Sheldon and Merlin stayed in the mercenary assembly quarters for several days after their return, never going out. Because Merlin has been in a coma for some time. As a father, he could not leave his son alone.

Merlin ended up in a coma for four and a half days, and when he woke up, Sheldon was writing letters on his desk in his room. His head was still aching, and his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of blood, and after a few muffled breaths, the unacceptable smell would come to his nostrils. At the same time, a long-dormant hunger pang surged from all over his body.

It's not just hunger and thirst on the physical plane, it's hunger and thirst for the soul, it's hunger and thirst for the flesh. He was in desperate need of mana and, of course, desperate for energy. His eyes couldn't help but turn blue-purple characteristic of runic creatures, and everything in front of him melted into a block of magic that was both light and extinguished. And in the direction of Sheldon, it was a raging magical flame that made him want to step forward and devour it!

"Hmm...... Not! Merlin's eyes widened, and he jumped up from the bed with a bang, and his mouth kept flowing with crystal saliva, and he couldn't stop wanting to come forward and bite!

Sheldon turned his head and saw that Merlin had just woken up, and the natural smile on his face suddenly interrupted: "You...... You're awake......"

His...... His eyes ...... What the hell is going on? That blue-purple ...... I always feel that it is not a human being who looks at me, but a gluttony who has coveted all of his whole for a long time.

Merlin slapped his head sharply, the camouflage in his eyes gradually dimmed, he tried to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his wrist, and said weakly, "I'm so hungry...... Yes, you want to eat......"

Almost a little, his body will reflexively pounce on it, rip off the flesh of his "father's" neck, drink the blood in it, and taste the warm magic in it. If he hadn't controlled his body in time before he could make a move, it would have been too late.

"You, what's the matter with you?" Sheldon said, "Is there something wrong with it?" ”

"I want to eat...... "Merlin pressed his head, wiping his saliva again and again, his voice bursting like foam, "I want to eat...... I want to drink water......"

Merlin clearly had a problem. Sheldon immediately sent someone to bring food and water, and while accompanying him to eat, he wiped his mouth with a warm towel from time to time. On several occasions, when the boy had eaten so fast, Sheldon tapped him on the back to keep him from choking. It is also normal to be in a coma for so long, and the body is weak and hungry.

But Sheldon never forgot his blue-purple eyes, which were so aggressive at that moment that it seemed like he was about to devour himself one bite at a time. If there is any reason why Merlin became like this, it must be closely related to the divine blood of Paradise Lost. The divine blood in it has the power of time, and it is unknown whether Merlin's body will be changed because of this.

Actually, it's not an unknown anymore. Merlin had grown taller again, comparable to a seven- or eight-year-old child. You know, when he picked up Merlin, he was only as big as a few apples, but he didn't expect that just two or three years later, he had become like this. He is also more precocious than the average child, not even a star.

According to his current size, it is completely possible to put Merlin among eight or nine-year-old children without any disobedience, as long as he allows Merlin to receive basic preschool education, he will definitely be able to go to school after that. Sheldon also had this idea, but after such a thing, he planned to wait another year to take care of the child's body before he dared to let him go to school.

When the time comes, you should also ask your own teacher...... It's not your business...... It's time for him to make a decision.

Before that, it was necessary for him to take Merlin to the Merlin Sanctuary for a full physical examination. He dared to pack the ticket, this boy's body was definitely more than a star and a half different from before.

They immediately hired a carriage to go to Merlin Sanctuary, and after passing the level, they were once again in front of the First Sanctuary. The magic tower was unchanged from before, green moss mixed in with crooked weeds, spoking on the surface of brick by brick.

Now that Cheney had been transferred to the Senate and was unable to get to Sheldon's side in time, he asked an unknown teacher to help Merlin check his condition.

"Dad, since this is the Merlin Sect, a place that focuses on learning, there must be a lot of books, right?" Merlin had become very fond of reading under Sheldon's tutelage, "Can you let me read it?" ”

"Maybe." Sheldon shrugged his shoulders as he flipped through Merlin's test report and said, "I can go and ask the staff here." In another year, you'll also get a wand that's your own. ”

"Really?" Merlin's eyes sparkled, "Can it have the same effect as your wand?" ”

"It's definitely more effective than my wand can achieve." Sheldon smiled and said, "In my heart, you are the smartest and most talented little boy in the world." No one can compare to you. ”

Sure enough, Merlin's body changed dramatically in an instant. The concentration of rune magic in his blood had increased a full twelve, even greater than the effect that he had on him by absorbing an entire [Primordial Rune] before. What was even more surprising was that the little boy's physical fitness had completely exceeded the limits that ordinary humans could reach, and even the orcs, with their rough skin and thick flesh, were three points inferior to him in terms of sturdiness.

Sheldon was puzzled, what was it that caused him to change so dramatically overnight? There are even more anomalies in the data, Merlin's metabolism is dozens of times faster than before, and if this continues, his body will grow exponentially......

This anomaly made Sheldon very worried, and if he could not wait for Merlin to be hollowed out of his soul at the age of sixteen as a so-called "perfect vessel", he would collapse due to his own physical problems. After reading the reports, he repeatedly asked Merlin if he felt anything uncomfortable, but received a negative response.

That's just one step at a time...... Merlin's height is simply a mystery, it is simply not the degree of seedlings fueled, but like mushrooms after a rain, it is rising one by one. In the days that followed, he had to keep an eye on Merlin's condition......

A thought popped into his mind, was this anomaly related to the blue-purple glow in his eyes when he woke up earlier? If that's the case, is it because the nightmare absorbed at an early age is born at this time...... It's possible.

Runic creatures were inherently arrogant and cruel in his mind, if the nightmare in his body gradually eroded Merlin's heart...... What will it be like then?

He shuddered at the thought of a generation of Merlin who had swallowed up an entire city. That ruined city is now the Orc Special Zone, Shura. It is precisely because most humans are reluctant to settle here that there is a place for orcs.

Sheldon then asked the instructor if there were any books for Merlin to borrow, and the other party was initially unhappy, but after Merlin's repeated demands and Sheldon's insistence, a small study was finally opened to them, and they could borrow and take them at will, without even having to return them.

All the notes stored in this study are the handwritings of the previous Merlin, even though most of Merlin did not have the habit of writing notes, but in so many terms, he finally accumulated some posthumous manuscripts. Of course, most of the useful content has been torn away, leaving only blank books that have no meaning, or are talking to themselves, or simply have nothing written about.

On the bookshelf in front of the two of them was only a row of old-looking codexes, which took up less than a fifth of the capacity.

Sheldon sighed secretly, it seemed that he had finally left the Merlin Sect deacon. He is obviously still raising such a promising child, which is the hope of the Merlin Sect.
