Chapter 0040 The bar of the tattered pot
Anne is now standing on a street in London, England, looking at the outdated clothes, hairstyles and decorations that were coming and going, as well as the old models of cars running on the road, roaring with black smoke. She knew that after passing through the fog portal, she did not return to Valorand as she wanted, but came to a place that made her feel strange. Fortunately, the only thing she can be sure of now is that it is still above the earth, because it can be seen from the English letters on the shops and billboards.
Originally, at the beginning, when Anne saw the various signs on the street for the first time, she naively thought that she was just teleporting from New York, the United States to London, the United Kingdom.
But she never thought that when she took out the contact mobile phone for senior agents produced by S.H.I.E.L.D. from her small schoolbag that had been carrying her back, she was angry and took out the contact mobile phone for senior agents produced by S.H.I.E.L.D., and planned to secretly contact Uncle Colson and Aunt Melinda, she suddenly realized that what was displayed on the mobile phone screen was: No recognition signal?
After blinking, Annie was a little confused when she looked at the conspicuous unidentified signal prompt on the screen. This was something that had never happened before. Uncle Colson and the others seemed to have said that this special advanced mobile phone contactor of SHIELD uses signals provided by military satellites? He also promised at the time that Annie could have signals wherever she went and could be located by SHIELD's satellites.
But now look! She is standing on the empty street now. What about the signal that she has agreed to be? How could there be no signal? It is all a liar! Or is the satellite of SHIELD a fake? Or is it running to the other side of the earth, so it was blocked by the earth?
Anne thought about it very distressedly for a while, but she didn't believe in evil again and found a public telephone booth in anger and dialed the numbers she had recorded again. But what surprised her was: the prompt sounds from the antique microphone reminded her: the numbers she just called were all empty numbers? How could this be possible?
It was not until she accidentally saw an expired newspaper discarded in an iron trash can on the other side of the phone booth, and when she saw that the date on the newspaper showed August 1, 1992, she finally came to her senses...
It turned out that Annie discovered that after passing through the unreliable fog portal, the place she came here should actually be another different earth, and it is very likely that it is an earth on a different timeline?
Anne is actually not too unfamiliar with terms such as timeline, time and space, and ectopic planes. On the Valorand Continent, the description of this information is quite detailed in various magic books. Moreover, there are some specialists who study these strange classification spells. It is said that there is an old man named Kieran who studies the most powerful time because he can actually lose himself in the timeline and gain eternal life from then on. I don’t know how many people have envied!
Although Anne was not very interested in these things in the past, she had read many similar books. So, now she is relatively easy to accept that she actually came to a different earth with different timelines and did not make too much fuss.
Now Anne can only know that the timeline she is in should be in 1992 on Earth. Her current location must be on a street in London, England. Moreover, the most important information is: there seems to be no S.H.E.L.D. in this timeline!
"Hey~! It's so annoying, Tibers... We seem to have run to a strange place again." Anne sighed in frustration. It seems that it is not so easy for her to find the way home. It's a long way to go... But, Anne will never give up anyway!
But fortunately, Anne had the foresight before. At that time, when she was about to fully enter the portal, she subconsciously used the fastest speed to secretly escape the space gem! Thinking about it now, she felt that her decision was really too wise and too decisive! Anne felt that she could give her behavior a full mark, plus a hundred likes!
Since she still has a space gem now, she still has a great chance of going home! At most, she just wants to try it a few more times. At worst, she can open the door a few more times. There will always be times when she is confused! This is not a big deal for Annie.
But what makes Annie angry the most now is: the space gem that claims to have infinite energy, it has no energy now? What about infinite energy that was promised? Sure enough, Annie thinks that the most things in the world are liars! According to the principle of conservation of magic energy and equivalent exchange that she knows, infinite energy should not exist at all!
Even her bear Tibers said just now that the Infinity Stone may have lost the power of directly extracting energy from the world because of its different worlds and different rules! Therefore, it lost infinite energy. However, it can still slowly absorb the free power in the space. When its energy charge reaches a certain level, it can still be used! Of course, this may take a little time... Well, it is actually a long time.
After understanding that Infinity Stone no longer has infinite energy, Anne, who knew that she could not go home for the time being, could only start to wander around this novel urban London in England. Anyway, it was not the first time to go to a strange place, so just stay here for a while!
Now Annie feels that she should have been used to it! Let’s play for a while! Just go find a place to stay before dark and after she is tired of playing. Anyway, her space pocket has money, so she is not afraid that someone will rob it! Now Annie is holding her up! Someone is so brave that she dares to provoke her.
Anne was wandering around. She originally thought that this world was just an ordinary earth world without S.H.E.L.D. But when she swayed and turned to an old street that was slightly remote, she saw that she had made a new discovery: a slightly old little house standing on the street, and it seemed so out of place with the surrounding buildings?
If the style is just an alternative, it would be fine, but what made Annie feel was that there was a faint magic fluctuation on the building? What surprised her even more was that except for her, no one else passing by the street seemed to have noticed this old house. In their eyes, the house seemed to be like it did not exist!
Even if someone's direction of travel is too close to it, the person will unconsciously go out a short distance further away before going to the other side? Curiously, Anne tried to analyze it briefly with the source traceability magic for a while, and then found that this fluctuation is very similar to some kind of expulsion plus hidden mixed magic. Although it is used lightly, it is unexpectedly effective! Moreover, it still uses the least magic power to achieve the near-the-most perfect effect!
After observing for a while, Annie discovered that this magic seems to be only targeting ordinary people who do not have any magic power. The earth on this timeline also has mages? And they are deliberately avoiding ordinary people. They actually hide their magical world in the city of ordinary people?
After discovering this problem, Anne closed her eyes and quickly scanned the entire city of London, England with her huge magical perception. As expected, she found many places similar to this building. It was really interesting!
Annie suddenly felt that maybe she might not be lonely while waiting for the recovery of space gems in this world? Because here, under the skin of the ordinary world, there is a medium-sized magic world hidden? This is much more fun than fighting aliens with S.H.E.D.
"Huh? The bar of the tattered pot? Or... the bar of the tattered pot? Why does it look dirty!" Anne tilted her head and looked at the tattered sign hanging on the building gate. The words on it were very rare and made it difficult for her to play. However, since she has discovered something interesting, of course she must go in and take a look.
After making the decision, Anne walked to the door of this building that ordinary people could not find. The magic of expulsion certainly had no effect on her!
Standing in front of the wooden door, looking at the thing that didn't look too strong, and after thinking about it, Annie still kicked it open. Who made its door knocker so high? She couldn't reach it! Moreover, the door panel looked dirty and smelly, and there were some disgusting sticky objects of unknown origin, so she didn't push it with her hands!
"Oh, Merlin's beard! I have said countless times before, don't kick my door! Don't kick my door! Can you poor guys afford to lose your money if you kick it out? That's an antique! Uh..." Tom, the owner of the broken cauldron bar, saw someone kicking the door in again, and was about to get angry, but he didn't expect that the one who came in would be a neat and clean, cute and well-behaved blond girl? This immediately stopped the vicious insult he had originally planned to say.
This situation surprised him a little, because generally speaking, most wizards go directly to the fireplace when they come to the broken pot bar, which is both convenient and fast! Few people will come in through the gate in a regular manner. After all, it is too troublesome to take a detour to the street and then come in! Perhaps, only those Muggle wizards who have not opened the fireplace will do this?
Frowning in confusion, he looked at the little girl who walked in, and then looked behind her, it seemed that there was no family accompanying her. This made Tom, as the bar owner, wonder again, when will the children come to the bar to play at will?
And, the most important thing is: look at her! It seems that she is not accompanied by her parents yet? She came here secretly to play alone? Meilin! This is not a place where a man and a woman stays. Is it really good to let such a young girl come to such a place? Aren’t her parents worried that some black wizards would abduct the little girl?
"Wow! So many magicians...apprentices~!" After Anne entered the door, her eyes quickly scanned the slightly shabby bar casually. She found that in addition to being a little dark, there were many mages drinking and chatting. Although many of them had poor magic fluctuations, some of them could only be considered as Valoran's apprentice level, but they could also be said to be magicians!
But they looked too dirty, darling! It was so disgusting! When Annie's eyes just glanced over a witch with messy hair, the man actually smiled at Annie, revealing his yellow teeth full of tartar. She was so disgusting that Annie almost couldn't help but burn him on the spot!
Anne frowned and looked vigilantly at the people in the dim corner. Are those, are they the dark wizards that my mother had mentioned before? It looks really disgusting! How long has it been since they took a shower? What a strange smell... I really want to burn them out immediately!
"Hello, a noble little guest! Do you need something?" Tom bowed slightly, poked out half of his body outside the bar, and smiled at Anne who walked into the store and looked flattering. All the guests were here. Anyway, the little girl had come, so he would do some business first.
Looking at the clean and tidy little girl in front of her, the old Tom, who was as slutty as a human, could tell at a glance that the other person was not an ordinary person!
Look at the fabric workmanship of the other party's clothes, and then look at the exquisite barbarian leather shoes on her feet. Can ordinary wizards afford it? How much does this outfit cost?
Old Tom, who has been in the bar for many years, talks about people and talks about monsters, is better than anyone else. If a dirty old wizard comes in, he will definitely only say: Want to drink something? Then at the same time, he will signal the other party to give money immediately! If you don’t have money? If you don’t have money, get out! If you want to go to Diagon Alley? Then go around the bar and turn right, come to him and sway and look at him!
"Just get something delicious!" After planning to observe the situation temporarily, Annie threw a Valoran gold coin to the bar and walked to an empty table. She felt like she was a little hungry, maybe eating some things first was a good choice, but she didn't know if it was delicious!
When Old Tom saw a golden flash flying towards him, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands and caught the coins thrown by the little girl in time!
After he took it steady, he looked carefully: It turned out to be a gold coin! Although it was not Jin Jialong, he couldn't understand what the text was written on it, but the amount of this gold coin was very large! It was said that he could not exchange for two to three Jin Jialongs? If it were ancient gold coins, it would even be more! It seems that he would make a big profit today.
After collecting the gold coins, Tom was about to pick up a glass of butter beer and put it on the plate, but he was stunned for a moment and immediately took it back. He was so happy that he actually wanted to drink a little girl?
So he immediately threw down the beer, replaced it with a glass of juice and milk, then added a large portion of cream cake, took out a large plate with a glass cover, carefully threw a few chocolate frogs into it, and finally served it respectfully to Anne's table.
"Your stuff is here, please enjoy it slowly! Dear guest!" As he spoke, he used his dirty rag to wipe Anne's table twice. Then Old Tom nodded and walked back to the back of his bar.
"Ah? It's so fun! It's actually a few moving frogs? And it seems to be made of chocolate? This is a moving chocolate frog!"
Annie widened her eyes and approached her almost to the glass cover. She looked at the brown frogs that were still jumping inside. These frogs not only screamed, but also bulged their gills and breathed. The skin was lifelike and the patterns were different. Huh? And each one was different? Wow! They actually jumped up and hit the cover to escape. What a magical thing! What a novel magic application! What a wonderful concept of deformation!
With just a glance, Annie could see the essence of the chocolate frog. She now felt that the magic world here was really interesting!
It seems to be very fun! Are they even making food so interesting? And she just noticed that the photos of the characters posted on the wall are also moving, and the magic here seems to be very popular in life.
After observation, Annie was about to start. She had just opened the glass cover of the plate and reached out and quickly grabbed a struggling chocolate frog. She took it in front of her, wanting to think about how to eat it. Could it be to bite off its head directly? Looking at the frog that was still struggling and screaming in her hand, Annie was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing how to put it in. This made her feel like eating a frog alive. Should she... roast it with the fire for a while before talking about it?
At this moment, the other frogs left on the plate finally caught the opportunity and immediately rushed out of the gap of the glass cover that Anne opened. They immediately dispersed after escaping. Before Anne could react, she jumped out of the table and jumped high into the air, and was about to land...
"Hmph!" Annie had noticed the frogs' small movements long ago. She wanted to escape? Don't even think about it! She hadn't played enough yet, how could they just escape like that? Besides, how dirty it would be after jumping to the ground? Should she eat it?
After Anne snorted coldly, all the frogs that escaped were immediately frozen in the air. They were like being grabbed by an invisible hand and frozen tightly. For a moment, Anne's magic made their limbs unable to move, so they could only quarrel and scream, and then slowly floated back to the plate on Anne's table.
The wizards who were paying attention to Anne and who saw the frog escape and were about to see Anne in a mess were shocked at this time... If they were not mistaken just now, then it was casting spells without a stick? And it seemed that it was silent, no curse without a stick and multiple floating spells instantly?! That "humph" sound is not a spell at all, right?
Meilin’s beard! Where did this little girl come out? Such a monster? Could it be that an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years has transformed it with a compound decoction?
Seeing Annie's move inadvertently, other black wizards who had seen the little girl make a big move, with a small plan, and were ulterior motives, and wanted to find an opportunity to attack the little girl, immediately gave up their originally unrealistic ideas! While I was secretly glad, they didn't even have the courage to look at the little girl at first sight! Still want to rob? Their calves are still a little trembling now! Fortunately, they didn't take action, otherwise whoever robs might have!
