"I'm not your sister!"

Hearing Merlin's complicated words, Raven's eyes under the hood jumped sharply, and she retorted fiercely:

"You don't know anything! You're just a stupid mortal! ”

"Whether I know or not depends on whether you want to tell me or not. And I have a lot of questions. ”

Merlin was not angry, he said in a gentle tone:

"I was told that you are my sister and that you are important to me. But we're a little bit of a big age difference, I'm 30 years old, you look like you're only in your teens... What they call the brother-sister relationship should be some kind of symbolic connection. ”

Merlin Says:

"And I don't think I'm going to dream about a girl who has nothing to do with me... Wizards' dreams have special meanings, and even though I haven't studied dream interpretation, I can probably guess the truth. ”

He looked at Raven in front of him and said:

"You also have the power of the three houses in your body, right?"

Raven didn't refute.

Because there's no way to refute it at all.

She does have the power of the Three Houses Demon in her body, and it is much stronger than the power of any of the sons of the Three Houses on Earth. After all, Merlin and them were just stuffed with a ball of power seeds by Sannomiya, but Raven... She is the true bloodline of the three houses.

It's like the difference between an adopted son and a son-in-law, and in the world of mysterious creatures, this difference is simply much greater than the gap between heaven and earth.

The only reason why Raven hasn't been eroded by the pure magic of the three houses in her body is only because she has the other half of the power in her body fighting against the demonic power.

It was the divine power of a civilization that had been destroyed.

And that civilization was also destroyed because of Raven.

That's a painful memory that can't be erased from this girl's heart.

"I don't want to talk to you about it."

Raven said to Merlin in a stiff tone:

"I've got other things to do, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Raven's figure disappeared in a flash.

Merlin shook his head as he looked at the corpse that had turned to ashes at his feet, although he also wanted to figure out the relationship between him and Raven, but there was more important things now.

Merlin reached out and tapped on the communicator, and he asked:

"Ciel, report the situation!"

The next moment, Ciel's calm voice sounded over the communicator:

"11 of the 14 targets have been annihilated, the remaining 3 are in pursuit, 27 agents have been injured in the operation, and no agents have died so far, thanks to the activity of Dobby Advisors."

"Good."

Merlin nodded, the pressure in his heart relaxed, and he said:

"Send the locations of the remaining three half-demons to my phone, and let's work hard to solve this matter quickly."

—————————————————

At 5 o'clock that afternoon, the last half-demon died under Agent Barton's headshot, and the creature was miserable, almost breaking through with a dozen guns and holy silver bullets, struggling to survive the magical frenzy of Merlin and the five Aurors unleashing the Curse of Death.

But in the end, it still failed to escape, and died in an extremely miserable way in an alley with no way out.

Merlin put away the power seed suspended from the corpse, placed it in the sealing box, and looked back to see that behind him, Barbie Agent, who had participated in the demon hunt for the first time, was leaning on the side of his car tiredly.

Next to her, Trip, a very energetic and good-tempered black field agent, was also a little weak in the saddle.

"How does it feel? Rookies. ”

Merlin stepped forward and spoke to his agents:

"Trip, this isn't the same as when you fight those jihadists on the battlefield, right?"

Tripp nodded, he touched his beard, which had been partially scorched by the flames, and said with some trepidation:

"I've only heard about these fire-breathing madmen in stories told by my grandfather... When he fought the German devils with Captain America on the battlefield of World War II, he also encountered these summoned demons, but I didn't expect that I would actually see them with my own eyes. ”

"Did your grandfather tell you how they killed these monsters?"

Barbie rubbed her elbow and said to Tripp:

"I guess they used bombs?"

"No, it's better than that."

Tripp shrugged his shoulders, and he gestured with a cannon shot, saying:

"They used the tank's main gun, and after they used up 12 shells, they killed the monster."

"I'm more inclined to your grandfather and Captain America, just destroy the demon's body on earth, and their souls will return to hell."

Merlin explained in a serious way:

"Without the intervention of magical powers, it would be difficult for a group of GIs to kill demons. Perhaps, if you continue to work in this department, you will meet the demon that your grandfather killed back then. ”

"Hi, Merlin."

Natasha's voice came from behind Merlin, who turned around to see the heroic Black Widow agent and the low-key Clint greeting him.

Beside them, there is also a middle-aged man wearing a strange hat and a combat uniform, which should be the "Silver Bullet" agent that Fury often mentions, Dammy Bullet. Dugan.

Merlin said a few words to his subordinates, and then went over to his old friend, and said:

"It's been a long time since I saw you, and I even miss you a little."

"Oh, did you miss me?"

Natasha's eyes blinked, and she said:

"How much do you want?"

"Don't make a fuss, be serious."

Merlin waved his hand, and he said to the three people in front of him:

"I have to thank you for today's matter, without your help, it would be difficult for me to handle it alone."

"Hey, thanking others requires action, not just words."

Natasha crossed her waist and said to Merlin:

"Won't you invite us to a meal?"

"Tonight, then?"

Merlin looked at his watch, and he said to the three men in front of him:

"Call Hill and see if Fury has time, we'll have dinner together tonight. Agent Silverbullet, are you coming? ”

The old agent who had been called by Merlin glanced back at Merlin, and said in a strange tone:

"Call me Dugan, Merlin. Don't be so boring as Fury and give people nicknames. I won't go to dinner for you young people, I have something to do tonight. ”

"Okay."

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said to the unsmiling old agent:

"Then leave me a contact information, Agent Dugan, I have something I want to ask you later."

"What's the matter?"

Agent Silver Bullet was like one of those old-fashioned tough guys, he had a beard from the previous era, and he had a kind of old-fashioned temperament, and in the face of his question, Merlin looked left and right, lowered his voice and said to him:

"SSS serum... You've been injecting this to stay young, right? ”

"How do you know this?"

Agent Dugan's expression became a little more serious, and Merlin said:

"Ms. Carter told me, she left me with an answer and a bunch of questions, and I desperately needed some reminders, some clues. You've worked with Ms. Carter for a long time, and I thought maybe you could answer some of my questions. ”

"Okay, then."

Agent Dugan thought for a moment and said to Merlin:

"In a week, at the base of Pagassos, I'll take the time to talk to you about your questions."

"Well, thank you."

Merlin watched the old agent get into the car and drive away from the scene, he turned to Natasha and Clint behind him and said:

"You go and rest first, my friends, I still have some personal matters to deal with, I'll go to the headquarters to find you later."

"Okay, you go get busy."

Natasha said a word to Merlin, who nodded, activated the Transfiguration Charm, and disappeared into the New York City area.

A moment later, Merlin appeared on a beach on the edge of Long Island, and in front of him, on a rock, Raven was sitting there, as if watching the sea at sunset, but in her hand, something was being pinched.

Merlin's Raven Spirit, Victor, was being pinched in the air by Raven with one hand in a pitiful manner.

It was the first time it had been spotted since its inception, and the first time it had been caught empty-handed.

"If you have any anger, say to me, don't be angry with Victor."

Merlin walked up to Raven, and said to the silent girl:

"Or if you have any grievances against me, just say it, anyway, release my birds, okay? It's going to be strangled to death by you..."

Raven didn't speak, and didn't seem to hear Merlin's persuasion at all.

Merlin felt like he was back in the days when he was taking care of young Eric and the children lost their temper the same way.

"You let it chase me?"

After a few minutes, Raven suddenly raised her head, glared at Merlin, and said fiercely:

"Didn't I tell you not to come to me?"

"I'm just trying to figure out one thing, Raven."

Merlin took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stood in the water by the reef, and he also watched the sunset on the sea before him, and in the beautiful scenery, he whispered:

"You could have killed me when we first met, you have the ability. But you didn't do that. ”

"And, in my dreams, I dreamed that you were alone and helpless in that world, that you were miserable, that you were suffering something that you shouldn't have to bear at your age... I think that's probably why you hate Sannomiya because it hurt you. ”

"But, why did you reject me so much when we met this time? Is it because I hurt you? Child. ”

Merlin asked in a soft voice:

"And the connection between us, I always feel that there is a connection between us, although I didn't know before, but you manipulated the vampire to find the blood god inheritance and involved me in that incident, I think, this shouldn't be accidental, right?"

"Raven, can you tell me why?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Raven reached out and took off her hood for the first time.

With her long black hair blown up in the sea breeze, the child looked at the sunset in front of her, her blue eyes beating with sadness. She let go, and the Raven Spirit let out a scream, flapping its wings and fleeing from the little devil.

The next moment, Raven reached out and grabbed Merlin's arm, and in a magic force that Merlin couldn't imagine, the two of them disappeared into the sand.

Don't just disappear into this beach...

They disappeared into this world.

"Huh"

In the interweaving of black and red light, Merlin appeared in a strange place, he did not feel dizzy, he looked left and right, and everywhere he looked, there was a burned ruin.

At the end of his line of sight, there was a collapsed temple, its strange dome half-buried in ashes, and the silver-white decoration could be faintly seen.

Those were the buildings he saw in his dreams.

Where Merlin was now, was where he had dreamed of it.

"I guess it's not Earth here."

Merlin reached out and touched the sapphire pendant on his chest, and the mask left by Carol quickly covered his face, and while he breathed pure oxygen, he said to Raven beside him:

"Where is this?"

"This is Aezalas, the Forsaken Lands."

The raven was suspended a few inches above the ground, and she seemed to like the fluttering way of moving, and she said to Merlin:

"This is where I was born, and where I grew up, this is not Earth, in the words you can understand, it is in the stars, and it is a long way from Earth."

"As for our relationship..."

Raven was silent for a second, and then she said:

"Follow me."

Merlin followed Raven through the ruins of the city, and after a few minutes, they reached a place that resembled a cemetery, where it had also been burned, but Merlin noticed that at the very front of the cemetery, there was a new tombstone, which looked to have just been erected.

There is only one sentence on the tombstone.

"The person lying here is called Angela, and she's Raven's mother."

Merlin saw the words, he turned his head to look at Raven beside him, and said:

"Was your mother born here, too?"

"No, she's an Earthling, born and raised in Gotham."

Raven said expressionlessly:

"She was a very stupid woman, she was easily tricked into a cult, and then sacrificed to the devil... But by mistake, those unprofessional cultists attracted Sannomiya. ”

Raven turned her head to look at Merlin, and she accentuated her tone:

"This is the connection between our two destinies... Merlin, everything I have endured should have been your life. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Merlin frowned and asked:

"I don't know your mother."

"Yes, you don't know her."

Raven sighed, she reached out and stroked her mother's tombstone, she said:

"The night Sannomiya descended on her, the great demon was supposed to collect a soul who had signed a contract with it... But fate is so wonderful, because of a sudden event, it became my father by accident. ”

"Merlin..."

"That night, it was supposed to be Sannomiya who went to get your soul in person."

Raven stroked the tombstone, her eyes closed, and her tone became low and sad:

"You escaped your fate, but it didn't disappear, because, I... I carried it for you. ”

"You say, don't I have any reason to hate you?"

"Brother..."
