Shadow of the Beautiful World

The mysterious house is as quiet as usual today, and Xuanlan, the owner of the place, has recently become obsessed with a new game.

Icarus, the Goddess of Mechanics, made an exquisite body for her good friend. After Zatanna, the magician lady, helped to seal the runes, it could carry the spirit body.

The spiritual body housekeeper who was bound in the mysterious house got some freedom, and she became obsessed with exploring new worlds.

Uh, to put it simply, the housekeeper and Zatanna went shopping again.

They will come back in about 2 days, bringing back some weird souvenirs by the way.

Carol took her daughter on a trip to Xandar.

Hill took his son back to his hometown.

Elsa was with her parents at the Bloodstone estate in Marseille.

Lord Raven's prophecy came true back then, and before his and Elsa's child was born, the good news came from his father-in-law and mother-in-law instead.

If nothing else, Elsa will have a younger sister in 7 months.

For the bloodstone family with a small population, this is great news.

The wives had all left, and Lord Raven was lonely again.

But that's okay.

He also has a lover.

Merlin is never alone.

At 5:55 in the morning, Merlin woke up from sleep on time. He rubbed his forehead, and had another dream last night.

Calling it a dream is somewhat inappropriate.

That should be the projection of the stars. In his dream, he saw the thriving stars in the universe, and in the short rest of a few hours, he traveled around the entire stars in the way of will.

He even saw a scene where Farmer Thanos and Death met intimately in the Kingdom of God in a corner of the edge of the universe. To be honest, the scene was really horrifying.

But the stars are very calm.

Although in some remote corners, there were some minor conflicts between the refugees from other worlds and the natives, but on a large scale, this group of stars was like the vanilla era of singing birds and flowers.

There is a harmonious landscape everywhere.

Merlin got off the bed gently and got dressed.

He looked back at Lingdie, who was sleeping soundly. The two of them relived the past last night. At first they just drank and chatted, but while chatting, some wonderful things happened.

Meilin is quite satisfied with the peachy memories, and it's good to relive the passion of his youth once in a while.

Especially in the absence of other wives, the spirit butterfly who sneaked up to meet is also enough to let go...

Well, these things will not be mentioned.

There is still important work to do today.

Merlin ordered the ghost servant to prepare breakfast for the spirit butterfly, while he wore loose pajamas and came to the alchemy room of the mysterious house. The alchemy table was already full of various materials.

Some were taken from this world, some were collected by the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield in time, and a small part was bought in the main universe.

There is also the last part, which is presented by new friends.

The wizard in a happy mood moved his fingers, looking for what he needed among the piled materials.

The scales of the Millennium Time Dragon are of good quality... Grinding.

Merlin threw a dragon scale spinning like quicksand into the grinder, and the stone pestle began to move by itself, grinding the dragon scale containing the power of time into powder.

He picked up another small yellow bag, opened it and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.

Dream sand stolen from the Sandman. It's very fresh... filtered and crystallized.

A small bag of dream sand is thrown into the cauldron, and the flame automatically ignites.

The last is the carrier, Zhenjin... no, it lacks the affinity of energy.

Merlin's fingers searched on the alchemy table. He picked out several materials in succession, but they were all unsatisfied. In the end, his eyes fell on a piece of material like white jade.

Substitute...well, just use this.

Raven looked at the jade in front of his eyes, and he was very satisfied with the glimmer of light emitted from the chalcedony.

This is a piece of material from the magical world. It is said to be the core of an earth elemental lord. It is strong enough and can carry various types of energy.

Accompanied by a sword cry, Judas the Blade jumped out of the space happily, and circled around his master twice like a submissive dog.

Cut it open.

Merlin gave an order.

Judas immediately jumped up, like a saw, and began to cut hard on the palm-sized chalcedony.

As the materials were being prepared, Merlin turned around and looked at the blackboard behind him.

It is full of complicated and obscure alchemy processes. Judging from the rules of rune writing and the final results, Raven, who has nothing to do, should make several gadgets with different functions.

It looks like jewelry, but it also looks like a magical creation with unknown function.

He stood in front of the blackboard, rubbing his chin, his eyes reflecting the stars were full of thoughts.

Behind him, those instruments were operating uncontrollably, and various processed materials were either burned or cooled, emitting various strange lights and smells. These things were intertwined to form a very strange atmosphere.

Combined with the screeching sound of Judas cutting chalcedony, the place looked like a mad wizard's laboratory.

But Merlin turned a deaf ear.

As a magician, he was used to such scenes.

However, these magic gadgets that are being manufactured are not for Merlin, it's just Lord Raven processing orders.

An annoying guy asked him for these things, and Merlin couldn't refuse because of the human relationship network he had just built in the main universe.

What he is thinking about now is not how to complete this order. The ultimate understanding of magic allows Merlin to easily complete these demanding strange things.

What he's thinking about is...

What the hell is that guy going to do with these things.

But after much deliberation, there was no answer. After a few minutes, Merlin looked back and found that all the materials were almost finished.

Go and ask in person.

Raven began to cast magic, and he said to himself amidst the magical power gathered by the stars:

Tonight is a good opportunity.

Ten minutes later, after completing the order, Merlin walked out of the alchemy room, and saw Psylocke in pajamas eating breakfast on the sofa in the hall.

She seemed to have not woken up, she was in a daze, her hair was messed up, compared with the heroic state of the past, she was a little less sharp and more gentle.

Why don't you just move here?

Merlin was sitting on the sofa opposite Lingdie. He picked up tea at a suitable temperature and said to the female mercenary:

It's not a problem that we are always sneaking around like this. It's not like they don't know about your existence.

Tch, I'm not as shy as your other wives.

Lingdie raised her head and looked at Merlin, she said:

Besides, I still have things to do.

Well, whatever you want.

Raven was not angry either, he slowly pointed to the room on the second floor, and said:

Anyway, there is a house for you here. When you are tired and tired of the life of running around, we will welcome you to settle down here.

I can wait forever, time has no meaning for me, and for you, I have always been very patient.

Merlin put down the teacup, he stretched out his hand in a gentle tone, and helped Lingdie wipe the cake residue from the corner of Lingdie's mouth, and then his fingers followed Lingdie's smooth cheeks all the way down, and stopped on the delicate chin.

He gently lifted the head of the spirit butterfly, and when his eyes met, he said in an unquestionable voice:

Elizabeth, you cannot escape from my grasp.

Let go!

Lingdie's cheeks were slightly red, she pushed Merlin's fingers away, then stood up angrily, and walked up the stairs amidst Merlin's laughter.

She stood at the railing on the second floor, looked back at Merlin who was still sitting on the sofa, gritted her teeth and said:

Come up!

Huh? What are you going to do?

Merlin looked up at the awkward female mercenary, who clenched her fists and screamed:

If you are told to come up, you will come up, why ask so many questions?

Raven disappeared in place, and walked out from behind Lingdie quietly. He put his arms around her slender waist and asked softly:

Still not admitting defeat, right?

I want a baby!

Lingdie turned around and looked at Merlin, she said:

They all have it, why don't I have it?

you sure?

Merlin looked at Psylocke, he said:

This is not a general requirement, you have to understand, it's like a brand, once you put it on, you...

At this point, do I still have a choice?

Spirit Butterfly interrupted Merlin's voice. She took Raven's hand and walked to her room. She said:

I resisted, I failed, and I was completely defeated in front of you. As the winner, you can naturally have everything I have and give me any orders...

I hate losing.

But I don't hate you, put away your triumphant smile, and remember to send someone to help me move tomorrow.

I'm in a bad mood, so, Lord Raven, it's up to you to serve me...

----------------

The edge of the Raven universe.

The flames burning in the furnace of the world also emit light and heat here, illuminating such a star.

But here is a truly barren land. When the stars were remodeled, 7,200 sectors finally survived until the restart was completed, but there were only more than 200.

Most of the civilizations in this universe still died before dawn.

The rebooted universe is being rejuvenated, the civilizations that were shaped to be real are thriving, and on a cosmic scale, new life is being born in the Burning Age.

Raven generously opened the stars again, allowing refugees from other worlds to enter this universe.

Like the prelude to the era of great pioneering, the entire still barren stars are already full of restless vitality.

A pool of moonlight is struggling to cross the edge of the stars. It is like the manifestation of some kind of power. It has been traveling in the multiverse for too long, and it is very tired.

Little by little, it squeezed into the stars of Raven, and gathered at the edge of the universe, just like a probe that was thrown out, it spread its own light all over the star field.

Searching bit by bit, as if looking for something.

It has scoured many worlds.

But all failed.

But fate is destined to gain something in this strange raven universe, and soon, the scattered moonlight will reunite, wrapping a trace of ice-cold in that light.

That's what it's looking for.

Moonlight is very happy.

It stayed at the edge of the universe, sending this message out to the stars, and soon, more moonlight gathered from all corners of the multiverse, and they gently crossed the edge of the stars, and reunited in the Raven universe.

In the veil of moonlight and starlight, a slender and tall girl with long silver hair appeared in a veil cloak.

She was wearing a long dress with a strange style, and there was a round of bright moon emblem on her forehead. She looked at the thriving stars in front of her, took a deep breath, and stepped forward with delicate feet, ready to travel here.

But just as she took the first step, the raven's voice sounded behind her.

It's not very good for this foreign god...to sneak into other people's houses without knocking on the door.

The girl turned around.

She looked at the raven standing behind her with scrutiny.

She quickly understood that the man in front of her was the symbolic incarnation of the stars, and in her world, this man was already called a Titan of the stars.

No, his existence is more complicated.

At least in the range of this group of stars, his strength has been raised to an unrivaled level. He is more like the founder of this group of stars, stronger than the Titans of the Pantheon.

And from Merlin, she felt a familiar aura.

With my missing father...

Very similar breath.

Hello, the incarnation of stars.

She hesitated for a moment, and then said in a voice as warm as a bird's chirping:

I don't want to break the rules of the stars you set, I'm just... just looking for someone who has appeared in your world.

The girl raised her hand and showed Merlin what was held in her jade-like fingers.

It was a chill.

The language she spoke was not one of the languages ​​Merlin knew.

But it was also a language that Merlin was very familiar with. In Raven's memory, Tyrion Dawnblade would occasionally speak such a language.

Merlin stretched out his hand to shake the cold air in the gentle girl's palm, and he could tell at a glance that this was the last trace of Tyrion Dawnblade in the Raven universe.

He looked at the harmless-looking girl in front of him who was immersed in the moonlight, and asked:

What's your relationship with Tyrion?

Um!

When she heard that name, the girl who had always been calm raised her head suddenly, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes like the bright moon. She put her hands on her heart and asked happily:

Sure enough, you have seen my father. Is he okay now? Where is he? I have been looking for him for too long...

Huh? Tyrion's daughter?

Merlin looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, he could feel her excitement.

And that weird feeling that doesn't quite look like a father-daughter relationship.

Raven's eyeballs rolled, and he keenly felt that the girl in front of him must have some unclear relationship with that bastard Tyrion, maybe...

Maybe you can take revenge on him severely.

Thinking of this, Raven immediately showed a gentle expression on his face. He waved to the Moonlight Maiden in the attitude of an elder, and said:

Yes, not only have I met Tyrion, but I am also a very 'good' friend with him. He is my brother, so I am also your elder. Don't be so alien, girl.

You look very tired. Come with me, go to my house to rest first, tonight, I will take you to see your father.

Merlin stretched out his hand to open a door leading to the mysterious room. He made a please gesture to the girl in front of him, and said:

Oh, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?

The girl looked at Merlin, then touched the hilt of the long sword on her waist, bit her lips, and said softly:

My name is...

Eluen.
