Chapter 236 34 Countdown to the Final Charge to the (Lookout) Tower

Chapter 236 34. Countdown to the final rush to the (observation) tower

"Yes, the magic stone, and a part of the formula for the genuine elixir of immortality. I specifically asked the two famous neutral alchemist brothers from the Society of Stars to identify it.

They told me that the formula was 100% authentic and they were willing to pay a lot of money to buy the broken formula from me. "

In the room of the Club of Stars, the great wizard Igor's gray ruthless eyes shone with light. He stroked the goatee on his chin and said meaningfully:

"I am old, my friend, and you are not young either. But we have only just entered this new world of possibilities, and it seems a shame to face death head-on.

I was still excited about the runes I had newly learned. I studied those ancient stone carvings all night long, trying to master the power of lightning.

It was like the excitement I felt as a child when I first encountered magic.

Time has not been generous to me.

However, I already hold the key to the divine realm, so it is really difficult for me to give up like this.

The letter said that there are at least six of the same fragments, but they are all in the hands of a certain team in that world. It was they who attacked the Amaterasu team that caused them to ask us for help.

Now it has been confirmed that the formula is authentic, and other precious materials can be collected through the system of the Star Society, but only the magic stone, which is the main body, can be produced by the most accomplished alchemists.

This may be our only chance. "

Igor raised his finger and held the small fragment of the magic stone in his hand. He said:

"Consider why our world was targeted, old friend, when the conquerors destroyed us in order to find this magical object that could escape death.

Even the seemingly omnipotent Star Council is as much a luxury as the system in which it is located, and immortality without side effects is a luxury.

Not only can we use it ourselves, but we can also use it to knock on the door to the upper level.

Even escape the sad fate of becoming a hunting dog! "

The great wizard Ai Gilbert was still cautious. He shook his head and said:

"Under the temptation of a treasure, a greedy man steps into a dangerous unknown place. This looks like the beginning of a tragic story.

It's more like a bait laid out by a cunning hunter, specially selected for those prey who can't bear it.

In this story, we don’t know who is playing the hunter, but I am certain that we are becoming the prey step by step under the temptation of the treasure.

Have you checked the world coordinates? "

"I asked someone to find out, it's an A-level world."

Great wizard Igor narrowed his eyes and said:

"The danger is definitely there, but the benefits are also there. I want to go over and have a look. If there is any fatal danger, I will exit as soon as possible."

"I don't think the other party will give you time to withdraw, Igor."

The great wizard Ai Gilbert shook his head and said:

"Why don't you send someone to explore the way first?"

"Well, that's the problem."

Igor said sadly:

"That A-level world is a bit troublesome. It has been marked as special by the three great mentors. If you want to enter it, you just need the world coordinates. You must report it to the great mentor of exploration in advance.

I have applied but the reply I got is that the team must be led by the captain himself, and the person who enters must be at least C-level and the stay must not exceed three days.

In this way, just relying on my team's strength will be a bit weak. "

"Ha, I knew it."

The great wizard Ai Gilbert sneered and said:

"How could Igor, with his poor character, take the initiative to reveal information about such a treasure to me? We were not friends before, but we were waiting for me here.

You want to recruit me just to use my students and colleagues as cannon fodder.

You think so!

The conversation ends there.

I long for treasures but I hate being used and the imminent threat of death even more. "

"I think I can convince you, give me a chance."

Old Igor didn't care about the cynicism of the man in front of him. He made a gesture and opened the closed door behind him, along with the secret door of the treasure storage room in the room.

He walked towards it holding the double-headed eagle staff and said:

"The rule between wizards is exchange of equal value. You and I are both wizards, and we all have prices. Come with me, Agilbert, and pick out a few gifts to please yourself.

Don't be too busy refusing, just check my sincerity before speaking.

No wizard can resist this knowledge from the gods, not me, not you. "

Ten minutes later, in Mr. Hunter's office on the top floor of the Star Castle, Shirley, who was disguised as a man, had just temporarily escaped from the troubling affairs caused by the third impact, and just wanted to take a nice bath to relieve the pain. I was exhausted from the busy day, and then I was interrupted by a lookless guy who came to apply for special operations.

She maintained the rationality and indifference that a great mentor should have and did not break out her bad temper. However, she frowned when she saw the joint exploration application in front of her.

She glanced at the two old wizards with very different styles standing in front of her, and then asked in a deep male voice:

"Mr. Igor, and Mr. Ai Gilbert, are you sure you want to apply to go to that dangerous world? If I remember correctly, both of you have already started the promotion process of the A-level Twelve-member Council, right?

At this critical moment, it doesn't seem to be the right choice to spend your energy in a world you are completely unfamiliar with instead of preparing for the next very dangerous promotion task.

I should have told you in advance.

The world you are going to is very, very dangerous! Even A-level personnel have to prepare well before they dare to step into it. "

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hunter, but we have made up our minds."

Old Igor replied seriously.

His answer made Mr. Hunter shake his head in his heart.

Although she didn't know what this matter had to do with the troublesome Mason and Team K, she was sure that the two confident wizards and their elite teams in front of her would never come back this time.

The destruction of the Amaterasu team didn't even sound the alarm for these guys. It seems that greed is indeed a beautiful and terrible quality.

"Well, if you are sure you want to do this. "

Ciri stopped trying to stop him.

Good words couldn't persuade the damned ghost, she took her seal and stamped it on the application, and then said to the two great wizards:

"You two and your pioneering team are the backbone of the Star Society, I should pay more attention to your future, since you are determined to go to that world, I will help you again.

The third impact is coming to an end, and the parallel world system will have to go through a period of reintegration, so the first task of your A-level promotion process should be carried out in this A-level world.

Let me see if there is a task suitable for you, wait a minute. "

She pretended to take out a thick task document and flipped through it. After a few seconds, she pointed to one of them, looked up and said to the two great wizards:

"This is it, in that world there is a city called Gotham and there is a guy in strange clothes, his nickname is 'Batman'.

You may have heard of this name in the tavern.

He is very dangerous, but he is the talent the organization needs.

Therefore, your first round of promotion mission is to capture him alive and bring him back to Star Castle. The second-level mission goal is to plunder the Bat Cave and bring back at least 20 pounds of kryptonite.

If you can accomplish this, the first round of promotion missions for both of you will be completed. ”

The two great wizards looked at each other, nodded and said:

“Thank you for your help, Master Hunter.”

“Well, go and prepare. The coordinates of the target world will be released in thirty minutes. I will send you directly to Gotham. Remember, you can’t stay for more than three days! "

Mr. Hunter stood up and watched the two great wizards leave her office. At the moment the door closed, she coughed and took out a classic Nokia mobile phone from the drawer.

Looking at the number marked as "troublemaker" on the screen, she hesitated for a moment whether to inform Mason about this matter.

She felt that Mason must have been secretly making trouble from beginning to end, but she didn't know why the little guy wanted to set his sights on these two powerful wizard pioneer teams.

But at the moment, the "personal relationship" between her and Mason was a little awkward because of the previous dispute. Perhaps, this is an opportunity to adjust the relationship?

Thinking of the various situations that kept happening to Mason, Hunter Ciri hesitated for a moment and finally pressed the number.

She felt that she needed to maintain a good relationship with Mason.

This was her intuition that her hunter instinct told her that she might need the help of Mason and his K team in the future.

——

"Bruce, Cyborg said that you just adjusted the guard force of the watchtower? "

In the control room of the cool mechanical tower in the orbit of the planet where Gotham City is located, Superman, who was flying in the air, said to Batman, who was sitting in the control chair and monitoring the important cities on the earth:

"Why? Is it your 'bat instinct' that feels dangerous again?"

"Clark, if you had carefully read the list I revised, you would not ask this question."

The old man put down the cup at hand with a little tiredness. He let the system in front of him switch to automatic monitoring, turned the chair and looked back at Superman who was dressed in classic style behind him.

He explained in a hoarse and low tone:

"Didn't you notice that most of the members of the team were in a bad mood? Including Diana, we just destroyed a world. Although we occupy the moral position, such behavior still puts us under pressure.

In this case, what our partners need is a short vacation to relieve the doubts in their hearts. I arranged professional psychological intervention for them.

Star Labs will also send professionals to take charge of this matter. "

"You think very thoughtfully, and I admit that I overlooked this point. "

Superman nodded seriously, and at the same time picked up a PDA to carefully read the guard schedule for the next few days given by the master to the Watchtower, but he became confused as he read it.

"Blue Beetle? Firestorm? These two children are members of the Teen Titans, right? It is said that they have great potential, so why is there Kara? My cousin has just found her first long-term job, and I don’t think it’s good for her career to ask her to take a leave at this time. "

Superman put down the PDA, looked at the master, and said:

"I’m not questioning your arrangement, Bruce, but these members are not familiar with how the Watchtower works, they are just "reserve" forces. "

"They can’t always be reserves, Clark!"

The master shook his head and said:

"The situation we are facing has not eased. Although Barry reported a few hours ago that the 'shock tremors' in the parallel world were subsided, we all know that this is not the end and it will happen again in the near future.

We must use this time to make the younger warriors among us realize the seriousness of the situation.

I have selected members who have great potential but lack experience. We will need them to go through a period of training to accelerate their growth.

The rotation during this period is a very good opportunity.

You don't have to worry about them not being up to it because you and I will be here to lead them.

In addition, Clark, you also know that our opponents still have spies in our world, and they are corrupting us in secret activities. Leaving these children on the earth is also a hidden danger.

I don't want to see the forces that are supposed to protect the world being pulled into the dark camp. "

"Well, if that's the case, then I don't have any doubts."

Dachao nodded, put down the PDA and said:

"But Kara's job was something she found with great difficulty. You know, she has a bit of a personality."

"You're a little overprotective of your cousin, Clark, she's a Kryptonian too!"

Batman stood up, activated his money power, and said to Superboy:

"You don't have to worry about her job at all, just five minutes ago Wayne Group News made her an intern offer and she'll get a good job at the Met.

If she's willing to accept it, she could even work until she voluntarily retires or the Wayne Group goes bankrupt. "

"etc!"

As a reporter, Dachao immediately realized something was wrong. He asked with a strange expression:

"The Wayne Group doesn't have any news department in Metropolis. This is a matter of circles. If you really do have one, Louise and I can't possibly not know about it."

"Of course you don't know."

When the master turned to leave, a fleeting and yet inimitable smile appeared under his mask, and he said:

"I just established that department ten minutes ago."

"Bruce! You can't do this!"

Dachao immediately retorted unhappily:

"You have already inserted your hands into the Daily Planet and let Louise and I work for you, and now you plan to 'trap' my cousin? With Kara's character, she will not discuss these things with you as gently as I do."

"Kara El's first credit card after entering the earth was processed by my bank. The apartment she currently rents is owned by my property. She took out a loan to buy a car and was insured by my company. The same goes for her trip to Europe last year. The entire trip was arranged through my travel agency, and the mobile phone and computer she used were specially made by Wayne Group.

I admit I was monitoring her.

But precisely because of my 'protection', your outspoken and overly kind cousin has so far escaped 24 kidnappings, 237 telecommunications frauds and 41 premeditated and purposeful approaches. "

The master presents facts and evidence.

He looked back at Dachao who was speechless, shook his head and said:

"This is not 'captivity', Clark, this is my 'discreet' concern for my team members. Just like I was helping you redeem the farm after our previous little skirmish.

Even superheroes will encounter dilemmas that they are not good at dealing with, and too much exposure to the dark side of the world will dampen your enthusiasm for guardianship.

This is what friends and teammates are for, this is what cooperation is for.

You can stand in the sun and receive praise for your efforts to protect the world.

Those unpleasant things that happen in the dark will naturally be dealt with by dedicated personnel. This is also the responsibility I should shoulder in this team.

Each of us has a role to play. "

"No, Bruce, I'm not blaming you, I'm just"

Da Chao wanted to argue with his teammates about these commonplace things again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the two heard Cyborg's serious voice:

"Batman, Superman! The space-time disturbance signal has appeared in Gotham again. This time it is very obvious. The casters are ready to take action. I can't stop them."

"Stop! Don't let them die!"

Batman and Superboy looked at each other, and the two rushed to the elevator. The old man said sharply to Cyborg:

"There has to be a plan for this."
