There was applause in the dean's office of the Rodriguez Academy, Konstantin applauded and laughed, he put one hand on Bruce's shoulder, laughed almost under the sofa, then he wiped the tears from his laughter, and said to Bruce: "The more Bruce who knows about the universe, the more bat dolls you will need, Schiller, you have to prepare a warehouse as soon as possible." ”

"To make amends for my misfortune?"

"The misfortune of you two." Zatanna shook her head and said, "Is there anything more coincidental in this world?" A one-of-a-kind master of psychology meets a one-of-a-kind Bruce Wayne who is not good at psychology, and you should find a counter to put him in for an exhibition - the only Batman in all the universe who will default on his homework. ”

"By no means the only one." Bruce shook his head in disapproval, picked a cigar from the humidor, cut it with a cigar cutter, and said, "We're going to find another one who doesn't turn in homework, I thought it would be this." ”

"You thought he was going to be worse than you." Schiller snorted, extinguished the first cigar that had burned out, then took the second one from Bruce's hand and leaned forward for Bruce to light the cigar for him. "That's why you got him here."

"Sorry for my mistake."

"It's less sincere than bat dolls, don't point to me preparing a warehouse for them, they shed their hair."

"It's impossible."

"It's just shedding."

"Oh my God, are you sure we'll find the key by digging this mountain open?" Barry was panting and slumped in a small valley of books, and Bruce and Hallie weren't much better, they were exhausted by only half of the digging.

The demonic tome is a large, heavy tome, and there are many of the writers who have been bewitched by the devil who apparently regard the length of the book as an important measure of their demonic favor, and are eager to write every trivial matter from birth to old age in those complicated words.

As a result, this mountain of books is actually much more difficult to dig than expected, and when Barry was halfway through the digging, he even thought that the answer might as well be hidden in the content of the book, and then he was shocked by this thought.

"Seriously, let's use a grenade, let's use one." Harley leaned over her knees and let out a long breath and said, "No matter what you guys are doing, I haven't done such heavy work since I was a child, and I'm dying of exhaustion!" ”

"And what's the heaviest job you've ever done?" Barry asked with a curious smile.

"Carry the corpses, four, no more."

Barry kept his mouth shut.

But in the end, after about half an hour of struggle, the three children still dug this huge mountain of books to the bottom, and then found a key at the bottom of the center of the mountain directly opposite the book mountain.

"You're a genius! Bruce! ”

Barry cheered, and Bruce Jr. let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at Barry, rarely without a word of mockery.

As soon as he opened the door with the key, a nondescript basement hallway appeared, except for a little light at the end of the hallway, and Barry walked in front with the unburned candlestick, and then saw a brightly lit room at the end of the hallway.

The room was half the size of the Great Hall, Barry thought, but the Great Hall of the Academy of Magic could hold two thousand people.

Bruce and Hallie walked into the room, both with their heads up, and it was a huge hall with four load-bearing pillars in the center of the hall with elaborate patterns carved into them, and the wall in front of them was draped with ornate blue curtains and gold patterns.

And the most striking thing is the circular circle painted in the center of this huge hall, which is an extremely complex circle composed of thousands of runes, which makes people dizzy just by looking at it.

At the very center of the circle was a circle with a radius of an arm's length, and it looked like there should have been something there, or maybe something would have appeared there once the circle was complete.

Harry's eyes narrowed, she had been in the magic academy for a few months, and she had a basic understanding of it, and she looked around the circle and said, "This is a protective circle based on divine power, but it was destroyed, and the runes here were erased. ”

"You mean the Philosopher's Stone has been stolen?!" Barry shouted in surprise.

"Nope." Little Bruce shook his head, he could also read the runes of divine power, and he said: "There is more than this defensive measure to protect the Philosopher's Stone, the moment the circle that activated the protective shield was destroyed, the container that kept the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, and the circle said so. ”

"So are we going to complete the circle of the shield, or are we going to find the container of the Philosopher's Stone again?"

Bruce looked around at the pillar around him, looked thoughtfully at the pattern on it, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, no, the pattern on this is a hint on how to break the protective shield." ”

"If we follow the instructions above to unprotect the shield, then the last protective measure will not take effect, the container will not be hidden, and we will be able to successfully obtain the Philosopher's Stone."

Bruce Jr. suddenly looked back at the missing corner of the huge circle, he stared at it for a moment, and then said, "And the person who destroyed this circle didn't use this method......"

"Could it be a different student ......?"

"Students can't do it!" Bruce was very sure of it, "It takes a lot of power, magic power, to be exact, amazing divine power!" ”

"Da, da, da."

There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind the curtain wall, and the three children turned their heads in unison to look in the direction from which the sound had come.

The secret door on the wall slowly opened, and a black-robed man appeared behind the wall, and Barry instinctively shouted, "Professor Rodriguez?!" ”

"No, it's not him!" Hallie nudged Barry back, and the man in front of her, though he was just as tall and thin, was clearly not the Professor Schiller she was familiar with.

When the black-robed man took off his hood, everyone was stunned, and Harley and Barry shouted his name in surprise at the same time.

"Roy?!"

"Is this another piece of yours?" Schiller asked, turning to Bruce.

Bruce didn't hide it too much, he nodded and said, "A few days ago, Roy came to me and said that he wanted to light the green light energy research and see if he could find a solution to the traffic jam in Gotham. ”

Strange frowned imperceptibly, Bruce looked at him and gestured to him, and then said: "That's it, he knows that this will attract the disgust of mages, no matter what world they are in, the vast majority of mages think that magic should not have much to do with ordinary people's society, and this is not something that ordinary people can use." ”

"In a sense, it does." Konstantin lit himself a cigar, took a deep breath and said, "Besides, I can't think of any benefit that green light energy can do to alleviate traffic jams." ”

"Obviously, portal."

"God!" Konstantin exclaimed in surprise and almost threw the cigarette out, he rolled his eyes wide, looked at Bruce and said, "Am you mistaken?!" The mages haven't had the luxury of using the portal yet, and he wants the portal to teleport the car?! ”

"So he's a normal guy." Bruce nodded and said, "Ordinary people often have such whimsy in their little heads. ”

"It's not going to work." Strange shook his head and said: "Even if the universe I am in is completely free of magical energy, it is difficult to put it into civilian use on a large scale, on the one hand, these energies are limited after all and should be used in more important places, on the other hand, they are too unstable and ordinary people are too fragile." ”

"But that's clearly not the case with the Gothams." Bruce sighed softly and said, "They are the only fragile creatures in the universe, and they don't realize the preciousness of something that will smash all the obstacles that stand in their way if it makes their lives a little better." ”

"So you made a deal?" Schiller tapped the cigar in his hand with his fingers.

"Yes, a deal."

"Miss Hallie, you should know who you or who you end up standing with." Roy's eyes fixed on the three children and said, "Are you going to go deep into the wizarding world and never return?" Have you decided to take on the future of the wizarding world? ”

"Anyway, that's not why you're here to steal the Philosopher's Stone!" Barry shook his fist in anger, he stared at Roy and said, "I agreed with what you said on TV, Gotham should be changed by the Gotham people themselves!" ”

"That's what I'm going to do to change Gotham." Roy took a few steps forward to the other end of the magic circle, faced the three children and said, "You see how much Gotham has changed, tourism will be the most important opportunity to change the economic system here, I have to solve the traffic problem here before the festival starts, I have no choice." ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Bruce Jr. asked with a frown.

"Give me the Philosopher's Stone." Roy turned his gaze to Bruce's face again and said.

"Did you destroy the magic array?" Bruce Jr. asked.

"Yes, it's me, I came here long before you."

"But you shouldn't have been able to do it."

Roy showed a sneer, raised his chin and took a step forward, "What a smart boy, just like your father, Bruce Wayne should be your father, right?" ”

"He's not."

"Then it's Thomas Wayne, and Martha Wayne."

"Don't mention my parents!"

"But that's exactly what they've been hoping for." Roy took two more steps forward, almost across the magic circle to Bruce Jr., staring at his blue eyes and saying, "They worked hard all their lives to change Gotham, and now they are almost successful." ”

"Roy, you should calm down." Hallie picked up the shotgun behind her back, aimed it at Roy and said.

"Who the hell should calm down?!" Roy turned to Harley with a cold face and said, "All of you have come to the inner world to build the magical realm you imagined, do you remember how the real Gotham crawled out of the mire?" In that case, why can't I get what I want? ”

"Magician? Scold. Roy snorted disdainfully from his lips as he said, "They can't do anything to contribute to the world...... Give me the Philosopher's Stone! ”

"You made a deal with the angels." Bruce said affirmatively looking at Roy's face.

"It was the angel who made the deal with me." Roy turned his head abruptly to stare at Bruce Jr.

In an instant, little Bruce saw a pair of blue eyes in his ordinary eyes, bluer than the sky.

Little Bruce took a few steps back and shook his head vigorously as if he had been hit in the head with a heavy hammer, and Roy pressed closer, he looked at Little Bruce and said, "I should have let him control you to come here, only you can find the hidden container, you are as smart as your father." ”

"Boom!"

Harley fired the shotgun directly, but a curtain of divine power appeared on Roy's side, completely blocking the bullet, and Barry was stunned.

"Roy, you're crazy!" There was a hint of anxiety in Harley's voice, the situation was completely unexpected, and she was completely unsure if it was part of the trial.

"Give me the Philosopher's Stone!"

Bruce Jr. took a few deep breaths, then he looked up into Roy's eyes and said, "I don't know where the container is!" ”

"But you can crack the circle!"

"I need time!"

Roy's footsteps stopped, he tilted his head slightly, looked at little Bruce with cold eyes and said, "...... You'd better hurry. ”

Bruce Jr. immediately glanced at the other two, and then he said to Roy, "I need help from both of them." ”

"You don't ......"

"If you still want to know where the container is, listen to me." Little Bruce walked to the center of the circle and said, "Otherwise, you will find the old death with the stupid angel above your head!" ”

Roy stood in silence and looked at them before he said, "You'd better give me a satisfactory result." ”

"We will."

The three of them came together in the center of the circle, and Barry looked at Bruce and said, "You don't really want to ......"

"I can find it." Bruce Jr. said this, but gave the two of them a look, and the meaning of the look completed the second half of the sentence, and his original meaning was "I can find a way to get out of here".

Then, the three of them began to focus on the characterization of the circle, basically Bruce Jr. directing the other two to operate, Harley occasionally giving advice, and Barry was nervous, but his movements were not slow.

In less than ten minutes, many runes in the center of the circle were modified, and Roy asked a little gloomy, "How long will it take?" ”

"Stand out of the way, we're going to activate the circle."

"Don't play tricks on me......"

"You have angels to help you, are you still worried about us escaping?"

Roy took two steps back in silence, and Bruce drew the final stroke of the rune, and in an instant, golden light swung out from the center of the circle.

But the container doesn't show up, and Bruce Jr. gives Roy a wicked smile and says, "We're going to find the container, goodbye!" ”

In the next second, their figures disappeared into the golden light.

"He can read the runes of divine power, so he knows that the container is not hidden, but teleported, so naturally he will think that since this magic circle can teleport the container, it can teleport them, which is the best way to get out."

Bruce's voice echoed through the room, and Konstantin asked with some confusion, "So where did they teleport to?" ”

The image on the screen suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and the magic power began to be a little unstable, and just as Konstantin and Zatanna stood up together, the image suddenly reappeared.

The three children fell from mid-air and slammed into the reddish-brown carpet, and behind them was an antique meditation room, and Schiller's eyes widened slightly.

Just when Constantine and Zatanna were confused, Strange stood up and looked at Bruce, then smiled, stood on the screen with his arms outstretched and said.

"Welcome to Kama Taj Academy of Magic!"

It's all sewn on!
