Chapter 141: "Borrowing Strength" Conjecture
"Is the boss really gone?"
Schmidt's face was gloomy, he had always oppressed others, but he didn't expect him to have such a day.
He had never been so aggrieved, and the feeling of being unable to resist in the face of supernatural abilities was simply disgusting to him.
Even if he is a first-generation super soldier, he can't resist the power of this mysterious man at all.
"It should be gone, Schmidt do a good job, I think this new boss is very good, at least better than the Führer."
Zola shrugged and prepared to go out to arrange a new job for the Hydra scientist, so he did as his boss asked.
"Dr. Zola, don't think that if he says we're on the same level, you really believe it, I'm the real boss at the base."
Schmidt's face was bruised, as if he wanted to reveal his true colors, and said in a gloomy tone.
Dr. Zola was too frightened to say anything, and hurriedly opened the door and walked out.
"Hmph, wait, I won't give in to you, let me walk and see!"
Schmidt smashed the handle of the chair and looked fiercely at the cosmic cube on the machine.
……
New York.
"I hope we haven't started the super soldier experiment yet, or we can only hope that Dr. Erskine will have good luck."
Merlin vaguely remembers that when Steve was selected by Dr. Erskine for the Super Soldier program, it would take some time to train.
So logically speaking, it won't be so fast, it should take a while, and Merlin still has a chance to save him.
Soon, Merlin was a little confused, because he couldn't find the secret base hidden in the antique shop.
And Steve wasn't here for training and selection, so he was a wasted trip.
"Well, it's too much of a hassle to find someone remotely."
Merlin remembered that Mr. Rhine's mirror of the real spirit magic weapon could find people across the road, and the effect of video calls, and he was very envious.
Thinking of this, it was time for him to arrange a wave to insert the Storm King's men into the Hydra.
Merlin appeared in a library in New York the next moment.
A few minutes later, Merlin returned to Norland with a pile of books on language and the history of the earth.
And give these arrangements to Horris, let him pick some of the smarter ones from his subordinates to learn these knowledge, and then wait for Merlin's follow-up arrangements.
In the future, this group of people will be the managers arranged by Merlin in Hydra, and through this group of people, Hydra will slowly develop into what he is satisfied with.
……
"Ancient One Mage, is there any trick to mirror space, I haven't been able to master the essence of this spell."
After Merlin returned from the world of Norland, he went straight to Kama Taj to study magic.
The Ancient One Mage was also very interesting, and directly let him flip through the magic books in the library.
Because the spells in the Marvel world are too strange, the mage pays attention to the word "borrow" when casting spells.
Any kind of spell is "borrowed" from an unknown dimensional demon god to achieve the magic effect.
If you borrow, you naturally have to pay it back, maybe after the mage dies, or you have to pay it back when you borrow too much magic.
At the same time, this also has the advantage that as long as you get started casting spells, it is extremely simple, and you can learn to open portals in just a few days.
Merlin had tried a few times, trying his own magic to power the spells, but it wasn't that simple.
For example, a basic spell "Ring of Raggador", which is the starting spell of the Ancient One and other mages in the movie.
This spell is like a fan-shaped aperture and has a powerful cutting ability, which is generally used as a melee spell weapon.
Merlin was barely able to use his magic to drive it, but he didn't show the same effect as a basic mage.
It's like the energy delivery pipeline is blocked, intermittent and very unstable, not to mention wanting to have attack power.
The same goes for other spells, if Merlin borrows power from the Dimensional Demon God and then casts these spells, it will be extremely smooth.
It's a different story than casting it with his own magic, but Merlin has studied the spells of these spells and found that the principles of these spells are mostly the same.
In this way, he was puzzled, the principles of the spells were the same, but the effect of casting magic was so different.
But he couldn't find a solution for a while, so he had to pick some spells he liked so much and study them to see if he could turn them into Merlin's own spells.
For example, the spell of mirror space, he likes it very much.
Once you've learned it, you'll be able to create a mirror space around you that is the opposite of the world and doesn't interfere with each other, and you can do whatever you want.
There are forced qualifications, can fight, can defend, can peep, it is simply a necessary spell to rob a house and kill people and set fire.
But he only barely succeeded in using his strength, not to mention that it was even more difficult to use his own strength.
Also, he finally understands why the mages of the Marvel world are borrowed powers.
Because, through the spell books they left behind, the dimensional demon gods formed a series of secret magic channels.
Whenever someone uses their spells, their power needs to be borrowed, and at the same time, this power will be ingrained in the mage's body.
The more you use it, the more it will be eroded by this magic, and eventually your whole body will change into its shape.
Then, when the mage dies, the soul will be returned to the world of the dimensional demon gods and serve them, which is also known as loan repayment.
Fortunately, Merlin is not a local, but has his own mage heritage and his own magic.
After he borrowed the power a few times, he sensed that this magic from other worlds had taken root in his body.
It took him a lot of effort to clean up the traces of the magic of those dimensional demon gods, which made him a little annoyed and uncomfortable.
I am even more determined to think that I can't borrow power from Marvel's dimensional demon gods, and I still feel more at ease by relying on my own magic.
"Our paths are not the same, I can't give you any guidance, it's up to you, Gen Merlin.
However, I think it should be a little easier to try to start with the basics, then try to deduce the principles of the spell and incorporate it into the spell you practice. ”
The Ancient One mage looked at Merlin silently and smiled slightly, and then added some hot water to the teapot that was already a little cold.
"It's a great way to start with the basics, but it takes a lot of time."
Merlin looked at the ancient mage a little helplessly, and skimmed the bookshelf behind him, there were two or three floors, and it would take a year or two just to read it carefully, let alone finish learning.
And he not only has to learn magic, Hydra is his future team, and it is not easy to fall behind.
"Master Merlin, for you, you don't lack time, of course, you may not have time now, but sooner or later you will be free, right?" Ancient One Master said with a smile.
"Ha, Ancient One, I feel like you want me to stay here and study magic."
Merlin was a little confused about the thoughts of the ancient one, and responded with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Ha, Mage Merlin laughed, I think you should leave, or you'll miss your goal."
Gu Yi suddenly thought of something, and got up directly to see off the guests.
“…… Okay"
Merlin was a little speechless by the sudden change of attitude, but he was down to business, and hurried towards the door.
Captain America is about to be born.
……
