The battle in the frontcourt ended after more than ten minutes. Merlin spent some time to wipe out the dangerous group of Batman warriors, and helped Elsa to solve all the defected warriors hidden in the court.

This girl vented her dissatisfaction, and the price was that there were several additional wounds on her arm.

This shows that Elsa is still a little immature in combat. If she is more skillful and try to solve the problem by using ranged and assassination methods, she may not be injured.

However, after the battle, Merlin encountered a very bad problem.

"Robin, your father, I mean, where is Batman?"

Merlin took Elsa out of the stadium and saw Damien standing on the side of the road, and Dr. Douglens who was knocked out by his side.

It seems that Demian and Bruce have also completed their mission perfectly.

But Bruce disappeared.

Facing Merlin's problem, Demian pointed to the stadium ahead, and said in dissatisfaction:

"When we rescued the Doctor, an unplanned guy jumped out. Father Batman asked me to take the Doctor away, and he stayed there to block the weird guy. But now he hasn't come back yet, and the communication has been cut off, and I'm going to find him."

"A weird person?"

Merlin savored the word, and he looked at Demian and asked seriously:

“How weird?”

"When I left with this burdened doctor, I glanced behind me."

Damien stretched out her hand and gestured on her face, and he said:

"He wears an owl mask, wearing a grey hunting suit from the last century, and carrying a knife, like a drama actor."

"You mean, he didn't have a conflict with Batman?"

Merlin asked again.

"No, at least I didn't leave."

Damien said affirmatively:

"But that guy is very dangerous, I can feel that what he said is not like a normal person."

"You take the doctor back."

Merlin said:

"Elsa and I go and have a look."

"I'll go, too."

Damien stepped forward and said:

"You know my relationship with him. Although I don't like him very much, he is a little worried after all."

"Don't worry, kid."

Merlin reached out and put it on Demien's shoulder. His other hand gently drew a triangle in the air. Under the influence of the Yaxifera Seal, which could affect the mind, Merlin's voice became gentler:

"No matter what happens to him, I will bring him back safely. Go back and have a good rest and have a good sleep. You look very tired."

Demian has been exposed to the pool water of the Sarah Pond since childhood. The magic of the Three Palace Demon transformed him and made him have a certain resistance to magic. But the magic released by Merlin is an exception.

Merlin is the son of the Three Palaces. His magic power is in line with the Pond of Sarah. The curse that can only play 5 points for others can almost play 15 points for Demian.

Almost instantly, Demian was forced to change his mind.

He yawned and said to Merlin lazily:

"Okay, then I'll go back and have a rest. You must bring him back. I admit that he's awesome in the fight, but he's too indecisive and he disappoints me. I have to find a way to educate him."

"Go back quickly, little."

Merlin patted Damian's head, and the latter dragged the doctor who was knocked out by him and walked all the way to the trail near the stadium. After a while, with the roar of the engine, a cool black sports car with a bat-like appearance quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

After Demian left, Elsa, who had been watching this scene, stood beside Merlin with her waist on her back, and said:

"The seal of Yaxi is good, Merlin. How much did you hide me? When did you learn the seal of the demon hunter? From who did you learn the seal of the magic?"

“Whistler taught me.”

Merlin looked back at the stadium and said casually:

"But this is not the most urgent thing now. We have to find Batman how he suddenly disappeared, and that doesn't fit his style."

"After this is over, you have to tell me the whole story, Merlin."

Elsa said dissatisfiedly:

"I am your companion, you should not hide these things from me."

"I try my best."

Merlin didn't want to say too much about these things. The existence of the white wolf was related to Master Ulysses's instructions. Elsa's father refused to let Merlin reveal his news to Elsa. This was a request from Elsa's father, in order to protect Elsa from being involved in more dangerous things. Merlin could not disobey him.

"Let's go, I need your tracking ability."

Merlin transformed into black fog, rolled up Elsa, and quickly came to the basement of the stadium. Elsa appeared from the black fog, and she squatted on the ground, checking the traces left here.

Merlin also used his spiritual vision to perceive the surrounding environment, and there was a strange smell remaining in this passage, very much like the smell in a hospital.

"Did you smell it?"

Merlin whispered.

"Well, such a big smell will not be noticed unless I lose my sense of smell."

Elsa said without raising her head:

"It's the smell of formalin, it's very strong. It seems that the person who met Batman was a doctor, or someone who often contacted formalin, maybe a stranger like a corpse or a forensic doctor. There are no traces of fighting here at all."

The witch hunter frowned and said:

"I only found two footprints, extending to the exit ahead. Judging from their standing position, they did not have physical contact. Batman took the initiative to follow him, either they knew each other before, or he might have been mentally controlled."

"He won't be controlled."

Merlin said confidently:

"I have been in contact with him, and his will has been firm to a point where it is hard to imagine. He wants to control his spirit unless he is a great wizard who is proficient in soul-catching arts but there are no traces of magic left here."

"here!"

Elsa followed the footprints and a moment later, she walked to Merlin with an ear communicator and handed the thing to Merlin:

"I found this on the skylight at the end."

"let me see."

Merlin took the communicator, he put it in his ear, and gently tapped it. The next moment, a recording rang in Merlin's ear:

"Batman, son of Gotham please follow me. The Owl Court has been waiting for a long time."

After a strange and hoarse voice, it was Bruce's low voice.

"Owl Court? I thought you were just legends in nursery rhymes"

"No, we are real, right in front of your childhood window, on the night when every child cries, in the darkness of Gotham. We have always existed, we have been observing you, and now it's finally time to meet."

The weird voice said to Bruce:

"Follow me, we have many secrets to share with you."

“What about?”

Bruce asked.

"A lot, a lot of secrets that disappear into the darkness. Do you need me to say more about your father, your mother, your family? Bruce Wayne!"

The recording ends here.

Merlin's brows also frowned deeper. This recording should have been left intentionally by Bruce, perhaps for him.

"Owl Court?"

Merlin looked at Elsa and asked:

"Have you heard of this organization?"

"No."

Elsa shook her head decisively:

"I don't have any impression of this name at all. It's a weird one. It sounds like it's not a serious organization."

"Batman mentioned nursery rhymes."

Merlin moved his fingers and said:

"Maybe it is a nursery rhyme that only exists in Gotham. I have to find Elsa, a person familiar with these things. Your mission is over. You take Dr. Douglens back to New York as quickly as possible. His wife and daughter are still in the hands of the defected warriors. You inform Fury about this and he will be responsible for handling the next thing."

"What about you?"

Elsa did not refuse, she looked at Merlin:

"You want to stay here to help Batman?"
