Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 68 26. First Meeting with Aurors

Merlin looked at the woman at his feet with a strange expression on his face.

Frankly speaking, the brunette who fell from the sky and landed at his feet was a real beauty.

She has long, smooth hair that hangs over her shoulders, covering half of her face, but it can be seen from the exposed half of her face that she has a very high appearance, with a slightly thin face and black hair. The mask covers the lower half of the face.

She has an excellent figure, and her two slender legs are enough to attract the attention of any man.

But she was hurt.

Merlin could clearly see that the lady's elbows and waist were burned by flames again, but there was no bleeding.And in her fingers, there are two weird weapons clasped.

Like a sharp hand fork.

Merlin could vaguely remember that in the movies he watched when he was a child, some ninjas would use such weapons, and the black combat uniform worn by the lady in front of him was also very similar to the legendary ninja's attire.

She was still conscious, and after the strange shadow on her body was broken, her eyes fixed on Merlin in front of her, and Merlin was also looking at her.

A few seconds later, Merlin coughed lightly with his hands in his pockets, and asked:

"Need help, ma'am."

"No need! Get out of the way!"

The injured beauty scolded in a cold voice, and she staggered to her feet.Merlin turned his body sideways and obediently got out of the way.

He didn't want trouble, and the woman had made it very clear to him that she didn't need help.

However, Merlin didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble soon found his way.

"boom"

A flash of flame pierced the woman beside Merlin from the air like a sharp arrow. When the rocket appeared, the latter dodged to the side. As a result, her left foot gave way and she fell into Merlin's arms.

Merlin didn't dodge, but caught the lady. After all, helping a lady is what a gentleman should do.

"Swish"

A figure jumped down from the sky and appeared in front of Merlin and the woman.

He was wearing a brown trench coat with a light blue shirt and a blue tie, like an ordinary office worker, but in his right hand was holding something that Merlin had just seen once.

It was a wand, a wand that was shining with fire.

It's a wizard, obviously.

Merlin noticed that the wizard's eyes were very rare gray-white, and he looked strong, with straight brown-black hair that was kept very short.He pursed his lips, with a serious expression on his face.

"Thief!"

The wizard scolded:

"Hand over what you stole from the Ministry of Magic!"

Merlin immediately realized the identity of the woman in his arms, and he wanted to push the woman away to clear up the misunderstanding.But the latter not only didn't get up, on the contrary, she pretended to be very intimate, and put her arms around Merlin's waist.

It's like, the two of them are a close couple.

"My darling is here. What can you do with me?"

The woman in black challenged her with a triumphant voice, while Merlin frowned, and stretched out his hand to forcefully push the woman in his arms away.He took a step back, slightly raised his hand to the wizard in front of him, and said seriously:

"No! This gentleman, I have nothing to do with her! I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

"We're busy first, and I'm leaving now."

After speaking, Merlin turned around and was about to leave.

But at the moment when he stepped forward, a golden fire light rubbed against his body and landed in front of him, like a rapidly unfolding chain, whizzing towards Merlin.

But just before it touched Merlin's body, the smoke that turned Merlin's whole body into black dissipated on the spot, as if he had completely disappeared.

"A follower of the devil!"

The wizard yelled, and raised the wand in his hand at this moment, and the bright light shone in all directions, and "caught" Merlin who was hiding in the shadow cloak and wanted to leave.

This action made Merlin frown even tighter.

He put his hands in his pockets, and looking back at the wizard, he said:

"I said it all, I have nothing to do with that woman, I have nothing to do with what happened to you tonight. Let me go, okay?"

The wizard was unmoved, and raised the wand in his hand. In the flow of flame magic power, several flaming arrows appeared in the air behind him. With just one thought, these flaming arrows hit the man and woman in front of him.

He said sharply to Merlin:

"If you really think you are innocent, then stand there! After the matter with me and this thief is over, you have to go with me to the Ministry of Magic! If you are really innocent, we will let you go .”

This tough request made Merlin's eyes narrow immediately.

A dangerous light also bloomed in his eyes.

Seeing that her misfortune had finally succeeded, the injured woman took a step back and jumped into the shadows. When she reappeared, she was standing by Merlin's side.

She whispered to Merlin:

"It's useless, this guy in front of you is an Auror. Don't expect to be able to reason with these hounds. Their brains are filled with cement. If they want to leave, they have to join hands and beat him down!"

"Auror?"

Merlin sighed.

Mr. Arthur had just handed him the magic book, and his life had just started to improve, but he was involved in the most troublesome incident.

Merlin could almost guess that once he was caught in the Ministry of Magic, not only the magic book he got might be confiscated, but even Mr. Arthur and little Hermione might be implicated.

He hadn't forgotten that Mr. Arthur had told him that wizards had many ways to check the truth.

He is a person with secrets, he can't and doesn't want to implicate the people around him.

"Sorry, Mr. Cranky."

Merlin stretched out his hands with black gloves, he moved his shoulders, and his ten fingers turned into drifting smoke in the dark night, he said softly to the Auror who was waiting in front of him:

"That's really not my intention."

After finishing speaking, billowing black smoke rose from the quiet street at night, roaring towards the Auror in front of him.

The latter didn't panic. The Auror waved his hand, and an invisible shield blocked him. He waved his magic wand again and again, and flames shot towards the black mist in front of him.

Those flames are full of magic power. Merlin controlled his smoky body to disperse in the air, dodging these magic arrows. As before, he bound the black mist around the Auror, constantly attacking his body with black mist shield.

But the seemingly fragile shield was very tough. Under Merlin's attack, it shone a little bit on the surface, but it never broke.

"Glory!"

The Auror in the smoke raised his wand, and a bright and dazzling light shone like a sword on the top of his wand, like the sun heated ten times, and the scorched Merlin was very uncomfortable.

The Auror kept waving his cane, and the light was like a sharp sword, constantly splitting the smoke of Merlin's incarnation, but he still couldn't really hurt Merlin's body.

The two sides formed a stalemate at this moment.

In the billowing smoke of Merlin, a cloud of shadows was dancing fast, and the injured woman did not take the opportunity to escape. On the contrary, she was like a hunter in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity.

Seeing that Merlin could not be forced back in a short time, the young Auror gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his wand, his whole body began to twist, like a twisted light.

He is going to run!

"Swish"

Sharp, shadow-wrapped forks appeared from Merlin's smoke at this moment, and the two sharp forks pierced the Auror in front of him, one left and one right.

The shadow attached to the fork seemed to be some kind of weird power, and the moment it touched the Auror's magic shield, it broke the tough shield completely.

But the figure of the Auror appeared on the street 10 meters away from the two of them in the blink of an eye amidst the flickering brought by the distorted light.

"Don't let him run away!"

The woman screamed, and Merlin's mist whistled and turned around, rushing towards the Auror in front of him again.

But the Auror, who was ready for magic, waved his wand confidently, and a twisted vortex door opened in front of his eyes. Accompanied by the scorching light, a burst of magma-like flames met Merlin's billowing black smoke head-on. blocked him from the road.

"Swish"

Merlin's black smoke dissipated suddenly, he avoided the tumbling magma fire, and appeared in the other direction of the street instead.

He reached out to take off his glasses, pressed a protrusion on the frame of the glasses, and then threw the glasses at the wizard who was maintaining the spell like a hidden weapon.

The hidden weapon coming from behind caused the wizard to stop casting spells suddenly. While turning his fingers, an invisible magic blade whizzed towards Merlin. At the same time, he propped up his shield again, trying to block the "hidden weapon" ".

But the woman in black who accompanied her like a shadow was like a shadow. The moment the Auror's magic shield rose, she swung the sharp blade in her hands, and the shield in front of her was easily smashed. break open.

"Snapped"

The glasses thrown by Merlin hit the wizard's chest with almost no obstacles, and a throbbing blue current burst out from the metal glasses frame.

A high-intensity electric current quickly flowed to the wizard's body at this moment, paralyzing his movements instantly.Behind him, the woman in black raised her sharp forks and stabbed fiercely at the Auror's neck.

The wizard, who was attacked back and forth, was about to die on the spot.

"boom"

The wrist that the woman swung down was tightly held by Merlin's hand.

The tip of the sharp fork was only a tiny bit away from the wizard's neck.

Merlin waved his other hand, and precisely hit the Auror on the neck. Wizards are also human beings, and their body structure is no different from that of humans. The method that can stun ordinary people can also stun wizards.

"boom"

The wizard who was hit hard fell to the ground, and the magic wand in his hand bounced a few times on the ground, and the magic light on it was completely dimmed.

"what are you doing?"

The woman who was prevented from killing asked coldly, and Merlin reached out to pick up his glasses from the ground and put them back on his face.He patted the ashes stained on the windbreaker, and said calmly:

"Can't kill!"

"Can you handle it?"

The woman shook off Merlin's hand, put the weapon back on her waist, moved her wrist, and said in a dark tone:

"Who do you think you are? Do you think all Aurors are as easy to deal with as this rookie? If an experienced senior Auror came tonight, both of us would have been sent to Azkaban by now !"

"But we survived!"

Merlin stood in front of the unconscious wizard, and he said to the woman:

"You can't hurt him while I'm here! And, I'm telling you, ma'am! I'm not on your side! Even if I'm at the Ministry, I'll make it clear!"

"Really?"

The woman mocked in a subtle tone:

"Then why did you join forces with me to deal with him just now? Come on, Mister Mystery, you have secrets like me..."

While talking, she looked back at the place, and she looked at Merlin:

"In the middle of the night, sneaking to the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, plus the strange black mist you just saw with your hand... You are a black wizard who is hiding your name and planning to trade in Tump Alley, right? "

Merlin didn't speak, his face was gloomy, as if he had acquiesced to this identity.

The woman stood with her hips akimbo under the relit street lamp, and she said to Merlin in a sarcastic voice:

"A dark wizard has such a high level of morality. I wonder how you survived being hunted by the Aurors?"

"Because of me, I am powerful."

Merlin snorted and said to the woman:

"I'm not interested in your affairs at all. As you said, I don't want to have anything to do with any lackeys of the Ministry of Magic. But I have enough troubles. If another Auror dies at my hands... .I don't want to flee to Africa."

"You know what I mean? Don't get me into trouble, ma'am, or I wouldn't mind trying my new magic on you."

"Swish"

A strange golden flame mixed with black and red danced in the palm of Merlin's hand. Merlin's cheek illuminated by the ominous light looked extremely gloomy. He stretched out the flame to the woman in black in front of him. voice said:

"This is a flame full of poison, as long as it touches a little... hehe."

"Keep that thing away from me!"

The woman left Merlin's side in a flash. She looked at Merlin's palm vigilantly. It didn't look like a flame of a good thing. She said:

"Wizard! I advise you to calm down! When you are in trouble, it is not a good idea to provoke members of the League of Assassins casually!"

"Wanted?"

Merlin heard of this organization for the first time, and he didn't know the strength and secrets of this organization.

But this name always has a feeling of ambiguity, so Merlin decided to try again.He put away the flame, put his hands in his pockets again, looked up and down at the woman in front of him with scrutiny, and said doubtfully:

"Are you sure? The Assassins I've seen before, they wouldn't be pushed to this point by a rookie Auror."

These words seemed to hit the woman's sore spot, she turned her face away, gritted her teeth and said:

"Soon! Soon I will reach that level too! I have completed the trial given to me by Lars Al Ghul! I have proved myself!"

"Hehe, whatever you say."

Merlin seemed to lose interest in the subject, and he said to the woman:

"This Auror is at your disposal! But you can't kill people!"

"no problem!"

The woman in black smiled. She stepped forward, lifted the heavy Auror, and threw it together with his wand into the trash can on the side of the street.

She took something from her waist and thrust it into the Auror's neck.

It's like a small syringe.

"what is this?"

When Merlin asked, the woman said without turning her head:

"Don't ask! You just need to know that this thing can make him sleep well. After waking up, he won't remember everything that happened tonight."

A few minutes later, the woman turned her head and looked at Merlin. She hesitated and said:

"What's your name? Wizard. I want to ask you to hide everything that happened tonight... For this, I can 'properly' pay some reward."

This question made Merlin hesitate for a moment.

After a moment, he raised his head, pushed his glasses, and said:

"Call me... Coulson."
