Chapter 20: The Death of Ronan
"What the hell is going on with me, now you can say!"
Sitting in a chair in the study, Dante smiled at the nervous Oliver in front of him.
Hearing Dante's words, Oliver nodded, pursed his lips, and then said.
"You're friends with Konstantin!"
"That's right, my friends know about this, Konstantin is the first person on earth to know me!"
"That'...... He's told you about me, hasn't he?"
"No, on the contrary, to be honest, I only found out your name this morning, and it wasn't Konstantin who took the initiative to mention it to us!"
Dante spoke, putting his hand on his lap, only to see him shake Erlang's leg and finally continue.
"The reason why I heard you from Konstantin's mouth is because of another thing, I have a friend who was a soldier, his best comrade-in-arms disappeared a few years ago, and even the state system can't find the last mission record of that comrade-in-arms!"
Speaking of which, Dante saw that Oliver's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately guessed, I am afraid that there is really a warrior who has left a very important place in Oliver's heart, as for whether that warrior is Slade or not, he will know immediately!
"My friend has been inquiring about his comrade-in-arms for the past few years, and coincidentally, his missing comrade-in-arms is still another friend of mine and his brother, to be precise, they are half-brothers, and my subordinate is called Wade Wilson!"
"Hell!"
Oliver roared, he would never forget the Wilson surname, the man, the man he owed so much, Slade!
"Are you talking about Wade, is that Slade's brother?"
Oliver asked, which made Dante smile thoughtfully.
"That's right, the person my friends are looking for is indeed called Slade Wilson, and now, they have also embarked on a journey to find Purgatory Island, if I guess correctly, Oliver, your life in the past three years of disappearance is not as simple as you say in the news, you must know Constantine, that guy never appears in small trouble!"
Dante said, stood up and patted Oliver on the shoulder, his action made Oliver sigh depressedly, yes, when Oliver and Constantine met, it was really not a small trouble!
However, the troubles encountered when I met Konstantin really can't be compared to the troubles I encountered when I met Slade!
"Dante, you ...... Do you have to find Slade, even if he is ...... It becomes a little ...... Not the same?"
Oliver thought for a moment and addressed Dante, who nodded noncommittally.
"It seems that you really know Slade's whereabouts, that's right, I don't know what you're worried about, you can't have killed Slade yet!"
"I ...... I do know Slade's whereabouts, but even if I don't say it, you who already know about Purgatory Island will definitely be able to find him on that island, and I have been locked up there for about two years now!"
"Haha, that's good, no need to say more, I can see that you are still a little jealous of this matter, don't worry, I won't meddle in this matter, and I will respect your thoughts, man, since you have already told me that Slade is on Purgatory Island, then you have done enough, I promise you, after rescuing Slade, no matter what happened between you, I will settle that matter, man, you have to believe that I have that strength!"
Dante smiled, and his words made Oliver let out a long breath, and Oliver finally sat down across from Dante, knowing that he had been standing nervously not long ago.
When Oliver sat down, Dante clapped his hands, drawing Oliver's attention.
"Okay, Slade Wilson's affairs are over, now let's talk about you, I'm quite interested in your life in the past few years, why don't you pick something you can expose and share with me. ”
"There's nothing that can't be exposed, especially in front of you, Dante, you're not like them, right!"
Oliver smiled wryly at Dante.
"I was shipwrecked three years ago, when my father and I were playing near the South China Sea, and after the ship was wrecked, I drifted to Purgatory Island!"
"And then you met Slade?"
"No, Slade is a friend of my teacher, my teacher is a middle-aged man, he lived on that island long before I fell to Purgatory Island, which was originally a training ground in China, and then after it was abandoned, it was occupied by some evil organization!"
"Aha, I see, and then you guys are on this island to save yourself and fight crime by the way, haha, man, you have the potential to become a superhero, what a suitable story setting!"
Dante teased that his words made Oliver completely stunned, and then, Dante saw Oliver's current expression, and Oliver was looking at Dante with a "how do you know!" look!
"Oh my God!"
Looking at Oliver's eyes, Dante was a little surprised!
"You don't really think so, you don't really plan to be a superhero, your eyes are very similar to my disciple now, hell, your Star City won't be as chaotic as Gotham, right?"
"Your disciple?"
Hearing Dante's words, Oliver was stunned, and then he was shocked!
"Gotham, God, the disciple you're talking about can't be Batman, my God!"
"Haha, what do you think, but I can still accept him having this kind of thought, because I have seen Gotham with my own eyes, Gotham is too chaotic, there is a need for Batman to appear, but Star City, I don't know, it looks good here!"
Dante commented that in his opinion, in a place like Gotham, even if you pick ten random people on the street and kill three of them randomly, you will never make a mistake!
However, Star City should not be as terrible as Gotham, especially now that Malcolm and Lei Xiaogu are in Star City, since they have plans to change and manage Star City, then Dante thinks that with their strength, Star City should not be able to make any waves!
Thinking so, Dante heard Oliver speak, only to see Oliver nod, then shook his head.
"You're just talking about one aspect, Mr. Dante, Star City is indeed much safer and more stable than Gotham City, but this stability of Star City is deformed, because Star City has completely gone the wrong way decades ago!"
"Going the wrong way, how do you explain it?"
"Dante, if you can investigate the crime rate in Star City, then you will find that the crime rate in the entire Star City is terrifyingly low, because all the crimes in Star City are concentrated in one district of Star City!"
Oliver said earnestly, his words intriguing Dante, and Dante waved his hand for Oliver to continue.
"I don't know why I'm talking to you about this, maybe your superhero identity and your past behavior have infected me, in short, decades ago, the rich people of Star City joined forces to concentrate all the criminal and poor people in Star City in the slums of Star City, at that time they thought that they could slowly crush the slums of Star City, and finally reach the point of making Star City crystal clear, but they did it wrong!"
"Something wrong, I like it, if Batman does the same, he will save a lot of trouble!"
Dante quipped, in fact, he also understood what Bruce meant, and that bringing together countless poor and sinners would of course create a greater danger!
"Okay, Dante, I admit that among the families who planned the slums at the beginning, the Quinn family and the Merlin family accounted for the largest proportion, and both of our families made mistakes, so that now the slum tail is too big, just the local armed forces and underworld forces in the slums can completely confront the entire public security system of Star City, and even so, the crime rate in the slums is still increasing, and even the scope of this crime has spread to countless neighborhoods around the slums!"
"So you're worried that the slums will cover the whole city in the future?"
"No, their influence has covered the whole city, Mr. Dante, yesterday when my friend Tommy and I went to a bar in the slums for a drink, we encountered no less than ten crimes in just two and a half hours, Star City and the slums have almost become two cities, but now the influence of the slums is getting bigger and bigger!"
"It's disgusting!"
Dante sighed, and he couldn't help but reach out and put his forehead on his forehead.
"Actually, I've always wanted to say, why don't you learn from the Chinese government in this regard, I've traveled to China, right, at that time I noticed that China's law and order has always been very good, a simple and complete ban on guns has made small and medium-sized gangs lose the power of large-scale armed conflict with the Chinese police, this is actually something you can learn from!"
"It's too late!"
Oliver sighed, he longed for the China in Dante's words, and at the same time, his teacher and the woman he had failed to live up to were also Chinese, and he had extremely unusual feelings for China!
"It's too late to think about that, I can only try to solve the crime problem in the slums now, but you gave me a reference for this, maybe I can also learn from Batman, his presence has added a terrifying shadow to all the dark heads of Gotham!"
"Hehe......!"
Listening to Oliver's plan, Dante sneered, like Bruce, hehe, not everyone is qualified to be his disciple!
As for whether the young man in front of him has such qualifications, Dante no longer plans to consider it, not only because the current Dante has long had no intention of accepting apprentices, but also because the current Dante is too strong and no ordinary person can withstand his blood, and the appearance of Bruce is both an accident and the most appropriate coincidence!
At that time, although Bruce was down, he had been exercising, and his physical fitness was very good, much stronger than ordinary people, and Dante at that time was still very weak, very weak, and it was at that time that Dante's blood happened to be accepted by Bruce, if it was replaced now, Dante's blood was enough to support dozens of former Bruce!
After Dante retrieved his angelic blood from God, Dante regained the full power of Nephilim, and he still had three kinds of blood, angelic, demonic, and a mixture of the two that only belonged to Dante, and it was the third one he gave to Bruce at the beginning, and now, no one can bear Dante's blood to start Dante's legacy!
Ao, by the way, speaking of which, I have to mention it, in fact, in addition to Bruce, there is another person in Dante's mind, that is, Thor who now has only one head left, and the blood that carries Dante's blood and power has destroyed Thor's Aesar god body, after Thor helped Dante hack Odin to death, Dante really wanted Thor to become his second apprentice, otherwise, Dante would not have re-cultivated Thor back!
Although his so-called cultivation is to soak Thor in a broken bathtub to recover slowly, and the nutrients he provides for Thor are still fish food!
Oops, I forgot if he was pouring fish food or dog food in the bathtub in the first place!
I don't want to think about that, anyway, now Dante looked at Oliver funny.
"Do you think you can be the Batman of Star City?"
He asked, and there was no trace of shame on Oliver's face.
"No, I'm not the Batman of Star City, I'm just myself!"
As he spoke, Oliver opened the door to the bedroom, and saw him walk to the bed, and take out a long, narrow box from under the bed, and he stood in front of Dante with the box, and then he gently opened the box.
"Tut-tut, this is a weapon that has slaughtered a lot of lives!"
Looking at the green longbow in the box, Dante nodded approvingly, unlike the common composite bows in modern society, Oliver's bow is completely primitive, and the bow body of this bow is wrapped in green cloth for non-slip and protection, and those fabrics are full of traces of use!
"This is my weapon, I am not a weakling, in my past three years, I have not lived on an uninhabited island, I have undergone extremely difficult training, I have completed countless impossible missions, and in my last mission, I even participated in the war between superheroes and mutants, so I am not qualified to protect Star City!"
Oliver roared excitedly, he could see that he was really happy now, he had hidden these secrets for a long, long time, and now, he finally met someone who could tell them out!
"Dante, I have never told anyone about these things, but I would like to share them with you, I should have died in those difficult missions a long time ago, but what you did in Gotham changed my worldview, it was your presence that gave me the strength to continue fighting, it was your public identity that opened the door to a new world for me, after that, I was determined to return to my hometown, since I already have good powers, then I should use these powers to protect my city and my family, rather than do black work for the damn government department!”
"That's right, man, it's better to be yourself, right, I'm glad you told me your secret, so I'm going to give you a gift!"
Looking at Oliver with a determined face in front of him, Dante decided to give a little reward to the determined man, so he stood up casually, and snatched Oliver's tight longbow with a raised hand!
"I've used bows and crossbows, and I've had a lot of experience with how to modify this weapon, so what do you think of me giving you a stronger bow, a bow with magic and my powers?"
Dante ignored Oliver, who was robbed of the longbow by him, he didn't care about Oliver's weakness because he was easily disarmed, he saw him bite his finger casually, and the next moment, he used his bleeding finger to carve powerful magic runes on Oliver's bow and arrow, in just half a minute, Oliver's longbow bloomed with brilliant golden light, and after the light dissipated, Oliver was shocked to find ......!
Nima, his longbow actually sprouted, really sprouted!
