The Death Knell

A second ago, there was the sound of waves and the Atlantic Ocean with a faint fishy smell.

The next thing that catches the eye is the Himalayas, covered in snow and towering into the clouds.

Wanda tugged on her red jacket, arranged her hair again, and walked eastward along the road in the village.

She was not a member of Kama Taj, so naturally she could not teleport in directly through the protection. She could only teleport to the small village in the mountain den first, and then walked to the gate.

Kama Taj has two doors. One physical door is located on the top of the snowy mountain, which is the door of the magic courtyard itself.

The other is a conceptual passage, which is in this village. Entering from there will be directly transported to Kama Taj, which is also the only way for many visitors.

It's actually quite easy to find, just follow the direction of movement of the goods.

The reason why this place is called a village is not because it is poor, but because the permanent population is very small. In fact, there are many businessmen of all ethnic groups coming and going here, transporting various goods ordered by Kama Taj, and then buying the magic holy land. Various products produced.

For example, the flying boat produced by Vanahem, raw materials from various dimensions and even hell, the magic scrolls and wands produced by Karma Taj, the artwork of Spartacus, the sex dolls of Contrasia, etc... ..

No matter how weird things are, they are all sold here, and this is the only distribution point on earth.

Not everyone has the ability to travel through dimensions or enter space. Trading here is undoubtedly an easier way.

Of course, not only do you need to check your identity if you want to buy something from Kamal Taj, but the value of gold and silver treasures here is very low, and you will always suffer losses when bartering. The common currency here is energy, or you can use it to serve Kamal Taj. Pay off debts.

When Wanda was studying with Agatha, she naturally visited this place named 'Huaxi Village' by the Supreme Mage. She was still young at the time and just thought it was so prosperous. It was probably the most beautiful and fashionable settlement in the magic world. .

And in addition to the human aborigines, there are also various races, such as goblins, aliens, underground races, etc., haunting here.

However, the most populous people on the street are wizards from all over the world. When they need magic materials or want to learn new magic, people always come here to try their luck.

There were many shops on both sides of the road, where many people were shopping for goods. It was very lively. Wanda's big eyes also glanced at many beautiful magic jewelry, but she still remembered that she was not here for shopping today.

There is a small courtyard at the end of the road with a disproportionate vermilion gate and two stone lions at the door. There, his teacher is waiting.

There is also a thin old man with a goatee. He is counting the goods delivered to the door, recording something, and using magic, he throws the goods into the door one by one to disperse the onlookers.

"I'm here, teacher." Wanda smiled and ran to Agatha, hugging her arm like a little girl.

Agatha took a completely different path from Monaco. As the apprentice of the Prince of Magic, she was originally an apprentice in art. Later, she did not learn Monaco’s powerful black magic and voodoo techniques. She continued to practice white magic, which she preferred.

The so-called white magic is actually a series of magic that does not cost much. The main "borrowing" target is Emperor Weishan. It is biased towards dimensional energy protection, interference with alien creatures, treatment of organic damage, etc.

The disadvantage of not learning black magic is that Emperor Weishan will not trade with her for boring projects such as 'eternal youth' and 'immortal appearance'. In other words, she ages very quickly and looks even worse than Monaco. Much older.

After the moustache mage got the help of the massage chair, the cost of casting spells was basically passed on. He still looks like he is in his thirties, with a decent demeanor and a slight hair loss.

Agatha is not the case. She is actually only a little over 300 years old, which is more than 150 years younger than her master. But she looks much older, especially in the past ten years. She doesn't know what she has experienced, as if she had gone through it overnight. In the meantime, his appearance became haggard.

Monaco thinks she may have unleashed some super magic and paid a huge price for it, but she won't explain it and doesn't want anyone's help.

Different from the first time Su Ming saw her in Paris, she is now very thin and her cheeks are sunken inward. She has white hair with a perm that was popular decades ago. She is wearing a top hat and A long black dress with an emerald wrapped in a black ribbon around her neck.

At the same time, she was still holding her black cat, which lazily raised its tail while Wanda spoke.

It has no name, and its owner usually calls it 'cat', but in fact it is a shadow creature that has followed Agatha since she escaped the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.

Agatha raised her hand and wiped Wanda's philtrum, where there were some dried blood stains:

"Who did you fight with again?"

"It's still the X-Men."

Wanda rubbed her nose and smiled. She and Jean Gray were also old rivals, and they were hit on the head by telekinesis more than once.

Agatha shook her head. She was not a mutant, so she naturally did not understand why the two groups of mutants were fighting, and she had nothing to say about it.

But she still stroked her cat and said, "Your father will kill you sooner or later."

Wanda sighed. She also knew that this kind of restrained fighting would get out of control at some point, and casualties would be inevitable. Moreover, the sentry robots were becoming more and more advanced, and all mutants were in a bad situation. .

"I understand, but I have to help him. This is the meaning of family existence."

The female teacher said nothing more, but turned to the old man with a goatee on the other side of the door: "Master Hamil, let's go in."

"Go, Master Wilson and Master Monaco are waiting for you in the reception room." Hamill stroked his beard and replied with a fairy-like air.

"Thanks."

Agatha thanked her politely. Nowadays, 80% of the wizards on the earth need to look at Karma Taj's eyes to live. Although Hamil is not a resident of the four temples, his identity as the butler of the Supreme Mage is enough for him. Anyone is welcome.

"Let's go, Wanda, this is your first time entering Kama Taj. Don't run around. Space and time are confused in many places. Don't make a fuss when you see some weird things. It's normal here. "

"I understand, teacher." Wanda licked her lips. She was a little nervous. She didn't know what she would see.

She didn't feel anything the moment she walked through the door, but when she looked back, she could only see the twisted and glowing whirlpool in the door from where she came from. The slightly thinner air around her also told her that she might have sent their master and apprentice away with just that step. Reaching an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.

They were in a dreamy courtyard with birds singing and flowers fragrant. There was still snow on the eaves, but below was a blooming garden. In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, some young people in simple robes were practicing skills such as giant swords and automatic rifles. .....

Beside the two of them, there was a muscular man wearing only an It looked like it was left behind after being tied up with hemp rope.

But he was delighted.

"Master Mordo." Agatha greeted the strange middle-aged man.

"Little Agatha, are you happy today?" Mordo and Agatha were of the same generation, but this made him feel closer. It was too boring to call people "Master" when meeting people.

"...It's okay." Agatha kept a poker face, mainly because Mordo was too greasy and she didn't want to talk to him.

Modu covered his mouth and smiled, and wiped the lubricant on his abdominal muscles with his big hand: "Then please follow me this way. The original passage has been undergoing a fusion transformation recently, and the space is stacked to improve the defense effect. , if you accidentally walk in, you will be thrown into the city of Sephiroth."

The city of Sephiroth is located within the Broken Realm, and is the dimension where the bird people of the Aushut Familia live.

After saying that, he turned around and twisted his butt and led the way. A big man walked out wearing high heels.

Wanda looked down and saw that he was really wearing 'cool shoes'. The two high heels were more than ten centimeters high.

Even though she was warned by the teacher in advance, Wanda was still shocked. She never expected to see such a perverted person in Kamal Taj...
