Shadow of the Beautiful World

At midnight, Gotham City, not Merlin's Gotham.

But another Gotham City.

On the second floor of the "Black Cat and Gun" bar in the wharf area, in an elegantly decorated and quiet box, a few men are playing cards, with empty wine bottles and some refreshing side dishes.

It was made by Saibo himself. This brash man has a rare good cooking skill, which made the three friends who rushed to the card game to eat very satisfied.

"what?"

Saibo, who was sitting next to Merlin, sniffed. He looked like a hound that had found a bone, with a nasty smile on his face.

He reached out and dropped a card, and said in a strange tone to the others:

"Our Lord Raven has a special fragrance."

"Although it has almost disappeared, I can still smell it. I guess that belongs to a beautiful girl, like a seductive cat in the dark night."

"Haha, it seems that a wild little cat is making a nest on the raven's bed."

The figure wrapped in the light smiled brilliantly. He said:

"It's a really happy life. It's like being illuminated by the Holy Light. A soldier with warmth in his heart will never lose..."

"Snapped"

A card was thrown on the table, and Cyber ​​turned his head to look at the light, and he said indifferently:

"Warrior with a warm heart, you lose."

"And, we don't like your light theory very much, Dick. So don't take this opportunity to preach. Isn't it happy everyone talks about other things?"

"Seconded."

Tyrion Dawn Blade wearing a blindfold threw the card in his hand on the table, and then began to shuffle the cards steadily.

He says:

"The pioneering of the Dark Blade Legion in the Raven Universe went well, and the first seeds of reincarnation have taken root. I have to thank you, Merlin. Your generosity makes me feel ashamed."

"It's all from the past, let's not talk about it."

Merlin looked indifferent.

He picked up the wine glass, and Cyber ​​filled him with wine. There was a weird smile on the face of the brash man. He coughed slightly and looked at Tyrion with a steady face.

He said in a strange tone:

"A few days ago, when my people were fighting in the multiverse on the 19874, they unexpectedly met a girl with a moonlight..."

Upon hearing this, Tyrion's expression changed slightly.

Saibo continued to say that he used a story-telling tone to say to the other two fellow villagers:

"The girl claims to be Moonlight Titan, and has a nice name."

"She's Elune."

The Overlord glanced at Tyrion again. The latter's expression was still steady, but his fingers were already shaking.

"Hey, she asked us about the whereabouts of a bitch. My subordinate told me about it. What about me... I am such a righteous person. Naturally, I can't watch a cute girl being bullied, so I just ..."

"To shut up!"

Tyrion stretched out his hand to clasp Saibo's shoulder. He looked at the overlord with a murderous look. He said:

"You divulged my whereabouts?"

"No no."

Cyber ​​is not afraid, he said with a smile on his face:

"I just told her that Tyrion Dawn Blade appeared in the Raven universe... As for your whereabouts, I swear, I didn't reveal it."

"Well, I revealed it."

Merlin put down the wine glass. He looked at Tyrion with a cold face, who had already drawn out his weapon. He shrugged and said:

"And I, who is helpful, how can I turn a blind eye to the disoriented girl?"

"I invited her to my house as an elder. Please, poor, the child of the wind and dust, had a meal, and then I brought her to this world."

"Little Elune is outside the bar right now. She is waiting for you."

Merlin glanced at Tyrion, and he said in a playful tone:

"Although she insists on calling herself your daughter, no matter how I look at it, she is like your...little lover."

"Tyrion, you have a bad-hearted thing, and the girl came to the door, why are you staring at us? Why don't you hurry to comfort her."

"Wow"

A believer in the Light who listened carefully to the story, Dick, one of the Shadow Four, let out an exclamation. He said:

"It's a terrible sin. It's so wild, Tyrion, you guy with big eyebrows and big eyes... The Holy Light will definitely punish you, King of the Dead."

"You...you damaging friends!"

Tyrion stood up, he cursed fiercely, but immediately opened the door and rushed out. Behind him, the three guys were smiling very wretchedly and very happy.

"I ordered something at your place..."

The three drank another round of drinks. While eavesdropping on Tyrion and Elune’s conversation, Cyber ​​said to Merlin:

"Has it be done?"

"Well, it can locate, track and ingest, store, and withstand the cosmic storm and the magical wonders of the void."

Merlin took out two white jade wonders from his pocket. They were of different shapes, but they looked very beautiful and mysterious.

The lights in this box shined with blurred light.

Saibo picked up one of them and looked at it before his eyes. He said in a complimentary tone:

"Yes, great creations, it's really correct to give them to you to make."

But instead of taking all, he took one piece and left the other piece in Merlin's hands.

The Overlord stood by the window and secretly looked at the edge of the street below. Tyrion, who was talking to a girl, said to Merlin:

"I think you must be curious about what I asked you to do to make these things. And Dick, you must be curious as well, why I suddenly have to pull you into this small circle."

Saibo breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and looked at the two fellows in front of him. The bracelets decorated with infinite gems on his wrists glowed and sealed the room.

His expression became serious and he said:

"You may have heard that I have entered the Wall of Origins and returned to my world..."

"Yes."

Merlin nodded, and he responded:

"Although I have just entered the multiverse, I have also heard about it. To this day, the overlord's experience outside the wall of origin is still a hot topic of discussion in the multiverse."

"Some people say you saw the Creator there?"

Dick also grabbed the holy light around his body, and Merlin could see clearly that this guy is a tall, warrior-like guy.

But compared to Cyber, who is like a brash man, he has more gentleness and kindness from the soul level.

People can't help but want to get close.

The Lightwalker was playing with the wine glass. He said to Cyber:

"But I am more inclined. You should have gone through the wall of origin to the world where we were born."

"Yes! Our hometown."

Saibo nodded and said:

"The issue of the Wall of Origins is very complicated, so I cannot explain it more."

"What I want to tell you is that I did go to our hometown, me, Dick, Tyrion, and you, Merlin, the hometown of the four of us."

"That is the world of the observers, and we were all members of the observers. Our race is very strange. After the body dies, the soul will not dissipate, but will embark on a new journey."

The overlord said calmly:

"The life cycle of most observers will be completed in their world, but there will always be some lucky, or unfortunate guys, who are out of the established life cycle due to various accidents."

"Like us, we are lucky. Before being swallowed by the void, we entered other worlds and continued to complete the soul cycle, but more observers were not so lucky."

Having said that, Cyber ​​looked at Merlin and said:

"You are one of them, Merlin. When I found you, your soul was about to be swallowed by the void. That was a terrible encounter."

"Indeed, I have also been curious about this question."

Merlin looked at Cyber. He said:

"Why did you save me? Just because we are from the same place? You shouldn't be so kind, right?"

"I'm very kind, don't doubt that."

Saibo boasted, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Well, indeed, the purpose of saving you was not so pure."

"I entered the Wall of Origins and was trapped in my hometown. I asked the observers to send me back. They helped, but they also made a request... or a request is more appropriate."

Cyber ​​pointed to the sky and said:

"The observers don't want to see their compatriots suffer in the void. They ask me to find a way to save more souls like you."

"Merlin, rescue the souls swallowed by the void and send them into a new world."

"Although it is no longer possible to return to your hometown, the observers still hope that compatriots can continue their soul journey in another world. This is why I save you."

"I am trying to fulfill their request. After all, the observers have helped me a lot, and they have helped you a lot."

With his hands on the table, Cyber ​​said to his two fellow villagers:

"It's very difficult. I can't do it by myself. I found Tyrion, but as you see, he also has his own troubles. We need more people to participate."

"Mengshen is the spokesperson of the observers in the multiverse. That guy is also trying his best to help me. We are a group. Today, I also ask you to participate in it."

"Save more fellow villagers from the tragedy of the multiverse."

"and many more!"

Merlin reached out and interrupted Saibo's speech. He said:

"Rescue the souls of the fellow villagers, and then throw them into the game of fate as pawns as you did to me? If this is the case, I will not help you."

"No, no, your experience was just an accident."

Overlord said with a serious face:

"I can guarantee that in the future, I will not interfere in the life of any fellow villager. The same is true for you, and you cannot interfere... What we have to do is just to bring the lost souls out of the void and send them into whatever In the multiverse."

"Then their development will have nothing to do with us. Strong people can make a career wherever they are, and weak ones live their lives honestly."

Saibo akimbo, he said very frankly:

"We are just saviors, we are not nanny."

"Of course, in order to ensure that they can adapt to the new world, we have to prepare more for them."

The overlord took out the strange object made by Merlin and turned it upside down in his hand. He said to Merlin:

"This thing, observers call it ‘Golden Finger’."

"A very apt name. Put this thing into the void, and it will take the initiative to find the souls of the lost observers, and then mark them."

"We took them out according to the mark, and then threw the strange objects into any world together with their souls. This thing can protect their souls from the erosion of the cosmic storm."

"I also commissioned Merlin to add a small feature to prevent them from dying in a dangerous other world at the beginning."

"If you can make good use of it, the strong will naturally be able to climb higher. Maybe one day they will be able to achieve detachment on their own and find us through these things."

Cyber ​​squeezed the jade in his hand, he added:

"Even the weak, who are not brilliant, can rely on it to live well."

He said to the silent Merlin and Dick:

"The Wall of Origins is not something everyone can pass. I almost died when I entered it."

"We are all lone ghosts and ghosts from the same world. We can no longer go back to our hometown. We are like a group of far-travelers wandering on the sea. We naturally have to watch and help each other in this strange and wide world."

"This is a large-scale'hometown mutual aid association'."

Saibo straightened his body and said:

"It's not involved in any conspiracy or conspiracy."

"We are all lucky. Now we have to share our luck with those unfortunate compatriots."

"If you are willing to join this business, you can start from now on. The stars are too big to rely on the four of us, even if you add Dream God, it's not enough."

"It will be very difficult, cumbersome, and unpaid."

"I won't force you to join, but..."

"I join!"

Merlin took a deep breath and looked at the cold jade in his palm. He said:

"Mengshen previously suggested that I find a long-term hobby to survive the endless long time afterwards. I am also thinking about whether there is anything suitable for my hobby."

"Now it seems that I have found it."

The Raven looked at Saibo and said:

"I also want this opportunity to see the scenery of the multiverse. I have enough people to use. The first batch of strange objects will be completed soon. I will throw them into the void as quickly as possible. "

"Okay, I will leave it to you in the early stage of the test."

Saibo nodded readily and said:

"After this system is improved by you, Tyrion and I will also join it."

"Dick, how about you? Are you coming? The power of your holy light can be used to heal souls invaded by the void."

"Why not?"

The Lightwalker chuckled slightly, and he stretched out his hand to pop out a ray of golden fire. He said:

"Sounds very interesting, maybe more talents can be discovered."

"I have a hunch, Cyber, and Merlin, our'hometown club' will definitely become a powerful force in the multiverse in the future."

"That's the future."

Merlin stood up, raised his glass, and said to the other two:

"Have a drink, for our common cause!"

"and many more."

Saber walked to the window and yelled:

"Hey, Tyrion, and the crying chick, come up soon! Everyone is going to drink."

After a while, Tyrion, with a foul-faced face, walked into the room with a young girl wearing a gauze hood. He looked at everyone in front of him and said to the girl behind him:

"You've seen Merlin, this is Cyber ​​Hawke, and this is Dick Don."

"Oh, where's the little girl, so pretty."

Saber squeezed his eyes and bumped Merlin's shoulder. The Raven groaned and whispered:

"Be serious, don't scare this girl."

"Come on, Tyrion, let's drink this cup together!"

Merlin raised his glass again, and Dick beside him suddenly said:

"I think we should give ourselves a resounding name instead of calling the Apostle of Light?"

"Cut, what is the holy light?"

"Yes, the Holy Light is not good, it's too religious."

"We are cultivators hiding in the shadows of the stars, paving the way for our compatriots! Let them be born in the shadows and grow in the sun."

Merlin rubbed his chin and said:

"So, Four Shadows?"

"Do not."

Tyrion glanced at the girl behind him, he took a deep breath, raised his glass, and clinked with his compatriots, he said:

"Call it the Shadow Brotherhood."

"Hey, this name is good!"

Saibo stretched out his thumb and waved, then the four of them raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their hands.

In the curious and surprised gaze of the girl Elune, the Brotherhood of Shadows...

It was established.
