The door to the mystery house was pushed open.Zatana, holding the parchment in her hand, walked out of the door in a trance.She looked back and saw that the mysterious Mr.
Raven was standing in the doorway, and Xuanlan was standing beside him, they were looking at her, as if they were blessing, and as if they were persuading.The door slowly closed, and after a few seconds, calm returned to her surroundings."
Miss Zatanna, the show is about to start?
Have you put on your makeup?
”Outside her dressing room, a gentle, anxious woman's voice echoed, it was Zatanna's magic assistant, a smart and studious young girl.Zatana adjusted her expression, then opened the door and said in a weak voice to her equally beautiful assistant, "Judy, I'm a little uncomfortable, and I may not be able to perform on stage." ”"What can I do?"
Judy looked at Zatanna's pale face, and she realized that this excellent magician was not lying, and she might really be sick.But the theater is already full of audiences, the show is about to begin, and as the most famous magician of this stage magic troupe, if Zatana does not appear, then the audience will be disappointed."
You can perform in my place, Judy."
Zatana said to the assistant in front of her: "You have been learning from me for several years, you have basically learned my magic, I know, you have been looking forward to a chance to perform, tonight, this is your chance." ”"I...
I can't, Miss Zatana. ”Judy was a little surprised, a look of inferiority in her eyes, she said, "I'm not as skilled as you, and everyone doesn't know me, I'm going to mess up, and everyone is here to see you." ”"Use this."
Zatanna walked into the dressing room with Judy, she took out a thin, plastic-like mask from a drawer, and said to Judy, "Take this, you are me." ”Judy put the mask on her face in confusion, Zatanna picked up a makeup pen, quickly applied it to the mask, and after a while, in the mirror, two Zatanna, one tall and one short, appeared.The faces of the two were almost identical, only slightly different, but on the stage, at such a distance, no one could tell such a flaw."
This—" Judy touched her face with some surprise, she looked back at Zatana, who whispered to her, "It's a magician's method...
Go ahead, the audience is staring at Miss Zatanna, go change into my clothes, don't be afraid, Judy, your body is perfect, those men don't care about that, they will cheer for you, they will be enchanted for you, you will be the next me...""
Go ahead and take your chance!"
Zatanna winked at the little girl, then pushed her out of her room.She wasn't worried at all that her assistant would mess up the magic show, because she didn't need to make money from acting.
A descendant of Finch, she has not been short of money since she was a child, and she has no concept of money at all.Even this stage magic troupe was only formed for her own interests when she had nothing to do.Yes, she is the boss, she can do whatever she wants, and she can do whatever she wants.Tonight, Zatanna had more important things to do than a performance full of cheers.Miss Magician sat down at the dressing table, and with a very deliberate gesture, she placed the parchment in her hand on the table.As the heir of an ancient wizarding family, she had heard of the name of the Dark Book, and she knew that it was a legendary artifact that could answer any question in the world to anyone who asked questions.But as Mr.
Merlin said, every question, every piece of knowledge, comes at a price.Lord Raven gave her the parchment and let her hold it for a month in return for his occupation of the Mystery House, which seemed reasonable to Zatanna.It's a shame to lose ownership of the Mystery House, but she's got what she needs most...
Wish."
I didn't expect His Excellency Raven to even have such a strange thing as the pages of the Dark God Book..."
Zatanna picked up a quill, she couldn't help but think: "It seems that his identity is really not ordinary, and he also knows that Da.
The matter of Vinci's ancestors has been recognized by the arrogant Xuanlan...
Perhaps, he is also an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years..."
At the moment of writing, Zatanna's movements hesitated.But the next moment, the figure of her father appeared in her mind, and that kind of dedication to finding relatives made Zatanna grit her teeth and write a sentence on the parchment."
Tell me, where is my father?"
Zatanna's handwriting was as beautiful as her appearance, and the lines faded quickly on the parchment, as if they had been erased, and soon an answer appeared before her eyes."
Give or give back?"
This answer did not surprise Zatana, who had told her the meaning of the words when she got the pages of the Dark Book.A mission that cannot be refused, or a choice akin to a sacrifice.This is very much in line with the characteristics of magical artifacts like the Dark Book, so Zatanna didn't hesitate, and under the light, she quickly wrote, "Please tell me what it takes?"
What do you need to give back?
”Two sentences quickly appeared on the parchment: "Master the magic of rhetoric in 2 years." ”"Hand over your 10 years of youth" "Irony magic..."
Zatana directly ignored the latter sentence, as a beautiful lady who cares about her own image, it is impossible for her to give up her precious youth.But this task given by the Dark God Book is also very difficult.Rhetorical magic, which is a rather unpopular and obscure way of casting spells in occult magic.As you can see from the name, this method of casting spells is to pronounce a spell from beginning to end, not only the syllables of the spell, but also the construction of the mana model, etc., all of which must be completely reversed from the orthodox casting method.It's hard to master, but once mastered, the spell cast through the Rhetorical Magic can become quite strange and unguarded for enemies.However, Zatanna's first foray into the occult, to master the magic of irony within 2 years, means that she has to work overtime to study, and the time is very tight, but with Zatanna's talent, it is not impossible to complete.So, after hesitating for a moment, Zatanna picked up the pen and drew a circle on the first sentence.The next moment, a cold energy passed along the tip of the pen into Zatana's arm, forming an invisible closed loop of magic at her elbow, which was a sign that the contract was established, if she could complete the study of anti-language magic within 2 years, this magic lock would dissipate, and if she broke the contract, then the magic lock would be completely locked, so that Zatanna's right arm could no longer be passed by magic power, could not condense the magic seal, and could not construct a mana model.This is equivalent to nullifying almost half of Zatana's casting ability.The cost of default is terrible.After the agreement was completed, the answer that Zatana needed quickly appeared on the parchment."
Gwani.
John.
Three years and seven months ago, Zatara teleported himself to another dimension through a teleportation ritual found in ancient texts. ”"This is the place where the curse of the Zatara family blood originated, and he tried to find the spirit that sent the curse there, so as to unlock the curse of the family and give his favorite daughter true freedom.""
But he failed, and he underestimated the opponent he was up against.""
His soul and body were trapped in that dimension, trapped in time and space, and he would never see his daughter again...
It's pathetic...""
The Dark Book guessed that Miss Zatanna would be desperate to find her father, but the Dark Book advised the reckless Miss Zatanna not to do so.""
The place where Miss Zatanna's father was trapped is called the 'Sea of Lights', and it is not a realm that mortals can set foot in.The characters on the pages of the Dark Book appear and disappear quickly.It gave Zatanna a specific message, without the slightest reservation, but it also left a serious admonition in a strange tone."
The sea of light..."
Zatana quickly pulled out her notebook and jotted down the strange address information.It was the first time in more than three years that she knew her father's whereabouts so clearly, and the Dark Book told her that the reason why her father was taking risks was to win her true freedom.This made Zatanna's heart very uncomfortable.She didn't hesitate too much, the Dark Book had already demonstrated her ability to know almost everything but herself, and Zatanna saw hope, she picked up the pen and wrote again: "How can I save my father?"
”This time, the parchment gave a very simple answer."
Can't do it!""
Relying on Miss Zatanna's current ability, she can't even sense the dimensional fluctuations of the Void Sea.""
But perhaps, Mr.
Merlin, at some point in the future, can help Miss Zatanna rescue her father...
But the question is, what does Miss Zatanna have to pay for this?

”Seeing this answer, Zatanna was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously wrote again: "What do I need to pay for Mr.
Merlin to help me save my father in the future?"
”"Hehe" a sentence quickly appeared on the parchment that made Zatana's face red-faced."
To be his wife...
Or maybe it's a lover. ”"It's...
It's so nasty!
”No matter how strong Zatanna's psychological quality is, it can't change the reality that she is only a young woman in her 20s, except for the time when she was deceived by Zakang, she has a fiancé chosen by her family before.The other party is also the inheritor of a very famous magic family in Europe, but unfortunately on the day of marriage, her fiancé died in an accident.It was that incident that made her father determined to break the curse in the family bloodline.In other words, she hasn't really been in a relationship in a complete way.Zatanna wrote quickly on the parchment, "Why is this a request?
Why do you care so much about Mr.
Merlin's private life?
”"Because 'they' don't want to see him continue to be alone."
An answer emerged on the parchment.Zatanna writes: "Who are 'they'?
”"Guess?"
The answer on the parchment finally appeared that Merlin hated.Zatanna's eyes widened as she felt like she had been tricked by a piece of paper, but she couldn't retaliate yet.Miss Magician threw down her pen, she stood up, and walked around the room a few times with some irritation, and after a moment she returned to her seat, picked up the pen, and wrote earnestly: "Please tell me, my ancestors.
Lord Finch, how did you get the attention of that spirit?
Who is that spirit?
”"These are two questions!"
A phrase appeared on the parchment: "It takes two parts to give and to give back." ”"Tell me!"
Zatanna gritted her teeth and wrote her reply: "I will do it." ”The words appeared in front of Zatanna's eyes."
In 1 year, completed three times and Merlin.
Riley's nighttime solitude must not involve a third person, and he must be alone for no less than 8 hours. ”"In 1 year, finish once and Merlin.
Riley's in-depth communication can be both spiritual and physical. ”"This—" Zatana felt her ears heat at the base of her ears, and she couldn't look directly at the two requests that the nasty pages had given her, and she asked, "Why?"
Why do I have to do this?
Can't you just change the requirements?
Oh my God, I don't know him yet, what do you think of me?
Prostitute.
Female?
”"Because 'they' want to see it."
The parchment emerged with the answer: "Because only Merlin can help you, your fates are already intertwined the moment you write your question."
No one belittles you, Zatana, 'he' likes you very much, so the choice is always in your hands. ”"You can be the protagonist, or you can say no.""
But remember...""
Free choice, only once!"
An hour after this sentence, the answer that Zatanna needed appeared in front of her, this time the Dark Book did not force Zatanna to enter into a contract, which was not even Merlin's treatment."
Reach.
Finch and his companions tried to study the mystery of eternal life, and they succeeded, they broke the rules and attracted the attention of the spirit, which was both punishment and opportunity.But it never wanted to hurt anyone, all it craved was an answer, an answer to the meaning of its existence. ”"It's been looking for Da in time.
Finch's Spirit...""
It's called...""
Giant beast."
The moment the answer to "boom" appeared, a terrifying roar sounded in Zatanna's head, and that terrifying power swept through Zatana's will in an instant, crushing her strong will, and leaving the beautiful magician unconscious without resistance.Blood, blood flowed from her nostrils, ears, eyes, mouth, and all her magic collapsed under the gaze of that consciousness.It was like a terrifying will evaluation, and Zatanna failed in this will evaluation.All this simply because she knew the name of the Spirit."
Alas..."
A long sigh sounded beside the unconscious Zatanna, and the housekeeper Xuanlan quietly appeared beside Zatanna, she bent down and picked up the unconscious girl, and a door appeared behind her."
I warned you...
I warned your father too. ”Xuanlan walked into the door, and she whispered, "You guys, why are you so persistent...""
The indescribable great darkness..."
