Chapter 1673 Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher’s Stone (15)
The next morning, before dawn, Harley was woken up by Barry. She was sleepy and swaying when she walked. Looking at the two very energetic people, she said with some confusion: "How can you two get up so early?"
?”
"We didn't sleep all night."
Harley was even more confused, and then her eyes began to glance back and forth between Barry and Bruce. Bruce pushed Barry aside impatiently, and then said: "We have to go to the greenhouse, have you forgotten? We are going
Check the species of missing plants."
Harley yawned loudly, turned around and went back to change clothes. Not long after, the three of them walked through the large garden full of damp dewdrops in the light of sunrise, and came to the small building next to the greenhouse again.
.
Pamela didn't live here, so she was away all night and morning. The three of them walked in through the front door, and little Bruce didn't find any footprints on the stone surface in the yard.
"Either he was very cautious and deliberately did not step on the soil and waited for the rain at night to wash away the traces on the stone road, or he could simply fly without touching the ground with his feet, otherwise it would be impossible not to leave footprints."
With that said, the three of them bypassed the building and came to the backyard. Little Bruce pointed to the flower stand in the small garden and said: "I clearly remember that the second row here is full of spiral weeds, and the bottom is special-shaped cabbage. Now
There are four or five potted plants missing here."
"There is also a pot of Arada Swamp Mushroom missing here. It is a mushroom that comes from malt and is covered with sticky mucus. The mucus is usually used as a catalyst for healing potions."
Barry looked around and asked, "Are you sure that all the missing materials are the raw materials for the healing potion?"
"Yes, of course." Harley nodded and said with great certainty.
Little Bruce's head still hurt a little, and the cold air that penetrated his nose made his eye sockets feel like nails were being stabbed, but he still tried to concentrate and said: "Whoever took these herbs, he can't be in his office."
To brew it, he has to go to the alchemy laboratory of Zatara College, and the alchemy laboratory is used during the day, so he has to complete the refining of the potion before the students leave in the morning."
"That means he may have just finished making the potion now!" Barry said in a louder voice.
The three of them quickly ran through the large garden, bypassed the main castle, and arrived at the location of the college's underground medicine refining and alchemy laboratories. As soon as they reached the underground stairs, Harry, who was running at the front, ran into them.
a person.
But what was a bit disappointing was that it was not Professor Rodriguez as expected, but Professor Constantine.
"Why are you running so fast?" Constantine pulled up Harry who was knocked to the ground. He looked at them curiously and said, "It's breakfast time now. If you don't go to the auditorium, what are you doing here?
?”
But little Bruce shrugged his nose vigorously. He stepped forward and looked into Constantine's eyes and said, "Were you making the potion just now?"
"Your nose is smarter than a dog." Constantine reached out and touched little Bruce's head, and said, "Yes, I just came out of the alchemy laboratory, what's wrong?"
"Sorry, Professor Constantine, can I ask what potion you are refining?"
"Some healing potion, what's wrong?"
"Are you sick?"
"No, one of my colleagues asked me to refine it because he doesn't like the smell of the alchemy laboratory. If you have nothing to do, go to eat quickly. The canteen will be closed if it's late."
After speaking, Constantine walked around them and disappeared into the stairwell. Little Bruce narrowed his eyes and said, "Master of psychology... He must know how to manipulate other people to achieve his goals."
"This is really a bit suspicious." Barry frowned and said, "Dean Wayne said that Professor Constantine, Dean Rodriguez and Dark Night Master Jim are friends, and Professor Constantine's arm looks like
It was intact, and he said he was making potion for his colleague, who else could this colleague be?"
"Why on earth are you guessing here?" Harley seemed a little bit unable to bear it: "Defeat the dryad, blast the door to the door with one shot, and ensure the safety of the Sorcerer's Stone. This is the Gotham approach.
.”
Harley looked at the two boys with her hands on her hips and said, "Listen to me and go right after class today. In addition to grenades, I have a lot of good guys here. No matter what is in the room, I can feed them."
So full!”
After saying that, Harley walked quickly to the main castle and followed the flow of senior students to class. Bruce tugged Barry's arm and said, "I feel something is wrong. She seems to be hiding something from us."
"She is a native of Gotham, and she must know more than us." Barry said as he and Bruce walked in the other direction of the corridor: "But based on your previous attitude, if it were me, I wouldn't tell you
you."
"She must know more about Rodriguez than she shows." Little Bruce said thoughtfully.
And just when they were about to follow the crowd into the classroom, they saw Constantine walking against the crowd in the direction of Rodriguez College. Little Bruce grabbed Barry and stopped him from entering the classroom.
, but dragged him to follow Constantine.
"Hey, what are you doing? We're going to be late for class."
"We must seize a reliable handle!" Little Bruce pulled Barry faster and faster, and in the end he even started running. He turned back to Barry and said: "Constantine may be going to deliver medicine to Rodriguez.
If that’s the case, then we know what’s going on!”
Barry was dragged by him and followed Constantine all the way. Sure enough, Constantine entered the office of the dean of Rodriguez College. The two of them saw with their own eyes that Constantine took out the healing potion from his arms and handed it to Schiller.
.
They wanted to continue observing to see if Schiller would reveal the wound on his arm, but at this time Constantine had already come out. If they continued to lie down at the window and look inside, they would definitely be discovered, so they had to leave early.
"Now we are sure it's him." Little Bruce clenched his fists and said, "The wound caused by the shredder? No one would believe this even if you lied to a three-year-old child!"
"Then what are we going to do?"
"Let's go take a look at the Philosopher's Stone tonight. No matter what he wants to do, as long as the Philosopher's Stone is safe and sound, there will be no problem."
Just after the two children disappeared at the end of the corridor, Schiller took the healing potion, came to the office of the dean of Strange Academy, and slapped the potion in front of Strange.
Strange raised an eyebrow and said: "You know that I am dissatisfied with the difficulty of the trial, and I definitely want to secretly change the content of the trial, so you specially got a dryad and placed it at the door, betting that I don't have magic.
It will hurt."
Strange picked up a potion and opened the sleeve on his arm with his hand, revealing the wound with a bandage underneath. He poured the potion on the wound and said.
"But I still have to say that this trial you, Jim and Constantine did is a bit too childish." Strange shook his head, he looked at Schiller and said: "It's just a violation of school rules to defeat someone."
For monsters, if they go into the room and pass some levels set by professors, can they really have enough courage to resist when facing angels and demons?"
"What do you think?" Schiller asked noncommittally.
"You are a little different from the Schiller I know. The biggest difference is that you are a really good teacher. You seem to be strict with your students, but you actually don't want them to get hurt." Strange tidied himself up in a hurry.
sleeves.
"You are not greedy. As long as you can achieve the goal of educating them, it doesn't matter how cruel the process is. This is why you and your students can torture each other. When they feel pain, you also feel pain for it.
.”
Schiller did not deny that he just looked at Strange's chest and said: "You still took out the magic stone we put there, right?"
Strange took out a piece of crystal clear and shimmering green crystal from his arms, weighed it in his hand and said: "If those children knew that this thing could be piled up into a mountain, they would definitely be furious.
Of…did you know that your student Bruce Wayne came to see me?"
"I was just wondering what you were talking about."
"He told me that he had several goals to achieve, and he hoped that I could cooperate. From it, I saw a brand new possibility that could really enable students to get trials, so I found an opportunity to use the magic stone you arranged.
Replaced."
"Replaced with what?"
"Didn't you ask Master Andrew to place many magic projections in that corridor? We will know tonight."
Soon it was evening. Schiller, Bruce, Strange, Constantine, Pamela and Zatanna were sitting on the sofa in the reception area of the Dean of Rodriguez College's office. There was a person in front of them.
The huge magic projection screen hanging in the air shows the scene in the corridor on the fourth floor of the main castle.
Soon, three figures began to peek furtively at the entrance of the stairs, but before anyone could be seen, several black shadows like shooting stars crossed graceful arcs and rolled down to the feet of the tree demon.
The dryad was not that smart. The order it received was to stay still if no one attacked the door, so when five, six, seventy-eight grenades exploded at the same time, he didn't even hide.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The scene on the magic screen was directly shrouded in smoke. When the smoke dissipated, a large hole was blown out of the corridor wall, which was made of magic materials and was stronger than any material in ordinary society.
Pamela in front of the screen covered her forehead and said: "I didn't apply any advanced magic protection to Sergey, and you didn't tell me that the students here can throw grenades."
"That's how Gotham people are." Constantine sighed and said, "It's not like you can only use magic in the magic academy. I've said it before, unsuspecting devils are also afraid of bullets, explosions and flames.
"
But when Harley, the leader, took out a shoulder-mounted anti-tank rocket launcher from nowhere, Constantine remained silent.
The only person present who remained motionless was Schiller. He lowered his head to cut a cigar, and then said: "Because I know the people of Gotham, that dryad is just an appetizer. The most important thing in the trial is
Most puzzles cannot be solved by force."
Looking at the wall of the teaching building with a big hole blown out and the torn branches of the dryad, Harry let out a cheer.
She pushed the cart loaded with rocket launchers, machine guns, grenades, and an unknown number of bullets, and rushed towards the door of the trial room.
