Text 45. Secrets of the Royal Family. Attilan

After solving the matter of the Asgardians and sending out two letters, Merlin did not rest idle.

He has another matter on hand to attend to.

About another alien visitor.

The member of the royal family who came to the earth from an alien city outside the earth was also captured in the previous battle against the Cree, and was rescued together with the Asgardians. In the past few days, he has been Rest in the afterlife of the Inhuman Organization.

His name was Tritan, and Merlin had never met him, but according to Coulson, he was a guy with a very serious physical mutation.

Under the distorted light of the Displacement Curse, Merlin came to the alien base camp in the Himalayas. In the valley in front of him, there was a city like a small town. It was noon at this time, and there was also smoke lingering over the city. .

Merlin could also see some very young alien children chasing and playing on the grass outside the town, and some old people leisurely basking in the sun.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, this hidden town is unexpectedly filled with a simple and simple atmosphere of life.

Merlin looked at the valley town in front of him. He originally planned to go directly to the town, but now, he stopped. The town and him seemed to be separated by a world, and he didn't want to disturb the peace there. atmosphere of.

After s.d.o.l.d. and the afterlife had a cooperative relationship, the location of this place was no longer a secret to Merlin. Of course, even in S.H.I.E.L.D., only a few people knew the exact location of the afterlife.

Most of the aliens living here are true pacifists, especially after Gordon took over the organization, it is more and more inclined to an alien reservation that does not involve any politics, like a sanctuary-like area .

In the cooperation between the two, those reserve aliens who live in the world of ordinary people and are very painful because they are on the verge of transformation will be found by the agents, and then sent to the afterlife for transformation or treatment.

They can freely choose to be aliens or ordinary people.

Once they choose to give up the abilities of aliens, they will be terminated by the elders of the afterlife using some kind of secret technique to terminate the transformation, and then sent back to modern society. Of course, for those guys with serious violent tendencies, the next life will not give them a chance to transform.

Gordon and the current leader of the mutants, Professor Charles, have similar ideas. He is willing to help every alien who needs help. He regards every alien as a compatriot, but he also has a brain. A destructive guy who uses his innate strength to do things that cannot be forgiven.

From this point of view, Gordon is already a very good leader. Although he has no eyes, he now sees things related to the future of other people more thoroughly than Jiaying did back then.

Just a few seconds after Merlin arrived in the afterlife, Gordon also appeared in front of him in the beating of blue light, coming to greet him.

"You guys have a nice place."

Merlin says:

"It's a great place to retire."

"Yes, it's really not very suitable for ambitious young people."

Gordon, still in his same plaid shirt and brown jacket, said to Merlin:

"You asked Lincoln to recruit young people to join your department. As a result, the guy just raised his arms, and a dozen people chose to leave here. I can understand them. For restless young people, no matter how beautiful the place is, wait After a long time, you will also start to yearn for the outside world.”

"That's also because they have power."

Merlin pushed his glasses, he said:

"A powerful person is always unwilling to be alone."

"Okay, Gordon, you and I are busy, so let's get down to business."

Merlin said to Gordon:

"That Tritan, that member of the alien royal family, is still here with you, right?"

"right."

Gordon nodded, and he said to Merlin:

"He is recuperating, and at the same time, he is also waiting for you. But he is not here now, and the environment here is not very suitable for him. Come with me, and I will take you to meet him."

Gordon reached out and opened the blue space door, and he reached out to Merlin.

Merlin looked at Gordon's outstretched hand, he shrugged and said:

"Let us two big men stop playing the game of holding hands. You go first, and I will arrive later."

"Your thinking is really weird sometimes."

Gordon snorted, and he disappeared into the blue light. Merlin then cast the transfer spell. After Gordon left obvious traces of space jumping, he easily caught the strange man's body. Drop point.

"swish"

Merlin appeared on a raging and turbulent coast. To be precise, the place where he landed was the top of a giant reef standing on the beach.

The sea tide rolling from the front hit the reef, making the stone wet. The moment Merlin landed, his clothes were wet by the splashing sea water around him.

This made Merlin frowned. He pulled out his wand and cast a cleansing spell on himself. Soon, all his clothes were back to normal, and an invisible magic shield appeared in front of his eyes. sea ​​water.

Gordon was standing next to him. This guy didn't care about the sea water splashing around. He squatted on the edge of the reef, put his hands in the tumbling sea water, and swelled his energy, as if he was calling for some kind of creature in the deep sea. .

Merlin watched this scene, he asked curiously:

"That Tritan, his ability is water control?"

"No, not just water control."

Gordon replied without looking up:

"He's the Inhuman Sea King. He has powers you've never seen before, Merlin. He's a member of the royal family."

"In the alien culture, this not only shows his noble status, but also describes his ability. He has the purest alien blood, and he has benefited from that blood, becoming the most powerful alien in history. one."

"The sea is his domain."

"Is it that powerful?"

Merlin said:

"Actually, your ability is also very strong. Gordon, you are still very young. I heard that your aliens will grow with age, and your strength will continue to strengthen. Maybe in the future, your ability will be advanced again. At that point, you too will be royalty, right?"

"That's for later."

Gordon stood up, shook the water off his hands, and said:

"I know what you want to ask, Merlin, you agents always talk around the bush. After staying with you for a long time, Lincoln has also learned this way of speaking, which makes people not like it."

"Let me just say it, although the afterlife has re-established contact with the royal family of Attilan, it doesn't mean that we will return to the Inhuman Dynasty and not to mention that the distance between the two is too far away. More, maybe It's a clash of ideas."

Having said that, Gordon sighed, and he said softly:

"The Afterlife Organization has been a place to keep warm since its birth. There is no high or low in our town. Regardless of whether there will be body changes after being transformed by the Terrigen Mist, everyone is a real family. Jiaying and I also Always trying to make everyone family."

"Unfortunately, the Yiren Dynasty has a different view on this."

"Maybe they are powerful, maybe they have the most orthodox inheritance. In short, in their society, there are ranks among people."

Gordon paused, and continued:

"In the eyes of the emissary Tritan, only a few aliens, including me and Lincoln, are eligible to enter the palace in the afterlife. The other aliens are just low-caste pariahs who can't stand on the stage in the eyes of the alien dynasty."

"Caste, untouchables"

Gordon shook his head, and said in a low tone:

"I really don't know, it's already the 21st century, there are still people who would use this title to address their compatriots, and there are still people who will support such a system."

"shh"

Merlin made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said to Gordon:

"Someone is here, we will talk about these words later."

"Um."

Gordon closed his mouth sensibly.

In front of him and Merlin, on the surface of the sea hundreds of meters away, the sea water began to churn abnormally. Under Merlin's gaze, a super-large vortex-shaped water ring extended from the deep sea, and the sea water was shaking violently. , making a sound like a giant beast swallowing water.

The sea water was spinning faster and faster, and after a few seconds, it even formed a water column like a seaspout, like a cool debut ceremony.

Merlin saw the fish that were sucked into the air by the sea water, and even the big white shark that followed the water drops and rushed up. The shark was more than 7 meters long, and it was an out-and-out deep-sea monster.

And behind the white shark, riding a strange guy.

That should be the emissary from the Inhuman royal family, the Inhuman Sea King Tritan.

"crash"

During the surge of the water, the white shark crossed a gorgeous water wave in the air, and then jumped into the sea from a height of several meters like the most perfect diving action. It carried the "sea knight" behind it, Dangerous traces were drawn under the water surface, and they quickly swam towards the reef where Gordon and Merlin were.

Watching such a huge and rare behemoth approach is really a little scary.

But whether it was Merlin or Gordon, they were well-informed people, and they would not be scared by a beast living in the deep sea. When Merlin was still weak, he had seen even scarier things on Skull Island.

This vicious-looking white shark is just a younger brother in the terrifying ecosystem of Skull Island.

"I heard your call, Lord Gordon."

The manipulated shark stopped at the edge of the reef, and the "man" riding behind the shark reached out and patted the shark's fin, as if saying goodbye to it.

He jumped off the back of the shark, and lifted by the current, he rose slowly from the bottom of the water.

And that great white shark circled this guy twice, then swung its tail fin, and quickly disappeared under the deep water.

When it left, it glanced at Gordon and Merlin with two emotionless eyes. To Merlin's surprise, the great white shark's eyes actually had the light of wisdom.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this.

Merlin's attention was on the guy floating on the water in front of him.

As Coulson said, this guy's limbs are severely mutated, but he can barely see a human form.

He is 1.9 meters tall, but his figure is thin and looks like a green bamboo pole. There are fish-like scales all over his body. The scales on his face are finer and harder to detect, but the scales on his body are very obvious.

He still has human facial features, but there are frog-like skin membranes between his fingers, fin-like things on the top of his head, and fish skins on the back of his feet.

Just like the murlocs that are widely distributed in the oceans of the earth.

This guy was wearing a set of weird armor. After rising out of the water, a breathing mask was extended from the helmet. It seemed that he wasn't very suitable for environments other than water.

He wears two simple scimitars on his waist, and there are jagged halos on the scimitars. Obviously, these are not ordinary weapons.

"Hello, Your Excellency Tritan."

Gordon said gently:

"Is the injury still recovering? And, do you still like the sea of ​​the earth?"

"certainly."

The murloc nodded in satisfaction. Looking back at the endless sea behind him, he jokingly said:

"Entering this water is like returning to a real home. There is no such beautiful and rich sea in Attilan. There is everything that fascinates me in this sea, those deep secrets, and those enthusiastic new friends. "

He stretched his body and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I don't want to go back. Maybe I should write a letter of resignation to Black Bolt, and then live in seclusion in this sea."

Well, this guy has a sense of humor.

Merlin looked at the murloc in front of him, and he said with doubts:

"new friend?"

"Yes! New friend."

Tritan looked back at Merlin, a friendly light flashed in the murloc's blue eyes, and he said to Merlin:

"In the past few days, I was recuperating in the sea, and I accidentally met a new friend. His name is Namo. He claims to be the king of the seven seas. He is a very interesting guy. He is going on an underwater journey around the world. The beautiful great white shark just now is his pet and mount, and he calls it Gross."

"King of the Seven Seas? Namor?"

Merlin frowned. In his memory, Vico, the seaman, had never told him that there was such a number one person in Atlantis.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Tritan didn't mention any more about his new friend, he stood in the endless sea water, he said to Merlin and Gordon:

"I came to Earth under the order of Black Bolt King, and I have two tasks."

"The first task was to thwart the Kree's plot to release the Terrigen Mist on Earth. This has been accomplished with your help. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. You saved your own world. "

"But there's a second mission."

Cui Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to the two people in front of him:

"I have brought a warning from Attilan that Reign of Inhumans needs the help of our countrymen and friends from Earth."

"Especially you, the famous Merlin agent."
