Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ai Lan Digs a Pit
Night is not only the time of crime, but also the most wonderful time for some species, because during this time you can indulge in the fun of hunting, there is no nasty sun, some are just a full moon in the sky, in the moonlight, the hunting figure seems to become more vigorous.
"Huh!" It was the sound of a long knife slicing through the air, a brilliant flash of knife light fell, and the head flew high, and in the moonlight, the ashes burned in the air for the last bit of light and then turned to ash, and the stench wafting through the air proved that there was a vampire here a few seconds ago.
The long knife was unsheathed, and the Daywalker pushed down his sunglasses, which did not slip down, it was just a habit of his, perhaps like crocodile tears, and he would pretend to mourn the vampire he had hunted.
"It's not like your style, you wouldn't have added, go to hell, bastard." A voice suddenly appeared behind Blade, and he instantly touched the pistol at his waist, but he noticed that the sound was still familiar to him, he stopped his habitual movements, he slowly turned around, and put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, which made him look friendly, and he also had weapons in his pockets.
"Sindore?" Blade turned, and he saw the woman in the alley, the friendship he had fought side by side had made him relax somewhat, his shoulders were no longer tense, and his hands were taken out of his pockets.
"I'm here to tell you news." Ailan's form was somewhat illusory, and she used spells to distort the light around her, which was much more convenient than wearing a mask. "There are a lot of new forces coming to New York now, but according to my research, they are all big Malaysians."
"Big Marquinos?" Blade's eyebrows furrowed, and he became curious about the information that Ai Lan had brought.
Originally, Ai Lan didn't know about this, but Venia contacted her and told her all the information she had, not daring to hide it in the slightest. It may have been that Ailan's lesson last time scared her, but this time Venia's performance was perfect. She dug up all the reasons why Princess Nissa came to New York again, intending to save her impression in front of Alan.
"Yes, since the last time we succeeded in stopping them, their Princess Nissa has brought people into New York again." Ai Lan began to reveal information little by little, she wanted Blade to be used as a pioneer to investigate.
Blade didn't say anything, he just lifted the long knife on his back, his first reaction after hearing the news was to welcome them to New York, but this welcome must be a very characteristic welcome mode of Blade, presumably garlic and holy water are indispensable. Then he remembered Whistler's admonition. He removed his hand from the hilt, looked directly at Ailan and asked, "Do you have any detailed information?" ”
"Just waiting for your words." Ai Lan thought to herself. She threw out a scroll, the material of which was parchment, and the blade caught it and shook it, as if he had no idea that he would still use people to write things on parchment. He cautiously opened the scroll, he grasped the ends and pulled it slightly, and Blade noticed that the scroll was drawn with a map, which made him even more curious about Ailan's intentions.
"She already has a map. Why should you contact me? According to her last ability, she could completely solve it alone. Blade secretly pondered Ailan's intentions, and he remained silent on the surface, pretending not to understand and asked, "This is the map?" You've got the map? ”
"This is the result of a lap I got with a spell." Ai Lan said simply. She sensed that Blade's attitude was a little strange.
"Such a big place, I guess it's hard to solve it with just the two of us, right?" Blade shook the scroll in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Ai Lan frowned secretly.
"Contact Tony Stark, I don't like dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Alas, contacting Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. would have known all this, if they had known anything more about what had happened to the Great Marquinos. They will definitely consider protecting Princess Nissa's power for the time being, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely plan to use Princess Nissa to maintain the stability of the various vampire clans, with this card. They will be able to co-opt and suppress disobedient vampires. What Ai Lan is worried about is still going to happen, because she knows that the current S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are two sides of the same coin, and these Hydras will definitely find a way to win over these vampires to become allies and use them to fight against superheroes, because Hydra has cooperated with vampires before, otherwise Venia would not be found by Hydra so easily.
Hydra also wants to get the Infinity Stones, and the Mind Gems were obtained by them after the invasion, if Ai Lan wants to get the Mind Stones, he is bound to have a fight with Hydra, once he does it with Hydra, it is equivalent to a war with S.H.I.E.L.D., and then the entire Avengers may go to war with Ai Lan, which is not a good situation.
"Alright, let's contact Tony Stark." Ai Lan couldn't think of any excuse to refuse Blade's offer, she had to say yes now, and when she returned, she would be ready to re-enchant and reinforce her floating fortress, and she would be ready for war.
"Shall we go to him, then?" Ai Lan asked.
"Wouldn't it be nice to call directly? He can fly. Blade said that his car hadn't been filled with gas lately.
"Okay." Ailan took out the phone and called Tony.
The call was quickly answered, and Tony's rogue gentlemanly way of speaking made Elan's lips pouting in dissatisfaction, but she still had to put up with it for the time being. "Tony, we have new intel on vampires, and I think you'll be interested." Aiming to stop giving Tony a chance to talk nonsense, Elan, she directly stated the purpose of her call.
"We?" Tony asked, noticing that Elan's was talking about us.
"Me and Blade."
"Hey, are you dating him, what's so good about this big black guy? Look at me."
"Do you want to turn into coke?" Ai Lan said through gritted teeth.
"Ahem, how was the last time we met at the bar? The wine is really good. Tony wisely changed the subject.
"You'd better hurry, we don't want to wait for you." Ai Lan hung up the phone directly.
"Alright, we'll wait for him at the bar from last time." Ai Lan said to the blade.
"I'm going to drive." Blade chose to pick up the car, he could feel that Ai Lan was a little unhappy now, he didn't want to be turned into a torch for some reason.
The bar is pretty close, and it only takes Blade twenty minutes to drive. Ai Lan pushed the door in, and Blade followed her in, giving the impression that Blade was Ai Lan's bodyguard. "Where did this woman get such a big fire, could it be that this is why she can have such a strong fire magic?" Blade had been on alert all the way, his hairs standing on end, his instincts telling him that Ailan was a bomb that would explode at the slightest touch.
"You're so slow, isn't it?" Before Tony finished speaking, he saw the fireball in Ailan's hand, and he hurriedly swallowed the remaining second half of the sentence, for fear that Ailan's fireball would hit him. Although he was wearing armor, he remembered how badly Obadai had been bombed.
"A martinny." Sitting in her chair, Elan ignored Tony, she glanced at Blade and said, "Show him something." ”
The handsome bartender put the wine in front of Ailan, and Tony pulled the bartender and asked, "Why are you the only one when you come?" ”
"I'm the boss." The handsome bartender stroked her hair and turned back to the bar, where she lay on her stomach and teased the kitten curled up in a ball on the bar.
Tony felt a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "I want vodka." ”
The handsome bartender gave him a blank look, a beauty is a beauty, and Tony felt that she rolled her eyes and was also full of charm. "Just say it, you don't need to be so loud." She found a bottle of vodka on the shelf, looked at the brand, and said with a smile: "Spirytus? ”
"Of course." Tony nodded.
With a cup of food, Tony felt as if his stomach was burning, then his esophagus, all the way down to his throat, and he felt like he could breathe fire. His eyes were red, the pictures on the scroll were blurry in his eyes, and he felt like tears were about to flow out.
"You're alright." The bartender asked with concern.
"Ahem, okay." Tony, of course, refused to show his timidity.
"That's good." The bartender smiled.
Ai Lan was also laughing happily over and over again, but it made Blade a little confused. "You don't mind if I have a drink too, do you?" Blade asked.
"Please." Tony pushed the bottle over.
Blade had a cup of belly, and his expression was not as exaggerated as Tony's, after all, he was a daywalker, far more powerful than ordinary people. "Is this alcohol?" He asked.
"Ninety-six percent, ninety-six percent alcohol." The bartender laughed and gloated.
Elan winked at the bartender, who understood. She went back to the bar and worked on it for a while, bringing three glasses of milk. "Special milk, rest assured, no alcohol." The handsome bartender noticed Tony's eyes, and she spoke.
Elane took a sip and put the cup down. Tony and Blade also took a sip when they saw this, Blade put down the glass, he didn't like to drink milk, Tony was the complete opposite of his performance, Tony drank it in one go, and he told the bartender with his eyes that he still wanted a drink. Seeing this, the bartender returned to the bar, and she took out a large leather water bag from under the bar and handed it to Tony.
"That's all." The bartender spoke.
Tony pulled the cork and took a few big sips, then stuffed the plug back and put the water bag on the table, the burning sensation in his body completely disappeared, a cold pleasure traveled all over his body, and the alternation of ice and fire made him feel as if he was alive again.
"That's pretty good." Tony exclaimed.
"We can't take out anything here." The bartender said holding the cat.
"Okay, I'll come often, then." Tony shrugged. (To be continued.) )
