In this living room, Merlin's straightforward and frank questions made Aesinus and Raven, who came from the Magic Congress, can't help but glance at each other.Before they came, they had met with Archwizard Samuel, and the Archwizard had hinted that there would inevitably be a wave of power reshuffle in Brimstone Harbor after the war, and it was a foregone conclusion that S.H.I.E.L.D. would take over the alien city that had been closed.No one can stop them, and no one dares to stop them.A dozen tactical missiles landed on the edge of the city to announce the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the aliens, and the fleet, which was still moored in the open sea, was always on standby, and as soon as Merlin gave the order, the heavy firepower like a rainstorm would completely wipe out those who resisted from Brimstone Harbor.It's not a human society, and even if Merlin kills every alien in the city, no media will jump out and accuse him.With the support of official forces, he can completely let go of it, and the heterogeneous people who are scattered and cannot talk about unity at all have no choice but to kill them.Unless, a few big people who live in seclusion in Brimstone Harbor intervene...
But Dracula's siege of such a big thing failed to alarm those bigwigs, which shows that they actually don't care much about the survival of that city.These old guys who have lived for a long time are all old people, and they will not come forward to fight with S.H.I.E.L.D., not to mention, S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s Merlin and his friends can kill Dracula, which means that they are also capable of killing one or more legends.So in this case, the order given by Grand Wizard Samuel to Aeginus and the Raven is simple.Cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. to take control of Brimstone Harbor and claim more benefits from it.S.H.I.E.L.D. can't take control of Brimstone Harbor alone in a short period of time, this is a city of millions of people, and the environment inside the city is very, very complicated, and the agents need help, in addition to the Supreme Family who are already on the side of S.H.I.E.L.D., they also need some help.In this case, even if there is a gap between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Magic Congress, at least in the alien world on the East Coast, the Magic Congress is still the best choice for S.H.I.E.L.D.The old wizard's judgment of the situation was really clear."
Huh?
Why don't you speak?
”In the parlor, Merlin sipped his tea, he looked at the two Aurors in front of him, and he said, "Can't make up your mind?"
Or do you want to ask for the opinion of Lord Samuel again?
It's okay, I can wait, but you'd better hurry. ”"No, we already have a plan."
Aeginus moved his finger as he said, "If we can, we intend to establish a Spellcaster's Guild in the Half-Plane Zone of Brimstone Harbor. ”"Yes."
Merlin nodded, and said calmly, "Then the place will be yours, and S.D.O.L.D. will symbolically place an office there."
But since you have taken something from me, you have to help me with my errands, friends, in 20 minutes, the representatives of the wild mages will go to Blood Street, I will not show up, you go talk to him!
”"I have only one request...
Well, two. ”Merlin stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of the Aurors, and he said, "First of all, the future Spellcasters' Guild must comply with the Alien Rights and Duties Management Act, and every spellcaster in the guild must file with the S.D.O.L.D., and I want their information, all the information. ”"Second, in the last 20 years, there have been many cases of dark wizards hurting people in New York City, and as far as I know, some of the murderers are hiding in Brimstone Harbor and living a happy life, which is not okay."
Merlin knocked on the table and said in a cold tone: "The majesty of order must be maintained by us on our own initiative, and within half a month, these guys must be sent to the alien court!"
”"The second request is fine."
The tall and lanky Auror Raven said, "This is a very legitimate anti-murder operation, and we are fully willing to cooperate."
But the first one...""
Some are too harsh."
Aeginus continued, "Just if the caster wants to register this item, it is estimated that it will attract the most resolute resistance from the wild mages.Many spellcasters become wild mages not because they are not strong enough, but because they are disgusted with the constraints of rules and regulations, they choose to break away from their own magical organization.In their parlance, they are all a group of people who seek freedom. ”"Freedom?"
Merlin savored the word, and said, "When Dracula came to control Brimstone Harbor, even the most cowardly evil demons rebelled against him, except for a group of spellcasters who secretly took refuge in the Dragon King, and they thought they were doing secrets, but you see, even I, who is not familiar with Brimstone Harbor, knows it. ”"Does the pursuit of freedom mean they have no bones?"
Merlin's tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "They can grovel to Dracula, but they are unwilling to bow to order, does this mean that they feel that they still have an advantage in the face of ordinary people's order?"
Do they feel that they are still like the wizards of the Middle Ages, who can trample on the civilization of ordinary people at will?
”"Bang" Merlin's fingers tapped the table, and he said to the Aurors in front of him without question: "This matter, there is no need to talk about it!
”"Go tell them what I want, and if they don't agree, you can go back to the Magic Congress to rest, and send someone to receive the half-plane tomorrow afternoon, of course, I hope you don't mind that it will become a ruin full of corpses."
Merlin's voice echoed in the hall with a hint of murderous intent, and after a few seconds, Aeginus's somewhat hoarse voice rang out, "Are you serious?"
Merlin. ”"Look me in the eye, old friend."
Merlin took off his glasses and said to Escinus: "I am very serious, and not a word is hypocritical. ”"Dracula's vampires who were enough to flood the city were dealt with by us with 15 tactical missiles, and I'm thinking about how much it would take to take out those wild mages... 10 pieces?
Enough, right?
”Merlin chuckled and said, "If they know how I deal with the unstoppable Death Eaters in England, then they should learn to obey our order from now on." ”"My friend."
Merlin stood up and patted his sleeve as he said to the two Aurors, "Tell them that the S.H.I.E.L.D. warning...
Only once!
”"If they choose to refuse, then tell them again that they can prepare for a war of extermination."
Ten minutes later, ——————————————————————— in the luxurious mansion of the Supreme Family in Blood Street, Merlin brought Hill, who had arrived from the headquarters, to meet with representatives of several forces in Brimstone Harbor.Everyone knows that this is a meeting to redivide the forces of the city, and there are many outliers who do not want to go through such a cruel reshuffle, but the problem is...
No one can ignore the human fleet parked outside Brimstone Harbor.And those ground forces that, under the cover of tanks and robots, have already received a quarter of the city.The soldiers armed to the teeth, and the holy silver bullets in the chambers of their guns, all announced something to the aliens of the untamed Brimstone Harbor...
Times have changed."
Did I see you at Gringotts?"
In the bright red carpeted living room, Merlin looked at the elf sitting across from him, wearing a small green dress and round-rimmed glasses, who looked like Dobby, a representative of the elf chamber of commerce, they were very similar to house elves, but they were two different species, they had good brains and liked to do business.Of course, some of the aliens will disdain them for calling them goblins, but these little ones don't care much about what others call them.All they care about is their own business."
Perhaps, Mr.
Merlin."
The goblin sitting across from Merlin whispered, "I did work at Gringotts for a while, and to the other races, we all look the same. ”There was a hint of fear on its face, which was normal, Dracula was already terrible, and the people who could defeat Dracula must be even more terrifying, and for goblins who were not good at fighting, these guys were people they couldn't afford to mess with."
Alright, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
Merlin glanced at Hill beside him, who handed a prepared document to the goblin, and the short-haired Agent Hill said softly: "The Goblin Chamber of Commerce has a monopoly on the commercial transactions of Brimstone Harbor, and we have no intention of interfering with the commercial system that you have formed, but you have also seen the current chaos in the city, and we hope to quickly restore order in the city, and commerce is a very important part of it." ”"We need your help."
Merlin calmly said to the goblin in front of him, "For this reason, we are willing to help you open up a market that you have not been exposed to...
Many commercial items made by heterogeneous species can also be circulated in human society, as long as they do some small camouflage. ”The goblin merchant nodded, but instead of answering Merlin's words immediately, it looked down at the papers in his hand seriously.After a few seconds, the goblin merchant looked up, looking at Merlin with a little surprise, and said in a shrill voice, "Will you help us build a new banking system?"
A second outlier bank that distinguishes it from Gringotts?

”"Yes."
Merlin said: "As long as you want, a large sum of money will be deposited into your bank immediately, as the first deposit in a bank opened by humans and aliens, and we will also help you promote your bank, and you can even do business in human society, as long as you can do it, absolutely no one will stop you." ”"Of course we do!
A big market of billions, oh, praise for the gold coins!
”The goblin merchant screamed excitedly, "Gringotts has had a monopoly on heterogeneous finance for thousands of years, and it is precisely because of their reluctance to open up more business that the economic system of heterogeneous society has become bloated and backward, and it is time to break this stupid situation...
Lord Merlin, oh, and this beautiful lady, I will return to the Chamber of Commerce at once, and I am confident that we will soon come up with a plan that will satisfy you. ”With that, the little man jumped out of his chair, bowed down to Merlin and Ciel in a somewhat comical salute, and then left the parlor under the escort of several slender elven rangers with bows and arrows and swords."
Look, Ciel."
Merlin watched the goblin merchant leave, and he said to Agent Hill beside him, "As long as you catch their personality traits, these aliens are no more difficult to deal with than humans." ”"Isn't it more appropriate to call it a character weakness?"
Hill chuckled and said, "Merlin, you are indeed a master of dealing with aliens. ”"The Goblin Chamber of Commerce is the best solution because their needs are obvious."
Merlin shook his head, he said with a bit of a headache, "But the next visitors are not so easy to dismiss, actually, I still don't know what these monsters want...
They're too low-key, and if it weren't for the Dracula incident, these monsters erupted with tremendous power, I wouldn't even pay much attention to them, a powerful, but very low-key organization, there must be some difficult needs to be carried out. ”He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the agent guarding the door, "Please let in the representative of the monster." ”The young agent faithfully carried out Merlin's orders, and moments later, under his escort, an old gentleman in an outdated black gown, with a felt hat and monocle, and a cane in hand, walked slowly into the reception room.Outwardly, he was an ordinary human being, without any anomalies, but when he raised his head, Merlin's eyes narrowed sharply the moment he made eye contact with Merlin."
Ciel, can you help me go and see how the wizard's negotiations are going?"
Merlin suddenly said something to Agent Hill, who was a little surprised, but under the guidance of the seal of Axifah, which Merlin had quietly pinched, she did not refuse.The short-haired agent stood up, quickly left the hall, and closed the door with his hand.So in the living room, only Merlin and the old man who represented the mysterious demon forces were left."
I've heard it before, and it's said that there are some old monsters living in seclusion in Brimstone Harbor."
Merlin looked at the hunchbacked, gray-haired old man walking slowly towards him in front of him, he reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nostrils and sniffed it softly, calming his mood.After a moment, he continued, "But I never expected that I would meet one of them so soon...", he looked at the old man in front of him, and he whispered, "So...
Unknown legend, what did you come to me for?
”Faced with Merlin's question, the old man, who looked so weak that he could even blow the wind down, sat slowly in front of him, and then took out his pipe, which was lit in the beating of purple flames.He took a drag on his cigarette, then looked at Merlin, and said, "You can call me a sphinx...
Mr.
Merlin, I have been invited by you to come for the sake of peace and order in Brimstone Harbor, but I don't really care about these things, and if you need them, the monsters will be on your side at once to clear you of all disgruntled forces in the city, including the stubborn dwarves. ”"They won't be a nuisance anymore at sunrise tomorrow for as long as you need them."
The old man, who called himself the Sphinx, smoked his pipe and said to Merlin in a serious tone, "And I am here to show you kindness. ”"And, entrust the powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. to help us, the poor remnants, find someone who is important to us..."
