The battle with the Avengers was a bit of a nerve-wracking affair - both for Eric and Raven. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The explosion of info almost emptied Eric's life force, and he still hasn't fully recovered, and he tries not to use it when he can. And although Raven didn't have a consumption problem, but now that the connection between Sannomiya and her is getting closer and closer, she can't suppress her strength a little, and the outbreak of the last war makes her feel like a beast in her body about to break out of the cage, and it feels like it will get out of control at any time.

All in all, both of them are trying to avoid using power for the time being, so they have to ask Nightwing to infiltrate the branch of Aegis in Gotham in such a primitive way.

Of course, the defenses here are not very tight, because in general there are no very dangerous things in the Gotham branch like in the headquarters, not even the rooms dedicated to storing dangerous items on the mothership, and the slightly higher security items are only stored in the safe room in the director's office cubicle, and the only entrance is in that office. That's why Eric needs Dick to help him lure Vladimir away first.

Of course, there is also a combination lock at the entrance to the safe house, but the level of security protocols is not high. After Eric infiltrated the office, he used his mobile terminal to connect to the combination lock disk, and immediately connected the combination lock to the oracle through the terminal. As Nightwing's operational logistical staff, Oracle is also one of the best hackers on Earth, and it didn't take long to crack the code and open the door to the safe house for them.

The moment he stepped inside, Eric understood why Aegis had been so casual with its defenses - there was nothing to be concerned about the danger here. A row of shelves against the wall in the room was filled with documents with the word "confidential" printed on them, and Raven said that there were a few mysterious antiquities with faint magical powers, which might sell for a few bucks in the antique market, but they were all magical's small toys, and they were not worth noting.

And the crystal they were looking for was lying peacefully in a small wooden box, placed among them. It seems that Aegis didn't understand the true value of this thing, so it was thrown in this kind of place so casually.

"We've got something." Eric contacts Nightwing.

"Very ...... Good. Nightwing struggled to say as he used his short stick to hold Hawkeye's fallen bow, "You guys retreat first, I'm still a little busy here, it's not convenient, so I'll hang up first." ”

Of course, Nightwing's fighting ability is needless to say, but Hawkeye is not mediocre. As the highest-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye is certainly not only accurate with a bow and arrow, but also has no ambiguity about his ability to fight hand-to-hand. Nightwing wielded a pair of short sticks, Hawkeye replaced the blade with a bow, and the two of them passed more than 30 moves in an instant, fighting each other with advance and retreat, and for a time there was no difference between up and down.

Finally, Hawkeye caught the flaw first, and slammed his bow into Nightwing's cheek. Nightwing also stared at the moment, and the short stick slammed into Hawkeye's face. The two of them vomited a mouthful of blood in unison, and retreated to distance themselves.

"Hey, you're pretty good at fighting, boy." Eagle Eye wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.

"You're not bad." Nightwing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "I don't mind fighting like this all day, but are you all right?" I don't know if someone has already touched your house while you're spending time here. ”

"So that's what you're all about?" Hawkeye frowned, "But what can you want in the Gotham branch?" ”

"Who knows?" Nightwing shrugged, "I'm just doing my friend a small favor. Oh, and there's the upset of you, that's all. ”

It seems that even if he can subdue Nightwing, he won't know anything if he asks, let alone if he can subdue it. One thing Nightwing is right, there's no point in spending it here any longer.

"Sir, close the team." After Hawkeye finished speaking in the communication channel, he turned to leave, and before leaving, he finally said to Nightwing, "I remember you, boy, it's not over yet. ”

Nightwing smiled, and the short stick whirled around in his hand a few times.

"Always by side." He laughed.

Minutes later, Eric and Revan had withdrawn from the Aegis branch, and Eric had reconnected with Nightwing.

"Dick?" Eric asked, "What just happened?" ”

"A little hand with an archer." Dick said, "That guy can fight, but it's settled now." ”

"Really? That's good. Eric said, "Thank you so much, this time it's troublesome." We'll take care of the rest ourselves. ”

"Okay, then you guys should be careful."

The communication hung up, and Eric took a deep breath and turned to Raven.

"How's it going?" He asked.

Raven opened the small wooden box, and after taking a look at it, he frowned slightly.

"That's not right." She said.

"What? Isn't that what you want? ”

"No, that's exactly what I'm talking about." She took out the small hedron from the box inside, and it shone through the sunlight.

"But only half." "Half of it is missing...... It can only be speculated that it was damaged when Sannomiya broke free from it. ”

"So it's still useful?"

"If you can find your other half, you should have." Raven said, closing his eyes for a moment, and said, "I can roughly feel the presence of another fragment through this half, and it should still be in Azeroth. I need to go to Azeroth......"

"It's us." Eric corrected, "It's already this far, you don't want to leave me alone, do you?" ”

Raven didn't refute this time, but there was still a slight worry on his face.

"Then get ready." Raven said lightly, "We're ready to go." ”

As the words fell, the purple mist rose up, instantly enveloping the figures of the two of them. Everything around was hidden in a thick fog, and the circle formed on the ground, spinning at an eerie high speed, like a circular dance floor.

Eric also experienced the incredible feeling of crossing at this moment, as if the soul was being pulled and whirled, fluttering uncontrollably like a leaf in the void. The front of me is cloudy, a bit like a passage through time and space in a movie, and the strong sense of imbalance makes people can't hold back the desire to vomit.

It didn't take long for his feet to finally fall back to the ground, and it took a while for his eyes to refocus and see what was in front of him.

A once majestic city, now only the remnants of ruins remain. The darkness was overwhelming, like the lid of a pot being pulled upside down, and the walls were full of ruins as far as the eye could see.

This is Azeroth, Raven's hometown.
