Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly, also looking a little surprised, until he looked the death knell up and down at a rapid pace, and then said, "How much did the person who asked you to rob this thing give you?" I'll give you double. ”

"I don't take orders." Deathstroke's hand was on the hilt of the sword behind his back, and Bruce said, "Did he tell you that you were dealing with a magician?" ”

"Of course, he paid the price accordingly."

Death Knell began to approach the two of them quickly, Bruce glanced at Zatana, Zatana's speed of reaction and her long-term strategy were completely polar, and she didn't even raise her hand, she said directly to Deathstroke: "'Rina is stopping'!" ”

The death knell stopped there, and Bruce spread his hands as if he had let his guard down and said, "They certainly didn't tell you that they were dealing with such a mage......"

Zatanna breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly she saw one of Bruce's hands wave twice to the right, which was their agreed retreat.

Without thinking about it, she opened the portal in an instant, and disappeared into the Oblivion Bar with Bruce, and within the second they disappeared, two sharp sword lights slashed through the bar.

Zatanna took Bruce to her house, and a second before she disappeared, she saw the weapon-wielding Death Knell rushing towards them, she clutched her chest and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?!" How could he not be bound by my rhetorical magic?! ”

"Knell is the strongest mercenary in the world, with a 100 percent success rate in his missions, and many people think that his strong force and skillful use of several weapons are the key to his success, but I know that this is not the key."

"I was curious about how he did it, so I launched a series of investigations, and I later found out that his strength lies in intelligence, as long as the mission targets have existed in this world, he knows them thoroughly, and he will not fight unprepared battles."

"I dare to say that after he took this order and learned about the existence of the mage, he went to collect all the information about the mage he might meet, and made countermeasures, who in this world can target your anti-speech magic?"

Zatanna frowned and said, "Actually, there are a lot, but most of them are in the case of sneak attacks, although the anti-speech magic is easy to cast, I don't have the ability to predict, and I am easy to be sneak attacked or stepped on by traps." ”

"But if I'm in good shape, almost no mage can deal with me in frontal combat, and if I have to say it, Konstantin is one, his way of fighting is so weird, I never know if he was really hit or pretended."

"As for the other ......," Zatanna was about to say "no more," when a name popped into her mind, and she pondered, "maybe the witch Cersie could too." ”

Bruce thought of some of the magic texts he had seen, saying that Cersei was a famous evil witch in antiquity, who slaughtered kingdoms, wantonly turned people into animals, and built high walls between men and women.

"A witch probably wouldn't hire mercenaries, Deathstroke probably learned about Cersie's ability to counter the magic of rhetoric somehow, and went to work with her, or they simply ran into her, and then Deathstroke robbed her, but no matter what, because your magic didn't catch us this time, Deathstroke will continue to find a way."

"His attitude shows that between the two of us he values you more and sees your rhetorical magic as a greater threat, so it is very likely that he will go to Cersie or the other magicians again, and once he mentions the piece you and I are holding, Cersei or the other remaining magicians will realize that the piece we have is different from everyone else."

Zatanna immediately tensed, and she glanced down at the black, shimmering prism she held in her hand, and Bruce then speculated.

"The Eclipse is self-intelligent, and if someone touches it, it will tell them that there is a core fragment that has been left out, and that this fragment must be obtained in order to obtain the full Heart of Darkness."

"Even if Deathstroke doesn't bring the news out, Gabriel who has run away will definitely release the news, so that all the people who are looking for the debris will besiege us...... Let's go, back to Gotham. ”

Before Zatana could quite keep up with Bruce's train of thought, she opened the portal and asked, "Why go back to Gotham?" ”

"Is there any other place in this world other than Gotham that can withstand a magical war of this magnitude? I've helped Gotham so much, and it's time for it to help me. ”

After saying that, he walked into the portal with Zatana, and the two of them appeared on the roof of Wayne Building, Bruce didn't say much, walked directly into the building through the rooftop door, and took the elevator to Thomas's office.

Thomas frowned when he saw Bruce's figure, but Bruce told him without any nonsense: "I got the core fragment of the dark heart that sealed the angry spirit, and now the whole wizarding world is probably looking for me, I need your help, we have to hold the core fragment, and at the same time get the remaining fragments from the people who rushed to attack." ”

Thomas's face immediately became serious, and looking at Bruce, who turned his head, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, any father would be moved by the fact that his son was the first to find himself when he was in trouble.

Thomas immediately stood up and walked towards the door, and without looking back, said, "Come with me, we need to renovate the Bat Cave." ”

"It's too late." Bruce said in a calm tone, "The news will spread in three days, and they will come here within a week at the latest, and they will be caught in the urn if they stay in the bat cave that has not been completely renovated." ”

"And where are you going to guard?"

"New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital."

Bruce's next stop was Gotham University, and after first going to Lex Luthor and explaining the ins and outs of the situation, he put the black diamond he had obtained on the table, and Lex touched his chin and said, "If, according to you, the people who get this black diamond will hear the voice in their heads and get the power that this voice gives them, then it is likely that these are two systems." ”

"The black diamond sends a signal to the human brain, and reads feedback from the brainwave to achieve communication, which is the first system, after getting the communication results, triggering a certain mechanism inside the black diamond to release a part of the power and conduct it into the human body, which is the second system."

"Instead of spending power to read how they communicate in the human brain, or find a way to block them after the other party gains power, it is better to directly block the signal that the black diamond communicates with the person and the band in which it sends power."

"But time is too short." Lex shook his head and said, "Give me two weeks, and I can directly make the black diamond no longer affect any humans, but in just one week, I can only interfere, and I can't completely cut it off." ”

"Alright, that's it, the New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital has the most advanced equipment I can build at this stage, and I'll get a few helpers to help you move the equipment for researching the weather controller and the Ark reactor, and you can go there to study it."

Lex nodded and said, "No problem, then we'll see you at the New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital." ”

Bruce then went to Victor and his wife Nora, who was teaching Nora how to practice guns and use the cryo weapons he had invented, and Victor frowned when he heard Bruce's intentions, but said, "I can help you, but you said that there are probably some magicians who have gained the power of the Wraith, and I'm not sure if my cryo weapons can still freeze such people." ”

"We're going to hold on Villain Island, so it's not important if we can trap it, it's about blocking it."

Hearing Bruce's words, Victor frowned, he looked at Bruce with a strange expression and said, "If you hadn't been in Gotham lately, I would have thought you were spying on me." ”

Victor walked over to the test bench, rummaged through the cabinet below, and said, "I focused on miniaturization and super-largeness, and the representative works of frozen weapons are the Freeze Gun and the Blizzard generator that can freeze the entire Gotham. ”

"But Nora disagrees with this route, she thinks that medium frozen weapons are the best for Gotham street fighting, so with the two of us working together, we came up with this."

Victor held a rectangular box like a brick in his hand and pointed to it and introduced to Bruce, "This is the Ice Wall Generator, the inspiration that Schiller gave me before, and he said that some of his friends came up with the idea after reading my research results." ”

"The method of use is very simple, put this thing on the ground, as long as it bursts, it will immediately form a dense ice wall, theoretically speaking, the overall strength of dense ice is very high, not inferior to any kind of metal, and at the same time, before the energy is exhausted, the ice wall will repair itself, and due to the special molecular structure of dense ice, the repair speed is very fast."

"In addition, there are many pieces of equipment that are not fully completed, such as the Ice Pick Automatic Turret, Protective Ice Shield, Ice Mist Deceleration Force Field, etc., and if you are not in a hurry, there are more than a dozen medium weapons on the way."

"Good." Bruce said quickly, "I believe that the cryogenic laboratory of New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital can fully meet the research needs of you and your wife, and you can continue to refine these weapons there in peace of mind for the next few days." ”

"Of course, the hardware there is the best in the world, if you don't mind, I can call a few of my old friends together, it will be much more efficient, my recent academic achievements make them jealous, those unique and advanced equipment are enough to fool them."

"See you at the new Arkham Psychiatric Hospital."

"Goodbye."

Later, Bruce managed to find Pamela in the cafeteria, Pamela wiped her mouth with a napkin and looked at him and said, "You have only been graduating for a few days, and you have provoked a large group of magicians, Mr. Wayne, do you have a grudge against the quiet life?" ”

Then she sighed again and said, "What a coincidence that you have come, I am worried that no one will be able to see my recent academic achievements." ”

"Academic achievements? Did you make a seed that you could grow in Gotham? ”

"On the contrary, I got everything but seeds that could be planted in Gotham."

Ten minutes later, Pamela said in her botany lab, pointing to the flower pots that filled the table and even the walls.

"Introduction, this is beating cabbage, this is beating mustard, this is beating lettuce, this is beating lettuce, this is beating arugula, this is beating artichoke......"

Then she walked to the door of the warehouse, opened the door, pointed in, and said.

"These are even more heavyweights, this is the explosives pitcher Wheat, this is the high-pressure water gun rice, this is the mine sweet potato, this is the drowned ghost maker Macrophylla ......"

Bruce was dumbfounded.
