Shadow of the Beautiful World

Text 24. Gratitude and Enmity is Over—Adding more to the brother who died in the dream 【1140】

Sir, let's go now.

By the side of a helicopter about to take off, Coulson is saying goodbye to Merlin.

Also, sir, at noon today, an invitation to a dinner party was delivered to your office. Do you want me to deliver it to your home later?

Fury still has a bit of conscience. After knowing the end of the matter, he immediately sent a helicopter to pick up the heroes and go home. But Merlin will not go back immediately, he still has some things to do.

These things are not important, so just throw the invitation letter there, and I will deal with it in my spare time.

Under the night, Merlin warned Coulson:

What's really important is the report on the battle at the Temple of Eternal Night, Coulson, please draft a copy first, and I'll take a look at it in a few days.

good.

Coulson didn't refuse, he was used to writing reports for Merlin since he entered S.H.I.E.L.D.

You two, go back and have a good rest.

Merlin said to Melinda and Sharon who were sitting in the helicopter:

After I return to work, you can take turns to take vacations. You have worked very hard in the past six months. This time, I will fight for you to see if you can choose a better vacation place. By the way, Melinda, I I heard that you are getting married soon?

Um.

Melinda nodded, she leaned lazily on the seat, and said to Merlin:

You must come to my wedding then.

As long as I'm not asked to be best man, and if I have time, I will.

Merlin smiled and took out a golden ruby pendant from his pocket, threw it to Melinda, and said:

This is my gift.

Wow, it's so beautiful!

Sharon, who was sitting next to Melinda, let out a scream. Even though she was an excellent action expert, she still couldn't restrain her instincts. Especially the necklace thrown by Merlin, whether it is the retro and elegant workmanship or the huge ruby, women cannot ignore it.

you also have.

Merlin shrugged, took out another silver ring inlaid with sapphires from his pocket, and threw it to the cheering Sharon.

Finally, he slipped a gold pocket watch dotted with black agate into Coulson's hand.

These items were all taken from Vlad III's private collection, and Merlin had no intention of turning them over to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Vlad III's collections all have different magical effects, and handing them over to S.H.I.E.L.D. will not only ruin them, but also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This is my personal work allowance for you.

Merlin crossed his hips and said to the three subordinates in front of him:

Okay, go back quickly and tell Fury that I will see him when I'm done.

Watching his subordinates leave Mount Todd amidst the buzzing of the helicopter, Merlin stood in the dark night that was about to dawn, and he let out a long breath.

This vampire incident rated as s is finally over.

What about my work allowance?

Miss Bloodstone sounded dissatisfied behind Merlin. This lady still had a hemostatic bandage on her cheek. She still had burnt wounds on her arm and her hair was messy. She looked like she had just walked off the battlefield. like female warriors.

She complained to Merlin:

Although I have just joined the job, I have also done a lot of work, and I will accompany you deep into the vampire's lair, and I will also

this is yours.

Merlin turned around and put a small bag of more than a dozen magic gems in Elsa's hand. He said:

I found it from the ruins of the Temple of Eternal Night. In London's Diagon Alley, each of these gems can be exchanged for dozens of Galleons. Save a little money, this is a lot of money.

I've been to Diagon Alley a few times. The clothes are beautiful and the snacks are delicious.

Seeing the sparkling magic gemstones in her hand, Miss Bloodstone's complaints immediately disappeared. She happily put these gemstones into her pocket, then carried her black armor bag, and waved to Merlin chicly;

Then I'll go back first. I'll take a week off, go to London, and go home by the way.

I'll only give you 4 days off.

Merlin raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said to Elsa:

The underground situation in New York is still in turmoil. I urgently need an expert to help me deal with these matters. In addition, don't forget to buy yourself a magic pocket.

After 4 days, I will wait for you in the headquarters office, no problem? Bloodstone consultant.

Well, 4 days is 4 days.

Elsa pouted, but said nothing. In the night, she called Dupont, and ten minutes later, the taxi surrounded by cheerful music carried Miss Bloodstone and disappeared on the streets of Staten Island.

Merlin returned to the foothills of Mount Todd, where Blade was waiting for him.

The black vampire hunter was sitting on a broken tree stump, cleaning his long silver sword. His expression was calm, as if he had been waiting for Merlin here for a long time.

Where's Whistler?

Merlin looked around, but the old hunter was nowhere to be seen. He asked:

Is he gone?

Whistler is a person with strong execution ability. He is going to the west coast to find his daughter, and now he is going back to pack his things.

Dao Feng said to Merlin without raising his head:

When I finish my work here, I will also leave with him.

So I'm curious, what exactly do you want me to do for you?

Merlin folded his arms and asked:

Don't be so secretive. I'm a bit tired right now, and I just want to finish my work early and go back to sleep.

I want you to help me kill someone.

Blade raised his head, looked at Merlin with black eyes, and said:

Kill a vampire.

Is it strong?

Merlin asked:

So strong that the two of us need to hunt it down together? High-ranking blood?

No, it's not.

Dao Feng stood up, shook the silver sword in his hand, and said in a desolate tone:

It's very weak. It's the strength of an ordinary half-vampire. It's not hard to find. After getting the knowledge of Vlad III, I can easily find it.

then why

Merlin was a little puzzled, but before he could finish his question, Blade revealed the answer.

It's my mother.

Oh, that's how it is.

Merlin stopped asking at this moment, he didn't need to ask any more.

He knew why Blade had asked him for help. Maybe it was because of this reason that the blade was caught by Dickon's gang before.

The two were silent for several seconds, and Merlin said:

Then maybe, we can catch him and put him in a vampire prison, and I promise, he won't get out of his life. Maybe, he doesn't have to die. I mean, because of the special relationship between you, you may wish It's alive?

No!

Dao Feng said calmly:

It has done evil, and it is irreparable. The blood of innocent people flows in its body. Every drop is iron proof of guilt. Most importantly, if other vampires must be punished for their evil deeds, then it There is no reason to escape punishment.

It has completely lost its humanity. My mother died 30 years ago, and what is alive now is just a ghost of the past lingering on her body.

After finishing speaking, Blade stepped forward, like a shadow in the dark night, rushing towards the foothills of Todd Mountain at an extremely fast speed, he said to Merlin:

Come with me, I will take you to find it, please help me end its pain.

Merlin rushed into the sky quickly, following up with the blade that was running fast on the ground, and the two of them walked along the foothills of Todd Mountain towards the depths of the mountain, as if a coordinate was attracting the blade, he started from a At first, choose the shortest route.

I said, with Vlad's origin blood, you still can't fly?

Flying low in the sky, Merlin called to Blade:

Elsa said that high-level vampires all have bat wings. According to the combat power you showed before, I think you have already passed that threshold, right?

I do not like.

Blade replied:

Maybe I can, but I don't like to do that, and I still feel, deep down, that I'm still human.

Oh, that means you can indeed fly

Merlin nimbly walked around the tall trees, and the black smoke billowed endlessly, making it look like a big villain was here. He said:

I hope you are smart enough to be flexible at critical moments. Your rules and regulations can really easily kill you.

I have my own measure.

Dao Feng is still Dao Feng, and his stubborn temper can be seen when he speaks. Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and didn't stop trying to persuade him, but followed the running blade all the way into the mountains, and finally stopped in a completely shady valley.

Merlin looked around in mid-air. The area of this valley is small, and there is a small stream flowing through the center. There should be no large animals here, and the vegetation is lush. It is indeed a good place to hide.

He expanded his dark perception outwards, and quickly scanned the entire valley. On the stone wall at the edge of the valley's water pool, he found a hidden cave.

Blade didn't need Merlin's reminder. With the sense of blood connection, he quickly locked on to the cave. He climbed up the rock wall with vigorous steps, and then rushed into the cave. A moment later, a shrill scream came from the cave. passed out.

Eric! Eric! Listen to me!

A woman was dragged out of the cave by the arm dragged by the blade. She was wearing a long white dress with a bumpy figure, but the long skirt was already covered with mud, which looked like traces of a long journey.

If you look carefully, this woman and Dao Feng's resolute face are indeed somewhat similar, especially the outline of the eyes, which are almost exactly the same.

Listen to me! Eric, Dickon is dead, and I'm free.

She almost begged and shouted to Blade:

I'm all forced, Eric, I'm your mother, everything I do is for you, good and bad, please, Eric, please, let me go! I'm leaving Here, I will leave North America and never come back in my life, please.

Vanessa

Dao Feng walked to the entrance of the cave, he turned his head to look at the praying woman, that was his last relative in this world, this woman was supposed to take care of him growing up, but in Dao Feng's life, there was almost no place for this woman.

Not even the slightest impression.

You're all for yourself.

He knelt down and said to the female vampire begging for work:

You are a cowardly, selfish person, you are willing to be Dickon's pawn to lure me into the game but I don't blame you, you are just a weak woman, I know how cunning and vicious Dickon is, face it, you don't There is no way to protect yourself.

The only thing you're wrong about is Vanessa.

Dao Feng looked at the face that belonged to his mother. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and shook off Vanessa's fingers holding his arm. He said word by word:

You want to become a vampire, and it's your business to chase your indulgent freedom. You shouldn't try to turn me into a person like you. Your heart is already broken.

I was forced, Eric, it wasn't my will.

Vanessa seemed to have a premonition of her own fate. She screamed and tried to keep Eric, but the blade was much faster than her, and in a flash, the blade jumped out of the pool.

wow

Accompanied by the howling wind, the female vampire Vanessa was rolled up by a cloud of dancing black smoke, and was carried into the sky.

Eric, save me! My son, save me!

Vanessa struggled crazily, she knew what she was about to face, but Dao Feng just stood by the pool, he didn't even look up.

In the sky above his head, Merlin led Vanessa to the high-altitude clouds. In front of their eyes, the brightest sun was jumping into the sky from below the sea level.

Dawn has arrived.

Don't cry, don't make trouble, ma'am.

Merlin said to the screaming Vanessa in the smoke:

You're sick, a complication of selfishness and cowardice. Deceit gives you a high fever, viciousness makes it hard to breathe, cruelty gives you a stomach upset, persuasion gives you cardiac arrest, my God, you're almost paralyzed. It's a disease. You see, I've often said that doing bad things is bad for your health.

But it doesn't matter, Dr. Merlin has already formulated the best treatment plan for you, and we will start treatment from now on.

The black mist surrounding Vanessa dissipated at this moment, allowing the warm golden sunlight to shine on the vampire's body. As the white mist dissipated, Merlin whispered:

Ms. Vanessa, as a vampire, you may not know that the best disinfectant in the world

It's sunshine.

ah!

A shrill howl echoing from hell came from the sky, shaking the whole body of Blade standing on the ground.

The vampire hunter lowered his head and looked at the pool at his feet. He let go of the long silver sword in his hand and half-kneeled by the pool. He closed his eyes and found an ancient vampire song in the memory of Vlad III. The eulogy we use to pay tribute to the deceased compatriots.

He stretched out his finger, dipped it in cold water, tapped it on his forehead, and whispered in a prayerful voice:

I want you to die

So you don't have to bear my pain.

Through This Wound

The power of the blood will turn here

Accept it.

Born in blood.

In the name of blood.

Nice poem, where did you hear it?

Behind Blade, Merlin was holding a wooden box. He waited until Blade's prayer was over and handed the wooden box to him. Merlin said:

Find a place to bury her. By the way, before she dies, let me say sorry to you.

She didn't say that.
