It seems that the security in this sky city is not as good as expected. ”

Merlin sighed in his heart, and then focused his attention on a monster in front of him.

His first impression of this monster was that it was really ugly, it was simply a fish with limbs, still slimy, and exuding a fishy smell.

This is a "fish-man", a transcendent race that is only active in the ocean or on the seashore, and the fish-man seen in this sky city should not be the original, I think it is the product of the immediate transfiguration.

And just now, when Merlin and the others followed Cynthia to an unknown and remote fairy bookstore to buy textbooks for the three students, the fish-man suddenly jumped out of nowhere and blocked them with obvious malice.

"You come with me."

The fish-man said to them with his bulging fish eyes.

And as his voice fell, an invisible fluctuation emanated from the eyes of the pair of fish, which also enveloped several people, and after making eye contact with those eyes, Merlin's body was about to act according to the words of this fishman.

But in less than a second, he regained consciousness and regained control of his body.

After he became conscious, he wanted to alert the others as soon as possible, but found that except for the eyes of Diana and his daughter, who seemed to be about to really follow the fishman, everyone else did not react at all.

Well, it's not that there is no reaction at all, little Alice was ugly and cried by the appearance of this fishman, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Merlin's clothes, and the cheap apprentice Cinderella also leaned towards him.

And then ....

And then there was no then.

Merlin is a little sympathetic to this kind of fish-man who has no eyesight, you say it's not good for you to find someone, why are you staring at them, he is now a sage in his left hand, a sword saint in his right hand, even if it is an arrogant dragon in the face of this combination, he has to squat down politely and speak, God knows who gave this poor fish-man the courage to play tricks.

Although the fish-man decisively pulled his legs and ran away the moment he realized that his methods were useless, it was useless.

After a flash of purple light flashed in Cynthia's eyes, the fish-man's eyes became hollow, and then he stood still as if he had been immobilized.

Well, this thing has been hypnotized by Cynthia.

"It's still a magic eye owner, no wonder he's so fat, but it's a pity that it's just a hypnotic eye at the level of a cool crystal, and it's not very useful. Forget it, don't pick up things for nothing. ”

Cynthia stepped forward to look at the poor fish-man, and then she naturally reached out and wiped it in front of the fish-man's eyes, and then held up a pair of eyeball-sized crystal-like orbs to look at it, and her tone was a little disgusted.

Merlin who saw this abrupt scene: "......"

"Cynthia..."

His face twitched, and he called his cheap sister's name as a way to show his displeasure.

"Can you be careful not to scare the child."

Merlin stretched out his hand to cover the eyes of the little Alice beside him, thanks to the fact that this fish-man is too ugly, the little Lori closed her eyes before and didn't want to look at it, and she shouldn't have seen Cynthia's murderous scene either.

But it's just that the little Lori who was protected by him didn't see it.,Other people's words.......

Merlin looked at the other people around her, the head maid naturally didn't need to look at it much, this little thing was not worth mentioning in her opinion, Merlin mainly looked at Cinderella and Diana's father and daughter.

Sure enough, Cinderella's face was a little ugly, and she looked like she couldn't spit it out, while Diana on the other side looked similar, but her father Hudson looked as usual, and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with Cynthia's handling.

Well, it is worthy of being a successful big businessman, and sure enough, there are few excellent capitalists in vain.

Merlin sighed in his heart.

However, in fact, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Cynthia's treatment, the only thing that made her dissatisfied was that Cynthia did it in front of several children, this kind of picture is not suitable for children, okay, why don't you put an illusion to cover it up.

But after taking a closer look, Merlin suddenly felt that his state was a little wrong, it stands to reason that he would be a little uncomfortable when he saw this kind of scene of gouging his eyes on the spot in a dead house living in peacetime, and no matter how calm he was, he should be at the same level as Cinderella and them.

And now, Merlin reached out and touched his chest, he didn't even have a reaction like a rapid heartbeat, and his heart didn't fluctuate at all about this bloody scene that was inappropriate for children.

"Well, it's the heart of the demon king."

Feeling the familiar heartbeat in his chest, Merlin sighed inwardly and knew why.

Even if his current mind is still a person, but the heart of the demon king in his body has made him out of the category of human beings at the biological level, just like the cubs of lions and tigers will not feel cruel when they see hunting, for a demon, such a little bit of blood is really not qualified to make him have any physiological reactions.

On the other hand, for Merlin's reproach, this time Cynthia did not smile perfunctorily as before, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her expression became serious.

"Brother, you are the only one who will harm them again, the reality is not as beautiful as the family that you liked to play with my sister when you were a child, brother."

Cynthia not only did not use illusions to cover up the bloody hole in the poor fish-man's face, but instead snapped her fingers, causing Cinderella and Diana's faces to rise again, forcing them to look directly at the scene.

"Originally, I just wanted to go shopping and buy something happily today, but since the ready-made teaching materials have been delivered to the door, as a teacher, I am naturally obliged to teach you two things."

Not at all as casual as a joke when she took on her apprentices before, Cynthia behaved like a truly notorious witch, just as Merlin had seen in the memories of the original owner.

Beneath the bewitching and beautiful exterior was a deadly threat like an abyss, just looking at her smiling face was enough to make people's hairs stand on end, as if the heart was being pinched by an invisible hand, and the body was dominated by an unspeakable fear.

"The world is not as beautiful as it is in your bedtime stories, and if you still want to join the mysteries, then forget all the rules you have encountered in your previous lives."

"There is only one prohibition that cannot be violated on this side of mystery, and that is secrecy, and we can have no taboos beyond that."

"Even if you just walk down the street and someone looks at you more, and you kill him, that's allowed, as long as you're secretive enough not to be discovered."

"It's like this nominally forbidden city in the sky, in fact, as long as you do enough secrecy to make the other party have no strength to struggle, and don't cause a riot and attract attention, then everything after that will be tacitly approved."

"There is no law here, there is no justice, only the law of the jungle under the rules, as if I could have taken Cinderella's eyes like I do now, or I could have treated you like this dead fish and made you my servants without Diana and your father and daughter noticing, and willingly offered me all your possessions."

"This is the cruel and real reality of this world."

Every word of Cynthia's words seemed to be imprinted into the hearts of the immobile Cinderella and Diana, and with the two different bloody holes, this scene was enough to make these two young girls unforgettable for life.

Merlin also frowned at this, he opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.

Because what Cynthia said is true.

This seemingly dreamy fairy-tale world is indeed so cold-blooded and twisted in its bones, and if you want to mix well on the mysterious side, you must be extremely clear about this.

He had long known this from the memory of the original owner, but he had never taken it seriously.
