Merlin.
Riley is a legend.Especially in the superhero circle of the earth, the first superhero organization on the planet, the New York Hero Association, was established at the behest of Merlin.During his time at S.H.I.E.L.D., the S.D.O.L.D. he led was also a big force with a close connection to superheroes.Many superheroes have been "visited" by S.D.O.L.D. agents when they were just starting out, received their "help", and also had the experience of being listed as a target for observation.Over the past few years, it is no exaggeration to say that Merlin.
Riley holds the power of life and death for superheroes.But it's reassuring to know that he didn't abuse that power.On the contrary, under his repeated care, the unique group of superheroes has developed by leaps and bounds, and even formed a set of conventional rules that belong to this circle.That rule continues to this day, and is still widely used after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the disbandment of S.D.O.L.D.These rules are underestimated.It is precisely because of these rules that have been adhered to and enforced that superheroes, a group that is difficult to define, can be accepted and worshiped by most ordinary people today.The vast majority of superheroes come from ordinary people, and if they have been resisted by ordinary people, then they will not be able to achieve what they are today.If you think about it with your ass, you know that no one will regard a career that is spurned by everyone as a life goal and plan.Just like no girl will regard becoming a practitioner in the customs industry as the first goal in life.From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Merlin is the father of the superheroes of this era.Of course, Raven Maharaja doesn't like such pompous titles, and all the work he has done in the past has only been a very insignificant one for the support, monitoring and protection of superhero groups.And Hal .
Jordan was lucky, or unlucky.By the time he became a superhero, Merlin's era had come to an end, at least on the bright side.The deputy director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau in the human world, went to hell to become a king, and completely advanced to another level and another world.Although Merlin is no longer in the world, there are still legends about him in the world.Especially with the "unremitting efforts" of a spokesman like the Red Devil Asazzo, the deeds of His Excellency Raven, the Lord's Lord, are still widely circulated.As far as Hal knows, many new heroes will regard Raven as their idol, including his best friend, Barry the Flash, and Cyborg.One of these two guys is Merlin's nephew, and the other was saved by Merlin's Cult of the Mechanics, and they also witnessed Merlin's act of saving the world.They are all big fans of ravens.In short, Hal doesn't think that Raven has come to the Mystery House to ask for his help and research the secrets of the Green Lantern Ring in order to do something bad.But as Raven said, the Lantern Ring is a Lantern Hero's most precious treasure.This is true even for the crazy Yellow Lantern Corps.Hal doesn't really like the atmosphere inside the Green Lantern Corps, but he's a lightman who also sees the source of his power as a precious thing.So, in the hall of the mystery house, in the reflection of the burning fireplace of the fireplace, in the hall of Hell.
Before Jordan made a decision, he still asked cautiously: "May I ask, why would an existence like you be interested in the Green Lantern Ring?"
”He said very restrainedly: "Your power level, you don't need the lamp ring to assist you anymore, right?"
”"Don't be so reserved, Hal."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said softly, "You're Barry's friend, and you're a hero with justice in mind, and I'm not a big demon or something, and if you say the wrong thing, you'll get your head on the ground..." ”Merlin's voice had something magical about it.As he spoke, Howl's fluctuating mood quickly calmed down, and the turmoil in his heart was smoothed.He didn't think he could be presumptuous in front of ravens.The "senior" in front of him, a few days ago, single-handedly solved the giant beast, and the latter, with only one gaze, made nearly a thousand lantern heroes collectively hit the street.For strength, the necessary respect, absolutely essential.As Hal watched, Merlin hesitated slightly, and was very frank about the reason and purpose of his experiment."
You new generation of superheroes, only know that I am a spellcaster, but few people know my origins, even Barry and Arthur are not very clear about this."
Merlin put down the teacup, and he said eloquently: "It's not that I deliberately hide it, it's just that my background is not what most of you think." ”"My first power came from demons.""
Demons?"
Hal's eyes widened, and he wanted to complain about something.But when he thought about it, Merlin's current identity was that of a lord of hell, dealing with demons and demons all day long, and if he thought about it this way, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with his initial power coming from demons.Maybe it was because of the erosion of the power of the source that he entered hell."
No, it's not like that."
Merlin clearly heard Howl's doubts and inferences, he shook his head, and explained to Green Lantern: "There is no direct connection between my becoming the Lord of Hell and the power of my origin, and the matter is quite complicated. ”"From the moment ordinary people were forced to step into the mysterious real world, that curse still affects me to this day, but it's not all wrong.""
Anyway, I need to solve the problem about the demon, but I can't use the power from it to deal with it personally, so I need to find another way."
Merlin pointed to the green light ring on Howl's finger, and said, "The power of that demon is called the 'Seven Deadly Sins', which originates from the negative emotions of all things in the universe, and the green light ring in your hand is the power of will, from the spectrum of mysterious origin power emotions. ”"It is not difficult to find that the origin of these two forces is the same, Hal, and they can be regarded as two sides of the same coin."
Merlin lifted his finger, and seven colors of light burst through his fingertips.In front of Hal, a seven-colored halo of light was formed that shone and danced, and the symbols of the lantern group, including the green light of will, appeared and disappeared in the seven-colored halo.The Raven Lord looked at the beam of light in front of him, and he said to Hal: "There is no good or evil in the life emotions of the stars and all things, as I know, you Green Lantern Legion's once most powerful warrior Senisto abandoned the green light of will and joined the yellow light of fear for some personal reasons. ”"Senisto's actions may be horrible to you, but they are nothing to me, for I have seen the negativity of life come together as a real monster.""
That's my enemy and my creator, the Great Demon Sannomiya."
Merlin's fingers lit up with an orange halo, it was his vanity power, and the moment it appeared, it made the green light ring on Howl's finger shine in a reciprocal light.Green Lantern also had a strong vigilance in his heart, this was the first time that he had awakened himself uncontrolled by him after he got the Green Lantern Ring and became Green Lantern.Green light wrapped around Hal's body, like an active defense.As Hal watched in amazement, the green light of will converged into a miniaturized, lifelike shark hovering over Howl's shoulder, roaring at Merlin."
Hmm, ion shark, what a cute light beast."
Merlin looked at the self-awakened Green Lantern Ring, oppressed by the power of vanity, and the Will Lantern Beast it conjured.He chuckled and said, "Look, I'm right, the power of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Three Palaces comes from the same source as the emotional spectrum power used by you Lantern Warriors. ”"The slight difference is that you only use the unique power of the emotional spectrum, but the third house is not reluctant to all negative emotions.""
As a result, it has become extremely powerful, and it is still being sealed, but as long as it is broken and unchecked, in just a few days, it will enter a level that you cannot control and cannot fight against due to the burst and aggregation of all things' feelings."
Raven Maharaja flicked his fingers, dissipating the orange halo.He was serious about Hal.
Jordan said, "Therefore, you and I now have a common goal, we both have to stop the awakening of the three houses in the material world, and it will impact the emotional spectrum, there is no doubt about that. ”"I inherited a part of its power, and I can't use its power against it, but do you know where the most peculiar thing is?
Hal. ”Merlin gave a strange smile.He said to the Green Lantern: "Let me ask you a question first, tell me, what are the 'seven deadly sins' that you recognize?"
”"Ugh."
Merlin's question came with a bit of nonsense.Hal scratched his hair, and he quickly replied, "Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed...
Also, gluttony and lust!
”"Yes, these are the seven."
Merlin snapped his fingers and said, "Extending from these seven concepts, almost all the negative emotions of all the stars and all things can be encompassed, and the power of the three houses is also divided by these seven sources in different interpretations. ”"According to common sense, Howl, as a life form shaped by the three houses, the power I possess should also be one of the seven, no problem, right?""
Hmm."
Hal nodded in response to Merlin's inquiry.Then Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, according to this logic, something interesting happens...""
Actually, Howl, I have another name, and many people will call me 'King of Vanities' besides the Lord of Hell, Raven, and the Children of Hell.""
Do you understand?
The source power I get from the three houses is 'vanity', which does not exist in the sins of the seven deadly sins, but it is also one of the negative emotions, which also comes from the gathering of emotions of the stars and all things. ”Merlin spread his hands and said to the stunned Green Lantern, "That's what I'm looking for you for." ”"If there is a unique eighth type among the seven deadly sins, then I guess that in the spectrum of feelings that are one with the power of the three houses, there must also be a tenth type of light in addition to the seven lantern rings, as well as white and black lights, or even more.""
They must exist, I'm sure of that, because I'm a prime example of that."
Merlin flicked his finger and said to Hal, "They've always been there, but the Lampmen didn't find them, or they did, but never made the secret public...
I'm more inclined to the first guess. ”"Until a new truth is proven, the conclusion that everyone agrees on is the truth, even if it is wrong."
Leaning back on the couch, Raven said to the pensive Green Lantern, "I need a medium to intervene in the spectrum of feelings, and this has to be done in secret." ”"I can only find you on Earth, and I won't lie to you that everything will go well, in fact, I don't know what kind of changes this search for light beyond the seven lights will bring to your lamp ring...""
But I do need to do this research."
Merlin placed his interlaced fingers lightly on his upturned knees, and said to Hal, "So, the decision is yours, if you don't think it's worth the risk, I'll wash your memories away, send you off, and try your luck with the Yellow Lantern Legion, or the Red Lantern Legion." ”"But if you're willing to cooperate with me, my research will go very well..."
Merlin paused.He himself was a little puzzled, and said to Hal: "Actually, I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that I have a special familiarity with the Green Lantern Ring, as if I also have a Green Lantern Ring of mine." ”"It's just that I don't know what happened to that ring, and it hasn't been able to get into my hand."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and he calmly said to the surprised Hal, "I'm not trying to get involved with you in this way, Hal. ”"I don't need to do that, and in my life form, the doubts I feel, and my instinctive guesses, are nine times out of ten correct, do you know what I mean?"
Raven Lord smiled, and he said, "We're probably the same kind, it's just that you're already a real Green Lantern, and I, I'm just one of those who got knocked out for some reason...'
Failure'. ”"In that sense, you're much better than me."

Merlin said what seemed like a compliment, then picked up his teacup and waited patiently for Hal's answer.Hal is actually quite confused inside, and he wants to promise Merlin.On the one hand, Merlin is indeed trustworthy.On the other hand, as the same boss, Merlin's attitude towards him is very different from the attitude of the guardians on the O'a Star towards him.With Howl's bohemian prodigal character, he instinctively preferred to side with Merlin in contrasting situations.But he was still a little hesitant..."
Don't be embarrassed to talk about pay, Hal, you know I can hear your heart.You young people are thin-skinned, and when I worked at Fury's, he gave me a dollar less, and I would have begged for it back. ”"Because that's what I deserved, and it's the same now."
Merlin took a sip of his tea, and he whispered, "I'll pay you, and the kind you need so much, and you deserve it." ”"Give me a drop of your blood, and in a month at most, I'll give you a chance to be reborn.""
And seriously, you don't need this ring to be a good hero, after all, it's just a tool to become a hero, not a replacement for the hero itself."
Raven stood up and patted Hal on the shoulder, saying, "The biggest problem you face right now is that you always think that the ring chose you, and it's wrong!"
”"Big mistake!""
Remember, Howl, you chose it.""
You chose to be a hero and embarked on this path...
The appearance of the ring just provides you with more possibilities in life. ”"Alright, let's rest in the mystery house tonight, or go home and think about it.""
I'm waiting for your reply
