The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 305 4. Sad!Iceberg Bar closed down due to poor management

Going to the Fort of Stars and failing to meet the true master didn't make Mason feel uncomfortable, because his gains far outweighed the discomfort in his heart.

After returning to Osborne Tower from the base camp of the evil Star Society, he locked himself in the alchemy laboratory and was busy making what the K-team needed most at the moment.

That is, a little treasure that can guarantee everyone's concealment in Gotham.

Given the current situation where Mason cannot often return to his home world and the Stars Club has already targeted the Gotham world, it is a certainty that Team K will maintain a two-sided battle in the coming time. 1.0 split into two groups for convenience.

My team can guarantee safety in the new base world of Osborne Tower, but the team members sent back to their hometown and the group of people who are active there must have a stronghold that will not be detected and attacked casually.

Putting people first in everything is Mason's principle of doing things.

However, for alchemists who are already very skilled, it is still the first time to make cursed items, especially when holding a piece of "starry sky creation" as a raw material.

"Snapped"

He carefully cut out the old stone slab in his hand with jewelry processing tools, repaired it along the outline of the abstract big eyeball, and got rid of the excess stone to get the fist-sized main material.

During the whole process, Mason blindfolded his eyes with a black cloth to avoid the mental shock caused by looking directly. He completed this delicate work completely relying on his production instinct as a craftsman.

Subsequent steps are much simpler.

The material gifted by the great warlock mentor has quite magical properties. No matter how hard Mason makes it, the final product must be a standard quality whiteboard item.

In this case there is no need to do much decoration.

Its magic comes from itself, which can be described as "naturally made", and does not require craftsmen to add more things to the snake.

After Mason endowed the stone slab with "solid" and "hidden" characteristics through alchemy, he used jewelry processing skills to create an outer frame for it.

The final product is a rustic plate with a pale gold frame centered on a slate painted in dark colors or an abstract sun.

If you don't tell the truth, others will definitely think that this is some kind of arty old cultural relic.

"It's done!"

Mason held it in front of his eyes to observe, and the information label quickly popped up:
The Eye of the Starry Sky·The Protection of the Outer Gods

Quality: Standard Alchemy/Jewelry Crafting Items Standard Crafting
Traits: Strong, Stealth, Space Expansion, Invisible Counterattack

Effect: slightly
Producer: Mason Cooper
Item description: San value-1, San value-1, San value-1 Congratulations!You are crazy!
"Look carefully. Hiss, it's really evil."

This time, Mason deeply agreed with the unscrupulous item description's evaluation of this thing. After all, even he, the maker, didn't dare to look directly at the lines in the center of this old plate.

"If you really put this thing on Gotham Street, it is estimated that there will be a batch of difficult doomsday worship psychopaths in your cesspit hometown in a few days."

The hat on Mason's forehead complained:
"Although the effect is definitely very good, I suggest you bury it deep under the glacier bar, and don't let anyone dig it out. It's a crime."

"Isn't it impossible?"

Mason sighed, put the disc of the eye of the starry sky into a closed box, held it in his hand, and said:

"As it is at present, there is really no way to suppress the situation without this kind of alien creation. Just a Doctor of Fate knocking on the door is enough for the people I sent there to be wiped out overnight.

Those of us who have become street rats in our hometown can't ask for more, can we? "

"They'll be drawn in, just like that gloomy warlock."

The hat reminds:
"Most spellcasters are emotional and stubborn, and they are more likely to be affected by the environment where the dark stars are heading towards catastrophe.

After realizing that persistence is difficult to get results, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will turn to darkness, and their instinct of advocating knowledge also makes them easy to fall into the trap deliberately set for them.

You can send Thomas Wayne to track down two or five of the superheroes, but you have to prepare in advance for the magic circle. Zatana alone is not enough to deal with this kind of secret change.

Although she is sharp and has a promising future, she is no match for four hands after all. "

"I know, I'm already preparing."

Mason took out a set of more formal clothes from his luggage, and while changing, he said:

"Although we can't send Jack Kang back to preside over the big events in the magic circle, we still have another option at hand.

Jason Brad has been wandering the wasteland long enough that there's no way he can do it, and now he has Flash as a courier to find him a safe way home.

I believe the old knight will be on our side. "

"Mr. K!"

The door of the alchemy room was pushed open, and Harley, who was wearing a long red dress, shouted at the door:
"Everyone is about to leave, Selena asked me to call you, I heard that it will be very lively there tonight, I don't want to miss it, and we have to bring Ivy back quickly.

I miss her all the time. "

"Here comes."

Mason straightened his collar, buttoned it up and took the box with him, and was dragged by Harry's arm to the top floor of Osborne Tower.

Three gates to the world lined up on the wall of the large lounge.

Two of them were temporarily unusable because they were sealed by the spellcasters in Gotham, and the world gate from the Hydra team became their only channel to travel between the two worlds.

All the members of Team K will be here.

Everyone, including the second barrel, changed into formal clothes for the opening ceremony. They are going back to Gotham tonight, and almost everyone has their own things to hurry up and finish.

"You guys get ready."

Mason looked at several others in the lounge, including Supergirl Kara-El, Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes, and Professor Jakes Jackson and Martin Stein, who made up Firestorm.

He said to these new reserve members of the K team who were "kidnapped":
"We both need to have a talk after I come back. I know you're both upset, but now that you're here, perhaps the more urgent thing for you right now is to look forward to the future instead of remembering the past."

"Ah, bad enemies, you want to stay? I don't want to be with you."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, a big man next to him, wearing a Superman uniform but with an inverted S on his chest, stepped forward, and said provocative words with a look of reluctance, which made the members of the K team laugh.

The powerful but poor-minded Zombie Superman shook Mason's wrist. He was obviously a super big man, but the expression on his face at this moment looked like a sad child.

Mason looked at the scary-looking guy with gray skin still cracked everywhere, he sighed and said:
"Stay here, Bizarro, you're going to make trouble in the past. Zod will play with you, okay?"

"Zod is a bad enemy, but Mason is stupid, Bizarro hates playing with Mason, you can make me stupid! I like stupid! Everyone in K team is stupid!"

After saying this, not only the members of Team K couldn't help laughing, but even the four reserve members who were very hostile to Mason covered their mouths.

This guy Bizarro always listens to the opposite.

If you are not familiar with his style, you will think that he is deliberately provocative, but this clumsy but innocent guy is just trying to show his kindness.

He has been very close to Mason since he was rescued by Mason, but his reckless style made Mason really afraid to bring him into his alchemy room or workshop.

It was a disaster.

"This is for you, it may make you smarter."

Mason took out a bottle of intelligence enhancer from his luggage and handed it to Bizarro. This potion from the Hogwarts Potion inheritance can make the drinker "smarter" in a short time.

But this is just an illusion.

Its real effect is to clear one's mind undisturbed by enchanting magic.

However, for Bizarro, whose brain is not fully developed, what he needs is not real wisdom but just this kind of smart "feeling". He took Mason's potion, unplugged it, and poured it down, then wiped it As soon as Zuiqi's gray-blue eyes lit up, he cheered:
"Yay! Stupid! Stupid! Zod, bad enemy, hurry up! Let's do the crossword puzzle! I'm going to lose this time!"

He cheered and pulled Far Zod, who looked helpless, and rushed to the door.

The helpless Zod made a gesture to Mason before leaving, telling him not to worry, he will stay here to take care of Bizarro and take care of the four restless reserve members.

This Kryptonian from the dead world has a strong distrust of human beings because of his experience in the first half of his life, and he also behaved very withdrawn when he came to Osborne Tower.

But he only gets along very well with Bizarro, who has no heart and no brains.

Maybe it's because of the ulterior motives, Zod obviously prefers to play with fools, at least fools won't hurt him with bad intentions, and just like Bizaro, who is crazy about his shots, Zord is the only one in the K team. De Neng could barely keep an eye on him.

"I've been meaning to ask you, what happened to that lonely Kryptonian?"

When Mason and his little friends opened the door to the world, the super girl who was floating in the air with her arms folded suddenly asked:

"Especially the family crest on his body"

"You can ask him yourself, or you can be patient and wait for me to come back."

Mason said without looking back:

"Stop messing around in Osborne Tower. The old Green Goblin endures your misconduct just for my sake, and it's no good for you if you annoy him."

After finishing speaking, his figure disappeared into the rotating starry sky light curtain, and the gate of the world was closed with a bang.

The four people in the lounge looked at me and I looked at you, and finally Jakes took the initiative to say:

"Do it?"

"go!"

Carla ordered.

He rushed out of the lounge window first, and disappeared into the sky with an acceleration.

Little Black Jacks and the gray-haired Professor Stein held hands to activate the fire storm matrix in their chests, and transformed into elementals amidst the raging fire. As soon as they grabbed the main weapon, the sealed blue beetle rushed into the sky amidst cheers.

Obviously, they didn't intend to stay here honestly according to Mason's order, they were still thinking about how to get rid of the damn K team's restraint.

And this scene was clearly seen by Norman Osborn in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office.

The old green goblin gave a sinister smile, turned around and told the secretary standing behind him:
"Notify those warlike Amazons that there are dangerous things breaking free in Osborne Tower, and ask them to help hunt them down. In return, we will support them with materials to rebuild Paradise Island.

Tell the group of female wolves to be more aggressive!

These few little bastards who didn't know what to do destroyed half of my building before. Do you really think that my resources are all blown by the wind?Now that their guardian is away, it's time to let them know the rules of the adult world. "

-

"boom"

Huge fireworks exploded in the sky above the Iceberg Bar, attracting the cheers of the passers-by. Tonight, the bar was crowded with guests from all walks of life who were invited.

Luxury cars stopped one by one, and distinguished guests appeared.

The camera flashes on both sides of the red carpet were dazzling, and even local journalists broadcast the opening ceremony in fact.

Yet the once-iconic Iceberg bar sign has been ripped off and replaced with the "Afterlife" logo in a very ethereal artistic font.

That's right!

The bar originally run by the kiteman Charles Brown has closed down due to multiple damages in a short period of time, resulting in poor management. It re-opened tonight after a complete renovation.

Tsk, just look at the celebrities who are smiling like they are attending a charity dinner at Wayne's house, and you will know that this new boss must be another person with all-hands and eyes.

"As for being so exaggerated?"

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the bar, Mason looked down at the lively scene below, and said:

"I originally wanted to open the business in a low-key manner. After all, what is being done here is a shameful business."

"So, you're really not suited to intelligence gathering and concealment, Mason."

Talia al Ghul's calm voice sounded behind the captain.

Tonight's assassin leader was wearing a gorgeous black evening dress, outlining the perfect body line of this cunning woman like a fox, adding a bit of cold temptation to the already beautiful appearance.

To be honest, after being reborn for so long, this Thalia is indeed the only woman who can compete with Lord Catwoman in terms of temperament, but it is a pity that she is a fairy and focuses on the master.

Holding a glass of wine, she walked up to Mason and whispered:
"In a chaotic place like Gotham, if you want to live a stable life, you have to show your skills and strength. These so-called celebrities are meaningless in the eyes of the Assassin League.

But the resources they represent will keep the bar safe and sound.

Charles Brown just doesn't understand this, so he manages this golden egg bar so badly. I just went to see the accounts, tsk tsk, it's flattering him to say that he can't make ends meet.

It's just that I don't understand, why do you have to use this name?

afterlife
It sounds ominous. "

"Because the owner of this bar is neither me nor you."

Mason looked at the time on his watch. The moment he turned around, the secret door of the secret area in the office compartment on the top floor of the bar was pushed open.

The chic old aunt Rogge in a leather jacket walked out with a group of bionics.

She looked around and nodded to Mason, then snapped her fingers, and the bionics in formal suits behind her immediately dispersed to take over various departments of the bar.

In the compartment behind him, more business talents and security personnel from the 2077 world came out one after another.

"Is this the position you chose?"

Aunt Rogge strode forward and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to observe the surroundings. After a few seconds, she nodded and said:
"Yes, it's a good place to open a bar. I can't stay here for a long time, but I will leave a few people to run the business. Girl Zhu Di will set up the communication network database here. I have selected fifty smart and capable people from the mikoshi. The mercenaries stayed behind.

After a while, a bionic human production line will be sent over, and it will be blended with it. If necessary, the personality data of the violent terrorist mobile team with a quota of 500 people can be quickly downloaded through the data interface of Mikoto.

But the matching weapons have to be provided by you. "

After finishing speaking, the old aunt glanced at Thalia beside her. She looked the woman up and down, nodded and said:

"That's right, he's a good candidate to be a mercenary. Are you interested in registering with the Afterlife Squad? We're short of good players right now, so I can reserve a spot for you."

"This is mine, Roger."

Mason shook his head and said:
"You're too blatant to dig a corner, aren't you?"

"Ha, just kidding. Anyway, the two of you seem to be in a relationship that seems to be inseparable. If you dig around casually, you may have some unexpected gains."

The old aunt laughed, took the wine offered by Mason and drank it down, then looked around, the blue light in her pupils swirled.

After a moment he said:
"The time-space disturbance when the gate of the world was opened was completely smoothed out, and no energy leaked out. It seems that you got something good?"

"That is."

Mason picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for his partner. He picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly. He glanced at the eye of the starry sky in the office showcase and said softly:

"This is the base of operations of the K team and the afterlife team in this world, wouldn't it make you look down on me if I don't make it safer?

But even things like the Mikoshi interface are put here, it seems that Captain Morgan has made up his mind.Are you sure you want to participate in the upcoming disputes in this world? "

"We are allies, Mason, don't say such outrageous things, it will affect the relationship."

Aunt Roger looked at the brightly lit city in front of her.

She raised her glass again, and said in a deep voice against the background of Night City in front of her eyes:
"I'm bloody here for the stars! Cheers."
