Chapter 1622 No Time to Die (XII)

In a slightly dim conference room, several people sat at a round conference table. Strange sat at the main seat with a stack of information in his hand. He stood up and waved to the left and right, and everyone nodded to him.

Schiller, who was sitting next to Strange, raised his hand and put it on the table and said, "This time, we have gathered everyone together because the Supreme Sorcerer from another universe has some opinions to express about the magic situation in this universe. At the same time, you should also be very curious about the situation of the magic world in other universes. Professor Strange will explain it to everyone in detail."

Strange nodded, he stood up, and while pacing in front of the conference room, he began to talk about the universe he was in in the Marvel world, the Sanctuary of the Holy, Kamar-Taj, and how the entire magic world worked.

Because the situation was a bit complicated, Strange took a full forty minutes to finish his talk, and he didn't even talk about it in detail, just talked about the general structure.

In addition to the people in the magic world, such as Constantine, Zatanna, Master Andrew, and Lady Xanadu, the three giants of the Justice League, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, were present, Green Lantern Hal and Green Arrow Oliver were also present, and even ordinary people such as Little Falcone and Cobblepot and Gotham City Mayor Roy were all sitting around the conference table.

After all, if the magic academy is to be built in Gotham, the situation in the magic world is closely related to these people, and except for Bruce, Roy, and Alberto who understood part of what Strange said, everyone else was confused.

The main reason is that if Strange only talks about economics, most people can understand it, and if he only talks about the magic world, most people can also understand it, but when these two are combined, there is a kind of chaotic beauty of green onions grafted on apple trees, and many people did not react for a while.

They digested it for another half an hour before they barely understood part of it. Then Strange stood in front of the table, rolled up the documents in his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Wake up, friends. Humanity is about to be destroyed in your hands. Why are you not in a hurry at all?"

"Now the magic world has experienced a great catastrophe and the number of people has dropped sharply. Do you think those demons and angels will accept the result of a sharp drop in their income? It is foreseeable that they will find ways to lure more humans into this scam."

"But they won't say it's their fault. They have a good excuse, that is, human wizards have killed so many of them, so it is reasonable for them to add believers. They may even ask us for compensation."

"How can we let them do this? Bullying humans? "Green Arrow Oliver slammed the table, stood up and said: "It's really lawless! Is there no one to control it?"

It was also the first time that Hal heard about this situation in the magic world. He pursed his lips and said: "I'm not saying anything sarcastic, but how can the wizards wait until the situation deteriorates to this point before reacting?"

"They haven't even fully reacted yet." Constantine turned his head aside and said: "As far as I know, there are some middle school magic clubs in London, and some graffiti spraying of the Dark Mother is becoming popular in community middle schools, but even if I know that this is not a game for children, there is nothing I can do."

"Do you realize what caused this completely passive situation now?" Strange asked a question.

Immediately, everyone below started to answer, some said that the devil was too cunning, some said that the angels were irresponsible, and some said that human nature should be corrupted. Strange was helpless when he heard it.

"Have you not discovered the biggest difference between the magic worlds of our two worlds? - The Earth I live on has a magic defense network."

Suddenly, the scene was silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Strange. The smarter ones among them realized something. Bruce said, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"In ancient times, the great wizards of the Earth almost exhausted all their energy and even sacrificed their lives to build the earliest magic defense network. The most important function of this network is to prevent any demon from spying on the Earth at will."

"Is your defense network strong enough to kill all the demons?" Constantine asked.

"On the contrary, it is enough to kill all humans."

The room suddenly fell into silence. Strange straightened his body and raised his chin slightly. He said in a cold tone: "From the beginning to the end, the purpose of the wizard to build this magic network is to take all the humans on the earth to death."

"Of course, the demons can attack this magic network at will, but they know very well that once the wizards are completely unable to resist them, we will directly detonate the earth's magic defense network and drag all humans to death together. They can't expect anything."

"Human faith is special, and we are valuable." Strange lowered his head slightly and said: "Humanity's uniqueness itself is the most important resource we can use. We must let all non-human life realize that they will get nothing but destruction by forcing humans."

"It's hard to destroy these powerful beings, but it's easy to destroy humans." Strange returned his gaze to the table and continued, "As long as you make them realize that you may destroy yourself at any time, how dare they be so arrogant?"

Seeing the atmosphere in the room become quiet, Bruce was the first to speak. He put his fist to his mouth and coughed, saying, "Building a protective shield for the earth is not just for these purposes. In case of invasion by other alien life, it can also be used as the last line of defense."

"That's right." Hal said, "The universe is not as safe as imagined."

"We don't necessarily have to detonate it, right?" Clark leaned forward and said, "Just like a nuclear bomb, its greatest value is the deterrent power when it doesn't explode."

Schiller silently turned his eyes away. Clark saw his expression and gave him a slightly apologetic smile. He even reached out and pulled his arm. Schiller could only shake his head helplessly.

"But how can we put a shield around the earth?" Zatanna scratched her head vigorously and said, "If the human wizards in their heyday united, it might be possible, but now everyone is dead or injured, and the rest are fighting on their own, and there is no unity at all."

"Since it is not forcibly stopping the demon, it is not necessary to use magic to build a protective shield." Constantine touched his chin and said, "Anyway, it is just a deterrent, and it is okay to build an electric grid that can destroy the earth."

"The problem is that we can't let ordinary people know." Diana frowned and said, "That will cause panic, and only magic can do it if it is both concealed and has a certain degree of protection."

"Not necessarily." When Schiller spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him, but Schiller turned to look at Hal.

Hal was stunned, Bruce rolled his eyes and said: "Indeed, we have a very convenient energy, which is very suitable for building the earth's defense network. It is both concealed and protective."

"You mean green light energy?" Diana opened her mouth in surprise. After thinking for a while, she said: "I saw Hal use this energy when building the space station. It does meet the requirements of building a defense network, but where can we get so much green light energy?"

Hal froze for a moment, then shrugged and said: "I'm afraid we don't need to get more green light energy."

"What do you mean..."

With a "crash", the whole room was engulfed by green light, and a mountain of green light energy crystals were released by Hal.

Then, Hal crossed his arms and stared at Schiller and said, "Don't tell me you've thought about this day a long time ago."

Everyone's eyes fell on Schiller's face again, and Schiller's expression was still calm. He said, "I don't want to be ahead of everyone else."

Quite tactful, but easy to understand, Constantine smiled at Schiller and said, "We will try our best to catch up with half of your intelligence, Professor Schiller, but only next time."

"What's going on?" Strange said in surprise, "Is it so difficult to say 'thank you' and 'thank you'? And what about me?"

Bruce stood up and shook hands with Strange, and looked at Strange with his blue eyes, and said very sincerely, "Although you said before that you were not being modest, I still have to say that you are a little self-deprecating in analyzing the key aspects of the problem."

Alberto walked quickly to Strange's side and used force He shook hands with him and said, "Your wisdom and experience will bring good news to Gotham and the entire magic world, Your Excellency the Supreme Sorcerer."

Others took turns to shake hands with him. Strange was busy like a top. After everyone left to prepare the magic defense network, he let out a long breath, shrugged at Schiller and said, "I have never heard so many complex adjectives in my life. Each of them has more than seven letters, right?"

"At least twelve." Schiller stood up, waved at Strange and said, "Although we have to build a defense network, we can't delay enrollment. It seems that they are all very busy. We need to handle some chores ourselves."

Strange followed Schiller to another room, which looked like a room in the castle dedicated to sending and receiving letters. There were several dark brown writing desks that looked very heavy and huge bookshelves that took up an entire wall, piled with letters.

"These are all the admission letters we are going to send out. Now we have to put them in envelopes, fasten them to the messengers, and deliver them to the students who are going to be admitted."

Strange nodded, not understanding what to explain about such a simple process, but soon Schiller took him from a door in this room into another room.

As soon as he entered the room, Strange was stunned, because there were tens of thousands of bats in this Gothic spire lobby.

The bats were densely hanging on the dome of the spire, and some were still circling in the air. A bat brushed past Strange's head, causing him to stagger forward, and then a bat hit his face.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Strange danced on the spot as if he had been electrocuted, and then swooshed back to another room. He looked at the bats that filled the entire hall in horror and shouted, "Is this the messenger you mentioned? ! ! ... Why is it a bat? ? ? ? "

Schiller stood in the middle of a pile of bats and seemed a little helpless. He sighed and said, "You may not believe it, but the only creatures in this city that will not go crazy after being cast with magic are bats, so we can only use this."

"What about owls? Doesn't the magic academy in your Mind Tower use owls?"

"People here are allergic to owls, so don't mention owls."

And when Strange saw the box of bat-shaped envelopes, bat-patterned wax, and bat-shaped dolls that Schiller moved out from a pile of bookshelves, he stared at Schiller with wide eyes, as if he didn't know Schiller.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know why he likes bats so much."

"Who?"

"The rich man who sponsored the whole school. The school you see, and even the whole city, was built by him - that student of mine you saw before."

"Hiss..." Strange took a breath.

"If you really can't accept the image of a bat, you can stand there, and then I..."

"No, I want to ask, if I can get him more bat toys, can he sponsor the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies?"
