"Arthur is a good boy, but he can't control his thoughts about his mother. Maybe, I shouldn't have given him so many stories about the sea. Then he wouldn't always take risks and always wanted to go into the deep sea. "

Tom Curry, the lighthouse administrator of Ci'en Port, is sitting on the sofa at this time, holding a cup of hot tea.

He looked at his son and played on the carpet with his domestic kitten.

On both sides of him, Merlin and Bruce sat there as guests.

"But in reality, there is no Atlantis nor any undersea people, it's just Arthur's fantasy."

Mr. Tom smiled at Merlin. There was some helplessness in his smile. He lowered his head and explained:

"A child his age always likes to be cranky."

"Then his mother?"

Bruce asked in a whisper that Tom's tea drinking stopped, and the lighthouse administrator, who was very poet-like, smiled and said to Bruce gently:

"Arthur's mother died in dystocia. She left my life five years ago."

"Do you mean that the little Arthur said is a fairy tale he heard?"

Merlin asked, and Tom nodded, he didn't seem to want to say much about it. But Merlin, who saw hope again, didn't want to miss it. He stared at Tom's eyes. He said cautiously:

"This kid can call for fish to help him. I have seen it with his own eyes, and he can even control dangerous sharks and whales..."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and took off his sunglasses. He said:

"This is a rare ability, and I don't think everyone in Maine has this ability. And Mr. Tom, I'm sorry for my son's words, but I... you also saw that I need help."

"You, your eyes! Is it caused by magic?"

Tom was indeed a knowledgeable person. After seeing the abnormality of Merlin's eyes, he was not too surprised, and there was no fear in his eyes.

He looked at Merlin, who nodded, which made Tom understand Merlin's intentions.

After a few seconds, Tom put down the cup and shook his head:

"I understand that being involved in these supernatural things as a mortal will always lead to bad consequences. But unfortunately, I can't help you, Mr. Merlin, you also saw that, I... just a little more experienced Ordinary people."

"But you have at least those experiences."

Merlin almost said in an imploring tone:

"Mr. Tom, the things I experienced made me exhausted. I don’t want to go back to before. I just want to eliminate my doom and find a place to start my life again. If you have experienced the same Things, then please... please help me!"

"If you have any concerns or requirements, please say so!"

Bruce also said:

"I...I will do my best to meet your requirements."

Bruce and Merlin are friends who have experienced hardship together. He is about to leave North America. He hopes to see Merlin get rid of this bad fate before he leaves.

At least no longer need to use that painful self-mutilation to suppress doom every day.

The request of the two young men made Tom hesitate.

A moment later, Tom took the nap little Arthur back to the room. When he came out, he turned his head to Merlin and Bruce:

"Let's go out and talk."

A few minutes later, under the lighthouse, near the reef near the sea, Tom in a windbreaker said to the two young people around him:

"Here, five years ago, I found Arthur's mother here. She was seriously injured at that time. I rescued her and left her to live in the lighthouse. Then we became friends. At first we just attracted each other and then we fell in love... . After the sweetest time, forced to separate again."

The sea breeze touched Tom's face and his trench coat. Tom's eyes had a pain that he couldn't relieve. He took a deep breath and said softly:

"Yes, I have seen Atlanta use magic. I know that the people on the sea floor of Atlantis have ocean warlocks who specialize in fighting with magic. I have personally seen those people who manipulate the water, set off storms and tides, sea water. Transformed into the most powerful weapon in their hands. Unfortunately, this is all I know."

"Then do you have a way to contact those undersea people?"

Merlin looked at the rough sea in front of him, and he asked:

"Or, can you tell me where to find them?"

Tom shook his head. He looked at the endless sea before him. He said:

"No. Five years ago, when the undersea people landed to forcibly take away Atlanta, I should have died because my lover saved me and my son at the expense of their freedom. She She didn’t want us to be involved in the battle of the Seven Seas Kingdom, and she didn’t leave any way to contact the undersea people, but..."

Tom hesitated. He looked back at Merlin and looked at the beating sparks in Merlin's eyes. He said:

"I don’t know if it’s an illusion. In the past few years, I always feel that there are other creatures in the surrounding waters. After graduating from college, I lived on the side of the lighthouse. At first, I did research on sea creatures. Later, when I met Atlanta, I simply became the lighthouse administrator here. I know the marine life around me very well."

"Mr. Merlin, I can tell you that this sea is not a habitat for sharks and whales, but they are now here. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ok."

Merlin nodded:

"The food chain of all living things in any environment should be stable. Such a large-scale ecological change will inevitably have a force to promote. You mean, there may be undersea people in this sea area?"

"Yes."

Tom nodded. He said with a little worry:

"There should be someone from the same place as Atlanta, but I don’t know his or her intention. On the night that Atlanta was taken away, my life was insignificant, the only one I couldn’t let go , My son and Atlanta, Arthur Jr. If the underwater man came with malicious intent, I would not be able to protect my son..."

Tom stopped. He turned back to the cliff bay on the other side of the lighthouse. He said to Merlin:

"I don’t want to hide you, Mr. Merlin. I saw a figure leaping down on the cliff at midnight, jumping into the sea, and more than once, so if you want to find things related to people under the sea in this place , It’s time to look up from there. But it’s dangerous, not only because the cliff is 200 feet from the sea, the most important thing is that I have personally seen those armed undersea people..."

"Their attitude towards our land people is really not friendly."

"200 feet?"

When Bruston shook his head, he said to Merlin:

"Without any protection, jump into the sea from 200 feet. Even if you are lucky enough not to hit the reef, you will be drowned by the impact force and the undercurrent of the sea. This is no longer a risk. This is to find death, Merlin. !Don't try it!"

"I know."

Merlin looked at the lighthouse behind the cliff bay, which seemed to be cut off by an invisible blade. The light in his eyes was beating. He said:

"But I have to try it... I have been away from home for almost a year, Bruce, this is my first time so close to real magic. I have to try it, I have to try it!"

"Then hold this."

Tom took a silver pendant from his trench coat pocket. At the end of the pendant was a delicate trident emblem.

He looked at the pendant, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past, he said to Merlin:

"This is one of the few things that Atlanta left to Arthur. This is a creation from Atlantis. If there are really undersea people, then this thing may make you from his hostility. Escape."

Tom took Merlin's hand. Like Merlin before, he said to Merlin with a voice of prayer:

"I beg you as a father, Mr. Merlin. If you meet the man under the sea, if he is in good faith, then please help me inquire... Atlanta, Arthur's mother, whether, still? Alive... well, should I let Arthur continue to touch the sea water...I don’t know, Arthur is talented, he is different from me, but I don’t know if this is a good thing for him ."

"I will ask."

Merlin took the pendant and he nodded to Tom:

"If I can survive, I will definitely ask."

After that, Merlin turned to look at Bruce again. He said to the worried Bruce:

"But before that, there is one more thing. I have to send you away first, my friend."

———————————————————————

"I don't understand, you should let me accompany you, at least let me prepare on the cliff. Two people go, it is better than one, at least we can take care of each other."

Bruce was carrying a backpack and a baseball cap. Behind him was a freighter about to sail to Europe.

Tom Curry grew up in Ci'en Port when he was a child. He was very familiar on this pier. It only took him 20 minutes to help Bruce find the boat. He also said to the familiar captain that Bruce would do odd jobs on board to arrive for the ticket to Europe.

Merlin put Arthur Jr. on his neck, teasing Arthur Jr., and said to Bruce:

"I'm afraid you have this idea, so I must send you away."

"I know you treat me as a friend, Bruce, and I also treat you as a friend, so I don't want to see you in danger because of me. This is my business, my adventure, and you hear what Tom said. By the way, the undersea people are like real superhumans compared to us, and they are not friendly to land people."

"Besides, I am in danger. At least I can escape. If you are added, our hope of escape will be too slim."

"You are treating me as a burden! What a hate."

Bruce gritted his teeth and punched Merlin in the chest, causing Arthur on Merlin's shoulder to giggle. Bruce took a piece of sugar from his pocket and stuffed it into Arthur's hand, then stretched out his hand to pull the baseball cap. He seriously said to Merlin:

"Regardless of whether this can be achieved, persevere, okay? I will help you find information about magic in Europe. The history there is even older. I believe I will find it."

"Come on, Bruce, are you afraid that I will commit suicide in despair?"

Merlin took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and he said to Bruce:

"I've experienced such a terrible nightmare. What do you think can beat me in this world? Stay in touch, Bruce. When you return to North America, if I'm still alive... then let's drink together! "

"Say what! A person like you will not die so easily."

Bruce reached out and patted Merlin on the shoulder. He stuffed something into Merlin's hand. He said:

"Stay alive! Wait for me to come back. If you really have trouble that you can't solve, just use this to find Afu. He will definitely help you. But... don't just disclose my whereabouts, do you understand?"

Merlin looked down and saw a note with a phone number in his hand.

He put the note away and looked at Bruce clearly in front of him. He reached out to Bruce and said:

"You too. No matter where you are, no matter what happened to you, don't forget why Bruce Wayne set foot on this path."

"When darkness tempts you, never forget who you are. I know what you did, Bruce. You are a person who is born to do great things. I can feel it."

Bruce took Merlin's hand without hesitation. He looked at Merlin. There was emotion in his blue eyes. He smiled and asked:

"Is my evaluation in your heart so high? Then let me ask you, what should I do if the darkness whispers to me?"

Merlin shrugged and said:

"Then give it a slap!"

"Hahaha"

The two young men smiled happily. In a few minutes, Merlin helped Bruce carry his luggage and took him to the boat.

On the pier, Merlin took Arthur's hand and Tom stood beside him. They waved farewell to Bruce and watched the ship, carrying the first true friend of his life away from the coast.

The ship slowly went away in Merlin's sight, he withdrew his gaze, and Merlin's last worries disappeared.

He took a deep breath and looked back at Tom next to him. He said:

"I don't want to wait, just tonight."

"But before that... can you teach me to dive?"
