Magic Journey from Hogwarts

A blue-purple energy field suddenly opened in a room, and Gordon brought Aaron and Jane to the Inhumans' gathering place - the afterlife.

This is a quaint town built between the mountains. Occasionally, young men and women can be seen strolling leisurely on the modern streets. Looking out of the window, you can see the connected mountains and the dense woods covered with snow below.

"The greenery is nice, the environment is also good, it's a great place for vacation and retirement." Aaron commented with some emotion. This place reminded him of the elves' royal city, although it was dozens of times worse.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Gaius." The middle-aged woman with several obvious scars on her face sitting at the desk smiled. Reina, who was wearing a hood, stood next to her.

“I’m Jiaying, the leader of the Inhumans.

Also Daisy... or maybe you'd rather call her Skye, and I'm her mother."

"I've heard a lot about you." Aaron sat opposite Jiaying and looked at the oriental woman in front of him meaningfully, "It's hard to imagine that Skye has a mother like you.

If your ability is to absorb the lifespan of others to gain immortality, you must have killed a lot of people since you have lived for so long!"

"Yes, quite a few." Jiaying did not deny it. "The elders are willing to sacrifice their lives so that I can gain immortality and correctly guide the Inhumans."

"It's really... a necessary sacrifice. It will make you feel less guilty."

“No, I was in a lot of pain every time.

They all watched me grow up, or I watched them grow up." Jiaying said calmly, "So I must be a qualified leader, protecting the afterlife and the Inhumans. This is a responsibility I cannot shirk."

"Even willing to give up her husband and daughter?" Aaron joked, "Skye is doing pretty well, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a regular employee.

Her captain is still Phil Coulson. Although he can be annoying sometimes, I have to admit that he is a good man, a responsible and affectionate man.

But what about your husband? I'm more curious about how you deal with him?"

“It wasn’t Jiaying who handled it,” Lena interrupted hesitantly, “It was Skye and Coulson who handled it.

SHIELD erased Carl's memory, allowing him to forget all his troubles, become an ordinary doctor, and start a new life. "

"It sounds good, so let's get back to the topic!" Aaron looked Jiaying in the eyes and said meaningfully: "You should be able to guess why I came to you!"

"It has something to do with that boulder."

“As you wished, I entered the other world and met the guy that you and the Kree people feared.

I can tell you responsibly that he is still alive.

Although he is quite weak, as long as he has enough supplies he can recover to his peak state in the shortest time.

This is the information you wanted to know. Fortunately, I went in. If someone else went in, it would be a blessing not to be his food, not to mention taking out the information. "

Jiaying's pupils shrank slightly, and a flash of horror flashed across his eyes.

But she quickly calmed down and said with a relaxed smile: "The stone has been destroyed, hasn't it?"

"Skye told you?"

"She is my daughter after all. The Inhumans have lost a threat. She will naturally tell me, her mother, such good news."

"Beautiful." Aaron clapped his hands, a hint of sarcasm on his face, "But now I'm the only one who can open the portal."

After the words fell, Jiaying's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face froze instantly, "What do you mean?"

"That's literally true, of course.

You asked both of them to come to me for cooperation before, but I refused.

But later he helped you achieve your goal in a confused way, exploring the other world, determining whether that person was still alive, and destroying the boulder, making it impossible for him to come back.

I don’t know if you contributed to this, but since I did it, I have to get paid.”

Jiaying forced a smile, "Gaius, this seems a little unreasonable!"

“Who told you to talk to Skye before when I was standing next to you?

Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to suffer losses? " Aaron said as he drew a circle in the air with one hand, and an orange-red portal appeared in front of several people.

Across the portal was an endless desert, with two planets, one large and one small, hanging in the sky.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers and the portal disappeared.

"You know I don't use magic easily.

But seeing is believing, and nothing I can say will be as convincing as this portal."

Jiaying swallowed hard, no longer having any hope in his heart. "What reward do you want?"

"That's great." Aaron looked at Jiaying with a hint of appreciation, and then raised two fingers, "I won't make it difficult for you. I only have two requests."

"First, tell me who that person in the other world is."

"His name is Beehive. He is a human warrior captured by the Kree during the Mayan civilization. He is also the first Inhuman who was successfully tested."

"A figure of ancestor level!" Aaron sneered.

"Since he is the first Alien, why does he pose a threat to Aliens?" Lena asked puzzled.

"Think about the ancestors of mutants." Jiaying sighed helplessly, "Apocalypse is a lesson for us, but Hive is even bloodier than Apocalypse.

His ability is... to control aliens, from their bodies to their minds."

"Hiss!" Reina took a breath of cold air, "I think I understand why you are so afraid of him.

Hive may not be the most powerful Inhuman, but he is definitely the most dangerous Inhuman."

"It really perfectly fits the characteristics of a parasite!" Aaron felt inexplicably moved when he thought of the worm that was parasitic on the skeleton.

“Second, I need information about the afterlife, a place similar to where the Inhumans live.

You have lived for so long, you must know this information."

"Why are you interested in this?" Jiaying was a little surprised, "Shouldn't you..."

"What should I do? Keep a low profile like you guys and try not to get involved in anything?" Aaron sneered and shook his head, "Don't put me in the same position as you Inhumans.

You keep a low profile to survive, I keep a low profile to live.

Survival and life are two different concepts, but I have never worried about survival from beginning to end."

Jiaying nodded thoughtfully, then took out a document from the bookshelf behind him, "You have a lot of information you want, but the Inhumans can only confirm this one.

I can give it to you, but it cannot have anything to do with the Inhumans."

Aaron rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "I'm not going to destroy them, I just want to collect some materials to improve my alchemy.

If the Inhumans have what I want, I'm too lazy to bother with it.

But most of the people in this town are mutants without awakening abilities, and they live ordinary lives. Obviously, they don’t have what I want.

If you don’t believe me, we can sign a contract.”

"No need, I believe in Gaius's credibility." Jiaying put the document on the table, "I hope it helps you."

Aaron opened the file silently, and after reading a few lines, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Taro Village is full of rare and exotic animals.

Isn’t this just another forbidden forest? There are definitely materials he needs in there, and there will be plenty of them.

"This really helps me." Aaron threw the file to Jane, "Take a look! We'll go to this place later."

“A friendly reminder, Mr. Gaius.

That forest is alive, and outsiders are not welcome in Taro Village."

"is it?"

"Of course, this certainly won't stop you, but you should also keep a low profile, right?"

Aaron didn't comment, then turned to look at Gordon, "Would it be convenient for you to take us there? I'm sure you know the way."

Gordon hesitated and said, "I can't get in. There is a special power guarding it."

"Just bring it to the entrance, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Gordon looked at Jiaying, and there seemed to be a hint of inquiry on his eyeless face.

"Take Mr. Gaius with you!"

"Yes." Gordon nodded slightly, walked to Aaron and Jane nervously, and opened the blue-purple energy field.

After they left, Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's better not to have any ideas about him in the future." Lena said to Jiaying solemnly, "You know I can see the future, but his future is very vague. I can only analyze some clues from the futures of other people."

“I know, and I don’t want to trouble Gaius unless it’s necessary.

If he becomes an enemy of the Inhumans, then everything will be over."

“Then you still…” Lena’s voice suddenly stopped and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Jiaying was seen holding a transparent glass jar in his hand, and inside the jar was a black square stone.

"This, this...don't tell me this was cut from that stone?"

"Are you surprised?" Jiaying put the glass tube on the table and explained as a matter of course: "The people who have done the most in-depth research on the monolith are not the Kree, nor Hydra, nor S.H.I.E.L.D., but the Inhumans who are most wary of it.

The elders already knew how to open the portal, but that world was an absolute forbidden place for aliens, and once they went in, there was no way back.

As for Hive... He is the first Inhuman, but bringing him back to Earth would be a huge disaster for the Inhumans, unless..."

"Unless the Inhumans encounter a devastating disaster." Lena seemed to understand something and spoke first.

"Yes." Jiaying nodded seriously, "It's funny, isn't it? The Inhuman that the Inhumans fear the most may one day become their lifeline."

Reina was silent for a while, her voice trembling slightly, "Perhaps that day will not be too far away."

The world is changing too fast, not only with the explosion of technology, but also the explosion of extraordinary abilities.

The Inhumans do not have powerful technology, nor do they have extraordinary abilities to control the situation. When disaster strikes, they are like a small boat that can capsize if they are not careful.

"So we need Gaius' help?"

"What?" Lena opened her mouth in surprise, "Jiaying, you should know who he is, it's better for the Inhumans to try not to have anything to do with him.

And I think he thinks the same way. Isn't it better for both sides to keep to themselves?"

"Of course I know, but the Inhumans need his contract, a contract that can restrict the Hive." Jiaying said seriously, "Now the portal that can open the other world is in the hands of the Inhumans, and the Hive is in an extremely weak state...

This is the most reliable way I can think of to protect the Inhumans when disaster strikes."

Lena was speechless. Although Jiaying's idea was a little crazy, it seemed... correct.

"Maybe it's not that bad."

“Reina, I have lived a long time, and I used to have the same naive ideas as you.

But after I was dissected by Hydra, I realized how wrong I was, and the truth is... it's always worse than you think."

......

On the other side, Gordon brought Aaron and Jane to a giant bamboo forest.

"This is it. I don't know where to go next."

"I know, you can go."

Gordon bowed slightly and teleported away.

Aaron looked at the entrance to the bamboo forest and said with a smile, "I remember that Sequence 8 of the Moon Path is a Tamer, right?

There are many rare and precious animals in this secret realm, you can choose one you like."

"I don't need it," Jane said calmly, "I've already digested the Tamer's potion, and it would be a waste of time for me to keep a pet. When I was with the Volturi, pets were usually used as food reserves."

Aaron's mouth twitched, "Whatever you want!"

"Would you mind going in there and helping me look for it?"

Jane smiled slightly and accelerated towards the entrance of the bamboo forest.

The vampire's speed made her almost turn into a shadow, and she quickly shuttled through the bamboo forest.

But after a while, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she stopped.

Susu...

The bamboo suddenly moved, blocking her way.

Then the bamboos behind quickly merged together, blocking the retreat route.

Jane tilted her head and jumped high before the bamboo forest on both sides could trap her. With little effort, she jumped to the top of a bamboo and stood steadily on it.

The bamboo forest seemed to have lost its target and stopped moving.

Jane didn't pay any attention to the bamboo forest, she just looked down intently.

However, all I could see was bamboo, and there was no so-called village at all.

Unwilling to give up, Jane started searching again, but this time she was more patient. She kept jumping above the bamboo, her red eyes carefully scanning every inch of the land.

Green bamboo leaves, ants on the ground, and even spider webs all came into view, but what caught her most was a waterfall deep in the bamboo forest.

It is the most secluded place in the bamboo forest and also the only source of water.

Her spiritual intuition told her that that was the true entrance to the secret realm of Tarot.

Jian smiled slightly, and a thick black mist spread out from behind him, forming a pair of illusory bat wings, and returned to the entrance of the bamboo forest from the air.

"Found it, Master.

If I'm not mistaken, Taro Village should be behind a waterfall."

"Good job, let's go!" Aaron snapped his fingers, took out the magic carpet from the space ring, and flew towards the waterfall with Jane on it.
