Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the evening, Merlin drove Peter and May back home in his sleek black Raptor pickup that looked like a small tank.

At the door of the apartment, Merlin lowered the car window and waved goodbye to little Peter. He said to his nephew:

Be obedient and go to school well, you know? I'll come see you next week.

Uh-huh.

Holding a big robot toy that his uncle bought, Peter obediently waved to Merlin, and he shouted:

Goodbye, Uncle! Goodbye, Sister Ruiwen, Goodbye, Sister Lorna! And Daisy and Matt, goodbye!

Watching Mei and Peter walking back to the apartment, Merlin heaved a sigh of relief. Under the light of the street lamps, this cool car started with the low roar of the engine, and drove the family to his home.

Matt, has Ava been to you lately?

Merlin asked while pretending to turn the steering wheel himself.

In the back seat, Matt, who was wearing sunglasses and had been silent all this time, shook his head. He said to Merlin:

No, but Ava called me last week. She said that she was being treated and she might recover in a while, and then she would come to the school directly to see me.

Ah That's good.

Merlin nodded and said:

Don't forget to bring her home to have a meal. Also, when I went to the parent meeting last time, the little fat guy in the same dormitory as you, your only friend since childhood, can also be invited together .”

Forget it, Merlin.

Matt held his guide stick, and he said softly:

I'm afraid that Fuji will be frightened. Gugu and Frank at home are almost like monsters to ordinary people.

Well, it's up to you.

Merlin glanced at Matt in the rearview mirror, and he said:

I also heard from Lorna that you're going to apply for Columbia University's law school? Do you need my help to clear up the relationship?

No, no need.

Matt is a good boy, because he has experienced many reasons since he was a child. He is very independent and more mature than the average peers. He said to Merlin:

My grades are good enough.

Okay, just call me if you need anything.

Merlin pushed his glasses, he looked at the drowsy Lorna sitting in the co-pilot again, and said:

Lorna, I heard from Lan that you made new friends?

Um?

Lorna was awakened, she looked up at Merlin, then pouted:

Lan is really annoying, she will tell you everything. Well, I made a new friend, that is, the red-haired big sister Wanda, she left me a phone number, we will chat these days and so on .”

What did you talk about?

Merlin asked like a competent brother:

Did Wanda invite you to play in England?

Yes, Wanda said that she has a house in Glasgow and invited me to live there for a few days.

Lorna played with her fingers and replied in an unhappy tone:

But I refused because neither Raven nor Lan would let me go.

They care about you too, silly girl.

Merlin patted Lorna's hair and said:

After a while, when I am free, I will take you to the UK. Maybe our family can take time to travel. I have a few children in the UK. They are all married and start businesses now. Maybe we should find time to visit They haven't been in touch for many years.

Merlin didn't speak again. In the rearview mirror, he saw that Daisy in the back seat had fallen asleep leaning against Ruiwen, and he wanted to send Daisy back to the Johnsons first.

Daisy's father, Dr. Johnson, has been in poor health in recent years. The man's front body has been displaced and he has experienced the most tragic things in the world. He may be called by his God in a few years.

However, the last period of life can be spent with the company of family members, and this ending is not too bad.

An hour later, Merlin settled the children in the family, and then came to the mysterious house.

Xuanlan was waiting for him as usual.

The Black Bat King and his wife took Miss Crystal and left.

The housekeeper said to Merlin:

They seem to have made a deal with Whiplash that maybe the crystals will be healed, just in a few days.

Well, it seems that the couple convinced Andrew and Melinda, which is good.

Merlin walked to the fireplace, he sat on the sofa, and said to Xuan Lan:

Turn on the magic defense of the mysterious house, I want to chat with the God of Fear in Skadi Warhammer.

Um.

Xuanlan took a step back, and quickly walked into the magic control center of the mysterious house. After a while, several special defensive magic circles were activated, and this house located in the chaotic dimension penetrated into this mysterious latitude little by little. deeper.

After everything was ready, Merlin took out the Skadi Warhammer from his pocket.

He put the golden warhammer engraved with Asgardian runes on the table, probably because it had been activated, the surface of the warhammer was constantly beating with purple arcs, making it look full of an extraordinary Unusual temperament.

Merlin looked at the war hammer in front of him. He stretched out his finger and touched the surface of the war hammer.

Aren't you going to say something, Mr. Kool.

Merlin said to the wisp of will hidden deep in the Skadi Warhammer at the spiritual level:

Asgard God Realm is about to send a search officer, I think she is here for you, although we have cooperated very happily in the past few times, but you see, I am just an ordinary earthling, I can't fight against the The power of Asgard, so if they lock on me, maybe I will just hand over this warhammer cleanly.

Then you will die too!

That gloomy, old man's weak voice rose in Merlin's mind.

Along with that voice, there were countless phantoms of fear. A strange power echoed in Merlin's body, constantly arousing the most feared thing in his heart.

Sannomiya

When the figure of the Sangong Demon reverberated in Merlin's mind, the magic power of the Sangong in his body also began to surge, violently expelling this weak fear power from Merlin's body.

But Merlin wasn't angry.

He was quite calm, and he said to Kul, the god of fear:

I'm not necessarily going to die, Your Excellency Kool.

Before I came into contact with you, I also had some friendship with some important people in Asgard, and the last time I used you was to expel the alien evil gods who invaded the earth. This is a righteous move. I mean, if I use If it's related, maybe I can escape unharmed?

But you, huh, after this warhammer is taken back to the Asgard domain, I think you may never turn around again.

Kur's will didn't answer.

Merlin was also very patient. He leaned on the sofa, took out the finger of death magic book and flipped through it. Although he had already mastered this magic, the deeper his understanding of knowledge, the more skillful he would be at using the finger of death .

This is the same as playing games. The higher the proficiency, the less mana and energy is consumed when releasing magic. Of course, this consumption will not be reduced indefinitely.

A few minutes later, the purple arc on the surface of Skadi's warhammer jumped more and more violently, and Kuhl's voice sounded again, this time it was very gentle, at least much gentler than before.

You didn't have to tell me about this. You could have handed the original sin hammer directly to the Asgard investigators, but you didn't. So, this matter, can we talk about it?

Of course, we can talk about it.

Merlin flipped through the magic book and said:

I am a wizard, and I know that power itself is not good or evil, so I chase after all the power that can be used. But with all due respect, Mr. Kur, with the power you lent me before, it is really difficult for me Help you with your work.

You are too greedy!

Kool said:

You contained three pieces of evil divine power in your body at one time, and tried to control them for your use. You are probably the craziest mortal I have ever seen.

crazy?

Merlin sneered:

It looks like you haven't met another friend of mine, but since he's gone, it's kind of boring to talk about. Let's be more frank, Mr. Cool.

The power of the ternary system is very useful.

Merlin's fingers danced on the warhammer, letting the purple arc of light wrap around his fingers, he said:

I hope to retain this power, and if possible, I hope to get a little more. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?

Open my seal, in the deepest trench in this world, guarded by a group of wild beasts

There was a hint of urgency in Kuer's tone:

Open it before the investigators from Asgard arrive!

No, I refuse.

Merlin closed the magic book in his hand, and he said to Kur:

First, I don't know who you are. Second, I don't know what you want to do. Finally, if even the Asgardians treat you with such caution, then I think I have reason to be more cautious.

So, change your request.

You have no sincerity!

Kool growled:

You're just blackmailing me with the Skadi Hammer

Threatening? Don't speak so harshly, Mr. Kuhl.

Merlin said solemnly:

It's me who holds the original sin war hammer. I have some special powers that can resist your manipulation and interference with my will. If an ordinary person who doesn't know the so-called got this war hammer, I'm afraid he would have become your servant and mine. It means that you were the one who tried to 'brainwash' me first, you were the one who showed malice first, I was just lucky enough to catch your weakness.

So don't act like I'm bullying a widowed old man. We're just willing to admit defeat. Mr. Kuhl, it was you who made a regrettable decision when we first met. You put yourself placed in this embarrassing situation.

Merlin says:

You should have a clear understanding of your current situation. I don't intend to say any more threatening words. It will make us look very unseemly. So, change your request. We can exchange at the same value.

Okay! Then hide this warhammer.

Kur hesitated for a few minutes, it seemed calmer, and it said to Merlin:

You haven't really been endowed with the godhead of fear, so as long as you don't take out the Skadi Warhammer in front of those Asgardians, they won't be able to find you. At most, they will strengthen my seal again, but it doesn't matter , as long as the Skadi warhammer is still there, my consciousness can be transmitted through this warhammer.

Then, you bastard, 10 years, I allow you to hold this warhammer for 10 years, after 10 years, I want you to find another owner for this warhammer

Kool said:

You coward don't want to help me avenge Odin, the god-king of Asgard. It doesn't matter. I can wait. There will always be someone willing to help me.

I know that you are the defender of this world, and I have no intention of meddling in your world. You see, there is only one object of my revenge, and that is Odin! That is my younger brother who is like a kinslayer.

Sounds great.

Merlin rubbed his chin, he said to Kur:

But it's two requirements

So when you need it, I will give you two powers!

The Fear Serpent seemed disgusted with the insatiable Merlin, saying:

Of course if you want more

Why do you all like to play this tune?

Merlin snorted:

If you want more, do you have to pay more? I am familiar with this drama, but I don't think I will need more. Your divine power, after all, is only one-third of the power of the three phases. If it is too much, it will be more Very troublesome.

Hehe, Merlin, you know, it's completely different from what you can do.

The big snake Kur said in a strange tone:

The temptation of power is endless. If you chase it, you will eventually drown in it. I have seen too many people like this.

Well, you old man, it sounds like a story.

Merlin's fingers touched the handle of Skadi's war hammer, and between his fingers, a streak of purple lightning was also dancing. He said:

Since we have signed the contract now, Mr. Kuhl, you see, tonight is still a long time, why don't you share your story with me.

You said that Odin is your younger brother. You should have told me that you were originally the king of Asgard's domain of gods. That proves that Odin is a usurper? Why did he do this? And why did you fail? Woolen cloth?

Merlin says:

Let's talk about it. I know that it must be very lonely for a person to be trapped in a dark place for thousands of years, so I think you will want to share this story with others. It must be a legendary story.

After a few minutes of dead silence, just when Merlin thought that Kur rejected his request, the voice of the fearful big snake suddenly sounded:

Well, if you want to hear it.

Of course, I'm all ears.

Merlin waved his hand, and soon a ghost servant brought snacks and drinks. He leaned on the sofa and waved Skadi Warhammer. He said:

Then go ahead, I'm listening to your story.
