Merlin didn't sleep well that night.He's been dreaming, and it's still very confusing.One moment I dreamed of a pure white city, inhabited by human-like life, with towering temples and strange buildings, and the next second the city was destroyed, and in the flames that rolled like smoke, all the magnificent scenery was destroyed.People scattered and ran, but they could not escape the calamity that fell from heaven.He also dreamed of a girl crying in the flames, a girl who was familiar, but Merlin couldn't remember seeing her somewhere.In the last part of the dream, he also saw the third house, the nightmare that had always existed in his heart.But in his dream, the situation of the powerful Sangong Demon was not very good, the super-level Great Demon seemed to be sealed by some kind of power, it struggled to be freed, but those beating silver rays, like chains, bound it to its own hell.Then Merlin woke up.He had rarely overslept, and the morning sun had shone through the window into the bedroom, and Merlin yawned and sat up from the bed in that warm light.As he washed, he thought about his dreams from the previous night.Most of the dreams of wizards carry some kind of sign of connection with reality, and they rarely dream, in fact, they rarely sleep.Communicating with magic in meditation or contemplating the secrets of magic is the best way for wizards to spend long nights.But Merlin didn't like that, preferring a good night's sleep to a dull meditation.After breakfast, it was already 8:55 in the morning, and there were only 5 minutes left before the start of work, which was definitely not enough for others to get to work in time, but Merlin did not have this worry.Between the light of the Transfiguration Charm, he appeared in his office the next moment.As 2001 drew to a close, Merlin had been busy preparing the annual work report, which is usually Coulson's responsibility, but Coulson had left Philadelphia a week earlier to form the S.D.O.L.D. branch.Melinda and Sharon also went to Boston and Miami respectively, and when these three branches were established, plus the headquarters in New York, the four points would form a preliminary system that would truly bring the entire East Coast under the supervision of S.D.O.L.D.The sound of a "bang" knock interrupted Merlin's typing on the keyboard, and he looked up and whispered, "Come in." ”The door was pushed open, and a blonde woman in uniform walked into Merlin's office with a stack of papers: "Sir, this is a document transferred from the Aegis headquarters, the results of the investigation into the trial operation of the first batch of Xibang clinic chain blood banks, and the preliminary version of this year's national heterogeneous information survey report, all of which need to be reviewed by you before submitting them to the director's office." ”"Put it there."
Merlin looked at the screen, he was having a headache about how to write this year's S.D.O.L.D. annual report.Soon, though, Merlin had an idea.He looked at the subordinate who turned around and left the office, and he said, "Barbie, you majored in sociology in college, right?"
”"Yes.Any questions?
Sir. ”Newly recruited Agent Barbara."
Barbie" Morse turned his head and looked at his superiors, who were currently on rotation with a rookie of agents, who was in charge of Merlin's office assistant this month.That was one of Coulson's previous jobs."
You must have written a lot of reports, right?"
Merlin asked, "Are you familiar with the format of official documents?"
”"I haven't written much before, but I can learn if I need to."
Barbie's personality is like a mix of Coulson and Melinda, who can do office work well and do field work well.Among this group of newcomers, Merlin was very impressed with her, this girl's appearance is also very distinctive, she is quite beautiful, and between her eyes, there is a signature beauty mole."
Very well, then you will be in charge of the annual work report of our department this year."
Merlin took out a key from the drawer in the office, handed it to Barbie, and said, "This is the key to the data room, you can go and see the results of our work this year, this report will be prepared in half a month, I think you should be fine." ”"I'm just a newcomer, sir."
Barbie took the key, and she said with some hesitation: "Isn't it too hasty to hand over this report to me?"
”"It's okay, I'm confident in your ability to do your job.You, Tripp and Mike, Lincoln, even though you're just hiring, you're all excellent. ”Merlin crossed his fingers and said seriously: "And if you want to integrate into this department and better understand our work, you need to find answers and methods from previous events, go for it, and let me see it after it's written." ”"Okay, then."
Barbie nodded to Merlin, who looked hesitant, but with Merlin's encouragement, she accepted the assignment and turned to leave the office.After handing over the headache to his subordinates, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he wasn't very good at dealing with words, and if Hill wasn't too busy, he would probably have asked Hill for help.And just as Merlin opened the documents sent and was about to pass the time, a sudden strong magic fluctuation made Merlin immediately raise his head.Then he saw a spatial vortex like a flame appear in his office.The portal opened with some difficulty, and three seconds later, a tall, thin figure appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.It's acquaintances.He was wearing a black straight suit, black hair and black eyes, his hands in his pockets, his cold face was expressionless, there was a touch of cold temperament on his body that could not be ignored, and the remaining magic flames were burning behind him, and he looked like a very powerful guy.Merlin put down the wand in his hand, he frowned, looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, and said, "Your Excellency Daemon, what are you doing here with me?"
Or in the same way as this invasion...
You can come in through the main entrance. ”In front of Merlin's eyes, the powerful half-demon Damon, the son of Satan entrenched on Wall Street, reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his suit, and said to Merlin: "The door to your place is too difficult to find, so I used the easiest way."
Did you put something in this basement that interfered with the magic?
It's hard to open the portal here. ”"Each floor has a spatial anchor that is used to stop the infiltration of magical creatures.We have to be a little more cautious in the face of those aliens. ”Merlin said, "But it can't stop a powerful creature like you, right?"
Mr.
Damon, I don't think you're here to talk to me, are you?
”"It's not...
You're a little too shivering in this place. ”Dimon looked at Merlin's cramped, rustic office layout with a little disgust, he reached out and pulled away the chair in front of him, sat across from Merlin with his legs crossed, his black eyes looked at Merlin, and he said, "I'm here to remind you of something." ”"Wait a minute."
Merlin picked up the water glass and said, "It must be quite a troublesome thing to be described by you with the word 'reminder', let me drink saliva first, and suppress the shock in advance." ”Ignoring Merlin's sneering jokes, Dimon said bluntly, "In New York, there's a gang of people plotting to summon your father...
Three House Demons. ”"Poof" Merlin squirted out of the water in his mouth, wetting the papers in front of him.He didn't care about this, but quickly stood up, wiped his mouth, looked at the expressionless half-demon in front of him with a serious expression, and said, "Are you sure?"
Where did the news come from?
”"My sister Satana told me."
Dimon glanced at his water-soaked trouser legs, the corners of his eyes twitched, but instead of getting angry, he suppressed his anger and told Merlin the news in detail.It was also a trouble for him, and he was now desperate to pass it on to Merlin."
Satana has been operating in Brimstone Harbor lately, you know Brimstone Harbor, right?""
Well, the monster metropolis of Manhattan's underground."
Merlin said, "I know the place. ”"While she was drinking in Sulphur Harbor, she met a guy who had been smuggled from hell and was about to flee New York, and Satana learned the clues from it in some less 'peaceful' way."
Dimon looked at Merlin and said, "Did you know that Sannomiya was sealed in his own hell 1 year ago?"
”"No, I don't know."
Merlin said, "If it were possible, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with that guy, and besides, I don't have the means to learn about the hellish dimension." ”"Well, you're really big-hearted."
Dimon sneered: "With your current attitude, even if the sons of the third palace besiege you here one day, I won't be surprised at all.In short, the third house was now unable to open the seal of the hell dimension from the inside, so it issued a command to its sons who were active in the human realm, asking them to open the spatial door to its hell in the human realm. ”"That's not right."
Merlin frowned and said, "Under the current situation where the passages of various dimensions are sealed, it is impossible for a super-level great demon like the Third Palace to enter the human realm with a physical entity.Even if someone here summons it, it won't work, unless that group of lunatics plans to slaughter all of New York and use the blood ritual to forcibly break the dimensional blockade...
But if it's such a big operation, I can't have not received a single message. ”"It's not coming to New York as a physical entity, Merlin, you know too little about your archdemons, and one day, it's going to kill you."
Dimon said in a cold tone: "A great demon like the Third Palace, as long as he finds a dimensional anchor in the human realm, it can be projected on one of his 'sons' in an incomplete state, I mean, in the way of the will. ”"Its purpose is not to invade the human realm, it is just to find the life that has set the seal, and then kill him or her, or tempt him in some way, to break the blockade of its own hellish dimension...
You must know, Merlin, the Dusk Council of Hell is taking place, the lords of Hell are seeking the throne of the King of Hell, and the Three Houses are also eyeing that throne. ”"That's what it's for...
It didn't want to miss out on the battle for the King of Hell.But even the three palaces of the will, as long as the heart is moved, it is enough to make New York bleed. ”The half-demon stood up, he straightened his collar, and said to Merlin: "What's more, the reason why you can evade the surveillance of the third house is because you don't have its magic power marker on your body, and it 'can't see' you, but once the will of the third house enters New York, your 'disguise' will will be invalid." ”"Presumably, Sannomiya will also be very interested in you, the son of a 'runaway'."
Merlin frowned the whole time, listening to Damon's warning, and after a moment, he raised his head, looked at the half-demon in front of him, and said, "I have a question, Lord Damon. ”"Say."
The half-demon put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently: "If you have any questions, just ask, I absolutely know everything." ”"When did you become so kind?"
Merlin said, "Although I don't have much contact with your brother, judging by your sister's last move in Hell's Kitchen to develop a cultist in your name, you two, it doesn't seem like such helpful people, uh, I mean, half-demons. ”"How am I going to explain that to you?"
A strange smile tugged at the corner of Damon's mouth, and he said seriously: "After all, I'm just an ordinary investment businessman on Wall Street."
And knowing that there may be a crisis and immediately telling law enforcement isn't it what a law-abiding businessman should do?
”"Besides, aren't you S.D.O.L.D. specialized in dealing with these occult crises?""

Or is it that Mr.
Merlin, the 'raven' who is famous in the alien world of New York, plans to sit idly by and let Sannomiya slaughter most of the city this time?"
Damon's teasing run made Merlin's expression a little unsightly, but after a moment, he still said, "You're right, it's my job."
But you certainly have your own purpose too...""
You're right."
Dimon nodded, he placed a folded piece of paper on Merlin's desk, and said calmly, "I do have my own purpose, but it has nothing to do with you, well, my duty as a law-abiding businessman has been fulfilled."
Good luck to you next. ”"Mr.
Merlin, you'd better be quicker to get rid of your crazy brothers..."
A flame sprang up behind Damon, and after a few moments, a vortex portal was formed, the half-demon waved goodbye to Merlin gracefully, and then Shi Shiran walked into the portal, and the moment he left, he turned back and winked at Merlin, like an old friend, and he whispered, "Time waits for no one."
Oh, by the way, there's also news that your sister Raven has arrived in the city, and maybe she'll help you get rid of the half-demons. ”Dimon was gone, and Merlin's eyes widened."
Sister?
I have a younger sister?
How did I not know?
”He picked up the paper that Dimon had left behind and flipped it open, revealing a vivid stick figure inside.It was the image of a short girl in a cloak, and below the painting, there was a name..."
Raven?
That girl from Todd Hill who warned me?
”"You really are..."
With a mixed feeling, Merlin reached out and pressed the phone on the desk, and said to Barbie, the assistant who was writing a report on the desk outside the office, "Barbie, open the arsenal, let the operation force immediately receive the magic weapon, and prepare for battle, and ask the Trident headquarters and the Magic Congress to send a response force to assist us." ”"Sir, in what name are you asking for assistance?"
Barbie asked with the rigor that an assistant should have.Merlin looked at the note in his hand, and he said in a complicated tone, "It's bad, it's bad...
