This secret teaches Matt that the old man is strong.
At least in terms of fighting, he is not weaker than Merlin, pure swordsmanship may have surpassed Merlin.
He can completely block the sword dance, which also proves that his reaction speed and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people. Unfortunately, in the face of Merlin who does not follow the routine and plays with the black mist, the old man is still defeated.
"Don't hurt him, Merlin."
Matt completely "listened" to the fighting process. After the old man was bound by the black fog, Matt begged:
"He has been helping me."
"help you?"
Merlin put away his half sword, and he said to Matt:
"If you want to learn these fighting skills, you can come to me, you should know that I am also good at fighting. In my heart, you have always been a very wise child, but why this time is so reckless?"
"Do you know who he is? Do you know his name? Most importantly, do you know that he is close to your purpose?"
Matt, who was asked by a series of questions from Merlin, was speechless. He reached out and rubbed the child's head. He said:
"Look, you don't know anything, Matt."
Merlin says:
"You are doing a very dangerous thing, playing with a dangerous beast, its kindness does not mean that it will not protrude its claws and tear you..."
He looked back at the old man who was bound by the black mist and could not move. He said:
"A weapon master, it's very rare. I'll ask you again, what are you doing in New York? What is the purpose of being close to Matt?"
"I just don't want to see this child's talent being wasted."
The old man trapped in the air finally spoke, he said in that hoarse and low voice:
"He kept a treasure and could not open it. He lost his light, but was given a more precious gift. I was just helping him open it."
"That's Matt's business!"
Merlin says:
"Whether to fight, to learn to fight, or to open up potential, it is up to the child to decide. When will you stubborn understand that there are many ways to spend your life... Use your twisted outlook on life to influence my children!"
"He agreed."
The old man said:
"I asked him, he confirmed."
"He is just a child!"
Merlin says:
"What does he know? Are you also a child? Don't you know how dangerous the superhuman world is? You bastard, you are trying to pull this child into that world..."
Merlin held out his hand, and a cloud of mist jumped into a sharp flying knife in his hand. He said tentatively:
"Maybe, I should kill you here."
"No!"
Matt opened his arms and stood in front of the old man. He said:
"Merlin, don't... he saved me, you told me, people have to learn to show mercy."
"How did he save you?"
Merlin says:
"Tell me everything."
"A few months ago, on the way to the church, I encountered a gun battle between the Russian gang and the Irish gang. When the police came, I was held hostage by the bastards. It was the stickman who jumped in from the window and knocked out the gunmen Saved me."
Matt said:
"He’s like me, he’s blind with super hearing. I’m curious how he uses this kind of hearing, so I asked him for advice. He didn’t want to teach me. Later I found him several times before he Agree."
"Is that so?"
Merlin glanced at Matt, and then at the old man who didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, then waved his shadow to eliminate the flying knife. He said to the old man in front of him:
"Then maybe I should thank you for saving my child."
"Uh"
The entangled black mist dissipated at this moment, and the mysterious stick man rolled in the air and landed on the ground steadily.
He picked up his broken knife and "looked" at Merlin. He said:
"I will leave... There is a swordsman like you beside him. If he wants to learn, he can follow you."
"You better leave."
Merlin said with a hint of warning:
"I don’t want to see you appearing next to Matt again. You are a trouble-rider. I can see it at a glance. I don’t want you to involve Matt in your troubles. This child’s life is already miserable. Now."
Stickman nodded, he "looked" at Matt, then retreated silently into the darkness, and soon disappeared into the warehouse.
After confirming that Gumman left, Merlin looked back at Matt. He sighed, squatted down, and said to Matt:
"Why do you want to learn this? Don't you want to be a lawyer? A lawyer can't use a knife...the lawyer's mouth is the sharpest knife in the world."
"I want to find those who killed my father."
Matt said frankly to Merlin:
"I want to find them..."
"and then?"
Merlin asked:
"Then what are you going to do? Use your stick to kill them? Just as if they killed your father, then you will kill them yourself? No, that's wrong, Matt."
"It's easy to get blood on your hands, but it's hard to wash off that blood. Revenge will lead to new revenge. After all, you will involve everyone around you in all this."
He focused on the children in front of him with a long heart:
"Listen to me, you have to believe that there are rules and orders in this world. You can become a lawyer and be part of these rules. Use the power of the rules to send the bad guys to prison and give them the punishment they deserve. I believe you can do it, you can find a way to avenge your hands without getting your hands dirty."
"But what if it can't be done?"
Matt said softly:
"In the past few months, I heard a lot of things... Merlin, that boarding school is next to the court, I heard a lot of... The darkness hidden under the law, there are always people who cannot be sanctioned by the law, they You can always find loopholes in the law. They are powerful and they will not be punished."
"Then tell me."
Merlin patted Matt on the shoulder. He said:
"Bad guys are bad guys, wrong things are wrong things, they may be able to find loopholes in the rules, but as long as they have evil secrets, they should be punished."
"I can punish them, I can put them in jail, so that they don’t think about it forever... this is the game of hunters and prey. If you become a powerful lawyer in the future, I believe that you can eventually Send those criminals where they should go, I never doubt this."
Merlin stood up. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He said:
"I hope you can also believe in your own future and ability, and do not need to rely on violence to solve problems, that is the best way."
"Okay, go home, otherwise Elsa will be worried. Also, don't mix up with people of unknown origin like Choushu... this is not a good thing."
"Ok"
Ma nodded his head characteristically. Instead of refuting, he followed Merlin and left the warehouse.
After they returned home, Merlin did not tell others about these things. He kept Matt's secret. Everyone had their own secret, and the secret should be well protected.
The next day, in the airport waiting room, wearing a denim suit and wearing sunglasses, Eric waited for his girlfriend. He soon saw a shadow in the crowd.
Compared with some jerky gestures a few years ago, the young girl Charlie who is about to graduate now has become a real big girl.
She was wearing a very fashionable light blue skirt, wearing sunglasses, carrying a handbag, and walking, just like a model with a full aura.
"Eric, you are not going..."
Charlie walked over to Eric. She wanted to ask Eric about going home, but before her words were finished, Eric hugged him face to face.
He hugged tightly, and Charlie also felt the change in Eric's temperament. She didn't ask anything, but patted Eric's back, she said:
"What's wrong? Like a child."
"It's nothing."
Eric buried his head on Charlie's shoulder, he said softly:
"I just, I miss you... Suddenly I miss, Charlie, after you graduate... Let's get married, I want to have my own family, I want to have my own children, I want to have my own life."
"Okay."
Charlie brushed her curly hair, she said:
"As long as Merlin agrees... he's theoretically, but our two common guardians."
"He will agree."
Eric helped Charlie take the handbag. The two went out of the airport and got into Merlin's car. Eric drove to the home of Aunt Mei in Queens and handed a ring to Charlie. He said:
"Bring this, and it will protect you when I am away."
"Yo, ring."
Charlie took the heavy ring, she looked at it in her hand, and then said to Eric:
"Did you give me a ritual when you gave me the ring? Is this too casual?"
"This is not a wedding ring..."
Eric said:
"Oh, yes, I got a new identity these days...Although it may not be used in North America, maybe you will be Prince Wakanda after a few years."
"what?"
Charlie's eyes widened and she asked with some daze:
"What is Mrs. Prince? What are you talking about?"
"me."
Eric pointed to himself and said:
"My brother promised me that after he succeeds to the throne, he will return my father's title to me...my father is the prince of Wakanda and there are several estates in Wakanda. Of course, it is just an honor. The title is just, there is no real power, let alone, we will not live there long."
"This is too sudden."
Charlie frowned and said:
"Wait, you are a prince... will I have a crown? The prince also has a crown, right?"
"Uh, there is no crown on Wakanda."
Eric said:
"But if you want, I can help you make one with Zhenjin at your disposal... Techara said that I can freely control the Zhenjin. This is more valuable than any diamond."
"forget it."
Charlie snorted. She stretched out five fingers and looked at the ring on her finger. She said:
"It's too heavy. I don't want it. It's nice to live so easily."
"Yeah, it's good to live a relaxed life."
Eric echoed the sentence and concentrated on driving. After more than 30 minutes, they returned to May's house. When Charlie pushed the door open, a group of people were singing birthday songs for Peter.
Lorna and Ruiwen lay on the sofa lazily with a clown's pointed hat, and occupied the entire sofa with a tiger-like dragon plate, like a king in their own territory.
But it was replaced with a very festive red dress, which looked a little funny.
Merlin hugs Peter Peter, May and Elsa with round-frame glasses are preparing cakes and lunches, Matt and Daisy are wiping the table, and the invited Johnsons are sitting on chairs and chatting with the more blessed Ben God, they looked at this scene with a smile on their faces.
Ah, this is the feeling of home and family.
Eric shrugged, and he confirmed again that this was the life he wanted.
The prince or something, and the political struggles related to his father, let them go to hell!
"that's nice."
Charlie put down her bag, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to join the birthday party in front of her.
Next to her, Eric snorted and said:
"Yes, it's great."
After Eric’s affairs were over, Merlin returned to his daily work again. It was only a few days before the radical mutant cleanup operation was about to begin. He had to make sure that everything was ready at the last time.
After Peter’s birthday party ended the next week’s weekend, while Merlin was preparing to go to work, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
When Merlin stepped forward and opened the door, he saw a black girl in a casual shirt and shorts, carrying a large bag, wearing sunglasses, and a few salutes beside her feet, standing in front of him.
"Su Rui?"
Merlin looked at the uninvited Princess Wakanda in surprise. He asked doubtfully:
"What are you doing here? And what about these salutes? Are you running away from home? What about your brother?"
"Ah, Mr. Merlin."
Princess Su Rui opened her arms with excitement, she said to Merlin:
"I'm an adult, I'm out to travel..."
"In the next 5 years, I will study for a Ph.D. at Columbia University. I always have to find a place to live, and it's not too conspicuous. I don't want to reveal my identity, which will be very troublesome."
"So thinking about it, I decided to live with you, and my cousin is here, right?"
The ghostly and clever princess patted Merlin's shoulder very well. She said:
"Don't worry, I will pay the rent... Also, can you bring me the salute in?"
