Shadow of the Beautiful World

your eyes

In Fury's office, Merlin frowned and stared at the director in front of him.

Fury was scratched on his left eye because he was teasing the orange cat. Only a few people in S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about it. Fury unanimously claimed that his left eye was lost in battle.

Even though he was wearing a black eye patch, the scars on Fury's eyes still couldn't be concealed. The scratched scars looked very hideous, running through Fury's upper and lower eyelids and eye sockets, making anyone who looked at it feel terrified.

Merlin has also seen Fury without the blindfold.

His left eye was infected by something carried on Gugu's paw, which caused a haze similar to a cataract in the eyeball, but this eye was actually intact, and his vision was not affected.

Before Carol left, he told Merlin that Fury might have other abilities because of Gu Gu's claw.

But after so many years, Fury has maintained his ordinary persona until tonight, when this persona collapsed.

At this time, in Frenner's left eye, in the center of the pale eyeball, a mass of black light was lingering and dancing. It was not a fixed, dot-shaped light, but more like a force that rotated irregularly in the eyeball.

After staring into Fury's eyes for several seconds, Merlin felt as if his will was facing a strange vortex.

The light in his eyes seemed to absorb all of Merlin's thoughts.

The self-contained spiritual temptation, as well as the guidance of will and thinking, are like the natural temptation of those adult succubi. It is really amazing to be able to maintain the use of language induction without additional activation.

Merlin said softly:

Just like your people, you are so annoying even for your abilities, Fury.

Let's be each other.

Fury cheerfully put his blindfold back on. He leaned back on the chair, picked up a book on psychology from his hand, read it, and said to Merlin:

I don't know if this is good or bad, but with this thing, it always feels a lot smoother when chatting with other people.

Hehe, maybe I should call you 'The Persuader' from now on?

Merlin chuckled, stood up, and said to Fury:

One more thing, I don't know if Hill has passed on my words to you, Fury, about your very dishonest student Amanda Waller.

You mean the Tianyanhui?

Fury said without looking up:

Amanda is just the commander of the Sky Eye Society. Merlin, the real leader of that organization has a lot of background. His name is Trevor, a former combat hero, and he maintains a mysterious connection with a mysterious figure. Trevor is a A rare immortal, Merlin, he has been active since the First World War, until now.

He once fought side by side with Steve Rogers. In fact, until now, we don't know why Mr. Trevor can live for so long and still have so much energy. But one thing is certain, That shouldn’t be the power of technology.”

You mean, the leader of the Sky Eye Society is actually a mysterious figure on the magic side?

Merlin moved his fingers, and he said:

Sounds tricky, but Fury, they are meddling in our work, Amanda Waller is like a wild boar rushing through the farm, if she doesn't control, she will put us up with difficulty All the fences are broken, I mean, you can talk to her first, try to persuade her.

Merlin's tone became cold:

If she doesn't listen to the advice, I'll try again.

Merlin!

Fury said with emphasis:

Amanda is a public official

I know.

Merlin turned and walked towards the door. Without looking back, he said to Fury:

That's why I sincerely ask you to talk to her about this order. The heterogeneous new order on the land of North America was established by us overcoming obstacles. So many soldiers died in this cause, so much blood, so many deaths.

Right now, someone I don't know just pops up and plans to pick the fruit

Is it really that easy?

—

After finishing talking with Fury, Merlin returned home. It was early morning, and he was a little tired.

He took a shower, changed into a set of black pajamas, and planned to take a good night's sleep before dawn, but as soon as he lay on the bed, Merlin was awakened.

The voice of Xuan Lan, the steward of the mysterious house, sounded in Merlin's mind:

Master Merlin, Miss Zatanna is here to return the things she took away.

oh.

Merlin sat up from the bed, took out the key to the mysterious room, walked to the door, turned the lock, and stepped into the mysterious room.

Zatanna was already waiting for her in the living room.

She was still dressed as a magician, with a well-tailored black and white tuxedo, bold and seductive black fishnet stockings, and a pair of high boots, which perfectly set off the tall figure of this magical girl.

Hello, Mr. Raven.

Seeing Merlin walk into the living room, Zatana immediately stood up and leaned slightly towards Merlin.

Seen from the collar, the dazzling white thing made Merlin look elsewhere again.

Maybe, it's time to remind Miss Zatanna to pay attention to her grooming.

she is a wizard after all

Well, hello to you too, Miss Magician.

Merlin waved his hand, indicating that she needn't be so polite. He walked to the fireplace and sat on the sofa. Xuanlan handed over a cup of moderately hot tea at the right time. Merlin took a sip of the tea and said:

Is it going well recently? Zatanna, did that page help?

Well, it helped me a lot.

Zatana took out the rolled parchment from the handbag she was carrying, and handed it back to Merlin. She said:

It is indeed a dark book that claims to collect all the knowledge in the stars. It can perfectly answer every question I have about the field of mysticism, except for those occasional weird conditions that make people feel confused and embarrassing.

Having said that, Zatana carefully peeked at Merlin, and found that Mr. Raven didn't notice anything, which made Zatana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I'll put it in the mystery room.

Merlin took the rolled parchment, and he stroked the pages of the Dark God Book that had been away from him for a month. He said to Zatana:

Your knowledge of mysticism is very solid, and your talent is also extremely high. Maybe soon, I won't be able to teach you any more. If you have any other questions about knowledge, you can always come to the mystery room and seek help from the Dark God Book.

He turned his head to look at Xuanlan, and said to the butler:

I remember that the mystery house can be marked for visitors, right? Lan.

Um

Standing beside Merlin, the meticulous housekeeper nodded, and said to Merlin reservedly:

I can mark the guests approved by the master. When they need it, the guests only need to find a door and get the master's permission to enter the mysterious room. Of course, the process of opening the door requires the guests to pay their own magic power. Establishing a connection with the mystery house requires a lot of magic power, but Miss Zatanna's magic power should be enough, and her blood is also connected to the mystery house, so she can easily enter here.

good.

Merlin nodded and said:

Then mark Miss Zatanna.

He said:

This was her home after all.

It's such an honor, Mr. Raven.

Zatana stood up in surprise, and thanked Merlin very earnestly. She bowed towards Merlin, but this time, the scenery of her chest was almost presented in front of Merlin's eyes, and Merlin could even see the black lace breasts. Clothes, but also smell a scent of violets.

This made him a little embarrassed.

If there is nothing else, I will go first.

Merlin coughed lightly, and he said to Zatanna:

I still have a few experiments to complete, we will contact you next time, Miss Zatanna.

Wait, Mr. Raven.

Seeing that Merlin was about to leave, Zatana was a little anxious. She still had two tasks to be alone with Merlin.

She subconsciously grabbed Merlin's wrist, which made Merlin look back at her.

Uh, I mean

Miss Magician immediately let go of her hand, she said to Merlin a little embarrassed:

The five magical objects promised to you last time are ready.

she says:

But those things are not easy to carry, so I put them in the family collection, can you come with me to my estate and bring it back? Come and see it in my laboratory, I recently collected a whole set The old seal, and some mystic summoning arrays drawn by myself, I don’t know if those things are correct.”

Don't go!

Just as Zatana's request was finished, another voice suddenly sounded in Merlin's mind.

It's Raven.

Ruiwen, who is far away at Xavier Academy for Gifted Boys.

There was a hint of exasperation in Merlin's sister's tone, she screamed at Merlin:

You drove Elsa away! You bastard, you still have a meeting with the little demon while we are not at home! Merlin, you are really too presumptuous!

I didn't drive Riven Elsa away.

Merlin explained somewhat disappointedly:

She left by herself, alas, you are still young, you don't understand these things.

It's not allowed to go anyway!

Raven says:

I don't want those five strange things! You stay at home obediently! Before Elsa comes back, I will keep an eye on you!

All right.

Merlin replied:

But it's a pity to give up the reward just like that. I'll let Xuanlan pick it up. Is it okay?

Hmph, that's about the same.

Ruiwen's tired business slowly calmed down in Merlin's mind. He raised his head and said to Zatana apologetically:

Forget it tonight, I have some things to deal with.

He said to the housekeeper beside him:

Lan, can you help me go to Miss Zatanna's manor to get those strange things?

Well, of course.

Xuan Lan said calmly:

The master's needs are my duty.

Merlin waved goodbye to the disappointed Ms. Magician, and then went back to her bedroom. At the moment when the door of the mysterious room was closed, Xuanlan, who had watched her master leave, turned her head. She looked at Zatanna, and a few seconds later , she suddenly said:

what you up to?

Um?

Zatana replied subconsciously:

I don't want to do anything, I just

No, you have a purpose!

Xuan Lan interrupted Miss Magician's explanation, she said calmly:

Even if I don't rely on the perception of the mysterious house, I can see a sense of disappointment in your expression. Zatanna, you have some other thoughts about Master Merlin. Well, it may not be your own will, but there is no doubt that you are Why are you trying to get closer to him?

Because of some unspoken secrets.

Miss Magician glanced at the parchment that Merlin placed on the wooden shelf in front of the shelter, she bit her lip, and said to Xuan Lan:

But I have absolutely no malice.

You are doing a dangerous thing, Zatana Zatara.

Probably because of Zatanna's ancestor Leonardo da Vinci, Xuanlan's unexpected tolerance for this magical girl meant that the elders looked at the younger generation. Tanna says:

No, you're doing a lot of dangerous things.

You are chasing a spirit that can easily destroy the world, you are trying to rescue your father from the most dangerous place in the multiverse, and now, you are still trying to enter the life of Master Merlin

With a hint of warning, Xuanlan said to Zatanna:

You know why I put those three things together?

Because their danger levels are similar, don't underestimate Master Merlin, Zatana, the secrets behind him are beyond your imagination.

Then how do you know?

Zatana asked with a puzzled face:

You're just the spirit of the mystery house, you can't even beat me.

Yes, I am weak.

Xuanlan waved her hand indifferently and said:

But don't forget, I am also a 'spirit'. In the field of mysticism, I can see and perceive the symbolic meanings that you flesh and blood creatures cannot perceive.

Everything in the world has its special symbol, which represents the reflection of their actual existence in the mysterious field, such as the sister of Master Merlin, the dangerous daughter of hell, Ruiwen, her symbol is the arrogant black raven, and You, Miss Zatanna, your symbol is the violet flower, which represents mystery and knowledge, which is the inheritance from your blood.

Xuan Lan glanced back at the closed door, she said softly:

But Master Merlin is special

He has no fixed symbol.

Or, with my ability, I can't see his symbol at all. I can only feel that with the passage of time, his symbol is constantly changing, just like

A rolling dice, every time it falls, Master Merlin's fate will be deflected.

She looked at Zatanna, and she said very seriously:

I'm meddling for the sake of your ancestors, Miss Zatanna, stop your approach to Master Merlin, you are like an ignorant moth, heading towards what will burn you, A flight of flames that will consume you.

Is it really that serious?

Zatanna's face was a little pale, she was frightened by Xuanlan's statement.

This is normal, what Xuanlan said is enough to frighten anyone who has a little research in the field of occultism.

certainly.

Xuan Lan nodded, she said calmly:

Get out as soon as you can.

After receiving Xuanlan's affirmative answer, Zatanna's voice trembled a little. She looked at the closed contract locks on her elbows and said with a face full of despair:

Your suggestion is very good, Black Orchid. But I, I, I can't turn back.
