Shadow of the Beautiful World

Su Rui, I don't want to drive you away.

After a while, Merlin walked into the living room with two cups of tea, put a cup of tea in front of Su Rui, and said to the uninvited princess:

It's just that I don't think it's appropriate for you to live here?

He said:

I won't say that your brother is in London. He is far away, but Ororo also has a house in New York. You may be more suitable to live with her. I have no other meaning, just to give you a suggestion.

I asked Ororo.

Princess Su Rui still maintained the straightforward and carefree character she had when she and Merlin first met. She sipped her tea and said to Merlin:

She said that she has to deal with some affairs among mutants recently, and she will be very busy and have no time to take care of me, and she lives a little far from the university, but your side is quite close.

Oh yes.

Merlin reached out and rubbed his forehead, he said:

It's true that they will be very busy recently, but I will also be very busy recently, and I am also involved in the matter among mutants. Let me tell the truth, Su Rui, you are a foreign princess, and a person like me who is engaged in Living with a single man who works secretly, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation.

I have to keep a low profile to live here.

Su Rui shrugged, and the princess explained to Merlin:

Father originally let me live in his luxurious villa in New York, but it was too eye-catching. I came to study, not to show off my wealth. When my brother first arrived in Oxford, he lived in the most luxurious villa there. Uptown, which turned out to be a lot of trouble, and I don't want to make the same mistakes he made.

She glanced at the furniture in Merlin's room, and said solemnly:

Your house here is quite old and not very conspicuous. The most important thing is that you are an agent and you are very good at hiding yourself. I live here and will never arouse other people's suspicion.

She stretched out her hand and looked at the unique watch on her wrist, which looked like a detector. She said to Merlin:

I also consulted Ororo, and she told me that if you live here, you can still protect me. After all, you know my identity, and the nature of your work determines that you will not let me be harmed by any outside world.

She blinked at Merlin:

I'm not my brother. I haven't received professional fighting training. I can't deal with the thugs outside.

That's exactly what it says.

Merlin frowned and nodded, he said:

Your identity is indeed sensitive, and you are not very willing to communicate with the outside world, and you are even less willing to use official power to cover up the background. However, I believe that His Majesty T'Chaka will not be so relieved to let you come out alone? Your brother You are protected by a female warrior like Okna, don’t you have one?”

have.

Su Rui said frankly:

But I let them live in the villa. They will protect me only when I go to school. I have reached an agreement with them. Outside of school, they will not interfere with my affairs. I occasionally think about it. What about ordinary people's lives?

This is quite in line with the mentality of the princesses.

Merlin smiled and said:

I always want to see how ordinary people live their lives every day, but I think you may not be able to adapt to that kind of ordinary life. After the initial curiosity is stripped away, you will soon get tired of it. In most At that time, spiritual freedom is far less important than material abundance, after all, ordinary people cannot live by ideals and dreams.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Rui:

Okay, you convinced me, you can choose a room on the first or second floor, or you can live in Eric's previous room. I'll take you to my sister's place for dinner this weekend, and A couple of my adopted kids will be back over the weekend.

The basement is an alchemy room, which is used by my sister Ruiwen. She doesn't like others to touch her things casually. She may have put some dangerous things in the alchemy room, so you'd better not go in.

Merlin thought for a while, and shouted to the second floor:

Cuckoo!

Meow

Accompanied by a meow, an orange shadow came down from the second floor and landed precisely beside Merlin. The orange cat still held a bone toy in its mouth. It was a long time ago when Merlin gave it from Skull Island. brought back.

Merlin held Cuckoo in his arms, and while smoothing Cuckoo's hair, he said to Su Rui:

The most important thing about living here is not to mess with Cuckoo, I can't stop it from getting angry.

a cat?

Su Rui's eyes widened, looking at the orange cat in Merlin's arms, she frowned quickly, then took out a pair of special sunglasses from her pocket, put them on her eyes, she stared at Goo, Goo also used A scrutinizing gaze fixed on the stranger.

After a while, Su Rui leaned back with a little fear, and she said to Merlin:

This is definitely not a creature on Earth, and there is no biological data similar to it in Wakanda's heterogeneous database. It looks like there is a black hole in its body. What is it?

Cuckoo came from among the stars.

Merlin looked curiously at the sunglasses on Su Rui's face, and said:

But Cuckoo is harmless. It is the guardian of this house. As long as you stay in the house, even if New York is destroyed, you will be fine. The premise is that you have a good relationship with Cuckoo.

Also, these sunglasses look very unique. Did you make them yourself?

Yeah, I made this 2 years ago and my brother has one too.

Su Rui took off the sunglasses, handed them to Merlin, and tried to reach out to touch Gu Gu's fur.

The orange cat lay on the sofa, looking at Su Rui with eyes like a king. It didn't care about Su Rui's touch. In its eyes, Su Rui's threat to it was less than those disgusting stray dogs on the street. Come bigger.

Merlin took Su Rui's sunglasses, and he put the sunglasses on his eyes. The next moment, on the lens in front of his eyes, clusters of information jumped into his sight.

He looked at Su Rui, and the body information of the princess of Wakanda soon appeared on the lens, about her height, weight, three-dimensional, heartbeat, and the image of skeleton perspective similar to X-ray, and about Su Rui All the information of , have surfaced on another lens.

What surprised Merlin the most was that there was a puzzling estimated combat effectiveness index on the corner of the pair of lenses, and it was unknown what standard was used to calculate it.

In short, Su Rui's combat power is 5.

He turned his head to look at Cuckoo again, and as a result, a series of ??? appeared on both lenses. In the column of estimated combat power, a blood-red skull appeared, which seemed to represent some kind of warning.

This thing is interesting.

Merlin took off his sunglasses and said to Su Rui:

Is the information in this associated with your Wakanda database? Can it be modified to associate objects?

OK.

Su Rui hugged the lazy Gugu in his arms, and while helping Gugu relax the hair under his neck, he said to Merlin:

As long as you have developer permissions, you can associate any database that can be cracked at will. This pair of glasses uses Wakanda's most advanced data transmission technology and can be used in a variety of complex environments.

Make me one.

Merlin returned Su Rui's sunglasses to Her Royal Highness, and he said to Su Rui:

I won't charge you rent for five years.

Wow, you really know how to do business.

Her Royal Highness said exaggeratedly:

Do you know how expensive this thing is? Judging from the current housing prices in New York, this pair of glasses can buy a villa in Manhattan, okay?

She said to Merlin:

However, for the sake of Eric and Ororo, I can take the time to make a pair for you, as a gesture of goodwill. After all, you are also a friend of Wakanda. But I have a Conditions.

Su Rui waved her finger at Merlin proudly, and she said:

As for me, I have liked machinery since I was a child. I am quite talented in this area, but I have dismantled everything that can be dismantled in Wakanda. If you can help me find some that I have never seen , if a mechanical creation more advanced than Wakanda's technology is available for my research, I will

Snapped

Before Su Rui finished speaking, Merlin pressed something on the table and pushed it to Su Rui.

It was a blue metal block composed of many mechanical squares, just from the outside, it was full of a futuristic sci-fi feeling.

This thing, I call it the Cybertron weapon module. It comes from an advanced mechanical civilization in the stars. It can freely change up to 13 weapon modes according to the user's ideas, and can be charged in multiple ways. The most extreme Throw it in the sun, and it will slowly recover its internal energy.

Merlin says:

But it's locked and only I can use it. Unfortunately, it's helping me less and less now.

What I mean is that you can study it, or even dismantle it. I only have one request, to revoke this permission and restore it to the state of pending use right.

Merlin said to Su Rui, whose eyes were shining like an explorer who had found a treasure:

I'm going to give it to a friend for defense.

Wait first.

Su Rui took out some rather complicated instruments from the bag at hand, and put them on her hands. She used some transmission lines to connect those instruments to the weird watch on her wrist, and then, like a mechanic, she began to touch the eyes carefully. The Cybertron weapon mod.

With the beating of small blue light arcs, Su Rui's expression became more and more exaggerated.

It's like discovering a new continent.

9 miniature advanced silicon-based chips, 12 universal deformation shafts that I can't understand the principle, and a miniature motion capture database, 17 completely different circuit combinations, and energy conduction and energy transmission that are completely different from what we know. The data encryption mode, and finally a set of complex deformation system framework with a high degree of synthesis and obvious rules If I can make such a thing, I can definitely get 5 doctorates! At least!

Su Rui evaluated the weapon module in front of him with a voice mixed with surprise and exclamation. Merlin listened to those things that he couldn't understand at all, and he frowned and asked:

You mean, you can't handle this thing?

I can't figure it out for now.

Su Rui replied frankly:

This is the most complicated mechanical product I have seen since I was a child. I need a little time to learn this new knowledge. Well, give me half a month, it should be enough.

Half a month?

Merlin stared at Su Rui, he said:

you sure?

12x15, a full 180 hours

Su Rui turned to look at Merlin:

It is completely enough. Although it is advanced enough, it has not exceeded my understanding. It is nothing more than some more complicated engineering knowledge, but as long as it conforms to the basic mechanical operation logic, then it is only a matter of time to master them.

When the princess talked about her field of expertise, she had a very proud self-confidence. She said to Merlin:

After half a month, I will return you a intact weapon module that has been unlocked, and what style of your sunglasses do you want? Also, how many databases do you need? I can reserve the data interface in advance .”

This style.

Merlin pointed to the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He took off the glasses, revealing those eyes that were becoming more and more like burning magma, and said to Su Rui:

It also has a camouflage function. You should understand that these eyes will scare ordinary people.

Wow!

Su Rui looked into Merlin's eyes, and she sighed:

Your eyes are so cool

Merlin frowned and looked at Su Rui, he said:

It seems that your aesthetics is really different from that of ordinary people. Is this a common problem of geniuses?

I'm not a genius.

Su Rui said modestly:

Compared to Dr. Reed and that playboy Stark, I'm still far behind.

Tony I know.

Merlin says:

He inherited his father's terrifying talent in mechanical science. It's a pity that he is now using that talent to develop some advanced killing weapons. But Dr. Reed, I don't know much about it. Who is he?

You don't even know Dr. Reed?

Su Rui looked at Merlin with the eyes of a primitive person, and she said in an exaggerated tone:

Reed Richards, the smartest person in the world, he is the son of Mr. Nathaniel Richards. He has been a world-renowned child prodigy since he was a child. He got his first doctorate at the age of 14. At the age of 20, he At that time, I already had 8 Ph.D. degrees, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the physical embodiment of science in the world, and he is my idol!

I have no idea.

Merlin said frankly:

I don't care much about the affairs of the scientific community, but I have heard of Mr. Nathaniel. He is a close friend of Howard Stark. He also worked in the Strategic Science Corps for a while. It is a pity that such a genius Speaking of disappearing in the last century, this incident is still a bit weird.”

Merlin rubbed his forehead and said softly:

No matter how Howard and Nathaniel look at it, they are not so simple to die.

What did you say?

Su Rui looked at Merlin, she said curiously:

You mean, they're still alive?

No, I mean

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, he said to Su Rui:

It's time for me to go to work, Your Royal Highness, the long journey must have made you very tired, take a good rest, let's go out for dinner tonight, and I will introduce some friends to you.

Remember, don't mess with Gu Gu!
