Chapter 1644

For Ancient One, Hong Kong is not the best choice. If possible, she would prefer to choose London. It's just a pity that this is a matter of no choice.

Because with the demise of United Kingdom and the fall of New York, the Sanctum of these two places has been completely wiped out. And those apprentices who were sent into it by her were not in an accident, but I am afraid that they have completely cut off contact with the past following the flow of people who migrated.

To find them, I am afraid that it will take far more effort than budget. If this is the case, it would be more convenient to come to Hong Kong. At the very least, this eastern city is stable enough, and it has not experienced any major changes. If she is looking for an old apprentice here, she hopes it will obviously be bigger.

This is the main reason she came to Hong Kong. And apart from this, also one reason is that the apprentice Chief-In-Charge here is a guy she trusts very much.

Wang. It was a student she accepted in the early years. Not only is he proficient in martial arts, but he is also a sorcerer with outstanding achievements. On the subject of how the sorcerer uses the combination of spells and melee combat, this outstanding guy has quite remarkable insights and achievements. And it is precisely because of his excellence that he won the favor of Ancient One and became the most important role of left and right hands around her.

In Kamar-Taj's several decades, Wang has been an assistant to Ancient One and Chief-In-Charge of Kamar-Taj Library. Because of his sincerity and loyalty, Ancient One can always entrust him with important tasks. And even when Kamar-Taj is facing annihilation.

At that time, he was appointed Chief-In-Charge of Sanctum in Hong Kong, and was responsible for taking some apprentices and children to live steadily.

Ancient One is confident that he can be competent for such a character. Because he knows King Chu's ability and his character very well. It can be said that under such circumstances, if anyone can lead a part out of the predicament, then the king must be the second to none choice.

It can be said that Ancient One firmly believes that Kamar-Taj's apprentice must have lived safely in this city under the leadership of the king. The only thing she was not sure about was whether Wang was still alive.

Be aware that the lifespan of the sorcerer is not comparable to the cultivator of the practice Immortal Technique. It is normal to live 70-80 years old like an ordinary person. Of course, there are also abnormalities. For example, a druid who is proficient in potions as she used to be, or a druid who is good at natural spells. Then probably on this basis, we can live a hundred more several decades.

It's a pity that Wang spent his entire life struggling with how to combine spells and melee combat. Whether it was potions or natural spells, he was not very good at it. As for the technique of cultivation, it is even more regrettable, because he is not a guy with such a wise root. Therefore, if you count it carefully, the current Wang is probably in his 70s. And such an age is already very dangerous for a sorcerer like him.

It is very possible that only the tombstone belonging to the king can be seen in the line of Ancient One. But with a certain fluke mentality, she still hopes to see Wang himself. Driven by such thoughts, she has come to Sanctum, Hong Kong, in front of a church in Kowloon.

This church was replaced by several antiques from the Louis XIV period when she first colonized Hong Kong in the United Kingdom. According to the market value at the time, its value exceeded five thousand pounds. This little money at this time may not be regarded as anything, that is, it is only a matter of tens of thousands of dollars. But in the nineteenth century, this account was not calculated that way.

Be aware that at that time, the United Kingdom was still in the glorious period of the empire, and the British pound sterling was directly linked to the gold standard system. Simply put, the British pound is equivalent to the equivalent of gold. According to one pound and twenty shillings, one shilling and twelve pence, one penny can buy a bottle of ink, a fountain pen, and a wad of paper. The purchasing power of one pound is approximately equivalent to two thousand now. And when five thousand pounds are converted, how can they look like thousands.

This price was already a big expense at the time. I am afraid that the idle nobles can't come up with such a sum of money. Of course, judging from the exaggerated land prices in Hong Kong, the business of Ancient One sorcerer must be profitable. The church with a foundation area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters alone, if you want to take action now, it is estimated that you can sell an astronomical figure.

However, it is a pity that she not at all and then the idea of ​​turning over real estate to make a fortune. She just wanted to find Wang himself or get news from him as soon as possible.

The idea was so urgent that she had no time to follow the normal process, and she had already entered the church directly. As soon as she entered the church, she immediately noticed many unexpected situations.

She originally thought that running away with that many apprentices would be a lot of pressure for Wang. After all, many of the fugitives at the beginning were children. According to the saying that half-and-a-half children eat to death, it is basically impossible to fill so many belly without paying a huge price.

She is ready to be sold by the king. Even the antiques stored in Sanctum in Hong Kong, and also those magic props, are all prepared for them.

Once there is a problem of insufficient expenditure, there are more or less things in it that will keep them on top for a while. As for how long it can last, it depends on their own ability.

If you can find a way to make a living, it shouldn’t be a problem to keep going. But if you sit and eat the mountains, and then develop a problem that doesn't hurt when you sell the land, then even Jinshan Yinhai is not enough for them to toss.

Wang is an honest person. It shouldn't be done what hedonistic son of rich parents would do. But whether those apprentices will do this is not certain.

If Wang is dozens of years younger and can keep pressing them, this is not a problem to worry about. However, precisely because this is an impossible thing, so naturally, at first, Ancient One sorcerer will inevitably think about the worst possible.

The family disciple and so on, she is already psychologically prepared. The only thing I didn't expect is that this Sanctum is still the same as 30 years ago. Not to mention the missing items, even the decoration inside is still the same as 30 years ago. There is not even a trace of aging.

This is very unusual, because you have to know that this is a Victorian building in the nineteenth century. Many things in it are standard antiques today, even with decoration. If you want to keep these things in their original appearance, regular maintenance by dedicated personnel is indispensable. And this has always been a troublesome problem. Because just filling in that bill and check can make many people feel distressed.

Ancient One sorcerer has hundreds of years of savings, of course rich and imposing does not matter. But Wang Ke did not have such financial resources. How did he maintain this building so that it keeps its original appearance. In the eyes of Ancient One, this is simply an unsolvable mystery.

Is it possible that he has built a circus troupe and supported this Sanctum by taking his apprentices to do business? This is too outrageous, and the circus team is not so profitable.

With a lot of question marks, Ancient One quietly entered the depths of Sanctum.

Along the way, she saw a lot of apprentices. It's just that these apprentices are new faces to her. These young children are unlikely to have experienced the Kamar-Taj extinguish sect tragedy, but some of the middle age persons can make her vaguely see the silhouette of the Kamar-Taj apprentice.

She didn't dare to come out to recognize each other rashly, so she could only hide her own figure and walked all the way to the deepest part of Sanctum. As soon as she entered the deepest part of Sanctum, she immediately noticed a guy who seemed very familiar.

From the looks of it, this guy is seven to eight similar to the king in his impression. But in her memory, Wang should be a thin, 40-50 years old middle age person, not the one who looks at most 30 years old and is a little blessed.

This is Wang's son? Ancient One, who was guessing in his heart, quickly rejected this conjecture. Because she had never heard of the king having a son, and besides, what was flowing in front of this guy was their Kamar-Taj lineage's most orthodox spell fluctuations, something that only she could teach. Without her professor, even if it is a descendant of the repost, it is impossible to have such aura.

So, there is only one answer, that is, the guy in front of her is the king herself she is looking for.

But shouldn't Wang now look like an old man in his 70s? Why does it seem that besides getting a little fatter, he also got younger? The puzzled Ancient One looked at this deceased person, and for a while, he had some feelings that he didn't know what to say. But soon, she made up her mind, and greeted this somewhat strange king in front of her.

"Long time no see, Wang!"

Suddenly speaking, it was obvious that Kamar-Taj sorcerer called Wang jumped. He subconsciously picked up a mallet-like object from his side, and then slammed it in the direction of oneself's voice behind him.

However, a golden barrier blocked his attack, and the moment he saw the Ancient One sorcerer, he immediately stopped oneself's hand movement, and said to her in a somewhat unbelievable manner .

"Paragon sorcerer? God, are you still alive? I thought..."

"No, it’s nothing. It’s fine if you come back. It’s so amazing to see you I’m happy, I really thought I would never see you again in my life?"

The appearance of Ancient One made Wang’s mood fluctuate significantly, but soon he adjusted own mentality, and warmly welcomed her. Looking at Wang Yi's sincere smile, Ancient One also slowly showed a smile.

"You are right, and I thought I would never see you. But destiny still favors me more or less. Okay, let’s not talk about this. Tell me about you, you. .. How did it become what it is now?"
