329. Life is the road to death
On the surface, Adriana is indeed asking for Black Adam's help.
But how to say it, her request is inevitably too insincere.
Don't say that Black Adam, who doesn't know anything about the situation, even Roy, after hearing Adriana say this, he won't have the idea of helping to drive out the International Gang.
If you ask for someone, you should look like you are asking for someone!
You know, it's not Black Adam's obligation to help drive out the International Gang.
Although he liberated Kandak from King Akdun thousands of years ago, this does not mean that he has an obligation to drive out the Internationals.
After hearing Roy's words, Adriana reacted and realized that her request just now was a little too reasonable.
She's not the kind of person who knows she's wrong and doesn't admit it.
After being reminded by Roy, she immediately said to Black Adam:
"Mr. Tess Adam, I'm sorry, I took it for granted, I'm sorry!"
Black Adam looked at Adriana and didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
"Let's put aside the matter of driving out the International Gang for a while, and we'll deal with another matter now."
"The Shabak Crown has been obtained, what are you going to do with the Shabak Crown next?"
Roy asked Adriana.
Forehead......
Adriana immediately looked at Ismail and the others.
After seeing that Ismail and they were all silent, Adriana said to Roy:
"I'm going to study the Shabak Crown first and see what kind of secret the Shabak Crown has."
Adriana gave a modest answer.
While it's uncertain if there's anything to be found out of the Shabak crown, it's the only way Adriana can do it at the moment.
"In that case, the study of the secrets of the Shabak crown will be entrusted to you."
"Do you need me to open a portal to take you back to your apartment?"
Roy continued.
"No thanks!"
Adriana said quickly.
After hearing Adriana's answer, Roy took out a business card from the system space and handed it to Adriana.
"There's my contact details here."
"If you're in trouble, you can always call me."
Roy said to Adriana.
"Okay."
Adriana took the card and nodded.
After handing the business card to Adriana, Roy turned to look at Black Adam.
"Although I woke you up, the purpose of my awakening of you is just to have a discussion with you, and I have no other ideas."
"Wherever you want to go next, it's your freedom."
"Of course, if you still want to fight, I can do it at any time."
Roy said to Black Adam.
"I don't want to fight you right now."
Black Adam said quickly.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, what you want to do next is your freedom, and I won't interfere with you."
"As for whether or not you want to help drive out the International Gang and liberate Kandak, you can consider it yourself."
With that, Roy created the star portal back to the hotel.
Although the mission is only half completed now, he has nothing else to do for the time being.
In addition, he was now curious about how Ismail was going to take the Shabak crown from Adriana.
After the star portal was formed, Roy didn't hesitate and walked straight in.
When Diana followed him back to the hotel, he directly disarmed the star portal.
Black Adam glanced at Adriana and the others, didn't say anything, flew up directly, and left the store.
Hotel.
Living room.
Roy went to the living room couch and sat down, thinking about what to do next.
Although he does not know what method Ismael will use to take the Shabak crown from Adriana.
But one thing is certain, and that is that Ismail will not wait long.
Let's put it this way, if it weren't for him and Black Adam, Ismail would definitely immediately notify his men outside the store to come in and snatch the Shabak crown.
So judging by the current situation, all he has to do is be patient.
When Ismail gets the Shabak crown and transforms into Shabak, he needs to make a move.
Until then, he just needs to stay in Kandak.
Kandak isn't a great place to visit, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to experience its local flavors.
Just as he was thinking about whether to find a local and ask about what was interesting here, Diana, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said:
"Is it really okay to just leave Tess Adam alone?"
"He doesn't look like the kind of person who will follow the rules."
Diana looked at Roy with some concern.
"Don't worry, he won't cause any big trouble."
"It's true that Tess Adam is not the kind of person who will follow the rules, but he is not the kind of person who will mess around."
Roy replied quickly.
Unlike Black Adam in the comics, Black Adam in the movie is not a supervillain, but a maverick antihero.
What's more, for the current Black Adam, as long as others don't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't make trouble for no reason.
"It's better to be like this."
Diana said slowly.
"Don't think too much about it, if he really messes around, I'll stop him."
Roy said calmly.
Although he has no idea of becoming a superhero himself, he is a very responsible person.
Since Black Adam was awakened by himself, he will take responsibility accordingly.
If Black Adam was on his own, he wouldn't mind what Black Adam was going to do next.
But if Black Adam has some undesirable ideas, such as wanting to conquer the world, he will "convince" Black Adam to dispel such unrealistic ideas.
In addition, even if he doesn't make a move, as long as Black Adam makes a big deal out of it, Superman Clark will not stand idly by.
After hearing Roy's answer, Diana nodded and didn't speak again.
Time flies.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
For three days, Roy and Diana experienced Kandak like tourists.
In addition, Roy also went to the Hadidiye mining area controlled by the International Gang, and got some Eternal Stone from the International Gang's warehouse.
In the DC Universe, Eternalstone is not as famous as Dionysian Factor and special metals such as Amber.
But the Eternalstone is still truly transcendent.
Now that he's in Kandak, Roy certainly won't ignore the Eternal Stone.
Even if it was for a collectible, he would take some of the Eternal Stones with him.
While Roy and Diana were experiencing the customs of Kandak, Adriana and the others were not idle, trying to study the secrets of the Shabak crown.
Despite their efforts, they still haven't figured out what the Shabak crown is for.
"Life is the way to death!"
Adriana translated this phrase from Shabak's crown, but she didn't understand what it meant.
Although Ismail knew what this sentence meant, he had no intention of telling Adriana the truth.
In the beginning, Ismail's plan was to swindle the crown from Adriana for a relatively plausible reason.
But now, he's changed his mind.
Although Adriana and the others have not yet recognized his true identity, he has run out of patience.
Every time he saw the Shabak crown made by his family's ancestors being studied by Adriana and them, he would have an indescribable anger.
After some less rigorous thinking, he had a plan!
Kinap Amon and force Adriana to hand over the Shabak crown!
Although doing so would directly reveal his identity, Ismail had no patience to disguise it.
As for whether his identity will attract Roy and Black Adam after his identity is revealed, he is also mentally prepared.
Midday.
Hotel.
Roy and Diana enjoy authentic Kandak cuisine in the restaurant.
Just then, Roy's cell phone rang.
Glancing at the unfamiliar number on the screen, he didn't hesitate and pressed the connect button directly.
After the phone was connected, Adriana's voice came from the other end of the phone before he could speak.
"Ismail is a member of the International Gang!"
"He kidnapped Amon and asked me to hand over the Shabak crown."
"If I don't give him the crown, he'll kill Amon."
Adriana said quickly.
After hearing Adriana's words, Roy said unhurriedly:
"Where is he now?"
"Hadidiye Mine!"
Adriana said immediately.
"When does he want you to hand over the crown?"
Roy continued.
"Just today!"
Adriana replied.
"Okay, I see, you wait for me in the apartment, I'll go over in a minute."
After saying that, before Adriana could answer, Roy hung up.
Then, I told Diana about it briefly.
After hearing that Ismail had kidnapped Amun, Diana frowned slightly.
"What are you going to do?"
Diana asked.
"What else can I do, in the past, the mining area traded with Ismail."
"Anyway, let's get Amon back first."
Roy said calmly.
"Uh-huh, do you need me to come with you?"
Diana continued.
"No need, I'll just go alone, you stay in the apartment to protect Adriana."
Roy said slowly.
"Good!"
Diana didn't say anything, and immediately replied.
A few minutes later.
Roy casts the Star Portal and takes Diana to Adriana's apartment.
At this time, in addition to Adriana, there were her younger brother and Samir in the apartment.
After seeing Roy and Diana coming, Adriana quickly said:
"When are we leaving?"
"There's no hurry for this first, there are still people who haven't arrived."
Roy replied.
Anyone else hasn't arrived?
After hearing his words, Adriana was stunned for a moment.
It took a few seconds for them to react.
Before they could speak, the walls of the apartment were smashed and a black figure flew in from the outside.
This black figure is none other than Black Adam.
For the past three days, Black Adam has been observing what is now Kandak.
Although in the process of observation, he caused some small sensations.
But overall, he's been very low-key these days.
At least until now, no one from the Justice Society has come to trouble him.
After seeing Black Adam coming, Roy said to Black Adam:
"Adriana's son Amon was kidnapped by Ismail and threatened Adriana to hand over the Shabak crown."
"They're in the International Gang's Hadidiye mine right now."
"If you don't have anything else to do, I want you to come with me."
Unlike in the movies, Black Adam doesn't know Amon.
However, after hearing Roy's words, he didn't think about it for too long, and said slowly:
"I can come with you."
"But after this is over, I'm going to fight you again, one-on-one, seriously!"
"No problem, I said it last time, if you still want to fight, I can accompany you at any time."
Roy replied quickly.
He wasn't surprised that Black Adam would have such a request.
Although on the surface, Black Adam didn't particularly care about his loss to Roy.
But Roy knew that Black Adam had always cared.
After answering Black Adam, Roy said to Adriana and the others:
"Give me the crown, Tess Adam and I went to the mines to trade with Ismail, you stay here and wait for news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Adriana shook her head fiercely.
"I'll go with you!"
Adriana said quickly.
"No, you've only been a drag in the past."
Roy replied.
"Amon is my son, I will go and save him myself!"
Although she was rejected, Adriana still did not change her mind and looked at Roy with a serious face.
After seeing the resolute expression on Adriana's face, Roy turned his head to look at Black Adam and said slowly:
"What do you think?"
"Take her!"
Black Adam replied quickly.
"Okay, since you've said so, take her with you."
"Diana, come along."
After hearing his words, Diana nodded quickly.
Seeing Diana's response, Roy mobilized the power of the stars and created a star portal to the Hadidiya mines.
After the star portal was formed, he was the first to walk in.
The International Gang has a number of mines in Kandaq, but the Hadidiye mine is the most important mine among the International Gang members.
The reason is simple, because only the Hadidiye mine can excavate the eternal stone.
As for the other mining areas, all that is mined are some common metals and minerals.
When Diana and Black Adam also came through the Nakshatra Portal, Roy disarmed the Nakshatra Portal.
Glancing at the Hadidiye mine not far away, he said to Adriana:
"Call Ismail and tell him we're in for a deal."
Adriana did not speak, and immediately took out her phone from her backpack and dialed Ismail's number.
Soon, the call was connected.
After confirming Ismael's location, Adriana hung up the phone and told Roy where the deal was located.
After hearing Adriana's words, Roy once again created the Star Portal.
This time, the star portal opened directly into a hall in the Hadidiye mines.
Before the Star Portal was fully formed, Adriana saw Ismail and Amon.
When the star portal was formed, she didn't say a word and immediately ran over.
