Merlin spent three days in the Mystery House, where he kept an eye on Elsa's transformation.

However, due to the complexity of Elsa's physical condition, this girl's transformation and mutation process will take longer than that of other witchers, and judging from the current progress, her transformation speed is less than one-tenth of that of Coulson and Gatler.

At this rate, it could take a month, or even longer, for Elsa to complete the transformation.

But the good news is that Lady Bloodstone's guess is correct, the cold power in Elsa's body has not stopped the mutant potion from catalyzing and reshaping Miss Bloodstone's body, on the contrary, the cold power has been protecting Elsa during this painful transformation.

It's a good thing, the consciousness is frozen in the spirit, and she doesn't feel the terrible pain that accompanies the physical changes, which makes Elsa's mind almost untouched by the terrible pain.

And Lady Bloodstone also lives in the Mystery House, her presence is not a bad thing, at least she will help Merlin take care of the two little girls, Raven and Lorna also like Lady Bloodstone, they call her Aunt Vanessa, and often after dinner, follow Lady Bloodstone, listen to the story of the past.

She is a true witcher who has lived for almost 200 years, and the adventures she has experienced are truly personal, especially the story of her adventures with the young Master Ulysses.

Of course, Merlin isn't the only one who needs attention in the mystery house.

Two days earlier, Xuanlan had told him something else, and Merlin had learned that there was another guest sleeping in the room on the second floor of the Mystery House.

Miss Zatana Zatara, the "Magician", traces her father with the pages of the Dark Divine Book, but most likely asks some questions that shouldn't be asked, causing her to be stunned by the power of will.

She hadn't been able to recover until a day earlier, but she hadn't regained her mobility and had to be cared for by someone else.

"Smack"

Merlin pushed open the door, and he walked into the room with this lunch, and in front of him, Miss Zatanna, whose face was so pale that she was almost bloodless, was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a magic book in her hand, reading it attentively.

This made Merlin feel a little ashamed.

Compared to the hardworking and talented Zatanna, he did relax in his attitude towards learning magic during this period, of course, this is also because there are too many things that have happened during this period.

"Lady Vanessa made fish soup, and she told me to send you one."

Merlin placed the fragrant lunch in his hand on the table at Zatanna's hand, and he said:

"How are you feeling today? Is it better? ”

"I'm recovering, don't worry, Mr. Merlin."

Zatanna was a little nervous when she saw Merlin, she still clearly remembered the request given to her by the Dark God Book, although it was not a necessary option, but when it came into contact with Merlin, the young magician lady still had some subconscious resistance.

She tried hard to hide her inner situation, and said to Merlin in a very calm tone:

"I might be able to regain my strength by midnight today, and then I'll leave on my own, and you don't need to worry about me."

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded, he didn't feel anything unusual, and he said:

"Xuanlan will send you wherever you want to go, but my advice is, don't act yet."

"Huh?"

Picking up her lunch, Zatana, who picked up the spoon, looked at Merlin suspiciously, who sat down on the chair beside the bed, and said to Miss Magician:

"You must have gotten some information from the Dark Book"

"Well, yes, I got it"

Zatanna tried to tell Merlin about the spirit, but was stopped by Merlin waving his hand:

"No, don't tell me, it's your family affair and I have no intention of interfering."

He said:

"I mean, whatever information you get from that book, whether it's about your father, it's about your bloodline, it's important to you, but that doesn't mean you have to act right away."

"Just by looking unconscious, you can see how tricky the opponent you have to face. Reckless action is not a good thing in such a situation. ”

Merlin Says:

"You should wait, you are still young, there is still a lot of time, there is still more potential to be untapped, and it is not too late to act until you are as strong as your father, or even surpass him."

"Of course, if you need help with anything, I'll do my best to help."

Merlin joked:

"Just don't let me face that horrible spirit."

Hearing Merlin's persuasion, Zatanna was a little indifferent for a moment, and after a while, the beautiful girl, who had a kind of lovely feeling even when she was sick, replied softly:

"You are a kind and warm man, Mr. Merlin."

"Your advice is pertinent, and I will take it, and in fact, I have no intention of saving my poor father at once. On the one hand, it was because I couldn't, and on the other hand, that piece of paper also gave me a warning. ”

She took a sip of the soup, put down the bowl, and then took the parchment from the book at hand, handed it to Merlin, and said:

"I've got the information I need, it's time for me to give it back to you, Mr. Merlin, this piece of paper is invaluable in the wizarding world, and if you can, don't tell anyone else you have it, it will cause you unnecessary trouble."

"Nope."

Merlin shook his head, and he said to Zatana:

"We agreed that you would keep the pages for a month, as I was paid for taking your ancestral mystery house. From what I know about this piece of paper, as long as you use it properly, it will bring you a lot of benefits, about magic, about knowledge, and so on. ”

"An agreement is an agreement, and it must be executed according to the agreement."

He said:

"In a month's time, you can give it back to me."

"Okay."

Seeing Merlin's indifferent refusal, Zatanna no longer insisted, she put the parchment back into the folder of the magic book, and began to enjoy her lunch in peace.

Merlin took the golden pocket watch from his pocket, looked down at the time, and said to Zatana:

"I'm going to check on Elsa's condition, so I won't bother you."

With that, he stood up and left.

"Mr. Merlin."

Zatana's voice sounded behind Merlin, who turned his head and looked at Zatanna suspiciously:

"Anything else?"

"Can I invite you here tonight and tonight?"

Zatanna felt the roots of her ears burn, and she quickly found a reason, and then stammered a little:

"I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you some questions about magic, those obscure occult knowledge."

"At night?"

Merlin frowned.

Raven should have fallen asleep at night, without Raven's help, he, the "occult master", would probably be exposed by Zatanna as soon as he opened his mouth. But after thinking for a moment, Merlin nodded, and said to Zatana:

"Then I'll come over at nine o'clock tonight, after dinner."

"Hmm."

Zatana, who had lowered her head to hide the flush of her cheeks, responded with a few moments later, when she heard Merlin push the door open, she sighed, put down the bowl in her hand, and took out the parchment again.

She looked at the parchment, and she said:

"Are you satisfied?"

There was no response from the parchment.

It's normal, it's just a piece of paper, and when there's no problem, it's no different from any other paper.

Merlin walked down the stairs and into the room on the first floor, where Lady Bloodstone was standing in front of the silver bio pod, she looked at her daughter in the pod, her face a little worried.

"Elsa will be fine, ma'am."

Merlin whispered:

"She's an optimistic and strong person, and she'll get through it."

"It's a lot easier to pat someone on the shoulder and tell someone that everything is going to be okay than it is to face the harsh reality, Mr. Merlin."

Lady Bloodstone said in a cold tone:

"But we can't always run away from reality, my daughter is going through some kind of change and we don't know if it's good or bad. It was a blow to me, and after my husband's disappearance, I was once again at risk of losing my daughter, and maybe I should have been so desperate to bring her back to France from New York. ”

"She's going to lose her freedom, but it's better than she is now."

Merlin couldn't refute Lady Bloodstone's claims, and he could only stay quietly by Lady Bloodstone's side, looking at his friends lying in the biological pod.

Merlin didn't worry about Elsa when she was alive and kicking around her, probably because when Elsa appeared in Merlin's life a few years ago, she had maintained a stronger image than ordinary people.

She has fought vampires with Merlin and has been serving as a mystical advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., all the while doing her duty.

In Merlin's mind, Elsa is a trustworthy subordinate, a friend who is very independent and protective enough, and a very optimistic girl who makes people want to be close.

She also helps Merlin take care of Raven and Lorna, and even helps Merlin clean up her room, and occasionally cooks a few weird-tasting meals.

It all seemed ordinary, but it wasn't until Elsa suddenly collapsed that Merlin suddenly realized that she had occupied a very important place in her life.

No other woman but Carol could give him that familiar feeling.

As for Carol's memory, it is more of a man's obsessive impression of the first woman in his life, compared to the fleeting relationship with Carol, Elsa is more like a moisturizing thing, in the passage of time, she has left a special impression in Merlin's heart that only belongs to her.

"I'll take care of Elsa."

After a long silence, Merlin suddenly said:

"No matter what kind of person she becomes when she wakes up, I will take care of her."

"These words"

Lady Bloodstone, who was a passerover, sighed with some regret:

"You should have told her earlier. Merlin, I'm not angry that my daughter is in danger, there are always dangers in a witcher's life. What I really feel dissatisfied with is that you take my daughter's dedication to you for granted."

She looked back at Merlin with a hint of sternness in her eyes:

"I heard Raven say, you have a past that I can't let go of, people like you, your past will definitely not be simple, and I don't force you to be with my daughter, this kind of thing is not necessary for witchers who can live for hundreds of years, but I hope that no matter what you think, no matter what you are going to do, you should give Elsa an explanation."

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded.

"She didn't have many friends since she was a child."

Lady Bloodstone glanced back at her daughter, and she said:

"After hearing your story from the two girls, I was a little surprised, in my memory, my daughter has never been so close to another man, alas, and as a result, one of you didn't say it, the other didn't ask, it just dragged on, you young people, it's really"

Merlin was a little embarrassed, he wasn't one to discuss his private life with others.

He could only remain silent, listening to Lady Bloodstone's nagging.

After a few minutes, Lady Bloodstone moved her shoulders and arms, and she said to Merlin:

"I'm going back to the manor, my precious flowers will wither if I don't take care of them, and my friends are waiting for me to watch the opera together and the life I have, this stupid girl will be handed over to you."

Pointing to the two swords beside her, she said to Merlin:

"I'll take the steel sword, I'm a witcher after all, and I need a sword at hand. I have left the silver sword to my daughter, and when she has awakened, you will give her the sword for me. ”

"That sword was given to me by her grandfather on the wedding day of me and Ulysses, that sword is an ancient sword that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it is called 'Agiviel', it is said to have something to do with the White Wolf Master, it is a symbolic weapon, let Elsa use it well."

"Well, I'll do it."

Merlin made a promise to Lady Bloodstone, who looked at Merlin with the same eyes that a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, which made Merlin extremely stressed.

And after sending off Lady Bloodstone, Merlin was truly relieved.

As a result, he turned around and saw a cold-looking Raven sitting on the sofa in the mystery house, wiping a war knife that was taller than herself with a handkerchief, which was cold and shiny, and had a strange smell of blood.

"What is this? Where did you find it? ”

Merlin walked up to his sister, and he asked curiously, but Raven didn't look at him, and wiped her weapon over and over again, and said:

"It was given to me by Vanessa, and she likes me too, just like Elsa."

"Why did she give you a knife?"

Merlin Says:

"It's not like a gift for a child."

"It's called Alice."

Raven flicked the blade of the knife with her fingers, and she said:

"Once held by a powerful demi-demon, this knife has a consciousness of its own, and it will help its master in battle. It's perfect for me, and it's going to go with me to hell! Vanessa told me that I needed such a weapon to win my freedom. ”

"Okay."

Merlin glanced at the blood that was pulsing on the blade, and said:

"One more thing, Zatanna invited me to her tonight, she wants to ask me for some occult knowledge"

Before Merlin could finish his words, the sharp blade was on his neck, and Raven stared at him expressionlessly, and said:

"I don't like Zatana, I like Elsa more"

"Hey, be careful."

Merlin pointed his finger at Alice's eerie humming blade, pushing the bloodthirsty blade away from his neck, and said:

"Don't think about it, it's just a discussion of pure magical knowledge, I need your help, Raven, and you don't want me to show your stuff, do you?"

"Okay, I'll help you."

Raven withdrew the knife with some difficulty, and she said:

"But I'll keep an eye on you, Merlin! You've made a commitment to Elsa."

"I don't want my brother to be a scumbag who goes around mercilessly!"

"The world of adults is complicated, Raven."

Merlin sighed, he reached out and touched Raven's head, and he said:

"Especially in the case of feelings, you can't force it, and your intervention will make things very troublesome. Anyway, let's wait until Elsa wakes up, okay? ”

Raven stared at Merlin, and after a moment, her gaze moved down, and she said:

"It's not normal for your woman to be really good, but Elsa is a good person."

"You'd better be restrained, if you dare to hurt her, I'll cut it off with my own hands."
