"Ah!"
Under the dim street light, a sudden wailing sounded the birds that were foraging, and the little ones fluttered in panic with their wings flapping.
In the flash of light, an illusory door opened abruptly in the air, lasting less than a second, and an embarrassed guy fell from the flashing door.
"boom"
Merlin fell into the grass in an embarrassed manner, and Merlin got up quickly with the not strong impact. He patted the grass scraps on his body, picked up the wallet from his feet, and counted the money in the wallet.
Then he gestured fiercely towards the empty sky with his middle finger.
He was thrown into the weird air by Mephistopheles, and then fell for 15 minutes!
It felt like it had fallen into the earth from outer space. For a moment, Merlin really thought he would fall apart.
"This is where?"
Merlin shook his head to calm himself. He stood on the grassland and looked away. This was a quiet place, and there were no signposts to give him more hints. It looked like a park in the city.
He walked all the way down the road, and after spending a few minutes, he finally came to the side of the park. In front of him, there was a bustling busy traffic.
Merlin found a signpost as quickly as possible, and the area marked on it made his eyes widen.
"New York? Brooklyn?"
He looked back and looked at the city behind him, and he suddenly felt a sense of solitude.
A few days ago, the underwater man Vico brought him from the northeastern Maine to the southeast Florida coast overnight. He thought it was fantasy enough.
But now, in just 15 minutes, he was thrown into New York City from Texas.
"Is this... the power of magic?"
Merlin took a deep breath, he looked around, then lowered his head and merged into the turbulent crowd around him.
He did not forget the reminder of Mephistopheles that the great devil was willing to help him certainly have its own considerations, maybe this is part of the evil plan of the devil. But Mephistopheles said that there are many "sons" of Sannomiya in this city, which makes Merlin feel that New York is like the most dangerous hunting ground.
He did not plan to hunt those "sibs" as the devil suggested.
But he didn't want to make himself the target of those half-magic hunts. In the past year's travels, Merlin has learned many skills to live in unfamiliar areas. Now, what he has to do is hide in this city at the fastest speed.
He doesn't plan to hurt anyone, but it is certainly not harmful to learn more about the Sannomiya.
The most important thing is that after a long trip, he is also very tired, and it is also time to find a place to rest.
"Just stop here for a while."
Merlin stopped in the night in New York. He stopped in front of a street newsstand. He took out a piece of money and said to the boss who was reading the newspaper:
"A bottle of water, a newspaper, thank you. In addition, I would like to ask, if I want to find a temporary place to live here, is there any recommendation?"
Merlin's question caused the boss to raise his head. He glanced at Merlin, then tossed out a newspaper, turned back to fetch him water, and mumbled and said:
"If you have identification and money, then Brooklyn is for you. If you don’t have some gadgets that the police don’t like, then I suggest you go to Hell’s Kitchen, the place is definitely'welcome' 'You're a weird guy with sunglasses in the middle of the night.'
"Oh, hell's kitchen?"
Merlin picked up the newspaper and twisted the water bottle in front of the boss. After drinking a bottle of water, he grunted:
"It sounds like a good place, thanks."
—————————————————————
Merlin tried to find a place to stay in New York's most chaotic neighborhood, Maine, thousands of miles away, and another person was looking for any clues related to Merlin.
And he was very close to Merlin's last secret.
"Bee"
At night, under the lighthouse in Ci'en Port, in the slightly cold sea breeze, the lighthouse guard Tom Curry opened the door, and saw a tall, black man with an indifferent atmosphere, still wearing a leather trench coat, Standing in the cold wind outside the door.
Nick Fury took his ID from his arms and put it in front of Tom's eyes. He said:
"Senior Agent of the Strategic Science Corps Nick Fury. Mr. Tom, I come to you to learn something."
Tom glanced at Fury's document. He looked at this uncomfortable guy with a little vigilance. He said:
"Speak outside, my son just fell asleep."
"Well, yes."
Fury turned sideways and took off his glasses. He said to Tom:
"Relax, sir, this won't delay you too much time."
After a while, Tom and Agent Frey, who changed their clothes, sat on the tables and chairs of the dock not far from the lighthouse. Under the light of the dock, Agent Frey placed several hand-drawn images of people in front of Tom.
Tom saw at a glance that Merlin was painted on it.
Although the painting is not very clear and some details are slightly wrong, the outline of that face is definitely Merlin.
"You know him, right?"
The change in Tom's expression cannot be concealed from the experience of Frey, who has been observing Tom. He said in a deep voice:
"This young man is called Merlin. He has been shown to be related to at least three paranormal phenomena. Our experts believe that Mr. Merlin is probably the cause of the three paranormal phenomena."
"In other words, he is dangerous, perhaps not out of his instinct, but there are undoubtedly some elements in his body that must be valued. Allowing him to continue to move freely is dangerous for himself or those around him."
"So, Mr. Tom, if you have seen him, please tell me exactly where he is. Trust me, this is for his good."
Tom didn't answer immediately, he looked at Fury.
This handsome lighthouse administrator can be favored by the queen of Atlantis, absolutely not only because of his once sunny appearance, Tom is a wise man, but also a person with strong feelings, he will never put Merlin Whereabouts told the agent in front of him, not to mention, it also involved his baby son.
Therefore, Tom changed the word and asked softly:
"Mr. Fury, do you mean that Merlin is a bad guy? What bad things did he do?"
"I didn't say he was a bad guy, Mr. Tom."
Fury heard something else from Tom's words, so he explained:
"My experts believe that Lord Merlin is also likely to be a victim of a supernatural phenomenon. Believe me, this situation has not been uncommon in the past. From World War II to the present, we have handled many such incidents. After the incident, we always subconsciously seek help, and we are specifically to help them."
"We will look for them, we will contain them, and finally, we will protect them."
"As for Mr. Merlin, his situation is more complicated."
Fury took several files from the box he carried and handed them to Tom. As Tom looked through the files, Fury said:
"We initially noticed Merlin as an explosion in Chicago, and a deceived liar became a victim of the explosion."
"The second time, a year ago, in Central City, Mr. Merlin used his uncontrollable power to penetrate the collapsed train tunnel and rescued more than 200 people."
"The third time, half a month ago, outside the port of Ci'en, not far from here. The cargo ship of Stark Industry suffered an unpredictable storm at night, and several crew members were seriously injured. It was Merlin and another young man who rescued the wounded. But what surprised us the most was..."
"Recently, there has been no storm at all."
Tom finished what Fury didn't, and as the lighthouse administrator, it was his responsibility to predict the coming of the storm.
But in recent times, he has not observed any signs of storms.
"So, I think you should understand our concerns too."
Fury sighed and said to Tom:
"The time between the three events is very long, but there is no doubt that some of the power in Mr. Merlin is also growing. If he is allowed to continue to walk alone, maybe next time, I receive it, it may be one. A report of the casualties that meteorite hit the city. Thousands of people will die because of the sudden disaster."
"Human life, this is a very serious matter."
"Tom, if you know something, then you should tell me!"
Fury increased his tone, and he could see that Tom was also hesitant, but just as Fury was about to put pressure on again, the bulky cell phone he carried rang.
Fury smiled apologetically at Tom, then stepped aside and put the big brick-like thing in his ear.
"Yes, I am here to trace the clue No. 89084. What did you say? Dr. Piem hit Minister Carson?"
Agent Frey's expression became serious, and he said to the other end of the phone:
"Stop him! Don't let him leave! Notify Chief Carter and Chief Pierce, I will rush back immediately!"
The agent encountered another urgent matter. He turned and walked to Tom, took the business card from his pocket, and placed it in front of Tom.
He put away the file and said to Tom:
"Mr. Tom, I hope you can think about what I said just now. You are a real kind person. You are kind to others. People here like you very much, and you don’t want them to suffer bad luck?"
"If you think of anything, please contact me via this phone...Finally emphasized that I really came to help Mr. Merlin. Please believe me!"
After that, the swift and secret agent picked up the box and quickly left the port.
Tom stood on the pier and watched Fury's figure disappear into the night. He shook his head and turned back to his lighthouse.
The father who had experienced a lot of things was lying in front of his son's bed. He looked at the sleeping little Arthur. He stretched out his hand and took out the silver trident pendant from his pocket. He carefully placed it on the little Arthur's bed. side.
Just before Agent Frey arrived, Vico the Undersea had just visited him.
The indifferent underwater man didn’t say much, but said that he came from Atlanta’s request, and he would teach Arthur to use his abilities in the future, and he would protect Arthur until adulthood and protect Atlan. Na's son is not hurt by other forces.
This made Tom let go of his constant worry.
This also shows that Merlin did what he promised, and Tom believes in Merlin more than that agent.
As for where Merlin is now?
Vico didn't say, and Tom didn't ask, but he must be alive.
Wish the young man with good heart and good luck but all the best.
———————————————————
On the other side, on the other side of the ocean, in an upscale apartment on Baker Street in London.
The 11-year-old Hermione is playing games with her cat in her room.
She was wearing a small denim suit, wearing sunglasses, and wearing a children's cowboy hat on her head. She knelt on the ground like a weak patient. She said to the brutal kitten behind her:
"I have opened the tunnel...I have saved you, let's go."
"Don't tell others that you have seen me, lovely Miss Hermione, please help me keep my name, my secret."
But the cat looked at his little master dumbfounded. It couldn't understand what the little master was doing.
Obviously, this quirky little girl is imitating the scene where Merlin turned into black mist that day and blasted the tunnel.
She was the only person who was rescued, the only two who knew Merlin's true identity, and she was the only bystander who saw Merlin save everyone.
Although she has never seen Merlin since then, as an unknown hero who has rescued more than 200 people and left quietly in the sun, Merlin’s status in Hermione’s heart has already risen to a certain level, it is almost all The true incarnation of the hero in the eyes of the child.
"Oh, so boring!"
Even if the fun game is played many times, the children will be bored, not to mention, for the little girl Hermione, she will enter the middle school in two months.
It was definitely not a day to look forward to for Hermione, who had been laid out in life since she was a child.
She has already witnessed the existence of the other side of the world with her own eyes. She is even involved in the fascinating stories in the dark. How can Hermione continue to be an ordinary person willingly?
"Maybe, I should go to the United States to find Merlin! Maybe he will teach me to use magic."
A thought appeared in Hermione's mind, and then became more and more uncontrollable.
"boom"
Just when the little girl started to pack her clothes away from home, a shock shocked her.
Hermione turned her head and saw a gray owl flapping its wings, hovering outside the window of her house, and holding a letter in the paw of the owl.
"Wow!"
Hermione screamed, but she was not afraid. She climbed onto the bed, opened the window for the owl, then carefully took the letter from its paws, and took out a small bag of dried meat from her snacks. The docile and clever owl.
Hermione opened the envelope sealed in red wax, which contained a quirky admission letter. It is written in the most beautiful font. The envelope's heading alone has already attracted Hermione's attention.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
"Principal: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the British Wizarding Association, and First Class Magician of Merlin Jazz)"
"Wow!"
Hermione made another scream mixed with surprise and expectation, and she hurriedly looked down.
"Dear Hermione Jane Granger:"
"We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A list of required books and magic materials is enclosed. Your semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will be on July 31 Await your reply from your owl a few days ago."
"Vice principal: Milva McGonagall."
Hermione read the letter almost word by word. Her voice grew louder, and she almost finished reading with cheers in the end.
The child is already in extreme excitement. She has known since childhood that she will never become a doctor like her father and mother in her life... her life will definitely be wonderful! Now it seems that she guessed right.
"Ah, it's all good luck brought by Mr. Merlin!"
"From today, I am also a wizard!"
