At night, in the large library of the Magic Congress, Merlin was sitting on a beautifully decorated black velvet chair.
On his hand, there are several books that are very old at a glance. In front of Merlin, a thick parchment book in ancient language was opened. On his left hand, there is a quill pen sliding fast.
Obviously, this is Merlin excerpting some important information.
It is now the fifth day after the funeral of the Richards and the ninth day when Merlin was officially suspended.
He had a leisurely life, at least on the surface it seemed leisurely.
A few minutes later, a fat wizard in casual clothes, holding a fruit platter like a small tower, came across from Merlin. He sat on the chair with a smile and flicked his fingers, and the dewy fruit fell in front of Merlin's eyes.
"I heard you are here, so I came to visit."
The fat wizard Ecinus sat in the chair opposite Merlin. He glanced at the book Merlin was reading. He said:
"The Treaty of the Nightcrawler? This boring thing, even the scroll wizards, won't take a few more glances, but you are interested in watching it. So, let me guess, someone is unlucky, right?"
"Maybe I'm out of luck."
While maintaining the magical supply of transcripts, Merlin held out his hand and twisted a purple grape in the fruit platter and put it in his mouth. He felt the sweet taste and said to the fat wizard in front of him:
"Haven't you heard? A vampire spent a lot of money on my head."
"Ha ha."
The fat wizard smiled disdainfully. He said:
"Where in New York, if anyone receives the reward, it means that his brain is not normal. He wants to buy the head of S.D.O.L.D. for $20 million. The vampire Deacon is afraid to treat everyone as a fool."
"Of course, I heard that the vampire was very clever and cunning, so I guess he was not doing stupid things."
"He may have just made this gesture on purpose to attract more wavering vampires to stand on his side and join him against the American Presbyterian Church."
"It's like a politician who dares to say anything and dare to do anything for votes."
Merlin reached out and turned the pages in front of him. He said calmly:
"It's politics again, even inside vampires. It's a nasty thing, oh my god."
"But you are now starting to study them in depth."
Essinus glanced at the ancient book in Merlin's hands and said softly:
"Can I understand that you are looking for their weaknesses? You and your cold-blooded agents, are you ready to start working on them?"
"Don't make trouble."
Merlin raised his head, and his face, which had already started to restore its ruddy face, showed a gentle smile. He pointed to himself and said:
"I was suspended, and the news is presumed to have spread throughout the heterogeneous world of New York. Now I'm just a lonely, poor sick seedling. I look at these things just to protect myself."
"But it's back again."
Merlin's eyes fell back to the book in front of him, his voice softer:
"Some people have already treated me as a stepping stone and are about to step on it hard. If I don't say anything, wouldn't it seem that I'm too unrepresented?"
"Haha."
The fat wizard laughed, and said:
"I knew that you weren't beaten and beaten."
"A little quieter, please."
Merlin glanced at the fat wizard, and he said:
"You bothered me to study."
"My fault, my fault."
The fat wizard familiar with Merlin raised his hands, he stood up with a smile, said to Merlin:
"Then I won't disturb you, and I'm going to be busy too. The deterrent operation in Queens triggered a chain reaction. Now some vampires are evacuating from several other districts. It seems that they are terrified and ready. Shrinked defense."
"For the remaining diehards, we don't need to be polite."
After that, Essinus was about to leave, but Merlin yelled.
"I want to exchange a few spells on the side of the Magic Congress."
Merlin said to the fat wizard:
"Who should I look for?"
"It depends on what spell you change."
The fat wizard turned around and patiently explained:
"From the perspective of our partnership in the past few years, you are also a member of the Magic Congress. If it is a common spell, you can go directly to the wizard management department to find the Roger wizard, Roglio, do you know him? Slightly bald, but the woman is very good, and I like the guys who play in Muggle nightclubs."
"But if it's an advanced spell... it's more troublesome."
"How to say?"
Merlin asked:
"Do you need to trade?"
"The deal is just one thing."
Essinus said:
"You also know the troublesome inheritance rules of the wizarding world. Advanced spells are the most important property of the Magic Congress. Those knowledges are only open to the real "own people" and must be contributed to or used by the Magic Congress. Only some rare magical materials can be exchanged in order to be allowed to enter the inheritance room for transcription."
"Ok."
Merlin frowned, and he nodded to the fat wizard:
"Okay, I know. You are busy, I will find you again if necessary."
The fat wizard nodded at Merlin, then quickly walked out of the library. At the headquarters of the Magic Congress, it is also not allowed to use the shapeshifting spell.
Fortunately, there are elevators leading to various areas in this place, so that the wizards who are generally poor in physical fitness will not be tired and breathless.
After Essinus left, Merlin began to read the book in his hand again.
This thing is called "A Brief History of the Night Walker Treaty." Just looking at the name, I know that this thing must be related to the guys who like to wander in the dark. On the white paper at Merlin's hand, the fast-moving quill pen also outlined beautiful lines of beating on the paper.
"The Treaty of the Nightcrawler" was signed in Jerusalem in the first century AD. His Majesty Xia Laila, then the world leader of the monster, signed a memorandum of treaty with the Pope St. Peter of the church under the witness of the wizards."
"Nightwalkers, generally referring to blood races, werewolves, succubus, etc., need to hide in the human population to hide their existence, and the high-level humans give them corresponding shelter."
"The background of the signing of this treaty is the most intense period of the "Millennium War" between the forces of heaven and hell. The monster world and human civilization have formed an alliance to jointly resist the threat from the millennium war. But with the rapid progress of human civilization At the same time, because of the collapse of the Xiajila family's of the monster world, the Treaty of the Night Walker was basically invalidated at the end of the Middle Ages."
"However, in the centuries that the agreement was maintained, the night walkers have been accustomed to exist in human civilization in a disguised form. Although this kind of concealment of itself is more due to the long-term thinking of protecting "food", It is not simply to continue to implement ancient agreements. However, from a macro perspective, the existence of the "Night Walker Treaty" did indeed allow the relatively weak human civilization at the time to spend the most difficult time."
"This is an ancient agreement that really worked. Its existence was necessary in the ignorant times. For the ancient heterogeneous family, it is not just a legend, but more like a nightwalker. Guidelines for action."
"Unfortunately, after the time entered the 19th century, more and more young vampires just regarded it as a rumor, and did not comply with it. It also caused a lot of bad events and once caused the wizards a very headache."
Merlin's copy of "A Brief History of the Night Walker Treaty" ends here.
This book is from the perspective of a wizard, to observe and record the content of this ancient treaty and its impact, which is equivalent to a summary history book. But Merlin can still learn ancient wisdom from it.
S.D.O.L.D. has always had a headache about how to deal with the relationship between humans and aliens. Perhaps the treaty that existed before 2000 can become a reference example.
He posted the book "A Brief History of the Night Walker Treaty" and picked up another book.
The name of this book is something.
It's called "Suggestions for Young Demon Hunters."
It looks like something similar to a bad novel biography, but the author of this book is not ordinary. Merlin picked up the book, and under the cover of the book, there was a gilded, beating name like a burning flame.
That doesn't seem like a name.
"Gerlot of Livia."
Merlin pronounced the name, and a nickname matching it came to his mind.
"White wolf... active in the Middle Ages, known as the greatest demon hunter."
Of course there is another not-so-sophisticated nickname that comes with it.
"'Sorceress Harvester'. It is said that in his life, he has maintained an unhealthy relationship with at least seven famous sorcerers. Hey, he is a dynamic senior."
Merlin sighed with emotion and then opened the book which was not heavy.
It is essentially an essay book that records some of the mistakes made by the white wolf in his demon hunting career, as a reminder to the frizzy younger generations not to make the same mistakes.
The quill pen on Merlin's hand started to move again, and the beautiful fonts lined up, like printing, appeared on the paper that had already been filled with half of the sheets.
"If you are a new demon hunter, and if you are going to Romania for adventure, then I will give you the following suggestions:"
"First of all, the vast majority of vampires are not afraid of the cross, so don’t try to use the cross to attack them. The rumor that the vampire fears the cross in human rumors comes from the Treaty of the Night Walker. The ancient agreement stipulates that vampires cannot attack civilians wearing crosses. .. But that treaty is now dead."
"Of course, if you are holding a heavy enchanted cross warhammer, then you can ignore this suggestion and see the next one."
"Holy water! This is the most useful thing when dealing with vampires. Of course, holy water has a variety of methods of production, no matter which one has the effect of making vampires. Here, I will list the flame holy water that I often use. How to make...Note that if you don’t understand alchemy, then it’s best to find a professional to help you make it."
"Before entering Romania, it is best to bring enough garlic. The taste of this kind of thing will not only make the vampire feel disgusted, the most important thing is that when you are hungry to prepare barbecue, garlic can also make you bad The food becomes delicious."
"If you can, novices, it's best to put the battlefield with vampires in the sun. The sun will burn the vampires, and the long-term sunlight will make the vampires go into a state of power and weakness."
"Stab them with the holy silver sword in your hand. A lot of blood loss will cause the vampire to go to sleep. But don't take it lightly, because they only need to replenish the blood in time to resurrect."
"Vampires attack and chase fast, so they attack their legs first, and if they are advanced vampires, they attack their wings."
"Vampires can easily avoid crossbow arrows. If you are not a master hunter who is good at using crossbow arrows, it is best to use silver swords to solve the battle. Don't entangle with vampires at night, they can easily disappear in the shadows."
"Finally, the most important point is that if you are a novice and you want to hunt down high-level vampires, then for the sake of your life, you’d better give up the task immediately. High-level vampires have various magical abilities, they can There is a variety of life-saving means to fly at low altitude without the help of external forces. That is not an enemy that novices can deal with."
"Of course, if you want to deal with female vampires, and if you look handsome, through some special'negotiation' methods, you can avoid fighting under certain circumstances, and complete the mission goals in addition to killing. But you need to pay attention to their fangs all the time and accidentally get bitten, and the result will be terrible."
It took Merlin a few minutes to read White Wolf's warning to the novice vampire hunter. After reading the last suggestion, he frowned and condensed a mirror with magic power before his eyes.
Merlin looked at himself in the mirror. He turned his cheek. After a while, he waved his hand away from the mirror and said to himself:
"Well, barely handsome."
"But I don't think I will use this suggestion anymore."
