"Wow"

A thick and shining thunderbolt ripped through the dark sky, illuminating the storm-covered ocean completely at this moment, like daylight.

The sea is never calm or gentle. Whenever you think you have conquered the sea, it will give you a slap in the face like a fierce woman.

Just like now, the sea that is still calm during the daytime is like being madly stirred by invisible hands at night, and the turbulence is rolling, throwing the heavy freighter from the sea, and throwing it into the sea frantically.

Bruce, who bound himself in the cabin, seemed vaguely recalling the scene of playing roller coaster when he was a kid. He was in a terrible situation.

To be honest, before this storm arrived, Bruce really did not know that he was also seasick.

"It's all my fault, I should leave here earlier."

Merlin's situation is better, he lies at the entrance of the cargo compartment, trying to listen to the sound coming from above the cabin.

In the dark perception, he could hear the crew's horrified shouts and the captain's angry roar, and it seemed that some bad things had appeared in the cabin.

Merlin's face was ugly. Although he didn't know whether the storm was accidental, Merlin still subconsciously believed that the doom that he had been suppressing had erupted before the vessel was in danger.

He stood upright in the crazy swinging cargo compartment. He looked back at the dizzy Bruce. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, pushing the cargo compartment door open.

"Bruce, take care of yourself."

Merlin shouted:

"I'll check it out."

Bruce Wayne saw Merlin rushing out of the cargo compartment, he wanted to help, but his situation was really terrible.

He struggled to loosen the rope around his waist and supported the beating ship's wall, moving towards the upper cabin all the way.

Merlin rushed down the kitchen into the dining room. The closer he was to the deck, the more scorching breath he shouldn't have appeared in this cold storm.

That was the flame burning, while the ship was hit by the storm, and a sudden fire broke out in the cabin because of the sudden failure of the operating machinery.

The closer he got there, the more he could hear the clutter of the crew, as if a few unlucky eggs were trapped in the fire.

"Give up, give up!"

Merlin couldn't hide himself anymore. He took his sunglasses and turned away the panicked crew. He covered the cold shadow on the body surface, picked up the fire extinguisher from the side, and ran towards the cabin blocked by the flame in front of him.

The shadow of the bunker would allow him to persist in the flame for a little longer.

But even if it is really a fatal crisis, the dark energy in his body will not let him die.

"Who is that lunatic!"

The chief officer who heard the news grabbed a crew member and pointed to Merlin who rushed into the fire to shout:

"Why have I never seen him?"

"No one knows, boss."

The crew wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head frantically:

"Maybe it's a stowaway...but at least he is helping us now."

"Wow"

Another big wave struck the entire cargo ship and threw it up so that the seafarers could not stand upright and staggered in the seared cabin.

They opened their eyes wide and looked at the burning compartment in front of them. No matter what their sense of Merlin suddenly appeared, they could only pray that the guy who appeared suddenly could rescue their brother trapped in the fire.

One minute, two minutes, until the moment when everyone was desperate, the fat chef who refused to give up suddenly pointed to the beating flame in front of him and shouted:

"It's him! It's that young man!"

"He really did it! Quickly help!"

The crew waiting by the fire approached with all their arms and feet, dragging the breathless Merlin and the guys who were dragged from the fire to the side. These unlucky eggs were burned but not fatal. If Merlin went ten minutes later, their situation might be worse.

Merlin was lying on the side, and there were signs of burns on his body, but fortunately, he was not obviously injured except for being tired.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you are doing on this boat."

The black chief mate closed the door in front of him to stop the fire from spreading. He stared down at Merlin. He said:

"But maybe now everyone on this ship will thank you."

Merlin didn't have the strength to answer him, he just wiped the black dust on his face and waved his hand. While the fire in this cabin was under control, Merlin looked out of the window, and the gusty rain that seemed to destroy everything seemed to have become smaller.

The worst moment in this doom finally passed.

Early the next morning, the sudden storm completely stopped a few hours ago. The ships that had almost lost their power, and the ships that could only float on the sea, finally waited for the rescuers.

Several ships from Ci'en Port approached the cargo ship. They had to send the crew to the port first, and then arrange for the tugboat to tow the damaged light cargo ship back to the dock.

At this time, in the captain's room, the tired old captain stared at Merlin and Bruce in the eyes. He smoked a cigarette, knocked on the table, and said:

"Maybe I should give the two of you to the police. After all, you are stowaways and have stolen a lot of our food. The most important thing is that I suspect that you have other purposes. After all, Stark Industries often suffers Spying on commercial spies sent by other colleagues...but unfortunately, I have no evidence to prove this."

"But we also saved your crew."

Merlin, with a hemostatic bandage on his face, looked at the captain and said:

"So I think we should be even, right?"

"Tie?"

The old captain narrowed his eyes and said in a harsh tone:

"Think beautiful!"

The tall old man stood up, and he stared at Merlin and Bruce poorly. The aggressive look made the two young men take a step back.

After a few minutes, the old man sat down again. He pulled open the drawer, took an envelope out of the drawer, and threw it to Merlin.

Merlin took the envelope in his hand, looked down, and found that there was a lot of money in the envelope.

He looked up at the old captain with some doubt, who shrugged to him:

"Now, we are even."

"This is the'gift' that those crew members gave you. After all, you saved their lives, and I should actually thank you."

The old man picked up another cigarette, and after lightly igniting, he said to Merlin and Bruce:

"The internal affairs processing process of Stark Industries is very cumbersome, and one of the limits is the casualties. If you didn’t save the bad luck, I am afraid I will fly back to New York to be investigated now...the **** group XX's **** on my face won't let me pass so easily, so, in theory, you have saved my precarious career."

"Now, get out! There is a boat waiting for you underneath. I shouldn't have seen you. Next time, don't let me see you two thieves stealing again."

Merlin and Bruce glanced at each other. Merlin threw the envelope to Bruce, yawned, and turned away from the cabin.

And Bruce withdrew a piece of money from the envelope and placed it on the old captain's desk. The young man with blue eyes said to the unknown captain:

"This is wine money, thank you for your hospitality these days."

"Also remind me, don't buy wine in that shop next time. Those'precious' whiskeys in your wine cabinet... are fake."

—————————————————————

"Uh, the wine here tastes strange."

At the pier in Ci'en Port, Bruce and Merlin went together. Merlin took a sip of the wine he had just bought, and said to Bruce with a sad look:

"Just like the juice after the night."

"Okay."

Bruce didn't care. He felt the oncoming sea breeze and said to Merlin:

"Enjoy it, it was bought with our own money."

"Um... so, this wine tastes better."

Merlin laughed, drained the wine in his hand, and threw the cup into the trash can. He was wearing sunglasses and looked around, pointing to the beach not far away, and said to Bruce:

"Look! There is a lighthouse."

"Not only the lighthouse..."

Bruce narrowed his eyes. He looked over the lighthouse deep into the sea. He said:

"There is still someone on it, what is he doing?"

"That's a kid, hell!"

Merlin raised his head, and his enhanced vision saw the moving object at the edge of the lighthouse. It was a little boy lying on the railing. It seemed that he would fall from the lighthouse in the next moment. He hurriedly patted Bruce's shoulder :

"He's about to fall! Hurry!"

Bruce immediately dropped the bottle in his hand and followed Merlin to the lighthouse.

But just as they were about to approach the lighthouse, Merlin exclaimed, and in front of the two, the little boy holding the lighthouse railing jumped down from above the lighthouse.

"damn it!"

Seeing the child fall into the sea, Merlin took off his jacket as he ran and threw it to Bruce. He rushed all the way to the beach and jumped into the sea without a word.

Merlin's swimming skills were not too bad. He plunged into the cold sea, swaying his hands and feet, and rushed towards the boy who was struggling on the sea.

Bruce grabbed a swimming ring attached to the rope on the dock railing and ran to the direction of the child's fall on the shore.

"I got you! Don't let go!"

Merlin was near the child floating in the water. He grabbed his hand and shouted:

"Don't be afraid, I will save you."

"I don't want you to save!"

As a result, the child's struggle became more intense. His blond hair was wet, and he screamed stubbornly at Merlin:

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to find my mother!"

"Don't make trouble!"

At the moment of crisis, Merlin ignored the boy's scream. He grabbed the child's arm with one hand, paddled the water with one hand, and swam towards the shore.

"Come help me! Come help me!"

The little boy who was held by Merlin shouted in the direction of the ocean. At first, Merlin thought that it was a child's trouble, but soon, he found that the surrounding water was not right.

fish!

There are fish everywhere!

From small black fish, to silver, swordfish moving on the sea, and even drones of dolphins, when Merlin turned his head, he even saw the spray of whales and sharks overseas. Fins erected on the sea.

In just a few minutes, Merlin felt like he was being chased by a storm of fish. He sensed the crisis, and even the dark power in his body was flowing at this moment.

In the cold water, Merlin covered the shadow on the body and pulled the child into the shadow cloak.

He didn't dare to struggle, he could see several dangerous sharks cruising a few tens of meters beside him.

Merlin held the boy's mouth tightly, he had a crazy guess...

Perhaps it was the boy who called the fish.

Those fish are here to help him.

"What the hell! What's wrong with this world?"

Merlin gritted his teeth and groaned. Under the shadow of the shadow cloak, the wandering fish lost their target and spread out in the shallow sea.

The dangerous sharks also noticed the presence of food, and they scattered their prey, which finally let Merlin feel relieved.

He grabbed the little boy who was no longer struggling, and swam forward more than 20 meters, and then grabbed the swimming ring thrown by Bruce, and the boy with golden hair returned to the shore.

The lighthouse and the pier are still some distance away, so this bizarre scene was not seen by too many people.

Merlin rushed ashore holding the boy, he gave Bruce a glance, and the latter immediately understood.

A few minutes later, Merlin took the boy to the big lighthouse in Ci'en Port. He sat in a chair at the door of the lighthouse. While wringing his clothes, he looked at the little boy in front of him, and the child was looking at him.

"Those fish...are you calling?"

Bruce squatted beside the little boy. He took the towel he had just bought from his backpack and wiped the little boy's hair. He asked:

"What is your name?"

"Arthur, my name is Arthur."

The little boy answered Bruce's question, but his eyes kept staring at Merlin.

It's like observing a mysterious character.

Merlin had just escaped the terrible fate of being eaten by sharks. He was in a bad mood and scared the little boy with a bad voice:

"Look what? Look again, I will throw you into the sea!"

"You are a magician! I saw it! You covered us with a shadow!"

Little Arthur was not afraid of Merlin’s threat. On the contrary, he glared his eyes and looked at Merlin. He said to Merlin with a trace of expectation:

"Master Magician, can you take me to the deep sea?"

The question asked by the child surprised Merlin for a moment.

He knew that the child in front of him was definitely not ordinary. Maybe he could find a solution to his doom from him, so Merlin asked back:

"Then tell me, why are you going to the deep sea?"

"Because my mother is there!"

Little Arthur replied crisply:

"Just in Atlantis, a city of underwater people, my mother is the queen!"

Talking, he was sad again, he lowered his head, and while playing with his fingers, he said to Merlin:

"I have tried to swim to find her many times, but I am too young, and I still cannot swim. Every time I swim too long, those fish will not help me... you are the first I met Magician, can you help me?"

Merlin was about to answer, but at this moment, the door that the big lighthouse had been closed was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A man in a sweater, haggard but hard to hide, stood at the door. The little Arthur saw him and cheered and fell into the man's arms.

"Daddy, Daddy! I have found Mr. Magician! He will help us find our mother, he promised me!"

"Really?"

The man smiled. He stroked his son's hair. He said:

"My little Arthur is really amazing."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Merlin and Bruce again, with a trace of scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes. After a while, he turned his side and made a "please" gesture.

He says:

"But unfortunately, the two of them are not magicians...so they can't help us."

"However, please come in and sit down, two kind gentlemen."
