Chapter 555: The Origin of Magic
Chapter 555
Circus is a classic representative of the last century. But as time goes by, it is gradually declining. In fact, circus has become very rare at this time. There are only scattered circus performances in some towns.
The popularity of television has greatly satisfied people's visual entertainment. People who are willing to spend money to go to the circus are rapidly decreasing. Moreover, the circus displays of strange and magical things that were shown in the last century were just like that in modern people.
In a town around Gotham, a circus is running half-deadly.
This is the sixth town they toured. The first five can barely maintain balance of income and expenditure. However, the sixth one is completely unable to make ends meet.
Most circus members are drowsy. It’s not that they don’t want to move, but that they can maintain their strength. Because they only have one meal a day now.
Of course, Su Yuan probably also has to do with the composition of the circus. The owner of the circus is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She is wearing a purple-black suit and uniform, and a short leather skirt with her thighs exposed. She has two long legs wrapped in black stockings and black high-heeled leather boots on her feet.
However, this typical dress with dusty looks does not feel charming when worn by the girl. On the contrary, it has a quirky feeling.
Her name is Zatana Zatala, and she is the owner of this circus.
Originally, this kind of dress would definitely attract customers. However, except for this girl, the rest of the entire circus were all bearded tomboys, crocodile people who were covered in scales, which could scare children to cry. They had a weird temper, only fifty-centimeter dwarfs, and clowns who could tell less than three jokes.
The remaining group of disabled people, lame, mute, and blind, were all kinds of. They didn't look like circuses, but they looked more like deformed refugee camps. Even the monkeys and tigers in the cage behind them looked weak and had no temperament as wild beasts.
There is no doubt that the little girl is definitely a kind-hearted boss. Unfortunately, disabled people and crocodile people are not the same type of people. They will not bring benefits to the circus. In order to support these burdens, her circus has no longer made ends meet.
In this state, Su Yuan and Diana walked into the circus.
The little girl who was dozing off suddenly jumped off the stage.
"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone gets up. Some customers are coming." The little girl screamed, and shouted the sleepy employee.
"Welcome." As the boss, she came forward to greet the guests in person. "We have magic shows, beast taming, strongmen, crocodile man..." After a very fast speech, she quickly brought the two to the seats, and then started the performance without asking Su Yuan and Diana what they were watching.
"Is she a magician?" Although Diana is a magic idiot, she is also a god of war, so she can naturally feel the huge magic power of the little girl Zatana.
"Yes, and it's not an ordinary magician. Their family is the closest lineage in this world to the origin of magic."
"You said before that you owe someone a favor, it's about her?"
"It's almost the same. When I exiled the troublemaker, I used the antonym magic. It was a twisted use. The troublemaker read out his anti-name. Although I have also studied this kind of magic, I can't do this at all. The God of the Witch helped me."
"I don't remember this god?" In Diana's memory, there was no such god among the major gods.
"That's of course. This name is the most taboo thing for the major gods. Because the original origin of the gods in this world actually comes from her.
After the birth of the witch god Hecate, she felt another dark force born at the same time as her, the Hanging Man. In order to avoid the peeping of the Hanging Man, she came to the earth and brought the original magic. It was the initial magic close to the origin. The earthlings who mastered those magic were the first gods in this world."
Speaking of this, Diana has already had some guesses.
"Let me guess, those gods have betrayed their creators?"
"As right, this is almost a necessity. Hecate is an origin creature and will never understand the greed and darkness of humans and even gods. The more generous she satisfies her believers, the stronger the greed of the gods for her. In the end, they sealed her and tried to seize her power.
However, the difference in person failed the betrayers. But Hecate did not gain freedom. The betrayal of believers, coupled with her lover Hades, also betrayed her. This made her lose in hatred.
She forcibly penetrated the barrier that she had set up to defend against the Hanging Man. She introduced a trace of dark magic of the Hanging Man. This dark magic is actually the origin of most magic on the earth in later generations."
"Since she has fallen, how did you communicate with her?"
"What I traded with is the last kindness in her consciousness. She has a lineage on earth. It is the little girl in front of her. After the dark magic entered this world, those betrayers peeked at this dark magic again.
However, the dark magic power is far less easy to master than Hecate's magic power. So they collected the original dark origin magic power and created a helmet called the Helmet of Destiny. Later, the dark magic power dissipated and declined, and began to be mastered by some people. These people gradually replaced Hecate's original inheritance and evolved into countless magic schools."
"What's the point of doing this? She is not a god in the traditional sense. Whether it's forgotten or offered by countless believers, it doesn't mean that she has never left the seal."
"It's really meaningless. But she's still going to do something. Her dark side seems to have found a way to break through the seal. Once she succeeds, she will completely retract the barrier set up in the past, introduce the hanged man, and destroy this world that once betrayed her."
Diana fell into silence after hearing this.
"I understand, her kind side is to find a inheritor to stop all this. It's this little girl." Diana's eyes had an indescribable meaning.
"Did you feel it? Whether it is life or magic, the older it is, the purer it is. The earliest magic can distort reality in just one word and destroy the world. The earliest life has only love and hate in the heart.
Let’s look at the present, the complexity of human nature has created the progress and diversity of the world. But what else has it brought? Greed, depravity, destruction…”
