14. New Clues (Part 2)--For the Brick Brothers【41/40】
"puff"
The scorching blood spurted out wildly from the wound behind the death knives as the sleeve sword pulled away.
But Merlin, who was accompanied by the shadows, was a little disappointed.
This perfect assassination attack did not reach the target at all. When the sharp Saint Silver Snake pierced into the body of Deathkill, Merlin felt an obstacle, blocking the sharp blade piercing his heart.
That should be the bone plate that grew in Death Knives' body, which protects the deadly position of Death Knives.
But that feeling of passing by with death also made Death cry out in a cold sweat at this moment.
He was once the best assassin warrior in the Assassin League, and the best disciple of Lars Al Goul. He is proficient in many assassinations, but he never thought that one day, he would die at the hands of another silent assassin.
"Swish"
At this moment, Death Knell gave up his last blow to Lars Al Goul. He flashed out of the burning ruins battlefield at the fastest speed.
In essence, Death Bell Slade is also a person who cherishes his life.
Taking advantage of the retreat of Death Knell, Talia rushed into the fire, carried his seriously injured father, and rushed towards the depths of the collapsed nine-story pavilion ruins. It should be the mysterious Pond of Sarah, which is said to heal all injuries.
Merlin, who failed to complete the perfect assassination, was not hiding himself. He appeared from the shadow and stood in his position just now. He raised the sword in his hand, placed it under his nostrils, and sniffed it gently.
There is no doubt that this is human blood, but Merlin smelled a trace of the blood that should not belong to the blood of ordinary people.
He had once smelled this unique smell of blood.
It's in New York.
In the blood of Death Knell, there was a thin breath of dragon blood.
"Tree bee"
Meilin shook the slightly sticky blood on the Xiujian. He took the Xiujian back, then turned his head and looked at the direction where Death Knell left.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
He finally found clues related to Richard and Mary's death. The body of the warrior who fled the battlefield contained the research results of Richard and Mary.
He has something to do with Hydra, no doubt!
"Swish"
Merlin's figure disappeared from the spot in the light of the shape-shifting spell. Under the surveillance of the raven Victor flying in the sky, the warrior's escape direction was always under Merlin's control.
The moment his body appeared from the twisted light, the blue-gray long sword in his hand roared towards Death Knell's neck.
The running death knives felt the gloom coming from behind his head. He shrank his body and rolled on the spot, dodging the sword in a slight difference.
"Swish"
Two black blades were held in the hands of death knell. He looked vigilantly at the attacker behind him who was holding a mechanical sword, wearing a mask and a hood, and in a gray suit. He said in a low tone:
"The times have really changed. Even the always proud Assassin League has begun to hire foreign players, so who are you? Friend."
Merlin did not answer.
He used a more direct way to answer his answer.
The dark magic flowing in Merlin's body boiled at this moment, and the sublimated power seed was activated, allowing his figure to appear behind Death Knell in a nearly-sonic form in the blink of an eye.
"clang"
The sword that stabbed Death Knives was blocked by the black blade, but Merlin's left hand, carrying the "Dementor Kiss", pressed against Death Knives' neck.
At this moment, Death Knell felt like he fell into an ice cave. The happiness and hope in his mind were quickly absorbed by the invisible black hole, and endless pain and troubles began to fill his spirit madly at this moment.
"You ask me for my name?"
In that crazy dark experience, Death Knell heard a cold sound.
"Don't be so polite, just call me a snake catcher."
"cruio! (Diamond)"
The next moment, in the madness of the rapid declining will, another extreme pain that erupted from the inside of the body, like a lit bomb, rose in every cell of the death knell, making his body tremble. At the same time, his head was forcibly rotated by invisible magic, and then, he saw a pair of
Burning eyes.
"legilimens!(Soul-capturing Curse)"
Under the multiple tortures, even though his death knell was far more firm in his will, under the bombardment of Merlin's merciless soul-calling technique, a gap was opened in his spiritual world.
Merlin had a lot of time to slowly pry his mouth open, but he still used the roughest method.
Because this hurts more!
This can bring more pain to the murderer in front of you.
Do evil things and want to die easily?
Not that easy!
"let me see."
It was like a hand reaching into the water, madly stirring the pool water to make the waves flow. Merlin was almost in a destructive way, forcing the secret from Death Knell's mind.
He quickly browsed the memory fragments in Death Bell's mind. This guy who was strengthened by some kind of enhanced serum made with the blood of a tree bee was struggling very hard, not only the physical desire to survive, but also the protection of secrets in his heart.
Such mental pressure and unyielding struggle under heavy pressure, the collision of the two forces at the level of will will cause the soul of Death Knit to suffer a crisis of disintegration, but unfortunately, Merlin doesn't care.
What he wants to obtain from Death Knell is the truth!
Soon, a scattered picture of memory appeared in front of Meilin.
It was a ship, a ship sailing in strange waters. The guy named Wilson Slade was "escorted" by several bodyguards in black suits and walked to the deck of the ship.
Merlin saw the outline of the city behind the ship, which was New York, no doubt.
In front of Death Knell, there was a middle-aged lady dressed in simple clothes but strong aura. She turned her back to Slade, looking at the sea in the distance, and said to the mercenary behind her:
"Mr. Slade, this time I invite you to join us."
"you?"
Slade said in a frivolous tone that a mercenary should have:
"Who are you? The most important thing is, what are the benefits of joining you?"
“There are many benefits.”
The lady turned around and she was no longer young, but her short white hair was still neatly furnished, wearing a necklace made of white pearls around her neck, a golden wedding ring on her fingers, and most importantly, a red brooch on her blue blazer's chest.
At a rough look, it was a red rose pattern, but among the stamens of the rose, it was the logo of a skeleton octopus.
Obviously, this is a Hydra, and it seems that he is a senior executive.
This lady with a strong aura said to Slade in a leisurely tone:
"We've been observing you for a long time, Mr. Slade, we know what you want."
"oh."
Slade was surrounded by several big-sleeved bodyguards, but he was not afraid. Instead, he pulled a chair open, sat on the chair, and placed his feet on the table in front of him. He said to the woman:
"Then tell me, what do I want? I'll think about it and join you."
"It's very simple, you're expelled from your home, you're wandering outside and wanting a new home."
The lady didn't care about Slade's rudeness. She carried her hands on her back and said to the famous mercenary in front of her:
"We will give you funds, give you resources, and help you get what you deserve, and I mean, we will help you control the now-decline alliance of Assassins."
"Oh."
Slade didn't appreciate it, he said sarcastically:
"Everyone can say big talk, but even if that organization has declined in recent years, it is not possible for any cat or dog to rush up and take a bite. I am bluntly speaking, ma'am, if you keep saying these meaningless things and keep planning a beautiful blueprint for me, then you are wasting our precious time for each other."
"We can also give you the strength you need!"
The lady's expression became serious, she said:
"It is very difficult to fight a living person with a mortal body, Mr. Slade. As far as we know, over the past decade, you have planned several attacks against the mysterious head of the demon, but all have suffered tragic failures."
"To fight against the non-human, you must first become a non-human and become a member of us, Slade. Your tactical talent, your sense of war, your combat skills, and your control methods are all what we need. We can help each other, you don't need to fight alone."
"We give you the key to power, and you can make ours stronger."
Slade's expression also became gloomy at this moment. He was silent for a few minutes, and then said to the woman who tried to attract him:
"let me see."
"I won't talk to you anything unless I see it with my own eyes!"
"All right."
The lady showed a smile of winning. She raised her wrist, looked at the time of the watch, and said to Slade:
"Get a good rest, Mr. Slade, this ship will carry you to your land of destiny, and by then you will hold the key you need."
"Well, frankly, I'm looking forward to it."
Slade stood up and said to the lady with a blank expression:
"But don't let me down. I get angry and I'm scared."
"Haha, you're really as funny as the rumors."
The lady reached out to take her hand from the bodyguard and walked towards the cabin under the protection of several bodyguards. She watched her leave, and at the last moment, Slade suddenly asked:
"What should I call you, ma'am. And, what is your organization?"
"Cut out one head and grow two heads in place."
The lady turned around and said something unspeakable to Slade in a sincere tone. She smiled, just like the kind old lady looked at her son and whispered:
"As for me, you'd better call me the 'baron'."
"Swish"
In the mess of Nandalbat, Merlin, who was just about to open the second memory fragment in Death Bell's mind, suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next second, a black light like a poisonous snake roared and hit Merlin's position just now.
A cold and cold energy freezes everything within 5 meters in an ice burst, and the death knives trapped in the place were instantly frozen in the place. Under his black and red hood, there was a trace of residual ferociousness.
“avadakedavra! (Avadassauerk!)”
The moment Merlin appeared in another place, the magic wand in his hand pointed at the sudden attacker, and a green with gloomy and dead energy rushed into the sky.
There, there was a blurry body, but it could barely be seen that the figure of a woman was floating in the air.
Just now she threw out the magic and interrupted Merlin's memory reading of Death Knell.
Faced with this disturber, Merlin took action without any mercy. The most destructive curse of Avadasauri whistled through the air, but it penetrated the vague woman's "body" and hit the mountain wall behind Nandalbat, causing a small avalanche.
"It's an illusion."
Merlin suddenly turned around, and behind him was only a frozen land, and Death Bell Slade, located among the ice, was gone.
"It's you again!"
Merlin had a gloomy face and came to the place where Death Knell was just now, with a unique trace of magic left in the air.
This trace is not unfamiliar with the breath of Merlin.
The last time he read the memories of the Hydra member "banker", it was this magic that triggered the curse in the soul of the "banker", interrupting Merlin's excavation of the Hydra's secret.
The other party must be a powerful black wizard
No, she is very likely not a wizard, but an existence who masters higher-level magical knowledge.
At least in Merlin's understanding of wizard magic, he had never seen a curse similar to that mysterious Hydra witch, and the casting method of this illusion sneak attack.
It is precisely because I don’t understand that it is difficult to be prepared for.
Even Victor, who had been floating in the air, could not find the arrival of this disruptor.
“But it doesn’t matter.”
Merlin moved his fingers. Although Deathkill was rescued, Merlin was a little angry, but he had already got what he needed.
Mercenary Death Knell, and the "Barcelona" who was active in New York.
There are two more breakthroughs for those Hydras hiding in the dark.
“It’s time to act.”
Standing on the surface of the rapidly melting ice, Merlin took out his cell phone. He wanted to call Fury, but while dialing, Merlin hesitated.
This matter cannot be solved through the internal channels of SHIELD. It is difficult to say whether these channels are still safe. Moreover, if it has been confirmed that the other party also has magical power, if Fury acts, it is likely that the braised egg head will also drag the braised egg head into a dangerous situation.
No matter how shrewd Fury is, he is just an ordinary person.
So a few seconds later, Merlin dialed another number.
"Hey? Dobby, let go of your work first and help me find someone in New York. I will send you her specific information."
"Observe her for me and collect all useful information. In addition, the woman has a powerful wizard helping her. Don't expose herself and wait until I go back before taking action."
