Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 206 The Arrival of the Three Old Ones
Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on Isabel's door, which made her a little nervous.

Ever since her brother suddenly left without saying goodbye a few days ago, she has been in this state of anxiety, even though her brother's colleague named Death Star is still here and told her not to worry, Rorschach will be back soon.

But she was still worried, always fearing that her brother might have another accident.

As for the sudden knock on the door, it did scare her, because she had been in Old Lington for more than half a year and had never encountered a visitor.

After signaling her to be patient, Ou Hunt walked straight to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Is Isabel here? It's me, Lilith!" A voice familiar to both Isabel and Ouhunt came from outside the door.

"Lilith?!"

Isabel also recognized her best friend’s voice and was surprised and delighted!
But Ohunt whispered, "This is Old Lington."

Ou Hunt’s words woke Isabel up instantly!
Yes, this is Old Lington, not Lancelot City. How could Lilith appear here?
Isabel's face turned slightly pale when she realized this, because she suspected that someone was pretending to be Lilith and wanted to murder her.

Lilith, who didn't know what to do for a moment, immediately looked at the Death Star wizard who was resting with his eyes closed. The latter said without even opening his eyes: "Don't worry, you can't die while I'm here."

What the Death Star Grand Wizard said was indeed harsh. Isabel would have probably felt uncomfortable before hearing it, but now it sounded so pleasant to her ears.

She knew that her brother was mysterious and extraordinary. This 'Death Star Sister' was her brother's colleague, so she must be quite extraordinary.

Since she said it's okay, then it must be okay.

Isabel, who understood this, immediately signaled to Ou Hunt to open the door and see what was going on.

Ouhunt didn't say anything else and opened the door.

Sure enough, there were three familiar figures outside the door, Isabel's best friend Lilith, and her brother McCoy.

And Douglas, whom they later met on the train.

The sudden appearance of this familiar trio not only failed to let Isabel let down her guard, but made her even more nervous!

The reason is the same as before, this is Old Lington.

She and O'Hent were able to come to Old Lington thanks to Rorschach, and were led here by the Yellow Sect.

What's going on with Lilith and the other three?

Lilith and McCoy believe in the 'God of the Prophet of Destiny' Snakebeard Baiatis, while Douglas believes in the 'Ancient Immortal' Taviart, which are completely different Old Ones.

Even if some of them were led to Oldlington by the Old Ones they believed in for some reason, they wouldn't all come together, right?
This abnormal situation made Isabel even more alert!

Lilith on the other side also noticed that Isabel's reaction was a little strange. She immediately guessed what she was on guard against and quickly explained:
"My brother and I were led to Old Lington by the Prophet's Sect, and Brother Douglas was led by the Eternal Life Sect. We don't know the specific reason, but it should be related to your brother, Isa."

"Is it related to my brother?" Isabel was stunned when she heard that.

But she soon realized that this possibility was not impossible.

Because she herself was led to Old Lington by the Yellow Sect for this reason, it seems possible that Lilith and the others were also the same?

Just when Isabel was a little unsure whether what Lilith said was true or not, the 'Death Star Sister' who had originally closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes, looked at McCoy and Douglas behind Lilith and said:

"What are you two doing here?"

The sudden words of the Death Star Grand Wizard made Isabel and Ohunte realize something, and their expressions changed slightly.

On the contrary, it was Lilith, because she didn't know the situation of the Death Star Grand Wizard, and thought that the Death Star Grand Wizard was Isabel's friend or something like that. She suddenly asked this question only because she was not clear about their identities.

But she soon understood why Isabel and the others reacted that way.

Because as soon as the Death Star wizard asked this question, McCoy laughed and said:

"It's been many years since we last met, but the Grand Wizard of the Death Star is still as charming and arrogant as ever."

"You are just a stinky toad, and you are not a human being anyway, so don't pretend to be polite in front of me, Byatis." The Death Star wizard said indifferently.

The words of the Death Star Grand Wizard shocked Isabel and the other three!
McCoy's sudden strange tone, coupled with the way the Death Star Grand Wizard addressed him, made it difficult for Isabel and the others to guess that McCoy at this moment was probably possessed by the 'Prophet of Destiny' he believed in, Snakebeard Bayatis!
The one who was most impacted was Lilith.

Because the person who was possessed was her brother, and the possessor was the true God she believed in, this strange combination made her brain go blank in an instant.

At the same time, Douglas, who was standing beside McCoy, said, "That legendary scholar should be here too, isn't he?"

Douglas looked around as he said this.

"Haha, your intelligence work is really meticulous. You've figured out the details so quickly." The Death Star Grand Wizard sneered.

"After all, Old Lington is a huge transit station. There may not be much else here, but it must have the most intelligence." Douglas shrugged.

"Of course Old Lingdon has a lot of intelligence networks, but perhaps not many of them have extended their reach into the wizarding world. This must be the work of those bastards from Styx, right?" said the Great Wizard of the Death Star with disdain.

Obviously, he was not surprised at all as to how these two Old Ones knew information about himself and Rorschach.

As the first intelligence organization in the wizarding world, [Styx] already has a branch in Old Lingdon called [Dark Water].

Although his work in Old Warrington was not as good as Greenwood's, his understanding of the wizarding world was far beyond Greenwood's.

Of course, the information that [Styx] would sell to the outside world would definitely not be the kind that truly involves the core interests of the wizarding world. Otherwise, no one would be held accountable, and the 'Throne of the Abyss' would destroy them immediately.

But on the other hand, as long as they do not cross the bottom line, it is equivalent to having a powerful person standing behind them.

With the protection of the 'Abyss Throne', they are indeed not afraid of retaliation.

Just like now, even if the Death Star Grand Wizard knew that it was most likely Styx who sold his and Rorschach's information to the two Old Ones, he still couldn't do anything to them. Regarding the Death Star Grand Wizard's speculation, McCoy and Douglas were noncommittal, and didn't say yes or no.

Because they cannot possibly admit it, otherwise they will definitely offend [Styx]. No one would be willing to easily offend such a huge intelligence organization whose power spans across different world groups.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell them. They are in big trouble this time. Whoever sells this information will be in big trouble... I guess you won't see the people who sold you this information soon." The Death Star's Great Wizard said coldly.

McCoy and Douglas did not change color when they heard this, but they continued to remain silent. It was obvious that they did not expect it to turn out like this.

The person who sold them the information was indeed someone from the Styx, or more precisely, the person in charge of the Dark Water, a six-ringed great wizard of the abyss.

But since the Grand Wizard of the Death Star dared to say this, he was obviously confident that he could make the Styx pay a heavy price. In this case, wouldn't they be harming their old friend?
The person in charge of [Dark Water] has a deep friendship with many of the Old Ones, including the two of them.

Otherwise, there would be no way to do intelligence work properly in Old Warrington.

However, the person in charge of Dark Water apparently did not realize the significance of his selling the information about Rorschach and the Grand Wizard of the Death Star.

You know, Rorschach's home was robbed while he was on this mission, so he went straight to the Star Sea World Group and killed the Great Laughing Wizard, and nothing happened to him.

Even though the Star Throne convened a supreme meeting for this matter, in the end it had no choice but to accept the matter.

Regardless of whether the person in charge of Dark Water knew the purpose of Rorschach and the Death Star Wizard coming to Old Warrington, since he dared to sell the information about the two to outsiders, the seriousness of this matter was extremely serious.

[Styx] has been able to walk in the gray area for so many years because they have been able to avoid crossing the bottom line.

But the information that Rorschach had with the Grand Wizard of the Death Star was absolutely a bottom line issue this time. As long as the Grand Wizard of the Death Star reported the matter back, the entire [Styx] would have to pay a heavy price for it.

By then, the person in charge of [Dark Water] will definitely have to bear the biggest blame. Even if he is a sixth-ring, he cannot bear this responsibility.

Just when McCoy and Douglas were having a headache, Ouhunt on the side suddenly spoke up: "Master Death Star Wizard, calm down. We have no ill intentions. In fact, the legendary scholar and I hit it off right away. This time, we actually wanted to see if there is any area for cooperation."

“Ou Hunter, you…” Isabel didn’t expect Ou Hunter to interrupt at this time. She looked at the butler in surprise.

"Don't be nervous, my child. He's fine. I'm just borrowing his body for a while." 'Ou Hunter' said to Isabel with a smile.

"You, you are the man in yellow?" Isabel also reacted.

Since the snake-whiskered Bayatis could borrow McCoy's body, and the one who possessed Douglas was most likely the one he believed in, then the one who possessed Ohunt at this time was naturally Hastur, the King in Yellow whom they believed in.

Isabel guessed his identity but didn't dare to call him by his name.

'O'Hunter' smiled and nodded, without denying it.

In this way, at this moment in this room, three Old Ones have descended with their consciousness at the same time!

Lilith was also shaking with shock, and didn't even dare to ask about McCoy's identity like Isabel did.

Isabel dared to do this because she had a powerful brother.

Otherwise, her reaction wouldn't be much better than Lilith's.

"Hasta, the Yellow King, I heard the legend mention you, and he really spoke highly of you." The Death Star wizard looked at 'Ohunt' and said lightly, "So you invited them to come here this time?"

"Tavel is, but that toad is not." O'Hunter glanced at McCoy and shook his head.

"Oh?" The Death Star Grand Wizard was a little surprised.

I didn't expect there would be such an episode here, but soon it thought of something: "I almost forgot that the rules you mastered are related to precognition."

'McCoy' smiled but said nothing.

However, from His reaction, it can be seen that the Death Star Grand Wizard hit the point.

The appearance of Lilith and her brother here was indeed an arrangement He made based on some clues He found in the long river of fate.

Meeting the 'Ancient Immortals' Tavel and Hastur here was something he had not foreseen before, but this also proved that the clues he was looking for were correct, and there was definitely nothing wrong with his arrangement.

"I don't care what your purpose is. This matter is not up to me. If you have anything to say...well, he has already replied. You can communicate with him directly." The Death Star wizard paused halfway through his words.

It was obvious that it received some message while speaking.

Upon hearing this, Ou Hunter immediately realized something, raised his hand and waved it, and the houses that originally existed around him disappeared.

This sudden change made Isabel want to cry but had no tears.

She didn't know what was going on between these big shots, but what did it have to do with her house?

But she soon realized that what 'O'Hent' had just done was not to erase her house, but to pull everyone present into a certain dimension of Old Lington, so that everything around them would disappear.

When they all came to this dimension, they saw a huge blood light coming from a distant unknown land in the sky, shining on the open space not far in front of them!

It was not until the blood light disappeared that one could see some more figures in the area previously covered by the blood light.

suddenly!

McCoy groaned and his face turned pale instantly!
Douglas beside him immediately supported him and said helplessly, "Don't try to spy on people's fate when you see them. The fate of those guys on the other side is not something you can easily spy on. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ouhunt had already spotted some people he recognized among the group of figures, and said in a serious tone, "The first speaker of the [Evil Council], the founder of the [Gate], the chairman of the [Intelligent Group]... What are these wizards going to do? Are they going to overthrow the entire Old Lington?"

"I didn't realize you were so familiar with the wizarding world." The Death Star's chief wizard looked at O'Hunter in surprise.

"I am an author. I need to collect materials to write. The world around me is my source of inspiration." 'Ou Hunter' said with a smile.
