Elliott Randolph is undoubtedly a cunning guy.
He spotted Merlin's situation, and after the Angry Spear, he threw a bait to Merlin to urge Merlin to fulfill his entrustment more actively.
According to him, the mysterious thing that was left in the Nordic region in the 8th century AD was related to Thor, the Thor in Nordic mythology. That represents a higher level of existence than the angry spear.
Of course, Merlin can refuse this temptation, but Randolph will not lose anything.
He can use this news to hire others.
To complete Randolph's request, Merlin first had to find a way to contact Asgard. As long as the problem was resolved, the rest would be simple.
It’s just sending a message. It’s nothing more than a distance. It’s just that Asgard is hard to find.
Merlin would soon stop thinking about this issue, because it was useless to think about it. This thing was completely a matter of luck to him, and his luck, to be honest, has not been very good.
After finding the treasure, Merlin did not leave Spain again with a shifting spell. Instead, he drove leisurely in the rented car along the highway from Seville to Lyon. It took 2 days, just like real Like a traveler on vacation, he returned to Lyon and flew from there to Paris.
This is the last day of his vacation.
He wants to have a meal with his old friends in Paris, chat, and then return to New York to prepare for work.
In the afternoon, Merlin walked into a restaurant in Paris, not far from the office area of SHIELD’s European branch. When Merlin was seconded to the European branch a few years ago, he often resolved his own For dinner, he is very familiar with this area.
When Merlin walked into the restaurant, he saw the figure of his old friend Gattler at a glance.
The guy was sitting at the dining table in the corner, holding the menu, speaking fluent French, and talking to the waiter.
Merlin walked over, and Gattler also noticed the friend behind him. This old cowboy, who looked a lot younger, stood up with a smile and gave Merlin a hug.
"I haven't seen you for years, kid Merlin."
Garrett let Merlin go. He looked Merlin up and down, and said eloquently:
"Well, it's a little taller than in the past few years, and it seems to relax a lot. Look at your smile, it seems that you have encountered some happy things. Yes, just smile more, this is what young people should have. Gesture."
"young?"
Merlin shook his head. He was sitting on the chair opposite Gattler. He picked up the glass and said to the old cowboy:
"I'm 30 years old...how can't be young."
"You're only 30, the days are still long."
Although they haven’t seen each other for several years, there seems to be no stranger between them. Garrett said to Merlin in front of him with a kind of coming tone:
"You have to find a wife while you still have energy. Look at you. Since I met you, you have been a person. Until now, you have become a commander like me, but still One person... this is not good, Merlin, we are right in secret work, but we also need to have our own lives."
"Your family has a crazy sailor, and it won't drift forever."
"You are annoying, Butler."
Merlin seemed reluctant to discuss this issue, and while drinking water, he said:
"Just like the chattering old men. When did you start to care about my life? Speaking, didn't you tell me last time, are you going to chase the mixed-race female nurse? What is her name?"
"Liv."
A strange smile appeared on Gattler's face, and Shi Shiran extended his finger and waved at Merlin.
Merlin only noticed that Gattler had a golden ring on his left hand.
"No, do you really play with her?"
Merlin said "out of panic":
"You will be sucked dry by her!"
"Don't make trouble, do you think I'm like a young man like you, always indulge in sensuality?"
Butler said dissatisfiedly:
"Lifu and I are spiritual partners. You won't understand until you are younger. Of course, we won't get married. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. I will be an old man for at least another 30 years. Fu will always be young, I am just a traveler in her life."
"So, enjoying the moment is the most important thing."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Merlin put down the glass, he looked at Butler, he said:
"Remember the thing I told you on the phone? The mutation experiment that my wizard friend studied... If you participated in the project and the experiment was successful, you can not only get rid of the bad things in your body completely The life support instrument can also have a longer lifespan than ordinary people. I mean, enough for you to spend the whole life with your wives wife."
"You can enjoy life together, grow old together, and even have your own children, watching the children grow up slowly."
"you are serious?"
After listening to Merlin, Butler's expression was a little weird. He pondered for a moment and looked at Merlin:
"I thought you were kidding...but before I make a decision, I want to ask, why would you choose me? I mean, if it is a wizard's experiment, then he should not lack the experiment."
"Because among the people I know, you have urgent needs, and your will is firm enough."
Merlin said calmly to Butler:
"My friend told me that the experimental body needed for this experiment must have a firm will, Gattler, you can't imagine how painful the process of that experiment was. I once watched it once. In my opinion, it is simply called Torture like torture."
"You will suffer a more terrible pain than a knife and axe in a week. Those mutant substances will destroy your body first, and then use a different kind of inducer to reshape the extraordinary body. You will be destroyed, Then get reborn in pain."
"It is impossible for a weak person to survive the experiment, and it is difficult for a person without urgent needs to make up his mind to lie down on the wizard's experimental bench."
Merlin picked up the glass and drank the last sip of water. He looked at the waiter who came over with a big meal not far away. He said to Gattler:
"You helped me, Gattler, and I will help you too. But I'm not sure if this is the help you need. I most likely want to send you to a tortured hell, so I must ask you Views."
"Let’s eat first."
Garrett did not immediately answer Merlin's question. He picked up the knife and fork and smiled at Merlin:
"I can understand your kindness, but I need to think about it."
"This is natural."
Merlin nodded, he said:
"You have enough time to consider, I will wait for your news."
The food in this restaurant is quite good. The fish soup that came up last made the index finger move. Merlin and Gattler talked while eating, and it seemed that they were not affected by the things just now.
At the end of this happy lunch for the host and guest, Merlin asked while enjoying the final dessert:
"When you called before, you said you also found some news about the inner ghost?"
"Yes, there are some."
Butler cut the dessert slightly rudely. While cutting, he said without looking up:
"A few months ago, I took agents and destroyed a stronghold of the Ten Rings in Marseille. I found some information. Did you know that the Ten Rings tried to form an alliance with the traitors inside us?"
"This, I really don't know."
Merlin frowned and put down the knife and fork, he said:
"Tell me in detail."
"Well, that was after you were sent back to New York."
Gattler said:
"The Ten Command gang sent a representative to lobby some "friends", but it seems to have been rejected. After a big change inside the CIA, they stepped up their penetration into North America, but suffered a failure. I mean, not just Rui is sniping at them. The traitors inside us seem to be happy to see the Ten Rings blocked from the borders of North America."
"At least in dealing with the Ten Commandments, those guys seem to be on the same front as us."
"They just worry that the arrival of the Ten Commandments will hinder their plans."
Merlin said disdainfully:
"Fighting a bad guy doesn't mean they are good people. This is just a dog biting a dog."
"indeed."
Gattler's eyes narrowed. He said:
"It's true. But Merlin, although I don't know much, I can also feel that the hidden guys are dangerous. I mean, you don't have to participate in these things at all, just let Fury do it. , Don’t you believe in his ability?"
"I believe Fury, but I can't let go of this."
Merlin looked at the dessert on the plate and he said softly:
"They killed my family, they intervened in all kinds of things, they were making waves... I have entered this storm, and I will not quit until the storm has completely subsided. In fact, I quite enjoy hunting The feeling of killing them."
"Ah... family."
Butler sighed and said:
"Indeed, you have no reason to withdraw. You are not the kind of person who will escape, but Merlin, I still want to persuade you, SHIELD to you and me, is a job...you have to understand, Life is our own. Sometimes, a job does not mean that we have to take our own life to take risks."
"You can understand what you mean, Butler."
Merlin shrugged and said:
"I will protect myself."
Speaking of which, Merlin raised his wrist and looked at the time, he said to Gattler:
"The meal was very pleasant, Butler, but I should go."
"Is it so urgent?"
Butler stood up and said to Merlin:
"I'm also going to invite you to sit at my house. Maybe you should meet Liv."
"Forget this time."
Merlin says:
"I'll definitely visit the house next time. It's mainly because I have a little personal affairs to deal with...I just touched a snake nest, and I had to take advantage of them before they escaped."
"Oh, is that so?"
A light flashed in Gattler's eyes, and he said with a smile:
"Since there is something to be busy, I won't keep you. You kid, next time you come to Europe, you must tell me in advance."
"Well, sure!"
Merlin waved farewell to Gattler, who watched Merlin walk out of the restaurant and turn into an alley.
The old cowboy didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat in a restaurant chair, got out his cell phone, and dialed a number.
After a while, the phone was connected, and a calm, hoarse voice came from the microphone:
"What's matter?"
No address, no greetings, the person opposite asked questions directly. But Gartler seems to be used to this kind of headless and endless words, he said indifferently:
"It's no big deal, I just want to ask, how is the "Death Warrior Project" going? How long will it take before I can see the finished product?"
"That takes time...please be patient."
"You use this sentence to scorn me every time."
Gattler said blankly:
"I have always been patient, but I will not be deceived casually. I need a time, a specific time."
"According to the current progress, it may take 5 years."
The man replied:
"The outer metal warframe has encountered a technical bottleneck, and the physical strengthening project is progressing very slowly. This is not what we can decide. The incubation and development of technology takes time. You can only wait patiently.
"5 years?"
Gattler chuckled and said:
"After 5 years I will be 50 years old...you say I am a 50-year-old man, what are you still pursuing? I have been waiting for you for 10 years... and then you tell me that I have to wait another 5 years , Or even longer... to be honest, I don’t want to wait any longer."
"So, what do you mean by making this call? Do you put pressure on me?"
"No, I just asked, I wanted to get the answer, but all I got was disappointment as always."
Butler sighed and said:
"Sorry, bother."
After he finished speaking, he pressed the hang up button, and did not tell the man across the phone the terrible news he had received.
The seemingly tough organization kept disappointing him...
Perhaps, they should also let them taste the disappointment.
"I really got on a broken ship... it's time to prepare myself for a back path."
Gattler leaned back in his chair. He closed his eyes and reached out to stroke his lower back, where there was a cold touch of metal.
"Merlin, good friend... will you let me down?"
"You, can you pull me out of this quagmire?"
"Maybe...maybe I should give you a little help, but not now, the time has not yet come."
"Ah... difficult decision."
