Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 733 37. Dum himself

Victor von Doom.

The current ruler of Latvinia, a small country in Eastern Europe, is a feudal king, a ruthless reformer, and is said to be a just and strict majesty.

In the few years since he took over the national governance of Latvinia, the small Eastern European country that was originally closed and backward with a population of only about 50 has rapidly become open and prosperous.

According to the information of the European branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., the mysterious iron-fisted king has set up several high-tech factories controlled by the state in Latvinia to produce various high-tech commodities and export them to several surrounding countries. , which has paid off handsomely in just a few years.

But Dum did not put this wealth into his own warehouse like the previous royal family of Latvinia. On the contrary, he used this wealth to improve the country's infrastructure, invest in more people's livelihood projects, and make the entire country's poor economy Improving quickly.

Of course, it is also because Latvinia is a miniature country that it can be turned upside down within a few years, but this also proves the superpower of the mysterious Lord Doom. He almost changed everything by himself. own country.

This gave King Doom a very high reputation in Latvinia, almost becoming a "saint" in the hearts of the people of that country.

Of course, Merlin also knows more information about this ruler, for example, he was a college classmate of Reed and Susan, for example, his mother was a gypsy witch, and his mother's soul fell into the In the hands of the great devil Mephisto.

For another example, Doom always wears a mask, not just to create mystery, but more because he was disfigured in an experiment when he was young, and so on.

"Come out, uninvited guest."

In the laboratory on the top floor of the Baxter Building, Merlin yelled to the empty corner. He pulled out his wand from his waist and flicked it in the air. In the etiquette among wizards, he said:

"Do you need me to arrange an appearance ceremony for you? Your Majesty Doom."

"No, no need."

A slightly muffled voice sounded in the empty laboratory, and as the masking magic was removed, Victor von Doom appeared in front of Merlin.

He was wearing a green hood and a medieval-style battle robe. Under the battle robe was a set of silver steel armor that covered almost every inch of Doom's skin. Under his green hood, he wore a slightly The weird metal mask left holes for the eyes, a movable mouth, and a nose bridge shaped like a battle helmet.

It looks a little weird, like a person immersed in role-playing.

But this is just appearance.

In Merlin's eyes, the magic halo surrounding Doom was extremely dazzling, and it had already exceeded the level of magic power that a formal wizard should have. This guy is obviously a great wizard, but I don't know which aspect of magic Doom is good at. Or, could he be an all-rounder who is proficient in all kinds of magic?

And even his seemingly ordinary armor is actually not ordinary at all. There is a huge amount of energy circulating on the metal discs on the left and right sides of the armor that look like decorations. Although the shapes are not consistent, Doom's This set of armor still reminded Merlin of Tony Stark's Super Mark.

Although compared with the full-bodied Super Mark, Dum's armor is a bit too plain.

"Victor von Doom."

The moment Dum appeared, he waved his left hand, touched his chest lightly, leaned slightly towards Merlin, and said softly:

"I salute you, Your Excellency the Great Wizard Merlin."

"I also salute you, Your Excellency the Great Wizard Doom."

Merlin also made a similar etiquette. This is the respect wizards should have for powerful spellcasters. Just because they are all walking on the path of magic, they are very clear to each other, how much effort is needed to reach this step.

Just the persistence and dedication of both parties to magic is worthy of admiration.

"So, Your Majesty Doom, did you come all the way here to see your old friend Reed?"

Merlin asked straightforwardly:

"Or should we take advantage of this smart man's inability to resist, and mock him well, and teach him a lesson by the way?"

"I'm not here for Reed."

Doom, with a restrained gleam in his eyes beneath his iron mask, replied:

"There was no grudge between my Reid, maybe he told you about what happened between me and him, but it's not worth remembering. I was too reckless when I was young and made mistakes. It's my punishment, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"So you're here for Lady Susan?"

Merlin glanced at Susan Stone, who was constantly fading and reappearing in the biological cabin, and said to Dum:

"For your lover?"

"once."

Doom stepped forward, and Merlin didn't stop him from approaching Susan's biological cabin. The magic power on Doom's body was unbelievably peaceful, which proved that he was not prepared to do anything excessive.

Under Merlin's gaze, the man in the iron mask stood in front of the biological cabin. He quietly looked at the painful Susan in the biological cabin. He stretched out his hand with the iron armor and touched the surface of the biological cabin, as if touching Like Susan's cheeks.

"Do you know what is going on with this mysterious energy in them?"

Merlin says:

"I tested it with magic, and it doesn't belong to the category of magic. My friends tried to suppress them with the power of technology, but unfortunately, they tried several methods, but they also had no effect."

"Of course, I know."

Dum withdrew his fingers, looked at the other three biological cabins, and said:

"The sudden solar storm will trigger a burst of cosmic rays. In most cases, the energy attached to these rays will be dissipated in the stars. Even if they enter the earth, most of them will be consumed by the atmosphere. The remaining It is not enough to affect the human body. But if the human body is directly exposed to the mysterious cosmic rays, it will trigger a series of uncontrollable consequences."

"Alienation, or simply dying out, the human body is too fragile to survive in that high-energy environment."

"But they were lucky, those energies merged into their bodies in an unknown way, changing their life forms."

Dum glanced at Reed, who was already in a mass of meatballs. He shook his head and saw Ben whose whole body had turned into a rock structure. Tom scoffed at this even more.

"This is an unknown field, whether it is magic or technology, it represents unknown knowledge."

Doom looked back at Merlin, and said:

"So in the face of this kind of out-of-control superpower, magic and technology, a single power cannot solve it."

"Seeing how confident you are, Lord Doom, I guess you can help them?"

Merlin says:

"You're actually here to help them, aren't you?"

"I wear a mask, Your Excellency Merlin, how do you know that I am full of confidence?"

Doom asked a tricky question that left Merlin speechless, but then, with a few more low-pitched laughs, he said:

"To solve this kind of problem that has never appeared before, we must use a more reasonable method. Technology and magic both have limitations, but if you combine the two into one, then a brand new road will appear in front of you... .”

"Yes, Lord Merlin, I came here to help them, but it's not because I have good intentions, it's just because I have an old relationship with Susan... that's all."

"Is it love?"

Merlin blinked and asked:

"You still love this lady? I heard that you pursued her in college?"

"Only children talk about love all day long. Are you a child? Your Excellency Merlin."

Dum's figure flashed, and he came to the operating table of the laboratory like a teleporter. His fingers were tapping on the keyboard. After a few seconds, he took the control of the laboratory equipment from Icarus. right.

While activating several experimental equipment, he said:

"I originally planned to complete this matter alone without disturbing anyone, but another great wizard is here, which saves me a lot of complicated work. Your Excellency Merlin, I need your help, or please leave now, take over What I'm going to do next will be a bit risky... After all, I'm not very sure about this kind of unknown thing."

Dum is worthy of being a king. After entering the laboratory, he quietly took the initiative. There is an unconvincing power in his heavy voice. This is not from magic or power, maybe more It is the personality charm that people often say.

But this guy is also a very controlling person. He likes to forcefully give others choices instead of asking others to make choices.

But Merlin was not angry, on the contrary, he seemed very interested in what Doom would do next.

"What do you need me to do?"

Merlin asked, holding his wand.

Doom said without looking up:

"I will use the outdated equipment in this laboratory to extract the huge and bloated energy from the bodies of the four people..."

"It can't be done!"

Merlin shook his head and said:

"We have tried. Once the energy leaves the bodies of the four of them, it will become very violent and cannot be stored in an aggregated form. If it is released, it will explode immediately, and its power is far beyond the same level. bomb."

"You guys can't do it!"

Dum interrupted Merlin, he raised his head and looked at Merlin:

"Did you lose your mind when I spoke just now? Your Excellency Merlin, as I said, to solve problems, you must combine magic and technology... Besides, it's impolite to interrupt others, your magic teacher Didn't I teach you basic etiquette?"

"Sorry, but I'm self-taught."

Merlin shrugged:

"Those of us who don't understand etiquette speak like this. If you offend, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"..."

Dum glanced at Merlin, he didn't continue to reprimand, he said:

"You should know that in the category of traditional magic, there is a theory that any energy can be converted into magic power, as long as you find the right way."

"So, after I have extracted the energy, I need you to take that energy, convert it into pure magic, and then use Mimicry to make them into magic gems."

"Ah."

Merlin nodded, he frowned and said:

"I have two questions."

"Say."

While typing on the keyboard, Dum placed four energy probes on top of the four people's biological cabins. After the probes entered the biological cabins, the energy entrenched in the four of Reed's bodies immediately became irritable. Colored electric arcs danced on the probe, looking extremely dangerous.

"first."

Merlin says:

"Your plan sounds simple, so tell me, where is the difficulty?"

"difficulty?"

Dum said:

"There is no difficulty. The only thing to note is that when you receive energy, you need to maintain a certain frequency of conversion speed. If the conversion speed is too fast, it will easily drain the energy on Reed and Susan, causing them to be filled with energy rapid body and organ failure."

"But if the conversion speed is too slow, it will lead to energy accumulation. The energy derived from cosmic rays is very violent. Once there is a large-scale accumulation, it is easy to cause an accident... This building and even this block will be wiped out. "

Doom looked at Merlin and said:

"But I believe that this is not difficult for a self-taught great wizard. Your understanding of magic power is deep enough to allow you to accurately grasp the frequency of energy and magic power conversion."

"oh, I understand now."

Merlin nodded, Dum explained very straightforwardly, so he asked the second question.

"How to make magic gems? I haven't heard of or studied the mimicry spell you mentioned."

"Of course you haven't."

Doom inserted a special chip in his hand into the groove of the console. This is the calm king who turned his head and looked at Merlin. He said:

"99% of the wizards in the world have never heard of it. Because it's a spell I just created 2 months ago."

"As for the magic gem, it is the witchcraft of the gypsies, and only their witches can use it. They will make the magic power into a gem that can be carried around and stored for a long time. When needed, you can get a supplement of magic power. "

"Um, so you're going to share your original spell with me? And without any exchange?"

Merlin said with strange eyes:

"Your Majesty, have you always been so generous?"

"It's just a spell, in exchange for Mr. Raven's kindness. This is a very cost-effective exchange. In fact, Your Excellency Merlin, I am not here just for Susan. I also have some things to ask for your help. "

Doom took a deep look at Merlin, and with the twitch of his fingers, a rolled up scroll was thrown towards Merlin, and he said:

"But for now, let's get down to business."

"You have 15 minutes to learn how to make Mimic spells and magic gems. I believe this time is enough for you."
