Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 241 6. Unlucky girl

When Merlin came to New York for the first time, he knew that there were many small docks for storage on both sides of the Hudson River.

Those piers are dotted all over the sides of this once glorious river. Many of them have become embellishments of history in the era of the decline of inland waterway shipping. Except for some piers near the trade channel that are still in use, many small The piers have all been dusted off or repurposed for other purposes.

For those who know the terrain, those docks are a good place to hide secrets.

Merlin knew that Tucker of Hell's Kitchen was on the edge of Hell's Kitchen. He had two small piers, one for arms business and the other for other businesses.

Coincidentally, the base used by Dickon Forrester, the leader of the most powerful civilian vampires in New York, who offered a huge bounty for Merlin's head to make blood powder, was also on a hidden pier.

To be honest, that place is really close to Hell's Kitchen in a straight line, so close that Merlin only needs to let Victor fly a little farther away, and he can easily find it.

In many cases, 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 a world away.

On the pier at night, there is a dead silence.

A beautiful lady stood a little restlessly by the pier, smoking aromatic ladies cigarettes one after another. She was wearing white clothes similar to office wear, and she was wearing a thin light jacket Under the wind blowing at night, her proud figure and exquisite appearance made her look as tempting as the goddess of the lake.

Unfortunately, this is a vampire.

She is also a rare pure blood vampire.

Her name is Quicksilver, and she is Dickon Forrest's partner and the most powerful subordinate of the ambitious leader of the radical vampire faction.

How a pure-blood vampire got to stay with a half-vampire of "lowly" birth like Dickon is a difficult story to tell.Maybe it was because she was young and frivolous, maybe she was really attracted by Dickon's innocent, evil, and unrestrained aura.

In short, when Dickon was just a hunting dog under the command of the American Blood Clan Presbyterian Church, Quicksilver abandoned his original surname and stood with Dickon.

Her feelings for Dickon are very complicated, but it is undeniable that there is indeed a lot of love in it.

But recently, Miss Mercury has felt an emotional crisis.

Dickon, who used to stay with her all day long, saw her less and less. When Dickon became more and more powerful, Quicksilver, who was supposed to be by his side as Dickon's most trusted person, But he was also placed on this remote pier in the attitude of "exile".

Although everything going on here is extremely important to Dickon's "great cause", allowing Quicksilver to be in charge of the production and distribution of blood powder also shows Dickon's trust in her.

But Mercury felt a crisis, a crisis of being a woman.

"It's all because of that witch!"

The beautiful vampire lady resentfully threw the cigarette in her hand at her feet, and wiped it with her high-heeled shoes embellished with broken diamonds resentfully.In this way, she vented her inner dissatisfaction.

It was all that woman who suddenly appeared a few months ago. She seduced Dickon in some nasty way. Otherwise, how could Dickon, who loved her so much, alienate her so much?

"Sooner or later, your face will be scratched!"

A vicious look of a vampire flashed across Mercury's pretty face.

She looked at the sea under the dark scene in front of her, snorted coldly, turned around, and planned to go back to the pier to see if those lowly half-vampire workers were slacking off again.

Dickon's aggressive selling of blood powder during this period of time is not just to expand his power, but also to attract the attention of the Magic Congress and the difficult and aggressive SDOLD group of hounds.

This is a strategic task. Only when no external force intervenes can Dickon's plan to attack the American Sanguine Presbyterian Church proceed more smoothly.

As Dickon's most capable assistant, Quicksilver is well aware of the significance of this matter.

Although she already had a crisis of falling out of favor as a woman instinctively, but due to her distorted feelings for Dickon, she still hoped to help her lover and do this well.

However, the moment Miss Quicksilver turned around, she suddenly saw something behind her that shouldn't appear.

A dark red, ugly bird was standing on the top of the railing behind her, with its wings folded, sizing her up with a sharp gaze.

This bird looks like a crow, and its illusory appearance represents that it is a strange energy creature itself, a rare spirit with magical powers!

This made Mercury feel a sense of crisis.

"A pure-blood... is really rare."

Merlin's slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind Quicksilver at this moment.

"woooo"

Victor, the spirit of the raven, screamed, flapped his wings, and lightly landed on Merlin's raised arm.One person, one pet, staring directly at Miss Mercury in front of him in the dark night, made the latter feel extremely threatened.

"Raven... Merlin."

Vampires are highly sentient beings, and purebloods' perception is almost like a weakened version of dark perception.

And obviously, she had met Merlin before.

Mercury retreated quickly, but behind him, a cloud of dense mist had already spread around.Apparently, she was stuck.

Miss Vampire's finger twitched lightly on her white dress, and a buzzing rapier with a blood groove appeared in its hand.It really is a pure-blooded species, and even when choosing weapons, it has the pretentious aesthetics of vampires.

"How could a pure-blood mix with a half-vampire like Dickon?"

Merlin raised his head. Under the hood, he reached out and pushed his rimless glasses. He said:

"In your eyes, aren't half-vampires humble and impure? Or...you do all this for love?"

Having said that, Merlin smiled inexplicably, and said:

"I'm actually curious, do vampires like you really have the emotion of love?"

"It's useless to talk too much!"

Mercury didn't want to answer any of Merlin's questions. Her eyes were flushed, her nails became cold and slender, and her originally beautiful cheeks also twisted at this moment.Clearly, she was ready to fight.

She said coldly:

"I won't let you spoil Dickon's plans! Whatever you want to do, don't try to achieve it tonight!"

"Yeah, you vampires. You always like to talk about goals and purposes."

Merlin shook his head, the spirit of the raven on his arm flew into the sky screaming, he moved his fingers, and a silver-gray crossbow appeared in his hand, and in the other hand, a blue-gray steel cane also quickly changed into a It has become a slightly heavy, high-tech one-handed sword.

This is the fighting form of the Cybertron weapon module, and it is also a form that Merlin rarely uses.

"Do not be silly!"

He looked at the vampire Quicksilver in front of him, and said in a cold voice:

"Killing you is just a bonus for my work tonight..."

"ah!"

Under Merlin's provocation, Miss Mercury stepped on the sharp high-heeled shoes that could stab people to death, and rushed towards Merlin at the same speed as a white shadow.

She is a pure-blooded vampire, and when it comes to pure combat power, even the radical vampire leader Dickon is no match for her!

She was able to capture Dickon's love for nearly 30 years, not only because of her pretty face... In other words, which female vampire does not have a face that can charm the world? ?

"Swish"

Mercury is obviously a master of swords. When she flipped her wrist, the blood-slotted stabbing sword was like a poisonous snake looking for food. The first strike was precise and vicious, piercing Merlin's heart.

But the moment the long sword pierced Merlin's chest, Mercury's expression changed drastically... The blade of the sword did penetrate Merlin's chest, but the fingers holding the sword didn't feel like they were piercing the real body at all.

There's just a light touch, like... a blade piercing a puff of smoke.

"be cheated!"

Merlin put on a look of fighting head-on, making Quicksilver mistakenly think that this guy was going to fight her in close combat.

but not!

Raven Merlin...isn't even in the habit of fighting enemies in melee!

Quicksilver backed away at an extremely fast speed, but in front of her eyes, Merlin's gentle face was already full of ironic smiles.

"Whoosh whoosh"

Accompanied by the raising of Merlin's right hand, amidst the storm-like neighing of the silver-gray hand crossbow, flying silver arrows shot six times within a second, directly emptying half of the quiver.

Quicksilver tried his best to avoid 4 arrows in this extremely short distance, but was stabbed in the shoulder and arm by two holy silver arrows.And at the next moment when the burning pain rose, Merlin's figure appeared strangely from behind her, from the mist, and the blue-gray epee in his right hand slapped fiercely in a slapping posture. Behind the unexpected Mercury.

"boom"

The beautiful female vampire was like a baseball being hit. Under this heavy blow, she lost her balance and fell to the ground screaming.

Just as she was struggling to get up, another precise crossbow pierced her back from behind, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground again.

Merlin's left hand also quickly reached out from the drifting mist towards her neck.

The left hand didn't have any weapons, but as the five fingers approached, the meager happiness in Mercury's heart was quickly absorbed, and hope was also absorbed. The gray despair filled it like smoke. heart.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Quicksilver's eyes widened at this moment, and the instinct of a pure-blooded vampire was crazily calling the police. Once the gleaming orange fluorescent gloves touched his body, something terrible would definitely happen.

Very likely, it is Eternal Silence!

But it... it's just a young vampire with at least 1000 years to live!It is far from ready to die!

"what!"

Quicksilver screamed, and just before the Dementor's Kiss in Merlin's hand was about to touch its skin, the pure blood vampire's innate ability suddenly exploded.

Before Merlin's eyes, the pure-blooded vampire who had lost his combat effectiveness quickly dissipated into hundreds of little bats under the shining blood-red light. Amidst the ugly hissing, those bats were like a black storm. Fleeing wildly in all directions.

"Wow!"

Victor, the raven parading in the sky, screamed and fell from the sky. At this moment, the raven showed its fierce predator instinct. In the blink of an eye, a dozen little bats were torn apart.

These bats are not entities.

This bat form is the instinctive talent of pure-blooded vampires to escape, and those bats represent the vitality of mercury.This is where the pure blood vampire is difficult to deal with. Even if the strength is much higher than it, under such a bat form, if there is no preparation in advance, the vampire is likely to escape.

Hundreds of bats, as long as one escapes, it means that the pure blood vampire has survived.

"Don't want to go!"

The black smoke suddenly expanded at this moment. Under Merlin's stern scolding, the bats flying in all directions were shrouded in the smoke. In the burst of scorching light, those bats were forcibly roasted into ashes. .

But on the ground, there was no body seriously injured by Mercury.

That pure-blooded vampire still ran away.

But Victor locked the direction of the fleeing little bat, and the raven neighed, and quickly rushed towards the direction where Quicksilver was escaping.

"Run, little girl."

Merlin rushed into the sky quickly, rushing in the direction of Victor's flight, he said softly:

"Let's run."

--------------

"puff"

A few minutes later, the badly wounded pure-blooded vampire Quicksilver couldn't hold on any longer.

Her weak body was unable to maintain the form of a bat, and she fell from the air in a state of embarrassment, falling on a remote street.

In the dim streetlights, the weak Quicksilver struggled to get up, but before she could discern the surrounding environment, before she reached out to wipe off the blood on her face, she saw a man in a cool brown-yellow hunting suit. girl standing in front of her.

The tall girl was wearing a black windbreaker coat and was holding a package in her hand. She looked dusty, as if she had just returned from a foreign country. She was standing under the streetlights on the street, looking at it so strangely. of mercury.

The girl had bright orange-yellow hair tied into a single ponytail at the back of her head. In the light of the street lamp, her blue eyes blinked, as if wondering why this weak, pure-blooded vampire would fall from the sky. falling before her eyes.

"Forget it, I don't want these anymore."

The girl threw the bag behind her back aside, and she reached out to pluck the long hair around her ears. While flipping her fingers in blue leather gloves, a handful of silver-gray, large-caliber, engraved with witch-hunting amulets Wen's revolver was aimed at the astonished Miss Quicksilver.

The girl whispered under the street lamp:

"We're meeting for the first time, let me introduce myself. My name is Elsa, Elsa Bloodstone. My occupation is..."

"Vampire hunter."
