Shadow of the Beautiful World

Ms. Night Jackal.

A demigod from Egypt.

She has a name Razan.

That was what she told Merlin herself.

Nine years ago, she and Merlin met once.

It was on a small island in the Caribbean Sea. At that time, Merlin was only a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and his strength was not too strong.

At that time, he found the research base of Hydra hidden on the small island. Out of disgust for Hydra, Merlin destroyed the base, and as a result, Mrs. Hydra who was holding a dark book was provoked.

It should have been a perfect hunt.

It's a pity that Mrs. Hydra has strong magic power, so she doesn't pay attention to Merlin at all.

So Merlin gave her a lesson that she would never forget.

Before she died, Lady Hydra used the book of darkness to summon a demigod who could enter the world, and wanted to kill Merlin with this.

But she died too quickly, and the ceremony was completed too slowly.

This creates an embarrassing scene.

The demigod Razan was summoned by the Dark Divine Book at that time, but after she appeared, the summoner was already dead, so there was no need for her to fight Merlin again.

Well, Merlin's parchment was also obtained at that time.

That time, the meeting time between Merlin and Ye Jackal was very short, and the two of them didn't talk about too many interesting things.

Merlin only knows that Lazan the night jackal is the daughter of Osiris, the god of the underworld. Because of some unknown events, the father and daughter fell out.

So Razan ran away from home, but was accidentally captured by the dark divine book.

As the price of being summoned to the present world, Razan must fulfill a wish for the person holding the dark book, otherwise he will be permanently trapped by the power from the great shadow Sithorn and cannot be released.

this matter

To be honest, it has something to do with Merlin.

During his time in hell, Wakanda's panther god, Buster, sent a message to Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, who asked Merlin to rescue his daughter who was trapped in this world.

The Egyptian underworld mythology, which has not shown up, has a meaning of you are responsible for solving the things you cause yourself both inside and outside.

This made it difficult for Merlin to refuse.

Especially after the great god Osiris generously helped Merlin resurrect, the favor owed is a bit big.

On the other hand, in the various gods of the earth, although the Egyptian gods are generally in a very Buddhist state, the Jiurong Gods, who seriously lack the sense of existence, focus on existence itself.

They almost never take part in any conspiracies or rivalries between the gods.

Quite doggy.

But that doesn't mean they're easy to deal with

With Merlin's current situation, in order to evade the promise, it is really not a good idea to provoke another god of unknown strength.

But Merlin never expected that the night jackal Lazan whom he entrusted his assassin disciples to search for all over the world is actually right in front of him, and it seems to be involved in this very, very troublesome matter now.

This is a secret confrontation between heaven and hell.

A little carelessness, even a demigod of the underworld like Razan, will fall into a situation where his body will be smashed to pieces.

Although the God Merlin had met had a good temper, he probably wasn't someone who could endure such a provocation.

To make matters worse, Lazan's background determined that in any matter related to the gods, she definitely represented not only herself.

If this matter continues to develop, it may also involve the Egyptian gods who have been staying out of the matter.

Due to emotion and reason, Merlin had to find a way to get Ms. Ye Jackal out of this matter before the matter got into the worst situation.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed.

He was still working on a plan against the conspiracy, and he had to figure out what was going on in Razan first.

swish

Victor was flying high above the sky, and it quietly chased Larzen, flying all the way from Manhattan to a hidden mountain villa in New Mexico.

The spirit of the raven, which almost completely disappeared between the sky and the earth behind the power of the void, flew around the sky a few times.

After seeing Razan fall to the ground and walk into the brightly lit villa with a suitcase, Merlin also manipulated Victor to fall to the ground.

The body of Raven Spirit keeps shrinking.

It was originally a spirit body conjured up by the patron saint spell, and it did not have a real body.

In a few seconds, it changed into the size of a mosquito, and then quickly slipped into the mountain villa.

But to Merlin's surprise, there is something strange inside this villa.

Several space extension magic circles were applied to the villa, making the interior of the house much larger than it looked on the outside.

What's more, the inner walls of this house are covered with towering bookshelves filled with books, and various magic circles are engraved on the walls and ground. In the hall at the end of the house, there is a Burning fireplace.

This should be a caster's home, or rather a foothold.

Well, judging from the weird decorations on the surrounding bookshelves, this place should be the home of a solitary dark wizard.

Merlin landed on the top of a bookshelf, and he looked at the things below with the eyes of a raven.

On the cracked floor, the complex and cumbersome magic circles are densely packed one after another, and are drawn with several different runes, making the picture look extremely

how to say?

Has a strong mysterious and magical temperament.

Ordinary people or low-level spellcasters will probably be shocked by the knowledge of the owner of this house as long as they take a look.

But in the eyes of a spellcaster of Merlin's level, these so-called magic are just tricks to deceive people.

Of these seemingly mysterious magic circles, less than one-tenth are effective.

others

Those unidentified runes, images and words are just pure decorations, used to fool people.

And judging from the methods used to make these magic circles, Merlin can basically tell.

Well, the people living here are only third-rate spellcasters.

But in terms of spellcasting attainments, even Merlin's new disciple, 15-year-old Billy Batson, might be able to completely abuse him in a few months.

The fact is just as Merlin expected.

Ye Jackal carried the box and stood by the fireplace, waiting like a sculpture. A few minutes later, a chunky old guy appeared in the room with a black cane.

He looked about 40 years old.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, and his figure was already seriously fattened. Instead of wearing a robe, he was wearing a baggy black suit that was still bulging with fat.

Wearing a tie, long black hair combed into an unconventional look, and a quirky goatee.

There were already deep wrinkles and scars on his face, probably caused by years of immersion in black magic, making him look much older than his actual age.

This guy said he was a spellcaster, but he looked more like a

businessman?

And it's the kind of guy who does illegal business.

Merlin stared at the dark wizard who was slowly walking over. He couldn't hide the details of this guy from his eyes.

The magic power in this black wizard's body is not bad, but it is wishful thinking to rely on this magic power to control a demigod.

So, the Book of Darkness

Merlin narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, under the guy's arm, there was a thick book with a black cover.

Book of Darkness.

After the death of Mrs. Hydra, the dark divine book that escaped through space magic fell into the hands of this guy, and the contract between Ye Jackal and the dark divine book was also transferred to him.

No wonder this guy can control the night jackal.

but

It should have been 9 years since Mrs. Hydra died, and the book of darkness fell into his hands. It took another 9 years to hold such a god that can explain everything, and it took another 9 years to reach the present state. the point

This guy's spellcasting talent is really bad.

Merlin even suspected that when he got the Dark Divine Book 9 years ago, he probably had no spellcasting ability and was just an ordinary person who was lucky enough.

Have you got anything?

The guy walked slowly to the fireplace, and he spread out the Dark God Book on the wooden shelf by the fireplace.

While pretending to choose a spell, he asked in a disrespectful tone:

Is everything going well?

well enough.

Night jackal Lazan handed the box in her hand to the black wizard, and she said in a very stern tone:

Neco Rodamus! Because of your low-level mistakes, I ran all over North America. This is the last piece of silver. Don't lose it this time!

Well.

A look of embarrassment appeared on the black wizard's face.

Facing Ye Jackal's accusation, he had nothing to say.

A few days ago, he demonstrated the power of the new weapon for the honored guest from hell. He killed a seraphim and a group of nosy angels with bullets cast from the silver of Judas.

But unexpectedly, the last bullet missed, and an angel took advantage of the chaos to escape.

It was an embarrassing mistake.

As a former international arms tycoon, he really shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

Well, it was probably because the demon king of hell at that time promised him that as long as he did this, he would never fall into hell, which made him a little carried away.

People like him must go to hell to suffer after death.

But if all this can be avoided in advance, then even if it is a deal with the devil, it will not be a big problem.

What's more, in the near future, he will personally complete a major event that affects the balance of the universe, and his name will be forever engraved in the history of countless dimensions.

No one can ignore him anymore!

As long as he's done with this crazy thing, no one can ignore the mighty dark wizard Neko Lodamus anymore!

boom

The black wizard Neko Lodamus opened the box, took out the deformed bullet, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

In the beating firelight of the fireplace, this little thing reflected a dazzling light, making the dark wizard's eyes a little blurred.

After a few seconds, he let out an unintelligible laugh, dropped the bullet into a nearby can, and picked up the rattling can.

Here! A total of 30 silver pieces of Judas.

The black wizard handed the jar to the expressionless Ye Jackal, and he ordered:

You bring it to that greedy guy for me, only the last 6 days left and I've already paid for it, so he has to finish the weapon I need on time!

You supervise him the whole time!

A gloomy look flashed across the black wizard's face, and he said:

If he dares to play tricks, cough cough, you know what to do.

hypocritical!

Ye Jackal said disdainfully:

Neco Rodamus, you keep saying that you want to change the world and even the universe, but you dare not even kill someone with your own hands.

You can say what you want.

The black wizard snorted, flipping through the dark book full of endless knowledge in front of him, he said:

No matter how much you mock me, you can't change the fate of being my servant until I die. The best thing is, I have already made an agreement with the future king of hell!

He turned his head and showed a sly smile to the indifferent Ye Jackal, and said:

I can go on living till I don't want to, and it will be a long time, my dear lady.

In order to prevent me from doing something that will damage your dignity and you have to do it, let's not quarrel tonight, shall we?

My father is on top!

Demigod Ye Jie stretched out her hand to cover her eyes in despair, she said:

How could I fall into the hands of scum like you? Do you really think that with that book, I can't kill you?

You can try!

In the past 9 years, the black wizard has already gotten used to Ye Jackal's cynicism.

He knew that without the protection of the Dark Divine Book, Ye Jackal didn't even need to move a finger, just a glance could kill him.

But the problem is, he was lucky.

As long as he had the dark book in his hand, even if he asked Ye Jackal to warm the bed, the dark night demigod would have to do it.

certainly

He still has the aesthetics of a normal person, and he can't stand a woman with a unique flavor like Ye Jie.

Of course, he is also wise enough not to persecute a demigod too much. If the jackal fights all over the night and dies with him, it would be too uneconomical.

Go to work, ma'am.

The black wizard waved his hand pretentiously, and said:

I will continue to immerse myself in the ocean of knowledge. Don't disturb my pursuit of truth.

Pooh!

Ye Jie turned and left the room with a sneer on her face, she said:

Stop pretending, I still don't know what you are?

Using such fetishes as the Dark God Book to predict stocks, or spying on girls changing clothes Neko Rodamus, you are really a 'talent'!

If that book had its own consciousness, it would probably have burst into tears, right?

Tell me what you want.

The black wizard is quite thick-skinned, he said:

It fell into my hands, how to use it is my freedom! You can't control it.

Merlin, who was hiding aside, watched Ye Jackal leave with 30 pieces of Judas silver. He turned his head and glanced at the black wizard who was standing by the dark book, reading something bad with relish.

Merlin couldn't help but shook his head.

Is this the collaborator Marduk chose in this world?

tut tut

That hell majesty must have been drunk, right?

Hmm, maybe more, for the sake of the Dark God Book?

this group of people

It's true that talents come forth in large numbers.

If all the villains in the world were like this guy, how easy would it be for Merlin to work in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tucao belongs to Tucao.

Seeing Ye Jackal leave, Merlin followed quickly.

Let's put the dark book here first, and let the black wizard keep it for him.

Merlin has basically figured out all the joints of this matter now, and he still has one last doubt.

How on earth was the silver of Judas, full of sin, made into a weapon?

general blacksmith

But absolutely can't do such a thing.

Speaking of which, since Merlin was resurrected, he still lacks a suitable weapon in his hand.

Isn't a blacksmith skilled enough to smelt sin silver just what he needs?
