Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 6 Jon's Past

"Father, Leon Pat invited us to the Manor for tea tomorrow night." Eaton read the invitation letter with doubts in his eyes.

The white-bearded old man was also stunned for a moment by the invitation, and after a while he laughed softly: "It seems that this family should not die tonight."

Eaton was stunned for a while, knowing that his father was no longer going to let him go to the slaughterhouse tonight, so he smiled and said, "It's also a sense of current affairs, but I don't know why he changed his mind?"

The white-bearded old man smiled, pointed at the wooden box and said, "Perhaps, it's because of this wooden box."

The night gradually faded, the bloody night did not come to Pat Manor, and the next day the sun was still warmly shining on every inch of the land in the manor.

Unbeknownst to everyone, they escaped a murder.Which naturally includes Angel.

Early in the morning, Angel brought a few maids to the tea garden to pick the freshest tea leaves.Although this season is in the outside world, it is winter when everything is frozen, but after Jon's greenhouse improvement, the tea garden is still as warm as spring.

For the evening tea party, Angel ordered the maid to pick a lot of tea leaves from the morning dew after the rain.Part of it is used for tea brewing at night, and the other part is handed over to Mana for frying tea. Only by kneading and 'killing' the tea leaves with high temperature, the tea leaves can retain their original flavor and fragrance for a long time.The roasted tea, he was going to give to Earl Eaton as a souvenir.

Seeing that the tea had entered the final stage, Angel left the tea garden with confidence and returned to the small courtyard of the Diaojiaolou.

Jon sat on the balcony on the second floor, basking in the rare warm sun in winter, and hummed a little song comfortably.

Angel stepped forward, took the ointment from the dumb servant, and began to apply it to the tutor.Jon glanced at him and said nothing.Even though he had explained to Angel the reason for the atrophy of his limbs yesterday, he didn't seem to believe it very much.It doesn't matter to Jon anymore, just treat it as his apprentice's filial piety... After all, he doesn't have much time to enjoy his apprentice's filial piety. Maybe he can't even survive the frozen moon?

Jon smiled and faced the wind, humming an unknown tune.

A little sad, and a little free and easy.

More of endless thoughts.

"If I can go back to Earth, even if I die the next moment, I'm willing." Jon didn't understand the truth of falling leaves returning to their roots before, but now he understands.

Angel had melancholy in his eyes. He didn't know what to say to comfort the mentor at this moment. 'Separation' was the most painful, and it was also the distance between the two worlds.

The quiet time didn't last long, and Jon suddenly pointed to a half-exposed transparent crystal in the balcony flowerpot and said, "Can you bring it over for me?"

Angel gave a "en", took out the transparent crystals from the wet soil, wiped them with a handkerchief, and handed them to Jon.

This transparent crystal is oval in shape and looks like a glass bead from a distance.

Jon held the 'glass beads' and looked at it for a long, long time.The expression is sometimes resentful, sometimes sad, sometimes wry smile.

"I abandoned it in the forest three years ago, and I didn't expect it to appear in the flowerpot." Jon shook his head, "Maybe this is life?".

Angel looked at the tutor and muttered to himself, his face flushed, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "I picked it up... I used to see the tutor often play with it and look at it. I just cried, I guessed it might belong to the tutor's family. That day, when I saw you throw it into the woods, I thought it was because you didn't want to see things and think about people; then I picked it up and buried it in a flowerpot, thinking about what One day the teacher regrets it, but it can still come in handy."

Jon was stunned for a moment, and murmured to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "Perhaps, it has a fate with you?"

After a while, Jon looked at Angel: "This glass bead is not my family's thing. But... it is also something of the earth, right? I don't know its origin."

"Let me tell you a story, about the glass beads."

……

As Jon spoke, the look in Angel's eyes became more and more surprised.

He thought it was just a commemorative glazed bead, but he didn't expect the origin of this glazed bead to be so magical!
It started 20 years ago. When Jon was still on Earth, he was a scientific researcher born in China. Later, because of a worldwide mysterious project, he was invited to Long Island, New York, with his wife and daughter. Conduct a ten-year-long secret research.

The subject of this research is called the Montauk Project.

The Montauk Project is a well-known subject of space physics on Earth. Jon was born in the mid-23rd century, two centuries before his birth, the Montauk Project had already started.It has been stranded several times, and the research time is more than 50 years.Jon's participation in the Montauk Project is the sixth launch.

The predecessor of the Montauk project was the Philadelphia Experiment in 1942, when radar was just invented, and the US military conducted experiments on the destroyer USS Edrich in order to obtain the stealth ability of warships to radar waves.The main trunk of the warship is equipped with an omnidirectional antenna, and two energy coils are placed on the deck, which are powered by the generator on the ship.At the beginning of the experiment, there was a mutation, and the second and third experiments had even bigger disasters. The generator was running wildly and completely out of control. Finally, the Edrich disappeared from people's sight and moved instantly to seven. At a place thousands of kilometers away, the Philadelphia experiment was forced to abort, and its by-product was the discovery of long-distance teleportation of objects.

In short, the Montauk Project is actually a physics subject to study space travel.

At the beginning, the research direction of the Montauk project was still inseparable from the Philadelphia experiment, but unfortunately, there has been no progress.Until the early 23rd century, an alien object excited all scientists!
This alien object fell in the middle of the famous Eye of the Sahara in the southwest of the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, Africa.

This foreign object has attracted the attention of all countries. As a small African country, Mauritania cannot compete with the world powers.In the end, this object stayed on Long Island, New York, USA, and China, Britain, France, Japan, Russia and other countries participated in the research, and was named "The Eye from the Sky".

In the process of research, scientists found that the eye beyond the sky has energy fluctuations that violate most of the known physical coefficients. When it was initially stimulated by high-energy rays of a certain band, the eye beyond the sky even had the magical effect of transmitting objects in a small range.

It was scientists who saw the effectiveness of this space teleportation that started the sixth Montauk Project.

Jon is actually just an ordinary researcher in the Montauk Project, recording the effects of the waves generated by the Eye of the Sky on plants.

One day, Jon, as usual, brought a few sealed plant seedlings to the heavily protected area of ​​the Outer Eye to record and sample.

It was normal at the beginning. Most of the plants declined and died under the fluctuations released by the Eye of the Sky. Only one tea seedling brought from Huaxia survived.

Just when Jon took the tea seedlings to open the parasitic chip to record, he didn't know whether the console was wrong or what, and several high-energy rays shot into the Eye of the Sky, and then the laboratory changed dramatically.

The space collapsed, and darkness was rampant, and the terrifying aura released by the Eye of the Sky instantly covered everything in the laboratory.The next second, before Jon could react, he was engulfed in the darkness with the tea seedling in his hand.

With the Eye of the Sky, passing through many barriers, the world full of scars came to today's world.

Later, Jon was rescued by the old Viscount Pat.

Later, there was no magic in the eye beyond the sky, and it was transformed into an extremely ordinary... a glass bead.
