The Hell Merchant in American Comics

With Bruce in tow, Alec quickly found the goal of his trip.

Nine-ringed tower.

The Nine-Ring Tower is a very famous witchcraft organization. At the same time, it is also the only witchcraft group that Alec has dealt with.

Holding Bruce, Alec walked through the door and came to an old man with white hair and beard.

"I need to do a qualification test"

The old man stood up.

Alec knew his name from his nameplate: Edy Lakin.

The wizard named Ian glanced at the two of them, and calmly took out a stone tablet and said: "A devil brought a human kid to do a qualification test. This is really a rare little guy. You What is your name"

"Bruce Wayne."

The old man picked up the magic pen on the table and wrote Bruce's name on the slate.

Then, he took out a crystal ball engraved with runes, put it in Bruce's hand, then pointed to the stairs not far away, and said gently: "Go down from there, turn left and take the first room. Someone will help you. experimental."

Bruce nodded and walked down the stairs.

After dismissing Bruce, the old man once again set his sights on Alec.

"You had a deal with the Nine Rings Tower"

Alec nodded in acknowledgement.

"No wonder." The old man said with a smile, "But then again, apart from wizards, not many people are willing to make a deal with the devil."

Alec rolled his eyes: "Your reputation is not much better. In many planes, wizards and devils are the same word. If it is in the "experimental area" of the Nine-ring Tower, it is probably the group of bones in the underworld. She is more popular than you wizards."

The old man smiled and did not answer.

Because what Alec said is true.

In the endless plane, the name wizard has two characteristics, one is mystery, and the other is evil.

The reason for this result is the experimental area mentioned by Alec.

Wizards are the most classic spell casters, and spell casters have an unavoidable behavior, which is spell experimentation.

The more powerful the spell, the more experiments are required, and similarly, the more powerful the spell, the more damage the experiments cause.High-level wizards rarely do experiments in this plane. They will choose some planes with lower power levels to conduct spell experiments. Compared with focusing on destroying demons, wizards' spell styles are more bizarre. Some strange spells often The experimental subjects were transformed into humans and ghosts.Wizards who pursue efficiency rarely deal with these failures, and the monster was abandoned by them. This move brought great damage to these planes, and the wizard's reputation became more and more bad with each spell test.

In addition, wizards often make deals with devils. If both parties sign a contract, wizards can even summon devils in battle.Under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, the news that wizards can summon devils spread throughout the endless planes. However, powerful wizards are obsessed with experiments and have no time to care about such trivial matters.

Over time, the reputation of wizards became no different from that of devils.

Bruce's test ended quickly.

He looked a little downcast.

Alec immediately guessed the result. Bruce had no talent for magic.For him, this was actually a good thing. There were too many variables in learning spells, and he didn't want to destroy the future Batman inexplicably.But he didn't show his true feelings. Instead, he calmly walked to Bruce and whispered a few words of comfort.

Bruce still looked disappointed.

The old mage named Edi smiled and said, "Little guy, don't be so sad. It's normal to have no magic talent."

"Among ordinary people, on average, only one in [-] people has spell talent, and among a hundred apprentices with spell talent, only one can be promoted to a formal wizard and become a distinguished spell caster. In fact, those who fail to become a wizard The road may be a good thing for you. In addition to wizards, there are many powerful inheritances in this world. If you work hard enough, it may not be worse than becoming a wizard."

Bruce cheered up a little.

Alec thought for a moment, took out a small bag of wizard gold coins, and said to the old mage: "Wizard Edie, I want to hire a master for Bruce. I wonder if the Nine Rings Tower can provide it?"

The old mage laughed: "Of course I am not arrogant. Except for a few things related to the gods, there is nothing that the Nine-ring Tower cannot provide. However, can you afford this price? You know, even if it is dilapidated The price of inheritance is not cheap either. If you want to hire a master for this brat, in addition to hiring someone, we also have to pay the price of an inheritance. I am afraid that it is not something that an ordinary medium-sized devil can afford."

Alec smiled: "Since I made this request, I am sure of paying the price."

The old mage glanced at him in surprise.

"In that case, kid, whatever you want to learn, I will help you find the right candidate."

Bruce answered without thinking: "Close combat."

The old mage was stunned on the spot, and even Alec turned away.

Next to a few people, a passing wizard apprentice kindly reminded: "Wizard Edi is asking you which profession you want to choose, not which skills you want to learn. Close combat is a must for all combat professions. Even we wizards have to learn this course."

Bruce blushed.

"I don't know what careers there are."

Edie pulled out the visit record from the counter and handed it to Bruce with a smile: "Look for yourself. Although the occupations here are not complete, you can find the mainstream ones. In fact, you can only choose these mainstream occupations. We can only choose the ones that are too rare." It’s hard to find someone, and the price is too high.”

Bruce made up his mind quickly.

He watched for a while and asked in a low voice: "Can I become a shadow dancer?"

Alec didn't even raise his eyelids: "The prerequisite for taking office is women."

Bruce stuck out his tongue, looked at it for a while, his eyes lit up, and asked again: "Can the Dragon Pulse Warlock do it?"

Alec was angry: "Bruce, are you a giant dragon?"

Bruce lowered his head and said after a long time: "Then let's just be an ordinary warrior."

Edie smiled and took note of Bruce's choice.

Alec paid a certain deposit. Warriors belong to the Chinese cabbage profession and can be found everywhere. The Nine-ring Tower did not charge any additional gold coins.After the matter was settled, he left his contact information and left the tower with Bruce.

The two of them walked all the way outside.

Soon, Alec took Bruce to a remote temple.

Several shriveled corpses gathered around them. Bruce was frightened when he saw the undead for the first time, and hurriedly hid behind Alec.Several corpse witches "tsk tsk" laughed strangely, and then asked in hoarse voices: "Undead souls of hell, why did you set foot on the land of the underworld?"
