Chapter 65
Ada ended up not leaving the bottle of potion, she wasn't sure what Ethan wanted.
Anyway, Ethan will stay in this world for quite a long time, and she has enough time to figure out Ethan's true intentions and then make the most advantageous choice.
The winter in the town was very peaceful, and Ethan lived a very peaceful life here. Since all the experiments needed to be done, he no longer had to stay in the mirror space all day and began to appear more in front of everyone.
Whether it was Annette Birkin or Shirley Birkin, she had a cold attitude towards him before. The only thing Annette worried about now was Ethan's refusal to fulfill her previous promise. If she could not leave this world smoothly and start a new life in another world, she could not imagine what she would encounter in this world.
In order to avoid this situation, after Ethan began to stay outside more, Annette would find time to approach Ethan, as if using this method to remind him not to forget his promise.
Ethan could guess her idea, and Ethan didn't like this way of testing back and forth at all, so when Annette was deliberately swaying in front of him again, he called the woman and invited her to sit down and chat.
"We can discuss your future." He looked at Shirley who was brought by Annette: "It also includes your daughter's future."
Annette seemed a little worried when she heard Ethan say this. She was afraid that Ethan said she was not going to take them away. Fortunately, Ethan saved her from this trouble as soon as she spoke.
"It's okay to take you out of here, but I want to explain some of the situation to you first."
Annie nodded. No matter what, as long as Ethan is willing to take them away, she can listen to the specific situation first and then consider how to deal with it.
Ethan briefly introduced the world he lived in. Of course, the details were not revealed. He only briefly introduced that it was a world full of sea water, with very little land, and he and some of his friends lived on the same boat.
After leaving this world, Annette will first go to the boat where he lives, and then he can take her to other worlds.
Although Annette was a little surprised, he didn't think anything strange. The world full of sea water was not strange. It was just that the area of the ocean was far greater than that of land. The earth actually occupied a larger area. Just from Ethan's meaning, the situation in his world was even more extreme.
Ethan didn't explain what that world looked like, and Annette just regarded it as an ordinary planet.
"Since I can't be sure what the world I go to every time, you may have to stay on the boat for a while until you encounter the right world before you can send you over... Of course, you can also travel with me every time I travel, and if you encounter the right world, you can stay directly."
After Ethan let Annette understand the situation, the woman would not annoy him and he could also enjoy this peaceful time.
"So that's how it is."
Annette didn't know what to choose for a moment, and Ethan clearly told her that it was very likely to go to a parallel earth when traveling. Maybe the age was a little different, but relatively closer environment made it easier for her to integrate into it.
"If there is no accident, I will soon go to a parallel universe."
He had already decided that after he went back this time, he would first complete the matter that Charles had entrusted him.
After figuring out that his shuttle was not completely random, he knew that he had the ability to go to another world where Charles existed.
But at that time he was a little worried about his strength, so he didn't set off. This time he gained a good harvest in the world of Resident Evil. After these potions were used, his strength would be further increased. Whether it was mental, magic or physical fitness, he should also fulfill his promise in this state.
So the world he will go to next will definitely be the earth. Considering the era in which Charles lived, it is possible within a hundred years from the time of World War II.
Although there are a hundred years of errors before and after, the overall environment is quite close to the biochemical world in 1998. Even if you are a little uncomfortable, you can overcome it quickly, which is very suitable for Anne's specific residence.
But Ethan didn't really want to arrange Annette to that world, because there were mutants everywhere - he was not worried about what these mutants did to Annette. What he was worried about was that Annette, a biological scientist, had some thoughts about the group of mutants. If he accidentally created some virus in that world, he would put the mutants into a new disaster...
"Or throw it into Marvel World?"
The Marvel World is a world that has been locked by itself. He can go there at any time, but Ethan has already used it as his rear base. Will it cause trouble to arrange Annette in the past?
"It doesn't seem to have any effect."
Compared to the X-Men world, the Marvel world has a higher inclusion, because even without Annette, there is no shortage of high-tech talents to cause trouble. Moreover, compared with the X-Men, the Marvel Universe has more people solving problems, and these superheroes are spread all over all walks of life and can deal with various troubles.
Annette fell into deep thought, Ethan talked about several choices, thinking about what decisions she should make.
Shirley, who had been sitting there quietly, suddenly felt bored and looked at Ethan with her big eyes.
"Can I learn magic with you?"
Ethan was stunned for a moment. He originally took out the book and wanted to read it, but he explained the situation clearly. Annette just wanted to tell himself after making a decision.
I didn't expect that Shirley, who didn't pay much attention to her some time ago, suddenly talked to her. This little girl seemed to be angry with her some time ago, because Ethan was acting like a big bad guy at that time?
But as a child, his temperament comes and goes quickly. After spending a while, Shirley also understood that Ethan seemed not a bad person, and had helped protect herself before. She was curious about magical things like magic, and finally couldn't help but talk.
"You want to learn magic?"
Shirley nodded, and seemed to be looking forward to it.
"That's how it is."
Ethan thought about it and was idle. He didn't seem to have anything to do every day except for taking medicine and practicing. He had at least dozens of days to block the mountain due to heavy snow. It was no big deal to teach Shirley during this period.
As for whether to learn or not, Ethan doesn't care at all. She can be considered talented if she learns, and she can pass the time if she doesn't learn or not.
Ethan stretched out his fingers, and the blue light flashed from his fingertips left traces of light in the air with his movements. It took less time. Ethan used his magic to build a pattern in the air. After finishing it, it clicked gently, and the pattern floated in front of Shirley, and then stopped where she could touch her hand.
This is a nine-grid puzzle. A large square lattice is divided into nine areas. Eight areas are separate small squares marked with numbers one to eight, but the positions are not arranged in normal order.
"Use your spirit to touch this puzzle and control the squares with numbers on it to move."
Of course Shirley knew how to play, but the one in front of her had no patterns but numbers, which looked a little rough, but the puzzle made entirely of magic was still magical enough. Shirley did not complain that Ethan had no artistic cells and did not even have a picture.
But when she reached out to the puzzle floated in front of her, no matter how she touched the blocks with her hands, the blocks had never moved - she felt that she had not touched anything at all.
"This is impossible to touch."
Shirley tried several times but failed, and her face was swollen with anger. She felt that Ethan was teasing herself.
"I said that you need to use your mental power to touch them. You can't move them with your hands alone."
Ethan originally wanted to use his mental power to move directly, but this seemed too unintuitive, because in the eyes of outsiders, the patterns moved by themselves.
There was no way, so he had to stretch out his fingers to cooperate with his mental power so that Shirley could understand what he meant.
"Inject your mental power into this puzzle to create a connection between your mental power and the puzzle so that you can touch and move the blocks in it."
Shirley continued to try, but the square in front of her still had not moved. However, after Ethan gave a few instructions, Shirley successfully established some spiritual connection with the puzzle. She felt that she had finally "touched" the puzzle, and as if she could not touch anything like before.
After two hours of attempt, Shirley finally made one of the squares move and moved a little to the empty grid.
This seemed to be the limit. At this time, Shirley seemed to be indifferent and completely disappeared from her previous lively appearance.
"Do I not learn magic?"
Shirley felt that she was so stupid. Ethan taught her for a long time, but she could only move the block a little bit, and no matter how she looked, she looked like she was not talented.
"You performed well, much better than I did."
Ethan didn't expect Shirley to be able to really move these puzzles. Perhaps compared with many magicians with great talent, her performance was only average; but compared with him, Shirley was much stronger.
Originally, I just wanted to kill time, but found that Shirley showed her talent and had the possibility of learning magic.
