Chapter 555

The circus is a classic representative of the last century. But as time goes on, it's gradually declining. In fact, circuses have become rare at this time of year. Only in some towns and villages there are sporadic circus performances.

Television began to spread and was a great satisfaction for people's visual entertainment. The number of people willing to pay to go to the circus is rapidly decreasing. And the circus displays things that were weird and magical in the last century seem like that to modern people.

In a township near Gotham, a circus is running half-dead.

This is the sixth township they have been touring. The first five were able to barely maintain a balance of payments. But the sixth one has completely failed to make ends meet.

Most of the circus members are drowsy. It's not that I don't want to move, but I can maintain my strength this way. Because they now only have one meal a day.

Of course, Su Yuan estimated that this was also related to the composition of the circus. The owner of the circus was a little girl of seventeen or eighteen. He wears a small purple and black suit uniform, and a short leather skirt that exposes her thighs on the lower body. Two long legs, wrapped in black silk, and black high-heeled leather boots on the feet.

However, this typical dusty dress does not feel glamorous when put on the girl. On the contrary, there is a quirky feel to it.

Her name is Zatana. Zatara is the owner of this circus.

Originally, this kind of dress was definitely able to attract customers. However, except for this girl, the rest of the circus were female men such as bearded men. A crocodile man covered in scales that can scare children into crying. Eccentric and short-tempered, only fifty centimeters in length dwarf. And the clown, who can tell less than three jokes.

There is also a group of people with disabilities left. Crippled, mute, blind of all kinds. It doesn't look like a circus, but it's more like a deformed refugee camp. Even the few monkeys in the cage in the back, the tigers, also looked weak and offended. There is no beastly temperament at all.

There is no doubt that the little girl is definitely a kind-hearted boss. It's a pity that people with disabilities, and crocodile people, this kind of thing is not the same kind of people. They also don't bring revenue to the circus. And in order to feed these burdens, her circus has been unable to make ends meet.

In this state, Su Yuan walked into the circus with Diana.

The little girl who was dozing off suddenly jumped off the stage.

"Hurry up, hurry up, all up. There are guests coming. The little girl screamed and woke up the sleepy employee.

"Welcome." As the boss, she personally stepped forward to greet the guests. "We have a magic show here, a beast tamer, a strong man, a crocodile man, ......" After a quick explanation, she quickly led the two to their seats, and then didn't ask Su Yuan and Diana what they were watching, and directly started to perform.

"She's a magician?" Although Diana is a magical idiot, she is also a god of war, so she can naturally feel the huge magic power of the little girl Zatana.

"Yes, and not your average magician. Their family is the closest thing to the origin of magic in this world. ”

"You said before that you owe a favor, it's about her?"

"Pretty much. When I banished the Tricksters, I used the Irony magic. And it's a twisted application. Let the tricksters themselves pronounce their own anti-names. I've studied this kind of magic, but I can't do it. The witch god helped me. ”

"I don't remember this deity?" In Diana's memory, there was no such god among the major gods.

"Of course, this is the name that is most taboo among the major gods. Because the original origin of the Protoss of this world actually came from her.

After the birth of Hecate, the witch god, she sensed another dark force born at the same time as her, the Hanged Man. To avoid the prying eyes of the Hanged Man, she came to Earth and brought her first magic. It was the initial magic that was close to the origin. The earthlings who master those magic are the original gods of this world. ”

Speaking of which, Diana already had a certain guess.

"Let me guess that the gods betrayed their creators?"

"That's right. It's almost a necessity. Hekate is a primordial creature who can never understand the greed and darkness of humans and even gods. The more generously she satisfies the faithful, the stronger the gods' greed for her becomes. Eventually, they sealed her away in an attempt to take her power.

However, the difference in personality makes those who betray fail. But Hekat was not free. The betrayal of the believers, plus the betrayal of her lover Hades also betrayed her. It made her lose herself in hatred.

She forcibly broke through the barrier she had set up to defend herself against the hanged man. A hint of dark magic is introduced for the Hanged Man. This dark magic is actually the origin of most of the magic on Earth in the future. ”

"Now that she's fallen, how did you communicate with her?"

"What I traded with me was the last good thought in her consciousness. She still has a lineage on Earth. It's this little girl in front of me. After the dark magic entered the world. The betrayers peer into this dark magic.

However, the magic of darkness is far less accessible than Hecate's. So they gathered the original Dark Origin magic and created a helmet called the Helm of Destiny. Further on, the dark magic escaped, and declined, beginning to be mastered by some. These people gradually replaced Hecate's original lineage. Evolved into a myriad of schools of magic. ”

"What's the point of doing that? She is not a deity in the traditional sense. Whether it is forgotten or supported by countless believers, it doesn't mean much to her. What's more, she never broke away from the seal. ”

"It really doesn't make sense. But she was ready to do something. Her dark side seems to have found a way to break through the seal. Once she succeeds, she will completely retract the barrier she set up back then, introduce the hanged man, and destroy the world that once betrayed her. ”

Diana fell into a kind of silence.

"I understand her good side, and she wants to find an inheritor to stop this. It's this little girl. There was an indescribable meaning in Diana's eyes.

"Do you feel it? It doesn't matter if it's life, or it's magic. The older it is, the purer it is. The earliest forms of magic, in a single word, were capable of distorting reality and destroying the world. In the earliest life, there was only love and hate in the heart.

Looking at the present, the complexity of human nature has created the progress and diversity of this world. But what does it bring to the table? Greed, depravity, destruction......"
