Marvel World Mixed Life

Chapter 176 The Great Young Man

Seeing this mysterious old woman, Li Mo's heart suddenly lifted.

At that time, he was still very immature, and it can be said that he was still half-baked in magic.

But now that I think about it, this old woman holding a black cat with age spots on her face is definitely not ordinary.

At that time, he opened the Warlock's Eye, but he didn't notice any energy fluctuations on Agatha Hackson's body.

You must know that even in Kama Taj, where there are many magicians, the only thing he can't see clearly is Master Ancient One.

What is this old hag doing here?

Just as Li Mo was guessing secretly, Agatha Hackson smiled and waved to him, signaling Li Mo to go over.

Li Mo took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and walked over with a smile on his face, "Hi, Mrs. Hackson, what a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence at all." Agatha Hackson gently stroked the black cat in her arms with her bony hands, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Mo frowned, and his smile gradually disappeared: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

While speaking, he was secretly on guard.

At this time, people were coming and going on the street, on the muddy road with yellow mud mixed with livestock dung, a man in dirty stockings, a woman in a worn long skirt, and a sailor with an open chest passed by them one by one. But it's like there's no one here.

Li Mo and Agatha both used "invisible" magic at the same time.

"Don't worry, young man." The old lady Agatha said calmly, "Just come to witness and protect a piece of history."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Li Mo shook his head and said.

"You will understand when the time is up. Don't worry, I have no malice towards you, and I am even grateful." Agatha Hackson said with a smile.

"Thank you, why?" Li Mo was suddenly curious.

"One is because you liberated the soul of the witch Case, and the other is because of your appearance, I, who was doomed to be lonely in this timeline, now have an excellent successor."

Speaking of this, the old lady Agatha couldn't help showing a smile on her face, "Don't worry about it, it's still early, how about going to eat something together?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Mo shrugged.

The old lady Agatha shook her head while leading the way and said, "The food here is a nightmare. Of course, it won't be much better after a few hundred years, but I know there is a good place."

The two walked around in the dilapidated old alleys, and soon came to the door of a tavern that looked old.

The wooden signboard of the tavern has been old for a long time, and it has faded and can't be seen clearly at all. There is a layer of moss attached to the black masonry wall.

The old lady Hackson dispelled the magic and walked directly into the tavern. Although Li Mo was a little curious, he also showed his figure and followed in.

The furnishings inside the tavern are no different from other places, only slightly cleaner.

Surprisingly, there were no guests here.

The tall bartender with a full beard glanced at them, nodded and said nothing.

This made Li Mo a little curious, because the clothes he and Mrs. Agatha wore were simply out of the ordinary in the eyes of people of this era.

However, when he followed Agatha into the corridor and opened another door to enter, he was not surprised at all.

Because there are more weirdos in it.

Wearing a black robe and a huge brimmed hat, the old woman with a nose, cheekbones and chin that were too pointed was definitely a witch.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, with many ornaments dangling on their bodies, nobles with white powder and lipstick on their faces, freaks with scars all over their faces, middle-aged people like court jesters...

These people sat around the table in twos and threes, either silently or arguing fiercely. The whole tavern was filled with sharp strange laughter and loud noises.

It turned out to be a secret society, and Li Mo suddenly realized it.

In this era, the religious forces in Europe were still very strong. In order to prevent being arrested as heretics, many people who were obsessed with mysterious power had a place to communicate, so so-called secret societies were formed in many cities.

However, Li Mo almost laughed out loud after looking around. Only a few of these people had subtle energy fluctuations, and most of them were just ordinary people.

"The owner of this store is a crappy alchemist, but his skill at grilling fish is amazing." Old lady Agatha explained.

"Being praised by you shows that that guy is really good at it." Li Mo said with a smile, he did not forget how superb the cooking skills of the old lady in front of him were.

The two sat down and ordered food. Li Mo ordered a grilled fish, a sweet soup, and some refreshments. The old lady Agatha only ordered a grilled fish.

Grilled fish is freshly cooked, it takes a while to wait. Agatha stroked the black cat and closed her eyes for a nap, while Li Mo looked around boredly.

At a table to his left, two academic-looking men were arguing.

"I've always thought the so-called exchange transfusion therapy was pure nonsense!"

"Only magnetic therapy is the future. I already have some ideas about this plague. I need two ounces of bat wing fluff and a blood of the wicked..."

Li Mo shook his head speechlessly. Although the mysticism of this era is showing a trend of vigorous development, it is full of a large number of people who pretend to be fake.

After listening for a while, he directly dismissed the idea of ​​making friends with these people.

Rather than calling it a secret society, it is more like a concentration camp for liars.

That aristocratic man is being fooled by the opposite person, trying to invest in a plan to turn mercury into gold to change the fate of going bankrupt.

The court jester boasted of getting into the boudoirs of hungry ladies in France.

Even that witch-looking guy is just a potion peddler...

"Are you a little disappointed?" the old lady Agatha suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Li Mo nodded.

"That's because you have stepped on the right path." The old lady said with a smile, "Whether magicians, alchemists or scientists, we are just a group of people who pursue the truth."

"Don't laugh at them, because in the eyes of some high-dimensional beings, what we have mastered is also a joke. To some extent, how are we different from these people..."

"It's true." Li Mo was silent, and he remembered what he had been through along the way.

From simply pursuing life-saving power and money, to stepping up and taking risks again and again in order to discover the mysteries of magic, a lot has changed unconsciously.

At this moment, a young man with a round face came over and asked politely and softly, "Can I sit next to you, only you guys look kinder."

Li Mo looked back and saw that there were more people in the tavern at some point, which made the seats seem a little scarce, so he nodded and did not speak.

"Thank you very much." The round-faced young man nodded politely and sat down. After he ordered a meal, he took out a parchment scroll from his arms, kept writing and drawing, and even used jerky Egyptian babbling.

Li Mo shook his head after listening for a while. This little guy was translating the alchemy classic "Jade Record", but it was a mess.

He couldn't help saying: "All things are originally the One, created from the One through differentiation...the sun is the father, the moon is the mother, conceived by the wind, nourished by the earth...this is the correct translation!"

"You are so right!" The young man suddenly realized, and then happily recorded it, and asked Li Mo for advice without respect.

Li Mo talked about the translation and explanation on Newton's alchemy manuscript with restraint. He likes young people who are studious and inquisitive.

After the narration, the grilled fish of the three people was brought up, and the flavor was indeed quite good. The ratio of spices and the control of the fire were very good.

Li Mo ate with satisfaction while chatting with the young man.

"You don't look like someone who came here."

"Well, your vision is like a torch." The young man nodded, "I am a student at Trinity College, Cambridge University, and I often sneak in here after I learned about it by chance. Although there are many liars, I can still get some novelties. knowledge."

"That's right." Li Mo said appreciatively like an elder: "Don't be blindly superstitious, take the essence and discard the dross, that's the attitude you should have in pursuing the truth."

"Thank you for your teaching." The young man's eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "Are you a real alchemist?"

"Well... I understand a little, I understand a little." Li Mo nodded with a smile.

The young man immediately stood up and said respectfully: "I have been studying by myself in my spare time, and I have accumulated more and more questions. May I ask you for advice?"

Li Mo admired this young man more and more. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will stay here for a while, and you can ask questions as much as you want. By the way, what's your name?"

The round-faced young man replied respectfully,

"Sir, my name is Isaac Newton."

puff--!

Li Mo squirted out a mouthful of grilled fish, and then coughed from choking.

He looked at the young man carefully, and asked cautiously, "Did you ever get hit by an apple under a tree when you were young?"

"Are you still an astrologer?" Newton was surprised.

Li Mo stopped bragging, and said awkwardly: "Well... I don't understand, I just learned some simple knowledge of alchemy, we can discuss it with each other."

Afterwards, Newton simply became a question machine, and uncommon and tangled alchemy problems were constantly asked from his mouth.

Li Mo gradually felt a little strenuous. Fortunately, he stored a lot of data in the nano glasses, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Unknowingly, the afternoon passed, and Newton didn't stop until it was dark.

Looking at the tavern where there were only a few people left, Newton said shyly, "I'm sorry, I'm always like this. Once I learn something new, I forget everything."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Mo quickly waved his hand, "I have nothing to do anyway, don't worry, you can come and ask anytime."

"There's no time." Newton looked a little sad, "Because of the plague, the school is temporarily closed, and I'm going back to the countryside in two days."

"Is there no place to live?" Li Mo waved his hand generously, "I will pay the rent for you."

"It's not for this reason." Newton shook his head. "Alchemy is just my hobby. I'm studying some things. I plan to go back and sort it out this time. I don't think I have time to ask you for advice."

"Research is so important." Li Mo shook his head, "I can't stay here for a few days, and I won't see each other in the future. You should think about it clearly."

Newton scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I discovered that there is a kind of gravitational force between all things, but I didn't tell anyone because I couldn't discuss it. When I was in college, I developed a new set of mathematical theories that might be able to explain it. I Call it calculus. I can't wait to go back and finish it."

Li Mo swallowed, "I think... you'd better go back, and talk about alchemy later."

Newton nodded, stood up and bowed, "Thank you very much for your teaching."

Li Mo stood up in a hurry, and said embarrassedly: "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

After Newton left, Li Mo touched the sweat on his forehead and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Although this little guy has no strength, his mountain-like status in human history makes people feel awe-inspiring.

"How does it feel to meet the Child of Destiny?" The old lady Agatha who had been sitting there silently asked with a smile.

"Child of Human Destiny?" Li Mo frowned.

"Although the development of a race needs to rely on the strength of the whole, there are always some outstanding stars shining ahead, and they are called the sons of destiny of the race." Agatha explained.

"Oh, so that's the case." Li Mo nodded, "It's none of my business."

A smile appeared on the corner of Agatha's mouth, "Then what if I say that there is a powerful demon staring at him?"

"It should be fine, after all, I didn't hear that he died early." Li Mo scratched his head.

"Who knows?" Old lady Agatha pouted, "It's none of our business, isn't it?"

After speaking, he continued to stroke his black cat.

Li Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Okay, okay, let's go, I like fighting demons best, which bastard is it?"

"Dark Lord, Dormammu."

"shit!"
