Early in the morning, the mist lifts.

The clouds in the sky were languid and idle, stained red in the demonic sun.

"Hah-" Sheldon yawned and covered his eyes with two fingers, the sun still glaring.

Merlin beside him was still asleep.

It's been a month, and as a person who quit the Merlin Sect, he is still taking care of the little guy next to him.

He didn't need a cradle anymore, and according to the doctors, he shouldn't have even been given a cradle in the first place.

Merlin is now fully able to carry out basic daily conversations, and his body is like a rubber pinch, inexplicably taller by several centimeters.

The long hair on top of his head seemed to hang down to his shoulders along with his height.

After a month, he had finally seen Merlin's cleverness.

It's even a little scary.

As long as he is taught something, he can learn it almost immediately, of course, only extremely rudimentary knowledge.

Needless to say, he had learned to count and know what they meant.

He's only a year old now......

Don't forget, he has two souls in his body, and the nightmare soul perfectly acts as Merlin's "tutor", as long as the child does not understand, this "teacher" will help him explain what is and what is with an unhappy face.

Of course, it makes sense.

Perhaps because the two souls became one, subconsciously, the nightmare itself vaguely sensed each other's thoughts.

Now, Nightmares have a name, too.

His name was "Merlin" and the child's name was "Marquez."

The combined name of the two became "Merlin Márquez".

Because it's so convenient, so that the two of them can't tell who is who, so the nightmare accepts it silently.

As for why the nightmare is called "Merlin......

He didn't know it himself, but he always felt a sense of pride?

Perhaps, this is also the cleverness of Márquez......

What Merlin stands for, speaks for itself.

Today's breakfast is still toast bread with a cup of coffee with milk.

Merlin's food hasn't changed, it's milk.

After a few moments, Sheldon was thinking about giving him something non-liquid.

"Daddy......"

"What's wrong? Merlin? ”

"Why do you call me Marin outside? Is my name Marlin? Merlin's big eyes shone with a watery light.

"Ah......" Sheldon's eyes didn't dare to look at each other, "Well...... Of course, your name is Merlin, but on the outside, I still can't be wrong to call you Marlin. But remember, no matter how many times people call you Marlin, you're still called Merlin. ”

"Why?"

"For the sake of ...... Hehe......"

Sheldon laughed and didn't continue.

"What?" Merlin raised his eyebrows and purred.

"For Merlin's sake, that is, for yourself."

"Humph!" Merlin still didn't understand, so he had to knock on the table to stop.

Soon, the two of them had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, one big and one small, Sheldon pushed the door, Merlin broke through the door, and stepped into the bright sunshine outside the door.

It seems like today is a little different.

Sheldon looked out at the mountains not far away, in the direction of Merlin's Sanctuary.

No, nothing.

"It's weird......" he muttered.

I thought that the World Tree Barrier would last for a while, but it disappeared so quickly!

What does this indicate......

Did they find a way out? Or something else?

He still can't act rashly.

"Good morning, Mr. Sheldon!" Little Russell came running on time and rubbed Merlin's broken hair affectionately, "This is today's newspaper!" ”

"Thank you." Sheldon pulled two copper coins out of his bosom and stuffed them into Russell's hand.

"Thank you!"

He hurriedly grabbed the edge of the newspaper, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and quickly swept across the front page.

Misunderstanding? Or is it a conspiracy? Or - Charlie Plan! 》

"Charlie's plan?" Sheldon's brows suddenly furrowed, "Merlin actually made peace with Charlie?" How so? It's not always ......"

He looked down at Merlin, who was looking at him suspiciously, with mixed feelings.

The headline was only printed with a photo of the two sides shaking hands, and there was no way to see the looks of both parties.

It's familiar.

It was Cheney, the black-and-white Cheney, who was still the cherry blossom beauty in his memory.

"Oh......" his heart tugged.

Ban, it's still okay, isn't it?

Sheldon leaned over slightly, but finally shook his head, letting Merlin follow him.

"Marquez, your 'dad' has something on his mind right now." In Merlin's sea of knowledge, Nightmare Merlin's tone was a little smiling.

"Really? Oh......" Márquez didn't care, "so what? ”

"Of course, not very well." Merlin laughed.

......

Merlin Sanctuary.

Quiet, extremely quiet.

Even the original birdsong between the trees has retracted into the hollow of the tree.

The iron horsemen stood arrogantly below the seat of the Elders, and the armor wrapped in demonic patterns spewed out scorching breath through the cracks.

"King Charlie." Cheney was sitting across from the man, the corners of his mouth not moving in the slightest, "Thank you very much for your forgiveness. ”

"Huh...... We're going to leave Fregra alone. Charlie's smile is natural, but there is also a hint of sharpness.

There is now only one man and one woman in the Presbyterian Church.

Just as you think, but don't think crookedly, the other people are just hiding somewhere else, and now the only person who dares to negotiate with Charlie is Cheney in front of him.

"So, how is the Merlin project going?"

Cheney snapped his fingers, and a magical barrier spread out above the two of them, floating silently in the air.

It's all packed with procedures! It's something that all warlocks strive for, even dream of!

"This is our current transformation technique for the spiritualization of the human body, and of course, it is only part of it." Cheney deliberately blurred the specific details of the magic pattern, so as not to allow the King Charles to plagiarize openly, "Obviously, this technique has not yet been perfected, if you rashly use it on people, the chance of success is very certain, it is 〇." ”

Charlie didn't seem to have a recorded mind, and casually crossed Erlang's legs, as if the picture in front of him was a work of art.

"Such a huge technique...... I think it's more than one person. Charlie said.

"This is a group of spells that can encompass the entire Yaris, with the blessing of the magic power of the 'Primordial Rune', it should be possible, but it ...... The means are not yet mature, and our efforts for thousands of years are to make up for what is left behind by the Tree of Life, and the 'Merlin Project' is our means. ”

Charlie pretended to nod his head, and the kind smile on his face made Cheney's heart a little flustered.

"Well, you're doing a great job." "I believe that the death of my dear brother was nothing more than a farce," he said. ”

"Ugh!" Cheney's heart suddenly hung up, why could this man in front of him say such chilling words so easily!

"I am willing to approve the establishment of the 'Merlin Plan'."

"Is that true?" Cheney was bewildered by the sudden response.

"Indeed." Charlie chuckled, clasped his hands together, and propped up his head, "Brother is indeed too conservative sometimes. ”

"We may need some human experimentation." Cheney's voice trembled a little, "Of course, we'll figure it out ourselves, and we'll be able to figure it out by ourselves." ”

She was snatching the initiative for Merlin's next position.

"Well, after all, that's not what you did before?"

When Cheney heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of why.

"But," Charlie's finger tapped on the table, "may I give me a suggestion?" ”

"You say."

"It's a little too boring."

"How?"

Charlie's tone, I don't know the depth.

"Why don't you let me be your 'test subject' too?"

"You don't have to—"

"Of course, the name of the 'Merlin Project' can't be made public." He didn't pause in the slightest and just continued.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a huge concern for your safety—"

"I'm sure you won't, will you?"

"Hmm......" Cheney's eyes drifted to one place, and she swallowed.

For some reason, a few words led me into a corner.

"You should know what I think of the future of Yaris...... And that's not all...... Hehe......" Charlie continued to speak slowly, "or I wouldn't have come to you myself." ”

"That'...... So be it. ”

She had nowhere to run, and neither did the Merlin.

The barrier of the World Tree has finally disappeared, and what will be their fate......

"I wondered, could I try to add another one to my body?"

Charlie looked at the three thin golden lines swirling in his palms and muttered casually.

"You'll help me out, won't you?"

It's a, greedy grab and vexatious affair.

and the cries of the ignorant.
