Another dark night, on the edge of Brooklyn, Merlin pushed open the door of a small bar, and then heard melodious country music coming from the bar.He looked up and saw a young singer in a cowboy hat, holding a guitar, standing on a wooden platform in the middle of the bar, offering music to the small number of guests.Merlin didn't alarm the others, he found a quiet corner and sat down, asked for a drink, then leaned back in the booth and closed his eyes, as if enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.Frankly, the singer-in-residence, who looked a little down, had a good singing voice.There is a hint of vicissitudes that do not match his age in his slightly hoarse voice, and the only fly in the ointment is that the song that should be melodious and pleasant is interpreted by his voice, with a slight sadness.It's like reminiscing about a youth that has dissipated."
Hey, handsome guy."
At the beginning of the second song, a girl dressed quite "cool", swaying her slender waist, came to Merlin's side.She gave the young man with rimless glasses a very seductive smile, and she put her hand on Merlin's shoulder with a slight flirtation, and she whispered, "Drink alone." ”"Sit there, let me be quiet."
Merlin didn't speak, he still had the mandrake leaf in his mouth, so his voice came from the sounder wrapped around his wrist.The index finger of the left hand with a black glove was raised, and a triangle was drawn in the air, accompanied by the escape of the faint magic power, and the eyes of the young lady who came to talk to him immediately became confused.It's like being hit with a stick, and the whole person's expression becomes sluggish.It's like a marionette.At Merlin's orders, she sat quietly and obediently in the chair opposite Merlin."
It's convenient."
Merlin glanced at the dull-looking young lady in front of him, and he nodded with satisfaction.He didn't use any magic spell just now, and for weak ordinary people, there was no need to use magic spells at all.He was using the Witcher's Seal, which he had just learned.According to the information left by the white wolf, the magic seals used by the demon hunters are actually simplified versions of the spells of the wizards.As mentioned earlier, many witchers are squibs and have a talent for magic, but they can't release magic.And after they passed the grass trial, they officially obtained a transcendent body, and their bodies could produce magical power, so those weak talents had a place to use.While the Witchers can't use the same powerful magic as wizards, with these simplified sigils, they can create spells that closely resemble wizard spells.For example, the Axifah Seal that Merlin just used is a simplified version of the Imperius Curse, which can control ordinary people who are not strong-willed in an instant.And while the effectiveness of most of the seals is poor in the eyes of formal wizards, without the aid of alchemical potions, some seals are almost as effective as even the most low-level magic tricks.But the advantage of the Sigil is that it is convenient, eliminating the need for complex chanting syllables and mana models, and is so simple that it can be used with just one gesture.In the heat of battle, the time saved is enough to make the difference between life and death.And in Merlin's opinion, the lower limit of such a thing as the magic seal is very low, but the upper limit is also very high, and he knows from the information left by the white wolf that for those griffin school witchers who have devoted themselves to research, the power of the magic seal they use with the help of potions is already comparable to that of a formal mage.In addition to the Yaxifa Seal, which manipulates spirits and creates confusion, the magic seals commonly used by witchers are: Igni Seal, which is equivalent to a simplified version of the Fierce Fire Charm.The Alpha Seal, which is equivalent to a simplified version of the Crushing Charm.The Quinn Seal is equivalent to a simplified version of the talisman charm.The Ardennes Seal, the equivalent of a simplified version of the Spell of Imprisonment.The magic seals of the witchers imitated all very practical spells, and it seems that the original demon hunters really chose these spells to imitate, and the poor magic power in their bodies was almost used to the extreme.But magic, this thing is just a burden for Merlin, he doesn't need to be careful at all.Therefore, with the infusion of sufficient magic power, these magic seals, which have poor effects, also show the power of real spells in Merlin's hands.Merlin sat in the little-known little bar, sipping his wine one by one, and then refilling it until almost an hour later, when the bar's resident singer finally stopped, and he seemed to want to take a break."
Give it to him for me."
Merlin took the pen from his pocket, scribbled something on the napkin in front of him, and handed it to the young lady in front of him, who was still at a loss, and took it in his hand, and immediately stood up, staggered, and walked towards the resident singer who was sitting at the bar.Ten seconds later, the young singer in a black cowboy hat sat down on the sofa opposite Merlin with a glass of wine.He looked at Merlin, who was silently drinking in front of him, and said, "Who are you?"
Sir, why do you know my name, and also my family information?
”Merlin didn't answer immediately, he raised his glass and drank the little that was left.When the singer was a little impatient, Merlin reached out and took off his glasses, and he looked up at the singer with his own eyes that seemed to dance with the light of the embers.The latter clenched his fists almost immediately, and a slightly sharp light appeared between his fingers."
Hello."
Merlin crossed his fingers, with a hint of a smile on his face, and although his mouth was closed, a strange voice still came from the sounder: "My...'
Brother'. ”"I'm not!"
The singer gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "I'm not your brother to hell." ”With that, he stood up and was about to leave."
Did you banish those who were looking for trouble before?"
Merlin had no intention of leaving, he looked at the young resident singer in front of him, and said, "Or did you kill them and take away their power...
Mind telling me about the story between you and Sannomiya?
How did you become its 'son'?
”"I'm too busy to have time to talk about this with you."
The singer with a cowboy hat, a son of the third house hidden in Brooklyn, said with a cold face: "Get out of here!"
Otherwise, you're welcome!
”"You're welcome?"
Merlin looked around, the business of this small bar was not very good, but at this time, there were about a dozen people in the tavern plus the owner and waiters."
Are you sure you're going to be rude to me here?"
Merlin said in a leisurely tone: "I personally don't care, but these ordinary people, these people who are very familiar with you, see your true face under the exterior, what do you think, what do they think?"
I'm also curious if you're going to kill them like a real half-demon to hide your own secrets. ”Merlin took a piece of money from his pocket and pressed it under his glass, he stood up and walked to the door of the bar, and he said, "I mean, Mr.
Anthony, let's find a new place to settle the matter between us." ”With that, he walked out of the bar.A few minutes later, on the quiet and deserted street near the Hudson River, behind Merlin, Anthony, the resident singer in a cowboy hat, carried his guitar on his back and walked step by step into the dark alley.He stopped 10 meters away from Merlin, he crossed his arms and said to Merlin with an unkind look: "I don't know who you are, but I don't want to fight you, I just want to live quietly." ”"You know it's impossible, Anthony."
Merlin shook his head, and in the slightly muffled sound of the sounder, Merlin said, "From the moment you accept the power of the Three Palaces Demon, the quiet life is insulated from you. ”"Hell!"
The resident singer cursed, and he shouted, "I fled from Mexico to New York, and you still don't want to let me go!"
This power is not what I want at all, and if I could, I would rather never get it myself!
”"As far as I know, no one who can have anything to do with a demon deserves pity."
Merlin stretched out his left hand, and in the night, the Demon Hunter Silver Sword Vlad, whose sword shone with bright blue runes, jumped into Merlin's hand with a hiss, and he said in a deep voice, "Me is the same, and so are you." ”"Kill and be killed, this is the fate of you and me, and the more you try to escape from it, the closer you are to it.But before we get started, maybe we can share our own story. ”"What do you say?
My 'brother'. ”Singer Anthony looked at the silver sword in Merlin's hand, he took a cautious step back, and between the ten fingers stretched, the dark red light that was flowing at the fingertips condensed into a sharp, knife-like energy weapon.That seems to be the power he got from the Three Palaces."
I'm not afraid of you!"
Anthony, who had a guitar on his back, said, "In Mexico, I killed a madman who came looking for trouble.In Florida, I killed the second one, and you are the third!
”"You absorbed all the orange shards from their corpses?"
Merlin asked, "Are you starting to be half-demonized?"
”"It has nothing to do with you!"
Anthony shouted, and in the rapid rotation of his body, the dark red energy throwing knives shining on his fingers whistled and stabbed Merlin's body, and the speed of those throwing knives was extremely fast, crossing the speed of sound the moment it was shot.At a distance of 10 meters, Merlin couldn't even react.He raised the silver sword Vlad, and in the swing of it, blocked the attack of the three throwing knives, but the remaining seven throwing knives pierced his body at the same time.The scattered body of "Huh" smoked at this moment, and under Anthony's surprised gaze, Merlin's lower body melted into the ominous scorching smoke, and he rushed towards Anthony like a tumbling smoke, carrying a silver sword."
Huh" The sword was swung up, but it was slashed into the air.In the blink of an eye, Anthony's body disappeared from its place, and when it reappeared, it was already standing on a roof more than 40 meters away from Merlin.The cowboy singer with the guitar on his back looked at Merlin condescendingly, his fingers swinging, and the red blade like a storm roared and smashed into the dark smoke below.This is a force that originates from the same source, but manifests itself in very different forms.This is a war between the two "sons" of the Three Palaces."
It's useless."
Merlin shouted, "Anthony, no matter how fast you are, no matter how sharp your throwing knife is, it can't hurt the wind."
Stop, maybe we can talk, we can settle this matter peacefully. ”"Peace?"
Anthony's sarcastic voice, in the rapid movement of his body like a shadow, appeared on the ground behind Merlin, and he said: "There is no way to be peaceful...
Do you think I haven't tried?

”"Either you die or I die, between us who are cursed, there is no third way!"
As Anthony's voice grew deeper and deeper, an extremely sharp force quickly awakened behind Merlin.Merlin's body spun in circles in the air, and he looked at the Demon Child behind him.After realizing that ordinary throwing knife slashes could not hurt the smoky Merlin, Cowboy Anthony, who had already killed two "brothers", immediately invoked a more dangerous and manic force.Derived from the power attached to his cursed soul.Under Merlin's slightly regretful gaze, the muscles on the cowboy song, who was still a little handsome before, quickly twisted, like the transformation of the mad dog Morris who was killed by Merlin back then.Layers of dark red scales appeared on Anthony's torso, and under the cowboy hat, his brown hair stretched rapidly, and soon formed a mane-like tissue around his neck and shoulders.And his body also became huge and heavy between heavy breaths, like a brute warrior full of muscles who had come from hell to earth.On the top of his head, two pairs of demonic horns, one large and one small, poked out from the sides of his forehead, and above his eyes, a pair of small red eyes also appeared on his forehead.Four blood-red, square-lined eyes...
This is the symbol of the three palace demons.In front of Merlin's eyes, a demon man who was more than 4 meters tall and whose arms were like hideous dragon claws stood up in the sharp aura that was wrapped around his body.The moment it completed its transformation into a demon, the ground beneath its feet and the walls behind it were like being thrown into a storm of blades, and almost instantly, those solid rocks were cut and shattered."
You've completed your demonization?"
Merlin looked disappointedly at the demonized Anthony in front of him, his left hand holding the Demon Hunter Silver Sword clasped tightly, and he said, "It's a pity...
As you said, there is no third way between us. ”"That's our destiny."
Anthony the Devil's four eyes were fixed on Merlin, and on his distorted, scale-covered face, a column of scorching spark-like air erupted from his nostrils, and he, no, it, said with a loud voice, "From the beginning, there was no third way!"
”"Come on, brother, let me kill you, or, you give me...""
