Merlin has reached the age of going to school. In the spring of one year, the little boy has grown one year older. Judging from various physical indicators, his age matches the age of receiving the wand, so Sheldon will take him to Merlin today.

Holy Land, by the way, he would check his physical condition again. Speaking of which, he had not returned to the Holy Land of Merlin for a long time, and he just happened to go back today to catch up with acquaintances.

Sheldon hadn't been able to sleep well in the past few days. He kept thinking about Merlin's fate over and over in his mind, and felt a sense of fear in his mouth. He couldn't help but touch Merlin's head affectionately on the carriage heading to Merlin's Holy Land.

, the father-son relationship for many years has formed an inseparable bond between the two of them. Merlin was very obedient and did not cause any trouble for him along the way. On the contrary, he saved himself from dire straits time and time again.

He tried to understand it all. Family? Friendship? Rescue? Support? Religion? Humanity? Magic? Destiny? Education? There was no way to start with any of them. Merlin was like the brightest star in the sky descending to earth, full of hope for life.

Enthusiasm comes to him

He is reserved but not closed-minded, confident but not complacent, and alert but not cunning. These are all his excellent qualities. He has given up on giving Merlin medicine to suppress the growth of nightmares in his body, because this medicine is useless.

It still tastes like a torment to drink.

"Wand! Hey, I want my own wand too!" Merlin grinned, tapping the bottom of the carriage with his toes from time to time, "Dad's wand has been following me for a long time, waving it one after another. It looks very handsome!"

"Magic wands are all different, some are long and some are short, some are big and some are small." Sheldon said with a smile, "You can look forward to what kind of wand will accompany you in the future. But most people are unlikely to use it.

If you have a magic weapon, don't show it off to others everywhere."

"Yes, I understand." Merlin said seriously.

Nightmare said angrily: "The last time we secretly borrowed some power from the World Tree, that guy probably had a grudge against us. Humph, pulling out a branch from the World Tree to make a wand would probably make that old guy mad to death.

."

"Old guy..." Marquez was quite speechless, "He won't kill us..."

Nightmare said nonchalantly: "Who knows? But I just borrowed a little bit of the law of time, so there probably won't be any problems."

Marquez said: "What do you mean by borrowing a little bit... It should be borrowing a lot without permission! I didn't understand it before, but now I finally know how serious it is to invoke the law of time.

What a sin!"

"Take it one step at a time. If that doesn't work, we can still go back in time -" Nightmare Merlin was stuck, "Ah, we can't match the power of World Tree, and we will probably be captured from the other side of time."

"Ah, in this case we will all die, that's great." Marquez pretended to smile, "That's great!"

"So, we can only take one step at a time..."

The two came to the Holy Land of Plum Grove where flowers were in full bloom. Merlin always liked flowers. This was the Holy Land of Merlin that represented Merlin, so he had a natural affinity for this place. As time passed, he was no longer as immature as before, and he was able to control his ability to use magic.

He is thirsty and does not want to devour everything he looks at, but the "bloodline suppressive power" emanating from his body will still deter all kinds of flesh and blood creatures.

Merlin walked along the path filled with flowers and plants, enduring the fearful gazes of jungle beasts in the distance. He held Sheldon's hand and was full of curiosity about every plant and tree around him. He only knew a small part of the Holy Land of Merlin. Sheldon has never taken him to other places. But this time, Sheldon unusually took him around all the places, from the First Sanctuary to the Eighth Sanctuary, and from the Cambis Mountains to the surrounding areas. The forest belt brought him to see many rune creatures along the way, including many nightmares.

Of course, when these relatively low-level rune creatures saw Merlin, they were so frightened that they couldn't move and didn't even dare to breathe...

The two sat at both ends of the log, looking at the shadow of the giant tree towering into the clouds in the distance. The soft clouds slowly circled around the tree trunks. The birds in the sky were not even half as big as the leaves. The magic sun lost its effectiveness here. , the World Tree is the magic sun here, spreading its eternal green vitality into the Holy Land of Plum Grove.

They immediately returned to the First Sanctuary. While conducting a physical examination on Merlin, Sheldon approached the [original old man] to discuss the appropriateness of obtaining a wand.

He was the only Six Magic Pattern Magician in the entire Yaris. The huge magic power destroyed his body. He was already old and thinned into a human body. The loose skin hung on his face, like a rag bag.

"How is the growth of Merlin this time?" The old man was pushed over in a wheelchair. "This is one of the key factors of the [Perfect Container] plan. There must be no mistakes."

"His condition is very good!" When Sheldon heard the words [Perfect Container], his heart ached a little, "Whether it is psychologically or in terms of magic level. I have conducted basic magic knowledge on him. teachings.”

The old man raised a finger, as if to warn: "You don't need to let him know too much, otherwise you will shoot yourself in the foot. The plan has changed, you just need to raise him safely. He needs Enter the central area of ​​the Holy Land in person and ask for the wand from the World Tree. Within a period of time, his body will need to become familiar with the wand."

"I am Merlin's caregiver, and I want to know what he will be used for in the end." Sheldon pursed his lips and said, "He is very talented."

The old man waved his hand: "Merlin's only use is his physical fitness. Everyone who joins the Merlin Cult is very talented, and so are you. Charlie's ambitions are very big, and we will naturally have corresponding solutions. Although the situation is It’s a little unexpected that an insect like the Original Church wants to get involved, but it’s just a crushing one.”

"So...where will he be used in the future?"

"This is not a question you need to know. The subsequent communication work will be negotiated by Cheney. You are no longer a member of the Merlin Cult. From a formal point of view, I do not need to hand over Merlin to your care. Hand over Merlin After completing it, you will naturally get the opportunity to join the association and get promoted."

Sheldon lowered his head, as if trying to endure something: "I know."

After Merlin checked his body, he came back jumping up and down. It was no different from what was expected from the previous test, except that the level of magic power in the blood increased by 20%, which was still within the expected range. The little boy looked at himself expectantly. , jumping up and shouting, "I'm going to have my own wand soon! It belongs only to me!" Sheldon smiled and rubbed his head, the bridge of his nose was itchy. He moved his Adam's apple, which was very heavy. It's like I just ate a lemon wedge.

"An aunt you have met before will come to guide you. As long as you go all the way to the end, you will see a very big tree. Make a wish in front of it devoutly, and the magic wand you want will fly down from the sky.

"Sheldon is used to being a father, but Merlin is also used to being a child.

Cheney came to Merlin and once again marveled at the boy's rapid growth. After chatting with Sheldon for a few words, she planned to send Merlin to the World Tree first, and it would not be too late for the two of them to have an in-depth conversation.

Sheldon sat in front of the door of the First Sanctuary. There were no tables and chairs at the door before, but now a set was specially placed for his sake. To put it bluntly, it was just for the two of them to chat. Two or three minutes later, Cheney came back.

.

"I sent him to the Flowerbed of Time, and he had to walk the rest of the way by himself." Cheney looked at Sheldon with distress and saw a few more gray hairs on his head. "It's been a hard work these past few years."

"It's not hard... I've grown a lot myself," Sheldon said with a wry smile, "Now... I'm a little reluctant to let go."

Cheney said: "It's okay, relax, every time you get something, you have to pay accordingly."

"If I say, Merlin..." Sheldon lowered his head.

"What's wrong with him?"

Sheldon suddenly raised his head: "I have actually been struggling with this for a while...but in the end I still hope that he can live with his true 'self'."

"You will be executed... If you let Merlin go without permission, neither the Merlin Cult nor the Brotherhood will forgive you!" Cheney tapped the table with worry, "You must not...

....You...what is so different about him that he can..."

Sheldon covered his head in pain: "He has power that none of us can match! That is power that transcends the past, present and future! Of course, there is some selfishness in it... I might

I really can’t worry about him.”

"Sheldon, what is beyond the past, present and future... I just want you to live well!" Cheney's face turned pale, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, "You will definitely... I

So to you—"

Sheldon said solemnly: "——What if I say, then the legend about Merlin is true? You and I both know that we cannot achieve the ultimate in life by relying on life magic alone!"

Cheney's eyes widened, as if his throat was choking: "You! You really... you seem to have finally made up your mind."

"I have to do this. Human beings always place their hope in that illusory glow." Sheldon wanted to say something else, but saw tears in the corners of Cheney's eyes, "You..."

"I understand." Cheney wiped away his tears vigorously, "You know... I am not actually that... innocent towards you."

"Uh." Sheldon was stunned, "I've never-"

"——You bastard! A huge bastard! Liar, liar, liar!" Cheney gritted his teeth and said, "You are really looking for death! Why are you..."

Sheldon only had three words in his mind: "I'm sorry."

"I will help you." Cheney said with red eyes, "But I only help you keep secrets, understand? And you can't die without my permission! Otherwise..."

"Okay, okay..." Sheldon agreed, "I plan to hand over Merlin to my teacher. In this way, he can also bring out his best value. That old thing can't be used by this kind of child.

Don’t let go of your feelings.”

"I wanted to stir things up for a while longer...but you disturbed me!" Cheney twisted Sheldon's arm hard, causing him to cry out in pain, "I will keep this matter a secret for you.

, I will never tell anyone."

"Okay." Sheldon nodded heavily, "Cheney, there are many people who are worthy of you..."

Before they finished speaking, the two of them looked towards the north. The ground began to tremble, and the birds in the forest took off in darkness. They saw a divine light descending from the sky, and in the center of the divine light was a stick. It was undoubtedly a stick.
Chapter completed!
