Chapter 702 Fat Old Man Gut
Meilin jumped off the head of the three-headed demon dragon, and a strange sound came from his ear. He looked in the sound and soon saw a chubby old man.
"Um?"
When Meilin saw this chubby old man, although time had passed, he still could not forget it. The dusty memory broke out like a flood, filling Meilin's mind.
He still remembered that there was a little fat Gut who was a "best friend". On the eve of the control of Blackwater City by the Church of Light, the little fat Gut also helped Wilson Castle.
“古特……”
A smile appeared between the corner of Meilin's mouth. His childhood playmate, the fat Guter, has now become a staggering and chubby old man.
“梅林,真的是你!”
The fat old man Guter, but now he didn't know what to say, nor did he expect that the first time he parted, it took decades, and when he met again, he was on such an occasion.
Merlin waved his hand, and the knights naturally dared not rob Gut anymore. Merlin now has a high status in the Black Moon Kingdom, and even the king of the Black Moon Kingdom does not have such prestige.
Guter looked at Meilin, but was not shocked. Instead, he laughed and said calmly: "Melin, you have finally returned to Hei Shui City now. It is my wish to see you before you die. When you left Hei Shui City, I even thought that we would never meet again..."
Facing his childhood friend, although Guter's tone was calm, his earnest gaze could not hide his inner excitement and excitement.
"I'm back, Gut, I said, I'll definitely come back!"
After saying that, Meilin took a step forward and gently supported Gut. This chubby old man was a little fat man at the time. Now he is bloated and looks much older. He needs to be supported by someone to move steadily.
"Let's go, come with me to the Wilson Castle and have a look."
Meilin's eyes flashed, looking at the castle, and his mood seemed very complicated. When he came to this world, it was in this castle that in the blink of an eye, so many things had already happened.
When I walked into the castle, Meilin discovered that the gardens in the castle seemed to be often maintained by people, without any confusion, just the small trees planted in front of me have grown into big trees that have now grown.
In the neatly renovated garden, there are many new varieties, exuding a faint fragrance.
“吱呀”.
Meilin pushed open the door that had been covered with dust for a long time. Everything in the castle seemed to be like when he left, with a spacious dining table and soft chairs. The castle did not seem to have been abandoned.
Seeing Merlin's shock, the old man Gut next to him smiled and said proudly: "After you left, I used some methods. I bought this castle from the Church of Light and kept it like this. I would send someone to sort it out every once in a while. Now it seems that it can be done."
Meilin gently stroked the white wall, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Thank you, Gut!"
"It should be, if you didn't leave, maybe I would have become your brother-in-law. By the way, Mei Xue and the Baron? Why haven't they come back?"
Merlin was a little surprised, and then he remembered that the little fat Guter was close to the Wilson family, especially Guter's Douglan family, who had always wanted to marry the Wilson family. There was a baron, and the Douglan family's business was much easier.
If there is no change, this may be possible.
Thinking of this, Meilin couldn't help but shake her head and felt funny. If Mei Xue knew she wanted to marry the fat little Guter who she had always looked down on, she wouldn't know what kind of expression she would have.
"They are still behind, and it will arrive in a while!"
Merlin knew that Old Wilson and Sherrys had not known how long they had been waiting for before they had the chance to return to Blackwater City. Therefore, when he received this news, although Old Wilson was already very old, he still insisted on returning to Blackwater City.
The journey from the Ice Snow Field to Hei Shui City is long, so it will take some time to return to Hei Shui City.
At Wilson Castle, Merlin looked at every room and cleaned it very clean. I believe that Old Wilson would be very happy when he came back. However, because of his bloated figure and old age, Guter followed Merlin around and was already out of breath and could not hold on.
"Old, Merlin, I am not like you, a spellcaster. Even if you have hundreds of years, you will be like this. And I am lucky to live for ten years..."
The fat old man Gut said helplessly that he knew the caster very well. After all, his family had businesses all over the world, and even in the Black Moon Kingdom, there was a Douglan family business.
Moreover, he knew his physical condition very well. Merlin could feel the vitality in Gutt, and was losing little by little. As Gutt himself said, it would be difficult for him to live for another ten years. He had been busy for most of his life for the Douglan family, but he was not an elemental swordsman. He was heartbroken and sad, so he naturally aged very quickly.
这点,连梅林也没有办法阻止.
"Okay, I've finished watching the castle, take me to your house to see it, and tell you your story."
Merlin also found that Gut was a bit extraordinary. He used to be just a small family in Hei Shui City. Although he was the richest man in Hei Shui City, he was not yet at the point where even the Church of Light was to win over.
Then, he followed the fat old man Gut back to his castle. I have to say that when Merlin first saw this castle, he even had an illusion that it was not a castle at all, but a palace.
实在是太奢华了!
There were countless servants in Gut's castle. After seeing Gut's safe return, many people relaxed. If Gut had any problems, they would not be able to explain to the Douglan family.
"Sir, have those heresy done you?"
One of the tall knights with red hair said in a deep voice.
"Bang".
Outside the castle, the three demon dragons stretched out their wings, and the three ferocious heads seemed to be playing with the guards of the castle. Seeing this terrifying monster, these guards had not escaped, which was already quite valuable.
Gut waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. That's my friend, Master Merlin's friend, don't mess with me!"
Then Guter smiled and said, "Merlin. Please come in, this is my castle!"
Merlin glanced at the knight next to Gut, and didn't care, so he followed Gut and entered the castle.
Then, Gut told his legendary story. When the Kingdom of Light was occupied by the Church of Light. After becoming the Holy Empire of Light, Gut slowly began to show his talent in business.
Relying on some family industries, the business began to grow slowly. Finally, it spread throughout the entire Holy Light Empire, and even obtained the title of Earl Canonized by the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire. Although it was just a false title, it was a noble after all, which many people could not get.
In just a few decades, the Douglan family became the largest commercial family in the entire Holy Light Empire, and even the world's largest business family. The family's business can even provide various materials for the Holy Light Empire.
No wonder. The Black Moon Kingdom will list the Douglan family as the target of cleaning up. This huge business family has a great effect on the Holy Light Empire.
"I didn't expect that Gut, you have such talent, and your experience can be regarded as a legend..."
Merlin was also happy about his friend's achievements. Although Gut's achievements are not worth mentioning compared to Merlin, they are already the limit that an ordinary person can achieve.
"grandfather!"
A beautiful little girl of seven or eight years old, wearing a golden braid, looked at Meilin with some fear.
"Come on, Merlin, this is my granddaughter, called Anti! Little Anti, call me Grandpa Merlin."
"Well……"
Meilin was stunned. Looking at Antie, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, he seemed to remember that he was now a "grandfather" person and even he himself had a grandson.
“梅林爷爷!”
Anti didn't care about this "grandfather" who looked a little young. She was picked up by Gut, but her big eyes dodged a little. She looked at Merlin and then outside.
"Grandpa Merlin, I have a request. Can you agree to Anti?"
"Oh? If you have any request, little Anti, say it, I will definitely agree!"
Merlin smiled. No one could refuse to see such a beautiful little girl as little Anti.
"I want to touch that big guy, but the guard said that big guy was Grandpa Meilin's."
Following the little Anti's gaze, Merlin saw the three-headed demon dragon outside. It turned out that the little Anti was referring to the three-headed demon dragon.
Merlin showed a smile between the corner of her mouth and asked softly: "That big guy is so scary, everyone else is afraid. Isn't Anti afraid?"
"Andy is brave and not afraid! Everyone looks fierce, but it must be pitiful. Grandpa Merlin, can I touch it?"
Merlin smiled. The three-headed demon dragon with a fierce reputation could be regarded as "poor" by a little girl.
However, seeing the expectant gaze of little Anti, Merlin nodded and said, "Yes, since little Anti is not afraid, I will take you to get close to everyone."
Seeing Gut seemingly worried, Merlin said calmly: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Then, Merlin took Anti and Gut to the three-headed demon dragon. The three-headed demon dragon's three-headed demon dragon gently rubbed against Merlin's body, which seemed very intimate.
Merlin said in a deep voice: "Don't hurt anyone here!"
The three-headed demon dragon nodded. Its IQ is very high, so naturally I can understand Merlin's orders. So Merlin took Little Anti to the head of the Three-headed demon dragon and said with a smile: "Little Anti, now you are friends with it, it will not hurt you."
Little Anti stroked the three-headed demon dragon excitedly, but due to Meilin's orders, the three-headed demon dragon did not dare to get angry, and could only look at Meilin with a "resentful" look. When did the dignified and ferocious monster Three-headed demon dragon become a "big pet" of a little human girl.
Little Anti had a great time having fun, and Guter also showed a knowing smile. Merlin could feel the satisfaction in Guter's heart, and he had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
Perhaps, Guter has no regrets in his life...
