[HP] How to be successful

The emptiness he filled instantly gave him a powerful sense of satisfaction.

He couldn't help holding Vivienne's hand even harder. Merlin couldn't tell how he felt now, but only knew that the softness in his hand seemed to sweep away his exhaustion, his body warmed up, and he was always implicated in his heart. , hot as if burning, unable to calm down.

With the follow-up magic power, Merlin broke the concealment magic, and the black fog dispersed to reveal the truth.It's still the spiral staircase, but this time the staircase is no longer endless, it just circles around to the end, and seems to lead to a secret room. On it, he can only see the jagged brown high wall, which faintly sees through. There was a red light, like the shining of a flame, what shone in the dark night was not scorching heat, but the opposite coldness.

Without going down immediately, Merlin just untied his outer robe and laid it on the clearing made for drawing the magic circle. He held Vivian and sat down with his hand clasped, feeling that it was still flowing into his body. The magic power, Merlin hastily opened his mouth to stop it.

"Vivienne, you can stop, I just need to rest for one night and I will recover."

In the next second after saying this, the transmission of magic power stopped, but Merlin still did not let go of the hand he was holding, even seeing the thin figure of the child sitting next to her, he couldn't help but hug her up and hug her into his arms.

Dazed for a moment, Merlin was startled by his sudden action, a slight doubt flashed in his eyes, why did he suddenly pick up Vivian?It's not that he hasn't hugged Vivienne before. He hugged Vivienne back when they first met, but he never hugged Vivienne after that time. After all, Vivienne is a girl, and Already 11 years old, even if he is her teacher, he shouldn't go too far.

But the next moment, Merlin was relieved, he was just worried that Vivienne would be cold, why did he need to think so much?It's really mediocre, let's think about the goals we may get after going down tomorrow, I hope Vivienne can like it.Merlin, who completely rationalized his doubts, ignored the slight strangeness in his heart, and put his thoughts back on the matter of pets, but he still hugged Vivien carefully in his arms, and hugged him all night without letting go. Although the bloodline is weak, it really exists.

It wasn't until the magic power in his body recovered that Merlin took Vivienne down the stairs. When he got to the ground, Merlin realized that the secret room was more magnificent than he imagined, or it couldn't even be called the secret room. After all, the place called the doorway doesn't even have a door, and the big square stone pillar inside can be seen directly.

At the bottom of the stone pillar is a large arched cavity, one on each side, leaving a large space at the bottom of the stone pillar. In the middle of that space, there is a chair. I don’t know what material it is made of. It's just that there is nothing on the chair, and even the carvings are just some unrecognizable patterns, some of which are similar to the textures on the corridor, which seem to have inexplicable magic power, cold and cold.

Right behind the chair is a cave-like place. The stone walls in the cave show a burning red color, and in the middle of these stone walls, there is really a flame burning, but it is just different from the flames projected on the stone wall. The fire red is different. The flames are red with pitch black entwined in circles, stretching all the way to the top. Black flames are jumping. In the middle of the black flames, there is an egg floating out of thin air, a pitch-black egg.

... Merlin's face was completely numb for a moment when he saw the egg. He never thought that the powerful pet that belonged to Vivienne told him on the divination image would be an egg or a black one. A big egg that needs to be embraced by both hands is too unsightly. How can it be worthy of his Vivienne?

Opening

Looking at the egg in distaste, Merlin almost wanted to give it up and help Vivienne find a pet again, but it was only almost. In the end, Merlin still didn't give up on the egg. After all, the so-called divination is not that simple. Things are not something that can be divined, but things that can be divined mean that they cannot be changed, and the divination image seems to reveal too much the importance of this pet to Vivian, so, no matter the egg He looks so unworthy of Vivienne, and he needs to get him, but the black flame...

Looking at the jumping black flame, Merlin frowned. He had read information about this kind of flame before, but there was no name, black flame with red background, no temperature enough to burn everything, or even no heat at all, because This kind of flame burns bone-eating ice. There are rumors among magicians that this kind of flame is the biggest enemy of magicians, because what it burns with its coldness is magic power.Therefore, if he wants to obtain that egg, he must feed it with a huge amount of magic power, because in just a moment, the flame can absorb all the magic power of a senior magician.

Even though he knew the consequences, Merlin stretched out his hand into the black flames without any hesitation, and before reaching in, Merlin felt as if his whole body was frozen, and the blood stopped flowing in an instant. The creaking sound of his own fragile bones.

It took almost all of his strength to grab the egg, and he held it with both hands with difficulty. When he left the black flame, Merlin felt as if he had just been fished out of the glacier, dripping with cold sweat, covered in cold sweat. On the body, it quickly turned into a thin layer of ice, which made him extremely stiff.

Just when Merlin thought he would become a veritable ice sculpture, the familiar warm current flowed slowly from his heart to his whole body, and the ice gradually dissipated. Together with the cold sweat, the almost suffocating throat that was uncomfortable just now was smooth now. Fresh air flowed into the body, and the blood returned to normal operation, especially from death to life, the feeling was indescribable, like being reborn, looking at the person holding him quietly, the long eyelashes brushed out in the air A beautiful arc was formed, and the inexplicable emotion disturbed the heartbeat.

"Vivienne..." Lowering his eyes slightly, Merlin restrained the strangeness in his heart, and called softly, holding his child with his face sideways, and pointed to the egg on the ground, "This is for you Gift."

Just when Merlin thought that his words would still lead to the same speechlessness as countless times before, the sideways child turned his head, and his wandering eyes fell into his eyes, the faint golden flow, bright and dazzling .

Merlin was overwhelmed by surprise in an instant. Although Vivienne still didn't speak, it was the first time he saw Vivienne showing an expression. Calm, but it's all an improvement, isn't it?

The joy made the corners of Merlin's mouth even bigger, and he held Vivienne's hand and placed it on the egg in a handshake position, and slowly explained, "Don't look at this ugly egg, However, the divination image shows that it is very powerful and will be of great help to Vivian, but I still hope that this egg can hatch a beautiful pet, so that it is worthy of Vivian!"

Holding the slender fingers with well-defined joints, he slowly touched the egg along the traction, but unexpectedly, a huge thrust threw him back fiercely, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. Before he even had time to get up, he saw the vision protruding.

"Vivian—"

The exclamation could not be delayed even for a moment. The moment Vivian's fingers touched the eggshell, a sky full of red light burst out from Vivian's body, and the silver-blue hair was abnormally bright amidst the fiery red. It was cold, and on the robe, the red lines on the neckline of the clothes began to flow and spread as if responding to the flames. Vivienne's whole body was surrounded by flames, and the egg shell also appeared There were strange fiery red lines, like flowing magma, quickly burning out criss-crossing red lines, strange and strange.

"Vivian!"

Merlin stood up from the ground and quickly came to Vivienne's side. A huge water curse was poured down, but it couldn't extinguish even the slightest flame. The bone-eroding coldness is like a fantasy, and it cannot be touched except it can be seen.

Just when Merlin was anxious and at a loss, the same as when it was burning, the flame suddenly went out. When Merlin let out a sigh of relief, the people in the flames slowly closed their eyes without warning, and fell down weakly.

"Vivian—"

Before Vivienne fell to the ground and hugged his slipping body, Merlin checked in a panic but did not find that Vivienne was injured. When he was helpless and anxious, he had to take someone out first. Soon, there was no one left. The dead silence was restored again, and it was impossible to find that the egg that should have been on the ground disappeared at some point.

The green tree stands towering, and the thick trunk has traces of the years, the bark is dry and cracked into pieces, and the green moss has quietly covered the trunk in countless times, and the intricate trunk is somewhat arched. The soil, spiraling into an incomprehensible web.

On the moss-covered tree roots, some unknown little flowers bloom in the wind, bright yellow like stars in the sky.The fungi that cannot distinguish the species also stick out their heads, and they are unusually long and lush. Under the magic of time, the fungi are also extraordinarily tall and straight. The largest one is more than ten meters high, and the umbrella-shaped There are purple-red spots on the top, mixed with white in between, the stars are very cute.

The cyan grass is climbing the gray-white fence, entangled one by one, and the two short wooden doors are concealed.
