45. Blood of Bloodstone

"Miss Elsa's vitality is strange, Master Merlin."

In the hall of the mysterious house, Xuanlan checked Elsa's condition while saying to Merlin and the two little girls:

"She was frozen by the cold force that burst out from her body. This freezing is not only on the physiological level, but also on the will level. It's so strange, this sudden burst of power."

Xuanlan raised her head, she looked at Meilin, and she asked:

"Is Miss Elsa a mutant?"

"No, she probably isn't."

Merlin sat on the sofa, holding a golden pocket watch in his hand, and he said:

"There has never been a mutant in her family, and she should not have the genes of mutants. However, a few days ago, she was hit by an energy that could faintly modify reality. I suspect that it was that energy that changed Elsa's existence and gave her this new power."

“Modify the reality?”

Xuanlan asked seriously:

"Can you be sure? Master Merlin, as far as I know, to reach the level of modifying reality, the energy required is astronomical."

"I'm sure, Lan."

Merlin whispered:

"Because I was also hit by that energy, the stable 'isolation' at the original will level suddenly shattered, so fast that it was unreasonable. I was also affected by that power, and there was more than me."

"A mutant's steel claws were given the extra ability to gather high temperatures, and several mutants were erased with activated abilities. Some of my subordinates still have embers of energy left in their bodies, and those energy is subtly changing their physical fitness."

"I thought Elsa had escaped the influence of that power by chance, but now it seems that she is not that lucky."

"Is there a way to awaken Elsa now?"

Riven, who was sitting next to Merlin, looked at Elsa lying flat in front of everyone. She had a good relationship with Elsa, and she asked:

"Is there a way to isolate the effects of this cold force?"

“It’s hard.”

The knowledgeable Xuanlan did not hide it. She said frankly and directly:

"The cold that erupted from her body shackled her consciousness. Unless we can strip away this power of unknown nature, it is difficult for us to awaken her from the ice. This power of unknown nature, rashly intervening and attempting to strip it may trigger its instinctive counterattack, which may worsen Miss Elsa's situation again."

"So, can't we do anything except wait now?"

Merlin asked in a low tone:

"Will she be in danger?"

Xuanlan shook her head and said:

"This is what I want to tell you and the two ladies. Although this power shows a certain aggression, it essentially belongs to Miss Elsa. We don't need to worry that she will be hurt by her own power, especially in this sleepy state. As long as the outside world does not intervene too much, her condition will be very stable."

"In fact, in this internal frozen state, Miss Elsa seemed to be isolated from the flow of time, and she could exist in her current state for a long time."

Xuanlan pushed her monocle glasses, and she said to Meilin:

“This gives us enough time to find a cure for her.”

"This power comes from the .m's artificial cube."

Merlin grabbed the pocket watch in his hand and said in a cold tone:

"Maybe there are ways to reverse it,"

"It's hard, master."

Xuanlan glanced at Elsa, who was emitting cold air around her, like a sleeping beauty, and she said:

"According to my understanding of energy transformation, this transformation that essentially changes the form of life existence rarely has a way to reverse it. According to the current technology level of the earth, even if the group of evil people make that man-made Rubik's Cube, they may not be able to completely break the secret of that thing, let alone use it flexibly."

"Sister Elsa, can't she wake up?"

Lorna grabbed Merlin's hand with a sad face, and she said:

"Brother, can you help her?"

"I will."

Merlin reached out and patted Lorna on the head, and he said:

"I will, she will definitely get better, don't worry."

“Elsa has relatives.”

Riven, who was sitting on the other side of Merlin, whispered:

"She has a mother, we might have to tell Mrs. Bloodstone about this."

"I'll do it."

Merlin stood up, he stretched out his hand and hugged Elsa in his arms, and he said to Xuanlan:

"Lock the coordinates of any door in Europe, outside of Marseille, France, where there is a manor where Elsa was born."

"Um."

Xuanlan followed Meilin to the door. Xuanlan knocked on the door, then reached out and twisted the door lock. Outside the door, there was a land shining with sunshine. It was a manor, like a big garden, full of all kinds of flowers, colors, and competition.

Merlin took a deep breath and walked into the earth in front of him. Deep in the garden, on a recliner, a lady with a very similar family dress and long yellow hair was sitting on the recliner, reading a book in the sun, and two hunting dogs were also lazily lying beside the hostess, basking in the sun.

When Merlin walked into the garden, the two dogs raised their heads keenly, and they made attacking gestures and let out a low roar.

"Be good."

The lady who was reading the book was disturbed. She put down the book and gave a dissatisfied command. The two hounds immediately squatted on the ground obediently, obviously well-trained.

Mrs. Bloodstone looked up and looked at the person walking into the garden. She saw Elsa in her arms, her daughter who had been away from home for several years.

The lady's expression turned pale at this moment.

The book in her hand fell on the ground, she stood up and looked at Merlin, who hurriedly explained:

"Madam, Elsa is still alive."

"Um?"

Only then did Mrs. Bloodstone stabilize her body. She quickly walked forward and took her daughter from Merlin's arms. The cold aura emitted from Elsa made Mrs. Bloodstone, the authentic witch hunter, frown.

She asked:

“quest-ilarrivéà mafille?”

“??”

Merlin couldn't help but reach out and rub the forehead. Elsa's mother was a Frenchman, and he didn't understand French.

Mrs. Bloodstone had realized this problem and asked again:

"My daughter, what's wrong?"

"Elsa was infected by unknown energy in a previous operation, and her body was frozen, but she was not in danger of her life."

Merlin explained:

"We are looking for ways to awaken her, and we will definitely find it."

“Is it energy infected?”

Mrs. Bloodstone nodded. As a genuine witch hunter, she was no stranger to this situation.

In the history of the witch hunter, many witch hunters have suffered the same situation as Elsa, the most famous of which is the legendary witch hunter White Wolf. He suffered fatal injuries during an operation in the 3rd century AD and fell into a state of fake death. At that time, his confidantes thought he was dead.

But a few years later, Geralt, the White Wolf, miraculously resurrected and gained another sorcerer girlfriend in the adventure of amnesia.

Ms. Bloodstone could also feel that her daughter in her arms was indeed alive, but she was in a special state and could not wake up.

"Who are you? Young man."

Mrs. Bloodstone stroked her daughter's long hair and asked:

"You seem to be very close to my daughter. Let me think, you should be Merlin, her boss and friend, right?"

"Yes, I'm Merlin."

Merlin nodded, and he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I failed to take good care of your daughter, and I am ashamed of my commitment to Mr. Ulysses."

"My husband?"

Mrs. Bloodstone asked in confusion:

"Have you seen him?"

"Mr. Ulysses had entrusted the White Wolf to bring me a letter, he was tracking the dangerous vampire ancestor Dracula to complete the mission of the Bloodstone family. He entrusted me to take care of Elsa and hide news about Dracula from her."

Merlin said frankly:

"He is still alive, please rest assured."

“Ulysses”

Mrs. Bloodstone shook her head and said:

"It's really uneasy. My Elsa is exactly as stubborn as her father. She has been determined to become an excellent witch hunter since she was a child. But she never thinks about her poor mother."

The lady sighed and said to Merlin:

"You go first, Mr. Merlin, I can't entertain you anymore. In the current situation, I must call my friends to start preparing the transformation ceremony for Elsa."

"Um?"

Merlin frowned, and he looked at Mrs. Bloodstone and said:

"In this case, should Elsa continue the transformation ritual? I am worried that the pain of the body mutation will stimulate the energy entrenched in Elsa's body, which may have worse consequences."

"No, no."

Mrs. Bloodstone said confidently:

"The mutation transformation of the witch hunter is full of pain and even cruel, but in addition to shaping the extraordinary body, it also has an additional effect. No matter how difficult the curse is, how complicated the deformation curse, or the current dilemma formed by this energy infestation, it will be solved in the process of the original body transforming into the extraordinary body."

"Mr. Merlin, you may not know that many witch hunters in history did not voluntarily become witch hunters. They just needed to rely on this ritual of reshaping their bodies to help them get rid of their shackles, but this did not prevent them from becoming extremely excellent witch hunters in the end."

She looked at her daughter and said:

"If the new power in her body is kind, then it will help my daughter through this. If it is malicious, then this ritual will help Elsa get rid of this energy."

"I still think this is too risky."

Merlin said:

"But what you said makes sense. The first half of the mutation ritual does 'open' the human body's potential. In theory, it does have the power to free ordinary people from curses or constraints. But the success rate of the bloodstone family's mutation ritual is said to be only 50%?"

"Have she even told you this?"

Mrs. Bloodstone shook her head and said:

"Yes, only 50%, but this is the fate of the witch hunter. Elsa spent the first half of her life preparing for this ceremony. I believe my daughter can survive it."

"So maybe, you should let me give it a try."

Merlin took out the portable wooden door from her pocket and inserted the key into it. He said to Mrs. Bloodstone:

"Please follow me. In addition to being an agent, I am also a wizard. Before, some of my companions and I made changes to the witch hunter's mutation ritual, and we increased the success rate of transformation to 100%, but at the cost, those who accept the mutation will suffer several times more pain, and I also have some materials to prepare in advance to allow Elsa to spend the most difficult time."

"Um?"

Mrs. Bloodstone looked at Meilin with a suspicious look. After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and handed her unconscious daughter to Meilin. Then she walked to the tool cabinet beside the garden, reached out and grabbed it gently, and two long swords decorated with roses fell into her hands.

A steel sword, a silver sword.

She carried the two swords behind her, took out a silver crossbow and a belt similar to an ammunition bag from the tool box, then turned her head and said to Merlin:

"Then let's go."

Obviously, this lady was not as trusted as her daughter, and she trusted Merlin 100%.

But Merlin didn't care.

He pushed open the door and made a "please" gesture to Mrs. Bloodstone. The latter walked slowly into the door like a rumored French lady under the umbrella of the rumor.

Merlin held Elsa like that when she was Tathagata, followed her. The door slowly closed and then disappeared into the garden of the Bloodstone Manor.

"Elsa!"

Lorna, who was waiting for the result in a mysterious room, heard footsteps. She turned her head suddenly and saw Mrs. Bloodstone walking into the room. She looked at Mrs. Bloodstone's face that was very similar to Elsa. The child immediately subconsciously called Elsa's name.

"Idiot, that's not Elsa."

Riven could see the difference between Mrs. Bloodstone and Elsa at a glance. Their mother and daughter's faces were somewhat different, and Mrs. Bloodstone's traditional and cumbersome hairstyle was not something Elsa who yearned for freedom.

"Lan, get ready for the bio cabin!"

Meilin said to the butler Xuanlan:

"We are going to conduct a mutation transformation ceremony for Elsa immediately. Mrs. Bloodstone believes that this ceremony will awaken Elsa from her sleep. In addition, prepare a comfortable and clean room for Mrs. Bloodstone, and she will live here for the next week until Elsa fully awakens."

"What a cute two little girls."

The Bloodstone Madam saw Lorna and Riven at first sight. A trace of unconcealed love flashed across her face. She walked to the two children. She looked at the well-behaved Lorna and the cold Riven, and she said:

"It reminds me of Elsa who is still a child. She was so cute and so well-behaved at that time, Merlin."

Mrs. Bloodstone touched Lorna's hair, she turned around and looked at Merlin who was holding her daughter, and she said:

"When Elsa called me before, she kept talking about you, which made me curious, what is the relationship between you and my daughter?"

"us"

Merlin looked at Elsa in his arms, and sighed slightly, saying:

"At present, still friends."

“Currently?”

Mrs. Bloodstone savored these words, and she nodded and stopped talking.

After a moment, the creature cabin was ready, Merlin put Elsa in her underwear into the creature cabin. He looked at the girl lying in the creature cabin. He stroked the pocket watch in his hand, then leaned down and said in Elsa's ear:

"Stronger, Elsa, I'm here."

"I'll wait for you."
