53. Nick Fury's new job
"We've been confused, and this is normal."
"Any organization that claims to have a great mission will fall into collapse and self-confusion after discovering that the so-called mission is just a joke from a higher will."
"In addition to the death of Cassandra, the 'line' that connected us in several eras over 2,000 years completely disconnected. The members of each era were discouraged, so everyone chose to leave."
"That was a tragedy, and the truth that Cassandra and you revealed to us made us feel like we were punched in the eye."
In the hall of the mysterious house, amid the burning fireplace, Leonardo da Vinci sat on the sofa and talked to Merlin.
Xuanlan and Zatanna have both left and will not disturb the conversation between the two.
Merlin didn't answer, he was just listening.
Listen to a monologue from the Brotherhood of the Shield.
This organization has a deep relationship with him.
They look for excellent legends in each era that can influence a time to form a group.
The purpose is to maintain the stability of the subject's timeline and avoid the occurrence of time vortex, causing the entire timeline to enter the result of blockage or collapse.
But in fact, the Holy Shield Brotherhood was just a pit that the old gambling dog bully secretly dug for Merlin in order to win the game, but at the end, Merlin avoided this trap.
When the truth of the entire world and even the entire universe was exposed, the Holy Shield Brotherhood was quickly disbanded.
The original member of the White Wolf Geralt, in a disheartened state, even planned to leave the world forever with his genuine wife Yennefa and his lover Triss.
He intends to spend the rest of his life in other dimensions through the upcoming celestial sphere convergence.
Another member, Ms. Carter and the elderly Steve Rogers, also chose to live in seclusion and now lives in Brooklyn, disguised as ordinary old men and old ladies, go out for a walk every day and live a peaceful and peaceful life.
"So, what gave you the idea of recasting the Holy Shield?"
As the fireplace leaps, Merlin asked softly:
"I don't think that the blow against you can recover in just three years. You have to understand that the truth is sour, just like a venom that seals the throat when it sees blood. Once it pierces trust, the wound will be difficult to bridge."
The Raven Maharaoh looked at Leonardo da Vinci and said:
"So I guess, something that happened that I didn't know made you realize the importance of reunification. Is there something wrong with the timeline?"
"Well, it's true that I can't hide the clever raven."
Leonardo da Vinci nodded, and he sighed:
"Seven days ago, a parallel universe based on reality suddenly appeared and was shattered less than 24 hours later. I detected the fluctuations in space and time, I went there to observe, and then I discovered..."
The naturalist looked at Merlin and said in a more emphasis:
"Your nephew, Barry Allen, he tried to save his mother, which led to the 'flash point' phenomenon."
"Xiri solved that flash point as fast as possible, but unfortunately, this time-space collision caused more than just the collapse of a parallel universe."
"The real world, which originally had no branches, quickly extended more than 230 branches of parallel worlds in 7 days after that flash point, and when we were talking, the branches of time were rapidly emerging and dying."
"We named these chaotic parallel worlds the 'New 52' time anomaly zone, but it's not enough to manage this time sector that is rapidly expanding."
Leonardo da Vinci looked at Merlin with a shocked face, and he chuckled, and he reached out and knocked his forehead, and he said:
"Fate is such a wonderful thing."
"The Brotherhood of the Holy Shield was born based on lies. We fulfilled our mission that did not exist, but after we learned the truth and disbanded, we suddenly realized that we had a place to use our skills and that our mission had returned."
"This time, it is no longer a false lie. Xili Yatou should have told you that Merlin, the parallel world and the timeline that constantly divides branches, if it is not managed, it is very likely to affect the real world, that is, the main timeline."
"I met Lord Zhang Heng and Pythagoras as fast as possible, but just as we were discussing the plan, another unfortunate thing happened."
The naturalist sighed regretfully, and said:
"Two days ago, at the time of 1931, my other brother, Nikola Tesla, was invaded by chaos from other worlds while conducting his experiment."
"He was rescued by Curie and Einstein who were driven away, but Tesla lost his body due to chaos erosion. We had to design a complex set of circuits and scientific outer armor to accommodate his soul that had nowhere to be placed."
Having said this, Leonardo da Vinci smiled, and he said in a joke tone:
"Fortunately, the pigeon that Trass' favorite survived, which gave Tesla the motivation to continue to survive. In short, this is my second purpose in this trip, Merlin."
Speaking of this, Da Vinci's expression became serious and he said seriously:
“It’s not whether we want to talk about reunitement, but that we must unite.”
"Otherwise the chaotic timeline will bring more tragedies. I know that you are carrying out a very important plan that is related to the future of this universe. I think you don't want to be disturbed, right?"
"so..."
From the 16th century naturalist, Merlin's theoretical "father-in-law" said sincerely:
"Please help us, this world is born because of you. If you have your approval and support, I believe that those brothers from other eras will definitely return to the banner of the Holy Shield Brotherhood."
Merlin did not answer immediately.
This is a very troublesome thing. He rubbed his forehead and lowered his head. After thinking for several minutes, he said:
"Did they send you here because of my relationship with Zatanna, Xuanlan, and you? It seems that you guys have also learned this way of talking about human relationships."
"But, Lord Leonardo da Vinci, I have the will to help you, but I have no energy and time to help you."
Merlin raised her head.
He said to Leonardo da Vinci with confidence:
"I am busy looking for strange things in the universe to collect the power of the original place to ignite the furnace of this universe, and through the initial flame burning of all things, we can turn our lives and time in the illusion into the first era of real existence."
"I have to devote myself to it, it's a job that can't be wrong, but... I can join you as honorary members."
Merlin stretched out his hand, waved his finger, and said to the naturalist in front of him:
"As for the position of the leader, I don't need it."
"But I can recommend a more suitable person to you, and as far as I know, he is quite idle lately."
A malicious smile appeared on the corner of Merlin's mouth, and he said:
"It's time to find him a more challenging job."
——————————————
Nick Fury has been idle lately.
After eradicating the lurking Skuru people in the world in one fell swoop, he entered a state of doing nothing.
Commander Hill was responsible for the work at the Raccoon City Base, and Waller was very alert to let Fury, an outsider, intervene.
Well, it's not that Waller doesn't believe in Fury's ability.
It was precisely because Waller believed in Fury's strength in the intelligence industry that she refused Fury's help.
Fury has his own pride. As the former director of SHIELD, he was not willing to join the Sky Eye Club of his disciples, which was a bit too useless.
So after doing nothing for several days, Fury finally made a difficult decision.
He is going to retire.
Nick Fury was born on July 14, 1950, and by 2011, Fury was 61 years old.
Although taking SSS serum has kept him at his 40s and his energy, he is already an absolute old man in terms of age.
Moreover, because he suffered more than once fatal injuries in his wonderful life, Fury probably would have difficulty living for another 20 years.
In addition, SHIELD, which he devoted all his life to, has disappeared in time, which makes Fury feel very powerless.
Under the interaction of multiple situations, Fury wanted to quit.
This is not the first time in his life that he has really thought about quitting the agent business, but this is definitely the deepest time he has thought about it.
Ten days ago, Fury submitted his resignation to Commander Hill, and the next day, he returned to his hometown with his mysterious wife without disturbing anyone.
Early this morning, Nick Fury, wearing a cowboy suit and a straw hat, was repairing his own tractor and preparing to reclaim his own farm that had been abandoned for too long.
His mysterious wife was preparing lunch, and from the window she could see the woman busy in the kitchen. Well, from her long black hair and slender figure, she was much younger than Fry.
"Bang"
Fury waved his wrench and smashed the tractor's rusty shell. He used to hand pistols and various explosives, and seemed very clumsy when repairing this mechanical creation.
In just a few minutes, several mimeograms appeared on Fury's dark face.
He frowned, took off his straw hat with some annoyance, looked at the smashed engine in front of him, and whispered:
"Mazefakel! Are you looking for Tony to repair it...he seems to be better at this."
"Well, the piston is broken by you, the oil pipe is aging, look at the oil stains, you haven't maintained it for at least 7 years, right?"
Just as Fury was thinking about it, Merlin's gentle voice suddenly rang behind him.
Fry turned around, grabbed the greasy wrench and posed in a fighting posture.
But when he saw Merlin wearing a black suit and a scarf around his neck, he relaxed again.
He threw the wrench to Merlin and said:
"You look very professional, please help me repair it, otherwise my wife will complain about me again later."
"Um?"
Merlin looked at the wrench in his hand and curled his lips.
The Lord of Hell waved his hand and threw a repair spell and a cleaning spell on the surface of the tractor. In the halo of just a few seconds, a new one appeared in front of Fury's eyes as if he had just walked out of the production workshop.
"Bang"
The greasy wrench was thrown aside, and Merlin handed Fury a scented handkerchief, he said:
"I've repaired the tractor for you, and you'll do me a favor, some people want to meet you, come with me."
"I'm retired."
Fury wiped his face with the handkerchief, and he turned his back to Merlin, and reached out to slap the tractor. He said with emotion:
"It's hard to make this decision, Merlin, you're an old agent, you should understand it. It took me a long time to make this decision, and I mean, don't ruin my retirement career, okay?"
“I don’t want to be involved in those complicated and troublesome things anymore.”
Fury pretended to grab a handful of seeds from his hand and said to Merlin:
"I plan to plant alfalfa flowers on the farm, raise two more dogs, and live an original life. My wife and I plan to have a child, and we have all given names..."
Merlin stood in the warehouse with a blank expression, watching the performance of the drama actor Fury. After a few seconds, he said in a cold tone:
"First of all, you are holding strawberry seeds."
"Secondly, you are already 61 years old and it's hard to have children. If you really have them, you will have to worry..."
"Finally, you are lying in front of vanity, Fury, who gives you the courage to stop pretending, you have only been here for 10 days and you are bored and want to demolish the house."
"Don't tell me that the cart of firearms and explosives you sent to you yesterday was to protect your own farm."
"Your heart is still looking forward to returning to the battlefield. You don't want to admit defeat, and you don't want to admit that you are old and useless..."
Merlin sighed and said:
"I'll ask you one last time, Fury, will you come?"
"Mazefakel!"
Fury turned around and looked at Merlin fiercely. He reached out and pushed his eye mask, and he said:
"Before you invite others to come, you have to tell me at least, what do you want me to do? Do you learn magic like you?"
"Stop fantasizing."
Merlin said:
"I tested you ten years ago. You have zero magic constitution and can't learn the most basic lighting technique in 1,000 years... But what I can tell you is that I'm here to invite you, Fury."
"You have maintained order in the natural and supernatural worlds throughout your life. Maybe you think you have seen many strange things, but there are always some mysterious worlds that you have never foreseeed."
"My arrival means that this is a line, it is between what you know and the stranger world, and it means that a larger stage will be put to you."
"Do you want to see the reality of the world? Fury."
Merlin turned his body sideways, and behind him, a glittering door was spinning.
Raven made a "please" move, and he said to Fury:
“If you want…”
"Then come with me."
"Just like you recruited me into S.H.I.E.L.D. and fought side by side with you. Now, I also invite you, Nick Nicholas Fury, to be our partner."
