The Death Knell

After eating the mung bean cake, Skye wanted to try the puff pastry mooncakes. After eating the delicious mooncakes, she wanted to try the Tiaotou cake.

She said she had no appetite, but in fact her little belly was like a bottomless pit, and she ate all kinds of snacks. If he didn't know that she was a stranger, Su Ming would definitely suspect that she was related to the Yuan Devouring Beast. relation.

Just drinking tea and eating snacks was a bit boring, so Su Ming asked his apprentice to act as a storyteller, and told the two girls the story of Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow in the living room.

There is no language barrier for agents and detectives, and they can understand Chinese, so they come to appreciate the traditional art of Kama Taj.

The style here is to smoke, drink and perm your hair, so being able to tell stories is normal, right?

After hearing this, more than half an hour passed.

"It is said that Lin Daiyu passed through five passes and killed six generals, passed through Baituo Mountain KTV, and came to the foot of Jingyang Gang. She drank eighteen bowls of strong liquor in a restaurant and ate three kilograms of soy sauce beef before she felt a little less hungry and thirsty. . But seeing the mountain in front of me, with dense forests, steep slopes, and dense shadows, makes people feel cold all over in broad daylight."

"I called the shopkeeper to inquire, and he replied: 'Your Majesty has good eyesight. There are willow trees in this mountain. They often bind passing merchants, making them look like Japanese turtles, which is extremely dangerous'!"

"Lin Daiyu burst out laughing, clapped her hands on the table and stood up. Not only was she not afraid, but she was filled with enthusiasm. She took out five large coins from her arms and placed them on the table. She shouted loudly: "Let the little girl go away for such dishonest talents. After knowing it, not to mention the Japanese magic, I want to teach it to open a grocery store in its head!" She immediately stood up, stretched her back and waist, went out and went straight to Jingyanggang!"

"Pah! As the saying goes, the twenty-eight-year-old beauty has a body like an uncle, and her lumbar discs are like a fool. If you want to ask where to find a beautiful woman, Lin Daiyu, the eldest sister of society! You can predict what will happen in the future. Let's hear the explanation next time."

As soon as Xingmu took a shot, this magical transformation of storytelling came to an end.

This student was an exchange student from Hogwarts. After bowing, he opened his big blue eyes and waited for the teacher's comments.

Su Ming smiled and used the Force to hold a few snacks and a bag of tea to her: "That's right. The articulation is clear and the rhythm is okay. The accuracy and speed of reciting the spell are very important to the mage. That's the last thing. You still need to learn a little more about your limerick from your senior sister Hermione, it was not like this when I taught her back then."

"Thank you, Professor!" The little girl who received the high-end snacks nodded happily and skipped away carrying the storyteller's desk.

The courtyard outside the living room was full of flowers, and the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter coexisted. She sank into it like a little butterfly, probably looking for a good place to enjoy afternoon tea with her friends.

For British people, afternoon tea is a must.

"Hey, what about the ending? We agreed that Lin Daiyu would pull up the weeping willows upside down, but why didn't the willow tree spirit appear at all?"

The storyteller student left, and Jessica showed a look of despair. As a detective, what she couldn't stand the most was not having an answer.

The story ended here, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Because the people we are waiting for have arrived and want to know the follow-up, just come to Kama Taj next time and listen to it yourself."

Deathstroke's eyes fell on a corner of the living room, as if staring at the incense burner there, but he was answering the girl detective's question:

"In addition to this story, we also have stories about Yunchang's decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, Nezha's failure to keep the watermelon when he bought it, the dungeon adventure of the King of the Daughter Kingdom, etc. These are all things I taught my students when I was bored."

Skye, on the other hand, looked confused. She stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth, chewing it while muttering in a low voice: "The story here seems to be different from what I have heard before. I have read the four major classics, but this story always feels like It’s a little subtle.”

"Anything can happen in the multiverse. Maybe these stories are reality for some people. Let go of the limitations of your thinking, Skye."

The smiling Supreme Mage nodded and looked at the girl with a profound expression, but the conversation suddenly changed:

"But that's right. You girls may not like hearing about these fights and killings. You like romantic dramas, right? No problem. Come to Kamal Taj next time. I'll ask Modu to tell you a love story that can't be broadcast on the radio. Jia Baoyu accidentally walked into the wrong house, and Grandma Liu had her first taste of love."

Skye: "???"

Who wants to listen to that kind of shit? Will there be pus in the ears? !

"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough!"

The moustache mage started spitting on the spot as soon as he stepped over the threshold. He was originally going to say hello to Deathstroke, but when he heard such an impactful title of a storytelling excerpt, he stumbled and almost choked to death on his saliva.

"Is this the mage who is going to be with us?" Jessica couldn't keep her depressed face anymore. She pursed her lips and suppressed a smile and changed the subject: "She doesn't look very strong."

Su Ming stood up and wiped off the peach cake residue on the table:

"You don't understand how Master Monaco can be ranked among the top ten mages on earth or among the top twenty?"

"Hey, I heard you teasing the little girl when I came here, but why did you change your words when you introduced me?"

Monaco walked into the house speechlessly, holding on to the door frame, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, taking off his top hat to fan himself:

"Only the top ten, don't change it, and don't say any questions. Although there are many strong people among the younger generation, I, the Magic Prince, still have some confidence."

"I also have great confidence in you, so when we go out to do errands, Kama Taj, please keep an eye on me and don't let any dimensional demon get in."

Su Ming smiled and patted each other's shoulders with Monaco, and took the beard wax from the mage's pocket with ease.

"The intensity of the war in hell is getting higher and higher. Instead of looking at the starry sky, it is better to keep an eye on the burning kingdoms."

Monaco nodded slightly and smiled at the two ladies, his top hat pressed to his chest. He was full of British gentlemanly demeanor, but he still talked about the death knell.

Skye cherishedly put the remaining snacks into his pocket, wiped his mouth and stood up: "Hello, master, I am Skye from SHIELD, but aren't you going to the parallel world with us? "

"So you are Skye." Monaco looked at the girl up and down, his eyes a little strange, but he quickly concealed it: "The Supreme Mage informed me to take over, as for going to the parallel world to fight zombies? I don't want to, I am a traditionalist Spellcasters don’t know how to use firearms.”

"Then where is our team mage?" Jessica waved her little hand towards Monaco as a greeting.

Su Ming looked at the corner and sighed: "Didn't I tell you that he has been here long ago, or is it her? Yes, I am talking about the one squatting in the corner. This is Kama Taj. Are you sure you want to be there? Are you playing invisibility here?"

"Hehe, you are indeed the Supreme Mage Deathstroke. It seems that my magic has never been hidden from you."

A woman wearing a green robe, long black hair shawl, and a golden horned ring appeared.

It was as if she had always been there, like a mirror or phantom, suddenly emerging from the air, walking out with graceful twists and turns, coming to Deathstroke's side, putting her hand on the man's shoulder and saying :

"Speaking of which, I'm still curious as to why you think of me? Is it because you know I turned into a woman, so you fell in love with me?"

Deathstroke knocked off Loki's claws. Even though she looked like a charming beauty, she was still the same man in essence.

So the Supreme Mage just smiled crookedly: "You are so naughty."
