Detective Mei: "It's not difficult to do it, but isn't it a bit ...... to falsely claim to be the director of the séance department of the Magic Association?"

Lei Xiaogu: "......" - silent

Gordon: "......" - shook his head slightly

Zatana: "You think the sign is too big and too ostentatious?"

Gordon: "Yes, the tree is very popular, in case you run into someone from the Magic Association......"

Zatana: "Then you say that you are 'on a temporary job', and you have just arrived at the clock tower. ”

Gordon: "Huh, the chief lecturer of the Magic Association can still be 'suspended'?"

Zatana: "What's all the fuss about, there have been cases in history where a church priest transferred to the Magic Society as a 'dispatcher'. ”

Lei Xiaogu: "You know that very well. ”

Zatana: "Of course, I'm an insider. —smug

Lei Xiaogu: "......" - Crossing the ten fingers of both hands at the middle of the person under the nose, thinking (Commander Ikati's signature pose)

Agent Mei: "......" - waiting for the person concerned to make a statement

Gordon: "So...... So be it. —Yes

Two minutes later, in the backyard of the [Valentine] carpet shop

Zatana: "What are you doing with me?" - stop

Gordon: "I have something I want to ask you clearly. "—catch up

Zatana: "About your fake wizard status?"

Gordon: "Yes, it's inconvenient for me to say in front of the two of them just now, it only took you less than ten minutes from learning about the situation to proposing a plan......

Zatana: "Even so, I'm pretty sure, I'm relieved." —interrupted, confident

Gordon: "(Distinguishing between the Authentic and the False)...... Whose fake identity is I?"

Zatana: "Huh?" - I don't understand

Gordon: "Don't play dumb with me, you can build a complete profile in such a short period of time, and you can copy it without moving it." ”

Zatana: "Oh, even if I copied it, no one would find out here, don't worry." - Impatience

Gordon: "Could it be that you copied it...... (lowers his voice) Someone in the original world who actually exists?"

Zatana: "Yes. ”

Gordon: "Who is this man, and what does it have to do with you?"

Zatana: "Your questions are a bit too much~~"

Gordon: "I don't feel at ease if I don't ask clearly!"

Zatana: "Okay, okay...... Come on...... This man is one of my teachers in the original world, and the middle name of your false identity, El Melois, is taken from him. —whispered

Gordon: "Director of the Spirituality Department, first-level lecturer, proficient in séance, summoning and alchemy, with fire and earth attributes ......" - examples

Zatana: "That's right, that's right, these 'character settings' are from him. ”

Gordon: "(Seeing something different)...... Really?" - Yan sù

Zatana: "Pretty much all of them...... He has two attributes, wind and water, not fire and earth, and this is the only one that has been changed. "—Tell the truth

Gordon: "Oh, who is the one who has the attributes of fire and earth?"

Zatana: "What is who, can't I change it by hand?" - not happy

Gordon: "Why do you want to change it so much? According to you, people in this world won't find out about your copying, so you don't need to change it at all." Unless it's something you subconsciously want to change, you know someone in the original world who has the attributes of fire and earth. Maybe the "temporary position" is also the same as the "temporary position", but you met the priest of a certain church who transferred to the Magic Association in the form of a "dispatcher" in the original world. ”

Zatanna: "In order to highlight that you are a rare talent who excludes gold dust, I modified the original "human design" to the dual attributes of fire and earth...... But you're not completely mistaken, I do know the priest in the original world who transferred to the Magic Association in the form of a "dispatcher" and the "magician killer" who has the attributes of fire and earth, and it is the [Elmeloi] teacher who helped us 'tie the relationship'. ”

Gordon: "He introduced you to each other?"

Zatana: "Introduction...... (wry smile) I should say that I was caught up in it because of him. ”

Gordon: "Oh, there's a story here?"

Zatana: "Ugh. Although I don't want to admit it, it's all a mistake made because of my youth. —emotion

Gordon: "Tell me about it. ”

Zatana: "Okay...... Back then, in order to hide the truth about my father's death, I was forced to 'hide' (hidden by the gods) and disappear from the public eye. Two years later, when the limelight passed, the Big Six decided that it was not a problem to keep me under house arrest all the time, so they restored my personal freedom and sent me to study at the Clock Tower in London, where I received my [Serena Black] name. ”

Gordon: "Where did you meet Mr. Elmeloi?"

Zatana: "Well, that's how I met this high-minded, arrogant, careful-eyed, brick-called beast aura!"

Gordon: "Huh?"

Zatana: "He's an extremely old-fashioned bloodline-firster. Although it is generally accepted in the witchcraft world to judge the merits of a magician by his family lineage, teachers should not disdain certain students without discrimination. But in class, he borrowed and criticized the essay "The Road to Black Magic in the New Century" to openly insult us, and he had no teacher ethics at all. ”

Gordon: "What do we mean?"

Zatana: "I have no specific names with the author of "The Road to the New Century", a male classmate with only three generations of magician blood. ”

Gordon: "Forgot?"

Zatana: "I'm too lazy to remember the little people. ”

Gordon: "You weren't a big deal at the time. ”

Zatana: "But I came from a famous family, and I am a direct descendant of [Leonardo da Vinci], but I use a false identity and can't publicize it." What is he, [Aqipolud], who dares to look down on me! Compared to me, his title of 'genius' is nothing more than a joke!"

Gordon: "I don't know if it's a joke, but with your character, you must have gone to trouble the teacher afterwards, right?"

Zatana: "Yes, and the opportunity is coming soon. I inquired and learned that he was going to the Far East soon to participate in a magical survival race, a once-in-a-sixty opportunity. ”

Gordon: "Magical Survival Race?"

Zatana: "Two hundred years ago, three magician families joined forces to summon a "universal wishing machine" that was said to grant any wish in the far east, in what is now Fuyuki City, Japan. However, the "wishing machine" can only fulfill one person's wish, and the partnership immediately turns into a bloody struggle, resulting in the failure of the first summoning ceremony. From then on, the three families formed a covenant and made rules, which was the origin of this magical survival race. After that, the "Universal Wishing Machine" will come to Fuyuki City once every 60 years, select seven magicians who are eligible to get it, and lead the "Servants" they have summoned to engage in a battle for the ownership of the "Wishing Machine", and the winner who survives will take the ownership of the "Wishing Machine". —explained

Gordon: "Hmph, the Universal Wishing Machine, that's a good name, but in my opinion, it's something like "Monkey's Claw" (from Jacobs' short story "Monkey's Claw"). "—disdain

Zatana: "Yo, you know that. ”

Gordon: "Nonsense, I'm doing [Restart the Universe], how can I not understand the mystery inside? It's just that what kind of thing is this "Servant", the "Demon" summoned by the magician?"

Zatana: "No, the 'Servants' are much more advanced than the 'Demons', they are the beings that humans have become as a result of their gathering of beliefs. When they are summoned by the "World Roots" to 'manifest' as a force to protect humanity, they are called "Heroic Spirits", and when they are summoned by a magician to 'manifest' as part of the ritual (battle) of summoning the "Universal Wishing Machine", they are called "Servants". ”

Gordon: "What are the heroes and great men in history who have become the people of human beings who gather their faith?"

Zatana: "There are also people who have made certain contracts with the World Roots during their lifetime and become Heroic Spirits after death in return. Even if there is no zài, the heroes of myths, legends, etc., are born by gathering beliefs. Beings who become "Heroic Spirits" will be freed from the shackles of time and move to the Seat of Heroic Spirits, which is located outside the "World Root". ”

Gordon: "Oh...... So, does a magician need anything special to summon a "servant"?"

Zatana: "You need the corresponding "Holy Relic", after all, magicians need a medium to summon "demons". ”

Gordon: "I see, in retaliation, you stole your teacher's "holy relic", right?" - smirk

Zatana: "That's what little people do, it's not my style." ”

Gordon: "Your style is to make as much noise as possible?"

Zatana: "Yes, if you want to play, you can play big!" My goal is to completely unravel the ritual of summoning the Universal Wishing Machine, so that it completely dismantles and can no longer be activated!"

Gordon: "To show your 'genius' and make the teacher who usually looks down on you dumbfounded?"

Zatana: "Officially. ”

Gordon: "It's something a kid would do. ”

Zatana: "Didn't I say it before, it's all because I was young. —blushing

Gordon: "But then you're going to have to be hostile to the seven magicians who are participating. ”

Zatana: "It's not seven, it's six. ”

Gordon: "You're in this magical survival race?"

Zatana: "Yes, I joined the contest to smash the ritual from within. ”

Gordon: "I kind of know a little bit about strategy. ”

Zatana: "Yes, no matter how 'genius' I am, with my cultivation at that time, I can't be able to defeat one against seven, not to mention that they all have "servants" by their side......"

Gordon: "Then you co-opted a group, attacked a group, divided a group, and fought bloody battles one after another, and finally achieved the goal?"

Zatana: "No, you guessed wrong this time. In fact, I won over five families, persuaded one to retreat, and achieved the goal at the cost of zero fighting and no bloodshed. ”

Gordon: "Huh? How did you do that? This competition is clearly a zero-sum game...... "- for the first time, a surprised expression appeared on his face

Zatana: "The point is that the Servant I've summoned is different. ”

Gordon: "Your Servant has overwhelming power, and the Six Families are no match for each other?"

Zatana: "No, in terms of strength, this Servant I summoned is definitely the weakest. ”

Gordon: "The weakest? How do you know? Didn't you say zero fighting?"

Zatana: "Because the Servant I summoned is not a Heroic Spirit at all, but a living being. ”

Gordon: "Isn't that a violation of the rules?"

Zatana: "In my eyes, those rules are full of loopholes, and even [Aqipolud] has made changes to 'separate the two rights of 'Mana Supply' and 'Spell' and put them in the hands of two summoners, can I do it?"

Gordon: "Spells?"

Zatana: "The magician controls the killer and tight spell of the "Servant", and the "Servant" is much stronger than the magician in terms of combat ability, without it, it is very easy for the magician to be unable to control the "Servant", so the ritual will not be able to continue. ”

Gordon: "I also understand ...... Spell, tell me how you and the Living Servants you summoned achieved your goal with zero combat and no bloodshed. —back to the topic

Zatana: "It all started when I first arrived in Winterwood. In order to avoid the eyes of the Big Six, I came to Fuyuki City as a smuggler, but I did not stay in a hotel or stay at a local resident's house for fear of harming the innocent in the future battle, and I was accosted by a young man who was suave and decorated with leopard symbols everywhere in his clothes when I was 'wandering around' on the streets at night......

Gordon: "Phew~~" - whistle

Zatana: "I thought I had met a perverted leopard (wolf), and I wanted to play with him and teach him a lesson at the end, but the real face of that guy was a serial killer targeting young women, and seeing that I was a foreigner, I started to make up my mind. ”

Gordon: "......"

Zatana: "The guy who dares to beat Miss Ben with a crooked idea, there is no need to say the end." When I cleaned up the scene, I found out that this guy was still a witchcraft enthusiast, and there were all kinds of plausible magic circles drawn everywhere in the stronghold, and if he himself had the blood of a magician (he didn't pay attention to it), maybe he could really summon the "Servant" blindly and be selected by the "Wishing Machine......"

Gordon: "Ahem. - Fake cough

Zatana: "Sorry, digression. After that, I took possession of his stronghold, transformed it into my own magic workshop, and used the land as a basis to summon the exception of the "Living Servant". ”

Gordon: "Relying on the land, this "living servant" is a "local"?"

Zatana: "A 'future local', to be exact. ”

Gordon: "Future Man?"

Zatana: "Yes, didn't I say before, the Heroic Spirit is not bound by time, and it is possible to summon a Servant from the future in a normal ritual. ”

Gordon: "But the future Servant you summoned is a big living person. ”

Zatanna: "What's this, as long as she has the ability to 'spy on and interfere with the other side of the parallel world', 'share, use the magic of the great source of infinite parallel worlds', or a special magic weapon (gem sword) with a similar effect, I can 'pull' her from the other side." ”

Gordon: "She? This "living servant" is still a woman?"

Zatana: "The point is not here, okay? The point is that she can feel my presence on the other side, respond to my wishes, follow my call, and I summon a strategic "servant". Got it?"

Gordon: "...... Don't understand. ”

Zatana: "One more hint to you, the rank of this strategic Servant is [Caster]. ”

Gordon: "Magician?"

Zatana: "Yes, a local, futuristic, female magician. ”

Gordon: "She's related to the other six magicians who competed?"

Zatana: "You guessed it, she's the daughter of one of the magicians, and she's come back in time to save her father and sister at my call. ”

Gordon: "Her dad and her sister were supposed to die in this magical survival race?"

Zatana: "Her father is the only one who died, and her sister was adopted by her father to another magic family." And the magic family also sent people to participate in the competition this time, and the contestant had a very good relationship with the "living servant" when he was a child, and he could be said to be her 'long-legged uncle'. He himself died in this magical race for survival. ”

Gordon: "That means she can convince the two." ”

Zatana: "It's three, and the priest who transferred to the Magic Society as a 'dispatcher' is also one of the contestants, and his father is her father's ally. ”

Gordon: "There are two less." ”

Zatana: "My classmate who didn't compete also participated. As you said earlier, he stole the teacher's "holy relic" and ran to the competition without permission, hoping to show his strength and be recognized by everyone. ”

Gordon (belly): "You two, half a pound and eight taels." ”

Gordon: "...... The last one to join is your teacher?"

Zatanna: "Yes, in this case, he can't join our camp, the gap in the lineup is too big, and there is only one way to resist and die, he is a smart person." ”

Gordon: "Hahaha...... The least intelligent of the rest was also persuaded by you to quit?"

Zatanna: "No, that guy is a die-hard and won't give in to threats, so I can only reason with him." ”

Gordon: "Reasonable?"

Zatana: "Reveal to him the nature of the Universal Wishing Machine." ”

Gordon: "What about the Monkey's Claws?"

Zatana: "No, yours is too advanced for him to understand. By the way, he is the "magician killer" I mentioned earlier with the two attributes of fire and earth. ”

Gordon: "Then how do you ......?"

Zatana: "The key information from the future Living Servants has made a big difference. It turns out that at this time, the "Universal Wishing Machine" has been polluted by "all the evils of this world", and it can no longer fulfill the magician's wish as originally designed (advertised), and it will only bring disaster. The initiator of the pollution is the Magic Family that hired the "Magician Killer" to participate in the competition, and they cheated in the last competition and summoned the Eighth Rank "Servant" to pollute the "Universal Wishing Machine". ”

Gordon: "If that's true, he can't complain about anyone else." ”

Zatana: "Well, once this matter was confirmed, he didn't say a word, and ran away with his wife, daughter, Xiaomi, and "Servant". ”

Gordon: "...... After that, the six of you joined forces to completely dismantle the "Universal Wishing Machine?"

Zatana: "Yes, it's the long-awaited HappyEnd, congratulations, congratulations. ~\(≧▽≦)/~”

Gordon: "That's strange! With this kind of 'interference' of Cheng Dù, you want to change the past? I dare to assert that the father of the "living servant" will definitely die, and her 'long-legged uncle' will die even more, but it will die more miserably and more unforgettable for her. If you don't even take her sister together, you'll make her miserable!"

Zatanna: "Okay, okay, I wasn't young and ignorant at that time, and I only later understood the truth that her father (minister) must die, and I have already compensated her in this world......" - remembering the original world, "Uncle Longlegs" went out of control and screamed wildly, "You took away [Aoi] and you are not satisfied, and you still want to take away [Sakura]!!" The scene where he died with the father of the "Living Servant" was disappointed

Gordon: "You made up for her and made me miserable!"

Zatana: "Don't be so stingy, don't be so stingy, what's the point of worrying with me, your enemy is not me." ”

Gordon: "Hmph...... What happened to your teacher?"

Zatanna: "He...... After the contest, his beloved fiancée empathized with him and took his "Curse" (chopping off his hand) and eloped with his "Servant". He tried to redeem himself despite the pain, but failed, his fiancée and the "servant" were both martyred, he couldn't bear the double blow of body and spirit and became a waste, and died in a few years. "—Pleasure

Me (voiceover): "What a vicious bad woman who ruined her teacher...... Wait a minute, if according to the old guy's theory, the teacher's fate is actually his fate, and it has nothing to do with the 'interference' of the bad woman...... Huh?"—caught in a contradiction
