In February, March, April, nothing happened, and this state of affairs continued until October.For more than half a year, Merlin did not perform any more field missions.Under Fury's protection, he kept a low profile as if he had been forgotten.His time is like a flywheel that is being plucked hard, spinning very fast.It wasn't until one day, when Merlin came out of the meditation room on the second floor and unexpectedly saw the flowers blooming on the lawn, that he realized that autumn was almost over.Indulging in one thing will always make people unaware of the passage of time, but Merlin can feel the effective improvement of his own strength.Aside from having dinner with his family once a week and contacting Fury once every six months, he spent almost the rest of the rest of his time practicing magic, and he purposefully finished the Standard Spell.
Intermediate", learned a lot of useful spells, and at the same time, from scratch, he configured the first potion in his life.It was his study of potions, and his first success was an offensive potion.Or better yet, flame ointment.By applying something similar to cosmetics to a weapon, you can temporarily enchant the weapon, so that an ordinary knife or an ordinary bullet can have a flame burning form, and the lethality of alien creatures will be increased.At the same time, weapons that touch the flame ointment can also damage disembodied alien creatures such as ghosts.Unfortunately, it took several spells to make this thing, and he couldn't give Fury the recipe for it.This seemingly powerful thing is only the most basic thing in the mysterious and obscure Potions science, and Merlin sees many other interesting things in the textbook "Introduction to Potions".For example, compound potions that can transform people into another person, such as healing potions that can get rid of all kinds of diseases, and for example, the legendary Animagus potions that can transform people into animals.Even the Magic Stone, a treasure recorded in that book that can make people immortal, requires extremely high knowledge of potions.It's like an ocean of knowledge, once you enter it, there is no turning back, and Merlin has not hesitated to plunge into it.With the first elixir, there is the second, the third.But Merlin is not an iron man without feelings, and he also needs entertainment in his spare time, so in between practicing magic, Merlin begins to try to restore the old Dodge car in his backyard that is on the verge of being scrapped.I don't know what kind of bad luck this car has suffered, its interior and body are unusable, and even bullet holes can be seen, which means that if Merlin wants to fix it, he will have to almost start from scratch and give the car a complete refurbishment.This is a bit of a no-brainer, because this car, like Lola, is a classic old car, it was released in 1970, and Merlin estimated that to get the car replaced, Merlin would have to run all over Hell's Kitchen, and even most of the auto parts stores in New York.But how to say it?
Merlin had plenty of time, and his need for the car was not very urgent, and with the blessing of memories, Merlin finally decided to restore the car completely.Now, in October 1994, he has completely changed the exterior and interior of the car.As for the engine and some of the complex structures inside, Merlin had a hard time handling this thing himself, so he had been thinking about whether to find a way to completely replace it with a new one.Just as Merlin had changed the windows, washed his hands, and was about to go out for lunch, an uninvited guest suddenly came to visit."
Drip, drip" The doorbell rang, and Merlin stepped forward and opened the door.Outside the door stood a handsome young man, dressed in a suit of slacks, with expensive sunglasses, and his hair combed and shiny.Behind him, in front of Merlin's house, there was also a latest-model Ferrari red sports car.And the young man standing in front of Merlin's eyes, under the sunglasses, was showing a trace of apprehension and expectation."
I've finally found you!"
The young man looked at Merlin and said, "I've been looking for you for 3 years!"
Merlin.
Riley!
”"Tony.
Stark..."
Merlin looked at the young man in front of him, he recognized the identity of this man, he had a relationship with him once, in December '91.After he witnessed Howard.
After the Starks died, he infiltrated the Stark family's mansion and told the young man in front of him his last message.Compared with the despair, sadness, and indulging in pain 3 years ago, Tony in front of him is undoubtedly much more mature.Whether it is speaking, expression, or the sharp temperament exuded from his body, it means that the young man in front of him has completely walked out of the pain of losing his loved ones and started a new life.Well, judging from his low-key and luxurious outfit, he may still be rich, happy, and a perfect new life."
What are you looking for me to do?"
Merlin asked.Tony.
Stark looked left and right, and he said to Merlin, "Won't you invite me in and sit?"
We had a friendship somehow. ”"Friendship?"
Merlin savored the word, shook his head, turned to the side, and made a "please" gesture to Tony.The latter took off his sunglasses and walked into the room.He looked at Merlin's home and said with a frown, "I thought that a mysterious person like you would live in a more mysterious place, such as a mountain villa, or simply some secret base or something. ”"Tea?
Or water?
”Merlin didn't answer Tony's complaints, he took a bottle of water from the fridge and poured it into a cup, he asked, "How did you find me?"
”Behind him, Tony sat on the old couch with a look of disgust, and he leaned back in a comfortable position, saying, "I'm a scientist, an inventor, and I use the power of technology." ”"Bang" Merlin bent down and put the water in front of Tony's eyes, he reached out and took off his glasses, and looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes that radiated the halo of embers, and he said, "Then I am different from you, I am a mysterious person, I use mysterious powers...
I mean, I can see if you're lying!
”"Honestly, how did you find me?"
Tony looked at Merlin's strange pupils, the 21-year-old felt a little furious, he couldn't help but change his position, and after a few seconds, he said a little unwillingly, "Okay, it was Aunt Peggy who told me." ”"Peggy?
You mean, Peggy.
Ms.
Carter?
”Merlin sat on the couch across from Tony, he put his eyes back on, and he said, "Well, if it's her, that's really understandable...
It seems that a boy with a background can do whatever he wants. ”Merlin said with a slight mockery: "Even the location of the agent's safe house, which cannot be leaked theoretically, can be obtained from relatives."
But what I'm more curious about is, Mr.
Tony, why did you come to me?
I don't think it just came on a whim, did you?
”"Of course not!"
Tony sat up straight, he stared at Merlin with his eyes, and he asked seriously, seriously, "I'm here to ask you, what happened on the night my parents died?"
”This question made Merlin glance at Tony, and he shook his head: "Your level of secrecy is not enough, I can't tell you about it, please go back, Mr.
Tony."
Or, you can go and ask your Aunt Peggy, I used to tell her everything. ”"If Aunt Peggy is willing to tell me this, will I have to go all the way to this goddamn place to find you?"
Tony is a young man, and he has the impulsive personality that a young man should have.He stood up, propped his hands on the table, and said to Merlin menacingly, "My parents died in front of your eyes, and you are the only witness!"
I am their son, and I am entitled and have reason to know all this!
I've come all the way from California to hear you say no!
Tell me, Merlin!
Tell me what you saw that night?
”"Please, tell me!"
Frankly, Tony looks pretty fierce when he starts the fire.But he was confronted by a secret agent who had just killed a half-demon from hell with his own hands three months earlier.The things that Merlin had seen, participated in, and performed with his own hands were things that young Tony could not have imagined.His anger was like a fist-swinging little boy, and it didn't affect Merlin at all.It didn't even make Merlin's expression change a bit.Merlin looked at Tony so calmly, in the dark perception, he could feel Tony's anger, the emotions that filled his spirit, the pain that was hidden and erupted again, those unbearable memories.In Tony's eyes, Merlin saw loss, pain, despair, and a hint of pleading.But a secret is a secret.Merlin was well aware that although the Winter Soldier might be dead, the organization behind him was well hidden.Fury had been using the resources of the Strategic Crisis Intervention and Espionage Logistics Division to investigate the organization, but three years later, Fury still found nothing.This speaks volumes about the dangers of that organization.Letting Tony's impulsive, still childish young man know those secrets, is not helping him, but harming him."
I'm sorry, Tony, but I have nothing to say."
Merlin said calmly.The pleading in Tony's eyes quickly turned to anger, but just as he was about to continue asking, the cell phone in Merlin's pocket suddenly rang.Merlin made a silent gesture to Tony, then picked up the phone, which was an unfamiliar number, and Merlin put it to his ear.The next moment, a familiar woman's voice came."

Is it Merlin?
I'm Peggy.
Carter.Pls where is my nephew Tony in you?
”Merlin glanced at Tony, then said to the lady on the other end of the line, "Yes, ma'am, he's right here with me, angrily breaking into my house and asking for some secrets he shouldn't know. ”"That's good."
Miss Peggy breathed a sigh of relief, and she said to Merlin with a slight apology, "Then please send him to me, Tony found my diary and learned of your existence from it, I'm sorry, Merlin, I'm old, not as alert as I was when I was younger." ”"Also, Merlin, I heard from Fury about everything you did, and I have to thank you for your dedication to the city.""
That's my job, ma'am.As for Tony, please wait a moment and I'll send him over. ”Merlin hung up the phone, he stood up, moved his fingers, and said to Tony in front of him, "Let's go, Master Tony."
I'll send you back to your aunt. ”"Don't touch me!"
With a twinkle of fear and embarrassment in Tony's eyes, he stepped back and shouted to Merlin, "I can walk back myself!"
Don't touch me!
I'm warning you!
Other...
Yes!
Tap, it hurts!
Hurt!!
”Merlin stepped forward, grabbed Tony's wrist with his fingers, and flicked it slightly, the young man in front of him let out a cry of pain, and then Merlin grabbed him and carried him on his shoulder."
Ms.
Peggy wants to talk to you about you peeking into her diary.Tony...
You're 21 years old, how can you still look like a child who can't grow up!
”Merlin carried Tony out of the room with a struggling man, and he single-handedly pinned Tony onto the passenger seat of the cool Ferrari.But Tony struggles like a rattling monkey and screams, which makes Merlin lose his patience completely.He slapped Tony's neck and knocked the young man unconscious.Merlin opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, this was the first time he had touched such a luxurious car, he couldn't even see the car key, the engine of this thing, it needed to be unlocked by fingerprints.But, fortunately, Tony is right by his side.Merlin tugged Tony's finger and pressed it on the driver's seat of the sports car, and after a few seconds of unlocking, the muffled sound of the engine sounded like a reverberating thunder."
Let me send you home, impulsive young man."
Merlin reached out and secured Tony in the passenger seat, then took the steering wheel as the expensive, powerful toy made a perfect arc down the road and rushed out like an arrow off the string.But before Merlin could drive out of Hell's Kitchen, his cell phone rang again.This time, the numbers are quite familiar."
Hey, Fury?"
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on his phone, Merlin felt the wind blowing in his face and asked, "How do you have time to call me?"
Didn't you say you were training rookies in California recently?
”"There's trouble, Merlin."
Fury's deep voice came, his tone full of solemnity, and he said, "Come to California as quickly as possible, I'll send you the address, it's best to bring weapons."
This time the situation is very special and fatal. ”"What the hell is going on?"
Merlin frowned, he had a hunch that the life he had just calmed down was about to be broken again.On the other side of the phone, Fury hesitated for a few seconds before he said, "It's...
Alien!
