[Comprehensive British and American] Venus Goddess

Chapter 41 The role of the magic circle

Gathering the metal wings behind him, Tim put his hand in front of his lips like a fist, and gave a fake cough a few times, reminding a few people not to go too far.

Bruce first withdrew his gaze. He looked at the blond girl standing among his family members instead of leaving immediately to raze the owl's nest. Did you make the things on the surface of Tan City?"

Except for Tim who witnessed Inanna release the magic circle, Dick, Damian and Barbara all cast their eyes on Inanna because of this sentence.

Inanna tilted her head slightly: "Are you referring to the magic circle? If yes, I did it."

Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly, and the low and hoarse voice sounded again: "What is that magic circle? What is its function?" He had contacted members of the Dark Justice League on the way back to the Batcave, but saw some of the magic circles he passed on. Zatanna, who was in the array image, only gave an answer that didn't surprise him too much, but he couldn't get more information.

"This is the magic pattern that symbolized the power of the gods during the Age of Gods. Judging from the image you sent me, it has been activated by divine power? Is there any living god in Gotham with a complete godhead?" Zatanna said The words were full of wonder and interest, "This is incredible, B, if you can't handle it, I can go to Gotham right now..."

Then, the communication between the two was interrupted when Bruce blankly rejected the irony magic user's enthusiastic self-introduction

Instead of asking someone who couldn't reach the scene immediately, and even if he got there, he might not be able to give an accurate answer, he might as well ask the person who created the magic circle directly.

Inanna pursed her lips. The answer to this question actually involved something she couldn't answer. However, she had already confirmed that the person in front of her was not her father, maybe...

"I can answer your question," Inanna looked into Bruce's eyes through the bat helmet, "but you have to make sure that no one else knows what we're talking about today."

Barbara on the side took the initiative to speak: "Well, I think that I, who just met you for the first time, may not be suitable to listen to your conversation today, so can I say a few words first?"

"I'm just reporting on some things tonight, and then I'm leaving," Barbara looked at Inanna, then at Bruce, and then back at Bruce after both nodded in agreement, "Claw's' Corpse' I brought back to the Batcave, there is nothing to say about these, I just want to tell you that Red Hood responded to the action tonight."

"He responded to Penny One's emergency notification and protected the Freeze Man on the assassination list, Victor Fries." Barbara said, her eyes lingering on Bruce's face, even through the bat helmet , and couldn't see all the changes in his facial expression.

As Barbara's voice sounded, the Batcave fell into silence.Tim, who had been in contact with Jason after Alfred's emergency notification, lowered his eyelids slightly.

Bruce, who was wrapped in Batman's uniform, couldn't see any particular emotional fluctuations at all, he just nodded slightly and said in a low hoarse voice: "I see."

But Inanna, who has never judged a person's thinking by relying on the external performance of human beings, can feel the extremely strong emotional fluctuations caused by this sentence.

The thinking of the human beings on Earth is indeed very difficult to understand. Inanna tilted her head slightly. These people obviously care about the person named "Red Hood" very much, but they choose to forcefully suppress their emotions and don't show it.Isn't it a special tradition of the earth's human beings not to let people know their own mind?

Barbara couldn't see Bruce's reaction. She was relieved and felt a certain disappointment at the same time. She didn't know exactly what reaction she wanted from Bruce, but as she witnessed Bruce's reaction after Jason's death Grieving, and having experienced firsthand what Jason had done after his incredible return from the dead, she couldn't help but do something.

Especially when he chose to respond to Ah Fu's call for help, but was later questioned by herself who was full of vigilance, she couldn't help thinking, at that time, whether her reaction hurt him, maybe it was because of guilt, she She was looking for some comfort in Bruce's reaction, she just wanted to prove that Jason was still loved by his family - even after all the things he'd done too much.

"I'm done talking, then, I'll go first." Barbara nodded to Inanna, and then walked towards the elevator leading to the top of the Batcave.

After the lift was activated until Barbara was completely out of sight, Inanna scanned the people in the Batcave. Except for Dick and Damian who had been blessed by her, only those who were favored by her were left. Tim and Bruce want her answer.The old housekeeper did not know when he had left this place.

She glanced at Batman standing in front of her, who looked like a huge black bat, and then slightly lowered her eyelids, her slender eyelashes blocking her sapphire-like eyes: "That magic circle is God's blessing!" protection. The function is to allow those from several camps to win."

"Our own camp?" Bruce, who had already had a certain guess, rolled his eyes, and the hoarse and deep voice processed by the voice changer asked a clear-cut question without any trace.

"Actually, you already know who I am." Inanna pursed her lips and looked up at Bruce. "Although this is not the result I expected, but this way, it will be less difficult for me to explain."

"One of the most famous events in the history of your mythology in which gods intervened in human history is probably the Trojan War." Inanna lowered her eyes and looked at the toes of her shoes. In fact, in Sumer, each city-state enshrined and believed in different gods, and the difference in belief in gods even directly determined the relationship between city-states and the strength of their strength.”

"Because the gods can use their powers to bring benefits to the city-states that believe in them, and even intervene in the wars between the city-states, the gods with relevant powers have an inestimable role in the victory of the city-states. Their protection for the city-states is The protection of the gods is also the origin of this magic circle."

"Within the magic circle, those who belong to the protection camp of the gods of the magic circle can get the protection of the relevant powers of the gods." Inanna raised her eyelids, looked at Bruce standing in front of her, "I am Inanna, let everyone It is within my authority that the Patron wins the war."

Bruce looked at those sapphire-like eyes, and remembered Zatanna's sentence "Is there a living god with a complete godhead in Gotham?", this sentence can actually explain many things, just like why the same God, he has never seen Diana use an ability like "God's Protection", and the only thing related to this kind of power is probably her mantra lasso.

He wanted to further confirm his conjecture, but he also knew that in view of the fact that he had kept his mouth shut before, telling this information was already the biggest concession the blonde girl in front of him could make, so he continued to ask deeper questions. Not only will she not get an answer, but it may also destroy the mood that made her make this concession.

"Then, must the magic circle's judgment on the camp be accurate?" Bruce decided to get the answer he wanted to get tonight instead of verifying some of his other conjectures. "If there is a spy-like existence, Can the magic circle also recognize it?"

Inanna tilted her head slightly when she heard the words, she seemed to know a little bit what Batman wanted to determine: "Well, the magic circle judges the camp based on people's truest inner thoughts, even if there are people who have feelings about the hostile camp. A person with special emotions, as long as he believes that he belongs to the camp he is in, he will be recognized by the magic circle-the magic circle in ancient Sumer originally judged the camp based on faith, so there is no such thing as you said That misidentification."

Hearing Inanna's answer, Bruce's sense of disobedience when he saw Lincoln March finally came to light at this moment-if Lincoln March is really as innocent as he shows, then he can't Died under the claws of an owl when that circle covered Gotham.He had already felt strange about the assassination incident on the Wayn Tower. If Lincoln March was also on the owl's assassination list, why did he only send one claw to assassinate him at that time, instead of sending two claws to assassinate him at the same time? What about Lincoln March?

Before Night of the Owls, he hadn't really done enough for Gotham for the Court of Owls to add him to the assassination list.There is only one explanation for all this.

He lowered his head, and took out the note from between his universal belt—whether his speculation is correct or not, now only one fact is needed to verify it.

He clenched the note in his hand, turned around in Inanna's slightly curious eyes: "Thank you for your answer." Then he quickly walked towards the lift leading to the garage where the Batmobile was parked.

"Father," Damian who was standing on Inanna's right suddenly said, "You're going to find the people in the Court of Owls, right? I can..."

"Stay here, Damian," Batman, who had already stepped on the elevator, paused slightly, and then his serious and tense tone became a little softer, as if inadvertently revealing that he was a father Kindness, "Wait for me to come back."

Damian snorted when he was stopped, and crossed his arms around his chest, but Inanna beside him knew very well that he was happy at his father's sudden reassurance.

"Since you are all so worried about him," Inanna looked at the three children of Batman who were also in the Batcave, tilting her head slightly, "Why don't you go with him?"

Dick glanced at Inanna's sapphire-like blue eyes, filled with pure doubt, and laughed, "Because, we trust him more than we worry about him."

"Although he is a bastard who puts himself in danger, he never does things that are not planned." Inanna saw the eldest son of Batman shaking his head helplessly, but smiled, "He won't If something happens, even if something happens, we won't let it happen."

"Hmph, just like Grayson said, we won't worry about useless things." Damian turned his head and looked at Inanna, as if to make sure if she was worried, "You..."

"Then who the hell wanted to follow Bruce just now?" Tim, who had been standing on Inanna's left, suddenly said, with a slight smile on his lips, it seemed that it was just a joke.

But Damian felt provoked, frowned, and stared at Tim: "I was performing my duties as Batman's assistant, Robin."

Seeing the two brothers bickering, and the eldest son on one side trying to persuade the fight, but was finally drawn into the battle, Inanna suddenly felt a certain kind of contagion from them, just like she felt from the smiling faces of some of the people of Venus Yes, people can't help but want to laugh along with them.

In a slight trance, her eyes met the young man in red and black tights, and looked into a crescent-shaped blue lake reflecting the gray sky.
