My Little Pony: Another World Adventure

Chapter 127 Peacock, War Dog, Scarab.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Lena seemed tired. Her body had not yet recovered and she could not stay awake for long. She was already drowsy when the cut watermelon was served.

Seeing this, everyone who came to the dinner tactfully ate some fruit and got up to leave. Gregorovitch pushed his beloved daughter back to the room to rest. Cassandra, the oldest student, sent Colin, Ginny and others back to school. Qiu Wu volunteered to take over the job of washing dishes, but was rejected by Latan.

"How can we ask guests to do housework?" Latan pressed Qiu Wu down on the sofa in the living room without allowing any arguments, stuffed a cup of Darjeeling black tea brought by Cassandra into her hand, and waved his soul-devouring wand to make all the tableware fly into the sink. The faucet turned on automatically, and detergent and dishwashing cotton began to scrub the dishes in full swing.

He took out a rag from the pocket of his apron and wiped the table while saying to Qiu Wu, "You can stay in my room while you stay in the United States. I will be leaving soon anyway. But don't read my books. If you must read, don't wrinkle the pages, and don't write on them."

Qiu Wu held the hot teacup in his hand, his expression becoming serious. "Are you planning to destroy the evil black tower in Mordor?"

Latan paused while wiping the table. "Horus Lupercal, he is my prey. I will not allow anyone to hunt him except me. Moreover, if even I, who possesses the strongest psychic power, cannot defeat him, then your Colonel Chao Longchao and other brothers are no match for the great traitor Horus."

"As far as I know, the Lord of the Evil Black Tower gave you a magic ring that is related to his lifeblood." Qiu Wu took a sip of tea to cover up her slightly trembling hands. "You may be able to destroy the burning giant eye by destroying it, but... don't you think this may be a trick to lure you into a trap?"

Latan folded the rag and stuffed it into his apron, staring directly at Qiu Wu: "You don't even dare to mention Horus' name, so what qualifications do you have to influence my decision?"

“Although I am special, my essence is still a machine soul.” Qiu Wu smiled bitterly. “If the Lord of the Evil Black Tower is still a puppet of the Four Evils as we imagined, I will be destroyed by the warp even if I just think of his name in my heart. Mr. Magnus, I just hope that you can make a decision more carefully. After all, back then…”

She didn't tell anyone about what happened that year, but both Latan and she knew it clearly.

"I am no longer the person I was back then." Latan said softly, taking out the heavy dark gold ring from the Book of Magnus. "Perhaps you cannot understand what this means, but if Horus really gave me this ring that means so much to him of his own will, and tried to communicate with me through it persistently..."

Qiu Wu leaned back, trying to stay away from the ring that contained great power. Her eyes were alert and filled with regret. The Lord of the Evil Black Tower was supposed to be his most charismatic and politically wise offspring. She asked, "What does this mean?"

Latan's eyes looked strange, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He felt that the result of his reasoning was absurd and ridiculous: "Horus is expressing his love for his brothers to me, and trying to repair the damage caused in the past."

"What?" Qiu Wu covered her lips in surprise. "He - but - is this possible?"

"I don't know." Latan put away the ring. "Love is a feeling that is really hard to understand. Whether it is between family members, brothers, or men and women. Humans actually do all kinds of irrational things because of this kind of emotion. I... don't understand."

Qiu Wu looked at Magnus, who was confused, and said softly, "Lord of the Thousand Sons, perhaps I can give you an idea. Love is voluntary sacrifice. Even if you know that what you are going to do is of no benefit to yourself, you will do it without hesitation. This is love. Didn't Miss Cassandra beside you explain this point vividly?"

Friday, September 11st.

The bleak winter sunlight painted the hall into a gloomy tone. Mr. Argus Filch, the castle's head steward, waved his alchemical wand to light the candles floating below the ceiling in batches. His skinny Maine Coon cat, Mrs. Norris, rubbed his ankles like a snake.

Now Mr. Filch has also been promoted. With the recruitment of Squibs (wizards who cannot use magic) into the castle, he has been promoted to the head of the castle's daily maintenance team. He has a large number of administrators and Felynx under him, replacing the house-elves to serve students and teachers.

Latan took today's Daily Planet from Ahriman's claws and said to himself as he flipped through it, "I'm really not smart."

Colin was shocked: "Don't give up, brother! You still have to tutor me in math!"

"I don't mean stupid in this regard," Ratan said impatiently. "If you continue to make such low-level mistakes as adding and subtracting before multiplying and dividing, I can't imagine how many Soviet slaps you will have to endure from Professor Zangief in the next six years."

Dante suppressed his laughter and patted Colin's shoulder vigorously: "Then I can understand if you don't grow taller, buddy."

Minamoto Kiyotaka cut the steak on the plate and pointed at the newspaper in Latan's hand with his knife: "Is there any news worth paying attention to today?"

"Stark Group's Nasdaq index has been falling. Wall Street capitalists think that Tony Stark's idea of ​​using magic to replace traditional energy is a fantasy." Ratan turned over the boring front page written by Clark Kent. "A strange creature appeared in Finland. It is extremely powerful, green all over, and grows out of the ground. Isn't it a green orc? Riots broke out in several countries in northern Africa, causing a large number of civilian casualties. The cause of the riots is still unknown. A strange disease began to spread in various states in India. The patients grew spiral horns all over their bodies. Hey, here are pictures."

Ginny curiously leaned over to take a look at the photo in the newspaper. It showed a dark-skinned Indian woman with twisted horns growing all over her body, with her head being the worst affected area, with some even piercing into her skull and eye sockets.

This photo is disgusting just by looking at it. The little lioness paid the price for her curiosity and pushed the plate of bacon sandwich forward without appetite: "Indians actually think that this disease is a blessing from God. I really don't know what's in the minds of people in that subcontinent-"

Her tone suddenly changed, and Lani took over her body: "Brother, there is no doubt that this is a bad omen curse."

Marennia stopped spreading butter on her bread and said, "The ominous curse has appeared on such a large scale, which means..."

"That's right." Latan slowly clenched his fists, a smile full of fighting spirit appeared on his face, "The ominous twins born from the peace between Malika and Radagan - Monget and Monger, must have appeared in India. Great, during the Shattering War, I only had a hasty fight with Monget, and now I finally have the opportunity to fight with both brothers with all my strength."

"The strength of Monget and Monger should not be underestimated." Marenia reminded seriously, "And don't forget that they both have an elder brother - Godwin, who is named after gold."

Lani's illusory face frowned slightly: "The Night of the Black Blade brought death to Godwin and turned gold into a dead prince. If Godwin is brought back to the world by the Great Will, he may also be able to use the power of death."

Dante was very excited: "What Golden Prince of Death? Let him come! Let's see whether his power of death is stronger or my demon transformation is more powerful!"

Latan turned the newspaper to the part written by Luna's father, Mr. Lovegood, and saw the reward for clues and traces of the Scimitar-Horned Snork. He said: "Godwin's achievements mainly come from his unification of the ancient dragon clan, and now..."

"The ones who have dragons as allies..." Minamoto Kiyotaka said slowly, "are us."

During the conversation, the sound of flapping wings was heard outside the auditorium. The little wizards in grade two and above flew across the sky, riding the dragon monsters they had tamed in the Care of Magical Creatures class. Their armored figures looked like warriors resurrected from ancient myths, mighty and magical.

Colin blinked. "So... we're going to India?"

"After reaching India, we have to go all the way north, crossing the Himalayas and the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and heading straight to the evil land of Mordor in Mongolia." When mentioning the Himalayas, Magnus' eyes flashed with a complicated look. That is "his" palace and the center of the entire Universal Empire. "I decided to set off immediately after Christmas. The owner of the evil black tower and I still have some old grievances to settle."

"I suggest you plan your holiday activities later." Cassandra came over and handed Latan a note, "This is from Professor Dumbledore. It's about the study tours to Ilvermorny and Hogwarts in the United States."

Under the astonished gazes of Lani and Marenia, Latan leaned over and kissed Cassandra on the forehead, and said to the little work whose eyes widened in surprise: "Thank you for your hard work."

Cassandra blushed, a rare occurrence. She hesitated and said, "You're welcome."

Minamoto Kiyotaka smiled like a kind auntie.

Dante whistled in a very Sicilian way.

Colin said excitedly: "You are worthy of being the big brother! You easily did what we couldn't do!"

Princess Xingyue and the Valkyrie turned their heads away at the same time with dark faces: "Tsk!"

"What are you talking about? I am the lion's mate." Cassandra hugged Latan's arm, covering half of her face, "Neither of you are."

Ratan seemed to see a tail shaking like a propeller behind Cassandra. He opened the note written by Dumbledore. As soon as the cursive handwriting with circles within circles came into his sight, General Starbreaker's face suddenly changed.

"what?!"

At the end of school on the afternoon of November 11, Latan kicked open the door of the principal's office.

Dumbledore, who was behind the desk, swiftly dodged the flying door panel with his body enhanced by the Mad Dragon virus, and added the thirteenth sugar cube to the teacup in his hand with a smile: "It seems that you received my note."

Bending over and squeezing into the office, Latan threw the note over with a deadpan expression. The soft parchment stabbed into the desk like a knife, still making a buzzing sound, showing his exquisite control of strength. "Do you really have to do something as cliché as the school-level magic duel league?"

Dumbledore was not annoyed, and smiled as he said, "Latan, you have never lived in the wizarding world, so you naturally don't understand the competitive mentality that erupts when wizards who usually live in different places get together. Although I have persuaded the Magical Congress to let them accept Hogwarts taking root in the United States, Ilvermorny is determined to give us outsiders a head start. If we don't convince them, how can Hogwarts naturally receive Ilvermorny's resources?"

Latan had a blank expression on his face: "Is this why you let me fight those underage brats?"

"No, whether you play or not depends on whether Ilvermorny will play tricks." Dumbledore shook his index finger. "You are an insurance, the ultimate deterrent, and a dam to stop the collapse. I am also afraid that Ilvermorny will be invaded by time travelers like Hogwarts before. Otherwise, how can their little wizards beat my students? By the way, how are the time travelers in our school now?"

"My Grey Knights take good care of them in the punishment camp. They can eat fist-sized potatoes and potato-sized fists every day." Latarn said lightly, "When will Ilvermorny come?"

Dumbledore pointed to the calendar on the table. "The 20th of next month, Sunday. Ilvermorny said they need some time to prepare, and then our two schools - including Cassel College, there will be three of us - will celebrate Christmas together."
