34. Calamity. Constantine
"They went in."
The moment Merlin and Riven stepped into the dock, on the top floor of Black Light Investment Company on Wall Street, Davis looked at the crystal ball floating in the air in front of him.
This is not the explosion thing before.
This crystal ball is a real magical creature that can observe scenes in specific areas quietly.
Behind him, Satana, who was floating in the air, also stared at the picture on the crystal ball. The lazy and salted fish-like beautiful girl whispered:
"But there is only one power projection there, so weak that even a wizard can't kill it. A super-level demon cannot be so demented. I am very suspicious now whether we are using the Third Palace or the Third Palace are using us naturally."
"No one knows, but it doesn't matter anymore."
Daimon was a little nervous, after all, involved the competition of the King of Hell. He took out a cigar from the drawer and lit it. In the smoke with a little fragrance, he narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation in front of him.
"The projection of the power of the Three Palaces is there, and Riven and Merlin will face it. Merlin's power is negligible, but that girl Riven is simply a freak. She can reversely seal a big demon like San Palace, and she is almost the most powerful hell princess born in tens of thousands of years."
"However, the situation in front of you is nothing more than two results."
"Or, if the Three Palaces fail, then Riven, who noticed the mistake, will go back and strengthen the seal and completely cut off the connection between the Three Palaces and the outside world."
"Or, some things planned by Sanguchi are successful, and Riven may die, but the phenomenon caused by her hell princess when she dies will also alarm the bigwigs in the human world."
A cold light flashed in Daimong's eyes, he said:
"The Third Palace may make some profits, but the subsequent inquiries and blows will also cause serious damage to its vitality. No matter what the situation is, we will definitely not lose money!"
"And after completing this and fulfilling our promise to our father, everything that happened in hell has nothing to do with us. At least this period of time will not involve us anymore."
Thinking of this, Damon suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The half-demon rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said to his sister behind him:
"The worst result is that we may have to hide for a while. Have we figured out where we are going? Sister."
"I?"
Satana still looked lazy, she said:
"I might be dormant in Sulphur Harbor for a while, what about you?"
"I don't know either."
Dimon stared at the crystal ball in front of him, leaning against his office chair, he said:
"Look at that time, the world is so big, there will always be a place to stay."
Satana nodded, she looked at the crystal ball in front of her, and she seemed to suddenly remember something, she said:
"Speaking of this, why did that inexperienced guy Constantine suddenly get involved with a big demon like Mikuno?"
"He."
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Damon's mouth, and he said:
"Our friend Constantine is a proud man. Although he can't feel the inheritance of orthodox magic, he is unwilling to continue to be a magic liar. There was a time when he worked with Merlin at S.H.E.E.L. To be honest, according to Merlin's personality, if Constantine could sincerely ask for advice, Merlin probably wouldn't mind sharing with him the orthodox wizard magic. Unfortunately, you and I know that Constantine has never been so sincere."
"He seized the opportunity, took a small risk, and he thought he had succeeded."
Damon said with a smile:
"However, all the gifts of fate have been secretly bid for the price."
"Now, it's time for Constantine to pay off her debt."
—
On the other side, Riven and Merlin stepped into the dock that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
Meilin walked in the dock. No matter how he looked, he felt that the place in front of him looked familiar. He stopped in place, frowned and thought. Ruiwen asked impatiently:
"What's wrong?"
“I’ve been here.”
Merlin turned his head and looked at the rusty container around him. There were two clear fist marks on the container. The fist mark was much larger than the fist of an ordinary person, just like it was left by some giant creature.
He said:
"It should have been a few years ago, so let me think about it. It should have been 1994! Almost 8 years ago, I killed a weak half-demon here. His name is Maddock Morris, and he is also the son of the Three Palaces."
“Underground!”
Merlin walked forward, and according to the route in his memory, he found a ladder leading to the underground. He said to Raven:
"I killed the half demon at that time, and its soul shattered in the basement, and the dark magic power accumulated here, and it did not really dissipate until a long time later."
"Go down and take a look!"
Riven bounced her fingers, and a black arc magic shield covered Meilin. It was a magic that gathered with extremely pure dark magic, and its strength was far higher than the body protection spell that Meilin currently mastered. It should be a super-level magic.
Ruiwen's random casting method of doing it and lifting weight easily also made Meilin a little envious.
This is Riven's talent, and talent is something that cannot be envied.
Merlin and Riven walked down the stairs one after another, and after more than ten seconds, they arrived at a dim basement.
In the darkness, in front of the two people, a thin figure was standing there, like a sculpture.
"Constantine?"
Merlin looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
The iconic yellow windbreaker, scattered hair, white shirt lined with a tie that had never been well-took, still in the darkness he maintained his once coquettish posture, even holding a lit Silkar cigarette on his fingers.
John Constantine, the first wild mage Merlin met, a guy who studied black magic, a bastard with a bad character, and his former colleagues.
But Constantine resigned from S.H.E.L.D. several years ago, it was like evaporating the world.
Why did he appear here at this time?
"Do you know him?"
Riven had already pinched the dark magic that had been gathered and dispersed on her fingers, but she did not throw it out immediately. Instead, she looked back at Merlin and said:
"This guy is being occupied by the will of the Sannomiya, and he won't be awake for long."
"John!"
Merlin shouted loudly:
"What's going on?"
“Memelin.”
In the darkness, Constantine showed a very bitter smile on her pale face. He looked unable to move, and he said to Merlin:
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have come here to secretly absorb magic from you."
"Draw magic?"
Merlin's eyes suddenly jumped. With this sentence, he knew the reason why Constantine was used as a carrier of consciousness by the Three Palace Demons.
In 1994, Merlin and Fury rescued Constantine and Hitville, who were taken away by the rabies Morris, in this dock. Merlin killed the half-demon in this basement. Morris's soul and body were shattered, but the magic in his body was still left here.
Although Merlin had given a warning, Constantine, who was of course eager for strength, still set her sights on this place.
He used his position to sneak into this basement to absorb the dark magic power emitted by Morris. Compared to the magic power that Constantine could find elsewhere, the magic power from the Three Palace Demon is obviously purer and more powerful. And it is in the basement without guards, which is just like a free gift.
Relying on this "free trip", Constantine successfully spent that weak time in his life. After having enough magic to support him and master a series of black magic, he was unwilling to be bound by the rules of S.H.E.L.D.
He resigned and traveled around the world with his skillful black magic. Although he would not be rich or powerful, he lived a good life with his evil wisdom.
Unfortunately, fate has always been fair.
Eight years later, Constantine had to pay the price for her "free sex".
Where is the power of a super-level demon like the Three Palace Demon that is so easy to get?
Although the guy's body has not yet condensed his power seeds, his long-term contact with the Sanguard's magic power still makes him an insignificant magic power mark for the great demon in the world.
At this moment, the projection ceremony between dimensions has been completed. Constantine, who is eating and drinking in the Sulphur Port and not being noticed by anyone or any force, naturally became the most suitable projection carrier for the Three Palaces.
Alas, all the gifts of fate have been secretly bidding for the price.
"You guy"
Merlin looked at Constantine in front of him, and to be honest, if possible, he really wanted to save this guy.
Although Constantine is cunning, she likes to be clever, has a bad character, is lazy and hates labor, and likes to play tricks, he is an acquaintance of Merlin after all, and the two have worked together before.
but
It's no longer helpful.
The magic smoke visible to the naked eye was scattering on Constantine's body, wrapping him up like clouds. It was not only the magic that eroded the body, but the projection of the Sankou also twisted his soul bit by bit.
No help
"I'm going to die Merlin! I'm out of salvation."
Constantine seemed to feel that his life was about to end. He used his last slightest strength to shout to Merlin:
"Tell Chas that he doesn't have to pay the rent this month! And, help me take care of him! He is my only friend in my life."
"I will."
Merlin responded to Constantine.
The next moment, a light lit up in front of his eyes, causing Meilin to subconsciously raise his hand and cover his eyes.
The light came and went quickly. A few seconds later, Merlin opened his eyes and saw Constantine in front of him. He threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground with disgust, and then reached out to tidy up his collar.
It's still the same face, that's the outfit, but Constantine is no longer Constantine.
The pair of Merlin's deep memory, dark red eyes, and hair that constantly emitted white smoke from behind his head all revealed his current identity.
trigon!
Three Palaces!
"Ah, my dear daughter."
Sanguchi pretended to spread his arms and said to Raven, who was covered in cold face in front of him:
"I told you, you are so ill-behaved, you can't hold back and I should go home. Daughter, there is nothing to be left to nostalgic about in this world."
"As for you!"
Sannomiya turned around the next moment and looked at Meilin who took out the silver halberd and silver sword. There was a trace of unconcealed surprise in his dark red eyes.
"I remember you, Merlin! Yes, I remember you."
"A human with a special soul, I have given you the best power for my escape knight, and I also hope that you can help me win a fierce battle in Mephist! But it is really a surprise that you ran away. A little mouse actually ran away quietly."
"Ah, my son."
Sanguchi opened his hands enthusiastically and said to Merlin:
"You finally returned to me and brought your sister back. It's great, come with me, Merlin, I will give you a real reward when we get home."
"Feel sorry."
Meilin held the silver sword behind him, held the angry war halberd with both hands, staring at the Sangong in front of him, and he said:
"I want to be my father."
"Are you worthy?"
The faster than Merlin's language offensive is Riven's Magic Blade.
This girl didn't want to say anything more to Sanguchi. She waved her fingers, and the magic blade that whistled away was densely intertwined in the basement ahead to form a destructive grid like a fishing net when she left her hand.
Merlin is absolutely unable to escape this move.
This means that the projection in front of me, which is less than one percent of the power of the three palaces, will definitely not be able to escape.
But it didn't hide at all.
It allowed the interlaced magic blade to cut into Constantine's body. As the blood splattered, the voice of Sanguchi sounded again, and the tone was still the disgusting warmth.
No change at all.
"Daughter, I've reminded you many times."
"Don't keep those dangerous things with you."
Sanguchi dragged the shattered body, and with a slight hook of its finger, the bag on the rook's waist was pulled away by invisible force. Riven's expression became extremely panicked at this moment. She stretched out her hand and tried desperately to seal the things in the bag again.
But, it's too late.
As Merlin's gaze, hundreds of seeds of power fell from Riven's broken bag, like an orange rain.
In the "rain drop", Riven turned her head in despair and looked at Merlin, her lips moving.
Merlin recognized what she was going to say
"elder brother"
"Run!"
"Buzz"
The next moment, the hundreds of power fragments from the sons of the Three Palaces who were killed by Riven personally wrapped the helpless Riven up in the orange light shining like a small sun.
"hehe"
The voice of Sanguchi once again rang in the darkness:
"A little girl with a stinky breast, who succeeded once by sneak attack, felt that her old father was just like that."
"Arrogance is indeed your original sin, my daughter."
As he spoke, Sanguchi's power projection turned his head in a 180° posture and looked at Meilin. In the darkness illuminated by orange light, the dark red eyes were filled with impatience.
"You Merlin."
"I'll give you one last chance!"
"Kneel down!"
"Call dad!"
Chapter completed!
