Chapter 207: A Secret Base That Is Not Hidden at All
Signing the contract is, of course, Ethan's casual nonsense.
If Thea and Ethan sign a contract, they can also be like those mages in the Marvel Universe, and they can gain powerful magic by signing a contract with the power of the Alternate Plane.
In that case, Thea is equivalent to Ethan's 'little brother', but compared to directly contributing faith and then 'borrowing' power from the gods, this way of signing a contract is more binding on both parties, and the contractor must not violate any of the contents of the contract after signing the contract.
But correspondingly, as long as it does not violate the contents of the contract, even if the contractor uses these powers against the god who gave them power, there is no problem, and the god cannot deprive him of his power.
The most typical examples are the Ancient One and Dormammu.
This situation is fundamentally different from the belief in gods and their followers, such as Casillas, who betrayed the Ancient One, is closer to offering his faith, so he will be taken care of by Dormammu.
If these details were not for a professional like Ethan to popularize science, with Oliver's barren mysterious knowledge and Thea, who didn't understand it at all, would definitely not understand.
Even Ethan can trick Thea into signing a completely unequal contract, and it is not very difficult to turn her into his own slave.
"You should be glad I'm not that tasteless. ”
Ethan was half-leaning on a table, playing with a sharpened arrow in his hand, and popularizing all kinds of knowledge to the two magic novices in front of him.
"I am telling you this to remind you that when dealing with people who have mysterious powers, don't make promises or sign anything, it is likely to be a big hole. ”
"Thank you for the reminder. ”
Oliver now came to believe that Ethan really had no ill will towards him, because Ethan had the right way to clean them up, and did not attack them directly, which was enough to prove that the other party did not want to be his enemy, and to put it bluntly, there was no need for people to waste all this time and energy on themselves.
Thea thanked her as well, and then she asked the question she had always wanted to ask, "So how can I learn magic?"
"Diligent study and hard work...... And, of course, a certain amount of talent. ”
Magical knowledge attaches great importance to talent, and it is difficult for people with insufficient talent to even get started, but Ethan's own experience plus so many years, he has also taught several students one after another, and he already has a relatively rich teaching experience, as long as the talent is not bad to a certain extent, he can teach it.
What's more, the two talents in front of him are not bad: Oliver has been exposed to magic, and his talent in this area is not top-notch, but it is also more than most people.
Thea's situation is similar, not the top, but it is a better category among ordinary people.
In most of the wizarding world, the quality of these two is enough for them to become apprentices and enter the wizarding world, of course, this is also related to the fact that most mages need 'cheap labor', and those mages don't care if they can actually learn anything.
"So...... Can I learn magic?"
"Yes. ”
Thea was glad that she had the opportunity to learn this legendary knowledge, and she was so excited that she wanted to start learning it right away.
"What should I learn first?"
In her mind, the first step in learning magic would be to read thick books that must have written words that she couldn't read at all, and a lot of tongue-twisting spells, and then Ethan would ask her to memorize them all.
It's scary to think about, but Thea feels like she can do it.
However, the truth was completely different from what she thought, Ethan did not give her any books that looked heavy, but let her exercise.
"Aren't you studying magic?"
"Your body is so poor, if you don't exercise well, such a fragile body won't be able to support you to continue cultivating. ”
Ethan then explained the relationship between the body and the spirit, to the effect that if the body is not strong enough, the mental power will not be much stronger, and the cultivation and learning of magic not only consumes the spirit, but also a huge test of physical fitness.
"Have you ever heard of a magician who died suddenly when he was studying magic because of his poor health? ”
“......”
Thea found that she really couldn't think of such an example, so things went in a direction that made her feel speechless:
Thea, who wants to learn some kung fu to defend herself, is disgusted by Oliver and Ethan because her body is too weak.
Ethan then says she has a special talent for learning the basics of magic first. Learning magic was also a good, if not better, option, so Thea decided to learn magic.
Next, in order to learn magic, Thea had to work hard to get her body ......
Going around and around, she was dizzy, and in a trance she felt that she might have been fooled, but thinking about it, she didn't seem to have anything worth thinking about?
Unable to think of an answer, Thea honestly carried out basic physical training.
The initial training volume is not large, and you don't need to practice in a specific place, you can do long-distance running at home to build endurance, and at the same time, under the guidance of Oliver, you will start to gradually improve your strength.
During this time, Oliver also began to go out as Green Arrow, solving his first goal at a party hosted for him by his friend Tommy Merlin.
At this time, Thea was still struggling with dumbbells.
"I think my physical strength has become a lot stronger, do you want to continue?"
Ethan nodded, and shoved a magic stone into his mouth again.
"I've always wondered, what do you eat regularly, and it looks like candy?"
"Yes, I'm curious too. ”
Thea was still lifting the dumbbells, and the sudden appearance of a strange male voice made her almost throw the dumbbells in her hand, but the reason why she didn't really throw them out was that the thing was too heavy, and the dumbbells smashed directly to the surface of her feet after taking it off.
Although this little dumbbell is not heavy, it will hurt if it hits the foot, but this dumbbell did not hurt Thea, and hovered in mid-air when it fell halfway, and then slowly rose in front of Thea.
"Thank you. ”
Although I have seen it a few times, and I also know that the video screen Ethan showed to himself is not an advanced technological product, it is also magic, but every time I see this magical scene, I am still amazed. At the same time, after every exclamation, she is more motivated to work hard, hoping that she will have such an ability as soon as possible.
"It's 'my own people' this time?"
"Yes!"
Oliver was sorting out his equipment, and he was no longer surprised by the sudden appearance of the so-called 'own people', his secret base was like a park, and anyone could come and see it.
It was a little different from the last time Ida appeared, although the man who appeared this time also jumped directly from the hole, he did not land quickly, but fell lightly like a feather.
"Magic?"
"Oh, good eye. ”
A middle-aged man with a beard and brown glasses walked over slowly, and Oliver recognized it as the 'Tony Stark', another of Ethan's companions.
"How many people have you told me about this place?"
"You think too much, they don't need me to tell you if they want to find this place, it's not a smart choice for you to arrange the secret base in the basement of an abandoned factory under your name. ”
If someone wants to check, they can find it with a little checking, which is the root cause of Green Arrow's secret base being attacked several times: this place is easy to find.
Listening to Ethan's evaluation, Oliver also began to think about whether he should change to a more secret place, after all, as soon as he returned to Star City, Green Arrow appeared, and those who wanted to investigate would definitely notice this.
He has already begun to think about some cover-ups, but this can only deceive some ordinary people, and those who really want to target him can still find a lot of clues.
What's more, the people I face don't need any clues to do things in many cases, and even if they find the wrong thing, they just accidentally hurt some innocent civilians, and they don't care about these at all.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
"What?" Ethan saw Thea staring at him as well, and then he wondered what the two of them cared about: "You said this?"
Thea didn't recognize it, it seemed to her to be a gem, and Tony immediately recognized it as a magic stone.
"That's what you've been stuffing a lot of in your mouth lately?"
"How?"
Stuffed it into his mouth again, and then the corners of Tony's mouth twitched as Ethan clucked and swallowed the magic stone directly into his stomach, listening to the sound really like he was eating some snack.
"There's energy in this thing, and you know I'm 'growing my body.'" ”
"So until your god body grows up again, you're going to eat this thing as a snack?"
"Almost. ”
"What is a magic stone?"
"An ore that looks like a gemstone, but is rich in energy. ”
"What you eat as a snack is actually a stone?"
Oliver stood next to him and didn't say a word, now he only felt a pain in his head, Ada was only a lot of people when he came, I don't know why as soon as this Tony Stark appeared, this place suddenly became as lively as the wholesale market.
"Tony, what's the matter with you?"
"Oh, don't you say I almost forgot!" Tony suddenly remembered something, took off his sunglasses, and then looked back and forth at Oliver Quinn, who was standing not far in front of him: "I'm done with things over there, so I'll meet this Mr. Oliver Quinn if I don't have anything to do, you know I'm here for him this time." ”
"Coming for me?" sounds easily misleading, and Oliver wonders if he has something to do with this person.
"Don't get me wrong!" Tony casually explained, "I'm just curious about superheroes who don't have special abilities." ”
