Chapter 193: The Rock of Eternity
"Centuries ago, everyone was able to see and approach the Rock of Eternity!"
"It opens its doors to everyone who needs it!"
"Its halls are overseen by the Eternal Council, a secret society of seven wizards and mages who have sworn to protect all magic until that day comes...... The Prophet controls the darkness and fulfills its responsibility...... Destroy the original magic and kill anyone who knows the truth about it. ”
"All the members of the council were killed, and only one survived."
"The Last Sorcerer Chooses to Close the Gates of the Eternal Rock......"
"With the rocks retreating from the eyes of the world...... The same goes for magic. He had to keep his mouth shut about the secrets of magic, or else...... That's how it ended! ”
Madame Shangdu raised her head, and the pale green eyes on her beautiful face had become two black holes, terrible black holes, and Zatanna almost screamed, and she tried her best to control herself so that she did not cry out.
Lady Shangdu said calmly, "Do you still want to ask me about the secret of the Eternal Rock?" ”
"It's ...... What's going on? Zatanna pulled Superman's cape, the hands holding the red cloak were white, and Superman also had a serious expression: "Nimu, if you want, we will find that bastard for you and make him pay for what he did to you." ”
"This is the price...... "Madame Shangdu's reaction was very peculiar, and she sighed with relief, "This is the price of seeing too many things that I shouldn't see with my eyes." Any magic ...... It's all at a price, Zatanna, you should know it...... The same is true of prophecy...... "Lady Shangdu stretched out her hand, fumbled around the table for a while, and found her tarot cards.
He said to Zatana, "Do you still want me to prophesy?" Then I need you to help me read the tarot cards......"
Zatanna covered her mouth and shook her head, "No need! Madam...... He took your eyes, and I can't let it take your tongue again. ”
She pulled Superman and prepared to leave Mrs. Shangdu's hut, and when they left, Mrs. Shangdu suddenly said, "Don't look for it, the answer will come to the door by itself!" As Zatana and Superman left the hut, Lady Shangdu put on her blindfold, and she had just taken it off to show Zatana and the others, when a line of tears silently slipped down the lilac blindfold.
After Zatanna and Superman leave Lady Shangdu's cabin, they walk silently through the streets of London, where the Underground has been around for nearly a century and a half. Some say that the changes in London over the past 100 years are all hidden in the underground, and the two men walked along the street for about five to ten minutes before they came to a striking sign - a royal blue rectangle with a big red circle running through it.
This is the metro station, which is an old metro station, and the old high arch was built a hundred years ago.
Zatanna and Superman lean against the wall and wait for the next train...... Both can move faster, but why so fast? Mrs. Shangdu said, just wait......
Just as Zatana looked down and flipped through her phone, the subway arrived.
Zatana looked up and tried to get on the subway, but through the subway window, she saw a figure on the opposite platform, a figure wearing a golden Roman helmet and a golden scarf armor cloak, saying that the figure was because there was no one under the golden helmet and hand armor, just like the cloak was floating there.
Zatanna put down her phone, but didn't get into the car.
In the blink of an eye, the subway rumbled slightly, and Zatanna and Superman had appeared on the opposite platform, and the golden helmet was beside them......
"Doctor Fate!" Zatanna stood next to the flying golden cloak, and now she stood between the red and gold cloak.
I feel like I've become a flag...... Just like the Romanian flag, with three vertical color bars in blue, yellow and red, it's a pity that there is only one Batman missing...... His cloak is black and can form the Belgian flag, a black, yellow and red vertical striped flag.
"What generation of Doctor Destiny are you?" Zatanna said that this faceless hero dress made her baffled, Doctor Fate still has a face most of the time, okay?
"It doesn't matter...... Dr. Fate said, "because what I represent now is the will of God Naboo." ”
Doctor Fate is the magic messenger chosen by the god Nabu who is possessed in the golden Nabu helmet, once the Justice League thought that Doctor Fate was a superhero and wanted him to join the Justice League, but Batman objected, he believed that Doctor Fate was not the will of those possessed, but the will of the god Nabu behind it.
So maybe those mortals have a good will, but at the end of the day, they are still controlled by Naboo.
Superheroes all believe that there are generations of Doctor Fate who have a righteous heart, but God Nabu has absolutely nothing to do with justice, so this matter is abandoned.
By the time God Nabu thinks that a certain stripper is a good size somewhere, and then chooses him as the ninth generation of Destiny Postdocs, everyone has to admit that the bat is right.
"We don't believe in Naboo...... Perhaps there are a few Doctors of Destiny who can convince us ...... Danab ...... We won't. Zazatana said frankly: "So either show your face or just ......"
"I'm not here to make you trust me...... Nabu said, "Shazam is dead!" ”
"How do you know?" Superman wondered, "This should still be a secret." Zatanna also showed a skeptical look, but the Doctor Fate, possessed by Naboo, did not want to explain, when the next subway arrived, he wrapped his cloak and led the three of them to the subway, and the strange thing was that it was the evening rush hour, but there was no one on the subway.
The people on the platform, it's like they can't see the subway.
As the subway started, the tunnel around them became more and more ancient, the subway seemed to be running on the track a hundred years ago, blue lightning gradually appeared around the subway, under the entanglement of lightning, they came to an ancient subway station, a stone chamber appeared in the tunnel, and many ancient statues were placed at the door of the stone chamber.
The goddess of ancient Greece, the stone lion of China, the human-faced god of Egypt......
Ancient utensils were stacked in the stone room, and the god Nabu led them up the stairs to a hall with seven stone seats, behind which were the lightning patterns on the chest of Shazam's uniform, and the dome of the hall had stone moire patterns. Zatanna recognized the place at first sight.
Eternal Rock!
The center of the universe, the seat of the Eternal Council.
A figure in the center of the seven stone pedestals, dressed in tattered red cloaks, ragged, black and thin, like an old man like the shepherds of ancient Greece, sits on a pedestal with his golden lightning staff in his hand and his head bowed.
He is the target of Zatanna's trip, the sole survivor of the Eternal Council, the wizard Shazam.
A hero named Shazam, whose real name is Billy. The wizard who gave him strength was called Shazam.
That's why the phrase "Shazam is dead!" What does it mean...... Zatanna was shocked, "Shazam the wizard is also dead!" Nabu wondered, "Who do you think I'm talking about?" While he was alive, blue lightning flashed in the stone room...... I couldn't get in here then. ”
"Who can kill Shazam the wizard?" Zatana was horrified, "He's the Grand Wizard of the Eternal Council!" ”
Zatanna never thought that their target this time would be dead, killing Captain Shazam's men and also killing the wizard Shazam, so that no one would know who he was. In order to cover up the fact that he killed someone, the murderer also killed the police chief......
"Creator of magic......" Naboo said slowly, not knowing if he was answering Zatanna's question.
The three of them stared at Shazam, who was already dead and sat on the stone pedestal of the Eternal Council, staring for a long time, without speaking...... It took a long time for a faint sigh to echo in this stone room: "He didn't escape the ...... after all"
Back at the Watchtower base, the Justice League's handling of Konstantin is divided, with some heroes insisting that Konstantin be locked up, while others believe that Konstantin is innocent and should be involved in the investigation of the murderer, giving him a chance to prove his innocence.
And Konstantin also knew the news from Zatanna's side.
The only reason Konstantin thought of the death of the wizard Shazam was the mastermind behind the deaths of Strange to prevent Strange from returning to the universe...... He told Batman about the idea.
But the only chance to prove his innocence right away is gone.
While most people believe that Zakon didn't have the skills to kill Shazam the wizard, there are also those who believe that Konstantin has become a lackey of some people, working for hell or heaven, killing Shazam for them, and that he is part of the murderer.
Konstantin must prove it for himself!
There's a hand behind it all...... But it's definitely not Chen Ang, he's busy experimenting, he doesn't have time to pay attention to these little things, he has already done what he should do, and the rest just needs to wait!
