26. New guests at Crow's Nest

"The society of mutants is very chaotic, and it urgently needs a storm baptism of ideas and thinking."
Merlin talks about the moderate mutant leader in front of him in Professor Charles' office:
"Two attitudes in thinking, namely, you and Magneto Eric, the gentle and radical views you represent, will further tear your social status."
“Race unity needs to start with ideological unity, and now Magneto has failed, which is an excellent opportunity for moderates.”
Merlin bounced his fingers, and he said to the professor without any personal emotions:
"I'm actually not used to this way of tricking, but work is work, and no matter how you don't like it, you have to complete it."
"While sl.d. comes forward to attack the extremist mutant forces, I hope that as a moderate leader, you can stand up and expand your influence in the mutant society with the official support."
"You guys are pushing Charles to the front desk!"
The magic-shaped girl Riven said very dissatisfiedly:
"He will be regarded as the target of those lunatic attacks and will be scolded as a traitor, and he will be despised."
"His Excellency Ruiwen! Don't be so naive!"
Merlin's voice became a little deeper, he said:
"How can there be no risk in order to truly accomplish something? If the professor doesn't come forward to lead the mutants without a leader and combine a plate of loose sand into a whole, who is still qualified to come forward? Are you? You can actually do it too. The neutral thinking you represent is very attractive to those hesitant mutants, and you have enough popularity and popularity."
Merlin looked at Riven and said:
"But the question is, will you cooperate with us? Are you willing to bet on everything for the future of your race?"
Raven did not answer.
Merlin shrugged, and he said:
"Look, you don't want to do this, but someone must do it. No one except Professor Charles can shoulder this important task. What's more, the mutants who hate him and the mutants who want a peaceful life will support him. As long as they cooperate with the official actions, I can guarantee that those mutants who are willing to obey order will definitely have a protected home."
"Speaking of this, Magneto's plan for the 'utopia' is actually very feasible."
Merlin looked at the professor and said:
"The only problem is that he should not be executed. I will ask you on behalf of my director, Professor Charles, are you willing to take over this mess left by Magneto?"
"What's the meaning?"
The professor did not speak, but Raven asked first:
"You mean, the World Security Council will allow us to build a country?"
"It is impossible to establish a country, don't even think about it."
Merlin waved:
"Once you take this step, it's equivalent to raising a war with the World Security Council. What I really mean is, have you heard of the 'reserved zone' system implemented in the alien world?"
“I understand.”
The professor nodded and said:
"Ororo is a wizard. She told me about the system you have implemented. There are currently 17 reservations in New York. Any alien who does not want to participate in disputes can live peacefully in the reservation. The order of the reservation is responsible for the security officers elected by each. Most aliens in New York have accepted this system and integrated it into it."
"Well, this system is currently operating smoothly."
Merlin said:
"In my opinion, the so-called 'utopia' is just another larger reserve of mutants."
"The Mutant Brotherhood where Magnit is located has bought the archipelago in the Pacific Uncharted Sea, and the island holder he registered"
Speaking of this, Merlin stopped, he looked at Professor Charles, and he said:
"It's you, professor"
"Um?"
Upon hearing the news, Charles and the magic-shaped girl Riven were both stunned.
"I just received this news. To be honest, I was also surprised."
Merlin said:
"It seems that you are a very important part of Eric's utopian plan. Maybe he has planned to pull you and your moderate mutants into this storm, but fortunately, the storm was stopped before it started."
"From a legal perspective, you are already the owner of that archipelago, so the utopia system can continue to be implemented, but no longer use the extreme confrontational ideas of the Mutant Brotherhood."
Merlin stood up, spread his hands and said to the professor and Riven:
"A reserved area for all mutants, those who cannot adapt or are unwilling to live in the existing order can be included in that archipelago. If you are willing to take over this plan, then Director Fury and I will find a way to advance this system, as long as you have to manage that island under the supervision of the existing system."
"We don't want to see it become the birthplace of the extreme ideas of mutant separatism! As for those mutants who are willing to continue living in society, they can move into reserves in each city, live with aliens, and continue to hide their identities."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at the hesitant professor and said:
"There is a last point, Professor, if you are willing to cooperate with us to complete the ideological unity of mutants, then we can guarantee that the Mutant Registration Act, which is in the making, will never be passed."
Merlin's last condition made the professor raise his head suddenly.
There was a thunderous joy in his eyes.
The so-called Mutants Registration Act is an extreme bill promoted by some bastard senators who are afraid of the world to win public opinion.
They advocate that the government mandates all mutants to register information and regularly inform the public of this information to avoid the mutant "thugs" hidden in the crowd waiting for opportunities to carry out sabotage operations.
The prototype of this bill had existed a long time ago, but it has been suppressed by the mainstream.
Politicians are not all idiots. They understand very well that once this bill is passed, it means that society's exclusion and oppression of mutants will go further and will cause a series of social problems.
You should know that in the current composition of the earth's population, the number of mutants has reached about 5%-7%, which is more than the population of ethnic groups with some special cultures. Moreover, this does not include hidden mutants, that is, ordinary people who may become mutants but have not yet awakened.
Although many people are reluctant to admit it, mutants have already possessed the basis for becoming a truly important force.
The Mutant Registration Act has always been excluded from mainstream thoughts, but in recent years, due to various reasons, the situation of this bill with some populist thoughts has once again risen.
Fury scoffed at this bill. As a secret agent who advocates control, he once told Merlin in private that once the Mutant Registration Act is implemented, the power of the Mutant Brotherhood will immediately expand by about 3-5 times. By that time, the conflict between humans and mutants will become more acute. If you are not careful, it will immediately cause a global political turmoil.
However, there are many people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. What's even more terrible is that when people who hate mutants for various reasons are incited, this outrageous bill may really become a reality.
As one of the leaders of the mutant, it was impossible for the professor to not have heard of this bill, and he was also worried about it.
Now, Merlin has made a guarantee on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., a huge force that plays an important role in international affairs, but this guarantee itself is enough to make the professor feel the sincerity of Director Nick Fury behind Merlin.
"good!"
The professor sat upright and said to Merlin:
"What do you need me to do?"
"You have to talk to Fury."
Merlin waved his hand and said:
"I'm just passing the message for him. If you are interested, then in a few days, Fury will come to visit you again. By that time, I hope that a more constructive cooperation agreement can be reached between the two of you."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at the clock that the professor placed on the desk, turned his head to look at Riven, he said:
"Okay, the prison visit time is over."
He said:
"Prisoner Riven, please come with me. You are now officially arrested by SL.D. for being involved in extremist organizational affairs, as well as attacks on public officials, and stealing. You will face oh, a seven-year prison term. If you try to escape during this process, the sentence will be extended to 15-20 years."
"Only 7 years? I thought you would sentence me to life imprisonment, or even death."
The magic-shaped woman looked at Meilin with a strange expression, and the latter shrugged:
"Of course, you still kept some criminal proofs suspected of espionage and disrupting the order of government departments during the Strategic Science Legion. If you want me to add all these crimes to you, I don't mind."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the professor and said:
"This is also our sincere expression of the magic-shaped girl Riven. You are not a formal member of the Mutant Brotherhood, so considering the cooperation between the two parties in the future, we are willing to give the professor a face and give you a slight reluctance."
"Thanks."
Professor Charles expressed his gratitude to Merlin with a serious expression. Beside him, Riven touched the professor's desk with a hint of attachment. She still remembered this desk. When she was a child, she often played hide-and-seek with Charles in this room.
Under Merlin's gaze, the magic-shaped girl Riven did not resist. She obeyed and walked to Merlin and stretched out her hands.
Merlin also symbolically copied a black handcuff on Riven's wrist.
Everyone present knew that this handcuff could not hold the ever-changing mutant in front of him.
"One more thing, Merlin."
Just as Merlin and Riven walked out of the room, the professor suddenly asked:
"That little girl, Lorna, what are you going to deal with her?"
"deal with?"
Merlin turned around and said:
"This word is a bit too cold, professor. I am not a crazy person. That girl has not yet come out of the shadow of what happened before. I will put her at home first. If she agrees, I will send her to Xavier Talented Youth Academy."
"Well, that's good."
The professor nodded and watched Merlin and Riven leave the castle.
He pushed the wheelchair and walked to the edge of the room, watching Riven and Merlin leave the manor from the lawn, and there was a hint of relief on the professor's old face.
It is difficult to make a decision between friends and race, but if you have made up your mind, you no longer need to hesitate.
"You made a mistake."
"You're just trying to get a tiger's skin"
A faint voice sounded in the professor's ears, causing the professor's expression to change slightly. He quickly pushed the wheelchair to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a box of medicine, picked up a pill and put it into his mouth.
After a moment, the professor opened his eyes tightly closed, and there was an indelible haze in his eyes.
In yesterday's war, he was also impacted by the energy from the explosion of the underground fortress.
Under the cover of his weak appearance, in the mind that was strong enough to affect reality, he also produced some
I don't know whether it's good or bad.
On the other side, Merlin appeared at the entrance of the Iron Island Prison through an extremely long-distance shapeshifting spell.
This teleportation across the entire continent made mutants like the Demon-shaped Woman with strong physical fitness feel dizzy and uncomfortable. More importantly, Merlin was very terrified to the inside of the prison and did not give her the chance to see the environment near the prison.
The Demon-shaped Girl didn't even know where the prison was located, she just vaguely heard the sound of a tide.
In front of Merlin, the agents who had received the news in advance were ready to contain him, an explosion collar and a pair of electric shock shackles, which were standard configurations when transferring important prisoners.
The magic girl did not struggle and allowed the agents to carry her shackles. Before being escorted away, Riven suddenly turned around and looked at Merlin. She said:
"You found Little Lorna, that is, you defeated the Red Devil Asazo?"
"That's right."
Merlin answered ambiguously.
"Kill him for me!"
Ruiwen said in a cold tone:
"I'll stay here until the end of my sentence, and I promise I won't make trouble."
"Well, it seems that there is still a grudge between you two."
Merlin rubbed her chin, and he looked at Riven and said:
"That demon mutant is a little useful to me. As for how to deal with him after using it, I'll consider it first. Go and serve your sentence. Ruiwen, you'd better be honest. This is my last warning to you."
Watching Riven be escorted to the underground of the island prison, Merlin did not waste time and returned to her home in New York with a very long-distance shape-shifting spell.
The magic reserve brought by entering the semi-demon stage is much higher than before when he was in the human form, so this ultra-long distance movement will not put too much pressure on Merlin.
Unfortunately, he didn't feel happy about it.
"Bang"
With a heavy worry of uncertain future, Merlin pushed open the door, but the next moment he saw a messy living room full of fragmented furniture.
In the center of the living room like the ruins after the war, Little Ruiwen, floating in the air, was confronting a girl standing on the ground with long green hair flying endlessly.
One holds weak magic in his hand, and the other is not very skillful in manipulating magnetism.
The two girls were just facing each other, and Daisy, wearing a denim suit, hid in a corner, trying to record this wonderful scene with her mobile phone.
I don’t know why they fought and what Elsa was doing? Did she ignore it?
Meilin looked at the scene in front of him, and his physical and mental fatigue became heavier, he said:
"Don't fight again"
Chapter completed!
