Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 201 The Murderous Pit

Jason saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walking straight towards them.

For some reason, Jason felt a strange feeling well up in his heart just by seeing this man's face and clothing.

'At first glance, he looks like an unlucky and lucky poor guy. He happened to pick up some rubbish magic items, so he thought he was smug and got into the magic world. Such a guy can't get even a little bit of profit out of him. '

In just a moment, Jason's mind was filled with the stereotype of this ordinary man.

He looked at Terry, who was still playing with the half-drunk glass of wine, and quietly reached behind his back with one hand to hold a dagger.

"Do you need me to drive him away? At first glance, he looks like a guy who wants to beg."

"No, it's him I'm waiting for. Don't show any more weirdness on your face. It's good to keep your current mood."

Jason blinked, then pulled out the dagger and nailed it to the table with a clang.

Although he was only a half-year-old child, he acted so ferociously that Constantine couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he still kept his smile and continued to move forward after a short pause.

"Hahaha, he's a little guy with personality, but it seems to me that he doesn't have any magical talent?"

Terry pursed his lips, his expression obviously full of 'distrust' of Constantine, and looked at him with a little doubt.

"Shh~"

Terry put down his wine glass, his eyes finally met Constantine's narrowed eyes, and a faint hum came from his nose.

"Dude, good taste."

Terry played with the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Constantine with a look of disdain in his eyes.

Constantine shamelessly grabbed an unoccupied chair, shared a table with Terry and Jason, and then smiled as harmlessly as possible.

"I wonder if you are interested in things like magic secrets?"

Constantine made a silent gesture and looked around with a sly look.

"of course."

"This has nothing to do with you."

"A mage who can walk with his apprentice, you must be very capable, but now that life is so difficult, the magic consumables required to train an apprentice are not a small sum of money."

"You want to find someone to cooperate? But why not find those local mages but me?"

"Oriental mage? This is rare in Gotham. Is this the apprentice you adopted?"

"What are you doing?"

Jason glared at Constantine. He had a somewhat extreme reaction to the word adoption, but it seemed that due to Terry's presence, there were no extra words except obvious disgust and disgust.

"The mages here are just like the garbage in Gotham City. If they hear it, we may not even be able to get out of this place later."

Constantine's disguise at the moment is a middle-aged bastard who is considered poor even in the magical world and has achieved nothing, and likes to take advantage of opportunities. Therefore, he is also rubbing his hands with superb acting skills and looking at the drink in Terry's hand, it almost flows from the corner of his mouth. Somewhat annoying.

"Oh? Do you have news about the magic secret?"

Constantine raised his hands. Seeing that he couldn't start from Jason, he could only choose to skip this topic.

Constantine licked the corners of his mouth, moved his head slightly closer, and showed a mysterious expression.

Constantine looked angry and gritted his teeth.

"Needless to say, those locals are just a bunch of jackals who can't be trusted at all. You have also seen how embarrassed I am. It's a pity that I have just entered the magic world for only a month, and those rats in the gutter are smelling They came here and robbed all my property, how could I dare to talk about cooperation with those guys?"

Terry touched the wine glass and was silent for a while, then suddenly showed a smile that he thought had seen everything.

"I guess you were accosted by such a seemingly harmless guy at the time, and you had some idea of ​​taking advantage of him. In the end, you lost all your money in the trap, right?"

"Smart Oriental, you are of Chinese descent?"

When Constantine saw that he was "pierced", he immediately showed another face. He stretched out his hand and removed one layer of the disguise magic in the direction of Terry and Jason. This time, what appeared was the appearance of a somewhat shrewd middle-aged ordinary mage, wrapped in a black mage robe and wearing rings inlaid with various colored gemstones on his ten fingers.

Yes, the identity revealed by Constantine is still false.

This guy can be regarded as a veteran among swindlers. Ever since he saw Terry's Chinese face, he has been thinking about a bunch of tricks in his heart that are specifically targeted at the more savvy people.

Terry also showed a slightly arrogant expression at the right time, which made Constantine feel that he might have relaxed his guard because he had seen through everything.

This kind of deception is not particularly clever. Although 90% of people will fall for it under the influence of the serial trap, Terry has also been learning this trick since he was a child.

"Since I'm a smart person, I'll get straight to the point."

Constantine gave a timely compliment, neither too light nor too serious, clasping his hands together and raising his chin.

"You, a foreign mage, must have suddenly appeared on this occasion, and you must have been attracted by the legendary underground labyrinth incident, right?"

Terry lowered his eyelids so that Constantine couldn't see his eyes clearly.

Constantine didn't care either. So far, all Terry's reactions were within his expectations.

"Those mortals and weak mages drilled underground one after another, intending to get something out of this incident, but in the end they never returned, but at least they used their lives to provide some useful information."

At this point, Constantine paused deliberately and stared at Terry's face for a long time before continuing to speak.

"It is said that a group of evil creatures that have never been seen before have appeared in the underground of this city. These ownerless creatures are supposed to provide some novel magic materials for mages. I just happened to find the entrance to a maze. I wonder if you are interested in cooperation."

Jason, who was unaware, looked at Terry in confusion, and Terry slowly raised his glass and took a sip.

I don't know if it was Jason's misunderstanding, but he suddenly felt that at the moment when Terry was drinking, the atmosphere in the entire castle hall became strangely quiet.

"Okay."

Terry put down the wine glass and spit out an answer that Constantine didn't expect at all.

"It's just that I have to decide the time. I've been very busy recently, and I still need to settle down this little guy with a low magic talent. After all, we are just outsiders who have just arrived - the time is set in a month, how about it? "

Constantine stood up and looked at the calm Terry suspiciously. After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows.

"When did I reveal my secret?"

As Constantine said these words, all the guests in the entire castle stopped moving, and the shadows on the stone floor reflected by the candlelight hanging high on the ceiling began to distort one by one.

After a while, a group of different-looking monsters and monsters surrounded Terry.

One of the goat-horned demons had blazing flames in his eyes and asked Constantine angrily.

"You promise to help us find an insider who knows about the strange events underground, but he knows nothing at all. You are deceiving us!"

"You damn idiot! He is definitely an insider, but he just saw through the poor acting skills of you bastards!"

Constantine stopped pretending, revealing his true self in a yellow windbreaker, and casually spit out the butt of the cigarette that smelled of burning.

The demons immediately turned their attention to Terry, who was still sitting calmly on the chair. Their minds were not as flexible as humans, so they were just confused.

Only then did Jason start to tremble.

Jason, who is also a native of Gotham, finally understood in his mind that Constantine had never had the idea of ​​​​cooperating with them from the beginning. He was just testing whether Terry was really related to the underground incident. Terry has shown an attitude of not being interested in the so-called underground 'secret treasure', which can prove that Terry has more than just magic red ore (scarlet ore) that can be exchanged for wine.

At that time, Constantine would immediately wave his hand and let the demons he had communicated with before swarm up and tear Terry and Jason apart or control them.

At this time, Terry drank the wine in the glass leisurely, and then patted Jason's head to comfort him.

"This is Constantine. As long as you stay in Gotham in the future, you will inevitably run into him again. You have to remember that from the moment this guy appears in front of you, you have to be careful everywhere around you. A trap that can kill you at any time."

Constantine watched with uncertainty as Terry regarded him as a character teaching material. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with his backhand, poured one out and threw it into his mouth.

"Why, there are professional strategy manuals about me out there now?"
