Chapter 277: This chapter has no title. (Two chapters in one)
"How could it be...... How so! ”
Yongdu's soul is trapped in the mirror, as if in a real dream, and the experience is captured and transported to the planet Igo, and finally drained of power and buried under the dust as a corpse.
And it's not an isolated case, Merlin specifically asked him to try countless times, some of which are remembered as Igo's powerful children.
First, it is like going home to inherit the family property, and finally it is turned into Igo's energy battery.
What's more, he inherited a relatively small bloodline, and he was completely an ordinary alien, and in Yongdu's eyes, as soon as the spaceship that transported him over left, Igo killed him.
After experiencing this scene countless times, Yongdu's heart was gradually filled with self-blame and despair, and as soon as his mind turned, he thought of the dry bones of thousands of children he had sent over.
"I promise you...... Igo was given an item that would guide him to the coordinates of his planet, right outside Earth on a Marauder ship. ”
Two lines of tears flowed from Yongdu's dark blue eyes, and he silently closed his eyes and sat down on the ground.
But what he said has already shown that he chose to cooperate with Merlin, and decided to follow his heart's will and rebel against the gold lord Igo.
"Very well, then sign this contract, and don't forget that you, including the ship, are my property."
Merlin snapped his fingers, and the magic in the air automatically condensed into a contract and flew in front of Yongdu.
"Your Excellency, if I sign this contract, will I have a chance to regain my freedom?"
As a mature predator, Yongdu's remorse and self-blame came quickly, disappeared quickly, picked up the contract and looked at it twice.
"Don't worry, you'll be free again soon, I have a task for you to complete.
Of course, now I still need some star maps and scientific and technological information on your spaceship, and I also need you to stay on Earth for a while. ”
The task that Merlin wanted to give Yongdu to complete was naturally to let him find the coordinates of the cosmic spirit ball, that is, the power gem.
When it comes to finding things in the universe, there's nothing better than being a cosmic pirate, bounty hunter, and marauder.
"Okay...... Then he, this Igo bloodline, am I going to send him back? ”
Yongdu didn't know what the mysterious man in front of him wanted him to help find, but it didn't matter, as long as he could regain his freedom.
At this time, he saw little Quill, who was sleeping on the table next to him, and he was also the target of their coming to Earth.
Now that he knew the true face of Igo, the owner of the Celestial God Clan, he didn't plan to continue to work for him.
In addition, he didn't know why, he felt that this child named Peterquall was very pleasing to the eye, how comfortable to look at.
There is even an impulse to turn him over as a predator and inherit his mantle.
But alas, this mysterious man seems to be the guardian of the earth, and I'm afraid he won't let him take this child.
"No, his biological father is Igo, and he has his blood in his veins, and if he stays on Earth, he will easily come to him.
As for his family members who stay on Earth, I will arrange them properly, and he will be handed over to you to cultivate in the future. ”
Merlin looked at little Quill and remembered the fool Star-Lord in the future, who was simply a funny role in Marvel.
What is afraid that Igo will come to the door and endanger the safety of the earth, this is all fake, Merlin wished that he would take the initiative to come to the door, saving the effort of finding him.
As for the idea of leaving little Quill on Earth, it would be a bit of a pity, and it would be him who would discover the location of the power gem's coordinates in the future.
Let him follow the original trajectory and follow the real father Yongdu, maybe he can help Merlin find the power gem as soon as possible.
And his mother's family members, who are in the same vein, turned around and asked Pierce to find some reason casually, let his family win the lottery a few times, promote a few positions, and ensure that food and clothing are done without worry.
"Let me cultivate?"
Yongdu was obviously stunned for a moment, he thought he was going to send him back quietly, but he didn't expect it to be an unexpected answer.
"That's right, but give him to me for a while, you are ready now, I need to send someone to receive the ship."
Merlin said a few words, then raised his hand to gather magic to freeze the little Star-Lord and receive it in the small world.
"Ready? How do I prepare? ”
Yongdu was puzzled, what this person said and showed was too strange, and he didn't understand much.
He said that he was ready, whether he was waiting here, waiting for someone to receive the spaceship, or taking the initiative to fly to the place he wanted.
"Ready means you just hold on to it."
Merlin glanced at him, stepped out of the spaceship, his eyes emitting blue light, and layers of mirror space extended out of him.
"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! ”
In the next moment, Merlin's figure in Yongdu's eyes became larger and larger, while the spaceship became smaller and smaller, wrapped in a glass sphere-like thing, and then held in the palm of his hand.
This scene directly shocked Yongdu and followed him for a whole year.
In fact, the opposite is true, it is not Merlin getting bigger and bigger, but the Marauder ships, including Yongdu, are getting smaller and smaller.
This is exactly the special spell of the Ancient One Mage, taking advantage of the particularity that the mirror space will not come into contact with reality, and pinching it into a cage.
Whether it's defense, or trapping people, it's a very good spell, and even Merlin has suffered in this spell.
Once a mirror crystal ball is formed, there will be no escape, as the person who casts this spell can infinitely nest dolls.
Break a layer of mirror crystal defense, the caster can also put a few more layers from the outside, if the mana supply continues, the besieged people will not be able to get out of exhaustion.
And once broken, it will also trigger a magical riot, which in turn will attack the items trapped inside, and Merlin will suffer greatly from it.
He had a deep understanding during the hundred years of Kama Taj's penance, and the ancient mage's spells were more defensive and low-to-damage, which could not move him.
But every time she faced off against the Ancient One Mage and was about to win, she would always play tricks.
In the face of this situation, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
However, this situation has changed after more than sixty years of penance in the space of the Time Gem.
Because Merlin also found the principle of unleashing this magic and learned this spell.
The principle is very simple, it is nothing more than a mirror space that is compressed to the extreme.
Not only should it be compressed to the extreme, but it should also be used to reduce the space in the mirror space as much as possible.
This allows the mage who casts the spell to use his hands or other items to take away the shrunken mirror space.
Merlin glanced at the state of the mirror space crystal ball in his hand, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he lifted the mirror space that had been shrouded outside and disappeared into this area.
Outside, the people of this town were heard by the roar of the spaceship, and they came out to check, only to find that there was nothing.
It seems to have returned to its former peace, except for the heartbroken Peter family in the hospital who feel sorry for the missing little Quill.
……
Inside the laboratory of the Tianma base.
"Dr. Lawson, how is the development of the Lightspeed Engine?"
Merlin's voice suddenly appeared, startling both Dr. Lawson and Howard.
"Boss Merlin, you really deserve to be the boss, you gave us a task and disappeared, and you didn't care if we were lazy or not.
But fortunately, the light-speed engine you want has now been developed to the experimental stage, and you can already start selecting pilots. ”
Dr. Lawson couldn't help but let down the gun in his hand with a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still so young after ten years of vanishing, and couldn't help but quip.
Now that the Lightspeed Engine has been experimented, she can't let her guard down and can't be ruined.
"Hmm, has anyone chosen, if not, I can help you find one."
Merlin naturally didn't care too much about Dr. Lawson's jokes, he was a time-traveler, and he just needed to understand the direction of things and follow his own thoughts.
If you meddle too much, it may ruin the plot and create unnecessary possibilities.
As for the selected pilot, if nothing else, it is Carol Danvers, that very sassy girl, the future Captain Marvel.
If she hadn't started the election yet, Merlin wouldn't mind using S.H.I.E.L.D. to help her and directly order her in.
"No, I've already had a choice, and I have to say it's a wonderful coincidence.
Merlin remembers when I first joined you and wanted to pick up a souvenir of Stark's model spaceship?
It was actually for a friend of mine, and his child, who is now my test pilot, is named Carol Danvers. ”
Dr. Lawson talked about her test pilot with a smile on his face, clearly pleased with Carol Danvers.
"Boss Merlin, I think you should be more worried about how to preserve the research results, the US military has noticed our research.
If it weren't for Congressman Pierce's constant claim that we were normal research spacecraft, the military would have sent someone to take over here.
But he probably won't be able to hide it for long, Dr. Lawson has already discovered that someone from the U.S. military has been inserted, and it is expected that the truth of the experiment here will be discovered in a few years.
Moreover, the concealment of the Pegasus plan has affected the construction of his S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and it is a good thing that he has not stepped down. ”
Howard said to Merlin without any concern as he hammered at a scaled-down version of the Ark reactor.
He knew that this boss had great powers and would not feel any trouble with the US military.
But he still dutifully told Merlin, and by the way, he sarcastically mocked Councilor Pierce, who became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.
He didn't have a good impression of this councilor, because Pierce was always interested in his scientific and technological achievements, and even wanted to take the Cosmic Rubik's Cube privately.
Some time ago, I talked to him about Dr. Pym's Ant-Man armor and the quantum realm, and he seemed to be very interested in that kind of technology.
Howard didn't know what he was going to do, although he was also interested in Pym particles.
But Dr. Pym is also Boss Merlin's man, and he really needs to talk to Pym directly, there is no need to go around the bush.
"And this? But it's okay, we'll change places in a few years, and the earth is still too small to stay for long. ”
Merlin couldn't help but touch his chin, now that the lightspeed engine has been almost developed, it's time to prepare for the development of alien planets.
Whether it's the technology of the Kree, or the Infinity Stones scattered in outer space, or the artifacts of Thor's family.
All of these are Merlin's goals, and none of them can be let go.
Speaking of Thor, Merlin remembered the dwarves sheltered by the Asgardian kingdom.
Although they are called dwarves, they are actually like giants, and they can use the energy of neutron stars to forge weapons.
Father Odin's scepter, Thor's Meowth Hammer, the Storm Battle Axe that can suppress the Infinity Stones, and Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet are all made by the Dwarves.
Tsk, they're all artifacts, and Merlin plans to hire them to forge weapons, no, they should be recruited to join the Storm King.
There is no future for staying under Asgard, and sooner or later Thanos will kill most of the clansmen, so it is better to join Merlin's men.
Safe enough, stable job, good pay, no life in danger.
Merlin decided that when the time came, he would go to Asgard to ask Old Odin for coordinates and recruit his dwarves.
As for Odin's disagreement? It wasn't a problem at all, if he had been a little scared when he was younger.
The current priest Odin has not lived for decades, plus he doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the ancient mage.
Dare to fight Merlin, I don't know who is being abused.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about business, I just captured two more alien spaceships, you guys study it, and by the way, make a few copies of the star map or something."
Merlin backhanded out a mirrored crystal ball that shimmered with nine-colored light, and inside a spaceship was very detailed, and an ugly man was hanging outside, with his hair flying.
"This, Boss Merlin, your strength will always be beyond my imagination, I can't imagine how a Marauder's ship could be loaded into a crystal ball."
Dr. Lawson walked over and took the crystal ball when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh after a few glances.
She recognized the ship's appearance as a Marauder's ship, locked in a crystal ball like a toy.
"That's the power of magic...... If I weren't a scientist, I'd have wanted to change careers to study magic. ”
Howard also walked over, took the crystal ball and studied it carefully, and sighed.
"Find a place to get this ship out, I need a big place.
Because this is only a probe ship, there is a main ship in space outside the earth. ”
Yongdu's ship is naturally not the only one so small, although it does not look small, but it is still too small compared to the main ship of the Marauder.
"Then let's put the spaceship research and development area of the base first, and as for the Marauder main ship outside the earth, send it to the vicinity of my laboratory."
Dr. Lawson thought for a moment, then turned to Merlin.
As a Kree, she naturally knew how big the Marauder ship was.
Even her laboratory felt that it was too big to hide on Earth, so she stayed outside and didn't land on Earth.
Now that the Tianma base is developing a light-speed engine, the US military knows about it, and if a large spacecraft is sent in.
It will definitely not be hidden, causing unnecessary trouble, and adding a few more twists to the experiment of the lightspeed engine.
"Okay, no problem."
Merlin has no objection, he is only responsible for arranging the task, and completing the task is his business, he doesn't need to care, he only needs the result.
Soon, the Marauder ship was released, and Yudu disembarked from the ship with a complicated face.
At this time, he looked at Dr. Lawson and suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but shout:
"You're a Cree!!"
