Chapter 3061 Mercury Record (Forty-Seven)
By communicating with Tim from other universes in the Doujie system, Tim obtained an important information - the great wizard Faust's real name was Felix Faust, and the Faust family was a wizard family. In addition to Felix, there were his son Sebastian Faust and daughter Verna Faust.
Among them, Felix and Sebastian are relatively far away from human society. After Tim investigated these two names, he did not obtain much information.
But Faust's youngest daughter, Funa, is a well-known outlaw who seems to have been stealing and robbing magical items all over the world. She has long been targeted by the Federal Shield and her wanted order has been upgraded to blue.
The last time we got news of Funa, she looted the Metropolitan Museum of Art and stole an Egyptian artifact that was suspected to be a magical item. Her face was captured by a hidden camera in the museum.
Relying on the fact that she is a magician, this guy is very arrogant. It's ok that she steals things without disguise, but her long silver hair and sunglasses are particularly conspicuous. It's impossible not to remember her.
With this clue, the next thing will be easy.
The Federation Shield wasn't powerful enough, and although they were able to track Funa and find her various bases, they didn't have the ability to take her down outright. But with the Young Avengers, arresting a little magic thief was a lot easier.
Amanda immediately retrieved the manhunt information and sent someone to pick up Dick and his group, taking them to the outskirts of the metropolis by helicopter. They speculated that Funa was active on the farm of this generation, using the sparsely populated farm environment to hide herself.
Amanda was quite good at leading the team. The subordinates stationed nearby had narrowed the search area to one of the farms. Raven volunteered to rush in, and within two minutes, a fight broke out inside.
Funa's ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and she is also considered a good magician. However, Raven is a player who relies on his father. He has someone behind him, and his utilization of energy is not sophisticated enough. However, the amount is large, and Bang Bang knocked Funa to the ground with just a few punches.
After pinning down the thief lady, Dick explained his purpose to her. As a result, Funa did not resist. When she heard that her father was going to be dealt with, she was more motivated than anyone else and told him all the information about Faust.
It turned out that old Faust was also a useless person. He took his son and daughter as sacrifices to the devil. If these two people had not been born with special physiques, they would not only not be devoured by the devil, but also gained the devil's power and would have been killed by him long ago.
After his children grew up, Faust still did not give up and wanted to imprison them and extract their power. Funa was once imprisoned by Faust. If it were not for a magic item she accidentally obtained that saved her life, she would have been killed long ago.
She is now collecting magic items all over the world to guard against her father. After all, the demons in the contract with old Faust are much stronger than them. They cannot defeat them head-on, and can only rely on ancient magic items to protect themselves.
Funa grew up in an ordinary society and was a cool girl who followed the trend. When she heard about Dick's purpose, she said with a flick of her hair, "That old man did go to the underworld and brought back a bottle of Styx water. He used this to trap me in this special dimension."
"I don't know how he got there, but if there is a key as you said, he should have put it in his dark treasure house. I know where the entrance to that place is, but after you get the key, the rest of the treasure house will belong to me."
Dick was about to speak when the raven stopped him and said, "Do you think you can fight him just because you have your father's treasure? The blood relationship between you cannot be erased. Sooner or later, he will find you."
"I will definitely teach him a lesson this time." Funa said through gritting her teeth.
"We can help you." Raven said, "Your father is no match for me. If you join us, he won't be able to do anything to you. Maybe you can gain even more powerful strength, and then you can teach him a profound lesson."
Dick tugged at her and whispered, "Why did you recruit her?"
"Human resources performance is also performance. She is quite strong."
Funa, who had just exchanged two moves with Raven, also knew that the girl in front of her, who looked younger than her, was actually quite skilled. She didn't know what she ate to grow so big, and she almost kicked her sunglasses off with one kick.
If I join them, the next time Faust comes to me, I will think I am that helpless and weak girl, but I will be slapped back by Raven. I don’t know how beautiful the scene will be.
Funa nodded immediately and said, "No problem, count me in, I'll take you to find the key."
Funa brought them to London, England. According to her, the life trajectory of the great wizard Faust before becoming a wizard was almost unknown, but what was certain was that he had lived in England for a period of time and had a stable job here, because only this could support him to study the forbidden black magic.
While working in England, Faust collected many strange black magic items and stored them in his private vault. Later, when he became a great wizard, this was still his first choice for storing magic items.
Barclays Bank is the oldest bank in the UK and provides private vault services to many customers. Funa used magic to deceive the staff, entered the private vault area, and successfully found the door to Faust's vault.
But if you just go through it, there are only some ordinary jewelry inside. You must use magic to attack the door to open a way to the dark treasure house.
Aisha had been holding it in for a long time, and when she heard that they were going to attack with force, she charged in head-on without thinking.
There was a loud bang, and the original door of the vault was intact, but a dark crack gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Funa seemed a little surprised. She looked at the little girl next to her and guessed her extraordinary origin.
As they walked along the passage, Funa explained, "Faust has added a very complex magical protection device to this door. Even a great wizard cannot open it easily. My brother once tried to destroy it, but he couldn't even break through the outermost layer of defense."
Aisha touched her forehead and said, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? I don't feel any resistance..."
As soon as they passed through the passage, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
It was not that the scene in the Dark Treasury was magnificent. Quite the contrary, the place was in a mess, and it was obvious that it had just been looted. Various display cabinets, treasure chests and display cabinets collapsed to the ground, and broken magic items lay on the ground with their eyes wide open.
Funa was completely stunned. No wonder the door was so easy to open this time. It turned out that it had been opened by someone before.
She crossed the messy ground and rushed to the innermost part with a few people. As a result, the innermost secret room was also opened, and the things placed on the wall in the middle of the secret room disappeared.
They had never seen with their own eyes what had been hanging there, but the strong smell of death in the secret room had already revealed the answer.
"Someone took the Key of Tartarus in advance?!" Dick had to say the worst answer, that is, someone came here before them and took the key.
What shocked them even more was that Funa quickly turned her head and looked at the next door of the secret room. She said in disbelief: "I feel the breath of Faust. My father is probably here!"
Without caring about anything else, the raven used magic to break down the wall. Sure enough, there was another secret room next to the secret room, but there was no Faust in the room. After Funa rushed in, she found that her father's breath appeared on a toad in the room.
She thought it was some kind of prop that stored magical power, so she went up and grabbed it randomly, but then she heard a familiar scolding, and an old voice rang out in the room.
"Put me down, you little bastard! I'm your father!"
Funa threw the toad out directly.
Elsa caught the toad and was about to put it in her mouth, but Jason was quick-witted and snatched the toad away from Elsa's fangs when it was less than a centimeter away.
Toad was obviously frightened by the Megalodon and roared, "You can't kill me! I'm a victim!"
"Are you Faust?"
"If you mean the Archmage Faust, yes, it's me. Someone robbed my treasure house and turned me into this!"
"Who?!"
"The witch Circe!" Faust gritted his teeth and said, "That damn witch controlled a man and used witchcraft to break the lock on the door of the treasury. I sensed someone intruding and hurried back, but she attacked me with the beast curse."
"What did she take?"
"That key!" Faust said in a raised voice, "It's the key to the underworld. You must hurry to the gate of the underworld to stop her. Once the creatures of the underworld are released, everyone will be swallowed by them!"
Jason and Dick looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the problem. Dick grabbed the toad and said, "Where is the gate to the underworld? How do we get in?"
"The gate to the underworld is in the back garden of Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld. You just need to go to the deepest part of the Samaria Gorge at sunset. After the last ray of light disappears, the gate to the underworld will appear."
"But we don't have the key now..."
"Once the gate to Hades is opened, it will not close within a day and a night. If that damn witch opens the door now, you should be able to get in before the gate closes."
Faust's straightforwardness made Dick and the others suspicious. Faust could only helplessly say, "That witch is a lunatic. Her beliefs are different from those of all magicians. She wants to bring back the so-called source of witchcraft. By that time, the magic world will be directly overturned and all magic will be unusable. Helping you is also helping myself!"
Dick and the others were indeed anxious to get to Mount Olympus, so they had no choice but to say, "You'd better cooperate sincerely. If Circe doesn't die, you will be a toad for the rest of your life!"
"I understand better than you! But entering the gate of Hades is the easiest. You know there's a three-headed dog guarding the gate of Hell, don't you? Are you sure you can beat that big dog?"
"Then how did you defeat it?"
"I sneaked in!" Faust said, "The dog was attracted by the scent of the red spider lily. I made a magic incense to confuse it for a short time, so that it could really enter the underworld."
"Where is the magic aromatherapy?"
"It has already been used up. Besides, it is not a real dog. It is intelligent. It will not be fooled a second time. Either you have other ways to attract its attention, or you can only force your way through."
"Don't you think we can force our way through?" asked the raven.
"The key is not whether you can beat the dog, but the dog's owner should be the one to beat. If you beat Hades' dog directly, it would be equivalent to fighting to the death with the Lord of the Underworld, and you are still on his territory!"
Faust is indeed a cunning old man, and he has thought clearly about the pros and cons of this matter.
A thief should do his job as a thief, tiptoe around, be careful, and leave quickly after stealing.
Breaking into someone's house, beating up their dog, and wanting to steal their things and run away is not called theft, it's called burglary. It depends on whether the owner of the house beats you up or not.
