Chapter 353: hanged man
Eric felt a little heavy after hearing Zatanna's story.
He didn't know how to comfort Zanzatanna, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.
Magic, whether in the world of DC or Marvel, is a heavy thing.
It's not like the magic of the Harry Potter world, waving a wand and saying "Remove your weapon", or chanting a spell and flying into the sky... There is no cost to the use of magic.
But magic in the DC and Marvel worlds is a lot crueler, and it follows a law that the more powerful something is, the more expensive it will be to use it.
Magic is dangerous and powerful, and every sorcerer who wants to use it must be very aware.
If you learn magic with a fun mind, although you will gain some things, you will lose more things.
I believe Constantine will be deeply touched by this. He resented his father, learned black magic, established a contractual relationship between a dead cat and his father, and then buried the dead cat in the ground. In this way, his father was getting weaker day by day, just like the cat that was gradually rotten. He was finally afraid and regretful. He pulled the cat out and wanted to prevent his father from dying, but he couldn't do anything. His father was getting weaker day by day. Soon fell into a coma.
Magic is like that, there is no backtracking, no compromise, once it happens, it can never be reversed.
This is just an irreversible tragic fate that is always accompanied by magic. More importantly, magic is not created for no reason. They have their own origins and origins, and have their own masters. Anyone who uses magic will be recorded in the ledger by the master of magic.
In the DC world, there was no magic in the beginning. The pioneers of the ancient mankind united, they discovered magic and introduced it into the world.
But because the magic power is too powerful, they make this power into a helmet.
This is the helmet that Eric wore when he first met Diana in the Underground Crystal Kingdom - Doctor Fate's helmet.
So people began to practice magic in secret, and the pioneers also spread the use of magic.
But the master of magic, the hanged man outside the wall of origin - the mysterious existence of all the sources of magic in the legend, he is staring at the earth, ready to harvest the magician's leeks at any time...
Eric rubbed his chin and thought quietly. One of his great help against Omega was Baron Winters and a group of young mystics, but Diana said that magic was dead, and it was very likely that Omega and the Hanged Man had reached a certain relationship. This kind of transaction, or blocked the way for the earth to obtain magic, which led to the depletion of magic.
Even a famous magician like Zatanna can't reverse this situation. Is it impossible to use magic to fight Omega?
Do not!
Eric's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a person. If it was her, even if the magic of the earth was exhausted, she could still use powerful magic.
Because only her magic is unique, and it is not the same as the magic of anyone in the world or even anyone else. Her magic does not come from the "hanged man" from an exotic land, but from another ancient power!
Eric got excited when he thought of this.
"No! The hope of magic is not completely gone. We just need to find someone who has great magical power, although she never realizes it."
"Who?" Zatanna didn't think of any other magician who could turn the tide.
"Wonder Woman!"
Eric said her name excitedly.
"Diana never realized her magical powers, she needed someone to guide her, and Ms. Zatanna, you can help her."
Eric makes an invitation to Zatanna.
"Wonder Woman?"
Zatanna took out another cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and smoked it quietly.
Her eyes glittered like morning stars in the darkness. "Although I don't have much dealings with her, I have heard her name many times. Maybe she is powerful, but I have never heard of her magic."
Zatanna still had some doubts, she asked Eric uncertainly.
"That's why we need your help."
Eric reached out to her, "To fight against Omega together, we have a common goal. Besides, we are both friends with Baron Winters!"
Eric moved out Baron Winters to persuade Zatanna.
Zatanna didn't answer, put out the cigarette and looked at Eric, "My father once said to me: if you believe in one thing, put a little trust and patience into it. Maybe you don't You know, from the moment you entered this world, I've been watching your actions."
Zatanna suddenly said something that surprised Eric, "I am willing to believe you, Baron Winters once predicted that you will be the man who will reverse everything and bring the world back to order."
"I would like to trust Baron Winters, and I would like to trust you!"
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You remind me of Bruce Wayne, we once had a good memory, although he later expelled me from his friend sequence, I have always regarded him as the most worthy of deep friendship. friend."
Saying that, as soon as she grabbed Eric's hand, "Let's fight together, bat!"
......
"Baron Winters, you really don't know where he is?"
After establishing a cooperative relationship with Zatanna, Eric was not shy and asked her directly.
"I don't know, since Skye (Air Elementalist) died and Tracy and Black Ashley were captured, the Baron has disappeared, maybe in hiding. You know, he's been treating those kids as his own... ..."
Zatanna's mood was a little down, "more old friends are sacrificed in front of him, maybe he can't accept it all."
"Ok......"
Eric nodded and was silent for a moment, "So, do you know where Constantine is?"
"You have an affair with him?"
Zatanna was a little surprised, she thought Constantine had been getting drunk at the Oblivion Bar!
"He lied to me with a box of Compound No. 5, no, it should be called 'God's Gene Medicine'."
As Eric spoke, he called in the people outside.
"This bastard, it's always been like this, I'm not surprised he would act like that."
Zatanna gritted her teeth talking about Constantine.
Eric wanted to ask, is he your ex-boyfriend? But seeing the other party's gritting expression, he immediately shut up.
"Emiko, you organize some warriors to move these corpses outside for burial. In addition, separate a group of people, Tal and Di, you and the remaining warriors go to another storage room on the opposite corner, where food is stored , cars and gasoline, to get the supplies out.”
Eric divided the staff into two groups and let them work separately.
Zatanna had already told him the location of the food storage.
