"This place is Daddy Midnight's territory."
In a small box in the nightclub, Konstantin leaned back on the sofa, devouring a plate of macaroni and said to Merlin: "That fierce voodoo warlock has been running his nightclub here since more than ten years ago."
It's a neutral zone, and anyone is welcome to drink, provided they don't make trouble here, or Daddy Midnight will be upset and someone will be out of luck. ”"Well, is that so?"
Merlin nodded, no wonder there are so many aliens in this nightclub, they can still live in peace, it turns out that there are special people to maintain order.And it sounds like a ruthless character.He took a sip of wine, looked at Konstantin, who looked ugly in front of him, and said with a frown: "You haven't eaten for a few days?"
”"One more plate!"
Konstantin wiped his mouth and threw the plate aside, and without the slightest embarrassment, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and said to Merlin: "I only arrived in New York 4 months ago.I've been living in London before, and New York is a great place for everything, the girls are very welcoming, and the weather is much better than London.The only bad thing is that the speed of spending is too fast and the speed of making money is too slow. ”"I just finished spending the last one in my pocket today, and I met you, Merlin.I'm so lucky, right?
”Merlin shook his head, he pressed the button to call the waiter, and then said to Konstantin in front of him: "Konstantin, I doubt it now, are you really a wizard?"
Are wizards doing this badly?
”"Then you have to see who you compare with, by the way, just call me John."
Young Konstantin reached out and ruffled his hair, he took a cigarette from Merlin's cigarette case, lit it himself, and answered Merlin's question: "Don't look so depressed now, but I'm much luckier than the dark wizards who are hunted down by the witchers." ”"At least I have sound limbs, I can still enjoy life, and I haven't made myself a human or a ghost because of various accidents.But compared to the orthodox wizards who live well, then I'm not even a bum. ”The 22-year-old Constantine, who was very observant, noticed that Merlin seemed to be interested in wizarding and magic, and he recounted everything he saw or heard in London."
You can't imagine how extravagant orthodox wizards are, especially those from pure-blood families.They have a long history and have amassed a lot of wealth very early, especially the isolated fellows of Hogsmeade...
I've heard that a regular lunch costs 10 gold gallons!
”"The concept of money has long been meaningless to those old and immortal bastards."
Speaking of this, Konstantin looked envious, while Merlin noticed some of the details, and he asked, "Hogsmeade Village?"
And Kim Galleon?
”"Oh, it's a pure wizarding village in England, and they refuse all Muggles, i.e. ordinary people.As for the golden galleons, that is the currency used among wizards. ”Konstantin explained: "A gold Galleon, which is about 5 pounds, or 7 dollars, can only be exchanged for these things in the goblins' bank.Speaking of which, Merlin, why are you looking for wizards?
”"They're all old-fashioned, hard to deal with, and not every wizard is as easy-going as I am...
Oh, thanks. ”Before Konstantin could finish his sentence, a waiter placed a large plate of food in front of Konstantin's eyes, and the latter thanked him, and then moved his fingers, ready to start feasting.He said to Merlin casually, "Especially since you still carry the breath of the devil in you, and the orthodox wizards hate demons and devils, and any act of having anything to do with demons is a sin in their eyes. ”"I think it's a sin, John, too."
Merlin finished drinking the wine in his hand, and he said to Constantine, "Can you help me to forgive this sin?"
”"Lifted?"
Konstantin, who was gobbling up his food, looked up at Merlin, and he shrugged: "I can't do it, and even if I could, I wouldn't do it." ”"Why?"
Merlin asked with a frown, and his constant questioning seemed to make Konstantin a little impatient, who stopped eating and said to Merlin, "Because that's risky!"
”"Demons are a bunch of bitches, they're more troublesome than devils, and they won't reason with you.Once I touch the dark power in your body, it is likely that it will attract the attention of demons, and then your trouble will become mine. ”The bohemian shrugged, "And I've had enough trouble. ”Merlin nodded, not pressing the matter anymore.He understood what Konstantin meant, and could understand.After a few minutes, Konstantin finished eating, he let out a comfortable groan, picked up the beer on the table, poured himself a sip, then wiped his mouth, looked at the pensive Merlin, his eyes rolled, and said mysteriously: "Thank you for your hospitality, my friend Merlin."
I can't solve your current problem, but if you can give me $500, I can give you a much-needed suggestion. ”Merlin was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Konstantin, who gave him an extremely hypocritically friendly smile.A few bills were placed in front of Konstantin's eyes, and the decadent young man picked up the money, put it in his pocket, then snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said to Merlin with a straight face: "You'd better get out of here now."
I mean, leave New York, fly away, and find a place to live incognito again. ”"Why?
Does this have anything to do with the dark forces in my body?
”Merlin asked, and Konstantin smiled slightly embarrassed, grabbed his hair, and said, "Sort of."
You know, I'm a very good scout, and I do all kinds of jobs. ”"Half a month ago, I received a commission, and a gentleman with a not so good temper asked me to help him find someone.It told me that it had a strange 'brother' who had been active in Manhattan a few months ago and then suddenly disappeared, but had recently returned to it. ”"That gentleman desperately wants to meet his brother, to have a chat, to have a meal or something."
The young man pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "But it is very stingy, and it is not as generous as you."
Oh, by the way, the demonic aura on it, and the aura that emanates from you...
Almost identical.So if I'm not mistaken, it's looking for someone...""
That's you.""
What?"
Merlin jerked up from the couch.He looked at Konstantin, and he asked in a deep voice, "You mean, in the past half a month, there has been a half-demon looking for me?"
Why are you telling me this?
And most importantly, why now?
”"Because you invited me to dinner, you were very enthusiastic, and you were generous, which made me hesitate."
Konstantin said with an innocent face: "I'm a detective, man, I have a professional ethic!"
And the gentleman's deposit has already been received!
It took me a long time to break the rules to remind you. ”"Run, Merlin, it's around tonight, and if you're unlucky, you probably won't be able to run.""
Konstantin, although I have only just met you, you...
What a bastard!
”Merlin still said a word, pushed the door open and rushed out.In the box behind him, Konstantin flicked his fingers triumphantly, and the unprofessional guy said to himself: "Well, I'm a genius to make money at both ends!"
”"If this continues, I will soon be rich overnight!"
———————————————————— the Great Devil Mephistopheles once told Merlin that the Three Demons liked to give their power to a large number of "heirs".This is not a kind of benevolence and generosity, because these forces can flow with each other, and the Three Palaces Demon uses this method to encourage his "sons" to kill each other until the most powerful demon son is born.Just like raising Gu, the most powerful demon son who survived in the end would be brutally devoured by the three palaces in order to enhance the ontological power of the super-level great demon.Mephistopheles had urged Merlin to hunt down the Demon Children in New York, and Merlin did not take the advice of the Great Devil, but he was always vigilant to avoid being discovered by the other Demon Children.And judging by what Konstantin told him, there are already sons of demons targeting him.Konstantin was a jerk, but his reminder came just right, which gave Merlin some time to prepare in advance.Merlin opened the trunk, pulled his suitcase out, and drove into the night.His speed was not fast, and as the vehicle moved, the dark perception spread little by little, and after a few blocks, Merlin really noticed a guy following him.That guy's breath is almost the same source as the dark power in Merlin's body, and compared to Merlin's careful self-concealment, that guy has no intention of hiding it at all, and is like a living torch in his spiritual vision.However, the guy who followed the car, his aura was not very strong, it was limited stronger than those ghosts and little devils.This means that Merlin only needs to find a suitable place to easily kill him."

Boom" Merlin's car drove into an abandoned parking lot, and he opened the door and stood there with something cold.The wind of the night blew Merlin's trench coat hunting, he reached out and took off his glasses, and the world in the dark suddenly became clearer.In front of him, with the flashing of the headlights, a roaring black heavy motorcycle also drove in.In the midst of that cacophony, a strong man dressed as a motorcyclist jumped off his motorcycle.He looked to be in his 30s, wearing a black flight jacket with a blue headband on top of his head, a fierce look on his face, and a messy tattoo on his shoulder, but none of that mattered.The important thing is that at this time, in the dark of night, the muscles on this guy's face have all been distorted, and above his eyes, on that distorted forehead, there is another pair of eyes.The four eyes of the strange one all glowed with a dark red glow, as if a flame was burning."
Found you!"
The guy barely communicated with Merlin, and he roared hoarsely, as if he had lost consciousness under the scorching heat of demonic power.He didn't have any rules at all, he just relied on pure brute force, and with his arms and fists ignited by the flames, he rushed towards Merlin."
Put your strength!
Give me!
”"Bang, bang, bang, bang" Merlin shook his head, abandoning the intention of communicating.He lifted the carbine in his hand, and in the light of the muzzle flame suppressor, more than a dozen bullets accurately poured on the body of the reckless man in front of him.At a distance of less than 20 meters between the two sides, the deadly impact of the bullet was enough to tear apart his strengthened body, and the continuous flying of plasma also set off the reckless man's originally imposing charge extremely miserable.But the half-demon whose brain had been burned by the magic still did not stop attacking, and in those four eyes, the flames that burst out from the pain became even more intense.He pounced on Merlin, getting closer and closer, and when he was only 5 meters away from Merlin, the brutal demon son let out a howl of excitement, as if in the next moment, he would be able to devour this weak "brother" and become stronger with it.There was a soft click, the muzzle of Merlin's gun was raised, he looked at the distorted half-demon in front of him, and he said, "You look very angry, put out the fire." ”"Bang" was mounted in the grenade launcher under the muzzle, and a round-tipped anti-personnel armor-piercing grenade erupted from the thick launcher, like a fierce fist, smashing into the chest of the demon son, tearing his chest flesh apart, and the powerful kinetic energy rolled the half-demon fight.In the next second, under the urging of a large number of high-explosive charges, the high-temperature and terrifying flames swept everything within 8 meters of the surrounding area.More than 300 irregular anti-personnel shrapnel destroyed everything that existed in the flames.In the earth-shattering explosion, the people of the neighborhood near the abandoned parking lot were alarmed, and they were completely confused in the dark night.In the spread of black smoke, Merlin's figure reappeared outside the blast range, staring at the burning wreckage left by the explosion in front of him.He had a weapon in his hand, but there was not the slightest expression of joy on his face.For he could see that in the ruins of the flames, there was a vague figure moving."
In the face of these monsters, ordinary bullets...
Alas, it really didn't work much. ”Merlin looked at the flame figure whose whole body was lit and staggered to his feet, he sighed a little disappointed, put the gun in his hand behind his back, wiped his hands around his waist, and two grenades were buckled in his hands.There were two soft clicks, and the bolt of the grenade hit the ground.A glimmer of eagerness flashed on Merlin's face, and his body turned into black smoke in the next moment, and he roared towards the figure in front of him who came out of the flames: "Then try again, something more powerful." ”()
