"Su Rui, I don't want to drive you away."

After a while, Merlin walked into the living room with two cups of tea, put a cup of tea in front of Su Rui's eyes, and said to Her Royal Highness, the uninvited princess:

"It's just that I don't think it's right for you to live here, right?"

He said:

"Don't talk about your brother in London, he's far away, but Auroro also has a house in New York, and you might be better off living with her. I don't mean anything other than just a piece of advice. ”

"I asked Auroro."

Princess Su Rui still maintained the frank and swaggering personality of her and Merlin when they first met, and she took a sip of tea and said to Merlin:

"She said she's dealing with some mutant affairs lately, she's going to be busy, she doesn't have time to take care of me, and she lives a bit far from the university, so yours is pretty close."

"Oh, yes."

Merlin reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and he said:

"It's true that they're going to be busy lately, but I'm also going to be busy lately, and I'm also involved in things between mutants. I'll tell you the truth, Su Rui, you are a foreign princess, and living with a single man like me who is engaged in secret work may have an impact on your reputation. ”

"I'm going to have to keep a low profile to live here."

Su Rui shrugged her shoulders, and the princess explained to Merlin:

"My father had let me live in his luxury villa in New York, but it was so eye-catching, I came to study, not to show off my wealth. When my brother first arrived in Oxford, he lived in one of the most luxurious residential areas in the city, and it caused a lot of trouble, and I didn't want to repeat his mistakes. ”

She glanced at the furniture in Merlin's room, and said solemnly:

"Your house here is quite old, it's not very remarkable, and most importantly, you're a secret agent, and you're good at hiding yourself, and I live here, so I won't arouse the suspicion of others."

She stretched out her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, which was uniquely shaped like some kind of detector, and said to Merlin:

"I also consulted Auroro and she told me that if you live here, you can still protect me... After all, you know who I am, and the nature of your job means that you won't expose me to any outside harm. ”

She blew up at Merlin:

"I'm not my brother, I'm not trained in martial arts, and I can't deal with the thugs from the outside."

"It's... That's right. ”

Merlin frowned and nodded, and he said:

"Your identity is indeed sensitive, and you are not very willing to communicate with the outside world, let alone use official power to cover up your background... But I'm sure His Majesty T'Chaka won't be so relieved to let you come out alone, right? Your brother is protected by a samurai like Orkona, but you don't have one by your side? ”

"Yes."

Su Rui said calmly:

"But I let them live in the villa, they will only protect me when I go to school, I have made an agreement with them, outside of school, they will not interfere in my affairs, and I occasionally want to live an ordinary life."

"It's quite in line with the mentality of princesses."

Merlin smiled and said:

"I always want to see how ordinary people live every day, but I think you may not be able to adapt to that kind of ordinary life. After the initial curiosity is peeled off, you quickly get tired of it. In the vast majority of the time, spiritual freedom is far less important than material abundance, after all, ordinary people cannot live by ideals and dreams. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Rui:

"Well, you convinced me, you can pick a room on the first or second floor, or you can stay in Eric's previous room. I'm taking you to my sister's for a meal this weekend, and a couple of kids I've adopted will be back for the weekend. ”

"The basement is an alchemy room, where my sister Raven is using, she doesn't like people touching her things casually, she may have put some dangerous things in the alchemy room, so you'd better not go in."

Merlin thought for a moment and shouted to the second floor:

"Goo!"

"Meow"

With a meow, an orange shadow scurried down from the second floor and landed precisely beside Merlin, who had a bone toy in his mouth, which Merlin had brought back from Skull Island a long time ago.

Merlin took Gugu in his arms, and while smoothing Gugoo's hair, he said to Su Rui:

"One of the most important things about living here, don't get into trouble, it's angry, and I can't stop it."

"A cat?"

Su Rui's eyes widened, looking at the orange cat in Merlin's arms, she quickly frowned, and then took out a special pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on her eyes, she stared at Gugu, and Gugu also stared at the stranger with a kind of scrutinizing gaze.

After a moment, Su Rui leaned back a little fearfully, and she said to Merlin:

"It's certainly not a creature from Earth, and Wakanda's heterogeneous database doesn't have anything like it... It's like there's a black hole in its body, what is it? ”

"Goo comes from among the stars."

Merlin looked curiously at the sunglasses on Su Rui's face, and said:

"But Goo is harmless, it's the guardian of this house, as long as you stay in the house, even if New York is destroyed, you'll be fine, provided you have a good relationship with Googo."

"In addition, these sunglasses look quite chic, did you make them yourself?"

"yes, I did this 2 years ago, and my brother has one too."

Su Rui took off his sunglasses and handed them to Merlin as he tried to reach out and touch Coo's fur.

The orange cat lay on the couch and looked at Su Rui with a kingly gaze, it didn't care about Su Rui's touch, in its eyes, Su Rui was no more threatening to it than the disgusting stray dogs on the street.

Merlin took Su Rui's sunglasses, he put them on his eyes, and the next moment, on the lenses in front of his eyes, a cloud of information jumped into view.

He looked at Su Rui, and the information about the Wakanda princess's body quickly appeared on the lenses, about her height, weight, three-dimensional, heartbeat, and X-ray-like skeletal perspective image, as well as all the information about Su Rui, all appeared on the other lens.

What surprised Merlin the most was that there was a puzzling estimated combat effectiveness index in the corner of this lens, and I don't know what standard was used to calculate it.

In short, Su Rui's combat effectiveness... Yes 5.

He turned his head to look at Goo again, and on both lenses, a series of "??? appeared In the column of estimated combat effectiveness, a blood-red skeleton appeared that seemed to represent some kind of warning.

"This thing... Interesting. ”

Merlin took off his sunglasses and said to Su Rui:

"Is this information linked to your Wakanda database? Can it be modified by the associated object? ”

"Yes."

Su Rui hugged the lazy Coo in his arms, and while helping Gu Gu relax the hair under his neck, he said to Merlin:

"As long as you have developer permissions, you can link any database that can be cracked at will, and this pair of glasses uses Wakanda's most advanced data transmission technology, which can be used in a variety of complex environments."

"Make one for me."

Merlin returned Su Rui's sunglasses to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said to Su Rui:

"I won't charge you rent for the next 5 years."

"Wow, you're really good at business."

Her Royal Highness the Princess exaggeratedly said:

"Do you know how expensive this thing is? Judging from the current housing prices in New York, this pair of glasses can buy a villa in Manhattan, okay? ”

She said to Merlin:

"However, for Eric and Auroro's sake, I can take the time to make you a show of goodwill, after all, you're also a friend of Wakanda. But I have one condition. ”

Su Rui waved her finger at Merlin proudly, and she said:

"As for me, I've been fond of machinery since I was a child, and I'm quite talented in this area, but I've dismantled everything that can be dismantled in Wakanda, and if you can help me find something I haven't seen before, and more advanced technology than Wakanda's mechanical creations for me to study, I'll..."

"Smack"

Before Su Rui could finish his words, Merlin pressed something on the table and pushed it to Su Rui.

It was a blue, mechanical block of metal that, from its appearance, had a futuristic sci-fi feel to it.

"This thing, I call it Cybertron Weapon Module, it comes from an advanced mechanical civilization in the stars, it can freely transform up to 13 weapon modes according to the user's ideas, and it can be charged in a variety of ways, and in the most extreme case, throw it in the sun, it will also slowly recover its internal energy."

Merlin Says:

"But it's locked out of permission, and only I can use it, but unfortunately it's helping me less and less now."

"I mean, you can study it, you can even dismantle it, I only have one request, remove this permission and restore it to the state of pending use rights."

Merlin said to Su Rui, who had a light in his eyes, like an explorer who had found a treasure:

"I'm going to give it to a friend for self-defense."

"Wait."

Su Rui took out some rather complicated instruments from her bag and put them on her hand, she used some transmission cables to connect them to the strange watch on her wrist, and then, like a mechanic, began to carefully touch the Cybertron weapon module in front of her.

With the small blue arcs of light jumping, Su Rui's expression became more and more exaggerated.

It's like discovering a new continent.

"9 miniature advanced silicon-based chips, 12 universal deformation axes that I can't understand the principle, a miniature motion capture database, 17 completely different circuit combinations, and a completely different energy transmission and data encryption mode from our cognition, and finally a set of complex deformation system frameworks with a high degree of synthesis and obvious laws... If I could make something like this, I would definitely get 5 PhDs! Least! ”

Su Rui evaluated the weapon module in front of him in a voice mixed with surprise and exclamation, and Merlin listened to the things he didn't understand at all, and he asked with a frown:

"You mean, you can't handle this thing either?"

"Not for now."

Su Rui replied calmly:

"It's the most complex piece of machinery I've ever seen since I was a kid, and I need a little time to learn this new knowledge... Well, give me half a month, that should be enough. ”

"Half a month?"

Merlin stared at Su Rui, and he said:

"Are you sure?"

"12X15, 180 hours..."

Su Rui turned his head to look at Merlin:

"It's completely sufficient, it's advanced enough, but it's not beyond my comprehension, it's nothing more than some more complex engineering knowledge, but as long as it conforms to the basic logic of mechanical operation, then it's only a matter of time before you master them."

The princess spoke of her field of expertise, with a high sense of self-confidence, and said to Merlin:

"After half a month, I'll give you back an intact, unlocked weapon module, as well as your sunglasses... What style do you want, and in addition, how many databases do you need? I'm good to reserve the data interface in advance. ”

"This style."

Merlin pointed to the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he took them off, revealing his eyes that were burning more and more like burning magma, and said to Su Rui:

"It also comes with a camouflage function, you should be able to understand that these eyes will frighten ordinary people."

"Wow!"

Su Rui looked into Merlin's eyes, and she let out a sigh:

"Your eyes, they're so cool..."

“......”

Merlin looked at Su Rui with a frown, and he said:

"It seems that your aesthetic is really different from ordinary people. Is this a common problem of geniuses? ”

"I'm not a genius."

Su Rui said very modestly:

"I'm a long way from Dr. Reid and that playboy Stark."

"Tony, I know."

Merlin Says:

"He's inherited his father's terrible talent for mechanical science, and it's a shame that he's using that talent to develop some advanced weapons of murder... But Dr. Reed, I don't know much about it. Who is he? ’

"You don't even know Dr. Reed?"

Su Rui looked at Merlin with a primitive gaze, and she said in an exaggerated tone:

"Reed. Richards, the smartest man in the world, is Nathaniel. Mr. Richards' son, who has been a world-renowned prodigy since he was a child, got his first doctorate at the age of 14, and has 8 doctorates at the age of 20. ”

"I don't know."

Merlin said calmly:

"I don't care much about the scientific community, but I've heard of Mr. Nathaniel, who is Howard. Stark's close friend, who also worked for a time in the Strategic Science Corps... It's a pity that such a genius disappeared in the last century ... Speaking of which, there are some oddities in this matter. ”

Merlin rubbed his forehead, and he whispered:

"Howard and Nathaniel... No matter how you look at it, it's not that simple to die. ”

"What did you say?"

Su Rui looked at Merlin, and she said curiously:

"You mean, they're still alive?"

"No, I mean..."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and he said to Su Rui:

"It's time for me to go to work, Your Highness Princess, the long journey must have made you very tired, take a good rest, let's go out for a meal tonight, and I'll introduce some friends to you."

"Remember, don't mess with Goo!"
