24. Quint under the moon
Elsa came to Wayne Manor with her blood.
When she walked out of the taxi, Merlin was already waiting for her at the door of the manor.
"Why is it so embarrassing?"
Meilin frowned and looked at the few scratched bloodstone lady on her face in front of her, and he said:
"Are you in trouble?"
"Not a hassle."
Elsa wiped the wound on her face, and she grinned and said to Merlin:
"I followed the bat people, and their place was in Gotham, in the abandoned stadium, their nests, and some Assassin Leagues guarded there. I didn't disturb them, and I came back first. I suspected that Dr. Douglens, who was taken away, was also locked up."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go change your clothes first and then have a meal."
Merlin reached out and threw a healing spell and a cleaning spell on Elsa, making Miss Bloodstone's windbreaker clean quickly, he said:
"We'll go over together after dinner, it's time to end."
“This manor is pretty good.”
ASUSHIELD Consultant followed Merlin into Wayne Manor, walking in the beautifully rested and decorated garden with fountains and boulevards, she said to Merlin:
"This place reminds me of my manor. I grew up there and everything is very familiar, but it is not as big as here."
"It seems you are a rich girl too."
Merlin shrugged, and he said:
"I'm very miserable. I don't have a manor at home. I grew up on the farm."
"Ha, it's actually good to be a farmer."
Elsa shook her hair, she said without caring:
"When I was a child, I envied the sons of those farmers. I felt that they were so free. They didn't have to train swordsmanship every day, nor were they forced to learn the obscure alchemy."
"I think they will envy you too."
Merlin and Elsa walked side by side in the garden, he slowed down and said to Elsa:
"After all, not everyone has the opportunity to get access to those mysterious knowledge. In the eyes of children, those things are cool."
"Bang"
As soon as Merlin finished speaking, he heard the sound of objects breaking from the house like a castle in front of him. He stopped immediately. Elsa looked at him and said in confusion:
"What's wrong? It sounds like someone has dropped something. Don't you go and take a look?"
"That's a quarrel between father and son."
Merlin turned around and sat on the edge of the small fountain next to him with a headache. He patted the position beside him and said to Elsa:
"We should not get involved in other people's family affairs. Let's sit down, Elsa, we will go after they finish the argument."
"Why don't I know that Gotham's eldest son Bruce Wayne has a child? When I was taking the bus just now, the driver kept saying how much he envied Bruce Wayne, and told me a lot of gossip about Gotham's son."
Elsa sat next to Merlin. She glanced at the mansion in front of her and asked with interest:
"But it seems that their father-son relationship is not good. Is it an illegitimate child? Or is it another relationship? Is this an internal secret of an ancient family? And how did you know a playboy like Bruce Wayne? I heard that Bruce Wayne is very handsome and is the dream lover of all women. Let me tell you, I am quite interested in these things."
"I'm very handsome, too?"
Merlin glanced at his gossipy subordinate, shook his head and said to Elsa:
"Things are not as complicated as you think. Demian is not an illegitimate child either. His mother had a relationship with Bruce a few years ago. The lady is also my friend, and she is from a big family. In short, for various reasons, they did not come together in the end."
Merlin sighed and said briefly:
"My friend's family has been in decline over the past few years, so she asked me to send her and Bruce's son to Bruce. The child has a weird temper. As for Bruce, this guy has a weird temper. In short, I underestimated the difficulty of getting along with father and son. I only sent him over in the afternoon, and I have had arguing several times in the evening."
"Are you a rebellious boy?"
Elsa widened her eyes and said:
"This is very similar to the plot in those soap operas. I guess Bruce Wayne and his son will definitely encounter something, and then reconcile with each other. When the relationship between the two is getting better and better, Young Master Damian's mother will definitely appear suddenly, and then take away his son's story is played like this."
“Let’s watch less soap opera.”
Merlin glanced at Elsa, and he looked at the time of his watch and said:
"Those things are almost burning your brain. By the way, have you seen what I gave you last time?"
"Yeah, I've finished watching it."
Elsa moved her fingers and she looked at Merlin:
"But I'm very curious, where did you find the combat skills of the demon hunters? There are some records of alchemy and magic seals in it that have been lost in my house. How could you know?"
“I have my own channels.”
Merlin waved his hand and said:
"You don't need to know how they came about, you just need to learn them. Then, I mean, the knowledge that tracks the aliens can be sorted out and compiled into a book by ordinary agents."
"You want me to train your agents?"
Elsa is a very smart girl. She immediately understood Merlin's plan, she said:
"It seems to be beyond my job responsibilities?"
"We pay you so much money every month, and we don't ask you to watch soap operas in your own store, Elsa."
Merlin said:
"You also see the internal structure and personnel of sl.d., and you should also understand the difficulties I am facing now. I will definitely not find a second one with excellent assistants and warriors like you. Those witch hunters who follow their own rules cannot enter our system, so I can only use the resources at hand to the maximum extent."
"I don't need you to train them all to be as good as witch hunters as you."
Merlin reached out and grabbed a strand of Elsa's hair, put it in his hand and played with it. He said:
"I just need you to teach them the necessary knowledge to turn the situation around at critical moments, so that they can protect themselves when facing aliens."
"Hi!"
Elsa opened Merlin's hand and said angrily:
"You and I are not so familiar with you."
"Uh, then I apologize."
Merlin raised her hands and said to Elsa seriously:
"I was wrong."
"Hey."
Elsa looked at Merlin's serious look and she suddenly laughed. She stretched out her hand and put it on Merlin's shoulder. She said:
"I guess you must not play with girls often, right? You are so smart, and you are still so slow to talk about girls. It's not impossible to ask me to help you train your agents, but you can't help this busyness."
"Well, are all philanthropists like you?"
Merlin said:
"Look, I asked Blade for help, and I never had these extra things."
"That's because neither he nor Whistler are orthodox witch hunters."
Elsa yawned and she said seriously:
"We witch hunters have our own set of rules and ways of doing things. We cannot do anything to eliminate evil or help others. Even the legendary witch hunter White Wolf Master followed these rules. Hundreds of years ago, we used our own methods to make money, and hundreds of years later, we just changed our way. Even if we are familiar with each other, I will help you, and you will be rewarded."
“This is tradition!”
"All right."
Merlin looked at Elsa's face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Elsa:
"But I won't give you money, I will give you something else. I'm recently entrusting some of my friends to study the mutation process of the witch hunter using biological experiments. If it goes well, maybe after a while, they will come up with a plan."
"I mean, that will greatly increase the success rate of the witch hunter when he is under the grass trial. If you want, you can be the first experiment."
"Huh, why are you suddenly interested in this matter?"
Elsa looked at Merlin in a little surprised and said:
"Did you do these for me to help you?"
"No, I have my own plan."
Merlin shrugged as he looked at Elsa's shiny blue eyes:
"Of course, there is no problem with your understanding like this. After all, I can find you, you are the only witch hunter facing the trial of grass."
"You didn't lie to me, are you?"
Elsa looked at Merlin suspiciously and said:
"Mom told me that many men will deceive girls like me with sweet words."
"I can take you to see that lab."
Merlin said:
"I don't need to lie to you in this kind of thing."
"Yeah, I'll think about it."
Elsa did not immediately answer Merlin, which was related to the most important grass trial for the witch hunter, and she had to be cautious.
The two sat by the small fountain. In the mansion, the quarrel between Damian and Bruce continued, and the father and son seemed to have entered a stalemate. A few minutes later, Elsa touched her stomach and said weakly:
"It's so boring, can't we just go to have a meal?"
"Let's wait."
Merlin also felt a little bored, he said:
"Leave your time alone to Bruce and Demian, I believe they will reconcile. After all, they are connected in blood. Well, speaking of it, you are a witch hunter, so do you want to play the Gent card?"
Merlin took out the silver gold-edged Gent card left to him by the White Wolf from her pocket. Elsa glanced at the card and said to Merlin:
"You have learned this. It seems that you are really interested in the witch hunter."
As she spoke, Miss Bloodstone was excited and took out a set of green card back from her magic pocket, waved it in front of Merlin, and said proudly:
"You have a deck for the North, a novice. Let me tell you, in the French Quint circle, no one can beat the squirrel party in my hands."
"I'm not really good at playing."
Merlin said:
"Maybe you can teach me that we have nothing to do now anyway."
"OK."
Elsa set her cards on the stone platform beside the fountain. She reached out and tied up her shaking hair, like a female warrior going to the battlefield. She said to Merlin with a sly smile:
"The most interesting thing about slaughtering vegetables is. Also, you need to bet on playing gutter, this is a tradition."
“emmmm”
Merlin touched his pocket and finally found a jewelry box containing the things he had obtained from Vlad III's hand collection a few months ago. He placed the jewelry box between the two, opened it, pointed to the pendant inside and said:
"That's my bet, what about yours?"
"I use this!"
Elsa took out a crystal bottle filled with potions from her pocket, she said:
"This is the Hekna decoction I made a few days ago. It is the standard combat potion for the witch hunter. It is worth 100 Gallons in the black market in the Fendo Lane."
Meilin pulled out the bottle plug of the crystal bottle and sniffed it. The decoction smelled quite nice and had a fragrance of flowers and plants.
"OK."
Merlin took out a card and said to Elsa, who was smiling like a little fox who had stolen a chicken:
"If I win, you will give me this recipe for decoction."
"You win first."
Elsa grabbed a hand and said to Merlin with great satisfaction:
"As a beginner, you're really upset."
"I have a hunch, I'll really win."
Merlin showed a mysterious smile. On the branch behind Elsa, where Miss Bloodstone didn't know, the spirit raven Victor was standing there quietly. In its position, he could clearly see the cards in Elsa's hand.
Victor's vision is shared with Merlin.
Well, of course, this is not cheating.
