Chapter 170: Escape without Thinking
Sheldon smelled the familiar and strong smell of ink, and felt mixed emotions in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"He's obviously just a student who left to teach at Merlin... You shouldn't bother so much." The man whispered to himself, putting aside the letter that seemed to have been written just now.
He only saw this in the mailbox next to the house when he returned home, and Zaratul's style of sending letters was always to be delivered in person, which meant that he had already arrived at his door during the day.
Sheldon will naturally not go. After all, he has a mission now. With Merlin's talent, Zaratul will definitely regard him as the closed disciple among the closed disciples.
He is already the fourth "disciple" of [Erudition]. He doesn't know what this old man who is keen on acquiring knowledge wants to do...but he has no shame in sending this child there again.
It was late at night, and Sheldon turned around and saw that Merlin had already fallen asleep, so he had no reason to turn on the light anymore. He immediately took off his clothes and went to bed, falling asleep together with the boy.
In the next period of time, they will no longer live in No. 27 Lilac Street. This house will also become Merlin's memory in the past two years. Sheldon doesn't know when exactly they will
Will return to the Vatican to continue living...
Deep down, he always hoped that Merlin would grow up well, so it would not be a bad idea to take him to see new things outside. With his magical attainments, it was not difficult to protect such a child.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to first send Merlin to the Holy Land for a physical examination, and then go to the local mercenary gathering in the Vatican to apply for documents...Whether he can find a job is also a problem.
If that doesn't work, Sheldon can also use his savings to start some business and travel around the country. This will also allow Merlin to see more and see further.
Regarding Merlin's recent records, Sheldon gradually felt a sense of rejection. When you get along with someone for a long time, you will naturally develop some feelings, rather than being carelessly raised like an animal. This is not in line with his style of doing things. He is now
What I'm worried about is that Merlin's physical fitness will greatly exceed the standard. In this case, the senior leaders of the Merlin Sect may take Merlin back in advance...
But this is obviously his duty. Merlin was born to be taken back... This contradictory thought makes Sheldon very distressed. Life must go on. As a man who can take care of himself, he
Countermeasures must be found quickly.
In order to escape the surveillance of Merlin Cult, this is one of the reasons why Sheldon planned to take Merlin outside to have a look.
Early the next morning, Sheldon took Merlin to the Merlin Cult for a final physical examination before leaving. Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal.
Cheney asked Sheldon what his plans would be in the next few years now that they no longer had a stable job. Sheldon only replied that he would leave the Vatican and travel outside to let Merlin
See the world. Cheney didn't understand why Sheldon did this, but out of trust in Merlin, a conscientious "non-staff member", she didn't ask any more questions.
"Sheldon, our superiors have made it clear that Merlin's future ownership will be King Charlie, and Charlie will take Merlin's body." Cheney said worriedly, "I'm a little unclear now, what are those people thinking.
"
"If Merlin's power is very powerful, far beyond our expectations..." Sheldon pinched his chin and thought, "Then will you hand Merlin over?"
"At that time, we will forcibly destroy individuals." Cheney said without hesitation, "We don't want to see any more tragedies that happen because of a certain Merlin."
Sheldon was stunned.
Only by treating Merlin as a real person and allowing his mind to fully mature can we possibly prevent this tragedy from happening. Others in the Merlin Cult did not seem to have thought of this. This also made him feel chilled.
"How is the completion process of the Life Spell?"
Cheney's face suddenly wrinkled: "We are now trying to further activate the initially completed life spell, but all those who accepted the magic released according to the life spell have turned into a puddle of squirming mud.
"
"A puddle of mud? Still squirming? Where are their soul forms?" Sheldon asked doubtfully.
Cheney pursed his lips and whispered: "Their souls were scattered and all melted into these semi-fluids."
"Then you must be careful when using it. There is no human experiment, right?"
"How can it be used on people!" Cheney said angrily. "I don't think there will be any progress in the next few years. The life-repairing spell... there is still a long way to go! It's just the most preliminary experiment now.
Not because of that guy Charlie..."
"What does he want to use the Life Spell for?"
"To weaken the rejection of rune creatures in the body, I don't know what he is thinking... Sigh..." Cheney sighed and saw Merlin leaving accompanied by the staff.
He came over and said, "Sheldon, there must be a limit to the game of house. Don't be too emotional. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I know." Sheldon took Merlin's little hand and turned to leave.
There was no time to waste. As soon as the two of them walked out of the Merlin Holy Land, they quickly rushed to the local mercenary market to apply for documents.
Since the Vatican is the imperial capital, the mercenary market here is relatively the largest. People come and go here. If many people didn't have a number plate in front of them, they might not know who is the employer and who is the employer.
Mercenaries.
"Son, don't run around. There are a lot of people." Sheldon wanted to pick up Merlin, but this would make it even more difficult for him to move, so he had to give up.
"Well, you must hold my hand tight." Merlin's little figure was squeezed back and forth in the crowd, and his face turned pale with fear.
Because of the recent general strike, many manufacturers had to fire those who participated in the strike in accordance with the government's instructions, and those who were fired naturally found mercenary meetings and started a new phase of their careers with a sad face.
There is no way, one thing will bring down another thing.
"Brother, if you want to hire mercenaries, just go to the front of these stalls. This is the place where you can apply for mercenary certificates." This was the voice of a man.
Sheldon's shoulder was tapped by someone unknown. He frowned and turned around to see that the man speaking to him was half a head shorter than him, and his figure didn't match his voice. He was relatively thin.
That kind of person.
"Of course, if possible, sir, if you want to hire someone, can you consider me first?"
Sheldon took a closer look at this man's appearance. He had a sharp Chinese character face and short stubble on his face. Judging from his temperament, he seemed somewhat confident.
"Sorry, I'm also the one here to apply for mercenary certificates." Sheldon smiled at the man and turned his head.
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then at the little boy holding Sheldon's hand, filled with doubts in his heart.
This guy actually brought his own son to be a mercenary! And he looks very high-end in his clothes... This guy must be full of food!
"Sir, my name is Prilius Borg. Are you sure you want to take your son with you on the mission?" Prilius asked Sheldon in disbelief, an unknown fire rising straight from his eyes.
A feeling of confusion came to my mind.
"Yes." Sheldon smiled slightly, "Is there any problem?"
"You are being irresponsible to your child! You have an obligation to protect your son from harm!" Prileus shouted loudly.
This caused everyone around to stop what they were doing and look at the focus of the incident. Sheldon never imagined that he would encounter such an embarrassing thing on the first day he left the Dream Division.
But this man is really nosy and meddling in other people's own business. He hasn't found his own job yet, so he still cares about what happens to other people's sons?
Merlin only thought it was funny. The man in front of him was quite powerful. Under the observation of the magic eyes, the total amount of magic power in his body had reached the level of the second-level magic pattern. This was also considered to be quite strong among mercenaries.
.
"This is my son. I have the right and obligation to do anything with him. Sir, whether I apply for a certificate or not actually has nothing to do with you." Sheldon forced out a fake smile.
, keep going forward.
There are still two or three people waiting in line, and I hope this person will stop causing trouble.
Peleleus saw his son look at him deeply and turned his head away as if no one else was around.
Isn't he afraid of his own personal safety? The man clenched his fists angrily, his eyes suddenly lit up with light splashing everywhere, and two crystal clear bright white magic lines appeared from under the skin, intertwining continuously on his hands.
It condensed to form a circle of light film, wrapping his hands.
"I said, you! Stop!"
Pelelius quickly jumped forward, and his glowing hands suddenly grabbed Sheldon's shoulders. He believed that as long as he started, he would not be able to escape the magic skills he had honed for a long time! This was something that civilians could not train.
Magic circuit!
Prileus has made up his mind. After he succeeds, Sheldon's shoulder blades will be crushed as soon as he turns around!
Chapter completed!
