"You should understand, Talia."

In a hotel room in a small Swiss town, Merlin's fingers flicked back and forth on the table, and he said in a low tone:

"In this kind of hateful matter, I believe it doesn't really matter if you trust you or not, the important thing is that no matter what explanation you make, you have to show evidence."

"Evidence?"

Talia shook her head:

"I can't give you evidence unless you're willing to go back to Nandarbat with me and ask my father face to face. You should know that my father never lied in his life. ”

"The head of the devil never uses lies as weapons..."

Merlin nodded, and he whispered:

"I've heard that. Let's arrange that, Talia, and we'd better get on now. ”

"The sooner this matter is resolved, the better."

"Now?"

Talia looked at Merlin with a strange gaze, and she said:

"Are you really going back to Nandarbat with us? Aren't you worried that we're going to kill you there? ”

"Why should I worry?"

Merlin looked at Talia calmly, and said:

"As long as your father is not in trouble, if your father is really as wise as the legend says, then he will not take the initiative to provoke a dangerous enemy."

"Although in this case, it is not good to take the initiative to provoke you."

Talia said in a cold tone:

"But you're underestimating the Assassin League, a mere dark wizard, we still don't pay much attention to it."

"Dark wizard? Hehe. ”

Merlin shook his head, he stood up, and said to Talia:

"Whatever you think, take me to Nandarbat as quickly as possible, and arrange for me to meet your father. Finally, who taught you the method of agitation? It sucks. ”

With that, Merlin picked up the book on the table and turned to leave the house.

He'd had enough information and nothing more to say to Talia.

And at the moment when he walked out of the room, Merlin suddenly turned back and said to Damien, who was lying on the bed:

"Don't pretend to be asleep, boy. The sound of your breath in my ears is no different from muffled thunder. ”

"Bang"

The door was closed at this moment, and Damian, who was lying on the bed, sat up with a grunt, and he looked at his mother, and then at the closed door, and said to Talia:

"Mom, who is that person?"

Talia was also a little confused at this time, and the after-effects of the Forgetting Spell were still blessed on her, and she sat down in her chair a little weakly, and waved her hand to her son, and said:

"That's... That's an 'old friend' of mine. ”

"He's dangerous."

Damien jumped out of bed, walked up to his mother, and said to Talia:

"I can feel that he's a little more dangerous than Bane."

"Really?"

Talia stroked her son's hair, knowing that her father had exposed Damien to the waters of the mysterious pool of Sarah since he was a child, and that her son was not only as powerful as an adult, but also had a sense far beyond the average human under the influence of the water.

If Damian said that the dark wizard Coulson is dangerous, it means that the current Coulson is indeed much stronger than 8 years ago.

This couldn't help but make Talia a little discouraged.

Back then, Coulson needed to join forces with her to barely take on an Auror, but now, he had left Talia far behind.

"An agreement has been reached, and he will not hurt us."

Talia said to her son:

"At least until he gets to South Darbat, Coulson won't do anything stupid. Damian, go freshen up, we'll go now. ”

"Hmm"

Damian nodded, turned and walked into the bathroom, while Thalia sat in her chair, her hands rubbing her forehead, thinking about something else.

She is a very intelligent woman, and she uses all kinds of powers to her advantage.

Now that it has been determined that the dark wizard Coulson is a very powerful person, is there any way to let him use it for himself, at least to establish a friendly relationship, so that he can use his power at a critical moment.

The League of Assassins has had a rough run for years, and the ancient organization had already experienced a split before the defeat of Gotham. Talia, who had aspired to be the leader of the Assassin League since childhood, had to find a way to make her organization strong again.

Perhaps, from the dark wizard Coulson, she can find some hope.

Well... It's a risky idea, but it's worth a try.

"Whoosh"

On a private jet from Switzerland to South Asia, Merlin sat on the couch and was meditating on this boring time. After knowing the identities of Talia and Damian, Merlin didn't plan to have much to do with them.

It's hard to say whether or not there is a relationship between his friend Bruce and his old acquaintance Talia, but they do have children between them.

Although Damian's situation is somewhat special, in any case, this is a family matter for the Wayne family, and Merlin does not intend to get involved in it.

But he didn't want to provoke this mother and son with complicated backgrounds, but that didn't mean they wouldn't take the initiative to find Merlin.

"Your name is Coulson?"

Merlin's meditation was interrupted by a voice from Damian's voice, who opened his eyes to see Dimian, dressed in a small white suit, standing in front of him. The kid had his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, and he looked like he was tugging.

It has to be said that after combining the facial contours of Bruce and Talia, Damian, despite his young age, already shows signs of being a handsome guy.

The Wayne Family and Lars. Al. The fusion of the excellent bloodlines of the Gul family, coupled with the long-term ascetic life of being personally trained by the demon head since he was a child, added a touch of a different temperament to this child.

It is easy for the person who talks to him to ignore his age, as if he is not dealing with a minor, but a real peer.

Merlin looked at Damien's turquoise eyes, and he didn't answer Damien's question.

After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke:

"Do you have nightmares?"

"What do you mean?"

Damian frowned, always speaking in a crisp tone, and the slightly indifferent child asked rhetorically:

"Everybody has nightmares, but I guess that's not what you're asking... So, can you be clearer? ”

"I mean, do you have nightmares after every contact with that green-glowing water?"

Merlin asked:

"Have you ever felt like someone was whispering to you, but no matter how hard you listened, you couldn't understand the voice?"

"Yes."

Damien glanced at Merlin with complicated eyes, and he whispered:

"When I was a child, every night my grandfather took me into that pool, I would lose sleep... When I grew up, I must have adapted to the power contained in the water of the pool of Seralus, and I now rarely sleep and have fewer nightmares. But I'm curious, how did you know about this? I didn't even tell my mom about the nightmares and whispers. ”

"It's simple."

Merlin Says:

"Because I've had that experience too, Damian."

He held out his finger and motioned for Damien to grasp his finger, and the little boy hesitated, but he reached out and took Merlin's finger as he watched.

In the next moment, the speed of the dark magic power derived from the Three Palace Demons in Merlin's body accelerated slightly, and under the traction of the power seed in his body, Damian's body was like being struck by lightning, and in the next moment, he felt that he had become weak, and his whole body was about to fall to the ground as soon as his feet were weak.

But at this moment, the strange gravitational force held Damian in the air.

"You... What was done? ”

Damien's face was pale, and he clutched his heart in pain, and he screamed like a wolf cub who had been robbed of the most important thing:

"You put my power... Taken away? ”

"First of all, I didn't take it."

Merlin calmly said to Damian:

"I just sealed it and stopped its continued erosion of your body."

"Secondly, child, that's not your power. Your strength is just an illusion, it's like you're showing off your might with someone else's things, and if I were you, I wouldn't take the initiative to touch it again in my life. ”

"Give me back my strength!"

No matter how mature Damien is, he is only a child less than 10 years old, and after losing what he thinks is his innate strength and falling into a weakness that he has never felt before, his first reaction is to take back the power that he was "robbed" from Merlin.

But without the magic in his body, Damien became very weak, and he struggled like a kitten, and Merlin easily pressed it to his lap with one hand.

He looked at Damian, who was Bruce's child, and he and Bruce had a real friendship, and he was also his junior.

Merlin couldn't let Damien be corrupted by dark magic.

Although this magic is a very "gentle" way to change his body, something from a demon, no matter how gentle, will never be harmless.

"Quiet!"

Merlin's fingers were clasped together, and the seal of Axifa burst out, and in an unquestionable voice, he said to Damien:

"Calm down, breathe! Take a deep breath..."

"The real power is in your body, in every muscle, in every bone, and although it will not be better than these 'borrowed' things, it is yours... That means you don't have to pay off these 'borrowed' things in the future. ”

Under Merlin's spiritual guidance, the struggling Damien soon became lethargic.

At Damian's current age, the strength in his body comparable to that of an adult is absolutely impossible to ignore.

When this child grows up, he will become a real Hercules... Lars. Al. Gul's series of physical enhancements to his grandson may be a little reckless, but they are indeed effective.

The head of the demon probably knew the aftermath of the mysterious pool himself, and he may have found a way to help his grandson get rid of the negative effects of the pool. Otherwise, with the number of times Damian had soaked in the pool water, the dark magic in his body would definitely not be so thin.

If it was an ordinary person, then the magic power of the Three Palaces Demon would have mutated into a half-demon long ago.

But even so, the physical fitness of the little friend is amazing, and when he really grows up, his strength, speed, reflexes and resistance to blows will definitely not be comparable to that of Captain America who has been strengthened by the serum. Rogers is weaker.

"What did you do to my son?"

Talia's voice came from the other side of the cabin, and Merlin looked up to see Talia leaning against the door of the cabin with a glass of wine, dressed only in very "simple" clothes.

Her long black hair was tucked to the side, resting on her shoulders, and she seemed to be wearing light makeup, which made Thalia, who was already a mother, full of a real femininity.

"Do you know the origin of the pool of water that your father used to bring about his injuries and resurrection?"

Merlin asked:

"Why do you call it 'the pool of Sarah'? This seems to be the way the Bible says. ”

"No one but my father knows where the pool came from."

Talia took a sip of wine, and she said:

"We know that the pool of water can heal the injuries suffered by the human body to the greatest extent, as long as it is not dead, it can be revived by the pool of water. In fact, as far back as I can remember, my father was in a fatal crisis several times, and he relied on that pool to recover. The Pool of the Seralus is also the name my father gave it. ”

"You're amazing."

Merlin said with a slight mockery:

"I can use things from unknown sources so confidently and boldly."

"yes, we're short-sighted."

Swaying her waist, Thalia walked up to Merlin, who sat down across from her and whispered:

"After all, we're not gifted wizards like you, Coulson, we want power, but we have too few options... Not everyone has your life, and not everyone can have as many options as you do. ”

"Believe me, not having to go through my life is the greatest luck for you."

Merlin glanced at Taglia's slightly open chest, the two clumps of white flesh made him a little dizzy, the woman in front of him... Sure enough, it's a real goblin, no wonder the eldest young master Bruce will also fall under her pomegranate skirt.

He shook his head and whispered:

"Give up, Talia, I mean, there's something to say... Don't use your weapon as a woman against me, I'll admit, you've made my heart flutter, but alas, Bruce has got the head start. ”

"I'm not in the habit of stealing things from my friends."

In the face of Merlin's refusal, Talia was not too disappointed, she obediently straightened her clothes, then crossed her legs, and asked in a dignified tone:

"Sounds like you're very familiar with Bruce, as his former pillow man, how come I didn't know that he still has a wizard friend like you?"

"There's a lot you don't know, Thalia."

Merlin looked at Damian, who was gradually breathing normally, and said:

"I'm a friend of Bruce, so I can be your friend too, provided you have to cooperate, understand?"

"Good."

Talia's pretty eyes flashed a twinkle, and she raised her glass to Merlin, and said:

"Well, this one, celebrate our becoming friends, Lord Coulson."

"Nope."

Merlin shook his head:

"Call me Merlin."

"Merlin?"

Talia narrowed her eyes suddenly, she looked Merlin up and down, and after a moment, she shook her head with some hindsight:

"It's you, Merlin the Raven."
