19. Bad news(1/2)
In the early morning, the stubborn biological clock awakens Merlin at a specific time.
He opened his eyes, and the window was still a little dim, and dawn had not yet arrived. On the other side of his body, Elsa was still asleep. After a long journey, she was a little tired. The long separation last night spent her energy.
A smile appeared on Merlin's lips, and he stood up quietly without disturbing Elsa's dream.
In the dark, Merlin changed his clothes, washed up and came to the living room. She sat alone on the sofa and continued to read his magic book. Until 7:30, he put down the magic book and came to the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the family with quick hands and feet.
In just a few minutes, the salad made of diced fruits and yogurt, fried eggs and toasted bread were placed on a plate and served on the dining table.
"You are in a good mood."
After going to the dentist, Frank, a pet dog with a row of braces on his teeth, lay at Merlin's feet with disdain on his face. He snorted:
"Is it because of last night's mating that made you happy? You should be chasing Ms. Carol, Merlin..."
"Maybe we can ignore this now."
Merlin took a small piece of beef from the refrigerator and threw it to Frank, who jumped into the air and rolled around for a week, accurately holding the food.
Merlin hugged her arms and said to Frank under her feet:
"I mean, if you disturb my good mood again, I will throw you into Gugu's nest. Lorna hasn't woken up yet, but no one can rescue you before Gugu eats you."
The threat from Merlin was immediately effective. Frank let out a low cry, looked at Merlin with a strange look, and then shook his short tail and ran to the doghouse in the corner of the living room.
That was Lorna made it for it.
Compared to Riven, who prefers Gugu, Lorna obviously showed more love for Frank who can speak. Frank, who successfully found a new backer in this demon-danced family, finally no longer has to be afraid of difficulties from Gugu.
Of course, if it is sensible enough, it should still avoid being alone with Gugu.
A few words scared away the cowardly alien dog Frank. Merlin shrugged. He looked at the time. At 7:50 in the morning, he planned to wake up the two children. Just as Merlin got up, Elsa, in her pajamas, walked down the stairs.
Her green eyes blinked, and she looked at Frank, hiding in the kennel and gnawing on the bones. She felt the weirdness of the puppy last night, but she didn't have time to ask Merlin about Frank.
"I feel like it's an alien, and it doesn't look friendly at me."
Elsa walked to Merlin and kissed Merlin on the cheek, she said:
"It's the same as Gugu, did you pick it up?"
“It’s much more troublesome than Gugu.”
Merlin said:
"At least Gugu wouldn't bother me. Sometimes when it quarrels, I really want to throw it out with its neck. But Frank is not an alien. He is a weak alien. You can treat it as an alien with a weird personality. Although it has a little weird personality and needs a little beat, there is no threat."
"All right."
Elsa picked up the toasted bread and spread some jam, she said:
"You still like to collect these weird things."
“It’s a job requirement.”
Merlin said:
"Before the children have not yet gotten up, let's talk about the topic that was interrupted last night... You shouldn't just come and see us when you come back this time?"
"Don't be so ruthless as I said, Merlin."
Elsa brushed her somewhat scattered orange-yellow hair, she said:
"I just miss homesick. Of course, I have something to ask you for help, but I want to come back and stay for a while. I am used to life here, and suddenly I find that it seems that wandering around like a real witch hunter doesn't work for me."
As she spoke, she put her finger on the edge of the bowl containing the fruit salad. The breakfast became more delicious as the faint cold air filled the air.
"Then don't leave."
Merlin said:
"Continue to open your small shop, I don't expect you to make money anyway."
Hearing this, Elsa stopped her movement of pulling the salad with a spoon. She glanced at Merlin and said:
"This is not as romantic as I said last night, but I'll think about it."
"Okay, let's talk about the serious business."
The witch hunter put a spoonful of fruit diced into her mouth and she whispered:
"I found my father, and I found Dracula."
"They're here?"
Merlin's eyes became more serious, and he confirmed:
“In New York?”
"Um."
Elsa nodded, she said:
"To be precise, they were in the alien city of Sulphur Harbor below Manhattan. I caught a Dracula's servant in Canada and used some small means to get the news from her."
"They should have arrived at Sulphur Port four months ago, but unexpectedly, after entering the city, Dracula was very high-profile. He seemed to be planning something, but the Demon France Association had no intention of intervening."
“We didn’t get any news about this.”
Merlin's fingers gently knocked on the table, and he frowned and said:
"Although s..l.d. has never been able to insert his hands into the Sulphur Harbor, the vampire families we are working with now should not have not noticed the arrival of a legendary blood clan, or rather, they have noticed it, but they do not want to participate in this matter, so they chose to hide it... It seems that this is really bad."
Merlin said:
"It seems that I have to meet the Supreme Lord as soon as possible."
"But let's not talk about Dracula's affairs for now. What's going on with your father? When he came to New York, you probably hadn't left yet. Did he not come to see you?"
"I have no idea."
A trace of worry flashed in Elsa's beautiful green eyes, she said:
"My father may have tracked Dracula all the way into the Sulphur Harbor, but he disappeared quietly like Dracula. This made me a little worried. Merlin, do you think my father will..."
"Don't think about it."
Merlin reached out to Elsa's cold hand and said:
"Don't think too badly about things before getting the exact news, not to mention that if I remember correctly, your father also brought the demon hunting sacred thing to restrain Dracula... Well, let's do it, after a while, I'll send Riven and Lorna to my sister, and then we go to the Grand Duke, and we can definitely get some useful news from the cunning legendary vampire."
"Um."
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, she stopped talking, and Merlin also felt the girl's inner entanglement and worry. She sneaked into the monk a few years ago to find her father. Now she has become a formal witch hunter, and has awakened her strange ability. With the exact news about her father, she really doesn't want to wait anymore.
But Elsa knew she was going to come to Merlin for help, which proved that she was still rational.
After all, Sulphur Port, a place where millions of alien species live, is indeed not very suitable for witch hunters to enter alone.
After dinner, Merlin drove Riven, Lorna, Gugu and Frank to Mei's house together. Mei welcomed the arrival of the children, and Peter was also very happy. He kept pestering Uncle Meilin to ask him to "do magic" for him. Unfortunately, Uncle Meilin had important things today and could not play with this cute little guy.
As for Elsa who returned to Merlin, Mei was also very enthusiastic. As the saying goes, the elder sister is like a mother. She is really happy to see that there is a girl next to her younger brother who has been alone for a long time, wearing round-frame glasses and looking gentle.
To be honest, Elsa's outfit, combined with her outstanding temperament, is really deceptive.
When the two left their cousin's house, Elsa said to Merlin awkwardly:
"Mei just asked me secretly when we plan to get married... Do your family care so much about your love life?"
“It’s not just family care.”
Merlin sighed with some worries:
"A lot of people are caring about it, and some friends I know or don't know are urging me. You know, this is really annoying, but you can't refuse their 'good intentions'."
“The worst thing is…”
Merlin opened the car door and said to Elsa:
"I can't tell them, I've never been single..."
"Carol?"
Elsa said with a smile:
"I'm looking forward to meeting that wonderful lady, too."
"It's better not to see it."
Merlin sat in the driver's seat and pushed his glasses. Icarus's intelligent mechanical mode took over the car. The SUV started smoothly and drove towards the manor of the Supreme Family located outside New York.
He looked at the flying scenery outside the window and said:
"Where have you been there in the past few months? Have you encountered some interesting things you can share with me? I'm happy to listen."
"Yes, I have."
Elsa took off her disguised eyes and wiped them with a handkerchief while saying:
"I went to the southern Europe to meet several witch hunters seniors and asked them for their combat skills. But I met an unexpected person on the Polish border."
"who?"
Merlin asked curiously, Elsa put her glasses in front of her eyes and looked at them, then put them back on her face. She said to Merlin:
To be continued...
