9. Misleading -- for the Chu Xiaoqiu brothers [36/40](1/2)
Merlin was a little embarrassed.
A few minutes ago, the children who were used as their bargaining chips to threaten others may be the blood of their good friends. This is obviously a very embarrassing situation for someone like Merlin who values feelings.
But Merlin is not stupid either.
He is quite resistant to beautiful women, and he is not so stupid that he believes whatever a woman who is not familiar with him says.
He turned his head to look at Demian, then looked at Talia. The third bottle of dark green potion in his hand could not fall down. Well, although this green thing had nothing to do with the mutation potion at all.
It was just a glucose injection with some food coloring.
In other words, Merlin had no intention of hurting Demian from the beginning. He used the life and death of a child to get the information he needed, and his bottom line was not low to this level.
Merlin put down the crystal bottle in his hand, and he thought about what Talia said. Based on Demian's age, it is quite possible that he is Bruce's son.
Moreover, that guy Bruce is indeed quite handsome, and he is a man and beautiful woman when paired with Talia. The most important thing is that because of his childhood experiences, Bruce always has a gloomy temperament.
For women, that is almost an irresistible temperament.
If Bruce had an affair with Thalia in the few years he entered the Assassin League, there was a possibility that this was not impossible. The real question is, how could a person as smart as Bruce not knowing that he had a son inexplicably?
Merlin suddenly narrowed his eyes, grabbed his wand, threw a sleeping spell on Demian, causing the little guy to fall asleep. Then he took a step forward, and in this dim room, his whole person appeared in front of Thalia in a flash.
The "Dementer Kiss" on his left hand strangled Talia's neck hard, and lifted her whole body into the air in the shattering of the imprisonment curse.
The moment when the dementor kiss touched the skin, even if Talia was determined, she couldn't help but have a lot of demons in her heart. All the bad memories from childhood to adulthood broke through the ground like new buds after the rain.
Merlin strangled Thalia's fingers on her neck without any mercy. In the tighter and tighter fingers, Thalia's suffocation became stronger and stronger.
Under the threat of death, she began to struggle wildly, grabbing Merlin's robe and arms with both hands, but Merlin was unmoved at all. In just over a dozen seconds, under the double torture of suffocation and painful memories, Talia's struggle became weaker and weaker.
"woman!"
Merlin's right hand squeezed out a seal of Yaxi, which was interfering with the charming technique. He looked at Talia, and the eyes of the two looked at each other at this moment.
"Tell me everything you know!"
“legilimens!(Soul-capturing Curse!)”
With multiple weakenings, Talia, whose will is on the verge of collapse, could not resist Merlin's will exploration. At this moment, many memories in her mind were exposed to Merlin's eyes.
Merlin was quickly searching for those memory fragments, and soon, a very erotic picture appeared in front of him.
It was in a deep mountain wooden house surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Bruce and Talia were walking under the moon. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were. If it weren't for the black leather armor and the weapons they were wearing, it would definitely be a match made in heaven.
Merlin saw Talia sitting on the railing of the wooden house and handed a pot of wine to Bruce. The two of them talked, Bruce drank the wine, and then something wonderful happened.
Although from this picture, Talia was planning to lure Bruce into an intimate relationship, judging from their posture, Talia was indeed attracted by Bruce.
Then there is the second picture,
Talia, who had just given birth, was lying weakly on a bed.
In front of her, an old man with great momentum held the newly born Demien in his hands with great joy and laughed loudly.
The old man appeared in almost every memory of Talia, and his identity was obvious.
He is Lars Al Goul, the leader of the Assassin League, the leader of the demons, Talia's father, Damian's grandfather, and Bruce's mentor.
In Talia's gaze, her imposing father was always holding Damien carefully, as if she was holding the most precious treasure.
He put Demian in his hand and walked step by step into a pool with endless green light.
It seemed like a ceremony was being performed.
Then there is the third picture.
Talia hid in the shadow of a loft, eavesdropping on the conversation between Bruce and her father.
In this memory, Lars Al Goul let Bruce, who had become more vicissitudes, become his successor, officially become his son-in-law, take over his position in the future, and control the entire Assassin League, but Bruce decisively refused.
After a fight, the injured Bruce left the place where he lived for several years.
After Bruce's back, Talia stroked the hair of Damien, who had grown up, who was about 3-4 years old, who was sleeping soundly, and watched his lover leave the snow-capped mountain with a sad and decisive look.
"Swish"
Merlin let go of her fingers, and Thalia, who was dying, fell from mid-air. The female assassin collapsed on the ground like soft mud. Her eyes were filled with pain, and she couldn't even breathe independently.
Merlin squatted down and he clasped the breathing mask left by Carol on Talia's face.
With the injection of pure oxygen, the painful expression on Talia's face quickly eased, while Merlin stood up, he pulled out the wand at the waist, and when Talia raised her head, he looked at the hatred in the eyes of the woman in front of him, he shook his head and recited a spell in the sparkle of the magic light.
"Sorry, Talia, in a sense, you should be considered as my brother and sister's bad memories, so it's better to forget them."
"Let's start over when we meet for the second time."
"obliviate!(Forgetful Curse!)"
In the light shining at the top of Lora, Talia subconsciously intertwined her arms, as if she wanted to block the magic light.
But the white light lit up at this moment, like a brush, quickly brushing away all the memories she had just left.
More than ten minutes later, Talia opened her eyes blankly.
She found that she was lying on a comfortable bed, her clothes were intact and there was no sign of being hurt. Her son Demian was lying beside her, making a low and even snoring sound.
"You're awake"
A gentle voice rang in Talia's ears.
The instinct from the assassin made Talia jump up from the bed. Between her hands, two sharp short blades appeared in her hands. She looked at the person in front of her vigilantly.
Unexpectedly, Merlin in front of her did not hide herself anymore. Instead, he sat openly on the chair in this bright bedroom, holding a glass of water in his hand, holding a book next to him, frameless glasses on his nose, and wearing a gray casual suit.
He looks gentle and kind.
"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, Ms. Talia."
Merlin opened the pages of the book in front of him casually, and he ignored the sharp blade in Talia's hand, and said:
"But I have to talk to you about the contract between us in 1993."
After Thalia's memory was erased, it stayed at the moment when she and her son were swept away by Merlin in black fog. Now seeing Merlin's appearance as if she could talk about anything, Thalia felt relieved.
She put away her short knife and said coldly to Merlin:
"That contract has been completed long ago, isn't it? His Excellency Colson."
"For your child's sake."
Merlin glanced at Damien who was still sleeping. He pushed his glasses, and a chill flashed in his eyes. He said to Talia calmly:
"I'll give you another chance to organize language."
Talia couldn't help looking back at Damien, she lowered her head and took a deep breath, she said:
"Well, Mr. Dark Wizard, I admit that I was still very immature at the time and did play some tricks. Please forgive my youthful recklessness. But now I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully, so let us leave."
The beautiful assassin said to Merlin with his waist:
"I will send you the remaining map after we return to South Darbat."
"No."
Merlin shook his head, he set his eyes on the book in front of him, and then said to Talia in a tone where everything is under control:
"A contract that has been delayed for 8 years should always be some additional items when it is finally completed. As the price of your waste of my time, I want one more thing in addition to the remaining map of the Furious Warrior's Cane!"
Merlin put down the water cup and he whispered:
"It's just something stored in the treasure house of South Darbart."
"what would you like?"
Talia asked.
Merlin glanced at her, recalling the news he had received in Talia's mind, he said:
"Red Can!"
"impossible!"
Talia flatly refused.
This beautiful and cunning woman said decisively:
"Although I'm not a wizard, I also know what the level of Red Can means for a dark wizard. Your asking price is too high, Mr. Colson."
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Merlin stretched out her finger and shook her at Talia, and he said:
"You give me the map and the red can, and we will write off the grudges between us. At the same time, I will keep Damian's identity confidential."
"Damian's identity?"
Talia's expression changed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and said:
"Why don't I know, what other identities does my son have?"
"Oh? Since Miss Talia is so confident, let's reveal the answer."
Merlin shrugged, he took out a cell phone, dialed a number, and placed it in front of Talia. A few seconds later, the phone was connected, and Old Afu's voice came out of the microphone.
