31. Miss Magician--For the Great Arcanist Ellen [5/15](1/2)
"Where have you been there over the years? Are your kids okay?"
Meilin sat by the fireplace of the mysterious house, and warm flames were burning beside him. In the light of the fire, Meilin sat on the sofa, and Gugu, a big orange cat that had disappeared for several years, lay on his lap.
This cat is no different from before, it still looks harmless. Perhaps because of the temperature brought by the flames, Gugu felt a little drowsy. Its tail shaking and head hanging down at Meilin's hand, allowing Meilin to gently caress its neck.
This action made Gugu enjoy it, and he narrowed his eyes happily.
When facing Merlin's question, Gugu answered:
"Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow."
"You sent your children to another planet 3 years ago? And you were wandering among the stars?"
Merlin probably understood Gugu's answer. He grabbed Gugu's front paw with some dissatisfaction, lifted it into the air, and looked at it at him, and said:
"Then why don't you go home?"
"Meow!"
Gugu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and it made a slightly sharp chirp.
"Oh, you want to find where you were born? Where is there anything you need?"
Merlin looked at his cat and asked:
"Have you found it?"
The big orange cat shook its head. It broke free from Merlin's shaking its tail, swayed its head and landed lightly on the sofa on the other side, lay there, squinting its eyes leisurely.
This bastard cat doesn't seem to be able to find a place where he was born, but it doesn't seem to be lost.
"After you left, something happened at home."
Merlin said to Gugu, just like telling a family member who was far away from his hometown about the changes over the past few years, he said:
"Eric graduated from college and stayed there to study for graduate school. Charlie was admitted to the same university two years ago. They were really together. The two children were busy with their studies and rarely went home."
"Oh, I forgot, you don't know Charlie yet. You don't know Riven, and Lorna, Daisy, Matt thought so, so much happened in the time you guy left."
Merlin looked at the burning flames in front of him and said:
"The people you know, Harry and Ginny were married the year before yesterday, and with children, Ron and Hermione were always making noises. Carol went to the stars and has not even sent a letter back. Fury is still the same, living every day in his own conspiracy and plans with others, fighting wits and courage with everyone around him."
"Meow"
Gugu screamed in dissatisfaction.
Merlin glanced at it and said:
"You bastard, don't you care about them at all?"
Gugu ignored Meilin, probably because he thought Meilin was too noisy, so he simply put himself in a ball and covered his ears with his tail.
Seeing this scene, Merlin couldn't help but smile.
After all, Gugu is just a wild and hard-to-dressed bastard cat. It is a bit too hard for it to understand human emotions.
"Master Merlin."
Xuan Lan appeared next to Meilin like a ghost, and she reminded:
"In the outside world, it should be your time to get off work now. Your sister is knocking on your door. She seems to have something to talk to you."
"Um?"
Meilin glanced at the big redwood clock placed beside the wall of the mysterious house. The time was already pointing to 6:40 pm. He stood up and hugged the sleeping Gugu in his arms. Gugu did not resist, but moved his body and changed into a more comfortable position in Meilin's arms. While patting Meilin's arm with his tail, he continued to sleep loudly.
"Then I'll leave first."
Meilin said to Xuanlan:
"Look at Colson for me, and, is that red devil awake?"
"He woke up 12 hours ago."
Xuanlan said calmly:
"He has tried to escape from the mysterious house 159 times and is now doing the 160th time, but his understanding of space is too shallow. He can't break the dimensional anchor of the mysterious house fixed at the dimension level by relying solely on the instinct of jumping into space."
"very good."
Merlin nodded and said:
"Let him continue to try and keep him hopeful. I will come to see him again when he is desperate."
After saying that, he held his cat and walked towards the door of the hall.
The next moment, Merlin opened the door and saw Riven standing in front of his bedroom door, reaching out to try to knock on the door.
Merlin pushed her glasses and said to her sister with great relief:
"Is there anything?"
"Where were you before?"
Riven looked at Meilin suspiciously. She was a magical girl. She could easily feel that Meilin did not appear from the bedroom. He was not in the bedroom at all.
This guy hides some secrets that Riven doesn't know.
The girl's eyes fell on the cat in Meilin's arms the next moment. She stared at the sleeping fat orange cat in front of her, and she took a cautious step back.
Obviously, she recognized Gugu's true identity.
"Where did the Yuan-Devouring Beast come from this time? Why did you hold it in your arms?"
Ruiwen said a little nervously:
"Take it away quickly! It will swallow you and this house in one bite. Now I can't deal with a Yuan-Devouring Beast!"
"Oh, don't be nervous, girl."
Meilin stroked Gugu's smooth fur and said to Raven:
"This is Gugu, Kuma Gugu. It has lived here for a long time than you. This is its home. It has returned home and no one can drive it away."
"Do you treat a Yuan-Devouring Beast as a pet?"
Raven looked at Merlin with a madman look, and she said:
"Do you know that when the Yuan-Devouring Beast is so fierce that it can easily eat a city? The guns and bombs in your world cannot deal with it."
"That's not something Gugu can do, you have to believe me."
Merlin held the cat and walked to the end of the second floor stairs, then squatted down and cleaned it from the locker. The luxurious cat nest that Eric made for Gugu, and then put the sleeping Gugu in the nest.
He stood up and turned to Raven with his waist on his back:
"You also have to have a good relationship with Gugu, it's family. OK, don't bother Gugu, this poor guy just finished a star trip, it's very tired now, it needs a rest."
Merlin reached out and patted Riven on the shoulder, and he said:
"Let's go downstairs and say."
Ruiwen looked at Gugu who was lying in the cat's nest again. When she turned around, she saw the big orange cat who was sleeping in Meilin's arms with a lazy look on his face. He was awake at this time. It was squatting in its nest, looking at Ruiwen with a scrutiny look.
It was like looking at a creature that broke into his own territory.
That look is definitely not friendly
Riven, who lived in the Azax world, knew that creatures like the Yuan-Devouring Beast would wander among the stars throughout their lives. Their personality was unpredictable. While maintaining wildness, they also had certain wisdom. They occasionally swallowed the planet to satisfy their appetite. It is said that the Yuan-Devouring Beast is the pet of the terrifying god among the stars. Like their owners, they have an insatiable stomach sac.
For any planet or civilization, the fully grown Yuan-Devouring Beast is like a natural disaster. Although the Gugu in front of you is still in his childhood, it is also dangerous to the earth.
"I really don't know how Merlin tamed it."
Under Gugu's gaze, Ruiwen walked down the stairs step by step, and she whispered:
"I'm so curious, why didn't it eat Merlin when they first met?"
"Lorna, let the cartoon sound be lighter."
Merlin sat on the chair at the dining table and shouted to Lorna, who was lying on the sofa watching cartoons:
"Stop snacking, we're going to have supper later."
"oh"
Lorna responded, and the well-behaved girl picked up the remote control and turned the sound of the TV. Riven also sat on the chair beside Merlin. She took out a letter and said to Merlin:
"The 'Magic' is here in New York."
"So fast?"
Merlin was stunned for a moment and said to Raven:
"Didn't you ask you to make an appointment with her before meeting her for several days?"
“She said the stage magic troupe she was in temporarily decided to come to New York to perform.”
Ruiwen also said helplessly:
"This is a total emergency."
"You mean, let me see her on your behalf?"
