A thick and shining thunderbolt tore through the dark sky, completely illuminating the stormy ocean at this moment, as if it were day.The sea is never calm or gentle, and whenever you think you have conquered it, it will slap you like a.For example, the sea, which was calm during the day, is like being stirred by an invisible hand at night, and the angry waves roll and throw the heavy freighter off the surface of the sea and into the sea in a frenzy.Bruce, who tied himself to the cabin, vaguely recalled the scene of playing roller coasters as a child, and he was in a terrible situation at this time.To be honest, before this storm came, Bruce really didn't know that he was also seasick."
It's all my fault, I should have left here sooner."
Merlin was in a better position, and he lay at the entrance of the hold, listening to the sounds coming from above.In the darkness of his perception, he could hear the frightened cries of the crew, and the angry roar of the captain, as if something bad was already beginning to appear in the cabin.Merlin's face was ugly, although he didn't know if the appearance of this storm was accidental, but Merlin still subconsciously believed that it was the outbreak of bad luck that he had been suppressing that caused the ship to suffer the current crisis.He struggled to stand up straight in the frantically swaying cargo hold, and he looked back at the dizzy Bruce, gritting his teeth, stepping forward, and pushing the door open."
Bruce, take care of yourself."
Merlin shouted, "I'll go up there and have a look." ”Bruce.
Wayne saw Merlin rush out of the cargo hold, and he wanted to help, but his situation was just too bad at this point.With great difficulty, he untied the rope around his waist and held on to the bouncing wall of the ship as he moved all the way to the upper cabin.Merlin rushed down the galley into the dining room, and the closer he got to the deck, the more he felt the scorching breath in the supposedly cold storm.It was a flame burning, and a small fire broke out in the cabin due to a sudden failure of the machinery in the cabin while the ship was hit by a storm.The closer he got there, the more he could hear the scrambled shouts of the crew, as if a few unlucky ones were trapped in the fire."
Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Merlin couldn't hide himself anymore, and he wore sunglasses to push away the panicked crew.He covered his body with a cold shadow, picked up a fire extinguisher from the side, and ran towards the cabin in front of him, which was blocked by flames.The shadow of the shield would allow him to hold on to the flames a little longer.But even if he really encountered a fatal crisis, the dark energy in his body would not let him die like this."
Who's that madman!"
The first mate, who rushed to hear the news, grabbed a crew member and pointed to Merlin, who rushed into the fire, and shouted, "How come I have never seen him?"
”"Nobody knows, boss."
The crew member wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he shook his head frantically: "Maybe it's a stowaway...
But he's at least helping us now. ”Another wave struck, and the entire cargo ship was thrown up, leaving the seafarers untenable, staggering in the scorching cabin.One by one, their eyes widened as they looked at the burning cabin in front of them, and no matter how much they sensed the sudden appearance of Merlin, they could only pray that the guy who suddenly appeared could save their brother who was trapped in the fire.One minute, two minutes, until everyone was about to despair, the fat chef, who had always refused to give up, suddenly pointed to the dancing flames in front of him and shouted, "It's him!"
It's that young man!
”"He really did it!
Help!
”The crew members who were waiting by the fire stepped forward and pulled aside the panting Merlin and the guys he had dragged out of the fire.These unfortunate bastards were burned, but they weren't fatal, and if Merlin had gone ten minutes late, they might have been in even worse shape.Merlin lay on his side, he also had burn marks, but fortunately, he had no obvious injuries other than being tired."
I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you're doing on this ship."
The black first mate closed the hatch in front of him to stop the fire from spreading, and he stared down at Merlin, and said, "But perhaps now, all the people on this ship will thank you." ”Merlin didn't have the strength to answer him, he just wiped the black ash from his face and waved his hand.While the fire in the cabin was under control, Merlin looked out the window, and the storm that seemed to destroy everything seemed to have become a little smaller.The worst moment of this bad luck is finally over.Early the next morning, the sudden storm had completely stopped a few hours earlier, and the boats, which had almost lost power, could only float on the sea, finally waited for rescuers.Several ships from the port of mercy approached the cargo ship, and they had to get the crew to the port first, and then arrange for a tugboat to tow the damaged freighter back to the dock.At this time, in the captain's room, the old captain, who had been tired all night, stared at Merlin and Bruce in front of him sternly, he took a puff of cigarette, knocked on the table, and said, "Maybe I should hand you two over to the police, after all, you are stowaways, and you have stolen a lot of our food."
On top of that, I suspect you have other motives, after all, Stark Industries is often spied on by commercial spies sent by other peers...
But unfortunately, I have no evidence to prove it. ”"But we saved your crew, too."
Merlin, who had a hemostatic bandage on his face, looked at the captain and said, "So I think we're going to be even, right?"
”"Flat?"
The old captain squinted his eyes, and he said in a vicious tone: "Think beautifully!
”The tall old man stood up, his eyes staring at Merlin and Bruce with unkind eyes, and the aggressive look made the two young men take a step back.After a few minutes the old man sat down again, and he opened the drawer, took an envelope from it, and threw it to Merlin.Merlin took the envelope in his hand, looked down, and saw that the envelope contained a wad of money.He looked up at the old captain with some confusion, and the latter shrugged at him: "Now, we're even." ”"This is a 'gift' from the crew, after all, you saved their lives, and I should actually thank you."
The old man picked up another cigarette and, after lighting it leisurely, said to Merlin and Bruce, "Stark Industries' internal affairs are complicated, and one of the boundaries is casualties.If you hadn't saved those unlucky guys, I'd have been flying back to New York to be investigated...
Those damn XX bastards with a face weren't going to let me pass so easily, so, in theory, you saved my precarious career too. ”"Now, get out!
There is a ship waiting for you below.I'll just assume I didn't see you, and next time, don't let me see you two thieves stealing again. ”Merlin and Bruce looked at each other, and Merlin threw the envelope to Bruce, yawned himself, and turned to leave the cabin.Bruce took out a piece of money from the envelope and placed it on the old captain's table, and the blue-eyed young man said to the unknown old captain, "This is the wine money, thank you for your hospitality these days." ”"As a reminder, don't buy alcohol at that store next time.Those 'precious' whiskeys in your wine cabinet...
It's all fake. ”——————————————————— "Uh, the wine here tastes weird. ”On the docks of Port Mercy, Bruce and Merlin walked together.Merlin took a sip of the wine he had just bought, and said to Bruce with an uncomfortable expression, "It's like the juice of the night." ”"It's okay."
Bruce didn't care, he felt the oncoming sea breeze, and said to Merlin, "Enjoy it, we bought it at our own expense." ”"Hmm...
In this way, the wine tastes better. ”Merlin laughed, drank the wine in his hand, and threw the cup into the trash.Wearing sunglasses, he looked left and right, pointed to the beach not far away, and said to Bruce, "Look!
There's a lighthouse there. ”"It's not just a lighthouse," Bruce narrowed, looking over the lighthouse deep into the sea, and said, "There's a man up there, what is he doing?"
”"That's a kid, hell!"
Merlin looked up, and his enhanced vision saw at a glance the moving object at the edge of the lighthouse, it was a little boy lying on the railing, it seemed that he was about to fall from the lighthouse in the next moment, he hurriedly patted Bruce on the shoulder: "He's going to fall!"
Fast!
”Bruce immediately dropped the bottle in his hand and rushed to the lighthouse after Merlin.But just as they were about to approach the lighthouse, Merlin let out an exclamation, and in front of them, the little boy who was holding on to the lighthouse railing jumped down from the top of the lighthouse."
Damn it!"
Seeing the boy fall into the sea, Merlin took off his shirt as he ran, and threw the clothes to Bruce, who rushed all the way to the beach and jumped into the sea without saying a word.Merlin's swimming skills weren't too bad, and he swooped into the icy sea, swaying his hands and feet, and rushed towards the boy who was struggling on the surface.Bruce grabbed a swimming ring with a rope attached to the railing of the dock and ran on the shore in the direction where the child had fallen."
I got you!
Don't let go!
”Merlin approached the child, who was floating in the water, and he grabbed his hand and shouted, "Don't be afraid, I will save you." ”"I don't want you to save me!"
As a result, the child's struggle became more intense, his blond hair was wet, and he stubbornly screamed at Merlin: "Let go of me!"
Let go of me!
I'm going to my mom!
”"Don't make a fuss!"

In the moment of crisis, Merlin ignored the boy's screams, he grabbed the child's arm with one hand, paddled the water with the other, and swam towards the shore."
Come help me!
Come help me!
”The little boy who was holding Merlin's arm shouted in the direction of the ocean, and at first Merlin thought it was a child making a fuss, but soon he realized that something was not quite right with the water around him.Fish!
Fish everywhere!
From small black fish, to silver, swordfish scurrying across the sea, and even schools of dolphins, when Merlin turned back, he even saw whales spraying and sharks raising their fins on the surface of the sea when Merlin turned around.In just a few minutes, Merlin felt like he was being chased by a storm of fish, he sensed the crisis, and even the dark power in his body flowed at this moment.In the icy water, Merlin draped the shadow over his body and pulled the child into the shadow cloak.He didn't dare to struggle, he could see several dangerous sharks swimming dozens of meters around him.Merlin covered the mouth of the boy in his arms, and he had a crazy guess...
Maybe it was the boy who called the fish.Those fish are here to help him."
What the hell!
What the hell is wrong with this world?
”Merlin gritted his teeth and spit out, and under the breath of the shadow cloak, the scurrying fish lost their purpose and dispersed in the shallow sea.The dangerous sharks were also aware of the presence of food, and they scattered to hunt, which finally put Merlin at ease.He grabbed the little boy who was no longer struggling, swam forward for more than 20 meters, and then grabbed the swimming ring thrown by Bruce, and returned to the shore with the blonde boy.There is still some distance between this lighthouse and the pier, so this bizarre scene is not seen by too many people.Merlin rushed ashore with the boy in his arms, and he gave Bruce a look, who immediately understood.A few minutes later, Merlin led the boy to the bottom of the great lighthouse in Mercy Harbor, where he sat on a chair at the entrance of the lighthouse, and as he dried his clothes, he looked at the little boy in front of him, who was also looking at him."
Those fish...
You called it?
”Bruce squatted next to the little boy, he took out the towel he had just bought from his backpack, wiped the little boy's hair, and he asked, "What's your name?"
”"Arthur, my name is Arthur."
The boy answered Bruce's question, but his eyes were fixed on Merlin.It's like observing a mysterious figure.Merlin had just escaped the terrible fate of being eaten by sharks, and he was in a bad mood, so he scared the little boy viciously: "What do you see?
Look again, I'll throw you into the sea!
”"You're a magician!
I see it!
You cover us with shadows!
”Little Arthur was not afraid of Merlin's threat, on the contrary, he stared at Merlin with round eyes, and he said to Merlin with a hint of expectation: "Master Magician, can you take me to the deep sea?"
”The child's question made Merlin stunned for a moment.He knew that the child in front of him was definitely not ordinary, and maybe he could find a solution to his doom from him, so Merlin asked rhetorically: "Then tell me, why did you go to the deep sea?"
”"Because my mom is there!"
Little Arthur replied crisply: "Right in Atlantis, the city of the undersea people, my mother is the queen!"
”As he spoke, he was a little sad, and he lowered his head, playing with his fingers, and said to Merlin, "I have tried to swim to her many times, but I am too young to swim over."
Every time I swam too long, the fish wouldn't help me...
You're the first magician I've ever met, can you help me?
”Merlin was about to answer, but at this moment, the door of the large lighthouse, which had been closed, was suddenly pushed open from the inside.A man in a sweater, a little haggard, but handsome, stood at the door, and when little Arthur saw him, he cheered and threw himself into the man's arms."
Daddy, Daddy!
I've found Mr.
Magician!
He would help us find Mom, and he promised me!
”"Oh, really?"
The man smiled a little, he stroked his son's hair, and he said, "My little Arthur is really good. ”With that, he turned his head to look at Merlin and Bruce again, with a hint of scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes, and after a few moments, he turned to the side and made a "please" gesture."
But unfortunately, they are not magicians...
So they can't help us. ”"But please come in and sit down, two kind gentlemen
