42.Midnight in Hell - For Cool Bubbles, Brother Plus [13/15]

"Brother, who was that person just now?"

In the living room of Merlin's house, Lorna, who was sitting next to Raven, tilted her head to look at Merlin while stirring the ice cream with a spoon, and she asked curiously:

"That guy was so weird, he had a pair of eyes like Coo-Goo! Is he a friend of Gollum? ”

Raven was still as cold as ever, and when she came home in the afternoon, she also saw Coulson who stayed for a short time, but Raven acted as if Coulson didn't exist at all.

"He's an older brother too."

Merlin skillfully used his chopsticks to put a sandwich on Lorna's plate, and he said to Lorna:

"Next time, you're going to call him Brother Phil, or Brother Coulson."

"Nope! No! ”

Lorna snorted, and she stubbornly said:

"Only you are the elder brother, I call him Coulson."

"Okay."

Merlin shrugged, he ate a piece of fish, and then said to Lorna:

"This afternoon, Ms. Auroro called me and she asked me if I would like to send you to Xavier's Talented Junior Academy... What do you think? Do you want to go? ”

"I'm going to school."

Lorna chewed on her sandwich and said to Merlin:

"Matt is also in school, Daisy is also in school, the little ones have to go to school, and if they don't go to school, they will become stupid, but I want Raven to go with me!"

"I'm not going."

Raven pinched the doughnut expressionlessly, and she said:

"It's the most boring out there."

"Raven..."

Merlin whispered:

"I'll help you solve that matter, will you accompany Lorna to school? Just protect her..."

"I can't beat her now!"

Raven glared at Merlin, and she said:

"She doesn't need my protection."

"Don't be afraid, Raven."

Lorna put her oil-stained hand on Raven's hand, which immediately attracted Raven's angry eyes, but the little girl was not afraid at all, and she giggled and said to Raven:

"If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you beat him."

Under Merlin's gaze, Raven reluctantly said:

"You get what I want, and I'll go with Lorna."

"Hmm."

Merlin glanced at the clock on the wall, he picked up the cloth, wiped his mouth, and said to Raven:

"It's pretty much going to be solved tonight, so I'll watch less TV with Lorna for a while, go to bed early, and I'll send you two over tomorrow morning." It's boarding over there, you stay there 5 days a week, and I'll take you and Matt home on the weekends... No problem, right? ”

"No problem."

Raven nodded, and continued to eat her own donuts.

"Meow"

Just after everyone had eaten dinner, the orange cat, who had slept all day, rushed down the stairs and rubbed at Merlin's feet, which was about to belong to him.

"Goo-goo, cute goo-goo."

Lorna runs to Gollum's side and holds the heavy Gollum in her arms, and the orange cat is asked by Merlin not to hurt the children in the family, so Gollum has no choice but to let Lorna brush it.

However, the little girl's movements are very gentle, so Coo is not uncomfortable, this orange cat actually likes to stay with children. Especially after Lorna washed the cat bed once, Goo allowed the girl to touch it.

Brushing Goo was done by Eric before.

"Well, speaking of Eric..."

Merlin took out his phone and said:

"Maybe I'll have to let him come back tomorrow, and it's time for his father's affairs to be resolved."

Behind Merlin, Raven was already freshened up and ready to go to bed, and she played with her hair and said to Merlin:

"Don't forget tonight!"

Merlin looked at the clock and said:

"Don't worry, it's still far from midnight..."

A few seconds later, the call went through.

"Hello? Merlin? ”

Eric's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and the young man was surrounded by the sound of girls singing, which seemed noisy.

"Charlie and I are playing with friends, do you have anything to do?"

"Find a quiet place."

Merlin Says:

"Call me again later, something very important, about your father."

“......”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Eric quickly said:

"Wait a minute."

The phone hung up, Merlin didn't care about picking up the "Hell Creatures Illustrated Book" at hand, flipped through it, waited, and half a minute later, Merlin's phone rang again.

"You just said it had something to do with my father... Merlin, you want me..."

"No, I'm not going to let you go to Wakanda alone."

Merlin Says:

"I just found someone related to Wakanda, she seems to have a lot of status in that place, so I'm going to let you meet with her, maybe she'll know your father's whereabouts, and if things don't go well, I'll also entrust her to take you to Wakanda."

"I don't want to make my father's affairs known, and you're right, it's not for nothing that my father concealed my existence back then. I also don't need help from the people of Wakanda, I know where Wakanda is. ”

Eric replied:

"Ron's brother sent me a detailed magical map a few years ago, and it shows the road to Wakanda, and if it wasn't for you, I might have gone there alone."

"You might well have died there."

Merlin said very politely:

"Dispel the idea of you running away as soon as possible, I've already told Charlie, she'll help me keep an eye on you!"

"Tomorrow morning, honestly go home for me, and I'll take you to the lady. No matter what decision you make, she will help you hide your existence. ”

"By the way, don't tell Charlie about this, I don't want that kid to get involved in your troubles."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Eric replied:

"Well, I'll rush back early tomorrow morning."

"Well, that's good."

Merlin chatted with Eric a few more times before hanging up.

He sat on the sofa in the living room, crossed legs, coffee in hand, and looked intently at the book in his hand, while Lorna sat beside him, hugging Coo, watching the cartoon intently.

Raven's suggestion was correct, and Merlin felt that his knowledge of the creatures of hell could no longer keep up with his own transformation, so he had to hurry up his time to enrich his knowledge and pass the time waiting for midnight to come.

Two hours later, Lorna finished watching the cartoon and yawned back to her room to sleep, and the whole house fell silent.

Merlin put away the books, walked to the bathroom, took out the key to the secret house, and opened the door to the secret house.

Xuanlan waited for Merlin's arrival at the door with her hands tied, as before.

"Welcome back, Master Merlin."

Xuanlan asked softly:

"Do you want some late-night snack? I've recently collected some recipes from this era, maybe you'd like to have a little bird's nest? ”

"No, Lan."

Merlin shook his head, and he said:

"Get a fish for Goo, it'll love it. Also, Is the portal to the borders of hell working well? ”

"It went well."

Xuanlan replied:

"Reach. The teleportation stone left behind by Finch's owner works fine, and the portal of the mystery house can take you to the borders of hell at any time if you need it, but it is more difficult to come back, and my personal advice is that you can take a door with you. As long as there is a complete door lock. ”

"Take a door with you?"

Merlin blinked, and he said:

"Well, good idea, why didn't I think of it before? Can you help me prepare a portable door? ”

Merlin asked, and Xuanlan nodded, and she said:

"Of course, your needs are my will, please wait a moment, I will prepare immediately."

It was nearly nine o'clock in the night, and three hours before midnight, Merlin sat by the fireplace in the living room, continuing to read the Illustrated Book of Creatures of Hell, while Coo lay on the couch opposite, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, and a moment later a ghost servant quietly brought a beautifully decorated sashimi of sea fish on a plate.

Coo's nose moved, and when it opened its eyes, it looked at the fish in front of it, and there was a very human joy in its eyes.

As a devouring beast, Gugu can eat all the time, and its tail is connected to a miniature universe-like space, which brings inexhaustible energy to Gugoo, so that Gugu can achieve spatial teleportation, and when necessary, it can also use some weak energy attacks, theoretically, Gugu's stomach can never be filled.

In terms of pure destructive power, Merlin may have surpassed Goo, but in terms of overall combativeness, Merlin is still far from Goo.

As long as the cat is willing, it can completely swallow Merlin into its stomach by sneak attack, and as long as Merlin can't break the solid stomach wall of the Primal Devourer, he will be sealed inside forever.

Of course, Goo Gu also has its own wisdom, it will not provoke opponents that it can't deal with, after all, it is only a young body devouring beast, and it is still far from a real adult body.

The time to study with peace of mind always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the time has come to close to midnight.

Merlin closed the book, he moved his shoulders and spine, then stood up and walked to the alchemy laboratory of the mystery house with Gugu in his arms, since the alchemy room at home was to be reserved for Raven, so Merlin transferred many of his ongoing experiments to the mystery room.

On the counter of the alchemy room, there were green bells, red jars, and Vlad III's source blood in crystal bottles, as well as several power fragments sealed in boxes, which were obtained when he exterminated the children of the three palaces, and Merlin had never used them.

Merlin can't use these things until the power of the half-demon stage stabilizes, as they will cause the magic in Merlin's body to riot again, and even make Merlin's form change more demonic.

He wasn't Raven after all, and he could absorb so many power seeds at once.

He had to take his time.

Xuanlan stood in front of the portal to the border of hell, and beside Xuanlan, there was a very light and thin wooden door, just high enough for Merlin to pass through without looking down.

The door seemed to have just been made, and it was coated with a layer of red dye, and it had a strange rune mark on the door, which was the rune of the repair spell to ensure that the door would not be completely destroyed.

"Take this door, Master Merlin."

Xuanlan Says:

"As long as you have the key, you can go back to the warm mystery house anywhere."

"Thanks, Lan."

Merlin thanked his butler and put the door in his pocket, reaching out and lighting the portal in front of him, which was secured with five crystals, and then took a step forward to the edge of the border of hell.

"Meow!"

The terrible air in hell made the sleepy Goo jump instantly, and it looked left and right with some fried hair, but the Elemental Eater was the Elemental Eater, and soon, Gollum seemed to get used to the damn air, and it quickly lost interest in this deserted place, burying its head in Merlin's arms, and its tail flapping Merlin's arm, urging Merlin to get out of here quickly.

"Well, I'm waiting for someone."

Merlin stroked the fur that had exploded, and he said:

"It'll be fine soon."

A few minutes later, just around midnight, a dark red light appeared before Merlin's eyes.

Liana walked out of the light, she was wearing a long trench coat, completely covering her body, under the trench coat, still the same very punk armor as before, long golden hair was draped over her shoulders, but there was no rebellious smoky makeup on her eyes, this girl was dressed very plainly this time.

Merlin saw that in Liana's hand, she was still holding the crystal bottle containing the memories of Colossus.

This made Merlin realize that the girl seemed to have made a decision.

"I decided."

Liana said to Merlin in front of her in a cold tone:

"I want to live!"

"Well, and then what?"

Merlin stroked the cat in his arms, and he asked:

"After recognizing the harsh reality, you don't have to think about this alone, do you?"

"If I want to live, that old bastard of Belakos must die."

Liana said in a hideous tone:

"I know that in this land, it is difficult for outsiders to challenge the majesty of Belakos, but I already have an idea, you don't need to care about the specific execution process, I just need to show up on the battlefield when necessary and help me kill that old bastard!"

"Well, it's not that we can't talk about it."

Merlin said softly:

"Before we do that, let's talk about you... I have the solution to the troubles in your soul. ”

"But I am entrusted by others, and I cannot give it to you for nothing."

"So, let's make a deal, Liana. Rattings. ”

"Don't call it by that name."

Liana frowned and said:

"I have another name in this land."

"Call me... Secret Guest! ”
