Chapter 182: Princess
Facing Eric, who had broken free and was already dressed, and Raven, who suddenly appeared, Ginny still did not show the slightest panic, and sat calmly on the wooden chair. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Her bodyguards scrambled to their feet, moths rushing towards Eric and Raven, and the result - it goes without saying that two of them were unlucky enough to be hit head-on by Eric and flew away, while the luckier ones were greeted by Raven's chaos magic, and were hypnotized into a deep sleep like dead pigs after being tied up into a dumpling by the black and purple magic.
Eric walked up to Ginny, looked down at her, and said, "Now, we can start talking." β
The purple magic turned into a snake-like chain under Raven's control, and it sprang up from the ground and stabbed at Ginny with great speed.
However, the blonde girl still maintained an indifferent smile, and did not even blink her eyes. Raven's magic shattered as if it had hit an invisible wall the moment it rushed a few centimeters in front of her, and the remnants of it fell like starry rain.
Although she didn't know magic, Eric could tell at a glance that she seemed to have hit a wall, and turned to Raven and asked, "What's going on?" β
"A spell." Raven frowned, "I've read of similar spells in the relevant texts, spells that are specifically used to protect the caster from magical attacks. β
"The one who was cast." Eric asked, "Hear you say that, she's not a spellcaster anymore?" β
"Nope." Revan shook his head, "The caster is a pretty good magician, but she's not a magician. β
"The little girl reads a lot."
A lazy male voice came from the darkness, with a thick British accent in his tone. The man emerged from the corner of the room, with his short blonde hair, a long beige trench coat, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, and his chin full of stubble.
"First meeting," he said, handing Eric a cigarette, "do you need one?" You can take that thing off, I promise we won't have to fight today. β
"Sorry, I don't smoke." Eric shrugged, but lifted the armor back onto his back.
The man lit a cigarette for himself, put it in his mouth, and continued, "According to the doctors, this thing will kill me sooner or later. It's ironic that instead of dying at the hands of those evil spirits, I'm going to be killed by this thing. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself - my name is John Constantine, please take care of me. β
"I see, Konstantin."
John Constantine, Eric, of course, doesn't fail to remember this guy. This is a legendary human in the DC world, an expert in the occult and magic, who has been dubbed Detective Hell for his great exorcism achievements.
It makes sense - the strange and dissonant feeling that Ginny had brought them earlier, and the influence she had invisibly exerted on Eric, were the effects of Constantine's spell.
"Oh?" Konstantin said unexpectedly, "You know me?" β
"The great John Constantine, the world's top exorcist and magician." Eric smiled, "Ah, I've heard of it. β
"Magician, that's a nice thing to say. In fact, people like us are just cheaters, cheaters under the great rules of the universe. Konstantin said, "But if you know me, it will be easy to do, and we can cut straight to the chase-"
He said, pausing, and turning his gaze to Ginny, "You should have seen it, but let me reintroduce you - this is the princess of Sincarliland, Mia." We're here for a simple purpose β to get you two married, right now. β
There was a brief silence.
"Uh...... Sorry, what did you just say? β
"You and this princess of Sincarilan, married." Konstantin repeated, this time adding, "For world peace." We have all made arrangements and the wedding will take place tonight at the embassy in Sincalilan...... β
"What are you playing tricks, magician?" Raven asked with a frown.
"I do admire you, Eric." Princess Mia said calmly, "You are young and brave, and you dance very well...... β
"Stop, stop...... You know I'm only 18, right? Eric said.
Konstantin smiled: "The princess is only 18, but what does it matter?" Sinkaria can get married at 16. Look, this princess is rich and powerful, and she is so cute, what's wrong with marrying her? β
"Wait, let's leave this at that...... I remember. Eric stared at Princess Mia for a moment, and said, "It seems that the news has recently said that Princess Sincalilan is engaged to King Victor von Doom of Latvia...... β
Konstantin sighed, "yes, that's what we're here for - to stop this from happening." This Princess Mia is the seventh of the Seven Princesses, with a noble bloodline, she has had extraordinary blood flowing from birth, and her soul has great potential. It can be said that she was born with this extraordinary talent for magic, and it is of extraordinary value to any pursuing mage. β
"I see." Eric understood, "That's why Doom has a crush on her?" β
"Exactly." "It's a coincidence that at the moment my job is to maintain balance. There are so many people cheating in the world today, and even magic has a price, you can get it for nothing, but there will always be a high price. As one of the few people who understand how things work in the world, it's my job to make sure that no one cheats too much - like preventing extremely dangerous magic weapons from falling into the hands of ambitious mages. The king of Sinkaria had recently decided to marry his daughter to that bastard of Doom for the purpose of a political marriage, and I had stolen her out before then. β
"To put it bluntly, it's a kiss."
"Father doesn't believe in any of the mother's 'gibberish'." Princess Mia said helplessly, "He is not a mystic, he only cares about his 'national affairs'. β
"Doctor Doom is, without a doubt, one of the most magic-savvy people in the world, and a careerist." "So that's my solutionβto get the princess to find the person she really wants to marry before the old fellow gets to do it faster than the old fellow." β
"And that person is not me." "Please, I could tell at first sight that you just wanted someone to be your shield for Doctor Doom, right?" β
The princess did not speak.
"Okay, that ...... Why me? Why don't you go to Stark or something? He's a lot more famous than I am, and you don't have to go to the trouble of finding out who Iron Man is, because his headshots are all on the TV...... You smashed a construction robot into my school, didn't you? β
"The ...... It's a bit ill-conceived. The princess muttered, "But it doesn't hurt." And a superhero like the Avengers is a bit too old for me...... β
Belch...... Well, that's kind of a reason.
"By the way, you're really amazing, you actually got the data about me inside the Aegis, and how did you get a construction robot that the Aegis can't trace the source?"
"It's not mine, it's Doom's, and he's the one who stole the data from Aegis. I just 'borrowed' it while he wasn't looking, and I think since Doom is interested in your information, it must be because you're a threat to him. The little princess stuck out her tongue, "That old man has to force me to be my fiancΓ©e, I just borrow something from him, can't I use it?" β
But didn't you run away...... Eric complained in his heart.
"Wait," Raven keenly noticed something, "someone's coming." β
Almost as soon as her words fell, a thick fog of unidentified objects entered the room from all corners. A sense of incongruity welled up from everyone's heart, the two chairs fell apart in an instant, everything in the room seemed to start to disintegrate, wood slag and metal shards fluttered in the air, and it felt as if you were in a movie special effects scene, without a sense of realism.
"Boom!"
Purple ripples blasted through the walls from the outside, and dust was blown in to make way for the awe-inspiring figure outside. Like a ruler slowly stepping down from his throne, a green cloak fluttering in the moonlight.
It's Dr. Doom.
