Chapter 309: Return to Gotham
Generally speaking, the Assassins of the League of Assassins did not use guns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ However, Zorro still found a lot of guns from their warehouse, and there were also a number of firearm props, such as expansion drums, such as corner scopes, etc. This reminded Zorro of the Assassin Order called the Brotherhood of Assassins.
Zorro took two knives on his back, and wore a slightly altered black robe. Now he looks a bit like the one who first solved the Gotham nuclear crisis (at the beginning of Book 1). Well, the difference is that the fully enclosed helmet has been transformed into a hood and mask, the armor has changed from "plate armor" to a mix of cloth armor and leather armor, and the weapons have been downgraded from the legendary vibranium mixed dwarf metal to steel......
After thinking about it, Zorro also brought two pistols with him. There is no doubt that compared to the "ebony" and "white ivory" that he once customized for himself, this time he got his hands on it is naturally much worse.
He missed the blue energy he had before. During that time, he was able to go out to fight without a weapon. But now......
Then, as originally planned, he asked Zatanna to open him a portal to Gotham. In his previous life, he often did it when he played an online game, so he didn't have any psychological burden. It's just that he didn't expect that Zatanna didn't close the door after he passed through the portal, but followed along.
"You ......"
"Come on, I don't plan to get involved in your business, at least not yet. I'm just a traveler who wants to visit Gotham. β
Listening to Zatanna's explanation, Zorro rolled his eyes. There's nothing fun about Gotham, especially in today's situation. And, travelers? You, Zatanna, have lived in Gotham for a while!
"You'll have to wait until you talk to Sarah about that. I think she's still in Nanda Paba and she'll be able to spot you slipping away and she'll be complaining about you. β
Zatanna laughed, "No, they won't complain about me, they will just hate you." β
Zorro rolled his eyes again, then ignored Zatanna and turned to his first destination.
Because Sarah's intelligence said that Talia had secretly blocked the entire Gotham by cutting off the Internet and controlling traffic, they also used the mobile phone sonar network that Bruce Wayne used but later sealed, and used the sonar function built into the mobile phones of most of Gotham's residents to scan the nearby environment and use it as a surveillance network covering the whole city. Therefore, instead of asking Zatana to open the portal directly near his first destination, Zorro chose a place where no one should be aroundβthe stretch of the river south of Arkham Asylum and north of Coventrie.
With Bruce Wayne's current personality and past experiences, Arkham Asylum will definitely be guarded, and maybe those who oppose him will be locked inside. Even if it's not, at least one or two people will be left to watch out for any accidents. In addition, Arkham Asylum is the main road connecting the old and new towns of Gotham to the east, the Sanmen Bridge to the northwest is connected to the outside world, and the Gotham River is directly west and there is a very important Gotham power station. These important places will definitely not be occupied by local people, and it is obviously not enough for the people brought by Ethalia to guard that area and arrange other key areas of Gotham at the same time. And south of Arkham Asylum is the area of Coventry where the Villain's Bar is located. Due to the previous Arkham Knight incident, several people have temporarily stayed around the Villain's Bar. This group of people came from all walks of life in Gotham, from town hall members to ruffians, and even villains and even supervillains, and it was naturally impossible for Bruce Wayne and Talia to relax about this place, especially since they knew that this place was Zorro's base camp before. Therefore, they will definitely send their descendants to guard as well. In this way, the Arkham Asylum will be surrounded on all sides, and the macro encirclement of Arkham Asylum and Coventrie will be completed, but the little space in between the two will be vacated.
That's where Zorro comes in. At this time, he was dead in the minds of Bruce Wayne and Talia, and dressed as a nondescript assassin in order not to reveal his identity and quietly entered Gotham. And his first destination was within Coventry. It would be best to choose the stretch of the river south of Arkham Asylum across the river from Coventry. Bruce Wayne and Talia wouldn't have thought that someone would open a portal and appear directly at that point.
"Aren't you saying that Coventry must have someone watching from Tagliaogu at that bar, though?" Zatanna asked, "Is there anything useful in there that is worth the risk?" β
Zatanna before was not a person with an overabundance of curiosity. But once she got acquainted with Zorro, who played a big role in his curiosity about magic, she couldn't help but inquire about him who was even more mysterious than her.
"You can think so." Zorro smiled softly. "And. It's not too risky, actually. Isn't there still you? If you find out, I think your magic will solve the problem. β
Hearing this, Zatanna couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, but immediately straightened her face again: "Don't forget, I can't interfere in your battle." β
"If no one sees it, it won't be a problem...... Well, just kidding. Forget that, tell me more about magic. β
Along the way, the two men seemed to return to the situation they had been in when they "swam together" in Nandapaba: Zorro asked, and Zatanna replied. Still to Zatanna's surprise, Zorro never asked her questions about spells or spell casting steps, and even when Zatana offered to teach him magic, he didn't answer, but asked the next question. And most of his problems are problems such as the casting environment, casting speed, and casting phenomena.
"I can see you're preparing to deal with a mage, but don't you think it's more convenient to know the spell?" Zatana asked, "And if you learn some magic, even if you don't use it in battle, life will be easier." For example, teleportation magic, after you learn it, you don't need to look for me, you can release it yourself. β
"But when I need it, I just want you to open the portal for me." Looking at each other, Zorro said with a smile.
Zatanna stared at him for a moment before suddenly turning away from his gaze.
The two walked in silence for a while, until Zatanna had to speak.
"Are you sure we're going here?"
Zorro nodded: "You can't be clean, right?" β
Looking at the sewer entrance in front of her, or rather the exit, Zatana still resisted a little: "It's not clean, it's just ......"
"Yes, I'll carry you." Zorro untied the straps from which the two knives hung from him, came up to her, and stooped down half-crouched.
"But I can float ......"
Zatanna whispered half a sentence before Zorro faintly interrupted.
"What? I didn't hear it. β
Biting her lower lip, Zatanna didn't say more, but carefully leaned down on his broad back.
