Chapter 1649: No Time to Die (12)

In a slightly dimly lit conference room, with several people sitting at a circular conference table, Strange sat in the main seat with a stack of materials in his hand, he stood up and waved to the left and right, and everyone else nodded to him.

Schiller, who was sitting next to Strange, picked up his hand and put it on the table, saying, "I have gathered everyone this time because His Majesty the Supreme Mage from other universes has some opinions to express on the magic situation in this universe, and at the same time, you should also be curious about the situation in the magic world of other universes, and Professor Strange will explain it to you carefully." ”

Strange nodded, and he stood up, pacing the front of the conference room as he began to talk about how the universe in Marvel World, the Holy of Holies of Holy, Kama Taj, and the wizarding world in general worked.

Because the situation was somewhat complicated, it took Strange a full forty minutes to finish the lecture, and he didn't even go into great detail, just a general structure.

In addition to the people in the wizarding world, such as Konstantin, Zatanna, Master Andrew, and Lady Shangdu, the triumvirate of the Justice League, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, Green Lantern Hal and Green Arrow Oliver also came, and even ordinary people such as Falcone Jr. and Colpote, as well as Roy, the mayor of Gotham City, were all sitting around the conference table.

After all, when it came to building an academy of magic in Gotham, the wizarding world was closely related to these people, and everyone present was confused except for Bruce, Roy, and Alberto, who understood some of what Strange was saying.

The main reason is that if Strange only talks about economics, then most people can understand it, and if he only talks about the wizarding world, most people can understand it, but when these two are combined, there is a kind of confusion and beauty of green onions grafted on apple trees, and many people don't react for a while.

They digested it for another half an hour before they could barely understand some of it, and then Strange stood at the table, knocked on the table with the papers in his hand, and said, "Wake up, friends, humanity is about to be destroyed in your hands, why are you not in a hurry?" ”

"Now that the wizarding world has experienced a catastrophe and its numbers have plummeted, do you think those demons and angels will accept the result of their income plummeting? Predictably, they will find ways to lure more humans into this scam. ”

"But they won't say it's their fault, they have a good excuse, which is that the human mages have played so much to their death, then they deserve to add the believers, and they may even demand compensation from us."

"How can they be allowed to bully humans like this?" Green Arrow Oliver slapped the table, stood up and said, "What lawlessness! Is there no one to take care of it? ”

It was also the first time Hal had heard of this situation in the wizarding world, and he pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I'm talking about it, but how can the mages wait until the situation has deteriorated to the point where they can't react?" ”

"They haven't even fully reacted yet." Konstantin tilted his head to the side and said, "As far as I know, there are some middle school magic associations that are popular in London, and what kind of graffiti spray painting of the Mother of Darkness is starting to be popular in community middle schools, but even if I know that this is not children's play at all, there is nothing I can do. ”

"Do you realize what is causing this completely passive situation?" Strange asks a question.

Suddenly, the bottom began to reply, some said that the demon was too cunning, some said that the angels did not fulfill their responsibilities, and some said that human nature should be so depraved, Strange listened helplessly.

"Haven't you noticed the biggest difference between our two worlds? - The Earth I'm on has a magical defense network. ”

There was a moment of silence in the arena, and everyone turned their eyes to Strange, and the smarter ones realized that Bruce said, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

"In ancient times, the archmage of the earth used almost all energy, and even sacrificed his own life to build the initial magic defense network, the most important role of this network is to make it impossible for any demon god to spy on the earth at will."

"Is your defense network strong enough to kill all the demon gods?" Konstantin asked.

"On the contrary, it's enough to kill all humans."

There was a sudden dead silence in the room, Strange straightened up his body and raised his chin slightly, and said in a cold tone: "From beginning to end, the purpose of the mage to establish this magical network is to bring the entire human race on earth to die together. ”

"Of course, the demon gods can attack this magic network at will, but they know very well that once the mages are completely unable to defend against them, we will directly detonate the earth's magic defense network and drag all humans to die together, and they will not think of anything."

"Human faith is special and we have value." Strange bowed his head slightly and said, "The particularity of humanity itself is the most important resource we can use, and all beings outside of humanity must be made aware that they are forcing humanity to obtain nothing but destruction. ”

"It is difficult to destroy these powerful beings, but it is easy to destroy humanity." Strange returned his gaze to the table and continued, "How dare they be so arrogant as long as you make them aware that you could destroy themselves at any moment?" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was silent, it was Bruce who was the first to speak, and he put his fist to his mouth and coughed, "Building a protective shield for the earth is not only for these purposes, but also for the last line of defense in case of invasion by other alien life." ”

"That's right." Hal spoke, "The universe is not as safe as it seems. ”

"We don't necessarily have to detonate it, do we?" Clark leaned forward and said, "Just like a nuclear bomb, the greatest value is the deterrent power it had when it didn't explode." ”

Schiller silently glanced over, Clark saw his expression, showed him a bright smile with a slight apology, and even reached out and pulled his arm, Schiller could only shake his head helplessly.

"But how are we going to put a cover on the earth?" Zatana scratched her head vigorously and said, "If the human mages in their heyday were united, maybe it would still be possible, but now everyone is dead and wounded, and the rest are fighting separately, and they are not united at all. ”

"Since it's not to forcibly stop the demon god, it doesn't have to be to use magic to build a protective shield." Konstantin touched his chin and said, "Anyway, it's just a deterrent, and it's okay to build a power grid that can destroy the earth." ”

"The problem is that we can't let ordinary people know." Diana frowned and said, "That would cause panic, and to have both concealment and a certain amount of protection, only magic can do it." ”

"Not necessarily." When Schiller spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him, but Schiller turned to look at Hal.

Hal was stunned for a moment, and Bruce rolled his eyes and said: "Indeed, we also have a fairly convenient energy, which is very suitable for building an earth defense network, which is both stealthy and protective. ”

"You mean green light energy?" Diana opened her mouth in some surprise, she thought for a while and said, "When building the space station, I saw Hal use this kind of energy, which does meet the requirements for building a defense network, but where can we get so much green light energy?" ”

Hal stiffened for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm afraid we don't need to get any more green light energy." ”

"What do you mean......

With a "bang", the entire room was engulfed in green light, and the green light energy crystals like a mountain were released by Hal.

Then Hal crossed his arms and stared at Schiller and said, "Don't tell me, you've been thinking about this day for a long time." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Schiller's face again, and Schiller's expression was still calm, and he said, "I want to be in front of everyone." ”

Quite tactful, but well understood, Konstantin smiled at Schiller and said, "We'll try to catch up with you half as smart, Professor Schiller, but only next time." ”

"What's going on?" Strange was a little surprised and said, "Is it so hard to say 'thank you' and 'thanks to you'?" And, what about me? ”

Bruce stood up and shook Strange's hand, looked at Strange with those blue eyes, and said very sincerely: "Although you said before that you are not modest, I still want to say that you are a little presumptuous in the key aspects of the analysis of the problem. ”

Alberto walked quickly to Strange's side, shook his hand vigorously, and said, "Your wisdom and experience will be a boon to Gotham and the entire wizarding world, Your Excellency Supreme Mage." ”

The others took turns shaking his hand, and Strange was busy like a spinning top, and after everyone had left to prepare for the Magical Defense Network, he let out a sigh of relief, shrugged his shoulders at Schiller, and said, "I've never heard so many complex adjectives in my life, and each of them has more than seven letters, right?" ”

"At least twelve." Schiller stood up, beckoned to Strange and said, "Although we have to build a defense network, we can't delay recruiting students, it seems that they are all busy, and we need to deal with some chores ourselves." ”

Strange followed Schiller to another room, which looked like a special room in the castle for sending and receiving letters, with several very heavy-looking dark brown writing desks and bookshelves so large that they took up an entire wall, piled high with letters.

"These are all the letters of acceptance that we're going to send out, and now we're going to stuff them in envelopes, secure them with the messenger, and deliver them to the students who are going to be admitted."

Strange nodded, not understanding how such a simple process could be explained, but soon Schiller led him through one door in one room to another.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Strange was stunned by the tens of thousands of bats in the entire gothic spire lobby.

The bats hung densely on the spire dome, some still hovering in mid-air, and a bat grazed the back of Strange's head, causing him to stagger forward, followed by a bat that hit him in the face.

"Bang!"

"Whew!"

Strange danced like an electric shock and swooped back into another room, looking horrified at the bats that filled the hall, shouting, "Could this be the messenger you were talking about?!! …… Why bats??? ”

Schiller also looked a little helpless standing in the middle of a pile of bats, he sighed and said, "You may not believe it, but the only creatures in this city that don't go crazy after being enchanted are bats, so we can only use this." ”

"What about owls? Isn't that magic academy in your mind tower an owl? ”

"We people here have owl allergies, not to mention owls."

And when Strange saw the box of bat-shaped envelopes that Schiller had brought out of a pile of bookshelves, the bat-patterned fire paint, and the bat-shaped doll that came with the admission letter, he stared at Schiller with wide eyes as if he didn't know Schiller.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know why he likes bats so much."

"Who?"

"The big guy who sponsors the whole school, the school you see, and even the whole city, was built by him - the same student you met with me earlier."

"......Shh

"If you really can't accept the image of a bat, you can stand there and I'll ......"

"No, I'm asking, if I can get him more bat toys, can he sponsor the Holy of Holies?"
