When Merlin first came to New York, he knew that there were many small docks for stock on both sides of the Hudson River.
Those wharfs are scattered on both sides of this once glorious river. Many of them have become historical embellishments in the era of inland shipping decline. Except for some docks close to the trade channel, many small docks have been sealed up or have been transformed for other purposes.
For those familiar with the terrain, those docks are suitable for hiding secrets.
Merlin knew that Tucker of Hell Kitchen, that guy was on the edge of Hell Kitchen, had two small docks belonging to him, one for arms business and the other for other businesses.
Coincidentally, the now-massive civilian vampire leader in New York offers a reward of a large sum of money for Dickon Forest, who was in Merlin's head, to make blood powder, and is also on a hidden dock.
To be honest, the straight line distance from the Hell Kitchen is really close. Merlin only needs to let Victor fly a little further and you can easily discover it.
Many times, we are only one step away from the truth, but if we cannot find the key information, this simple step is as difficult to cross as if it is a short distance from the world.
There was a dead silence on the dock at night.
A beautiful lady stood by the dock with some annoyance, smoking a fragrant lady cigarette after another. She was wearing a white dress similar to an office suit and a thin gauze coat. Under the wind at night, her proud figure and delicate appearance made her look as seductive as a goddess in the lake.
But unfortunately, this is a vampire.
He is also a rare pure blood vampire.
Her name is Mercury, she is Dickon Forest's companion, and the most capable subordinate of the ambitious leader of the radical vampire.
How a pure-blooded vampire stayed with a semi-vampire like Dicken, who was born in a "lowly" form, is a story that is difficult to explain clearly. Maybe it was because she was young and frivolous, or maybe it was because she was really attracted by the aura of innocence and evil, and unruly dissoluteness in Dicken.
In short, when Dicken was just a hunting dog under the American Vampire Presbyterian Church, Mercury abandoned his original surname and stood with Dicken.
Her feelings for Dickon are very complicated, but it is undeniable that there are indeed many elements of admiration.
But recently, Miss Mercury has felt an emotional crisis.
Dicken, who had been with her all day, met her less and less often. When Dicken's power became stronger and stronger, the mercury that should have stood beside him as the person Dicken trusted the most was also placed on this remote dock in an "exiled" manner.
Despite everything carried out here, it is extremely important for Dicken's "big cause". The ability to make mercury responsible for the production and circulation of blood powder also shows Dicken's trust in her.
But Mercury just feels the crisis, it is a crisis of being a woman.
"It's all because of that witch!"
The beautiful vampire lady threw the cigarette in her hand angrily under her feet and wiped it with her high heels decorated with broken diamonds. She used this method to vent her inner dissatisfaction.
They were all the woman who suddenly appeared a few months ago. She used some dirty method to seduce Dicken. Otherwise, how could Dicken be so estranged from her if he loved her so much?
"Sooner or later, you will be scratched your face!"
A vicious expression of a vampire flashed across Mercury's beautiful face.
She looked at the sea water under the dark curtain in front of her, and she snorted coldly, turned around, and planned to go back to the dock to see if the lowly half-vampire workers were lazy again.
During this period, Dicon sold blood powder not only to expand his power, but also to attract the attention of the group of hunting dogs that Demon France would be the tough and aggressive s.d.o.l.d.
This is a strategic task. Only when external forces are not intervened can the Dicken's plan to attack the American Vampire Presbyterian Church be promoted more smoothly.
As Dickon's most capable assistant, Mercury knew the significance of this incident.
Although she has already had a crisis of falling out of favor as a woman, she still hopes to help her lover do this well due to her distorted relationship with Dickon.
However, the moment Miss Mercury turned around, she suddenly saw the thing that shouldn't have appeared behind her.
A dark red, ugly bird was standing at the top of the railing behind her, closing its wings and looking at her with a sharp look.
The bird looks like a crow, and its illusory appearance means that it is a strange energy creature, a rare, magical spirit!
This made Mercury feel a little crisis.
"It's really rare to have a pure blood species."
Merlin's slightly hoarse voice also suddenly sounded behind Mercury at this moment.
"Woooooo"
The Raven Spirit Victor whistled, flapped his wings, and landed lightly on Merlin's raised arm. Each person and his pet were just in the dark, staring at Miss Mercury in front of him, which made the latter feel the extreme threat.
“Rare Merlin.”
Vampires are strongly perceived creatures, and the perception ability of pure blood is almost like a weakened version of dark perception.
And obviously, she had met Merlin before.
Mercury quickly retreated, but behind her, a thick cloud of mist had spread around her. Apparently, she was trapped.
Miss Vampire's finger gently twitched her white dress, and a buzzing sword with a blood groove appeared in its hand. It was indeed a pure blood species, and even when choosing weapons, she carried the pretentious aesthetics of vampires.
"How could a pure blood species hang out with a semi-vampire like Dickon?"
Merlin raised his head and under his hood, he reached out and pushed his frameless glasses, he said:
"In your eyes, aren't semi-vampires a humble and impure existence? Or do you do all this for love?"
Speaking of this, Merlin smiled meaningfully, and he said:
"I'm actually very curious. Do vampires like you really have the emotion of love?"
“It’s useless to say more!”
Mercury didn't want to answer any of Merlin's questions. Her eyes were red, her nails became cold and slender, and her originally beautiful cheeks were twisted at this moment. Obviously, she was ready for the battle.
She said coldly:
"I won't let you break Dickon's plan! No matter what you want to do, you won't be able to achieve your goal tonight!"
"Ah, you vampires always like to say what's the purpose or what's the purpose."
Merlin shook his head, and the raven spirit on his arm flew into the sky. He moved his fingers, and the silver-gray crossbow appeared in his hand. In his other hand, the blue-gray steel cane quickly turned into a slightly thick and technological one-handed sword.
This is the fighting form of the Cybertron weapon module, and it is also a form rarely used by Merlin.
"Don't be stupid!"
He looked at the vampire Mercury in front of him, and he said in a cold voice:
"Kill you is just an extra benefit for my work tonight"
"ah!"
Under Merlin's provocation, Miss Mercury stepped on sharp high heels that could poke people to death and rushed towards Merlin at the speed of a white shadow.
She is a purely blood vampire. When it comes to simple combat power, even the radical vampire leader Dicken is not her opponent!
She was able to capture Dicken's admiration for nearly 30 years, not just her beautiful face. Which female vampire does not have a face that can charm the world?
"Swish"
Mercury was obviously a master of sword use. While her wrist flipped, the prickly sword with blood trough was like a poisonous snake foraging, and it pierced through Merlin's heart in the first blow.
But the moment the sword pierced into Meilin's chest, Mercury's face changed drastically and the blade did pierce through Meilin's chest, but the fingers holding the sword did not feel like they stabbed the entity.
There is only a light touch, like a sword blade stabbed into a cloud of smoke. : :
"I've been fooled!"
Merlin acted like a head-on battle, making Mercury mistakenly think that this guy was going to fight her in close combat.
But not!
Raven Merlin doesn’t have the habit of fighting melee with the enemy!
Mercury retreated at an extremely fast speed, but before her, Merlin's gentle face was already full of a sarcastic smile.
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish"
As Merlin raised his right hand, the flying silver arrows shot six times in a second, and directly emptyed half of the arrow box in the silver-gray crossbow's storm-like hiss.
Mercury tried her best and avoided four of them at this very short distance, but was stabbed by two holy silver arrows on her shoulders and arms. The next moment when the burning pain rose, Merlin's figure appeared strangely from behind her and from the fog. The blue-gray heavy sword in his right hand slapped the unexpected Mercury in a slap posture.
"Bang"
The beautiful female vampire was like a baseball hit. Under this heavy blow, she lost her balance and fell to the ground wailingly.
Just as she was struggling to get up, another precise crossbow arrow pierced her back from behind, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground again.
Merlin's left hand also poked out quickly from the floating fog towards her neck.
There was no weapon on the left hand, but with the approaching of the five fingers, Mercury's already not much happiness was quickly absorbed, and hope was also absorbed. Gray despair was like smoke, quickly filling its heart.
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
Mercury widened his eyes at this moment, and the instinct of a pure-blooded vampire was calling the police wildly. Once the gloves shining with orange fluorescent light touched the body, something terrifying would definitely happen.
It is very likely that it is eternal silence!
But it is just a young vampire, and it has at least 1,000 years to live! It is far from ready to die!
"ah!"
Mercury screamed, and the moment before the dementor kiss on Merlin's hand was about to touch its skin, the pure blood vampire's talent suddenly burst out.
In front of Merlin, the pure-blooded vampire who had lost its combat power quickly dissipated into hundreds of small bats in the flash of blood light. In the awkward hiss, the bats fled wildly like black storms.
"Woooo!"
Victor, a raven who was patrolling in the sky, screaming and falling from the air. The raven showed fierce predator instinct at this moment. In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen small bats were torn apart.
These bats are not entities.
This bat transformation is an instinctive talent used by pure-blooded vampires to escape. Those bats represent the vitality of mercury. The difficulty of pure-blooded vampires is here. Even if their strength is far higher than that, under such bat transformation, if they are not prepared in advance, they are likely to be escaped by vampires.
Hundreds of bats, as long as one escapes, it means that the pure blood vampire survives.
"Don't think about leaving!"
The black smoke suddenly expanded at this moment. As Merlin shouted loudly, the bats flying in all directions were shrouded in the smoke. In the burst of scorching light, the bats were roasted into ashes with magic power.
But there was no serious mercury-injured body on the ground.
The pure blood vampire ran away.
But Victor locked in the direction of the escaped little bat, and the raven made a loud noise and rushed quickly towards the direction of Mercury's escape.
"Run, little girl."
Merlin rushed into the sky quickly and rushed in the direction of Victor's flight, and he whispered:
"Run quickly."
"puff"
A few minutes later, the seriously injured pure blood vampire Mercury could no longer hold on.
Her weak body could not maintain the transformation of the bat, and she fell from the air in a mess, falling on a remote street.
In the dim street light, the weak Mercury got up hard, but before she could tell the surrounding environment, she could reach out to wipe off the blood on her face, she saw a girl in a cool brown-yellow hunting suit standing in front of her.
The tall girl was wearing a black windbreaker and a package in her hand, looking dusty, as if she had just returned from a foreign country, she was watching the mercury falling from the sky under the street lights.
The girl had bright orange-yellow hair, tied into a single ponytail behind her head. In the light of the street light, her blue eyes blinked, as if she was wondering why this weak pure blood vampire fell from the sky before her eyes.
"Forget it, I don't want this anymore."
The girl threw the bag behind her back aside. She reached out and plucked the long hair in her ear. As her fingers with blue leather gloves flipped, a silver-gray, large-caliber revolver with magic hunting runes was aimed at the shocked Miss Mercury.
The girl whispered under the street light:
"For the first time I met, I will introduce myself. My name is Elsa, Elsa. Bloodstone. The profession is"
