The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3015 Mercury Notes (1)

Chapter 3015 Mercury Record (I)

Schiller opened the door, and a tall figure with long black hair walked in. Diana gently smoothed her hair, smiled at Schiller and said, "Good morning, professor. I brought the latest agricultural products from Metropolitan Farm, including carrots, onions and celery. I hope there is room in your refrigerator."

"There's always a seat reserved for thoughtful ladies," Schiller said with a smile as he grabbed the door handle.

He slightly stepped aside to let Diana in. Diana looked at the furnishings in the room and found that nothing had changed, so she walked to the refrigerator and put the vegetables in her hand.

Schiller picked up the hot water beside him, pushed open the back door and came to the backyard. At this time, the backyard of the house finally took shape.

Diana exclaimed as soon as she opened the door, because the vegetable garden that she had planted before was close to harvest. The green cabbages were like flowers blooming on the ridges of the fields, each one was round and plump, and just by looking at them she could imagine the crisp and juicy taste.

"It seems that I have taken over the show." Diana said, "There is absolutely no need for more vegetables here, Professor. I didn't expect you can grow vegetables."

"I didn't plant all of it. I just cleared the ridges. Why don't you take a look at this gazebo, ma'am?"

Diana followed Schiller's gaze and found that there was a pavilion in the northeast corner of the yard. It was the same color as the house. The sunshade on the cover of the pavilion seemed to be able to be opened and closed. Because the sun was not shining at this time, it was open.

There is a tea table and two stools under the pavilion.

More importantly, the pavilion is raised a little, but the wall of the house itself is not very high. Sitting on the pavilion, you can perfectly enjoy the view of the lake and forest not far from the backyard.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself, professor." Diana couldn't help but sigh: "If I could sit here and drink a cup of coffee after get off work, I would definitely love this world more."

"You're welcome to fly over anytime." Schiller helped Diana pull out a chair.

After Diana sat down, Schiller put the kettle in the middle of the tea table, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Diana and another for himself.

Diana saw that what was brewing in the translucent kettle did not seem to be tea leaves, but she could not see clearly what it was. She took a sip of the tea and found that it did not taste like ordinary black tea.

"What is this, Professor?"

"scented tea."

Diana quite liked the taste and didn't ask any further questions. After drinking a sip of tea, Schiller got down to business.

"How's the Metropolis doing?"

"Not bad. In fact, it's very stable. I have to say that Lex is very talented in this area. Under the control of the Luthor Group, the crime rate has not increased, and ordinary people can barely get by."

“Food plays a big role in this, doesn’t it?”

"That's right. Pamela got a large amount of food from somewhere and transported it through the underwater tunnel. Lex spent a lot of money to buy this batch of food and then implemented a rationing system."

"Congress has no objection?"

Diana blew on the tea and said, "I don't know if it was right for him to do this, but Lex passed this part of the cost on to the Wayne Group. He suppressed the Wayne Group's East Coast industries as a condition for Congress to let go of this matter."

"Capital rises and falls like the tide. Every time the tide changes, a group of people can get enough food. The situation on the East Coast has been calm for too long. Lex is willing to stir up the situation, so naturally there will be people who are willing to follow him and eat the soup."

"I know that from a businessman's perspective, he did the right thing. I just feel a little sorry for Bruce." Diana put down the teacup and sighed softly, her black hair floating in the morning breeze.

"He's already busy enough," Diana said, "with so many responsibilities and plans for the future. As his friends, we should have helped him more, but we can't really do anything about it. We don't even know how Lex did it."

"Don't worry, ma'am. He won't blame you. Maybe he deliberately let this happen. At least facing this kind of pressure must have made Tim gain something. He will be the future heir of Wayne Group."

"That's great." Diana looked genuinely relieved. She said, "He didn't come to us the first time he came back, but went to Wayne Group. I thought he must have a lot of business matters to discuss with Tim, so I stopped Clark."

"I think what you did is right. What's important now is not the petition. If Clark really wants to help Bruce, then go ask Lex for his opinion, or give them a chance to sit down and talk."

"Lex has already taken over a lot of industries. Will he be willing to give them up? If the talks between the two of them fail, won't things get worse?"

"Lex is a smart man. He knows that too much is as bad as too little. Besides, in my opinion, Tim has a trump card in his hand."

"what?"

"Soviet Union."

Diana's eyes widened as she said, "Tim won the support of the Soviet Union? But I don't think Lex would be able to wear the Stars and Stripes with a clear conscience."

"Of course he can't, but compared to Lex and Bruce, the new generation is obviously more daring. He has more than just won the support of the Soviet Union."

Schiller only mentioned this briefly and didn't say much. Diana also understood what he meant. These words can only be said to Wonder Woman. If he told Clark, he would either tell Lex or Bruce all at once, and the super brain would never work.

"If I can ensure that they both reach a balance, I would be willing to organize a party. I happen to be organizing an auction recently, and they both happen to be interested in art from the Amazon. What do you think, Professor?"

"Speaking of which, how's the situation on Paradise Island?"

"Tourism revenue has dropped sharply. No matter how much I promote it, it hasn't improved. But my sisters are comforting me. After all, we are a fishing and hunting people. We won't starve to death without extra income. We are better off than ordinary people living in the city."

"Perhaps you are a little too optimistic, ma'am." Schiller also put down his teacup and sighed softly.

Diana caught a glimpse of the sadness between his brows. She looked at Schiller carefully and found that the professor was dressed differently from usual.

He didn't wear the black suit. Of course, he didn't always wear suits when he was at home, but if he had guests, he would usually choose a suit that wouldn't go wrong.

But today he wore a plain black turtleneck sweater with a marlin brooch on his chest.

Looking more closely, Diana discovered that his face was abnormally pale. It was not because he looked sick, but rather his skin seemed to have become more transparent, with the blue-purple blood vessels underneath faintly visible. His whole face had turned cold and pale, and his lips had no blood color.

Looking up along the high nose bridge, Diana's breathing stagnated. The eyes behind the glasses turned just in time, and Diana saw a pair of golden vertical pupils.

Those were the pupils of a cold-blooded animal, looking extremely weird and dangerous. Combined with Schiller's face, it was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Diana's body froze, and she almost overturned her chair. She instinctively leaned back and said, "Professor, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"In fact, I'm not very well, which is the main reason why I invited you here today." Schiller shook his head helplessly, then reached out and pulled down one side of the collar of his turtleneck sweater a little.

Diana leaned forward again and looked carefully with her eyes wide open. She found that there were faintly visible translucent black scales on the side of Schiller's neck, or to be precise, the part below the jawline.

"Oh my God!" Diana sighed from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The cold touch, which was completely different from human skin, made her withdraw her hand instantly.

"What on earth is going on?" she asked.

Schiller smiled, but his current state made the smile, which should have been a little helpless, look particularly evil.

"Do you know Spider-Man?"

"I heard a little bit about it. Oh my god, you haven't been bitten by anything, have you?"

"If you get bit by a spider, you become Spider-Man. If you get bit by a snake, what do you become? ...Okay, just kidding, it's not a snake bite."

Schiller slowly told Diana the whole process of the child molestation case until he mentioned Cersei's name.

"Circe?!" Diana stood up in shock. She said, "The witch Circe?! She is the enemy of the Amazons! Have you dealt with her?!"

"I guess so." Schiller said, "To be precise, I planned to kill her."

Diana took a deep breath, thinking about Schiller's current state, she understood something, so she said: "She cast a beast curse on you and turned you into a snake."

"Yes, the problem is that after I used another powerful being to kill her, the curse wasn't completely broken."

Diana sat down slowly, thoughtfully. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the teapot. She picked it up and looked at it carefully and said, "This is snowdrop. It can be used to break Circe's curse."

"Yes, I have to rely on this to maintain the status quo and prevent the curse from getting worse."

"So Circe is not dead?"

"I'm afraid so. She escaped in some way, but she must have been seriously injured, and most of her strength was lost, which allowed me to transform back into human form. But obviously, she is gradually recovering, and the power of the curse on me is getting stronger and stronger."

Diana thought for a while, and then she said, "I understand, Professor, if you are not absolutely sure, you will never take action."

"Circe cannot escape death." Schiller nodded and said, "She has a more terrible curse on her body, which means her death is only a matter of time. Even if she escapes this time, there will be another time."

"I'm more concerned about what she's looking for in Gotham."

Schiller looked up at Diana, who fell silent. She recalled the past long ago and said, "I have met Circe before. I only remember that she was very surprised when she saw me. I don't know what she was surprised about."

Schiller pointed to his forehead, and Diana touched her own forehead. Then she heard Schiller say, "She is surprised that you also have the witch moment."

"Witch's Moment?!"

"Yes, this is an ancient curse, so ancient that it can be traced back to the origin of magic, and it must also be related to the story of a goddess and many betrayers..."
