Shadow of the Beautiful World

Elsa followed Cilia out of the balcony. The violent storm outside the window could not touch the bodies of the two of them at all. With the movement of Xilia's finger, a white arc of light danced in front of their eyes, forming a communication window. A door to other worlds.

Elsa, who had just returned to Merlin, might leave him again, and this time, she might leave for a long, long time.

At this moment, in the deep rainy night, the clear sound of the door opening suddenly sounded behind Elsa and Cilia.

Ciriya raised her head, and saw a red door open in the space in front of Merlin's room. Merlin's housekeeper, Xuan Lan, was standing by the door. This spirit body in a black and white tuxedo looked at her expressionlessly. .

Please wait a moment, Miss Elsa, Master Merlin has a few words to say to you.

Accompanied by Xuanlan's calm voice, there were deep trampling sounds and the noisy sound of gear machinery running. Behind Xuanlan, the activated Hunter slowly stood up.

This giant robot aimed at spellcasters stepped into the ground of Hell's Kitchen, frenzied raindrops hit the mechanical hunter's shell, splashing jagged water waves, and the red hexagonal eyes stared fixedly at Ciri in front of him. Ya, the weapon systems in the two robotic arms are all online.

The beating red light completely blocked the road ahead.

This was an unplanned situation. Shiriya turned her head suddenly, only to see that in the room behind her, Merlin, who was supposed to be asleep, had sat up at this moment.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her with extremely cold eyes.

On the left hand side of Merlin is a gemstone shining with crimson light.

On his right hand was a golden warhammer filled with cold air.

At his feet, Frank barked at Cilia, and behind Cilia on the balcony, Googoo was squatting there, licking his paws. The Yuan Devouring Beast's eyes were filled with the cold light of a predator.

Dear Cilia, are you going to

Merlin said to Cilia:

Where are you taking my girlfriend?

Shiriya didn't answer. As a legendary witcher, she felt the crisis contained in this scene. She reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind her. She knew that things had entered the worst direction.

If things don't go well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get out of here today.

Merlin the guy

Unknowingly, there is already such power. In the current arrangement, as long as it is not a weird life form like Dracula, it is difficult for any legend here to compete with a Yuan Devourer and a half-demon. retreated under the siege.

What's more, Xi Liya's eyes fell on the things placed by Merlin's hands. Those two things gave her a sense of danger. Once Merlin decided to use them, his power would be maximized in an instant. strengthening.

As long as he is willing to pay the price, he can easily kill a legend.

I can explain.

Shiriya says:

You don't understand the danger involved.

But I don't want to hear it!

Merlin stroked the surface of the crimson gemstone with his fingers, and said in a low tone:

I should have guessed that a stranger would not be so enthusiastic. The 'remuneration' you mentioned in advance actually refers to this compensation, the compensation for taking Elsa from me?

Merlin no longer paid attention to Shiriya, he looked at Elsa who bowed his head, and he said seriously, word by word:

Come here! Elsa.

Come to me as long as you don't want to, no one can take you away.

Elsa didn't answer right away, she raised her head and looked at Merlin, with a gentle and persistent light in her green eyes.

She stretched out her hand, put it on the hand where Siriya drew the sword, and said to Merlin:

Less than a week after I returned to New York, the temperature in this city has dropped by 15 degrees, and the weather has become abnormal. The freezing rain tonight is a critical point, Merlin, if I don't leave, something bad will happen.

Many people will die, many innocent people.

I do not care!

Merlin says:

I just want you to stay!

No, you care

Elsa sighed and said:

You can't hide it from me, and you can't hide it from yourself. You are not the kind of person who will sit and watch innocent people die because of you. I know you very well.

Okay, I care

Merlin looked at Elsa's expression, he sighed, stood up a little puzzled, walked towards Elsa, and asked:

But why is this? Is it because of your ability?

That's not her ability, Merlin.

Cilia, who was standing beside Elsa, said in a low voice:

That's Bai Shuang, the dangerous and terrifying Bai Shuang, it's a pity, but Bai Shuang chose her.

What is Hoarfrost?

Merlin stretched out his hand and touched Elsa's cheek. The temperature from her skin made even Merlin's current physique feel chilly and even tingling.

It's an indescribable natural phenomenon.

Ciriya breathed a sigh of relief, and she took a step back, giving the space to Merlin and Elsa.

The female swordsman in white leaned against the balcony. She looked at the mechanical hunter standing upright under the rain, and she explained softly:

You can understand that it is one of the most intuitive manifestations of destruction, just like the 'heat death' theory that your scientists have summed up in the past few hundred years, hoarfrost can also be regarded as another sign of the destruction of stars form.

As long as it appears in a certain galaxy, within just a dozen years, the entire galaxy will be completely covered by glaciers and become barren and inhabited. Everything will be submerged by the blizzard falling from the sky, and civilization will also be destroyed. In those of me During my years of travelling, I have seen countless worlds wrapped in ice, all of which are the 'masterpieces' of Hoarfrost.

No one knows when Hoarfrost existed, but Hoarfrost entered the earth in the age when the witchers were active, around the 13th century to be precise. If you are familiar with natural science, then you should know , that period had another name.

Little Ice Age, I know.

Merlin says:

But I don't care about history, I only care about whether the hoarfrost on Elsa's body can be removed?

He looked at Shiriya, and he said:

You were also an active demon hunter in that era, how did you repel the hoarfrost at that time?

Actually, Merlin, you won't find anyone in this world who is more familiar with Baishuang than I am.

Cilia crossed her hips and said to Merlin with a little pride:

I repelled the hoarfrost back then, but in fact, I didn't know how I repelled it. I rushed into the hoarfrost with a sharp sword in my hand. I didn't think I could survive, but in the end I survived, and the hoarfrost faded from the earth, maybe it has something to do with the blood of the elders in me.

But I'm sure I didn't destroy that natural phenomenon, it just receded.

The ancient elf sage predicted that the world would eventually be destroyed by hoarfrost. Maybe she is right. As for the hoarfrost on Elsa, I am not sure whether it can be removed, but I can be sure of one thing.

Cilia said to Merlin seriously:

It's definitely not good for her or the world that you force her to stay with you. Your actions may lead to another little ice age. I'm not scaring you, Elsa is just in this city After staying for a week, it turns out that you are not blind when you look at the weather changes in the past few days, I don’t believe you can’t feel these changes.”

I can take her somewhere else.

Merlin looked at Elsa, and he asked:

As long as you make a decision, as long as you are willing, I will definitely find a place that will not be disturbed. Maybe Limbo is good.

But it also means that you have to give up everything you have now, your life, your career, your friends, and other relatives for me.

Elsa stretched out her hand and took Merlin's finger, she said:

Sorry, I have hidden something from you. Master White Wolf warned me about the threat of Hoarfrost, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, until the appearance of Siria, until I realized the change caused by me I have to get out of here, Merlin.

You want to make the world a better place. This is a great ideal. I can't be your burden.

But we've just entered a new phase.

Merlin didn't hide his pain, saying:

We are just getting used to this life, I watched the first movie with you, it was boring but we can keep trying, my life has just changed

Hey!

Cilia reached out and patted Merlin's shoulder, she interjected:

Don't make it look like life and death, Merlin.

Elsa is indeed leaving this world, but that doesn't mean you can't see her.

We are just worried that the hoarfrost in Elsa's body will continue to spread. In the case of isolating her influence on the world, we do not prohibit her from meeting you as long as you are not on the earth. You can stay together for as long as you exist. It will not speed up the spread of hoarfrost.

Hearing Shiriya's explanation, Merlin's expression eased a little. He looked back at Shiriya who had a scar on his face, and asked:

Then why didn't you make this matter clear? You insisted on being sneaky and ordered Elsa to add sleeping potion to my water. Do you really think I'm so stupid that I can't even smell the smell of sleeping potion?

We did this to avoid the embarrassing situation now! Great Lover.

Shiriya curled her lips, and she said:

No matter how wise a person is, he will become reckless and impulsive in the face of emotional attachment, and if you are sharp enough, you will find that there is a farewell letter under your pillow where Elsa has written all the circumstances.

We'll place her on a lifeless world where Mother has built a laboratory, and she'll help Elsa resist the hoarfrost.

My mother thought it was an accident that the hoarfrost appeared on Elsa's body. Since it was an accident, there was a cure. She felt that the hoarfrost in Elsa's body was a part of the hoarfrost that was expelled from the earth, and the hoarfrost The origin of it is probably a kind of ancient magic, which can be driven away, as long as we can find the key to drive away.

If it's magic, I might be able to help.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Elsa, then stretched out his hand, cupped the girl's face, and they kissed together.

Shiriya didn't want to be a light bulb, so she walked to the edge of the balcony, found a piece of dried meat from her carry-on, and started to tease Goo Gu Gu, who didn't want to pay attention to the white-haired female swordsman, but the dried meat in Shirley's hand gave off The different aroma caused Gu Gu's tail to shake at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ten seconds later, Merlin's cheeks were covered with a layer of frost. He separated from Elsa's lips. He reached out and stroked Elsa's hair. He said:

We'll see each other again, right?

Um.

Elsa buried her head in Merlin's chest and said:

Remember to say goodbye for me to Raven and Lorna, and Matt and Peter Jr., May and Ben. I may not see them for a long time. When everything is arranged over there, Cilia will The news will be sent to you.

It won't take long, we'll see you again, Merlin.

Elsa took off the bracelet with the red cross on her hand and put it on Merlin's left hand. She said to Merlin:

Carol gave you a ring. This is all I can give you. It may not be as useful as that ring, but as long as you can see it, you will never forget me.

I still want you to stay

Merlin stroked the bracelet on his wrist, he said:

Every time I come to this kind of time, I really want to be a person who doesn't care about anything. If I don't need to worry about those other factors, I can keep you by my side without any burden, even if it's locked. by my side.

But you wouldn't do that, my Merlin.

Elsa said softly:

You are a kind person. Kind people always need to carry more burdens, but this will not make them weaker.

Stay at home and wait for me to come back.

Next time, Merlin, I promise, next time, I will never leave you again!
