When Lois had already left for a spell, Merlin finished the half bottle of red wine, staggered to his feet, picked up his coat, and walked out of the courtyard.

The cold night breeze slapped on his face, blowing away a bit of his drunkenness.

Compared with usual, Gudris is still brightly lit, but there are many fewer people on the streets, and you can see a lot of adventurer-looking guys hurrying with weapons, and in order to support the Dragon's Tooth Town Magician Association, they have also made a lot of money, and professionals above the third order can teleport over for free.

Merlin was not interested in paying attention to this kind of thing, he stretched out his hand and tried to stop a carriage, but after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, no empty carriage stopped, and the owner of the car apologized to tell him that all the carriages had been temporarily requisitioned by the army to transport grain and grass materials, and even many nobles had donated their own private carriages to help those who were relocated.

Merlin scolded a few words, but continued to walk honestly.

He wandered around for about half a magic when he felt that both of his legs were about to be broken, and then he came to the door of his favorite smoked sausage shop, only to see the closed sign on the door.

A young man was cleaning inside, and when he saw Merlin, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this guest, my father shouted that he wanted to improve the food for the troops, so he ran to join the army, and I will also go to the militia to report in two days, so I'm afraid the sausage shop will be closed for a while." ”

Merlin was furious, "Your dad is sick, and those idiots can't even make the difference between seven or fourteen days of smoke." ”

The young man's face darkened when he heard this, he put down the mop in his hand, and said in a dark color, "What do you mean by that?"

Merlin saw that the situation was not good, and immediately coaxed, and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just think your father is a bit wasteful to go...... That talent, in fact, opening a smoked sausage shop can also help many poor people, such as me. Merlin pointed to his nose.

"You've drunk too much. The young man shook his head and continued to pick up the mop, ignoring anyone on the side.

Merlin slipped away from the smoked sausage shop in a gray manner, and went to the tavern next to him to buy a bottle of soju and put it in his arms.

When he walked out the door, he saw two guard-like people stop in front of him, one of whom took off his helmet on his head, revealing his blonde hair, and smiled.

- Mr. Merlin, the originator of the magician, the only immortal in the world, has long admired the great name. ”

Although there was no expression on the fox mask, the blonde guard could still feel that his words did make waves in the other party's heart, Merlin's hidden power was all over the Dawn Continent, but his base camp was in Guderis, which was also the place he had controlled and operated for the longest time.

All the people who came here, every move was under his eyelids, he was like a player holding a child outside the chessboard, quietly manipulating everything on the chessboard, but the two uninvited guests who appeared in front of him at this time were obviously not among them.

Merlin raised an eyebrow, "What do you call it?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's who I represent. The blonde guard chuckled, "Dear Lord Merlin, someone wants to talk to you. ”

"That's interesting, do you want me to call you Little Representative?" said the fox masked man with a straight face.

"Call me Hilton if you like, though I haven't used that name for a long time. The blonde guard was polite, and it was evident from his demeanor that he had previously received a good aristocratic education.

"Well, well, Mr. Hilton, after some deliberation, I have decided to decline your request. Merlin pouted as he carried the soju, "If there's nothing else you can do." ”

Hilton's companion snorted coldly when he heard this, "We invited you just out of politeness, do you really think you have the ability to refuse?"

"Since you have done a lot of research on me, you should know how cautious I am, how can a person like me who is afraid of death really go out on the street to buy smoked sausages alone. After Merlin said this, the drunkenness on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a sneering smile, "I heard that there have been more little mice in Gudris's little water theory recently, and I have to come out to welcome them as the master." ”

Hilton's expression changed dramatically, and he noticed that a group of archers suddenly appeared on the rooftops around him, and the arrows on the longbow were pointed at the two men.

Merlin stepped forward and helped Hilton straighten his collar, "You see, this story teaches us never to underestimate your opponent, especially when you're on each other's turf. ”

A cold sweat broke out on Hilton's neck, but he still managed to calm down, "Please forgive us for being rude, but please also believe that we really have no ill will towards you, just like I said before We just want to ask you to have a face-to-face chat with our host, it is only good for you and no harm." ”

Merlin shook his head, "I'm just an inconsequential outsider, why do you all have to keep an eye on me, shouldn't you worry more about the guy named Rob in the north than me, his growth rate is so fast that I can't believe it, or the anti-bone boys of the Holy Alliance, it's better to go and see Vannar V, I heard that he is about to find the elves' long-lost artifact Olgad." ”

Hilton barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "But my master believes that the only variable in humanity falls on you." ”

"You think too much of me. Merlin said lazily, waving his hand, and the group of archers on the roof bent down again and disappeared into the night, "Go back and tell your master, whatever he has plans, stay away from Guderis, and let me see you next time, it won't be so polite." ”

After saying that, Merlin didn't care about the reaction of the two, and swaggered away, leaving the frightened Hilton and his companion standing in place, the latter said anxiously, "What should we do, we haven't been able to complete what the master has told us, do we want to find a way to keep up with him and find another chance to get in touch?"

Hilton shook his head, "We've already made a mistake, underestimate him once, don't underestimate him a second time, Guderies is his territory, if he doesn't want to see us, we don't have a chance at all." After speaking, the blonde guard paused, and his tone softened slightly, "But we are not without gains, since he knew that we were here, he did not kill us directly, but came to meet us, which in itself can already say a lot of things." ”

"So we're going to keep fighting for him?"

"Remember, Elmo, you can't get someone like Merlin, we can only give him options and try to make him as happy as possible, and in the end it is always up to him to decide what to choose.
