Merlin still had a sense of oppression from the blood of the gods in his spirit, and his head was throbbing. But he can't make a painful appearance because it will attract the attention of the people around him. He came back in such a hurry that he couldn't make a detailed plan, so he had to follow the original trajectory of time and keep the whole thing running normally, while carefully planning to reach the desired endgame.

Anthony still talked to Sheldon about his problems, and according to the original plan, he should be sent to William's casino, and then sit on the "top of the mountain" with the "legendary gambling star" and wait for the gamblers to come.

"First of all, we need to figure out what it's all about coming back here after so much trouble." Seeing that there was still some time, Nightmare Merlin discussed the next countermeasures with Marquez, "Is it to change history?" Or just save Sheldon? Or do you take God's blood for yourself? Assuming that there are three goals, then the effort to achieve them must be different. ”

Márquez didn't seem to be as thoughtful as Merlin, and when he said this, he began to think about it: "If it's just to save Sheldon, just secretly ask him to use the transfer technique." But the problem is, without Sheldon, the man with the gloves will surely turn Paradise Lost upside down again. And if the divine blood is exposed again, it will cause all kinds of trouble. ”

"That's right," Nightmare continued, "you're right, just saving Sheldon doesn't solve the root problem. My recommendation is to keep this divine blood as your own, because the power contained in the divine blood is about the same as the power of the [Didamour Pupil], and it may even be supplemented, if we absorb this divine blood, the power of time that we can use should be greatly improved. Of course, that guy's power is too strange for the blood not to be revealed, unless we can kill him before he even sets foot in Paradise Lost......"

"That's too hard, isn't it...... So many people want this divine blood...... "Márquez said aggrievedly, "it's not just the man who wants the divine blood, even Laurent wants it." What's more—"

Merlin picked up Marquez's words and continued: "-Yes, it's too difficult for us to get the divine blood ourselves, but it's easier for others to get the divine blood. You'll see what happened...... Damn, it's back to square one now, and there's no way to check back then. ”

"How about giving Laurent access to divine blood and helping him make a time machine?" Marquez suggested.

"It's up to you to decide. If we're going to help Laurent build a time machine, we have to find this guy first, there's no point in staying in a casino, it's just a waste of time. "Anthony will first take us to the door of the casino, and as for what to do next, you know very well." ”

Everything was going according to the plan, and Merlin couldn't remember what he was doing before, but he still got through the original course of history in a slight panic.

Little Merlin and Anthony walked side by side, and the fat man said something he had already heard: "A long time ago, I also met a little girl in the town. She was about your age at the time. ”

How did you come back at that time? He couldn't remember it well......

"Uh...... Oh. Merlin was stunned for a moment, and if he didn't answer, it would cause the other party to question.

Every little thing has the potential to change the course of history, and the huge avalanche may have been caused by a stone, perhaps too much tension, and Merlin has changed his image in Anthony's eyes.

"Don't be so trembling, I won't eat you again." Anthony laughed, and his laughter could be heard far away on the street where he was alone.

He immediately echoed the scene of Anthony lying in a pool of blood, and he couldn't help but shudder. This behavior reached Anthony's eyes, but it gave him a new idea: this child is very timid.

"Be bold, right, let me tell you, the next person to protect you is in the casino, and a lot of people have died inside!" Anthony raised an eyebrow, "So, you're going to have to change your cringe." ”

Who cowered...... I didn't fail to see how miserable you died at that time!

If you can't talk normally, there is a real possibility that something will go wrong. Merlin let out a soft sigh through his nose, reversed his previous hesitation and timidity, and said, "Well, I'll try to overcome it." ”

After all that, I finally ran to the door of the casino. Merlin was worried that this guy would not dare to go in, so he personally sent himself to William. Fortunately, this incident finally didn't happen, but I was nagged a few more words such as "don't be afraid", "it's just a casino", and something like "that man looks good, and he's not very fierce".

Finally sent the fat man away, Merlin was still at the door of the casino, and the thief looked to see if he had left, and after a while, he cautiously slipped out. The streets were deserted, there was nothing, and the doors of all the shops were tightly locked, and the doors were covered with very thick sand, and it looked like they hadn't been open for a long time. Merlin only now realizes that it is the day before Paradise Lost opens, and Laurent has not come......

Now I am like a lonely ghost, wandering in the streets.

"Silly......" In the little boy's soul space, Merlin's tone was a little teasing, "If you don't want to enter the casino, this is the only way." It's just a day of hunger outside, isn't it? Now Sheldon should be in training, and returning to find him will probably be spotted by the fat man. ”

"So you have to eat and sleep outside...... Márquez suddenly remembered Sheldon's kindness to him, "I suddenly found that I couldn't do without my 'father', haha." ”

He hadn't been hungry once in years, and his demands were met as much as he could, and Sheldon was always the first to stand in front of him in critical situations, sheltering himself from the wind and rain. Perhaps, this man loves himself with all his heart. Merlin dragged his increasingly heavy footsteps and swayed slowly down the street.

Before he knew it, he had walked into the depths of Paradise Lost, to the real core shopping street area inside.

"Anyone?" Merlin rubbed his eyes, and he could clearly see an old man waving at him in front of him. He was on crutches, his clothes were clean, and his legs and feet didn't look very neat.

Merlin didn't go far, but the old man came to him in three or two steps. He narrowed his eyes, and a deep chrysanthemum bloomed on his wrinkled face: "Oh! What a handsome child! Not bad, that's good! ”

"Hmm....." Before Merlin could react, the old man stretched out one of his hands, which was not holding a cane, bent down, and began to stroke his head.

"What a handsome embryo! He must be very handsome when he grows up, and his magic looks very good! The old man seemed to be identifying a gemstone, "Little friend, what is the wind that has brought you here?" ”

"I ...... My dad works here, and Mr. Anthony told me to do it myself. A white flower suddenly appeared in Merlin's soul space, "I don't know where to go, so I'll ......"

"Haha, is that so?" The old man smiled happily, "I'm the one who runs a shop here, mainly dealing in stone carvings, if it's not too dirty, you can come in and sit." ”

It seems that I am still very lucky, but I didn't expect to meet people in this situation......

"Yes...... Really? Merlin didn't see what the old man was courting him for, but he had better not be too vigilant until he realized something was wrong. Children at this age don't have so much scheming to speak of.

"I like children like you, and I met a little girl as cute as you before." The old man giggled innocently, took Merlin's hand, and came to his dusty roller shutter door, and opened the halfpipe with a loud noise, shaking off the dust all over the ground.

"You go in first, I'll clean the dust outside." The old man smiled and pushed Merlin into the house, and just wanted to take out a broom from the house, but found that a door opened behind him, and a man walked out from inside.

It's Sheldon! How did he come here all of a sudden!

The old man looked at the other man in surprise, and then turned back to look at Merlin, who was also stunned. The little boy immediately pointed to his mouth with both fingers, made a mouth shape of "he is my father", and stretched his hands forward, his wrists kept shaking from side to side, shaking his head at the same time, not wanting him to find out what he looked like.

If Sheldon were to run into him now, things would definitely go bad...... He'll probably be caught in the casino. Merlin hurriedly jumped to the counter in three or two steps, although he was covered in dust, but there was nothing he could do.

Whoa—

The roller shutter door was immediately opened, and the light suddenly illuminated the small stone carving shop covered with a layer of gray.

Merlin secretly hid behind the counter, completely covering up his existence with the power of nightmares, only to hear the kind voice of the old man behind him: "Thank you, I didn't expect to be able to see such a kind young man the day before." However, as a substitute for punishment, you can't be as kind as you are now. Kill when you should kill, cut when you should chop, don't have too many restraints. ”
