The Death Knell

Just like Dou Jian said, he sent Deathstroke and Daisy to the restaurant and left. After all, the civil war had just ended not long ago. Just in case something slipped through the net, he had to continue to go to the headquarters to conduct space surveillance. , I won’t accompany you anymore.

Besides, this was a royal dinner, and he, the captain of the guard, was not qualified to sit down and eat together.

Pushing open the golden door engraved with wings, everyone at the dining table who was laughing and dining turned their heads to look over. However, there was an old-fashioned record player in the restaurant, playing Armstrong's old songs. .

On the round table covered with a clean white tablecloth, facing the door was Lilandra, on her left was Charles, and on her right was the Death Bird.

The death bird's memory has been modified, and now it looks like a simple little sister, holding one of her sister's arms with a smile on her face, and gnawing a fruit in her other hand.

Charles was still sitting in his wheelchair, his expression still smiling calmly.

He may be very uncomfortable with the method of modifying the Death Bird's memory, but this plan was proposed by Deathstroke, and he had no better way to solve the problem more properly.

Although it seems that the two sisters who have fought life and death for many years are close together, this plan makes his hair stand on end. He will never do anything like modifying his memory to make all humans accept mutants. This is not in line with him. values.

Everyone should have the freedom to express their thoughts according to their own will. Even if they initially resist mutants, that is their right. Our side can change more people's views on mutants through better performance, but we should not directly use our abilities to brainwash people.

The rights of ordinary people cannot be violated for the sake of the rights of mutants. This has always been Charles's point of view.

However, the Xi'ar people are originally a monarchy, and they also believe that the sweetest is the sweetest, so I turned a blind eye to rewriting their memories.

"Woof."

Cosmo let out a low cry, feeling extremely stressed about having three psychics in such a room.

Daisy quickly touched its dog's head: "Don't worry, they are all our friends."

People with psychic abilities are aware of each other. Not only was the space dog aware of them, but the three people at the table were also aware of Cosmo's presence.

Charles, Emma, ​​and Phoenix all had different expressions, but generally they were all very surprised by Cosmo's existence, because they had seen a lot of mutants, and who had seen a mutant dog?

It was Lilandra who stood up first. Although she didn't know why the death knell came back, she still greeted them warmly and invited them to take a seat.

She also carefully ordered the maid to fetch a plate and give the pet dog a separate portion of food.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I'm afraid now is not the time to eat and celebrate. The matter is not over yet. I also discovered the final truth, so I came here again."

Lilandra nodded in understanding. She hugged Death Bird's shoulders and whispered a few words. The second princess got up and left sensibly.

After that, the eldest princess asked: "Master, what did you find?"

So Su Ming recounted what happened after he left, and also shared some of his speculations. Finally, he asked Lilandra to point out where the crystal was, and that he would lead people to solve the problem completely.

"So Vulcan was also manipulated?" Charles lowered his head and pondered, and he pulled the floral blanket covering his legs.

"Who is Vulcan? This name seems a bit familiar." Scott at the table ate a meatball and thought while chewing it. He felt as if he had heard this name before, but when he thought about it carefully, he found nothing.

There is only light in my mind, or it is empty.

Qin, who was sitting next to him, kicked him under the table. The red-haired woman lowered her voice: "The Supreme Mage is talking to His Highness and the professor, please don't interrupt."

"Oh, I was wrong, don't be angry." Scott lowered his head and drank the broth, as docile as a domestic dog.

Su Ming raised her eyebrows at Qin, and she shook her head imperceptibly, saying that she had not modified other memories. Scott was usually so good.

On the other hand, Emma, ​​who was wearing a white swimsuit on the other side of the table, kept nodding and winking at Deathstroke with a smirk on her face, indicating that she had changed Scott's personality. Isn't it amazing?

Su Ming didn't care whether this was true or not. Even if these psychics made Scott look like an idiot, it was none of the Supreme Mage's business.

"Your Highness, I am serious. Please tell me where the Macallan Crystal is. Time is running out." Deathstroke took a few steps forward, put his hands on the dining table, and leaned forward to increase the pressure: "If it's too late, I can't say whether Odin and the unknown enemy will destroy the crystal."

Lilandra seemed a little hesitant. She picked up the cup at hand, but had no intention of drinking:

"If they really come into contact with the space where the crystal is, I'm afraid they are no longer in our world. The Macallan Crystal is also known as the 'Gift of the Two Gods' and the 'End of Everything'. If anyone really knows how to contact it safely , I’m afraid I have entered other realities through it.”

"Reality? Rather, it is a general term for dimensions, parallel worlds, timelines, etc." Su Ming waved his hand to interrupt the other party. He looked at the princess: "I know what crystal is and how dangerous it is. I I can also guarantee that I won’t have any bad thoughts about it, I just want to help people to the end.”

Charles raised his head and patted Lilandra's hand: "Your Highness, please believe the words of the Supreme Mage. I have been watched by him since I was a child. He is my relative. If anything happens, you can take my Life comes to balance it out."

"Don't call me Your Highness, and don't say these heartbreaking words. Didn't you agree to call me Xiaoli?" The eldest princess almost didn't think about it. After Charles spoke, she stood up and agreed to provide the specific location: "In addition to the country As you are, we have another relationship, of course I believe you."

"Xiao Li!"

"Charles!"

The two hugged each other as they spoke. The eldest princess sat on the professor's lap and started kissing passionately. The wheelchair spun in the spacious restaurant like a top, and the skirt and blanket fluttered along with it. The scene looked very beautiful.

The prerequisite for feeling beautiful is not to look at your face.

Charles looks much older than Billandra. One look at his face, and his beautiful love has turned into a disabled elderly wealthy man and a young mistress.

Everyone else at the table put down the cutlery in their hands and wiped their mouths helplessly to show that they were full and wanted to drink some water for this meal. Daisy was so numb that she kept rubbing her arms, and Su Ming also sighed.

Of course, he was resistant enough not to be disgusted by these two people. He was feeling that Charles and Lilandra were a perfect match, and they really weren't stupid.

On the surface, Charles' words were to persuade the princess, but on the other hand, he was also mentioning family affection by vouching for Deathstroke, hoping to use some touching father-son love to make Deathstroke give up other possible thoughts.

What Lilandra said showed her close relationship with Charles, reminding Deathstroke that everyone is a family, and if you destroy the crystal, you will also suffer the consequences.

However, they were obviously overly worried. Although the Macallan Crystal was good, many people in the universe were greedy for its power, and problems would arise once their wealth was revealed.

But these people definitely do not include Su Ming.

Everything that the crystal can do, he can do it through other means, and the nature of the crystal that brings bad luck to anyone who touches it is even more embarrassing.

"Ahem! Ahem! You should restrain yourself a little. I promise not to take advantage of the crystal, and I will bring a few of you with me." Su Ming took out the God Killer and turned it into an electric horn. Coughed loudly several times.

As if the couple couldn't help themselves, the man and woman finally stopped. Lilandra smoothed the feathers on her head that stood up like dull feathers and took a few deep breaths.

"I believe you, Master Supreme. Then I will tell you, and I will tell you only once, that the place where the McCallan Crystal is located is called 'The World'."
