Marvel Magic Event Book

Chapter 280 The Price of Growth (1st update!)

Anna Helström wore a delicate gray wool spring trench coat that was tied tightly around her waist.But now it looked like she wanted to throw the trench coat to the ground, jump up and punch Salomon in the face. "What do you know," she asked in a cold voice, "Tell me everything you know. And where is this? I know we are not on the sidewalk. Is this your magic?"

"Hmm." The mystic mage raised his eyebrows at the lady.He finally aroused her interest. The source of all the pain in her life originated 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 join me in fighting 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 Helström 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 were constantly coming in and out, and the guests were focused on the freshly brewed coffee and had no time to pay attention to other people.

Is this magic?This is nothing like what I'm used to!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 her to Anna 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 1 minute, waiting for the hottest and freshest coffee. Only tourists like us will Stay here for more than 10 minutes. I hope you like Italian coffee. I'll forget it. I'm psychologically allergic to coffee, so a glass of juice will do. Please sit down, we don't need to do as the Romans do."

Maya Hansen wrinkled her nose.She was so familiar with the taste of coffee that she relied on it every time she did research. "The familiar smell." She sighed with emotion, "We should add a coffee machine to the research room, boss. Without it, other equipment cannot operate. Electrical appliances need electricity, and I need coffee, the kind that tastes good. , 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 ostentatious.But Salomon never returned, and he parked the car downwind. The cold spring wind penetrated through every gap in the car body, and his thin sweatshirt could not resist the cold at all.Dave sat in the driver's seat shivering, and finally he stretched out his head and looked around.

"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 to another one! Change it to another one!"

"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 Just appear next to Dave's car window and hand Dave a cup of hot coffee.I didn't buy this from that cafe. Bars in Italy 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. My brain is all used in class." Dave covered his face in pain.This wasn't the first time his spells went wrong. This happened when he first started learning magic.It's just that 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 don't have magic that specializes 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 doesn't have Merlin's magic, for a druid and a wizard, his lifespan is very fast. It's over. Give him more time to enjoy love. 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 mage with confusion, "Did something happen during the negotiation?"

"No, the negotiations went well." Anna Helström, or Satana, rejected most of the mystic's proposals.She just accepted the invitation and agreed to maintain communication with Salomon. As for the other conditions proposed by Salomon, she thought it was too unrealistic to talk about them now - the conditions given by Salomon were that when Marduk failed, , with Anna as his minister after ascending to the seventh throne, ruling the territory that originally belonged to Marduk - this plan is indeed somewhat unrealistic now, and Salomon is not too insistent.

As for the prerequisite for maintaining communication, Salomon can exorcise the devil in her mother.This demon is also the one possessing her biological father, Marduk.Salomon agreed to this request. Marduk didn't have much power in the world, so he couldn't waste much energy to complete this task.

The mystic mage had a premonition.He always felt that when he went to war with Marduk, the Sorcerer Supreme's work was done.He didn't know where this premonition came from. It might be Agamotto's private hint, or it might be the judgment brought to him by his stigmata, or it might just be conjecture and experience.In any case, Salomon's desire to grow in strength became more and more urgent - he knew that this idea was a bad idea, and temperance was his first lesson.But Marduk, a lord of hell and a devil who called himself Satan, still put 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 grows old, we will have to face those terrible things alone."
