Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the end, Fury didn't have a treat.

Because he didn't have time to have a relaxing meal with his subordinates.

After handling the Hell's Kitchen hijacking case, the busy man took a plane to Washington, where Mr. President was waiting for Fury to personally report to him about the turbulent fire dragon incident.

Although the Horntail did not cause too much damage to New York City until its death, this matter that should have been kept secret has now become open and aboveboard. This is itself a mistake of the secret department of SHIELD. From the very beginning, he had almost nothing to do with Fury.

But as the leader, he still has to take the blame without hesitation. He can't put all the blame on Merlin and Harry, can he?

Agents Natasha and Patton were also unable to attend the dinner party, because they were going to escort the corpse of the hornet to the research base in Nevada. This was the first time that S.H.I.E.L.D. had truly harvested advanced supernatural creatures since it was rebuilt. The sample has officially achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1, so the confidentiality level of this matter is also very, very high.

In the end, even Aisinus and the crow couldn't participate in the dinner party, because the magic warrior squad commanded by the two senior Aurors had casualties, and they had to rush back to the Magic Congress for questioning and report everything to their superiors.

Everyone is very busy, it seems that Merlin is relatively free now, so in the end he took the children to have dinner.

They went to a well-known little restaurant in Queens called Mick's, and the pizza there was really, really good, and the kids enjoyed it.

Their salutes have already been placed in the temporary residence of the Magic Congress, so after eating, Merlin drove them back to the place where they lived tonight. This should be regarded as a real farewell, and these children will follow tomorrow morning Professor McGonagall returns to London.

After you go back this time, you will definitely be involved in the war between the wizarding world and Voldemort.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the streets were still crowded with people. While fiddled with the steering wheel, Merlin said to the children sitting in the car:

I talked to the Aurors of the US Ministry of Magic. They suspect that the British Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated by Voldemort's followers. That is to say, you will have a hard time after you go back.

I know you are all good boys, but I hope you will protect yourselves.

Merlin said softly:

Always hold on to your wands, and don't be afraid when it's time to stand up and fight, just like Harry today. When facing anything, fear is just a choice, and according to my experience, the more fear, the greater the distance. The worse is getting closer.

The traffic lights in front of him turned on, and Merlin stepped on the brakes. He opened the car window and glanced at the feasting lights on both sides of the street. He turned his head and said to the children:

Call me or a friend if you need help, okay?

But the war between wizards cannot involve ordinary people.

Ron frowned and said:

My parents and other elders would definitely not agree with us doing this.

No, Ron.

Merlin smiled, and he explained to the children in another way:

You see, if Voldemort wins. If radical wizarding race elements like his prevail, then the lives of all Muggles in Britain will be threatened. From your point of view, this is just a dispute between wizards, but From our perspective, this is a crisis that affects tens of millions of people.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for the agents of the European branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. to intervene in this matter, because this is our duty and the mission entrusted to us by the World Security Council.

The traffic light in front of him turned on again, and Merlin turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the road leading to the city. He said:

This is not just your war, it is also our war. We also have the right to join the battlefield. Of course, all of this will have to wait until SHIELD contacts and establishes a cooperative relationship with the wizarding world, but I believe that if Deng Professor Bullido is really as wise as you say, then he will agree and find a way to advance this matter.

Merlin let out a laugh and said:

This is not something you need to care about. After all, you are just a group of young wizards.

Ten minutes later, the black Ford parked in the parking lot under a white skyscraper. Merlin opened the door and watched the little wizards come out of the car. He waved to them, and Hugging Harry and Hermione, and patting their heads, he said:

I won't send you in, children, see you later.

Merlin, remember to write to me!

Hermione took Merlin's hand, and the little girl said to Merlin pitifully:

Hogwarts doesn't have a communication signal, so the phone won't work.

Well, I will.

Merlin reached out and stroked the little girl's hair, he said:

I write when I have time, and as you can see, I am actually very busy.

Thank you for your care these days, Merlin.

Harry, dressed in a casual suit, shook Merlin's hand goodbye like an adult, looked at Merlin, and said:

Thank you for taking me to fight together, thank you for letting me see another life.

After finishing speaking, the child and his friends turned and walked towards the Magic Congress building. They walked to the other side of the street and waved to Merlin.

In the vision of the spirit vision, Merlin saw that the white, slightly old building was under the effect of some kind of magic, and the bricks were constantly rising and falling, finally opening a path for the children .

After watching the children leave, Merlin lowered his head and looked at the things in his hands.

It was handed to him quietly by Harry during the handshake.

It was a napkin with the logo of Mick's Restaurant printed on it, and on the napkin was written a complex spell and a few words written by Harry.

Merlin, this is the incantation of Calling God to Guard. I learned it by accident 2 years ago.

This is an advanced spell. It has a strong restraint effect on any dark power. Dumbledore told me that it can also be used to protect the soul from darkness.

I think you need it very much, so consider it a parting gift from me. Please don't tell anyone else about it.

In addition, when using the summoning guard, the spell is not the key. The key is that you must recall the happiest things in your memory. The deeper the good emotions, the stronger the power of the summoning guard.

Finally, I wish you a complete and happy life, Merlin, thank you again for letting me know the meaning of a hero.

Merlin looked at the note in his hand, he knew the value of this spell.

In the magic textbook that Mr. Arthur gave him, there is no record of calling God to guard at all, which proves that this spell can only be learned by formal wizards, and in the wizarding world, such knowledge is very precious and cannot be used. Measured by pure money.

Harry, you really gave me a hot present.

Merlin raised his head and looked at the building in front of him that had been restored to its original state. He clenched his fingers, and the black mist dissipated, burning the paper towel.

Although God-Calling Guard is an advanced magic, its spells are too simple compared to other advanced magic spells. Merlin took a look at it and remembered it in his mind.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the door, started the car, and left here.

On the way back to Hell's Kitchen, Merlin turned on the car radio and played a soothing song. He watched the night scenery passing by the side of the road, and his heart became very peaceful.

And at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the seat behind Merlin, it was the voice of an old man:

Can you drive slower? Mr. Merlin, I'm not very used to Muggle cars, and this kind of bump makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

swish

Merlin subconsciously pulled out his wand and pointed it behind him.

An old man with white hair and a lush white beard was sitting on the seat that should have been empty.

He was wearing a strange off-white robe, a soft hat embellished with gemstones on his head, gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and several rings shining with magical luster on his fingers.

The old man's eyes were full of gentleness, but under that gentle gaze, there was a trace of scrutiny and curiosity hidden.

Oh, look ahead, Mr. Merlin, you're driving now, take responsibility for your own life and the lives of others, okay?

Who are you

Merlin saw the old man's appearance and heard the old man's persuasion. He put down his wand and focused on the steering wheel again. He looked in the side mirror and said:

Dumbledore?

right.

The old man leaned on the car seat, and he replied softly:

I'm Dumbledore, Aforth Dumbledore. Of course, I'm still in England, and it's just a phantom that appears here. I just talked to Professor McGonagall about you, and I think, I have to come and see for myself.

Are the appearances of well-known wizards so scary?

Merlin complained, and while turning the car into a quiet alley, he said:

So, Lord Dumbledore, you came here to confirm Harry's safety, right?

Of course, this is a very important part of it.

Dumbledore's Apparition replied in a pure, cadenced English accent:

Harry was a very, very important part of the war against Voldemort. Of course, his friends were also very important. In every prophecy, there are images of them.

But I'm not only here for them, I'm here for you.

Dumbledore lowered his voice and said:

You threw Umbridge into the prison of the Magic Congress, and you did us a great favor by exposing the woman's sinister intentions.

Her actions are dangerous and crazy. After being exposed by the Magic Congress, the Ministry of Magic will face great pressure from public opinion. Even if Fuji is hostile to me, he can no longer suppress us through official means. This is about to begin. It is very important to us in the war of war.

It can be said that you have won the first opportunity for us, which should be thanked.

You also helped us untie the knot in Harry's heart. After the death of Cedric's child, Harry's heart has been shrouded in self-blame and powerlessness. You let him understand the meaning of salvation and let him regain Although I do not appreciate this process, since the result is good, it is a good thing.”

The old wizard shrugged:

Maybe it's not always a bad thing to let them see the cruelty of the real world once in a while.

Hearing what the old wizard said, Merlin also smiled. He lit a cigarette in the car and said:

Look, I have done so much, so there is no reward? Mr. Dumbledore, I heard that you are a very generous person.

award?

Dumbledore glanced at Merlin and said:

Isn't the spell Harry gave you considered a reward? Do you know how much money and energy you need to spend to get a high-level spell like Calling God Guard through the normal way?

Harry gave it to me.

Merlin turned his head and looked at Dumbledore, with a kind smile on his face, he said:

I mean, what about the reward you gave me?

Uh, I came out in a hurry.

The old wizard shrugged:

Besides, magic phantoms cannot carry real objects. How about this, let me exchange some information.

His wise eyes glanced at Merlin, and he emphasized his tone:

Some information you urgently need.

good.

Merlin's expression became serious. Dumbledore's phantom was silent for a few seconds, as if he was organizing his words. After a while, he said:

The dark magic power in your body comes from Sangong, which is a super-level demon. In the current wizarding world, even Voldemort, who has the deepest research on black magic, can't help you, because that is already another level of power.

If you want to purify the dark magic power, you have to go to another place.

Dumbledore said:

A place that only exists in legends.

Believe me, Merlin, you may think that you have been involved in the real magical world, but in my opinion, you are still just a toddler beginner, and you are far from the truth of this world. For example, do you I'm not curious, who sets the current order in the magic world?

Honestly, I'm interested, Professor.

Merlin's eyes sparkled with exploration, and he said:

Tell me more.

No.

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

I can only tell you some basics, because you need to find more information by yourself.

The ruler of the magical world lives in the east of the world. She is the guardian of order, the observer of dimensions, the wisest and most powerful being born among the stars. She is the benevolent and the arbiter. She is the savior. The destroyer is also the destroyer. If there are gods in the world, then she must be the most noble among them.

The troubles caused by Voldemort can't even make her look at England more, and you and I are no different in her eyes. Like the Three Houses, she is another level of order manifested.

We cannot say her name, we can only honor her as

Supreme Mage.
