15. Mjournir - Kill the King Rumi Brothers for a Thousand People [7/8]
"Wait, you say it again."
Standing outside the door of Mick's Tavern in the twilight of New York, Merlin smoked a cigarette and asked the Asgardians on the other side of the communication through Icarus:
"What does it mean that he is exiled? Thor was exiled? By whom? And why? â
"We don't know the specifics."
Sif 's voice sounded in Merlin's ears, a slight murmur, and a little erratic, which was normal, after all, this call was several worlds away.
According to what Merlin learned, regarding the extent of the World Tree, Asgard's Domain is located in the upper branch of the World Tree, while Midgard, or Earth, is located in the middle of the World Tree.
This is a distance spanning dozens of galaxies, which is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
Sif said to Merlin:
"We just know that Thor is missing, his brother Loki is grounded, and it seems that the situation is serious, but the fact that the queen has not announced this yet, so we are just guessing."
"We suspect that Thor has done something wrong, angering his father, King Odin, and the energy reaction of his warhammer Mjournir has also disappeared."
"What we can be sure of now is that Thor should have been exiled to Earth, somewhere on the North American continent of your world, not far from you, so we hope that before the official state of affairs is declared, you will find Thor to check on his condition for us, and if his condition is bad, to protect him for us."
"Sounds incredible."
Merlin pushed his glasses, and he looked at the image of Sif on the screen, the heroic female general was no different from a few years ago, but the palace scene behind her was very much in the style of the Asgardians.
It is resplendent and full of mythical tales.
He pressed the cigarette in his hand on the dustbin and said:
"But since it's a friend's request, then I'll help. But the thing is, I haven't met Thor at all..."
"Loki modified this communicator so that it can transmit images, and we'll send you a portrait of Thor in a moment, he's easy to find, he likes to be boisterous, he likes to drink, and he has blonde hair..."
Sif Says:
"I know it's rude to ask, but we don't have many trustworthy people on Earth either."
"In addition, Thor's most loyal squire, Skolci, has set off, he will join you on Earth, and after finding Thor, he will be responsible for the rest of the protection work."
"Oh, Randolph's son."
Merlin nodded, and he said:
"Okay, you send me the image, I'll help, if there's any news, I'll contact you through this number, well, cell phone and Asgardians, it's a pretty good combination."
"Then I'll trouble you, Merlin, we won't let you do it for nothing."
Sif said seriously:
"Whether it's gold, precious stones, or other rewards, as long as you need it, we'll make it up for you afterwards."
"No, no, no, don't be so polite."
Merlin smiled and said:
"Thor's status is honorable, and an alien prince has landed on Earth, finding him and protecting him, which is what we officials should do. Besides, we are all friends, and there is no need to be so polite between friends. â
"I'll wait for Skolch to arrive, and I'll let you know when there's news."
"Okay, then we'll wait for your news."
Sif hung up the communication, and a moment later, a picture that resembled an oil painting was sent to Merlin, who stared at Icarus's lenses and looked at the vivid portrait of Thor, and said:
"Another beautiful man, a stylish man, just judging from the portrait, he is both handsome and brave... These gods are really powerful in this regard. â
"Do I need a facial comparison? Merlin. â
Icarus said:
"It's a long time, but if this portrait isn't artistically exaggerated, then I think we should be able to find him through the North American surveillance system."
"Okay, let's get started."
Merlin Says:
"It's best to find him before this ferments, Thor, exiled... How do I feel that this matter is inextricably linked to what happened at the border of hell a few days ago? â
"Didi, Didi"
Just as Merlin was about to return to the restaurant and continue to eat with his family, another communication request was projected onto Icarus's lenses, a number Merlin knew.
Merlin stared at the communication, and he frowned:
â. Bīŧ And what is the matter with them? â
"Could it be that they found the alien prince who had fallen to Earth so quickly? Although this matter is theoretically in their hands, when did they become so efficient? â
As he pondered, he connected to the com, and Agent Z's chubby, joyful face appeared on Merlin's lenses.
After all these years, Agent Z has also fallen into his own midlife crisis.
Although he tried his best to hide it, Agent Z's bare head and severely fat figure still represented this . B's high-level commander was also ruthlessly pushed into an embarrassing age by time.
In the projection, Merlin can even see the thermos cup that Agent Z has in his hand...
Alas, it's already time to take care of yourself.
"Z, long time no see, what's the matter?"
Merlin and Agent Z greeted each other, and the two departments had occasionally collaborated over the years.
. B is a department that is biased towards administration and management, although it also has its own secret service organization, but most of them are used to monitor the aliens living on the earth, such as some sudden crisis events, such as fierce and disobedient alien troubles, such as alien invasions, etc., these events are about to get out of control. B will invite the powerful department S. L.D. intervenes in the situation.
Overall, the two departments are now quite close, and Coulson occasionally helps the brother department with some of the routine security checks.
"There's something, and it's a tricky thing."
Agent Z said to Merlin:
"Just 1 hour ago, our Network A defense system detected that an alien object emitting huge energy had fallen to Earth, and it landed in a desert in New Mexico, because the energy radiation of that thing was extremely high, so I sent J and K to check on the situation."
"Five minutes ago, they sent back a message saying it was a suspected alien weapon, and it wasn't a piece of technology we knew it with. They tested the energy of the thing, which was said to be a creation of suspected magical powers. â
Z shrugged his shoulders, uncovered the thermos, took a sip of water, and then said to Merlin:
"So that's your job, please send agents to contain it as soon as possible, Merlin."
"When that thing fell, it caused a small earthquake in the desert and changed the surrounding environment, and I don't think it would be a long time coming."
"And judging from my work experience, if it is discovered by ordinary people, it will inevitably lead to a lot of situations that should not occur."
"An alien weapon?"
Merlin rubbed his chin and asked, squinting his eyes:
"A warhammer, I guess? One-handed warhammer? If touched, there is also a subtle arc? â
"Huh?"
Z blinked in surprise, and he said:
"Do you already know about it?"
"No, I don't know."
Merlin Says:
"But I can probably guess what it is... A normal agent can't handle this. Forget it, I'll make a run myself, and let J and K wait for me, I'll probably be there in 20 minutes. â
"Okay."
Z answered, then hung up.
Merlin looked up at the sunset in the sky that was about to dissipate, he rubbed his face, and said:
"Mjournier, Mjolnir..."
"You Asgardians, what a mess... Just throw a powerful artifact and hit a child, what should I do? â
Merlin pushed his glasses and said:
"Icarus, send a message to old Randolph that if his son gets to Earth, let him go directly to New Mexico to join me."
With that, Merlin walked back to the dining room, entrusted the children to his sister, and then returned to the mystery house by himself, prepared the magic materials needed for the large seal, and confirmed the current situation at the border of hell with Liana.
Merlin was relieved only after learning that the Asgardians did not seem to have any intention of declaring war on the border.
At present, Thor's exile should be related to his rush into Satan's hell at the end of the war on the border of hell, and I don't know what Thor did in Satan's hell to make his father so angry and choose to exile a prince.
And Satana, the only one who knows about Satan's hell, is still in a state of secrecy, and she has other things to do, and she can't be contacted for a while, which makes Merlin more and more curious.
Of course, there is also some small guilt, how to put it, this incident is that the hapless Thor helped the children of hell to take the blame.
But seriously, Merlin didn't expect that Thor would be so reckless that he would be provoked by a few words from Satana and rush directly into the territory of a hellish lord to make a big fuss.
Should this be said to be Thor's recklessness?
Or should Satana be admired for her unparalleled cannon?
Fifteen minutes later, Merlin arrives in New Mexico via the Transfiguration Charm, where Skorch, the prince's squire from Asgard, is heading there.
He had come on a Pegasus, faster than the plane should have been, but it would take a few hours to get here from the Spanish side.
"K, why are you alone? Where's J? â
Merlin stepped forward and said hello to .B's old agent, K was much older than when Merlin first saw him, but his face was still the same as before.
The agent is said to have retired once in previous years, but has since returned to duty due to a serious incident.
Frank the Silly Dog also talks to Merlin about it, and the dog likes J but is very afraid of K.
"He's there."
While drinking coffee, K pointed to the center of the big crater in front of him, and he said helplessly:
"I thought J would grow a little better over the years, but he's still the same."
"Oh?"
Merlin turned his head to look at the big crater in front of him.
It is not easy to make a large crater in the desert with a bearing of several hundred meters, and the quicksand will quickly cover the large crater created by the force.
But the pit in front of Merlin was different, it seemed that a high-energy reaction had occurred here, and the quicksand around the pit had been glazed, apparently baked by extreme heat.
Most exaggeratedly, at the bottom of the crater, there was what appeared to be cooling magma flowing, and in the center of the hot liquid, there was a large shattered stone that had been blasted, and a silver-gray war hammer was embedded in it.
At this time, Agent J was holding the handle of the hammer in both hands, and his left foot was on the rock, seemingly trying to pull the hammer off the stone with all his might.
â......â
Merlin looked at the tired and panting J speechlessly, and he turned his head to K beside him and said:
"You're really going to have to take him to see his brain... This kind of thing is so easy to pull out. â
"I persuaded him."
K also seemed to feel a little embarrassed by his partner, and the old man turned his head to look at the desert behind him, and said:
"But he didn't listen, and I couldn't help it, besides, we just investigated the environment a few kilometers around, and some people came, but they left quickly."
"Huh?"
Merlin's eyes narrowed, and he said:
"Any other information?"
"Nope."
K says:
"We were only able to make sure that there was a car that stopped here, but it was impossible to track it down. As it fell, the hammer unleashed a storm of sand, erasing all traces left by those who lingered. â
"Well, that's a shame."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and motioned with his eyes for Icarus to check the nearest surveillance system nearby, and then he jumped out of the large pit where there was still a scorching aura in front of him, and at the bottom of this pit there was some magical power that could not be ignored.
It should be the energy that comes with Thor's hammer that is fluctuating.
"Tease, get out of the way!"
Merlin reached out and patted J, who was still trying to pull out Thor's hammer, and said:
"This thing is connected to the continental shelf, and unless you can blast it open with one punch, you don't even want to mention it if you use your strength."
"Who said that?"
Unconvinced, J straightened his collar, and said to Merlin:
"I could have felt it shake a little bit, it's definitely not an illusion, I just haven't found the right position... You told me to try again. â
"Don't try."
Merlin shook his head, he looked at the war hammer embedded in the stone in front of him, to be honest, the diagonal war hammer was so embedded in the rock, it seemed that he could grab it with a single stretch of his hand, it really made people feel eager to try.
Merlin's fingers moved, and after a few seconds, under J's gaze, he also raised his hand, as if to touch Thor's hammer.
But just as Merlin's fingers were about to touch the handle of the hammer, a dazzling bolt of lightning burst out from the surface of Thor's hammer and struck Merlin's fingertips hard.
"Well, what a character."
Merlin flicked his numb fingers as he walked around the hammer twice, and then quickly spotted the looming symbol on the hammer's face, as well as the rune of rune on it.
"What is this?"
J also found the rune that seemed to be activated by Merlin, and he asked curiously:
"Why doesn't it react this way when I touch it? It doesn't seem to like you? â
"Because you're still a normal person, J."
Merlin crouched by the rock, he replied casually, and then pushed his glasses:
"Icarus, translate."
A scanning beam of light shot out of Icarus's frame, and on the lens, samples of Rune's runes collected from Randolph were constantly compared, and a moment later, a complete sentence was projected before Merlin's eyes.
"Whoever lifts the Divine Hammer has the power of Thor!"
"It's like a prophecy."
Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he whispered:
"The prophecy from Odin can only be called the god of thunder if you pick up Mjournier."
"Well, it looks like Thor is in trouble..."
