Su Ming suddenly discovered a serious problem: the magic staffs he had looted from Naboo had changed.
Originally, they were all intricately carved and adorned with gemstones the size of pigeon eggs, some even inlaid with gold and silver, extremely luxurious.
But now the gemstones were gone, leaving only bare sticks, making him feel like he was carrying a bundle of firewood.
He took out one magic staff to examine it; it clearly had the World of Warcraft style when he first got it, but now it suddenly looked like Harry Potter's realistic style...
This is too rustic, come on!
Even if Harry Potter's staffs contain dragon tendons or phoenix feathers, this is entirely just wood.
Looking at the magic staff, as clean as if it had been licked by a dog, Su Ming's gaze became sharp; he already knew who the culprit was!
"Excuse me, everyone, I'll step away for a moment."
Su Ming finished speaking and, without waiting for a response, walked towards a dark alley.
What puzzled the others was that his cloak seemed to come alive, tugging in the opposite direction like a tug-of-war.
However, the power of the Magic Floating Cloak couldn't match the symbiote; Strangulation was firmly on his host's side, and the cloak was dragged into the alley...
When he emerged from the alley again, as if nothing had changed, except the cloak was much shinier.
Su Ming indeed had no way with the Magic Floating Cloak, as a Magic Holy Artifact, it was mostly immune to magic, and his Godslayer had no intimidatory effect on it.
But fortunately, he had a symbiote. In the alley, he let the symbiote create a big mouth and licked the cloak up and down with a long tongue several times.
Though it wasn't harmful, the disgust was enough.
The Magic Floating Cloak immediately became lifeless, as if its color had turned gray.
It can't keep eating random magic props; the magic staffs are fine, but what if it eats those Silver Beetle Talismans?
The souls there are not very clean, what if it gets diarrhea, how unpleasant.
In short, let Strangulation supervise it for a while, don't let it rummage through his bag, especially Manhattan's gemstones, which are extremely valuable.
The group reunited, and Su Ming managed to trade the bare magic staffs for ice cream. Although those staffs lost their magic power, the wood was still decent material and had some value.
At least it's no problem to exchange for food.
Donna was licking her ice cream, the glowing material inside made her mouth shine, and she followed the group while pondering Deathstroke's issues.
This person is sometimes very cold, but other times seems quite human, how curious...
Gorilla hurriedly led the group directly to a lakeside, where he began jumping and shouting a name by the water.
"Vivian! Vivian!"
Albella was also eating ice cream, enjoying something cold after drinking: "If I didn't know Bo Bo was calling someone, I'd think he was going mad."
"Indeed, this scene somewhat resembles Evil God worship, a gorilla shouting an unknown divine name by the lake." Su Ming also joked, Bo Bo, just call, what's with the flailing and jumping?
Perhaps the person in the lake felt too embarrassed or what, the gorilla was panting, the group's ice cream almost finished, yet the lake was still calm.
With a breeze blowing, the lake surface remained mirror-like, without a ripple.
Bo Bo sighed; he hadn't intended to do this.
He pulled Night Blade from his jacket pocket, the Magic Sword emitting dazzling light in Maya, at this moment resembling a black-haired 'Jedi Knight Master Yoda.'
He pointed his sword at the water.
"Vivian, I command you as the ruler of Maya, come out to see me immediately."
Waves rippled on the water, surging up like a fountain, and a woman emerged from beneath the surface.
She had a graceful figure, bright eyes, and her wet golden hair clung to the curves of her body, enhancing her allure.
But now she was pouting, her face full of reluctance.
"Vivian greets the ruler of Maya, the great Master of the Dark Night."
Her voice was very pleasant, but what she said made Bo Bo's brow twitch.
"Damn it, don't call me that."
"Then you shouldn't use Night Blade to command me." The Lake Fairy turned her head haughtily, snooting.
"Phew... I don't have time to argue with you now; we need your Divination Art." Bo Bo put away Night Blade, shouting his purpose as he saw Vivian intending to leave.
"My Divination Art? It's not accurate at all; the futures it sees only bring misfortune. King Arthur and Lancelot proved it."
Vivian shook her head sadly, refusing to perform divination.
Su Ming stepped forward, indicating he'd speak: "That's Morgan's doing, unrelated to your prophecy. The Magic Realm is facing a crisis; no one can stand aside."
"Maya is safe..."
"It won't be safe for long, Hecate is back, trying to use her witchcraft to rule the Magic Realm. By then, Maya absolutely cannot become your 'Avalon.'
Su Ming immediately presented the harsh reality.
"Why don't you go to my sister, Upper Capital's Divination Magic can see much further."
"Because the dark side of witchcraft has come from outside the Origin Wall, all mages in the witchcraft school have their magic completely ineffective, it's dangerous and one could die unexpectedly." Su Ming explained the reason, there was nothing to hide: "Now the only hope lies in Heaven, Hell, and the fairy Magic here."
Vivian stood atop the lake, pinching her chin and pondering these things.
She was the eldest among the three sisters, one of the Immortals, but hadn't joined those with the Eternal Council.
Instead, after King Arthur's death, she came to Maya, staying here in seclusion.
"Alright, for the world, I'll make an exception, tell me, what do you want to see?"
Su Ming glanced at Bo Bo and then at Donna: "Since you're already breaking an exception, break a few more, help us see where Hecate is now, who the other two Engravers are, where they are, as well as Lex Luthor, Cheetah, Grud..."
"Stop! Stop!" Vivian looked at Su Ming as if he were mad: "Do you take me for God? This isn't Celestial Magic, it's fairy divination, requiring the power of the Water Element, it's impossible to help you see so many things at once!"
Bo Bo nodded, confirming Vivian's words were correct.
Su Ming had hoped to squeeze the toad and get answers to all his questions at once, but unexpectedly there were so many limitations, really troublesome....
"Alright, then help us see where the Possessor of Witch's Hour is, anyway Hecate will definitely go for them."
Su Ming settled for the most crucial matter at the moment.
As the lake water churned and rippled, some concrete images became manifest, providing the answer.
