Section 28 Betrayal

Hongshi couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his potion. Did he get something wrong when he made it? After all, wizards are not machines. Even if they are very skilled wizards, it is normal to make mistakes by chance. Hongshi cannot guarantee that they will get flawlessly all the time.

Anticus is talented, but I don't know why he can't.

Maybe it's a little earlier.

Although many people think that wizards are a profession that they have learned since childhood, Redstone knew from his teacher that the fundamental reason for those apprentices had nothing to do with the true ability of wizards. In fact, it is better to say that they are wizards' assistants, responsible for some miscellaneous things. The most basic power of a real wizard is psychic, and this is basically allowed after adulthood, with rationality and calmness. Anticus is indeed young. In fact, if it weren't for his strong request, Redstone felt that he should have made him start his first attempt in two or three years. The result also seemed to prove that his judgment was correct.

"Teacher...that...I didn't feel that feeling..."

"This kind of failure is normal, it's just the first time." Hongshi tried his best to comfort him. He didn't want his students to leave any psychological shadows. "Don't go on, go back and take a break..." He thought again that maybe he needed to arrange some work for his students, so that he wouldn't think too much about the failed psychic experience. "By the way, there is an invitation, you can go on my behalf."

“What invitation?”

"Go to Europe, there is a magical party there. Although you are just an apprentice, you can go for me." Redstone himself could not go there, and the United States government is watching. "Just treat it as a free tour, learn by the way - if you have the chance - the useful experience of others."

He casually came to his desk to open the drawer and took out the invitation from the drawer. He had many such invitations, and people everywhere invited him to invite him, perhaps not unique in the world, but he was definitely the most famous magician. But this invitation was unique, with small checks used to purchase air tickets and documents for booking hotels. It was about a month later, held in a big European city. The invitation was introduced that by then, the celebrities in the entire European magic circle would almost come.

Anticus went out of the Redstone residence. The great wizard's residence was still simple and no one dared to renovate his house at will. But looking around, almost all the houses of the entire tribe have been completely renovated. The roads were well repaired, and almost every household bought new cars. In addition, a large number of shops, including restaurants, bars, cinemas, cafes and other consumption places have emerged. This scene is completely different from a year ago.

There is an old saying in the Republic, "Silver happens a thousand times a day." It vividly depicts the huge role of money plays in social operation. This is fully reflected in the capitalist United States.

Now, this Indian land is thriving at the fastest speed. It could only be called a small town, but it is now rapidly transforming towards a "small town". Perhaps in three or five years, it will become a medium-sized city. This is not a delusion, but the chief seems to be working hard in this direction.

There is actually planning to build a new museum... Here it shows the traditional Indian culture. It is completely like a rich and rich man.

Of course, it is not an exaggeration to be called "rich" in the tribe now. However, being rich means being rich in the public and having nothing to do with Anticus himself.

In fact, just for himself, he had to admit that he was much poorer than a year ago. Because he did not owe any debt at least a year ago.

After walking a distance, he slowly took out a bottle from his pocket.

A very common glass bottle, or potion bottle, can be easily bought in any pharmacy in a civilized country in this world. At this moment, the glass bottle contains some kind of potion.

He took out his cell phone and made a call. The other party answered it almost instantly, obviously waiting for a long time.

"I got the thing." He said softly. Looking at the bottle in his hand, he felt a little uneasy. But then he realized that he had no choice. If he didn't pay the money, there would be no hesitation on the debt collection side. If the matter of borrowing money outside was discovered... he would rather not think about this consequence. "Fifty thousand knives. Give the money first!"

"Of course, no problem." The other party answered quickly and directly, which made him feel relieved.

After about three minutes, the phone received a prompt that his bank account had 50,000 yuan. He finally felt relieved and used the money to pay off his debts one by one.

Fifty thousand yuan is indeed not a small amount of money. The three debts owed were paid off smoothly. Of course, there was not much balance left in his bank account. Thinking of his girlfriend's repeated mentions that she wanted to attend a celebrity concert, he felt a little trouble.

Participating in a concert is not just a matter of two tickets. Because the concert is in other big cities, it means that hotel accommodation, dining, transportation, and buying souvenirs - of course, the most important thing is to go shopping in big cities and shop happily! When you think of your girlfriend's appetite, Anticus estimated that it would cost more than 20,000 yuan.

He had already felt a huge pressure. But when he thought of his girlfriend's sexy red lips, her gentleness and considerateness, her soft waist and slender thighs, the little determination in his heart was like a candle in the wind, which instantly extinguished.

The phone rang over there. "Have you received the money? Then we meet in the old place!" The other party spoke simply and bluntly, without a single word of unnecessary nonsense.

He walked along the road for about an hour and came to a nearby auto repair shop - the factory seemed half dead and had a business list. But since the tribe's situation was completely renewed, the repair shop became more and more enthusiastic.

Currently, there are at least twenty mechanics in the repair shop, plus some other personnel, providing at least thirty jobs to the tribe. Of course, because the tribe is now short of people, half of the mechanics here are white.

Anticus walked into the reception room of the repair shop, and someone was already waiting here.

He took out the glass bottle without any hesitation and handed it to the other party.

"This is... the psychic potion prepared by the great wizard?" the other party asked.

"I'm sure I should have drunk it," Antiquus said with some impatientness. "Then I can start learning the first lesson of the wizard. But I gave up this opportunity and brought it to you."

Although 50,000 yuan is important, he has to admit that it is a pity to miss this opportunity. Even if he is sure that he will have another chance in the future.

"But we also paid the corresponding price." The other party said. The contempt in his words made Anticus feel uncomfortable. He hated this person, but he had no choice.

"Okay, I'll leave." While the other party was carefully looking at the bottle in his hand, Antiquus said goodbye and left.

"A bottle of real...the potion used by wizards to assist psychics...is not the kind of fraud that is used for sale." The other party did not stop Anticus from leaving, but just stared at the bottle and muttered to himself softly. He had a desire to drink it directly. Maybe he could also have the power of an Indian wizard because of this. But reason told him that without guidance, even if it was a real potion, it would be useless for him to drink it. This is something used to teach the first lesson, but it can only be used to teach the first lesson, which does not mean that you can learn magic immediately.

Put the bottle away and he drove away quickly.

On that night, the commissioner received the final information about the "Psychic Potion" test. The person who sent the report was an experienced and experienced subordinate in chemistry. The test of the potion was carried out under his supervision. It is believed that the test report would be rigorous and reliable.

"You mean," the commissioner looked at his subordinate in front of him, "is this a bottle of hallucinogen?"

"Yes, yes, the ingredients are not much different from the ordinary psychic potion - the ones we bought from Redstone. It adds some extra ingredients, but there is reason to think none of them is key."

"Anyway, on the psychic potion, did that Indian not deceive us?"

"Yes, I can think so."

The commissioner leaned hard on the back of the chair, which was not good news. This shows that the secret hidden by the Indians was not that simple.

He believed that it was a "window paper" type of secret, but it was not easy to break the window paper. It seemed that patience was needed in this regard. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to leave. Then he opened the communication software and contacted Mr. Peter, who is currently the captain of the frozen soil ecological research and survey team. They have been setting off for a while now - in fact, the relevant matters are not fully prepared at this time, but time is everything. Mr. Peter cleverly chose to change his ways. By the time, he was already in Nordic.

"How is the expedition going on?"

"It went well, and the Russians had given permission," Peter replied in the software. "Now we have reason to stay there for a whole year - I'm making final preparations for the supplies."

The expedition team is not that simple. After all, it is an activity to take a group of people away from the wilderness of the civilized world. It is understandable to spend more time preparing. The commissioner attaches great importance to this operation and opens the door to convenience in terms of budget and personnel.

It is very likely that the Red Empire got clues of supernatural abilities from this place, and finally established a force.

"By the way, there's something. Armstrong asked one of his students to attend."

"Professor Armstrong? That ancient linguist?" The commissioner felt a little strange. Of course, this professor was actually very important. In fact, they predicted that they had a high probability of getting ancient documents. For example, stone sculptures, etc. It is the professor's responsibility to correctly interpret and translate their ancient documents. Some people may think it would be easier to take a photo and send it back and translate it, but the commissioner believes that such a person is needed in the team in case.

"Yes, it's him," Peter said. "His student is a talented girl. A person with a very talented linguistic talent will be useful if there are indeed difficult ancient words to interpret."

"Genius girl, another genius girl..." the commissioner muttered. "Does this require us to do?"

"Nothing is needed. The genius girl has a lot of money in her family. She can even serve as a donor to the team."

The commissioner felt a little confused for a moment. Donate and contribute. However, these experts, scholars and professors in the team did not know the truth about the journey. They were all told some plausible information. For example, Professor Armstrong, who was told that the expedition team was conducting research on permafrost ecology, but in fact they were looking for a ruin of ancient civilization. But he had no idea that this matter was related to the magic research of the United States.

By the way, Professor Armstrong, as an ancient language scholar, is also an archaeological fan. It is not difficult to convince him to participate in this expedition. In fact, he is still actively giving advice on the expedition.

"Nothing is needed?"

"Yes, there is no need to do anything." Even though I am across the Internet, I can still detect the eager expectation of my subordinates. "Not only that, this will make our work progress faster."

"Then let's do what he said." The commissioner replied uninterestedly. This is nothing. He now understands why he wants to introduce a newcomer. Well, this is actually just a matter of funding. You know, if donors are introduced, some of the money that has been budgeted long ago can be spent without spending it, and can be quietly left in some people's pockets. Considering that this is going to stay in the snow for three months or even longer, this kind of action is understandable. As long as it does not affect the progress of the task, he can turn a blind eye.

He can even get a part of it himself.

"Have you considered the rotation of personnel?" the commissioner reminded. This operation must be thoroughly considered, especially for a protracted war. If the Gate of Hell is really directly related to the superpowered forces, it means that the Red Empire invested huge capital and time costs back then. In other words, this expedition may not be solved in a few days, and may take three months or even more.

"There are two plans, the first is to rent a boat, and the second is an airplane. We will set up a small camp in a natural port there as a transit station and hire a few locals. We can also use a small airport in the Red Empire era. However, the airport has been abandoned for a long time and I don't know what the situation is, and it may attract the attention of the Russian country. At present, we plan to use the airport as the first plan. If the airport is difficult to repair, then we will choose the second plan."

"Very good." The commissioner replied. As an expert of old experience, Mr. Peter's arrangement was perfect. "I'm waiting for your good news."

"We will definitely live up to what we have entrusted!" Peter pledged to promise there.
