In the evening, Merlin was cooking for the family.

Perhaps because of the long vacation, the deputy director's life rhythm has also entered a very relaxed state.

He spent most of his day studying the book "Detailed Explanation of Runes" from the Asgard Astrology Tower.

It is an introductory book of the Lun rune magic casting system, which introduces in detail the origin and usage of rune magic.

That is a new knowledge that is completely different from the Earth's spell casting system and the mystical knowledge that Merlin has been involved in.

It is always very joyful and exciting to see something new.

As a spellcaster with a very high level, after having experience in studying super-level magic, Merlin's learning of rune magic has also been smooth.

But it will take him some time to fully master this new magic.

"Crash"

Fresh vegetables were thrown into the hot oil, and Merlin held the shovel in his hand and stir-fryed the vegetables.

Because since many years ago, she had to cook for the children at home, Merlin has already developed very good cooking skills over the years.

Of course there is still a little difference with the chef.

But Merlin occasionally uses magic to process some ingredients, which adds a lot of color to the taste of the food.

Outside the kitchen, in the living room, Laura was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding the handle, staring at the TV in front of her.

After Eric gave her a ps3 game console as a birthday gift, the psp, which Laura had never left, fell out of favor.

Fortunately, Laura's little girl has a special physique, so Merlin doesn't need to worry that she will hurt her eyes when she plays games for too long.

Next to Laura, Lorna, who was holding the cat, also stared at the game scene in front of her, screaming from time to time, but after Laura was fooled several times, she ignored her.

The big girl Ruiwen is still as quiet as ever.

She lay on the sofa, holding Merlin's book "The Ancient Body of Hoggs" in her hand, and she would frown from time to time.

She had memorized this book a long time ago and is now in a state of review.

The theory of super-level magic is not difficult for Raven. What is really difficult is the magic power sealed in her body.

She has been sealed by the Supreme Mage for a long time. Although she has already adapted to the "weak" state, it is not easy to release a complete super-level magic under her current casting ability.

The magical girl has been trying to break through the limits without using the power of dark magic recently.

But this effort has so far been out of reach under Merlin's cessation.

"I'm hungry!"

Lorna hugged Gugu, the green-haired girl stared at the handle in Laura's hand sneakily while rubbing her stomach, shouting without looking back:

“When will dinner be good?”

"Wait a little longer."

Merlin took a look at the recipe floating in front of him. He had a rare time to spare, so he was ready to try a new dish.

But just as Merlin was about to pour the seasoning into the pot, a new communication request suddenly jumped out on Icarus' lens.

Merlin hesitated for a moment.

"Check it."

Icarus said softly:

"I just commissioned George to upgrade the communication module for me, which will not be monitored in special frequency bands."

"Um."

Merlin nodded slightly while gently lit the seasoning bottle in his hand.

The next moment, the communication will be connected.

"Reid?"

Merlin's mouth was not moving, but the silver pendant hanging around her neck was trembling.

The "extracorporeal tongue" that I used a long time ago when practicing Animagus vibrated and sent the sound into Icarus' communicator.

"Is there anything wrong?"

“Is it safe?”

Reed seems to have adopted certain encryption methods.

On the projection of Icarus, Merlin could only see Reed constantly waving his rubber-like elongated hands in the laboratory, carrying out several experimental projects at the same time.

He looked busy, but in order.

He is the only one in the lab, but it seems like there is a team working together.

"Safety."

Merlin said:

"Have you met Zatanna?"

"Zatana?"

Reed said in confusion:

"Who is that? I just met a mysterious person who could pull people into a dream at noon... She claimed to be the 'Raw Voice', and then told me something, I'll verify it."

"Oh, should he be a world-class stage magician?"

Merlin's dry complaints:

“The desire to perform is really strong…”

"Yes, what she told you is true. I think you should know how powerful your unborn son is, right?"

"Um."

Reed said with a hint of pride:

"Although it's still pregnant, my son has shown a different characteristic than ordinary people. Some energy is active in Susan's body. That should be the talent of Little Franklin being activated..."

"He's a mutant, and we already know that."

"Susan and I guess this may be because of the influence of cosmic ray energy that exists in our co-ecology... In short, my son will definitely inherit the superb wisdom of the Richards family."

"All right."

Meilin reached out and pushed his glasses, moved his arms, stirring the fragrant dishes back and forth, his tongue said:

"Anyway, someone has targeted Little Franklin's talent, I can't tell you more, but I can confirm the authenticity of this matter... We need your help, that bottle of blood, is very important."

“I’m purifying it.”

Reed's tone also became serious, he said:

"It's mixed in 17 reagent tubes with different effects, and if that monitor is not a professional chemist, it's hard to understand what I'm doing even if he's watching... so you don't need to worry."

"It takes 3-5 days to complete the purification. The genes in the blood are particularly interesting. They belong to the genes of mutants and have gene fragments that are different from ordinary people."

"The most peculiar thing is that that special gene fragment is different from all the mutant gene fragments I have seen. It has..."

"Reid!"

Seeing Reed enter the professional state of a researcher again, Merlin reminded him while dialing the fried dishes into the plate:

"You don't need to tell me this, I don't understand, and I'm not interested."

"You just need to purify that blood to the point where it can be used to make neutralizers. Zatanna will pull you into a dream again after 5 days, and then hand over the results of the purification to her. You don't need to interfere with the rest..."

Merlin said:

"But it's a little bit related to your child, so, I hope you can do it as a qualified father... to do your best, ok?"

"I will."

Reed's calm voice came from the other end of the communicator, and he said to Merlin:

"I don't know what materials you plan to use to make the 'mutability eliminator' with purification liquid, but I have a small suggestion."

"Combined with the DNA of the leech and the special gene fragment in the blood, Merlin."

"That biologically unique DNA will increase the effect of neutralizer by at least 5 times, and the effect will take place faster, just like the deadliest virus!"

There seemed to be a hint of coldness in Reid's voice, as if he had become another person at this moment.

He said slowly:

"As long as the 'leech' potion is injected into the mutant's body, it will dissolve in the blood within 1 second. While erasing the mutant's ability, it will make the target weaker..."

“I can also add contagion to it if you need it, which is not difficult to do.”

"And, I can design another 'gene lock' for you. If there is no corresponding agent... this state of weakness will continue, like a cage applied to the genetic level."

"And only needs to change the position of a few molecular chains, this weak effect can also be transformed into the decomposition of x gene fragments and gene-level decomposition!"

"It will cause the x gene of mutants to collapse, which will in turn cause the collapse of the entire gene system of life."

The coldness in Dr. Reid's words became heavier and he whispered:

"This rapid genetic collapse is fatal, and it's enough to turn those damn assholes into a disgusting mud in 10 minutes!"

"Reid!"

Merlin blinked, and he interrupted Reed's increasingly terrifying words, saying:

"I feel like you're doing something dangerous."

"I just need a neutralizer, but you designed a weapon for me to target all mutants... an extinction weapon, what do you want to do?"

The communicator end was silent, and Dr. Reid, immersed in the fantasy of destruction, seemed to be awakened by Merlin's words.

After a moment, he whispered:

"I just...I just want to protect my kids, sorry, I've lost my composure."

"So, you smart people are really scary."

Merlin shook his head and brought the prepared dishes into the living room. He said:

"It's already terrible to be able to design a racial destruction weapon, and now you've got a perfect reason to let your destruction mind be fully released..."

"But it's dangerous, Reid, your mind is dangerous."

“I am now starting to be glad that I made the right choice.”

Merlin said:

"If you really let that bad guy take your son... you might destroy the world in anger. Your wisdom has given you this ability."

"Sobert, Reid..."

Merlin patted his sister's head and asked them to wash their hands and eat, and then he said to Reed:

"I just need that neutralizer. Of course, the DNA of the leech and that gene lock can be added, but there is no need to be contagious..."

"I promise you that as long as I am there, no one can hurt your son, so let Reed, the destroyer, stay honestly in your cage of thinking."

"Continue to be a good old man, Reed, don't let him out..."

"I beg you, this world has enough disasters."

On the other end of the communicator, Reed Richards, who had hung up the communication, glanced at the centrifuge that was running quickly. He pressed the pause button, walked forward, and put several test tubes containing special liquids that had been prepared in his hand.

He looked at the test tubes.

After a while, he shook his head and threw the test tubes into a strictly sealed destruction box.

The smartest man in the world washed his hands, then reached out and turned off the lab lights and instruments. He walked quietly into the bedroom, his wife was already asleep on the sofa.

Reed looked at Susan in the dark with a loving look, lying beside Susan and pressing his ear against his wife's abdomen.

On this quiet night, he could hear Franklin talking to him...

Of course, this is just a beautiful hallucination of a father.

Reed gently picked up his wife, put her on the bed, and then hugged her and fell asleep peacefully.

Life is beautiful...

There is a group of people protecting them, and they are no longer forced to take up weapons for survival and those coming malice.

“But if it really needs to…”

Reed whispered in his wife's ear:

"I will still destroy the world for you..."

"I can't live in a world without you, I can't accept that future..."

On the other side...

"Ah, what's going on with this dish?"

Lorna coughed in big mouthfuls, then grabbed her cat's head water cup and gushes the water, as if she had eaten something weird and dark.

She turned her head and stared at Merlin, and she said:

"Say! Do you don't love us anymore? So you deliberately use this bad dish to send us away?"

"Well..."

Merlin looked at the other two reliable sisters speechlessly.

Ruiwen used a fork to raise a piece of meat and put it into her mouth, and her eldest sister's expression immediately became weird.

Laura was bulging her cheeks, and she didn't seem to like the taste of dinner today.

But because it was made by Merlin, she was chewing hard, trying to swallow them.

"I'll try..."

Meilin was still confident in his cooking skills. He skillfully picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat into his mouth. The next moment, Meilin's expression became dull.

"You just had a great chat with Reed, so I didn't remind you."

Icarus replays the scene of Merlin cooking on the lens, and she says in a weird tone:

"You added salt twice... I added more soy sauce 17% more than the recipe, and I also used the wrong hot sauce..."

"Oh...it seems that it is not suitable for cooking in the field of cooking, it is really difficult."

Merlin sighed, he stood up and poured all the failed dishes tonight into the trash can, he said to his three sisters:

"Let's go and eat outside."

"yeah!"

Lorna was the first to jump up, she raised her two fingers with full vitality and shook in front of Merlin's eyes, she said:

"I want to have seafood pizza! 2 servings!"

A moment later, Horus, driven by Merlin, rushed out of Hell's Kitchen and galloped towards the Mick House in Queens.

In the car, Merlin listened to Lorna and Riven chatting, talking about girls' topics, such as lipsticks and eye shadows.

He didn't understand these, so he didn't comment.

He was thinking about another thing...

Tonight's dish failed.
Chapter completed!
