Chapter 175, Archmage?
How could there be no one in the subway train at such a time?
The little boy Billy Batson felt a little nonsense, but when he thought about going to the welfare center to receive the monthly welfare allowance, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the train.
"This is Metropolis, so there shouldn't be any problems... Hey, even if something goes wrong, Superman, Avengers, Wonder Woman, Cyborg... They will definitely come to save me!"
Billy looked around, took the seat closest to the door, and the train door closed and slowly accelerated.
"If something goes wrong and Superman comes to save me, can I ask him for an autograph? I'm a huge fan of the Justice League. They will definitely give me an autograph!"
Thinking of this, Billy took advantage of the heartless characteristics of a bear child, lying on the window and looking out leisurely.
The advertising screens on the walls of the subway tracks quickly reversed as the train started.
One second Billy was watching with gusto, but the next second, the picture suddenly changed, as if the train had come to a cave, and there were stalactites hanging upside down everywhere.
"God, the train goes through the cave?"
Even if Billy was a heartless brat, at this moment he realized that something was wrong.
The metropolitan subway will only run in the city, why did it suddenly drive into a cave.
The train was still roaring forward, and Billy jumped out of his seat, banging his fist on the door, trying to open it.
However, everything is in vain.
After about half an hour, the train slowed down slowly, stopped, and then the door opened with a 'ding' sound.
"This is... the stop?"
The little boy Billy poked his head out and looked out of the car.
The surroundings still look like caves, but near the train, there is an earthen step, like the platform here.
Billy jumped from the train and bravely walked along the platform.
After a while, he saw seven hideous stone statues on the wall on the right, and under each statue was the name of the stone statue.
"Arrogance...jealousy...greedy...hate...what is this??"
Billy continued walking inside, amazed by the seven stone statues in the inexplicable cave.
At the end of the cave, there is a huge stone seat, on which sits an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and white beard and hair.
The moment Billy approached, the old man opened his eyes and said, "Billy Batson, you are younger than I expected."
"Whoa... there is a living person... God, you... are you the Archmage Gandalf in Lord of the Rings?"
When Billy saw the old man on the stone seat, his first reaction was that the man was a Gandalf-level mage.
The old man let out a laugh: "Hahaha, I am not some Gandalf, I am... Shazam!"
After saying the word Shazam, a cloud of thunder suddenly erupted in mid-air, causing Billy to fall to the ground in fright.
"Omega, do you know how to spell thunder? Are you really an archmage?" Billy looked at him and praised him.
The old man's face froze, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer Billy's words.
He coughed lightly, "That...the thing is like this, for thousands of years, I have used the power of magic to defeat the evils of the world, this is an endless struggle..."
"My God, grandpa, have you lived for 1000 years?" Billy interrupted, staring at the old man with a kind of shining eyes, and asked.
"Uh uh uh... yes, I've lived 1000 years, kid, listen to me..."
"I really want to know what was there 1000 years ago. Can I learn magic from you? I really wanted to read similar comics before. A doctor had a car accident and his palm nerves were broken. Then he went to a supreme Master, and was accepted as a disciple by the supreme mage, and became the next generation of supreme mage..."
Billy kept talking excitedly, and the face of the old man on the stone seat became darker and darker.
He snapped his fingers suddenly, and Billy, who was chattering non-stop one second, couldn't make any sound the next second.
"Well, that's right, children must learn to listen."
The old man stretched his body, and continued: "As you can see, I am old, and I may leave this world in a short time, and you...Little Billy, your parents disappeared since you were a child, the orphanage closed down, and your foster care... Your parents disappeared, your life was miserable, but you have never been cynical because of unsatisfactory life, on the contrary, you love life more than anyone else..."
"So, I hope you can inherit the power of Shazam. The world has changed recently, and I can feel a new wave of darkness that is about to sweep... I hope you can use my power to do something, Now you can say the magic word, say my name!"
After the old man explained in one breath, he looked forward to staring at Billy, expecting him to say the word 'Shazam'.
However, Billy's eyes were extremely aggrieved. He pointed to his mouth whimperingly, as if he was complaining that you used the silence skill to make me talk.
"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot." The old man snapped his fingers again.
"It's amazing, did you silence me just now, so are you really an archmage? My God, an archmage who has lived for 1000 years, can you accept me as an apprentice..."
"Billy, say my name."
"Are you Gandalf! Or the Supreme Mage Ancient One??"
The old man slapped his forehead with a slap, and he wanted to die.
Little Billy ran up to him, and asked expectantly: "Master, what is the dark wave you just mentioned? Isn't there the Justice League? Could it be that they can't even deal with them? Then you accept me as an apprentice, and I will Can I become a superhero? Then what code name should I take? Superheroes have codes..."
The old man rubbed his temples vigorously, this brat is too rambunctious!
He stretched out his hand and waved it violently, and Billy flew out of the cave with a "Wow", spinning around as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
"Ahhh... Am I going to die? Will the Archmage accept me as a disciple?"
Billy yelled loudly and waved his arms to maintain his balance, but he suddenly found that he was still standing at the door of the subway station.
There are so many pedestrians!
Because he yelled loudly just now, the pedestrians around looked at him with strange eyes.
so awkward!
…………
Meanwhile, another ancient cave.
The seal on a sarcophagus suddenly shattered, and the power of magic scattered.
At the same time, inside the sarcophagus, a decayed, old, mummy-like body suddenly opened its eyes.
He rolled his dry eyeballs, opened his dry mouth, and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "The seal...is it finally lifted...hehehe..."
In the end, this withered body trembled restlessly, as if exhausting all its strength, and shouted a word:
"Shazam!!!"
Whoa!
Thunderbolts suddenly exploded in the sky, landing on the withered body.
In the next second, this withered body suddenly turned into a middle-aged man in a black battle suit. On his strong chest, there was a pattern of lightning.
There will be another chapter tonight.
