2. Brotherhood of Shadows

At midnight, Gotham City is not the Gotham of Merlin.

But another Gotham city.

On the second floor of the "Black Cat and Gun" bar in the dock area, in an elegantly decorated private room, several men were playing cards, holding empty wine bottles and a few refreshing side dishes.

It was cooked by Saiber himself. This rash man had a rare skill in cooking, which made all the three friends who rushed to the card game tonight very satisfied.

“Huh?”

Seber, who was sitting next to Merlin, sniffed, and he looked like a hound that had found the bones, with a hateful smile on his face.

He reached out and threw down a card, and said to the other people in a weird tone:

"Our raven has a special fragrance."

"Although it has almost disappeared, I can still smell it. I guess, that belongs to a beautiful girl, like a seductive cat in the dark."

"Haha, it seems that a wild little female cat is making a nest on the raven's bed."

The figure wrapped in the light smiled brightly, he said:

"What a happy life, it's like being shining on the road ahead by the holy light. A warrior with warmth in his heart will never lose..."

"Bang"

A card was thrown on the table, and Cyber ​​turned his head and looked at the light, and he said in a cold tone:

"You lost the warrior with a warm heart."

"And, we don't like your Holy Light Theory very much, Dick. So, don't take this opportunity to preach. Are you unhappy about other things?"

“Additional.”

With a blindfold, Terion, Dawn Blade threw the cards in his hand on the table, and then began to shuffle the cards with steady movements.

He said:

"The Dark Blade Legion has been successfully pioneering the Raven Universe, and the first batch of reincarnation seeds have taken root and sprouted. I have to thank you, Merlin, for your generosity that makes me feel ashamed."

"It's all the past, I won't talk about it."

Meilin looked calm.

He picked up the wine glass and Cyber ​​filled him with wine. The rash man had a strange smile on his face. He coughed lightly and looked at the steady-faced Terion.

He said in a weird tone:

"A few days ago, my man accidentally met a girl with moonlight when he was fighting in the multiverse on 19874..."

Hearing this, Terion's expression changed slightly.

Seber continued to say that he said to the other two fellow villagers in a story-telling tone:

"The girl claims to be the Moonlight Titan and has a very nice name."

"Her name is Elune."

The Overlord glanced at Terion again, the latter's expression was still steady, but his fingers were already trembling.

"Hehe, she asked us about the whereabouts of a heartless man. My subordinates told me about this. What about me... I am such a righteous person, naturally I can't watch the cute girl being bullied, so I..."

"Shut up!"

Terion reached out and grabbed Seber's shoulder, and he looked at the Overlord with a murderous look, and he said:

"You leaked my whereabouts?"

“No, no.”

Cyber ​​was not afraid, he said with a smile:

"I just told her that Terion Dawn Blade appeared in the Raven Universe... As for your whereabouts, I swear, it was not what I revealed."

"Okay, I revealed it."

Merlin put down his wine glass, and he looked at Terion, who had already pulled out his weapon, shrugged and said:

"And how can I turn a blind eye to the disoriented girl?"

"I invited her to my house as an elder, and invited the poor, dusty child to have a meal, and then I brought her to this world."

"Little Elun is outside the bar now, she is waiting for you."

Merlin glanced at Terion and said in a playful tone:

"Although she insists on claiming to be your daughter, no matter how I look at it, she is like your...little lover."

"Terion, your unfaithful incident happened. The girl came to the door. Why are you still staring at us? Why don't you go and comfort her quickly?"

"Wow"

Dick, one of the four Shadows, exclaimed, exclaimed, and said:

"What a terrible sin, it's so wild, Terion, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually... The Holy Light will definitely punish you, the King of the Death Realm."

"You...you group of bad friends!"

Terion stood up and cursed fiercely, but immediately opened the door and rushed out. Behind him, the three guys laughed very vulgarly and were very happy.

"I booked something in your place..."

The three of them drank another round of wine. While eavesdropping on the conversation between Terion and Elune, Seber said to Merlin:

“Are you done?”

"Well, it can locate, track, ingest, store, and withstand the magical objects that are eroded by cosmic storms and voids."

Merlin took out two white jade objects from his pocket. They were of different shapes, but they looked very beautiful and mysterious.

Under the lights in this box, there is a confusing light.

Seber picked up one of them and looked in front of him. He said in a complimentary tone:

"Good, great creations, it's true that it's right to give them to you."

But instead of taking everything, he took one piece and left the other piece in Merlin's hands.

The king stood by the window, secretly looking at the edge of the street below, Terion, who was talking to a girl, said to Merlin:

"I think you must be curious, what I asked you to make these things. And Dick, you must be curious, why I suddenly insisted on pulling you into this small circle."

Seber breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned around and looked at the two fellow villagers in front of him. The bracelet decorated with Infinite Gem on his wrist lit up a halo, blocking the room.

His expression became serious, he said:

"You should have heard that I have entered the Wall of Origin and returned to my world..."

"yes."

Merlin nodded, and he responded:

"Although I just entered the multiverse, I have heard of it. To this day, the experience of Overlord outside the wall of origin is still a hot topic of discussion in the multiverse."

"Someone said you saw the Creator there?"

Dick also shook the holy light around his body. Only then did Merlin see clearly that this guy was a tall guy like a warrior.

But compared to the reckless Cyber, he has a little more gentleness and kindness from the soul level.

It makes people want to get close to each other involuntarily.

The Light Walker played with his wine glass and said to Cyber:

"But I prefer that you should go to the world we were born through the Wall of Origin."

"Yes! Our hometown."

Seber nodded, and he said:

"The problem of Wall of Origin is very complicated, so I can't explain it more."

"What I want to tell you is that I did go to our hometown, my Dick, Terion, and you, Merlin, the common hometown of the four of us."

"That is the world of observers, and we were all members of the observers. Our race is very strange. After the body dies, the soul will not dissipate, but will embark on a new journey."

The overlord said calmly:

"The life cycle of most observers will be completed in their world, but there will always be some lucky, or unfortunate guys who have escaped from the established life cycle due to various accidents."

"For example, we are lucky. Before being swallowed by the void, we entered other worlds and continued to complete the cycle of our souls, but more observers were not so lucky."

Speaking of this, Cyber ​​looked at Merlin and said:

"You are one of them, Merlin, when I discovered you, your soul was almost swallowed up by the void. That was a terrible encounter."

"Indeed, I've been curious about this question."

Merlin looked at Cyber ​​and said:

"Why did you save me? Just because we are from the same place? You shouldn't be so kind, right?"

"I'm very kind, you don't have to doubt this."

Seber boasted, and he pondered for a moment and said:

"Okay, indeed, the purpose of saving you was not that pure."

"I entered the Wall of Origin and was trapped in my hometown. I asked the observers to send me back. They helped, but also made a request... or a request is more appropriate."

Cyber ​​pointed to the sky and said:

"The observers do not want to see their fellow citizens suffer in the void, and they ask me to find ways to save more souls like you."

"Merlin, rescue the souls that were swallowed by the void and send them into a new world."

"Although I can no longer return to my hometown, observers still hope that my fellow countrymen can continue their soul journey in another world, which is why I save you."

"I'm trying to complete their request. After all, the observers have helped me a lot, and they have helped you a lot."

Siber supported his hands on the table and said to his two fellow villagers:

"This life is very difficult, I can't do it alone. I found Terion, but you see that he also has his own troubles, and we need more people to participate."

"Dream God is the spokesperson of observers in the multiverse, and that guy is also trying his best to help me. We are a group, and today, I also ask you to participate."

"Save more fellow villagers from the tragedy of the multiverse."

"etc!"

Merlin reached out to interrupt Seber's speech, saying:

"Do you save the souls of fellow villagers and then put them into the game of fate as pawns like what you did to me? If so, I won't help you."

"No, no, your experience was just an accident."

The overlord said with a serious face:

"I can guarantee that in the future, I will not interfere in the life of any fellow villager, and you will not interfere... What we have to do is to bring those lost souls out of the void and send them into any multiverse."

"Their development will have nothing to do with us. Strong people can make careers everywhere, and weak people will live their lives honestly."

Cyber ​​put his waist on his back and said very calmly:

"We are just saviors, and we are not nannies."

"Of course, in order to ensure that they can adapt to the new world, we have to prepare more for them."

The overlord took out the strange thing made by Merlin and bumped up and down in his hand. He said to Merlin:

"This thing, observers call it 'golden finger'."

"A very appropriate name, if you put this thing into the void, it will take the initiative to find the lost observer souls and mark them."

"We take them out according to the mark, and throw the strange objects together with our souls into any world. This thing can protect their souls and escape the erosion of cosmic storms."

"I also commissioned Merling to add a little feature to prevent them from dying in a dangerous other world at the beginning."

"If we can make good use of it, the strong will naturally climb to a higher level. Perhaps one day they can rely on themselves to complete transcendence and find us through these things."

Seber held the jade in his hand and added:

"Even a weak person who is not outstanding can live well on it."

He said to the silent Merlin and Dick:

"Not everyone can pass through the Wall of Origin. When I entered it, I almost died and my soul was destroyed."

"We are all lonely ghosts from the same world. We can no longer go back to our hometown. We are like a group of travelers wandering on the sea. Naturally, we must watch over and help each other in this strange and broad world."

"This is a large 'members mutual aid club'."

Seber straightened up, he said:

"It does not involve any plots of the stars, nor does it have any conspiracy or intrigues."

"We are all lucky people, and now we must give our luck to those unfortunate fellows."

"If you are willing to join this career, then you can start from now on. This group of stars is too big and relying on the four of us, even if you add the Dream God, it is not enough."

"This job will be very difficult, tedious, and there will be no reward."

"I won't force you to join, but..."

"I'll join!"

Meilin took a deep breath, and he looked at the cold jade in his palm, and said:

"The God of Dreams suggested that I find a long-term hobby to survive the endless long time. I have been thinking about whether there are any hobbies that suit me recently."

"Now it seems that I've found it."

Raven looked at Cyber ​​and said:

"I also want this opportunity to see the scenery of the multiverse. I have enough people to use on hand. The first batch of strange things will be made quickly, and I will throw them into the void as quickly as possible."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you in the early stage of the experiment."

Seber nodded cheerfully, and he said:

"After you have improved this system, Terion and I will join in."

"Dick, what about you? Are you coming? Your power of the Holy Light is effective in healing souls infected by the void."

"why not?"

The Holy Light Walker chuckled, and he reached out to pop a golden light, and he said:

"It sounds interesting, maybe more pillars can be discovered."

"I have a premonition that Seber and Merlin, our 'members', will definitely become an incredible force in the multiverse in the future."

"That's what happened in the future."

Merlin stood up, he raised his glass and said to the other two:

"Get a drink, for our common cause!"

"etc."

Seber walked to the window and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Hey, Terion, and that crying girl, come up! Everyone is going to drink."

A moment later, Terion, with a stinky face, walked into the room with a young girl in a hooded veil. He looked at everyone in front of him and said to the girl behind him:

"You have seen Merlin. This is Cyber ​​Hawk, and this is Dick Don."

"Oh, where did the little girl come from? She's so beautiful."

Seber squeezed his eyes and hit Merlin's shoulder. The Raven snorted and said in a low voice:

"Be serious, don't scare this girl."

"Come on, Terion, let's drink this cup together!"

Merlin raised his glass again, and Dick next to him suddenly said:

"I think we should give ourselves a loud name, rather than call it the Apostle of the Holy Light?"

"Tsk, what's the Holy Light?"

"Yes, the holy light is not good, it's too religious."

"We are cultivators hiding in the shadow of stars, opening up the way for our compatriots! Let them be born in the shadows and grow in the sun."

Merlin rubbed her chin and said:

"So, Four Shadows?"

"No."

Terion glanced at the girl behind him, and he let out a long sigh, raised his glass and clinked his glass with his compatriots, and he said:

"Call the 'Shadow Brotherhood'."

"Hehe, this name is good!"

Seber stretched out his thumb and waved it, then the four of them raised their glasses and drank the wine in their hands.

In the curious and surprised gaze of the girl Eluen, the Shadow Brotherhood...
Chapter completed!
