The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the valley of Greenwich, Constantine and his party found the dark tomb where the dead Boston Brand lived in seclusion. Constantine squatted at the door of the wooden door of the cellar, grabbed the handle and knocked on the door. After a while, A pale hand stretched out from the grave.

Dead Boston leaned out half of his body, and when he saw Constantine's face, the door of the tomb slammed shut.

You're less popular than I thought, Red Robin commented.

I'm used to being rejected. Constantine curled his lips and didn't take it seriously. He continued to reach out and knock on the door while shouting: Boston, my old man, you have to open the door for us, or I will let you Jim hacked you up here!

Don't listen to him, I won't do that. Night Master Jim stepped forward, squatted halfway at the door and said, Mr. Inside.

A few seconds later, the door opened again. Boston stood in the passage and looked up. His eyes were emitting a faint blue light. He nodded and said in a dull voice, Come in.

Constantine jumped into the underground passage first, followed by Night Master Jim and Bennett who turned into a bat. Red Robin felt a little hesitant. He didn't think it was polite to jump into someone else's grave, but When he bit the bullet and jumped in, he realized that there was something wrong with it.

Passing through the long, narrow and dark underground tomb passage, inside is a well-equipped modern apartment, even with windows for lighting, but there are colorful space fragments floating outside the windows.

This is a gap in space. Constantine explained to Red Robin behind him in a low voice: Most of the wizard towers of archmages are in the gap in space, because only in this way can they live long enough, like Ka Like that idiot who found a cemetery to build a house in reality, he was beaten to death by the creditor who came to the door.

Red Robin nodded and took down this clue. Dead Boston invited them to sit on the sofa and poured them each a glass of water.

Red Robin carefully observed this strong man. His complexion was pale and bluish, and his body was muscular. Body temperature, really like a dead person.

What did you come to see me for? His demeanor and expression were very dull, completely lifeless and creepy.

Kaz was taken away. It may be done by the Demon Sect of the Blood Race, or it may be the Scarlet Queen Mary's own initiative. His contractor, the Skeleton King, can't contact him, so we hope you can trace his breath and bring him get back.

Is there any need? Dead Boston seemed uninterested. He sat on the single sofa next to the fireplace and said, When Katz was still an apprentice, he once pushed his classmate off the cliff and hid his body up and experimenting, while his old, blinded teacher thought he had found a gifted necromancer apprentice.

We all know he's a bad breed. Jim shook his head and said, But the meaning is different. He has been promoted to become an archmage. If he is taken away by a vampire and brutally killed, there will be another bloodbath in the wizarding world.

They came after me. Bennett said, John saved me again. He dug me out of the Cemetery of All Souls in advance, otherwise I would be the one who was taken away.

It's not that simple. Boston judged: If they want to press Katz about your whereabouts, they don't have to take him away.

Several people frowned, and Boston obviously knew more. He sighed slightly and said: You may think that undead magic is related to death, but on the contrary, the energy of undead magic is a kind of life energy, so it can make people feel alive. The lifeless skeleton stood up again.

This is also the reason why the undead kings in hell always live in seclusion and do not deal with demons. They have nothing to do with violence and destruction. What they have and continue to desire is vitality. The necromancers who have obtained their power They are the same.

Everyone knows that vampires get energy from human blood, but few people know how they get it, maybe not even themselves.

Bennett frowned slightly, and found that several people were looking at him. He shook his head slightly and said, It was just an accident that I became a vampire. I don't have a family inheritance, so I don't know anything about it.

Boston went on to say: The power Katz's contractor gave him is the power of life. He uses this power of life to bring the dead back to life. In the eyes of vampires, the power of life on Katz is an extremely precious ingredient. .”

Constantine narrowed his eyes slightly, but Red Robin seemed to think of something and said: Indeed, the woman who took Katz away behaved a bit strangely. She cut Katz's cheek at the end and let his blood splash To the window, but this is of no use except to leave more clues for the pursuers, unless...

Unless she wants to taste it in advance. Bennett continued: I know Mary. She is not a person who can resist the temptation of power. She tasted Katz's blood and decided to take him away.

The question is who does she want to take him to?

The room fell silent. Obviously, everyone has no answer. Now that there are not enough clues, no one is sure to deduce the truth.

So can you help us find him? Constantine asked, looking at Boston again.

I will try my best, but I have to remind you that if they are so rampant that they dare to suck the blood of an archmage, it proves that they are not afraid to start a war with the magic world.

The big deal is to fight the blood war again. Night Master Jim snorted coldly and said, How did we beat them back to their hometown back then, it will be the same this time.

Boston nodded and stood up, as if he wanted to get the spell-casting props, but at this time Constantine stopped him, he glanced at Red Robin, and said: I want to ask you for help, Boston , my apprentice Tim will be contracting demons for the first time, I already have a good candidate, but I hope you can guard the magic circle by the side.

Boston frowned vigorously. He looked back at Constantine and said, Aren't you determined not to accept apprentices? Why did you suddenly change your gender?

You've been hiding here, so you don't know the biggest recent news in the magic world. Constantine has washed his hands, and a mysterious friend of his has paid off all his debts.

The look in Boston's eyes changed when he saw Constantine. He took a step back, as if he wanted to stay away from Constantine. Constantine sighed and said, I didn't cheat him this time. He's still alive, he just doesn't want to show his face.

Boston frowned and stood there struggling for a while, but in the end he had to admit that Constantine, a liar recognized by heaven, hell and the human world, never told lies.

Well, you're lucky, but why are you dragging this innocent young man into the water again?

This is his own choice. Constantine walked to the opposite side of Boston and said, Don't tell me you didn't see it. His ambition for power made him destined to take such a path. If we guide him, he will never There's been too much trouble.

Boston turned his head and looked at Red Robin's face. After a while, he nodded and said, You are always good at convincing everyone, John, come with me, I have all the materials in my basement.

I'll be here for you. Jim turned to look at them, and Bennett said, Me too.

So Boston, Constantine and Red Robin came to the basement of Boston's hideout.

In the dark basement, there is only a small flickering light bulb, and there are traces of complex magic circles on the cold ground, and the bottles and cans on the surrounding tables emit a strange smell, which is not unpleasant, but makes people dizzy .

Red Robin was surprised to find that he had no fear, even though in the next few minutes he might have to face the dark side of the world that he had never faced before, but he searched his heart and found nothing but excitement .

In the office of Arkham Asylum, when Bruce hugged him, he seemed relieved. Within the understanding of everyone, including Batman, he was grateful for Batman's miracle, only he knew it wasn't .

He was happy that Batman from another universe actually took the path of shepherd, because it proved that they were really similar, and the most similar thing was that they could never be someone's little lamb.

Red Robin was commanded by Constantine to stand in the center of the magic circle. Constantine walked up to him and said to him: The contract object I chose for you is the ancestor of the black devil in hell, that is, the day you were in Acre Djeru's grandmother, seen in Mu's Asylum, is a black goat demon called 'Dirty Black Litasha'.

She is an extremely ancient demon, whose history can even be traced back to Satan's fall to heaven. Some people say that she was once a lamb in the Garden of Eden. When Lucifer started the battle of falling to heaven, she was corrupted by dark forces and fell into hell.

Anyway, she's older and wiser and more stable than most of the demons in hell, I've never heard of her torturing her followers, and she doesn't have a direct agent, but I think you can convince her .”

Red Robin took a deep breath and nodded. Constantine and Boston teamed up to draw a magic circle under his feet. Just as they were about to activate the magic circle, Red Robin suddenly stretched out a hand to stop it. took them.

What's wrong? Any more questions?

Don't be nervous. At this time, Boston also planned to appease Red Robin, and said, John and I will keep you safe, and even if we don't become a demon, we won't hurt you.

Don't worry, Tim, the demons treat mage apprentices very well. There are even many demons who are good at coaxing children. This is the basic skill to trick you into signing a contract. Even if the negotiation fails, they will not hurt people. , once the reputation of violence spreads, no apprentice will seek them out again.

No, that's not what I mean, your magic circle is drawn wrong. Red Robin said with certainty.

Both Constantine and Boston were stunned for a moment, but at this time Red Robin had already stepped out of the circle, standing in front of the room and pointing to the complicated patterns on the ground.

Look at this rune, this rune should refer to 'female', but the range it delineates overlaps with the latter rune representing 'mother of so-and-so', the former one can be completely deleted, and then replaced with an emphasized type The runes... and here, why are there so many redundant things here? It's completely unnecessary, deleted, and replaced them all with enhancements...

Constantine and Boston glanced at each other, watching Red Robin pick up the materials and modify them on the circle, Boston swallowed and said, Is he really your apprentice?

Now it is, but you don't want to know whose apprentice he was before.

Before Boston could ask, Red Robin clapped his hands and stood in the center of the modified circle again, looked at the two of them and said, Okay, let's start.

Boston stepped forward with some hesitation, looked at the magic circle that had been changed to something he could not understand at all, and said, I have to remind you, kid, maybe you are very talented in magic circles, but the ability to communicate with a certain demon The magic circle is fixed like a phone number, if you change the magic circle to this way, I can’t guarantee whether the phone can still be connected.”

Forget it, try it, if you can't figure it out, you can modify it. Constantine also stepped forward and said.

So, Boston half-kneeled on the ground, put his hand on the activation rune of the magic circle, and as the strong power of death spread, the magic circle gradually lit up.

Red Robin felt that the scene in front of him was replaced by misty darkness and blood red. In a trance, he heard a female voice whispering in his ear, full of endless temptation.

So he followed Constantine's instructions and began to say the name and pray.

Mother of the great black devil, the evil black goat of hell, your real name echoes in my mind, I pray for your coming—Rita Satas...

The seductive whispers in his ears became stronger and stronger, but instead of feeling fear, Red Robin listened carefully, and then heard a trace of doubt in the muddy whispers.

Who is Litasha? A slightly hoarse female voice came.

Red Robin was stunned for a moment, but he still asked instinctively, Aren't you 'Dark Litasha'? Then who are you?

I'm Lilith.
