"Master Kaz, long time no see."

A slightly muffled, melodious female voice echoed through the cabin, Kaz narrowed his eyes, his old face furrowed, and he slowly spat out the other party's name, "Queen Mary, what are you doing with me?"

"I'm not here for you." The woman known as Mary, the Queen of Blood, wore a silk dress with dark red rose patterns, and her red eyes shone slightly in the dimly lit room.

"Andrew Bennett, my former husband, now a traitor to the Bloodline, I heard that he slept in the Cemetery of All Souls, but I didn't feel his breath, where did you hide him?"

"I haven't heard anything of Bennett." Kaz took a step back with some vigilance and said, "Mary, do you want to break the contract between the Bloodlines and the mages?"

"The Demon Sect has never agreed to a contract." Mary raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me where he is, and I'll let you go."

Kaz's face suddenly turned cold, and he clenched the scalpel in his hand, the power of the Skeleton Monarch flowing between his fingers.

"Since I was promoted to Archmage, no one has dared to be so rude to me, you blood-sucking bugs, get out of my territory!"

With a muffled roar, the cries of countless ghosts rang out, and the corpses and bones on the dissecting table flew into the air, piecing together a flesh puppet that raised its huge fist and smashed it towards Mary.

Unhurriedly, Mary scattered into a bat and flew to the beams of the roof, her cold voice coming from above.

"Kaz, I advise you not to be ignorant, the Demon Sect has already obtained a powerful power that you can't imagine, we follow the prophecy of the ancestor to eliminate the traitors, if you want to stop me, you will definitely pay a hundred times the price."

"Arrogant woman, let's stop my pet first."

The golem stretched out its arms and grabbed Mary in mid-air, but at this time, several other Bloods broke through the door, and Mary shouted at them, "Catch Kaz! You are free to feast on the blood of an archmage!

A bright red light began to emerge from the eyes of several vampires, and a strange but extremely powerful wave of power emanated from them,

In an instant, the bloody roar was more terrifying than the ghost's cry, and the flesh puppet was torn to shreds in a single look.

Mary, the Scarlet Queen, slowly landed on the ground, the shadows of her outstretched bat's wings enveloping the room, obscuring the fireplace fireplace, and Kaz's screams of terror followed.

With a "thud", blood mixed with the power of the undead traced blood-red marks on the window, and then gradually turned into a cloudy black.

Red Robin withdrew his gaze from the window, he turned his head, and several other people in the room looked at him, Red Robin cleared his throat and said.

"Kaz summoned a huge monster, which was supposed to be made from corpse fragments and bones, but then several people who broke in also turned into monsters, and they tore Kaz's summon to pieces."

"The woman in the lead slashed Kaz's cheek with her claws, causing his blood to splash onto the window, and Kaz lost his strength almost instantly, being subdued and taken away without resistance."

Konstantin didn't ask Red Robin how he saw it, he just stared at the flames of the fireplace, and said in a somewhat low tone, "No, Mary, the Scarlet Queen, doesn't have such power, she can't defeat an archmage in such a short time."

Bennett, who was standing by the door, shrugged his nose and said, "But I'm sure it's her, I smell her blood.

"What about the people who came in after that?" Red Robin looked at Bennett and asked, "Are they vampires too?" Do you know them?"

"Does it matter?"

"Of course, if I'm right, they came in in human form, but they quickly became monsters that weighed at least three times their weight, and if that's your bloodline's special ability, then I didn't say it."

"Absolutely not." Bennett affirmed, "Transforming into a monster is a skill unique to werewolves, and although the Bloodline can transform into a bat, it is not a means of attack, and it is impossible to leave a monster's footprint."

"If you

The woman we had dealt with before didn't have such a lot of power, so the problem must have been with her subordinates."

"The blood-red moon has long since become a climate." Konstantin frowned and said, "Then there is only the Demon Sect that could be the Blood Clan."

At this moment, the fragments of the defeated puppets scattered on the ground suddenly regathered under the control of a dark green filthy energy, and the Night Master Jim drew his night blade with extreme vigilance, staring at the undead golem that appeared out of thin air.

"I'm the Undead Monarch of the Valley of Decay, Constantine, and I'm out of touch with my agent, where did you get him?"

Konstantin saw a green phantom attached to the flesh puppet's body, the ghostfire beating regularly in the puppet's eye sockets, and the skeleton monarch's face looming.

"Mary, the Scarlet Queen, took him."

"Then go find him, Konstantin, this is what you owe me."

"I don't owe anyone anything." Konstantin said coldly, "I'm sorry about your daughter, but I won't work for any devil anymore."

"Kaz's power and I are cut off, but his soul can't be taken away by anything else, go find him and I'll pay you.

Konstantin sighed, turned to Jim and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to promise him that if Kaz dies at Mary's hands, the wizarding world and the Bloodlines will go to war again.

Jim's hand clenched tightly as he looked at the Skeleton Monarch and said, "We'll do it, we don't want your pay, but after that you're going to take Kaz's soul because he sold the soul of his apprentice Bianca, an innocent young man, to the devil."

"As you wish."

After the power of the Skeleton King dissipated, and the puppet dispersed again, Konstantin picked up the lantern on the table again, and said, "If the devil of the Kaz Pact can't find his place, then perhaps only one person can feel his power."

"You mean 'dead people'?" Jim spat out a title.

Konstantin nodded and said, "Boston should now live in seclusion in the valley on the east side of Greenwich, we need to find him, and then use his sensitivity to the power of death to find Kaz."

Bennett and Jim both nodded, and they were about to turn and walk out, but Constantine turned to Red Robin and said, "You have to come with us, because you're the best detective I can find."

As soon as Red Robin was about to speak, Constantine interrupted him and said, "The punches and kicks you learned from Batman are useless in the wizarding world, and based on my rich experience, what we have to deal with next may not even be touchable at all, and you don't even have the most basic self-protection ability in the face of them."

Red Robin was a little angry and wanted to retort, but Constantine came up to him and said to him, "Although I can't use magic right now, I can use my experience to help you choose the perfect contract partner and make a contract, and you will become a good mage."

Red Robin's mouth opened wide, and he instinctively said, "But Batman won't let us ······."

"Batman, Batman, Batman, aren't you weaned yet?" Konstantin deliberately provoked him.

But Red Robin was not fooled, he snorted coldly and said, "I'm not Red Hood, this trick doesn't work for me, Batman must have a reason for not letting us get into contact with magic, not to mention that the magicians I've seen are miserable."

"It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to try to master a power." Konstantin picked up the lantern and walked out the door, he took one last look at Tim and said, "You are not a cursed like me, it is not that you have no choice, after stepping into this river, someone will become a boat with the water, someone will become a sinking stone, what you are, you can only decide."

With that, he walked out of Kaz's grave keeper's hut with his lantern bowed his head, Red Robin clenched his fist but released it after a while, he picked up his cloak and walked out the door, and saw Konstantin standing by the windowsill and adding kerosene to the lantern.

"Do you think you're a ship or a rock?" Red Robin asked.

"Most of the mages are sunken boats, and when they were young, they used to sail unhindered by the wind of the torrent, and one day they will collapse and sink in the sand, and I will be completely swept by the ocean

Before the stream washed away, it was fished up.

Konstantin paused, then pressed the handle of the lantern and continued, "Even if it is repaired as new, the ship will not be able to go ashore, and will have to sail like this for the rest of its life, until one day it is swept into a storm again and destroyed again."

"And you still want me to learn magic?"

"As I said, it's up to you to decide, no one can hold your head to sign a contract, not even the devil." Constantine sighed, he walked up to Red Robin with a lantern, and said, "You are different from the other two children, and the most special thing about you is that everyone else wants to be Batman's lamb, only you want to be his savior."

"Because I'm most like him." Red Robin walked down two steps, his boots on the wet dirt, he looked Konstantin in the eye and said, "I hope that if one day Batman sinks in a storm, I will have the strength to scoop him up, just as your friend scooped you up."

"When I said I would teach you magic, there was no hiding the excitement in your eyes, and you had far greater ambitions for power than your companions." Konstantin pointed out very sharply, "Even more ambitious than Batman."

"Because I want to save him, not just to help him, but to save him completely."

"Then magic will be your way." Konstantin turned his head to look at the muddy paths and dark clouds of the gray skyline of the Cemetery of All Souls, and said, "Magic may be dangerous, but it is manageable, which is why I invite you to learn it, your wisdom allows you to use this power almost perfectly through learning."

"And something else ······" Konstantin lowered his eyes and said, "If you maintain this ambition and greed for power, then sooner or later, they will find you like hyenas following the smell of blood, and at that time, they will bewitch you and use you until you are completely insane."

"And what kind of magic are you going to teach me?" "Do you know what the nature of magic is?" 「······ Debt?"

"Half right, the essence of magic is to not pay debts."

With the figures of several people disappearing into the forest at the end of the path of the Cemetery of All Souls, in the shadows of the corner of the grave keeper's hut, an angry and unwilling roar came from an inconspicuous box.

The light of thunder streaked across the sky, illuminating the dim room, and the dim reflection of black diamonds flashed through the cracks of the box.
