Sheldon and Merlin returned to their residence on Lilac Street. They had not lived here for about two or three years. The exact time was unclear. The layer of dust in the house alone was enough to indicate that they left shortly after.

Chang. They immediately opened the windows for ventilation, used magic to clean out all the dust in the house, went out to buy some food, and tidied up the house a little.

After finishing the rectification, they immediately arranged for a packing company to move everything they had in the mercenary gathering residence here, including the notebook that Merlin had previously obtained from the Merlin Holy Land. He had previously tried to communicate with this book.

Many times, although the other party responded, most of them were vague and perfunctory. For example, "Time will give the answer"; "

Now is not the time"; "I will find the answer after personal experience". But there are also thought-provoking words: "All Merlins are Merlins"; "What is the difference between you and me?"; "

I will show you the way, but what is about to greet you may be death. Are you still willing to walk with me?"; "I will always be by your side."

These words were very incomprehensible, but the other party said that there was no need to lie to him. He was still alive in a corner of the world, and hoped that he could come to him. He could still vaguely remember that where he was, Merlin had never heard of him.

He said that it is called "Holy Vishnu"... He also said that the climate and landforms there are actually similar to here.

When he felt bored, Merlin would often open this book and talk to the so-called "previous Merlin". While he was talking, Marquez asked Merlin the Nightmare for advice, and Merlin said that this guy's words cannot be fully understood.

I believe, in general, it is better to be careful.

After lunch, Sheldon said that he had to go out to do something and asked Merlin to stay at home and be good. He promised that he would stay at home and be good, but he asked Sheldon to buy something delicious.

He came back to reward him. He readily agreed. In this way, Merlin fiddled with the notebook at home, while Sheldon went out to meet the teacher he had not seen for several years - Zaratul.

The meeting place between Sheldon and [Erudition] Zaratul was in the outer building of the Central Academy of Magic in the Vatican Imperial Capital - Sheldon was considered an alumnus of theirs. After all, Zaratul was the head of the Magic Research Department at the time and a special appointee at the time.

Professor, and he happened to listen to Zaratul's class when he was in school, and the fate between the two was formed. Although Zaratul was old and retired early, the door of the Magic Academy was always open for him.

Sheldon was carrying a black briefcase, with a few wrinkles added to his weathered eyes, but his eyes were firm. He had already reached this point, why didn't he make a decision? If he could stay in this world

What's next... In the past few years of getting along with Merlin, his state of mind has undergone some fundamental changes, but what are the consequences of these changes?

How to say it specifically? He didn't know. Maybe it was love, but this kind of love was incompetent, because Merlin himself was also helping him. It was stupid to spend so much time cultivating the vessel, but people themselves are extremely

Stupid, irrational... But which of the stars left by mankind in history are the products of reason?

He stepped into the outer door of the long-lost Magic Academy and showed the letter containing the unique logo of Zaratul. The guard let him in without hesitation. The outer building was specially used to meet various alumni, and Zaratul put

It was understandable that he would make an appointment at a place like this. He is no longer a member of his [Natural History Society], so naturally he can no longer go back to the research room to speak freely with the students.

I wonder if that old guy is strong now? Rune magic is like a ball of flame. In essence, the existence of time is also the manifestation of rune magic in the world. People are completely melted under the flame of time. This

It is an indisputable fact. When he walked into the conference room, the old man wearing a black rag robe was sitting at the eastern end of the oval conference table with his legs crossed. His face was covered by a beak-shaped mask.

, just like a priest performing ancient rituals.

"It's really you." Zaratul's voice buzzed inside the mask, "You're back. I thought that child was your illegitimate child at first."

"After so many years, it's time for you to change your clothes." Sheldon put the box in his hand on the table and sat down across from Zaratul generously, "Teacher, I'm here to see you."

"I really can't understand, after so many years, what kind of wind brought you here?" Zaratul took off the mask on his face. His face was full of wrinkles, and his two eyeballs were

As if all his life's wisdom was condensed into it, "Besides, this is the fourth set."

"Really..." Sheldon pursed his lips, "I can't go back, I'm sorry. So, this is a request on my behalf."

"Are you still a member of the Merlin Cult?" The wrinkles on Zaratul's face suddenly shrank, "But there is no way for people from the Merlin Cult to leave the Holy Land of Merlin."

Sheldon then told him what he saw and heard in the Merlin Cult, as well as the recent changes within the Cult, as well as his mission during this trip. His current identity does not belong to the Merlin Cult, but he has thousands of connections with the Merlin Cult.

Inextricably linked, because the contemporary Merlin grew up under his care.

"So, you are now considered a so-called 'non-staff'?" Zaratul yawned. When he saw him appearing in front of him in this capacity, he was very disappointed, "Sure enough, you can no longer change.

I'm back. I actually still believed it for seven or eight years. You have to know that your research back then was the most creative."

"This generation of Merlin... will have their souls emptied out and used as a container to carry power for Charlie to use." Sheldon covered his head in pain, "I don't know what is going on in the church now.

What are you thinking about?"

Zaratul snorted disdainfully: "Putting the cart before the horse! The soul is the source of everyone's power! But I have heard that the old immortal thing in your church wants to take over Merlin's body. I don't know if it is true.

of."

Sheldon clenched his fists in surprise: "It's really time for me to make up my mind. The things I brought today are my notes on raising Merlin over the past few years. I hope you can take a look."

"Looking at your appearance, you probably want to betray the Merlin Cult." Zaratul raised his eyebrows. With his IQ, it was impossible not to see what the other party wanted to say, "As for the non-attribute magic power,

Do you have any idea?"

"This is no longer important..." Sheldon said slowly, "This requires a very thorough mastery of magic, and it requires at least three magic patterns or above to be able to do it. Moreover, in

Nothing in the world can compare with Merlin's power."

"Don't speak so mysteriously..." Zaratul said, "I am no longer a master-student relationship with you."

What Sheldon said next made Zaratul choke: "Merlin absorbed the entire power of the [Original Rune], and his soul received the blessing of Lux, the world tree, and gained the power to affect time.

.Physically speaking, he is seven or eight years old, and he recently received a twig of the World Tree as a

The wand, the name of the wand is called 'Flower Wand', it has the power of 'everlasting' and 'miracle transmission', and the vitality in the World Tree will also cause the surrounding land to grow flowers uncontrollably. Except for Merlin

, no one can use the power of the wand anymore...what else do you want to know?"

"This... this!" Zaratul's eyes almost popped out, "I don't believe it! No one in this world has ever been able to touch time! Even the concept of time has not been understood yet.

Proof, why do you say it is like a child's toy, manipulated! No one has ever been able to prove the existence of Didamo...no one yet! Absorb the power of an entire [Original Rune],

Are you crazy! How could it be! This is no longer something that can be described by one or two magic lines, nor can it be described by ten or eight..."

Sheldon shook his head and said: "This is a fact. Moreover, his soul still depends on a very powerful nightmare. In fact, this child's body has been integrated with the nightmare. He no longer belongs to human beings. I saw him

He can control time to go backwards and release spells without using magic. He does not have any affinity with magic attributes. In short, he is like a high-level magic adjustment center."

"How do you expect me to believe you!" Zaratul suddenly muttered, "I...I'm just an old man. I haven't accepted a disciple for a long time."

"My value to the Merlin Cult is just to raise this child." Sheldon said sadly, "During this period of time, I roughly understood what love is."

Zaratul spat excitedly: "Oh! You are talking about love in front of me! What qualifications do you have!"

"I will die." Sheldon said, "The fact that I came to you means that I am ready to die."

"Why?" Zaratul was speechless, "Why did you die?"

"I hope you can take a look at the contents of this box." Sheldon pushed the box over, and Zaratul opened it without any hesitation, took out the information inside, and read it eagerly, "

I feel...Merlin deserves to be free. Not just for my selfish reasons, but for his power..."

Zaratul murmured: "Merlin swallowed up an entire city of people back then, but this Merlin... is actually even more evil than him..."

"My duty is only to raise Merlin, and I hope you can teach him knowledge that will be useful to him." Sheldon said, "I know that once I embark on this path, I will definitely die, but from a certain perspective

In a sense, I can't just abandon him like this."

"But you abandoned me! After you came back, you said such 'irrelevant' things to me..." Zaratul's face turned red as he looked at the physical fitness test reports and the extremely detailed

Parenting records, "None! Not relevant! Important! Important!"

"So, this is my personal request." Sheldon whispered, "The stars will shine."

"But it's also very hot!" Zaratul hammered the table so hard that a vein popped up on his forehead. He was engaged in a strong psychological struggle. After a few seconds, his psychological struggle ended in failure. He

He can't be cruel... In his eyes, once Sheldon becomes his student, he will be his student for life! No one can take him away! But this kind of person...

.I am very unwilling! I am not willing to accept it!

"Get out of here!" Zaratul bit his lower lip, "What I hate the most is people like you!"

Sheldon stood up, bowed deeply to him, turned around and walked out. Before he could take two steps, he was called back by Zaratul: "What are you still doing...

Lilac Street?"

Sheldon quickly responded: "Yes...yes."

"Wait for my letter, and don't fail to reply like the previous one." Zaratul wiped the corners of his eyes heavily with the second knuckle of his index finger, "You can... go.

"
