Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 62 How come I, the captain of Team K, am not considered a big shot?
Zha Kang came in a hurry because it was indeed an urgent matter.
While the deck of the Black Pearl continued to maintain a happy atmosphere, he and Mason had already entered the captain's room for a secret talk, and the zombie dragon was captured by Constantine with magic.
The sharp-eyed Mason immediately discovered that the object used by Zha Kang was the same as the voodoo birdcage, but the appearance was slightly different.
It seems that he has almost mastered all of Blackbeard's voodoo in the past few days.
As expected, he is a guy whose spellcasting depends entirely on his talent.
"Look at my tattoos!"
As soon as they entered the cabin, Zha Kang rolled up his sleeves to show Mason the devil tattoo on his left arm. The young man was also shocked when he took a look.
As a D-class personnel, Zha Kang's tattoo was supposed to be just two ghost claws, but now it has "grown" to the same size as Mason's tattoo.
He actually became a C-level personnel without completing any Star Club missions!
Constantine said with a sad face, holding his beloved Sicca cigarette in his mouth:
“I think this could be a warning, or maybe our trickery didn’t completely trigger the curse of the Star Society, but it still met some of the conditions.
I'd probably die in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.
Fortunately, I still have some hidden tricks, and I paid some price to suppress the expansion of this thing. Another thing, there is a 'newcomer' in the ruins of Hogwarts."
"Um?"
Mason narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Are they senior members, or just newbies? Did they enter the Forbidden Forest?"
"No, I let Norbert out to scare them away."
Zha Kang played with the flying dragon statue in his hand and said proudly:
"They should be a group of rookies. It's similar to the situation when Lao K led you guys. There was a guy who looked powerful but he didn't choose to fight Feilong head-on. Instead, he decisively left with his teammates.
But I followed the route they took and found some interesting things. In that world, there is a kind of magic powder called Floo Powder, right?
Those rookies escaped through that thing.
They found an intact fireplace in the ruins. I went over to take a look and it seemed to be a destroyed magic academy over there, right in France.
But the place had been plundered clean long ago, not even a hair was left."
The "Norber" that Constantine was talking about was the zombie flying dragon in his hand. That was the name Hagrid gave to this Norwegian Ridgeback dragon.
Zha Kang was too lazy to change and just continued to call him that.
Mason nodded and said:
"Hogwarts is a public world designed for newcomers to practice, so it's not surprising that other people appear. It seems that the barrier you left at King's Cross Station has been destroyed.
As for the School of Magic...
There are plenty of them in that world.
Not counting the secret orders, there are three in Europe alone, and other continents have their own heritage. Old K said that Hogwarts is the last unexplored area, and other places have been emptied long ago.
Can you confirm that your curse will not grow any further?"
"I'm sure."
Zha Kang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. He looked at Mason again, looked left and right, and then snapped his fingers.
A ball of green flame danced and formed a circular arch beside him, and then a sneaky guy like a goblin ran out from it. He held up a silk cigarette with both hands and handed it to Zha Kang with great fear. In Zha Kang's smug expression, he summoned flames with both hands to help the black magician light the cigarette.
Then, this creature that looked like a little devil waved its claws at Mason viciously and then turned into black smoke and disappeared.
"Look, this is the power I got from the curse. I can summon a group of hell creatures across the world. That thing just now was called a little devil. There should be more dangerous and powerful hell creatures on it waiting for me to summon.
This kind of summoning does not require me to pay any sacrifices or owe any ghost contracts. As long as I have magic power, I can summon continuously.
It’s so convenient and so generous.
I told you this curse isn't all bad."
Constantine blew out a smoke ring and said:
"I have perfected the spell I got from Xiaoza. Although it will still attract the attention of that godly devil, I am sure that the sequelae of the power I get this way will definitely be much less than the price paid by other members of the Star Society."
“But there’s still a price to pay.”
Mason was a little unsure whether he should let Zha Kang hold the ceremony for Selina and Charles. Seeing him so hesitant, Constantine immediately knew that it was Mason's kindness that showed up again.
He sighed and said:
"That's enough, Mason. Is it possible to have power without paying a price since ancient times? Batboy sacrificed his teammates to gain such dangerous combat experience.
Superman is even worse off, he even lost his home planet."
"Well, I don't think those two examples fit, but you might have a point. They should decide that for themselves."
Mason nodded, skipped the topic and asked:
"What do you think about Xiao Zha summoning you?"
"Well, I think I'll be blessed when I go back."
When this was mentioned, Zha Kang smiled a smile that every man could understand, and he moved his lower body in an obscene manner, but under Mason's dim gaze, the black magician snorted.
He blew a smoke ring and said:
"It must be an emergency. I guess Xiao Zha summoned more than just me. The important people in the magic circle should have been invited.
Even Zuckerberg himself may not be the person in charge, but just an assistant to the real convener.
If I had to say, I'd say it has something to do with what the All-Stars are doing in Gotham and around the world, and the Magic Circle has been mobilized to investigate the origins of those guys.
So, you have to keep a low profile recently!
Avoid using the World Gate if possible.
Although the space-time vibrations transmitted when that thing was turned on were very weak, they were real.
If we encounter a spellcaster of the level of Doctor Fate or Lady Xanadu, they can easily capture this vibration. "
"So we have to make arrangements in advance and lie dormant for a while?"
Mason nodded and continued:
"But John, you won't betray us when you meet your old lover and are questioned by him, right?"
"Hey, to be honest, this is also one of my options."
Zha Kang smiled very cunningly, rubbing his hands together with a universal gesture, and said:
" That depends on what you have to convince me with."
"That's enough!"
Mason sighed, took out the phoenix egg that he hated so much from his bag and handed it to Constantine. Constantine was obviously an expert at identifying value, and his eyes widened when he saw the phoenix egg.
But after walking around the egg for a few times, he shook his head and said:
"No, this thing has formed some kind of connection with you. It won't have a second owner until you die. Did you feed it with your flame?"
Facing Zha Kang's question, Mason sighed and nodded:
“I almost died at its hands.”
"You deserve it."
Constantine sneered mercilessly:
"Phoenixes are very sensitive to fire, especially magical fire, which can easily attract them. Your magic fire comes from the power of a divine devil, which is exactly the kind of energy-rich food that this weak phoenix needs most.
Keep feeding.
If you persist long enough, it will eventually hatch."
"So, I'll use this to convince you?"
Mason took out another bottle of essence of the Pool of Lazarus, which Zha Kang also liked. After collecting them all, he curled his lips and looked at the remains of the tattered school cap that Mason took out of his bag.
This gray and tattered thing had been used as Miss Mag's nest for the past few days, and was therefore covered with cat hair.
Zha Kang was extremely disgusted by what he saw.
However, the black magician touched it with his hand and rubbed his chin and said:
"This thing is quite interesting. It has its own thoughts. It must have been 'activated' by the great wizards of Hogwarts. But it has also established some strange connections with you.
I can't activate it anymore except by you.
Here’s a suggestion for you.
Sew it up as soon as possible, maybe there will be a surprise inside.”
"That's it."
Mason spread his hands and said:
"All my good stuff is here. If you don't like it, I can't do anything about it. But at the Star Trade Fair starting in a week, if you don't mind, I can let you choose first.
Is this enough to satisfy you?"
"Okay."
Zha Kang showed a nonchalant expression, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and snapped his fingers, allowing Jason Todd, who was standing at the door, to walk in with his teeth gritted and his body stiff.
The second barrel was obviously controlled by some force.
His mind was still clear but his body was completely out of control, and all the muscles in his body were tense.
"This idiot has residual power from the Lazarus Pool in his body, and he didn't know how to remove it. As a result, I easily subdued him."
Zha Kang was playing with a voodoo stick carved into a human figure and handed it to Mason.
Blowing smoke rings, he said:
"If he doesn't obey, use this thing to teach him a lesson. With his current understanding of magic, he can't break free. However, the dark power in his body will dissipate over time, so you can only use it three times at most."
“That’s not necessary.”
Mason took the wooden stick and broke it with a snap as Ertong watched, causing Ertong's body to go limp and almost fall to the ground.
The captain of Team K stared at the second barrel, threw the broken wooden stick in his hand to him, and said:
“I believe Jason is a smart man, and we in Team K should love each other. We don’t need to use this seemingly evil method to control each other.
Once a chain of suspicion is formed, things will be troublesome.
I don't want to have to fight the enemy with wits and courage while also guarding against bullets from behind... John, prepare the blood pact."
"Wait a minute, we'll talk about it tonight."
Constantine said:
"I need to take a break. The red-haired girl just now is very cute. I just need a lab assistant. Let her help me."
"Um?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said in a long voice:
"Do the duties of your so-called 'assistant' include warming your bed and helping you relieve physiological stress?"
"What do you think?"
John grinned, showing his sharp white teeth.
The next moment, the second barrel suddenly jumped up and grabbed his neck with a naked stranglehold. The black magician's spine was crackling under the pressure of the scarlet knight.
"Let go! It's going to break!"
Zhakang screamed but Ertong remained unmoved.
Mason sighed as he looked at the scene before him and said:
"Barbara is protected by Jason. If you want to hook up with that girl, you have to get past him first. Also, before you are about to reunite with Zack, I really don't recommend that you have any more affairs.
Be a human being, John.
Isn't the trouble you got into with your lower body enough to teach you a lesson?"
"whispering sound"
At Mason's signal, Jason let go of Zha Kang with dissatisfaction. The latter curled his lips and looked at Ertong with some fear.
This guy didn't waste a single second from the time he attacked to the time he controlled himself. Encountering an enemy like this at close range is a nightmare for all spellcasters.
This bastard Mason has a good eye for choosing team members.
"Let's make a statue like Norbert for the other 'little animals' we have. It will be easier to carry."
Mason looked at the flying dragon statue in Constantine's hand and asked with great interest:
"Is there anything I can learn from Blackbeard's voodoo encyclopedia?"
"I know what you want, so I've prepared it for you."
Zha Kang casually took out a piece of paper from his magic book and threw it to Mason.
Not only are there voodoo-related enchantments and inscription formulas on it, but the thoughtful black magician has even compiled some effective combat enchantments and advanced inscription formulas from the Hogwarts magic books.
This is the benefit of having a professional spellcaster in the team. These supernatural powers require real experts to handle in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, Zha Kang didn't give all this knowledge for free. He stretched out his hand towards Mason and said:
"Give me another piece of the Philosopher's Stone fragment from before, any size is fine."
"Don't you have one in your hand?"
Mason said with some distress:
"That's the alchemist's holy relic! I don't have much."
"What price do you think I paid to suppress the expansion of the curse?"
Zha Kang rolled his eyes and pointed to his left arm, saying:
"I've used my piece to save my life, and now I want another piece to take back to Xiao Zha to have a look. Maybe her genius alchemist can summarize some tricks.
You won’t suffer any loss anyway.”
"I have to pay for your nights with girls?"
Mason said coldly:
"Do you want me to buy both of your TTs?"
"We don't use Muggle stuff that affects our senses."
Zha Kang showed off the new words he had learned and said proudly:
"We have a magical contraceptive! You idiot, stop talking nonsense and give me a live little unicorn and a piece of the Philosopher's Stone.
Tsk tsk, this is enough for proposing marriage!"
A few minutes later, Mason, with a sullen face, and the satisfied Zha Kang walked out of the captain's room together, with the expressionless Ertong following behind them like a muscular and cold bodyguard.
Lady Selina, who had been socializing with the upper class people in this world, came over slightly tipsy and handed a luxurious invitation to Mason.
explain:
"The Pirate Kings' meeting will begin on Turtle Island tonight. Barbossa and the other Pirate Kings have unanimously agreed to invite 'Wizard Mason' to join the meeting as a spectator.
Look, you are now a big man who can influence the future of the world, little Mason."
"I'm more concerned about what we gain than a boring meeting."
Mason played with the invitation in his hand and glanced at the several ships anchored nearby. Jack Sparrow and Angelina Teach were leading the pirate followers of Team K to count the harvest on each ship.
Even if everyone in Team K had a magic bag brought back from Hogwarts, it would take many trips to transport so many magical materials and treasures.
"Selina, who do you think is richer now, me or Bruce?"
Mason asked suddenly.
Catwoman was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the platinum bracelet on her wrist which was inlaid with eighteen gemstones of different colors. She thought for a moment and said:
"If all of this can be converted into cash, you probably have one-third of the Wayne family business?"
“Only one third.”
Mason shook his head in disappointment, then remembered something and said to Catwoman:
"Where is Elizabeth Swann and her son? I have to go and see for myself."
"On a small island nearby."
Selena says:
"It's to prevent the pirates here from discovering them. After all, their identities in this world are quite special. Shall we go over and take a look now?"
"Well, without further ado."
Mason looked at the calm sea in front of him. He seemed to be able to see through the waves a pair of eyes in the dark and cold seabed watching him.
He coughed and said:
"An agreement is an agreement. Breaking the agreement has never been our K team's style."
