The Death Knell

"What? As the guardian of the magical world of the earth, why should I inform you where I am going? If I don't come again, when will you report to Karma Taj that someone has passed through the 'Reality Nexus'?"

Handing out half a bag of citrus as a gift, Su Ming walked into the living room angrily, turned on the TV, turned up the volume, and sat down on the sofa.

The middle-aged man with messy hair touched his stubble and smiled a little sheepishly: "No, I didn't mean that. Someone did sneak into the real dimension through the swamp last night. I chased him all night and didn't catch him. I arrived, I was about to wake up and continue looking, but here you are."

Su Ming waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down and talk, and also helped introduce:

"Professor Xu, this is Leonid Tesla, codenamed 'Navigator'. He is also an honorary graduate of our Karma Taj. He has been lurking in Orange Town and is responsible for monitoring the reality hub. Xiao Lie, This is Professor Xu, a master of atmospheric magic, whose magic name is Xindu Ruila, and he is the occult consultant of the Divine Spear Bureau."

All three of them could communicate in Chinese, so confidentiality was maintained. After a few polite words between Leonid and Xu Xian, he went to the refrigerator to get orange juice to entertain them.

There was orange juice in a beautiful glass jug, which looked very tempting. Although he lived here alone, the room was kept clean, and even the tea cups for guests were in full order.

After pouring water for the two masters, he sat down and asked: "Didn't the Divine Spear Bureau not care about overseas affairs in the past? Why did Professor Xu follow you to Florida this time?"

I don’t know who Leonid learned his Chinese from at first. It has a slight flavor of Shandong dialect.

"She and I just met by chance at the Wumen Bar. As a result, the body of a supreme mage from another dimension fell on our table, knocking over all the drinks I bought." Su Ming stretched out his palm and let Strangler explain what happened. Projected from memory: "Later, after an autopsy, it was confirmed that the master had been to Florida. If I think about Florida and magic being related, I will naturally come to Orange Town to find you."

"I understand, so Professor Xu is just here to travel with you." Leonid's eyes became ambiguous, and he seemed to understand something.

"She is just curious about dimensional events and wants to come with her to have a look. After all, we, Karma Taj, were responsible for handling them in the past. Most mages are not qualified to understand things in different dimensions. Also, although she is young, she is a rigorous person. Scholar, just like your father, don’t talk nonsense.”

Su Ming knocked the man on the head to stop him from thinking.

When Leonid joined Karma Taj, he was just a teenager, but decades later, he still looked like a child in front of the death knell.

Some are affectionate and some are mischievous.

Professor Xu didn't care about that. She was more curious about another question:

"Director Zheng told me about the 'human machine' and also about the Navigator. So, Leonid, your father is Dr. Nikola Tesla?"

"Yes, even though he hasn't come to see me for several years now, he is indeed my father." Xiao Lie stretched his back on the sofa and looked a little lonely: "But now people say Howard Star Grams is the greatest scientist in the 20th century, and few people will mention my father."

Xu Xian held the cup with both hands and placed the orange juice at the mouth of the mask. Although the orange liquid level was falling rapidly, it did not delay her from speaking at the same time:

"Dr. Tesla is a genius. Many electrotherapy devices today are based on his ideas. But he is a scientist. Why did you, Leonid, become a mage?"

"My situation is quite special."

After laughing, Xiaolie activated his ability and instantly transformed from a human appearance into a translucent 'astral person'. The entire galaxy seemed to be rotating in his humanoid outline, and the starlight filled the living room like a dream. magical.

But this was just a demonstration. He quickly put away his magical power and continued to explain:

"My body contains very dangerous energy. It is the power that can restart the single universe and guide the rebirth of mankind. The Holy Shield Brotherhood originally planned to put me under house arrest. It was the Supreme Mage and Director Zheng who saved me. My father had no choice. By controlling the energy in my body through scientific means, the Supreme Master proposed that I go to Karma Taj to learn magic, so that I could learn to control myself."

"That's it." Professor Xu's cat eyes blinked, and she put the empty cup on the coffee table: "I probably already understand, so after you complete your studies, you were entrusted with the important task of coming here to look after the reality center."

"No, the main thing is that Master Deathstroke said that if one day I feel that I can't control the energy, I will jump into the swamp and explode myself in another dimension. Don't blow up his earth, haha!"

Leonid smiled and replied that this was actually a standard cold joke. After he told it, he started to laugh.

The energy in his body is growing all the time. Not only does it allow him to directly use the energy of the universe, it can also drive some magic at no cost.

The situation here in Orange Town is quite special. When he can't hold it in any longer, Leonid can go into the swamp at night, where he can use the 'Star Spinning Technique' named by Su Ming to fry fish and play without anyone noticing. of.

In a swamp, isn't it normal to make strange noises in the middle of the night? And there have been monster legends here since ancient times, just like a standard 'horror story place'.

Professor Xu obviously didn't understand what was funny about Xiaolie's joke. She just looked at the man sympathetically and shook her head:

"Thank you so much. You live alone in a remote town and can't have much communication with ordinary people. It must be hard, right?"

However, before Xu Xian could finish her words, a blond beauty walked down the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. She was only wearing a men's white shirt and swayed downstairs.

When she came to the living room and saw a stranger, she didn't seem to have any inhibitions. She kissed Leonid generously on the face:

"Honey, what do you want to eat for lunch? I went home and made it and brought it over?"

Faced with the narrow gaze of the Supreme Mage, Leonid was a little embarrassed. He kissed the girl and rubbed his hands: "Well, these two are relatives from my hometown. They may stay with me for a few days. , I’m afraid I don’t have time to find you.”

"Oh, I understand. Hi, hello, I won't delay your family reunion." The woman walked to the bathroom with bare feet. Her pants and shoes were left there last night. She took something and put it on. She quickly waved goodbye and said politely: "Orange Town is a great place. I hope you have a good time here."

After saying that, she closed the door and walked away, looking like a scumbag who pulled up her pants and refused to recognize anyone.

"Ahem, I just met her when I came back from the swamp this morning. I really went looking for stowaways last night. Well, what did you just say, master?"

Seeing his playmate leaving, Leonid scratched his head and explained, and asked Professor Xu a little embarrassedly, he seemed to have heard something sad just now.

However, Professor Xu was already sitting on the sofa with her arms folded, and the cat eyes on her mask turned into a dead fish shape:

"It's okay, it seems you are not alone here."
