Vol 2 Chapter 7: Magneto comes

Magneto King Eric Lansel couldn't believe it was true when he learned of Charles's death. He rushed to Xavier Genius School in New York State as quickly as possible.
When he walked into the mourning hall and saw the familiar person lying quietly in the coffin, Eric had mixed feelings for a while and stood blankly.
As an old man, Eric knew that he and Charles would have such a day, and that day would not come too late. When he felt that his energy was low and his physical strength was declining, he seemed to hear the footsteps of death approaching.
He had imagined that his death scene must be a heroic death under the siege of countless powerful enemies in a fierce war.
He once laughed at Charles, saying that a naive pacifist like him would definitely die on the hospital bed. He never thought of it as a proverb. The man who had been entangled with him for a whole life, actually died silently by the bedside, leaving him alone. People stay in this malicious world everywhere.
Magneto walked over slowly, came to the old friend's coffin, and stretched out his hand to press the old friend's cheek.
Cold, dry, stiff, inelastic...
Tears blurred his vision, and fragments flashed before his eyes, remembering that they had lie on the hillside of Xavier Manor when they were young and talking about their ambitions, remembering that they had disputes because of disagreements, remembering that they turned against each other during the Cuban missile crisis, and remembered. The Mutant Brotherhood and the X-Men have fought back and forth.
The past is dusty, and I can hardly look back.
Magneto Wang Lao burst into tears, and a deep sense of loneliness enveloped him, as if there were no relatives and no one who understood him in this world.
The witch Ruiwen had long been crying, leaning on the coffin and murmured Charles' name.
The old Magneto was overwhelmed with grief and could no longer support it. His body shook slightly. At this time, a hand stretched out, wrapped around his waist, and supported him.
"Eric, take care of yourself and don't be too sad."
The melodious voice of the girl rang in his ears, and Magneto was in a daze, as if he had heard his old friend Charles comforting him.
He turned his head quickly and saw that he was supporting him by a well-behaved, quiet and lovely girl.
The girl smiled, and a healing power radiated from her smile, which calmed the sorrow and loneliness in Magneto's heart.
For an instant, Magneto only felt that his heart was throbbing. He has long lost this feeling. It has been decades since Magda Eisenhardt left him, and he thought his heart was dead and ashes. .
He never expected that his already old man would be moved by a young and beautiful girl.
There was also a sense of familiarity in this kind of heart throbbing. When I saw her, I felt very kind, as if the girl in front of him had been entangled with his previous life, but she was destined in this life.
Is this love at first sight?
Magneto's heart was filled with sadness and tingling melancholy.
He is about to die, and she is underage...
For some reason, a Chinese poem that I had read flashed in my mind: "I am born without being a king, and if a king is born, I am old, turn the butterfly to find flowers, and live in the grass every night."
Hate not to meet when I was young!
What kind of helplessness is this!
Thousands of tastes and sorrows all turned into a sigh.
Ugh……
Upon closer inspection, the girl's eyebrows resembled Charles when she was young, and Magneto suddenly realized why she felt so close at first sight.
If you look closely, the girl's temperament is no different from that of an old friend, and she is like a mold carved out of him. The calm and peaceful manner, like the look and feel of the spring breeze, is no wonder that it feels so familiar.
She must be Charles's orphan, right?
Magneto is a serious and cold person, even within the Brotherhood of Mutants, many members are somewhat afraid of him.
Especially the look of his straight face is enough to make the person facing him feel like an ice cellar, and the chill is pressing.
Magneto couldn't hold her face for such a lovely girl. He smiled, showing a kind and loving smile very rarely.
I'm afraid that his own son, Kuaiyin, and daughter, Red Witch, have never seen such a gentle Magneto.
"Thank you." Magneto Wang said softly: "Little girl, what is your name?"
"check……"
The sweet girl awkwardly forced herself to change her mouth: "Elizabeth...Elizabeth Xavier."
"Who are you Charles?"
"He is my distant uncle."
"Oh……"
Magneto nodded slowly. He judged that an old friend probably lied to her. This girl must be Charles' illegitimate daughter, otherwise it would not be so similar.
The white-haired old man fondly touched the girl's hair. It turned out that she was Charles's daughter. This made him no longer feel that there were no relatives in the world, and the desperate loneliness slowly dissipated.
"Your uncle is a good friend of mine. He is a good man. I wanted to come up to the stage and say a few words after the condolence ceremony began, but when I saw you, I felt unnecessary. The feeling you gave me was like a granddaughter. ."
In a western-style funeral, the key link is that the deceased’s relatives and friends from the past come to the stage to tell the story of his life, in order to cherish his memory.
When the girl heard this, she had a pretty face, and said displeased: "I am not like your granddaughter! Even if Charles is my uncle, you can't say that!"
Magneto was taken aback by the girl who was suddenly angry, and helplessly pushed his hand to comfort her: "Okay, okay, when I didn't say it."
He sighed, and then asked, "Are you a mutant?"
The girl nodded.
Magneto persuaded her seriously: "Then go with me. This school has lost Charles' asylum and will be destroyed sooner or later. It is too dangerous for you to stay here."
"No, Eric, the Xavier Genius School will not be destroyed."
The girl Su Rong also said earnestly: "The second-generation X-Men will carry my...uncle's banner. They will eventually grow up and take on their own."
Magneto was also secretly surprised by the powerful aura that the girl exudes, and he even ignored the slight disrespect in her title.
Lao Wan admired in his heart, he is really a tiger father without a dog girl!
The more Magneto looked at her, the more she appreciated and loved. He really wanted to bring her around and train her to take her class and become the next leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
But he didn't want to force her, he couldn't bear to force her, just like a grandfather who was obedient to his granddaughter, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"As stubborn as your father...uncle!"
Magneto sighed and stopped insisting. He had already made a decision in his heart. Once the government starts the mutant school, he will come right away. Even if he cannot withstand the fierce military offensive, he will save her life.
Magneto slowly took off his mental defense helmet, which he had worn for almost a lifetime, just because that old friend was still alive.
Now that the old friend has passed away, there is no need to wear this helmet.
Putting the helmet in Charles's coffin, it is a dying gift he gave him. Magneto believes that he will go with him soon, so let this helmet accompany him for a journey.
Putting down the helmet, Magneto bid farewell to the girl who called herself Elizabeth, and turned reluctantly to lead the members of the Brotherhood of Mutants to leave.
"Please stay, Mr. Lansel."
He was stopped, and an Asian young man came over.
When he came to him, the Asian youth smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Luo Feng, the director of SHIELD."
Magneto's face suddenly became gloomy, and the government's minion probe appeared blatantly at Charles's funeral, and dared to greet him so far from outside.
If it wasn't for the blood of the girl Elizabeth next to him, Eric wished he could not control the metal into a blade and cut this arrogant, arrogant and unbelievable young man into his body on the spot.
