"On my first day on the job, I'm going to go straight to the lair of vampire radicals in New York with you."
Elsa sat bored in the back seat of a speeding taxi, she was still wearing her combat suit, brown hunting suit, riding boots, and black trench coat in her coat, but it was not newer than the original.It is said that she found it from the S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouse, and that it once belonged to her father's uniform.At Elsa's feet, there is a large black bag filled with everything the vampire hunters need to "work".She looked out the window, it was afternoon, and she complained to Merlin beside her, "There should be a hundred and eighty vampires waiting there, and there are only two of us, is your agent's life so exciting?"
”"We are really inferior in numbers."
Because it was a daytime operation, Merlin did not wear the retro outfit he got from Mandy, the little succubus, and the clothes he had ordered from Mrs.
Morkin would have to be delivered in a few days, so he was now wearing a gray casual jacket, jeans, and sneakers.The whole person looked several years younger all of a sudden.He looked out the window at the sunlight and said, "But we have another advantage, we operate under the sun, which is not the domain of vampires." ”"Well, there's some truth."
Elsa nodded, and after a few moments, she had a new doubt, she knocked on the door of the taxi next to her, and said to Merlin, "I went to see your S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and your headquarters is very magnificent.And you're also a department head, and when you go out on a mission, do you just take a taxi?
That Director Fury, don't you get an official car?
”"Yes."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "But last time Fury forgot to give me back the car keys."
Taxis also have the benefits of being taxis, at least they are private enough. ”"It's quite hidden."
Elsa stretched out her fingers and rubbed her forehead, and she said, "It's this cheerful music, it's too noisy." ”"Bang" Merlin kicked on the driver's seat in front of him, and he said in an unkind tone: "Du Pengde!
Turn that damn music off, didn't you hear this lady complain?
”"Huh?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
”The Indian driver, who was completely immersed in his own musical world, was awakened by the shock, and he looked back blankly at Merlin, who was not good-looking, and said, "Merlin, what did you just say?"
”"I'll tell you to turn that music off!"
Merlin yelled, and the latter lowered the sound of the car stereo, but did not completely turn off the noisy Indian music.This is the last stubbornness of the driver's brother.Ten minutes later, the fast, steady, green-lit taxi stopped in front of a 30-story office building in the Bronx.From the outside, the building is no different from other office buildings in New York City, with large signboards, cleanly painted glass walls, bustling lobbies, and parking lots full of cars, everything looks normal."
In Mercury's memory, one of Deacon's nests is here."
Merlin paid for the car and watched Dupende drive away, and said to Elsa, who was carrying a large black bag beside him, "It has put all the information about the mysterious legend of the 'Blood God' here, and has hired a technology company to crack the secrets of those materials for it." ”"How are we going to get in?"
Elsa is more concerned with the issue of action, although she was born into a family of vampire hunters and has extremely rich theoretical experience.But she just turned 20 this month, and she doesn't have much practical combat experience other than when she first came to Hell's Kitchen and chased out a group of entrenched vampires.In other words, in terms of action, she is still at the level of a rookie.The experience of breaking into a city's vampire lair like today was also the first time for her, so Elsa was a little nervous now."
It's my job to infiltrate, and you're in charge of support."
Merlin pushed his rimless glasses, he took out a pair of women's sunglasses from his pocket and handed them to Elsa, "Take them." ”"I don't need this."
Elsa simply refused: "Although I haven't taken the breakthrough potion yet, I have taken many other potions since I was a child, and I can see things clearly whether it is in the sun or in the dark. ”"Nope."
Merlin placed the sunglasses in Elsa's hand, and said, "It's a S.H.I.E.L.D. tradition, and these sunglasses are magical items, they allow you to see spirits...
You're going to need it, trust me. ”Elsa obediently put her sunglasses to her face, and she whispered, "Weird tradition." ”"Looks like you'll need a magic pocket for easy movement, but more about that next time."
Merlin glanced at Elsa's large bag full of weapons, he shook his head, and said, "Observe the surrounding environment, be careful not to expose yourself, and come in when you get a signal." ”"What's the signal?"
Elsa moved her fingers and asked, "How can I tell?"
”"You'll know when the signal comes."
Merlin smiled mysteriously, and under Elsa's gaze, Merlin put a pair of black leather gloves on her hands, and then disappeared into front of Elsa's eyes."
Wizard."
Elsa looked at the vanished Merlin, and there was a slight envy in her eyes.Truth be told, if it was possible to become a wizard, her family wouldn't let her carry on the vampire hunter tradition.But the problem is that the witchers have some magical talents, but those talents are not enough to support them to become qualified wizards.As described in the materials Merlin found in the library of the Magical Congress, in the Middle Ages, witchers were the existence between the wizarding world and ordinary civilizations, and they were also the best career choice for many Squibs who had no hope of becoming wizards in their lifetimes and were unwilling to fall into the ordinary."
It's time to work!"
Elsa bent down and took out two large-caliber demon hunting pistols from her bag, wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, the heroic girl looked left and right, carried her armed bag behind her back, and then in a agile and dexterous posture, like a nimble cat, quickly crossed the fence in front of her, and began to patrol around the building.Although he became Merlin's special affairs adviser, he was somewhat forced to be helpless.But Elsa is not resistant to her new errand, she has inherited her father's courage and has a keen interest in anything new.Most importantly, in her chest, there is also a heart that is eager to take risks.Ten minutes later, just as Elsa had found a third safe exit point, Merlin's "signal" finally appeared in front of her.A black glove suddenly appeared in front of Elsa's eyes, as if she had a consciousness of her own, stretched out her index finger, pointed at the building, then pointed at Elsa, and finally spread out her five fingers, as if waiting for Elsa to hold its palm.At the sight of the glove, Elsa chuckled.She can't become a wizard, it doesn't mean that she has little knowledge, as an ancient inheritance of demon hunting family, she has seen many wizards since she was a child, and she has also seen a lot of spells.She knew what the glove was in front of her."
The key to the door."
Miss Bloodstone snorted, knowing that the Portkey was a terrible experience, so she took a deep breath to make herself feel her best before holding the glove, then reached out and held the glove.The next moment, it was as if there was an invisible hook hooking Elsa's abdomen, pulling her whole body into the tunnel of light that suddenly opened in front of her.Two seconds later, the whirling Elsa appeared in the lobby on the 4th basement floor of the building.Although she had prepared in advance, the vertigo experience still made Miss Bloodstone stumble when she landed.Merlin had been prepared for this, and he reached out and helped the pale Elsa up."
What is this?"
Miss Bloodstone took a few deep breaths, and when she looked up, she saw the hall in front of her, and in the dimly lit underground hall, there were more than 30 glass cabinets.In each glass case, in an environment similar to a vacuum, some fragments of text are placed."
That's Deacon's secret."
Merlin looked at the texts in front of him, and said, "In Mercury's memory, Deacon called these things 'Books of the Dead,' and these texts were bought or stolen by him at great expense from collectors throughout the Americas during these months.It is called the 'Blood God', and it is said that the first generation of vampire pioneers to set foot in the Americas, brought from Europe an ancient legend, containing magical powers that can make vampires reborn. ”"Legends from Europe?"
Elsa took a few steps forward, she looked carefully at the strange cuneiform symbols on the text, and after a moment, she turned back and said to Merlin in an affirmative tone, "No!
This is not a book of the dead, and there is no legend about the 'god of blood' in Europe. ”"Huh?"
Merlin frowned, he was confident in Elsa's family heritage, but Mercury's memories don't lie, so he asked, "Do you know the Book of the Dead?"
”"Of course, it's Count Dracula's treasure."
Miss Bloodstone pointed to the text in front of her and explained to Merlin, "I've seen something like that in a crumbling castle in Romania.But I can be sure that these specious things are not any of the forces recorded in the Book of the Dead.The Bloodstone family has been dealing with Dracula for almost 1,000 years, and at least in our family's records, there is no such thing as a blood god in Dracula's Book of Death. ”"What do you mean," Merlin said, "the vampires who migrated from South America deceived Deacon with a false thing?"

”"It's not a deception."
Elsa also frowned, she looked at the texts, and said to Merlin, "I can understand these words, this is the most orthodox blood only used script, so this legend should be true, but it has nothing to do with the Book of Death and Dracula." ”"And the time difference is too much, according to the grammatical rules of these texts, this legend should have appeared after 1000 AD, it may be the inheritance of another blood ancestor, after all, Dracula is only one of the ancestors of vampires, it is famous and powerful, so it is also very likely that future generations of vampires have mistaken inheritance, or deliberately related to Dracula, in order to raise their value.""
So, according to you, the 'Blood God' is real?"
Merlin walked over to Elsa, looking at the fragmented texts in front of him, and he felt the need to collect them all."
It should be true."
Elsa spent a few minutes reading several different texts before she said to Merlin, "There is a place called the Temple of Eternal Night, which is said to be the first powerful vampire to set foot in the Americas, and he sensed the danger was imminent, so he put some of his 'source blood' there as a bargaining chip for his resurrection.And this kind of thing is very common in the civilization of vampires, so it is very credible. ”"The vampire race is very peculiar, their power comes from the bloodline, and the closer the vampire is to the ancient bloodline, the stronger the power that can be awakened.So for a half-vampire, those 'source blood's that have been sealed for at least more than 200 years can indeed play a role in rebirth. ”Elsa said with some apprehension, "But that Deacon, with the characteristics it is currently exhibiting, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist the ancient will contained in the source blood.Once it finds the temple and starts the legacy, it means...
An old monster that was active hundreds of years ago, or even 1,000 years ago, will be revived in this era. ”"So we can't let it find."
Merlin waved his hand, filling the hall with black smoke, those black fog quickly corroded the glass cabinets, and a few minutes later, the more than 30 fragments of text were collected by Merlin.He said to Elsa, "Let's go, our mission is complete, and then, it's time to deal with..."
Before Merlin could finish his words, an explosion exploded above the underground hall.The violent shaking and falling rubble made it look like someone had stormed the building.Merlin turned into a mist and wrapped Elsa and moved to safety, Miss Bloodstone quickly drew two large-caliber demon hunting pistols, and Merlin picked up the crossbow.As they watched, more than a dozen shattered vampire corpses had been blown up from the large hole above, and before they could land on the ground, they disappeared into scattered ashes in midair.In the midst of the fire-glowing ashes, a big black man with a silver sword in his hand, a black suit, a shotgun on his back, and sunglasses, holding a rope, floated down in the hall that had been completely cleaned once with a ruthless temperament of killing all directions.Oh, an acquaintance.Merlin put down his crossbow and reached out to press Elsa's arm holding the gun down, he looked at the black-clad warrior with the sword in his hand, and said, "It's only been a few days, and we've met again." ”"How's it going?
Dude Blade. ”()
