Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 282 7. Friend in a foreign land. Wife Thalia--add more for brothers who specialize in playing games [3440]

Interlaken, a tourist resort in Bern, Switzerland, is just under the Jungfrau peak known as the "Spine of Europe", and is located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. It is a standard European tourist attraction. The small town is also a resort area that many people come here for.

This city is very small, with a permanent population of less than 6. Merlin who turned into a raven can scan the entire city in less than 10 minutes.

But compared to this peaceful small city, Merlin preferred that the members of the League of Assassins should hide in the mountains around the city.

The Jungfrau is a part of the Alps, with an altitude of over 4000 meters. In this mountain range covered with unmelted snow all year round, there are too many places for those hidden assassins to hide, and it is necessary to do precise shooting in this mountain range. It is almost impossible for a foreigner who just came to this place to locate their tracks.

Merlin is carrying a bag, a hat, and a camera around his neck, hiding himself as a backpacker.

He was walking on the streets of this small city. In the sky dozens of kilometers away, Victor was flying in the sky of the Jungfraujoch, trying to use the most primitive way to find the hidden place of the League of Assassins here.

But that won't be easy.

Merlin's dark perception was also turned on, and as he moved, it was like a detection radar, searching for nearby pedestrians.

The League of Assassins is a military organization. Although most of their members are ordinary people, the souls carried in the bodies of those who have undergone strict training are different from those of ordinary people.

In this way, he wanted to find the members of the Assassin Alliance hiding in this place, and then follow the clues to find their stronghold.

But frankly, this method is not necessarily effective.

The Batman's attack on various cities in North America happened a few months ago. If the Alliance of Assassins had invited those forces, then according to their execution ability, what they had done in these few months had already been settled.

Merlin missed a great opportunity.

But it's okay.

As long as the members of the League of Assassins are still here, Merlin will be able to find them, it just takes more time and effort.

And when passing by an ice cream stand on the street, Merlin suddenly sensed a special aura in his dark perception.

Faint, faintly present, belongs to the devil's breath.

And most importantly, Merlin was very familiar with that breath.

Sannomiya!

This is the extension of the power of Sangong.

There is a suspected Sannomiya's "son" active nearby!

Merlin's gaze immediately turned to the source of the devil's aura. Among the children surrounding the ice cream stand, Merlin quickly found his target.

A boy with short hair, light green eyes, and a well-fitting little suit.

He was taking two cones from the ice cream merchant, and when Merlin was observing him, he seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look at Merlin very keenly.

And the latter was holding the camera at this time, and shouted to him in a very exaggerated voice:

"Little handsome guy, have a smile."

"cut"

The little boy put on a cold look, turned his head away from Merlin, turned around, took the cone, and walked quickly into a cafe on the street.

After watching the little boy leave, Merlin put down the camera, and a light shone in his eyes behind the rimless glasses.

That little boy has the power of the Sangongmo, and those magic powers infiltrate his body, which greatly strengthens the child's physical fitness, but he is not the "son" of the Sangongmo, and he has no formed power seeds .

This made Merlin even more curious.

He walked up to the ice cream merchant, stretched out his hand, and threw out a confuse Yaxi sign. The next moment, the ice cream merchant's eyes appeared blank. He opened his arms and said to the children in front of him:

"One per person, free! Cheers, kids."

"yeah"

Amid the children's cheers, Merlin quietly took a red cone from the dining car, and stuffed a few banknotes into the businessman's pocket.

This can be regarded as, he used another method to invite these lovely children to eat ice cream.

Amidst the children's laughter, Merlin walked into the cafe slowly with a satisfied smile. He ordered a cup of cold coffee at the bar. While waiting for the coffee, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the little boy just now The next moment, Merlin's gaze became dangerous.

Beside the little boy sat a beautiful woman.

She has smooth long black hair, and her appearance has typical Asian features. She has no makeup on her delicate face, and she has a mature charm.

She sat there quietly, talking to the little boy. This gesture attracted at least 90% of the men in the cafe.

This is a truly beautiful lady, and most importantly, Merlin knows her.

There was a relationship between the two of them a few years ago.

That's Thalia...the female assassin of the League of Assassins that Merlin met at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. After Merlin helped her, she promised to pay back, however, her reward to Merlin was not complete.

Merlin still had the one third of the silver Berserker cane in his pocket. He should have gotten a whole cane.

"Well, Thalia..."

Merlin picked up the coffee on the bar, took a sip, and left the cafe without looking back.

"Don't come here without any problems, hehe, we'll see you later."

————————————————————

The moment Merlin left the cafe, Thalia, who was sitting in the corner of the cafe, raised her head subconsciously and looked towards the door of the cafe. She saw Merlin's back, which made her feel quite familiar, but time had passed For almost 8 years, Talia couldn't remember where she saw that man for a while.

Most importantly, Talia, the female assassin who should have been full of vigilance, is also very troubled now.

She was in no mood to deal with other things.

The cause of her troubles was the indifferent little boy sitting in front of her.

Well, look carefully, the child's facial outline is 6 points similar to Thalia... This should be hers, son?

"Mom, you promised me."

The little boy was eating a cone, and only when he tasted this snack could he see a trace of the expression that a child should have on his indifferent face.For the rest of the time, he didn't behave like a child, but rather like an adult soul stuffed into an underage body.

"You said that you would take me to see my father this year."

He looked at his mother and said:

"You have found various reasons to shirk it several times... If you don't take me this year, then I will go find him myself."

"Damian!"

Thalia turned her head a little irritably, looking at the quiet scenery on the street outside the window, she said:

"I don't believe you really regard him as your father. A few years ago, you didn't want to see him at all, you rejected him, and you didn't have any interest in him. Why have you been pestering me since last year , want me to take you to see him?"

She turned her head, looked at her son with her beautiful eyes, and said:

"There must be a reason for this. If you don't tell me why you want to see him, I won't take you there. You should know that your father is a traitor to our organization, and your grandfather was also looking for him last year I suffered a defeat when I was at the time... My son, your father has become something I don't know. Maybe I didn't really know him in the first place."

"He's dangerous!"

Thalia emphasized her tone:

"Until you're really grown up, you should avoid him."

"I used to think he was a coward."

The little boy Damian said softly while eating ice cream:

"He abandoned you and me, and fled back to his nest alone. I despised him at the time, but after he defeated his grandfather and the most elite fighters in the organization, I realized that he might not be as I thought. so unbearable.”

He raised his head and looked at Thalia:

"He can win your heart, which also proves that he should be a very good person. Mom, I know how picky you are."

"So I became more and more curious about him, I collected his information, I know he used stupid ways to fight those trivial evils in Gotham, I know he suffered a lot of injuries, but he was never defeated, on the contrary, Everyone who challenged him was defeated ... crushed."

There was a look of admiration in the little boy's eyes, and he said:

"He must be a fearless fighter and a formidable opponent! I want to meet him, then, learn from him, and finally, defeat him with my own hands!"

"Oh, I shouldn't have given you to my father to raise you back then."

Talia looked at her son and said:

"He brought you up very well, but he infused you with too many ideas that a child of your age shouldn't have... Well, I will take you to see him. But you have to promise to be good for a while You are not allowed to run out and take risks alone."

After finishing speaking, Thalia, whose whole body was full of mature charm like a wife, stood up, stretched out her hand to her son, and said:

"Let's go, Damian, let's go home. It's time to go back to Nandarbat tomorrow. Your grandfather is still waiting for you."

"I think we should have stayed in South Darbat."

When Damian finished his cone, he took his handkerchief, wiped his hands, and took his mother's hand, complaining to her:

"Interlaken is so laid-back, I'm not used to it."

"You are still a child, Damian."

Thalia squatted down and helped her son wipe the cream from the corner of his mouth. She said to Damian:

"You can't think of yourself as an ordinary warrior, that's not your life. Remember what your grandfather and I have always told you? The future of the Assassin League belongs to you, you have to learn to be a leader, not a reckless man .”

"And a qualified leader will not keep his nerves tense all the time. You need some leisure time, and you also need to understand the lives of ordinary people."

"They're boring."

Damian said to his mother with a dissatisfied face:

"The things they are busy with every day are meaningless to the world, but they enjoy it. They are mentally exhausted by beautiful desires and cruel reality. They yearn for freedom and relief, but they don't know where to start."

"Why should I know them?"

He and his mother walked out of the cafe to the parking lot down the street and talked to Thalia about things that no other kid would ever understand.

And the moment they walked into the parking lot, a slightly gloomy voice sounded right behind Damian:

"Your dear mother wants to tell you, child, that only by understanding ordinary people can you manipulate them better."

"Who!"

Talia's counterattack was extremely fast. The moment the sound came out, she protected her son behind her. Between her hands, two short blades shaped like hidden swords protruded from her cuffs.

And Damian's reaction was also very quick, he took out a protective dagger from his belt, but before the little boy could grasp the weapon tightly, accompanied by a low-pitched chanting, a disarming spell hit him on the wrist.

"boom"

The sharp dagger jumped out of Damian's hand and slammed into the ground beside him, the tail of the dagger was still trembling.

"Thalia..."

Putting on a black wizard robe and a grotesque black and white mask, Merlin held a dark red wand in his hand. Behind him, black smoke rolled endlessly, like a thick wall, enveloping the mother and child in front of them. The dodging space is completely sealed.

"I told you long ago that there is a price to be paid for deceiving a wizard."

Merlin said in a cold voice:

"Now..."

"It's time for you to pay off your past debts!"

"Who are you? Your Excellency."

The short blades in Thalia's hand were staggered. She took a step back cautiously and protected Damian. She looked at the strangely dressed guy in front of her, who didn't look like a good person at first glance, and asked sharply:

"Why did you break into the territory of the Assassin Alliance? Is this a provocation?"

"buzz"

Merlin opened his right hand, and a dark red flame burned in his palm. In this way, he reminded Talia about his identity.

And at the moment when he saw the dark red flame, an old story rolled in Thalia's mind.

It was in 1993, on Christmas Eve, at the gate of Diagon Alley in London, a dark wizard and her fought against the difficult Auror.

"Colson?"

Talia blurted out a name, but the next moment, amid Merlin's hoarse and sinister laughter, the aroused billowing smoke completely enveloped Talia and her son.

A few minutes later, the warriors of the Assassin League who came from various places rushed into the parking lot, but there was no one in the huge parking lot.

Dark Wizard Coulson...

Come for revenge.
