Shadow of the Beautiful World

Brother, who was that person just now?

In the living room of Merlin's house, Lorna, who was sitting next to Ruiwen, was stirring the ice cream with a spoon while looking at Merlin with her head tilted. She asked curiously:

That man just now is so strange, he has the same eyes as Gu Gu! Is he Gu Gu's friend?

Ruiwen beside her was still as cold as ever. When she went home in the afternoon, she also saw Coulson who stayed for a short time, but Ruiwen acted as if Coulson didn't exist at all.

He is also a brother.

Merlin skillfully used chopsticks and put a sandwich on Lorna's plate. He said to Lorna:

Next time, you will call him Brother Phil, or Brother Coulson.

no, do not want!

Lorna snorted, she said stubbornly:

Only you are the elder brother, I call him Coulson.

All right.

Merlin shrugged. He ate a piece of fish and said to Lorna:

This afternoon, Ms. Ororo called me. She asked me if I should send you to Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters. What do you think? Do you want to go?

Go to school.

While biting the sandwich, Lorna said to Merlin:

Matt goes to school too, Daisy goes to school too, kids go to school, and if they don't go to school they're stupid, but I want Raven to come with me!

I dont go.

Ruiwen pinched the donut expressionlessly, and she said:

It's the most boring place.

Raven

Merlin said softly:

I'll help you with that matter, can you accompany Lorna to school? Just treat it as protecting her

I can't beat her now!

Raven glared at Merlin, and she said:

She doesn't need my protection.

Don't be afraid, Raven.

Lorna put the oily hand on Ruiwen's hand, which immediately attracted Ruiwen's glaring glances, but the little girl was not afraid at all, she smiled and said to Ruiwen:

If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat him up for you.

Under Merlin's gaze, Ruiwen said reluctantly:

If you find what I want, I'll go with Lorna.

Um.

Merlin glanced at the clock on the wall, picked up the tablecloth, wiped his mouth, and said to Raven:

It can be solved almost tonight, so I will watch less TV with Lorna later, go to bed early, and I will send you two there tomorrow morning. There is a boarding system over there, and you stay there 5 days a week. On weekends, I will Is it okay to take you home with Matt?

no problem.

Raven nodded, then went on to eat her donuts.

Meow

Just after everyone had dinner, the orange cat Gugu, who had been sleeping soundly all day, rushed down the stairs and rubbed against Merlin's feet. This was his dinner.

Googoo, cute Googoo.

Lorna ran to Gu Gu's side and hugged the heavy Gu Gu Gu in her arms. The orange cat was asked by Merlin not to hurt the children at home, so Gu Gu Gu had no choice but to let Lorna brush its fur.

But the little girl's movements are very gentle, so Cuckoo is not uncomfortable. This orange cat actually likes to stay with children. Especially after Lorna helped Gugu wash the cat litter once, Gugu allowed the girl to touch it.

Eric used to do the job of brushing Cuckoo's hair.

Well, speaking of Eric

Merlin took out his phone and said:

Maybe he has to come back tomorrow. It's time to settle his father's matter.

Behind Merlin, Rui Wen had finished grooming and was going to sleep. She fiddled with her hair and said to Merlin:

Don't forget what happened tonight!

Merlin looked at the clock and said:

Don't worry, it's still far from midnight

A few seconds later, the phone dialed.

Hello? Merlin?

Eric's voice rang on the other end of the phone. There were girls singing beside the young man, making it very noisy.

Charlie and I are playing with friends, what can you do?

Find a quiet place.

Merlin says:

Call me back later, it's very important about your father.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Eric said quickly:

Wait a mininute.

After hanging up the phone, Merlin picked up the Hell Creatures Illustrated Book indifferently, flipped through it, and waited. Half a minute later, Merlin's phone rang again.

You just said it was about my father Merlin, you want me

No, I won't let you go to Wakanda alone.

Merlin says:

I just found someone related to Wakanda. She seems to have a lot of status in that place, so I plan to let you meet her. Maybe she will know the whereabouts of your father. If things don't go well, I will Will also entrust her to take you to Wakanda.

I don't want to make my father's affairs public. You are right. My father didn't have a reason to hide my existence. I don't need help from Wakanda. I know Wakanda is in where.

Eric replied:

Ron's brother sent me a detailed magic map a few years ago, which recorded the road to Wakanda. If it weren't for your blocking, I might have passed by alone very early.

You might have died there too.

Merlin said bluntly:

Dispel your idea of ​​sneaking away as soon as possible, I have already told Charlie, she will help me watch you!

Tomorrow morning, come home to me honestly, and I will take you to see that lady. No matter what decision you make, she will help you hide your existence.

By the way, don't tell Charlie about this, I don't want that child to get involved in your troubles.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line, then Eric replied:

Okay, tomorrow morning, I will rush back.

Ah That's good.

Merlin chatted with Eric for a few more words, then hung up the phone.

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his legs crossed, coffee in his hand, and concentrated on the book in his hand. Lorna was sitting beside him, hugging Gu Gu, concentrating on watching cartoons.

Rui Wen's suggestion is very correct, and Merlin also feels that his understanding of hell creatures can no longer keep up with his own transformation, so he has to hurry up to enrich his knowledge, and pass the time waiting for midnight by the way.

Two hours later, Lorna finished watching the cartoon, yawned and went back to her room to sleep, and the whole house fell silent.

Merlin put away the book, walked to the bathroom, took out the key to the mysterious house, and opened the door leading to the mysterious house. The orange cat Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu saw that magical door appeared again, and it immediately came to life. Trot followed behind Merlin, and walked into the mysterious room.

Xuan Lan waited for Merlin's arrival at the door with her hands tied as before.

Welcome back, Master Merlin.

Xuanlan asked warmly:

Want some supper? I recently collected some recipes from this era, maybe you want some bird's nest?

No, Lan.

Merlin shook his head and said:

Give Gugu a sea fish, it should like it. Also, is the portal to the border of hell running smoothly?

very smooth.

Xuanlan replied:

The teleportation stone left by Da Vinci's master is functioning normally. As long as you need it, the portal of the mysterious house can take you to the border of hell at any time, but it will be more difficult to return. My personal suggestion is that you can carry one with you. Doors. As long as they have full locks.

Take a door with you?

Merlin blinked and said:

Well, great idea, why didn't I think of it before? Can you help me prepare a portable door?

When Meilin asked, Xuanlan nodded, and she said:

Of course, your need is my will, please wait a moment, I will prepare right away.

It was nearly 9 o'clock at night, and there were still 3 hours before midnight. Merlin was sitting by the fireplace in the living room, continuing to read the Illustrated Book of Hell Creatures, while Gugu was lying on the opposite sofa, enjoying The warmth brought by the fireplace, a moment later, a ghost servant quietly delivered a beautifully decorated sea fish sashimi on a plate.

Gugu's nose moved, and it opened its eyes, looking at the fish in front of it, a very human joy appeared in its eyes.

As a devouring beast, Gugu can eat all the time, and its tail is connected to a space like a miniature universe, which brings inexhaustible energy to Gugu, allowing Gugu to realize space teleportation. Can use some weak energy attacks, theoretically, Gugu's stomach can never be filled.

In terms of pure destructive power, Merlin may have surpassed Cuckoo, but in terms of overall combat performance, Merlin is still far behind Cuckoo.

As long as the cat is willing, it can use a sneak attack to swallow Merlin into its stomach. As long as Merlin can't break the strong stomach wall of the Yuan Devourer, he will be sealed inside forever.

Of course, Cuckoo also has its own wisdom, it will not provoke opponents that it can't deal with, after all, it is just a young body devouring beast, and it is far from a real adult.

The time to study with peace of mind always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, the time has come to close to midnight.

Merlin closed the book, moved his shoulders and spine, stood up, and walked to the alchemy laboratory of the mysterious house with Gu Gu in his arms. Since the alchemy room at home was reserved for Ruiwen, Merlin put a lot of his Ongoing experiments were moved to the mystery room.

On the counter in the alchemy room, there are green bells, red pots, and the source blood of Vlad III in crystal bottles, as well as several power fragments sealed in boxes, which were used to destroy Sangong before. Merlin never used them.

Before the power of the half-demon stage is stabilized, Merlin can't use these things. They will prompt the magic power in Merlin's body to riot again, and even make Merlin's form more demonic.

After all, he is not Rui Wen, who can absorb so many power seeds at once.

He has to take his time.

Xuanlan was standing in front of the portal leading to the border of hell. Beside Xuanlan, there was a very thin wooden door, the height of which was just enough for Merlin to pass through without bowing his head.

The door seems to have just been made, and it has been painted with a layer of red dye. There is a strange rune mark on the door, which is the rune of the restoration spell, which can ensure that the door will not be completely destroyed. .

Bring this door, Master Merlin.

Xuanlan said:

As long as you have the key, you can return to the warm mystery house anywhere.

Thanks, Lan.

Merlin thanked his butler, and then put the door into his pocket. He stretched out his hand, lit up the portal fixed with five crystals in front of him, and then took a step forward with Gu Gu, coming To the brink of hell.

Meow!

The bad air in hell made the drowsy Gu Gu jump up instantly, and it looked around with a little furry, but the Yuan Devourer is Yuan Devourer, and soon, Gu Gu Gu seemed to adapt to this damned air , It also quickly lost interest in this deserted place, it buried its head in Merlin's arms, and patted its tail on Merlin's arm, urging Merlin to leave here quickly.

Hey, I'm waiting for someone.

Merlin stroked Gugu's fur, and said:

It will be fine soon.

A few minutes later, at exactly midnight, a dark red light appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.

Liana stepped out of the light. She was wearing a long windbreaker, which completely covered her body. Under the windbreaker, she still had the punk armor from before. Her long golden hair hung loose on her shoulders, but her eyes were already covered. Without the rebellious smoky makeup, the girl's outfit is very simple this time.

Merlin saw that in Liana's hands, she was still holding the crystal bottle containing the memories of Colossus.

This made Merlin realize that the girl seemed to have made a decision.

I made a decision.

Liana said to Merlin with a cold tone:

I want to live!

Well, what then?

Merlin stroked the cat in his arms, and he asked:

After realizing the cruel reality, you don't have only one thought, do you?

I want to live, that old bastard Bellacus must die.

Liana said in a ferocious tone:

I know that on this land, it is difficult for outsiders to challenge the majesty of Belacos, but I already have an idea, you don't need to care about the specific execution process, I just need you to appear in the place when necessary. On the battlefield, help me kill that old bastard!

Well, it's not impossible to talk about it.

Merlin said in a gentle tone:

Before that, let's talk about you first. I have a solution to the trouble in your soul.

But I was entrusted by others, and I cannot give it to you for nothing.

So, let's make a deal, Liana Latympus.

Don't call me that name.

Liana frowned and said:

In this land, I have another name.

Call me Secret Guest!
