"Are you sure you want to tear it down?"

Beyond the lakeside of the ruins of Hogwarts, by the Hodsmeade Village station, Zakon looked at Mason who picked up an engineering wrench and gestured at the front of the magic train.

Glancing again, he glanced at the Fenrir armor that had been placed on the platform and was being watched in awe by a group of pirates, looking in awe as they stood like mechanical giants in the moonlight.

He flicked his tongue and said:

"I'll admit this alchemy engine looks interesting, but there's no way it's the size of a bat boy fit into that cool armor, right?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Mason glanced up at Zakang and said:

"Is it just this simple job of putting one thing inside another? Have your people come and take it down! Now that I've drawn the drawings and understood how this thing works, I just need to look at the actual thing to confirm my idea of making it smaller. ”

"Will it work?"

Zakon is a magical genius, but he's also a mechanical idiot.

His understanding of these engineering objects was limited to exclaiming, "Unclear", when he saw them.

But at Mason's request, he rolled up his sleeves and beckoned the pirates of the Black Pearl, who had already been trained to the same level, to come forward and help.

Mason had already disassembled the alchemy engine used in this magic train last time, and this time he was familiar with it.

He used an engineering wrench to disassemble the parts while telling the pirates to carry them out and place them on the platform in order.

The wizard's demands must be carried out conscientiously.

The pirates were also obediently trying to make a good impression in front of Mason's eyes.

The most obedient of them have been sent to another world to enjoy the blessings of Captain Jack, and the rest of them will naturally have to take the opportunity to behave well and escape from this ruined world full of "magical ghouls".

Dozens of people worked together to quickly transfer the alchemy engine to the platform, and Mason took out the drawings that had already been analyzed and drawn to compare the real thing in front of him.

After aspiring to become a master of manufacturing, this was his first attempt to use a combination of techniques to complete his first memorable "big project".

He's going to miniaturize the alchemy engine and send it into the Fenrir Warframe as its energy hub.

"I said, why are you bothering to do this?"

Using a teleportation spell to send the pirates back to the Forbidden Forest's Mage Tower, he stayed by Mason's side and grumbled with a cigarette in his mouth:

"Since this is Batboy's own battle armor, he must have a power battery that can adapt to this thing, with your relationship with him, why don't you just ask for one?

I don't know anything about mechanics, though.

But I don't think you would be able to put an engine on a train in a Warframe that would turn out to be too good. ”

"I could get a nuclear battery from Wayne Industries' cutting-edge lab, but why would I do that?"

Mason used his engineering knowledge to revise the drawings, saying:

"Other people's things are always someone else's, and I don't like to pin my life on someone else.

I managed to find Judy to help me remove all Batman-related elements from this armor and unlock the DNA lock, so why do I want to repeat the same mistake and send it back to Bruce?

John, if the Justice League does come to beat us up, you'd better pray that I can finish this thing before then. ”

As he spoke, Mason raised his head and looked at the idle Zakang, and took out a large package of enchantment and inscription materials prepared in advance from his suitcase, and said to Zakang:

"If you're idle, why don't you help me complete the armor inscription for Fenrir's armor?"

"You're kidding!"

Zakang's eyes widened, and he said:

"You're going to engrave runes on such a big lump? Is it going to be fully enchanted again? Are you ready to transform it into a weapon that combines technology and magic?

What an idea!

But no.

The steel of this armor is not magic metal, it is strong enough but the energy conductivity is too poor. ”

"Magic metal, we have it in our hands."

Mason said without raising his head:

"All you have to do is design a powerful inscription and enchantment system, and I'll do the work of replacing the magic metal inside it. Oh yes, and this one! ”

The young man took out the tattered anti-superman armor from the suitcase again, snapped his fingers at Zakang and said:

"By the way, I also designed this suit with a 'magic armament', and the functions of shields, rays, energy absorption and emission, etc., were all reorganized.

That shouldn't bother you, right?

In the future, when our system matures, I will get a set of armor for each of you, otherwise the other squads will see it and think we can't afford to wear it. ”

Mason is crazy about drawing flatbread, but the cunning Zakang is just not fooled.

Konstantin had seen the world, he picked up the pile of magic materials and looked at the two sets of combat weapons beside him, one large and one small, and said:

"By the time you can rub this armor out of it, I don't think you need them to take down a demon knight like Brad with your bare hands.

Hey, once I've learned all the secret legacies of Grindelwald's dark magic and Shinto magic institutes, watch me go back and beat up that unknown bastard. ”

"You don't have to wait until you're good, now you have a chance to beat him up."

Mason used a ruler and a drawing pen to make changes to the drawings in front of him.

The knowledge in his mind kept tumbling and enlivening his mind, and all kinds of whimsical ideas were splashing and he was constantly revising the original design of the alchemy engine in front of him.

While he was drawing, he said to Za Kang:

"Since Jason Brad is unreasonably targeting our people, then we don't need to talk to him about any more rules. I've decided to take Mr. Sandstorm with me when we go hunt for him this time.

The strength of the veteran Trail Blazers squad is strong, and we may need a little 'outside help' as well.

If Jason Brad is a righteous devilman as you say, then he will understand the meaning of our existence in this world when he sees the K-Team and the Hounds of the Star Society fighting to the death. ”

"Good idea."

Konstantin spat out the smoke ring and said faintly:

"But what are you going to do? Brad is not one of those rookies who can be deceived by your words.

That guy had lived for over a thousand years, and he was one of King Arthur's most relied on Knights of the Holy Grail in his time, and even though he didn't make it to the Council of the Round Table, he was not to be underestimated.

Not to mention that he also has a 'demonic friend' who helps him with advice.

The combat power of the superior demon Itreigan is beyond your imagination, Mason, if you don't get it right, Mr. Sandstorm will not be killed, but our K team will be eaten alive by that crazy and tyrannical guy.

Demons generally have bad tempers. ”

"That's right, I haven't seen demons, but I know they're bad-tempered."

Mason nodded and said:

"So, John, can you forcibly awaken that demon inside Jason Bullard? A knight who has lived for a thousand years can certainly maintain his sanity under the deliberate temptation to not follow us through that door, but if it is a demon that has lost control and has been provoked, I think the probability of us being able to deceive it is very high. ”

"!"

Za Kang viciously smashed the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, stepped on it, and raised his middle finger at Mason and scolded:

"I knew I should be wary when you suggested you had an idea, and you were going to push me into the fire pit?

You bastard captain! I've been working hard since I joined Team K, so why do you have to do something so dangerous? ”

"Those who can work harder."

Mason sighed and said:

"Besides, no one but you can use that advanced magic. I can make some magic scrolls now, but I don't think I can make such a high-level scroll with my poor inscription skills, so you're the only one to come.

But I'm not going to let you do it for nothing, John.

You know me, I've always been generous, why don't you let you challenge the loot first this time? Or will I give it to you after I make the Super Soldier Serum? ”

"What the hell is that? Why does it sound so evil? ”

Zakang picked up a cigarette again and asked.

Mason recounted the effectiveness of the alchemy recipe he had obtained at the trade fair.

After hearing that the injection of that serum could make his physique beyond the limits of human beings in all aspects and enter the realm of superhumanism, Konstantin narrowed his eyes and was obviously attracted.

He has his own bunch of troubles.

As he himself said, there are a bunch of bad guys who covet his soul all the time in the "above" and "below" of the world of Gotham.

In the past, Konstantin could do anything to protect himself, but now he has joined Team K, so that he can hide in other parallel worlds, and finally have a leisurely time without being disturbed.

But those troubles will not die on their own, so Zakang is also constantly strengthening his strength in his own way.

He studied the dark arts of Grindelwald, the secret techniques of the Shinto Magic Institute, and collected all kinds of strange magic books in the Star Castle for this purpose.

He's one of the K-Squad members who has the most desperate need for power.

Therefore, after more than ten seconds of consideration, Zakang took a deep breath of smoke, glanced at Mason, and said:

"Okay, deal. I can help you this time at the risk of offending Brad completely, but you're going to get that super soldier serum out for me within a month.

If it doesn't have any side effects, as you say, then I owe you a favor.

Alas, magic is also very troublesome, and I actually have a lot of dangerous forbidden arts, but my mortal body can't withstand the backlash of that kind of high-level magic. ”

"Well, if you can accept that you have a second personality in your mind. I can make you a similar superhuman potion right now. ”

Mason pointed to his head and whispered:

"The recipes are all here, I've tried them before. As long as you nod your head, John, you'll be a super strong guy in no time, and it's just a little risk.

Anyway, in terms of how bad your life is, it's not a big deal to have an extra second personality, and on the bright side, you can still talk to yourself. ”

", I don't need a second personality to talk to myself, and my life has fallen into the mire, do you still want me to backstroke in the stinky mire?"

Za Kang scolded:

"To use the best, use the best! Don't try to trick me into giving you another test, you bastard. You've been writing and drawing for so long, haven't you done it yet? Do you have pig's trotters on your arms? ”

"Don't scold, it's already designed."

Mason picked up the intricate drawing in his hand.

It was a miniaturized alchemy engine, about the same size as the engine on his flying motorcycle.

However, the internals used by the large engine of the magic train have been retained and improved to ensure that the little thing is powerful enough to support the Fenrir Warframe at full strength.

Before they got their hands on a super-tech like the Ark reactor, this thing was the best power source Mason could find.

Moreover, it was designed by wizards, so it naturally fits perfectly into the requirements of some magic charges, and there is no need to even do complex "normal energy/mana" conversions.

This couldn't be more convenient for Mason who wants to transform a Fenrir Warframe into a Tech/Magic Warframe.

"The only problem now is that I need to improve my engineering skills a little bit more to make it, and I need to build a professional engineering lab."

Mason rubbed his chin and looked at his drawings and said:

"You can't really rub these delicate parts out by hand, it's not scientific or magical at all."

"One more question!"

Zakang, who was circling around the tattered Superman armor to conceive a magic enhancement plan for it, looked up and said to Mason:

"All of BatBoy's weapons are designed and manufactured according to the 'don't kill' rule.

His armor is equipped with non-lethal weapons, which are what Bruce Wayne can play with, and non-lethal weapons are not very good for the scene we are facing.

You'll have to find a way to equip these two warframes with more powerful weapon systems.

But I don't think you need to rush it, because we have a better option than stealing from Wayne Industries' military labs. ”

Konstantin spat out the smoke ring and said to Mason:

"Didn't you say that the afterlife team with the technology of the future has a grudge against that sandstorm? Once we've taken out Sandstorm, wouldn't it be cooler to extort some more destructive weapons from our allies and equip them? ”

"Now we're in this together, John."

Mason grinned and said:

"The various black technologies mastered by the afterlife team are also a treasure trove, we must be good at digging out the urgently needed knowledge from them, these two things are put here for you first, and I will go back.

Tomorrow night bring magic metal to give them a 'spellcasting system'. ”

"What are you going back to?"

Zakang pouted and said:

"Be careful of being caught and tortured by Brad, the punishment of demons is notoriously perverted, so it's better to stay here."

"I want to too, but don't you have to go to work tomorrow morning?"

Mason sighed and said:

"Dr. Leslie has been very nice to me, and I'm going to keep practicing my first aid skills so that you don't have to be treated in that critical situation.

This is a life-threatening matter, and there is no room for carelessness.

Also, did the two wizarding traitors who stayed with you ask something? ”

"No, it's hard."

Za Kang snorted and said:

"They are all high-level wizards, and the effect of the truth elixir on them is also limited.

If you will, my dear captain, perhaps I can use some less 'humane' methods to ask for the information we need. ”

"Whatever you want."

Mason pushed his hat, looked at the ruins of Hogwarts in the distance, and said:

"Just remember to keep your life alive.

When they choose to betray their world, we don't need to talk to them about human rights, and maybe their screams can bring to rest the wraiths of this apocalyptic wasteland.

So be it.

I'll go back first. ”

He said goodbye to Zakon and used the World Gate to return to the secret base in Port Miller.

On the way back to the shop, he was very careful, and as he approached Crime Alley, the Sorting Hat, which had not moved, suddenly reminded Mason:

"Look at the area to the left of the third little advertisement under the telephone pole on the right in front of you! That's right, it's a few lines below the small advertisement that claims to be aphrodisiac, read it carefully! ”

"Huh?"

Mason followed the Sorting Hat's intricate directions, where a barely visible glimmer of light danced in the depths of the night.

This is also when Mason can sense the flow of magic because he has magic fire, and he will never notice anything like a child's graffiti if he is not reminded of it.

"It's a dark spell to monitor what's going on around you, like a demon's eye."

The Sorting Hat whispered:

"It won't take more than thirty minutes to fail, Mason. That demon knight, Jason Brad, has locked on you, and he'll act as soon as you show any suspicious moves. ”

"Hmm."

Mason stood in front of the small advertisement on the telephone pole and looked at it carefully, his expression as if "my illness is finally cured," and then walked away a little speechlessly as a drunken sister passed by looked at him with disdain.

In the laughter from behind, he whispered a little tiredly:

"Don't worry, Hat, he won't affect your revenge, I promise."

"It's our revenge!"

The Sorting Hat corrected in the voice of that old man:

"I already sense that you are about to be drawn into a terrible trouble that may take up a lot of your time and postpone the sweet moment of revenge.

That's something I don't want to see, so I've decided to give you one more thing to help you get through this. Don't be afraid, the blood oath of revenge has been made, and as you said, we are already our own people, so we will not ask you to do dangerous things again.

However, I would like to make it clear up front that you may have to figure out how to make it up first. ”
