After hundreds of years of inheritance and evolution, the Assassin Alliance has become a very mature organization with a complete operating system inside.

Regardless of the existence of Master Ninja, the internal affairs of this organization will be promoted according to a set of fixed procedures.

Even at the moment when Master Ninja has just passed away, the members of the Assassin Alliance have not stopped searching for the city of South Darbat. The last command issued by Master Ninja is to abandon the exposed South Darbart and transfer all the remaining power of the Assassin League base camp to Interlaken, Switzerland.

That was the territory that Lars Al Gore acquired hundreds of years ago. The Assassin Alliance built a reserve base in the Jungfrau mountains long ago.

In a busy preparation for large-scale migration, Merlin quietly observed the operating rules of this mysterious organization as an outsider.

Although he is not a member of the Assassin League, observing the behavior of this ancient organization can also bring him a lot of inspiration and experience about the future management of S.D.O.L.D.

To be honest, there are not many opportunities for such observation.

Especially for this ancient organization in front of him, its internal style of action happens to be exactly the two extremes of the "split management" advocated by SHIELD administrator Nick Fury.

At least in Merlin's eyes, there is no particularly obvious class distinction among these assassins, and what they admire and perform is obviously a group-style combat thinking.

The entire Assassin League is like a whole. When they do anything, they don’t seem to go alone.

"An enlarged version of the "Brotherhood"."

Merlin, who was standing on a city wall, pushed his glasses. He whispered:

"Restrict members with established rules and a sense of mission, and strengthen the concept of rules in continuous training, just like the legendary Spartans, while advocating personal glory, but also pursuing collective honor."

"But this kind of thinking is more suitable for small and medium-sized organizations, and needs a strong leader to maintain and lead by example, otherwise it is easy to have a variety of problems."

Merlin shook his head:

"When it comes to managing large organizations, Fury's set is obviously easier and more effective."

"What are you doing here?"

Just as Merlin was about to leave, Thalia, wearing a long black dress of mourning, came to Merlin.

"I'm just looking at the scenery."

Merlin pointed to the towering snow mountains in the distance and said to Thalia:

"I'm curious, how many secrets are hidden in the snow mountain of the ridge of the world?"

"I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed."

Thalia stepped forward and stood with Merlin. She looked at the distant mountains like snow dragons lying in the distance. She said:

"I grew up here, and my father stayed here for more than 300 years. For so long, my father didn't know all the secrets in this mountain range."

"For a while, I was as curious as you were about this hidden secret in the mountain. I tried to explore it, but my father stopped it."

Thalia said:

"He has warned me more than once. There are several places in this snowy mountain that are very dangerous for ordinary people... Some people call those places ‘holy places.’ Do you know what that means?”

"Ok."

Merlin nodded, and he replied:

"Since it is a holy place, it means that it is not a place where ordinary people can get involved."

"As long as you know."

Thalia brushed her hair, she said:

"Although in the eyes of ordinary people, you are mysterious and powerful. But in the eyes of higher powers, you are no different from ordinary people. There are many secrets that are very dangerous, Merlin, there... the secrets in that mountain , It’s not what you can explore now."

Facing Thalia's kind warning, Merlin did not answer or deny it.

After a moment, he withdrew his eyes from the snowy mountains and turned his head to look at Thalia. He said:

"Then let's discuss the real problem. About my compensation?"

"I brought it to you."

Thalia waved her hands, and the two silent female warriors walked up the city wall with two wooden boxes. Thalia pointed to the two boxes and said:

"That's what you want."

Merlin stepped forward and first picked up the smaller box. He opened the box and stored two irregular parchment papers, which was the treasure map that Thalia sent to Merlin that day, about the cane of the Berserker Two vacancies.

But beside the parchment, there was a bank card.

Merlin twisted the bank card and looked back at Talia, who shrugged to him and said:

"I was young and frivolous. I did something wrong and caused trouble. You can treat it as my apology."

"Ok."

Merlin hesitated for a few seconds, and in the end he didn't reject the apologetic gift. Although very tacky, money is still very useful in this era.

As a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Merlin is not really a rich man in the true sense.

Although he controlled the cash flow of the S.D.O.L.D. department and had the power to freely approve it, it was public money after all, and Merlin’s bottom line was not low enough to pry the corner of Fury.

Another of his identities is a wizard who has no job. To study new alchemy recipes and purchase new magic materials, these all require money. Seriously, after jumping into the two big pits of potion and alchemy, Merlin's daily expenses have been maintained in a very limited state.

Of course, money is not a necessity for Merlin, so he did not care too much.

He put the first small box in his pocket, and then moved his finger to open the second box.

At the moment when the box was opened, a cold wind suddenly appeared on the city wall, blowing Talia's long hair back and forth, and in the wind, there were whispers of nonsense, Sounds very noisy.

"Cretus' red pot."

Merlin looked at the quaint, rough workmanship without any embellishment in the box in front of him. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary binaural earthenware pot. On that clay pot.

He stretched out his fingers and touched the surface of the clay pot. At this moment, the entrenched hidden power gave Merlin's fingers a sense of freezing and tingling.

This means that the power of the seal in this jar in front of you can easily destroy Merlin's defense, and even to a certain extent, suppress the dark magic from the Sannomiya in Merlin.

He withdrew his fingers and took the wooden box carefully. He said softly:

"It really is dangerous..."

"Do you know the specific origin of this thing?"

Thalia standing beside Merlin asked:

"I just knew the name of the jar from my father. My father told me that it was part of a powerful set of magical tools. It was an extremely dangerous thing. He stored it in the deepest part of the treasure house. The magic spell left by the wizard sealed it."

"Master Ninja's caution is correct."

Merlin put the wooden box in a large sealed box, and then locked several anti-magic locks on the box. While casting an imprisonment on the sealed box, he explained to Thalia:

"This red pot is not an ordinary magic weapon. Even in the wizard's magic department, such a thing will be given the highest level of alert."

"What's in this jar?"

Thalia looked at Merlin's movements and she couldn't help but ask:

"Demon?"

"Yes, a demon who was said to have been born in ancient times, has been eternally sealed by another mysterious force tens of thousands of years before the birth of world civilization."

Merlin says:

"But since it is a seal, it can definitely be destroyed. But the interesting thing about the red pot is that the ancient demon sealed in the pot cannot be summoned alone."

"Tell me in detail."

Thalia leaned against the wall, she said:

"I'm not in a good mood right now, and it might be a good pastime to hear stories from wizards."

"This is not really a secret thing."

Merlin put a number of imprisoned seal boxes in a magic pocket, and then said to Thalia:

"Many wizards have heard of the legends about red pots, but few have seen them in person."

"The red pot of Cletus, which is part of a set of dark artifacts, its full name is'green bell, silver wheel and red pot'. Each of these three items is sealed by an ancient demon, No one knows the reason, but they are indeed reduced by the mysterious sealer to a very strange binding rule."

Merlin held out his fingers, made a sacrifice and shake, and turned, he said:

"Only when the three actions of worshiping the red pot, shaking the green bell, and turning the silver wheel are made at the same time, the seal of the ancient three demons will be opened briefly. And the life that made these three actions will get The ancient three demons have all the power without reservation... but this is for a limited time, it can only last for 100 years."

"After the end of 100 years, if the user who has obtained the power of the ancient three demons has not died, he will be sacrificed as a sacrifice to the three demons, and they will also be free. But this freedom is also the same For a period of time, it is also 100 years."

Like a mentor who taught knowledge, Merlin said to Thalia:

"After the end of 100 years of freedom, regardless of whether the ancient three demons are willing or not, they will be resealed into three magical instruments, waiting for the arrival of the next cycle."

"No one knows how long green bells, silver wheels and red pots have existed on Earth, but the only thing that is certain is that this eccentric cycle has never been interrupted. Every 100 years, there will be several supernatural beings related to the three magic weapons. The occurrence of events, of course, often occurs in a manner that is accompanied by massive bloodshed and disaster."

"Oh, is that so?"

Thalia's eyes narrowed, and she said to Merlin:

"I now regret that I gave you the red pot so hastily."

"Stop!"

Merlin held out his hand, grabbed Talia's strand of hair, and pulled it a little hard, like a punishment, he warned:

"I know what you are thinking, but your father refused to tell you the story of the red pot, just to prevent you from giving birth to dangerous thoughts. Listen to me, Talia, by collecting the three magic weapons to get power, it sounds beautiful , But this is a deadly trap."

Merlin said seriously:

"First of all, using one or two of them alone without bringing together the three magical tools will only evoke the power of the demon in the magical device in a destructive way, it will destroy the surroundings indiscriminately. Nothing can even be waived by users."

"Second, in all the records of the wizards, there are a few lucky people who have collected the three magic weapons, and none of them can live safely to the age of 100...The ancient three demons were successfully released in the endless reincarnation. The number of times will not exceed 3 times."

Merlin warned:

"This fully proves the truth. Those who hurriedly deal with demons will never have a good ending. So, Talia, for the sake of Bruce, I advise you, it is best not to move Be skewed."

"You know it is so dangerous, why should you collect it?"

Thalia knocked off Merlin's hand pulling her hair. She held her arms and asked suspiciously:

"I am very skeptical now that you may have clues about two other magical tools, but unfortunately, I have no evidence."

"You think too much."

Merlin said as usual:

"The clues of the three magic weapons are illusory, and my luck is not so good that in just a few years, they can be gathered together... Speaking, where is Demian? It's time to check the body."

Merlin shifted the subject a little stiffly. Obviously, he didn't want to talk too much with Thalia about the three magic weapons.

Because Thalia's instincts from women's intuitions are correct.

Not only did Merlin have clues about the three magic weapons, he even had another three magic weapons besides the red pot.

That is Yustu's green bell.

In 1989, when Merlin had just started his own trip, he encountered an old liar in Chicago. The ill-skilled psychic tried to help Merlin "exorcise" with the unexpectedly green bell, but he escaped.

Almost killed Merlin, and the green bell was awakened for less than 2 seconds, and the magic it burst out almost razed a street.

Green Bell was later recovered by Fury. Its code name in SHIELD was 89084-1. From the time it was recovered, Green Bell has been stored in a warehouse at Base 084.

After Merlin became a 7th-level agent, he only knew about it when he read the files. Of course, he didn't know that at that time, the red pot was in the hands of the Assassin League.

This is also an accidental harvest of Merlin's revenge journey.

Three magic weapons are very dangerous, but also very powerful things. In the current situation of Merlin, he needs more cards to deal with what may happen in the future.

If he can gather the three magic weapons, the dangerous thing will become the most powerful of all Merlin's cards.

But what's worse is that, because of its long history and few occurrences, the true strength of the Three Demon Heads is unknown in even the oldest wizard literature.

Maybe these ancient three demons are really powerful existences, but they are also very likely to have become weak for a long time, and have even fallen.

If Merlin is out of luck, then the three magic weapons he has spent a lot of effort to collect are likely to be a waste that cannot be used or is far less powerful than expected.

"follow me."

Thalia turned and walked down the wall, she said to Merlin:

"My son admires his grandfather, and my father's death has dealt a great deal of damage to Demian. I now have to coordinate the migration of the Assassin Alliance, and there is not much time to enlighten him..."

"The child is really strong, but this is the first time he has experienced the passing of a loved one from birth to the present."

"Merlin, I hope that you can help me enlighten Demian and let him out of the shadow of that soul as soon as possible."

Facing Talia's request, Merlin hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said:

"Ok."

"But I also have a request, Thalia, you have to send Demian to Bruce, and in the next time, let Demian stay with you... to be honest, I'm not so sure."
