Chapter 290 The Fourth Meteor Shower Is Coming, and the Three Palaces Demon Crisis Is Coming!
Standing outside a manor in Georgetown, Peter looked at the building in front of him, recalling the information about Baron Winters introduced by Zatanna in his mind.
According to Xiao Zha, this Baron Winters is as notorious as Constantine in the magical world.
This guy is famous because he has an estate.
As Baron Winters, who is in charge of a manor with endless magic, since he is the owner of the manor, he should have great power, but in fact his magic level is not very good.
Winters Manor is a magical hub, and Baron Winters took it for himself and proclaimed himself a baron.
Whether it's identity or power, it's all a lie he created in front of outsiders.
As for why Winters Manor is so mysterious.
According to Zatanna, there was a major earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. Countless citizens died and the entire city was reduced to scorched earth. In order to avoid the earthquake that occurred at that time, Baron Winters isolated the manor from the world and blocked it. He suffered the death caused by the earthquake.
But the price is that he can never leave the manor.
Once he leaves the estate, he finds himself in San Francisco in 1906, in the midst of an earthquake.
So even if he escaped death from the earthquake, he would still be trapped here and suffer the curse forever.
But the advantage is that there are endless magic books in the study room in the manor, and he can spend endless time studying magic.
Thinking about the information about Baron Winters in Zatanna's email, Peter knocked on the door.
Inside the manor.
Baron Winters heard the sound and looked out through the flames of the fireplace.
Winters Manor is connected to an ordinary manor from the outside world. If someone from the outside world knocks on the door, he can observe it.
Although he cannot leave, he can bring people into the manor.
Seeing Peter's appearance, after being stunned for a moment, Baron Winters touched his goatee in confusion.
He thought Peter's appearance looked familiar.
After hesitating for a moment, Baron Winters suddenly remembered the strange dream he had had before.
He dreamed of a monster that suddenly appeared and destroyed the balance of the entire world.
As a magician, Baron Winters has always arrogantly believed that he is noble and that everything he does is maintaining the balance of the universe.
Of course, how to maintain it is his own way.
Overall, this is an elderly liar with a bit of a chubby character.
Or an old Constantine.
Baron Winters, who suddenly felt that he had seen Peter in his dream, opened the passage and let Peter enter the manor.
Opening the door, Peter entered this mysterious manor.
"Hello, Baron Winters."
Entering the room, Peter greeted the old and imposing Baron Winters and the leopard beside him.
"You know me?"
Baron Winters looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I know you. I'm here to ask for your help."
Peter did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
"Can I help you?"
Baron Winters looked at him in surprise.
Are there still people coming to me for help these days?
Aren’t there many people who say that they are an old liar?
"I think you must be mistaken."
Baron Winters coughed and used his cane to hit "Merlin" who was curious and wanted to get closer to Peter.
"I'm not some great magician who helps people in need."
Baron Winters said to Peter inscrutably: "The universe has its own way of operating, and I, I maintain this fragile balance."
"balance?"
Peter was stunned for a moment and asked the other party: "Are you God?"
"Ahem, I'm not."
"So you're Lucifer?"
"No it's not."
Being stared at by Peter with strange eyes, Baron Winters couldn't bear it. He quickly changed the subject, "You said you wanted my help?"
Peter nodded, and then told him about the group nightmare incident in Smallwell Town.
After listening to Peter's story, Baron Winters' expression became a little more serious.
He stirred the fireplace for a while with his metal cane and asked Peter, "Who are you? I see in you a corrosive evil."
"Peter Padraic, but there shouldn't be anything evil in me, because I'm not a bastard yet."
"No, it's you."
Baron Winters said to Peter: "I can feel the part of you that is gradually being eroded."
As he said that, he wanted to use the flames of the fireplace to check the source of these evil smells.
But what he didn't expect was that the flames in the fireplace suddenly burned violently.
The startled Baron Winters hurriedly stirred up firewood.
But what caught him off guard was a huge shadow appearing from the flames.
"Merlin" next to the fireplace immediately arched his body, whimpering from his mouth, and stared at the increasingly fierce flames.
The frightened Baron Winters stepped back in horror.
He stared in disbelief at the flames that gradually formed a human shape in front of him.
The existence in front of him was a demon with red skin and multiple arms.
The body of the giant demon was covered with scales, and its eyes flashed red, revealing an evil and powerful aura.
Baron Winters looked at the huge demon appearing in the fireplace flames in shock, and murmured in a low voice: "Three Palace Demons?!"
He suddenly regretted letting Peter in.
Peter looked at the demon in the flames in front of him, and frowned.
"He will destroy everything, destroy all balance."
Baron Winters muttered to himself.
"The people in Smallville fell into a deep sleep because the Three Palaces Demon wanted to absorb fear from their dreams and then use fear to enhance his own power. He is about to come here."
He cast a horrified look at Peter, "What did you do to attract him to Earth?"
"I guess I probably robbed his daughter."
Peter shrugged and said.
He now guessed that the system had used some means to snatch the raven directly from the Three Palaces Demon.
The first three times were a little more subtle, but this time the system seemed to have directly snatched it.
Otherwise, why did the Three Palaces Demon chase Smallville?
"You robbed his daughter?"
Baron Winters looked at Peter in shock.
Is there still such a guy who doesn't know how to live or die?
Shocked, he took a deep breath, then suddenly pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Look, what is that?!"
Peter turned his head in confusion, but the next second, Baron Winters pushed Peter into the flames of the fireplace.
"Boom!"
The flames flickered violently, sending Peter outside.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Baron Winters quickly ran upstairs, came down with a fire extinguisher, and sprayed it fiercely at the flames of the fireplace.
With his operation, the flames were instantly extinguished by foam.
"Huh!"
Baron Winters, who had taken care of everything, looked at the leopard "Merlin" with contempt, and explained, "This is not my cunning, you know, I don't want to cause any trouble."
"Really? Didn't you say you wanted to maintain the balance of the universe?"
Peter's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Baron Winters, who was startled, turned back quickly.
As a result, before he could act, Peter had moved in front of him.
After instantly letting "Merlin" fall asleep, Peter picked up the leopard.
"Your little cat is in my hands, Baron Winters, what are you going to do now?"
Peter asked the sleeping "Merlin" while holding him.
"How did you do it?"
Baron Winters asked in shock.
"Secret."
Peter did not tell the other party about the existence of the sandbag, but asked him: "Now, can we talk about cooperation?"
"What do you want me to do?"
Baron Winters saw "Merlin" in the other party's hands and could only ask Peter helplessly.
"Tell me how to defeat him."
"Impossible, you can't defeat him, no one can do it."
Baron Winters shook his head and said.
"If it's not his real body, I can try."
Peter looked at the manor in front of him and said, "My daughter said you can help me. I think you should know how to weaken him."
Baron Winters was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said, "There is a way."
"What way?"
"Let those who fall into sleep no longer have nightmares, and his power can be weakened. Also, I know how to seal him, but the premise is that you must defeat him."
He walked upstairs and soon came down with a red crystal, "This is the sacred crystal, the magic crystal of Acharas, which contains powerful magic energy. If you can really defeat him, you can seal him in this crystal."
"In addition, if you can't beat him, you can hide here with me. I am independent of time and he won't be able to find me for a while. I can provide you with a refuge camp here."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
Peter was a little disappointed when he listened to Baron Winters' method.
He thought the other party could have a more effective method.
Taking the sacred crystal from the other party, Peter frowned.
The future raven daughter asked him to find Baron Winters.
Could it be that his daughter wanted him to seal the Three Palaces Demon?
The next day, at night.
Peter stood in the cornfield behind the farm.
He had previously used sandbags to eliminate the nightmares of all the people who fell asleep in Smallville.
The residents of Smallville who were closer to the farm were also forced to use the back ruby to control their minds and temporarily move away.
Azu, Clark, Star-Lord, Loki, Thor, and Kara, who was called temporarily, were all deployed in the farm just in case.
Looking up at the sky where it was raining heavily, Peter looked down at his watch.
As the pointer pointed to the end, Peter's heart suddenly tightened.
Merlin, who was standing next to him as a "hostage", looked at Peter strangely.
"Swoosh!"
As the meteor shower came, the darkness of the sky was gradually replaced by bright colors.
