"Don't use that hard!"
“Relax.”
"Yes, dance up and down a little slower."
"It's this state."
“Start up!”
"Hurry!"
"stop!"
"Bang"
With a light sound, Elsa's training sword in her hand was swinging too fast, and when Merlin suddenly stopped, the power gathered on the sword was too huge, which made Elsa unable to hold it at all.
The sword was like an arrow flying out, piercing into the wall behind Merlin in the whistling.
The whole sword was sank into the wall, and the hilt was still buzzing.
"Sword Dance is not used like this."
Merlin glanced at the training sword inserted into the wall behind him, and said to Elsa who was slightly panting in front of him:
"You can't pour all your power into the sword, so that when you need to quickly collect the sword, you will reveal flaws, which is fatal in many cases. You must always keep 3 points of strength."
He bounced his fingers, and a ball of black mist rolled onto the blade. With a slight tug, the blade was pulled out of the wall.
“Try again.”
He threw the sword to Elsa, who took the training sword and played a sword flower, then turned his head to look at Colson who was training alone on the other side. Compared to Elsa, who had just started learning sword dance, Colson who had been practicing for a week by Merlin, he was quite good at playing sword dance.
The extraordinary body of the witch hunter gave Colson a strong balance and learning ability. The training sword accompanied the rotation of his body and wrists, and as he advanced, he danced out an arc that whistled through the wind, like a sharp blade, following Colson's side.
"Just like him."
Merlin said to Elsa:
"Control new powers and don't rush to release them."
“I need a few days to train.”
Elsa frowned and said to Merlin:
"It feels like I'm back in childhood, you're even more severe than my mother."
"I won't whip you."
Merlin shook his head, and he picked up two bottles of water from the ground behind him, threw it to Colson, then twisted the lid and handed the second bottle to Elsa, he said:
"Sword Dance and Sword Technique is an advanced power of the witch hunter. It is amazing when it is used in combination with the Seal and Potion. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can use the Sword Dance to sneak attack and kill a high-level vampire in the blink of an eye. But it is difficult to master. It took me several years to barely be considered proficient and leave you a lot of time, so you don't need to worry."
Elsa nodded, she plucked her orange hair and said to Merlin while drinking water:
"Speaking of this, aren't you going to take Eric on a trip?"
"That's two months later."
Merlin said:
"Our guide only had time at that time, so in the past two months, I can take enough time to prepare and train you. Colson will go back to Philadelphia the day after tomorrow, so in the next time, we can train your cold abilities 1-on-1? How are you using it now?"
Faced with Merlin's problem, Elsa raised the water bottle in her hand. As Merlin's gaze, the water quickly condensed in the sun. After a few seconds, it turned into a cold ice cube, and then melted quickly.
"I can control it, but it's still a little bit awkward."
Elsa said to Merlin:
"This is the use of energy projection, and I have no such experience before."
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Merlin whispered:
"We have enough time to learn to manipulate energy, and, I remember that in Xavier Talented Youth Academy, there was also a young man who was good at manipulating ice. Maybe you can take time to ask him about the characteristics of ice and the understanding of cold. Well, when it comes to Xavier Academy, the two girls will go home tomorrow, and Matt will come back."
Merlin looked at Elsa, he hesitated a little, but said:
"Or what if we go to the amusement park tomorrow?"
"Are you asking me for a date? Merlin."
Elsa snorted, she stabbed her sword into the lawn under her feet, and she flipped her waist and looked at Merlin, she said:
"Others go to bars or cinemas when they are on dates. Why does it turn to take their children to amusement parks when they come to me?"
"They all like you very much, Elsa."
Merlin said frankly:
"You like them too, so the amusement park is a very good choice. Besides, I don't like the atmosphere of the cinema. Those stories are either beautiful but not realistic, or sad and transcendent common sense. They are all false stories. I don't like them."
"You're really a straight man, my Merlin."
Elsa said something a little amused. She looked at Merlin who was confused and she simply made it clear:
"I don't want to hear your explanations about how you hate cinemas. I mean maybe tomorrow night, we can find some time to be alone without kids."
"sure."
Merlin shrugged with a sudden realization, and said:
"Maybe we can go and drink, Josie's bar is good."
"Josi Bar?"
Elsa blinked, and she stretched out her voice and said:
"Is it the place where you and Agent Hill often go to drink?"
At this moment, even though Merlin was a real straight man, he felt the other meanings in Elsa's words, and he immediately explained:
"Hill and I are just ordinary friends. I admire her very much, but we are still friends. You also know that SHIELD internal employees are not allowed to fall in love."
"Hey, there's no need to explain this to me."
Alsa waved his hand calmly, and she walked to Meilin, reached out and helped him to clean up his collar. The woman with green cat eyes whispered:
"I don't care much about the past, nor do we have to be loyal to each other yet."
"Enjoy your single life."
Elsa walked into the room and she said:
"I'll talk about everything after I come back from a long journey."
Watching Elsa walk into the kitchen and prepare lunch for the children who will come back in the afternoon, Merlin couldn't help but rub the forehead. He turned his head and said to Colson who was looking here secretly:
"Woman, what does she mean?"
"Uh, sir."
Colson put away his sword, picked up the silver crossbow at his hand, fiddling with the demon-breaking arrows, and replied in a low voice:
"According to my understanding of women, I think Miss Elsa is warning you."
"It's better not to hook up with other women."
“Hook up?”
Merlin frowned and said to Colson:
"Colson, you know me. There are not many women in my life."
"Oh? Is it?"
Colson said with a strange look:
"Ms. Carol, who has had a relationship with you, Agent Hill who has been rumored to have sex with you, always likes to tease your Agent Natasha, and the purple-haired mutant mercenary. Yesterday, I heard from Raven's little sister that you were alone with a little sister named Magician for a night, plus Miss Elsa now."
"Sir, to be honest, if I didn't know the situation, I would think you were a complete scumbag."
Colson's words made Merlin's brow frown even deeper. He looked at the agent who was gloating in front of him and snorted coldly:
"Why are you laughing at? You were so much older than me when you were young. What is the name of the soccer lady at Madison Middle School? Julie?"
"How do you know this?"
Colson, who was exposed by the romantic past, was shocked. Miss Julie, who had slept with almost all the boys in Madison Middle School, was the most terrifying nightmare when he was young.
Faced with Colson's panic, Merlin snorted reservedly, and said:
"I'm a wizard, Colson."
"You better not mess with me with caution. I told all the ridiculous stories of your past to Miss Audrey who studied cello at Columbia University. You're chasing her recently, right?"
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 2002, and nothing happened. Merlin also took time to go to Gotham, met his old friend at Wayne Manor, and got rid of the influence of Brother Bruce in Gotham City, and helped him find the young biologist recommended by Vivian.
Pamela Lillian Alice.
In July, Melinda and Sharon had already begun to prepare for the mutant transformation of the witch hunter. Although Merlin still has 17 neutralizers and inducers for the mutant material, if there is no trusted biologist to carry out subsequent drug configuration and research, then the second phase of the ASCHEUN MOUNTING MOUNTING PROGRAM in Merlin's plan may not be smooth.
Faced with Merlin's request, Bruce did not refuse. He promised to use Wayne Industry's influence to help Merlin find Miss Lillian as soon as possible.
Merlin was also very pleased to see that Bruce and his son Demian finally became normal.
Well, it's not that normal. At least a normal father wouldn't be in Gotham City with his son and another child in the middle of the night.
But how to say it?
Everyone has a way to express love. For Bruce, including his son in his lifelong career is probably the greatest tolerance for his son.
And Damian, although this kid appears to be disdainful of the job of superhero, in fact, he seems to be happy with it.
Well, this is a good thing.
In all senses it is.
Damian was trained and raised by ninja master Lars Al Goul since childhood. There is an undisguised dark side in his personality, which gives Damian a variety of choices and a variety of futures in his life.
And following Bruce, Merlin doesn't need to worry at least that Demian will become a dangerous sociopath in the future.
After saying goodbye to Bruce, Merlin returned home and began to prepare for a long-distance trip.
As the departure time agreed with Ororo was getting closer, Merlin was more and more curious about the mysterious African country of Wakanda. He even looked for stories about Wakanda in the wizards' libraries.
But unexpectedly, Merlin basically got nothing.
"When I got home yesterday, I met my old friend Crow, who was rushing to an open-air rock concert and I talked to him about Wakanda."
Merlin was wearing sunglasses and driving towards Xavier Talented Youth Academy. Eric sat in the secondary seat. The young man had a slight nervousness on his face. He asked:
"What did that wizard tell you?"
"He told me that your hometown is also a mysterious place for wizards."
Merlin answered while pulling the steering wheel:
"The Crow said that in the East Africa region where Wakanda is located, there are several ancient wizard families, and there is no formal magic academy there, but those families united to form an African magic council, and they trained the next generation of Ororo in an ancient and closed way, which was where they grew up."
"The wizards believe that those magical families rooted in Africa jointly guard the road to Wakanda, and no wizard can enter the closed Wakanda without their permission."
Merlin snorted, and he said:
"The dual blockade of magic and technology has made me more and more curious about Wakanda. Speaking of it, Eric, don't you remember anything your father said to you about Wakanda?"
“Not much.”
Eric rubbed his forehead and said:
"I only remember now that my father often stays alone at midnight. He is very sad and may also miss his hometown. And he likes to watch the sunrise. In my memory, he told me that the sunset in his hometown is the most beautiful scenery in the world. I think he should be referring to Wakanda."
"All right."
Merlin nodded, when he:
"Then you will have the chance to see the beautiful scenery that your father has been obsessed with with his own eyes. But according to Ororo, your father is an amazing figure in Wakanda. Eric, he is a prince. In theory, you are a prince. I'm sorry for letting the noble prince live a hard life with me for so many years."
"Don't make such a joke, Merlin."
Eric turned his head and looked out of the car window, and he said with dissatisfaction:
"I'm not a prince, and I don't want to be a prince. I just want to figure out my father's affairs, and then, I'm not in touch with that place anymore."
"I plan to propose to Charlie after graduation. We may return to Los Angeles to live, after all, her relatives are there. We will buy a house there, and when you get old, you can come and live with us."
Eric curled his lips, and he looked at the robbery in a street room, and said:
"This ghost place in New York is really not suitable for retirement."
"I?"
Merlin laughed and said:
"I won't be old, at least you won't see that day. I'd better think about what to do after I go home. In theory, you should call the current king of Wakanda uncle, tsk, royal family member, noble blood, meaningless thing."
They went to Xavier Academy to receive Ororo, who was pushing a box, wearing a long skirt and a sun hat, and then drove from Xavier Talented Youth Academy to Kennedy International Airport.
More than 40 minutes later, three people walked into the waiting room. Merlin, wearing sunglasses, looked at the scorching sun in the sky. He turned his head and said to Ororo:
"Your Majesty Queen, why no one came to pick you up? Are you so unreserved?"
"Who said no?"
Ororo, wearing sunglasses, pointed to the huge, quirky black private jet docked in the center of the airport, she said:
"Isn't that?"
"Look, Eric, your cousin is waiting for you on the gangway of the plane. Go and find him a greeting."
