Chapter 1513: Cat Getan School of Magic (Part II)

After repeatedly confirming the feasibility of establishing a magic academy, Jim began to think about more realistic problems. He asked, "Then where do you intend to build this school? Or, looking at the current situation, where would it be safer?"

His implication was that if all mages were gathered together, then once they encountered an enemy, the other side would definitely concentrate firepower to attack the weak link. The students in the school were the best targets. First, their resistance ability was weak, and second, once something happened, the impact would be far-reaching, which could effectively strike morale.

Constantine, however, revealed a smile and asked, "Where was the place where the main forces of the Archmage Alliance and the Kindred met their doom this time?"

Jim slowly widened his eyes. He stared at Constantine's face and asked, "You don't mean to say Cat Getan, do you?"

"But, but..." Jim paused, exhaled slightly, thought carefully, and then touched his chin and said, "It seems there really is some truth to it."

Constantine was just about to explain something when Jim stretched out a hand to stop him and said, "But I think the place where it makes sense should be different from yours. Have you heard of the Curse of Ultimate Evil?"

"Zatanna has nagged me about it. You don't believe in this stuff too, do you?"

Jim shook his head and said, "I once communicated with the fairy race of Maia about this matter. These magical creatures look at the world from a different angle than humans. They say that the darkness of Cat Getan does not come from a superficial curse or some magic influence caused by historical legacy problems, but from a deeper level."

"They call Cat Getan's darkness an unshakable vortex. No matter how the world changes, this will be the eternal City of Sin. But its existence is not without benefits. The deepest evil in this world will be sucked into the vortex, which can effectively reduce evil in other places."

"Although human life forms make it difficult for us to see this intuitively, many mysterious powerful existences are clear about Cat Getan's specialness."

Constantine frowned. Jim picked up a glass again and began to wipe it, saying, "That is to say, the higher the status and the closer the life form is to the source, the more they can read this dark power, and the more careful they will be when facing Cat Getan."

"Existences that are not strong enough and whose level is not high enough cannot deal with Cat Getan's dark power, while those that are strong enough will not take the initiative to provoke Cat Getan. Planning the future of the magic world there is indeed a good choice."

"However, there is only one point..." Jim looked at Schiller with some worry and said, "I'm not sure if the locals in Cat Getan will welcome a group of mages, and we must also consider that the school address on the admission letter is Cat Getan, which is a bit too creepy."

Jim had already spoken very euphemistically. Schiller could understand his meaning. Although Cat Getan basically didn't participate in kidnapping and trafficking businesses due to its special geographical reasons, it still had a fierce reputation. Basically, it was unlikely that any outside parents would be willing to let their children come to Cat Getan to go to school.

But Schiller revealed a smile, looked at Jim, and said, "This is precisely the purpose of our coming to find you. I heard that there are magical creatures in Maia that specialize in opening spatial rifts?"

Jim raised his eyebrows slightly, revealed a sudden realization expression, and said, "You are talking about the Builders? That is a kind of fairy that lives in the underground of Maia. They are good at opening separate spatial domains. So far, almost all the spatial rifts of Archmages are made by them. Archmages are only responsible for stabilizing them."

"Are you trying to open a spatial rift in Cat Getan? That's a good idea. It can avoid the terrible public security situation in Cat Getan City and also provide a part of defensive power. But to accommodate a school, I'm afraid one or two Builder fairies won't be able to finish it."

Schiller shook his head and said, "I didn't intend to create a spatial rift as big as a school."

"Then you..."

"It's not me, but Bruce." Schiller turned the wine glass in his hand and said, "He wants to build a mirror city of Cat Getan, create an 'Inner World' for Cat Getan, and move most of the dangerous facilities into it to further restore order in Cat Getan."

Jim gasped. His face became serious, but he still asked first, "Then why doesn't he come himself?"

"Actually, he has already completed part of the work. He created a mirror-inverted magic array to replicate the Cat Getan buildings in reality, and is now pulling Zatanna to test it together."

"But limited by the human life form, he can't open a spatial rift like a natural spatial rift, or rather, after trying a few times, he found that the rift was not stable enough, and it was different from what he saw at Master Andrew's last time."

"John told me that you have connections in this regard, so the two of us came over."

Jim was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "The fairies underground don't have very good tempers, and Archmages are used to squandering power wantonly. Over so many years, they have long since fed their appetites."

"If so many fairies are dispatched at once, it's hard to guarantee that they won't ask for an exorbitant price. I can try, but I really am not sure..."

"We will go with you." Schiller looked at Jim and said, "I think I should be able to convince them."

Jim had just opened his mouth to decline when Constantine began to wink at him frantically. Having been a bar owner for so many years, Jim was of course very good at reading the room. He immediately closed his mouth, nodded, and walked out from the counter to lead the way.

Schiller nodded to him with great satisfaction, and several people went together from the back door of the Oblivion Bar to the magic world of Maia.

And in the alley of Cat Getan street, Bruce and Zatanna leaned against the wall on the left and right, staring at a wall at the end of the alley. Zatanna sighed and said, "This won't work. All entrances and exits must have a connected medium, and cannot be one on the left and one on the right, otherwise it will not be stable."

"But I hope the entrances and exits can be evenly distributed in Cat Getan City, so it's convenient to enter and exit the Inner and Outer Worlds."

Zatanna frowned. Her occult knowledge was actually not rich, but thanks to her special talent, magic was more like her instinct, so she could always say amazing things.

Suddenly she said "Ah," then revealed a sudden realization expression, looked at Bruce, and said, "Cat Getan River!"

Zatanna turned around with Bruce and walked out of the alley. She took Bruce toward Cat Getan River and said at the same time, "The medium must be one body, but at the same time it must run through the entire Cat Getan. Then Cat Getan River is the most suitable entrance and exit. As long as magic is cast on a certain section of Cat Getan River to become the entrance and exit of the Inner World, then you can realize what you said about being able to enter the Inner World at the fastest speed in any area of Cat Getan."

The more Zatanna spoke, the clearer her train of thought became. She didn't care about Bruce following behind her, but walked faster and faster, and spoke faster and faster.

"Perhaps it can also derive an entrance that is not fixed in a certain place. Water is a very magical thing. It not only provides the nutrients necessary for humans to make a living, but is also the swaddling clothes of humans before they are born. It possesses the attributes of the source of life and the guiding object. If magic is applied to the water of Cat Getan River, then perhaps it can become a key."

"The Cat Getan River water that has been cast with magic can become a moving entrance. As long as you drink the river water, you can enter the Inner World."

At this time, the two had already walked to the side of Cat Getan River. Zatanna leaned on the railing, staring at the river water in the river, and said while thinking, "Cat Getan's darkness naturally also penetrated into the water veins here, and is of the same origin as the darkness of Cat Getan City and Cat Getan people."

"Cat Getan people have long been accustomed to having this undetectable dark factor in their drinking water, so they won't have side effects when they drink the river water. That is to say, if Cat Getan River water is the key, then only Cat Getan people can use it. Other people drinking this kind of water is completely looking for their own death. This achieves key encryption."

"If different magic raw materials are deployed, perhaps different Cat Getan River water can be made to point to different locations in the Inner World. This way, there is no need to build a unified transmission station and then run hard to the destination."

"What about students from out of town?" Bruce asked.

"They have to study here for a long time, and sooner or later they will be infected by darkness." Zatanna shook her head and said, "One year is enough."

Zatanna added some practical plans intermittently. Finally, she looked at Bruce and asked, "I still don't quite understand. Even if we want to build a magic school, it's not necessary to go to such great lengths to build an Inner World for a super-large city, right?"

Bruce pursed his lips, revealing a hesitant look. Zatanna just wanted to change the subject, but Bruce said, "There are too many problems in the transformation process of Cat Getan. These problems cannot be solved by theoretical calculations on paper."

"At least half of the cost of Cat Getan's transformation project is used for trial and error. Wei En Group can no longer afford such terrifying expenses." Bruce sighed, but still confessed everything: "The seventh phase of the project currently underway has gone wrong and conflicted with the previous design plan, but it was already too late when it was discovered."

"Soil exploration results indicated that more than ten residential buildings were built in places unsuitable for building residential areas. Because the construction period was very tight, the quality of the foundation was not well tested. It wasn't until completion that it was discovered that the acceptance did not pass. Now they must all be torn down and rebuilt."

"What is more terrifying than the investment going down the drain is that the residents who had already packed their things and were ready to move into their new homes cannot understand why everyone else can move in on time but they can't, and the areas that haven't been transformed yet have also started to have rumors and criticism."

"So, you need an experimental field to preview Cat Getan's transformation project in advance?"

"Not only that." Bruce revealed a helpless expression and said, "You don't know how destructive those little bastards living in Wei En Manor are! Have you heard of the shell gang?"

"Shell... what?" Zatanna asked in surprise.

"They forged a gang family called Neway, which is Wei En spelled backward, and by creating various incidents in Cat Getan, using various mysterious identities to stir up the situation, they broke the power structure of the Twelve Families ruling Cat Getan for a long time—they want to turn the Wei En family into the Thirteenth Family."

Zatanna was dumbfounded, and Bruce continued, "The fake cultural activity they created at least swindled real funds, which can let Barbara turn the situation around. But letting them continue to dominate Cat Getan like this, I really don't know how to explain to Falcone that it's not that I want to be the Godfather."

Zatanna hesitated and said, "Half of them are from other universes, right? Why don't you find a way to send them back?"

"The problem now is that their emotional development speed is too rapid. I can't separate them. If I let the Flash take them all away, then the Cat Getan of the other universe, which has long passed the gang era, will welcome the largest gang family."

Bruce leaned on the railing of Cat Getan River and said, "Now I can only let Alfred watch them to ensure they don't leave Wei En Manor. Once I build the mirror city, they can fully display their talents there."

"Like father, like son." Zatanna commented, but then she said with some uncertainty, "However, precisely because of this, are you sure you can keep them locked up?"

Bruce immediately raised his hand to check his watch and said to Zatanna, "You have a point. Send me back to the manor. I have to make sure they are honestly staying in their rooms doing their homework."

But when Zatanna and Bruce walked out of the portal, what they faced was an empty hall. All the Robins who should have been there had disappeared. ===== CHAPTER 1514 =====
