41. The Mutant Disappearance(1/2)

Chass is worthy of being Dupend's good friend.

The fat driver was as skilled as Du Pengde. He walked through the streets and walked through the alleys, chatting with Merlin, and soon took Merlin to Xavier Talented Youth Academy on the edge of Queens.

"Bang"

Merlin closed the car door and reached out to hand Chas a few bills, saying:

"Thank you, Chas."

"Mr. Merlin, do you need me to wait for you here? It's hard to get a taxi nearby."

Chas poked his head out of the window and said to Merlin:

"I can give you a 20% discount."

"No need, Chas, go and do it, I won't delay your business."

Merlin shook his hand without looking back:

"Be careful when you go to work at night. If you encounter trouble, call me."

Behind him, Chas shrugged, quickly turned the steering wheel, and drove the car away from this slightly remote place.

Merlin has seen information about Xavier Talented Youth Academy more than once in SHIELD's information. He knows that this academy, which looks normal on the surface, actually recruits mutant students who are abandoned or hostile to society.

This academy was established in the 1980s, but the prototype of the Mutant Academy was already in existence as early as the end of World War II.

It is said that when Professor Charles, who was born in the Rich House, ventured for a while with another leader of the mutant, the radical Magneto Eric Lancheer.

They did a lot of big things and were real good friends and brothers, but the two of them had ideological frictions and eventually parted ways after the Cuban missile crisis.

To be honest, there is almost no truth about that history.

Even in the information left by Ms. Carter, the description of the most deadly incident of the Cold War was vague. According to Ms. Carter, many people suspected that Professor Charles used his ability to forcibly cover up the truth of the Cuban missile crisis, but the problem is that no one can provide evidence to prove this.

Even Ms. Carter herself was not sure whether her memory of that matter was true or had been modified by the powerful mutant who was good at spiritual power.

This sounds a bit fantastic, but the problem is that Professor Charles does have such ability.

Because of this, in the archives inside S.H.I.E.D., Professor Charles' ability threat assessment has always been the highest level.

He may not be the most powerful mutant in the world, but for the government, he is definitely the most threatening. From the perspective of maintaining public safety and social order, even Magneto, which has a strong destructive power, is not as threatening as him.

"It is said that in Professor Charles' eyes, there is no secret in the world. For the agent, he is really a dangerous person."

Merlin stood in front of the black fence gate of Xavier Talented Youth Academy, looking at the academy in front of him.

This place, just from the appearance, is a bit too luxurious.

It is as big as four golf courses, like an independent little kingdom. In the middle of the green grassy land, there is a huge red castle-like building.

This building is very similar to the castle of Wayne Manor in Gotham City, both of which were built in the same era.

In front of the castle, there is an elegant fountain. Under the sunshine, some children are playing on the grass, and a few young people gather together to catch fish in the pond beside the grass.

At the end of Merlin's sight, there is even a small wood, which seems to be an embellishment of this family manor.

It is said that this area is full of Professor Charles' family industries, and the professor almost supported the development of this college with his own strength.

This is enough to prove that Professor Charles' family was once very wealthy, perhaps not as prominent as the Wayne family, but it is definitely beyond the scope of ordinary people.

"bite"

Meilin reached out and pressed the doorbell. After a moment, a low inquiry came from the telephone at the door:

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'll look for Professor Charles."

Merlin said in a gentle tone:

"My name is Merlin, Merlin Riley."

"Did you make an appointment? Mr. Merlin."

The voice in the phone asked:

"You should know that Professor Charles would not see you without an appointment."

"Uh, I didn't make an appointment."

Merlin said:

"But I think the professor wouldn't turn me out. You can ask the professor himself. Just say, I made a special trip to thank him for coming."

""

The communicator was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Please wait, Mr. Merlin."

The voice responded politely. A few minutes later, the closed black fence door in front of Merlin slowly opened, and a red golf cart also leisurely followed the road between the lawns and stopped in front of Merlin.

"Mr. Merlin?"

The driver was a big young man with short hair, not as handsome as the rocks cut by a knife and axe, and looked very intimidating. But he was very gentle when he smiled. This big guy had a special, quiet temperament, just like an artist, well, a philosopher.

"Get in the car, the professor is waiting for you."

Merlin got on the golf cart, and he looked at the beautiful scenery in the academy and asked:

"Are you a mutant too?"

"right."

The young man who drove meticulously replied:

"My name is Piot Nikolaevich Rasputin, uh, the name is a bit long, don't mind, you can call me Piot, or just call me 'Trents'."

"Hmm? Steelers?"

Merlin laughed:

"This name is really domineering. Generally speaking, the nickname of mutants represents your abilities, so, are you actually a very powerful warrior?"

"That's right."

Piot smiled implicitly, and he said to Merlin:

"Are you a professor's friend? Mr. Merlin."

"That's right."

Merlin responded to the young people around him with the same sentence.

He didn't really want to talk about the matter between himself and the professor, because although Professor Charles saved him twice, Merlin had never seen him. This was the first time Merlin had officially met with the professor. The story between them could not be explained clearly in just a few words.

Seeing that Merlin was unwilling to say, Steels did not continue to ask questions. This young man with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder drove the car and walked around the road between the lawns for a long time before he sent Merlin to the entrance of the small castle of the college, where a lady in a suit was already waiting for him.

It was a slender black lady with a beautiful face and silver-white short hair that was impressive. According to Merlin's experience, the hair did not seem to have been dyed, it should be her true hair color.

"This is Ms. Ororo."

Steelers parked the car in a straightforward manner, and then introduced to Merlin:

"She is one of the professor's disciples and the vice president of the college. Next, she will lead you to meet the professor."

"If I hadn't known that you were a college, maybe I would have thought I had joined some secret organization."

Merlin jumped out of the car and joked with Ms Ororo with the silver hair:

"After just one short distance, you can change two guides. Your confidentiality work is really good."

Faced with this joke, Steelers shrugged without saying anything, while Ororo said:

"Mr. Merlin, after meeting the professor, you will understand the current situation, please come with me."

Ororo's work and the slow Steeler are two extremes. She has strong execution ability and exudes a strong woman's aura throughout her body. Merlin tidied up her clothes, waved to the Steelerer whom she just met, and then followed Ororo into the castle.

The two walked side by side in the historical atmosphere, but were cleanly maintained in the corridor. A few seconds later, Merlin suddenly asked:

"Are you a wizard too?"

"Um."

Ororo nodded, she did not hide her identity, she said:

"My family is a famous wizard family in a country in East Africa, and also a family of mutant blood. We have mastered the power to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning for thousands of years. I came to North America for some special reasons and said that you are also a wizard, right? Mr. Merlin, when I went to Magic France to buy materials before, I saw you several times. You had a great chat with the great wizard Samuel. It seems that you are their guest of honor."

"Even a mutant, a wizard, Ms. Ororo, your dual identity is really amazing."

Meilin praised him a little, and he looked at the paintings he visited on both sides of the corridor and said:

"Maybe, we can find some time to talk about magic, about spells."

"sure."

Ororo did not refuse. Perhaps because of his identity as a wizard, the relationship between the two people was brought closer together. The silver-haired lady said to Merlin:

"After the students have a holiday, I will be idle, and then we can go out for a meal together. I heard that Mr. Raven, who is famous in the alien world in New York, is a powerful wizard who has many advanced spells."

"Haha, that's just a false praise and misinformation."

Merlin waved his hand and said with a look of honor and disgrace:
