Finding a possible breaking point in a thorny problem eased Merlin's slightly tense mood a little, but it didn't mean that his busy life could be put on hold.

There's a lot of work to be done.

After lunch, a black fighter plane, which had been invisible by refracting light, roared out of New York and sped north at a speed of more than Mach 10.

"Horus, set the target at the Arctic Glacier A-15 excavation site."

Merlin leans into the cockpit of Horus, a cockpit that has a futuristic feel to it, but unfortunately it doesn't fit in with a magical side figure like Merlin.

He was now holding a grimace book with a dull appearance and a moving eye on the cover, and while carefully studying the magic tome sent by Liana, he asked:

"How long will it take you to get there?"

"It takes 4 hours in cruise mode and 1.5 hours in combat readiness mode."

Horus, the mechanical knight, replied:

"But it's going to be a little bumpy."

"Well, it's a bit slow."

Merlin frowned and said:

"I thought you'd be a little faster."

"Sorry to disappoint you."

There was a hint of remorse in Horus's voice, and he replied:

"As soon as this trip is over, I'll be upgrading the modules to keep myself up to your expectations."

"No, you don't."

Merlin turned the pages and said:

"I don't need to apologize, I'm just saying it casually."

"Just set it for 1.5 hours, after all, it's half a world away, and the journey doesn't have to be quick to reach the destination, and it's not unacceptable to slow down occasionally."

"Okay."

Horus replied, and the next moment, the smoothly flying special-shaped fighter suddenly accelerated, and the originally stable fuselage began to tremble slightly, but it did not affect Merlin.

It was as if all his attention was on the tome in his hand.

This focus is normal and necessary.

Because this magic book sent by Liana is not simple, it records the second super-level magic that Merlin found, and it is also the super-level magic used by the demon lord when he fought against Belakis at that time.

Death Finger.

A super-level magic with a domineering name, but a slightly inferior effect.

As can be seen from the previous collision of Merlin's Elder Body with Hoggs' Ancient Body and Belakus's Death Finger, the magic with this cool name is not as valuable as the Ancient Body.

This is also normal, after all, the Ancient Body was taught to Merlin by the Supreme Mage himself, and this Death Finger Magic Book was found by Liana from the secret library of Belakos.

The origins of the two are very different, it has been heard that every Hell Lord in Hell uses this magic, but Merlin has never heard of any Hell Lord who has mastered Hoggs's Ancient Body.

But... How so?

No matter how weak the super-level magic is, it is also a means of super-level power, and Merlin must be cautious when reading it, the obscure knowledge that has been recorded is not friendly.

And the finger of death, this thing, just meets the killer requirements that Merlin urgently needs at this stage.

After the end of the Cybertron War, Merlin felt that his combat effectiveness needed to be improved, so it was estimated that the study of this magic book would occupy a lot of Merlin's remaining time.

The time of study is always short and happy, the 1.5 hours passed quickly, and the moment when Horus slowly landed on a deserted glacier, Merlin also put away the magic book in his hand, he took the blood-red cane, looked at the small camp set up hundreds of meters beyond the porthole in front of him, and said:

"Okay, let's see what the hell is about that spaceship buried in the glacier."

———————————————

"The glacier structure here is solid, and according to our engineers, it is very difficult to destroy it even if it is a concentrated explosion of shells."

Wearing a miner's hat, Sharon led Merlin down the stairs leading to the bottom of the glacier, which looked sturdy on a large metal shelf built around the glacier's fissure.

But the fissure beneath the glacier is deep, nearly a hundred meters long, like the entrance to hell with a wide mouth ready to devour the ignorant.

And Sharon, who arrived here 2 days early, already had enough information, and she gave Merlin a detailed introduction to the situation here:

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that those Autobots' spaceships were planted headlong on the glacier, and the terrifying impact destroyed the stability of the glacier, I'm afraid that the ship buried under the glacier would have taken a long time to be discovered."

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded, and he looked down the perimeter of the glacier staircase, and in the depths of the black hole at his feet, a silver-gray arc of light shone in the cold Arctic sun.

This is the exposed part of the ship, and from the part that can be seen, the whole ship must be very large.

"What about its parameters?"

Merlin, with a cane carved with skulls and eagle wings, like a leisurely backpacker, asked:

"Can you confirm how long this ship has been here?"

"Yes."

Sharon said to Merlin:

"Based on our detection of the ice around the spacecraft, the ship must have crashed into the Earth at least 18,000 years ago, or earlier, maybe it landed here without glaciers in the surrounding environment, because we found some samples of plant fibers that were already fossilized on the lower deck of the spacecraft."

"As for the parameters of this ship, sir, it's huge."

Sharon Says:

"At least 12 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in height, it looks like a strange half-cut cigar, and its weight, conservatively estimated, should be more than 200,000 tons, oh yes, the metal elements that make up this spacecraft are not found on Earth."

"I probably have the answer, but I still have to ask."

Merlin asked, as he descended the stairs:

"Is there any life in the spaceship?"

"This..."

There was a hint of embarrassment on Sharon's beautiful face, and she pushed her tea-red eyes and said to Merlin:

"We don't know, sir."

"Don't know?"

Merlin said dissatisfiedly:

"What's the answer?"

"Because none of the tools we have can open the hatch of this alien spacecraft."

Sharon led Merlin to the bottom of the glacier, which had been cleared, and she pointed to the huge spaceship in front of her, and said to Merlin:

"Even the strongest diamond drill bit can't leave scratches on this ship, and I've tried the lockpicking charm, but it didn't work. And because the impact of the Autobot spaceship has broken the structure inside the glacier, we can't brute force it. ”

"Oh, I see."

Merlin shook his head, and looking at the worn tools at his feet, he said to Sharon:

"I kind of know you're in such a hurry to get me here... You've taken me like a master key. ”

"That's right."

Sharon gave a sly smile and said:

"No door in the world can stop you, sir, can you?"

"The door, it's a symbol of boundaries, and for agents, it's frustrating to have boundaries."

Merlin took the key to the mystery house from his pocket, and in a shadow jump, he stood by the hatch of the ship, and he beckoned to Sharon:

"Come with me, Sharon, and let's see what's hidden in this ship."

"Of course, be ready for battle."

After saying that, Merlin inserted the bronze key in his hand into the metal hatch lock in front of him, there was not even a lock on the high-tech spaceship hatch in front of him, it was just a triangular groove like a chip inserted, but the bronze key in Merlin's hand still melted into the groove in a mercury-like way.

With the turn of Merlin's wrist, in a strange sound, the heavy, sealed alien spaceship for an unknown amount of time, opened its door to him.

An indescribable smell rushed out of it, like Merlin had opened a thousand-year-old tomb, but fortunately, there were no toxins in the dusty smell.

"Huh"

Merlin dodged into it, and Sharon, armed with a long sword, jumped into the ship with the chief, her other hand clasping the Golden Heron Elixir, a potion used by witchers to dispel poison.

"Uh... There really doesn't seem to be anyone here. ”

The moment he entered the spaceship, Merlin's perception was enveloped in the giant spaceship, but no trace of life was perceived, which made Merlin a little disappointed.

Even though he'd seen too many aliens, he was still curious about the possibility of being discovered by himself.

"Don't let your guard down, follow me."

Merlin walked briskly along the dimly lit chamber into the ship with his cane, and in the increasingly delicate perception of the darkness, the ship's complex, labyrinthine internal structure no longer held any secrets to Merlin.

However, the monotonous and strange interior of the ship caught his attention.

"It seems to be an exploration ship, or an immigration ship, and this style of compartment distribution I am. B's profile. ”

Merlin pushed his glasses, and he stroked the smooth, high-tech interior of the chamber, the metal felt strangely smooth and smooth, like an eggshell of steel.

"Wow"

A mechanical whisper sounded beside Merlin, and when he lowered his head, he saw a thing like an intelligent operating platform flip out of the smooth cabin and lean against Merlin's hand, the pale blue light beating, as if waiting for Merlin to enter the command.

But the problem is that there are no buttons at all on this palm-sized platform, only a triangular slot, exactly like the lock on the ship's hatch.

"Stand back!"

Merlin waved his hand, and he said to Sharon behind him:

"There may not be any living people on this ship, but the ship itself is still 'alive', and there must be a system operating it..."

"Bang"

Before Merlin could finish his sentence, a loud sound of a sharp sword cutting through metal sounded behind him, and Merlin turned around to see a silver-gray metal robot that had been cut through the center at the feet of Sharon, who was holding a red blade, and blue arc sparks were pulsing.

Well, the cut is smooth, and it seems that Sharon hasn't relaxed her swordsmanship practice lately.

"It's trying to sneak up on me."

Sharon shrugged her shoulders and said to Merlin:

"It's the witcher's instinct."

"Okay."

Merlin didn't blame Sharon, as she said, a good witcher has a lightning-fast movement for any crisis that arises around him, which is the instinct of the muscle memory of combat and training.

But the next moment, he looked at the dozens of defense robots like metal owls rushing from all directions with some headaches, judging from the red light shining on the heads of those robots, they should not have come with good intentions.

"It would be great if I could activate the smart machine mode at this time."

Merlin began to miss Icarus again, it would have been much easier if that AI had been here, but unfortunately, there seemed to be some problems with George's repair, and he didn't reply to him until now.

Luckily, though, there are alternatives to Merlin.

"Horus... Okay? ”

Merlin whispered, and the next moment, Horus's slightly indifferent voice came from Merlin's communicator.

"The database breakthrough progress is 67%, please hold on for a few more minutes."

"Okay."

Merlin nodded, and in front of him, the metal robots swarmed in, and Sharon pulled the potion bottle from her belt and was about to open it, but Merlin stopped her.

He reached out and grabbed Sharon's wrist, and the next moment, the Cloak of Shadows enveloped the two of them.

The Cloak of Shadows alone couldn't escape the detection of these alien robots, so Merlin's fingers rested on the Shadow Blade whip at his waist.

The heavy, icy shadows increased the shadow cloak's obscuration again, and this time, the humming silver-gray robots completely lost their purpose, and they patrolled back and forth in the cabin in a daze, until nearly a minute and a half later, with the crisp sound of electricity, the entire silent interior of the ship lit up.

The dark chamber was illuminated by a blue light, representing the completion of the remote maneuvering of the ship by the mechanical life Horus.

"Don't try to solve everything with weapons."

Merlin said to the assistant behind him:

"We're agents, not berserkers..."

While Merlin was teaching his subordinates life lessons, the red light spots of the leaders of the defense robots also turned into a milder blue, and Merlin walked out of the shadows with Sharon, and the robots quickly returned to their storage vault in an orderly manner as if they didn't see them.

"Where did this ship come from?"

Merlin looked at the buttonless manipulator at hand, and he asked:

"What is the purpose of its coming to Earth?"

"According to the star map in the starship database, it comes from a place in the galaxy called "Krypton". ”

Horus quickly replied:

"This is an exploration ship, Lord Merlin, and its purpose is to find a planet with a specific environment, but unfortunately, during a solar storm, this ship has remained on Earth forever, until now."

"Krypton?"

Merlin shook his head, he temporarily interrupted communication with Horus, then took his phone out of his pocket, and a moment later, the phone was connected, and Clarke's lazy voice rang in the phone:

"Merlin, do you want my help again?"

"You're taking a nap, aren't you? I'm sorry to disturb your dreams, but there are important things. ”

Merlin looked at the starship compartment in front of him, and he whispered:

"You've helped me a lot, my friend, so I decided to give you a gift in return. Get familiar with it now, and then go to the ghost base, someone will send you to see me..."

"Well, Clark, I've found what you've been looking for, and I've fulfilled my promise."

"About your background, about your hometown, and the bodies of some of your ancestors, you may need to be buried."
