Serious and Formal - How many things in this world are more serious and formal than "marriage"
If the bastard's request is absurd and obscene - then Merlin can rightfully refuse, and then give the guy a hard lesson, like turning him into something like a frog or a toad, and then throwing him into the snake's lair.
But... marriage, is there anything more serious than this
And obviously, this matter is too outrageous and incredible for Merlin.
※※※
Char felt that his eyeballs were about to fall to the ground—perhaps just a little bit.
"You... You..." Xia Ya swallowed and took a lot of effort before she finally said: "Did you promise?"
Heck! What the hell!
Oh! Heck! Dry! ! ! !
If... Although the odds are 1 in 10,000, oh no, it should be 1 in 1 million! But if, if Merlin agreed at the time.
So... this horrible mad woman, in terms of identity, is her own...
Adoptive mother? !
"Did you agree?" Xia Ya asked again, seeing that Merlin didn't speak.
…
"I lost."
Despite a million reluctance in his heart, at that time, the always arrogant Great Magister, the King of Witches of Landis, finally said such a sentence.
The same sentence, the Magician Guild of the Byzantine Empire did not let her say it. The mighty God Emperor Odin did not let her speak.
But in that small remote place, in a wood, this guy with stubble and stubble, who looked a little sloppy, unruly, or even unruly, forced Merlin to say this.
"You must be very proud now. Sly guy, I really want to throw a lot of adjectives on you, villain, rogue, cunning, despicable..." Merlin stared at the guy in front of him: "You must think about it, I am It is impossible to agree to such an outrageous request! It is indeed a cunning condition, and it is something I did not expect. Hmm... Because I am a woman and you are a man! If I were a man, there is no way you would find such an inconvenience. Possible conditions. So, your expression now makes me very angry, have you thought about it and look forward to seeing my crazy and failed expression?"
It's hard to describe Merlin's mood at that time in words. Maybe she's crazy - maybe she's a crazy woman in the first place. However, losing, the word is still unacceptable to her.
She didn't lose to the Byzantine Magical Guild, nor to the Landis Royal Family, and even God Emperor Odin couldn't do anything about her, so she couldn't bear to bow her head to the guy in front of her.
"You thought I'd say no, didn't you?"
The woman smiled strangely.
※※※
"Seriously, did you agree at the time?" It was after lunch when Xia asked this question for the tenth time.
But Merlin still didn't answer, just like the first nine times, she glared at Xia Ya, and then said coldly: "The tenth time, boy, if you ask again, you will be the same as your trash follower magician. Become a frog, you know, I do what I say."
Xia Ya finally closed his mouth, but the curiosity in his heart couldn't hold it any longer, but Dodo Luo, who was next to him, quickly grabbed him: "Master, I think you should shut up... To be honest, the feeling of turning into a frog is real. not good."
Xia Ya nodded and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I'm asking too much, and she obviously didn't agree. At least the old guy who lives with me doesn't have any wife. What I care about is that if Merlin doesn't agree, then She must have made some other compensation... and I remember her saying - the old guy didn't go after the bet he won! And don't forget, she's a great magus! I'm the old guy's heir …”
Dodo Luo's face was embarrassed: "But, sir, you must first find out whether the value of this bet itself is worth the risk of being turned into a frog."
Next, Merlin shows her magic.
She first took out a strange bag, and then threw everything into the bag: the disassembled magic cannons, the "magic fire", and various goblin armor weapons.
That strange bag never seemed to be full, throwing stuff as high as a hill, but the bag was no bigger than a face pocket at best.
Finally, Merlin pulled out another handkerchief from his sleeve, which she threw on the ground, she just stretched out her fingers, and the handkerchief turned into a thick woolen rug.
This is not an ordinary rug, but a "flying carpet".
For these magical equipment, Xiaya may just look surprised, but Dodo Luo's eyes were already shining, and he almost died of a heart attack!
"Magic space bag! Oh my God! She actually came up with a genuine product! God, her attainments in the field of space magic have reached an unimaginable level!!" Duoduo clenched his fists excitedly, his voice hoarse. : "And this flying carpet..."
"It's just a big flying blanket." Char doesn't seem to understand the value of these things.
"A flying blanket?" Dodoro suddenly called out, and he said to Xi Ya very rudely: "This is a breakthrough in applying wind magic to actual objects! As we all know, to bless magic to any In terms of items, the best substance is mithril or various magic crystals and gems! But look at this blanket! There is no mithril or gems on it! It's woven from a piece of wool! What's more, she added Transfiguration! Can change its size!! You know how difficult it is!! She's a genius! An absolute genius!!!!"
"Let's worry about our fate first." Xia sighed, he moved Sharba and the other mercenary to the blanket, and then whispered: "We are still her captives! What does she plan to do with us? "
After speaking, Xia Ya said loudly, "Hey! Merlin... Mr. Merlin."
Merlin, who was sitting under the tree enjoying the shade, raised his eyelids: "What's the matter? Do you want to ask again? Or have you decided that you want to taste what it's like to be a frog?"
"No." Xia Ya raised her hands and said with a smile: "Obviously, you don't live with my adoptive father, so the answer is already obvious, what I want to ask is... How long will it take us to be 'requisitioned' by you? Well, we have other things to do and have been here long enough, I…”
"I need to get a laboratory here, so that I can study the ruins under the mountain stream right here." Merlin said immediately: "Those bones, you idiots, messed up the bones below! God knows you have destroyed it. How many valuable research leads have been lost, so I'm going to build a house here and live here for a while, so I need to build a laboratory, a magician's laboratory. Even if it's a temporary shelter, I need A lot of necessities, such as food, such as some tools…”
Having said that, Merlin looked at Xi Ya: "So, until you help me complete these things, you will always be requisitioned by me. You would never expect a great magus to build a house by himself, right? I'm sensible, I know hundreds of recipes for the most complicated magic decoctions, but I can't even boil water. So..."
Xia Ya was stunned.
Build a house... in this place where the ghosts can't see? !
"Also, I don't like to live in a house of pure wood, I need a fireplace, and strong enough walls, so the house must be built of solid masonry, you don't want to make a simple wooden house to fool me, I There needs to be a study, a reception room, and a magic laboratory built with the strongest granite, so that some poisonous magic potions won't leak out. Finally...I need a small garden." Merlin touched Touching his nose: "Let me think about what else... Oh, I like to eat fish, I'm from Landis, all Landis like to eat fish, but I don't see any food I like in this place , so, I need to get a pond here and keep some fish..."
Following Merlin's words, Char's face became paler and paler.
If he wants to complete all the requirements of the witch king, then it is estimated that he will not want to go anywhere in the next three years, and he will stay here as a slave for the great magister.
"Uh, this... I have a suggestion." Char pondered for a while, then forced a smile: "Look, your requirements are really complicated, at least there are no tools here, and I don't think there are granite and granite you need here. Bricks, as for the fish... I didn't see it either..."
"So I gave you this flying carpet, idiot." Merlin sneered very rudely: "I will ask, and then you will complete it! If you don't have anything here, go and find it for me! This flying carpet It can save you a lot of time. You can buy me everything you need! My only requirement is to see a laboratory that meets my requirements!"
Xia felt that she couldn't even cry.
"I know that the nearest place to get things is the tribe of the Zaku natives. I heard that there are Byzantine caravans that will trade with them there. Maybe we can get some of the things we need there." Very excited shouting.
"Shut up!" Xia Ya glared at the guy fiercely.
Duo Duo Luo's eyes widened: "Why, my lord? Stay by the side of a strong man who is one of the greatest magicians in the world! Even if it is just her assistant... You know, if there is this opportunity, I am afraid that 100% of the whole continent will be Ninety magicians will kneel down and pray for this opportunity!!"
Merlin walked over with a smile and pointed at the flying carpet. The smile on her face was even evil: "Now, go and work hard, my little slaves. Oh yes, don't try to run away..."
She took out a small bracelet from her arms, and Xiaya was stunned when she saw the bracelet!
That bracelet, he has seen it! !
Because the big big sister named Nene is wearing an almost identical bracelet!
"The woman named Nene didn't lie. These are true." Char looked at the bracelet with some fear. What would she look like when she wore this thing? Become a goblin? Or become a…
Omg! Wouldn't she turn herself into a little white face like Bonfret? !
Xia Ya had no way to resist, because when Merlin put the bracelet on him, Xia Ya couldn't move his entire body, as if he had been hit by some immobilization spell. Seeing that the bracelet was put on his wrist, and then automatically contracted, almost sticking closely to his skin.
Fortunately, it was obvious that Merlin's magic was completely different from the curse he gave Nene at the beginning, and Char's appearance didn't change in any way...
"This bracelet, only I can take it off, I can feel you wherever you are, and... oh yeah, don't try to take it off, you can't do it. If you try to escape, then I'll be there Appearing in front of you in the shortest time - believe me, it must be faster than you think!"
Just when Xia Ya was very depressed, Dodo Luo desperately stepped on his feet and shook his head in front of Merlin with a look of anticipation.
"What do you want? Poor guy?" Merlin glanced at Dodoro.
Dodoro looked excitedly at the magic bracelet on Char's wrist and swallowed.
Merlin understood immediately, she sighed and looked regretful: "Oh, poor guy, don't you think that everyone is qualified to wear the magic bracelet made by the great Merlin? These things are high-end goods, No incompetent bastard is eligible to wear my stuff. As for you...you can go anytime, dear, and say hello to your free life."
However, Dotolo's face collapsed, his face full of disappointment.
Char reluctantly climbed onto the carpet and sat with Dodoro.
"Damn, Dotara, I really envy you. That old witch actually let you go!"
"Trust me, sir... I envy you even more. If I can stay by her side, I'd like to live ten years less."
Then, Char chanted the spell that Merlin taught him to control the flying carpet.
This incantation made Dodoro almost admire Merlin on the spot!
Because, this magic spell is not Majik! ! ! ! !
"She can do magic without using Majik!!! This is amazing!!"
And Xia Ya's face is ugly...
Because the content of the mantra is:
"Oh! Great and supreme Merlin, you are the greatest genius, the greatest magician, I praise you, please allow your humble servant to borrow your magic, and let this magic carpet take me where I want to go place!"
- That's all there is to the spell.
"This woman is not only a lunatic, but also a narcissist."
※※※
Seeing Xia Ya and others flying away on the flying carpet, Merlin stood there, looking at the distant shadow, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, and at the same time she whispered to herself: "Damn bastard. , I waited for you for ten years, but you never showed up... Now your son is in my hands, hehe, damn fate, praise its magic."
