Shadow of the Beautiful World

Andrew Garner, Merlin knew him, and he was quite familiar. Because he is also theoretically one of the employees of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is currently employed by s.d.o.l.d. as an external psychologist. He will lead a very professional team every quarter to conduct psychological counseling and evaluation for all field agents of s.d.o.l.d.

Once Dr. Andrew believes that a field agent is no longer suitable for field work due to various reasons, the agent will passively enter the observation period. After confirming that there are psychological problems, he or she will be transferred to civilian work .

It's a powerful job, and it's important, but Merlin has always trusted Dr. Andrew.

On the one hand, this doctor is really professional and conscientious.

On the other hand, it is also because of his status... quite special.

He is the husband of S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 Agent Commander Melinda May.

And Melinda is the veteran agent of s.d.o.l.d., and one of the Three Generals who followed Merlin to form s.d.o.l.d. from scratch.

In the current S.H.I.E.L.D. management system for supernatural affairs, Melinda is a very important node. As the leader who directly manages s.d.o.l.d.'s 12 branches currently distributed in North America, her importance is self-evident.

She is Merlin's most trusted and assured subordinate. For this reason, Dr. Andrew Garner was also put on the protection list of SHIELD.

I can only introduce him for you.

In the office of the Trident Building, Merlin said to Medusa and Black Bolt who put on long skirts and suits:

I will not get involved in this matter too much, because Dr. Andrew's identity is relatively sensitive, I must stay away from this matter. I can understand your desire to save your relatives, but I will not allow you to forcibly transform him into a different person. people.

What I mean is, no matter what your Excellency Andrew's choice is, you can't force him!

Merlin looked at Medusa and Black Bat King, he stretched out a finger and said with a serious expression:

Attention, this is not a request!

I can understand.

Queen Medusa glanced at her husband, she solemnly replied to Merlin:

We promise in the name of the Inhuman Dynasty that we will never make any coercive actions.

Ah, very good.

Merlin stretched out his hand and pressed the phone on the table, he said:

Sharon, Melinda and her husband can come in.

A moment later, the door of Merlin's office was pushed open. Agent Melinda, who maintained her usual indifferent expression, nodded slightly to Merlin, and then looked back at the other two people in the office.

Melinda is an excellent and powerful witcher, and she can sense the power of these two people in front of her.

They are not ordinary people, nor are they aliens, but they are much more dangerous than most aliens.

Dr. Andrew Garner followed behind his wife, and he extended his hand to Merlin in a friendly manner. This doctor is a real senior intellectual, a real social elite, and he treats everyone with a polite gesture.

Well, it's really not the same as his black compatriots at the bottom of society.

Merlin likes dealing with such polite people, he stood up, held Dr. Andrew's extended hand, and said:

In the past, I would assign tasks to Melinda, but today's situation is special...I mean, what happened today is mainly about you, Dr. Andrew.

Um?

The doctor of psychology looked at his wife in surprise, and said to Merlin in a gentle tone:

Judging from your expression, Director Merlin, I guess it's not a good thing?

Well, it depends on how you understand it.

Merlin shrugged, he gave Melinda a reassuring look, and then said to Andrew:

The last time I went to your wedding, I remember you complaining to me that husbands should protect their wives instead of wives protecting their husbands... I mean, if you make a choice, then you There is also the power to protect Melinda.

Merlin pointed to the two people standing by the sofa, and he said:

These two are His Majesty the Inhuman King Blackcard Burtgan from Attilan, and Queen Medusalis Amacqueline Portagan. They are here for you.

Strange person?

Before Andrew could speak, Melinda's expression suddenly changed.

Unlike Andrew, as a senior agent, she was very aware of the relationship between aliens and humans, and she almost immediately understood why Merlin summoned her and her husband.

no!

Melinda slapped the director's desk, protecting her husband behind her back, and said to Merlin fiercely:

I disagree!

Melinda, listen to them first, it's polite.

Although Dr. Andrew didn't understand what happened, he didn't want to see his wife having a conflict with her boss. He put his hand on his wife's shoulder and softly mediated:

I'm sure Director Merlin won't force me to do anything.

right.

Merlin said to his subordinates:

Don't worry, Melinda, I can assure you that the choice will always be in Andrew's hands.

I'll answer for him!

Melinda was very strong, and said without giving an inch:

Just disagree!

All right.

Merlin shrugged, he took out his pocket watch to check the time, and then said to the four people in the office:

Now the time is up to you, I will not interfere in the next thing, I also hope that the two of you can abide by our agreement, and, I don't want to see a building shattered by sound waves when I come back...

After finishing speaking, he patted Melinda's shoulder behind him, and he whispered:

This is about saving an innocent little girl...Melinda, your husband has the ability to save her. Of course, this is just a choice. As I said, the choice is always in Andrew's hands. If he doesn't want to Take a risk, I can assure you, it will be the same as before, and no one will disturb your life.

You shouldn't have let us come here!

Melinda glanced at her boss, she complained:

You should reject them directly!

But you know your husband's character better than I do. He is a really good man, a kind man.

Merlin says:

If one day he knows that he has a chance to save a life that is about to die, but you or I stop him without his knowledge... What do you think the result will be? After all, is there a relationship between a husband and wife? There should be something to hide.

Melinda's expression became silent, and Melin persuaded softly:

What's more, you have also seen the statistics of the frequency of supernatural events. You should also know that no matter how hard we try to prevent it, that bad era will always come.

In that coming era, having the power to protect yourself and your loved ones...maybe not a bad thing. Andrew is already luckier than most people, at least in the face of possible horrible disasters. able to fight it.”

Believe me, Melinda, this might be a good thing...

swish

A conversation was still going on in Merlin's office, but the owner of the office had already come to another place.

A place thousands of miles away.

An old friend was there waiting for him when he emerged from the distorted light of the Apparating Charm.

Still wearing a white hunting suit, brown breeches and orange boots, the white-haired female swordsman Ciriya with a long sword on her back looks like she has been waiting for a while, and she is so bored that she is standing on the edge of the sea cliff with a wooden stick fishing.

Has anyone ever told you that you have a really nice figure and maybe you should change into a more feminine outfit?

Merlin walked up to Siria, and he said:

Like a dress or something.

oh?

With a scar on her face, the cool-looking Shiriya said with a blank expression:

So you're teasing me? Are you impatient?

No, no, it's just a compliment.

Merlin says:

Admiration is a virtue that is necessary for a good woman...not to mention, it doesn't cost money.

If Elsa hears you, you will die.

Cilia showed a strange smile:

But... let's just call it a compliment.

She threw away the fishing rod in her hand, and in the beating of the white light, she appeared more than ten meters away from Merlin, then reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind her, she hooked her fingers at Merlin:

Let's play a game!

Why?

Merlin said in surprise:

I didn't provoke you, did I?

No, no, I just saw that you defeated those three aliens and Black Bolt King alone, so I think you may have grown to the point where you can become my opponent.

Xilia slowly drew out the long sword behind her back, and she said:

And Elsa asked me one thing, some thin-skinned man is too embarrassed to ask me for help... You want to collect metal onium buried deep in the crust of those dead worlds, right?

right.

Merlin nodded.

Then play with me.

Cilia moved her wrist, and a white light danced on her blade. It was the power of the blood of the elders in Xilia's body, manipulating space, tearing space, and it was the most superior power among all the innate powers in the stars one of the elements.

Compared with Cilia, Merlin's so-called talent is not worth mentioning at all.

Do you really want to fight?

Merlin moved his fingers, and in the beating of the purple lightning, the golden Skadi Warhammer floated out of Merlin's palm, and the black symbiont on his body also covered him while wriggling, and the power of the Sangong Demon also being awakened.

ternary...

It seems that Merlin is very aware of the gap between him and Xilia, and will use the bottom-of-the-box tactics from the very beginning.

Really want to fight!

Shiriya moved her wrist, and the light on the blade kept cutting the space. She reached out and brushed a strand of white hair on her forehead. She stared at Merlin with her green eyes, and said frivolously:

You can't beat me, that's for sure, but hold on longer, you thin-skinned man, if you let me enjoy myself, my sister will give you some rewards...

All right.

Merlin held the Skadi Warhammer, and in the beating of the purple lightning, he entered the trinary form again.

A tall armed demon appeared in front of the doll-like Siriya, and Merlin spewed flames from his nostrils. He, who was like a demon god, said to Siriya in a low voice:

Say it first...don't slap your face...

Such a handsome appearance, but he said such cowardly words.

Xi Liya sneered, and in the beating of the white light arc, she pulled out hundreds of figures in the air, and swayed out a powerful sword dance.

You always impress me... Hold on, man, and let me have some fun with you!

Seven minutes later, Xi Liya returned the sword to its sheath. Her face was rosy, and she seemed to have enjoyed the previous battle.

Behind her, Merlin half-kneeling on the ground looked haggard, trying to appease the rioting power of the three palaces in his body, while at his feet, the miserable symbiote Beowulf didn't even have the strength to make a gurgling sound. there is none left.

It's like being completely drained.

Well, 7 minutes...

Cilia looked back at Merlin, folded her arms and said:

It's not bad, it's beyond my expectation, I thought you couldn't even last 3 minutes.

I am over-flattered.

Merlin angrily reached out and picked up the limp Beowulf, he said:

Also, as a girl, can you stop being so erotic... It's easy to be misunderstood.

hehe

Cilia made a mocking sound, but she didn't say anything, but reached out to Merlin:

What about the stuff? Give it to me. Next time you go to see Elsa, I will give you half a planet's metal onium, but I advise you, you'd better be careful and control the kind of strange thing that is close to the rule level , it's not that simple.

All right.

Merlin accepted the warning, and he put his hands in his pockets. The next moment, a large metal cabinet was placed next to the two of them. In that cabinet, the Black Stone was stored.

I still don't understand, what do you want this thing for?

Merlin says:

It's just the key to open a barren world...

Hehe, stupid!

With a flick of her finger on the metal cabinet, the cabinet disappeared. She flicked her white hair and said to Merlin:

This thing is more important than you think...I heard that your S.H.I.E.L.D. is also collecting some incomprehensible things? Do you call it 084 items?

right.

Merlin nodded.

Very well, this black stone that can open doors to different dimensions in the same time and space is an upgrade of item 084. This is also one of our daily tasks.

Cilia explained:

It may also be your future job. In short, you just need to understand that these things cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

Uh, fine.

Merlin didn't intend to ask more, he wasn't ready to get in touch with the mysterious organization behind Cilia, but before Xilia left, Merlin asked:

About that barren world...can you give me a key to go back and forth?

Um?

Cilia looked at Merlin suspiciously, and she asked:

What do you want that thing for? You took out the metal onium in that world. Although Elsa used glaciers to bridge it, it is already very unstable and has no value.

No, it has.

Merlin flicked his fingers and said seriously:

Don't you think, for some super-powered villain...

Is that a perfect place of exile?
