Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 781 38. Decision

"Are you the one from before?"

Thor looked at Merlin's face, which seemed familiar to him.

After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the uncle he met outside Josie's bar when he and Daisy went out drinking a few months ago when he first moved to Hell's Kitchen.

Thor's eyes became strange. He remembered that Merlin was helping a drunk short-haired woman out of the bar.

In short, Merlin didn't look like a serious guy at that time.

"I get the feeling you're thinking something impolite."

Merlin looked at Thor's strange eyes, and he seemed to be able to guess what Thor was thinking.

He explained:

"That's my colleague... Forget it, it's useless to explain this to you. Anyway, as long as you recognize me."

"So all of this was arranged by you?"

Thor looked at Merlin suspiciously, he swung his warhammer, and asked in a blunt tone:

"That admission letter, my identity certificate, and that encounter, you have been monitoring me?"

"It might be better to replace the word 'monitoring' with 'protection'."

Merlin made a "please" gesture to Thor, and the two, one in front and one behind, walked towards the ruins of the small town of San Van Gonzale in the light of dawn.

Merlin did not hide what happened during this period of time, he said to Thor very frankly:

"After you disappeared from Asgard unexpectedly, Sif and Vostagg contacted me as soon as possible, and they asked me to take care of you. We first discovered the warhammer in your hand, and it has been kept in the past few months. Your loyal squire Skolchi is on watch."

"We are still trying to find you, but I have received a warning from your father that he will not allow us to intervene in your life on Earth."

Merlin says:

"As for the admission letter and identity certificate, it was entrusted to me by your dear mother who loves her son. She is worried about her son's experience in a strange world and wants to give you some help."

"Then there's the matter about Daisy's little girl renting the house to you... This was not arranged by me, it was completely accidental."

"But this is a good accident. You have to understand, Thor, your identity is different after all. As a public official on Earth, I will do my best to protect your safety without exposing you."

Merlin glanced back at Thor who was silent, and said:

"You can go to Sif, Vostagg, and Skolchi for verification, or simply go to your father's pet, Munin, who has been secretly protecting you on Earth under your father's order."

"If I'm not mistaken, this armed robot from Asgard should also be found by Mu Ning."

"No, if Sif and Vostagg can trust you, then I'm willing to trust you too."

After hearing Merlin's explanation, Thor, who had regained his strength, grinned. Under the sun, this smile...

How should I put it, it's really a bit naive, no wonder Liana keeps calling Thor "the stupid son of the Odin family".

Obviously a handsome and handsome guy, but this grin really ruined his image.

Thor doesn't care about his image, he is a warrior, and his true nature is carelessness.

He looked at the clothes on his body distressedly. The clothes had been almost destroyed in the battle with the Ghost Rider just now, and there were burnt holes everywhere.

After all, it wasn't forged by a master craftsman in Asgard, but Thor bought it from a clothing store in Hell's Kitchen for a few dollars. Don't expect its quality to be good.

"Here, put it on."

Merlin took out a set of casual clothes he was wearing from his pocket, which was also ordered from Mrs. Malkin in Diagon Alley.

For so many years, Merlin has been a famous wizard tailor and a valued client of the chubby Madam Malkin.

He not only prepared clothes for himself in that store, but also made clothes for his sister, nephew, sister, brother-in-law, and even colleagues and bosses.

Take Director Fury, for example, many of the clothes in that guy's closet were brought back by Merlin for him.

But the guy almost never pays.

Thor was not polite either, he took the clothes, showed that iconic smile to Merlin again, then turned around, not caring that there was a man beside him, and just changed his clothes rustling in the sun.

This guy is really in perfect shape.

Merlin noticed that even Icarus had secretly turned on the recording function of the spectacle frame, and he didn't know what weird things this artificial intelligence lady was thinking in her mind at this time.

"Actually, I have a question too, Thor."

Merlin looked at the thunder-splashing warhammer in Thor's hand. On the lens of Icarus, the energy index on the surface of the warhammer was active at a rather astonishing value.

他 说:

"You died once, right? I'm a wizard, I can feel the passing of life, I can be sure that you really died just now, the soul left the body, but now you are alive again..."

"Is this because of Mjolnir? This warhammer sensed that you were in danger, so it came to rescue you?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Thor straightened his tight shirt, which was crumbled by muscles. He looked back at Merlin, then pointed to his own brain, showing a helpless expression, and said:

"I do not know either."

"I have absolutely no memory of what happened in the short period after my death. Maybe my father helped, but I can't be sure."

He lifted the warhammer from the ground, and in the sunlight, the gleaming silver warhammer quickly changed its shape in Thor's hand, and soon turned into a plain black umbrella, which Thor held in his hand .

He waved his umbrella, then said to Merlin:

"As for Mjolnir, it is Asgard's legendary weapon. It has various magical effects. It is very easy to open people's heads, but it comes back to life..."

"This is not within the scope of what Warhammer can do. I prefer to believe that Stephen kept giving me first aid, so that I didn't die immediately."

"Dying!"

Thor touched his chest and said:

"During my near-death, I was brought back to life through the return of the power of Thor carried by Mjolnir."

Merlin's expression became a little weird. He didn't think the truth was what Thor said. This guy's previous death was absolutely real, even his soul flew out of his body.

This can't be faked.

But he didn't go any further. He looked at Thor who was wearing casual clothes and carrying a warhammer. The long golden hair of this handsome man was shining in the sun.

Like a god who fell into the world.

"So you're Thor again now?"

Merlin asked:

"The return of Thor's Hammer to your hands means that your father has forgiven you, and your exile on Earth is over?"

"Do not."

Thor raised the umbrella in his hand, and he looked at the umbrella shining with electric arcs. The moment the umbrella completely left his fingers, Thor's breath immediately became weak.

He spread his hands and said to Merlin:

"Look, I'm still an ordinary person, Mr. Merlin, Thor's godhead is still in Mjolnir, it hasn't returned to my body..."

"This may represent my father's attitude. I still need to stay on Earth, and my exile is not over yet."

His Royal Highness let the black umbrella hang in the air, he patted Merlin's shoulder very familiarly, like two soldiers chatting after a battle, he said:

"So, the current situation is that whoever holds this warhammer is Thor."

Thor blinked, he looked at Merlin:

"You can also give it a try, Your Excellency Merlin, maybe you, as the protector of the earth, can also be recognized by Mjolnir."

"I'll let it go."

Merlin didn't reach for it, he looked back at the Destroyer who disappeared in the colorful light.

The weapon from Asgard was taken back to God's Domain, and he watched the rainbow bridge disappear into the clouds of light, and he said:

"I've tried it before, I'm not its type...but then again, Thor, from the way you look, you plan to live on the earth forever, and you really haven't considered asking your old father Apologize and go home?"

"What I mean is, there is no overnight feud between father and son. Maybe your old man will forgive you if you say something nice to the sky."

"Do not."

Thor grabbed the umbrella that was floating in the air, and he walked to Merlin's side, watching the shining light in the sky with him.

At this moment, the carefree soldier became a little silent and a little melancholy, he said:

"I wish things were so simple, Mr. Merlin, I think people like you should be able to understand that everyone has their own obsessions in life..."

"My dad thinks I've done some things wrong, but I don't think I've done anything wrong, and I still don't think I've done anything wrong until now, after all this time."

"Maybe it seems silly to you, but if the price of going home is to let me give up my 1000-year-old persistence, then I'd rather stay here forever."

Thor looked at a clear blue sky, he clenched the umbrella in his hand, and said:

"I can't give up my persistence. I got Mjolnir's approval because of the guardian's persistence. Once I give up, once I change my mind... very bad things will happen. "

"Oh, I see, a battle of ideas."

Merlin nodded, he somewhat understood Thor's approach.

The civilization of the Asgardians is very strange, and their power system is also very strange.

A talented fighter must have a strong obsession, and with the improvement of their strength, this spiritual obsession will also evolve into a more advanced form of power.

That's an Asgardian concept of power...

godhead.

Just like Orochi's godhead of fear, if Thor wants to have the real godhead of Thor, he must stick to his own philosophy. Once he gives up halfway, Thor's unformed godhead will be over...

This seems to be just a trick between father and son, trying to get into a dead end.

But in fact, for Thor, this matter is far more than just bowing his head to his father.

"No wonder you are as stubborn as a rock in this matter."

Merlin nodded, he didn't bother with the matter anymore, he said to Thor:

"Now that everyone has explained things clearly, I won't hide some things."

"Thor, you took back Thor's Hammer and became a powerful god on earth, but this also means that our 'protection' of you must be upgraded. You have been on the earth for so long. There is some understanding of the current form."

He said to Thor:

"It is impossible for us to allow a person who can summon lightning and destroy half a city to move freely on the earth."

"I understand."

Thor said calmly:

"When I got Mjolnir, my father didn't allow me to release lightning at will in God's Domain. I know how much damage I can cause in this world."

"Although I will definitely not do that, but since you are so frank, I will be frank."

"You don't have to explain this to me, Merlin, and I don't care, just tell me what I should do."

"You can continue to live your life, continue to flirt with Miss Jane, and continue to work towards your goal of becoming a doctor. These are all fine."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He said to Thor:

"We will not interfere with your life plan, nor will we restrict your personal freedom. We only have one request. When living on Earth, you cannot use your power casually."

"Due to your special situation, I will be responsible for your regulatory actions..."

"Or, if you want, I mean, I hear you're a war-loving, hard-to-quiet guy, so maybe you could join Earth's official superhero group."

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"I can't guarantee that you will have a good time there, but if you want to find some tough guys to practice your hands on, then I can definitely grant you that wish."

"emmmm"

Thor rubbed his chin, he was thinking, after a while, he said to Merlin very readily:

"Well, it sounds interesting to fight with the warriors of Midgard."

"But I can only join you in my spare time, and I can't delay my studies. I promised Jane that I will graduate as quickly as possible, and then I will have my own clinic."

"Okay, let's count you as a reserve. Speaking of which, your relationship with Ms. Jian is really good, and although it's very unpleasant to talk about it now..."

Merlin looked at Thor, and he said in a low voice:

"But Thor, Sif is also my friend. You should know that there is a woman in Asgard waiting for you to go back, right?"

Thor's expression changed, and a trace of tangle appeared on that handsome face.

Merlin shook his head, he looked at Thor with some pity, um, another hot-blooded man who got into a debt of love...

But Merlin didn't bother Thor's entanglement, it was something Thor had to make up his mind, and no one else could help.

He took a few steps forward quickly, and stood in front of the bewildered Doctor Stephen Strange.

He looked at the distraught doctor. What happened in the past night made the doctor a little overwhelmed.

There was exhaustion and bewilderment in his eyes, and he looked at Thor, as if he was re-examining his friend.

Merlin waved and threw a cleaning spell on him to help him wash off the blood stains and mud on his clothes. The feeling of magic flowing on his body also woke up Doctor Strange.

He looked at the jumping light on his body curiously, and he said to Merlin:

"You...are you like them too?"

"No, I'm not like them."

Merlin waved his hand, and he explained:

"I'm just an ordinary person, I just mastered a little magic. Of course, I think you should care more about yourself than I care about my problems..."

Merlin looked at Strange's face, and Icarus quickly projected the doctor's identity information on Merlin's lens. Merlin pushed the glasses, and he said to the doctor in front of him:

"Stephen Strange, I'm sorry to have involved you in this terrible incident. I'm glad to see that you were not hurt. It shows that you are really lucky, but now it's time to say goodbye. doctor."

Merlin drew his wand from his waist, and he said to Stephen:

"Getting involved in supernatural events can be overwhelming, but don't worry, we're experienced in dealing with such things."

"Doctor Stephen, are you ready to return to the world of ordinary people after a night that drove you crazy?"
