Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 941 39. Legacy and Discovery

At midnight, Carol Danvers dragged his tired body and drove away from Queens alone.

The children, Jin Wan, stayed at Mei's house. After losing an important person, the family always stayed together.

May is heartbroken, and she needs her children by their side to support her.

Carol was also retained, but she couldn't stay there.

It's not that Carol is reluctant to share her grief with Merlin's loved ones, it's just that she has more important things to do.

Horus' transformed black car moved forward silently in the night.

No need for Carol to drive, this car will take her to her destination.

In the dim light of the carriage, Carol leaned on the driver's seat, looking at the quiet night outside the window, she was very strange to this city.

Even when she was still living on Earth, she rarely came here.

She knew there was a bar here, where she and Merlin made love.

But she doesn't want to go there now.

She felt empty in her heart, as if she had been emptied of thoughts, and she was slow to do everything, and she couldn't cheer up.

As long as she closes her eyes, the image of Merlin dying in her arms will appear in her mind, just like a nightmare.

"You finally honestly said you love me..."

Carol reached out and touched the piece of ice dotted with orange light hanging around her neck, a fleeting tenderness appeared on her face.

She held the impermeable ice cube.

She whispered:

"It's just a little late..."

"You just walked away easily, but left everything to me to clean up...Merlin, you really are..."

"Merlin has always cared about you, Ms. Carroll."

Horus, who had been advancing silently, suddenly spoke:

"I've seen him write to you. He always has a smile on his face. It's hard for me to see Merlin's smile on other things."

"Stop it, robot."

Carol sighed, curled up in the driver's seat as if asleep, and whispered:

"What you say will only make me feel worse."

"Tell me something else, such as the stories about Merlin in your memory."

"I haven't seen him for more than ten years. It's almost like the most familiar stranger. Alas, in my life, it's probably very difficult to meet someone like Merlin again."

"Tell me, robot, let me listen."

"Ok."

Horus cast a blue shadow in front of the bridge, and it whispered:

"If you will listen... Mistress."

"Ok?"

The changed address of Horus brought a smile to the corner of Carol's mouth. She shook her head and said:

"Go ahead."

Ten minutes later, Horus stopped smoothly in front of the mysterious house, and the door opened automatically.

Wearing a long windbreaker and a baseball cap, Carol walked to the door of the mystery house with the box in his arms.

Before she knocked, the door opened automatically.

Wearing a black and white tuxedo and wearing a monocle, Xuan Lan stood at the door, warm lights came from the mysterious room, and a halo of light shone behind Xuan Lan.

She looked at Carol in front of her, and Carol was also looking at her.

The super sense from Ms. Marvel made Carol realize that what was standing in front of her was not a real life.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Carol always felt that the woman's cheeks in front of him were somewhat familiar, and she seemed to have some unique relationship with Merlin.

The two women looked at each other, and there seemed to be an invisible aura unfolding, which surprised even Horus who was parked by the side of the road.

The car started silently and drove into the garage of the mysterious house from the other side.

"Hi, Ms. Carroll."

After a few seconds, a smile appeared on Xuanlan's face, she turned slightly sideways, and made a "please" gesture.

She said softly:

"Please come in."

Carol nodded, and stepped into the mysterious room in front of him.

She walked on the textured carpet and followed Xuan Lan into the hall, where Carol was sitting on the sofa by the burning fireplace.

Xuanlan rang the handbell, and soon there were ghostly servants in medieval clothes serving refreshments to the guests.

Carol looked at the decoration of the mysterious room. She felt as if she had entered a medieval castle. She picked up the teacup, and the temperature of the tea in the cup was just right.

After sipping a cup of tea, Carol looked at Xuan Lan who was sitting opposite her.

she says:

"I...I'm here to deliver something."

"Merlin left something behind. I asked Lorna, and she told me that you are the person Merlin trusts the most, and you have been taking care of Merlin's private life."

"I haven't been back to Earth for many years, and I don't know much about Merlin's friends and social circle."

"So I think maybe it's best to leave these things to you to dispose of."

Carol pushed the box in front of him to Xuanlan's eyes.

The latter opened the box with her fingers in white lace gloves, and she saw the things in the box. Carol kept observing Xuanlan's expression.

After a few seconds, she couldn't help asking:

"I can sense from what the children told me that the relationship between you and Merlin should be very close..."

"Merlin is the master of the mysterious house, and also my master. He theoretically owns everything I have, and the only purpose of my existence is to serve him, take good care of him, and satisfy all his requirements."

Xuanlan's tone was calm. While stroking the things in the box, she said without raising her head:

"Will my relationship with Master Merlin trouble you, Ms. Carroll?"

"Do not."

Carol shook her head as she sipped her tea.

she says:

"I don't care, I just think that when you saw Merlin's relic, you were a little too calm."

"You're only upset because you call them relics."

Xuan Lan picked up the broken wand Lola, she looked at the wand damaged by the huge energy with regret, she said softly:

"I wouldn't call it that..."

"It's just that Master Merlin deposited some things with me."

Xuan Lan took out the broken bone remains from the box, and the blood bone staff called "The Power of Saint Van Gonzale" was shattered into several pieces during the battle.

But fortunately, the most important black skull head is still intact.

"I'll fix them."

Xuanlan said:

"Store them in this house, waiting for Master Merlin to use them again."

"he died..."

Carol closed her eyes, and she said:

"He died in my arms. I can feel the passing of the soul and the collapse of the body. He will not come back again, Xuan Lan."

"That's just your opinion."

Miss Spirit Body continued to pack the things in the box without paying attention, and there was no stubbornness in her tone.

But that calm expression represented her indestructible cognition at this time.

She didn't think Merlin was dead.

Xuanlan stood up, rang the hand bell, and soon a ghost servant sent a special storage box.

She put Lola, the broken wand, into the box.

Then he picked up a few broken blades with his fingers, and there was a cold light shining on the blades. They were fragments of the silver sword Vlad that Merlin carried with him.

There is also silver-white metal in the box, which looks like it has been burned, and it shines with a peculiar light under the lights of the mysterious house.

Urukin.

Originated from Asgard, the realm of the gods, it is a fragment of the wrathful halberd.

While putting away the fragments of these weapons, Xuan Lan said to Carol who was sitting in front of her eyes:

"I heard about you from Master Merlin. Before becoming a superhuman, you were a soldier. You have never been involved in the mysterious world. You don't know what those forces can do."

Xuan Lan chuckled, she reached out to open Merlin's magic pocket.

With a soft groan, Buster, the only vibration-gold long sword that was still intact, was taken out and put into another box.

Xuan Lan continued:

"But I know that I was born in a world that you can't imagine. In my life, I have seen too many incredible things."

"Master Merlin told me before leaving that he will definitely come back."

Xuan Lan stretched out her hand and brushed the surface of the wriggling and weak symbiote Beowulf. She raised her head and looked at the thoughtful Carol.

she says:

"He will definitely come back, if you really love him, then wait with hope, you can live a long time..."

"You'll always have plenty of time."

The housekeeper said nothing, and she ignored Carol.

She sorted out what was left in the box.

The orange, power seeds originating from Sangongmo are placed in a special crystal bottle.

There is also the demon sword Muramasa that Merlin used against Wolverine Logan during the war. This weapon should theoretically be returned to the X-Men, but Xuanlan does not intend to do so.

She wants to keep this sharp blade that can kill the self-healer.

Laura that kid might use it in the future.

"Jingle"

When Xuan Lan lifted the box, something fell on the table.

It was a quaint, bronze-colored ring studded with a gemstone.

"Kabai..."

Carol stretched out his finger, picked up the ring, and placed it in front of his eyes.

She looked at the ring, which she had given to Merlin, which was obtained from the Kree, which could absorb energy, store it and fight back.

After so long, Merlin no longer needs it.

But he still carried the ring with him.

"you're right."

Carol looked at the ring in her hand, with a smile on her lips.

She brought the ring back to her finger, then spread out her five fingers, and looked at them in front of her eyes.

She said softly:

"What I saw created a nightmare in my head that prevented me from seeing things from another perspective."

"Maybe I should really hope, be as determined as you are... After all, who asked me to fall in love with a man with magic?"

Carol smiled and brushed his long hair.

She stood up, put on her baseball cap again, and said to Xuan Lan:

"I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back to see those children... Merlin is gone, they will need me."

Xuan Lan nodded.

She didn't get up to send Carol off, she searched for something of value in Merlin's magic pocket, but apart from Gu Gu's cat food, there were only some daily necessities left.

"and many more."

Just as Carol was about to walk out the door, Xuanlan called to her.

Carol turned her head and saw Xuan Lan holding a special object in her hand. The housekeeper said to Carol:

"There is another thing like this, which looks like a coordinate."

"Ok?"

Carol turned around and took the gadget in Xuanlan's hand. She picked it up and looked at it over and over again. Carol's expression became weird.

She said to Xuanlan:

"This is the communicator of the Skrull spaceship, and there is an activated coordinate on it. It seems that it is a spaceship leaving the solar system...Why does Merlin have this in his hand?"

"Because Nick Fury was replaced by a Skrull."

Xuanlan suddenly realized and said to Carol:

"Merlin mentioned this to me. Perhaps, the replaced Nick Fury was locked in that spaceship."

"Is that so?"

Carol frowned, she put away the communicator, she said:

"So it looks like I'm going to travel among the stars recently."

She raised her head and smiled at Xuanlan, she stretched out her hand towards Xuanlan, she said:

"The children will take care of you while I'm away."

"I raised them."

Xuan Lan looked at Carol's hand, but didn't hesitate to reach out to hold it.

She said softly:

"To them, you are just a stranger."

"Carol, you are just their brother's ex-girlfriend, if you want to get their approval, you really still have a lot of work to do...Also, Miss Elsa..."

"Something happened to Elsa."

Carol withdrew her hand, and she said vaguely:

"I'll take care of it, don't worry, and thanks for the hospitality."

After finishing speaking, Carol walked out of the mystery room, where Horus was already waiting for her.

Xuanlan stood at the door, watching the black car disappear at the end of the street, she turned around, closed the door, picked up the things on the table, and walked into Merlin's storage room.

The housekeeper put those things on the shelves in the storage room and wiped them clean.

After several minutes, she turned around and was about to leave.

But when opening the door, Xuanlan suddenly saw the three magic weapons placed in the corner.

Green bells, silver wheels and red pots.

The appearance of these three magical weapons is the same as before, but after being used by Merlin, the power of the seal has been taken away, and only the sealed items are left here.

If there is no accident, after 200 years, the three ancient demons who have gone crazy will be sealed back here again.

But in 200 years, these three things are no different from ordinary collectibles.

But Xuanlan stared at the three magic weapons, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She stepped forward, squatted there, and reached out to touch the three things.

She could feel some regurgitated magic power echoing in the three magic weapons, outlining a gloomy howl.

And in the touch of fingers, Xuanlan could still hear the indistinct screams of the three ancient demons, as if they were going through some painful things.

"It shouldn't be, they are not controlled by the owner..."

A trace of doubt flashed in Xuan Lan's eyes.

But the next moment, that light turned into a surprise.

A few seconds later, Xuanlan stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist on her body, then opened the door and walked out of the storage room.

She seemed happy and walked briskly.

He even hummed a song with an odd tone.

Accompanied by Xuanlan swaying her body and walking deeper into the mysterious house, amidst the wafting of the song, the whole mysterious house quietly disappeared in the dark night.

As if it never appeared.
