Chapter 2607: Whistling Down (Sixty-Five)

Chapter 2581: Down with a rustling sound (Sixty-five)

Constantine, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was studying the magic circle in his office. Various books were scattered all over the floor. The open space in the office was also drawn in a mess by him. Various materials were piled up around him. The wall next to him was also filled with jars of strange biological products.

When Schiller and Shivana came in, Constantine said without raising his head: "If you have anything, go to Professor Zatara. I am busy."

"Is your leg better?" Schiller asked.

Constantine was shocked. When he turned around, he sat down on the ground. Seeing that it was Schiller, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the spot, patted the hem of his magician robe and said: "Why are you here? Don't you have classes recently?"

"Most students are moving dormitories, and too many students have taken leave." Schiller said: "So I simply took a few days off."

Constantine nodded, said nothing, and put the magic circle rune that he had just messed up when he fell back to its original position.

"How many days have you not slept?" Schiller asked.

"Only two days." Constantine yawned and said, "I have to finish this part quickly. I can't delay it any longer."

Schiller turned around and saw his notes on Constantine's desk. Schiller picked up the notebook and took a look. He found that it was a record of rune conversion.

The rune system of the entire magic world has been reconstructed. Many of the magic circles that Bruce reconstructed and Constantine studied can no longer be used. They must be converted to work normally. He has been busy with this before.

Schiller saw the small wooden stick thrown aside by Constantine, and he said, "Why did you get this too?"

Constantine was stunned, then looked at Schiller, and Schiller was also stunned. Then he remembered that Constantine could not use magic now. What else could he use if he didn't use the wand?

The wand developed by DC is different from that of Marvel. The wand of Marvel is equivalent to pre-prepared food, which is used for small wizards who can't cook at all. The wand of DC is just the opposite. It is equivalent to a lithium battery, which can store energy and is used to charge the great wizards who are short of energy.

Therefore, the wand here has strict usage restrictions and is basically only circulated within the scope of Bruce's acquaintances. The power in the wand is actually the wool pulled from Barbatos, and Bruce has the highest control over it.

In fact, it is equivalent to Bruce lending money to these magicians, but they don't have to pay it back and don't need any price, but the premise is that they have to use this power in the right way, such as doing academic research or teaching.

Constantine is using this kind of power now.

Constantine stared at Schiller, and the expression on his face was "You are so embarrassed to ask me why I use this."

Schiller didn't stay on this topic for too long. He pointed at Sivana and said, "Let me introduce you to the new principal of Gotham School of Magic."

"Not really a new principal yet." Sivana said modestly, "I heard you're a magician?"

Constantine muttered a few words in a low voice, then said, "I used to be, but not now."

"Do you know the Rock of Eternity?" Schiller asked.

Constantine nodded almost without thinking, and then asked with some doubts, "Why are you asking about that place? It's unlucky there."

"Unlucky? Why is it unlucky?"

"Of course, that Shazam is so annoying. Oh, I forgot, he's also a great wizard, and he's in the same group with that group, so I'm probably the only one who thinks he's annoying."

"What do you mean?" Schiller pulled a chair and sat down, and Sivana simply sat on the ground, and both looked at Constantine.

Constantine didn't understand why they were so interested in this, so he kept looking back and forth between the two of them. Sivana sighed and briefly told him about her past experiences.

After listening to this, Constantine snorted coldly and said, "That's right, it's something that guy can do."

"Do you know him?"

"Is there anyone in the magic world that I don't know? Or is there anyone who doesn't know me?"

"What have you two done with each other?"

Constantine waved his hand and said, "He wanted me to be his successor, but I refused. Then that guy started spreading rumors about me in the magic world. That's when I started to get incompatible with the mainstream magic world."

"Tell me more about it."

Constantine thought about it and said, "That was decades ago. I was a rookie at the time. I was looking for fragments of the Eternal Star and accidentally entered the Eternal Rock..."

According to Constantine's narration, Schiller and Shivana learned about the origin of Constantine and Old Shazam decades ago.

Constantine was still a young boy at the time, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but because of his outstanding magic talent, he was exposed to magic when he was still a child and possessed powerful power.

But as most people say, he is a freak. He did not study under a great wizard like many young wizards, nor did he squander his power to his own death. Constantine was more interested in magic tools.

To be precise, he was more concerned about the carrier of magic, such as props, magic circles and spellcasting methods, and was not particularly concerned about the power itself. However, because his talent was so good, his soul had an unusual attraction to the devil, so he was already very strong at that time.

Of course, he later realized that this was actually just the devil's bet. He was the card table, so the devil favored him.

At that time, because there was no one to guide him, he had to explore everything on his own, and there were no ready-made materials. Constantine was like Dora and the monkey. He went out on adventures every day and basically visited all the magic worlds of all sizes, including Including the Rock of Eternity.

The wizard Shazam is an immortal and has lived for tens of thousands of years, so he has accumulated such powerful power. When Constantine went there, he was not looking for his power at all. He just wanted to find materials to make magic props. , but Shazam the Wizard doesn’t see it that way.

He felt that this talented boy must be the heir sent to him by God. He opened and shut his mouth just to let Constantine inherit his power. Constantine didn't do it, and the two broke up on bad terms.

When talking about this, Sivana couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why don't you do it?"

"Why should I do it?" Constantine was also confused. "Why should I accept his power? It's not like I don't have it myself. If I wanted to, I could get a power a hundred times stronger than his power in a minute. Why would I do that? Do you have to want it from him?”

"But no one thinks the money is too little," Sivana said.

Constantine waved his hand again and said, "Do you think you don't have to pay for taking his power? How is that possible!"

Sivana was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Do I have to pay a price? But he's not a devil or anything."

"How do you know he is not?" Constantine seemed a little unable to stand Sivana's stubbornness. He said, "Why do you think he is hiding in that corner? Is it because he doesn't like the glorious magic tower in the main world and the people who surround him every day? The magician’s apprentice?”

Sivana had never thought about this angle. He said, "Isn't he practicing there?"

"Did he tell you that? Do you believe it?" Constantine said disdainfully: "Have I told you before that the essence of magic is borrowing debt, and you have to run 100 miles before you go to the bank to apply for a loan? "

"Then why is he there?"

"That old man is hiding from his creditors there!"

Constantine recalled it and said: "I kind of forgot who his creditor was, but since he lived for so many years, he must have borrowed a lot of debt. There are too many such people in the magic world."

"Although many magicians in the main world have died now, most of them are young people. Yes, people like Master Andrew can also be considered young people. There are many old immortals living in a corner with thousands of people. They haven’t come out for years, and no one knows if they are still alive.”

"Most of these people made a fortune in the era of loose terms, or took advantage of the battle between devils and angels in the Fallen War. They were afraid of being liquidated in the future, so they found a place as remote as possible. Hide."

"This group of people generally have no talent, no ability, and no ambition. They live their entire lives just to live longer, so they plan to rest on their laurels and find a place to squat for tens of thousands of years. Shazam is obviously this kind of person."

"Otherwise, with so much power, he still needs to find an heir. Can't he come out to seek justice on his own?"

Sivana felt that her filter was completely broken.

"Then, you can also use his power..."

"I already said there is a price." Constantine's eyes almost rolled to the sky. He said: "Looking for an heir is just money laundering, isn't it? He transfers his power to other people, and then he Fake your own death and the account will be settled."

"When you are resurrected in the future, you can go find the unlucky guy who has inherited the power and get most of it back. You can claim that I am your benefactor. If you are in danger, if you don't give me one million dollars, you He is an ungrateful villain.”

Sivana could hardly close her mouth.

"Let me see, if he doesn't choose you, it's not because you were tempted. It's just because you're not innocent enough to be deceived. You don't still want to treat him as a treasure, do you?"

"He invited me at that time because he saw that I also have a lot of power. After he reincarnates and comes back, not only will he not lose money, he may even make money, so I won't be deceived."

Constantine sighed and said a little indignantly.

"That guy did live long enough. He had a strong voice in the Archmage Alliance. I was not fooled. He said behind the backs of those archmages that I was too talented and had evil intentions. He would definitely become a big problem in the future, leading to For a long time after that, those magic families and mage apprentices always caused trouble for me. "

Constantine said with a gloomy face: "You always say that I don't fit in with others, and I always cheat my teammates, but I don't want to be a marginal figure in the magic world, at least not at that time."

"But at that time, Shazam had the right to speak. What could I do? Most of the magic families wouldn't do business with me, and no one would tell me if they wanted to get information. I don't want to do evil things, so how can I survive?"

"Then is this magician absolutely necessary?" Sivana asked.

Constantine looked at Schiller with some confusion. Schiller shook his head and said, "Mr. Principal is just an ordinary person. He has no magic talent."

Constantine understood and said: "Magic talent is not a gift, but a curse. Having a magic talent means that the devil likes you very much, and you cannot refuse."
