According to Merlin's experience, ordinary people have no resistance to the sleeping spell.
This spell is not a killer black magic, so there is no such thing as saving throw. Even people with firm will easily be affected by the sleeping spell. Even if they cannot go to sleep immediately, they will become exhausted because they are hit by the sleeping spell.
Therefore, in the actions of the Aurors, the sleeping spell is one of the most frequently used attack spells, but if you have an advantage, you will definitely have weaknesses.
The weakness of the sleeping mantra is that the time when sleeping is uncertain.
Some people may sleep all day because of the mantra, but some people may wake up in a few minutes.
The most troublesome thing is that this time limit is almost no trace. Of course, for wizards, this is almost not a weakness. Even if you wake up, throwing a sleeping spell won't waste too much time.
"Swish"
After being hit by the sleeping curse, the little girl who was holding a bowl of porridge was almost immediately lying on the table. The bowl of porridge in her hand fell to the ground, but before it was broken, she was caught by a hand that suddenly appeared.
Merlin placed the bowl on the table, and he appeared from the shadows and walked to the old man who was sleeping in the chair. He reached out and pushed his eyelids away and looked at him.
"legilimens!(Soul-capturing Curse)"
Accompanied by Merlin's spell, the next moment, his will entered the old man's mind in front of him.
The first scene he saw was also the most memorable scene of the old man, which was the scene when his father handed him the Hydra ring in his hand when he was a child.
“Blood brings glory and responsibility.”
The old man's father said this to him.
Merlin snorted disdainfully.
The saying "blood brings glory" is a famous saying by those blood-professional, crazy racist madman. It seems that the identity of this old man is indeed unclear.
At least his father is a loyal ***.
After learning this, Merlin stopped holding back. With the maintenance of magic, the memory fragments he dug have become more and more.
Merlin browsed quickly in it, and the content about the banker trivia Merlin didn't care. What he was looking for was about the connection between this guy and Hydra.
"Have it!"
Merlin saw a picture of several people, including the old man, meeting at a luxury decor and brightly lit high-end cocktail party. They all looked very identifiable and seemed to be close to each other.
Merlin noticed that these people were wearing some special signs, either rings, bracelets, necklaces, or brooches. The signs all concealed the body with different patterns, but if you look closely, you can see the logo of the skeleton octopus surrounded by those patterns.
However, most of the skeleton octopus logos of these people are subtle, perhaps representing different factions in the Hydra organization.
Moreover, when they meet, they will whisper a sentence similar to a code to each other in a soothing and serious tone.
“Haiilhydra! (Long live Hydra)”
"You are indeed a Hydra!"
Now, Meilin had no sympathy for this kind-hearted old man, and he once again increased his efforts to read memories.
The next moment, another fragment of memory buried deep in the hearts of Hydra bankers was dug out.
It was a round table with a heavy atmosphere.
The old man sat at the table, the lights were very dim, which fit the atmosphere of a secret association. At first glance, there were at least 10 people sitting beside the huge table!
“We found important information.”
A guy with a mask said:
"It gives us the message of a powerful warrior, just like a super soldier like Steve Rogers during World War II. And this thing is different from the 'Death Warrior Plan' that has been failing, and it is also different from the very unreliable Inhuman project that Daniel is obsessed with. It has entered the final trial stage."
"Then find a way to get it."
Sitting at the other end of the table, a woman with a charming and husky voice said:
"But you're here to tell the news, I guess, do you need help?"
"yes."
The first person to speak said:
"I cannot use our deep-burned power, and I will be discovered by the difficult Fury. I must use external power. Madam, can the wizards under your command complete the tasks I need them to do?"
"If it's torture and murder."
The woman called "Madam" said casually:
"no problem."
"very good."
The man said with satisfaction:
“Besides that, I need something else.”
He said:
"Children are always the weakness of adults. If you want loyal and capable people to serve us, you must seize one. Bankers, those friends you have made recently in the 'dark' should be able to do this easily. They can still hide their eyes and ears. Just take this as a sincere expression before we cooperate with each other."
"no problem."
The old banker answered readily:
"Give me a message, I will arrange it, Your Excellency Speaker."
"Next, we should talk about the situation in Eastern Europe. Regarding the demands of the Ten Lords Gang, I think their thoughts are very dangerous, not."
Merlin was quietly reading this memory, but at this moment, the speaker's voice suddenly disappeared, and the review of this memory became blurred.
It's like a banker can no longer maintain normal thinking.
Merlin broke the soul-catching curse, and he saw a strange blue color spread on the banker's old face.
It's like being poisoned!
Merlin frowned and threw a healing spell on the old man, trying to help him delay the spread of the strange toxin, but beyond Merlin's expectation, the healing spell had no effect at all.
The blue brilliance spread very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and the old man code-named banker completely lost his breath.
"This is not a toxin"
Merlin took a step back and carefully checked the banker who was still gentle and looked like he was asleep.
After a moment, he couldn't help but clench his fingers.
"This is a curse. It was my reading of his memory that triggered this curse."
"In Hydra, there is the power of a wizard. No, it is not necessarily a wizard, but it is definitely related to magic."
Merlin felt a little frustrated at this moment. He still did not master the knowledge of magic well enough. He did not even notice the curse released in the body of the banker before he began the soul-catching curse.
But Merlin didn't find nothing.
He glanced at the banker who had lost his breath, then at his living wife and granddaughter beside him. He shook his head, turned around and turned into black mist, and disappeared into the restaurant.
He already knew the cause of Richard and Mary's death, and the reason why Peter Jr. was kidnapped.
S.H.E.L.D. was infiltrated, and Richard and Mary's research was leaked, which caused them to be killed. They kidnapped Peter Jr. with the hands of the vampire radicals to try to threaten them, etc., which was wrong.
Merlin, who had already taken back to Du Pengde's taxi, rubbed his forehead and suddenly woke up.
He ignored an important issue, that is time.
Richard and Mary were killed at around 11 a.m., while Peter Jr. was kidnapped last night near midnight.
If Hydra had planned all this, it would be meaningless to kidnap Peter after Richard and Mary had died. These Hydras with deep hidden attention to confidentiality, and they should not do such exotic things.
Unless, there is a secret behind this incident that Merlin doesn't know.
"pity"
Merlin sat in the back seat of the speeding taxi. He looked at the shining sunlight outside the window with a little sadness, and he whispered:
"The clues are broken at the moment, but Richard, Mary don't worry, before all the people who are stained with blood on their hands pay enough"
"I won't stop."
"I will take care of your children, and I will watch Little Peter become as good as you. He must become a good person, and that's my promise!"
"Don't worry, go"
A few days later, in a cemetery on the outskirts of New York City, Merlin, wearing a black suit and an umbrella in the rain, looked at the coffin in front of him expressionlessly, which was covered with soil.
Beside him, my cousin cried in his brother-in-law's arms in great pain, and there were tears in his eyes.
Eric, Charlie, Little Matt, who had just joined the Merlin family, and Little Peter with a ignorant look on his face, everyone stood in front of this simple tombstone.
Next to Merlin is Hill in a black suit, who came to mourn on behalf of Fury and S.H.E.L.D.
At the funeral, there was also a slightly stranger, Vivian Graham, who came on behalf of the imperial organization. In the past few months, they had a great conversation with the Richards and had a happy cooperation.
Father Paul, wearing a priest costume, held the Bible, and in this falling raindrop, he said in a solemn voice:
"Our God is a fire, for the people of our nation will be driven out into the darkness outside."
"You have returned to the earth, because you have been born from it."
"We don't have a city that lasts forever."
Father Paul's voice was filled with a deep sadness. He was a qualified clergyman, and even Merlin could not help but close his eyes in his voice.
He raised the umbrella in his hand towards Hill, feeling the rain falling from the sky and the cold raindrops.
This is not the first time he has lost his family.
After his birth, his parents died in disaster.
But this is the first time Merlin has lost his family and friends after he has the power to protect himself and protect others.
That feeling of powerlessness between life and death made Meilin's heart full of self-blame pain.
"Maybe sometimes, peace is not the only answer."
He whispered.
Beside him, Hill heard this sentence. Hill looked at Merlin. Her commander was still the same as before, and there was no change.
But Hill could feel that Merlin had indeed changed.
During the period after returning from Afghanistan, Chief Merlin has undergone some changes.
Just like wine brewing in the darkness, something that cannot be seen on the outside is slowly fermenting in his heart, but at least no one knows what it will produce.
A few minutes later, the funeral ended.
Ben, who had been forced to cheer up, talked to Hill and Vivian. Eric took the hands of Peter and Matt and walked back into the car. Charlie helped the sad May leave the sad place.
As for Merlin, he stood alone in front of the tombstone, and he looked at the name on the tombstone, and he was in a very complicated mood.
"Everyone can say good things about the dead, but the funeral is for the living. If the past is tampered with, it will weaken the lessons we have learned from death. You may also learn some lessons, Mr. Merlin."
A strange voice came from behind Merlin. Merlin did not look back. He whispered in a cold tone:
"I'm not in a good mood now and don't have time to discuss philosophy with a half vampire."
"Get you out in 5 seconds!"
"I'm not here to discuss philosophy with you, either."
Behind Merlin, a semi-vampire wearing a black leather windbreaker, lined with black vests and military leather pants, wearing combat boots, sunglasses, short hair, black gloves, and a straight bladed knife behind her back, walked to Merlin step by step in the rain.
He looked at the tombstone, and after a moment he said to Merlin:
"I'm here to warn you."
"What you did in Queens angered Dickon Forrest, the leader of the militant vampire, issued a reward for you. He paid $20 million to buy your head, and you should be careful lately."
"Oh? Is it?"
Merlin had his hands in his suit's pants pockets, and he stood in the increasingly majestic rain, with his eyes closed, like a sculpture.
Faced with the strange semi-vampire warning, the corners of his mouth slightly raised on his pale face, and a sarcastic smile appeared.
"It's so good, it's just my wish."
"Come on, let them come."
"Let me see what kind of rat friends who are highly regarded in their almost sunk ship are included in their rat ship. Don't you introduce yourself before leaving?"
Behind Merlin, the semi-vampire who was silent as Tathagata had turned around and walked several steps.
After hearing Merlin's inquiry, he stopped and said without looking back:
"Blade."
