Merlin hadn't been to Brimstone Harbor for a long time.He wore a long hood and walked around the street to the cries of the strange vendors.It is clear that the outside has entered the 21st century, but in this underground city, there is still a medieval charm remaining.The streets are not very spacious, with cool sports cars and old horse-drawn carriages running side by side.There are mottled iron signs on both sides of the street, but next to the weathered signs, there are neon-lit street screens.The blind werewolf crouched in the corner, the small table in front of it was filled with strange things, and above its head, a stereoscopic projection was a group of succubus girls with long legs dancing wildly.It was a nightclub that paid a lot of money for advertising.In addition to the traditional succubi, dark elves and goblins, I heard that there are special services from mysterious races...
In the bustling, life-filled streets, last night's hangover demon was dragged into the alley by a few goblins.Not far from them, several young men in pop shirts were holding up cameras to take pictures.A magic carpet and a drone collide in the sky, the carpet is still floating, but its owner has fallen to the ground, breaking his head and bleeding.And beside that half-demon, there is also the spark that burst when the drone crashed.This heterogeneous city beneath Manhattan is full of eccentric energy, and it's still as bustling and complex as he remembers.Merlin glanced at the street sign, and below it was the Redstone mark of the High Family.The vampires of the High Family, who rule the city, have completely abandoned their stronghold in the Bronx and moved all their forces to Brimstone Harbor.They have abandoned the ground, apparently not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the alien societies that are currently chaotic on the East Coast, and indeed on the entire North American continent.Although ravens are a thing of the past.But these old-fashioned vampires still live according to the advice left behind by the Raven Age.Looks out of place."
Nissa—" Merlin reached out and stroked the sign on the sign, and under the hood, he smiled slightly."
Sure enough, she's a smart woman."
The Most High Grand Duchess Nissa.She was an outlier who had almost completely witnessed the rise and fall of Merlin and S.H.I.E.L.D., Merlin could still remember the first appearance of the Grand Duke on her doorstep.She was wearing a long black dress, and she was extremely beautiful.Well, at that time, the Supreme Boss was indeed planning to send his daughter to Merlin's bed...
Ahem, I won't mention the old past.In short, Nissa backstabbed her father during the Sulphur Harbor incident.Because of hatred.Or maybe I saw through the cold-blooded nature hidden under my father's warm appearance.With Merlin's intervention, Nissa successfully took over the reign of the High Family.The archduchess, not as forgiving as her father, likes to use thunderous means to deal with everything that comes her way.While Merlin was still there, the Supreme Family was attached to S.H.I.E.L.D.After the demise of S.H.I.E.L.D., there were several times of chaos in Brimstone Harbor, but they were easily resolved by Nissa.She has new allies.Of course not, the eye of the sky will...
The Eye of Heaven will manage the affairs of the aliens on the ground enough to be a headache, and they don't have the ability to reach into the Brimstone Harbor for the time being.The new friends of the Supreme Family are the monsters.Those who also adhere to ancient norms and act within the boundaries of the Nightkin Treaty.They are rooted in Brimstone Harbor and have watched the city build almost from nothing.They're extremely low-key and never claim to be the owners of the city, but anyone with a little background in the city knows it...
In Brimstone Harbor, no one could do anything he wanted without the monster allowing it.The High Family and the Monsters have been getting along very well for the past few years.But in recent days, there has been some not-so-wonderful friction between the two.The gossip on the streets says that the monster has a new principal, and he doesn't seem to be dealing with Archduke Nissa very well.It is very likely that the two sides will part ways, or even merge with each other."
But what does that have to do with me?"
Merlin stood in front of a street shop, no longer listening to the voices of the aliens around him.He'd heard enough gossip from them.He reached out and played with the "precious" collectible that the antique shopkeeper, an old goblin with golden eyes, had placed on the counter.Eventually, his finger landed on a quaint, round piece of metal stained with patina-green rust.Seeing that Merlin seemed to be interested, the old goblin immediately chattered, "Good sight, this thing is the most precious thing in my collection, and I have paid a great deal of money to buy it from some cavemen." ”Speaking of this, the goblin looked left and right, it deliberately lowered its voice, and said to Merlin mysteriously: "Those cavemen said that they were dug up in an ancient tomb in England, and I heard that they had something to do with King Arthur, maybe, this is the legend...""
King Arthur?"
Merlin chuckled, he picked up the piece of metal, glanced at the old goblin, and said, "How dare you blow...", looking at the playful light in Merlin's blue eyes, the old goblin suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.Well, it's time to meet the connoisseurs.It didn't say anything more, stretched out its hand, which had only four fingers, and waved it in front of Merlin's eyes: "20 gold coins, you take it." ”"Pop" 2 gold coins of Sulphur Harbor were thrown on the counter, and the old goblin looked embarrassed, but instead of being angry, it shrugged its shoulders and put away the two gold coins with a calm face.It said to Merlin, "Forget it, I'll sell it at a loss...""
Don't forget to find money, boss."
Merlin played with the metal piece in his hand, he flicked the counter, and said to the old goblin in a serious manner, "You bought it for 1 gold coin, and I have 20 more silver coins..."
It shuddered, stopped talking, and turned to take a handful of silver coins.But when it turned around, Merlin was no longer visible.It looked down blankly and saw a line of glowing text on the counter."
Just kidding, give you 100% of the profit, you'll make a lot of money."
The beating words dissipated the next moment, and Merlin tossed the rusted piece of metal on his fingertips in the crowd.There is no magic at all about this thing, and no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the ground.But it gave Merlin the same breath as the Cybertrons...
This thing does have secrets.Although it must have nothing to do with the old goblin nonsense King Arthur.Ten minutes later, in the "Midnight" bar in the northern district of Sulphur Harbor, the succubus Mandy who was napping at this time was listlessly putting on her makeup.As the manager of this bar, she doesn't need to do the job of escorting drinks, but it was a big man who came to have fun last night.Mandy had to go on her own."
Alas, the work of a courtesan is not easy to do."
The little succubus lamented, flicked her tail delicately decorated with a jewel, and then opened the wardrobe, ready to choose a dress for herself that suited her mood.But just as Mandy took off her pajamas with SpongeBob SquarePants' face on them, the sound of banging on the table suddenly sounded behind her, and Mandy was startled.The little succubus pulled up a piece of clothing and held it in front of her, and she turned around, expecting to see someone of unknown origin, but she only saw a vague shadow.It's like looking at a person through a curtain of water, and you can't see it clearly."
I'll give you a word."
Merlin leans against a stuffed toy of an unused, almost 1-to-1 replica of a rainbow pony in Mandy's room.He blurs Mandy's vision with his vanity.He looked at this succubus with an increasingly hot body, and he could still remember the scene when S.D.O.L.D. was first established, when he went to Midnight to ask for help, he teased this stupid little succubus.Merlin is happy every time he thinks of Mandy, who worked there at midnight, choosing to use his body to hold down a grenade that doesn't explode at all for a job.Speaking of which, after so many years, Mandy, a little succubus who is still an adult, is still a mess, and his brain doesn't seem to have become too good.But she was the most comfortable of all the outliers Merlin knew.After so many years, she is still working for Midnight, but she has changed from the original front desk girl to the manager of the chain store.He has no ambition, no interest in power, no need to think about the influence of the general trend of a different society, and does not need to consider the disturbances of the outside world, so he hides in the brimstone harbor and lives in this bar.Where is this a succubus who likes to incite ignition and make trouble unreasonably...
This is clearly the life trajectory of a human office worker with no ambitions."
Well, this is probably a fool who has a fool's fortune."
Merlin glanced again at Mandy's seductive waist and flicking little tail, where he wasn't going to show up.With what he's planning now, getting involved with a little clever little fool like Mandy can only end up dead.Let her live this peaceful but fun day."
I'll give you a word," Merlin repeated, he pointed to the chair on the side, and the little succubus who covered his body with his clothes nodded his brain, and sat down obediently on the chair.She was also afraid.There may be a lot of people who can jump out so casually and scary in Brimstone Harbor, but there are definitely very few stunned people who dare to make trouble in the midnight bar.It's a ruthless character.Well, she definitely can't beat it, so it's better to instigate a wave."
Rocket, that raccoon, remember?"
Merlin looked at Mandy and said, "It says it bought the purest diamond in the universe and plans to propose to you the next time it comes back to Earth, I mean...
You guess you've had enough, and if you can meet such an honest person, you might as well just go for it. ”"Huh?"
Mandy was a little sluggish.She frowned and thought for a few seconds before Ai Ai looked up.She looked at Merlin and asked with a hint of fear, "Rocket, who is that?"
And diamonds?
What diamond?
Is someone going to give me a diamond?
Why?
”"......"
Merlin looked at the little succubus in front of him speechlessly.All right.Rocket guy, this trip is planted.But in other people's emotional affairs, Merlin is also inconvenient to meddle.He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I've got it, you can see what to do for yourself." ”With that, he's going to get out of here.But after taking a few steps, he thought of one more thing, when Carol came back from the stars, it was the Rockets who did him a favor.And when Carol took Superman and Superwoman to exterminate the Skrulls, it was also Rocket who was risking his life.Although the raccoon is very social, he does not behave very well.But it's friends.Well...
Let's help.Merlin turned his head, his ears twitched as he looked at the little succubus behind him who was getting dressed.Voices of the Heart...
He wanted to see if Mandy was playing dumb or if she really didn't remember Rocket at all."
Wow, I'm so scared, I'm scared...
Thankfully, that guy was tricked out of the way by me. ”"What's going on with that bastard Rocket?
It's just a word, do you need to find such a hellish person?
And diamonds...
Bah!
A diamond wants to deceive the old lady, how can there be such a good thing?
”"But it has a heart...

It's not that you can't play with it anymore, that wild little mouse is quite funny. ”Mandy's inner thoughts came to Merlin's ears.This little succubus...
It's a slippery play.But it seems that she and Rocket do have a bit of a dewy relationship, and this matter can be done here, and Rocket is not without a chance.However, if you have to subdue a succubus, you have to ensure that the hat on your head is not green, and the rocket is estimated to have suffered in this life.Merlin shook his head, he was going to leave.But the next moment, a thought flashed through Mandy's mind to stop Merlin."
Well, there's been a lot going on lately."
The little succubus complained in her heart: "That monster princess looks stupid, she is definitely not the opponent of the scheming Nissa, I still don't participate, but Midnight Daddy's side...
He looked like he had made up his mind to take the fire. ”"Mess up New York's 19 reservations in one fell swoop, and then profit from them...
He's going to rebel!
”Mandy lamented inwardly, "Is the title of the East Coast Voodoo King really that important?"
”"Alas, I can't figure it out, this job doesn't seem to be kept, my mother doesn't want to go crazy with him, why don't you go to Nisha's nightclub and ask?""
With the qualifications of the old lady, how can you be a manager again?""
Smack" Mandy was going to have a lot of inner drama, and a hand suddenly slapped her on the shoulder.Mandy's tail thumped straight in fright, like a frightened cat."
Mandy, you want to find a new job, right?"
A similar voice sounded behind the little succubus who was about to cry, and the voice said softly, "I'll give you a job." ”"Midnight location, interested?"
