Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 407 41. Demon Hunters--adding more for Cool Bubbles and Brothers [1215]

Merlin looked at the money that Gutler took out, he sneered, Shi Shiran took out a weird skull from his pocket, and put it on the table, many red runes were drawn on the skull, and there were still red symbols in the eye sockets. There are dark red light spots beating.

"The skull of the wolf, the alchemy item I just completed, permanently attaches night vision and eagle eye effects, can replenish magic power in battle, and comes with three high-level protection spells every day, a one-time burst of magic power in the skull can trigger a magic explosion, Or set up a fog barrier. Such a thing can be sold for at least 700 Gold Galleons on the black market."

Merlin looked at the ugly looking Gartler, he said:

"I mean, that's not enough money to bet on, John, you've got to come up with something more attractive."

"You are ruthless!"

Gartler cursed, but he didn't want to be outdone. He fumbled in his pockets, and at last produced an old rolled-up parchment. He said:

"This is an ancient artifact that Liv found in the Scottish forest a few years ago. It is said to be a fragment of the "Book of Beasts", but no one is sure. This is my bet."

"The supreme fetish of the Celtic Druid Church...the Book of Beasts of the legendary great wizard Merlin?"

Merlin picked up the fragmented scroll and looked at it in front of his eyes. It was full of weird runes, like graffiti, but there were indeed faint fluctuations of magic power on the parchment.

But it is also possible that it was forged by later generations. In short, it is hard to say the true value of this thing.

"Okay, I accept."

Merlin is willing to take a gamble, anyway... as long as Gattler can't find Victor, then Merlin will definitely win.

And if this fragment is really the legendary book of beasts, then Merlin will make a lot of money.

In English myths and legends, Merlin, the legendary wizard who assisted King Arthur, has the ability to freely transform into various wild beasts and command and manipulate them. Merlin is not a character invented by later generations. There are detailed records of this legendary wizard in "History".

Wizard Merlin is indeed a court wizard who once attached to King Arthur and ascended the throne. He was active in the golden age of wizards. There are all kinds of strange magic inheritances all over the European continent.

The greatest enemy of wizard Merlin is said to be a glamorous black wizard, Morgan Feller. Sealed in a strange magic.

But the legendary great wizard Merlin more than 1000 years ago was not a Druid who was good at natural magic. It is said that his magical animal transformation ability was achieved by using the "Book of Beasts", the god of the Druid sect. .

Ten minutes later, Phil Coulson, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly. He opened his eyes in a daze. The white and slightly old ceiling above his head reflected the sunlight, which made Coulson rub his eyes. Rubbing eyes.

The painful memory of the past 7 days seems to still be in his mind, still affecting his spirit, making him a little confused.And the new power given by the extraordinary body, those sharper perceptions, made Coulson immediately feel the other two people in the house.

He tried to sit up, and he felt that his body was rusty, somewhat inflexible.

Then, he blinked, and saw Chief Merlin and Chief Gatler who were playing cards. Both of them had serious expressions, and their eyes stared at each other from time to time, as if they were playing a silent game.

"My field attack is 27 points, I have a 6-point attack card in my hand, and Merlin's field attack is 19 points... He still has one last chance to play a card, as long as his cards do not exceed 14 points, I It's a win."

Agent Gartler nervously held the cards in his hand, thinking silently.

The current number of rounds between the two is 1:1. This is the final decisive round. Gattler feels that he is only one step away from the alchemy wonder named 'Wolf's Skull'.

Under Gartler's gaze, Merlin frowned, as if he was worrying about which card he should play to solve his current predicament.

The atmosphere in the room reached the extreme tension at this moment, and even Coulson, who had just woken up, subconsciously held his breath.

"Swish"

A golden card was thrown on the card table. On the card was a demon hunter wearing body armor and holding a long sword. He had a scar on his face and long white hair hanging down his shoulders.

More importantly, the field attack points of this card reached an astonishing 15 points!

"Damn it!"

The moment Gartler saw the card, his mentality immediately exploded. At this moment, he even had the urge to flip the table.

He did all his calculations, but he didn't realize that Merlin actually had such an extremely rare card.

You must know that in the thousands of years of the Gwent card heritage of the demon hunter, this top-level card with the legendary demon hunter Geralt of Livia as the background appears very rarely, and it is currently still used by Gwent players. There will be no more than 10 Geralt cards in circulation!

Each one is priceless.

Gartler heard from the demon hunter who sold him the monster deck in Marseilles that Geralt of Rivia, in the circle of demon hunters, is completely priceless.

Anyone who owns it is a well-known figure in the circle of demon hunters. It is said that several cards are buried in the cemeteries of some demon hunters, but no lunatic dares to rob graves for Gwent cards. The behavior of the tomb will trigger an endless and terrifying hunt by all the demon hunters.

"Haha, I won."

Merlin let out a hearty laugh.

He stretched out his hand, took the remnant of the suspected book of beasts, and then threw the wolf head in his hand to Coulson who stood up next to him. He put away his deck and looked at the gloomy face before him. Gartler said:

"Sorry, you played well."

Gatler remained silent with a cold face, Merlin rolled his eyes, and he said again:

"Well, you go find a skull soaked in magic, and I will help you make a 'Wolf Skull' for you for free."

"It's almost there."

Gartler snorted resentfully. He put away his cards, and then took out a bird skull the size of two fists from his pocket. It looked like it was made of crystal, and it looked very beautiful.

He threw the skull to Merlin.

"The skull of the royal griffin is one of my best collections. After you make my 'Eagle Skull', send it directly to the European branch."

Gartler glanced at the time and said:

"The most boring meeting is almost over now, and it's time for me to go."

He glanced back at Coulson, and he said with a smile:

"Also, welcome to join the Aegis Demon Hunter, Agent Phil Coulson...I look forward to seeing you join the ranks of Violent Bear in the future."

After finishing speaking, Gartler glared at Merlin, then opened the window, jumped down from the second floor, and quickly disappeared from Merlin's sight.

"What's up with these bastards?"

Merlin scolded:

"One by one, won't you go through the door?"

He glanced back at Coulson, who was wearing only a pair of boxers and was standing in front of the mirror looking at him as a newborn.

The body of Coulson, who got the extraordinary body, is more symmetrical than before, and he even has clear abdominal muscles in the chest and abdomen. Fortunately, during the mutation process, there were no signs of physical alienation, such as hair color change, etc. .

Coulson reached out and stroked his eyes. Like Gartler, his eyes turned into yellow cat pupils. As the light changed, his pupils also changed.

"my eyes..."

Coulson whispered:

"Is this the result of the mutation?"

"That's just a trivial question."

Merlin said behind Coulson:

"You gain more than you lose."

Coulson turned his head and saw Merlin throwing something over. He took it in his hand and found that it was a pair of black glasses with round frames.He put the glasses on his face, then looked back in the mirror, his eyes changed back to human pupils under the glasses.

"This is your future camouflage item, remember not to take it off at all times."

Merlin said to Coulson:

"There is also the head of the wolf. I made this thing in the past few days. I will use it for you first. Before you are not familiar with the fighting style of the demon hunter, this thing can allow you to escape from those difficult aliens. "

"You still need two swords... Well, maybe one is fine too, a long sword that mixes the evil of the silver sword and the sharpness of the steel sword, I won't help you with this, you can find a way to do it yourself .”

"You need your own alchemy laboratory to learn the alchemy of the witcher, learn to configure potions and potions by yourself, and make sword oil and magic bombs by yourself."

Merlin warned:

"Finally, you need a deck of gwent cards."

"a deck of cards?"

Coulson can understand the previous conditions. He has a good relationship with Advisor Elsa. He knows that the witcher has his own way of fighting, but a deck of cards...

"Is this what it takes to be a witcher?"

he asked.

"certainly"

Merlin said solemnly:

"The Gwent card is not only entertainment, but also one of the essence of the witcher's 1000-year heritage. Through this game, you can better understand the history of the witcher and the knowledge of those important aliens. Most importantly, fight Good Quint, it will help you get along better with other demon hunters... This thing is equivalent to an identity badge, with it, you will truly enter the closed circle of demon hunters."

"Then, how do I find this deck of cards?"

Coulson took the clothes from Merlin, and he asked:

"Do I need to go buy it?"

"Ah."

Merlin nodded:

"Prepare some money and buy them in Elsa's shop. The Bloodstone family is an ancient family of demon hunters. They are eligible to make about 10 new sets of cards for circulation every year, but they are limited to ordinary cards. If you want rarer ones...you can only look slowly. I hope you are good at playing cards, otherwise, you will go bankrupt."

"Come with me when you get dressed."

Merlin said to Coulson seriously:

"I will be in charge of your demon hunter combat training. Also, don't listen to Gartler's nonsense, the bear school is heresy! The wolf school is the true orthodoxy of the demon hunter!"

"is it?"

While putting on his shirt, Coulson asked like a newcomer:

"The development of the Wolf School must be very prosperous, right? Sir Merlin, how many companions do we have?"

"Uh..."

Merlin's face was a little embarrassed at this moment, he coughed, and forcibly changed the subject, he said:

"That's too far for you, rookie."

"Do your own training first."

Coulson's newcomer training is extra strict, at least much stricter than Gartler's training.

Holding a wooden sword, he was tortured by Merlin from morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, his whole body was covered with blue and red patches, but fortunately, the self-healing power of the extraordinary body of the demon hunter far exceeds that of ordinary people. The potion prevents Coulson from being knocked out directly under the continuous blows.

Then there is the basic identification of demon hunter potions. Those colorful and dozens of potion combinations make Coulson a little dizzy. Each potion has its own effect, and the potions are all poisonous. Let the demon hunter burst out with the most powerful fighting power.

However, the thinking enhancement and super senses added to the extraordinary body allow Coulson to memorize these tedious but important knowledge with a little practice.

In the afternoon, while Merlin was preparing dinner, Coulson's training was finally over.

"Sir, I'll go first then."

Coulson, who helped Merlin chop the dishes in the kitchen, looked at the time, and asked cautiously:

"I'll come back tomorrow?"

"No, go directly to SDOLD's training ground tomorrow."

Merlin says:

"I have pulled out the file of Agent Jimmy. He will go to Philadelphia with you as your deputy. There are still about 4 days before you return to Philadelphia, so we must hurry up and train, at least before you leave, I have to make sure you learn the most basic sword dance... and your saber, this is very important, don't forget."

"There is also the USB flash drive on the table. Take it back and make a copy. There are most of the heterogeneous information books in it, which is the basis that must be mastered."

"Okay, I get it now."

Coulson touched his sore arm with some discomfort. He put the silver USB flash drive on the table in Merlin's house in his pocket, then pushed open the door, and stretched out his hand to call a taxi.

A few minutes later, Coulson, who had a headache from the blaring music, turned his head and looked out the window. In the sight of the witcher, on the street in the evening, Coulson no longer needed the help of psychic sunglasses. It can also distinguish those heterogeneous species hidden in the crowd.

He rubbed his head, probably because the mutation process left some sequelae that have not yet been eliminated. Before Coulson's eyes, there will always be some hallucinations.

That was when he was young, spending time with another young man.

It was choppy, incoherent, and unclear, and Coulson couldn't even make out the phantom face of the young man.

All he knew was that it must be someone close to him, maybe the one his father asked him to look for.

"saviour..."

Coulson pinched his forehead vigorously, and said:

"who the hell are you."
