Chapter 369 I Want to Know How Many Wives My Father Will Have in the Future?
"Then did you find him?"
McBee asked him curiously: "I mean, has this master of divination helped you figure out the whereabouts of your father."
"No."
"Then it seems that her calculation is not accurate."
Zatanna's expression was a little unnatural, "Anyway, I think I can give it a try."
"I'll go with you tomorrow, Xiao Zha."
Peter said to Zatanna from the side: "Let's go visit this master of divination together."
He had heard of the name of Madam Xanadu in his previous life.
Although there are some nagging words, as a member of the Justice League Dark led by Diana, he should be no ordinary magician.
After dinner.
Loki went upstairs to his room.
Just as he was about to rest, Star-Lord knocked on the door outside.
"Button! Button! Button!"
"Loki, are you there?"
"Are you so interested in knocking on my door tonight?"
Loki opened the door, "What do you want to talk to me about, Star-Lord, which rock band, or the failure of America's new aerospace moon landing experiment?"
"No, it's about Zatanna."
Star-Lord came in and said to him: "I have something about her that I need to talk to you about."
"Zatanna?"
Loki looked at him slightly surprised.
"Dad said you learned magic from her when you were a child. What, what do you think of your teacher?"
When Loki was eating just now, he heard Peter talk about Star-Lord learning magic from Zatanna.
"No, I don't have anything against Zatanna."
Star-Lord sat down on Loki's bed and pushed him down slightly.
Seeing that his bed might be destroyed by Star-Lord at any time, Loki frowned slightly.
"You should lose weight."
"What?"
"I said you can eat one less burger per meal from now on."
"You think I'm fat?"
Star-Lord looked at him in disbelief, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course, it's strong."
Star-Lord considers his body type to be strong rather than fat.
"Do you know how many rebels and superheroes I have dealt with in the unjust world? Killer Frost, Solomon Grandy, I defeated these all."
Star-Lord puffed up his chest and lowered his voice to Loki: "I incarnate fear to cleanse those people of their sins."
Loki was stunned for a second when he saw Star-Lord starting to imitate Batman's words again.
He didn't want to continue talking about useless things with the other party.
After all, Star-Lord is a guy who doesn't hesitate to do anything.
"Okay, we can talk about whether you are strong or fat some time, but right now, what do you want to tell me about Zatanna?"
"Actually, I saw a piece of news before."
When talking about business, Star-Lord's expression became serious.
"What news."
"News about Zatanna's show."
Star-Lord told Loki the recent news he had seen about Zatanna.
Zatanna previously held a magic show in Gotham.
The Gotham Mint provided $10 million as a magic prop.
As a result, Zatanna made all these changes disappear during the magic show.
Although Zatanna later claimed she had no idea what happened, someone must have tampered with the show.
But as a direct suspect in the disappearance of $10 million, Zatanna still accepted police investigation.
Later, because there was no definite evidence, Zatanna was released from the police station on bail.
——
"In other words, is it possible that Zatanna lost the ten million yuan secretly?"
After listening to Star-Lord's story, Loki frowned and asked.
"Yes, but it's just a possibility."
Star-Lord shrugged his shoulders and stood up from Loki's bed, "But I believe Zatanna is not such a person. There must have been some misunderstanding."
"That's not necessarily the case. People change."
Loki shook his head and said to him: "You don't know, Star-Lord, Dad said that people will change. The oaths in people's mouths are only limited to the fervor of the time. They have always and will always be just words to cheer up."
"Then should we tell Dad?"
Star-Lord asked him.
"Wait a minute."
Loki looked out the window, "It won't be too late to tell dad when we figure out what happened."
The next day.
London, UK.
Zatanna used her teleportation magic to open a portal from Padric's Farm to London.
Peter held Raven (Riven strongly asked Peter to bring her to London), Zola, Wonder Woman, and Zatanna came to the streets of London from the portal.
Several people stood on the foggy street, and the cold January air bit their cheeks.
The dim street lights cast a strange yellow color on the seemingly non-existent gray in the city.
The winter mist drifting from the water in the distance enveloped the damp earth.
"It is indeed a foggy city. We were lucky. We encountered heavy fog when we first arrived."
Zola complained to several people: "But the fog here is indeed different from other places. This thing makes me breathless like the villains in Limehouse."
"If you live in this city for a few years, you get used to it."
Zatanna said as she led everyone towards where Mrs. Shangdu was.
Zola expressed no interest in living here, "I don't want to live here, I'd rather live on Peter's farm."
"Thank you. It seems that my farm's status in your heart should be higher than that of London."
Peter said to Zola.
Several people were talking and came to a remote alley. Zatanna led everyone to the ordinary-looking mansion.
The sign on the door reads "Welcome, don't be afraid."
"She locked the door. I remember Mrs. Xanadu couldn't lock the door before."
With that said, Zatanna walked up and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"It's me, Zatanna, Lady Xanadu."
"Zatanna, your own troubles haven't been solved yet, why are you bringing others here to ask for help?"
A female voice came from the door and asked Zatanna.
Zatanna glanced at Peter awkwardly.
"My matters are not important. I am here for other matters and want to ask for your help, Madam Xanadu."
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open, and a woman with long black hair and a strange mark carved on her head appeared in front of everyone.
"You are like your father, Zatanna, always chased by trouble but never worried."
After sizing up everyone, Mrs. Xanadu asked Peter and his party to come in.
Mrs. Xanadu's room smelled of incense and was decorated in an antique style.
Just after taking two steps, she glanced at Peter and asked, "You are Peter Padraic, right?"
"You know me?"
Peter asked her in surprise.
"No, but I've heard about you, and your children, from some people in the wizarding world."
She looked towards Raven in Peter's arms.
"Powerful, evil and pure, two incredible powers come together, it's really amazing!"
Madam Xanadu seemed to be interested in Raven and asked Peter, "Is she your daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Raven."
"Riven."
Madam Xanadu reached out to Raven and touched her cheek gently.
Although Ruiwen was a little reluctant, for the sake of her father asking for help from the other party, she did not resist in the end and allowed the other party to touch her face.
"Can you really tell fortunes?"
When the other person's hand left her face, Raven asked the other person curiously.
Madam Xanadu was stunned for a moment when she heard Ruiwen speak.
"certainly."
"Does it run in your family?"
"It's a bit of a family connection, but it's a long story."
Madam Xanadu removed her finger from Raven's face and said, "My grandmother was a witch. When she was a little girl picking cranberries from the swamp, she had incredible abilities. She always You can see things that ordinary people can’t see and feel things that ordinary people can’t feel.”
"However, my grandmother's ability was not something she was born with, but was acquired through the process of observing and learning about the world around her."
Mrs. Xanadu paused and said to the curious Raven: "In our world, natural things and the breath of nature can always allow us to see what is about to happen."
“My grandmother once taught me that by crushing cranberries in the palm of our hands, we can predict the weather through their crumbs; just by putting our hands on the bark of a tree, we can know what birds are living in that tree. Breaking a rabbit's neck reveals the incredible hiding places of other rabbits, and the world is full of magic."
"So. Is this magic?"
Raven asked her hesitantly.
"Yes and no, child."
Mrs. Xanadu turned around and walked towards the living room.
"Magic is full of fantastic ideas and teaches us how to make the impossible possible. My grandmother didn't change anything. She just saw the possibilities and the impossible."
"The world has its own strange way of balance. Magic cannot change the entire world. Therefore, as people in the magical community, we must not rely too much on it."
As she spoke, she led Peter and others into a more mysterious room.
"Are you right? Raven."
Faced with Madam Xanadu's question, Raven was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know."
"There will be a lot of knowledge you need to learn in the future, and there is no need to understand it now."
"Sit down."
Mrs. Xanadu asked Peter and others to sit down at a table covered with tablecloth.
Raven, who was held in Peter's arms, saw that the other person seemed really powerful, so she curiously asked her: "Madam, can I ask you a question?"
"sure."
Lady Xanadu turned to face Peter and Raven.
"What do you want to ask, kid."
"I want to know, how many wives will dad have in the future?"
Peter: "."
Peter, who was stunned for two seconds, looked at Raven in his arms in shock.
You little cotton-padded jacket, are you concerned about your father’s life-long events at such a young age? !
Also, is this kind of question allowed to be asked in front of so many people?
If you want to ask, of course you should ask in private.
Peter, who had black lines all over his head, reached out and pinched Raven's face.
Are there any cheaters like you?
Several people present were also stunned by Ruiwen's question.
Wonder Woman has a strange expression, with a curious and inquisitive look.
Zatanna was slightly embarrassed.
Zola, on the other hand, had the look of a crowd eating melon.
"Ahem, Ruiwen, your question is wrong. In fact, one wife is enough."
Peter said to the women against his will.
Mrs. Xanadu was stunned for a moment, took out a deck of tarot cards, took out a few cards and placed them on the table, and asked Peter to turn over two cards.
Peter hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward to turn over a tarot card.
He was also very curious to know the answer.
As a result, the card he turned over was a lover's card.
Then he continued to turn over and found a tarot card of the Hanged Man.
"Well, things are a bit complicated, about Peter Padrick, your wife."
Mrs. Xanadu looked at the two cards on the table and said to Peter: "But I can tell you now that your wife, there is one on the scene."
