In the House of Blood, Merlin, who had been busy all night, sat relaxed in a black velvet backrest chair. At his hand was an old-fashioned wine glass that resembled Elsa’s brass hoop.
It was filled with mead.
That's a weird drink that Merlin hasn't tasted.
At the table, Elsa was on the phone with her mother in France. The relationship between the mother and daughter seemed to be bad, but from the expression of Elsa, she still loved her mother very much.
Occasional quarrels do not mean bad relationships.
"Oh, all right! Mom, you're really annoying."
Elsa picked up the glass, blinked at Merlin, and said to the phone:
"I really didn't lie to you, that's where my dad worked. Yes, the Strategic Science Corps. They have changed their names now, and they are called the National Strategic Defense Attack... Ah, this name is so mouthy. But it must be true , Yes! you can check it through your own channels."
Elsa took a sip of wine and said to her mother:
"If you find out that it is fake, I will return to Lyon immediately!"
"Don’t worry, I’m an adult, I can take care of myself... I remember that trial. When I’m ready, I will go back to participate. Well, I will not forget, there are things I will I’ll let you know in a moment...well, don’t bother me anymore, Mom, go to the opera with your old girlfriends."
"Goodbye, mom. I will inform you of any news about Dad immediately."
Elsa hung up with relief.
She carefully placed the letter of appointment that Merlin gave her on the table, then took a picture with a camera, and ran back to the room on the second floor. After a few minutes, she returned to the dining table and made an OK gesture to Merlin. gesture.
"Okay, the photos passed, and things are done!"
"Your relationship with your mother looks good."
Merlin took a sip of honey wine and he leaned back in his chair and said to Elsa:
"It's quite enviable."
"envy?"
Elsa glanced at Merlin, she snorted:
"Do you think my mother is the kind of person who can only teach each other? She is also an orthodox hunter, of course not as strong as my father. After my father left, my training is her responsibility... Maybe I should show you the scar on my shoulder, which was pulled out by my mother with a whip."
"Ok?"
Merlin stopped drinking, he asked curiously:
"why?"
"Because when I was 12 years old, I secretly went hunting for a daytime banshee who was doing evil in the suburbs of Lyon."
Elsa shrugged:
"If I hadn't brought enough healing potions and moonlight bombs, I almost died in the farmland. After I was in a coma, I was taken away by a group of passing deer heads. The mother and her old girlfriends overturned all Lyon. It was only in the forest that I rescued. An aunt was injured to save me, and could no longer be a demon hunter."
"After I was injured, my mother cried and whip me in front of the aunts...she did nothing wrong, I made a mistake."
Elsa said with relief:
"The existence of that scar will remind me that I should never challenge my opponent who can't deal with it...it will also remind me that there is only one life, and it will be gone when it runs out."
"Hah, it seems that you were not a good girl when you were a kid."
Merlin commented with a smile, he said:
"Actually, that's a very interesting experience, isn't it?"
"Of course."
Elsa touched her shoulder, she said:
"The first time I defeated a dangerous enemy alone, that feeling...really good. At that time, I understood my father a little bit, why he can always challenge those dangerous monsters so fearlessly, maybe, That kind of adventure is not just to enforce justice."
"Tell me more."
Merlin stood up and renewed two glasses of mead for himself and Elsa. At this almost dawn, he said to the girl in front of him:
"About the demon hunter, about the vampire hunter."
"Aren't you a wizard?"
Elsa glanced at Merlin, and she asked curiously:
"The wizard should be very clear about this? The wizards I met when I was a kid are like omnipotent scholars. They inherit the history and rules of the demon hunter. They are even better than my father. Clear... In fact, without the help of wizards, the inheritance of the demon hunter is probably long gone."
"My wizard... is a parallel."
Merlin said unabashedly:
"All my magic is self-taught, because time is tight, so there is no time to learn more about knowledge and knowledge. You are the first vampire hunter I have seen, and before you, I am all about demon hunters The knowledge is found in only a few words of the magic book."
"Oh? Parallelism?"
Elsa blinked, and she said:
"But it doesn't look like when you cast the spell, the magic flow is very smooth, just like a real academic wizard."
"Maybe I do have talent."
Merlin spread his hands, he said:
"But in fact, all the spells I master now may not add up to as much as a 4-year-old wizard."
"Oh I see."
Elsa nodded clearly:
"Not too greedy, specialize in some spells, and practice repeatedly, practice makes perfect. Just like the training of muscle memory I received... training assassination movements, practice thousands of times a day, until the body naturally remembers that movement, no You can use it until you think."
"Well, it's very thorough. That's it."
Merlin took a sip of wine and he said to Elsa:
"So, consultant Elsa, can you tell your boss some secrets that the demon hunters have passed on to you? What I want to know most is that you and your father call themselves vampire hunters. Is this also a branch of the demon hunter? ?"
"Correct."
Elsa’s fingers were moving, and a black metal head pendant appeared in her fingers. She said to Merlin:
"The vampire hunter is just a layman. Our family is actually the Griffin School, one of the ancient demon hunter factions. And this is the mark of the Griffin School demon hunter."
"Oh?"
Merlin held out his hand and took the pendant. He touched it with his palm. He could feel that the material of this thing was not ordinary metal. It should not be as simple as just pendant decoration.
After a few seconds, Merlin returned the pendant to Elsa, and he asked:
"Except for the Griffin School?"
"There are many more. The Wolf School, the Bear School, the Snake School that has completely fallen, and the Cat School who are all killers and the rare Flying Lion. Of course, many people confuse the latter with the Griffin School because of their The badge is too similar."
Elsa said to Merlin, as many families said:
"In the Middle Ages, the demon hunters were very prosperous. There were thousands of people in each faction. All the demon hunters together are almost tens of thousands of people. But now it won't work. The official demon hunters in Europe Not up to 300..."
Regarding the decline of the demon hunter, Elsa did not show sadness. On the contrary, she said plainly:
"After all, human civilization has been up for a long time, and there is no need to hunt the demon to protect them. This is actually a good thing. In addition to some old antiques and some reluctance, everyone accepts this fact. Just like my mother, A demon hunter who has survived the grass trial has not been willing to do the job of a husband in the end."
"Peace is always the best thing."
"Oh I got it."
While holding a pen and paper, Merlin quickly recorded these secrets and asked without looking up:
"I found a book in the library before and it was written by a legendary demon hunter named Geralt of Livia."
"White wolf? Really?"
Elsa gave Merlin a suspicious look. She put down her glass and said to Merlin:
"Do you know what age the white wolf was a demon hunter?"
"I heard it was medieval."
Merlin answered truthfully.
But Elsa shook her head:
"The Middle Ages also lasted for a full 1000 years. You are still a wizard. Let me tell you, the white wolf is a demon hunter in the early middle ages. His active era is the most chaotic period in the monster world, the master of the white wolf. Legends are all slashed out by a sword and a monster, and there are only a few sages recognized by the Holy See. Among them are Master White Wolf."
"But he disappeared as early as the end of the 12th century AD, almost 1,000 years ago, and even in the wizard's library, there will not be a collection of 1,000 years of demon hunters! You must be wrong. Now."
"No, I still have confidence in my memory."
Merlin shook his head, he said:
"The cover date of that book was marked in 1808! The author is Gerald White Wolf himself. In the book, he also spit out the bad nickname that his colleagues gave him, that is, the'witch warrior'... . Cough, I mean, that not-so-good nickname."
"really?"
Elsa frowned, and she said, as she stranded her long hair:
"Actually... on our side, there is really a rumor that the white wolf hasn't actually died. He has lived to some extent by some means. But everyone listens to it as a legend. But if it's really like you Say...no, I have to go and read the book in person."
Elsa's expression became serious:
"If Master White Wolf is really alive, then with his strength, dealing with Dracula is almost at hand. If my father is really trapped... we must find him!"
"Very difficult."
Merlin shook his head:
"A person who has lived for more than a thousand years, he has witnessed the process of building a human society from scratch almost all the time. If he wants to hide, don’t think someone in this world will find him... let’s not talk about him. , Tell some more stories about the demon hunter."
Merlin urged:
"For example, how to become a real demon hunter?"
"Very difficult."
Elsa replied to Merlin with the same sentence. She stretched out a finger and shook her slightly frivolously in front of Merlin's eyes, saying:
"First of all, you have to get a breakthrough potion, which is the grass trial. That is the most important secret of the hunters. Only each generation of hunters and masters are qualified to know the complete potion recipe."
"Secondly, not everyone is eligible to drink the breakthrough potion. In the era of Master White Wolf, only 3 out of 10 people can survive. If you are out of luck, there will be no one. It will also make the demon hunter lose. Although the ability to have children has been continuously improved by alchemists who are familiar with demon hunters, so that fertility is not affected, so far, the survival rate of breakthrough pharmacy is only 50%."
Elsa shook her head:
"That's playing life, and that's the main reason why the demon hunter has fallen... Life is a very precious thing. It wasn't used to play since its birth."
"anything else?"
Merlin continued to ask while recording:
"Are there any other disadvantages of this medicine?"
"Yes."
Elsa took a sip of wine and she pointed to her eyes:
"Breakout potion is a potion reshaping potion, which will allow the demon hunter to have an extraordinary body, so that he can face the scary monster. Masters like my father, even if they are shot in the front of the bullet, they can’t hurt. He. But the price is that some organs will mutate, and my father’s eyes are like cats."
"Also, after drinking the breakthrough potion, after experiencing an extremely painful transformation process, part of the emotions of the demon hunter will be suppressed and even eliminated."
Elsa said:
"This depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will retain most of your emotions. If you are unlucky, you will lose almost all emotions like Master White Wolf. No fear, no joy, no hesitation, but also It is precisely because he lost his emotions that he can be called a legend."
"but you..."
Merlin asked doubtfully:
"You are also a demon hunter, why do you still have emotions?"
"Because I haven't passed the test yet, genius!"
Elsa reached out with dissatisfaction and tapped on Merlin's head. She said:
"Did you hear what I said just now? I'm not ready yet, I haven't taken the breakthrough potion..."
"In the era of Master White Wolf, breakthrough pharmacy can only be taken by children, but in this era, the constantly changing pharmacy can already be taken by adults at any node before the age of 35. My mother was only when he was 27. To become a demon hunter, my dad is more traditional. He took the potion when he was a kid."
"Dad paid the price of "fear", he got the courage that will not be exhausted, and mother... lost "expectation", she began to become at ease. So even if she successfully took the breakthrough potion, it is difficult to say, that Is it a good thing or a bad thing."
"Emotions."
Merlin sighed. He looked at the newborn sun outside the window and said to Elsa:
"For a while, I always get angry... It seems that when I make a mistake, it will suddenly appear. I don't like this feeling, but I have more and more difficulty controlling it."
"There is a dark force in your body, which is slowly swallowing you. I have seen this in the hand of the family ancestor. You built a high wall in your will to block the dark tide, but your wall It is not strong enough to grow, but the power of darkness keeps accumulating and is increasing day by day."
Elsa put down the glass, and she said to Merlin:
"You really have to figure out a way..."
"I know, I'm looking for it too. But this kind of thing is urgent."
Merlin put down the pen, he picked up the glass and lifted Elsa. At the moment when the two men drank the last mead, Merlin closed his eyes and said softly:
"Ah, being a human...it's really difficult."
PS: I just counted it, even if it is calculated with the most conservative estimate, the number of chapters to be added tomorrow should also be 35+. Well, all the manuscripts are squeezed out at once.
The monthly ticket supports a wave, brothers.
