"This cargo ship belongs to Stark Industries. They are rich and rich. Don't look at this ship is a bit old, but in the crew room and captain's room, there are special refrigerators, which contain a lot of good things."

Merlin walked in the dark and whispered to Bruce around him:

"I know a few guys who like to play cards always play late in the restaurant. There are no one in their cabins. I am watching here. You go in to get things. Don’t take snacks, get something to eat and drink. Yes, do you understand?"

"Ok."

Melin's new friend Bruce doesn't like to talk much. He is a very young man.

Although there is a kind of innate wealth, but at this critical moment, he is also unambiguous.

At Merlin's urging, Bruce in his shirt climbed up the railing of the crew room three or two times, carrying a small pocket, and crept to Merlin to tell his cabin.

Merlin also jumped on the railing, stood on the edge, and looked around alertly. On the deck not far away, there were lights shining from time to time, and sailors walking around the night.

In the past, he always fetched things in the kitchen. The reason why he rarely came to the crew room was that there were so many people here that he would be discovered if he was not careful. Now with the help of Bruce, under the cooperation of the two people, Merlin can finally improve the food.

Bruce, who came from a wealthy family, was doing this for the first time. Before taking food from Merlin, he was forced to collect it. Now, he is actively collecting food. This kind of stealing behavior makes Bruce very troubled.

Because of some things in the past, he hated any criminal and criminal behavior, but now he has to do such things in order to survive.

In this inner entanglement, Bruce slipped into the unmanned cabin smoothly.

The cabin is very chaotic. After all, the sailors who have lived on the sea all year round did not have good hygiene habits. Bruce endured the pungent smell. He reached out and opened the small refrigerator on the edge, where the light of the refrigerator was lit. At that moment, Bruce saw something in it.

A few apples, a few smoked sausages, a bag of chocolates, a few packets of instant food, and a huge number of soft drinks.

He didn't even look at the food on these days. Under the urge of hunger in Bruce's abdomen, this noble boy even secreted saliva.

Since he slipped onto the boat 2 days ago, he has eaten nothing but Merlin's chicken pieces.

Prompted by that eating instinct, Bruce picked up an apple and took a bite. The sweetness made him unable to take a second bite.

Only a moment later, a frozen apple was eaten clean.

Fortunately, Bruce remembered Merlin’s instructions, he bit the apple core, moved his hands, and swept the contents of the refrigerator into his pocket, but just when he wanted to take something more, a sudden The hand, clasped on Bruce's wrist, startled Bruce.

He turned back with a punch.

"Don't take too much, rookie!"

Merlin jumped out of the shadows to avoid his fists, he glared at Bruce, and then looked at the refrigerator he had made a mess, he said to the young man with a headache:

"The crew is not a fool. If you mess up like this, they will be guarded next time. You can't just look at the present, you have to think about it for the future."

Talking, Merlin took Bruce's pocket and put some of the contents back in the refrigerator to put them back in place. He pinched a piece of chocolate, shook it in front of Bruce's eyes, and then threw it into his pocket, he said:

"This kind of high-calorie stuff is very important, and it's easy to carry, take more."

Merlin put all the apples back in the refrigerator, he said:

"Fruit like this is not easy to keep, just take one at a time."

He glanced back at the apple core in Bruce's hand.

Merlin shook his head, took another apple, threw it into his pocket, and then closed the door of the refrigerator.

"Leave, next!"

Led by a skilled expert like Merlin, in just 20 minutes, Bruce’s pocket was filled with all kinds of things, not only food, but also towels, unopened toothbrushes and combs, which can be used as lunch boxes Life necessities such as the big cup.

Unlike Merlin's prepared "travel", Bruce rushed into the ship and ran away from home as soon as his brain was hot. He was almost unprepared except for the precious clothes on his body.

Merlin had to teach him how to live in such a strange environment.

The last stop of the two of them "searching" was the captain's room.

The captain is the person with the highest status on a ship, like a king in a small kingdom, the gain in the captain's room should also be the biggest.

But the captains are often experienced people, so if not necessary, Merlin will never slip into the captain's room. A little carelessness will directly lead to a big search for "stowaways."

It's worth the loss.

"The captain should be eating supper this time, we still have 5-10 minutes."

Merlin looked at the watch on his wrist and he said to Bruce looking around:

"This time I went, you hid next to you and saw someone coming, you knocked three times, understand?"

"Ok."

Bruce nodded silently, Merlin handed his pocket to Bruce, and then reached out and twisted the lock on the captain's room a few times.

He took out a few thin iron picks and was about to open the door with some technical means, but turned his head and saw Bruce staring at him with wide eyes.

This made Merlin a little uncomfortable. He was not used to doing these things under the watch of others, so he said:

"Should you turn your head? Don't look at these!"

"Maybe we shouldn't do this..."

Bruce tweeted:

"We have enough to eat, we should go back."

"There are the most important things that I didn't get."

Merlin's fingers moved slightly, he said:

"Today we can meet is the arrangement of fate. I have to arrange a "welcome meeting" for my little brother. How can I do without wine? You can be content, Bruce. When I left home, no one did it for me. Do this. Besides, our captain is not a frugal person. He can’t use things and will be thrown away or sold after landing...Do you understand what I mean?"

"Click"

With a soft bang, the hatch opened.

Merlin walked into it and slowly closed the door.

Bruce hugged his pockets and endured the cold wind at night. His attention was concentrated in this night. Any wind and grass would cause Bruce to be highly alert.

He desperately hoped that this matter would end soon, so that he would not be so worried.

But the more afraid people are, the more they will come.

Five minutes later, Bruce heard the voices of several men. He hurriedly raised his head, and saw the bellied captain and several crew members coming out of the restaurant, walking toward the captain's room.

Bruce curled his fingers in a hurry, knocked three times on the cabin, and then hidden his figure in the shadow of the corner, praying that no one would be found.

The fear of being caught doing a wrong thing shrouded Bruce, making the young man somewhat at a loss. Seeing the captain getting closer, Bruce's heart was faster and faster, and even his breathing became rapid.

Merlin has not moved.

Until the captain was less than 20 meters away from his room, when Bruce’s inner tension reached its limit, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, and Merlin’s voice also sounded behind him:

"Hold it! Don't be afraid, don't make a sound! Don't move!"

After talking, a box was stuffed into Bruce’s hand, and then, a slightly cold wind blew on him, and the picture in front of him also became a little blurry, like being pulled into a layer of In a very clear dark curtain.

Bruce and Merlin stuck together, and the two stood on the edge of the captain's room.

It stands to reason that the captain can see both of them at a glance as long as he has not drunk. But to Bruce's surprise, the captain seemed to not see them at all, so he opened the door of the room straight, and walked in.

"boom"

The door closed, and Bruce kept lifting his heart, and let go.

"Come on, let's go back."

Merlin walked in front, shook the bottle in his hand towards Bruce, and under his leadership, the two avoided the whole person from the other direction and returned to their "room".

"Click"

An emergency light tube was twisted open and placed on the ground. The faint light illuminated the "small house" enclosed by the box.

Merlin and Bruce sat on the floor. In front of them, a wooden box was brought to the table. Fruits, meat, bread, steaks, smoked sausages were placed on the table cloth. Under the light, these ordinary Food also seems to be tempting.

"boom"

Merlin opened the bottle again, took out two glasses, and poured two glasses of wine for the two. Looking at the logo on the bottle, he said to Bruce:

"Look, 20 years of whiskey, our captain really enjoys it, but unfortunately there are no ice cubes."

Bruce didn't say anything. He picked up the glass, lifted Merlin, and poured the amber liquor into his mouth. After a moment, Bruce frowned and put the wine glass down. He took a piece of bread, sandwiched the smoked sausage, took a bite, and said to Merlin:

"There is no 20 years at all, this wine is at most 5 years, the captain was cheated."

"Yo, expert."

Merlin took the fruit and took a bite. He looked at Bruce up and down. He smiled and said:

"I knew that your identity was unusual. Like me, I can't tell the difference between 20 and 5 years."

"In fact, it makes no difference."

Bruce looked down, as if he did not want Merlin to see his expression. He said:

"It tastes the same... speaking, what did you do just now?"

"what?"

Merlin eating fruit deliberately confused, trying to hide it, but Bruce looked up, his blue eyes staring at Merlin until the latter turned his head.

"The captain should be able to see us, but he ignores it. Or, you use some method to make him see us. Is it some kind of technology? Or... or magic?"

"Magic? Have you drunk too much, Bruce, there is no magic in this world."

Merlin laughed. He used a drinking posture to hide his expression. The young man in front of him was so sharp that he still had time to pay attention to it in such a nervous situation.

"Have!"

Bruce picked up another piece of bread, and after filling up his stomach, his thinking started to work. He said:

"In Gotham's place, although I haven't seen it, I have at least heard it."

"You may not know it, but my ancestors were the first Puritans who arrived on the American continent. In the hand they left, they recorded the magic of the Indian wizard. And my steward Afu was also on the battlefield. I have seen voodoo spells in my own eyes. There is magic in this world. What’s more, your name is Merlin... how can this name not let me associate too much?"

"Okay, it looks like you are really knowledgeable."

Merlin raised his head and held out his hand, taking off the sunglasses he had been carrying. Those abnormal eyes made Bruce straighten his body subconsciously. He looked at Merlin with surprise in his eyes.

"So, are you really a wizard?"

"I'm not!"

Merlin says:

"I'm just a poor man who is doomed by misfortune. You don't have to ask too much about it. Bruce, I am for you. But speaking of it, I am more interested in the notes left by your ancestors. They Did you say, where can I find wizards who use magic?"

A trace of thirst flashed in Merlin's eyes, which was almost the first time he had actually come into contact with someone who knew the supernatural power. He had been disappointed for too long, and he was eager to get something useful.

Facing Merlin's inquiry, Bruce recalled with his eyes closed. He stuffed the bread into his mouth. After more than ten seconds, he replied a little uncertainly:

"My ancestors’ records of the strange things were interrupted during the Civil War. But I still remember that my great-grandfather once wrote a story, that is some stories he experienced while traveling in the west. That is At the end of the Western era, in the desert near Texas, he had personally seen a cavalry knight riding on a horse."

Bruce said to Merlin:

"My grandfather said that it was a disaster from God. He also bought a talisman from the locals. It is said to have strange powers. That was the most real supernatural event in the records of my family in the last few hundred years. "

"Texas?"

Merlin nodded. He wasn't sure what Bruce said was true, but it was travel anyway. If he had a chance, he could take a look at the western land.

He looked at Bruce who was eating quietly in front of him. He felt that the young man who was smaller than him seemed to be hiding many secrets.

He asked:

"Tell you about it, Bruce. What makes a rich man give up everything and become a tramp with a guy like me?"

This problem stopped Bruce's eating, and then he shook his head:

"No, I don't want to say it now."

"Then forget it."

Merlin was also not entangled. He realized that it was really not good to ask such strangers very personal questions.

He took the wine glass and lifted it to Bruce. He said:

"In short, you are welcome to join my "League of Homes", Bruce. We will have to help each other for the next period of time. Rest when you are full, and I will take you on board tomorrow."

"If you want to live here for a long time, at least you have to know where the bathroom and toilet are, and you have to know how to hide and seek with the crew...well, don't disturb you."

"Take a good rest, Bruce, feel better. At least tomorrow is another day full of expectations."
