"Your eyes"

In Fury's office, Merlin frowned and stared at the director in front of him.

Fury was scratched by his left eye because he was teasing the orange cat Gugu. Only a few people in SHIELD knew about this. Fury unanimously claimed that his left eye was blinded during the battle.

Despite wearing a black eye mask, the scar on Fury's eyes could not be concealed. The scratched scar seemed very ferocious, piercing through Fury's upper and lower eyelids and eye sockets, making anyone who stared at it feel frightened.

Merlin has also seen Fury look without a blindfold.

His left eye was infected by something carried on his gurgling paws, causing his eyeballs to have a cataract-like haze, but this eye was actually intact and his vision was not affected.

Before Carol left, he told Merlin that Fury might have other abilities because of Gugu's claw. After all, it is really hard to judge things like the Yuan-Devouring Beast.

But so many years have passed, Fury has maintained his ordinary character until tonight, and this character collapsed.

At this time, in Fryna's left eye, in the center of the pale eyeball, a ball of black light was lingering. It was not fixed, and the dot-like light was more like a force that rotated irregularly in the eyeball.

After staring at Fury's eyes for several seconds, Merlin felt that his will was like facing a strange vortex.

The light in his eyes was as if he wanted to absorb all Merlin's thinking.

"The spiritual temptation that comes with it, as well as the guidance of will and thinking, is like the 'natural temptation' of adult succubus. It is really amazing to maintain the use of language inducement without additional activation."

Merlin whispered:

"Just like yours, you're so annoying, Fury."

"Let's go with each other."

Fury happily put his eye mask on again. He leaned against the chair and picked up a psychology book from his hand. While reading it, he said to Merlin:

"I don't know if this is good or bad, but with this thing, I always feel much smoother when chatting with other people."

"Haha, maybe I should call you 'convinced' in the future?"

Merlin chuckled, he stood up and said to Fury:

"There's one more thing, I don't know if Hill has passed my words to you, Fury, about your very dishonest student Amanda Waller."

"You're talking about the Heavenly Eyes?"

Fury said without raising his head:

"Amanda is just the commander of the Sky Eye Society, Merlin, the real leader of the organization is quite big. His name is Tefrey, a former combat hero, and maintains a mysterious connection with a mysterious character. Tefrey is a rare immortal. Merlin, who has been active since World War I and has been here until now."

"He once fought side by side with Steve Rogers. In fact, until now, we don't know why Mr. Tefrey can live for so long and have enough energy. But one thing is certain, that should not be the power of technology."

"You mean, the leader of the Sky Eye Society is actually a mysterious figure on the magic side?"

Merlin moved his fingers and said:

"It sounds tricky, but Fury, they're interfering in our work, Amanda Waller is like a wild boar rushing across the farm. If it's not under control, she will smash all the fences we've finally built. I mean, you can talk to her first and persuade her."

Merlin's tone became cold:

"If she doesn't listen to the advice, I will find another way."

"Merlin!"

Fury said in a stressed tone:

“Amanda is a public official”

"I know."

Merlin turned around and walked towards the door, and he said to Fury without looking back:

"That's why I sincerely ask you to talk to her about this order. The new alien order on the land of North America was established by us through all obstacles. So many soldiers died in this cause, so much blood, so much death."

"Now, someone I don't know just jumped out and planned to pick the fruit."

“Is it really that easy?”

—

After finishing his conversation with Fury, Merlin returned home. It was early morning and he was a little tired.

He took a shower, changed into a black pajamas, and planned to take a good night's sleep before dawn came. As soon as he lay in bed, Merlin was awakened.

The voice of Xuanlan, the butler of the mysterious house, rang in Meilin's mind:

"Master Merlin, Miss Zatanna is here to visit, and she is here to return what she has taken away."

"oh."

Merlin sat up from the bed, took out the key to the mysterious house, walked to the door, turned the door lock, and stepped into the mysterious house.

Zatanna is already waiting for her in the living room.

She was still dressed like a magician, with a well-tailored black and white tuxedo, a bold and seductive black fishnet stockings, and a pair of high boots that set off the magic girl's tall figure in perfection.

"Hello, Mr. Raven."

Seeing Meilin walk into the living room, Zatanna immediately stood up and leaned slightly towards Meilin.

Looking from the collar, the dazzling white thing made Meilin look elsewhere again.

Maybe, I should remind Miss Zatanna to let her pay attention to her dressing.

She's a wizard after all

"Well, you're good, Miss Magic."

Meilin waved her hand and signaled that she would not be so polite. He walked to the fireplace and sat on the sofa. Xuanlan handed over a cup of hot tea with moderate temperature at the right time. Meilin sipped a sip of tea, and he said:

"Have you been doing well recently? Zatanna, has that page helped?"

"Well, it helped me a lot."

Zatanna took out the rolled parchment from her handbag and handed it back to Merlin, she said:

"It is indeed a dark book that claims to collect all the knowledge among the stars. It can perfectly answer every question I have about the field of occultism, except for the occasional strange conditions that make people feel confused and embarrassing."

Speaking of this, Zatanna carefully peeked at Merlin and found that Mr. Raven had not noticed anything, which made Zatanna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'll put it in the mysterious house."

Merlin took the rolled parchment paper, and he stroked the pages of the Dark Book that had been gone for a month in his hand, and he said to Zatanna:

"You have solid knowledge of mysticism and your talent is also very high. Maybe soon, I will not be able to teach you. If you have any questions about other knowledge, you can always come to the Mystic House to ask for help from the Dark Book of the Dark."

He turned his head and looked at Xuanlan, and he said to the butler:

"I remember that the mysterious house can be marked for visitors, right? Lan."

"Um"

Standing beside Meilin, the meticulous butler nodded, and she said to Meilin with a reserved attitude:

"I can mark the guests recognized by the owner. When the guests need it, they only need to find a door and get the owner's permission to enter the mysterious house. Of course, the process of opening the door requires the guests to give their own magic to establish a connection with the mysterious house. The magic required by Miss Zatanna is quite huge, but Miss Zatanna's magic should be enough, and her bloodline is also connected to the mysterious house, so she can easily enter here."

"good."

Merlin nodded and said:

"Then mark Miss Zatanna."

He said:

"This place was her home after all."

"It's such an honor, Mr. Raven."

Zatanna stood up in surprise and thanked Meilin very sincerely. She bowed to Meilin. As a result, this time, the scenery on her chest almost appeared in front of Meilin. Meilin could even see the black lace bra and smell the fragrance of violet flowers.

This made him a little embarrassed.

"If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

Merlin coughed lightly and said to Zatanna:

"I have a few more trials to complete. We'll contact Miss Zatanna next time."

"Wait, Mr. Raven."

Seeing that Merlin was about to leave, Zatanna was a little anxious. She had two tasks to get along with Merlin alone.

She subconsciously grabbed Meilin's wrist, and this action made Meilin look back at her.

"Uh, I mean"

The magician immediately let go of her hand, and she said to Merlin a little embarrassedly:

"The five magical marvels I promised you last time are ready."

She said:

"But those things are not easy to carry, so I put them in the family collection, can you go with me to my estate and bring it back? By the way, I've collected a whole set of old prints recently, and some mystical summoning arrays that I've drawn myself, and I don't know if those things are correct."

"Don't go!"

Just as Zatanna finished speaking, another voice suddenly rang in Merlin's mind.

It's Raven.

Riven, who is far away from Xavier Talented Youth Academy.

There was a hint of anger in Merlin's tone, and she screamed at Merlin:

"You drove Elsa away! You bastard, you meet with the little goblin while we are not at home! Merlin, you are really too presumptuous!"

"Riven Elsa was not driven away by me."

Merlin explained that he was somewhat disappointed:

"She left by herself. Oh, you are still young, you don't understand these."

"Anyway, I'm not allowed to go!"

Raven said:

"I don't want those five strange things! Stay at home honestly! I will stare at you before Elsa comes back!"

"All right."

Merlin replied:

"But it would be a pity to give up the reward just now. I asked Xuanlan to pick it up, isn't it a problem?"

"Hmph, this is almost the same."

Riven slowly calmed down in Merlin's mind with tired business. He raised his head and said to Zatanna with apologies:

"Forget it tonight, I have something to deal with."

He said to the butler beside him:

"Lan, please help me get those strange things from Miss Zatanna's manor, okay?"

"Yeah, of course."

Xuanlan said calmly:

"The master's needs are my duty."

Merlin waved goodbye to the disappointed lady of the magician, and then went back to her bedroom. At the moment when the door of the mysterious room closed, Xuanlan, who watched his master leave, turned around and looked at Zatanna. After a few seconds, she suddenly said:

"what you up to?"

"Um?"

Zatanna subconsciously replied:

"I don't want to do anything, I just"

"No, you have a purpose!"

Xuanlan interrupted Miss Magician's explanation to cover up Miqian, and she said calmly:

"Even if I don't rely on the perception of the mysterious house, I can see a hint of loss in your expression. Zatanna, you have some other thoughts about Master Merlin. Well, maybe it's not your own, but there is no doubt why are you trying to get closer to him?"

"Because of some secrets that cannot be told."

Miss Magic took a look at the parchment paper placed on the wooden rack in front of Merlin. She bit her lip and said to Xuanlan:

"But I absolutely don't have any malice."

"You're doing something dangerous, Zatanna Zatala."

Perhaps because of Zatanna's ancestor Da Vinci, Xuan Lan was unexpectedly tolerant of this magical girl. With some elders' intention to look at the younger generation, she pushed the monocle glasses clipped on her eyes, and she said to Zatanna:

"No, you're doing a lot of dangerous things."

"You are chasing a spirit that can easily destroy the world, you are trying to rescue your father from the most dangerous place in the multiverse, and now you are still trying to enter the life of Master Merlin"

With a hint of warning, Xuanlan said to Zatanna:

"Do you know why I put these three things together?"

"Because their danger level is almost the same, don't underestimate Master Merlin too much, Zatanna, the secret behind him is something you can't imagine."

"How do you know?"

Zatanna asked with confusion:

"You are just the spirit of the mysterious house, you can't even beat me."

"Yes, I'm very weak."

Xuan Lan waved her hand indifferently:

"But don't forget that I am also a 'spirit'. In the field of mysticism, I can see and perceive the symbolic meanings that you flesh and blood creatures cannot perceive."

"Everything in the world has its own special symbols, representing the reflection of their real existence in the mysterious realm, such as the sister of Master Merlin, the dangerous daughter of hell, Riven, her symbol is the arrogant black raven, and you, Miss Zatanna, your symbol is the violet flower, representing mystery and knowledge, which is the inheritance from your bloodline."

Xuanlan turned around and looked at the closed door, and she whispered:

“But Master Merlin is special”

“He has no fixed symbol.”

"Or, with my ability, I can't see his symbol at all. I can only feel that as time goes by, his symbol is constantly changing, just like it is."

"A rolling dice, whenever it falls, the fate of Master Merlin will deviate."

She looked at Zatanna and said seriously:

"I am nosy for the sake of your ancestors, Miss Zatanna, stop your approach to Master Merlin, and you are like an ignorant moth flying towards the flames that will burn you and devour you."

"Is it really that serious?"

Zatanna's face was a little pale, she was frightened by Xuan Lan's statement.

This is normal. What Xuanlan said is enough to scare anyone who has a little research on the field of occultism.

"certainly."

Xuanlan nodded and said calmly:

"When you can still get out, get out as soon as possible."

After receiving Xuanlan's affirmative answer, Zatanna's voice was filled with a hint of trembling. She looked at the lock of contract closed on her elbows, and she said with despair:
Chapter completed!
