Tom took a half step back, and the small portal on the door disappeared.The next second the door was opened from the inside, Stephen strode out the door and bumped into Tom firmly.

He didn't seem to have thought that Tom didn't run away at all, and Tom's eyes stared at this bump: "Whatthefuck—what the hell are you doing?"

Tom rubbed his forehead, "Can you raise the chain of the Eye of Agamotto so that it doesn't face my forehead?"

"That's because you are too short." Stephen stared at him suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"

"I wonder what the upright Doctor Shi Chuanqi is doing secretly." Tom replied innocently.

Stephen: "..."

He rolled his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and said, "I use the Eye of Agamotto to see your past and future, but I can't see anything."

Tom's eyes widened: "What? Why do you want to see my past and future? You are too suspicious. I have only passed 11 years. What do you want to see? See how I sucked when I was young. ?"

Stephen: "...Don't worry about why I want to see your experience, the question is why I can't see it."

"Maybe...you are not good at learning?" Tom replied sincerely.

Stephen wanted to give this kid some color.

Stephen rarely does this with the Eye of Agomotto—never, in fact, and he doesn't know what it means that he can't see Tom's past and future, but there must be something weird about the kid.

Stephen and Tom just looked at each other for a while, and the smell of dumplings came from downstairs, and Stephen said, "Okay, let's eat."

No matter who this boy is, whether there is any danger on his body, it is safest to keep him by his side and monitor him.

--------

"Respond quickly. If you can't resist me, although you won't be hurt, you will suffer."

The golden light between Stephen's hands formed a chain, which could attack any target as he wished, stretching or shortening, which was extremely convenient.

He raised an eyebrow at Tom, and decided to show Tom the mage's combat ability through close combat with magic.

Tom opened his hands and shook his chain, which was still a little unstable, and Stephen kindly waited until Tom's chain had stopped flickering completely before making a move.

With the sound of sparks, Stephen's chain slammed around Tom's right arm.Tom subconsciously stretched out his right arm to resist, and the chain wrapped around his arm twice in an instant. When Stephen pulled, Tom was pulled over, and his two faces were pressed together. Tom hooked his lips towards Stephen. .

In the next second, the nimble boy grabbed Stephen's waist for strength, kicked his legs hard on the ground, flipped his whole body backwards, wrapped his legs around Stephen's neck and pinched it vigorously, and Stephen felt that his Adam's apple was about to shatter.

Then Stephen's hands lost strength, the chains disappeared, and Tom jumped off Stephen's neck without even using his own weapon.

Stephen coughed twice: "Where did you learn this?"

Tom shrugged: "It's just flexible. They abducted and trafficked children, not raising them as treasures. I'm good at stealing things. These are all related things."

In fact, it was the melee fighting skills that Tom learned from Diana on Paradise Island. Stephen learned fighting from Modu, but he hasn't practiced long enough, and he is relatively old. His skills are not as good as the two years of concentrating on learning fighting. Tom.

Not only is he quick to learn magic, but he is also so agile. What's going on with this kid?Hang up?

Stephen, who has been a genius since he was a child, felt uncomfortable and regretful at the same time. If Tom was really an ordinary boy, he might be able to train him to be the next generation of Supreme Mage or something... No, no, no, isn’t it cursing himself to death? ?Stephen shook his head, dismissed the idea, and decided to observe Tom for a while.

Stephen asked Tom to stay for training by himself. After practicing for a while, Tom mastered the use of this weapon, and then opened a small fist-sized door with a hanging ring. This time, he was peeping into Warden Wang's library.

With headphones in his ears, Wang concentrated on flipping through the ancient books in front of him.During this time, Tom also learned a lot of Sanskrit. At a glance, he was speaking the incantations of the mage.

The portals and chains used as weapons that Tom learned before do not require spells, which are very different from the magic in the wizarding world.

"I don't know which category Stephen's spells belong to. There are so many spells, where do I have to find them?" Tom said to himself, adjusting the direction of the portal. He had only entered this library once and borrowed it. A Sanskrit dictionary, and then chewed on the book Stephen had given him.That book is full of obscure principles and histories, and there are not many places involving magic.

Tom noticed the word "spell" on the title of a book, so he stretched out his hand to take the book away, but he was caught by the king as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Wang glared at Tom through the small hole and asked, "Did you learn this from Stephen?"

Tom was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again: "He said it would save a few steps."

Wang Bai glanced at him, looked at the book Tom was pointing to, and asked, "Are you interested in spells?"

Tom nodded.

Wang took down the book, handed it to him, and threatened: "If you break it, you will be cleaned up."

Tom flipped through the book roughly, and the Sanskrit in it was not difficult to understand, but the spells didn't seem to be the ones used by Stephen, which could protect the Eye of Agamotto from being touched by outsiders.

"I feel like a philanthropist, helping stones find their brothers." Tom finished flipping through the book, put the book aside, and collapsed on the bed.

After a few days, Tom found that the food Wang bought was getting cheaper and cheaper.

The prices in New York are not low. When Tom first came here, he could often see steaks on the dining table, but recently, the dishes on the table are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the leaves of the vegetables are all limp, as if they were picked from the vegetable market. back.

"Aren't we out of money?" Tom solemnly picked out the leaf with worm eyes from a pile of purple cabbage leaves. Wang hurriedly saved the leaf with worm eyes before Tom threw it into the trash can. Tear off the bug eyes and put them back in Tom's vegetable basket.

Tom: "...Are we so poor that we have to save even a rotten vegetable leaf?"

Wang replied embarrassingly: "Look, neither Stephen nor I have a job, and we can still have two more months of food money before you come, but you eat too much."

Tom couldn't believe it: "I eat too much? I'm the smallest of us!"

"But your food intake is twice that of Stephen's." Wang solemnly stretched out two fingers, "And you like meat and sweets the most, and these are very expensive."

Tom was silent for a moment. Since he was claimed by Tony, he has never been short of money. He suddenly became a poor man who saves even the leaves of vegetables, and he couldn't change his role for a while.

"Then where did you get your money?"

"There were not so few people in the temple before, we can easily reach any place, so we—"

"Are you stealing?" Tom asked with interest.

"No, no, we are self-sufficient by farming and raising pigs."

Tom: "...are you primitive?"

"We are not, we still have wifi." Wang Zhengse said.

No matter how they lived in the past, no money is no money now. These two mages are still very principled. They are unwilling to get food from the store at any time.

"We can't just starve to death like this, and Stephen doesn't want to use the Eye of Agamotto all the time." Tom pondered while chopping vegetables. In fact, Stephen used the time gem at most once a day, and he didn't like it very much in front of Tom recently. I am willing to use it, even if it is to restore an apple and eat it again, "Do we need to start worrying about making money now? Wang, what skills do you have, such as... Are you Chinese? Eighteen palms of the dragon? Broken boulders in the chest?"

Wang: "...Do you still think that Chinese people travel by horse-drawn carriage?"

"I surf the Internet, and I care about the safety of the earth." Tom said solemnly, "Why don't you go entertaining? I can pretend to be disabled and pitiful next to you."

"Don't be ashamed, the guardian of the temple is going to perform. If Gu Yi knows about it, he will lift the coffin and crush the three of us to death." Wang Fue said, "But Stephen was a surgeon before he came here. Very rich."

"Then he must have savings, right? Just give us some money to last us for two months."

"But he went bankrupt in order to heal his hand, and finally bought a plane ticket to Nepal with the only money he had left, and learned magic from the previous supreme mage Gu Yi, trying to heal his hand with magic, so now, he is a pauper. "

Tom thought of Stephen's often trembling hands, and couldn't help becoming curious.

"He suffered a serious hand injury in a car accident. Dozens of steel nails were pierced into his hand in order to heal it. However, his hand injury was so serious that he had to do many daily things, let alone precision surgery. Can’t do it.” The king sighed, “Magic can heal his hands, but if he wants to heal his hands, he can no longer use magic. Stephen took on the task of guarding the Eye of Agamotto and became the new supreme mage. He gave up the hand that healed him, and stayed here to guard the temple."

"If his hand can be cured, can he make a lot of money by doing a few operations?" Tom thought.

"You mean a part-time private doctor?? It sounds like it is feasible, but his hand and magic can only be one of the two."

Not necessarily, Tom said in his mind.
