56. Invitation to the Continental Hotel

Early the next morning, the little girls who had been playing all night woke up one after another, and the first one to wake up was Raven.

This girl has developed a good habit of life in the world of Aizaras since she was a child, she wakes up regularly every day, washes, and then eats breakfast, and begins to study the knowledge in her head, rarely wasting time elsewhere.

As for Lorna, the other two girls are worse, but under Raven's drive, their lives are much more regular than ordinary children.

But today, when Raven in her pajamas came out of the bathroom, she saw Merlin sitting on the couch, frowning, flipping through some magic books.

He seemed to be looking for something, and the coffee table in front of him was already full of books that had been opened.

"What are you looking for?"

Raven walked up to Merlin and asked in her own cold voice:

"Is there something wrong?"

"I'm looking for a name."

Merlin Says:

"The name of an extraterrestrial deity, by the way, Raven, have you ever heard of the Crimson Juggernaut?"

"Hmm."

Raven nodded, and she sat down on the sofa beside Merlin, and said to Merlin as she reached out to help the lazy coo scratch the hair on her neck:

"Few people in the stars know this name, but there is a record of it in the library of Aezalas, and it is called Setorak... It's just a transliteration, and it's hard to pronounce its real name, at least I can't pronounce it, and you can't pronounce it. ”

"It's so powerful that it can even fight the terrifying Star-Swallowing Stars head-on, and if the battlefield is in its own crimson realm, then it will have the strength to rival the other four gods... It is very low-key, not as active as other powerhouses, and in fact, it has almost never stepped out of its own kingdom since the formation of the Crimson Realm. ”

Merlin looked at his sister, who was like a mobile library, he put down the book in his hand and asked seriously:

"I've heard that it's stronger than Sannomiya?"

"Not at all on a level."

Raven Says:

"Outside of the Crimson Realm, Sannomiya may be able to retreat under the attack of Setolak, but once transferred to the Crimson Lord's Kingdom of God, then Sannomiya will definitely be defeated."

"So, Raven, you say, can we..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said:

"With the power of Setolak, deal with the three palaces?"

"No way!"

Raven's face changed, and she flatly refused:

"Dispel this idea! The third house is already troublesome enough, and you have to provoke the Crimson Lord again... Are you crazy? ”

"No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant, Raven."

Merlin leaned back on the couch, and when he made sure that the other girls were still in bed, he reached out, and the symbiote Beowulf obediently moved along Merlin's arm to his hand, forming a black glove.

Raven's eyes widened as she watched the scene, and after a few seconds, she said with some uncertainty:

"It's... Symbiote? Where did you find it? ”

"Remuneration for a task."

Merlin Says:

"The symbiote is not the point, the point is that in this symbiote, there is the will of an ancient evil god, which says that it is called the god of the abyss, Nar."

"Nar?"

Raven quickly searched her mind for the name, and in the end, she found nothing.

"I haven't heard of it, this touches my knowledge blind spot."

Little Raven Says:

"The library of the Azaras is not omniscient either, and if it is truly an ancient evil god, then it must have been active for a long time away from now."

"Yes."

Merlin recalled what he had seen on the planet Symbiote, saying:

"I'm not sure how strong this Nar is, but from what I've seen, it shouldn't be any weaker than Sannomiya in its heyday. It also gave me an inspiration. ”

Merlin picked up the water in his hand, and said to his sister:

"Before I met you, I had a... Well, barely friends. He's a terrible man in every way, but he's a very bold man. He borrowed power from a lot of demons, and then he was going to pay his debts... Of course he got away with it in the end, but that's not the point, the point is, do you know how he got on the bill? ”

"Tell me about it."

Raven waved her hand, the refrigerator door opened by itself, and a bottle of yogurt fell into Raven's hand, and she said while scooping the yogurt with a spoon:

"I can feel that your friend must have put on a very peculiar show."

"That's true."

Merlin nodded, he took a sip of water, and said to Raven:

"That guy signed 13 demon contracts in one go, all of them were the most demanding soul contracts, and after he died, his soul would be attributed to some demon. But the problem is that he sold his soul 13 times... The 13 demons all want his soul, but before his soul goes to hell, the 13 demons have to make an agreement on who can get his soul. ”

Merlin smiled and said:

"As a result, until now, they have not come to an agreement, and Konstantin's soul is nowhere to be found... It may have been gone, but it may also be hiding somewhere in hell to survive. ”

"You know what? Raven, this method is crazy though... But if we're desperate, that's not a solution. ”

Merlin sighed, and he looked at his sister, who was sympathetic, and said:

"We have to deal with the most terrifying monarch in hell, and with ordinary methods, we can't see hope."

He looked at the symbiote in his hand, and he said:

"Nar, Setolak, Sannomiya... There were others, maybe Mephistopheles, maybe Satan, maybe Lucifer, anyway... If things do get to that point, then I hope that the more chaotic the better. ”

"You're dancing on a blade."

Raven didn't object to this crazy idea, she just commented:

"If you're not careful, you'll be..."

"I know."

Merlin whispered:

"I know there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death, but as long as you are not afraid of them, they are nothing."

After a few moments, Merlin took something out of his pocket and put it in front of Raven's eyes, and he said to Raven:

"I found this when I was sorting through the magic bag last night, and I almost forgot it existed, this thing almost killed me before. It's part of a set of magical artifacts, and it's still under human control, and I'm not very good at dealing with these super-high-grade alchemy products, so take a look and see if you can find a way to erase the magical location from this ring. ”

"I'll take a look first."

Raven reached out and laid down a magical enchantment, she opened the sealing box in front of her, layer by layer, like a matryoshka doll, and in the final sealing box, Raven saw a silver emerald ring with dancing arc sparks.

The moment Raven opened the box, the ring jumped into the air, as if trying to return to its owner.

"Give me back!"

But at this moment, Raven waved her hand, and more than a dozen beating complex magic circles appeared in the palm of her hand, and the little raven slapped it on the ring in the air.

"Smack!"

The moment her finger touched the ring, more than a dozen completely different sealing techniques were applied to the surface of the ring, like a beast that had just broken out of its cage, and was immediately put on a dozen halbers.

"Dangchang"

The dull silver emerald ring fell on the coffee table, no longer trembling, as if stunned by a slap from Raven.

This scene made the corners of Merlin's eyes jump, his younger sister, the talent she inadvertently displayed, always made people feel frightened.

"Well, it's a very high-level magical artifact."

Raven picked up the ring with two fingers, put it in front of her eyes and examined it carefully, and said:

"Even in the world of Azaras, this is an artifact, you just said that this thing is a whole set of magical artifacts? How many are there? ”

"Well, it should be 10."

Merlin said uncertainly:

"Since Mandarin named his organization the Ten Rings, it means that he should have 10 rings with completely different effects in his hands."

"Then it's worth more."

Raven narrowed her eyes and said:

"If I could collect all 10 pieces, even I would be tempted... It's a pity that there is only one now, and it is still an attribute that I don't need. ”

"Give me a week."

The little raven put the ring in the box, and she said to Merlin:

"Help me find some materials from the treasure house of that little goblin's house, I can be sure to erase the spiritual imprint on it, and then you can use it."

"No... There is no hurry. ”

Merlin suddenly reached out to stop Raven's movements, and he said to Raven:

"If Mandarin can sense the location of the ring, it means that he can be exploited... Do you understand what I mean? Raven, when necessary, can 'serve' us. ”

"You're treacherous, Merlin."

Raven frowned, looked at her brother, and said:

"You can't stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. any longer, and if you continue like this, you'll become a second boiled egg."

"You're going to call him Fury."

Merlin Says:

"Don't give people nicknames... That's not good. ”

"Don't think I don't know!"

Raven sarcastically said:

"Occasionally you'll call Fury a boiled egg head in your heart... Don't forget, I'll be mind reading too. ”

"Oh... Little Raven, when have you read my heart? Listen to you, have you done it more than once? ”

Merlin looked at Raven with a strange expression, and the latter also noticed her gaffe, and she suddenly changed back to her cold appearance. She snorted, threw the box in her hand to Merlin, and said:

"Nope! Don't guess! ”

"You're a nuisance, Merlin!"

——————————————

After a great weekend with his family, Merlin returned to the Ghost Base on New Monday.

And just as he walked into the office, Agent Barbie knocked on the door.

Merlin turned around and saw Barbie wearing a pair of pale pink glasses, and behind those lenses, she also had a pair of slightly charming cat eyes.

"Your conversion is complete?"

Merlin asked, somewhat surprised:

"Why didn't you tell me? Didn't your boyfriend stop it? ”

"He stopped, as always, and made a big fuss with me."

Barbie said indifferently:

"But he can't beat me now... I taught him a hard lesson, took him out for a meal, watched a movie, and that's all there is to it. ”

"Uh, okay."

Merlin Says:

"Anyway, don't affect your feelings... Is there anything important to say to me? ”

"Yes!"

Agent Barbie put a document in front of Merlin's eyes, and she said:

"Last week's arrest was not smooth, and many of the mutants on the list went missing."

"Missing?"

Merlin looked at the list, and he frowned and said:

"What does it mean to be missing? Is there an error in the intelligence, or is it something else? ”

"The intelligence is right."

Barbie pushed her glasses and said to Merlin:

"Tripp personally led the team to capture the mutants, and they found traces of the mutants' activities in many places, but they just disappeared out of thin air. We suspect that someone is secretly saving the radical mutants, or that someone is in front of us and taking the mutants away. ”

“. MīŧŸ ”

Merlin Says:

"They have a special method of spatial displacement, maybe it's them."

"It's not!"

Barbie shook her head:

"We compared the sites and didn't find any energy residue... No. What M did, it should be other forces. ”

"It's a real headache."

Merlin Says:

"How can mutants have so much trouble..."

He looked at the list in front of him, he pondered for a moment, and he said:

"Looks like I'm going to have to talk to our intelligence sources, maybe they'll know more."

"Speaking of which, sir, an invitation was delivered to the base this morning, and it was for you."

Barbie took an invitation from the folder and handed it to Merlin, who took it in her hand, glanced at it, and then raised a brow.

"Invitation to the opening of the Continental Hotel?"

"What is this place?"
