"Generally speaking, divers have to fall into the water with both hands first, which can reduce drag and the probability of danger will be lower.But with you jumping from 200 feet, it's the craziest cliff dive in the world, so my experience is hard to help you with, luck is all about it...""
I mean, if you have any special abilities, you'd better use them all!
This is no joke!
”As midnight approached, on the cliff shore beyond the lighthouse, Tom dragged a large pile of things off his pickup and placed them at Merlin's feet.He told Merlin: "There is no reef under this cliff, and that's the best news for you, you don't need to worry about falling to your death."
But it's important to remember to keep your body upright as much as possible to minimize the impact between your body and the water, and wear glasses to avoid eye injury. ”"Most importantly, don't faint!"
Tom told Merlin as simply as he could: "Jumping from such a high place, the collision between your body and the surface of the water will have a huge impact, and you have to get through, otherwise it will be too late for me to rescue you immediately." ”"I try."
Merlin was also a little nervous, he wore a wetsuit, buttoned his goggles to his eyes, and moved his body on the edge of the cliff.At 200 feet, it's dizzying to look down, and if there were other options, Merlin wouldn't be so desperate.The deep sea breeze hit his face, making him feel a chill, and he kept taking deep breaths, trying his best to keep himself in the best condition.Merlin wasn't worried about his own death.Past experiments have proven that the dark forces in his body can help him avoid disaster when his life is in danger.What worries him the most is that even if he throws everything to take risks, he still won't be able to catch that fleeting hope."
Are you ready?"
Tom looked at Merlin nervously, and he said, "Why don't you wait a few more days?"
Once you're familiar with diving. ”"No!"
Merlin looked back at Tom, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't wait any longer, I may not have the courage to do this...
Thank you, Tom, for giving me a chance. ”"What I'm giving you, perhaps, is a ticket to hell."
Tom was a genuinely kind man, and at this moment, he regretted it a little, and he said, "I regret it, Merlin, and maybe in the first place, I shouldn't have told you about the undersea people." ”"It's too late to regret it, bless me, Tom!"
Merlin clenched the trident pendant in his hand, and after a deep breath, he ran towards the cliff and jumped as hard as he could, as if he were flying.His body rose into the air, in the air as Tom had taught, with his arms outstretched and his balance maintained, he saw the sea under the night, in the flip of his body he saw Tom standing on the edge of the cliff waving at him, and then in the rotation of his gaze, he saw the surface of the sea.Merlin's arms were clinging to his body like falling arrows, and he swooped down towards the sea in the night.The wind, the cold wind beat against his face, making him barely open his eyes, his hair swaying wildly in the cold wind, and before his eyes, the rough sea was getting closer and closer, like a real mirror.The dark power in his body seemed to sense the danger coming, and as he got closer and closer to the water, Merlin's hands and body began to "melt" like dissipated smoke."
AhhMerlin felt a change in his body, which meant that the force believed that his life was in danger.This also made Merlin can't help but let out a series of screams.The moment he fell to the surface, his body spread out in an instant.It was like a cloud of smoke being shattered, black, with the smoke of Mars, exploding violently on the surface of the icy water, like a bomb exploding on the surface of the sea, and the splash of water rushed into the air with a loud noise, shattering the waves.As the smoke cleared, Merlin fell into the icy water, heeding Tom's warning and keeping his mouth shut to keep himself from choking.In addition to Tom on the cliff, there was another person who also witnessed Merlin's hopeful jump under the dark waves, but after Merlin smashed into the water like a stone, the man in the water held on to the handle of the knife and said with a look of disapproval: "Sound effect...
Out. ”"Posture... 0 points. ”"Another self-defeating suicide...
He also smells of demons.May the sea forgive him. ”As he spoke, the man who was standing in the water as if he was standing on land shook his arm slightly, and was about to turn away.But at his last glance, he saw the silver pendant clenched in Merlin's palm, which halted the man's turn.A moment later, he leaned forward, like a cannonball out of his arms, and rushed towards Merlin with an unimaginable rapidity.Before Merlin could react, he grabbed Merlin's arm and spun sharply through the water.Merlin felt the splash of water lap on his face, the near-sonic kinetic energy exerted on his consciousness like a punch to the jaw.His vision in front of his goggles swayed, making it impossible for him to see objects in the water around him, and he could only vaguely see a dark figure.Merlin's subconscious struggle made the undersea man who clasped his arm show a contemptuous smile, and his feet swayed in the water, and the already extremely fast speed accelerated again.The force exerted on Merlin's body doubled instantly, and he even heard the click of his own spine that was overwhelming, which made Merlin's eyes go black and he fainted in the water.The underwater man's fingers swayed, and a moment later, a summoned dolphin circled the two of them a few times, and then humped up the unconscious Merlin, and swam south after the underwater man.By the time Merlin awoke, he was already on a white sandy beach, surrounded by breezy seas and the chirping of seagulls.When he opened his eyes, he saw a dazzling ray of sunlight, which made him subconsciously stretch out his hand and block the light in front of him.His mouth was filled with the salty and bitter taste of seawater, which made him feel very thirsty."
Who are you?"
A voice rang out behind Merlin, causing Merlin to leap to his feet.When he looked back, he saw a stranger, sitting on a stone on the beach behind him.In the man's hand, he was holding the silver pendant that Tom had given Merlin."
You're an underseaman?"
Merlin looked at the man, his appearance was no different from that of a human, his black hair was tied in a strange bun on top of his head, and one couldn't help but look twice.He was wearing a black, robe-like garment, not like a human garment, but the tight-fitting robe was certainly easy to move around in the water.In short, if you look at it from the outside, the person in front of you definitely doesn't look like the undersea man in Merlin's imagination.No fins, no scales, no tail...
It's not like a fantasy creature at all."
I'm from Atlantis, to be exact."
The man looked at Merlin, a glint flashed in his green eyes, he stretched out his hand, hung the pendant in the air, and said, "How can you have a token of His Majesty Atlanta?"
Where did you get it from?
”"It's Tom.
Curry gave it to me. ”Seeing that the man admitted his identity, Merlin was a little excited, and he said truthfully: "Tom found out that you were moving around the Port of Mercy, he was very worried, he didn't know if this was a warning from the undersea people.He is a father, and children are always a father's greatest weakness...
He wondered, did you come with good intentions or with bad intentions?
”"Tom.
Curry—" The black-haired undersea man pronounced the name in a gnashing of teeth, he took a deep breath and said indifferently, "I should have killed him five years ago, and if I had done that, none of this would have happened." ”"Arrogant landers are always like this, thinking that the world revolves around you...
Tom is just a dispensable mortal, and the only reason I'm active in Port of Grace is Arthur.
Curry, the prince of Atlantis, has the noblest blood of the Seven Seas Kingdom of Atlantis in his body, nothing more. ”"Tom also wondered if he should let Arthur continue to touch the sea?"
Merlin added: "Arthur has a gift, I have seen it with my own eyes, he can command the creatures of the sea, the fish...
Even sharks and whales.But in my experience, this talent may not be a good thing for little Arthur, who has to hide his talent if he wants to live in human society. ”"He can command the fish?"
The undersea man looked a little surprised, and he looked at Merlin: "Are you sure?"
The last time I came to see him, the kid didn't have that ability!
”"Last time?
When?
”Merlin looked at the undersea man in front of him suspiciously, who silently calculated the time difference between Atlantis and humans, and said, "It was probably a few months ago, I had other things to do.Queen Atlanta is my good friend, but I must be loyal to my king first. ”Merlin keenly noticed that the undersea man had a flash of pain in his eyes when he talked about Arthur's mother, which made Merlin have a premonition that something bad was happening.But he didn't choose to say it, explaining: "Little Arthur told me that this is an ability he accidentally discovered when he visited the Aquarium last month.You haven't come back then, so you should have missed it. ”"Well, it should be."
The man nodded and said, "It should be so, the blood of the Atlanta family flows in Arthur's body, and he is destined to do something great...
But you, landers!
You must stay away from Arthur!
”The undersea man's tone became a little colder, and he looked at Merlin as if he had seen through all Merlin's secrets, and he warned: "You are shrouded in a rich dark power, you are haunted by bad luck, you are an ominous person.From now on, I forbid you to be with Arthur, and if I find you near him again, I will not hesitate to throw you into the trench!"
”"I know!"
Merlin finally seized the opportunity, he looked at the underwater man in front of him, and he said, "This is also the purpose of my desperate search for you.Tom told me that people under the sea can use magic, you see, I have doom in me, including the dark power of the damn damn, which is not what I want...

I'd like to ask you to help me, even if it's just to tell me how to get rid of all this crazy bad luck?
”"You mean, let me wash you away the dark magic from your body?"
The undersea man smiled, and he asked Merlin a question: "Let's not say if I can do it, the lander...
Importantly, why should I help you?
”Without waiting for Merlin to answer, the undersea man said eloquently: "Atlantis has existed for much longer than you think, and human civilization has almost developed and grown under our noses.In my long life, I have seen many ignorant land-dwellers blindly seeking power, and there are so many cases like yours in your so-called Middle Ages...
Most of the people who have been involved with demons are to blame. ”"It seems to me that you are no different from your crazy compatriots, and you are not worth saving at all.""
But I didn't do it voluntarily!"
Merlin pointed to his eyes and retorted, "All this is not what I want!"
It was the demon who forged it on me, and if I could, I'd rather none of this had happened at all!
”"Oh, really?"
The undersea man smiled disdainfully, he pointed to Merlin's eyes and said, "Dark magic fills every corner of your soul, this is a sign that the demon contract has been established, since it is a contract, it means that you have made a deal...
You paid for all this in exchange for something from the demons. ”"Land man, look me in the eye and tell me, if I give you a chance to turn everything around, will you really refuse that contract?""
I—" Merlin wanted to say no neatly, but James.
Coulson's face suddenly appeared in front of him, which made Merlin hesitate for a moment.Is he really willing to turn everything around and watch James die in a car crash?
Is he really willing to give up this, perhaps the only chance to save James?
Maybe...
This undersea man is right.The contract is completed, James survives, and the price is that he is riddled with bad luck, although the living are not human, ghosts are not ghosts...
But the question is, between his current situation and James' life, if he had to make a choice, which would he choose?
The hesitation in Merlin's eyes did not escape the gaze of the underseaman, who shook his head and said, "It seems that you understand it yourself, right?"
”"What is happening to you may not have come from your intention, but the source is your choice.Land people, we sea people know since childhood, every living thing, has to pay for its choice, you make a choice, you suffer the consequences...
In this world, there is no regret medicine. ”He turned to leave, and said, "What you're chasing is just a pale image of remorse."
What you need is not salvation, but acceptance of this cold reality. ”Merlin's eyes were bitter, he looked at the underwater man who left in front of him, he stretched out his hand a little dazedly, but he didn't know how to keep him.It wasn't until a few seconds later that Merlin asked in a hoarse tone, "Okay, I see."
But, but can you tell me, is there a way to avert this bad luck?
It's really driving me crazy, and most importantly, I don't want to see bad things happen to me anymore, I want to do good...
Please, please help me!
”"Oh, that's back to that question."
The undersea man turned to look at Merlin, and he said, "Am you and I friends?"
Am I obligated to do so?
”"I'll keep Arthur.
Curry's secret, I'm sure my friends will too.I will stay away from Arthur as you wish, and will not be by his side for the rest of my life. ”Merlin narrowed his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "The most important thing is that I will keep his mother's secret from little Arthur...""
She's actually gone, isn't she?"
