43. Grow two heads(1/2)
Merlin opened the door with a large bag of things in her arms, but at first glance she saw Elsa sitting on the sofa. She was holding a bowl of cereal porridge and a spoon, feeding Raven, who seemed to have just woken up.
"Come on, little guy, open your mouth."
Elsa brought a spoonful of cereals to Riven's mouth, who blinked and looked at Elsa with a cold look on her face. She neither opened her mouth nor spoke.
However, compared to the previous blue and black cloak and black onesie dress, Riven was forced to wear a loose pajama at this time, with anthropomorphic black moon and stars printed on the pajamas. Her soft long hair was also turned into two ponytails by Elsa. If it were just an image, Riven looked like the posture that an 11-year-old should have.
Coupled with her slightly pale face and lips, she looked cute and sick.
"Be good, open your mouth to eat!"
Seeing that Riven was not cooperating, Elsa's tone did not change, and she still felt very gentle. She said:
"Children should have a good meal, otherwise they won't grow taller, open their mouths!"
Riven ignored her, and the child's eyes turned behind Elsa. She looked at Merlin, who was holding food and some clothes, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her blue eyes.
"You brought me here?"
"right."
While opening the refrigerator and putting the food he bought into the refrigerator, Merlin put the clothes he bought from the supermarket on the coffee table with gravity. He said to the angrily Riven without looking back:
"Do you still remember what happened before?"
"I only remember that I went to the dock with you and faced San'an, who casts spells, allowing me to absorb the power seeds I carry with me."
Ruiwen raised her hand and rubbed her forehead weakly, she said:
"In theory, the integration of so many fragments will cause the power in my body to become unbalanced and cause very bad things. But I am still here now, you are still alive, and there is no trace of destruction in the whole city, so, I guess, after I lost consciousness, a lot of things must have happened."
"Tell me, Merlin."
Ruiwen said to Merlin in a tough tone:
"Tell me what the hell is going on!"
The little girl Riven's expression of questioning can still put some pressure on people, but Merlin didn't care at all. He sat next to Elsa with a discouraged look, reached out to take the bowl and spoon in Elsa's hand, and said to Raven:
"The 'original sin' in your body is activated."
"You have become strong, arrogant, and arrogant, like a black queen. You are still chasing me and saying you want to destroy the city."
A trace of fear flashed in Riven's eyes. She subconsciously reached out and touched the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead like an ornament. She said:
"What happened to this crystal later? And why am I so weak?"
"Bang"
The bowl full of food was placed in front of Riven. Merlin placed the spoon next to the bowl and said to Riven:
"Want to know? Then have a good meal."
"Also, Elsa cleans your body, changes her clothes, and takes care of you all the time. Are you just repaying her with that attitude? Didn't the high priest of Azaras and your mother teach you the basic principles of communicating with others?"
"you"
Riven looked at the food in front of her, and a hint of anger jumped in her beautiful eyes. She raised her head and looked at Merlin with a stubborn look on her face.
"No one dared to treat me like this before!"
She said:
"Are you going to bully me while I'm weak?"
"You can think so."
Merlin leaned against the sofa with her arms held her back and looked at Riven and said:
"But I'm just correcting your wrong behavior, Riven, little girl. I don't want you to become an anti-social person when you grow up."
"Don't think that if we have a friendly conversation together, you have the right to interfere in my life!"
Raven screamed:
"I'm not your sister! I hate you, Merlin!"
"Okay, stop making noise."
Elsa stood up and stood between Merlin and Riven, and she said to Merlin:
"You go back to your room! You are 30 years old and you still have a fight with a little girl. You see, she is almost crying."
"This is a matter between us brother and sister."
Merlin said unmovedly:
"I promised others to take good care of her, but she must first accept the fact that Riven has at least been around for a while before you recover from illness. You have to stay at home and learn to get along with others."
"You don't have to worry about it!"
Riven gritted her teeth and jumped off the sofa with her hands, but only took one step, and the weak she fell to the ground with a scream.
When the Supreme Master sealed the original sin, he also cleared away the darkness and sacred power that already existed in Riven's body.
According to the boss, this child will take at least half a year to recover. And as long as her forehead is sealed, it will be difficult for her to return to the level of the previous type of killing people and the Buddha blocking them.
To be honest, Merlin doesn't think this is a bad thing.
For a girl like Riven, who is immature in her mind, having such terrifying power will only aggravate her sense of alienation from society.
But if a child breaks away from others' lives as a child, then when she grows up, she will inevitably not be able to integrate into this world. She will become a freak who is afraid, disgusted by others, and she will also disgusted with society and others.
That's not what Merlin wants to see.
His and Riven’s lives are twins, and no one can deny their connection. He has the responsibility to guide Riven’s life on the right track.
"Ouch, my little pitiful."
Elsa watched Riven fall, and the sympathetic woman hurriedly reached out and picked Riven up.
Riven struggled in her arms, but was eventually picked up by Elsa and placed on her lap.
Elsa glared at Merlin fiercely. While comforting Riven in a low voice, she picked up the bowl on the table, and spooned the food with a spoon and put it into Riven's mouth.
Riven was still a little embarrassed, but the coma and the disappearance of strength all night did make her hungry. She finally opened her mouth and swallowed the spoon of food.
She looked up and saw Merlin leaning against the sofa looking at her with a gentle look.
This made Riven's cheeks flush. The girl snorted, turned her head to the side, and ignored the annoying Merlin.
Seeing this scene, Merlin shook his head, he stood up with a smile, exchanged glances with Elsa, and then, as if nothing had happened, walked into his underground alchemy room.
Obviously, it will take some time to adapt to each other in order to achieve friendly communication with Riven, and the child is like a hedgehog.
The habit of anxiety and loneliness made her unbearable intimacy with others.
The heavy past and the threat from Sanguchi were in my heart, making it difficult for her to have real friends.
Merlin could imagine that although Riven has lived in the Azaras world for the past 10 years, even in that world with highly developed spiritual civilization, Riven probably has few sincere friends and has even communicated with others.
"What a poor kid."
Merlin closed the basement door, sat on his cushion, and took out the black magic book that the Supreme Master gave him from his pocket.
Like other magic books in the Holy Holy Place, this magic book has fine chains to tie the book style. On the front of the magic book, there is also an arc interlaced, similar to the pattern of the eyes, which means that this book is one of the powers of the secret legend of Kama Taj.
However, although this book is so heavy, there is only one magic recorded inside it.
Just from the obscure symbols on this page, you can see the difficulty of learning such super-level magic. Merlin estimated that it may take him a month or even several months to truly understand the principles of super-level magic. As for truly mastering it, a year may not be enough.
And this super-level magic has a name that is unknown.
"Hoggs's Ancient Body"
Merlin opened the pages and, under the illumination of two light curses, he flipped to the place he had not finished reading the last time. He looked at the complex mana model in front of him and said softly:
"Let me see what surprises you can bring to me."
—
"Bang"
A document was thrown on the table.
Several photos inside were leaked out of the folder during the slap. The ones were the Mr. Chief, the lower leader of Hydra, and of course, were photos after his death.
It sounds too sensational to cut off your neck.
But what makes people feel even more frightened is that except for four of the most loyal gunmen under the chief, who died of accidental falls, the rest of them died of long jumps until exhausted.
No matter how you look at it, it all looks like a murder case involving evil magic.
"Furo"
The mysterious gentleman with his back to the window looked at the photos on the table. He leaned on the comfortable office sofa with some fatigue, looked up at the ceiling, and a tangled feeling rose from his heart.
"Merlin Riley."
The mysterious man stretched out his hand and took out the cigar from the drawer. As a person with status, reputation and power, he had to pay attention to his image all the time. Therefore, he would hide in the office and use the cigar to release some pressure only when he was in a bad mood or was extremely tired.
Mr. Mysterious Man is not a person who indulges in love with others. To this day, he still maintains the style of some soldiers. Although he occasionally uses some tricks, more often, he is more accustomed to using open methods to solve various problems.
This also made him very good reputation in his very high-end circle.
