Chapter 19 Magic Codex
"Mei Xue?"
Merlin frowned and looked at the butler with a questioning look.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Master Meilin, it was Miss Meixue who found out by herself."
Mei Xue's face turned pale and she stared at Mei Lin. Mei Lin felt a headache for Mei Xue, because in Mei Xue's eyes, it seemed that Mei Lin was always the playboy who needed restraint.
Seeing Mei Xue open her mouth to speak, Mei Lin hurriedly grabbed Mei Xue's hand and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, go home and talk, get on the carriage first and leave."
Mei Xue was pulled into the carriage by Meilin. The housekeeper and Moss were both sitting outside the carriage and slowly left the church.
There was no cold wind in the carriage, which seemed much warmer, but the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull. Mei Xue stared at Mei Lin with her eyes fixed on her, wanting to speak but stopping, while Mei Lin looked calm.
After a long time, Meilin raised her head and looked at Mei Xue and said, "Ask, what do you want to ask?"
Mei Xue frowned, her expression seemed very complicated. After a long time, she spoke: "Is there any trouble?"
"The troubles have been dealt with almost all. After some time, the church members should go back to Gran City, and nothing will happen."
Merlin tried to state in a calm tone.
"It's fine. This matter involves the church. It's not a trivial matter. My father is not at home... So in recent times, you have tried to spend as little time as possible. I will also ask for leave for you with the Perot Swordsman, and I will say you are sick."
Mei Xue said in a serious tone. She knew very well that once things involved the church, even small things would turn into big things. She didn't know the whole story, but restraining Meilin and minimizing going out could avoid some trouble. This is the best way that Mei Xue could think of.
Merlin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I will stay in the castle during this period and will not go out."
He had the idea of concentrating on studying the old man Aita's magic note at home. Now Mei Xue comes out to explain the situation to the Perot swordsman, which can also avoid some trouble.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Wilson Castle. After Merlin and others returned to the castle, Merlin ordered the old housekeeper to say that in recent times, no matter who came to him, he would reply that he was not at home.
After explaining, Meilin went upstairs and returned to the room.
After resting for a while, Meilin carefully took out the hidden ring from the head of the bed. Looking at the ring, Meilin felt a sense of heat in her heart.
He thought of how small he seemed in the church before, in front of Jason. As long as Jason felt something was wrong with Merlin, he might have to die there.
The mage, the mages who master powerful magic, are the real strong men!
Meilin penetrated his mental power into the ring. With a thought, the thick spell note inside the ring appeared in Meilin's hand. However, Meilin did not rush to open the spell note. He gently placed the note on the desk, but instead studied the ring.
"Since you can put the spell note into the ring, then other things should be able to fit into the ring."
Meilin guessed in his heart that he was about to try it, so he took out the mysterious relief and touched the relief and the ring at the same time according to the way he took out the note.
"Swoosh".
The relief disappeared in a blink of an eye. Meilin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the ring with his mental power. Sure enough, the relief lay quietly inside the ring.
Seeing that the ring could indeed be put into other things, Meilin also felt slightly relieved. This relief was extremely mysterious, and it was safer to put it in the ring.
Then Merlin picked up the spell note and opened it gently. Although he had read it before, he was just surprised at that time and did not look carefully. Now Merlin is trying to interpret the contents in the note.
However, after only a few words, Merlin shook her head helplessly. Even though he had the information given by Old Man Aita as a reference and slowly understood it at a time, it had almost no effect and was very slow and had no effect at all.
Therefore, it is important to master Morta's text first, at least to basic mastery. This requires Merlin to master more than a thousand words in the next time before he can try to understand the contents of the spell letter.
So Merlin simply put the magic book notes back into the ring. As long as he did not master more than a thousand Morta words in a day, he would never take out the magic book notes.

In the hall inside the Wilson Castle, the butler walked in anxiously.
"Master Merlin, the guardian swordsmen who came from Gran City, have left Blackwater City this morning."
The housekeeper showed a smile on his face. He was ordered by Merlin to send someone to stare at the guardian swordsmen in Gran City. Once they left, they would report.
Merlin suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Butler, are the guardian swordsmen all gone? Is there anyone left? Especially the leader of Jason, has he left?"
The housekeeper replied: "All have left. The guardian swordsmen led by Lord Jason to pull out the three carriages. They heard that they were all moved out of the house of the evil heretic. Their group walked very slowly, but they had already left Hei Shui City in the morning. I also confirmed it again and again before returning."
"But, thank you for your hard work."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had not left the house for a while, he was still closely watching the movements of the guardian swordsmen from Gran City.
Only now that he was sure that they had really left, did he feel real relaxation.
"By the way, has anyone ever looked for me recently?"
Merlin asked the butler.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday, Young Master Anson and Young Master Guter came to find the Young Master, but they were bombarded by Miss Mei Xue."
Merlin smiled bitterly and shook her head, asking the butler to leave first.
However, Merlin did not take this matter seriously. Anson and Guter should have nothing important to do. Even if they were bombarded by Mei Xue, he could also learn Morta's words with peace of mind.
Without the disturbance of other things, Merlin learned Morta's writing very quickly. In just a few days, he mastered more than 100 words. Now he has mastered more than 300 words. And as he mastered more words, he will learn Morta's writing faster.
Because there are many correlations between these Morta characters, the hundreds of Morta characters at the beginning are very difficult, but the later you go, after you master enough Morta characters, you can learn from each other and master more Morta characters at a faster speed.
"At this speed, at most one month, I may be able to master more than a thousand words. At that time, I can start to try to read the contents of the magic letter."
Merlin is also looking forward to the arrival of that day as soon as possible.

The heat emitted from the burning fireplace warmed the entire hall. It was October and the weather was getting colder. A layer of ice crystals had faintly condensed on the bluestone floor outside, which was very slippery. The servants of the castle were also enduring the biting cold wind and were catching the time to remove ice on the ground with iron shovels.
In the hall, Meilin and Meixue were having a meal. The butter bread, wheat porridge and a cup of steaming milk were prepared on the table. Meixue glanced at Meilin, who was quickly eliminating the food on the table. A hint of hesitation appeared on her face, as if she was a little reluctant to speak.
"Mei Xue, I've finished eating."
Merlin used a white handkerchief to wipe the food residues left at the corner of her mouth, then stood up and turned around and left.
Mei Xue frowned and suddenly said, "Meilin, wait a moment."
"Is there something wrong?" Meilin turned around and looked at Mei Xue in confusion.
Mei Xue put down the knife and fork in her hand, wiped her mouth, and then said softly: "Meilin, Gut and Anson came to find you yesterday, why didn't you go out with them?"
A strange look appeared on Meilin's face. Meixue had never liked the little fat Guter and Ansen before, saying that they were Meilin's friends. Once she met her, she would definitely not have any good faces.
But Mei Xue's attitude was a little strange today, but Mei Lin did not think about it carefully, but said lightly: "It's okay for Ansen and Guter to look for me. The weather is so cold, so it's still comfortable in the castle."
"Merlin, you have been in the castle these days, for more than a month, so if you have time, go out and go out for a while."
Mei Xue's eyes actually showed a faint look of worry.
At this time, Meilin also reacted. It was thought that it was because he had not left the house for more than a month. Compared with the past, it was so abnormal that Meixue was worried. She thought that it was the last church incident that had had an impact on Meilin.
Thinking of this, Merlin showed a smile on her face and nodded, "I will go out if I have time."
After saying that, Meilin turned around and hurried upstairs. Meixue still frowned, and was a little worried about Meilin's situation. In the past, Meilin could not stay at home for a day.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then looked up and smiled and said, "Miss Mei Xue, although Young Master Meilin has not gone out much this month, he is still in good spirits and there should be no problems."
After hearing the butler's words, Mei Xue finally stretched her brows, put on a thick coat, and quickly left the castle.
****
Meilin hurried back to the room. He did not take Mei Xue's words to heart. As long as there was nothing particularly important, he would not leave the castle for the time being.
This is because he is now mastering more and more Morta vocabulary. So far, he has mastered more than 1,100 words, which is considered to be basically mastering Morta vocabulary.
So, today Merlin is about to start taking out Old Man Aita's spell note and study the contents.
After taking out the ring hidden at the head of the bed, Meilin quickly penetrated into the ring. With a thought, a thick stack of spell note appeared in Meilin's hands.
Merlin only briefly read this stack of spell note. Because he had limited Morta's text at that time, he did not know what was on it.
And now, Merlin finally opened the spell note again.
Chapter completed!
