The Death Knell

Currently, only Circe and Papa Midnite are left in the Witching Team.

Circe was the main course, and she had to leave it until the end to cook it slowly, while Father Midnight, because he was the weakest, had just left it to Starfire to delay.

Facts also proved that there was no problem with this decision. A shaman from the Mediterranean was no match for the alien princess.

After all, Starfire was once a member of the Titans. She had participated in the battles against the Ghosts and Eclipses in her early years. Even if it was just soy sauce, her horizons were still there.

Su Ming also roughly understood Circe's idea when forming the witchcraft team.

Grandi is the human shield, the Witch Boy provides knowledge and advisory services, the Plant Master is responsible for logistics, and Father Midnight's voodoo magic provides the cannon fodder.

Yes, the skeletons and zombies that everyone in Maia has always faced are the products of voodoo. The existence time limit of these voodoo corpses is the same as the code names of their owners, and they can only appear at night.

Midnight Father can summon voodoo corpses that far exceed the number of other shamans, but the price is that he can only do so at night, and his undead creations will dissipate when exposed to sunlight.

This is the conclusion that Su Ming came to through experiments on the city wall by asking Monaco to turn the lights on and off continuously.

The Prince of Magic recognized voodoo, and Su Ming summarized the rules of their appearance and disappearance. Therefore, the identity of Father Midnight and his little friend Circe was actually the first to be locked.

Only the few deformed monsters mixed in the sea of ​​undead are the creations of Circe's witchcraft.

Midnight Papa and Constantine are both enemies and friends, and their relationship is very unstable. He is the boss of the gang, and his Midnight Gang is rampant on the streets of New York.

In short, he does all the business done by the "vital group". At the same time, he also does some shady magic business. He also opened a midnight bar specifically to entertain spellcasters and people with super powers.

He has good connections and skills. Letting Voodoo Corpse scare ordinary people in the middle of the night is definitely a tried-and-true method, and he can betray anyone for benefits and benefits.

A standard charlatan magician.

.............................

In fact, Father Midnight had a miserable childhood. He was an ordinary orphan from a country in North Africa on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. He lived with his sister. He didn't even have a name, and he only had some knowledge of voodoo.

However, the local warlords were separatist and the people were in dire straits. The life of the siblings was as bad as that of pigs and dogs. His sister could only stand on the street in exchange for food to feed him.

Over the years, life has allowed him to see a lot of cruelty and evil deeds, but instead of awakening him to become a hero, this has made him very envious.

Warlords and officials are accompanied by beautiful women, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, live in luxurious villas, and enslave the people to do things for them. Anyone who disobeys will die.

Even though my sister's clients are civilians, they are richer than them, so they can yell at them, beat them, scold them, and humiliate them at will.

very nice.

We are all the same black people, so why can't we live such a good life?

So he was determined to become a strong man, take away everything these people enjoyed now, and enjoy it himself. He set a small goal for himself, which was to first become the largest slave owner in this unknown country.

But this requires strength. He has no people, no guns, and no food. What should he do?

The answer is the power of voodoo.

He left his sister and began to search for real shamans throughout Africa in order to obtain superhuman abilities. He heard that as long as you mastered voodoo, you would be a god to mortals.

Hard work paid off, and he was finally found. A kind-hearted old shaman saw that he was pitiful, exposed his identity, saved him, and taught him the secrets of voodoo.

After several years of studying, he successfully killed his teacher, graduated perfectly, and returned to his hometown with honor.

In the old house, he met his sister who was addicted to drugs and suffered from serious diseases. He hugged her affectionately and asked her if she still loved him as she did when she was a child.

After getting a positive answer from his sister, he killed her, extracted her soul, and then sacrificed it to the Hell Demon King Azarez, because his plan required someone to stay in Hell for a long time to help him.

To a mortal, killing his teacher and sister would be extremely evil, but not to a shaman who is good at voodoo.

Because as anyone in the wizarding world knows, death is not the end, but a new beginning.

At this time, he didn't even call me daddy at midnight. After sending his teacher and sister to hell, he also went there himself. Through a series of transactions and sales, he successfully opened his first bar in hell. That is, a task intermediary that spans two realms.

His teacher and sister lived in hell in the form of souls, without aging, disease, or pain, and they were all very happy.

And because their souls were sacrificed to the Demon King and became his property, "death" would not find them. This is a kind of changed immortality.

Midnight is eloquent, ruthless, and at the same time very discerning. He will show some filial piety from time to time. All the demon kings of hell like him.

The demon kings did not object to him organizing some demons to work in the main dimension to earn profits, because the taxes in several hells were basically 99%, and the benefits earned by these little demons were the benefits of the demon kings.

You don’t have to worry about it, the benefits will just fall into your mouth, so why not do it?

With the support of several hells, he was now very successful. Not only did his teacher and sister gradually transform into demons, enjoying hot drinks in the hells, but he himself also prospered in the human world.

He accepts various murder commissions in the human world, and then entrusts them to hell demons, and provides a safe passage to the main dimension, as well as a body that can be possessed, so that the demons can complete the tasks.

Then he obtains money from the main dimension from these task commissions. This is his business, very similar to a mercenary agency.

Of course, doing such a business will not waste human resources in vain, and the demons are also happy to occasionally help him deal with some enemies so that they can receive better tasks next time.

Therefore, his enemies always died tragically in the middle of the night for unknown reasons, and the death was extremely miserable, as if they had suffered endless terror and their souls were taken to hell to be tortured.

So gradually no one dared to go against him anymore. Everyone in the world called him daddy, which almost means godfather. From then on, his code name became Midnight Dad, and the slave trade in the dark world began. .

It's not that the slave trade is gone in the new era, it's just that it has gone underground. There are more brothels or black boxing arenas and gladiatorial arenas around the world that need people.

Not to mention that there are many black wizards who practice blood sacrifice and buy slaves by the hundreds at every turn, and they all settle with gold or gems.

So soon, Father Midnight got everything he wanted when he was young, money, women, all kinds of enjoyment, and lived like an emperor.

But this is Africa after all, and that's all there is to play around with. He decided to go see the wider world, so he took thousands of his men and used magic to sneak across to the United States, the beacon of democracy, and took root in New York.

There, he met more fellow mages and learned more. He was no longer a simple shaman, but moved closer to the all-round magician category.

He also met the Archmage Zatara and his young apprentice, Constantine from England.

But the relationship is limited to the relationship between the owner of the magic bar and the regulars. We would chat a few words when we met and would not contact them if nothing happened.

Until Zatara passed away and Constantine made his debut, the first thing he did was to cheat on Midnight Dad.

Leng Yan would like to seize the "Zatara Notes" left by the archmage, which is the small book that records the secrets of reverse magic.

But the book was in Zatanna's hands, and Constantine didn't want her to be in danger, so he knocked her unconscious and took away her father's belongings, publicized it with great fanfare, and then started to escape.

Leng Yan will send hundreds of mages to seal the world tightly to kill Zha Kang and seize the book. Zha Kang knows that magic must have a price, so he is unwilling to cast spells. He is no match for those people and can only run around like a rat.

But after running away for a few days, he had an idea when passing through New York, and thought of Father Midnight and his little brothers who were armed to the teeth.

So he deliberately gathered his enemies, making them think that Constantine was trapped in New York and unable to fly. Then he made a move to divert trouble to the east, and deliberately fled into the midnight bar with the enemies who were throwing fireballs, so that Leng Yan could meet him. The Midnight Children started fighting on the spot.

Constantine sat on the mountain watching the fight with great pleasure, watching Father Midnight's army of voodoo zombies drown his enemies.

Although he was certainly angry when the bar was razed to the ground in green fireworks, Brother Black was not angry anymore when Constantine taught him a few new spells in exchange.

Isn't it just money? No new spell is important, this matter is over.

Defeating so many enemies so easily opened a new door for Zha Kang, who was still young at the time. His eyes brightened and he understood the truth he pursued in his life.

That is, it is fun to trick people for a while, and it is always fun to trick people.

So he ran wildly on the road to becoming a scumbag and never looked back...
