"Hmm" In the violent, dark red, uncalm-looking light of the shapeshifting charm, Merlin's figure stumbled into his living room.There was a little accident when he landed, Merlin couldn't stand still, and the whole person smashed on the coffee table in the living room, smashing the poor table apart again.Merlin staggered and shook his head in the midst of the loud noise, trying to sober himself up.But as he shook his head, the scorching heat above his head, the violent sparks that danced in the billowing white smoke, burned several holes in the carpet, and a foul smell spread through the living room.Merlin realized something was wrong.He stretched out his hand, took out the blue-gray steel cane, supported his body, and walked to his basement step by step, leaving a charred footprint behind him with each step.It was as if his whole body was burning.Although his clothes were still intact, the light around his body was distorted by the scorching heat, as if there was a wildfire being lit in his body.In the subtle sound, Merlin felt that the skin on both sides of his forehead was cracked, and two small hard horns extended from the flesh.This meant that his body was transforming in the direction of a half-demon, which was a bad sign."
Nope!
No!
”Merlin pressed his forehead with his hand, and he tried to mobilize the boiling magic of his body in the chaos of his will like a high fever, and he called out in a low voice: "Go back!"
Go back!
”Under his scolding, after the magic was pushed back into the flow, the little black horn actually retracted, leaving two bloody wounds on both sides of Merlin's forehead.But in the current situation, Merlin no longer felt pain.The sublimated power seed was in Merlin's body, fusing with the power seed that belonged to him, and he could feel the process of that fusion, in fact, it was not very painful, but it would bring a feeling of expansion and tearing to every cell in the body.It was as if the entire body was going to be torn apart to form a stronger, more powerful body.This feeling is very similar to the feeling of Merlin five years ago, when he was absorbing the first power seed in space, but whether it is the surge of energy or the inner change process, it is much clearer and more intense than it was then.The door to the basement was pushed open, and strange white smoke emanated from all over his body, as if Merlin had been ignited from the inside.His vision was starting to blur, but it wasn't like the blur he was about to go blind.On the contrary, he could feel as if a new pair of eyes were about to emerge from his forehead.This is different from the last time Merlin temporarily entered the Majin form, this time his body is actually transforming between humans and demons, and once the conversion is completed, Merlin will change from a human to a half-demon.This is permanent.The tingling sensation on his forehead became more and more intense, and the new pair of demonic eyes would soon be completed.Merlin wasted no more time, he threw himself on the drawer where he had placed the potion, pulled the drawer open, took out a small vial of beige viscous liquid from those strangely colored bottles and jars, lifted the lid, raised his head, and poured the potion whole.The potion tastes terrible...
It was like an overnight swill, mixed with the juice of a rotten apple that had been fermented, and the moment it entered Merlin's mouth, it made him feel like he wanted to vomit.But the potion works very quickly.Less than 3 seconds after Merlin drank the potion, with a sharp pain, he could feel that in the body full of expanding and tearing senses, there was a steady stream of new energy welling up from within the body along with the pain, and his physical qualities, including the degree of mana capacity, the speed of metabolism and blood circulation, were temporarily strengthened at this moment.It's like a tank full of water that is about to overflow, and at this moment it is suddenly doubled, so that the water that is about to overflow falls back into the tank.The strange feeling of swelling in his body quickly subsided, and even the squirming of the demonic eye that was about to evolve on his forehead was strangely calmed down at this moment.Merlin's vision was regaining, his consciousness was gradually regaining clarity, and even the billowing white smoke and hot skin escaping from his body quickly stopped.This seems to mean that he has survived the most difficult moments.In his body, the fusion of the power seeds was not yet complete, but at the rate at which they fused, the fusion and sublimation process of this power seed should be able to be completed before this vial of potion expired."
Thank you."
Merlin looked at the crystal bottle that was already empty in his hand, and he was really relieved.The potion was called the Full Moon, and it was one of the first potions Merlin had concocted from the alchemical recipe Geralt had given him.Its effect is very simple, that is, to greatly explore the potential of the human body in a short period of time, and to advance the various qualities of the human body to a level close to the limit, just now, this potion has broadened the degree of Merlin's body to the magic power by nearly two-thirds at one time, so that those boiling magic power will not have a bad effect on Merlin's body.But while the effects of this potion are amazing, they also have very bad negative effects.After the effect of the body enhancement is over, Merlin will fall into a period of weakness due to the toxicity of the potion itself, and all the witcher's potions are accompanied by strong toxicity, which is fatal to ordinary people, as long as a drop, no matter how healthy ordinary people will die miserably.Merlin rubbed his forehead, set the crystal bottle aside, sat down on his cushion by himself, and began to mobilize the accumulated magic in his body little by little, making them work again.If everything goes well, then after the sublimation of the power seed in his body, Merlin's demonic power will change again, as Geralt said, every time he drives this power, a large amount of mana will be consumed, so that the magic in Merlin's body is always in a balanced state of consumption and regeneration, to ensure that the dark magic will not erode his soul and body more.But this balance can easily be broken.The longer Merlin is immersed in demonic power, the faster the dark magic grows, and perhaps in a few years, he will once again be in danger of being eroded.At that time, he will have to hunt down the other Demon Sons again to make the seeds of power sublimate again.And to make it worse, since it's called a Power Seed, it means that it will always blossom and bear fruit...
Once the sublimation of the power seed reaches a certain level, no matter how hard Merlin tries to maintain balance, his body will still transform into a half-demon.In other words, his current insistence is only delaying the arrival of the dark mutation, like drinking water to quench his thirst.But alas, Kama Taj is elusive and hard to find, and the Eternal Rock has been cut off.He couldn't do it better now.In a meditative state, hours passed in a flash, and when Merlin opened his eyes, it was already 10 o'clock the next morning.He breathed a sigh of relief and tried to mobilize his strength.The familiar black mist lingered in the palm of his hand, just like the previous touch, the same docile, the same easy to use.And with Merlin's change of mind, the black mist in his hand also quickly changed shape, and a moment later, three sharp black flying knives appeared between his fingers, which were extremely similar to the energy flying knives thrown out by the demon Anthony.It's full of a sense of sharpness.Merlin's wrist flipped over, and the three throwing knives flew out with a whistling sound, like real knives, and slammed into the basement wall with a sound like bullets coming out, stirring up several flying clouds of smoke and dust.With the movement of Merlin's fingers, the solid dark power turned into drifting smoke again and returned to the palm of his hand."
Not bad."
He nodded and said, "Just call you the Shadow Throwing Knife." ”Merlin cleared the smoke, and he stood up a little weakly, the toxicity of the full moon potion took a while to explode, about 1 day.When he also had the option to configure another potion called "White Honey", it could dilute the toxins in his body and make him return to normal after ten minutes.But unfortunately, there are too many ingredients in the witcher's alchemy recipe that are too obscure, and those materials need to be purchased by Merlin in Diagon Alley, and even Diagon Alley may not even be available.After all, from the day of birth, witchers and wizards are two completely different groups, and the alchemy of both sides also has its own merits, and the alchemy of wizards is more comprehensive, all-encompassing, and has everything.The alchemy of the witcher is more targeted, and those potions are almost all prepared for auxiliary battles.Merlin made a list of the materials he needed, and asked his children in England to help raise them.When the list was finished, he looked at the time, then pondered for a moment, brushing over everything he had at hand.A few minutes later, he picked up his phone and called a relatively unfamiliar phone number."
Hello?
Miss Vivien?
I'm Merlin, and I have one thing I want to ask the Imperial Organization...
No, it's not business, uh, it's my personal thing, I mean, can I do it in person?
”"Well, okay, I'll see you tomorrow at 9 p.m. at Mick's Lodge in Queens."
Merlin and Vivien on the other side of the phone.
Graham made an appointment, and he pulled out the recipe for the mutant potion that Geralt had left him, rubbing his fingers over the scrap of paper with the words written on it.Thanks to the continuous efforts of the demon hunters, the mutant potion used by the demon hunters in this era is much better than the original.Its success rate has been increased from 30% to 50%, and it no longer harms the Witcher's fertility.But it was still not the perfect recipe for Merlin.A 50% success rate means that one in 2 people will die...
S.D.O.L.D is so many, if this potion goes to the risk, it is estimated that Merlin's new witcher system has not yet been established, he will be sent to court-martial by the angry Fury.What's more, Merlin didn't plan to tell Fury about the mutant agent right now.Frankly, this stuff is a bit hot.Although the effect of this elixir on the witcher's transcendent body is not as good as the super soldier serum used by Captain America, the mutant potion is better than the good reproducibility, which means that once Merlin gets the improved formula, he can make a batch of monkey version super soldiers that are far stronger than ordinary soldiers in a very short time.In this case, even if Fury trusts Merlin again, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it will be difficult for him to keep this formula in his own hands under the different reactions of many parties.What's more, the fact that there are internal ghosts in S.H.I.E.L.D. has been thoroughly identified, and Merlin does not plan to reveal his secrets until those internal ghosts are found out.But to increase the success rate of potions, this has to be done by professionals, and with Merlin's level of alchemy and potions, he can't control such a complex potion combination.He doesn't have a trusted alchemy master by his side, so he just leaves it to modern technology to study.And when it comes to the level of biology, what other organization in the world can be more professional than the imperial organization?
The most important thing is that the research project of the Emperor Organization determines that the members of this organization are very receptive to these god-like things, and even if they see this formula, they will not make a fuss.In the afternoon of the next day, Merlin went to his cousin's house, played with little Peter at May's house, had another meal, and at 8:30 p.m., Merlin took a taxi and arrived at Mick's restaurant in Queens on time.This restaurant is famous in the neighborhood for its pizza and snacks that are so delicious that adults and children alike enjoy eating them.Merlin was also a regular visitor, but today, when he opened the door and walked into Mick's house, he saw someone he hadn't seen in almost 10 years, but he knew very well.It was a gray-haired old man, with tattered sunglasses, neatly combed hair, a jacket and trench coat, and a red cane in his hand.He was standing behind the counter at Mick's restaurant, and in a neutral voice, he commanded several waiters to place a new batch of endgames.I haven't seen him for 10 years, and this old man is also much older."
Stan?"
Merlin screamed in surprise, and when the old man heard someone calling him, he turned his head slowly, and saw Merlin in a gray casual suit with a handbag, and a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.Apparently, he recognized Merlin as well."
Oh, Merlin...
It's strange, how did you end up here?
”The old man walked briskly out from behind the counter with his cane, and he looked Merlin up and down, and he asked, "You work around here?"
”"My sister's house is nearby."
Merlin said, then asked, "Stan, aren't you a comic book artist?"
How did it end up here?
”"Mick's Restaurant is my shop."
Stan Sr. shrugged his shoulders and said to Merlin: "I opened it 7 years ago, and it has been until now, of course, this is just a side hustle, and I still have to make a living by painting most of the time." ”"Come, Merlin, let's sit and talk.I've been running out of inspiration lately, and I can't draw new works, so maybe your experience over the years can give me some inspiration. ”()
