Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 445

A few days later, Merlin returned to New York to spend the weekend with his family.

He took his younger sisters to his cousin's house for a meal, and then on the weekend afternoon, he sent Raven and Lorna back to Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters, sent Matt to the boarding school, and in the evening, took Going out for a run, he passed by the place before the House of Blood. Between the two buildings there, there was no longer the small shop selling all kinds of magic items.

This made Merlin feel a little lost.

He and his cat came home, and after preparing dinner and supper for Gu Gu Gu, Merlin sat on the sofa and read a book.

There were a lot of things during this period of time, but Merlin did not let go of his study of magic because of this. Merlin had already understood the super-difficult super-order spell, the principle of Hogarth's ancient body casting spells, and he had also memorized the spell itself thoroughly. Now there is only one opportunity...an opportunity to let his mind break away from the three-dimensional world, so that he can sense higher dimensions.

Only in that case is it possible for him to release this super defensive magic.

And once the first spell casting is successful and the mana model is successfully shaped, the subsequent spell casting can also proceed smoothly after falling back into the three-dimensional world.

This kind of ultra-level spell is so troublesome.

Compared with other magics that can be mastered only by spending time and energy, super-level magic is more about a kind of resignation.

When fate comes, everything will fall into place.

If the fate is not enough, no matter how hard you force it, you can't understand it, you can't grasp it.

One person and one cat stayed in a quiet room until the clock on the wall passed 10 o'clock in the night. Merlin put down the magic book in the book on time like a robot. He stood up, moved his body, and stretched out his hand for the sapphire necklace around his neck With a light touch, the blue, half-face mask covered his face.

"Swish"

Merlin's figure disappeared in the light of the Displacement Curse, and when he reappeared, he came to Tony Stark's mansion on the coast of California.

He stood in front of the door and looked at the luxury villa built on the edge of the sea cliff in front of him. This house was more than 10 times larger than his house, with a huge swimming pool and palm trees. At night, the lights under the trees Lighting up, coupled with the lighting in the villa, makes this luxurious residence look like a palace in light.

Merlin could feel that there were many people in the villa in front of him.

A lot of bodyguards are patrolling around, and there are various defensive equipment, infrared detection, cameras, etc. around the villa, which makes it impossible for ordinary people to invade here.

However, considering that the young and flamboyant Tony Stark is already one of the wealthiest people in the world, such defensive measures are not too much.

Merlin moved his fingers, put on the shadow cloak, took a step forward, and disappeared quietly into the lighted night.

He entered the mansion through the open window on the third floor and spread out his perception. There are many metal objects in this mansion, but fortunately, the thing Merlin was looking for was not ordinary.

In fact, there are many, many stories to tell about Captain America's legendary shield.

What is certain now is that part of the vibrating gold in that shield and other very rare metals together form an extremely special alloy, which gives the shield decorated with stars a rare quality.

It is said that the atoms in the shield are always in a static state, which makes the pure hardness of the shield even surpass that of vibrating metal, and it can effectively absorb energy and protect the user.

But the birth of such an excellent alloy came from an accident.

When Captain America first appeared, Dr. Erkins, who copied and presided over the super soldier project, was assassinated by German agents. As a result, only Steve, a successful experimenter, appeared in this project. Super soldiers that cannot be produced in batches are meaningless , so for a while, Captain America was used as a mascot by the Department of Defense and toured all over North America to help sell war bonds.

That is a rare black history of Captain America, but he finally followed his inner guidance and joined the battlefield. He successfully rescued hundreds of captured soldiers in the first battle, and his legend really began from that battle.

And a powerful super soldier who can be called a leader must have his own unique equipment. Therefore, the Ministry of National Defense summoned Howard Stark, Nathaniel and other outstanding scientists to customize equipment for Steve. .

Among these scientists, there was a chemist named Marlon McLean, who was also an excellent materials scientist at that time.

He was summoned to the laboratory to select equipment materials for Steve. One day, when Dr. McLean was doing an experiment, he encountered an unexpected incident and had to rush home. As a result, after he returned to the laboratory, he It was discovered that because of his own carelessness, the expensive vibration gold was fused with some other metals by some chemical reagent made by himself.

Dr. McLean thought he was in big trouble, but then during the material testing, Howard Stark discovered that this accidentally produced metal had various peculiarities, but unfortunately, even Dr. McLean himself , he didn't know the ratio of vibrating gold and other metals, and he didn't understand what special circumstances caused the chemical reagent he made to melt vibrating gold.

This is basically impossible to do.

In short, this piece of metal was finally made into a shield, and even a smart person like Howard couldn't reproduce the same alloy, so this thing known as the world's strongest metal has become a regrettable swan song.

Since this shield contains vibrating gold, it means that it also has certain properties of vibrating gold, for example, it can shield Merlin's perception.

A few minutes later, in the basement area of ​​this mansion, Merlin sensed a "black hole" in his perception, and that should be what he was looking for.

He quickly came to the basement of Tony's mansion through the vent.

To Merlin's surprise, in this basement full of all kinds of strange sundries, the blue, white and red shield was casually thrown on a table.

Judging by the dust on its surface, this thing should have been thrown here for a long time.

Merlin shook his head. He stepped forward and reached out to pick up the somewhat heavy shield.

This thing was found by Howard Stark in the sea by accident when he was searching for Captain America, and he found it together with the cosmic Rubik's Cube that is now stored in a secret location. Unfortunately, Howard was the only one who did not find himself The trail of my friend Steve.

That was the biggest regret in the life of that smart business tycoon.

Uh, of course, judging from what Merlin has learned now, this guy Howard has hidden a lot of secrets. He may have discovered the place where Steve fell a long time ago, but he didn't dig him out by hand. Because he was frozen there.

"Not too light, not too heavy, perfectly balanced."

Merlin held the shield and made a few waving gestures. He touched the scratches on the surface of the shield, and he could feel from it how many battles this weapon had gone through with Steve Rogers that ordinary people could not imagine.

"It's really good stuff."

Merlin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He got the things, and he was ready to leave. He really didn't want to deal with the eccentric Tony Stark. However, at the moment when Merlin cast the Displacement Curse, the dim lights in the basement were suddenly dimmed by everyone. Open.

Under the light, Tony Stark in pajamas stood at the entrance of the basement with a strange firearm in his hand.

And on this handsome guy's face, there was a smug expression like a cat catching a mouse.

他 说:

"I knew you would come!"

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?"

"Ha, I got you!"

Facing the sudden appearance of Tony Stark, a trace of impatience flashed across Merlin's face, and he said to the vivid Tony in front of him:

"Stand in front of me if you have the guts to actually stand in front of me instead of letting a hologram show off in here... Tony, you coward!"

"I'm still on vacation in Morocco right now."

Seeing that his holographic projection was seen through, Tony Stark put down the gun he was using to frighten Merlin. He yawned and said to Merlin:

"But I have some 'little presents' for you."

The holographic image chuckled, looked down at the shield in Merlin's hand, and said slowly:

"Do you know that casually walking into other people's homes and taking away their belongings is called 'stealing'! And stealing needs to be punished!"

"I'm just getting back something for a man."

Merlin slowly pulled out an electric discharge paralysis device hidden there from the back of the round shield, and with the force of his fingers, the gadget hidden by Tony was crushed in the dancing of sparks.

He looked at Tony's hologram, and he said:

"You're just keeping it for him."

"That was made by my father."

Tony said fiercely:

"It's my father's legacy, but you want to steal it, Agent Merlin, you're such a villain!"

"You can say what you want."

Merlin ignored the flamboyant holographic projection. He turned around and was about to leave, but just as the Shifting Curse was activated again, Tony behind him suddenly snapped his fingers. In an instant, the hidden energy restraint devices around the basement were activated. The disordered energy used in all directions is like a net, and Merlin is tightly netted in it.

The light of the transfer spell that had just been lit up also dissipated at Merlin's fingertips due to the energy chaos.

"You don't want to leave until you explain what happened that night in 1992!"

Tony's holographic projection stood outside the energy radiation circle with his arms akimbo, and he said to Merlin:

"I have the right to know the truth of that matter...Agent Merlin, tell me."

Merlin stretched out his fingers, and just as a trace of mist escaped from the fingertips, it was "pressed" back to the surface of the skin by the rolling energy.

This bastard also made this energy restraint device specifically for his ability.

Merlin could feel that the faster the magic in his body boiled, the stronger the suppressed energy around him was. When he tried to release the magic, the pressure from those energies was like carrying a mountain on his back.

"Don't try."

Tony looked at the wand that Merlin was waving, and he said confidently:

"These controllers are connected to the nearby power station. Unless your magic power can exceed the full power of that large power station, you will not be able to break free. I spent 2 months designing this thing, just to Wait for this moment...it's a 'mousetrap' made just for you."

"But I don't mean to hurt you, Mr. Merlin."

Tony changed his gentle tone again, and he sincerely said to Merlin:

"All I want is an answer. As a son of man, I want to know the truth about the death of my parents. People, I want to know, I also have the right to decide my own way of life, and I also have the right to know the truth."

"Then you should do it differently, Tony."

Merlin sighed, he withdrew his magic power, and while moving his shoulders, there was white smoke, high-temperature gas like burning smoke escaping from his hair and neck.

He took off his glasses, the light in his eyes danced more violently, his voice became hoarse, and he warned:

"Turn it off immediately!"

"Otherwise, don't want this beautiful house of yours!"

"What are you doing?"

Tony's holographic projection seemed a little flustered at this moment, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, and he screamed:

"The energy in your body is rising exponentially, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"click"

The silver-white halberd of anger jumped into Merlin's palm, and at this moment an overwhelmed crack appeared on the ground of the basement of Tony's mansion. Merlin, who was entangled in the black mist, laughed, and said expressionlessly:

"What should I do?"

"It's very simple, remove your 'trap', and remove your house by the way... Then I will go to Morocco to find you."

"This time, you really pissed me off, and this time, no other Ms. Carter can save you."

"Give you a piece of advice, run away, Tony, once I catch you, I will definitely break your leg!"

"boom"

A scaled cow's hoof protruded from the black mist and rubbed against the floor of Tony's basement. At this moment, the whole house above Merlin's head seemed to shake.

After the semi-demonization, the energy in Merlin's body has reached another energy level, and the energy restraint device designed by Tony has completely failed.

Merlin waved his halberd casually, and a fiery red classic car parked in the basement was easily torn apart from the center like a paper toy.

"Okay! That's enough! Don't scratch my car, hell!"

Tony's holographic projection made a pause gesture, and the energy restraints coming from all directions disappeared immediately.

Merlin glared at him. As the black mist swirled, he quickly recovered his human form, and then disappeared in a flash of the Apparatus Curse. Ten seconds later, he reappeared, yelling with a hand in his hand, his expression Pale, Tony Stark in pajamas only.

This guy threatened a wizard, only to be captured from the other side of the world soon after.

"boom"

Merlin let go, and Tony, whose legs were weak due to long-distance teleportation, fell to the ground.

But to his surprise, Merlin didn't hit him. Instead, he stretched out his hand towards Tony who was lying on the ground, and he said expressionlessly:

"You want to know what happened that night?"

"Okay...I'll tell you."
