Chapter 1478: The Bird and the Return (23)

The original Schiller was a magician, and even the head of the Soviet KGB's department of liaison with the wizarding world, but Schiller didn't find any magic-related parts in his memory, otherwise he would have guessed something in the first place.

Schiller didn't inherit any of the original Schiller's connections in the wizarding world, and he didn't know which magicians he knew, but a little inference showed that the original Schiller should have adhered to the same set of social principles in ordinary people's society and in the wizarding world—famous, but friends.

It can also be seen from the fact that Konstantin did not know Schiller, and they may have heard of a certain part of the reputation of the original Schiller, but in fact they have not seen him as a person, and they do not know his specific whereabouts.

It wasn't until Schiller returned, using his familiarity with the comics to find the entrance to the Forgotten Bar, that he met the Night Master, and heard him complain that there were always some dark mages making trouble here, but he couldn't afford to hire bodyguards, so he thought of bringing him the beating cabbage that Pamela had made for him as a gift.

For a long time, Schiller did not accept any invitations and invitation emails, but after the resumption of socialization, some connections belonging to the original Schiller also surfaced.

For example, Master Andrew, who invited him to the birthday banquet this time, is a well-known archmage of the wizarding academy, with an independent mage tower and countless peach and plum under his knees.

And Schiller, whose prestige has almost reached the full level in ordinary society, has a new goal, he wants to regain a foothold in the wizarding world after a gap of several years, in addition to inheriting the connections from the original Schiller, but also to expand the social circle and contribute to the construction of the wizarding world.

Schiller didn't actually plan to bring Bruce over, because as we all know, Batman can't do magic, and if he does, it will definitely cause all kinds of dangerous events, so Schiller can't be sure if it's a good thing to let him enter the wizarding world.

But when I think that the Batman of this world has changed so much, maybe a certain rule is not completely impossible to break, so Schiller brought Bruce here.

Schiller's welcome made Bruce freeze in place.

It stands to reason that both children and adults should be amazed and excited when they discover that the magnificent magical world has opened their doors to him.

But what Bruce had in mind was:

What could be more terrifying than having your mentor be a well-known master of psychology among ordinary people?

That is, after finally graduating with excellence through four years of mutual torture with him, I found that he was also a well-known magic master among ordinary people.

You're going to start all over again??!!

Bruce knew that Schiller had some special abilities, and that he might befriend some magicians like Constantine, but he didn't expect Schiller to be famous in the wizarding world - judging by some of the movements and expressions of Jim, the master of the night.

As a result, Bruce didn't feel happy or excited at all, and even the slightest hint of resurrection that he had when he first learned about the existence of magic disappeared, and he was a little tired of learning it on the spot.

So, he nodded perfunctorily, but Jim, the master of the night, stared at his face for a moment, and then said with some surprise, "Are you Bruce Wayne?"

Bruce nodded again, and Jim leaned back and gave Schiller a thumbs up.

"I'm going to take Bruce to buy something, can you open the door for us?" Schiller said, looking at the paintings behind Jim.

"Of course, Doctor, where are you going?" London's Grand Bazaar, or Maia's Tower of Mirrors, or a collector's private gallery?"

"Well, I'm going to Master Andrew's birthday party, and I'm an old acquaintance with him, so a bottle of red wine from Bordeaux would be a good gift, but Bruce is visiting for the first time, so he may need a formal dress and a more solemn gift."

"Then it looks like you're planning to go both." "Exactly."

The Night Master nodded, his hand gently stroking the sword at his waist, and the paintings hanging on the wall floated silently, one of them in an oval frame

Depicting a scene of a bustling medieval bazaar, Jim reaches out and taps his hand behind the frame, and a portal unfolds before the eyes of the two men.

Schiller was the first to walk in with his cane, Bruce followed him, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw the scene of the bazaar in the painting, where all kinds of magicians came and went, and the whole street was bustling with activity.

The weather in this mysterious space is similar to that of London, with grey skies pressed low, humid air feeling sticky, and cobblestone pavements covered in moisture from the morning mist.

Among the people walking the streets, there are traditional mages in robes and hoods, voodoo people wearing metal jewelry and tattoos all over their bodies, brightly dressed gypsy girls, and even many bouncing critters.

"Can you tell me about the wizarding world?" Bruce looked left and right as he looked for a topic.

"I think you'd be more interested in learning about magic itself." Schiller also turned his head left and right to look for the target shop, he thought for a moment, and then said, "The classification of magic in this world is not complicated, and it can be divided into black magic and white magic in terms of the source of power; From the perspective of the form of use, it can be divided into positive magic and anti-language magic; In terms of the nature of magic, it can be divided into order magic and chaos magic."

"And there are not only magicians in the wizarding world, magicians usually refer to people who use some form of magic to change the world, but there are gods in this world, and some people have gained power because of the curse or favor of the gods, you can understand them as god-givers."

"God-givers passively gain power, but there are also those who actively pray to the gods and become agents of the gods and demons, but the agents have little room for free movement, and they must fulfill the will of the covenant gods or demons."

"There are also some people who have the blood of gods or demons, generally called demigods or half-demons, and there are relatively few demigods or half-demons in the wizarding world who are powerful in blood, most of them are just a little bit of a margin, and they are not necessarily stronger than magicians."

"And how are magicians classified?" Bruce asked.

"There's no specific job title." Schiller shook his head and said, "There are only strong and weak, and many people think that the essence of magic is exchange, and there must be a price, but this is not necessarily the case."

"In general, the power of magic comes from external objects, not from one's own cultivation, and magicians channel magical power to the realm, so that the power can come to themselves or attach to other things, because the nature of the source of power is different, and the way to pay the price is different."

"Most demons don't require the contract mage to pay the price immediately, the mage can use magic smoothly for a lifetime, but after death, the soul will be returned to the contract demon and he will be at his disposal."

"There are also beings who need to be given a knot, often causing great pain to the magicians while they are alive, and there are benevolent gods who do not charge a lot of money, but also do not set their agents free."

"And what kind of class do you belong to?"

"Me?" Schiller's hand holding his cane paused slightly, and Bruce observed his small movement, so he asked further, "What kind of source of power do you contract?"

Bruce was a little curious, he could hardly imagine Schiller going to pray for strength from the gods, and he saw Schiller stop in front of a clothing store, pause, and talk as he walked inside.

"I don't want to put it together with that name, but I have to say that I belong to the Konstantin category.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then smiled as he thought of what Konstantin had once said to him - the essence of magic is debt? The essence of magic is not to pay debts!

It has to be said that if Schiller hadn't interrupted Konstantin's cycle of debt, his model would have been almost successful, but even so, he still tossed himself as a ghost.

Then why has he never been subjected to any backlash since he met Schiller in the past few years? Bruce began to think about it.

By this time, he had followed Schiller into the clothing store, an old-fashioned clothing store, with cabinets, tables, counters, and boxes in the corners full of all sorts

The kind of fabric, the dummy model has a soft ruler wrapped around the neck, and the sample clothes hang on the high wall.

Schiller tapped on the counter with his cane, and a burly bearded man came out of the door, greeting him in French-flavored English, and then looking at the two guests with an eagle's eye.

"Hello, I need a dress for the Archmage's banquet."

Schiller stepped aside and let the bearded tailor walk in front of Bruce, who carefully examined Bruce's figure, nodded and said, "His figure is not out of line, there is nothing difficult in making clothes, do you have special requirements for attributes?"

"No charisma bonus or psychic effect required." Schiller apparently knew about this, and then he added: "Try to be as raw as possible, but use more expensive fabrics, and better if you have rare silk threads."

The bearded tailor raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at Schiller again, as if remembering, and said, "Are you the Dr. Rodriguez who recently returned to the wizarding world?" I heard from you from Zarf's mouth."

"Yes, I am, this is my student Bruce, he just graduated recently, I plan to make him appear at Master Andrew's birthday party, you know what kind of clothes I want, right?"

The bearded tailor squeezed a smile out of his serious expression, and he beckoned as he said, "The young man is making his first appearance at the Archmage's banquet - it is better not to be overly ostentatious, but to impress people, his appearance is in good condition, and he really does not need the magic of charm·······

As he spoke, a fabric with a shimmering magical sheen flew in from outside the door and instantly wrapped itself around Bruce's body, and Bruce didn't feel anything, and a dark silver suit was worn on his body.

"I think the suit is pretty good, but if you want to be more classical, a mage robe is fine, you can go to Old Blonn at the end of the street and buy a blue orb that matches his blue eyes."

Schiller took a few steps back and looked at Bruce's current appearance, as if feeling a little dissatisfied. Five

To be honest, Bruce Wayne has left too many stereotypes, and he is very young now, and if he does not wear a darker and more old-fashioned suit, but a light-colored fabric with a little light, he will always give people the feeling of a frivolous and prodigal boy, which is not a good image to appear at a banquet.

So Schiller nodded to the bearded tailor and said, "Try it in a robe."

The bearded tailor seemed pleased with Schiller's choice, and he snapped his fingers, and the shape of the fabric on Bruce's body changed, and a traditional dark silver mage robe appeared on him.

The upper body is a traditional European cardigan shirt and hand wraps, and the lower body is a robe with an outer skirt, the fabric texture is quite good, and it looks restrained and luxurious.

That's what Schiller wanted, so he took out a bottle of energy shards, paid for it, and walked out of the clothing store with Bruce.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a magic orb." "But I don't even know magic."

"You will." Schiller turned to look at him and said, "What do you do when you don't have money?" "Go borrow money."

"Will you pay it back?" "No, it won't."

"Then you'll be magical, and that's how I do.
