Merlin received an invitation.The address above is on a high street in Manhattan, which is not very far from Hell's Kitchen.The invitation to open was sent by an organization called the Continental Hotel, which Merlin had never heard of before.But after taking a closer look at the invitation, Merlin knew who had sent it.The invitation was printed, but at the end of the payment, there was a line of handwriting."
We look forward to your visit."
There was no beginning or end to the sentence, but there was a sharp font in the juan show, which Merlin had seen before."
Talia—" he tossed the invitation in his hand on the table, he said, "this restless woman, the revival of the Assassin League has only just picked up, what is her idea?"
”"But, there's no harm in going and seeing."
With this in mind, Merlin made a decision.S.D.O.L.D. is currently in partnership with the Assassin League, and the "eyes" of Thalia who are hidden from all levels of society are constantly aggregating information about the hiding, dangerous radical mutants, and then passing it on to Merlin.In exchange, Merlin acquiesced to their place in the new order of the alien world promoted by S.D.O.L.D.The Assassin Alliance, which had suffered heavy losses and lost its power, also took the express train of rapid recovery because of this kindness.At least in North America, their power is growing rapidly.New York was the headquarters of the Assassin League in North America, and Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Miami, where the S.D.O.L.D. branch was located.In Europe, the European base of the Assassin League was also "taken care of" because of the friendly relationship between Merlin and Gatler, and their forces there resumed their activities after a period of hibernation.In short, Talia took over the head of the demons, Lars.
Al.
Gul's power, this ambitious woman was lucky, and under Merlin's protection, all her plans paid off in the first place, and after the most turbulent period, Talia had secured the throne of the ninja master.Talia is really a very smart woman, unlike her father, she does not have the strong force and strong charisma of the Demon Head, she knows that she needs to use the power of Merlin and S.H.I.E.L.D. to complete the revival of the Assassin Alliance, so at least for this period of time, Talia almost did not refuse Merlin's request.Whether it's tracking down the remnants of Hydra or finding radical mutants, the Assassin Alliance under Commander Talia has been of great help.Their powerful information-gathering capabilities saved Merlin's agents a lot of time in tracking down clues.This cooperation is mutually beneficial, but it is temporary, and as the Assassin Alliance grows stronger, S.H.I.E.L.D. will inevitably find a way to put a shackle on the organization that operates in the dark.But that's for later, at least for now, when both sides are still in their honeymoon phase."
I don't know if that woman will invite Bruce."
Merlin picked up another document in his hand and looked through it, thinking, "Maybe there will be a rekindle between them?"
And Damian sandwiched between them, hehe, it's interesting to think about. ”"However, it seems that this banquet is going to be attended by a female companion."
Merlin rubbed his forehead: "I don't know where Elsa is now...
Alas, forget it, take Hill with you. ”———————————————— a few days later, another weekend arrived.Changed into a decent black suit Merlin, drove his two younger sisters to the opening site of the newly built Continental Hotel.When they reached the place, Mary.
Agent Hill was already waiting for them there."
Ciel, this dress suits you perfectly."
Merlin opened the car door and looked at Maria, who was wearing a long black dress, holding a handbag, and had her hair and makeup done.
Agent Hill, he unabashedly praised, "You're also dressed up beautifully today. ”"Really?"
Hill flicked her long skirt that looked a little tight, as an internal agent, Hill doesn't often do field operations, and unlike Natasha, she can naturally blend into various environments.She always wore a uniform that looked smart, and when she didn't participate in much entertainment, it was unusual for Hill to dress like this.But Merlin is right, Hill tonight is indeed very feminine."
Really, don't be so nervous."
Merlin held out his hand to Hill, who hesitated and put his hand on Merlin's arm, and the two looked like a couple."
Think of it as work."
He said to Hill beside him, "You're a good agent, and I'm sure you can do it perfectly." ”"Hmm."
Ciel took a deep breath to calm her emotions and said to Merlin, "Director Fury asked me to observe this force, and he is also curious about the Assassin Alliance. ”"I'll introduce you to Thalia."
Merlin looked at the brightly lit hotel in front of him, and he whispered, "I'm sure that the cunning woman is also looking forward to your arrival." ”Since Talia generously sent an invitation to Merlin, this proves that the new ninja master does not mind more and more in-depth exchanges and cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D.Of course, Merlin won't bring Fury directly to the banquet, on the one hand, Fury is very busy and probably can't spare time, and on the other hand, it is a little too strange for two men to come to the banquet."
He's really hearty."
Behind Merlin and Ciel, Lorna, who was wearing a beautiful dress, whispered to Raven, who looked indifferent to her, "Elsa, Zatanna, and this Ciel, and Carol in his diary...""
They're just colleagues."
Raven glanced at Agent Hill, who was laughing and talking to Merlin, and there was a hint of displeasure in her cold tone, she said, "It's their job, but he'd better be restrained tonight." ”"Let's go, let's keep an eye on him."
Two little girls like dolls followed Merlin, Lorna grabbed Merlin's other hand and looked around curiously, I have to say that this hotel opened by Talia is really good just from the outside.It's not as luxurious as other high-end hotels, it adheres to the usual décor style of the League of Assassins, and in the low-key and restrained, it has a different taste.Its entrance is not large, only enough for 4 people to pass side by side, and after entering the hotel there is a long hallway with carpets, and the lights above are also very gentle, a little dim, not so harsh.On the walls around the lobby of the hotel, there are various murals, and reliefs from Europe, Africa and Asia add a touch of humanity to this hall.It seems that not many people were invited to the opening ceremony held by Thalia, but for agents like Merlin and Hill, they can easily see the strong background behind the Continental Hotel from these invited people.As Merlin's gaze turned, the identities of the invited guests around him continued to appear on Icarus's lenses, and after connecting to S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s database, Icarus's ability to collect information was almost infinitely magnified.Merlin pushed his glasses, he tilted his head, and whispered in Hill's ear: "There are at least six big businessmen from Europe in the hall, as well as several executive directors of famous foundations, and I also saw representatives of several senators.The Osborne Group, the Quinn Group, and...
Wayne Group, it seems that Ms.
Thalia has not been idle in the past few years, and she has found a lot of strong partners for herself. ”"I'm more curious about what this hotel does?"
Hill stared at the security guards in suits and sunglasses around her, she could sense a murderous aura in them, and she said, "Are those the Assassins of the League of Assassins?"
When will these people be able to act publicly?
”"It's probably a reform of the way of living."
Merlin led Ciel to the front desk, and he whispered, "It seems that not only us, but the ancient League of Assassins have also begun to change their form of existence in the new era, and they are trying to catch up with the changes of the times. ”He took the invitation from his pocket and placed it at the front desk.The bald-headed, eye-dwelling black deacon in front of him picked up the invitation, looked at it, and then took out a key from the counter with a normal face, respectfully handed it to Merlin, and said, "Please go to room 204, where the lady is waiting for you, honored guest." ”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, he picked up the key, and walked to the elevator with Hill and the children, and after a few seconds, the elevator opened, and Merlin saw a familiar guy."
Merlin?"
In front of Merlin's eyes, Tony, dressed in a gray suit, was holding the waist of a lady in a long red dress, and the moment the elevator door opened, the playboy was surprised and said, "Why are you here?"
”"I'm more curious, what are you doing here?"
Merlin asked rhetorically, "Do you know what this place is?"
”"Of course I do."
Tony snorted, and he said, "That's why I'm here, I have some spare money, and that pretty lady Talia needs money, and I need some intelligence, so we became friends." ”"Friends?"
Merlin shook his head, and he whispered, "Then you have to be careful, Tony, and be careful that Thalia eats you with the flesh and bones." ”"Tony."
The lady in the red dress next to Tony seemed to sense the not-so-friendly relationship between Tony and Merlin, and she interrupted Merlin and Tony's conversation appropriately, saying, "Won't you introduce me to this gentleman?"

”"His name is Merlin."
Tony said to the pretty, freckled young lady beside him, "It's mine...
Well, acquaintances, barely friends.As for his profession, he was a clandestine worker, a guy who was hard to get close to. ”After saying that, he said to Merlin: "This is Potze, my girlfriend and assistant. ”"Hello, Miss Potts."
Merlin pushed his glasses, and Icarus's lenses quickly updated Miss Potze's information card and added new notes, and Merlin said to the blushing lady with a gentle smile, "I've rarely heard Tony announce his girlfriend so officially, he can change girlfriends faster than he can change clothes, you have to keep an eye on him, I mean...
It's best to let him restrain his personal ramblings, especially when he starts planning something dangerous. ”Merlin glanced at Tony and said, "I persuaded him, and it seems that he finally made a regrettable choice." ”"You're talking a little too much, Merlin."
Tony took Miss Potze's hand and walked out of the elevator quickly, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Every time I see you, it makes people angry." ”"Trust me, so do I."
Merlin, who stepped into the elevator, said to Tony, "Have a nice night." ”The elevator door closed the next moment, the elevator rose smoothly, and after a few seconds, the elevator door opened again, Merlin took Hill and his two sisters, to room 204, he reached out and pushed the door open, only to see that there were already several guests in the big house.As the owner of the Continental Hotel, Talia was sitting in the living room of the suite, talking to a silent man.When Merlin pushed the door open, Talia, who was wearing a burgundy dress, also turned around, and she said to Merlin with a smile on her face, "Come on, Mr.
Merlin, Bruce and I just talked about you." ”"You really invited him."
Merlin greeted Bruce, who was sitting in a chair, and then said to Talia, "What is this?"
Is there a resurgence of old love?
”"There's a baby."
Talia glanced at Damien sitting on the couch and the two girls behind Merlin, she brushed her hair and said to Merlin, "We'd better be serious when we talk...
I don't want to make a bad impression on the kids. ”As she spoke, she reached out and tried to touch Raven's head as a gesture of kindness, but Merlin was quickly stopped.Raven had already pinched a seal in her hand, and the child didn't like strangers touching her."
If your father were here, he would never have ventured into contact with the most dangerous people here."
Merlin squeezed Talia's wrist and whispered, "I really doubt how you managed to survive in the treacherous League of Assassins, Talia, your vigilance is too bad, isn't it?"
”Talia also saw Raven's indifferent gaze, and the magic seal in the girl's hand, she took a step back, but not much embarrassment, she glanced at Merlin, and then at Bruce who stood up behind her, she said, "With you two here, I think I can properly relax my tense mood...""
Come on, sit down."
Talia invited Merlin and Ciel to sit on the chairs, and Lorna sat on the sofa on the other side, and she looked curiously at the Damien, who was sitting next to her, with a cold face, and crossed her arms, just like a little adult, and said, "Little brother, why don't you speak?"
”As if he hadn't heard, Damian maintained his indifferent stance.Raven walked over and sat next to Lorna, she glanced at the cold Damian, she snorted: "Lorna is talking to you, it's really untutored, and you owe a beating!"
”Damien glared at Raven, but he still didn't speak, until this time, Bruce, who noticed the conflict between the children, said kindly to the two girls while holding the teaglass, "Don't worry, children, it's not that Damien doesn't want to pay attention to you...
For some special reason, his throat was injured, and he can't speak now. ”"Oh, that's pathetic."
Lorna glanced at Damian with pity, she quickly lost interest in this handsome little brother, reached out to pick up the remote control, and began to watch her favorite cartoons.Raven looked at Damian beside her from time to time, and she could feel that this black-haired boy also had a faint aura of Sangong magic.And at a young age, he has a killing temperament that does not match his age, and there are traces left by the real battle.He is very similar to Raven, both of them are the kind of children who have no childhood.This made Raven more and more curious about Damian.()
