Chas is worthy of Du Pund's good friend.

This fat driver drove as well as Du Punde. He walked across the street and walked through the alleys. While chatting with Merlin, he took Merlin to the Xavier Talent Academy on the edge of Queens.

"boom"

Merlin closed the door, reached out and handed a few banknotes to Chas, he said:

"Thanks, Chas."

"Mr. Merlin, do you need me to wait for you here? It's hard to get a car near here."

Chass stuck his head out of the car window and said to Merlin:

"I can give you a 20% discount."

"No, Chas, get busy, I won't delay your business."

Merlin shook his hand without looking back:

"Be careful when you go to work at night. If you are in trouble, just call me."

Behind him, Chase shrugged his shoulders, quickly turned the steering wheel, and steered the car out of this slightly remote place.

In the information of SHIELD, Merlin had seen the Xavier Talent Academy more than once. He knew that this seemingly normal college actually recruited mutants who were abandoned or hostile by society. student.

This academy was established in the 1980s, but the prototype of the mutant academy was already there just after the end of World War II.

It is said that when Professor Charles, who was born in the rich family, was young, he once ventured with another mutant leader, the radical Magnet King Eric Lanschel, for some time.

They have done a lot of big things and are really good friends and brothers, but the two have always had friction in ideas and eventually parted ways after the Cuban missile crisis.

To be honest, almost no one can tell the truth about that history.

Even in the information left by Ms. Carter, the language of the deadliest gun-missing incident during the Cold War was unknown. According to Ms. Carter, many people suspect that Professor Charles used his ability to cover up Cuba. The truth of the missile crisis, but the problem is that no one can produce evidence to prove this.

Not even Ms. Carter herself was sure whether her memory of the matter was true, or whether it had been modified by the powerful mutant who was good at mental strength.

This may sound like a fantasy, but the problem is that Professor Charles really has such a capability.

It is for this reason that in the archives within SHIELD, Prof. Charles's ability threat assessment has always been the highest S.

He may not be the most powerful mutant in the world, but for the government, he is definitely the most threatening. From the perspective of maintaining public safety and social order, even the extremely destructive Magneto is threatening He is not as good as him.

"It is said that in the eyes of Professor Charles, there is no secret in the world... for the agents, he is really a dangerous person."

Merlin stood in front of the black fence gate of Xavier's Gifted Junior College, and he looked over at the college in front of him.

From the appearance, this place is a bit too luxurious.

It is as big as 4 golf courses, like an independent little kingdom, in the middle of the green grassy ground, there is a huge red castle-like building.

This building is similar to the castle of Wayne Manor in Gotham City, they were built in one era.

In front of the castle, there is an elegant fountain. In the sunshine, some children are playing on the grass, and a few young people gather together to fish in the pond by the grass.

At the end of Merlin's line of sight, there was even a small forest, which seemed to embellish this family estate.

It is said that this area is the family industry of Professor Charles. The professor almost supported the development of this college by himself.

This is also enough to prove that Professor Charles' family was once very wealthy, perhaps not as prominent as the Wayne family, but it is definitely beyond the scope of ordinary people.

"Ding"

Merlin reached out and pressed the doorbell. A moment later, in the intercom near the gate, a low inquiry came:

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I am looking for Professor Charles."

Merlin said mildly:

"My name is Merlin, Merlin Riley."

"Do you have an appointment? Mr. Merlin."

The voice in the intercom asked:

"You should know that Professor Charles will not see you if there is no appointment."

"Uh, I didn't make an appointment."

Merlin says:

"But I think that the professor should not shut me out, you can ask the professor himself. Just say, I made a special trip to thank him for coming."

"..."

The communicator was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Please wait, Mr. Merlin."

The voice responded politely. After a few minutes, the closed black fence door in front of Merlin's eyes slowly opened, and a red golf cart, along the road between the lawns, stopped in front of Merlin's eyes.

"Mr. Merlin?"

The driver was a big, young man with short hair, not as handsome as the outline of a face, like a rock cut by an axe, and looked very deterrent. But when he laughed, he was very gentle. This big guy has a special, quiet temperament, just like an artist, um, a philosopher.

"Get in the car, the professor is waiting for you."

Merlin got on the golf cart. While looking at the beautiful scenery in the college, he asked:

"Are you a mutant too?"

"Correct."

The meticulous young man driving said:

"My name is Piot Nikolayevich Rasputin, uh, the name is a little long, don’t mind, you can call me Piot, or simply call me'Gronix'."

"Huh? Steel Lux?"

Merlin laughed:

"This name is really domineering. Generally speaking, the nicknames of the mutants represent your abilities, so, you are actually a powerful fighter?"

"That's right."

Piot smiled implicitly and said to Merlin:

"Are you a friend of the professor? Mr. Merlin."

"That's right."

Merlin responded to the young people around him with the same sentence.

He didn't really want to talk about his relationship with the professor, because although Professor Charles saved him twice, Merlin had never seen him. This is the first time Merlin has met with the professor formally. The story between them cannot be said clearly in a few words.

Seeing that Merlin did not want to say, Gang Lux did not continue to ask, this young man with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder drove the car, perfectly followed the road between the lawns, and circled a large circle before sending Merlin to the school's small At the gate of the castle, there was already a lady in a suit waiting for him.

It was a slender black lady. Her beautiful face and short silver-white hair were impressive. According to Merlin's experience, the hair was not dyed. It should be her true hair color.

"This is Ms. Ororo."

Gang Lux stopped the car at a glance, and then introduced Merlin to:

"She is one of the professor's disciples and the dean of the college. Then she will lead you to see the professor."

"If it were not for me to know that you are an academy here, I might think I was in a secret organization."

Merlin jumped out of the car and joked to Steel Lux and silver-haired Ms. Ororo:

"Just a short journey, just change two guides. Your secret work is really good."

Faced with this ridicule, Steel Lux shrugged his shoulders without talking, and Ororo said:

"Mr. Merlin, after seeing the professor, you will understand the current situation...please follow me."

Auroruo's work and the unhurried Steel Lux are the two extremes. She has strong execution, and her whole body exudes a strong woman's breath. Merlin adjusted her clothes and waved to the Steel Lux that she just met. He walked into the castle behind Ororo.

The two walked side by side in a clean but well-maintained corridor. After a few seconds, Merlin suddenly asked:

"Are you also a wizard?"

"Ok."

Ororo nodded. She did not conceal her identity. She said:

"My family is a famous wizard family in a certain country in East Africa, and it is also a family of mutant bloodlines. For thousands of years, we have mastered the power to control wind, rain and thunder. I came to North America for some special reasons... You are also a wizard, right? Mr. Merlin, when I went to the Magic Congress to buy materials, I have seen you a few times. You have a great conversation with the wizard of Samuel. It seems that you are their guest. "

"Even a mutant and a wizard, Ms. Ororo, your double identity is really amazing."

Merlin gave a little compliment. While looking at the paintings visited on both sides of the corridor, he said:

"Maybe, we can find some time to talk about the magic, the things about the spell."

"sure."

Ororo did not quit, presumably the same as a wizard, so that the relationship between the two people has suddenly become closer, the silver-haired lady said to Merlin:

"After the students are on vacation, I will be free, and then we can go out for a meal together. I heard that Mr. Raven, who is famous in the alien world of New York, is a tough man with many advanced spells. The wizard."

"Oh, that's just false praise and misinformation."

Merlin waved his hand and said with a look of shame:

"I'm just an ordinary wizard, and it just happened to appear in those events."

Speaking of which, Merlin and Ororo have already walked to the third floor of the castle, his nose suddenly pumped, and then asked in a low voice:

"There is a smell of medicine and blood here, is anyone injured?"

"Correct."

Sorcerer Ororo's expression was a little low, she reached out and pushed open the closed door in front of her eyes, and then said to Merlin:

"It's Professor Charles, my mentor. He was hit by an unknown energy last night and he just woke up a few hours ago."

"last night?"

Merlin's expression changed a bit, he quickly walked into the room in front of him, and then saw a bald old man lying on a hospital bed with a drug catheter inserted in his arm, both on his cheeks and neck. Traces of scratches that have been treated.

There was an intellectual beauty with long reddish brown hair beside him who was taking care of him. Judging from the familiarity of the beauty and Ororo, it should be another student of the professor.

Merlin looked at Professor Charles in front of him.

Except for a bare, hairless, eyebrows, and beardless face, his appearance is not so striking, but those eyes are impressive, they are bright and almost negligible. The overall image of his face.

"You came."

The professor was lying on the hospital bed with a weak tone.

Merlin nodded, he pushed his glasses, and his vision started. In his eyes, the professor's vitality was slightly weak, but there was no sign of serious injuries, which made Merlin slightly relieved.

It seems that Professor Charles' short contact with the arrogant queen last night was not peaceful, and judging from Rui Wen's later performance, she and the professor played against each other and she won.

Even bosses such as Professor Charles have failed in front of the arrogant queen. It seems that the mysterious "original sin" in Rui Wen's body is really terrible.

"I'm here to thank you, Mr. Charles."

Merlin took a chair and sat beside the professor. He said to the old man on the bed:

"Thank you for your help last night, and the time before...Although I don’t like people entering my mind, you saved me after all."

Professor Charles tilted his head and lay on the pillow to look at Merlin. He didn't answer, just smiled, as if to say that it was nothing.

"I didn't bring a gift."

Merlin sat upright, and he said to Charles in front of him:

"This makes this thanks a little bit sincere, but if you have anything I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

"Have."

The professor closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He did not hide things. On the contrary, he said frankly to Merlin:

"Agent Merlin, I have been paying attention to one thing recently. Some mutants, some mutants on the North American continent, some of whom I and you are all concerned about, have lost their traces during this period of time."

He looked at Merlin, he said:

"For example...Logan."

"Logan?"

Hearing the name, Merlin's eyes blinked, and he remembered the name.

In the Avengers plan made by Fury, Logan's number is 003, which is even higher than him, and Logan is indeed a mutant.

"Yes, Logan, the powerful mutant you always wanted to reach."

The professor sighed and said:

“I’ve always had Logan’s whereabouts before, but I don’t know if I can believe you, and now, Logan’s whereabouts have disappeared, and I suspect that he is in some trouble. If you can help us find Logan, and others Those missing mutants, then I personally would be very grateful to you."

The old man raised his hand helplessly and patted his body. He said to Merlin:

"It was my business, but last night, I underestimated the child... so I paid for my recklessness."

"The professor's recoil energy affected the use of his ability, and a thorny energy entrenched him."

Ororo stood behind Merlin and explained to him:

"Until the professor recovers further, he cannot use his mental power to find those missing compatriots."

"I need more information, some clues."

Merlin sighed with relief. He glanced at the professor and then at Orolo. He said:

"The large-scale disappearance of a capable person like a mutant is already within the control of S.D.O.L.D., and I will help you find them. But I will need your assistance when necessary."

Merlin says:

"Powerful variants like Logan are missing, which means that we cannot underestimate the forces that have taken them away."

Ororo exchanged glances with his tutor, Professor Charles, who was lying on the bed. She nodded to Merlin. She said:

"Yes, we will send a trusted fellow who will not lag behind to assist you."

"And we will not let you fight alone, Mr. Merlin, when necessary, the X-Men will also be dispatched."
