Konstantin pushed open the door to the Oblivion Bar, which is located in a pocket universe with portals to almost any major city in the world, so the mages are happy to stop by for a drink and exchange information on the wizarding world when they have nothing to do, and the captain of the Shadow Pact, the leader of the magical dimension, Maia, is the owner of the master.

Konstantin is as usual among the guests who are not welcome here.

"How dare you come here......" The bartender at the bar, a furry primate who is actually an orangutan detective who is a talking high-intelligence orangutan, was wiping his wine glass next to the bar, and saw Konstantin come in, and was surprised: "Is the Konstantin expulsion spell behind the door invalid?" ”

"No wonder I stepped on shit when I walked in!" Konstantin didn't care, he had an uninhibited temperament.

"A bottle of cheap whiskey! Bobo ......"

The orangutan detective has a really good temper, it is known as the Sherlock Holmes of animals, has a strong sense of justice, and also has a very high IQ, it can be said that it has all the elements of a DC Universe villain, IQ, blackening and death-free golden body - it is an animal, and the Justice League has many animal protectionists, and it is much better for animals than people.

But precisely because Detective Orangutan is a hero with a sense of justice, it is incompatible with Zakang, who only has a unique sense of humor, three views close to the gray area, and is not black or white, which is commonly known as dark heroes and anti-heroes.

"Can you afford to pay? If you can afford it, you can just hand it over to the counter, which is a magic counter, and it will automatically fill your cup when you collect the money......" The orangutan detective replied angrily.

Konstantin smiled grimly: "Can't you treat me to a drink?" Wave? ”

"You shouldn't be here...... Constantine! The owner of the bar, Master Night, spoke: "If you have something to do, of course I can treat you to a drink, if not, you will have to pay the bill!" ”

"Wait two weeks...... I'll give you the money. Konstantin continued to sip his cigarette.

"I'm here to get some news, as you all know, I've spent more time with those guys in the Justice League than the average magician, and I've been learning some news from my little guy lately. I was convinced that there was some kind of potential threat, an undercurrent, surging through the world of magic. "Konstantin, without exception, is making up nonsense again.

Half-bluffing, half-serious, he asked the Night Master, "Have you ever felt the root of magic?" ”

The Night Master came to Konstantin and said solemnly, "What do you know...... Don't expect to fool me with a little bit of chasing after the wind, if you know anything, you should be honest. ”

The orangutan detective said, "I think honestly these words have nothing to do with him!" ”

Konstantin said: "The Justice League has found the origin of the speed force, and they have also found the origin of the emotional spectrum power used by those people in the Green Lantern Legion...... You know whose ...... I'm talking about."

The orangutan detective was dissatisfied: "Don't fool us with this kind of gossip...... but the Night Master was silent!

The Night Master motioned for the Orangutan Master to suspend his attacks on Konstantin, and he looked at Zakang and said seriously, "You want to ask about the Prophet?" ”

The Night Master ignored Konstantin's answer, he turned his back to himself, and explained to himself, "You know that our world is made up of a bunch of madmen, madmen, and ...... The mages are made up, unlike the world where the Justice League is located, their world is under the sun, there are good guys and bad guys, fighting crime and madmen, and completing the feat of saving the world, which is black and white. And our world, in the shadows, is even more bizarre and ...... Confusion. ”

"It allows us to discover those dark little secrets in the shadows before the Justice League does."

"And among these secrets, the most terrifying and the most subversive of common sense are the prophets!"

"In the impression of most magicians, the Three Prophets are a secret society that only appeared after World War II, an association of a group of mages who are the highest in the field of prophecy, so they respect the Three Prophets, but they do not fear them."

"Unlike me, the vast majority of archmages, elemental guardians, high-dimensional beings, and rule-embodied beings are different, and we are in awe of them, even ...... Fear them. The Three Prophets were a group of monsters who were known as gods before the Eternal Council was formed, when the world's first users of witchcraft were not yet called gods. ”

"Even before Heaven and Hell were born, they were the most feared beings in this world."

"The mages who had dealings with the demons learned from the demons about their fear of the prophets, so they feared them, and the mages who used the power of heaven received the same answer from the heavens, and the ancient users of witchcraft, those who are now called 'gods', Zeus, Odin, Poseidon, and the archmages of the Eternal Council, Nabu and Shazam, got their fear of the prophets from magic......"

"Based on my speculation, I might as well make a bold assumption that this world was originally without magic, and that it was the prophets who created it. Whether it is heavenly, hellly, jinn, or witchcraft, it is the fire that the prophet has sprinkled. And the original mage was Prometheus, the fire stealer. ”

"It doesn't mean anything." Konstantin said: "Not all prophets...... Is that right? ”

The Night Master muttered, "We don't know what the Supreme Being is planning all this is. We only know the original source of magic, the world was originally chaotic, and it was the prophets who prescribed chaos, discovered the world out of chaos, and fixed the order. ”

"And before that, in the chaos, everything is possible, it happens, and there is magic all the time. Time relapse, the shaping of life, the control of the soul, the distortion of matter, anything is possible in chaos, so there is everything called magic. But these magic don't have any meaning, chaos without order, it's chaos. ”

"So it can be called the age of chaos magic."

"Then the Prophets found everything in the chaos, and they fixed the rules in the chaos, the light and the darkness, the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, and they created order in the chaos, and gave every name to everything, and fixed them, and then they set order."

This is the Book of Genesis...... A terrible blasphemy heretical myth. ”

"But only the mage knows that it's true, at least partially." The Night Master pronounced the root of an ancient rune, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his hand.

"People who didn't go through that era won't understand, Konstantin, when you learn magic, magic has already been fixed, so you recite a spell, perform some rituals, and magic is born. So how did these spells, rituals, come about? What is the power behind them. ”

"I know you have demonic bloodline from hell, so you think magic is paid for by other 'beings'. We pay the 'price' to use it. But only those of us who have been involved in the creation of magic know...... Magic itself is power. ”

"Let me tell you how the mage was created!"

"The prophets mold order out of chaos, name all things, and then their names have power, and we call out their names, call on them for the power bound by order......"

Chen Ang is programming in front of the computer, he is continuing to create this world, the patch pack of the god speed force developed a few years ago will continue to be developed, this universe is a virtual universe that he participated in creating, no matter what kind of world it is, it is determined that information cannot simply exist without matter, so the architecture of this virtual universe is in the ocean of consciousness of all living beings.

It is contained in the material universe, in the nerve cells of every carbon-based life, in the storage unit of silicon-based life......

While life in the entire universe has been reduced to an indescribable pool of flesh and blood, the kind with nerve cells, even silicon-based life forms have become a chaotic combination of countless memories and logic circuits.

"All the information of this universe is stored in the memory. It is encrypted by the Three Prophets and runs by the inner logic given by the Three Prophets...... It's like a whole system, working in harmony. This law of operation is order. Information that interferes with the operation of the entire system is called an instruction. ”

"Instructions consist of opcodes and address codes."

"The opcode is the sequence number of the instruction, telling the system to execute the preset instruction, these instructions are contained in the instruction set, pre-written by Chen Ang, and the address code is more complex, mainly including the source operand address, the destination operand address, in general, it is to retrieve the information stored in the bottom layer."

"The opcode and the address code are combined, which is the underlying magic script, or machine language. It is composed of two hexagrams, yin and yang, of course, it can also be 0 and 1, the basic unit of information in this universe is bytes, a byte is composed of eight hexagrams, and the opcode and address code occupy 1kb size. ”

"The Bottom Spell, or Bottom Spell, is the language that communicates directly with the world. Ancient wizards used this language to create magic, such as fireball, which is to call the information data of fire, and the wizard needs to issue a command, from the instruction set developed by Chen Ang, containing composite instructions of elements, shapes, and motion functions, and then use the address code to call all the information about the fireball. ”

That is to say, you first need to compile a fireball spell, containing all the information of the fireball, and then store it in the world's memory, and finally use the underlying magic to design a spell, issue instructions to the world, and use the back door left by Chen Ang to create a fireball. But this magic has its limits. ”

"The underlying magic text is fast to respond, but it carries very little information, and can use magic quickly and accurately, but it is difficult to operate complex magic. If it's just simple elemental magic, the structure is simple, and there is not much information involved, it is easy to compile a spell. But to achieve complex magic, such as damage return, reversing time, and distorting consciousness, then the difficulty of shaping spells with underlying magic is too much. ”

"So the wizards created the upper level of the magic text on the basis of the low-level magic script."

"The wizarding world began to evolve from machine language to C language, then to more complex programming tools, and then to 1 terabyte of information, and began to create all kinds of complex magic."

"Later...... I fooled the other two Prophets and created the world's magical mechanism, the Zero Prophet. ”

"Prophet Zero has regulated the rules of all magic, and I have written various underlying protocols and world network interaction protocols, completely depriving all magicians of the permission to communicate with the world, and now they only need to recite spells, and Prophet Zero will respond, and I will deprive the magician programmers of their permissions, so that they can only be fools who operate mages with a click of the mouse in front of the magic computer."

"But I still retain some of the privileges of the Ancient Wizards as a reward for their contributions to the magic-building process. Now they call themselves 'gods.' ”

"Some of the magic texts written by the mages were integrated into the 'magic mechanism', so they mastered some of the 'back doors'. This is the Legendary Sorcerer of the Ancients. It was I who changed the wizard from the 'hackers' who groped for the underlying code of the world, made up the rules of magic, and manipulated the world, to the programmer who only needed to recite the spell and wait for the spell to take effect. ”

"What a merit!"

"In the process, some magicians have sensed my existence through the rules of magic, and they have sensed that there is a supreme authority behind magic, but they are not so much afraid of me as they are afraid of magic. They still can't detect the truth behind it. ”

Chen Ang continued to patch the world with special powers, and at the same time wrote on the program's notes: "One of the special powers that anchor this world, magic, has been constructed. The next special power, the Divine Speed Force, is preparing for the fifty-first test......"

"The power of the magician to reach the roots...... And I am the root! "———— chief designer of the magic mechanism, Chen Ang, the world's mysterious architect
