Chapter 1648

"Let me see, holy power, chanting my eternal Lord and Father, wait, why are these two runes..." Constantine frowned at the runes in the basement.

The magic circle he drew presented an inverted triangle, with a rune that can be used to inject holy magic power at each of the three corners. At this time, two runes lit up, but one rune just wouldn't light up.

Constantine had to walk to the side of that rune to erase the mark he drew, and started to take the unicorn and elf blood from the Maya of the magic world, as well as the wool of newborn lambs and deer antler and deer blood commonly used for Christian offerings to redraw the pattern.

Tim and Jason crossed their arms and watched him draw from left and right. After a while, Jason clicked his tongue and said: "Why do I think the image of the Holy Spirit you drew has a problem? Are you sure the two ends of the cross are hung with cow ears and cow skin respectively? And this, this looks like it's not a pattern of Christian culture, how does it look like a pattern left by Carthaginian culture?"

Constantine looked up and measured Jason from head to toe. At this time, Jason was wearing a red jacket with a baseball team pattern, a pair of dark wide-leg jeans, and a pair of water boots. This image looked far away from the magic prodigy, and also very different from the professional terms he spat out.

"Even I can see that the symbol connecting these two runes is wrong." Tim sighed, pointed to the connecting symbol Constantine was drawing, and said: "Is the direction of this backflow force reversed? And I always feel that even if it can run, it can't provide energy to the rune next to it with the highest efficiency."

"Wait a minute, did the Batman of your universe teach you magic?"

Constantine was surprised, even shocked. He looked at the two children with his mouth wide open and said: "Batman guards me like a thief. He would actually let me teach you magic?"

"Who said our magic was taught by you?"

"But besides me, who else can master this kind of runology knowledge?" Constantine looked down at the pattern he drew again and said: "Even Zatanna, who was born in a magic family, only knows some general runes. She hasn't even seen some gray runes left in religion and history. Now only I am studying this in the entire magic world."

"Our magic was learned from Bruce Wei En." Jason shrugged and said directly: "I think his magic level is much stronger than yours, and your runology levels should be about the same."

Constantine's chin almost fell off. He maintained an incomparably shocked expression, looked at Jason and said: "The Bruce Wei En of your universe is a mage?! Are you sure?"

"What's the matter with this? With Batman's intelligence, wanting to study magic is not easy." Tim, the world's number one Batman fan, said with some disdain: "And are you sure the reason Batman guards against you is not because he doesn't want you to teach the Robins magic, but because of those rotten love histories of yours?"

"Stop kidding, I'm not interested in children."

"The Robins of this universe are not children anymore." Jason rolled his eyes and said: "Although I sometimes feel that Batman's worry about his Robins is a bit too much, guarding against you is undoubtedly the most correct thing he has done."

Constantine sighed and said: "When I met Batman, the Robins were still children. I can be considered to have watched them grow up. But Cat Getan children are really not suitable for learning magic, because of some reasons that are hard for me to describe."

"What is that?" Tim asked with some curiosity.

Constantine sighed even deeper. While lowering his head to draw the magic circle, he said: "Your universe has an earlier era, and the magic world may not have developed like this. Do you know? There was a vigorous reform in the magic world about ten years ago. Guess what it was mainly because of."

"Because of what?"

"Because the black mages from Cat Getan believed that demons and angels had exploited the magic world for too long, and the unfair treaty had been maintained for too long. So they tried their best to set up a huge summoning magic circle within the scope of Cat Getan, summoned all the angels and demons who exploited humans, and then used the home advantage of Cat Getan, this mud pit, to beat all the angels and demons."

"Since then, the black mages from Cat Getan have been completely blacklisted by heaven and hell. Cat Getan is also like this. I come here not only to take the power of the Court of Owls, but if I really can't pay back the debt for a while, I can also use Cat Getan's unique geographical advantage to make my creditors spend more effort when they come to find me, or simply give up."

Tim and Jason looked at each other very tacitly, and then understood that in this universe, which is equivalent to their future, the phenomenon of the magic world being poor and weak was resolved in a slightly ridiculous way.

It should be that a group of black mages appeared among their peers, that is, people born around 1980 in Cat Getan. When this group of people grew up, they fully inherited the style of Cat Getan people who don't accept it and just dry it, and firmly refused to accept those harsh exploitation clauses. Instead, they united and used the geographical advantage of the home court to beat all the powerful creatures they could summon.

But this is actually not impossible to explain. Cat Getan is a super big city with a population of tens of millions. It is normal to have a few mages. And the conditions of Cat Getan's time, place, and people can be said that all black mages from Cat Getan are wronged when they are assigned to Azkaban, and they call it too extreme when they follow the Dark Lord.

The magic genius bred by the purest darkness and sin in the entire universe has almost the second position in the magic world after Batman's position in the superhero world. The so-called mop stained with shit Lu Bu is in the world. Those angels and demons were summoned, which destined the end of shit to the head and no shit.

"Since Cat Getan can let you avoid those creditors, why don't you always... oh, my God, what stupid words am I saying!" Jason slapped his forehead and said: "The Batman of your universe is too sick. You might as well go face those creditors."

Hearing this, Constantine sighed slightly resentfully and said: "You can count it as a reason, but the key is, if angels and demons don't come here, where should my power come from? Then wouldn't I be unable to use magic?"

"Wait, you said angels and demons don't come here, then why do you still build a magic circle to summon angels?"

"There are always a few stupid angels and demons." Constantine said while lowering his head to modify the magic circle: "This is like fishing. Some fish are particularly difficult to catch. That's because they may have been hooked by the angler several times and put back into the sea. Although fish are not very smart, they can still grow this memory."

"But if it's a fish that has just grown up and has never been caught by anyone, it's particularly easy to be hooked. Even if it sees that the destination is a dung pit, it may bite the hook because of curiosity. This is the main reason why I can always borrow power—there are no forever stupid angels and demons, but there are always newborn angels and demons who are making mistakes."

Jason and Tim nodded clearly. Constantine stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Alright, I have readjusted the runes here and the symbols that transmit power you said. Next, let's see if there are any stupid fish hooked."

After Constantine finished speaking, he stepped back two steps, and Jason and Tim also stepped back to the wall. Only then did the inverted triangle magic circle flash a rich white light, and the runes operated instantly.

Seeing that the corner that didn't light up before lit up, Constantine showed a proud look, but soon, the two corners that were originally lit up went out one, and the light of the whole magic circle flickered a few times and disappeared completely.

"Hiss..."

Constantine took a breath because of anger. He walked quickly to the magic circle, put his hands on his hips, looked around left and right, and muttered: "It shouldn't be, even if the holy runes have changed the method of use, I have already changed the operation mode of the magic circle according to the latest version of the power flow. It shouldn't be a dialing failure..."

"Let me see... God, why has the definition of this rune changed again? How long does heaven have to update? Can't people work normally?!"

Constantine's complaining voice was very loud. Not only the basement, but even half the street could hear his angry shouting, but his complaining voice was not loud enough, at least it couldn't be heard in heaven.

Bruce was standing in a room full of glowing discs. He shook his wings, pulled over one of the discs, and began to constantly compile the content of the runes on it.

An angel with emerald wings like a peacock poked his head at the door of the room. Bruce looked up at the angel and said: "Raphael, why are you here?"

Raphael showed a smile, raised his hand, and only saw a big fish hooked on the fishhook under the fishing line in his hand.

Bruce immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "You went fishing in the Garden of Eden again? And caught such a big fish."

"Remiel called me to go fishing yesterday but I didn't go. He nagged me all night. I accompanied him to go today. I caught a fish but he didn't. He was so angry that he jumped his feet. It seems that it won't be peaceful tonight, so I came to you to hide from the wind, and you are studying those runes again."

Bruce nodded, looked down at the rune disc and said: "These objects are a bit too old. Many runes recorded on them are not used even by angels. I am eliminating those that are too complex, and then trying to compile a bottom-level program for them."

"You really worked hard." Raphael walked into the room, looked at the thousands of dazzling rune discs and said: "Some things should be changed... My God! Could this symbol be used by Lucifer when he was a child? What era is this?!"

"You guessed it right. This is indeed a pattern Lucifer drew on the mud ground when he was a child. It was compiled into runes by God, representing 'Morning Star' and 'First Light' in rune language. There are about 18,000 similar runes, all of which are Lucifer's creative masterpieces when he was a child."

Bruce pulled over a rune disc and showed it to Raphael. Raphael only saw two bars like earthworms on it. Bruce explained: "For example, this rune representing the ocean and tides is actually a painting Lucifer drew on the beach with a tree branch."

"If other lives want to use this rune, they must first connect to the ocean of the Garden of Eden with a whole summoning magic circle, then use the essence magic circle to extract the seawater of the Garden of Eden, then contact the angel to break off a branch of a tree in the Garden of Eden for them, then put the seawater and sand into a special magic circle to reproduce the scene of that year, and finally use the branch to outline a pattern exactly the same as this, even the curvature and the thickness of the end cannot be wrong, and then this rune can take effect."

"Hurry up and ban it!" Raphael covered his forehead and said: "I feel dizzy just listening to it. Judging from humans' ability, efficiency, and life length, they start preparing for this ceremony in their youth, and I guess they may not be able to complete it until they die."

"The fact is exactly this. According to the information here, this rune has never been used by any creature except angels, but apart from this, the part representing the ocean and tides is completely cut off. That is to say, if believers need these two elements to complete their magic circle, they can only use this."

Raphael looked up at the endless discs in the room like a starry sky. He shook his head and said: "Thank God you are here. If Lucifer really organized us to delete and change these things, I would definitely go crazy."

"Lucifer probably won't let you move these things. Although there are many beautiful memories of him and God here, more of them are..."

Bruce dragged a long tone, gestured in front of him, as if it was very difficult to describe. After a long while, he said: "An old father who has lost his son for many years has excessive praise for his child's slightly childish childhood, and the urgent mood of wanting to spread these genius works of his children to the whole world for everyone to look up to."

Raphael's eyes turned, looking at these discs, he suddenly became interested. He smiled and said: "You mean, there are many dark histories of Lucifer here?"

"I didn't say that. How could our glorious and great Archangel Lucifer have a childish childhood of walking chickens and fighting dogs in the Garden of Eden and striving to be a heaven bully?"
