In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1648: No time to die (11)
For a long time, the magic world of DC seems to be very orderly. On the face of it, this is a fairly civilized society.
And Constantine is the scum excluded by this civilized society. He is a notorious rotten person and liar in the magic circle. For a while, he can be called the shame of mankind.
But it's not because he's really bad. Although Constantine is a bad person, he can't hear a word of the truth, and his private life is chaotic, but from the human point of view, he is still a good person , then why did his reputation get so bad?
In general, the order of the DC magic world is false, because it is not human beings who make this order, but demons and angels. They need such an order to exploit human beings, so they will naturally maintain the stability of this society .
Konstantin did not follow the order of this society, but deceived the devil and the angel. The devil and the angel would naturally try their best to get their followers to discredit Constantine.
Konstantin has not experienced a particularly formal psychological and sociological education, especially the lack of certain sociological knowledge. Over time, he also felt that he was a bad guy in the magic world, and felt that the things he did could not be said Those that cannot be put on the table.
But the difference between Strange and him is that Strange has a good teacher. As he said, Ancient One is the most powerful Supreme Mage in history. She can be said to be the leader of the Marvel magic world. Ziweixing, who descended from the sky, forcibly defeated most of the demon gods who were interested in the earth with his fists.
In this case, the situation is reversed. In order not to appear weak, these defeated demon gods can only brag about Gu Yi, and the name of the supreme mage spreads in the universe like this.
Not to mention Schiller's influence on Strange, even in terms of magic, Strange knew from the very beginning that his teacher was the most upright leader in the magic world of the universe, and he was the most The only direct disciple of Qiang's No. 1 sect, no matter what he does, he is justified.
So he has no burden at all to deceive those demon gods, and even has a kind of compassionate salvation mentality-if he doesn't deceive these demon gods, they will have to be beaten by Gu Yi, although he has squeezed from them A certain amount of energy, but in fact it helped them save the most precious life, so the other party shouldn't give him one?
This difference in mentality has caused Constantine to feel that even if he is a decent person now, he still feels that his tricks of deceiving demons and angels are a bit unspeakable. He is worried about how to teach these dirty tricks to his students. It's been several days, isn't teaching people to fool people really spoiling the children?
Although he has not cheated children, it is still different to do some pranks in private and organize a large-scale class to teach these scams. Constantine is really worried that he will not be able to speak in class , I am even more worried that if I really talk about these tricks eloquently, I will be beaten to death by the parents who know the truth.
At this moment, he met Strange who was invited by Schiller. In order to let Strange understand the general situation of this cosmic magic, Schiller directly threw Strange to Constantine. At the same time, Zatanna was called, and the two gave Strange Cop the magical knowledge of the universe.
"So, the magic in your universe is essentially borrowing?" Strange asked, looking at the introduction in a book Constantine handed him.
Konstantin nodded and said, "Is that the same for you? I really thought that there are places where you don't need to borrow money. It seems that everyone is similar."
"However, you are somewhat different from us here." Strange frowned and said, "Don't you have a kind of universal energy? It means the power that can be transformed into any energy?"
Konstantin and Zatanna looked at each other, they shook their heads and said: "There is no such thing, every demon and angel has different powers, and the things they can do are also different. Something needs to summon the corresponding demon."
"What about the contract? Isn't it necessary to contract a fixed demon? If you contract a fixed demon, how do you use the power of other demons?"
"Equivalent exchange." Constantine took a piece of paper and said while writing and drawing on it: "For example, I am the agent of Beelzebub, the demon king of hell, and I obtained Beelzebub from him. The power of gluttony, but now I want to use the power of flames that can ignite everything, so I have to summon the lava demon king who is in charge of the power of flames."
"After being summoned, he will find out that I am a believer of Beelzebub through the mark in my soul, then he will make a deal with me. In hell, Beelzebub's personality is obviously stronger than the Lava Demon King, Therefore, the power of gluttony is also stronger than the power of flames, and 1 portion of power of gluttony can be exchanged for 3.3 powers of flames."
"But if you want to use the power of flames, the Lava Demon King also needs to draw from it, so in the end, you can only exchange 1 part of the power of gluttony for 2.7 parts of the power of flames."
"Then who will pay the price?"
"Both sides have to give. When you get 1 part of the power of gluttony, you have to pay 1 part of the price to Beelzebub. After summoning the lava demon and exchanging the power of flames, you need to pay 3.3 parts of the power of flames. The price is paid to the Lava Demon King."
"What **** rules!" Strange said in disbelief.
He froze in place and thought for a while, stretched out a hand to stop Constantine and Zatana from going on, took a piece of white paper next to him and the pen on the table, and wrote explain.
"After summoning Beelzebub and signing a contract with him, you have to pay him a price in a ratio of 1:1, right?"
The two on the opposite side nodded together.
"If you want to use the power of other demon kings, after summoning other demon kings, you have to exchange power with them in a dynamic ratio, but they have to deduct taxes, right? That is to say, the strength of the power itself is 1:3 , but when changing, 1 power can only be changed to 2.5 power."
The two nodded together again.
"When exchanging power, you have to pay the exchanged object again, and the price is still paid at the pre-tax price, right?"
Konstantin nodded and said: "You summed it up very well, and that's probably it."
"Then if I want to use the power of flames, why don't I directly contract the Lava Demon King? Anyway, I have to pay the same price."
"But Beelzebub can't let you break the contract." Zatana stared at Strange with round eyes and said, "If you want to break the contract, you have to pay all the price you paid before , and the soul cannot be free, it will still belong to Beelzebub after death, if you offend him, you will be tortured after death.”
Strange was speechless. He glanced at the two people across from him, and then looked down at the paper in his hand, not knowing who was crazy.
"More importantly, if you have not contracted Beelzebub, which is a higher-level demon than the Lava Demon King, then the lower-level demons will not respond to your call and exchange power with you of."
"Why?"
"Because no one endorses your credit." Constantine shook his head and said, "If you don't have a contracted big devil, how do other devils know if you will escape? Only where your soul goes after you die It is clear, the devil is sure that he will be able to recover that part of the price, so he will lend his strength to you."
"Fucking shit!" Strange cursed again, putting his hands in his pockets, he said rather puzzled: "Who made this rule in the first place? Was he kicked in the head by a donkey? "
Konstantin sighed deeply and said: "Actually, this is just a superficial rule..."
Strange's eyes widened immediately, with a bright expression on his face, "There are still experts???"
This time it was Zatanna who introduced, and Miss Magician also seemed very helpless. She put her hands on the edge of the table, turned her head to one side, and said as if she was exposing her family scandal: "In fact, in modern times, it has been common for mages to compare themselves to each other. , It may also be that some young people have been bewitched by demons, and they feel that the higher the signing level, the more face the demons will have, completely ignoring the fact that higher-level demons charge higher prices."
"The vast majority of young mages actually don't need such advanced power at all. They don't have such powerful enemies to deal with, and they don't need very precise energy to do research. These powerful forces they borrowed at a huge price , most of them were squandered."
"The result is that new young mages see that their predecessors are powerful and handsome, so they also learn to borrow those powerful powers that they can't use at all ~IndoMTL.com~ And the followers of these powerful demons If there are more, they will have a choice."
"In the later stage of development, many famous demons, such as the lava demon that John said before, have their contracts for the highest price. Whichever human being is willing to pay more can get their precious contractor quota."
"Many people sacrifice their family members and even the souls of strangers in order to gain the favor of powerful demons, just to prove that they can pay more and become better dogs."
Strange cursed a foul word, and could hardly hold back the killing intent in his heart, but he still took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, but at this moment, Constantine made another stab.
"In order to force the mages to consume more power, and then borrow more power to pay more, the demons control these mages who have lost their minds to fight other mages."
"In fact, there are basically no external enemies in the magic world. Almost all dangers come from mages who are addicted to out-of-control power. You can only let the devil make a price."
Strange tremblingly pulled a chair beside him and sat down. He was afraid that he might faint if he continued to stand, so he stretched out a trembling hand and pressed it on the paper and said: " ...How long has it been?"
"What?"
"How long has this been going on?!
"It's not too long, it has gradually evolved to the present level in the past thousand years..."
"Professor Strange? Professor Strange?!... Schiller! Schiller! Come on, this professor seems a little uncomfortable, he seems to have a seizure!"
