Chapter 178: first meet

In the evening, Wayne Manor.
"Thank you very much for accepting my invitation, Mr. Zatara," the butler Alfred said while standing beside Bruce Wayne, raising his glass to the magician who was still in the blue suit.
"You are too polite, Alfred, my father and Bruce are also old acquaintances, which is nothing at all."
At this time, Bruce was staring wide-eyed and watching Zatanna play with a grape with dexterous fingers.
"How did you practice this?"
"It's just practice every day, and then practice makes perfect." Zatanna threw the grape into her mouth, and then twisted another one.
At this moment, the sound of an electric bell suddenly rang at the gate.
Alfred apologized and walked straight out of the dining room to the door.
And Zatanna seemed to feel something at this time, stopped performing in front of Bruce, turned to look at her father: "Dad, do you feel it?"
Zatara's face was serious at this time. He looked at Bruce and his daughter, and said softly: "Very well, Zatanna, you have a keen sense. Take care to protect yourself and Bruce. I will go and see Alfred. ."
After speaking, he also got up and left the dining room.
Bruce looked at the nervous father and daughter. He whispered to Zatanna: "What's wrong, Zatanna? Why are you and Uncle John so nervous?"
"Bruce, be careful, I'm afraid there is something wrong with the people here."
At the door, Alfred looked at the man wearing a dark golden cloak and a hood in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Sir, may I ask you?"
The hooded man on the opposite side raised his head slightly, and Alfred saw a pair of pupils shining with blue-violet light: "Hello, Alfred Peniworth, this is Aristophane Windrunner. It's for Bruce Wayne."
Alfred suddenly became alert: "Master Bruce? I don't know what exactly you mean?"
"It's a bit complicated, can I go in and talk?"
Alfred nodded and was about to invite him in when a voice came from behind.
"Be careful, Alfred, don't let him in!"
The housekeeper of Wayne's house turned to look at the person, and then he was stunned: "John, what are you?"
The person who came was John Zatara. He was holding a cane for magic tricks and a sky blue top hat on his head, looking at the person coldly.
The hooded man chuckled slightly, "Heh, it seems that the guests of Wayne's house don't like me very much!"
"Alfred, come here, this stranger is dangerous!" Zatara squeezed the wooden cane in his hand, and then drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"If this is the case, then I will go by myself." Before the words fell, the Hooded Man disappeared in place.
The two Alfred looked at the disappearing hooded man, and their complexions immediately changed, and hurried back to Wayne's mansion.
"Bruce, Zatana!"
The two came to the huge dining room, but at this time the hall was empty, the white candles were still burning, and a fork on the table was dangling on the plate.
Alfred looked around and found that the windows and everything were tightly closed, and the small door leading to the living room upstairs had not been opened: "Master Bruce, Master Bruce?"
The man in the blue dress looked ugly. He took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Alfred, "Stop shouting, Alfred, I think Bruce and Zatanna were both taken away by the mysterious man. . That is a very powerful mage, he may be here for Zatanna, and Bruce is probably impaired by her."
"Mage? Zatara, what are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Zatara waved the cane in his hand, and at the same time read: "The insects become the height of the stool."
Alfred saw that the white stool in front of them disappeared in an instant, replaced by countless flying lights.
He pinched one of them with his hand and found that it was really a firefly! After taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Zatara who was standing beside him: "What is going on, Zatara?"
"Alfred, I'm sorry, but please believe me, Bruce will be fine." He said sincerely, "Zatanna will definitely protect him."
"I will use my own methods to find Master Bruce, Mr. Zatara," Alfred exuded a terrible murderous look.
At this moment, just across from them, two small figures were shouting their names, but Alfred and Zatara didn't seem to hear them, and turned and left the light-spotted dining room.
The two looked desperately at the two who left the dining room, and Zatanna directly knelt down and sat on the ground.
As the daughter of a magician, or a magician, she understands what the situation is now. She and Bruce are absolutely trapped in different spaces by the unknown wizard.
"Bruce Wayne, Zatanna Zatara, hello!" At this moment a figure appeared in front of them.
"Bruce, stand behind me!"
Zatanna looked at the figure and jumped up, pulling Bruce to the window and staring at the mage in front of him cautiously. Bruce was already trying to open the window, but couldn't open it anyway, so he turned around as well, holding a fork in his hand.
"Don't worry, two, I have no ill will." Aristophane took off his hood and showed his appearance to the two.
"Who are you? Why did you show up in Wayne Manor?" Although Bruce was surprised by the beauty of the elf, he quickly woke up and looked at him cautiously.
"I am Aristophane Windrunner. As you can see, I am an elf mage." Aristophane bent slightly, then got up and introduced himself, "As for why it appears here, it is a very long The story is over, please sit down and let me speak slowly."
Aristophan waved his hand, and a coffee table and three cushions appeared on the open space of the dining room. He first sat on the side of the coffee table and began to make tea.
Zatanna and Bruce took a look, moved slowly to the opposite side of the elf mage, and sat down cross-legged like him.
Aristophane held up the purple teapot and reached out to pour a cup of soaked starlight rose tea for each of them. The light red tea soup with splattered stars was really beautiful.
Bruce picked up the steaming teacup, first sniffed it, and then blew it twice to taste it, but was stopped by Zatanna next to him: "Are you crazy Bruce? Who knows if he is there? What's in the tea."
"You don't understand, Zatanna," Bruce said, calmly unlike a teenager at this time, "I have drunk a lot of rose black tea. The quality of this kind of tea is obviously not cultivable in ordinary places. According to this person's ability, if he wants to control us or get any benefits from us, there is no need to spend such a high cost and exert such a great effort."
Aristophanes put down the teapot and clapped his hands gently: "As expected of Bruce Wayne, rest assured Zatanna, this tea is not harmful, on the contrary it is good for you to master irony magic."
Zatanna held up the tea cup suspiciously, and she made up her mind to spit it out immediately if it felt strange.
After taking a sip, Zatanna felt a refreshing breath rushing to her brain as soon as the tea was finished, and some magical passes that were not so clear in the past also had ideas.
"Don't gossip, the next is my story." Aristophane looked at the two people in front of him, waved his hand to condense the pyramid of God Naboo with magic, and began to tell the story of his adventure with Diana.
"So, you are looking for Naboo's magic heir? And Zatanna and I are very talented in magic, so they chose to come to see us?"
"Yes, Bruce," Aristophane took out his short staff, summoned a group of flying birds out of thin air, and then turned them into stars and fell from the ceiling. "It's just like Zatanna's father, John Za Mr. Tara seems to be very opinionated with other magicians."
Nevertheless, Bruce is still a little unbelievable.
In his opinion, some magic tricks are just tricks to lie to children, but everything in front of him can't help but not believe that some supernatural energy does exist in this world.
"That sir~EbookFREE.me~ can we go out first? Time is running out, I am worried that Alfred and Uncle John are in a hurry." Little Bruce's eyes rolled, "As for your proposal, can you let us Discuss it?"
"This is what it should be, but tonight is a special situation, so I have to use this special method," Aristophane stood up, put away the coffee table and cushions, "as an apologize, these two I hope you can accept the little things."
Bruce and Zatanna took it over and found two small badges, one resembling a bat and the other resembling a top hat.
"Aristo..." Zatanna was about to ask how to allocate, the wizard in front of her had disappeared.
"Master Bruce, Miss Zatanna, are you all right!" At this moment, an exclamation came into their ears from the entrance of the dining room. The butler and Zatara just walked to the entrance and saw the two people who appeared in the dining room in surprise. Shouted out.
Bruce shook his head, then looked down at the bat badge in his hand: "It's okay, Alfred, it's better to say I feel very good now."
