"I thought you would kill Tyron or erase your memory, after all, he almost hurt your dearest sister."
At midnight, Merlin stood by his balcony, holding a magic book that recorded many strange stories in his hand. He was flipping through and chatting with Icarus.
The young lady of artificial intelligence said to him:
"I didn't expect that you would give him another chance. To be honest, are you planning to treat him as an experimental subject of the hero bill you just drafted? Let's see if he can become a real superhero according to your harsh regulations?"
"You're getting smarter, Icarus."
Merlin flipped a page of the book and said:
“If I want to prove that the bill I proposed is feasible, then I have to come up with a tangible proof that Fury and Pierce are not people who can convince themselves by relying on promises from empty mouths and white teeth. They would want to see a real ‘finished product’.”
"Besides, when I saw Taylon's memory, I suddenly realized something."
Merlin raised his left arm, and amid the sound of the pulsating spring, the silver's sleeve popped out of the cuff. He stroked the blade and said to Icarus:
"I'll ask you a question, Miss Icarus. We all know that bad guys are masked to escape the sanctions of law; heroes like Bruce are masked to do things that the law cannot do. So, what do heroes and bad guys have in common besides both masking?"
“The common point between these two things is…”
Icarus said softly:
"The law is not omnipotent."
"Yes, it's not omnipotent, although we want it to be omnipotent, we want bad people to be punished, good people to be protected, and all due justice can be executed."
Merlin took back his sneak sword, and he focused his attention on the book in his hand again, and he said calmly:
"But the problem is that reality is not a fairy tale, and there is always some justice that cannot be executed by itself... Assassins regard this as their responsibility, and I think this should also be the meaning of the existence of heroes."
"This world that is about to change is probably in need of heroes, so they are born one after another in this era. S.H.E.L.D.'s mission is not to eradicate the heroes' sources, nor to force them to give up their responsibilities, it is not like this."
Merlin shook his head and said:
“Our mission is to unite the heroes who are willing to do good things, to bring them into the system they should be, rather than keeping them alone.”
"After all, in addition to those bluffing guys, there are indeed people in this world who are silently sticking to the heroic path like Bruce and Tyrone. They may be very clumsy, but they are indeed trying to make the world better. Their efforts are worthy of praise, not ridicule."
"Someone is coming, Merlin."
Icarus suddenly said:
"Two blocks away, there are magic-like energy fluctuations, and she is walking towards you."
"she?"
Merlin put away the magic book, turned his head and looked in the direction marked by Icarus, but finally saw a familiar figure walking under the street light.
It's Zatanna, Miss Magician.
She hadn't appeared for a long time. After she did her hair for Merlin last time and completed psychological counseling, it took almost a year. Merlin once thought that Zhatanna was busy with her own affairs, such as finding her missing father, etc., but later when chatting with Parchment, he realized that Parchment seemed to give Zhatanna a forced task.
And it's related to Merlin.
"Buzz"
Merlin's figure appeared under the street light a block away, and he reached out to hold the shaky Miss Magician.
Zatanna's situation is very bad at this time...
Quite bad.
She was as if she had experienced a hard battle, her face was pale, almost bloodless, and her body was wet, as if she was fished out of water. The movements of her walking forward were also very difficult, but there were no wounds or blood on her body, and perhaps more of mental fatigue and pain.
"What did you do?"
Merlin helped Zatanna to sit on the chair next to the street lamp. He threw a healing spell on Miss Magician. He looked at her while looking at her:
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"I went to Wuguanghai..."
Zatanna raised her head, and her black bangs swayed, and she showed a weak smile to Merlin:
"I finally found the node to it, but it was strange that I could only travel between the two realms by spirit. I overestimated my strength. I couldn't even get close to the sea abyss and was almost eaten by a few evil spirits."
"You're really reckless."
Meilin reached out and pushed open the door leading to the mysterious house. He supported Zatanna. The latter was too weak. She almost lay on Meilin. The two walked into the hall of the mysterious house. Xuanlan immediately took Zatanna from Meilin. The female butler looked at Meilin with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"She went to Wuguanghai."
Meilin explained to the butler, and Xuanlan's expression immediately changed a little. She looked at Zatanna in her arms, and she said in a reproachful tone:
"Are you crazy? At this stage, you dare to use spiritual projection to the sea of ​​light... You should know what's there, right? Do you want to commit suicide?"
"I just...had been delaying for too long and wanted to take a try."
Zatanna smiled bitterly, she touched her right arm. The magic closed loop formed by the contract with parchment had condensed into substance. She dragged the last contract between herself and parchment for too long. The price of breach of contract was terrible. Zatanna's right arm had been completely imprisoned with magic. She could no longer use this hand to release magic.
She must complete the last contract of parchment before this magic loop completely seals her entire body of magic power.
But she couldn't just sleep with Merlin so straightforwardly. She and Merlin are friends, but there was no love factor between the two.
Zatanna tried to intervene in Merlin's complex relationship, but when she was psychologically counseling Merlin, she found that the relationship between Merlin, Carol and Elsa was too complicated.
She could only cause trouble by herself, and the magician had her own troubles to be solved, and she had to find her father from the sea of ​​dullness.
Therefore, Miss Zatanna had no choice but to find another way.
"I'll take her to the guest room first."
Xuanlan helped Zatanna to the second floor guest room, while Meilin walked to the fireplace with a gloomy face. As the fire pounded, he reached out to pick up the parchment.
"What the hell do you ask Zatanna to do?"
Merlin asked:
"I felt the shackles of the flow of magic power on Zatanna. I am very familiar with where that shackle comes from. Don't pretend to be dead and answer my questions!"
In Merlin's questioning, the parchment seemed reluctant, but after nearly a minute of procrastination, a meaningful answer emerged.
"You will soon know what Miss Magician is going to do. Oh my God, she really has a way to find the loophole in the contract. I really like her more and more, but it doesn't matter. Just cheat. Just cheat. Just complete the requirements..."
"Merlin... Enjoy it well, I wish you a good dream."
"?"
After seeing the answer from the parchment, Merlin instinctively felt that something was wrong. He raised his head with some sense and saw a golden halo bursting out from the guest room where Zatanna was. Any object shrouded in this light would be washed into a twisted and gray posture.
He grabbed the parchment and rushed to the entrance of the mysterious house. The yellow quicksand was rolling behind him, and a strange anthropomorphic smile appeared quickly on the parchment. This bad guy seemed to be looking forward to what happened next.
"Bang"
Merlin opened the door, but the golden quicksand also fell on him like the wind blew.
As the golden light thunders thunders, the door in front of Meilin and the dark street light outside the door were twisted, just like the entrance to a dream, rotating rapidly. In the entanglement of colorful light, Meilin was finally caught in it.
"Swish"
The next moment, he opened his eyes and found himself in a forest.
The forest...how can it be said that it looks weird and cartoonish, like a fairy forest in a fairy tale. Merlin climbed up from the ground and found that he had lost all his strength. In the depths of the woods in front of him, there were also the sound of gurgling water and ethereal singing.
Meilin looked around and saw that there was only one road in front of him, leading to the depths of the woods.
"Well...Zatana!"
Merlin shouted loudly:
"No matter what you are going to do! Come out and see me...if you still think I am a friend!"
No one answered him, and the grass on both sides of the road leading to the deep forest in front of him was swaying, as if urging Meilin to embark on this road.
More than ten seconds later, Merlin took a deep breath, and he set foot on the road and walked forward. After a few minutes, he saw the spring in the forest, and Zatanna Zatala, Miss Magician, was sitting by the spring, as if waiting for Merlin to arrive.
In this weird fantasy, she was also wearing her bold clothes, black and white magician tuxedo, black hot pants, fishnet stockings and boots, her long black hair was scattered on Zatanna's shoulders, and her beautiful big eyes. In the reflection of the spring, this quirky magician lady looked extremely beautiful, full of sexy temptation.
"No, it's not right!"
But Merlin is a great wizard after all, and his mental power is super strong. After realizing the abnormal growth of his inner self, Merlin immediately took a step back. He could not release his magic, so he could only turn his head to the side and not look at the tempting Zatanna.
"I have no intention of hurting you, Merlin, we are friends."
Zatanna reached out and plucked her hair, and she said to Merlin:
"I'm sorry I lied to you before. I didn't just go to Wuguanghai, but also fought with the Sandman and snatched the Sand from him."
"Only in this way can I pull a powerful spellcaster like you into the dream world... But don't worry, Merlin, the time here is still, and we have enough time before the Sand of Dreams is used up... Also, don't resist, Merlin, I can do anything in this world that extends from my dream."
The moment Zatanna finished speaking, Merlin's face was twisted by a force and looked at Zatanna. The magician smiled at Merlin, then reached out and unbuttoned her small tuxedo.
Now, no matter how slow Merlin is, she knows what Zatanna is planning to do.
"Stop! Hell! What's wrong with you one by one!"
Merlin screamed:
"Stop, Zatanna! If we are still friends...please don't do this!"
"I don't want it either, Merlin."
Zatanna unbuttoned her bra, she showed a regretful expression, and she said to Merlin:
"I signed two contracts with the devil-like parchment to find my father. The first one has been completed and I have been alone with you three times, but the second one has been dragged until now."
Speaking of this, a hint of blush flashed across Miss Magic's cheeks, she said:
"It is to not destroy our friendship, Merlin, that I used this method. It's just a dream, relax, and there will be no change in our relationship."
"Just think... I have a spring dream about me."
"Swish"
The magician's fingers gently waved, and all the clothes on Merlin disappeared, and the indecent things were exposed to the air, making Merlin feel the long-lost embarrassment.
Perhaps it was the power of the dream world that made the consciousness in Merlin's mind collapse rapidly. He saw Zatanna walking towards him in only stockings and boots. As the black hair fluttered, the girl seemed so tempting...
As she approached, she held...
"Parchment...you are a cub!"
The moment before the consciousness completely collapsed and the rushing upwards, Merlin cursed with his last will.
Then, the pink halo drowns everything.
———————————————————
The sun shone into the bedroom through the translucent curtains, shining on Meilin's face, making the sleeping people feel a touch of warmth. After a few seconds, Meilin's eyes moved for a while and then opened.
The familiar ceiling is the eye-catching.
"Well"
Meilin stretched out his finger and rubbed his forehead. He habitually groped, took off his pocket watch from the bedside table, and looked at the time.
"It's 9 o'clock? I'm actually late..."
The rare oversleep made Merlin feel something was wrong, but he sat up from the bed and felt nothing was wrong.
Except for the dream I had last night...
Too shameful.
Meilin couldn't help but pound his forehead, and he said:
"Men are really mean. They have two girlfriends, and they even fantasize about other women... But then again, why did Zatanna appear in my dream? We are obviously just friends..."
"Ah, I don't want to go to work anymore."
While Merlin was dressing to work, she looked tired in the hall of the mysterious house, as if she hadn't had a night of sleep, Zatanna looked at the parchment in her hand, and she said:
"I fulfilled my promise and unlocked the magic closed loop."
"Hehe, cheating little girl, you are such a clever little guy."
A line of words popped up on the parchment, but it did not reject Zatanna's request. The magic closed loop locked on Zatanna's right arm was quickly untied, and the huge magic power that Miss Magician possessed once again returned to normal circulation.
In the shining of magic, her beautiful and soft black hair danced in the air, looking very fantastic.
"Ah, the feeling of freedom is so good."
Zatanna shook her hair, she picked up her magician's hat, put it on her head, and said to the parchment:
"We're cleared, I'll leave, bye."
And just as the magician stood up, another word suddenly popped up in the parchment paper to make her frown:
"Little girl, I guess the Sandman didn't tell you the sequelae of using a large amount of Dream Sand at once, right?"
Chapter completed!
