Chapter 1481: Flying Birds and Return (Twenty-Six)
"Impossible!" Constantine answered instinctively.
He rushed over in a rage, and Bruce raised the densely written book in his hand to block the two of them. Constantine took two steps back as if he had been punched, covered his forehead and said, "No, don't show me this, but there can't be a problem with my magic circle."
Constantine sat opposite Bruce, clenched his fists, knocked on the table with his knuckles and said, "Although the power of a magician is borrowed, there are also many ways to use the borrowed power. Now those young people borrowed power and squandered it at will, and some of them are even too lazy to recite spells, and they just waved their hands and threw out the energy body as a means of attack."
"The difference between me and them is that I have mastered almost all the existing methods to improve the efficiency of magic energy utilization, whether it is chanting, spells, magic props or magic circles, I have mastered them all. The most exquisite ones in the book. "
"This is also the reason why I can still live to this day even though I have borrowed from heaven and hell and never paid back. I can use the least energy to achieve the greatest effect. The energy utilization efficiency is at least five or six times that of others. If I let those idiots who don't know a single rune come, they would have killed themselves long ago."
"But the two magic circles you drew in front of me that day were indeed inefficient. You only need to add less than four more deformed universal runes to increase the speed of energy conversion by 5 times."
"Hiss..." Constantine gritted his teeth and inhaled. He glared at Bruce and said, "What a big tone. I'll go get some paper and we'll start from the beginning."
Constantine rushed upstairs angrily and brought a stack of white paper and several pens of different colors. He spread the paper between the two of them and took the lead in picking up a black pen to start outlining.
He was indeed very fast in drawing the magic circle, and he did it in one go without any modification. He looked very skilled. Then Constantine pointed the tip of his pen at the center of the magic circle and said, "Look here, when the magic energy is injected into the first rune of devilish, devilishishy acts on the last rune of ishy, transmitting the energy to Diabos to form the first complete secret word "evil-devil", which is the first definition of this summoning, limiting the summoning object to demons..."
Constantine deduced along the entire magic circle, with smooth and complete logic, but Bruce shook his head. He took another piece of paper and drew a more complicated magic circle on it, and did not use the common circle or hexagon, but an alien magic circle, which was a rhombus that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
"First, we write the parallel rune of Aura from the Upta School in 55 AD, and then directly inject energy into the first rune above, so that the devilishishy first rune and the Diabos first rune move at the same time, and then connect to the fortuna first rune for judgment. If the other party is devilish, then..."
"Wait a minute!" Constantine interrupted, pointing to one of the runes and said, "What's the matter with this parallel rune? Why is it so complicated?"
"This is written in the book just now. The duo-aura demonstrated by the Upta School formed around 500 AD was engraved on the Uptanite Stele at the bottom of the Tigris River. Its characteristic is that the first rune is divided and judged after energy is injected, so a branching pattern is formed here..."
"You only read the book for two hours and you can remember a small rune engraved on a fucking stele in 500 AD??!!"
"Yes, and put the last rune The person who carved it is Satus Upta, from the Upta School..."
"I don't want to know what Upta School is! I just want to know, what makes you say that this magic circle is more efficient than the one I drew, have you tried it?"
"This doesn't require testing, it's just a simple logical problem, and it's more efficient and not accurate, it runs faster."
Constantine snorted, he slapped the table and stood up, saying: "You wait."
After a while, he took out a staff from the warehouse, looking at Schiller standing at the table with an unfriendly look, he explained: "The magic props were made long ago, and the remaining magic energy on it is enough to run a magic circle. As long as I don't borrow a new one, there will be no problem."
Schiller looked him up and down, Constantine gritted his teeth and said: "You have to give me a chance to have academic exchanges with your outstanding graduates, Professor Schiller?!"
He bit the last name particularly hard, Schiller raised his eyebrows, took a step back slightly and said: Please. "
Constantine put the staff on the table with a snap. He looked at Bruce and said, "I won't bully you. We can use the most basic pine ash to draw a miniature magic circle, and then inject energy into it to see the results."
"Wait." Bruce interrupted him. "Why, you don't dare?"
"No." Bruce stared at the magic circle he drew on the paper, and then said, "I remember Master Upta once proposed a possibility. As long as the nature of the material can withstand it, then the parallel magic circle is not the end.
"In his lifetime, he wanted to try dual or quadruple parallel runes, but there were not many magic materials in that era... Do you have any magic array materials that can withstand more power? I just came up with a new idea for quadruple parallel."
Constantine's eyes widened, he stared at Bruce and said: "You don't mean to say that you created a new magic array?"
"Not really creation." Bruce's eyes still stayed on the paper, thinking and saying: "It's just an improvement. If parallel commands can be completed, then dual parallel commands can definitely be done, but I'm not sure what the difference is in the nature of magic materials... Do you have relevant books? I think I can memorize them in the last twenty minutes."
Bruce looked up at Constantine's expression, stood up as if he was a little helpless and said: "Okay, let's try the existing pattern first. If possible, maybe I can try to add dual parallel runes on the way to the banquet."
Constantine first grabbed a handful of pine ash, outlined his own magic array with a smooth technique, and then handed the wooden bowl to Bruce.
Batman is a man who can throw bat-shaped darts that are completely inconsistent with ergonomics and aerodynamics. Even if it was his first time to draw a magic circle, he was calm and his hands were not shaking. He held a little pine ash in his hand and did not stop once from beginning to end.
After the magic circle was drawn, Constantine held the staff, looked at Bruce and said, "You or me?"
Bruce made a gesture of invitation, and Constantine placed the gem on the tip of the staff on the rune that needed to be injected with energy. A faint light flashed and spread almost instantly throughout the magic circle drawn by Constantine.
The light on the magic circle became stronger and stronger, and the originally white light began to gradually dye with color. After about five seconds, the magic circle completely turned red and went out after ten seconds.
Then, he injected energy into the magic circle drawn by Bruce in the same way. At first, it was also a faint white light, which turned into deep red in less than two seconds.
Constantine's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, then suddenly his eyes widened, and he quickly used the bottom of the staff to disturb the magic circle, but it was too late, the devil's whisper came from the center of the magic circle.
"It's over, the minimum requirement for summoning has been met!"
Constantine's voice was flustered, but his movements seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times. He took a step back, sank his qi into his dantian, and held the wooden staff with both hands.
"Swoosh! Bang!"
The staff swung round and smashed directly on the horn of the demon before it could show its head. With a "wow" sound, the demon's scream echoed in the gradually disappearing magic circle light: "Constantine!!!"
Constantine put away the staff, scratched his ears and said: "Why are you shouting? If I can use magic, I will definitely let you up..."
Bruce raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked at Constantine and said: "It seems that I still have a lot to learn.
Constantine paused, looked a little surprised, and after a few seconds he grinned and said.
"That's not necessary, boy, you are much stronger than me, just remember, you must smash them back at once, this is the only way to cancel the summoning ceremony."
Then he walked up and patted Bruce on the back and said: "You may really be a genius in the magic world that appears once in a thousand years, perhaps comparable to Merlin, but sometimes it's useless to be a bookworm. It's best to negotiate after smashing the demon's head. "
"Of course, this is the specialty of our school, isn't it?" Bruce said with a smile.
Constantine was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at Schiller who was leaning against the bookshelf table. Schiller raised the wine glass in his hand to him, and Constantine's eyes were immediately straight.
He rushed over, sat down opposite Schiller and said: "Don't tell me that your wizard tower has an unlimited supply of red wine? !"
"Not only that, there are cigars, but also those good things in my office."
"You should have told me earlier, where is the wizard tower of our school? It won't be Gotham, right?"
"Of course not. If the wizards go crazy one by one, it may not be conducive to academic exchanges. I think your bookstore is good. The back is the Forgotten Bar, with a beautiful environment and convenient transportation. What do you think?"
"Will you bring the inventory here?"
"That depends on whether you can prepare a wine cellar. "
Constantine stood up and ran to the basement in a hurry, saying, "It will be built within three days. I'm waiting for your good stuff!"
Schiller smiled, stood up from the table, looked down at his watch and said, "The banquet is almost over, let's go."
Standing at the door of the bookstore waiting for the carriage, Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said, "First, use straightforward language to provoke the other party in the field where they least want to lose, arouse their desire to win, and then express humility after victory, indicating that they are willing to learn from each other. This is indeed a good way to win people's trust."
When Bruce looked back, Schiller looked into his eyes and said, "But sometimes, vulgar things are more touching."
The carriage descended from mid-air, and Schiller and Bruce got into the carriage. Schiller looked at the night outside the window and added: "The enjoyment of sound, color and taste is an innate instinct of human beings, and few people can escape it."
"Are you hinting that I should give you a bottle of red wine?"
"So, boy." Schiller turned to look at Bruce and said: "You still have a lot to learn.
The magic carriage crossed the misty night sky of London with streams of light, heading towards the light spots on the coastline, until the last ray of light disappeared at the end of the sky, leaving only the city alone.
