The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Master Katz, long time no see.

A slightly deep and pleasant female voice echoed in the hut, Kaz narrowed his eyes, his old face was full of grooves, and he slowly spit out the name of the other party: Scarlet Queen Mary, what did you come to me for?

I didn't come to look for you. The woman called Scarlet Queen Mary was wearing a deep red silk dress with dark rose patterns, and her red eyes shone slightly in the dim room.

Andrew Bennett, my ex-husband, now a traitor of the Blood Race, I heard that he was sleeping in the Cemetery of All Souls, but I didn't feel his breath, where did you hide him?

I haven't heard of Bennett. Kaz took a step back cautiously and said, Mary, do you want to break the contract between the vampires and the mages?

The Mozong has never agreed to any contract. Mary raised her eyebrows and said, Tell me where he is, and I'll let you go.

Katz's face suddenly turned cold, he clenched the scalpel in his hand, and the power belonging to the Skeleton Monarch circulated between his fingers.

Since I was promoted to an archmage, no one has dared to be so rude to me, you blood-sucking bugs, get out of my place!

Accompanied by deep roars, countless ghosts wailed, and the corpses and bones on the dissecting table flew into the air, forming a flesh and blood puppet. The puppet raised its huge fist and threw it at Mary.

Mary unhurriedly scattered into bats and flew to the beams of the roof, her icy voice came from above.

Katz, I advise you not to be ignorant of good and evil. The Demon Sect has already gained unimaginable power. We followed the prophecy of our ancestors to wipe out the traitors. If you want to stop me, you must pay a hundred times the price for it.

Arrogant woman, block my pet first.

The puppet stretched out its arms and grabbed Mary in mid-air, but at this time several other blood races broke in, and Mary sternly said to them: Catch Katz! You can freely enjoy the blood of an archmage!

A bright red light began to emerge from the eyes of several vampires, and a strange but extremely powerful power wave emanated from them,

In an instant, the bloody roar was more terrifying than the ghost's call, and the puppet made of flesh and blood was torn to pieces in a single encounter.

Scarlet Queen Mary landed slowly, and the shadow of the spread bat wings enveloped the whole room, covering the firelight of the fireplace, and Katz's terrified screams came.

With a swish, the blood mixed with the power of the undead outlined bloody red traces on the window, and then gradually turned into turbid black.

Red Robin withdrew his gaze from the window, he turned his head, and several other people in the room looked at him, Red Robin cleared his throat and said.

Kaz summoned a huge monster, which should be pieced together from corpse fragments and bones, but the few people who broke in later also turned into monsters, and they tore Katz's summoned object into pieces.

The woman in the lead slashed Katz's cheek with her claws, causing his blood to splash on the window. Katz lost his strength almost instantly, was subdued and taken away without resistance.

Constantine didn't ask Red Robin how he could tell, he just stared at the flames of the fireplace, and said in a low tone: No, Scarlet Queen Mary doesn't have such power, she can't be in such a short time Defeat an Archmage.

Bennett, who was standing by the door, shrugged his nose and said, But I'm sure it's her. I smell her blood.

What about those people who came in later? Red Robin looked at Bennett and asked, Are they also vampires? Do you know them?

Is it important?

Of course, if my deduction is correct, they were still in human form when they came in, but they quickly turned into monsters at least three times their weight. If this is the special ability of your blood race, then I didn't say it.

Absolutely not. Bennett said with certainty: Monster transformation is a skill unique to werewolves. Although the vampires can transform into bats, that is not an attack method, and it is impossible to leave footprints of monsters.

If the woman you have dealt with before is not so powerful, then the problem must be her subordinates.

The blood-red moon has long been out of the question. Constantine frowned and said, Then the only possibility is the demon sect of the blood race.

At this moment, the crushed puppet fragments scattered on the ground suddenly gathered together again under the control of a dark green filthy energy. Night Master Jim pulled out the night blade with extreme vigilance, staring at the undead puppet that appeared out of thin air .

I am the undead monarch of the Valley of Decay, Constantine, I lost contact with my agent, where did you get him?

Constantine saw a green phantom attached to the body of the flesh and blood puppet, and the will-o'-the-wisp danced regularly in the puppet's eye sockets, and the face of the skeleton monarch was faintly visible.

The Scarlet Queen Mary took him away.

Then go and find him, Konstantin, you owe me that.

I don't owe anyone any more. Constantine said coldly, I'm sorry about your daughter, but I won't work for any devil anymore.

My power and that of Kaz have been cut off, but his soul cannot be taken away by anything else, go find him and I will pay you.

Constantine sighed, turned his head to look at Jim and said, I'm afraid we have to promise him that if Katz dies at the hands of Mary, the wizarding world and the blood race will go to war again.

Jim clenched Nightblade's hand tightly, and he looked at the Skeleton Monarch and said, We'll do this, we don't want your reward, but after that you'll take Katz's soul, because he took his apprentice Bian Ka - an innocent young man whose soul was sold to the devil.

as you wish.

After the power of the Skeleton King dissipated, the puppets scattered again, and Constantine picked up the lantern on the table again, and said: If the devil of Katz's contract can't find his place, then maybe only one person can feel it. His strength.

You mean 'dead man'? Jim spit out a title.

Constantine nodded and said: Boston should be living in seclusion in the valley east of Greenwich now. We have to find him, and then use his sensitivity to the power of death to find Katz.

Both Bennett and Jim nodded, and they were about to turn and walk out when Constantine turned to Red Robin and said, You have to come with us, because you're the best detective I can find .”

Just as Red Robin was about to speak, Constantine interrupted him and said, The fists and kicks you learned from Batman are useless in the magic world. According to my rich experience, what we are going to deal with next may not even be able to be attacked at all. Contacting and facing them, you don't even have the most basic ability to protect yourself.

Red Robin wanted to retort a little resentfully, but Constantine came over and said to him: Although I can't use magic now, I can use my experience to help you choose the perfect contract partner and make a contract. You Will make a good mage.

Red Robin opened his mouth wide, and he said instinctively, But Batman won't let us...

Batman, Batman, Batman, are you still not weaned? Constantine prodded him deliberately.

But Red Robin was not fooled, he snorted coldly and said: I'm not Red Hood, this trick is useless to me, Batman must have his reason for not letting us touch magic, let alone the magician I have seen It's all miserable.

Whether you want to try to master a power is up to you. Constantine picked up the lantern and walked out the door. He took one last look at Tim and said, You are not a cursed person like me, and It’s not that there is no choice. After stepping into this river, some people will become boats that go along with the water, and some people will become rocks that sink to the bottom. What you are can only be determined by yourself.”

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and walked out of Katz's gravekeeper's hut with a lantern in his hand. Red Robin clenched his fists tightly, but then released them after a while. He picked up his cloak and walked out the door, seeing Constantine standing Add kerosene to the lantern by the window sill.

Do you think of yourself as a ship or a rock? asked Red Robin.

Most mages are sinking boats. When they were young, they sailed unimpeded along the wind of the torrent. One day they broke down and sank into the sand. But I was fished out before I was completely washed away by the ocean current.

The movement of Constantine's hands paused, he pressed the handle of the lantern, and continued: Even if it is repaired as new as new, the ship will not be able to go ashore. It can only sail like this for a lifetime, until one day it will be caught in a storm again. Among them, it was destroyed again.

Then you still want me to learn magic?

I've said it all, it's up to you. No one can hold your head down to sign a contract, not even the devil. Constantine sighed, and he walked up to Red Robin with a lantern in his hand. Say, You're different from the other two kids, and what makes you special is that everyone else wants to be Batman's lamb, but you want to be his savior.

Because I resemble him the most. Red Robin walked down two steps, his boots on the wet soil, and he looked Constantine in the eye and said, I hope that if one day Batman sinks in a storm, , I have the power to pick him up, just like your friend picked you up.

When I said that I would teach you magic, the excitement in your eyes couldn't be hidden at all. For power, you have much greater ambitions than your companions. Constantine pointed out very sharply: Even more powerful than you. Batman's bigger ambitions.

Because I want to save him, not just to help him, but to save him completely.

Then magic will be your way. Constantine turned his head to look at the muddy path in All Souls Cemetery and the gray skyline with dark clouds, and said, Magic may be dangerous, but it is controllable. That is why I invite you to learn it, your wisdom allows you to use this power almost perfectly through learning.

And other things... Constantine lowered his eyes and said, If you maintain this ambition and greed for power, then sooner or later, they will find you like hyenas following the smell of blood. Will bewitch you, use you, until it drives you completely crazy.

So what kind of magic are you going to teach me?

Do you know what the essence of magic is?

... in debt?

Half right, the essence of magic is to never pay your debts.

With the figures of several people disappearing into the forest at the end of the path in Wanling Cemetery, in the shadows at the corner of the gravekeeper's hut, an angry and unwilling growl came from an inconspicuous box.

The light of thunder streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark room for a moment, and the dark reflection of black diamonds flashed through the cracks of the box.
