The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the Forgotten Bar in London, the aftermath of the riots is far from over. Bruce found Cain before, stunned him with the trap of the magic circle, and obtained his blood, but not just the one he used on Thomas. With the small tube, Bruce drained half of Cain's blood.

Even if Cain becomes a clown, he is a vampire. Vampires need enough blood to maintain their strength. Once the blood in their bodies is insufficient, they will fall into a deep sleep, just like Bennett before.

In other words, Bruce re-sealed Cain, but this led to the comeback of the Scarlet Queen Mary, who had been suppressed by Cain before. Prey on London.

Night Master Jim and his allies can only fight fires and save ordinary people from the fangs and claws of vampires.

Fortunately, the wrong decision of the thirteen clans made them consume a lot of their vitality in Gotham, and many elders of the blood clan also fell into the sand there. Although the blood red moon led by the Scarlet Queen still has remnants, it is not the master of the night their opponents.

The only thing that suffered heavy losses was the Forgotten Bar, the base camp of Night Master Jim. In the final battle, the battle between the two sides almost razed this place to the ground.

In the end, Bennett paid half of his own blood to re-seal his wife, and the two fell into a deep sleep together. However, what ushered after the war was not peace and tranquility, but a bleak scene.

The occult circle was severely injured, the Forgotten Bar was almost turned into ruins, Westminster Abbey was under martial law, and London began to re-implement the curfew system. Everywhere you looked was a barren scene.

Everyone hid and licked their wounds, and they no longer had any hope for the development of the occult world. Even Jim, the master of the night who insisted on justice, disbanded the team he had assembled before, and just silently repaired the bar by himself.

After this battle, Jim saw through the truth of the wizarding world, especially the choice made by the Association of Archmages made him very disappointed.

The mages should not fail to understand that they are selling out the interests of all mankind and making those devils tempt young children more unscrupulously, but they kneel down to the devil without any scruples for their own enjoyment. What else is necessary?

On this day, Jim sat in front of the bar that hadn't been fully repaired and wiped the glass, his thoughts flew to a distant place, and finally he couldn't help but sighed again, showing a trace of sadness.

With a sound of squeak, the door of the bar was pushed open. Jim frowned, looked up at the figure at the door, and said instinctively: Sorry, the bar hasn't been repaired yet, and it's not open for now, oh, Professor Schiller , why do you have time to come here?

Jim watched Schiller come in, and then found that there was a person behind him. Constantine walked to the bar counter and sat down, tapped the table with his fingers and said: Have a martini, this is a celebration victory.

Victory? Jim sneered. I don't think it's a victory for either of us.

Constantine waved his hand and said, I told you a long time ago that mages are a bunch of idiots, they don't deserve sympathy, and there's nothing to lament about if they die.

But you know better than me, John. Jim lowered his head and picked up the mixing glass, and said, Human beings always have to face the threat from the occult world. It has special meaning to them.”

I admit that the mages don't do many good things, and they are even less sober. The people of the Archmage League are even a bunch of idiots, but if there is no orderly magic world standing in front of ordinary people, there is no way to resist them The temptation of not being there, then maybe a stable family will have an extra monster overnight.

What do you think of the future of the wizarding world? Schiller asked.

Jim gave him a strange look, and when his eyes fell on Schiller's face, he took a breath, and Constantine took the wine glass in his hand and said, That's not the one you know. Professor Schiller, but I think you should give your opinion.

Those barren gray eyes seemed to put a lot of pressure on Jim. He thought carefully for a while before saying: I don't think the magic world can perish, but I also think there is no need to save the magic world now.

To tell you the truth, I am worried about this. It is not easy to rebuild a new magic world. Even if it is built, how can we guarantee that there will be no next Grand Master League?

Jim lowered his head, his worried expression was hard to hide, he said: If my reconstruction operation raises a group of human traitors, then when similar disasters happen again, I will definitely be responsible.

So, are you hesitating whether to make a move?

Jim nodded and said, But I'm not the kind of person who does nothing in order not to make mistakes. I want to try my best, but so far I haven't come up with any good solutions.

Then he looked up at Constantine and Schiller again, and asked tentatively: The two of you are here now, you don't come here to watch me fix the table, do you?

Of course not. Schiller smiled at him, stretched out his hand to straighten his tie, and said, We have the same idea as you. It is imperative to rebuild the wizarding world, just to avoid reincarnation of the League of Archmages. The old way, the method and method may need to be carefully considered.”

Jim put down the cup he was wiping, put his elbows on the table, leaned forward, looked at Schiller and asked, So, Professor Schiller, what's your opinion?

Before that, I have to ask you a few questions. Schiller said in a gentle tone: The previous wizarding world has always been an apprentice system, right?

Jim thought for a while and said, If you're referring to the apprenticeship system in the Middle Ages, it's almost the same. The archmages occupy the mage towers to recruit apprentices, and the apprentices learn from them and then do things for them.

Never had a formal academy?

Jim frowned, as if he had guessed what Schiller was going to say, he sighed and said, Are you talking about a college like a modern university? This is difficult to achieve, because every archmage puts himself in touch The powerful presence that is received is regarded as a valuable asset, and establishing an academy means contributing one's own communication channels.

This is the disadvantage of the apprenticeship system. Schiller took a glass of mulled wine from Jim's hand and said, Everyone is worried that the apprentice will starve the master to death. The teacher occupies an important position in the industry. It is unavoidable to worry that the apprentice will rob him of his position after surpassing him, but a full-time teacher does not have similar worries.

Do you want to build a magic academy? Jim almost got it right. After thinking for a while, he said: There are a few questions. First of all, magic in this world cannot be strengthened through practice. What's the point of exercising?

If magic is obtained by making a contract, at least they should learn how to make a contract, instead of being deceived by those demons without knowing anything. Constantine said, covering his face with his hands, and continued: They need to know if they are sane in the face of the devil before they can make a decision and then they can take responsibility for their decisions.

To strengthen their basic cognition, that is to let them disenchant those powerful existences, the magic world will become what it is today. It is hard to say whether there are religious factors. Schiller stroked it with one hand own wrist, said.

Many mages regard demons as their gods rather than trading objects. They unconsciously admire them in the process of using their opponent's power, so they gradually give up their bottom line. The first lesson that mages must learn is They are on the side of humans, not those mysterious powerful beings.

Negotiation also has many skills. Schiller explained in a soothing tone: Most people without professional training can't be called negotiators, and many even don't even know what negotiation is.

They can't judge the other party's current psychology through the tone of the other party. They don't know how to bid, and they don't know how to lower the other party's bid. They don't keep finding out the other party's bottom line during the negotiation process and strive for a favorable position for themselves.

Negotiation skills are a comprehensive subject, including the essence of psychology, behavior, economics and other disciplines. Without systematic study, it is difficult to understand effective skills and methods.

After thinking for a while, Jim said: I think what you said makes sense. I have heard many stories of contract fraud in bars. I have asked a few times out of curiosity. Most of the scams are similar and not complicated, but there are always people who fall for it. , sometimes I feel strange, but I can understand when I think that many mages are children who haven't finished high school.

There is one more question. Jim stretched out a finger and said, Although it is important to learn negotiation skills in advance, in the end it is still necessary to select the contract partner and conclude the contract. What should we do in this step? Who will lead them?

Of course it's a full-time teacher. Schiller replied: Collect information on all the objects that can conclude a contract, hire negotiation experts to conduct targeted research, and then match with the characteristics of the students.

It was all basic learning before, and the conclusion of the contract is the first stage of targeted exams. After a lot of practice and preparation, students can naturally cope with the exam freely, and after the conclusion of the contract, they will start the second stage. Phases of learning, practicing how to make better use of strength.

But Jim shook his head and said: It's easy to say, but the devils won't cooperate. The summoning circles in the hands of the archmages are passed down from generation to generation. Their soul breaths have been registered with the devils. Demon gods with strange numbers won't cooperate. For those who answer, it is too difficult for them to recognize the so-called full-time teachers.

Even if they can be forcibly summoned, if they are unwilling to sign a contract, then no one can force them.

When Jim looked at Schiller, he found that Schiller was also looking at him. Although his eyes were not focused, he seemed to have anticipated his question. Jim leaned forward, waiting for his answer.

Schiller didn't speak, but Constantine spoke first.

Do you think we'll come to you unprepared?

Jim frowned, Konstantin picked up the glass and drank the wine in the glass, put the glass gently on the table, and said.

We have convinced hell and heaven that starting today, they will only conduct transactions with students selected by the Magic Academy. Any other actions to conclude contracts will not be protected by the human mystic circle.

Jim opened his mouth wide in surprise. He stared at Constantine, as if he didn't believe what he said, and then looked at Schiller. Unexpectedly, Schiller nodded.

But, but how could they agree? Jim asked inexplicably, he stammered and said, Angels and devils are very arrogant, how could they be willing to be restrained by humans?

Of course they won't be bound by humans. Schiller shook his head and said, They just don't want to fight the second battle of Fallen Heaven.

About two days ago, Bruce found Michael and told him that he didn't think heaven was interesting. He planned to fall into hell and become Satan while God was not there, and then lead hell to attack heaven again.

One of my personalities is very supportive of his actions, and expressed to Michael that he will be able to manage the logistics of heaven.

Before Michael made a statement, Beelzebub and Azazel, the demon kings of hell, strongly protested and claimed that they would complain to God through prayers that Michael maliciously poisoned hell.

And when Bruce retreated to the next best thing after multi-party mediation, hoping to standardize the trading rules between heaven, hell and the human world, both parties agreed with good intentions, even happily.
