Chapter 362 43. Two Heads Grow

Merlin pushed open the door with a large bag of things, and saw Elsa sitting on the sofa at a glance. She was holding a bowl of porridge and a spoon, and was feeding Riven, who seemed to have just woken up. With dinner.

"Come on, baby, open your mouth."

Elsa brought a spoonful of cereal to Ruiwen's mouth. The latter blinked and looked at Elsa with the same cold expression on her face. She neither opened her mouth nor spoke.

However, compared to the previous blue-black cloak and black jumpsuit, Ruiwen was forced to wear a loose pajamas with anthropomorphic black moon and star patterns printed on it. Elsa's long hair has also been turned into two ponytails by Elsa. If it's just an image, this look of Ruiwen is more like the posture that an 11-year-old child should have.

Coupled with her slightly pale face and lips, she looks cute and sickly.

"Hey, open your mouth to eat!"

Seeing Ruiwen not cooperating, Elsa's tone did not change, she was still very gentle, she said:

"Kids have to eat well, otherwise they won't grow up, open their mouths!"

Riven still ignored her, the child's gaze turned behind Elsa, she looked at Merlin who was holding food and some clothes, a trace of annoyance flashed in her blue eyes.

"You brought me here?"

"Correct."

While opening the refrigerator, Merlin put the food he bought into the refrigerator, and at the same time put the clothes he bought from the supermarket on the coffee table with gravity. He said to the angry Ruiwen without looking back:

"Do you remember what happened before?"

"I just remember that I went to the pier with you and faced Sangong. Sangong cast a spell and let me absorb the seeds of power that I carried with me."

Ruiwen raised her hand and rubbed her forehead weakly, she said:

"It stands to reason that the integration of so many fragments will make my internal strength unbalanced and cause very bad things. But I am still here, you are still alive, and the entire city has no trace of destruction, so, I guess , a lot must have happened after I lost consciousness."

"Tell me, Merlin."

Ruiwen said to Merlin with a strong tone:

"Tell me what the hell happened!"

The little girl Ruiwen's questioning expression with staring eyes can still give people some pressure, but Merlin didn't care at all. He sat beside the discouraged Elsa, reached out and took the bowl and spoon in Elsa's hand, he Say to Raven:

"The 'Original Sin' in you is activated."

"You became very strong, very arrogant, very arrogant, like a blackened queen, you still chased me and said you would destroy the city."

A trace of fear flashed in Ruiwen's eyes, she subconsciously reached out and touched the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead like an ornament, she said:

"What happened later? Also, what happened to this crystal? Why am I so weak?"

"Snapped"

A bowl full of food was placed in front of Ruiwen, and Merlin put the spoon beside the bowl, and he said to Ruiwen:

"Want to know? Then eat well."

"Also, Elsa helped you clean your body, change your clothes, and take care of you all the time. Is that how you repay her with that attitude? Didn't the High Priest of Azaras and your mother teach you to communicate with other people? the basic principles of the

"you..."

Ruiwen looked at the food in front of her, and anger jumped in her beautiful eyes. She raised her head, and looked at Merlin with a stubborn expression.

"No one dared to treat me like this before!"

she says:

"Are you planning to bully me while I'm weak?"

"You may think so."

Merlin folded his arms and leaned on the sofa. He looked at Raven and said:

"But I'm just correcting your wrong behavior, Raven, little girl. I don't want you to become a sociopath when you grow up."

"Don't think that you have the right to meddle in my life because we have had a friendly conversation together!"

Raven screamed:

"I'm not your sister! I hate you, Merlin!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Elsa stood up and stood between Merlin and Ruiwen. She said to Merlin:

"Go back to your room! He is 30 years old, and he is arguing with a little girl. Look, she is about to cry."

"This is a matter between us brothers and sisters."

Merlin said unmoved:

"I promised others to take good care of her, but she must first accept the fact now...Riwen, at least until you recover from illness, you have to stay at home and learn to get along with others."

"Don't worry about it!"

Ruiwen gritted her teeth and jumped off the sofa with her hands supporting her body, but she only took one step before she fell to the ground with a scream.

When the supreme mage sealed the original sin, he also removed the darkness and sacred power that Ruiwen had in her body.

According to that boss, it will take at least half a year for the child to recover, and as long as there is a seal on her forehead, it will be difficult for her strength to return to the level of people blocking and killing people and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas. .

To be honest, Merlin didn't think it was a bad thing.

For an immature girl like Ruiwen, possessing such terrifying power will only exacerbate her sense of alienation from society.

But if a child is separated from other people's lives when he is a child, he will certainly not be able to integrate into the world when he grows up.She'll be a freak who's feared, hated, and loathed by society and other people herself.

That's not what Merlin wanted to see.

His and Raven's lives are twins, no one can deny their connection, and it's his responsibility to put Raven's life on the right track.

"Ouch, my poor little one."

Elsa watched Ruiwen fall, and the sympathetic woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to hug Ruiwen.

Raven struggled in her arms, but was finally picked up by Elsa and placed on her lap.

Elsa glared at Merlin fiercely. While comforting Ruiwen in a low voice, she picked up the bowl on the table, scooped up the food with a spoon, and put it into Ruiwen's mouth as before.

Raven was still a little embarrassed, but the night of coma and loss of strength really made her hungry, and she finally opened her mouth and swallowed the spoonful of food.

She raised her head, and saw Merlin leaning against the sofa looking at her with gentle eyes.

This made Ruiwen's cheeks flush a little, the girl snorted, turned her head to the side, and ignored the annoying Merlin.

Seeing this scene, Merlin shook his head. He stood up with a smile, exchanged glances with Elsa, and then walked into his underground alchemy room as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, it will take some time to get used to each other in order to achieve friendly communication with Ruiwen, the child is just like a hedgehog.

Habits of restlessness and loneliness made intimacy with other people unbearable for her.

And the heavy past she was carrying and the threat of Sangong hung in her heart, which made it difficult for her to have real friends.

Merlin can imagine that even though Ruiwen has lived in the world of Azaras for the past 10 years, even in that highly developed world of spiritual civilization, Ruiwen probably doesn't have many true friends, even with other people. There is very little human interaction.

"What a poor child."

Merlin closed the door of the basement. He sat on his cushion and took out the black grimoire given to him by the supreme mage from his pocket.

This grimoire, like other grimoires in the Holy of Holies, has thin chains binding the body of the book. On the front of the grimoire, there is an interlaced arc, similar to the pattern of eyes, which represents that this book is Kamatai. One of Ji's secret powers.

However, although this book is so thick, there is only one magic recorded in it.

Just from the obscure symbols on this page, one can see how difficult it is to learn such ultra-level magic. Merlin estimates that it may take him a month or even several months to truly understand the principle of this ultra-level magic , As for really mastering it, one year may not be enough time.

And this ultra-level magic has an unknown name.

"Hogarth's ancient body..."

Merlin turned the pages of the book, and under the illumination of the two light spells, he turned to the part he hadn't finished reading last time. Looking at the complicated mana model in front of him, he said softly:

"Let me see what surprises you can bring me."

---------------

"boom"

A document was thrown on the table.

A few photos inside leaked out of the folder during the beating. It was Mr. Chief, the subordinate leader of Hydra, and of course, the photo after his death.

It sounds a bit too sensational to cut your own neck off.

But what makes people feel even more frightening is that, except for 4 of the most loyal gunmen under the chief's command who died of accidental falls, all of them died because of long-term jumping until they were exhausted.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a murder case involving sorcery.

"Fu..."

The mysterious Mr. with his back to the window looked at the photos on the table. He leaned on the comfortable office sofa tiredly, looked up at the ceiling, and a tangled feeling rose from his heart.

"Merlin Riley."

This mysterious man stretched out his hand and took out a cigar from the drawer. As a person with status, fame and power, he must always pay attention to his image, so only when he is in a bad mood or extremely tired, he That's why I hid in the office and used cigars to relieve the pressure.

Mr. Mysterious Man is not a sensual person. To this day, he still maintains some military style. Although he occasionally uses tricks, but more often, he is more accustomed to using the method on the surface. Solve various problems.

This also gave him a very good reputation in his very high-end circle.

"Fu..."

Fragrant smoke rose in the office.

Along with the burning of the tobacco, His Excellency the mysterious man's spirit also relaxed.

In this relaxed state, he was thinking about a very important thing.

That is...

Facing the double strangling of Merlin and Fury in the dark and in the open, after the Red Skull faction was completely killed, what kind of response should the remaining Hydra factions make.

Speaking of which, His Excellency the mysterious man, he did not join Hydra voluntarily.

He inherited his father's beliefs when he was a child and became a member of this huge force. At that time, he was still very young and was not infected by the fanatical ideals of Hydra. He once very rejected this secret organization.

In order to avoid the interference of Hydra, he abandoned his good life and went to Vietnam to fight. He met Nick Fury on the world's worst battlefield and witnessed his country's suffering in that tropical jungle. stalemate and failure.

But after returning home, the situation has changed.

Hydra lacks the power to maintain the organization. To be more frank, this organization that has been suppressed since the end of World War II has lacked the interest relationship that can link the various factions together, and it has begun to fall apart.

This was a good thing for the mysterious person at the time, especially after he decided to devote himself to politics, those split and weak factions were easily incorporated by him and became his own help.

It was also after he set foot in the political arena that he came into contact with the truly orthodox force of Hydra, which is a very powerful political family. Because of the mutual connection between the two parties, he easily obtained their support, and then relied on their Resources, all the way up in the Strategic Science Corps, finally have their current position.

And before he knew it, the small faction of His Excellency the Mysterious Man also grew up with him, and eventually became the largest faction of Hydra in the new era, and thanks to the power in the hands of the Mysterious Man and his allies, Those forces that had been divided also began to gather around him again.

Without him even realizing it, he was suddenly, and within reason, elected to be the contemporary leader of Hydra.

And at this time, His Excellency the mysterious man suddenly realized that even if he wanted to quit, it was too late... Those people behind him, those intricate forces, would not allow him to quit.

But he is not a person who will admit defeat to reality. Since he cannot escape, he can only blend into it.

Under his leadership, Hydra, which was once on the verge of being broken, also survived the most difficult period, and was reborn from the ashes again.But unlike the organization that was full of fanatical idealism back then, under his leadership, Hydra has become a huge organization with linked interests.

It can be said that apart from the name, the Hydra now and the Hydra back then are completely two forces.

But since he enjoys the advantages brought by a large organization, he must also bear the troubles brought by this organization.

"If I had known about your relationship with the Richards..."

The mysterious man with a troubled face smacked out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray. With the sparks flying around, he said regretfully:

"I will definitely not agree with their adventure that time. The gain outweighs the loss... It's a big loss!"

He looked at the other side of the table, where there was Merlin's personnel file. He took the file, put it in front of his eyes, and opened it. He looked at the photo of Merlin, and there was a trace of regret and regret in his narrowed eyes. Pity.

"You should have been the best and best rising star of Hydra, and you should have been my best successor. Your potential and your complex social relationships will make Hydra's power go one step further."

"Alas... Fate has tricked people. Now, how should I deal with you, a troublesome person I cultivated by myself, Merlin."

After a while, Your Excellency the mysterious man stretched out his hand, pressed the communication phone on the desk, and said to the secretary outside the office:

"Paul, get in touch with Mr. Gideon for me. I have some details to discuss with him about next week's World Environment Organization meeting."

"Okay...Mr. Pierce, I'll help you get in touch."
