Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Sight of the Ancient One
Hearing Dante's scolding, Konstantin smiled indifferently.
"Scold, scold, everything is up to you, anyway, I handed over the House of Everything to you, damn it, I'm going to run away with Gary now, and when the Ancient One solves Dormammu's side, she will find the House of Everything in the direction of the sacrifice!"
Konstantin said as he put Gary, who had fainted on the couch, on his shoulder, and then he pulled his legs and left.
Dante was stunned, what the hell is going on?
"Stop me, Konstantin!"
Dante quickly rushed to Konstantin to block his way, and he reached out and grabbed Konstantin by the collar.
"Explain to me, why did the Ancient One come here, didn't you say that no one could find the House of Everything, didn't you say that people who were not allowed by you would never be able to find the House of Everything?"
"Hey!" Konstantin snorted dissatisfiedly, he freed up his hand and tried to pull Dante's palm away from his collar, but he failed, so he reluctantly explained: "It's true that no one can find the house without the permission of the owner of the house, but I have to explain, this." The master's not only me, he also includes all the previous owners of the House of Everything, how do I know what supernatural things happened to the master of the dark arts of which generation and that old witch of the Ancient One, all in all, I know that the Ancient One has the qualifications to enter the House of Everything, damn it, you have taken up too much of my time, I'm leaving!"
"Wait!"
Dante didn't let go of Konstantin, he asked eagerly.
"I have one more question, you're leaving when I'm done!"
"Hurry up!"
"Last night I met a demon with a black heart, his heart was exposed just outside his chest, he is very strong, have you ever heard of him!"
As soon as Dante's words fell, Konstantin frowned rarely.
"Dante!" he said solemnly, "I know that there is only one demon with the characteristics you say, but I really don't want you to have some conflict with him, it's not an enemy you can defeat!"
"Hurry up!"
Dante, just like Konstantin just now, urged impatiently, and Konstantin licked his lips with difficulty.
"The demon you are talking about, its name is Blackheart, but he prefers to be called the Witchheart Demon, it is rumored that he is the son of Mephisto, and it is said that he has one-tenth of the control of Mephisto hell, I really don't want to see you die at his hands, well, if there is no other problem, then you can let me go!"
"Also, Gotham opened a gate to hell the day before yesterday, do you know about it, a very strong demon ran out of the door, I need a new divination tool to find it, do you have anything like the Bracer of Fate?"
"Fuck off!" Constantine erupted, throwing Gary on his shoulder to the ground, and then he tried to pull Dante's collar, but when he found that Dante's hands were clamping his collar so that he couldn't touch Dante's collar, he had to reach out to Dante's face.
"You bastard, what I gave you is the most valuable inheritance of the previous generation of astrologers, you actually played it bad in less than a month, no, there is absolutely nothing else, if you really need divination, you better inquire about Liv's whereabouts!"
"By the way, Constantine, there's a devil in Atlanta, and it's your friend named Gary who brought it here, and after you leave with him, you'd better find time to get rid of this devil!"
"OK!" Konstantin nodded quickly, he just wanted to stay away from the scene of the crime as far as possible while the ancient one hadn't come yet!
Dante heard Constantine's answer, and he let go of Constantine, only to see Constantine, who had escaped from the restraints, quickly drag Gary away, who was waking up from a fall.
Dante looked depressedly in the direction Konstantin had left, he walked to the table, looked at Zed, who was fading in life, and sighed softly.
"Maybe it's the death of the rabbit and the fox, seeing you suffer the same fate as me, but you and I will usher in completely different consequences, I suddenly no longer fear the eternal purgatory that once made me extremely painful, you only entered it for less than a second, and you have completely surrendered to the boundless loneliness of purgatory, and I have sunk from the last universe to the present, but I can still hold on to the end!"
Dante reached out and stroked Zede's forehead, and he silently looked at Zede's wide, godless eyes and muttered softly.
"I know very well now that even if I am banished to purgatory again, I will still be able to hold out from it until the day I come out, and he can only defeat those who can be defeated by him, but I am not among them!"
"That's a good point!"
Suddenly another voice appeared in the room, it was a calm and elegant female voice, Dante looked in the direction of the voice, and he saw a woman wearing a yellow mage robe and a yellow hood.
"This is the third time I've seen you, but it's the first time you and I have met, in the lower ancient one!"
"Dante!"
Dante said his name softly, and then, he stretched out his right hand to the Ancient One, and the faint power of the Ancient One made Dante a little excited, even if his outstretched right hand was already bruised.
Of course, this is not fear, this is just pure excitement, the kind of excitement that can be challenged, Dante saw the energy intensity of the ancient one, even at the level of the gods, the ancient one was by no means an ordinary weak god.
By the way, the current universe does not follow the realm of gods, they are multiverse-level powerhouses!
When the ancient one saw Dante's outstretched right hand, she reached out and shook Dante lightly with an unchanged face.
"You look nervous, do you believe Konstantin's words?" said the ancient one, with a pure smile on her face, she continued: "For Konstantin, I always admit that he has a good talent for magic, but I will never admit that his character is worthy of that talent, he obviously does not like me, as he just said, he even wants to kill me with his own hands, just because I have withdrawn his magic power, but I don't think about the reason why I did it!"
"I don't want to discuss the contradiction between you and Constantine, Ancient One Mage, not to mention that I'm not nervous, I'm just a little excited, the instinct of a warrior makes me keep trying to challenge you in my mind!"
Dante said as he walked to the kitchen and took out two glasses, then he took out a bottle of red wine, and without any extra measures, he poured the red wine directly into the glass and handed it to the ancient one.
"You may not have a drink to your liking, but if you don't mind, red wine is a good choice!"
Looking at the wine glass handed over by Dante, Gu Yi took it first, only to see that the wine glass was in Gu Yi's hand for less than a second, and the red wine in the glass had disappeared, and at the same time, the red wine bottle in Dante's hand was inexplicably much heavier.
"I haven't drunk in years, and I'm tired of drinking too much!"
Gu Yi said lightly, she casually threw the empty wine glass in her hand behind her, the wine glass did not fall to the ground, and it was not broken as Dante imagined, it disappeared!
Dante glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the kitchen, the wine he had poured was back in the bottle, and the glass should have returned to the kitchen, Dante sniffed the red wine in his hand, and it didn't change at all, as if he had never poured out this glass of wine, and their return didn't change the taste of the whole bottle at all.
However, Dante is more concerned about the content of the ancient words than these wines, she says that she has seen herself for the third time, the first two times are naturally death and the tweets sent by Ganata, which goes without saying, the main thing is, how did she know what Konstantin said before leaving?
"You've been here for a long time, haven't you?"
Dante said as he reached out to Zede on the table.
"I guess you've been here since the beginning of your consciousness, and only then can you hear Konstantin's words, and that's why Konstantin chose to leave after the ritual was interrupted, he is the performer of the magic ritual, and he must know exactly where the person who broke his ritual is!"
In the face of Dante's question, the ancient one nodded slightly.
"It's true that I've been here just when Konstantin just called out to Dormammu, but for some reason, we'll never be able to meet!"
As she spoke, she reached out and lifted her hood, her bald head and face that looked like she was about forty years old completely appeared in front of Dante, only to see her gently roll up her sleeves, revealing her slender and old arms, her hands quickly interlaced, and a row of golden magic threads suddenly appeared in the air, which continued to overlap together, forming one complex magic array after another.
"Dormammu is my old enemy, I have fought against him for more than two thousand years, and whenever there is a little bit of his breath in the solar system, I can always feel it instantly!"
As he spoke, Gu Yi stretched out his hand and slapped the circle in front of him, which expanded violently and rushed towards Dante, who instantly pulled out his rebellion.
I saw that the rebellious dark black sword was covered with a thick layer of silver magic, Dante blocked the long sword in front of him, but when the golden circle touched Dante, the collision he imagined did not happen, and the golden circle of the ancient one passed through Dante's body, rushed to the table, and covered the entire table along with Zede on the table.
"I don't have any affection for you, but I don't mean anything to me, so you don't have to be so wary of me!"
As she spoke, her hands slid along in some mysterious trajectory, only to see the magic circle covering the entire table spread violently, and the golden light spread all over the house, and even Dante's silver hair seemed to be dyed golden by the golden light.
Dante vigilantly felt the magic around him, he silently and quickly analyzed the intention of this magic, you have no ill will towards me now, it does not mean that you and I will not have disputes in the future.
"You're still guarding against me, Dante!"
The ancient one sighed, she crossed Dante and came to Zed's side, only to see her reach out and pluck one of Zede's hair, and then hold the hair in the palm of her hand, a new circle appeared on her hand, and with the generation of this circle, the whole room gradually disappeared, and when the golden light was all gone, Dante saw that he had come to a world full of red!
"Damn it!" Dante scolded fiercely, "You sent me back to purgatory!"
"No!" Gu Yi said softly, "This is not purgatory, this is not even a perfect world, this is not another dimension, this is just the heart of the girl in front of me!"
"The girl in front of you?"
Dante muttered, and with his whispering, the whole world began to move rapidly, Dante seemed to be watching an infinitely fast-forward documentary, he saw the whole world seemingly unchanged but with a trace of change, until a dark gray soul appeared in front of his eyes lying on the ground.
"What's this girl's name?" asked the Ancient One.
Dante looked at the black-gray soul on the ground and whispered.
"Zed!"
