A few minutes later, under the flattering escort of the targas, the three Merlins entered the Brimstone Harbor safely.Merlin also had a small money bag in his hand, which contained tinkling gold coins, each with a painful human face on the surface, and when he put the gold coins to his ears, he could hear the screams of those spirits.As the name suggests, each gold coin contains the soul of a fallen person, which can be used not only to buy things, but also to eat it when necessary."
I didn't expect that you were still the son of the third house."
Nissa looked at Merlin with some fear and some surprise, and she said, "My father never told me about it. ”"Grand Duke Makinos is here to protect you, Miss Nissa."
Merlin put the soul gold coin in his hand into his pocket, and he said slowly, "It's not a good thing to have a relationship with the third house.But you're also a little too slow to perceive, do you think someone of your father's stature would casually make friends with an ordinary human agent?
”"I just suspected that you had some kind of special inheritance, but I didn't expect that your origin would be so big."
Nissa glanced back at Targeth and said, "You scared the hell out of that bastard...
It's the first time I've seen lawless targs so embarrassed. ”"It's just a mid-rank demon with some strength."
Merlin looked at the Brimstone Harbor in front of him and said, "Does it think that if it escapes from Hell, it will be free from the shackles of the Lords of Hell?"
It's stupid...
You don't need to be afraid of it anymore, Nissa, my friend, it won't dare blackmail you anymore, if it continues to tease you, then please kick it in the crotch, don't be merciful, don't worry, I can help with all the aftermath. ”"Well, I should say thank you."
Nissa shrugged her shoulders, she looked at the bustling underground city in front of her, and she said to Merlin and Elsa, "Anyway, welcome to Brimstone Harbor."
The family has prepared a car, and the guests don't need to walk anymore. ”———————————— this is Brimstone Harbor, which is home to the largest concentration of aliens in North America.It's been a land of legends over time and the world has changed, but any legend comes with challenges, and now, the city has its own challenges.An ambitious legend wants to turn the free Brimstone Harbor into his own territory, and the people living in the city, as well as the city itself, are unwilling to give up resistance, but how long can they hold up in the shadow of Dracula?
Nobody knows.Merlin and Elsa sat across from each other in a slightly eccentric carriage that resembled the means of transportation used by the nobles of the Middle Ages, with the Red Stone Venus Ring of the High Family painted on a low-key black carriage, but instead of an ordinary horse, it was a strange pack beast covered in scales and horns and mane on top of its head.This is a city where aliens gather, and ordinary horses can't survive here."
When you told me that there was a car taking us to Blood Street, I thought I was going to get into a real car, a four-wheeled car with a steering wheel...", Merlin looked at the lavish interior of the carriage, and said to Nissa, "not a carriage that should go into the museum." ”"This is a different city, Merlin."
Elsa was curious about this medieval means of transportation, and she said as she flicked the golden tassel beside her, "Not all aliens are willing to keep up with the times, most of them still retain their own habits, and if this street is full of sports cars, it will surprise me." ”She looked out the window, and in the wide streets, there were carriages like the carriages of the High Family, magic carpets made by wizards, or some strange mounts, and in the sky above the carriages, some winged aliens swaggered past.The streets are flanked by shops and residential buildings of all styles, from minaret-shaped inns to steampunk-style weapon shops, from low taverns decorated with oak barrels by dwarves, to ready-to-wear shops built by elves under or on trees, to signs that cast magic, and to outliers who walk the streets openly without concealing their race.Goblins, elves, dwarves, vampires, werewolves, robed humans, as well as some ugly-looking lower demons and devils, inferior demons, satyrs, etc., this place is filled with almost all the aliens in the whole world, and here they are not like the outside world, they want to smash each other's heads when they meet."
Here, it reminds me of Diagon Alley."
Merlin looked out the window at the peculiar landscapes, the mix of architectural styles, which made the city's streets look somewhat scattered, but full of a sense of life, and he said, "But it's 100 times bigger than Diagon Alley...
I've heard from some wizarding friends that they occasionally come to Brimstone Harbor to buy some materials?
There's a black market here, right?
”"Well, there is."
Nissa said, "The black market is right in the center of the city, and it's the largest gathering place for magical materials and special items in all of North America, and I've heard gossip that the Magic Congress also has a portion of the revenue. ”"Well, as I expected."
Merlin nodded, he looked at the strangers in the street, probably because of the recent unquiet in Brimstone Harbor, the strangers on the street were in a hurry, many shops were closed, and some heavily armed strangers were patrolling.To the northwest of the city, a dark spire looms, and that is where Dracula controls."
It seems that the situation is really not optimistic."
He pointed to the distant tower and said, "Dracula's zone of control is there, right?"
”"Well, yes, on the other side of Brimstone Harbor."
Nissa said, "Near the edge of the half-plane, this is the cavern area, where dwarven shamans and psychics are guarded, and they have built a large and well-guarded line, keeping an eye on Dracula's movements. ”"That legend is not a reckless person, after showing his strength in the previous war, he did not set off a large-scale purge and confrontation, but began to win over those dark wizards, he is very keenly aware of the filth between the several major forces in Brimstone Harbor, and is dividing them, I heard that there are already some dark wizards in the caster's camp who worship Dracula's power, so they have defected."
Miss Vampire said with some concern, "But the situation will not be so deadlocked forever, maybe in a few days, Dracula's second wave of offensive will come."
Once his mutant breaks through the defenses at the edge of the city, the entire Brimstone Harbor will fall in a flying manner...
It's terrible. ”"I want to go down and take a walk."
Merlin suddenly said to Nissa, "If I'm going to inquire about it, where should I go?"
”"Sheep's Head Bar."
Nissa didn't stop Merlin, she shook the bell and motioned for the carriage to stop on the side of the road, and she said to Merlin, "Just three blocks away, it has an antelope skull on its signboard, and it's easy to identify, it's a place where some devils have set up, and it's a gathering place for news throughout the city, but it's a lot of people, and there are people of all religions. ”"It's okay, just get the news I need."
Merlin said, "Where is the Blood Street?"
When we're done gathering the news, we'll go there and meet you. ”"Blood Street is just east of Sheepshead Bar, about 11 blocks away."
Nissa said, "There are not many Bloods in the entire Brimstone Harbor, so when you see the Bloods wearing the Redstone Venus Ring, it means that you have entered the range of the Blood Street, and I will inform the subordinates here, and once they encounter you, they will take you to the High Family's stronghold in Brimstone Harbor." ”"Be careful, Mr.
Merlin."
As Nissa watched Merlin and Elsa leave the carriage, she admonished, "I know you're strong, I know you have your own means, but there are some frightening urban weirdos in Brimstone Harbor, some say it's inhabited by demigods, some say it's alleyways leading to hell, and some say it's actually a city of evil gods built on top of a sleeping city." ”"Anyway, try to keep a low profile.""
We'll take note, goodbye, Nissa."
Merlin waved at Nissa, and Elsa quickly put on a gray hood beside her, covering her face and eyes, and two swords were put into her magic pocket, as Nissa and the High Duke had said, witchers were not welcome in this alien city.The two men walked through the intricate streets of Sulphur Harbor, and in a few minutes, they were on the street beyond the Sheep's Head Bar.Sure enough, as Nissa said, the sign of this bar was very prominent, a huge antelope skull was hung from a sign with demonic words written on it, and the green light in the eye sockets of the antelope skull was still beating, and it looked evil."
Icarus, compare the positions."
Merlin pushed his glasses and said, "Is there still the material world where we are now?"
”A jumping cross-section of the ground appeared on Merlin's glasses, two red dots shone on the twisted lines, and Icarus's voice sounded in Merlin's ears: "According to the comparison of the coordinates of the ground, Mr.
Merlin, the place you are in should be in a karst cave about 1500 meters below the city of Manhattan, but according to the geological survey in recent years, such a huge karst cave terrain should not exist below Manhattan, so it cannot be ruled out that you have entered the warped space."
But it's also possible that the geological survey went wrong due to the obscuration of magic. ”The artificial intelligence's voice looked a little confused, and she said, "Icarus's database has too few samples of magical power to be tested for Icarus' definitive conclusions. ”"Well, it seems that in the wizarding world, you are not as magical as the real world."
Merlin chuckled and said, he glanced back at Elsa beside him, and said, "Girl, here are all aliens, vicious guys, once your identity is revealed, it is estimated that the aliens in the entire bar will attack you."

Are you scared?
”"Huh?
Afraid?
”Elsa looked up, staring at Merlin with beautiful green cat-eyes under her hood, and she looked left and right at the aliens who were in and out of the bar, as a witcher, she really rarely entered such a place."
With you, what am I afraid of?"
She said, "Won't you protect me?"
Just like it used to be. ”Elsa reached out and put her arm around Merlin, and she whispered, "Or are you going to leave me here alone and turn around and run away on your own?"
”"If I did that, Raven would kill me."
Merlin chuckled, and he walked to the sheep's head bar in front of him, and said, "Of course I will protect you, dear girl.No one wants to hurt you...
It doesn't matter who it is. ”The devil's bar is something special, Merlin and Elsa step into it, and they see all sorts of strange creatures partying there.A half-giant with three heads and a body shared, like a bug, with a large face on top of his head, a xenomorph who gulps down on a wine table, and two headless horsemen in armor and suits playing cards.On the table beside Merlin, three bad demons were drunk and fighting over a bad magic gem.The two werewolves stood in general and watched the excitement, as if one of the goblins was screaming and trying to make them fight more intensely.Several non-pure-blooded demons lay in the corner of the bar, looking at everything around them with a hazy gaze, but after seeing Merlin walk into the bar, they immediately checked out and left, seemingly unwilling to stay for a second.The most surprising thing was that Merlin was still on the other side of the bar and saw an acquaintance who shouldn't be here.Chase.
Chandler...
The chubby taxi driver who was good friends with Konstantin.He's just an ordinary person, how could he be here, still surrounded by a group of guys who are not ghosts and ghosts, drinking wine with a sullen face...
Did something happen to him?
Merlin remembered meeting Duppon some time ago, and the guy did ask Merlin to help Chases again, saying that his good friend had encountered something more troublesome.Now it seems that Du Pende's conclusion was correct.Chas will appear in the Devil's Bar in Brimstone Harbor, which is not normal by any means.Merlin didn't immediately ask Chas, he led Elsa to the bar counter, dragged a drunken troll off his chair, and sat down on it himself.Merlin knocked on the table and said to the bartender in front of him, who had six eyes, movable tentacles on his chin, and no nose or mouth, "You're Perry, right?"
I'm a friend of Archduke Makinos, and I've come to you for some news. ”"I don't know anything."
The bar, with its tentacles on its chin, stared at Merlin with its six eyes, spoke in an urn, and then continued to wipe its glass with its own wrists and feet.Merlin frowned and said, "But I haven't asked yet." ”"I don't care!"
The strange creature said, "Even if I knew something, I didn't know anything."
Lately everything has been strange, everything has been tense. ”The bartender named Perry stared at Merlin with three eyes, and the remaining three eyes at Elsa, and said, "Brimstone Harbor is no longer what it used to be, it's full of lying people now, a lot of softbones are leaving, and the softets are running west...
That arrogant legend is going to make some big noise, ominous things, I'm going to have to keep a low profile, I'm going to have to try to get out of it. ”"Okay."
Merlin half-squinted and said, "I'm only going to ask one question, you just need to answer whether I'm or not." ”"Ulysses.
Has Bloodstone ever been found in the city?
”Faced with Merlin's question, the bartender Perry stopped wiping his glass, and after a few seconds, the eccentric guy let out a weird laugh and said, "I can answer this question...
Because many people know the answer, that night, many people have seen him. ”"Ulysses is dead...""
He was killed by Dracula himself...""
Bang" The wine glass that Elsa was holding in her hand shattered at this moment.()
