Being ridiculed by Harley, old Shazam not only did not feel ashamed, but instead straightened his face and said in a lecturing tone: "I was about to say something to you, what are you doing?
A junior disrupts the 'magic loan market' when he first arrives and lowers the interest rate so low. How will the seniors deal with it?"
Harley said calmly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Old Shazam subconsciously wanted to say something harsh to her, but as soon as he met her eyes, his heart trembled uncontrollably: Fak, triggered the crisis sense?! How is it possible that I am not her opponent?
Old Shazam was in a state of confusion. He had scolded her loudly before, but he didn't have any sense of crisis at that time.
——Has her strength grown again, or has she become stronger?
Well, if she treats him kindly, even if she is stronger than him, he will not trigger the crisis sense.
"How dare I teach you how to do things? You are so awesome. Not even Darkseid can offend you."
At least half of what Old Shazam said was sincere.
Then he advised tactfully: "It's just that now that you have become a spiritual wizard and stepped into this circle, you'd better act according to the rules of the circle.
I have been staying in the Eternal Castle and don’t know much about mobile phones, but I can know immediately that you disclosed the ‘conditions for God’s Favored One’ to superheroes through your mobile phone.
Why?
The superheroes didn't react at all. They didn't know how deep the water was in the God's Favorite, but the gods were very sensitive.
As soon as the news was released, the circle of gods exploded. It was spread to ten people and hundreds of people. Even I knew about it.
If you are secretive and don't disclose information, everyone can tolerate it. But if you do it now, in the future, if gods seek mortals to be their favored ones, then those favored by gods will ask, 'How much does it cost?'... You let him
How do they answer?"
Harley raised her middle finger and said: "No matter who asks you about my attitude towards him or my attitude towards the circle of gods, you should tell them that I raised my middle finger and said 'Fake Squid'."
Old Shazam was stunned, Witch Harley is indeed a madman!
"Why? What's wrong with everyone living together in peace, discussing magic together, and pursuing the truth? It's extremely difficult for a person to walk alone on the road of magic even if he is not treated as an enemy and retaliates." He asked with difficulty.
Harley pointed at herself with her thumb, "I only make friends with two kinds of people. One kind doesn't care about their strength, just their character catches my eye; the other kind has the highest starting point and is worthy of my favor.
It’s just a bunch of miscellaneous gods who can’t even figure out the price of magic power, yet they dare to pretend to be ‘seniors’ in front of me, I’m going to eat shit~~”
"You are too arrogant." Old Shazam was so angry that his beard was trembling.
"I always talk like this in front of Darkseid. If anyone is not convinced, slap Darkseid twice before talking to me." Harley raised her chin slightly, with arrogance and contempt written directly on her face.
Slap Darkseid?
Most gods don't even dare to offend Darkseid's dark elite.
Old Shazam felt aggrieved and helpless, "You are amazing, you are noble, and none of us can reach you."
Harry slowed down his tone and said with a smile: "Old wizard, don't belittle yourself. You are different from them. I have always regarded you as a friend."
"Do you think I'm a friend?"
"Of course, we have known each other since we were young and have been friends for many years. You are also a very talented person and an excellent mentor." Harley's tone was sincere and her eyes were sincere.
——Although this old guy has poor abilities, bad character, and a bad temper, his Shazam spell is really useful!
It is worthy of the singularity spell. When Neptune uses her divine power in the river of time, she can also receive experience points and sense weak battle information.
The Time Demon trapped her cheap apprentice in the end of time to study divine power for "hundreds of years", and she also felt something about it.
Moreover, the Shazam Curse can really protect her magical power from being stolen by outsiders. Analysis - The Time Demon wanted to steal it, but he couldn't steal her magical power at all. He could only use the Karate Kid as a guinea pig to study her magical power.
After being restrained by physical attacks, the Karate Kid was thrown back to the 21st century, creating the illusion that he had just wandered here from the 31st century.
Therefore, she can despise the gods, but she cannot directly disgrace the old wizard.
Not only should he not lose face, but he should also continue to deepen his relationship with him and learn more secrets of Shazam's curse.
Old Shazam didn't know what she was thinking. After he was stunned for a moment, his face quickly became red and bloodshot, and he felt inexplicably excited.
A few years ago, he would have felt that Harley was not worthy of being friends with him. Even as her senior, he would have raised his eyes to the sky and his nostrils would just "hum"; before today, he would have felt uncomfortable with being Harley's friend.
I don't take it seriously and don't feel there is any honor in it.
Now he strangely feels proud, grateful, touched and other complex emotions.
Uh, the old man was pua.
"Sigh, you won't gain much by severing yourself from the circle of gods. On the contrary, you will lose a lot. Besides, I advise you to raise the threshold for borrowing divine power. The rate of return will be higher, and you will get more benefits, right?"
Now when he tried to persuade Harry, his tone was much kinder and gentler.
"Sometimes it is safer to be hated than to be liked." Harley lamented: "You will never take someone who hates you lightly, but it is easy to be backstabbed and betrayed by someone who pretends to like you."
Old Shazam was stunned when he heard this. The words made sense, but it felt weird coming from her mouth.
"Throughout your life, it seems that you have been stabbing others in the back and have never been betrayed by anyone."
How can a witch who has always harmed others have the right to express such emotions?
Harley's expression remained unchanged, "Every time I cheat someone, I assume the other person's identity. How heartbroken, angry, and regretful he is. I can also feel the same pain and resentment."
The muscles on Shazam's old face are twitching. No wonder you feel this way. Just because you have done so many bad things, if you take it in every time... you are not crazy now, and you can still speak normally. It is so rare.
"How many favored ones have you chosen now?" he asked.
"There is only one Wonder Woman." She remembered her promise to Neptune. First, she would hide the "Hallelujah" thing from him; secondly, he was not her favored one, and the divine power she gave him was compensation for the life connection power.
.
"Do you think my conditions are very low? There are three conditions: talent, knight, and don't stay at home. It's easy to be a knight who often helps people, but it's too difficult to have unparalleled talent. At least two hundred heroes have been tested, and not one of them has passed the test."
"What is the standard for a peerless genius?" Old Shazam asked.
Harry said: "It's the missing person magic you taught me, and I solidified it into a magical skill.
As long as I pray to my idol and form a resonance, the power of faith will activate the 'person-finding magic' to test his qualifications.
Of course, currently only superheroes are qualified to resonate with the statues of gods. There are too many ordinary people, and I don’t have that much faith."
"My searching magic..." Old Shazam struggled: "In fact, as long as you are selected by the searching magic, you can become a favored one."
"Even if he is not selected by the searching magic, I can still give him divine power and make him a favored one, but he is not talented enough and cannot bring enough benefits to me. Why waste a 'skill slot'?"
"No..." Old Shazam became even more confused, "My searching magic... is specially used to select Thunder Shazam.
I can also give the power of thunder to anyone, even if he is a mortal.
But mortals are unable to pay the price.
There is no way to help me bear the magic debt.
The ‘magic superconducting talent’ that can shoulder the magic debt for others may not be found even among 10 billion humans.”
Then he explained: "'Magic superconducting talent' is the proportion of the magic power that can be borne, which can be compared with electrical conductivity.
The one who can bear 100% of the magic debt for us is the superconducting talent.
Doesn't the person-finding magic give each person who is found a grade?
First level, second level, third level...the higher the level, the higher the conductivity, which means the higher the proportion of debts that the gods’ loved ones can bear for the gods.”
Harley was a little dumbfounded, "So, I am also selecting people with the 'magic superconducting talent' now?"
Old Shazam nodded slightly, "I didn't remind you of this before because I thought you were a normal person. But since you are not normal and are willing to give away your divine power for free, there is no need to choose the 'Superconducting Talent'."
"But you also said at the time that person-finding magic can actively find the right person based on the user's divine attributes." Harry said.
"Person-finding magic does not select people based on a single condition. It comprehensively considers the attributes of the selector. It not only adapts to your divine power, but also helps you bear the magic debt, and has other functions..."
"What other functions?" Harley asked curiously.
Old Shazam said seriously: "Since we are not from the same group, naturally I can no longer reveal the contents of my contract to you.
Moreover, starting from today, no matter which one of the gods asks his god - what is your divine power contract, he will say - there are only three points, talent, be a knight, and don't stay at home.
I have no choice, I can't win you over, I can't kill you, I can only get involved with you."
The corners of Harley's mouth twitched, "Isn't this a lie? You are the White Gods, not demons."
"How can this be considered a lie? 'Superconducting talent' is also included in 'talent'." Old Shazan said plausibly.
"too dark."
Old Shazam said unhappily: "You are also a mage yourself, how can you say such layman's words? Don't consider other natural and man-made disasters, just the transformation at the end of your life.
Becoming a god requires at least three transformations.
The chance of each transformation being successful is only one in seven, and with this alone, our mortality rate is as high as 99.71%!
But to become a favored person by the gods, mortals only need to be infused with power, and the risk is zero.
If we don't receive some benefits, if we have to bear the price of magic power, and the gods' favored ones are happy and enjoy the power, but we bear the costs and risks, who would still want to be a god?
They all became favored by God.
We gods and wizards have gone through all kinds of hardships, just to live freely in the world, not to be taken advantage of, but to make silent sacrifices for some lucky boy."
"It's okay to ask for any price from the God's Favorite. The problem is that you can't hide the true terms." Harley said.
Lao Sha admired: "If we tell the truth, do you think those blessed by the gods can accept it rationally?
No, they will only be resentful, and will take our divine power as their own for granted, and think that we are enemies that must be killed, and will try every means to kill us to monopolize the divine power."
Harley sneered: "Why can I openly disclose my divine power contract? In the end, you are too greedy!
If you suck the blood and marrow of God's favored ones and take their lives and souls, of course they will be resentful and rebel."
