"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the past many years, the nights at Wayne Manor have been very quiet, because there is only one male master and his old housekeeper here. will be extinguished, and a huge manor will be completely engulfed in darkness until dawn comes again.

But this night, the lights in Wayne Manor were kept on, and the sound of the ladder rubbing against the bookshelf broke the silence in the room. Dick wrinkled his face and coughed twice, waved his hand in front of his nose, I want to drive away the dust in front of me.

He looked up at the rows of thick books on the bookshelf, slid his fingers across their spines, and suddenly stopped on a book called "Ten Mysterious Legends You Didn't Know" .

Dick stretched out his hand, took the book out of a pile of tightly packed books, then climbed down a few steps of the ladder, threw the book down, and Aisha jumped up high on the ground , caught the book, then swung her short legs, and put the tome, which she couldn't hold in her arms, into a pile of books next to her.

Dick climbed up the ladder in three steps and two steps, and continued to rummage through the bookshelves. While searching, he said to himself: "The life of the rich is richer than I imagined..."

He looked up at the reading room. This is the library of Wayne Manor. It is located in the westernmost tower of the manor. The entire reading room occupies an entire floor of the tower. There are hundreds of rows of bookshelves and Countless books are stacked on top of each other in a circular arrangement.

The entire reading room retains a strong British style. The reddish-brown bookshelves depict naturalistic decorations. In the center of the reading room is a row of circular sofas and several semicircular rows of desks.

"In the past, if I could live in a house like this, I would be very happy, but this place is just a place to put books."

Dick muttered in a low voice, he took another book from the shelf, climbed down the ladder himself, put this book on top of Elsa's pile of books, and picked up the big book With stacks of books, he walked towards the center of the reading room.

There, Bruce was looking down at one of the books. Dick walked over and put a thick stack of books on the table. He patted the top book and said, "Mr. It is all the books with occult keywords in area b, and I have arranged them in chronological order, the older the ones are."

Bruce took a sip of water and nodded. Dick took Aisha to another area and continued to find books for Bruce.

Even Batman has to admit that having such a little assistant can really save a lot of things, and Dick and him have a very good understanding. Bruce is indeed reading these books in chronological order. He didn't say this At one point, Dick sorted out all the books with a tacit understanding.

If you want to talk about why he reads here, you have to start after he and Constantine parted last time.

Batman knew from Constantine that Mrs. Sanchez might be using children from all over Gotham to practice. It's completely unreliable, and Batman doesn't want to point fingers at others, so he plans to study this knowledge by himself.

But for a complete outsider, it is very difficult for a complete outsider to practice without a mentor. Batman can only find the old priest of Gotham Cathedral.

Batman didn't forget that when the priest was in the church, he could use the mysterious wine pool under the church to gain some special abilities. He thought, maybe this would help him in his research on the mysticism?

He came to the church at dusk, and the priest was not surprised by his appearance. After hearing his intentions, the old priest shook his head and said, "As a priest, I certainly know that there is such a circle. exist, but I advise you not to deal with them, because most of them trade with demons in exchange for special power."

"There will be no good endings if you do this. Maybe for a while, they can gain extremely powerful power, just like in those fantasy novels, but they will inevitably pay an unimaginable price for this power , that would be a pain worse than death."

"You misunderstood, I don't want to use this method to gain power, but I hope to find a way to deal with this power,"

Standing in the shadow of the church, Batman said to the priest: "Many people are now in danger because of this terrible power, and I don't know anything about it."

The movement of the priest to wipe the cross in his hand paused, and he said: "If you just want to understand this aspect of knowledge, then you shouldn't come to me."

"Who am I going to see?"

"You should know that the most prosperous era of occultism has passed. Most people nowadays don't respect ghosts and don't believe in gods, especially in Gotham. However, in the last era, there was a wave of black magic on the entire east coast. Trends, if you want to know this kind of knowledge, it is best to find it from history.”

"In Gotham, there are not many ancient families, but there are always one or two. The ancient families are the same. They like to record history and collect collections. A little trace..."

Thus, Bruce began to search for the waves hidden under the water in that era in the collection of Wayne family.

Anything related to occultism has a subtle and weird beauty. They are good at using words and word orders that ordinary people don't use to describe one thing. There are various code words between the lines, as if rejecting Every ordinary person explores it.

But if you look at these stories with a rational attitude, you will find that they are just stories. The logic of the story itself is no different from those children's books written in fairy tale books. Many of the concepts are just ordinary people's imagination about this mysterious circle, and there is absolutely no evidence to test.

The clouds outside the window were flying faster and faster, and Bruce turned the pages faster and faster. Dick walked back and forth again and again. In the end, Dick had already searched for all the books with occult keywords, sat across from Bruce, and began to read books.

His reading speed is much slower than Bruce's, because Bruce reads these stories just to find information, and Dick is really attracted by these mysterious stories, Elsa sits next to him, also pretending to read , but every once in a while a piece of paper would be missing from the book, and Aisha swallowed it all.

Dick was fascinated by the reading, until the light sound of Bruce putting down the water glass startled him, he looked up and found that the pile of books in Bruce's hand had been, all read, he also closed the book, and asked Bruce: "What did you find?" Mr. Wayne?"

Bruce's eyes fell on the book Dick was reading, Dick saw his eyes, looked down at the book in front of him, and said, "Oh, this is what I just got' Ten Mysterious Legends', it's pretty good..."

"What's in it?"

"Well..." Dick hesitated, a little unsure of how to answer, Bruce drank his saliva and said, "This is not an exam, nor is it a homework for reading notes, I just want to try a different perspective, see Can you find a new way of thinking?"

"Well, there are ten stories recorded in this, I just saw the end of the second one, the first legend is about werewolves, and the second story is Suicide Town, I think it's still the second The story is more interesting..."

"Do you think there are clues that might be useful?"

"Clues?" Dick asked very puzzled: "Isn't this just a ghost story? Where will there be any clues?"

Bruce looked away from Dick, and turned to look at the book in his hand. This book introduced various magic circles, and boasted the functions of these magic circles miraculously, but Most of them look like children's graffiti, and the various examples cited are not in line with reality.

Bruce said to Dick: "If you are sleepy, go to bed, I will continue to watch for a while."

Speaking, he walked to the bookshelf by himself, and began to search for some books about history. This kind of fantasy story cannot provide detailed and reliable clues, so perhaps some traces can be found in the history of the development of Gotham City.

After Bruce found the book, he sat down again, but Dick and Aisha didn't leave. Dick looked up and asked him: "Is the legend of the witch true? The children who ate sugar, their souls were sold to the devil? "

Dick put his hand on his face and said: "I feel a little strange, if Mrs. Sanchez is really a witch, why did she come to Gotham?"

"When my parents came to Gotham, they were forced to do nothing, except for the circus here who was willing to accept them ~IndoMTL.com~ The entire east coast couldn't find another job, so we You can only come here."

"If we had other options, we would definitely not come to this city. The weather here is bad, it is dangerous, and the people are not very good-tempered and difficult to get along with. We would not come here if we were not desperate. What about."

"But, since Mrs. Sanchez is a witch, she should be much stronger than us, right? Why does she have to come to Gotham?"

"The children here are not special compared to other children, right? If there is anything to say, the children here are more violent and difficult to deal with..."

Bruce's hand stopped flipping through the pages, and Dick saw the motion and said, "Oh, sorry, did I bother you? It's just that I can't sleep right now, how about I sit at the desk on the other side? "

"No, you can continue."

"Say what?"

"The part about Gotham."

"I've already said it. This is actually a very simple truth. If outsiders are not desperate, they shouldn't come here, right?"

"Of course, I know that there are quite a lot of foreigners coming here recently, but that's because Gotham has suddenly been cool recently, but Mrs. Sanchez has been here for a long time. When she came, Gotham should be more dangerous Right?"

"Indeed." Bruce's voice was always stable in frequency, and his tone didn't fluctuate when he spoke, which sounded drowsy.

"Laurena Sanchez has no reason to choose a city like Gotham as her base camp, but since she did, there must be a reason."

Bruce lowered his eyes and looked at the book in his hand. On the cover of the book was written: "Notes of Solomon Wayne".
