits. But I'd rather drown a thousand rabbits for my actions than watch some babies die suddenly in Timbuktu - one life for one This is the way to keep the balance of the universe. Every time we say 'Abu Kedebra', we have to weigh the cost."

"Stop talking about rabbits, Monarch!" He severely interrupted him, looked at Bai Jinglan, and asked enthusiastically, "Little mage, I heard that you have recently become a busy boy, and a black cat The goat cubs were shaking and had a fight with an angel?"

Bai Jinglan smiled: "Dr. Druid told you?"

He curled his lips heavily: "Where is this place? No Gate Bar! As long as it is something about the magic world, there are very few things that we don't know. Why do we need that old guy to talk too much?"

Bai Jinglan took the opportunity to ask: "So, do you know where there is something that prolongs life?"

With a weird expression on his face, he looked at him: "You seem to be in your twenties, right? Do you need to start preparing so early?"

"It's not for me, it's for my friend."

Bai Jinglan briefly said about Max, then looked at them expectantly.

"Things that prolong life, this thing is really rare. Even if it appears occasionally, it is quickly used by people, and there are very few left. If you use magic, the price is too high..." Monarch rubbed his beard, fell silent.

After thinking about it for a while, he turned his head to look at the table of Duke Kooz, and asked loudly, "Hey, does any of you have any news about the treasure that prolongs human life?"

The Duke of Kooz and the others looked at each other, and the female troll Grimlake raised her hand, and replied with some hesitation: "I heard a piece of news, which may not be accurate...someone is in the plague well in Estonia. , I found the Zegundo wand used by Rasputin, and it is going to be sold in the magical black market in Barbados - the House of Glory in Hell. The auction should be held tonight. samples, including three of Eden's golden apples."

Rasputin was a famous magician during the tsarist period. He was proficient in spiritual magic and prophecy magic. The fate of the entire Russian Empire.

This is a celebrity in the magic world. The wand he used to use naturally has a good value.

(PS: Many magicians in the Marvel universe actually have prototypes in the real world. Rasputin is one of them. This guy is equivalent to the Russian Empire’s national teacher. He has plagued Russia for nearly ten years. It is said that he is proficient in hypnotism. And it is especially effective for women. Relying on this skill, he slept with all the noble girls in Russia. After he was assassinated and died, his lower body was cut off to make a specimen, and it is still placed in a museum in Russia)

As for Eden's golden apples...

Idun is the goddess of spring in Norse mythology. She breeds golden apples that can keep people young forever.

It is said that the longevity of Asgardians is due to the talent bestowed by the world tree and the golden apple of Idun.

Just as there must be flat peaches in the banquet in heaven, there must be golden apples in the banquet in Asgard.

Of course, unlike the legendary flat peach, golden apples have very limited effects. Eating one will prolong life by decades, but it is considered a rare treasure for human beings.

Monarch was surprised: "Those golden apples haven't been eaten yet?"

Bai Jinglan stared at him: "Mr. Monarch knows their origins?"

"I've heard of some."

Monarch knocked his pipe, and said slowly, "You should all know that the mustache head of state is very fond of occultism. He has many laboratories under his command to study magic. One of the laboratories' research subjects It's the golden apples... The person in charge there is, um, Dr. Godeck, that guy has never learned magic, but he has a magical physique. He got five golden apples through sacrifices, but it's a pity that he hasn't waited for him to offer them. , Mustache committed suicide in defeat. When the base was captured by the Allied forces, Dr. Godeck stole all the golden apples. I thought he would definitely take them or give them to others to eat, but unexpectedly there were three left .”

This is the benefit of living a long time, knowing some secret information.

Bai Jinglan touched his chin and said, "I heard that golden apples can not only prolong life and keep youth forever, but also have the effect of eliminating diseases. It is very suitable for my needs."

Monarch looked at him and said seriously: "Boy, the magic black market is not the secret market. Most of the people who come and go there are black wizards and dimensional devils. They don't like you people from Karma Taj..."

Bai Jinglan didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, they don't want to see me, so I just demolished it!"

"That's more of a problem."

Monarch glared at him, "The magic black market is indeed evil, but for the magic world, its existence is indispensable. If you really demolish it, you will offend most of the people in the magic world."

Bai Jinglan was startled for a moment, and quickly realized.

The magic black market doesn't necessarily have a strong backstage, but they often have special channels to get a lot of extremely rare things.

Even the supreme mages sometimes have to take goods from them, let alone those ordinary mages who are black and white.

It may not be difficult to smash the magic black market, but it will not be easy to find similar sources of goods in the future.

Monarch looked at his expression, and suggested: "I'll give you a suggestion, go in with the image of a dark wizard, and leave immediately if you take pictures of what you want... If there is something that recognizes your identity and wants to treat you Unfortunately, as long as they are not within the scope of Hell's Glory House, you can kill them at will."

That's it!
