Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 565 23. Things Merlin Never Told You

The smoke and dust of the Sahara danced in the dawn sun, as if a life-and-death battle had just ended, but the next war was just around the corner.

It leaves no respite for the warriors, it corners them all the way.

Some people call it destiny, but in Merlin's view, it is just the result of one choice after another.

"What do we do now?"

Clark, wearing a yellow combat uniform and red gauntlets, held the fire in his hand. Even the fearless Kryptonians could feel the terrifying pressure when facing Magtron.

He has an innate sense of danger, and at this moment, his inner sense of crisis has never been beating so violently.

The robot in front of him has the ability to kill him...

This made Clark couldn't help but take a deep breath. He moved his body, adjusted his mind, and tried to get himself into a state suitable for fighting.

"Of course not fighting it head-on."

Merlin stretched out his hand, and Clark handed him the fire in his hand. Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the situation that was already besieged by all sides, and he said:

"be prepared..."

"Want to run?"

Clark whispered:

"It locked us in, I could feel it."

"We can run away at any time, the trouble is what happens after we run away..."

"crash"

Merlin said softly, and he activated the Transition Curse at the fastest speed in his life. At the moment when his and Clark's figures twisted, a beam of light like lightning fell from the sky, piercing the place where Merlin and Clark were, and the gravel It melted in an instant, and the ground couldn't bear the bombardment of this super energy. It was like an invisible heavy punch, crushing all the ground within 30 meters around.

"boom"

The figures of Merlin and Clark appeared in embarrassment on the land thousands of kilometers away from North Africa. Merlin's body was beating with residual energy, and those electric arcs were like running snakes, and they were like small locks , tightly locked on him.

Unable to atomize, unable to save, the strong sense of paralysis made it difficult for Merlin to move his fingers.

The energy used by Mega Chuang is obviously higher than that of Xing Xiao. This highly compressed energy is the natural nemesis of Merlin's magical physique. The injury, which is why Carol wants to give him the Kabai ring.

It's a pity that the enemy Merlin is facing now cannot be solved by a Kabye ring.

This point can be seen by looking at Clark beside him.

"Snapped"

The young farmer fell on the ground in a tumbling posture. The clothes on his whole body seemed to be scorched. The surface of his body was like Merlin's, with countless fine electric currents flowing. After the electric shock, Heihui was also in a terrible paralysis, and the Kabye ring on his finger was full of energy, and even felt like it was going to explode.

"It... really hurts!"

Clark opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke. He said tremblingly:

"Bastard, why do you encounter this kind of...enemies who are good at energy offensives every time?"

"It seems that you have the same weakness as me."

Merlin tried his best to straighten himself up. He took out the pink random door from his pocket and said to Clark:

"After this incident is over, let's do some special training... If you can fly, you must also learn to fly, otherwise... the future battles will be very difficult."

"I haven't agreed to join you yet."

The Kryptonian's body was indeed much stronger than that of the Earthlings, and Clark's paralysis symptoms recovered much faster than Merlin's. He got up from the ground and helped Merlin walk towards the door that was pushed open in front of him.

"boom"

A loud bang sounded behind them. Clark turned his head and saw a fast invisible fighter jet flying in the sky dozens of kilometers away. The speed was at least Mach 25 or higher. ..

"go!"

Clark's complexion changed drastically. He dragged Merlin and rushed into the arbitrary door in front of him in a distressed posture. The next moment, another lightning-like blue energy column fell from the sky.

The arbitrary door that hadn't been used a few times was crushed to powder the moment the energy poured out.

But this time, Merlin and Clark, who fled into the mysterious room, were temporarily separated from the dimension of the material world. Megatron's super radar, which could easily cover a continent, could no longer sense their existence.

But Megatron is not in a hurry.

The silver-gray fighter plane circled twice in the air, then flew back in the direction of North Africa.

As a boss, despite its great power, it never likes to fight alone.What it is eager to see is the conquest of groups and the revival of data civilization. It hopes to reshape the destroyed Cybertron star in the new world, and this huge plan cannot be completed by itself.

It needs help.

The flagship Violence full of Decepticon fighters is rushing to the solar system at the fastest speed. When Magtron's legion arrives in this world, no matter where Merlin and Clark are hiding, they will have nowhere to escape.

As for tinder...

Yes, tinder is important.

But if you focus on the conquest of a world, then the fire is not so important.

After all, even the traitor Starscream/Star Howl knows that there are other things that are more important to Cybertronian civilization hidden in this world... things that are more valuable than fire.

That thing is the real reason why Megatron, who had found the fire seed hundreds of years ago, accidentally fell to the earth and fell into a coma and shut down.

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

"Help me up."

In the hall of the mysterious house, lying on the ground, Merlin, who was attacked by the energy for the second time, even lacked the strength to move his fingers. The terrifying paralysis made him almost lose control of his body.

He looked at Xuan Lan for help, the latter bent down gently, stretched out his hand towards Merlin, and...

With a standard princess hug, Merlin was picked up from the ground.

"You are so reckless."

Xuanlan hugged Meilin and walked towards the sofa, she said with a trace of reproach:

"There is nothing more foolish than taking a risk against a strong enemy when you know you have a weakness. Your friend reminded you that those mechas are good at energy attacks, but you don't seem to heed the warning ..."

Xuanlan put Merlin on the sofa, she crossed her hips, and rang the hand bell. Soon there was a ghost servant lying behind her. Clark, who had fallen into a coma due to the excessive energy shock, helped him up and sent him into the guest room.

"What makes you think that you can survive the energy attack of that terrifying mechanical creature?"

Xuan Lan said with a cold face:

"Or, you are sure that you will not die, so you put yourself into this desperate situation several times in a row? Are you trying to challenge fate? If this is really the case, then I need to change my view of you. ..this is so stupid!"

Merlin didn't answer, he closed his eyes and tried his best to calm the waves of magic in his body.

In the mysterious house where everything is controlled by Xuanlan, the energy shackles on Merlin's body dissipated faster than the outside world. After a few minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xuanlan:

"I'm not challenging fate, Lan, Megatron's awakening was an accident. Any plan may encounter an accident...I'm just unlucky."

"So, you're betting on luck?"

Xuanlan said indifferently:

"Do you think you're lucky?"

"No, I'm having bad luck."

Merlin raised his hand, and the cold, crystal-like steel key was suspended at his fingertips. He said:

"So I will prepare a lot of plans...Plan B, the most important things are already in my hands."

"You should know that there will always be a mysterious connection between this technological product and its accompanying life."

Xuanlan said:

"It's useless in your hands, but as long as you return to the present world, that terrifying mechanical life will sense your location...Are you planning to use it as bait?"

"You're so smart, Lan."

Merlin praised him, but Lan gave him a blank stare in return.

He said resentfully:

"Well, I've been preparing ways to deal with it since I knew that Megatron might wake up. It's a pity that a person who can easily defeat, or even destroy Megatron... He lost his power .But that's okay, I have another option."

Merlin took a deep breath and said softly:

"A tough choice...but worth it."

"The previous battles have proved that within the scope of the earth, without Megatron, the remaining Decepticons are no threat. So as long as Megatron is removed, this mechanical storm will immediately subside."

"But they have reinforcements."

Xuanlan said:

"I heard from the Bumblebee who was restored here before that a ship called the Storm is full of enemy troops and sailing towards Earth. A strong commander, coupled with a group of brave This will lead to an extinction disaster. With all due respect, Master Merlin, the data confrontation between you and those robots has proved that modern human civilization will not be a group of machines in any aspect. man's opponent."

"Yes, your analysis is very good, Lan."

Merlin says:

"If the Magtron gets its army, Earth is doomed. But...what if, that ship doesn't come?"

Merlin turned his head to look at Xuanlan, a gentle light shone in his eyes, as if everything was under control.

"What if the robots who came here for conquest encounter an 'accidental' air crash among the stars? What if Megatron never waits for its own legion?"

"I admit, Lan, I admit that among all the enemies I have encountered, Megatron is the most restrained to me, and it is the guy who is really difficult for me to deal with now... But if it falls into isolation, And to provoke a formidable enemy who can restrain it as it restrains me?"

"Lan, I can tell you responsibly now. The Legion that Megatron is waiting for will never arrive."

Merlin stood up with some difficulty, and Xuan Lan handed him a delicate and low-key red cane at the right time. On the top of the cane was the image of a demon with wings carved from a skull.

The whole cane is cold to the touch, and its surface is smooth, like blood-colored jade.

"'Dracula's Tomb'?"

Merlin took the cane and used it to prop up his body. He nodded to Xuanlan, and said:

"Thank you, I just need such an ornament."

"Just got it right."

Xuanlan said:

"You can use it to cast spells when it's not convenient to use a wand."

"It fits very well."

Meilin smiled and said to Xuanlan:

"It's really great to have a housekeeper like you, Lan. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I feel that you are already a part of my life. Well, let's continue the previous topic."

Meilin leaned on a cane, walked towards the door of the mysterious house with Xuanlan's support, and said to Xuanlan:

"As you say, the tinder is a decoy."

"The battle between me and Megachuang is not over yet... It's only the second round. Don't look at it beating me so badly, but the one who laughs last is the real winner. After all, the goddess of victory only Will dance with the winner."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He stood at the door and said softly to Xuanlan:

"Also, please help me get something."

"what?"

Xuan Lan asked.

"In the storage room."

Merlin says:

"That warhammer..."

"You'd better think again!"

Xuan Lan's expression changed a bit, she dissuaded her:

"I know that in order to win, I have to pay something, but this price is a bit..."

"I want to win!"

Merlin stretched out his hand to hold Xuan Lan's hand, he looked into Xuan Lan's eyes, and said word by word:

"That is the order I guarded with my own hands. I have paid too much for it, and I can no longer withdraw...I will not let anyone destroy it!"

"Go ahead, Lan, get it here...if things go well, I won't have the chance to use it."

Xuan Lan stared into Mei Lin's eyes, in those eyes, she could not see any cowardice or hesitation, like a person who dedicated everything to something.

Like, a real man of faith.

"Ugh..."

Xuan Lan let out a long sigh, and she didn't refute anymore.She is the housekeeper, and she is ultimately unable to disobey her master's orders.

But before Xuanlan left, she asked again:

"This mysterious fire, which contains another kind of knowledge, is an extremely valuable item. If used properly, it can ingest enough benefits for you in the exchange with the mysterious spirit. So I am curious, What are you going to do with it?"

"It, all these disputes are caused by it. Many people are chasing it. Those Cybertronians, no matter they come with malicious or good intentions, their eyes will stay on it. A good thing. What is coveted always leads to conflict, and conflict leads to struggle, and struggle destroys order."

"Having it for anyone, including humans, is going to make the other players unhappy. It may be valuable, but it also represents endless trouble."

Merlin glanced at the crystal in his hand, and said softly:

"So, I'm going to..."

"Destroy it."
