Chapter 1478: Birds and Return (Twenty-Three)

The original Schiller was a magician, and even the head of the Soviet KGB's department that liaised with the magic world. However, Schiller did not find any fragments related to magic in his memory, otherwise he would have guessed something at the beginning.

Schiller did not inherit any of the original Schiller's connections in the magic world, and did not know which magicians he knew. However, with a little deduction, it can be concluded that the original Schiller should have adhered to the same set of social principles in the society of ordinary people and the magic world - rich in reputation, but not many friends.

It can also be seen from the fact that Constantine did not know Schiller that they may have heard of some of the reputation of the original Schiller, but in fact they had never seen him, nor did they know his specific whereabouts.

Until Schiller returned, he used his familiarity with the knowledge in the comics to find the entrance to the Forgotten Bar, met the Master of Dark Night, and heard him complain that there were always some black magicians making trouble here, but he could not afford a bodyguard, so he thought of bringing him the cabbage that Pamela made to beat people as a gift.

For a long time, Schiller did not accept any invitations or invitation emails, but after resuming social activities, some of the connections of the original Schiller also surfaced.

For example, Master Andrew, who invited him to the birthday party this time, is a famous wizard in the magic world. He has an independent wizard tower and countless students.

Schiller, whose reputation has almost reached the maximum level in the society of ordinary people, has a new goal. He wants to regain his foothold in the magic world after a few years of blank period. In addition to inheriting the connections from the original Schiller, he also needs to expand his social circle and contribute to the construction of the magic world.

Schiller actually didn't plan to bring Bruce here, because it is well known that Batman can't do magic. If he can do magic, it will definitely cause all kinds of dangerous major events, so Schiller is not sure whether it is a good thing to let him enter the magic world.

However, thinking that the Batman of this world has changed so much, maybe a certain rule is not completely unbreakable, so Schiller brought Bruce here.

But Schiller's welcome speech made Bruce stunned.

Logically speaking, whether it is a child or an adult, when they find that the magnificent magic world has opened the door to them, they should feel extremely surprised and excited.

But what Bruce thought was:

What could be more terrible than his mentor being a famous master of psychology among ordinary people?

That is, after finally graduating with excellence after four years of mutual torture with him, he found that he was also a famous magic master among extraordinary people.

I have to start all over again? ? !

Bruce knew that Schiller had some special abilities, and he also knew that he might meet some magicians like Constantine, but he didn't expect Schiller to be famous in the magic world - judging from some actions and expressions of the dark night master Jim.

Therefore, Bruce didn't feel happy or excited at all, and even the slight thought of resurrection when he first learned about the existence of magic disappeared, and he was a little tired of studying on the spot.

So, he nodded perfunctorily, but Dark Night Master Jim stared at his face for a while, then said in surprise: "Are you Bruce Wayne?"

Bruce nodded again, Jim leaned back and gave Schiller a thumbs up.

"I plan to take Bruce to buy something, can you open the door for us?" Schiller said, looking at the paintings behind Jim.

"Of course, no problem, Doctor. Where are you going? The Grand Bazaar in London or the Mirror Tower of Maya, or a private exhibition hall of a collector?"

"It's like this. I'm going to Master Andrew's birthday party. I know him well, so a bottle of Bordeaux red wine is a good gift, but Bruce is visiting for the first time, so he may need a formal outfit and a more solemn gift."

"Then it seems that you plan to go to both places."

"That's right."

The Dark Night Master nodded, and he gently stroked the long sword on his waist with his hand. The paintings hanging on the wall floated up silently. One of the oval frames depicted a lively medieval market scene. Jim reached out and tapped the back of the frame, and a portal opened in front of the two.

Schiller took the lead and walked in with his cane, and Bruce followed behind him. As soon as he stepped in, he saw the market scene like the one in the painting. All kinds of magicians came and went here, and the whole street was very lively.

The weather in this mysterious space is similar to that in London. The gray sky is very low, the humid air makes people feel sticky, and the surface of the cobblestone road is covered with water vapor left by the morning fog.

Among the various people walking on the street, there are traditional wizards wearing robes and hoods, voodoo masters wearing metal jewelry and tattoos all over their bodies, gypsy girls wearing bright clothes, and even many jumping animals.

"Can you tell me about the magic world?" Bruce looked around the situation here and found a topic.

"I think you should want to know more about magic itself." Schiller also turned his head left and right to find the target store. He thought for a while, and then said: "The classification of magic in this world is not complicated. From the source of power, it can be divided into black magic and white magic; from the form of use, it can be divided into positive magic and negative magic; from the nature of magic, it can be divided into order magic and chaos magic."

"And there are more than just magicians in the magic world. Magicians usually refer to people who use some form of magic to change the world. But there are also gods in this world. Some people gain power because of the curse or care of the gods. You can Understood as the one given by God.”

"God-givers gain power passively, but there are also some people who actively pray to gods and become agents of gods and demons, but agents have little room for free action. They must fulfill the will of the contracted gods or demons."

"There are also some people who have the blood of gods or demons, and are generally called half-gods or half-demon. In the magic world, there are relatively few people with powerful half-gods or half-demon bloodlines. Most of them are just a little bit involved, and they are not necessarily stronger than magicians. "

"So how are magicians classified?" Bruce asked.

"There is no specific job title." Schiller shook his head and said: "Roughly, there are only strong and weak. Many people think that the essence of magic is exchange, and a price must be paid, but that is not always the case."

"In general, the power of magic comes from external objects, not from one's own practice. Magicians guide magic power into their own world, and they can let the power come to themselves, or they can be attached to other things, because the nature of the source of power is different. , the way of paying the price is also different.”

"Most demons do not require the contracted mages to pay the price immediately. Magicians can use magic smoothly and freely throughout their lives. However, after death, their souls will belong to the contracted demons and can be disposed of as they wish."

"There are also some beings who need to make no credit, which often brings great pain to the magicians while they are alive. Some benevolent gods do not charge a lot of money, but they will not give their agents freedom."

"So which category do you fall into?"

"Me?" Schiller's hand holding the cane paused slightly. Bruce observed his small movement, so he asked further: "What type of source of power does your contract belong to?"

Bruce was really curious. It was hard for him to imagine Schiller praying to the gods for strength. He saw Schiller stopped in front of a clothing store, paused, and walked in while talking.

"Although I hate to be associated with this name, I have to say - I belong to the category of Constantine."

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, because he thought of what Constantine once said to him - the essence of magic is debt? The essence of magic is not paying your debts!

It has to be said that if Schiller hadn't interrupted Constantine's debt cycle, his model was almost successful, but even so, he still made trouble for himself.

Then why has Schiller never encountered any backlash in the years since I've known him? Bruce started thinking about this.

At this time, he had followed Schiller into the clothing store. It was an old-fashioned clothing store. The cabinets, tables, counters, and boxes in the corners were all filled with all kinds of fabrics, and the necks of mannequins. There is a soft ruler wrapped around the clothes, and the sample clothes are hung on the high wall.

Schiller knocked on the counter with his cane, and a burly bearded man came out of the door. He said hello in English full of French flavor, and then looked at the two guests with a hawk-like gaze.

"Hello, I need a set of clothes to attend the Archmage's banquet."

Schiller stepped aside and let the bearded tailor walk in front of Bruce. The bearded tailor looked at Bruce's figure carefully, nodded and said: "His figure is not out of the ordinary, and there is no difficulty in making clothes. Are there any special requirements for attributes?”

"There is no need for charm bonus or mental influence function." Schiller obviously had some knowledge in this area, and then he added: "Try to be as original as possible and retain your own temperament, but use more expensive fabrics. If It’s better to have rare threads.”

The bearded tailor raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Schiller again. He seemed to reminisce, and then said: "Are you the Dr. Rodriguez who recently returned to the magic world? I came from Zarf's I heard your message."

"Yes, I am. This is my student Bruce. He just graduated recently. I plan to have him appear at Master Andrew's birthday party. You should know what kind of clothes I want, right?"

The bearded tailor squeezed out a smile from his serious expression. He waved and said: "The young man made his first appearance at the Archmage's banquet - it is best not to be too ostentatious, but to leave a deep impression on others." My impression is that he is in good appearance and does not need the magic of charm..."

As he spoke, cloth with shimmering magical luster flew in from outside the door, and instantly wrapped around Bruce's body. Bruce didn't feel anything, and a dark silver suit was put on his body.

"I think the suit is not bad, but if you want to be more classic, the wizard's robe is also available. You can go to Old Bron at the end of the street and buy a blue orb, which just matches his blue eyes."

Schiller took a few steps back, looked at Bruce's current image, and seemed to feel a little dissatisfied.

To be honest, the stereotype impression left by Bruce Wayne is too deep. In addition, he is very young now. If he does not wear a dark, old-fashioned suit with a more traditional tailoring, but wears a light-colored A slightly shiny fabric will always give people the impression of a frivolous and dissolute young man, which is not a good image to present at a banquet.

So Schiller nodded to the bearded tailor and said, "Try changing into a robe."

The bearded tailor seemed to be very satisfied with Schiller's choice. He immediately snapped his fingers, and the shape of the cloth on Bruce's body changed, and a traditional dark silver wizard robe appeared on him.

The upper body is a traditional European open-collared shirt and hand wraps, and the lower body is a robe with an outer skirt. The texture of the fabric is quite good, and it looks restrained and luxurious. Even if he doesn't hold a staff in his hand, he can be seen at a glance that he is a young wizard who has learned a lot.

This is the effect Schiller wanted, so he took out a bottle of energy fragments, paid the money, and took Bruce out of the clothing store.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a magic ball."

"But I don't even know magic."

"You do." Schiller turned his head and looked at him and said, "What do you do when you have no money?"

"Borrow money."

"Will you pay it back?"

"No."

"Then you will know magic, that's how I know it."
