Chapter 398
Hoffa’s depression did not last for a few seconds. Soon, a large area of fog appeared in front of the train. The train rumbling into the fog, and nothing was seen on both sides of the window. .
Osivia and Dumbledore hurried to Hoffa's side with Miranda who had left before, and the four of them looked worriedly at the mist outside the window.
The mist came suddenly and the visibility was extremely low. If you put your hand into the mist, the palm of your hand will be invisible. It seemed that it was not fog outside, but white gaseous milk.
Then, as if through an invisible barrier, through the fog, the train entered a new but dreamy country.
On the ground stand in great numbers, there are buildings of all kinds of strange things. Some of those buildings are like slices of super mushrooms, some are like upright shells, and some are arranged in The staff of the sky, with crooked little houses standing on it.
They are multi-colored, and the appearance is not much rational at all, but they look really interesting, at least for Hoffa.
The train where Hoffa is located also swiftly traversed a railroad track in the staff, passing high in the sky.
They are thousands of meters high from the ground. How to build a railroad track on such a high place is probably only a guy like Silby can think of.
Not only are they a train, in fact, there are many people in this real and imaginary place. Not far from them, there is a group of youngsters riding broomsticks quickly, passing by like meteors. They also saw a group of little children sitting together on a large flying carpet, hehe haha flying through the air.
There are not only broomsticks and flying carpets, but also various other weird vehicles. Their appearance is the same as those on the ground, weird and full of personality.
The four people on the train looked at the city under the sky, and their mouths couldn't close in surprise.
Because of the previous life memory, Hoffa can even see the special feature of this dream kingdom, that is, it has a strong sense of the future.
For example, the magic flying carpet dancing in the sky, and the broomstick. How similar to the cars on the overpass in the future. The floating magic tall buildings that stand in great numbers are similar to the skyscrapers of the muggle world. There are magic lighting, magic cuisine, and magic shop that can be seen everywhere.
He can understand the wonder of this "magic future".
But this scene is unimaginable for Dumbledore and Osivia, and it is the same for Miranda. They were born in the conservative and ancient wizard family. Until now strictly follows the principle of wizard secrecy, and they are clearly separated from muggle. Wizard is wizard, muggle is muggle, they hide under the world and never show up.
But the whole city is full of witches, dressed in strange clothes, the three-year-old child flies around on a flying carpet, and all kinds of weird magical creatures run around.
If such a thing happens in the real world, it can only be convicted of abusing magic.
Dumbledore, who has always been tolerant, couldn’t help clenching his fists after seeing the city, and said: "Magic is definitely not used like this."
Osivia sighed:" Although it is a dream here, it may also be the fantasy of a half-man king, his ideal country."
"Reality would not allow him to do this." Miranda calmly and soberly commented: "What is now Everything we see is the result of compromise. The number of muggles is tens of thousands of times that of wizards. We must consider muggle's opinions. Impossible is such an impudent."
"Are they daoist?"
Hoffa pointed to the person who was flying by on the broomstick and asked. He felt that all the people he saw in this city should be daoist. Because he can hear their voices through the flow spell, that voice is completely different from the voice of the outside world, it is joy, freedom, and even some wild voices.
No one answered Hoffa's question. They were not sure whether it was a dream or reality. But Hoffa had a way to measure the answer. He hooked his finger and slowed the time by a factor of two.
Suddenly, the train slowed down.
He was secretly surprised that Time Law can still be used. This shows that he is not dreaming, but that this dream country really exists in reality.
He withdrew Power of Time and the train resumed normal operation.
At this moment, Miranda suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed: "Look!"
The three of them walked along with her fingers and saw that after the fog was completely dispersed, they were in the center of the city. , Appeared a towering tower.
What a tower that is!
It is gray all over, with a crooked spiral extending upwards, and it extends to a height of tens of thousands of meters. I can't see the top at all.
Hoffa has never seen such a tall building. It looks like the tower of Babel in the Bible, and it looks like the one in "Jack and the Pea" in Grimm's fairy tale. It has grown to the kingdom of clouds. Magic pea.
"Is this the world you want? Silby..."
Looking at the sky-high tower, Hoffa murmured.
As if to answer his inner question.
A group of flames appeared in front of the four people on the train, and they all jumped back in shock, but the flames were not dangerous and did not spread.
It burned quietly, and a thin face gradually appeared in it. That face Hoffa had seen before was Delphine's body and Silby's soul carrier. She is no longer as charming as she was two years ago. She has been cursed for a year, but she is just a pierced skeleton. Only those eyes are still in great spirits.
"Welcome to my country, Pandora." The face in the flame said, "What do you think of this place?"
"It's crazy." Dumbledore said, " You don’t want to make the real world like this."
Osivia said: "Impossible, half-man king, you give up. After all, dreams are not reality. No matter how beautiful the dream is, it will One day they are bored, they will always return to reality."
Miranda said: "The estrangement will eventually lead to war. Muggle and wizard must be hidden. Freedom is good, but we too You have to be able to enjoy it. We appreciate your kindness, but we still ask you to obediently surrender."
"What you said makes sense."
Silby indifferent expression Nodded, his face in flames turned to Hoffa: "Are you ready?"
Hoffa indifferently said: "I don't understand what you are talking about, but if I just defeat you, then I am indeed ready Now."
"Very good." Silby praised, his skinny head moved a bit in the flames and looked at the four people: "Although I welcome you to come and see me together, but not today Yes, I only saw one person today."
He said slowly, "I'm at the top of the tower. Whoever of you can climb to the top can cut it off. My head, or—I had my head chopped off."
"The arrogant guy." Dumbledore moved his neck and pulled out the wand. The rays of light in the blue eyes were extremely sharp. Hoffa knew that the headmaster wanted It's real.
"Shhh." Silby put his thin fingers to his lips in a wheelchair, said with a smile: "People who have not climbed to the top will not be lonely here. I will help you Everyone arranged their opponents-now, let's start the game."
Silby tone barely fell, accompanied by a loud bang.
The flames where his face was on burst open, and the train and the rails under the train also exploded directly without warning.
The entire train was caught off guard by a huge bombardment and directly bombed into the sky, turning into more than ninety degrees from it.
Hoffa, who has always been vigilant without the slightest hesitation, directly slowed the flow of time ten thousand times.
The bursting flames and flying fragments all slowed down. Tend to stand still, the train stopped in the air, and the bursting flame also stopped in the air.
In the stagnant time, Hoffa is like an astronaut walking in space, gently pushing away the flying debris in the air, he swims to Miranda, almost still In time, Hoffa could see that at the moment when the explosion came, the expression on Miranda's face was not panic, but worried. She looked sideways at the position where Hoffa was standing, but time was slowed down before her head turned. .
"silly girl..." Hoffa took away a piece of broken glass next to Miranda's face, hugged her by the waist, and picked her up like a plastic model in the shop.
Then from the exploded window, he climbed out of the exploded train carriage.
Within a radius of three hundred meters, the time has been put aside, but in a city three hundred meters away, what should they be doing? This is the scope of influence of Hoffa's Power of Time, outside of this scope, it will not be under his control.
Hoffa placed Miranda outside the range of the explosion, then floated back to the bursting train carriage, carrying Dumbledore and Osivia in turn.
Tick!
Less than a second has passed, and time has returned to normal flow again.
Boom! !
The explosion continued, and the train was blown up. The five-line talisman-like rails were bent high, and broke directly in the middle. A few drag racing parties riding broomsticks were unfortunately killed. Blowing in the squally wind brought by the explosion, he screamed and fell to the ground.
"Huo..." Miranda turned her head abruptly, but found that she was already not in the carriage. She forcibly stopped her shouting and pressed her lips tightly.
Dumbledore and Osivia also landed suddenly, holding the wand in a defensive stance. But soon they found themselves standing on a safe ground and couldn't help but become confused.
As time goes by too slowly, in their eyes, Hoffa is just a shadow that flashes by, too fast to catch it at all.
"Let's go." Hoffa indifferently said after a last glance at the sloppy train that was bombed.
The three looked at him with a surprised look. Even though they didn't know how Hoffa did it, they knew that he must have taken them out of the carriage at the moment the explosion started.
In fact, without him, the explosion would have done much damage to the three top wizards, but it would definitely be possible to make them feel embarrassed.
However, Silby’s little trick did not work, which boosted their morale.
They followed the railroad tracks and walked firmly towards the tall tower in the middle of the city. Along the way, they did not encounter any threats or obstacles, and a few hours later, they arrived at the bottom of the sky-high tower.
From a distance, the tower looks like vines, but when you come close to it, you can notice that it is nearly the size of a stadium, with only one entrance, and the entrance is completely dark.
There is a breeze blowing from the black hole, and it makes people panic in the deep. It stands to reason that this atmosphere should be solemn, with the tragedy before going to the battlefield.
But this tragedy was broken by a pleasant bell.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
Someone pushed a small cart and came out from behind the tower. Several bells hung on the cart.
It is an old woman pushing the trolley. She buckled her waist, her hair was white, and her face was covered with folds. However, through her knife-like nose bone and her slender finger bone, one can vaguely see that she was also an amazing beauty when she was young.
The old woman was just like that, hunched over her waist, and pushed the cart to come to them. The top of the cart was filled with oranges, candies, and common food such as dried meat. On the lower floor are some very common wooden tokens carved by rune.
"Would you like to buy some body protection symbols or food?"
old woman picked up an orange , Asked: "Oranges are very sweet."
The four people looked at the old woman and all felt that the picture was indescribable. Hoffa thought to himself at this time, shouldn't there be a swearing ceremony or something to add a tragic atmosphere, why would someone sell them oranges?
Seeing that all four of them were silent, the old woman sighed and put the oranges back in the cart.
"In the past two years, many people have come in here and wanted to go to the top of the tower, but they entered and never came out again. I think maybe when you can’t get out , You will regret not having a full meal before you go in..." she babbled.
"Do you know the owner of this tower?" Hoffa asked.
"Ah, you said the master of the tower, the old woman straightened up proudly and said happily: "Of course I know him, but he is my husband. "
"Your husband? "
Hoffa as if was struck by lightning, people like Silby can still have wives. It's a hell. Dumbledore, Osivia, and Miranda are also a hell of a ghost, they probably Knowing the age of the half-man king, he is more than a thousand years old. Even if he had a wife, he would have died a long time ago.
Speaking of this, the old woman immediately became interested. On the cart, he said enthusiastically: "I'll tell you, I was the first person to give him sex. "
The old woman said with a smile of mysterious and secretive: "When I was very young, I was appointed by his father Ramiro I as his personal caregiver. But when he was young, he didn't want to be a king, and he liked to run around. At that time, I was very troubled to control him.
But there are some men who can't control them, they can only follow him. Later I found out, but it was too late, he left me and went to unknown places.
I thought I would never see him again. However, the interesting thing is that in the end I heard that although he did not become our king, he did become the king of the wizard. After hearing the news, I returned to serve him. "
paused, the old woman is a little sad but confidently said: "Although he has almost never seen me, I believe he still loves me deeply. "
Listening to the weird remarks of the old woman, Hoffa couldn't help asking: "You...how long have you been here?" "
The old woman with white hair looked up and thought for a while: "How long... I haven't counted it either. I only know that day by day, everyday all is almost the same, so it doesn't matter how long it takes. "
"Will you not die?" Hoffa asked in shock, and Miranda secretly stepped on him.
"He didn't die, how could I die!" ! ? "
The old woman said fiercely fiercely, her expression was terrifying, and she suddenly became excited: "I have been with him since I was three, and I gave him everything when I was sixteen. No one loves him more than I do. If he doesn't give me a place, I will never die! Hmph!"
The old woman said with some pride, she pushed up the cart again, "Hey, I said, do you want to buy some food or body protection symbols." I left without buying. "
"Forget it, thank you, we don't need it. "Hoffa said with lingering fear, Dumbledore and Osivia also shook their heads and refused to buy old woman products.
Only Miranda took a step forward and calmly took out a Silver Coin from his pocket, "Sell Let me be one. "
After all, she took an orange from the trolley and shook it, "If you buy an orange for a Silver Coin, you must have earned it. "
"When you taste it, you will know who earned it. "Old woman said with a smile, pushing a small cart, around the tower, ding ding dong dong disappeared.
