Chapter 3070 Mercury Record (Fifty-Six)
"The Olympian pantheon doesn't have much dealings with the ancient Babylonian pantheon, so I don't know much about Nabu's background. I only know that he is not dead and is still active on Earth." Hera said in a low voice.
"Active on Earth?!" Dick repeated in a raised voice with some surprise.
Hera nodded and said, "I don't mean to brag, but the Olympus pantheon was indeed the most powerful pantheon at the time. Many other pantheons have withered away over the past ten thousand years and have long since become disorganized. This is the case with the ancient Babylonian pantheon where Nabu is located. They can no longer be called gods."
"Is there any way to find this Nabu?"
"Nabu is one of the founders of the Human Grand Mage Alliance. If you can find a Grand Mage, you may be able to find out his whereabouts." Hera continued, "As the culprit who imprisoned Hecate and put her to sleep, the Lords of Order must be the ones who least want the Goddess of Magic to return. As long as you can find Nabu, they will definitely help you with all their strength."
With a new direction, the few of them did not delay any further. If they had been asked to find the great wizard before, it would have been a bit difficult, but now they had a ready-made toad.
In addition to asking Faust about the whereabouts of Neb, they actually still held out some hope and wanted to know if Faust had any insights into the mystical sun. If he could really control the mysterious spear, perhaps he could directly deal with Hecate.
Hera used her divine power to send them back to Earth. Dick and his companions met with Funa and Billy who had been waiting for a long time at Wayne Manor. Dick told Faust what Hera told them.
Faust was silent for a while after listening to this, and then said: "I have heard of this Nabu god, but if nothing unexpected happens, he should have had an accident."
Dick and the others immediately became nervous. Verna pinched the toad hard and said, "Don't keep us in suspense!"
Faust kicked his legs unhappily to break free from Vuna's grip, jumped onto the table, and said, "I'm not kidding. This Neb may have died many years ago."
"Dead? But Hera clearly said he was still alive!"
"What I mean is that his body may have long ceased to exist, but it is possible that this cunning ancient god has survived in some other way."
"How did you know?"
Faust sighed, and another secret of the past was revealed to everyone. As everyone knows, those immortal wizards did not come out not because they really did not care about fame and fortune, but because they owed too many debts in their early years, which they could not pay off now, so they could only use various means to avoid their creditors.
The power of the Lords of Order was given by Hecate. When Hecate fell asleep, they had no creditors and lived an easy and comfortable life.
But the magic goddesses slept for longer and longer, and their power gradually weakened, until they were unable to maintain their own existence.
Many years ago, a war broke out between the Lord of Order and the mortal enemy of this group, the Lord of Chaos, which consumed some of the few remaining ancient gods.
This war was very famous in the world of occultism. Faust, who was constantly collecting magical items all over the earth, had once passed by them. As the most powerful of the Lords of Order, there has been no news of Nab since then, and the magic world believed that he had died in this war.
Faust thought for a moment and said, "At that time, because they were worried that the war would affect their people, a certain generation of Dark Night Masters participated in the war. He might know where Naboo went."
Unexpectedly, these clues went around and around and back to the starting point, so Dick had to lead the team to the Forgotten Bar again.
Master Jim of the Dark Night welcomed them warmly. After hearing about their experiences along the way, Jim said, "Yes, Nabu is indeed dead. To be more precise, his body has been destroyed. Now his soul resides in his helmet, which is in the hands of Doctor Fate, the spokesperson of the Lord of Order."
"So where is Doctor Fate now?"
Jim looked at them strangely and said, "If you want to find Dr. Fate, you shouldn't come to me, but Professor Schiller?"
"what?"
Dick and the others looked at each other, not understanding why the topic ended up focusing on Professor Schiller.
Jim said in surprise, "You didn't know? Nelson is a famous psychiatrist, and he is Schiller's junior fellow student. They are much closer than we are."
Dick's mouth was so wide open that a whole egg could fit in it, so this series of puzzles is a circle again, and the answer is still written at the beginning!
"I've never heard Professor Schiller say that he has any junior fellow students..." Aisha was also shocked.
"Maybe it's because Nelson is younger and works in the Metropolis." Jim shrugged and said, "And I remember he said that when Schiller was going to Gotham, he strongly disagreed. The two of them may have had some conflicts because of this, so they didn't keep in touch afterwards."
Jason covered his mouth, because he dealt with Schiller the most, so he knew some old stories. Before Schiller came to Gotham, he went to Metropolis. No one knew why he went to Metropolis. Could it be that he really went to see his junior brother?
No matter what, this Doctor of Fate Nelson must be a key figure. They rushed back to Gotham without stopping and headed to Metropolis as quickly as possible.
But the more troublesome thing is that although Tim has retrieved the identity information of Kent V. Nelson, this guy works in Luthor Hospital, and Tim is not sure he can contact him directly without being discovered by Lex Luthor.
If they were caught, Lex might not dare to do anything to Bruce. He was very generous to him and gave him too much. Tim was afraid that he could not control himself. If he was also pried away by Lex, Bruce would go crazy.
Dick also felt that since he worked in someone else's hospital, it would not be nice to suddenly show up without the boss's knowledge. It was also necessary to inform Lex about these things. Business was business, and when it came to protecting the earth, Lex could be trusted.
So they went to Luther Manor.
Lex received them despite his busy schedule. He always had issues with Bruce, but he was nice to his nephews and prepared a large table of delicious food.
After running for several days, the Young Avengers finally had some free time to sit down and feast on supplies.
Dick and Lex talked about the process of building their team and collecting clues along the way. Lex nodded frequently and said that he could sponsor the Young Avengers team.
Dick felt that it would be a good idea to have one more sponsor, and by then the Young Avengers' scope of activities would definitely not be limited to Gotham, but would basically cover the entire East Coast, including Metropolis, and could help Lex, so the sponsorship would not be too difficult to get.
It wasn't until he saw the sponsorship amount that Dick realized what Tim meant by always asking them to stay away from Lex. He really gave too much.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group discussed in Luther Manor. The topic mainly revolved around the Hecate Crisis. Luther affirmed Dick and the others' inferences along the way, and then talked about Doctor Fate.
"When I was researching Kent Nelson's background, I knew that he and Professor Schiller were from the same school, and their research directions were very similar. Professor Schiller was better in terms of academic level, but Dr. Nelson was better in the application field. He can be said to be the best psychiatrist in the world at present."
Lex put his five fingers together, tapped them lightly and said, "Nelson is much younger than Schiller. Apart from the fact that they were from the same school and had similar research directions, there should be no intersection between them."
Jason immediately thought of the fact that Schiller had been to Metropolis before coming to Gotham. He said, "I heard that Dr. Nelson was very opposed to Professor Schiller going to Gotham."
"I don't know where you heard this from, but I don't know anything about their personal relationship. If you go to him, be prepared that he won't help you."
At that time, Dick and the others didn't understand what Lex meant by this. After all, they were prepared that no matter who they asked for help, the other party would not help.
Helping is not an obligation. Even if it concerns the safety of the earth, it is normal for the other party to be unwilling to help for various reasons. They don't engage in moral kidnapping - they choose direct kidnapping.
But apparently they thought the matter was too simple. Nelson was not only unwilling to help, he took action directly.
In the office of the psychiatric department of Luther Hospital, a brilliant golden light flashed. Before Dick and the others could see the man's face clearly, a golden helmet appeared on his head, followed by a blue and gold uniform, and a golden beam of light flew towards them.
Raven waved his hand and a magic shield appeared in front of him. Elsa grinned, revealing her fangs ferociously, and pounced on Doctor Fate without showing any weakness.
Doctor Fate did not choose to fight them here, but turned around and flew out of the window. Raven quickly followed, and the two sides fought back and forth over Metropolis.
Dick stood in front of the window anxiously. Funa stuffed the toad into Jason's hands. Now that Faust couldn't use his magic power, he was not afraid that he would run away. He then turned around and joined the battle.
It can be clearly seen that Raven is strong enough but lacks combat experience; Funa is good at fighting but her strength level is far inferior to that of Doctor Fate; on the contrary, Aisha, due to her special existence, cannot be hit and her head feels buzzing when touched, which restricts Doctor Fate.
Dick followed the figure of the raven with his eyes, but Jason had already started to make a phone call. He called Lex and said to the other end: "Nelson took action directly. I don't understand why he has a deep hatred for us, but if he doesn't stop, your hospital may have to be renovated..."
Not long after, Doctor Fate, who had just dodged Elsa's headbutt, dodged to the side, picked up the ringing cell phone, answered it, nodded into the phone, and after a while hung up the phone in annoyance and flew back to the office.
When the helmet was taken off, everyone was shocked. This guy was about the same age as them and looked like he had just graduated from college. He was too young.
This young man had blond hair and blue eyes, and looked quite sunny, but the way he looked at Dick and the others was not so friendly, and he looked at Aisha with fear.
Dick and the others were confused. Didn't they learn from the same teacher as Professor Schiller? They were two generations apart, right?
"From the same school means we were taught by the same teacher. Age has nothing to do with it. Do you understand?"
Nelson's voice rang in their ears. Dick was startled and asked, "Can you read minds?"
"This is not mind reading, this is psychology."
"You really are from the same school as Professor Schiller."
