The magician from the time of peace

Meris, who became the focus, looked confused and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me... have we met?"

When everyone was shocked by this simple and rude recognition of relatives, the two girls had already stepped out of the stage and walked towards Meris with big smiles on their faces: "I only know that someone from the DeMarca family has come in, but there is no Thinking it would be you, why did Lord Merris appear here?"

"My lord, my lord?" Even if Merris remained calm, she couldn't help stammering in the face of this strange situation: "Excuse me, where did the two ladies hear my name?"

Vera looked slightly restrained: "Our..."

In the middle of her speech, she frowned and stopped, muttering: "Sister? Mom? Master?"

After changing her address several times, she looked up and said, "Teresa, you are Teresa de Marca's idol."

Merris: "...Really, thank you."

Nell held Merris' arm familiarly, and the subtly similar appearance made them look like brother and sister: "I thought it was some Demarca who came to us for help, but I didn't expect it to be you, you should be four People of the century."

Vera held Merris' other hand, and said immediately: "What is the reason why you appeared in the fourteenth century? Did you take the medicine of immortality, or have you been sleeping somewhere?"

The two suddenly approached his face and said in unison: "Or are you not Lord Merris at all, but some impostor?"

"I'm real..." Merris was suddenly questioned about his identity, but he was not angry at all, with a polite smile on his face: "As for the reason why I will meet you here... it is because of time." magic."

The two girls let go of their hands at the same time, and took a few steps back. The slightly stern expressions on their faces made one suspect that they hadn't heard "magic", but rather some obscene and filthy words.

"magic?"

"By the way, he is a magician."

"The one that triggered the mechanism yesterday was indeed..."

"But most of DeMarca are magicians, and that's Lord Merris..."

The two girls whispered to each other, and after a while they put on their smiling faces again, and posted them one by one from left to right, each saying: "Master Merris used time magic to come to the fourteenth century."

"And also found our hiding place and activated the secret door."

"There must be something very important."

"Let's go over there and talk slowly, which happens to allow us to fulfill our obligation to entertain."

The girl's arms were slender and soft, but they contained strength that should not be underestimated. Merris was dragged by them for several steps, but it was too late to explain that it was not him who used the time magic.

"Where are you taking him?"

When they took a few steps forward, a cold voice sounded, and Felix put his hand on Meris' shoulder with a dark face, preventing him from taking another step forward.

Vera turned her head, her long blond hair slid across her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Excuse me, are you?"

Unlike the gentleman's Merris, Felix didn't mean to report his name at all. He snorted coldly: "I asked the question first."

Nell let go of Merris's arm a little, snapped his fingers, and a small tray hung from the ceiling with a pair of monocles on it.

She put the glasses on her eyes and looked at Felix. Many patterns of different sizes and shapes appeared on the transparent lenses, and they kept changing positions, making people dazzled.

"Magician." Nell said, she turned to the three people who were still kneeling on the ground, but were completely stunned, and commented one by one: "No, no, this is it."

"May I take the liberty of asking a question..."

"Since it's Mrs. Merris, please feel free to ask questions."

"I found that...you seem to dislike magic very much," Merris organized the language: "Can I ask the reason?"

Vera said lightly: "She doesn't like it."

"...?"

"Teresa doesn't like magic." Nell put the glasses back on the tray, and the tray was put back in an instant.

"Just because of this?" That's why they searched for various substances that can inhibit the activity of elements, and scattered them all over the continent, so that the status of magicians will decline from generation to generation?

Foster couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart, but fortunately he closed his mouth in time to prevent the subsequent questioning from coming out.

"It's because of this. Do you have any questions?" Vera smiled. For some reason, Foster's back felt cold and he shook his head vigorously.

"Very good." Vera nodded, with a sincere smile: "Master Merris, I have answered your question, can we go then?"

"When are you going to answer my question?" Felix slid his hand on Merris' shoulder, forcefully separated Nell's hand, and firmly grasped Merris' arm, saying every word He asked: "If you are old and hard of hearing, then I will ask again: Where are you taking him?"

Nell narrowed his eyes, looked at him with interest, and said, "Magician, haven't you noticed that you can no longer use magic?"

"What does that have to do with my question?" Felix was unimpressed.

"I'm just curious, what gave you the courage to speak wildly to us here." Nell said slowly: "Is it because the ignorant are fearless, or are you ready to take responsibility for your words and deeds?"

Before the two girls who turned their faces faster than the book could do anything, a hand was placed between them and Felix. Merris stood in front of Felix with a smile, and said with a smile: " You two, I'm actually very curious, can't we talk in this room?"

Vera and Nell glanced at each other, and then put on a smile like flipping through a book: "Master Merris, according to our rules, only people with DeMarca's blood can enter this place, but now due to Your reason is that so many outsiders have come in, so we want to go to a quieter place with you and have a good chat."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although it is said that foreign guests are not accepted here, since they are your friends, they can of course stay here and wait for your return. As long as they don't make mistakes indiscriminately, we will not take any expulsion measures." measure."

"Master Merris, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Regardless of whether Merris is satisfied or not, Felix's face was so dark that "I won't do it" was written on his face. Merris quickly squeezed his hand and asked as if he could read his mind: " This is my best friend—"

He stopped suddenly, and pursed his lips a little shyly: "He is my lover. Can you let him walk with me?"

Nell and Vera blinked.

Merris smiled.

Nell and Vera exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Are you dating?"

"Yes."

"How long have you known each other?"

"It's been a long time, about ten years or so."

"love at first sight?"

"...Probably not."

"When were you together?"

"The last few days……"

Vera and Nell frowned at the same time: "The plot of childhood sweethearts falling in love because of their affection for a long time is already too old-fashioned and unpopular."

Merris: "..."

"Although the sincere feelings between you are very touching," Vera said perfunctorily, "but we don't need material in this regard. So I'm sorry, Lord Merris, please come with us alone."

Merris looked back at Felix anxiously, and Nell persuaded: "It's just a short conversation, and it will be over soon. We occasionally want to know what happened in the outside world. In return, we also I will answer your questions for you.”

"You go." Felix said. He looked at the two girls with burning eyes, "I'll give you two or ten minutes. If he doesn't come back after this time, I won't guarantee what will happen."

Nell chuckled: "Magician, you can try it and see what happens."

"Twenty-ten minutes is enough." In order to prevent new arguments, Vera took over the conversation and guided Merris to the elevator: "Master Merris, please go this way."

Merris shook his hand at Felix, and said in a soft voice in the language of the fourth century: "I will let them remove the barriers of forbidden magic in the whole continent, so you wait here obediently for me, okay?"

Felix frowned, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay."

The three of them all stood on the lifting platform. Nell pulled out a control panel from somewhere, and tapped on it quickly with white fingers. The lifting platform jerked violently and rose up. While staring at him, he returned to the crack at the top, and the ceiling slowly closed back to its original shape, with no traces visible.

If it wasn't for one person missing, they almost thought it was just a dream.

"Those two... are the goddesses?" Foster got up from the ground, his feet were a little numb, and he staggered a few steps.

Agnes didn't speak - she also knew that none of the remaining people would be a gentleman to help a lady, so she stood up silently, her eyes dim.

Lamb's simple mind couldn't deal with the complicated situation now, so he simply let go, sat comfortably on the sofa, crossed his legs and waited for the goddess to put Meris back, so that he could see his goddess Vera again.

As for Felix.

Without saying a word, he looked down at his hands, and after a while he sneered, and sat back in the old place where Merris gave him a portrait, took out the portrait, and inspected every stroke with his eyes fixedly. After that, I waited silently.

"There are so many things that alchemy can do." Merris admired sincerely on the moving lifting platform.

Now it is inappropriate to call it a lifting platform, because after ascending to the top, there is actually a long horizontal passage there, and the platform is automatically fixed to a metal track in the middle of the passage, and advances at high speed.

Merris could clearly see that there were various entrances and exits on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the tunnel. As long as he operated the platform, he could easily move underground and go to any place he wanted.

How long did it take to build such a huge underground palace, and this is an island, how did it cut off the sea water.Merris couldn't help thinking: Alchemy is really powerful.

"Thank you for the compliment." Vera nodded, and introduced: "The place we are going to next is Teresa's former laboratory. Although there are many rooms underground, and they are all cleaned by machines in turn, Lord Merris is visiting , we would like to introduce you to the best of our castle."

"And if she knows that you have been to her laboratory, she will be so happy that she can't sleep for several days." Nell added on the sidelines. When she said this, she had a faint smile on her face. For some reason, This ordinary expression made her look a lot more real.

Merris bowed gracefully: "This is my honor."

The platform carrying the three people continued to rise, and stopped when Merris almost thought they were going to leave the ground, and smoothly slid into a room.

This room looked about the same size as the reception room, but it looked overcrowded, with several long tables scattered throughout the room, making it look like a small maze.Parts, flasks, and books littered every table as if it had just been through a raging hurricane.

There was only a small patch of unusual neatness, a fueled lamp, an open notebook, and a pen dipped in ink.

The chairs at the back were pulled away for a short distance, as if the owner here just left for a while and would come back soon, so even the chairs were never pushed back to the original place - but judging from the style of this room, the owner should not be a person The character that puts things back in place.

"A very lively room." Merris is not a person who speaks bad words, so he made such an evaluation.

But Nell and Vera obviously took this statement seriously, and laughed smugly: "Of course, we have maintained this room like this for all these years."

No, obviously for a long time, you quarreled fiercely, and you even wrote letters and scolded each other after living in two places.Merris thought, but he wasn't interested in exposing it either. He just smiled and praised: "You guys really have a heart. If Teresa knows, she will be happy."

Merris' casual remark made the two of them seem intoxicated, and they almost got carried away. Fortunately, Vera was a few minutes older and mature, and remembered dragging three chairs over and asked Merris to sit down.

"I'm very sorry, we don't have tea and dessert here, I hope you don't mind." Nell said, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide, which made her look like an ordinary eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

"Excuse me, why did you come to our place without hesitation?" Vera cut to the point.

Merris thought about it for a while, and said it openly: "We—I mean me and Felix, my lover—when we came to this century, we discovered that the elemental activity of the entire continent It’s not quite right. After inquiry and investigation, we found that it’s probably because of you. That’s why we came here. I hope you can lift the restraint on the activity of continental elements. Apart from that, we don’t have any other requests. May I ask you Can you agree?"

"No."

The decisive answer stunned Merris for a moment—because of his face, he rarely suffers in negotiations—he changed his mind and continued: "Teresa was born in Demarca of a magical family. She says she hates magic, and I don't think she wants to see magic continue to decline like this—"

"No, this matter is not negotiable." Nell interrupted him rudely: "Does Lord Merris have any other requests?"

Merris said suddenly, "I'm sorry."

"Why the sudden apology?" Vera asked.

"I found that I don't know Miss Teresa, nor do I know anything about her, but it's really rude to speculate on her thoughts on the grounds that I belong to the same family." Merris smiled: "As Her friends, can you tell me what Teresa is like?"
