"Miss Zatanna, please tell me this as it is, you don't have to explain the obscure terms, for I can understand them, you just need to tell me the cause, the process, and the results of this matter." Alfred said as he looked at Zatana.

Zatanna opened her mouth, she felt that something was wrong, she looked at Alfred again, but found no signs of magic on him, looking at her puzzled expression, Alfred explained:

"Lord Wayne was obsessed with the occult for a while, and as his butler, I needed to help him sort out the information he wanted to investigate, and from there, I gained a lot of knowledge."

"But...... It's impossible, Bruce doesn't know much about the occult, and it's almost impossible to find true occult knowledge in an ordinary society." Zatanna subconsciously retorted.

"Yes, but the housekeepers of the Pennyworth family always have to deal with their employers' interest in magic, and how to tell if a magician is a lame liar is a must for the housekeepers of the Pennyworth family."

Zatanna opened her mouth again, and she found herself unable to refute it, for she had been employed by some wealthy or mysterious family before, and it would not be the employer herself who would handle these matters, but their butler.

This phenomenon was especially prevalent in medieval Europe, where the Pennyworths, a family of hereditary stewards who had served the royal family, probably knew much more about the occult world than some young magicians.

"Well, in that case, then this matter is better explained." Zatanna took a few deep breaths, put aside any extra thoughts, and began to tell the story from the beginning.

Alfred, as he had said, patiently listened to all that Zatanna had to say, without interrupting her halfway, and when Zatana had finished speaking, he looked at Zatana and asked:

"Miss Zatara, according to you, right now, the souls of Bruce and Schiller are in hell, right?"

Zatana nodded, and Alfred sighed and said, "So, what kind of help do you want from me?"

Zatana frowned and said, "I contacted a relative in my family who had been to Hell and he left a beacon in Hell that would allow me to use teleportation to go to Hell by means of teleportation."

"As I said before, most people go to Hell through the spirit realm to the edge of Hell, and then they go all the way from the edge of Hell to Hell."

"But in this way, it will be the soul that will go to hell, and the human beings in the soul state are very fragile, and there is no way to cast a lot of magic, and once they encounter demons, they are likely to be torn apart."

"Just like the human world, the situation in Hell is also very complicated, since the Lord of Hell left Hell, the Hell is divided, if you go in the form of a soul, you will definitely become a snack for demons, even the most powerful magician, you don't dare to do this."

"So, I need to use the beacon to send my body to hell so that I can be guaranteed to use my full strength."

"However, in hell I can't use spiritual vision, and I need to use medium items to track the whereabouts of my soul." Zatanna sighed and said, "To find Bruce and Schiller in Hell, I must obtain an item of theirs that I can use to track down the breath of their souls." ….

Alfred nodded, and said, "But, Miss Zatara, you should also know that as a qualified housekeeper, I can't give my master's personal belongings to anyone else."

"I know that you have a good relationship with the master, but that is in the past after all, and now that Mr. Wayne has his own family and children, if I give you his personal belongings at will, it may bring unnecessary trouble to his future interpersonal interactions."

"But I'...... Wait, families and children? Is Bruce already married?" Zatanna asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, not yet, but he already has two children, oh yes, Miss Aisha should be awake by now, Merkel, please go and bring her over, the doctor prescribed her tablet vitamins yet."

Merkel nodded, went upstairs, and passed a while

Yes, a little girl was brought in, and the first time Zatana saw Aisha, she was sure that she must be Bruce's daughter, because the two of them looked so similar.

"Oh my God!" Zatanna let out an exclamation, and then she stood there stunned for a long time, and finally, with some melancholy, said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, he is already a father."

Alfred hugged Aisha, fed her vitamin tablets, and then asked Merkel to take Aisha upstairs to play, he looked at Zatana and said:

"I want to bring Master Wayne back more than you, but I'm just an old butler, I can't do this, the only thing I can do is to abide by the rules of a housekeeper and protect this place for Mr. Wayne."

As soon as Zatana was about to speak, Alfred continued, "However, I have also seen Mr. Zatara's abilities, and I think you are reliable and trustworthy magicians, but this matter should not be underestimated, you must tell me the whole process and show me what you can do to hell."

Alfred's tone had been patient, but it made Zatanna feel guilty, and she hurriedly explained:

"That's right, the Hell Beacon is in a group of two, and one of them is buried in the soil layer of Hell, and the place where the Beacon is dropped must be safe."

"I have another beacon, open a portal, I can land directly on the location of the Hell Beacon, after landing, I will activate the personal item with magic attached, it will show the direction of the soul breath, as long as I follow this direction, I can find them, and just bring them back to the place where the portal is, I can save them."

Zatanna described the process in as much detail as possible, but Alfred was still a little confused, and said, "Miss Zatara, it's not that I don't trust you, but hell sounds like a dangerous place, and I don't want you to take such a big risk even if you want to save people."

Zatanna bowed her head a little moved and said, "Thank you, but don't worry about me, although I haven't been to hell, I have dealt with many demons from hell, and they are not completely without weaknesses."

"Hell is not as hot as many people imagine, it is full of magma, it is not full of fiery goats' hooves, there are many types of demons, ghosts, solitary spirits, lava demons, upper demons, hounds, sarimos, and so on." ….

"In general, disembodied demons are mostly afraid of fire, just like human souls are afraid of flames, they like darkness and cold, and hate heat and burning, so it would be better to use a charm to light fire to dispel it."

"Physical demons like the Lava Demon, they are not afraid of fire, and even like to bathe in magma, but they will fall apart when they are hit by great power, and it is also a good solution to restrain them with a magic circle."

"As for the high-level demons, even the lord demons, their strength is unimaginable to humans, so there is no way to fight them with force, so they can only negotiate terms with them."

"Fortunately, they are all very intelligent, and they are happy to make a pact with humans, and they will let you go if they pay some price."

"Pay the price?" Alfred asked.

"That's right, if you want them to help you get people, it may cost a lot, but if you just borrow it, you can give whatever you want, and they will definitely ask for a sky-high price, but as long as you stick to the bottom line and never let go, you won't pay too much in the end."

Alfred nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Well, Miss Zatanna, I can give you Lord Wayne's personal belongings, but you must cast a spell in front of me, summon the portal, and then go inside, so that you don't leave this item outside and cause unnecessary disputes."

"It just so happens that Merkel is Mr. Rodriguez's butler, and he also holds Mr. Rodriguez's belongings, so you don't have to go to the manor over there."

"Of course, I can swear that I will never tell anyone what happened today, and you should believe the oath of the Pennyworths, we have always been known for our good reputation."

Zatanna struggled for a moment, then said, "No, I'm not worried about leaks or anything, throughout the ages, there were

Too many people have seen magic, but as long as they can't prove it, it's just legends."

"But where do I cast the spell?" Zatanna looked at the luxurious hall of Wayne Manor and said, "The portal to hell, but the large portal, I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise, so it can't be here, right?"

"It's okay, we can go to the back garden, anyway, this broccoli disaster has destroyed the entire garden, and it always has to be rebuilt, you cast spells there, and the safety will be more guaranteed."

Zatana thought for a moment and nodded, feeling that what Alfred said also made sense, after all, she didn't think about where to cast the spell, in case the spell was interrupted during the spell, she would also be injured, and Wayne Manor was safe and quiet, and there were people to watch over it, which was indeed a good choice.

So, Zatanna went to the back garden and began to set up the portal's circle with the basic materials, while Alfred returned to the manor's building to fetch things for her.

After a while, the circle was set up and ready to be activated, and Alfred brought a cloak, the one that hung from the back of the batsuit, and Merkel brought a pen that Schiller had been using to write medical records while he was in the manor.

Zatana's fingertips lit up, and she tapped lightly at the two objects, which floated into the air, and then fell again, also beginning to emit a faint shimmer. ….

Then, she activated the portal, and a huge blood-colored vortex appeared in the middle of the garden of Wayne Manor, and Zatana, who was holding the enchanted item, took a deep breath, and then whispered to herself:

"Okay, so far, so good, it's not that hard, right? It's all on you, Zatanna......" She felt a little nervous, her heart pounding.

Zatanna was too busy cheering herself on for not noticing, but Alfred gradually approached him, startled when she felt a dark shadow approaching her from behind, and then turned back.

"Bang !!!"

A pain in the back of her head and a sharp feeling of dizziness hit her, and before Zatana's vision went dark, she saw only Alfred's indifferent look.

Alfred tossed the blood-stained gardening shovel aside, then straightened his gloves and said to Merkel, "Take this young and rude young lady upstairs to rest."

Merkel, who was standing in place, swallowed her saliva, while Alfred looked at him expressionlessly and said:

"As I said, the butler of Gotham, no visitor is welcome without a message or a gift."

After saying that, he glanced at Zatanna, who had fallen to the ground, and said in an extraordinarily indifferent voice:

"Especially, when she's bringing bad news."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the portal again, the blood-colored vortex exuded an ominous aura, just by looking at it, people felt two wars, and instantly remembered all kinds of terrifying monsters.

But it is very unfortunate that the steward who manages this manor is the most fearful is the cow ghost and snake god.
