In the valley of Greenwich, Constantine and his party found the dark tomb where the dead man Boston Brand was hidden, and Constantine crouched at the door of the wooden door of the cellar, grabbed the handle and knocked on the door, and after a while, a pale hand came out of the tomb.

Dead Boston leaned out halfway, and when he saw Konstantin's face, the door to the tomb slammed shut.

"You're less popular than I thought." Red Robin commented.

"I'm used to being rejected." Konstantin pursed his lips and didn't care, and as he continued to reach out and knock on the door, he shouted, "Boston, my old fellow, you have to open the door for us, or I'll let Jim smash you up!"

"Don't listen to him, I won't do that." Jim, the Night Master, stepped forward, half-crouched in the doorway, and said, "Mr. Dead, we do have something we want your help with, but it's entirely within your reach."

A few seconds later, the door opened again, and Boston stood in the passage and looked up, his eyes glowing with a faint blue light, and he nodded, and said in a dull voice, "Come in."

Constantine was the first to jump into the underground passage, followed by Jim, the Night Master, and Bennett, who had turned into a bat, and Red Robin felt a little hesitant, he didn't think it was polite to jump into someone else's grave, but when he jumped in, he realized that there was something else in it.

Passing through the narrow and dark underground passage, inside is a modern apartment with full facilities, and even a window for natural light, but the window is scattered with colorful space fragments.

"It's a gap in space." Konstantin whispered to Red Robin behind him, "Most of the archmage's mage towers are in the gap between the spaces, because only in this way can they live long enough to find a cemetery and build a house in reality like that idiot of Kaz, and they would have been beaten to death by the creditors who came to the door."

Red Robin nodded, jotting down the clue, and Dead Boston invited them to sit on the couch and poured a glass of water for each of them.

Red Robin carefully observed this strong man, his complexion was pale and blue, his body muscles were smooth, he looked like he had undergone special training, his dark circles were heavy, his eyes were a little hollow, and more importantly, he had no body temperature, he really looked like a dead man.

"What are you doing with me?" His demeanor and expression were dull, and there was no living life at all.

"Kaz was taken away, it may be that the Demon Sect of the Blood Clan did it, or it may be that the Blood Queen Mary made her own decisions, and his contractor, the Skeleton King, could not contact him, so we hope that you can track down his aura and get him back. -

"Is there any need?" Dead Boston, who seemed uninterested, sat down on the couch next to the fireplace and said, "When Katz was an apprentice, he pushed his classmate off a cliff and hid his corpse for experiments, and his old and dim-eyed teacher thought he had found a gifted necromancer apprentice."

"We all know he's a bad seed." Jim shook his head and said, "But this means different, he has been promoted to archmage, and if he is taken away by vampires and brutally killed, there will be another bloody storm in the wizarding world."

"They're coming for me." Bennett said, "John saved me one more time, he dug me out of the cemetery of all souls in advance, or I would have been taken away."

"It's not that simple." Boston judged, "If they want to ask Kaz about your whereabouts, they don't have to take him away."

Several of them frowned, Boston obviously knew more, and he sighed softly and said, "You may think that necromancy is related to death, but on the contrary, the energy of necromancy is a kind of life energy, so it can get lifeless bones back on their feet."

"This is also the reason why the undead kings of hell always live in seclusion and do not deal with demons, they have nothing to do with violence and destruction, what they have and continue to desire is life force, and the same is true of the necromancers who have their power."

"Everybody

They know that vampires get their energy from human blood, but few know how they get it, and perhaps even they don't know it themselves."

Bennett frowned slightly, and when he saw that several people were looking at him, he shook his head lightly and said, "It was just an accident that I became a vampire, and I don't have a family lineage, so I don't know anything about it."

Boston went on to say, "The power that Kaz's contractor gave him was the life force, which he used to bring the dead back to life, and in the eyes of the vampires, Kaz's life force was an extremely valuable ingredient."

Konstantin's eyes narrowed slightly, but Red Robin said as if he had thought of something, "It's true that the woman who took Kaz behaved strangely, she ended up slitting Kaz's cheek and causing his blood to splash on the window, but doing so was of no use other than to leave more clues to the pursuers, except for ······."

"Unless she wants to taste it beforehand." Bennett continued, "I know Mary, she is not a person who can resist the temptation of power, she tasted Kaz's blood, and decided to take him away."

"The question is, who does she want to take him to?"

There was silence in the room, obviously, no one had an answer, and now there were not enough clues, and no one had the certainty of deducing the truth.

"Can you help us find him, then?" Konstantin looked at Boston again and asked.

"I'll do my best, but I must warn you that if they're so arrogant that they dare to suck the blood of an archmage with impunity, it's proof that they're not afraid to go to war with the wizarding world."

"The big deal is to fight another War of the Bloodline." Night Master Jim snorted coldly and said, "How we beat them back to their hometown in the first place, it will be the same this time."

Boston nodded and stood up, as if he wanted to get the spellcasting item, but at this time Konstantin stopped him, he glanced at Red Robin, and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you for, Boston, my apprentice Tim will contract demons for the first time, I already have a good candidate, but I want you to guard the circle by the side."

Boston frowned vigorously, looked back at Konstantin and said, "Aren't you adamant about not accepting apprentices? Why did you suddenly change sex?"

"You've been hiding here, so you don't know the biggest news in the wizarding world lately, Constantine washing his hands of gold, and one of his mysterious friends paying off all his debts."

Boston's eyes changed when he saw Konstantin, he took a step back, as if he wanted to stay away from Konstantin, Konstantin sighed and said, "I didn't cheat him this time, I don't have that much ability, and he's still alive, but he just doesn't want to show his face."

Boston stood there with a frown and struggled for a moment, but in the end he had to admit that Constantine, a liar recognized by heaven, hell and the human world, never told lies.

"Okay, you're lucky, but why did you drag this innocent young man into the water?"

"It's his own choice." Konstantin walked across from Boston and said, "Don't tell me you don't see that his ambition for power has doomed him to such a path, and with our guidance, he will not make too much trouble."

Boston turned his gaze to Red Robin's face, and after a moment he nodded and said, "You're always good at convincing everyone, John, come with me, I have all the materials in my basement."

"I'll wait for you here." Jim turned to look at them, and Bennett said, "Me too."

So, Boston, Constantine, and Red Robin went to the basement of Boston's hideout.

There was only a small light bulb in the dimly lit basement, and there were traces of complex magic circles on the cold ground, and the bottles and cans on the tables around them emitted a strange smell, which was not unpleasant, but only a little dizzy.

Red Robin was amazed to find that he had no fear, even though in the next few minutes he might have to face the dark side of this world that he had never faced before, but he searched his heart only with excitement.

In the office of Arkham Asylum, when Bruce hugged him, he looked relieved, and within the understanding of everyone, including Batman, he was

In gratitude for Batman's miracles, only he knows otherwise.

He was glad that Batman from another universe had actually gone the way of a shepherd, because it proved that they were really alike, and most alike, that they could never be anyone's little lamb.

Red Robin was commanded by Constantine to stand in the center of the circle, and Constantine walked up to him and said to him, "The object of the contract I have chosen for you is the ancestor of the Black Demon in Hell, the grandmother of Djeru that you saw in the Arkham Asylum that day, the Black Goat Demon known as the Black Ritatha."

"She is an extremely old demon, dating back to the Fall of Satan, and some say that she was a lamb in the Garden of Eden who was corrupted by the forces of darkness and thrown into Hell when Lucifer started the War of the Fall."

"Either way, she's older and wiser than most of the demons in Hell, and more stable, I haven't heard of her tormenting her own followers, but she doesn't have a direct agent, but I think you can convince her."

Red Robin took a deep breath and nodded, Constantine and Boston teamed up to draw the circle at his feet, and just as they were about to activate the circle, Red Robin suddenly stretched out a hand to stop them.

"What's wrong? Any questions?"

"Don't be nervous." At this time, Boston also intends to appease Red Robin, saying, "John and I will keep you safe, and even if you don't talk about being a demon, we won't hurt you."

"Don't worry, Tim, the demons have a good attitude towards mage apprentices, and even many demons are very good at coaxing children, this is the basic skill to trick you into signing a contract, even if the negotiation fails, they will not hurt people Once the reputation of violence spreads, no apprentice will look for them again."

"No, I don't mean that your circle is wrong." Red Robin said with great certainty.

Constantine and Boston were stunned for a moment, but at this time, Red Robin had already stepped out of the circle, stood at the front of the room and pointed to the complex pattern on the ground.

"Look at this rune, this rune should refer to "female", but the scope it delineates coincides with the rune that represents the mother of so-and-so······ And here, why is there so much redundancy here? It's completely unnecessary, so it's deleted, and it's all replaced with Enhanced....."

Konstantin and Boston glanced at each other, watching Red Robin pick up the materials and revise them on the circle, Boston swallowed and said, "Is he really your apprentice?"

"Yes now, but you won't want to know whose apprentice he was before."

Before Boston could ask, Red Robin clapped his hands and stood back in the center of the modified circle, looked at the two of them and said, "Alright, let's start."

Boston stepped forward with some hesitation and glanced at the magic circle that had been changed to something he couldn't understand at all, and said, "I have to warn you, kid, maybe you are talented in magic circles, but the magic circle that communicates with a certain demon is fixed like a phone number, and if you modify the magic circle to look like this, I can't guarantee whether the phone can get through."

"Forget it, try it, if it doesn't work, modify it back." Konstantin also stepped forward and said.

So, Boston half-knelt on the ground and placed his hand on the activation rune of the circle, and as the rich power of death spread, the circle gradually lit up.

Red Robin felt the scene before him be replaced by misty darkness and blood red, and in a trance, he heard a girl whispering in his ear, full of endless temptation.

So he followed Constantine's instructions and began to recite the honorific name and pray.

"Great Mother of Dark Demons, Black Goat, Evil Hell, Your True Name Reverberates in My Mind, I Pray for Your Arrival - Rita Shatath······

The seductive whisper grew stronger and stronger, but instead of feeling fear, Red Robin listened attentively, and then heard a trace of doubt in the murky whisper.

"Who's Ritasha?" A slightly hoarse female voice came.

Red Robin was stunned for a moment, but instinctively asked, "You're not 'black'

Ritatha's "? So who are you? "I'm Lilith."
