The law of the world should be like this - there is cause and effect, equal exchange, no pain, no gain......

Mortals live within the rules, their lives are confined to a framework, it is order, it is also rules, it is common sense, it is also the limit, it is a kind of bondage, but also a kind of protection, in short...... There is always a ......

And what about us?

We cheat!

We flout the rules, we turn the laws of the universe around, let them give up the uncaused, let us get something for nothing, we look for loopholes, we trample on contracts...... We are the Mages!

A mage is a person who tramples on the rules, a cheater!

Konstantin lowered his head and grabbed a cigarette as he walked through the dark alleys beyond the bar, the faint glow of the lighter casting his shadow behind him and stretching long.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke ring.

Konstantin stepped on the dirty stagnant water with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked forward crookedly......

A dim shadow appeared in front of him, he leaned against the wall, right in front of Dottie's pet shop where Konstantin lived, Konstantin did not hesitate, who knows who came to him? His troubles were so much that he didn't want to deal with them.

As I said before, there is a permanent ...... Cheating always has to pay a price, although no one knows the reason or the specific way, but the price is inevitable, and Konstantin has already made this clear from his own twenty years of experience, so he began to gradually move away from magic and live by cheating.

After all, he is a cheater who has been targeted by regulators.

Mages distort time and space, control other people's minds, create life, and there are really no rules for them, and this is magic, which makes mages a very dangerous existence - both for others and for themselves.

The little spider greeted the decadent uncle who was walking towards him: "Hey! Are you John Constantine? I was introduced to a guy and she said you're very ...... means."

"So did she say I was a scumbag?" Konstantin replied casually: "Where did you meet her, Moonlight Bunny Villa?" Or Lady Shetty Ranch? Tell her I'll go back to pay the bills if I have the money...... Or can she take a cut of your commission? Or has she already smoked it? ”

"She did mention that to me." "But it's not clear enough that you'll still owe women workers for their services. ”

"Haha...... "Konstantin laughed, "the service fee for female workers...... Prostitution is said to be dart! ”

"She suggested that I go to the Shadow Pact, or Shazam, or the Lady of Shangdu, the Sage of Ochie, Faust, the Witch, or Doctor Fate...... She knows all these people, and they are all more reliable than you...... However, I decided as soon as I heard your name. The little spider shrugged and said, "Because he used your name, I think that proves that you are unusual." ”

"Every user of magic is unusual......," Konstantin sighed, "but you didn't look at the advertisement...... In fact, you're the kind of customer I hate the most, the one who usually looks at the advertisement, or is introduced by an acquaintance, but just the poor guy who gets entangled in something unclean. But you're the kind of person you've been introduced by someone in uniform, or someone in the industry...... It's usually big trouble. ”

"And I don't want to get into such big trouble."

The little spider was silent for a while, and decided to use the routine that the prophet told him before he left - the prophet didn't want to meet this scumbag, and he didn't even want to breathe together in a city, so the little spider had to come to Konstantin alone. Who told him to hear this name and not be able to walk?

Chen Ang used such a name in the original world.

The little spider knows this very well!

"Those people are also poor...... "The little spider was a little embarrassed, but still read the above passage according to the prophet's teaching: "And I ...... Belch...... Very rich! ”

Konstantin's bloodshot eyes lit up instantly.

He straightened up, looked at the little spider solemnly and said, "How rich ...... you?"

The little spider let go of herself and whispered in Batman's style: "Having money is my superpower!" ”

Konstantin looked at the little spider dressed as an ordinary student and felt that this sentence was unconvincing, but strangely, he could recognize it...... This is a true saying, it doesn't matter if he is rich or the people behind him are rich...... No, it's important, Konstantin is not a man who values money.

It's just that money is more important than his life.

"Come in!" Konstantin pushed open the door, the small animals in the pet store were awakened, some dogs sniffed loudly, and an old woman's voice came from the attic: "Is that you?" Konstantin, I hear voices downstairs......"

Konstantin shouted, "It's my Lady Dottie." ”

"Why is it so late? But I'm much more at ease when you come back......"

Konstantin took the little spider through the cage where the pet was sacrificed and pushed open the door to the basement, but the little spider glanced at the attic, this familiar family atmosphere made him miss it very much, but the little spider reminded Konstantin anyway: "You look like you can easily get into trouble...... Then you shouldn't live with ordinary people. ”

"People who trouble me are generally quite reasonable." Konstantin said: "And I can't afford to rent a one-room house, if you give me enough money for this ticket, who wouldn't want to move out?" ”

This kind of helplessness of poverty, the little spider can understand it very well.

"All animals can disrupt divination magic, don't look at their low energy, but they are very useful, as long as you know this, anything ordinary can cause big problems for your opponent." Konstantin explained.

"The Power of Prophets...... Does it count? The little spider suddenly asked.

Konstantin suddenly turned his head and stared at the little spider, his eyes were very sharp: "Prophet? With one hand, he pulled away the animal artifacts that had fallen from the ceiling tied with silk threads—dried corpses of birds and lizards, disposed heads, and a few other messes, and the whole basement was a mess like a witchcraft supply store, full of strange things from various civilizations.

An octopus-like specimen in a tank, an exaggerated mask of the indigenous people of Africa or the South Pacific islands, a specimen of a small gorilla with two heads.

"You're talking about...... The Prophet? Konstantin hinted at him.

"There are three of them, the prophet ......" the little spider admired Constantine's collection with great interest, and praised, "You look very reliable, although I am also a mage, the Supreme Mage, but I can't do a single magic, so the prophet said, let me try it with you......"

"I don't teach magic." Konstantin shook his head.

"Tuition fee ...... 10 million dollars"

"But it doesn't matter if you learn together...... The...... Belch? Mage? Konstantin folded his hands and said, "Do you transfer directly to my account, or give me a check, it would be great if it were cash!" I also accept mortgages for valuables. ”
