"Merlin..."
Hearing this name, Aunt Sofia's face seemed to show a bit of a strange expression. She squinted and looked at Nene kindly. Nene's voice trembled a little, and there was an undisguised look of fear in her eyes.
"Are you afraid of that crazy woman?" Aunt Sofia smiled, she sat down slowly, sitting opposite Nene, her eyes finally fell on the bracelet on Nene's wrist: "This thing, she forced Did you put it on?"
Nene: "… "
"Poor little girl." Aunt Sofia shook her head with a very pitiful expression, and she glanced at Neine's face: "What a beautiful little girl, but she was made like this by that crazy woman. Alas, but this is indeed the way she always does things. It just hurts you. It's really unfortunate for you, a little girl, to wear such a thing."
Bad luck
Nei suddenly felt miserable in her heart, and suddenly countless emotions surged up, her whole body trembled, and she screamed: "Unlucky?! She has hurt me!"
Saying that, Nene firmly grasped the wrist with the bracelet, and roared hoarsely: "Wearing this thing makes me not like a human being, a ghost like a ghost! Over the years, I don't know what happened to me. How much ridicule and scorn! Everyone treats me like a monster!! Even... even the man I like, dislikes me for being ugly!"
Sofia smiled and said nothing, just looked at Nene so indifferently.
Nene suddenly felt a move in her heart, looking at Sofia's relaxed smile, recalling that although this woman only showed a little, but she showed a powerful strength that surprised him, she couldn't help but stand up, facing Aunt Sofia He knelt down and slammed his head on the ground with a look of anticipation: "Your Excellency... You, you must be an expert with a lot of background, I don't know, can you help me give this thing to me? …”
"Do you want me to help you take this thing off?" Aunt Sofia's smile suddenly faded, and she stared at Nei Nei with a look of hope, but Sofia shook her head slowly and firmly: "Sorry, I don't It can be done - it's not that I can't, it's that I can't."
"Why, why..." Nene was suddenly disappointed, but still refused to give up, staring at Aunt Sofia - but she understood Sofia's words, the master in front of her, not "can't", but unwilling.
"It's very simple." There was some mockery in Sofia's eyes: "I don't want to provoke that female evil star for no reason. You are neither my daughter nor my apprentice, why should I provoke such a troublesome person for you? An opponent? Can you give me a reason to convince me?"
Nene was speechless.
Although Sofia's words were straightforward and unceremonious, it made Nene unable to argue - he and the other party were not related, so why should the other party take the risk of offending someone as powerful as Merlin to help him
"But..." Nene has been suffering from this bracelet for many years, and at this moment, she suddenly sees an expert like Aunt Sofia, who rarely has such a glimmer of hope, how can she be willing to give up easily, she said anxiously: "I... I am willing to Pay any price! I... I still have many years of savings, although I can't say that I am rich, but I..." Speaking of which, she herself felt a little overwhelmed, and the woman in front of her seemed to be someone who could compete with a guy like Merlin. The strong - how can such a strong person put worldly wealth in his eyes
really…
"I'm not short of money." Sofia smiled.
"I... I am willing to serve you, no matter what your command, I will go through fire and water, even if it is a sea of swords and flames, I am willing to... "
The smile in Sofia's eyes was even stronger: "That's it... I have some troubles. But for the troubles I encountered, even if you tried your best to shatter your bones, you wouldn't be able to help me at all."
This is also true.
Nei Nei's face was full of anxiety, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly said: "I, I still have..."
"You don't need to say it." Sofia shook her head: "Your strength is not bad in the eyes of ordinary people, but if you want to serve me, it is really useless. As for money... If I love money, gold and silver will also be invaluable. It's been there long ago. So, to impress me, those costs are not enough."
Nei was stunned for a moment, but after carefully savouring the other party's words, she seemed to feel that the attitude of the woman in front of her was a little loose, and she couldn't help but give birth to a glimmer of hope: "Then... what do you mean?"
Sofia smiled more and more kindly and kindly, stretched out her hand to hold Nene's face, her eyes flickered: "Actually, your original face is a very beautiful girl. With your original appearance, the girl I have seen in my life, There are very few people who can have this purple appearance. A girl like you should be admired and admired by countless men, and you should be born with countless ministers... If you are talking about the biggest capital on your body, any kind of money is fine , your strength is not as valuable as the capital of your talent."
When Nene heard it, her face changed suddenly: "You... what do you want?"
Sofia laughed even more happily: "I said just now, you and I are not related, I don't have to offend a strong enemy like Merlin for a stranger, but... If you and I become related, Then, for the sake of my own family, even if I offend the female evil star Merlin, I have nothing to be unhappy about."
"You... I..." Nene's expression became more and more nervous.
"Alas!" Sofia's face was full of distress: "I have always had a concern in my heart. I have a nephew who is the son of an old friend. That kid has a good temper, but his mind is a little confused and he does things a little bit. Absurd. Your age is not too different from yours. It’s a pity that no one likes you at this age. When I see it as an elder, I can’t help but feel anxious. I see you as a little girl, but it’s enough. Pretty... Well, if you are willing to marry my nephew, it will be my own family... Merlin, that woman, hum, although most people in this world are afraid of her, I am not afraid of that guy. You become me Of course I won't watch her bully you like this again..."
Nene was completely stunned.
She widened her eyes, opened her mouth, and looked at Sofia in surprise, unable to say a word for a while.
Sofia was not in a hurry, just smiled and looked at Nene: "How is it? Are you willing to agree to my condition?"
Nei Nei's face was sluggish, and finally came out this sentence: "You, you want me, marry, your..."
"good."
Nene looked at herself, and suddenly felt extremely absurd in her heart. She blurted out and said loudly: "What are you kidding! I look like this, you... "
"Poor little girl, you've probably been wearing this bracelet for so long that you even forgot how beautiful you look. Don't answer me, I'll show you what you really look like, and you'll understand."
With that said, Aunt Sofia stood up and drank into the tavern with a rough voice: "One-eyed! You old bum, bring the mirror from our house!"
After a while, with a shy smile on his face, the one-eyed came out from behind, holding a rusty copper-bottomed glass mirror in both hands, and after placing it on the table, Aunt Sofia glared at him, and the one-eyed quickly dismissed him. Turned around and ran back.
This is just an ordinary mirror. Sofia holds it in her hand, and her palm gently wipes on the mirror surface, and a soft light suddenly diffuses from her fingertips, and the inconspicuous mirror suddenly rises with brilliance. !
Sofia handed the mirror to Nene: "Take a picture of yourself and you'll know."
Nei Nei's expression was weird, but he took the mirror subconsciously, leaned in front of him, and looked in the mirror like that...
"what!!"
She suddenly screamed and threw the mirror on the ground when she missed it. A good piece of mirror fell to the ground and suddenly broke into several pieces!
Nei Nei's face was full of surprise, she couldn't help caressing her face with both hands, she rounded her eyes, looked at the broken mirror on the ground, and then looked at Sofia in front of her: "Then... the person in the mirror, is it really me? It's me Nene?"
"Of course." Sofia smiled: "You are such a beautiful little girl, you should always be loved by thousands of people. If you can restore your appearance, I am afraid that all the men in the world will line up to please you. I adore you, and since then, wherever you go, you will always look at you with admiration and admiration, and no one will ever say 'ugly' to you again..."
Her words were very light, and her tone was soft and gentle, but it seemed to contain a bit of ghostly temptation.
After listening to Nene, her eyes gradually became loose and relaxed, and her expression was quite yearning... But finally, she shook her head suddenly, her eyes regained clarity, and stared at Nene: "I promise to marry your nephew, you will make me change. Like the one in the mirror?"
"It's not to 'change' you into what you look like in the mirror, but to restore it. You were what you were originally, but I didn't change it."
Nene looked solemn, took a deep breath, and glanced at the mirror on the ground reluctantly, but finally shook his head heavily: "... No! I can't promise you."
"Oh?"
"I... I already have a sweetheart." Nene looked complicated: "I have made up my mind to marry him!"
Sofia smiled: "Didn't you say that your sweetheart made you look ugly? Since that's the case, what are you thinking about him?"
Nei's expression was a little uncomfortable, but she still shook her head vigorously: "No! Now that I have made up my mind, naturally I can no longer like others, let alone marry others. I can't agree to your condition."
"Oh?" Sofia was not annoyed, and still looked at Nene so peacefully: "You know, this is a rare opportunity, there are not many people like Merlin who dare to provoke her to help you, you can meet me , it can be considered your luck... If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that you will find other ways, and you will have no hope. You are so beautiful, do you want to be bound in this ugly body for a lifetime, called 'ugly' and monster?"
Nei's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were full of struggle, but he shook his head forcefully: "I said no, but no!"
"Then I can't help you." Sofia stood up and smiled lightly: "Okay, since there's nothing to do, you can go... Remember to lose money for what you just smashed before leaving."
Seeing that Sofia was about to leave, she was anxious in her heart and blurted out, "Wait, wait a minute!"
"What? Changed your mind?" Sofia turned around and looked at Nene with a smile.
Sweat dripped from Nene's forehead, and her eyes were red with anxiety. After years of wishing, she finally met an expert who can help her today. If she missed it so easily, I'm afraid she would even have the heart to die. , just looking at Sofia, but Nene was speechless: "I... I... "
She suddenly gritted her teeth: "I haven't thanked you for what happened today... I fought that evil woman just now, thank you for resolving it, I... "
"You don't need to say nonsense." Sofia's expression became cold: "I did it just now, not for you, but for myself. You and that little girl have some background. Behind you is Merlin, the female evil star, and the purple-haired girl. My little girl, there is also an old monster standing behind me. No matter which one of you two has an accident with me, it will cause me trouble. Although I am not afraid of those two old guys, trouble is something that can be avoided. waived."
Nene was unable to speak in a hurry, she just knelt on the ground, nodded again and again, tears finally flowed from her eyes, and she bit her lip hard.
Sofia looked at Nene and finally sighed, she slowly sat down again, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll show kindness again..."
Seeing Nene's expression showing some joy, Aunt Sofia shook her head: "Don't be too happy, I didn't promise to help you. However, I can give you some pointers."
After a pause, Sofia shook her head and said, "Get up and sit down first, I don't like talking to people like this."
Nene then nodded heavily, and sat obediently in front of Aunt Sofia, sitting there upright, with her hands on her knees, how honest she looked - if she was seen by the gang of horse thieves under her command, I'm afraid I will stare out my eyes. When did our big sister Nene look like such a lady
Aunt Sofia grabbed a jug on the table at random, but it was what Nene and others drank before. She picked up a clean cup on the table, poured a glass for herself, raised her head and drank half of it, and went out. Then he smiled and said, "Do you know what kind of person Merlin is?"
"She... she is a terrible witch, and a very powerful magician..." Nene tentatively said.
"I didn't ask you this." Sofia smiled, and a strange light flashed in her eyes: "Not to mention her legendary experiences that have been passed down by the world, apart from that, how much do you know about this woman? "
"??" Nene widened her eyes, staring blankly at the aunt in front of her.
Sofia sighed, grabbed the bottle and took another sip...
"Actually, this woman is quite pitiful."
…
"This woman became famous at a young age. When she was young, she was the best among Lantis witches. Before she was 20 years old, her strength far surpassed her teacher. She was born with a beautiful appearance, originally like her Such a beautiful woman rarely chooses to become a witch, but she is an extreme minority.
When she was young, she was so beautiful that even the Crown Prince of Landis had a crush on her, and several times he tried to hire her as the Queen's Witch in the palace, but she refused them all. This woman has a tough and indifferent temperament. When she was young, she once said that in the world at that time, there were very few people who could catch her eye. In her heart, the only person who has always convinced her and admired her from the bottom of her heart is the late Byzantine Empire's ancient magic genius, Hiera Funkya, the one who created the 'magic of life'. A generation of geniuses.
When he was young, Merlin had said many times, 'I wish I could be born at the same time as Sera Funkya! If I could be born in the same era as such a great person, I would do everything possible to marry such a genius! ', but at that time, we all thought this guy was a lunatic, and only lunatics would fall in love with an ancient character who had been dead for hundreds of years.
But at that time, although she was a little more withdrawn and proud, she was not as weird as she is now. At that time, she just didn't like to deal with people, she was not as sharp and ruthless as she is now.
Hmph, the world knows about her and the Landis royal family, and knows that she forcibly claimed the royal family's heirloom crown. The Landis royal family was afraid of her lewd power and did not dare to refuse, but she helped the Landis kingdom to block Byzantium. The invasion of the navy... Hmph, in fact, how can there be such a legend!
The Landis Kingdom can sit on thousands of miles of sea territory and become one of the three major powers in the world. Naturally, there are also supreme powerhouses in the royal family who are loyal and guarded. If nothing else, the twelve great knights of the Knights of the Round Table of the Landis Kingdom, They are all first-class masters, and the ancient royal family for thousands of years has an extraordinary background. No matter how powerful she is, Merlin cannot force a strong royal family by herself.
It's just... The king of Landis at that time was the crown prince who had a crush on her in the past. The king's majesty was so in love with Merlin, naturally he didn't want to embarrass his sweetheart, but he even willingly borrowed the royal family's heirloom crown. The strength has become so powerful that even a royal family is afraid, hum! "
…
When the aunt in front of her said this, her tone was full of resentment and dissatisfaction. Nei felt curious in her heart, but she just forbeared her curiosity, but did not dare to ask.
Aunt Sofia took a deep breath, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, it's all in the past, but it still makes me so excited..."
…
"Lantis's line of wizards is a faction of its own, and has always competed with the magic union of the Byzantine Empire. This guy Merlin is indeed a genius, and he is too proud. He actually ran to the Byzantine Empire to get the magic union to force the ancient times. The manuscript left by Sylafunkya... In the end, she was too arrogant and thought that when there was no man in the world worthy of her, only the ancient genius could be the object of her reverence. But she is also the real force Amazing, actually forced the magic union of the Byzantine Empire to bow their heads and admit defeat, hum...
It's just that, although the Byzantine Empire and her party have achieved her higher prestige, it also left her behind for a while... Hehe!
This woman who was so proud that she had no edge, this woman who regarded men in the world like grass and mustard ants, actually finally fell into a boss's somersault, haha, she, she actually, she actually fell in love with a Byzantine man!
With the surprisingly high vision in her heart, only the ingenious genius of ancient times like Shira Finkea can be worthy of her. But the weirdness is here, and when I think about it, I can't help but think that the most fearful thing is that Eros blinded his eyes, and that he would make such a foolish thing.
Speaking of the Byzantine man that Merlin fell in love with... Hmph, that guy is not bad, and his strength is top notch, but he is still a lot worse than a strong man like Merlin. The appearance is nothing but ordinary, and the character is even worse, lazy, despicable, and shameless. God knows whether the god of love is really blind, and actually paired these two guys together!
But the weirder things don't stop there!
A woman like Merlin is unparalleled in beauty, no matter in intelligence or strength, she is a first-class genius in the world, and she is famous all over the world! No matter which man can get the favor of such a woman, I am afraid that he will faint with joy! If nothing else, it was the King of Landis, but he had always been obsessed with Merlin. I heard that the queen he married later looked a bit like Merlin.
But a woman like Merlin fell in love with that Byzantine man, but that man turned against Merlin.
There is nothing more absurd in this world than this!
I heard that I don't know what method the man used to deceive Merlin's heart. This woman is also really weird. She looks cold and arrogant on weekdays, but when she becomes emotional, she is ten times crazier than ordinary people!
I don't know how the man deceived Merlin's trust. Merlin promised the man to be his wife, but the man deceived Merlin. When Merlin returned to Landis, he was so stupidly waiting for the man to come to marry him. , this wait, waited ten years...
And that man never appeared again.
Since then, Merlin's temperament has changed greatly, and his actions have become more and more withdrawn and ruthless, alas..."
…
Hearing this, Nene was completely stunned!
Although she grew up surrounded by men and was born ugly, she was still a woman after all, and she always hid a bit of the delicate thoughts of a girl in her heart. When she heard this, although she hated Merlin for so many years, Still couldn't help it, and gave birth to a bit of sympathy.
This hateful woman who has hurt her for many years, actually has such a sad past? !
Then I heard Aunt Sofia sigh again: "If it ends here, that's fine. It's a pity that Merlin couldn't wait for ten years, so he should have given up in despair. But later, I got another news - this female lunatic, For that man, I went to Odin alone, and entered the palace of the Emperor Odin alone!"
"Ah!" Nene was startled and blurted out, "She... I heard that she didn't go for some Odin's clan?"
"Fake!" Sofia snorted: "If it wasn't for the people who really valued in his heart, who would be willing to provoke a peerless and powerful enemy like God Emperor Odin?!"
