[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"I can't think of the story of Moses' exodus from Egypt..."

Matthew sighed, and took out the black crystal: "Can you undo the ancient Egyptian magic curse on the surface of the crystal?"

"this?"

Emerton paused for a rare moment, and said, "I can only unlock part of the magic seal."

"the remaining part--"

"You need to find a magician who is proficient in the dark arts, female."

"Why does it have to be a woman?"

"This...cough cough...because the magic on the surface of this crystal is magic with a blood curse, and it is a special blood curse that stipulates that the person who understands the curse must be a woman..."

Imerton said, "In my time, the magical system was far more complex than it is today."

"All right……"

Matthew handed the black crystal to Emerton: "Release the part you can relieve first."

"Follow..."

Imerton took the black crystal with both hands, and sat down cross-legged with a serious expression, muttering words, and constantly gesticulating with various weird and complicated figures with his hands.

Matthew looked at Imerton with great interest, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs began to appear in front of his eyes.

This is--

【Respected and great master, you are learning the ancient Egyptian spiritual script by observing the spellcasting scene of your other servant Imerton. 】

Spirit characters?

Matthew was attracted by this word, remembering that when he first met Lucifer, he used to call himself in a spiritual language that he could not understand.

What are spiritual scripts?

[Master should have heard of Yanling, right?Lingling is a kind of spiritual writing, which is composed of glyphs and syllables.Ancient civilizations with a long history will create their own spiritual characters, infusing ancient wisdom and magic into the characters, and all of them are hieroglyphs. 】

So the simplification of the text is actually the weakening and stripping of the power of the gods contained in the text?

【Yes. 】

The system answered Matthew's question with a rare positive tone.

That being the case, why didn't I see spirit words in Solomon's book of magic when I used it?

【This...cough cough...】

The system began to pretend to be pitiful, trying to get away with it.

Fortunately, Matthew now has Imerton as a servant, and the system is no longer the only source of information for him to explore mysterious and unknown areas.

Since the system does not answer——

Matthew simply stopped asking, and stood quietly beside Imerton, watching him cast ancient Egyptian magic to lift part of the curse sealed in the creation energy fragments disguised as black crystal crystals.

……

The power of a magician usually increases gradually over time. Imerton has lived for thousands of years, and his magic power has long been comparable to that of a god, and he can even ignore a god like Loki.

Naturally, it would be easy for him to remove the curse on the crystal surface.

After more than 20 minutes, Imerton, whose whole body was surrounded by spiritual scripts, opened his eyes and said to Matthew, "Master, the curse on the surface of the crystal has been partially lifted."

As he spoke, he returned the crystal crystal that had turned golden after lifting part of the curse to Matthew.

Matthew held the crystal and felt the warmth of the sun from the crystal: "The female magician who broke the curse, do you have anyone to recommend?"

"I'm very sorry, master, I can't—"

"this is not your fault."

Matthew turned around, followed by Imerton, and returned to Wonder Woman's tent: "Hey, Diana."

"what's up?"

Wonder Woman stepped out of the tent.

Matthew opened his palm: "The curse on the crystal surface has been partially lifted."

"Partially relieved? Wouldn't that be—"

"Another part of the curse requires a sorceress to pair with a colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti."

Matthew needs Wonder Woman's help in loaning out the all-important colored statue of Queen Nefertiti from the museum, so it is deliberately indicated that the colored statue is necessary to lift the curse.

"why?"

Wonder Woman looked at Imerton.

Although Imerton didn't know why Matthew said that, but now he obeyed Matthew and naturally wanted to defend Matthew: "Nefertiti and her husband Akhenaten jointly imposed a curse seal on the crystal chip."

"I see."

Wonder Woman doesn't have a deep understanding of the history of ancient Egypt, and Imerton's explanation involves the ancient Egyptian royal family, so she can only accept it in its entirety.

"For a female magician, Mrs. Shangdu may be a good choice. Of course, Zatanna is the best choice in my heart. Unfortunately, she—"

Before the words fell, Zatanna, the first magician of the Justice League, appeared in front of Wonder Woman and Matthew: "Diana! Matthew!"

As soon as Zatanna came out, she warmly embraced Wonder Woman and Matthew, shook hands with Thor, and praised Thor for his strong and beautiful muscles.

But when Loki approached her, the sorcerer mercilessly refused.

"Mr. Rocky, I don't want to be misunderstood that we are friends."

"Miss Zatanna, you—"

"Honestly, I hate you."

After rejecting Loki, Zatanna returned to Matthew and looked at Imerton behind Matthew: "This powerful magician is—"

"I'm Emerton, from the No.13 dynasty, and I'm Mr. Matthew's servant now."

Imerton introduced himself to Zatanna: "Miss Zatanna, I can feel the powerful magic power flowing in your veins. You have extraordinary potential in the field of magic."

"Thank you for your praise, Master Imerton from the No.13 Dynasty."

Zatanna answered Imerton respectfully.

She felt Imerton's magic as vast as a boundless desert.

"you……"

Imerton looked at Zatanna with a little arrogance.

His bowing down to Matthew does not mean that he, who grew up in a slave society, will regard Zatanna, who is far inferior to him, as someone who can talk to him on an equal footing.

Although he recognized Zatanna's talent and potential.

"Part of your magic seems to come from ancient Egypt," Imerton said.

"Da Vinci is my ancestor, he learned Masonic magic..." Zatanna explained, "But due to time and personal reasons, the magic books left by the ancestors to future generations are not complete. My magic is only A small half is the inheritance of the ancestors, and the rest depends on one's own speculation and learning."

"Zatana, you are a studious child." Imerton praised absently.

Then he put a hand on Zatanna's shoulder and said, "Want to learn more magic?"

"If you can--"

Zatanna showed a curious look in her eyes.

Imerton smiled and said, "Learning the magic of ancient Egypt has a price."

"Any learning has a price..." Zatanna said, "As long as it is a price I can afford, I am willing to pay it."

"it is good……"

Imerton withdrew his hands, turned around and looked into the distance where the yellow sand was rolling.

Zatanna wanted to study with Emerton, but she came here for Matthew, so she could only hold back her thirst for knowledge and said to Matthew: "When can I read the magic book of your ancestors that you brought back from the early sixteenth century?" ?”

"anytime."

Matthew took out a magic book: "This is the general outline of the magic books I brought back."

"Thank you! Matthew! You are so generous!"

Zatanna was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

Matthew took the opportunity to tell Zatana that Diana found a black crystal in the box storing the head of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Now that the black crystal has been half-cursed by Emerton and turned into a golden crystal, he solemnly emphasized: "We must find a woman who is proficient in ancient Egyptian magic to lift the other half of the curse seal on the crystal surface."

"Since this crystal is very important to you and Diana, I will do my best to learn and master the magic of breaking the curse in the shortest time." Zatana promised earnestly.

Matthew smiled: "There is no need to work too hard."

"It's what I should do," Zatanna said softly.

the other side--

Wonder Woman contacts the Justice League, hoping that Batman and Superman will come forward and help them gain exclusive access to the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti.

"This crystal shows very unusual characteristics after only half of the curse seal is lifted. It is hard to imagine what will happen after the curse seal on its surface is completely lifted."

Diana said, "Maybe it will become a tool for some ambitious people to achieve their ulterior motives."

"Do you want to find out everything about the mysterious crystal while careerists don't know the existence and use of the crystal?" asked Batman, who had just finished another round of scientific research tests on the black box.

Wonder Woman: "Yes..."

Batman thought for a while, and approved of Wonder Woman's precautionary behavior: "You are correct, Diana. But if we want the museum to allow us to get close to a national treasure-level cultural relic, I'm afraid we can't just rely on money."

"That's why I approached you and Clark at the same time." Wonder Woman said, "With Clark as the guarantee, and your money-making ability, there is a high probability that the museum will accept our request."

"This one……"

Superman made a mistake: "Do I have such a big face?"

"Believe me, Clark, you are the embodiment of light and justice in most people's hearts."

Batman praises Superman very naturally.

Wonder Woman also said: "If Superman came forward to guarantee that the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti would not be able to be borrowed, it would prove that there is something wrong with the fact that the crystal chip appeared in the box of the head of Pharaoh Akhenaten."

"Are you worried that what happened this time is that someone deliberately put the black crystal chip in the box, and borrowed the power of the Justice League to lift him from the magic curse on the surface of the crystal chip?" Superman had an upright character, and was quite surprised after hearing what Wonder Woman said. asked.

Wonder Woman nodded.

Batman said very firmly: "This is what I am worried about."

"You all--"

"If it wasn't deliberately arranged by someone, how could the black crystal crystal appear in the Egyptian cultural relics box out of thin air? Although the value of the plaster statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten is not as valuable as the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti, it is also precious with an insured price of tens of millions. cultural relics."

Wonder Woman seriously analyzed the cause of the whole incident: "Borrowing the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti from the museum may bring us closer to the truth."

"Then I-"

"Diana!"

Batman interrupts Superman, asking, "That Egyptian called himself Imerton?"

"Yes, he called himself Imerton."

Wonder Woman asked Batman: "Bruce, did you find something?"

"I just want to say that if he is Imerton in the history of ancient Egypt, you have to be on guard against him at all times. Imerton is not some upright and great righteous character. So far, archaeological excavations about him are full of content. Tricks and plots."

As a skeptic, Batman always prepares for the worst.

"I see, I will pay more attention to him." Wonder Woman said.

"And Matthew—"

Batman added: "Although he is our friend, I still want you to focus on him. His abilities and his past are full of mysteries. Once such a person becomes an enemy, it is likely to bring new life to the earth." Annihilation."

"Bruce—"

Superman on the side was a little unhappy.

He said to Batman: "Matthew is a trustworthy friend, trust me."

Batman: "He may be a trustworthy friend now, but no one can guarantee the future! We must always prepare for the worst."

"All right……"

Superman looked at Batman helplessly.

Batman knew that Superman was upset, and comforted him: "I admit that it is very rude to doubt a friend, but for the sake of the earth, we must do this."

"But Matthew looks like—"

"Diana, if you knew there was another Matthew living in Gotham and that this Matthew nearly killed everyone in self-defense at the high school reunion, would you continue to question my decision?"

Batman reiterated: "Matthew is dangerous! Especially now that we haven't found out who he really is!"

"Killing in self-defense cannot be considered a crime..." Wonder Woman argued, "Anyone can commit murder when their lives are threatened. Besides, you have no evidence to prove that Matthew who killed in self-defense in Gotham is the one we know Matthew, isn't he?"

"But the Matthew who appeared in front of us is a devil. This alone is enough for us to doubt his identity and motive."

Batman throws out reasons that Wonder Woman can't refute.

Wonder Woman: "Well, I'll keep an eye on Matthew, but I'll never consider him an enemy until he actively hurts someone else."

"Me too, I trust Matthew."

Superman followed closely to show his attitude.

Batman smiled pretending to be indifferent, ended the three-way communication, and returned to the scientific research personnel of the interstellar laboratory who were being unilaterally mocked by Damian: "Is there any new progress?"

"The situation is more difficult than we expected." Dr. Sisko said helplessly.

At this time, Dr. Banner suddenly received a video message. After watching it, he was very happy and said to Dr. Sisko: "Can you open the zenith of the laboratory? One of my friends, well, it's Tony." ? Stark, he's back home."

"He's coming to the interstellar laboratory?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll just—"

"Wait a moment!"

Luthor interrupted Dr. Sisko and said to Banner: "What is he doing in the Interstellar Laboratory instead of going to the Stark Group to clean up the mess after returning home?"

"Tony's enthusiasm for scientific research is far greater than that of running a company..." Banner said, "After hearing about the black box from me, he has been looking forward to it."

"All right……"

Luther snorted angrily, and said to Sisko: "I will give you a piece of advice, immediately give all the female employees of the Interstellar Laboratory a holiday until Stark drives his mech away. If you don't want the next whole Years have been frequently visited by Stark in the laboratory."

"this--"

"It's too late."

Banner looked up and said regretfully.

Over their heads, Iron Man Tony appeared in his favorite coquette-painted mech.

……

at the same time--

France, near the castle of Amboise.

Aziraphale sat on a bench eating a freshly baked donut: "Crowley—"

"what's up?"

"I thought you'd say no to Matthew, after all you've been trying to stay out of trouble as much as possible."

"Matthew is our friend, isn't he?"

Crowley glanced slyly at the talented young Michael who was jogging on the boulevard not far away, and the focus of his eyes was the demon mark left on Michael by Matthew: "I have to say, as a demon, Matthew's god Both the score and the ability—"

"very special?"

"His situation has long been not particularly generalizable..." Crowley said, "I even suspect that he is not a demon at all."

"Not a demon?"

Aziraphale was surprised: "He smells like sulfur, and his behavior is very standard—"

"A creature that looks like a devil may not necessarily be a devil, let alone whether it is a creature is still unknown."

Crowley reached out and took a donut from Aziraphale, and said while eating, "It's not the first day we know the First Fallen, Lucifer, and Belial. 6000 years is enough time We can see their true nature clearly, at least, the First Fallen and Belial can see clearly."

/>

"Crowley, what do you want to say?"

Aziraphale sensed the overtones, and his face suddenly became serious.

"I want to say—don't you think the attitude of the First Fallen and Belial to Matthew is abnormal?" Crowley said, "Belyl's side may also explain it because of Lucifer, but the first fall The Fallen-"

Speaking of this, he stopped and sneered three times: "This guy was once so arrogant that he competed with Lucifer for the control of hell. Although he was weak and had to be inferior to Lucifer, he immediately made a comeback after Lucifer left hell. With his character and identity, there is absolutely no need to be so gentle and courteous to Matthew."

"Maybe it's love? After all, the Fallen's feelings for John Constantine—"

"What kind of bullshit feelings can the first fall have? It's just an unobtainable possessive desire."

Crowley was blunt: "The First Fallen may be a double because he can't get John Constantine, but he can't be as compliant to the double because Matthew is John Constantine's double. That good boy.

Don’t forget, in order to threaten John Constantine, the first fallen once threw the old Constantine into purgatory for torture, and drove the soul of John’s twin brother who had no chance to make a sound, and then sent him back to the world to pretend to be John and do all kinds of crazy things. The matter was planted on John. "

"According to your analysis, the attitude of the first fallen towards Matthew is indeed abnormally gentle."

Aziraphale looked at Crowley in bewilderment: "But even with all the unusual things about Matthew, you don't have the audacity to say he might not even be a demon, do you?"

"Bold guessing, careful verification, human's favorite way of reasoning."

Crowley smirked, finished the donuts in three bites, and walked towards the jogging Michael: "Hey, Michael, remember me?"

"You are--"

Michael stopped jogging and looked up at Crowley. The moment his eyes met, his body trembled involuntarily.

"It's you! It's you!"

Michael trembled with fear.

Crowley faithfully fulfilled his promise to Matthew: he hallucinated Michael into thinking he was the demon who had branded him.

……

Most of Egypt has a tropical desert climate, which is hot and dry. As soon as the sun comes out in the morning, the temperature rises slowly. The archaeological team can only work out of the tent in the evening, and enter the tent to rest after the sun rises.

Yet Imerton needs no rest.

At noon, the surface temperature of the desert exceeded [-]. He stood barefoot on the hot sand, praying devoutly to the sun god, without a drop of sweat on his body.

"Is he really human?"

Under the shade, Wonder Woman couldn't help asking.

"He has lived for thousands of years, so he is not theoretically a human being," Zatanna said.

She has been studying and studying Da Vinci's magic book that Matthew gave her all night for the past two days, absorbing the knowledge of ancient Egyptian magic.

Wonder Woman didn't have Zatana's filter for Emerton. After listening to Zatana's words, she smoothed her hair and said, "Maybe..."

"perhaps?"

Zatanna saw Wonder Woman's ambiguous attitude and asked, "Diana, do you have something to hide from me and Matthew?"

"I--"

"We're friends."

"All right……"

Wonder Woman sighed, and told Zatanna that Batman not only suspected Imerton but also Matthew: "No matter how we explain it, he always believes that they will become enemies of the Justice League and threaten the earth."

"Bruce has always been like this, you don't have to worry about it..." Zatanna said, "In fact, he still doesn't trust John."

"Okay, but I still think the suspicious companion is—"

"He's just too cautious."

Zatanna has good words for Batman.

"but--"

Wonder Woman glanced at the tent opposite.

Matthew sat in the shade of the tent studying magic books brought back from the early sixteenth century.

"Maybe we should have a good talk with Matthew."

……

"Matthew—"

Zatana walked up to Matthew and sat down cross-legged: "Do you have time now?"

"Have any magical matters to discuss with me?"

Zatanna nodded: "There are indeed some issues in the field of magic that I would like to discuss with you in detail."

"If you have any questions, please tell me."

Matthew put down Da Vinci's magic book.

"I……"

Zatana pondered for a while, and asked directly: "Matthew, have you done any research on the question of 'Who am I'?"

"Are you asking 'Who am I' in the field of philosophy or—"

"Both are fine."

Zatanna was a little embarrassed.

After all, she is trying to dig into the privacy of her best friend who absolutely trusts her.

"I'd like to know what you think about who I am, whether it's a philosophical 'who I' or a physical 'who I'. After all we all know you're not like normal people, even— Whether you are human or not is still unknown."
