The children told their stories and agreed on their own dreams. Naturally, the adults would sit together and talk about the cold reality compared to the warm dreams.
After one o 'clock midnight, the tavern closed for the night. This was the tradition of the tavern. The old patrons knew that when midnight came, they would walk out of the tavern regretfully and return to their homes in the dark. But as the owner, he had his own privileges. The two old friends were chatting at the quiet bar.
"Hmm …"
Bruce gulped down the wine in his glass and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Seiber and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?
He asked in a low voice, "Is your cousin really not coming back?"
"Yes."
Saber also drank the liquid in his glass. He said with some regret, "She doesn't want to cause trouble for us.
"She did not want to cause trouble for us. Although I had repeatedly assured that the Life Tribunal would not trouble us because of her, she insisted on leaving to continue her wanderings in the Multiverse … but this time, at least she does not have to waste her time as a parasite …"
"I think she's more afraid that she will lose her determination to return to the stars if she stays on Earth for too long."
Bruce let out a few deep chuckles.
"She said she has no feelings. But in the end, after she has her own body and life, even the most indifferent woman will become sentimental. Haven't we seen enough? Didn't Nebula and Jarvis get married two years ago? A cold robot and a self-proclaimed cold-blooded killer. After you brought the Emotional Spectrum back to Earth, these suppressed feelings became more vivid. "
"Maybe … but I have no right to interfere with her decision. Even when she left, I could see her reluctance to part with Little Teach, but it was her own choice."
Under the dim light, Saber, who was dressed like a bartender, refilled their glasses and snorted.
"What's so good about the cold and chaotic stars? In the end, she's still lying to herself. Women are so troublesome!"
In the next moment, Seiber's lips curled into a strange smile. He raised his glass and clinked it with the slightly tipsy Bruce. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry.
He lowered his voice and said, "But you should be relieved about Phoenix leaving. After all, little Damian showed an abnormal intimacy to Phoenix in the past few years. Hahaha, I even fantasized that one day the Wayne family would have an immortal matriarch."
"Impossible!"
Bruce glared at Saber. He took a sip of wine and shook his head.
"Damian is not such a reckless child. You've watched him grow up. He can distinguish where his feelings belong. Besides, it's not just my son. A few years ago, when I came into contact with Phoenix, I would also be slightly moved … Your cousin was born with a powerful biological charm. You can't blame my little Damian for that."
The two guys who had become old joked with each other for a while, and the topic turned in another direction.
"When Selena went to my place last time, she mentioned that you were going to bring Ms. Ancient One to Gotham. Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"
"She, sigh, I don't know what to say about her."
Ten years of rest had completely washed away his domineering aura, and Saber had become more and more like an ordinary parent. He said in a somewhat annoyed voice.
"She spent nine years traveling the world, and in the end, she came back to the starting point and ran back to Kamar-Taj, saying that she wanted to help Strange teach those new mages... Those bastards in the magic world also elected her as the honorary speaker. Those bastards! Don't they know that with Ancient One's age, she should have retired long ago. "
Saber drank a glass of wine a little depressed and continued to share his troubles.
"You know, the worst thing is! She also asked us to take Damian and his brother and sister to Kamar-Taj for a month every year. It's normal for an old lady to want to enjoy the happiness of family, but now she wants to continue to protect this world that is already safe and doesn't need her to fight for it. It really makes me speechless. Every time I go, I have to quarrel with her. But her will is like a mountain, there's no way to shake it. "
Although he said that he was troubled, Bruce clearly felt a trace of warmth from Saber's face. Obviously, he actually enjoyed this kind of domestic affairs between mortals. Probably because he had never enjoyed this in the first half of his life.
"She said that she would live for herself after being resurrected, but in the end, she still can't change her temper."
Saber shook his head and drank a glass of wine.
"Even Strange complained to me that the timeline she came in contact with would become unstable, and sometimes it would be chaotic with the magic of Kamar-Taj. That guy even asked me to forcibly bring the old lady back to Gotham and lock her up. It's not a problem to take her away, but the problem is that I can't do it. The last time Diana had a dispute with her because of this, Little Teach almost ran away from home with his two sisters. Tsk tsk, it's really a headache."
"The same goes for Old Afo. Sigh."
Saber's troubles evoked the same emotions in Bruce, and the mayor's face was a little gloomy.
"Rachel and I have to work, and he's left alone at home. Sometimes, he'll get angry for no reason. He always wants to lock Damian at home and let him inherit the family business, but Damian's personality … Sigh, last time I found out that he was planning to secretly go to the Great Sagittarius Galaxy to find Damian and go on an adventure together. He said that he couldn't let go of the young master. God, if Afo really went to the Great Sagittarius Galaxy, Damian would probably go crazy."
Bruce spread his hands exaggeratedly.
"You know, he even prepared a set of interstellar tickets and a plan of action. He even hired 30 Intelligent Mechanical Bodyguards for himself. Fortunately, Rachel stopped him. Otherwise, I'd probably go crazy."
"Then, you can ask Brucie to give birth to a child as soon as possible. Then, you can ask Fu to go to Universe 200000 to help her take care of the child. After all, it's the blood of the Wayne family.
Saber gave Bruce a bad idea. "The queen has been very close to my brother recently. I think the two of them might end up together."
"Forget it, I can't afford to offend her."
Bruce felt a headache when he heard Brucie's name. When he saw the excited Saber, he quickly changed the topic.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Where's Catherine? I haven't seen her recently. "
"She and Barry are on the other side of the timeline. Hmm, if I'm not wrong, it's about 18 years ago in Gotham."
Saber picked up a rag and started to wipe the cup. This timing stunned Bruce.
"It's the time when you first came to Gotham. You mean, someone was planning to make a move on you?"
"Hmph, a bunch of Joker!"
He put down the cup, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. This action made the night in Gotham suddenly become colder. This was another reason why Saber wanted to rest. After completely mastering the emotional spectrum and the power of the six gems, his influence on the environment had reached the level of disaster. The slightest change in his mood would cause the climate and even the basic laws of the two worlds to change.
Under such circumstances, even if Saber still wanted to contribute his power to Earth's civilization, Nick Fury and Zheng Xian would stop him with all their might.
This big boss should just enjoy his life in Gotham. If he really made a move, Earth's civilization and Utopia might be destroyed before his opponent died. Another side effect of this power was that every time Saber enjoyed the pleasure of having sex, he would have to personally set up a barrier to prevent the poor world from suffering.
"They want to kill me … but they don't dare to face the current me, so they put their attention on the timeline. A bunch of useless trash!"
Seiber coughed softly and restrained his emotions. He shrugged and placed the cup that he had just wiped to the side.
"They plan to kill me in the timeline when I'm at my weakest to prevent me from continuing to affect the world … but talking about this makes me angry!"
Bruce asked curiously, "What's the matter?
"What do you mean?"
"This kind of thing can be done by Barry alone, but he insisted on dragging Catherine along. I seriously suspect that they are using this method to avoid my eyes and go to the couple's world … Hmph, the bastard who kidnapped my sister, the next time I see him, I'll beat him up!"
Saber scolded angrily. At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure walked into the dim hall.
"Hey, buddy, we're closed!"
Saber shouted without raising his head, but he did not let the figure wrapped in darkness leave. On the contrary, he walked towards the bar counter step by step. Finally, he stood in front of the bar counter. Only then did Bruce see the guy's outfit clearly. He was wearing a motorcycle race's black leather jacket decorated with skulls. He looked like a real ruthless character.
The guy looked at Saber and said in a deep voice.
"You're Saber Hawke? Overlord … My name is Lao Bo, nicknamed Galactic Wolf. I'm from the Brilliance Star System … "
"I'm not interested in knowing who you are!"
Saber interrupted the guy's self-introduction. He held a cup in his hand and wiped it carefully. He said softly,
"I said, this place is closed. If you have anything to say, come back tomorrow … or I'll throw you out directly! You choose! "
"Bang!"
An item was placed in front of Saber. The drunk Bruce picked it up and looked at it in front of his eyes. A strange, scarlet and amber light swayed in front of their eyes.
"Tsk tsk, the purest Divine Wine Gold. I thought this thing had long disappeared from the universe … It's priceless!"
"I just need an answer!"
The man stared at Saber and said softly, "I crossed the sea of stars to come here. I just want to know an answer! Tell me, and it's yours! "
"What's behind that door!!"
This question made Saber laugh out loud in the next moment. He put down the cup in his hand, looked at the tall figure in front of him, and said playfully,
"What's there … Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"You don't dare to go because you're afraid of the Wall of Origin, but you can't hold back your curiosity, so you came to ask me. But I want to tell you, you'll never get an answer from me. But for the sake of this stone, I can send you there …"
"Congratulations, you used your recklessness to win yourself a ticket to the Gate of Origin …"
"No! Actually, I don't need it! Maybe I should use another way to get you to answer me! "
The Galactic Berserk Wolf probably knew what Saber wanted to do. He smiled sinisterly and waved his fists at Saber. The power that could make the earth explode had just rippled, and at this moment …
"Snap!"
A crisp snap of a finger rang out in the darkness, and the figure with a sinister smile was thrown into a resplendent starry sky in the next moment. That ear-piercing scream made one's entire body go numb.
"Swoosh!"
Everything returned to normal. Bruce snorted and threw the Divine Wine Gold in his hand to Saber.
"These people who use their strength to do whatever they want, it seems like you'll have to go out and deal with them …"
"There will always be some ignorant fools who think they're very strong …"
Seiber took the Divinity Gold and casually threw it into the counter. He took out two cigars and shared them with each other. In disgust, he reached out and wiped the picture of his father that had been on the counter. He said softly,
"And only villains can fight villains … We've said this more than ten years ago. But to be honest, I've always wanted to ask you, is it better to become the mayor of Gotham and become a fat man in the end, or is it better to continue protecting Gotham as Batman? "
"What's the difference?"
Bruce smiled strangely and took the cigar from the corner of his mouth.
"Aren't both ways protecting something precious? And this feeling of protection, you should know better than me … Okay, now open the door for me, I'm going to pick up Rachel … Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to get drunk and drive a hovercar? "
"Don't you know that drunk driving is not allowed in Gotham?"
"What are you waiting for? Snap your fingers and send me to Rachel … You don't want to see Gotham's model husband and wife quarrel in front of their child, right? "
"Okay … I knew it, you're up to no good when you drag me to drink, you cunning old and fat bat!!"
"Ha, you're the same, you're a salted fish tyrant who can skillfully change diapers for a child! I know that you are somewhat unwilling, but the heroic era that belongs to us is over. Now, learn from me and be a good husband and father! "
"Snap!"
A snap of fingers sounded and the closed tavern quieted down. As the last light was turned off, Saber carried the sleeping Little Teach out of the tavern. The moment he got into the hovercar, he raised his head. Gotham's sky was no longer hazy.
"Fat Bat's right."
A cigarette flickered in the darkness. Finally, as the hovercar started moving, the street returned to its peaceful state.
"A good era … doesn't need heroes …"
