7. Merlin's Guest(1/2)
This secret teaches Matt's old man to be very strong.
At least in terms of fighting, he is not weaker than Merlin, and his pure swordsmanship may have surpassed Merlin.
He was able to block the sword dance completely, which also proved that his reaction speed and physical strength were far beyond ordinary people. Unfortunately, facing Mei Lin, who did not play according to the routine and helped by black fog, the old man was still defeated.
"Don't hurt him, Merlin."
Matt completely "heard" the battle. After the old man was bound by black fog, Matt begged:
"He has been helping me."
"Help you?"
Merlin put away his sword and said to Matt:
"If you want to learn these fighting skills, you can come to me, and you should know that I am very good at fighting too. In my heart, you have always been a very wise child, but why is it so reckless this time?"
"Do you know who he is? Do you know his name? Most importantly, do you know what he is close to your purpose?"
Matt was speechless when Merlin asked a series of questions. He reached out and rubbed the child's head, and he said:
"Look, you actually don't know anything, Matt."
Merlin said:
"You are doing something very dangerous, playing with a dangerous beast. Its kindness does not mean that it will not poke its claws and tear you apart."
He looked back at the old man who was bound by the black fog and could not move, and he said:
"A weapon master is so rare. I'll ask you again, what are you doing in New York? What's the purpose of getting close to Matt?"
"I just don't want to see this kid's talent be wasted."
The old man trapped in the air finally spoke, and he said in that hoarse and low voice:
"He was guarding a treasure but couldn't open it. He lost his light, but was given a more precious gift. I was just helping him open it."
"That's Matt's business!"
Merlin said:
"Whether to fight, learn to fight, or open up potential are all things that should be decided by this child. When will you stubborn bastards understand that there are many ways to spend your life in a person's life. Don't use your distorted outlook on life to influence my child!"
"He agreed himself."
The old man said:
"I asked him, and he confirmed."
"He's just a child!"
Merlin said:
"What does he know? Are you a child too? Don't you know how dangerous the superhuman world is? You bastard, you are trying to pull this child into that world"
Merlin stretched out his hand, and a cloud of mist jumped into a sharp flying knife in his hand. He said in a sinister way:
"Maybe, I should kill you here."
"don't want!"
Matt opened his arms and blocked the old man, he said:
"Merlin, don't he save me. You told me that people should learn to repay kindness."
"How did he save you?"
Merlin said:
"Tell me everything."
"A few months ago, on my way to church, I encountered a gunfight between Russian gangs and Irish gangs. When the police arrived, I was held hostage by those bastards. It was the stick man who jumped in through the window and knocked out the gunmen, and then rescued me."
Matt said:
"He is like me, both blind people with super listening. I was curious about how he used this kind of hearing, so I asked him for advice. He didn't want to teach me, and later I found him several times before he agreed."
"Is this how?"
Merlin looked at Matt, then looked at the old man who didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to eliminate the Shadow Flying Knife, and he said to the old man in front of him:
"Then maybe I should thank you for saving my child."
"Swish"
The entangled black mist dissipated at this moment, and the mysterious old man rolled in the air and landed steadily on the ground.
He picked up his broken knife and "looked" at Meilin, and said:
"I will leave with swordsmen like you by his side. If he wants to learn, he can follow you."
"You'd better leave."
Merlin said with a hint of warning:
"I don't want to see you appear next to Matt again. You are a troubled person. I can tell at a glance that I don't want you to get Matt into your troubles. This child's life is already miserable enough."
The old man nodded, he "looked" at Matt, then quietly retreated into the darkness, and soon disappeared into the warehouse.
After confirming that the Sticker had left, Merlin looked back at Matt. He sighed, crouched down and said to Matt:
"Why do you want to learn this? Don't you want to be a lawyer? A lawyer cannot use a knife. The mouth of a lawyer is the sharpest knife in the world."
“I want to find the people who killed my father.”
Matt said to Merlin calmly:
"I want to find them"
"Then what?"
Merlin asked:
"And what are you going to do? Are you going to kill them with your stick? Just like they killed your father, and you kill them with your own hands? No, that's not right, Matt."
"It's easy to get your hands covered with blood, but it's hard to wash off the blood. Revenge will attract new revenge, and it will take you to get everyone around you into it."
He said earnestly to the child in front of him:
"Listen to me, you have to believe that there are rules and orders in this world. You can become a lawyer, become a part of this rule, and use the power of the rules to send bad people to prison, so that they can get the punishment they deserve. I believe you can do it, and you can find ways to avenge your revenge without making your hands dirty."
“But what if it can’t be done?”
Matt whispered:
"In the past few months, I have heard a lot of things about Merlin. Next to the boarding school is the court. I have heard a lot of darkness hidden under the laws. There are always some people who cannot be punished by the law. They can always find loopholes in the law. They are powerful and they will not be punished."
"Then tell me."
Merlin patted Matt on the shoulder and said:
"Bad people are bad people, and the wrong things are wrong things. They may be able to find loopholes in the rules, but as long as they have evil secrets, they should be punished."
"I can punish them, I can send them to prison so that they will never think of it for the rest of their lives. This is the game of hunters and prey. If you become a powerful enough lawyer in the future, I believe that you can eventually send all those criminals to where they should go, I never doubt that."
Meilin stood up, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and he said:
"I hope you can also believe in your own future and ability, and don't rely on violence to solve problems. That's the lowest way."
"Okay, go home, otherwise Elsa will be worried. Also, it's not a good thing to not get along with people like the Stick Sou from now on."
"Um"
Ma Te nodded, he did not refute anymore, but followed Merlin and left the warehouse.
After they returned home, Merlin did not tell others about these things. He kept Matt's secrets. Everyone has their own secrets, and the secrets should be well protected.
The next day, Eric, wearing a denim suit and sunglasses, was waiting for his girlfriend in his waiting room at the airport. He soon saw a beautiful image in the crowd.
Compared with the awkward posture a few years ago, Charlie, a girl who is about to graduate, has become a real big girl.
She was wearing a very fashionable light blue dress, sunglasses, and a clutch while walking, like a model with a full aura.
"Eric, you're not going"
Charlie walked to Eric. She wanted to ask Eric about her coming home, but before she could finish her words, Eric hugged her head in front of her.
He hugged him very tightly, and Charlie also felt the change in Eric's temperament. She did not ask anything else, but patted Eric's back, she said:
"What's wrong? Just like a child."
"nothing."
Eric buried his head on Charlie's shoulder and he whispered:
"I just miss you very much and suddenly miss you very much. Charlie, let's get married after you graduate. I want to have my own family, my own children, and my own life."
"OK."
Charlie brushed her curly hair and said:
"As long as Merlin agrees with him in theory, we are the two of our common guardians."
"He will agree."
