Chapter 345: Old wizard, do you want to pass on your legacy?

"How...did you get in?"

The old wizard Shazam was originally leaning on a stone chair listlessly.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide, as if the corpse in the coffin that had been made up by the undertaker suddenly woke up.

He subconsciously looked around.

The familiar stone chairs and huge rocks let him know that he had not sleepwalked into the outside world.

But where did this person come from?

Over the past few hundred years, no one has ever been able to enter here except the children he personally led to the Rock of Eternity.

In modern terms, this was his secret base.

But the person in front of him had no key and no information, and just barged in like that.

"I'm Leon Stark, also a wizard."

Your identity when you go out is what you give yourself.

When meeting Clark, Leon could be an Earthling with Kryptonian blood.

When he met the wizard Shazam, of course he was a real wizard.

Leon drew a circle in the air with his right hand, casting the classic Kamar-Taj magic portal.

"See, that's how I got in."

Leon explained, "There is a magic node in Philadelphia that can open the entrance and exit of the Rock of Eternity. I tried it with a secret method and got in."

Leon said it as if he had found a door and happened to have a master key in his hand, so it was natural for him to open the door and come in to visit.

But he just ran in without even knocking. Where did this self-familiar wizard come from?

Shazam roared in his heart.

No, there's no way the Rock of Eternity could come in directly with just a teleportation magic!

Because Leon acted so naturally, it was just like he was visiting a neighbor.

So much so that Shazam was led astray at the beginning.

It took his mind a while to react.

The magic level of this person in front of me is very impressive.

A magician of this level who deliberately broke into the Rock of Eternity must have ulterior motives.

"What do you want to do here, strange wizard?"

The old wizard Shazam stood up from the stone seat, holding the Staff of the Gods.

He looked down at Leon from the steps, full of imposing manner.

"For thousands of years, countless evildoers have tried to release the demons suppressed here, but their end is always to return to dust."

"Before you reach an irreversible end, you'd better think clearly about what you are doing!"

As soon as Shazam finished speaking, he saw the strange wizard tilt his head back slightly, obviously shocked by his words.

Very good, it seems that this powerful wizard is not a fool and can still be saved.

"No offense, Wizard Shazam, were you in a daze just now, so you didn't hear what I said at the beginning?"

Lyon's guess about Shazam's current condition is somewhere between Alzheimer's and hearing loss.

"What?" Shazam was stunned.

At first the young wizard seemed to say something.

But he couldn't remember it anymore.

"You said...why don't you say it again?"

Shazam felt like he had misunderstood something, and slowly walked down the stairs with his staff.

Seeing this, Leon felt that this great wizard might really be a little demented.

Out of his habit of respecting the old and loving the young, he patiently repeated it.

"The world outside is restarting, and I'm here to bring you an heir!"

Shazam suddenly realized: "So you want to inherit my power!"

"Young man, next time you see an elder, you must speak clearly!"

Shazam has lived for thousands of years, and a mere misunderstanding is not worth mentioning. He does not feel socially dead at all, but instead turns the tables.

He walked around Leon, his staff knocking on the ground with a thumping sound, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter as he looked at Leon.

He hadn't seen a wizard with such good qualifications for a long time.

(In fact, he hasn't even met a stranger in a long time.)

"Not bad, very good."

Shazam stopped in front of Leon and his serious expression relaxed a lot.

"Do you want to inherit my power?" he asked again, but his tone was extremely certain.

Lyon felt like pork on a chopping board, being turned over and over to find a quarantine stamp.

I couldn't help but say: "Actually it wasn't me..."

"I know, I know everything!"

Shazam interrupted Leon.

The expression on his face said 'I've seen it all'.

It seemed as if his gray hair was engraved with the wisdom that the long time had brought him.

"I have been away from the world for thousands of years. Everything the outside world knows about me has long disappeared with time."

"It's amazing that you were able to find this place from a few words in an ancient book. It's not easy."

Shazam turned around, stepped onto the stairs, and dropped the scepter lightly and heavily.

"You may know that you have good potential, but if you want to inherit my power, potential is not important."

Shazam said so though.

But when he turned around at the top step and looked at Lyon again, there was actually a smile on his face.

"Only those with a pure heart, a strong will, and a sense of justice can become my successor..."

As he spoke, Shazam's majestic voice quickly weakened and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Why are your thoughts so... so... dirty!?"

He was silent for a few seconds.

Suddenly he became so excited that he pointed his staff at Leon.

There was a look of anger on his face.

"At your age, you have such magical attainments, but how come your mind is not pure at all? Instead, it is as filthy as Caesar when he met Cleopatra!"

“This…” Leon was a little embarrassed, “This is an accident.”

Diana was a little too passionate last night, and he is still savoring the aftertaste.

I didn't expect that such impure thoughts could be detected by Shazam.

Normally speaking, with his current willpower and state of mind, he would be chosen by Shazam.

Although he did not come here intending to inherit the power of Shazam himself.

But it was still a bit embarrassing to be suddenly pointed out to have unclean thoughts.

"Alas..." Shazam sighed deeply.

"There are no accidents in the world of magic. Young man, I'm sorry that your intentions are not pure and you cannot become my successor."

He explained in a tone that was blaming Lyon for wasting resources.

"Five thousand years ago, I had another successor. He had impure intentions, so after gaining power without any effort, he lost his mind and caused a huge disaster."

Shazam waved his hand dejectedly: "Go, go away, I will not give my power to someone with impure intentions again."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the stone seat, his back hunched a little.

Obviously, he himself regretted not being able to choose Leon as his successor.

"Sure enough, people with strong will and simple minds can only be found among children." Shazam kept sighing.

Leon looked strange.

Why does this make me feel like in "Digimon", only children have infinite possibilities, so only children can be summoned to the digital world?

"Wizard, in fact, I am here to give you an heir, not to become an heir."

"Hmm?" Shazam frowned and turned his head away, "You don't want to be my successor, why?"
