Chapter 1482: Birds and Return (Twenty-Seven)
The smoke of incense slowly floated up, making the light of the candles on the wall become more hazy, there were tiny footprints on the thick cashmere carpet, and the noise of the climax of the feast came from outside the door.
There were many cushions made of satin fabric piled up behind the screen. All the exquisite metal wine glasses originally placed on the table were moved to the shelves behind. There was the sound of rustling writing in front of the table, and occasionally there was an undetectable sigh.
Crisp footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the "squeak" of the heavy wooden door being pushed open. A woman's hand with dark nails was placed on the edge of the screen.
With a "crash", the screen was pushed open, and a surprised female voice sounded. A beautiful lady with black hair and green eyes wearing a gorgeous red dress looked blankly at Bruce's azure hair who was raising his head from the table. Eye.
"Sorry, ma'am, what can I do for you?"
"God, aren't you Dr. Schiller's student? Why are you here? Didn't you go drinking with your teacher?" The lady lightly covered her mouth with her fingers, looking very surprised.
"It was a little noisy there. I just came up with an idea and was about to test it now, so I found a place where no one was around. Did it bother you, madam?" Bruce kept looking up at the lady as he spoke. His eyes are very focused, so even if he looks from below, he doesn't look flattering.
"Oh, no, I want to say sorry. It seems that I disturbed your research... You can call me Mrs. Xanadu." The lady smiled slightly and said, "They all call me that because I once lived in In Xanadu of the Yuan Dynasty.”
"Hello, madam, I have nothing to do here. You don't have to worry. You can go back and enjoy your banquet." Bruce lowered his head and sorted out the pile of draft paper in his hand, looked at the picture he had drawn, and wrinkled it again. He raised his eyebrows.
But Mrs. Xanadu had no intention of leaving. She walked into the screen, knelt down opposite Bruce, looked at Bruce's face carefully, and said, "Haven't you heard of me?"
Bruce raised his eyes to look at her again, and then he found that whenever his eyes met the eyes of Mrs.
"It's nothing, it's just...it's just that your eyes look a bit like an old friend of mine." Mrs. Xanadu said with a small smile.
"My teacher once told me about you, but he said it was not polite to comment on a woman behind her back, so I don't know much about you."
"Dr. Schiller is always like this." Mrs. Xanadu shook her head and said helplessly: "Always keep a very polite distance from everyone. When my sister Vivian asked me about him last time, I can’t even come up with three sentences.”
Bruce adjusted his sitting posture, from a relaxed sitting posture with his legs spread to a standard sitting posture. Mrs. Xanadu raised her eyebrows, showed a somewhat surprised expression, and said, "You are Bruce Wayne, right?" ? You are a little different from what is written in the newspaper."
"I don't have time to care about those things." Bruce looked at the manuscript paper again.
He guessed that there must be many young wizards in the magic world who were addicted to magic and behaved a bit abnormally in ordinary society. He planned to create this image for himself, so he shrugged rather frivolously and said: "I I don’t have the time to chase tabloid reporters around the world asking them to understand me.”
Mrs. Xanadu laughed and said jokingly: "Then what's going on with you and those beautiful models?"
"Personal hobbies." Bruce curled his lips and said bluntly: "I do have many female companions. I love their beauty, they love my wealth, and we each get what we need. Who knows who is typing these reports? Didn't you feel any jealousy?"
Mrs. Xanadu laughed even harder, and it could even be said that she was leaning forward and backward. She covered her mouth with one hand, with a kind of oriental implicit beauty. Then she looked into Bruce's eyes and said: "Boys are always like this. I don’t know the charm of youthfulness and straightforwardness, it’s like a murderous knife.”
Bruce lowered his eyes without moving and turned his gaze back to the draft paper. His repeated actions finally attracted Madam Xanadu to focus on the magic circle he drew on the paper.
Madam Xanadu originally thought he was copying, so she didn't look at it carefully, but just glanced at it. But when her eyes passed by the draft paper, she paused.
"What are you drawing?" Madam Xanadu narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at the slightly unfamiliar magic circle pattern on the draft paper and said, "Creating a new magic circle? Is this the work of your teacher? "
Bruce shook his head and said as if he was a little frustrated: "No, this is the homework he left for me, ma'am, I'm not sure you want to listen to those boring academic materials..."
"Tell me about it." Mrs. Xanadu rested her chin on her finger, nodded very reservedly and said, "Maybe I can give you some help... Oh, if you don't know who I am, you always know King Arthur. Who is she? The fairy Vivian who gave King Arthur the sword in the lake is my biological sister. "
Bruce's penis shrank a bit, and Mrs. Xanadu looked at his shocked expression with satisfaction.
"Then, you must help me." Bruce immediately leaned forward, then turned the scrap paper upside down and placed it in front of Mrs. Xanadu, and said very sincerely: "I will hand in my homework tomorrow morning. If I can't finish it, I It’s dead.”
Mrs. Xanadu burst out laughing, shook her head and said, "You are really brave to dare to be Dr. Schiller's student. Everyone in the circle knows that he has a bad temper."
"It's not just bad." Bruce muttered deliberately, and then looked at Madam Xanadu with a pleading look.
Madam Xanadu then turned her attention to Bruce's draft paper. For the first thirty seconds, her expression was very relaxed. After a while, she frowned slightly. After about two minutes, her brows became more and more frowned. tight.
"Bruce, can I call you this? Are you studying the multi-line parallel rune secret language of the Upta School?"
"Oh my god, madam, you are the first person to see my topic. So, have you done any research on this?" Bruce immediately showed an eagerness as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
Madam Xanadu shook her head slightly, but nodded again. She sighed softly and said: "I have met the descendants of Master Upta, but he is no longer studying such obscure knowledge. Boy, I One more question, why are you studying this?”
"It's not what I want to study." Bruce pursed his lips and said, "This is the topic chosen by Professor Schiller. I can only complete it."
"Well, it seems that he is deliberately making things difficult for you. Even in the magic world a hundred years ago, there were not many people studying this topic. You have to know that running multiple lines in parallel means that you have to be proficient in multiple secret languages at the same time. As long as one part of the chain goes wrong, there will definitely be problems later.”
"That's right, ma'am. In your opinion, can my magic circle run smoothly?"
Mrs. Xanadu stared at the magic circle, tilted her head and said: "The first rune of the magic circle you drew is a double line in parallel. After connecting the functional runes, connect these two runes to two more. The double lines turned into four, and you repeated this process more than a dozen times. The entire magic circle has become so complicated that I will not be able to understand it for a while. "
Mrs. Xanadu drew the lines on the paper with her fingers and said: "It is not a good thing that the magic circle is too complicated. Every link has the possibility of making mistakes. If there are too many links, the probability of making mistakes will greatly increase. This is also a mistake. Reasons for the decline of the Ptah School.”
Bruce sighed and said, "I don't have the ability to verify whether this magic circle can operate, so I don't know what kind of evaluation Professor Schiller will give tomorrow morning. It would be nice if I could test it in advance."
"Who are you contracting with?"
"Belief."
Mrs. Xanadu showed a helpless smile. She looked into Bruce's eyes and said, "Didn't your teacher suggest you change your contract partner? Belial has been out of contact for a long time."
"But that may cost more, so I have to get a good result first." Bruce pushed the draft paper forward again, stared at Madam Xanadu with his blue eyes and said, "Madam, can you Could you please help me verify the feasibility of this array?"
"It's okay." Mrs. Xanadu nodded and said, "I owe Dr. Schiller a favor, and so does Master Andrew. But I have to ask first, what is your magic circle used for?"
"It's just a simple demon summoning circle." Bruce nodded and said, "And it may not be fully operational."
"Okay, then do you want to test it with a miniature magic circle, or directly draw a large magic circle in full scale?"
Bruce held his chin with his hand and thought for a while, and finally said: "Although the effect of the large magic circle is better, it would be a waste of your strength. Just draw a small one."
Madam Xanadu showed a smile and said: "You are looking down on the fairy clan of Maia. We are different from humans. Energy comes from natural sources. Moreover, the magic circle written by a magic apprentice to summon demons is not enough." Affects my mana reserves."
"Thank you so much, ma'am." Bruce stood up, as if he couldn't wait to do the experiment.
Madam Xanadu shook her head, as if she was lamenting that the young man could not bear his temper, but she still took Bruce downstairs. At this time, the white-haired Master Andrew was still drinking, and Schiller was sitting next to him. She was chatting with him about something.
"Dr. Schiller, your apprentice belongs to me." Mrs. Xanadu smiled and waved her hand to Schiller and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat him."
Schiller raised an eyebrow, but still waved his hand to let them leave. Master Andrew, who had messy white hair and a mustache, shouted over there: "Hey, young man, don't listen to her, the fairy in the lake will eat it." people!"
Mrs. Xanadu snorted coldly, then waved to Bruce and said, "Follow me, let's go to the back garden to conduct experiments. There are a lot of good things in Andrew's warehouse. The ring you brought fits him very well." I mean, he won’t be stingy with you.”
After saying that, she took Bruce into the back garden of Andrew's Mage Tower, and then took Bruce to dig out a lot of materials for setting up magic circles in Andrew's warehouse.
"I'll do it, madam." Bruce took the material from Madam Xanadu's hand, and then began to outline a huge magic circle on the ground of the garden with an extremely smooth movement.
Bruce's hand was very steady, but he would stop and think between the sketches. Mrs. Complete.
After the magic circle was drawn, Madam Shangdu flew up and looked down at Bruce and her labors. It was an extremely complex and huge magic circle, containing many difficult and obscure ancient runes. Madam Shangdu could only understand a small part of them.
After landing, she sighed: "It is true that a good teacher produces a good student. I have never seen any young wizard with the same knowledge as you, or in other words, your ritual level is one of the best in the entire magic world."
"You are flattering, Madam, let's get started."
Madam Shangdu nodded, then raised her hand, and the power of the emerald green forest was poured into the magic circle.
In hell, Beelzebub's palace was also a lively banquet scene.
The gifts presented by countless demon generals piled up into a mountain, and the water from the blood fountain fell on the road paved with bones. All kinds of demons sang and danced, happy and enthusiastic.
But Lord Beelzebub on the throne stared at the small figures in front of him with a very dissatisfied look. He snorted and said, "Batman received my invitation, but he didn't come himself. Instead, he sent you human cubs here. He simply doesn't take the monarch of hell seriously!"
In front of him stood the three Robins. Nightwing, Red Hood and Red Robin all swallowed their saliva.
The impact of facing the demon king directly is not ordinary. When dozens of eyes on Beelzebub's huge demon phantom are looking at them at the same time, the pressure is even greater.
"Batman can't come in person, but we can congratulate you on his behalf..." Nightwing stepped forward.
"What can be more important than my celebration?!"
When Beelzebub's rumbling voice resounded in the palace, the Robins found that the surrounding demons looked at them with some unfriendly eyes.
Just as the demon generals gradually gathered around, Beelzebub on the throne suddenly froze for a moment and muttered: "...Who?"
"Who is calling me? I don't have an agent?" Beelzebub said in a very puzzled tone, and then he said impatiently: "I have something to do, wait!"
Suddenly, Beelzebub's expression froze, and a black vortex suddenly appeared on the right side of his body. One corner of the huge figure covered with thick black mist seemed to be grabbed by something and began to tilt to one side.
Under the gaze of Robin and countless demon generals, Beelzebub was dragged away in a "whoosh", and then the entire palace of the demon king began to shake.
In Andrew's magic tower, Madam Shangdu was emitting green light all over her body. She pressed her hands on the magic circle and turned to ask for help to Master Andrew who rushed over: "Andrew! Save me! My strength is not enough, but I can't let go. If I continue like this, I will be drained!
!"
Andrew hurriedly took two steps forward and raised his staff. A strong light shot out from the top of the staff. In an instant, rich energy was poured into the magic circle. He wanted to destroy the runes and make the magic circle invalid, but the next second he was stuck there and couldn't move at all, falling into the same situation as Madam Shangdu.
With the injection of more and more energy, countless runes in parallel began to exert their power, 2 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 16, more than a dozen times of exponential growth and countless amplified runes in series, making the effect of this magic circle reach a terrifying level.
A huge vortex appeared at the top of the magic tower, and rich demonic power surged out, and the whole sky was dyed black.
Just when the output value of the magic circle reached the maximum value, with a "bang", a huge demon with more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell down, followed by the demon generals who were like dumplings.
The last few Robins who fell down stood up staggeringly, holding their heads, looking at a familiar figure, and walked towards the biggest demon.
And Beelzebub, who fell down, just opened his dozens of eyes and stared at Batman.
Then, he heard Batman say:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Beelzebub, I really don't have time to attend your daughter's wedding, so I can only ask you to come here."
"Also, on this happy day, are you interested in choosing a pope in the world to share your worries?"
