"I heard that you are on vacation?"
Fury's voice followed Icarus' built-in voice module, between skin contact, in Merlin's ear, and on the lens in front of Merlin's eyes, he could see sitting in the office, dealing with daily affairs Secretary.
He was expressionless, like Merlin’s expression every time he saw him, which represented Fury’s mood, not very good or bad.
"Yes, I'm on vacation, only one day."
Merlin hugged his cat, and his figure was mixed among a group of tourists entering the Parthenon. In the morning sun, there were not many tourists in this famous historical attraction.
While looking at the surrounding landscape and the absent-minded security personnel, he used Icarus' environmental scanning function to find his goal.
He said to Fury:
"The situation at Sulphur Port is getting better every day. With the support of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce and the monsters, our census and information registration work for that city has begun quickly. The prisoners of the black wizards have also been batched. After being sent to Canada's Forbidden Demon Prison, everything is improving, so I decided to take a day off. Is there a problem? Fury."
"No, no problem."
Fury said:
"I just wanted to tell you that I just sent Pierce away. He came to put pressure on me again. What you did in Sulphur Port is in line with his appetite. He praised you as the real executor and guardian of human social order, In fact, if it were not for me to know that you are not related by blood, I would even consider you to be a relative of Pierce or something."
"He praises you like he praises his son... makes me feel a bit numb."
"So?"
Merlin asked:
"You and I all know that Chief Pierce does occasionally use emotions as if he had bypassed the rules many times in support of SHIELD's actions."
"Yes, I know he will."
Fury rubbed his forehead with a headache, he said:
"But the bad news I want to tell you is that I can't stand the pressure he puts on me... get ready to get promoted, Merlin. Maybe next month, or next month, the award order will be sent In your hands, you will be promoted to level 9, and then leave SDOLD and enter the top management."
"I have told Hill to start preparing an office for you. Your future functions and powers at the headquarters are still under discussion, but what I can tell you is that you should still be responsible for heterogeneous and supernatural affairs related fields. After all, you Is an expert in this area."
"It's too fast, Fury."
Merlin frowned and said:
"You should know that this is not a good time."
"I know, but Pierce has started accusing me of playing trickery and suppressing heroes."
Fury said:
"You didn't see the scene just now, the old man almost fought me... In short, this matter is not negotiable. If we don't want to push Pierce further, I will give you a month to arrange Take a look at the follow-up affairs of SDOLD, reset the organizational structure after you left, and report to me the ministers and commanders you recommended."
"In addition, don’t worry about your department going wrong. Pierce and I mentioned that he also agreed to place SDOLD in your management area, that is to say, it is still your direct department, as long as you want, no one Can insert hands into it."
"I am, and I am not, are two concepts, Fury."
Merlin says:
"I’m not worried about their administrative ability, I’m worried about their execution and deterrence...but you’re right, I can’t keep them going, so, at the end of this month, we really start to change 'Plan it.'
"Don't you say that the ritual has the possibility of further improvement?"
Fury asked:
"Successful in-depth research?"
"No, my researcher is still trying to simplify it day and night. She has successfully found a replacement for the neutralizer, but the overall simplification of the ritual is not so easy. This is a long-term job."
Merlin says:
"However, before I leave, I want to maximize the strength of SDOLD in terms of force. It is very necessary to deal with aliens and armed deterrence. First, carry out a transformation ceremony, and then wait until Lilian completes the simplification of the ceremony, and then follow Conversion."
"can."
Fury said:
"This time, how many people do you plan to convert?"
"Probably around 60-80 agents."
Merlin pushed the glasses, he said:
"Counting them on Coulson, it's exactly the size of 2 teams, which has temporarily ensured that they can independently handle sudden S-level incidents."
"Well, submit the plan to me these days and I will approve it."
Fury on the glasses picked up the glass. While drinking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. He said:
"There is one more thing. As a leader in charge of a module, you may need a think tank. I mean, when you come to the headquarters, you should have at least an assistant. Are you looking for yourself, or do I have one for you? "
"Of course it would be better if you could bring Hill over."
Merlin joked:
"I recognize her ability to work."
"Don't even think about it."
Fury quickly refused:
"Transfer Hill to your office, my working system is almost paralyzed... Besides, Hill knows too many secrets, she is not suitable to leave the secretary's office. And the little between you two Gossip... this is not appropriate."
"You know that the relationship between me and Hill is purely a friend. Don't spread the defamation out of nothing...well, I'll think about it again."
Merlin says:
"I may choose one of Coulson, Melinda and Sharon to go to the headquarters with me. I will give you an answer next week at the latest."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your news."
Fury said:
"And, enjoy the vacation."
"Well, see you next week, Fury."
Merlin hung up the communication, and on another lens of Icarus, near the ruins of the Parthenon, an obscure staff lounge hundreds of meters away was locked.
In the enlarged image of Icarus, the door lock of the seemingly abandoned lounge matches the outline of the bronze key in Merlin's hand.
Merlin hugged the cat and walked quietly towards the door, but when approaching it, he was stopped by a staff member. He looked at the cat in Merlin's hand, and then at Merlin. He said:
"Sorry, sir, this is the staff rest area, you can't..."
"No, I can."
Merlin's fingers were gently pinched, and under the influence of Axifal, there was a hint of temptation in his voice. He said:
"You should know that I have sufficient authority to enter any area here, right? Sir."
The security personnel in front of Merlin's eyes froze for a moment, then nodded quickly. He respectfully said to Merlin:
"Yes, sir, everything here is open to you."
"Very good, don't tell anyone I've been."
Merlin hugged and walked towards the door without anyone, he said:
"Go to work."
Behind him, the security officer turned around and continued to maintain order.
"Click"
Instead of using the key, Merlin threw out an unlocking spell. In the sound of the impact of several gears, this disguised door was opened. There was a utility room with many things stacked. It seems that no one has been here for a long time. After that, the debris was even covered with dust.
Merlin closed the door, and he stood in the dark. In the scanned image of Icarus' environment, he quickly discovered that it was blocked by debris and led to the underground, like a sewer.
His figure quickly turned into black smoke, which rolled the cooing in it. The two people easily entered the downward passage without moving any debris.
This is not a sewer, but a downward-rotating ladder. From the perspective of the material of the ladder, it should be a very old area. It may be a building of the same period as the Parthenon, but I don’t know why, but it was It's closed, and the upper channel has been completely welded to death. It looks like it was hidden artificially.
This made Merlin smell secret.
He went all the way down, along the passage in the dark, and finally came to an underground cave, beside the water hole of the cave, there was a broken statue.
But there is no one here.
"So, do you have to wait?"
Merlin glanced left and right. He saw a vague sign of the Brotherhood of Assassins on the wall on the other side of the waterhole, but according to the stripped off rocks, this cave had not been visited for at least a few decades, but Before that, this should be a stronghold of the Assassin Brotherhood.
"Wait then."
Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, he said to the mutter in his arms:
"We still have 17 hours to wait. After 17 hours, the vacation is over and we should go home."
"Meow"
Grumbling and boring, he jumped from Merlin's arms and ran to the waterhole. He looked at the fish wandering the tail carefreely in the waterhole. The cat seemed interested.
It began to pat the water, it seems to intend to catch fish to taste.
Merlin leaned against the broken statue, and a ray of light oozed out from between the stone cracks above, bringing the only light to the dark cave.
He picked up the magic book and flipped it through.
Although it has successfully released a super-magic spell of the ancient body, but after all, it is in the special environment of the border of hell. If you want to release this magic in the three-dimensional world, Merlin needs to continue to study this book. Find the special state and feeling when you cast a spell at the border of hell, so that you can rely on your own ability to enter the simulated "super-dimensional" state.
This is not simple, in fact, it is difficult.
All magic related to time will be difficult, but the ancient body has almost invincible strong defense at this stage, so Merlin can not discard this spell.
When studying, time always passes quickly. When Merlin was awakened by a sound from the darkness, it was already a few hours later.
He put away the magic book, looked at the source of the sound, and found that under the waterhole that was likely to lead to the seaside, a few guys in black swimsuits and with packages on their backs entered the cave from the front view.
This made Merlin think he had met the Lord, but after a short observation, he frowned.
These are ordinary people...
The one with the strongest breath is just the level of a general agent.
This made Merlin somewhat sceptical, that these ordinary people sent him a box suspected of alien technology? Are these ordinary people quietly putting the Assassin Brotherhood badge on the head of Bruce Wayne?
No, it's impossible.
Unless Bruce drank a piece that night, otherwise these people's ability to hide, they do not even want to break through the outer walls of Wayne Manor.
But if these people have nothing to do with the Brotherhood of Assassins, how did they find this ancient cave that Merlin felt so hidden?
This matter is full of doubts.
Merlin decided to wait and see.
"Goo"
Merlin called, and immediately raised his head when he was nibbling the fish. He jumped into Merlin's arms between his limbs. The next moment, as Merlin's fingers touched the shadow blade whip around his waist, one person and one cat were there. The shadow disappears invisible.
The blade whip named
Shadow
left by Dracula has all kinds of magical effects, but Merlin has a short time to start, he has not yet fully discovered the effect of this blade whip, but at present it is certain that it can stimulate Shadow activity.
Not the ordinary shadow, but the real "shadow", a magical power.
When wearing it, Merlin's shadow cloak effect will be greatly improved, as if it really disappeared in the real dimension.
"Leila, how did you find this place?"
In the dark, a man’s voice sounded. While taking some instruments from behind, he slender to another slender, but muscular woman said:
"Is this also the inheritance of the Brotherhood?"
"That's right."
The woman like a leader said casually:
"It existed in the ancient Greek era. I found it in the memory of Ms. Cassandra, and in the memory of other masters of the Assassins, it was still used at the latest until the Second World War, but later because of some It was abandoned for other reasons."
"other reasons?"
The man asked again:
"The Templar?"
"Yes, Templars, they were looking for fragments of Eden in Greece at that time, and they almost found this place. Our predecessors fled with the fragments, but the secrets here are kept... etc., Myers! Be careful, there are people here!"
"Huh? There?"
The man drew a short sword from his waist and looked around with caution, while the woman with a short broken spear crossed the water pool lightly. She looked at the pile of leftover fish bones at her feet. She said:
"It's still fresh, it should be... some kind of creature, a cat? Or..."
Hearing the woman’s guess, Merlin glanced down at the coo in his arms, and the orange cat looked at Merlin, his eyes full of innocent, as if to say, what can I do? I'm just a harmless kitten.
"Ok."
Merlin appeared quietly from the shadows. During Beowulf's rapid activity, the hazy long-beaked crow mask and the matching black cloak appeared on Merlin's body again, making him look mysterious and dark.
He coughed a little and startled the ordinary people who were vigilant in the cave. He looked at the few people in front of him and looked at the bright but meaningless weapons in their hands. He said in a hoarse voice :
"I'll confirm...you guys first."
"There should not be an ancient demigod in disguise, right?"
"You claim to be the inheritance of the Brotherhood, but it is so weak, can I think that, mysteriously, the inheritance of the ancient Brotherhood of Assassins did not act in the modern secrecy, but it has really withered away in time?"
