"Merlin, I have a request."

Gut, who was a little tired, seemed to hesitate.

"Oh? Do you want me to let the Douglan family go?"

Merlin naturally guessed what Guter meant. To him, a business family was nothing. Moreover, the Douglan family had a great business influence. Since they could contribute to the church, they could also support the Black Moon Kingdom.

So he nodded and said, "At that time, I will let His Majesty Bhutto XVII enthrone you as the Marquis of the Black Moon Kingdom. I believe that with this title, it is enough to guarantee your family's status in the Black Moon Kingdom in the future!"

Gut was very excited, the Marquis, that was even bigger than the count he had been crowned by the Holy Light Empire. With Merlin's words, I believe that no one will settle the old accounts of the Douglan family in the future.

After all, with Gut's shrewdness, he had long known from the words of some spellcasters that his former friend Merlin had grown to what extent now.

"Thank you, Meilin, now only the descendants of my family are concerned about. With your words, I can rest assured. However, I think you should go and see your old friends."

"Old friend? Are you talking about Anson?"

Meilin recalled slightly that he still remembered the red-haired boy.

But Gut shook his head and said, "Anson is dead, he was killed by his elder brother for the title..."

Gut obviously didn't want to mention this matter anymore. Anson died, and Anson's family was also destroyed due to a war. Seeing his friend die, Gut was naturally very sad.

Meilin looked at it very casually. Ordinary people only had decades of time. If he hadn't returned to Hei Shui City this time, he would have been back in a few years, and he would have been dead.

"It's not Anson, but Mrs. Kellys! I don't know what happened to you, but after you left Blackwater City, Mrs. Kellys has never married and finally inherited the Mandy family. Although she has never mentioned you, I know that whenever I recall something about you, her eyes will be bright..."

Listening to Gut's words, Merlin gradually recalled the incident with Kellys. He had only met a few times in a hurry, but Kellys was very important to Merlin, because it was Kellys who brought Merlin to meet Old Man Aita. After that, Merlin embarked on the path of a spellcaster.

Otherwise, Merlin would not have the chance to contact the caster at all, nor would he have the chance to contact the spell.

However, I didn't expect that after so many years, people who didn't even have much impression of him would wait for him for decades.

"Where is she?"

After a long time, Meilin asked.

"In Mandy Castle in Blackwater City, she was seriously ill. I'm afraid she can't last for a few days..."

Guter wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighing.

Outside the castle, Little Anti was happily playing with the "big pet" of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon. The guards looked at Little Anti with a wry smile. They did not dare to get close to the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, so they could only let Little Anti make various "dangerous" actions on the terrifying Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

Gut is old. But little Anti's life has not begun yet. This is a cycle of reincarnation for ordinary people...

****

It was late at night, but an uninvited guest came outside the ancient castle. The plum forest in black robe seemed to have completely merged into the night in the night without alarming anyone. He flew into Mandy Castle silently.

His mental power swept away and he immediately knew Kelly's room.

"Ahem".

A burst of rapid cough came from the room, and then the maid was busy and seemed to serve Mrs. Kellys to sleep before leaving the room.

No one noticed it, and the door quietly opened. Kellys, who had just fallen asleep, said in a hoarse voice: "Betty, didn't you tell you to go down and rest? I don't need to stare at me, it's okay..."

Kellys's face was pale, with white hair hanging on her shoulders. Due to the disease, she looked particularly haggard. This was an old man who looked terminally ill.

After waiting for a while, there seemed to be no movement. Kellys frowned, turned around, and opened her eyes gently. At that moment, her mind was blank, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.

She had dreamed of this figure many times, and this time it seemed like it was in a dream.

"Kellys!"

However, unlike in my previous dreams, this time, the other party spoke, his voice a little cold, but it excited Mrs. Kellys.

"You... are you Merlin?"

At this time, Kellys finally realized that this was not in a dream. Merlin was back. However, when she saw Merlin's appearance, she seemed to feel unreal.

"I'm back, I've just been to Gut, and I heard him mention some of your situation..."

Speaking of this, Merlin didn't speak anymore. He could feel that Kelly's condition is very bad now, and his vitality is passing very seriously. Even, this should be a dead person, but he is still alive now, as if it is because of his persistent belief.

Kellys stared at Merlin all the time, and there seemed to be a force gushing out of her body again, supporting her half lying on the bed. Merlin gently supported Kellys. After a long time, she smiled and said, "I knew for a long time that you must have become very extraordinary when you became Mr. Aita's disciple. Mr. Aita was the spellcaster at the beginning. You also became the spellcaster because of Mr. Aita, right?"

Merlin nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for Teacher Aita, I wouldn't have become a spellcaster. Maybe I'd have lived my life like Gut."

"It's nothing to live your life like this. I'm very satisfied to see you in the end. Gut lives a good life..."

Kellys kept talking, as if he had endless things to say with Merlin, just talking about some interesting things over the years.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and a sweet smile appeared on Kellys' face. Her breath became weaker and weaker. She stretched out her withered hands and gently held Meilin. Her rough skin was no longer as tender as a girl.

"call……"

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window, tugging Meilin's hair, but he didn't feel a trace of coldness, but he felt indescribable in his heart.

Kellys's hand had already dropped, and she had no vitality on her body. Just now, she had died unknowingly, but she was so peaceful before she died.

The life of ordinary people is as short as candlelight, and it has been a few decades. However, a peaceful life is what most people dream of. Perhaps Old Wilson and Sherry will do this in the future, and die with a smile and satisfaction.

At this moment, Merlin seemed to feel even more lonely inside. The loneliness that only the caster could feel was slowly gnawing on his heart and returning to Hei Shui City. The excitement of returning to Hei Shui City had completely disappeared, leaving only an indescribable feeling of loneliness, as if there was nothing else worth his nostalgia in this world.

Blackwater City is his initial beginning, and perhaps this is also his end in this world!

Merlin gently covered Kellys with a quilt and quietly retreated from Mandy Castle. No one knew. The wind outside the castle was very strong, and a faint candlelight shot out from the castle, and the trees outside the castle castle cast a bunch of black shadows.

"rustle".

The breeze blew the big trees, and Meilin walked alone on the dark road outside the castle. The faint lights were gradually no longer illuminating the road, and the darkness drowned Meilin's figure.

Suddenly, Meilin stopped and said in a calm tone: "Since you have arrived, why should you hide it? Come out!"

In the quiet night, the voice of Merlin spread to the surroundings with the breeze...
