2. A letter from an ex-girlfriend - for the Arcanist Brother Aaron [2/4]
A few days later, the silly dog returned to Earth on a merchant ship.
This journey is without any danger, and it is the most peaceful journey in the journey of the silly dog serving as the love messenger for couples separated from other places.
The silly dog handed over the information collected along the way to the staff of m.i.b, and told them to exchange their allowances directly for dog food to send to Meilin's home, and then returned home with the fortress.
Well, the family is still as peaceful as before.
Gugu is still waiting for it at the door
The Monster King of Merlin's family was very happy to see his "monetary sandbag" coming back, so Frank, who had just returned home, was beaten up again.
This is already a repertoire between Gugu and Frank.
Of course, the silly dog's beating was well-founded and not unfair.
"I've told you how many times, why don't you listen to the gugu cat food?"
On the side of the coffee table in the living room, Merlin, who had just gotten off work, waved his wand and threw several healing spells on Frank, who was scratched by the cat's claws.
While he was helplessly comforting Gugu, who was still a little restless.
"Are you addicted to being beaten?"
Merlin looked at the silly dog, who couldn't help but shrink his neck under Gugu's glare. He retorted with a harsh mouth:
"I just want to taste what those expensive things taste like, and Gugu also stole my dog food! Don't say you don't know, the high-end dog food sent by m.i.b will be much less every time."
"I'm just revenge!"
傻狗对咕咕呲了呲牙,不过这一次咕咕倒没有再扑过去揍弗兰克,而是蹲在沙发上,别过头,舔着爪子,躲避着梅林古怪的注视.
It also felt that its behavior was a bit embarrassing.
What the silly dog said is true. Although Gugu is very cold, when his mind occasionally breaks off, he will indeed secretly eat some Frank's food.
It just looks like a cat, but it actually has a very mixed taste.
"Okay, this is a matter between you, I won't participate."
Merlin spread his hands and he had no interest in calming the conflict between cats and dogs. After Frank's injuries were healed, he said:
"Have Carol replied?"
"have."
The silly dog touched the magic collar with his paws, and a letter fell into Merlin's hands.
"My mistress said that she would return to Earth in at most half a year."
Frank lay on the coffee table and said to Merlin seriously:
"So you'd better behave properly in the past six months, so as not to get your mistress back and beat you up."
"Half a year"
Merlin rubbed his chin, and several emotions arose in his heart at the same time, expectation, joy, anxiety and helplessness. Although he had seen many strong winds and waves, Merlin still could not calm down when it comes to the relationship with Carol.
After all, he was the first woman in his life
Moreover, although the two separate countless worlds.
But the strange, ambiguous and not very similar relationship between them was also conceived by the fermentation of time, and ultimately neither of them could really let go of each other.
The feeling between him and Carol is completely different from the feelings between him and Elsa, and the situation between Lingdie and Zatanna is also completely different.
It was a very complex relationship, like a net, and Merlin couldn't even tell it.
With this complex feeling, Merlin opened the letter.
“Merlin:”
"I think Frank has told you about my return journey in advance. I guess you are in a mess now, and I am the same."
"When I was writing this letter, I couldn't help but think about what you became like in more than ten years, and the things you experienced."
"Although you told me a lot, I'm sure you have a lot of things you haven't told me, it must be wonderful."
"It's a pity that I didn't experience those wonderful things with you, it's a pity."
"Maybe after I go back, we can find a quiet tavern and tell us the story of the two of us over the years."
"Maybe I can relive the feeling of the past."
"I'm actually quite confused. What if I find that the man I didn't like after I go back, what should I do?"
"What if I hate you? What if I am fascinated by you again?"
Carol should be in a good mood, and he could feel the relaxation in the lady's heart in his writing.
Merlin also smiled, and he stroked Gugu's head and continued to read the letter.
"The war between the Kris and the Skuru people is finally over. Ronan and other accusers are still pursuing the fleeing Skuru people in the galaxy, and they are going to completely erase the unstable factors loyal to the Queen Skuru."
"Although I don't like the Kerry people, I have to admit that the Kerry people's pursuit is very helpful in maintaining order in the South Galaxy."
"The Skuru people who are fanning the flames are a threat to any civilization, and they will surely become more and more crazy after failure."
"But the end of this war may not be a good thing for the earth."
Carol expressed his worries in the second half of the letter, and Merlin's expression became serious and serious.
"As far as I know, over the years, Ronan has been still resentful of his failure on Earth. Even when he was fighting the Skuru people, some of the staff under Ronan's command did not give up on the work of re-attacking the Earth."
"Maybe in the future, we will have another battle with the Kerry."
"But there are people like you and Fury on Earth. I believe that in the past ten years, you must have formulated a plan for this."
"I believe in you, and in the next war with the Kerry, I will stand firmly by your side as I did last time."
"Merlin, I want to tell you about the things behind you."
"I warned you when I left that I can't say more, but whether you are aware of it or not, no matter what the pressure you are facing now, please stick with it."
"I will be back to Earth soon. If you decide to resist, then you must wait until I go back."
"No matter what you are about to face, I will help you!"
Seeing this, Merlin's expression changed a little.
He never forgot the obscure warnings that Carol gave him when he left. It is very likely that Carol learned some secrets about the things behind him from some channel.
Merlin even had a sense of suspicion that Carol had left Earth for more than ten years and was related to the things she knew.
And now, Carol admits this.
Meilin put down the letter paper in his hand, rubbed his chin, his eyes full of thought.
"What are you thinking? Merlin."
Icarus asked:
"What are the 'thing' that Ms. Carol said at the end? You never seemed to mention this to me."
"I said it."
Merlin pushed his glasses and said:
"Didn't I say that my background is very complicated, and I've been arranging some things, you know."
"As for why I don't tell you more, it's because I don't want to get you in, Icarus."
“There are many things that you can’t understand and you can’t intervene.”
"Although you've been saying that you're a ruthless AI, I think you should know that I never regard you as an AI."
"You are my friend, Icarus."
Merlin said:
"Good friends shouldn't involve friends in some very tricky big troubles."
"What if I could help?"
Icarus said unconvincedly:
"You know, when necessary, I can discuss with the 'builder', those smart machines."
"No! Give up this plan!"
Merlin warned:
"This is my personal matter, it has nothing to do with the order of the world. You know, Icarus, I don't like this kind of behavior, and I won't allow you to do this."
"I will protect you, Merlin."
Icarus said stubbornly:
"I will protect you whether you want it or not."
“Your mission is to make the world a better place, not to destroy it.”
Merlin said:
"Icarus, we've discussed this issue, we've discussed it a lot."
"All right."
Icarus seemed to have surrendered, she stopped sticking to her point of view, and after a moment, she asked:
“Do you want to continue to deal with unfinished work?”
"Yeah, go ahead."
Merlin bounced her fingers, and Icarus projected Merlin's work before him.
In fact, as the deputy director of SHIELD, Merlin no longer needs to intervene in the specific implementation of various situations. Most of his work is to look at documents, often with some proposals or applications.
What Merlin needs to do is to control the general direction, check the content of these proposals and applications, and then choose to refuse, or fill in his own name.
It's like a ruthless signature machine.
S.E.E.L.D. has its own set of operating rules. If Merlin or Fury needs to intervene in everything, it will prove that S.E.E.L.D.'s rules have collapsed.
"Help me contact the messengers of the Inhuman Royal Family on Earth."
After a few minutes, Merlin said to Icarus:
"Agree with Little Crystal to meet, Carol's warning is correct. If the Kerry did not give up on the plan to conquer the earth, then we need to build a watchtower outside the earth."
"Maybe the Inhuman who also has a grudge against the Kerry will be willing to perform this duty."
"OK."
Icarus responded.
Merlin thought about it and asked again:
"Speaking of this, what did Crystal do on Earth recently?"
“She is continuing her own journey.”
Icarus projected the Crystal Princess travel picture before Merlin, and she said to Merlin:
"She has opened her social account online, probably because of her appearance, figure and temperament, she has already gained a lot of fans."
"And Ms. Wanda's younger brother, Lorna's older brother, the monitored senior mutant 'Fast Silver' Pitro Django Maximov has always been by her side."
"Oh, these two young people still look like they really love."
Merlin took a break from her busy schedule and flipped through Crystal's social account. There were many travel pictures and travel logs posted on it. Perhaps because Crystal and Kuaiyin are not ordinary people, they can easily go to some places that other travelers cannot go to.
Moreover, young people in love often lose some reason. In Crystal's personal diary, there are also some intimate photos of her and Kuaiyin, which are very ambiguous.
The handsome man is and the beautiful woman is. This pair of travelers CPs running around the world are really eye-catching.
"But their union is destined to be a tragedy."
Merlin's ruthless comments:
"Eric Lancheer, Neither the Black Bat King and Queen Medusa who grew up in the caste system, nor the old father of Fast Silver, Eric Lancheer, who insisted on mutant racism, would agree to them being together."
"Oh, it's another couple who are about to be broken up. Tsk tsk, it's really sad."
"Uh, but if the rice has been cooked, it is not impossible to discuss what kind of magical child will be born between the high-level mutant and the pure-blooded Inhuman princess."
"It's really curious."
—-
Just hours after Merlin handled work and made an appointment with Princess Crystal, in the dawn of New York, a man in a normal-looking hooded hoodie stood at the top of an apartment building.
He looked at the sunrise in the city, and he opened his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the sunshine that sprinkled all over the sky.
"Well, the sunrise in this world is so beautiful"
He sighed:
"The environment is also good, and it has bred so many lives, a complete world order, and a variety of civilizations. Well, under the appearance of peace, there is a more fantastic and magnificent reality."
As he spoke, he glanced at the foot of his feet, there was a coma.
What is surprising is that this hooded man standing in the sun is exactly the same as the unconscious man lying at his feet, regardless of appearance, body shape, movement, tone, and eyes in all directions.
It's like it's carved from a mold.
This is obviously abnormal. Even twins will not be similar to this level
"Mark? Mark! Received the answer!"
The man was pinned to the communicator on his waist and the man who was watching the sunrise was stunned for a moment.
He reached out to pick up the communicator, put it in front of him and looked at it, then curled his lips:
"Backward Technology"
The next moment, he pressed the communication button and replied calmly:
"Mark received it! Is there any special circumstances?"
"There was a fire on Seventh Avenue, and the firefighters were blocked two blocks away. You are the closest hero, go and help! Rescue everyone in the fire."
"Okay, I get it, I'll set off right away."
The man hung up the communication, he took out something from his pocket, put it in front of him and looked at it.
That was a badge, to be precise, the badge of the New York Heroes Association and his personal identity card.
He is a registered C-level street hero, an awakened mutant, with the ability to control the flow of water.
"Well, the Hero Association, the unique civilization characteristics of this world. Ronan, who was defeated by these superhumans back then?"
The man played with the badge in his hand. He glanced at the comatose under his feet, then took out a spray from his pocket and sprayed it on him. The comatose was soon as if it was completely invisible.
C-level hero Mark raised his wrist and said to his communicator disguised as a watch in a weird language:
"@¥#%¥!%...@#*! (Up to the seventh block apartment building, there are replacements that need to be processed!)"
"%¥¥(received! Set off now!)"
After receiving the response, C-class hero Mark quickly left the rooftop and headed to the place where the fire occurred.
While looking at the tall buildings burning above his head, he dispersed the bystanders in accordance with the regulations of the New York Heroes Association, and then manipulated the water to rush into the sky.
He acted like a real superhero, his behavior was also very professional, and his actions rushing into the fire scene were even more touching.
However, his soul does not belong to this world.
“This is a good place”
He walked in the flames and he whispered:
“It will be our second home, and yes, it’s really a good fit.”
