Shadow of the Beautiful World

- \u003e -\u003e Found a possible breaking point of a difficult problem, which relieved Merlin's slightly tense mood, but it did not mean that his busy life could be suspended.

There are still many things waiting for him to do.

After lunch, a black fighter plane that used light refraction technology to hide its figure roared out of New York, heading north at a speed of more than Mach 10.

Horus, set the target point at the Arctic Glacier A-15 excavation site.

Merlin leaned on the Horus cockpit that transformed into a Kerry shuttle. This cockpit was full of a sense of future technology, but it was a pity that it was incompatible with a magical side character like Merlin.

At this time, he was holding a dark magic book with a moving eye-like magic pattern on the cover. While carefully studying the magic book sent by Liana, he Asked:

How long will it take you to get there?

It takes 4 hours in cruise mode and 1.5 hours in combat readiness mode.

Mechanical Knight Horus replied:

But it will be a little bumpy.

Well, it's a little slow.

Merlin frowned and said:

I thought you'd be faster.

Sorry to disappoint you.

There was a trace of remorse in Horus' voice, and it replied:

After this trip is over, I will upgrade the modules immediately so that my speed can meet your expectations.

No, no need.

Merlin turned the pages of the book and said:

No need to apologize, I just said it casually.

Let's set it to 1.5 hours. After all, it spans a small half of the world. Moreover, the journey does not have to arrive at the destination quickly, and it is not unacceptable to slow down occasionally.

OK.

Horus replied, and the next moment, the smooth-flying strange-shaped fighter suddenly accelerated, and the originally stable fuselage began to tremble slightly, but it didn't affect Merlin.

It was as if he had put all his attention on the grimoire in his hand.

This focus is normal and necessary.

Because the grimoire sent by Liana is not simple. It records the second super-order magic that Merlin found, and it is also the super-order magic that the demon lord used when he was fighting Belacus.

Finger of death.

A super-level magic with a domineering name but a slightly inferior effect.

It can be seen from the result of Merlin's collision with Hogarth's ancient body and Bellacos' death finger before, the gold content of this cool magic is not as high as that of the ancient body.

This is also normal, after all, the ancient body was taught to Merlin by the supreme mage, and this finger of death grimoire was found by Liana from Bellacos' secret library.

The origins of the two are very different. It is said that every hell lord in hell will use this magic, but Merlin has never heard of which hell lord has mastered Hogarth's ancient body.

But how?

No matter how weak ultra-level magic is, it is also a means of ultra-level power. Merlin must be cautious when reading it, and the obscure knowledge that is recorded is not friendly.

And the finger of death, this thing just meets the requirements of the trump card that Merlin urgently needs at this stage.

After the end of the Cybertron War, Merlin deeply felt that his combat power needed to be improved. Therefore, the study of this grimoire is estimated to take up a lot of Merlin's next time.

The study time is always short and happy, 1.5 hours passed quickly, and at the moment when Horus slowly landed on an inaccessible glacier, Merlin also put away the grimoire in his hand, he Taking out his blood-red cane, looking at the small camp set up hundreds of meters away from the porthole in front of him, he said:

Okay, let's take a look at the origin of that spaceship buried in the glacier.

—

The structure of the glacier here is very stable. According to our engineers, it is difficult to destroy it even with concentrated shell explosions.

Sharon, wearing a miner's hat, led Merlin on the steps leading to the glacier. These steps were placed on a large metal frame built around the glacier's crack, which looked very stable.

But the fissure below the glacier is very deep, nearly 100 meters wide by visual inspection, like a hell entrance with a big mouth opening to swallow the ignorant.

And Sharon, who arrived here 2 days earlier, already has enough information, and she introduced the situation here in detail for Merlin:

Actually, if it wasn't for those Autobot spaceships that fell headlong on the glacier, and the terrifying impact force destroyed the stability of the glacier, I am afraid that the ship buried under the glacier would take a long time to be discovered.

Um.

Merlin nodded, and he looked down along the periphery of the glacier steps. In the depths of the black glacier beneath his feet, a silver-gray arc of light shone in the cold arctic sunlight.

This is the exposed part of the ship. Judging from the part that can be seen, the ship should be very large as a whole.

What about its parameters?

Merlin was leaning on a cane carved with skulls and eagle wings, like a leisurely backpacker, he asked:

Can you confirm the time this spaceship stayed here?

able.

Sharon said to Merlin in a familiar way:

According to our detection of the ice around the spacecraft, this ship should have crashed into the earth at least 18,000 years ago, or earlier, maybe when it landed here, there were no glaciers in the surrounding environment, because We found some fossilized samples of plant fibers on the lower deck of the spacecraft.

As for the parameters of this ship, sir, it's massive.

Sharon says:

The length is at least 12 kilometers, and the height is 5 kilometers. It looks like a weird half-cigar, and its weight, conservatively estimated, should be more than 200,000 tons. Oh, by the way, the metal elements that make up this spaceship are on Earth. No.

Although I probably have the answer, I still have to ask.

Merlin walked down the stairs and asked:

Is there any life activity in the spaceship?

this

A little bit of embarrassment appeared on Sharron's pretty face. She pushed her tea-red eyes and said to Merlin:

We don't know, sir.

have no idea?

Merlin said dissatisfied:

What kind of answer is that?

Because none of our existing tools can open the hatch of this alien spacecraft.

Sharon took Merlin to the bottom of the glacier that had been cleaned up. She pointed to the huge spaceship in front of her and said to Merlin:

Even the strongest diamond drill bit can't leave scratches on this spaceship. I also tried the Unlocking Charm, but it didn't work at all. And because of the impact of the Autobot spaceship, the structure inside the glacier has already appeared. cracked, so we couldn't brute force it either.

Oh I got it.

Merlin shook his head, looking at the worn tools at his feet, he said to Sharon:

I think I know what you are so anxious to ask me to come here. You treat me as a master key.

Yes.

Sharon showed a sly smile, and she said:

No door in the world can stop you, sir, can it?

The door, this is a symbol of boundaries. For agents, having boundaries is a disappointment.

Merlin took out the key of the mysterious house from his pocket, he stood by the hatch of the spaceship while jumping like a shadow, he waved to Sharon:

Come with me, Sharon, let's go and see what's hidden in this spaceship.

Of course, prepare for battle.

After finishing speaking, Merlin inserted the bronze key in his hand into the metal hatch lock in front of him. There was not even a lock on the high-tech spaceship hatch in front of him. What it had was just a triangular groove like a chip inserted. But the bronze key in Merlin's hand still melted into the groove in a way like quicksilver pouring down the ground.

Accompanied by the turning of Merlin's wrist, amidst the strange sound, this heavy alien spaceship, which had been sealed for an unknown amount of time, opened its entrance to him.

An indescribable smell rushed out of it, as if Merlin had opened a dusty ancient tomb for thousands of years, but fortunately, there was no toxin in these dusty smells.

swish

Merlin dodged and jumped into it, and Sharon, who held a long sword, also jumped into the spaceship with the officer. In her other hand, she was clasping the Golden Heron Potion, which is a potion specially used by demon hunters for detoxification.

Uh, there really doesn't seem to be anyone here.

The moment he entered the spaceship, Merlin's perception was shrouded in the giant spaceship, but no trace of life was sensed, which made Merlin a little disappointed.

Although he has seen too many aliens, he is still curious about the aliens that may be discovered by himself.

Don't let your guard down, come with me.

Merlin leaned on his cane and quickly walked along the dim cabin all the way deep into the spaceship. In the increasingly delicate perception of darkness, the complex, labyrinth-like internal structure of this spaceship no longer held any secrets for Merlin.

However, the monotonous and weird interior decoration of the spaceship caught his attention.

This seems to be an exploration ship, or an immigration ship. I have seen this style of cabin distribution in .b's information.

Merlin pushed his glasses, and he stroked the smooth and technological inner walls of the cabin. The metal feels weird and smooth, like steel eggshells.

wow

A mechanical hum sounded beside Merlin. He lowered his head and saw a thing like an intelligent operating platform flipped out of the smooth cabin and leaned against Merlin's hand. The light blue light was beating, as if It was waiting for Merlin to input instructions.

But the problem is that there are no buttons at all on this palm-sized platform, only a triangular slot, which is exactly the same as the lock of the spaceship hatch.

Back!

Merlin waved his hand, and he said to Sharon behind him:

There may be no living people on this ship, but the ship itself is still 'alive', there must be a system manipulating it

kuang

Before Merlin finished speaking, there was a loud sound of a sharp sword cutting through metal behind it. Merlin turned his head and saw a silver-gray metal robot cut from the center jumping at the feet of Sharon holding a red sharp blade. With blue arc sparks.

Well, the incision was smooth and cut in two. It seems that Sharon has not relaxed her sword practice recently.

It tried to sneak up on me.

Sharon shrugged and said to Merlin:

This is the instinctive reaction of a witcher.

All right.

Merlin didn't blame Sharon, as she said, an excellent witcher has a lightning-like movement to launch any crisis around him, which is the instinct formed by the muscle memory of fighting and training.

But the next moment, he looked at the dozens of metal owl-like defense robots rushing from all directions with some headaches. Judging from the red light shining on the heads of those robots, they probably didn't come with good intentions.

It would be great if we could activate the omnic mode at this time.

Merlin began to miss Icarus again. It would be much easier if the artificial intelligence was here. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problems with George's repair, and he has not been answered until now.

Fortunately, though, Merlin has alternatives.

Is Horus well?

Merlin said softly, and the next moment, Horus' slightly indifferent voice came from Merlin's communicator.

The database breakthrough progress is 67%, please hold on for a few more minutes.

All right.

Merlin nodded. In front of his eyes, those metal robots swarmed. Sharon took out the potion bottle from his belt and was about to start it, but was stopped by Merlin.

He reached out to hold Sharon's wrist, and the next moment, the shadow cloak enveloped the two of them.

The shadow cloak alone could not escape the detection of these alien robots, so Merlin put his finger on the shadow blade whip at his waist again.

The thick and cold shadow increased the shading power of the shadow cloak again. This time, the buzzing silver-gray robots completely lost their target. They patrolled the cabin blankly, until nearly a minute and a half later, accompanied by a crisp sound With the sound of electric current, the entire silent interior of the spaceship lit up.

The blue light illuminated the dark cabin, representing the completion of remote control of the spaceship by the mechanical life Horus.

Don't try to use weapons to solve everything you encounter.

Merlin said to the assistant behind him:

We are agents, not berserkers

While Merlin was imparting life experience to his subordinates, the red dots of the defense robot leaders also turned into a gentler blue. Merlin led Sharon out of the shadows. He quickly returned to his storage in an orderly manner.

Where did this ship come from?

Merlin looked at the manipulator without buttons, and asked:

What is the purpose of it coming to Earth?

According to the star map in the starship database, it comes from a place in the Milky Way called Krypton.

Horus quickly replied:

This is an exploration ship, Your Excellency Merlin. Its purpose is to find a planet with a specific environment, but unfortunately, during a solar storm eruption, this ship stayed on Earth forever, until now.

Krypton?

Merlin shook his head. He temporarily interrupted the communication with Horus, and then took out the mobile phone from his pocket. After a while, the call was connected, and Clark's lazy voice sounded on the phone:

Merlin, do you need my help?

You're taking a nap, aren't you? I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, but there is something very important.

Merlin looked at the starship cabin in front of him, and said softly:

You've helped me a lot, my friend, so I decided to give you a gift back. Now get acquainted, and then go to the ghost base, and someone will send you to meet me

Well, Clark, I've found what you've been looking for, and I've fulfilled my promise.

About your life experience, about your hometown, and the corpses of some of your ancestors, you may need to bury them.
