Shadow of the Beautiful World

The high-level prisoners of a.i.m, Winston, George, and McCree were summoned by Merlin to Leprechaun Dobby and sent back to the ghost base at one time.

And Merlin himself returned to New York with the Displacement Curse.

He jumped straight into Fury's safe house in Queens, and when he emerged, Fury was sipping hot coffee, seemingly trying to keep himself awake.

And beside Fury, the real old man who should have rested at this point, Alexander Pierce, who is now in high position, and the old secret agent Dum Dugan, they are already here waiting for Merlin.

From this we can see how amazing the news Merlin brought back was.

You said you found Avenger #1?

Seeing Merlin appear, Fury immediately put down the coffee cup, and he asked bluntly:

Is the news reliable?

this!

Merlin took out a small box from his pocket, put it in front of everyone, and then stretched out his hand to open it.

It contained a map and a broken compass that had been cracked by the frost.

I found this in a.i.m's base. I can basically confirm that those scientists really found the place where the long-lost Captain America Steve Rogers fell. Now it is not ruled out that they are looking for Captain America there.

Damn them!

Alexander Pierce with a gloomy face picked up the map, opened it, and looked at the red mark on the map, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

How dare they hide such important news!

That base has been destroyed, Sir Pierce.

Merlin said to Pierce:

I also brought back the high-level researchers in the base. Maybe we can collect enough a.i.m evidence from them, and then attack them at the official level.

Very well, Merlin, very well.

Pierce handed the map to Agent Dugan beside him, he raised his head, and said to Merlin with a tone of admiration and admiration:

Every time the two of us meet, you will bring me a surprise. Look at you, Merlin, you are already the signature agent of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. The hidden danger of the snake, and now it has helped us find the hero who has been missing for decades. You don't like to show off, and you only do your own things well, and there are too few outstanding young people like you now.

Pierce turned to look at Fury, he said:

Fury, shouldn't such an outstanding young man be commended?

Pierce, he's already a Level 8 agent.

Fury said to his old boss a little bit unmotivated:

He is also the commander of the most important department of S.H.I.E.L.D. His title is already equivalent to the rank of a brigadier general, and he is not yet 33 years old

It has nothing to do with age, Fury!

Pierce shook his head and said:

A good boy should be rewarded, so let's leave this to Merlin. The day he helps us find Steve, he will be promoted to a level 9 agent! His talents should be put to more useful use Fury, it would be a pity to let Merlin manage a subordinate department.

You mean, put him in command?

Fury glanced at Merlin, who gave him a wink.

Obviously, Merlin is not willing to enter the command layer now, which means he will leave s.d.o.l.d.

Pierce, I know you value Merlin very much, and he has indeed made a lot of contributions, but promoting him like this will cause some bad influence.

Fury pondered for a moment, and he declined:

His department is currently carrying out a large-scale plan for heterogeneous surveillance in North America. Recently, there are still uneasy mutants making trouble. At this time, let Merlin leave his department. We can't find a suitable successor at all. We have already started The plan that has been advanced is likely to die because of this.”

Wait for a while, after everything is over, I will give Merlin the reward he deserves.

okay.

Pierce sighed with regret. Like a real old man, he moved his fingers and said to others:

I'm old, and maybe I won't be able to work on the council for long. I always want to help you when I can still help you, and help you outstanding people.

The dawn of a new order has emerged. Once the problem of mutants is resolved, the existing social order will become more stable, but this is not enough. There are still many forces threatening innocent people in the dark. I heard that you are still chasing Hydra recently?

Fury and Merlin nodded at the same time.

Well, continue to be so vigilant.

Pierce nodded and said:

Those lingering bastards are always coveting the world under the light, we can't let them succeed, if you need help, ask, Fury, and Merlin, I can help you get other countries in the World Security Council I would like to remind you that don’t just focus on North America, the world is very big and there are many places where Hydra can hide.”

How about this.

Pierce seemed to have made up his mind, saying to Fury and Merlin:

I will find a way to get you the right to act among the countries of the World Security Council, so that you can pass unimpeded when performing tasks around the world.

Thank you so much, Pierce.

Fury thanked him sincerely, and Merlin also looked at the old man in front of him with respect.

He knew that the World Security Council was not Pierce's monopoly. If Pierce wanted to fulfill his promise, it would inevitably cause waves in the council, and even threaten Pierce's position.

But he still did it.

Just like the old man's self-introduction when he and the old man met for the first time.

He is a man of faith and is willing to act for his beliefs.

This place should be in Greenland.

At this time, Agent Dugan, who was sitting on the side studying the map, said:

This is far from the scope of Steve's fall that we have determined before, but it is not impossible. Ocean currents, ice floes, and decades of climate change may cause Steve to fall from his original height. The drop point moved to another place.

If the information it represents is true, it can also explain why we have not been able to find him after searching for so long in the Siberian Arctic Circle.

We must get him back!

Pierce closed his eyes slightly, and he said:

Steve Rogers, his existence has surpassed his story itself. To this day, he is still the best benchmark of American soldiers and the idol in the hearts of many soldiers. In this era, every child is a child I grew up watching his cartoons, and in the hearts of those old people who have experienced World War II, he is the best spokesperson for the American spirit.

Once we get Steve back, we will have a banner that can truly unite the spirit of the people. Steve will be the voice of a better order, he will be the vanguard of order, and he will lead our Avengers Win battle after battle, defeat enemy after enemy

Having said that, Pierce glanced at Merlin and said:

As far as I know, Merlin, you are also one of Steve's admirers?

Uh, not really.

Merlin replied:

I just think that in that cruel era, people who can do so many careers are worthy of recognition and respect. I just have a better relationship with Ms. Carter, so I am also very interested in that Captain America.

I'm leaving now to find Steve!

Agent Damm, who was always calm, stood up, and he said to Fury and Pierce:

He has been waiting for our rescue for 67 years, and I can't let him wait any longer!

Dugan! Calm down!

Fury said in a deep voice:

This map was brought out by Merlin from the a.i.m base, which means that those mad scientists may have already taken action in Greenland! If you rush over like this, it will only make them wary.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. frowned, and said:

Merlin, you go with Agent Dugan. I will ask Natasha and Barton to assist you. Whoever you think will be helpful to the mission can be seconded to join your team. This time we are all elites with only one purpose.

Bring back our hero, Steve Rogers, intact!

Um

Merlin and Dugan nodded at the same time, but soon, Merlin asked a question.

He looked at the faces of the others, and said:

One question, I find that people never seem to imagine the worst-case scenario, I mean, what if instead of a sleeping person we find there a body that's been frozen for decades?

I know it's a bit of a shock, but we have to prepare for the worst, don't we?

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Fury said:

Indeed, we have to take this into consideration. Although, according to the description of the super soldier serum in our hands, Steve should be able to survive the extreme cold for so long, but in case things change unexpectedly

Bring him back!

Pierce shook his head, and he said decisively:

Live to see people! Die to see corpses!

If Steve dies no! Steve will die, that's right, but Captain America won't die!

We must have a Captain America to lead the Avengers! There must be one!

Coulson, are you asleep?

Leaving Fury's safe house, Merlin returned to his home, first he quietly went to see his sisters, they were all fast asleep.

Merlin walked up to the second floor, relying on Su Rui who was already resting here, he returned to his bedroom, picked up his mobile phone, and called Coulson who was far away in Philadelphia.

On the other end of the phone, Coulson's voice was obviously sleepy:

What's the matter, sir.

It's a good thing.

Merlin chuckled and said:

I remember you told me that you admired Captain America Steve Rogers since you were a child?

yes.

Coulson said vaguely, with strong sleepiness:

I also collected a whole set of his cards, which are real antiques, but do you think this has any special meaning, sir.

very good.

Merlin answered a non-questioning question. He took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said to Coulson:

I'll give you three hours to pack up and then come meet us in New York and we're going to Greenland to find someone who's been missing for 67 years.

Coulson didn't react at this time, he asked:

Who are you looking for?

But in the next moment, there was no need for Merlin to answer him, the obvious reminder of '67 completely dissipated Coulson's drowsiness in an instant.

A true fan is absolutely keen on matters related to idols.

Is it Steve Rogers? Have you found him?

Coulson's voice raised several degrees, and Merlin said calmly:

It's us! We're going to look for him, and we already have detailed information. If there are no accidents, by this time tomorrow, you will be able to escort your idol all the way back to his hometown.

This is great!

There was a cheer from the other end of the phone, and a woman's sharp cry, which made Merlin narrow his eyes suddenly, and he asked:

Is there a woman beside you? Who is it? Miss Audrey?

Well, I won't say much, sir, I'll be back soon.

Coulson hastily hung up the phone.

Merlin shook his head. He walked to the window and gazed at the night. Ever since he got the news from Steve Rogers, Merlin had always had a vague feeling. : :

The return of Captain America, who has been missing for 67 years, coupled with the emergence of more and more superhumans in recent times, seems to mean that a new era is about to begin.

but

Was that era good or bad?
