━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the quiet of the morning, in the courtyard surrounded by a thin milky white mist, all kinds of snoring and cries come and go according to their own unique rhythm, maintaining a fragile balance between serenity and noise. But suddenly, the fragile balance was broken, and a high-decibel snort suddenly sounded in the original dull snoring, and then the snoring and shouting quickly stopped one after another, and instantly evolved into all kinds of cries filling this small and simple courtyard.

Surrounded by Pokémon who suddenly woke up, Merlin, the initiator, looked at his companions with a little embarrassment and guilt. The painful snort just now came out of him, because it was the time to get up normally, so Merlin, who couldn't go against the biological clock, opened his eyes very consciously, but because of the exhaustion caused by too much ability yesterday, a series of adverse reactions such as body aches and soreness exploded at the moment when he opened his eyes and took over the control of the body, which caught him off guard and moaned very happily, and then naturally woke up his partners and provoked strong onlookers.

"Guys, how about going back to sleep?" Gradually adjusting to the discomfort of his body, Merlin forced himself to sit up and said to his friends, "Take a good rest and we'll set off......

Just as he was talking, at the instigation of Nightingale, Frog shook the bud on his back and walked up to Merlin, and very skillfully lowered his body and rose his buttocks, so that the center of the bud was straight towards Merlin.

Such a familiar movement made Merlin have a very bad premonition, "I said, I've ......"

But he was deprived of even the right to continue talking, because at the moment when he opened his mouth, Frog twisted his waist and shook his buttocks, and a small ball of accurate sleep powder shot out of the flower bud and hit Merlin's face accurately.

......As the "black hand" behind the scenes, Wizier crossed his arms and watched Merlin be repositioned by Nightingale and covered with a quilt, and triumphantly expressed his victory speech to him.

It's just that Merlin, who is asleep, has no way to respond and protest against this.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"I said......" Mr. Zang frowned and pursed the corners of his mouth as he looked at Merlin and his party who were eating Hese in the courtyard, and asked in an unkind tone: "I remember that I sued you yesterday and told you to get out of here early this morning!" He glanced up at the foggy sky, "It should be noon, right?" Is it your comprehension problem or does your sense of time need proofreading? I'm really curious......"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, snorr......" Merlin, whose mouth was full of food, muttered as if it were a foreign slurred language in response to the old man's question.

"Don't talk when you have something in your mouth, don't you know the most basic etiquette?" The old man looked a little angry, and his face was not very friendly.

Merlin hurriedly chewed his mouth full of food with great effort, picked up the soup bowl and sent all the food in his mouth into his stomach with difficulty with a large mouthful of soup before he gasped and said to Mr. Zang nonchalantly: "Didn't Mr. Zang say not to stick to etiquette? ”

The old man glared, and his long gray eyebrows throbbed dangerously with the stirring of his brow muscles.

"I'm so hungry that I didn't eat dinner yesterday and didn't eat anything this morning......" Merlin hurriedly straightened his attitude and explained in a panic.

The old man glared at him fiercely again, snorted coldly, but sat straight beside Merlin, and very consciously picked up a piece of snack from the small table in front of Merlin and threw it into his mouth. Merlin hurriedly threw down his chopsticks and began to wait for the old man to come, first rearing the dishes on the small table, and then specially finding a tea set to prepare his favorite matcha for the old man.

"Count, you've been with me for more than half a year, haven't you? It's really not a short time...... "After eating a few pieces of dim sum and sandwiching a few side dishes, the old gentleman raised the large porcelain teacup and took a sip of the bitter matcha made by Merlin, raised his face and stared at Merlin who was carefully serving him with eyes that were a little cloudy but with a hint of brilliance.

Merlin was slightly stunned, so he had to nod his head, "Indeed." ”

"The situation outside is very different now than it was when you stumbled into my territory." Mr. Zang continued to bow his head and taste the tea, "Half a year is too long, enough to give birth to too many things." ”

Merlin frowned, and he could hear the heaviness and weakness in the old man's tone.

"You have spent half a year in isolation with me, but I don't know how many things have happened outside, in Guandu, and in Guancheng, and how many appalling big things have happened......" Mr. Zhuang drank all the matcha in one gulp, "Guandu, the world has already been turned upside down......"

Merlin gasped hard when he heard this.

Although he did completely lose all contact with the outside world during this period of time, and completely became blind and deaf in a sense, he really couldn't believe that the situation in the outside world would get out of control, because he knew that the alliance had a lot of hidden hands that were enough to stabilize the situation, and he also understood that the so-called ideal country and the rocket legion were nothing more than scabies for the alliance, although it may be a little painful and troublesome to deal with, but it would definitely not let the alliance overturn or get out of control of the situation. However, Mr. Zang, the meaning revealed in the words of this old guy from the highest level of the alliance is that the alliance has gradually lost its complete control of the situation in Guancheng, or at least the Guandu area, and may even be at a disadvantage.

Merlin couldn't help but concentrate on listening to the old man's next chatter.

"During this period of time, the revived Ideal Country and the sudden appearance of the Rocket Legion have surfaced one after another, jumping out of the dark corners where they originally lived, recklessly waving their sharp minions on the stage, cruelly and forcefully leaving bloody scars on the Alliance...... "Mr. Zang raised his head and looked at the foggy sky behind Merlin, "First the Ideal Country, in the past six months, they have come to the stage again and began to fight head-on with the Alliance. The notorious Big Four have once again gathered together and directly participated in or indirectly directed a number of terrorist/terrorist/attacked/attacked/sabotaged and sabotaged activities against the alliance itself, local towns or related organizations, and innocent civilians, although the alliance has also made enough efforts to thwart some of these evil plans and terrorist actions, but the undeniable truth is cruel, that is, Guandu has once again been pulled into a dangerous and dark situation by these madmen. The fanatics and evil parties who have once again rallied together for the sake of the so-called 'ideals' that have been tainted with sin will once again drag the whole world into the abyss of death and chaos......"

"The new four giants of the Ideal Kingdom each led their own troops to carry out frequent raids, not only raiding the alliance's gyms and attacking the alliance's important facilities and locations many times, but also fighting fierce battles with the elite troops sent by the alliance to respond and rescue many times. Not only that, but the young man named 'Holy Son', one of the Big Four, had also fought Wataru at the foot of the Quartz Plateau...... Oh, by the way, I think you seem to have lived through the 'dead leaf incident' last August, right? ”

Merlin nodded. He still occasionally thinks back to the crimson sea and sand, and the stumps and severed arms that float in them......

"Well, this young, arrogant and powerful 'dragon rider' recently admitted to the public that he was responsible for the attack by kidnapping the television signal and threatened to bloody all the coastal towns. And it turned out that he really did. Since then, he has repeatedly led a large number of dragon legions under his control and the thugs of the Ideal Country to which he belongs to attack large coastal towns from both sea and air, causing great damage and casualties. For this reason, Wataru himself pursued him and intercepted him at the foot of the Quartz Plateau, where the two engaged in a quick encounter, and although in the end it was Wataru who was slightly better and inflicted heavy damage on the Holy Son, but unfortunately he escaped! Not all the work! The old man told the story indignantly, "In addition to this so-called bullshit saint, there is another giant who is very noteworthy, her name is 'Ice Hime', she is a person who is very good at using ice, her frost is only slightly inferior to Kona, and her ability is very powerful, although it is far less than Nazi, but it is far more powerful than you. However, at the end of last year, she had fought Kona, during which she was created by Kona, so she was silent for a while, but just recently she seems to have started to come out again. In addition to these two bigwigs who are in the limelight, the remaining two are relatively low-key. The remnants of the old Ideal Country, known as the Poison Woman, rarely appear in public, and I suspect that this old witch is plotting something even more sinister. And the fool who called the king of power was severely repaired by Chiyo, who had just taken over the throne of the king, and it became a stepping stone for her to establish her prestige and reputation......"

"The new Heavenly King?" Merlin was shocked, why did there be another Heavenly King in just half a year? Although Mr. Du has always held the position of supreme and heavenly king, the highest combat power in the Guandu region has always been lacking. However, even if the alliance urgently needs new high-end combat power to join due to the tight war, it can also find talents from other high-level special grades that have long been famous to enrich the ranks of the Heavenly King, how can it use a newcomer that Merlin has never heard of at all for no reason?

"Well, in order to deal with the situation, the alliance has promoted a new Heavenly King, and he has confirmed the supreme position and relinquished the throne of the Heavenly King. Well, this thing was probably born when you first came...... "Mr. Zang recalled, "Although this Chiyo was not famous before, he is now a very popular, powerful and widely recognized king of heaven by the public and the alliance, and his popularity has even surpassed the little girl in Kona at a certain time." ”

[Chiyo? Merlin quickly flipped through his memories of various trainers, but he couldn't find a strong person who could correspond to this name. His heart was full of doubts, so he had to hold back his curiosity and questions for the time being, and write down this question for the time being, and then slowly decrypt it later.

In addition to the more and more ferocious Ideal Country, the Rocket Legion, which had been dormant in the shadows and doing some dirty things, finally couldn't bear the loneliness and took advantage of the opportunity of the melee between the Alliance and the Ideal Country to officially step onto the stage, making the original ideal of catching and fighting against the Alliance into a three-way melee. However, as soon as they took the stage, they made extraordinary moves, and at the beginning, they gave the alliance a big gift through a series of multi-point battles - they occupied Moonsee Mountain at one time, suppressed Rainbow, and infiltrated several important cities of the alliance such as asters and dead leaves...... The sheer size of the army really scared and shocked even an old man. The expression on Mr. Zang's face was completely different from the words on his lips, and he seemed to be very disdainful of the Rocket Corps with a bit of sarcasm. A ragtag army composed of ruffians, hooligans, gangsters, and so-called people in the extreme path dare to shout at the alliance in person?! It's just some poaching, poaching, and smuggling bastards who dare to ......" The old man smashed the coarse porcelain teacup in his hand into the small table, and smashed the bamboo and wood table to pieces, and the broken porcelain pieces, broken bamboo and wood, and the sundries on the table flew everywhere for a while, and the small courtyard suddenly became chaotic.

Merlin, who was also affected, didn't bother to clean up himself, first he was busy cleaning up the messy scene, and then comforting his frightened partners, and after treating the wounds of several partners who were accidentally injured, Merlin cleaned up his appearance, and then returned to Mr. Zang, who was still angry, and continued to listen to his teachings with a bitter face.

Perhaps because he was a little regretful or embarrassed by the consequences of his sudden temper, the old gentleman obviously calmed down after a few more complaints against the Rocket Legion, and continued to mutter: "Although the situation outside is tense now, things have not completely escaped the control of the alliance, don't you think I, an old man, are still enjoying my old age here?" That's the best proof of that......" he boasted to Merlin.

[Are you out of the horse? If you really go out, then I'm afraid it will be the eve of the complete collapse of the Guandu Alliance......] Merlin followed in his stomach.

However, such a chaotic outside world is not completely without good news, and in addition to the pain, there will always be some gains and unexpected joys in the turbulent situation. Especially among the young people who are active in the turbulent times, there are many excellent seedlings. For example, a few teenagers from Zhenxin Town made me very optimistic, and to paraphrase some of the media's hypes - 'alliance star', 'Guandu hope' - although a bit exaggerated, it is also part of the truth. With such three good children, Xue Cheng, that little ghost, probably wakes up laughing when he sleeps......"

A flash of brilliance suddenly flashed on Merlin's face, [True New Town? Xue Cheng? He winked mischievously.

"Let's take the two juniors of the Damu family. One is Xuecheng's cousin Sun Lu, with his handsome appearance, outstanding talent and strong strength, he conquered nearly half of the dojos in Guandu in most of the half a year after his trip, and basically won all the badges of the four or five branch halls in Guandu, and was called a 'genius' by many people......"

[Half? All? This Midori is really ......] Merlin's eyes reappeared in front of Midori and his Flying Mantis, and the exact same expression of unwillingness they had shown after they were defeated by Merlin. Soon, however, they looked at Merlin with a grim expression, as if wondering if Merlin was qualified to be their opponent again.

"And then there's Xuecheng's grandson Mao, which is a little inferior, but it's also excellent compared to the teenagers in the same period. This boy with a large number of followers - although they are all brainless girls - traveled around the Guandu, although the badge is not too outstanding, but the quantity and quality of Pokémon are not bad, especially the record and reputation are also very good......"

[It's really Shigeru's style, with a cheerleader 'traveling' around the Guandu ......] Shigeru, who always has a cynical and arrogant demeanor, seems to be smiling at him in front of Merlin's eyes, and this little ghost is showing off his female companion to him, showing off the Pokémon he has subdued. Merlin remembered that the imp seemed to be talking about subduing all the Pokémon in the world.

"And the most famous is not the relatives of Damu, not these juniors with good family backgrounds, but the red from Zhenxin Town, who was born as an orphan. Listen to the names he earned, 'Yaksha', 'Ghost of Battle'...... Any one of them is a well-known name, and they are all real achievements! And this kid has dared to confront the Rocket Corps head-on since his debut, not afraid of rape, not afraid of threats, and justice everywhere. As he travels, he confronts the villains of the Rocket Legion and the madmen of the Imaginary Nation, and most of the towns he passes through leave behind his heroic stories and deeds. He is definitely a role model for young people and a good boy of the Alliance! ”

......Merlin once again remembered the boy who always had a warm smile and liked to rub his nose with the back of his fingers, the guy who was always full of enthusiasm and courage. Somehow, when he thought of Chi, a picture flashed in Merlin's mind again - in the middle of a white world, standing on the top of a mountain peak that seemed to be able to touch the clouds, Chi Zheng, who had grown a lot, stood alone in a white and looked down on the earth, looking a little lonely and disappointed...... This picture Merlin had seen in a trance when he was in Zhenxin Town, but this time it was exceptionally clear and profound. This made Merlin a little confused for a moment. Having never had the experience of predicting the future, he never connected this picture with the "future" at all.

"However, just a few months ago, this outstanding young man was invited to fight in front of the public by the giants of the ideal country, and he has not been heard from until now...... I heard that Oki has sent another teenager to find the ...... for the sake of this most outstanding offspring."

Merlin didn't listen carefully to the old man's next words, he was completely stunned by the news that he was gone.

"You mean, Chi, Chi, he's missing?" Struggling to sort out his words, Merlin directly interrupted the old man's chatter.

"Well, it's been a few months since I disappeared. According to the information we have so far, I'm afraid it's a lot of murder......" Mr. Zhuang nodded and replied casually, suddenly he squinted his eyes and looked at Merlin, and asked, "What, do you know this Chi?" ”

"I used to visit Shinshin Town during my previous trips, and when I visited Dr. Ohki's research institute, I spent some time with the four Shinshin Towns who were about to go on a trip at that time, and I know the green, Shigeru, and red that you talked about, as well as the wisdom I didn't mention......" The more he spoke, the more his tone became heavier, and the more he spoke, the darker his face became, and Merlin was clearly in a state of sadness.

Merlin witnessed the fierce confrontation between the Ideal Country, the Rocket Legion, and the Alliance in Hualan City, and experienced first-hand the brutal atrocities of the Holy Son's attack on Dead Leaf Harbor...... As a forced witness, he has unwillingly witnessed the sudden loss and disappearance of many fresh lives. Although he also felt sorry for the innocent dead, felt sorry for the dead, and condemned from the bottom of his heart the fanatics and madmen who wantonly inflicted atrocities, he never felt so directly uncomfortable and sad as he did now. This is only because Chi is someone he knows, just because of this slightly cold-blooded reason.

Merlin didn't know if he was the only one — shocked by the carnages recorded in ancient texts, angry at the atrocities recorded by modern technology, saddened by the calamities mentioned in the news, lost in the tragedies he heard, silent in mourning for the suffering around him, and saddened by the loss of life he witnessed...... But none of these can really touch his softest place, and they can't really shock him, it seems that he will only be truly alert when his loved ones or acquaintances are about to face hardships or even death. It was as if the first time he really felt the weight of life was when he learned that his grandfather was terminally ill and was about to die, not earlier in the Orley region, even though he had already witnessed and experienced the bloodiest life-and-death struggle at that time.

Just like now, Merlin didn't think that the turmoil in the Guandu area would be too serious until he knew that Chi had disappeared and was likely to be harmed by the Ideal State, although he would be a little worried about the turbulent situation for his own safety, and a little worried about the suffering and misery that innocent people would fall into or had already fallen into. But he is more struggling with how to protect himself, or how to plan for the interests of his big family that may exist in the future in response to this situation. There will be no accusations about why there are wars, why there are battles, and there will never be complaints about when the situation is so turbulent...... But just after hearing the news that Chi was likely to be killed, Merlin felt for the first time that this chaotic world was too bad, and that this stupid war was too damned.

Biting her lip tightly, Merlin, who was in a complicated mood, was speechless for a while.

And Mr. Zang also stopped chattering, he first glanced at the small table that he had destroyed by himself and the matcha, snacks, and side dishes that were scattered all over the ground, pouted and shook his head with pity, and then very casually crossed his legs and shook his body lazily waiting for Merlin to come out by himself.

[Hey, isn't it just a little ghost who has only met a few times and gotten along for a few days, as for it? ] Wizil is also enlightening the confused Merlin in his own way, [Besides, it's not that he hasn't decided whether he is dead or not. Is it useful for you to observe silence so early? 】

Merlin, who was pondering, was interrupted by Wizel's words, although he was still a little sad but somewhat refreshed, he quibbled: "I'm not just worried about Chi's safety, to be honest, I have a lot of confidence in him, I think he should be able to escape this catastrophe before ......]

【Tsk~~】Wizil was exaggerated.

Merlin, whose attention had been successfully diverted by Wizil, began to think about other questions: [Now I am even more skeptical of Mr. Zang's intention in saying these words? Why did he tell me these things before I left? It is simply to keep me from being out of touch with the outside world, so that I can pay attention to and be prepared for the chaos and turmoil of the outside world. Or is there something else going on? Merlin, whose head was quickly flushed, still had that tangled look on his face, in fact, his current expression still fit his thoughts that still seemed a little chaotic, but Merlin was already worried about other problems after being interrupted by Vizl.

[Alliance, Ideal Country, Rocket Legion......] quickly recalled the old man's words, and at the same time quickly flipped through his previous memories and observations, Merlin in the process of combing quickly seemed to grasp something important.

Merlin, who seemed to have figured it out, couldn't help but want to hook the corners of his mouth, but at the moment when the corners of his mouth were just raised, he forcibly suppressed the smile and continued to pretend to be confused, lost and entangled.

"Hey, don't think about it." Seeing that Merlin didn't seem to have anything to gain from it, Mr. Zhuang stood up impatiently, first walked over and patted Merlin on the shoulder to call him back to reality, and then continued: "I don't tell you about these situations to scare you or make you sad, I just want to remind you that if you want to survive in such turbulent times, you need to hug your thighs and stand in the right team." After saying this, the old man walked away, and when he came to the moon gate, he stopped and turned back and said: "Maybe it won't be long before the alliance can make use of your talent, I look forward to a good cooperation between us and deepen and solid......ify this cooperation," the old gentleman glanced at Merlin meaningfully, and then strode away from Merlin's sight.

It was only when the figure of the old man completely disappeared that Merlin relaxed the suppression of the corners of his mouth and the smile, and wantonly let the corners of his mouth rise proudly to reveal a large and exaggerated smile. For the first time in such a long time, he touched the pulse of the old man, and this harvest made Merlin happy and excited, but after the joy and excitement, Merlin's face quickly gloomy.

[It seems that the Golden Zodiac Pavilion has been infiltrated by the alliance not lightly......] Merlin, who rubbed the belly of his upper lip with the tip of his left index finger, fell into confusion again.

[Is it going to be a cooperation in this area?] Wizil asked, "I heard the old fellow mean that he wants to use your talent for ancient writing?" 】

[It's both,] Merlin replied simply, "Mr. Zang is playing a little game with me." 】

Standing up neatly, he looked around at his friends who had already eaten and drunk, "It's time to come out." He moved his neck, raised his head and locked his gaze into the depths of the thick fog on the horizon, his eyes under the thick lenses seemed to be dancing with some kind of fiery emotion.
