Regarding Merlin's invitation, Blade was a little hesitant.A loner vampire hunter like him is not willing to be bound by the rules.But Merlin also has a point, if he is to continue to track down information about the dangerous vampire progenitor Dracula, he will need support.An official identity can save him a lot of trouble when he searches for information.Even if you take a step back, with the endorsement of S.H.I.E.L.D., Blade no longer needs to hunt down vampires and guard against human police.After the vampire is killed by the Holy Silver, it leaves nothing but ashes.In the eyes of humans, it is equivalent to a person disappearing out of thin air, and in the past 30 years, Blade has carried the wanted warrants of many missing suspects.While the obstruction of the human police is not a big deal for the Blades, they will occasionally intervene in the pursuit of the Blades, causing the locked vampires to escape.It's a frustrating thing that happens so often.So in Blade's opinion, Merlin's invitation had both advantages and disadvantages, it was a deliberate decision, and he needed time to think about it.Merlin certainly understood Blade's hesitation, and he gave Blade a week, as long as he gave Merlin an answer before he left New York.After sending the blade away, Merlin went to his basement, where he began to study something important in a basement full of magical gadgets.Source blood from Vlad III.Merlin was very interested in this thing, and he was more interested in the principle and process of the legendary vampire resurrecting with a few drops of blood.Generally speaking, this resurrection is more like a special ability of vampires, but if it can be simulated with magic, it means that maybe Merlin will have an extra hole card in his hand in addition to the Horcrux to save his life at a critical moment.But it's hard.Wizards have been studying vampires for nearly a thousand years, but they have not been able to fully understand the secrets contained in the blood of vampires, so for Merlin, if he wants to draw a conclusion, or find a way, it must be a long-term project.But fortunately, he has enough material for research.About 15 drops of the source blood that Vlad III sealed in the Temple of Eternal Night were absorbed by the blade, and the rest were transformed back into the form of the source blood after the body of Deacon, who was chosen as the host, died.Of course, the source blood will eventually be handed over to the Magic Council, and Merlin will need to exchange it for some resources, but he will certainly not hand over all the source blood.This thing is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may be able to re-release Vlad III.This kind of thing can't be handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. management, and the secret agents under Fury's command are indeed very professional, but they don't understand magic, and it is easy to cause some unnecessary accidents.In order not to arouse Fury's objection, Merlin did not tell Fury about the source blood at all, he only told his director that the legendary vampire had been eliminated.Anyway, Fury's understanding of vampires is still at a little more level than ordinary people, he knows that real vampires are not afraid of crosses, they will be injured by holy silver, they will also be injured, and they will also die, and it is not as magical as the legend, but about the source blood, which is very mysterious and rare in the vampire community, Fury is difficult to know its secret.The time to calm down and do research always passed quickly, and by the time Merlin stopped the first phase of his research, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.He touched his stomach, and he was a little lazy and didn't want to cook by himself, so he changed his clothes and planned to go to his cousin's house for a meal.But just as Merlin was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that a car was quietly parked in front of his house.Moments later, there was a knock on his door.Merlin opened the door and saw a beautiful girl in an exaggerated blood-red dress, with an ornate pendant, and a red handbag, standing at the door of his house.The young lady looked very young, extremely tall, and when she wore high heels, she was almost as tall as Merlin, which was amazingly tall.You must know that Merlin has been strengthened by the Super Soldier Serum, and his height has approached 1.9 meters.The young lady was dressed in elaborate makeup, her cheeks were round, with a little baby fat, and her eyes had the style of an Eastern European lady, and she had beautiful brown eyes, and her long silky black hair was draped over her bare shoulders, which, together with the close-fitting silhouette of the gown that night, exposed her perfect figure.Overall, this is a girl that you can't forget when you see it.But when the beautiful woman came to the door, Merlin did not have much joy, on the contrary, there was a slight disgust on his face."
In the light of what we've just done, I don't think a high-ranking pure-blood vampire would visit me in a friendly evening..."
Merlin glanced at the lady in front of him with an astonishingly slender waist, and said, "So, where are you hiding your weapon?"
Will you draw your crossbow and shoot me in the eye the next moment?
”"You're laughing, Lord Merlin."
In the face of Merlin's malicious ridicule, the graceful lady did not get angry, on the contrary, she showed a very peaceful smile, turned sideways, bent slightly, and made a "please" gesture to Merlin."
To the High Duke Elisa.
By order of Lord Makinos, I have come to invite you to a dinner party at the High Family's estate. ”Probably seeing the slight astonishment on Merlin's face, the young lady asked in a low voice, "This is a dinner specially arranged for you and Lord Fury, and the invitation was delivered to Lord Fury yesterday...
Mr.
Merlin, did you not receive the invitation?
”"UhhhhhThinking of this, Merlin nodded, and he said, "Yesterday, I was a little busy, maybe I did miss it."
But since Fury will also go, it would be rude for me not to go, so please allow me to change my clothes and wait a moment. ”"Of course, you are free."
The pretty young lady smiled, two small dimples on her face, and said to Merlin, "You can call me Nissa, and I will take you to the manor." ”"Nissa?
Nissa.
Maquinos?
”Merlin glanced at the redstone Venus ring on the girl's finger, which was a sign of the Supreme Family's direct lineage, and quickly recalled the information of the Supreme Family in his mind, and after a moment, he said to the girl, "You are the daughter of the Supreme Duke?"
”"Yes.Your Excellency is my father. ”Nissa smiled softly and said, "I still have an older brother, but he is staying in Europe to take care of the family affairs. ”"Well, I've heard about you and your brother."
Merlin turned and walked back to the living room, ready to change clothes, and without looking back, he said to Nissa, "Of course you can say this on the way, wait a minute, Miss Nissa, I have to pick a suit that suits your aesthetics." ”A few minutes later, Merlin, who had changed his clothes, walked out of his house.He wore a tuxedo-like gown, a not so "exaggerated" piece of clothing he found from Vlad III's collection, but compared to the simplicity of modern suits, this style that was popular hundreds of years ago still has a lot of small accessories that Merlin is not used to."
Well, it's good taste."
Nissa usually opened the door of the limousine for Merlin, and while sitting next to Merlin, she motioned for the driver to drive, and then looked at Merlin's outfit, complimenting: "The classic dress design popular in Europe in the early 18th century can perfectly show the elegance of a man, and I vaguely remember that my father also liked this design at that time." ”"The 18th century?"
Merlin couldn't help but glance at the young lady next to him, who looked to be at most 25 years old, and said, "It's not so polite to ask a lady about her age, but I'm still curious, Miss Nissa, you...""
I was born in 1706."
Nissa didn't seem to care about Merlin's abrupt question, she put her red handbag at her hand, brushed her hair, and smiled at Merlin, "It was said that it was a peaceful autumn day.And on the day I was born, Augustus II happened to abdicate the Polish throne, which was a sensation at the time, so I remember it quite clearly. ”"294 years old..."
Merlin shook his head, he knew that the lifespans of these high-level pure-blood vampires were amazing, but Merlin still felt a little emotional when he saw Nissa's appearance with his own eyes.Vampires do carry a curse because of their bloodlust, but on the other side of the curse, they have things that ordinary people can't hope for."
What's it like to live in New York?"
After a few seconds, Merlin changed the subject, looking out the window at the night, and he asked, "It must have felt terrible to be forced to leave my homeland." ”"Actually, it's fine."
Nissa sighed, and she said to Merlin with a hint of melancholy, "After all, my family and I have lived in Romania for a long time, and I can still remember the lush old trees in my hometown, the forest spirits running between the trees, and the night that was cooler than New York...
My brother and I often rode horses to the mountain streams to hunt in the midnight moonlight, and my father would occasionally join us, and it was indeed a peaceful and beautiful life worth remembering. ”"But, how to say that?
Coming to New York isn't a bad thing. ”Nissa smiled again, this pure-blood female vampire was unlike any other vampire Merlin had ever seen.She loves to laugh, which makes her look a little more human, unlike those noisy and manic, erosive female madwoman vampires.Of course, this may also come from the excellent family education of the legendary blood clan."
I've seen so much more in more than 40 years in New York than I have in the last 200 years combined."
Nissa said to Merlin, "I've seen the city get bustling, populating, and there's more and more things to do and spend time.After getting used to watching the funny TV shows and more and more wonderful music of human beings, every late night of solitude has become less difficult. ”At this point, the vampire lady couldn't help but sigh: "At least spending the daytime in the company of the witty Oprah is much better than indulging in those boring works of art and drinking in the past." ”"Haha, that woman is really interesting."
Merlin nodded, he looked at Nissa, at this different vampire, and said, "You seem to have a crush on humans?"
”"Hmm."
Nissa nodded, and she said calmly, "I believe that humans and bloodlines can share this world together, they are equal to us, and there is no superiority or inferiority.Actually, that's what my father told me from a young age...
You may not know my father, Lord Merlin, but believe me, he is the kindest to humanity of all the Legendary Bloodlines that exist, and have existed in the past. ”"I've heard it."
Merlin said to Nissa, "That's why we're choosing to work with the Supreme Family at this moment...
You are not as difficult to get along with as your radical or depraved companions, and in fact your attitude towards humanity can be called friendly.By the way, Nissa, I heard that your father, the Most High Duke, once crossed paths with Dracula?
”Merlin asked, "Can you elaborate on that?"
Think of it as some of my personal curiosity. ”"Well, it's not a secret thing either."
Nissa frowned, and she said to Merlin, "But don't mention Count Dracula in front of my father, when I was not yet born, in the more distant times, probably in the 50s of the 15th century, he lived with Count Dracula in Romania, they have their own fiefdoms, they are both legendary bloodlines, and they have known each other for hundreds of years, it stands to reason that they should have a good relationship." ”"However, some of Count Dracula's ideas and practices are too extreme, and my father thinks that the legendary bloodline should not indulge in that stupid sadistic entertainment, but should lead by example, explore the mystery of the origin of vampires, and should not get too involved in the affairs of ordinary people, let alone treat them as food that can be tortured and killed at will.""
At that time, my father and Count Dracula had their own followers, because the conflict between the two became deeper and deeper, and finally directly triggered a civil war of more than 27 vampire families, which lasted for 33 years, and the result was the complete extinction of the vassal families on my father's side, and although Count Dracula was also heavily damaged, they had the upper hand."
Nissa sighed, and she said, "It was then that my father completely withdrew from the politics of the Blood, and he left the fiefdom with his mother and some servants, and migrated to the most remote areas of Romania, where he began a life of seclusion.He lived on the family estate and sheltered the surrounding land until more than 40 years ago, when Soviet soldiers used heavy weapons to destroy our estate. ”"Didn't you get revenge?"
Merlin asked, and Nissa didn't seem to want to talk about it, but in response to the guest's inquiry, she politely replied, "Just because we're kind doesn't mean we're weak." ”"Well, it looks like revenge."
Merlin nodded, and he whispered, "Miss Nissa, you just said that your father, His Excellency the Supreme Duke, has been working on the secrets of the bloodline, so can you reveal his specific research project?"
”"It's no secret in the circle of the Bloodline."

Nissa whispered, "Father has always been committed to overcoming the natural weaknesses of the Bloodline, and he believes that for the Bloodline to integrate into this world, we must first change our dependence on blood and be able to adapt to life in the sun.He tried magic, alchemy, and witchcraft, and in this era, human genetic technology finally brought a glimmer of success to my father. ”"Oh?
Merlin savored the words, "as if it sounded a great wish, it seems that your father was a ruler with great ideals. ”"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing him more and more
