305. Weakness

Since Lilith's identity was not an issue, Merlin had nothing to worry about, and the two closed the door and left the treehouse together, and began to tour the seventh carriage city that belonged to Cynthia.

It's just that Merlin looked at the succubus girl beside him with some curiosity, and at this time Lilith was still carrying a somewhat bulging handbag, and she didn't know what was in it.

"Do you want to eat, young master?"

Seeing Merlin's curious gaze, Lilith reached out and took a candy out of the bag and asked him.

"Uh, what are you doing with so much sugar?"

Merlin reached out to take the candy, opened the icing casually, and found that it was still his favorite chocolate candy, and decisively threw it into his mouth, while enjoying the sweetness of the mouthful, he asked with some doubts.

"These are the candies I usually make myself, and I'm going to take them with me for a while."

Lilith opened the tote bag and showed Merlin the candy inside, and then said softly, the succubus girl had a smile in her eyes when she mentioned the children.

She seems to like the appearance of children.

"Kids? Are there any children here? ”

Merlin looked around in some surprise.

Because of Cynthia, the owner of salted fish, although the seventh carriage city has the reputation of the seven major cities of Estate, compared to the other six cities that are full of shops, customers gathered, and prosperous, this seventh carriage city seems to be very deserted.

Cynthia didn't open this carriage city to the outside world at all, after she got this territory, she just planted a seedling of the World Tree, and used the power of the World Tree to give birth to this lush primeval forest, and used it as the residence of the Witch's House, and she didn't do anything else.

Well, there is nothing to develop commerce, agriculture, tourism or anything, not to mention all kinds of infrastructure to entertain outsiders, this seventh-carriage city is really just a largely undeveloped primeval forest and some witches living in treehouses.

When he was sitting in the heavenly carriage and overlooking the entire seventh carriage city from the sky, Merlin asked Cynthia why she had such a good territory but didn't make good use of it, but the idler's sister told him that he was too lazy to move, saying that it was better to find a few dragons to communicate with the money quickly if he had that development time.

Merlin didn't believe this reason, after all, others didn't know, but his younger brother knew the fact that Cynthia, the famous witch of calamity, was actually poor.

Although Cynthia was already very wide in the eyes of other ordinary wizards, her little wealth compared to her fellow sages was the gap between beggars and riches.

If she wasn't really poor, how could Cynthia make every birthday present she gave Merlin herself? The only one wasn't her own hand-rubbed gift, the Serpent's Staff, which was also a garbage seal that the Templars disposed of cheaply.

In fact, this unscrupulous old lady has more than once hit the idea into Merlin's royal treasury, she thinks of various ways every day to get money from Merlin, the really rich and rival country's rich brother, but it is a pity that the economic power in the castle is in the hands of the chief maid, Merlin is easy to deceive, but the head maid who has no feelings is not easy to fool.

No matter how cunning Cynthia is like a fox and has a bad stomach, she can't do anything in the face of the head maid who doesn't listen to her at all, and draws her sword directly when she talks too much.

This poor ghost woman, who is like her brother's wool, would give up the cornucopia of the seventh carriage city for such a ridiculous reason as she is too lazy to exploit it, whether others believe it or not, Merlin doesn't believe it anyway.

And under his questioning, Cynthia told the truth.

This seventh carriage city and the position of the sage are actually chains used by the wizarding association to bind Cynthia, who was once the biggest terrorist on the mysterious side, because the reason why Cynthia was terrible before being recruited was because she had been a loner, and she didn't have any property or anything under her name.

And once she really starts to build a city and develop a faction, then she will lose the freedom she once had, and she will be bound by those things outside her body, and she will have an extra weakness for no reason.

................

"Brother, if it weren't for your weakness, I wouldn't have been able to take revenge on my father, and now my situation is the same as my father's, I am invincible in the human world without restraints, but once I have something to care about, then I am just a powerful sage."

At that time, Cynthia looked at Merlin with complicated eyes and said this.

Obviously, she is a little worried that she will end up with the two brave fathers of the two in the future, she took advantage of her father's weakness to ascend to the throne, and naturally she is extremely jealous of whether someone will use the same means to step on her in the future.

Merlin didn't have much to say about that reason.

Indeed, once you have a weakness that can be manipulated by others, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be invincible.

"But brother, if you want to develop it, you can develop it, and your sister's little assets will be handed over to you to take care of, whether it's a faction or a territory, you can manage it for me."

Merlin was no longer ready to mention it, but Cynthia changed her mind.

"Eh, sister, didn't you say you don't want to be bound?"

Merlin asked in surprise, wondering why this sister had changed her mind again.

"My stupid brother, I already have one more weakness now, and I don't care about another one."

The half-elf witch looked at Merlin when she said this, and the smile on her face was surprisingly real, like a sister who really doted on her brother.

Merlin was indeed touched at the time, and he still remembers how he felt when his face was red and his face felt as if he was on fire.

It's a pity that it is a dream to expect Cynthia, a ghost woman, to be sensational, and this wicked witch was unscrupulous when she saw Merlin's shy appearance and smiled.

"Hahaha, brother, you won't really believe it, no, no, do you really think that your sister will be pinched because of you little ghost, it doesn't exist, sister, although I love you, but I love myself more, I will at most avenge you after you are torn up, no more.

Tut-tut, said okay brother, you come to attack my sister and mine, but you were almost attacked by me, it's really innocent, brother, you still have a lot to learn, men are not bad, but girls don't like it......"

So, at that time, the beautiful atmosphere of sister and brother love was destroyed by the rampant laughter of this ghost woman, and the angry Merlin pulled out the staff of the snake on the spot and turned it into a staff and slashed at this unscrupulous sister, but unfortunately a spark with lightning attack finally failed to break the defense.

This ghost woman's permanent defensive forbidden spell is as hard as a turtle shell, and it is really too difficult to resist.

............

The total number of members of the Witch's House is less than fifty, and the treehouses where everyone lives are all close together, forming a small village, so it is quite easy to look around.

Merlin soon saw the children that Lilith was talking about, the place where these young witches lived was the largest house in the village, Lilith walked over with Merlin, pushed the door open, and saw a whole copper mine......

Phew, it's a group of cute little Lori.
