The mysterious power entrenched in the mysterious house has been partially eliminated.
Although it has not been completely cleaned, at least in the hall of the mysterious house, there is no longer the interference of the mysterious power. It is quiet enough to allow Merlin to sit by the warm fireplace and listen to a spiritual body from the 16th century. An old story.
"You, do you have a name? What the are you?"
Merlin threw a cleaning spell on the sofa by the fireplace. After the sofa stained with blood and weird substances became clean again, he sat on it, tilted his legs, and looked at the purple woman standing in front of his eyes. Spiritual body.
"My name is Xuan Lan."
The purple spirit replied in a gentle voice:
"I am the center of the house of mystery, its spiritual body, you can understand that my presence represents the consciousness of this house. I was created to serve the owner of the house of mystery."
"Ok."
Merlin nodded. He could understand the meaning of Xuanlan. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had heard similar examples in some magic books.
Some wizards will use special methods to give birth to some inanimate things in order to serve them better.
"What is that thing?"
Merlin pointed to the decomposing flesh on the floor, which was the corpse of the hacked alchemy creature.
It is not a naturally occurring life. Its existence violates the laws of nature. It should not appear and should not exist. Therefore, after the integrity of the body is destroyed, it begins to decompose quickly.
There are some silver, odd-shaped and strange-shaped pieces of mechanical objects scattered in the flesh and blood, representing its strange vitality, not simply from magic.
"It's the gatekeeper."
Xuan Lan calmly explained:
"It is the alchemy work made by the master Da Vinci according to ancient books when he is idle. It was created to serve as an experimental assistant to Master Da Vinci and maintain the normal operation of the mysterious house. It used to be not violent, The appearance is not distorted by flesh and blood, but when the infection of the spirit occurs, it is also infected by the mysterious power, becoming irrational and gradually crazy."
"In the centuries of killing, it has become a node of filthy spiritual power in the mysterious house. It has its own thinking. It still faithfully fulfills its previous mission, but it no longer expels those intruders. It is cruel to kill them, and trap those ghosts that have nowhere to go, turning them into wraiths guarding the mysterious house."
Merlin nodded, and he asked again:
"What is the spiritual infection you are talking about?"
"It's a secret study."
Xuan Lan is like a truly dedicated housekeeper, she said:
"It was the study that attracted the unknown spirit. It came at midnight and occupied the mysterious house. Master Leonardo left, and the spirit followed him. But it was only the breath that remained here. Completely infected with the house of mystery."
"..."
Merlin did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the Xuanlan in front of him, a spirit body that claimed to be the spirit of consciousness in the mysterious house. There was a trace of scrutiny in his gaze, but Xuan Lan did not produce more expressions because of this gaze.
Until dozens of seconds later, Merlin said:
"You are also infected with the remaining breath of the "spirit"?"
Xuan Lan did not answer.
"You obviously have your emotions."
Merlin flicked his finger, he said:
"Although you have tried your best to converge, when I appeared, your voice still had unshakable joy and expectation... just like an object that was abandoned for a long time and finally found the user again."
"Are you always looking forward to a new owner? Xuan Lan, tell me not to hide."
Facing Merlin's question, the spirit of the mysterious house finally nodded.
The purple spirit looked up at Merlin and she said:
"That powerful spirit occupies the house of mystery. It gave birth to wisdom. I don't know whether it is good or bad, but I think a room, if there is no master, then it loses its meaning of existence."
This purple spirit has an emotional light in her eyes, but she has been trapped in the mysterious house that breeds wisdom. She is very smart, but does not have much experience in communicating with other people, so she is still very simple, she has not yet Learn to lie.
After Merlin sensed it, she admitted frankly.
"I knew it."
Merlin rubbed his forehead and said:
"The gatekeeper is also under your control? Cold, the triple test of wraiths and gatekeepers you set? Why?"
"This mysterious house was built by Master Leonardo. He uses the mysterious house to store knowledge."
Xuan Lan said:
"Although Master Leonardo eventually left, this does not mean that anyone who breaks into the mysterious house can become my master. Although I am not strong, I also have my own dignity."
"Then why don't you choose Constantine?"
Merlin asked curiously:
"If I read correctly, he also passed the cold level."
"He is a very...indescribable person."
Xuan Lan's anthropomorphic face finally had a touch of human expression. She said to Merlin a little tangled:
"He deceived the keys of the house of mystery from the descendants of Master Leonardo da Vinci by deception. But the first time he entered here, he did not want to explore the secrets and knowledge of the house. Female vampire companion, find a meeting place that will not be disturbed."
The purple spirit looked dissatisfied and said:
"He has no respect for knowledge, he is not qualified to be my master, so I let the goalkeeper drive him away."
"Ok."
Merlin said helplessly:
"It really is Constantine's style of doing things. But Xuan Lan, you say I am your new owner, but you obviously hide a lot of things from me... Frankly speaking, I don't trust you."
"My existence is to serve the master."
Xuan Lan said blankly:
"Time will prove everything."
"Ok."
Merlin shrugged. He stood up from the sofa. He said to Xuan Lan:
"Tell me about the mystery house, what is the use of this house? You just said, Mr. Da Vinci has stored a lot of knowledge in this category? Are they still there?"
"The House of Mystery was severely damaged when the infection of the spirit broke out."
Xuan Lan pointed to the messy ground around him and replied to Merlin:
"I can try to repair the mystery house, but it requires magical supplements and some time. In addition, when Leonardo master left, he took away most of the books, and the rest were put in the basement, and The basement, where the infection of the spirit first broke out, and there are still dangerous forces entrenched in it. I don’t recommend that the owner clean it up now."
"In the current state of the House of Mystery, what I can provide to the owner is an alchemy laboratory left by Master Da Vinci and the most basic "Any Door"."
Xuan Lan pointed to the closed door and she said to Merlin:
"As long as you hold the key and open the door, the host can reach this dimension, wherever you want to go...Of course, before the mystery house is completely repaired, the opening of any door may be biased, so I do not recommend the host to rashly Try to open the door to the land of danger."
"Oh, is it so magical?"
Mei Lin walked with interest to the door of the room. He looked back at Xuan Lan. He said:
"I just have to think about where I want to go and open the door?"
"Yes Master."
Xuan Lan put his hands together and put them on his abdomen. With a very professional butler attitude, he said to Merlin:
"The more you know about the destination in your mind, the more accurate the opening of any door will be. In addition, during the period when you leave, I will clean up the mystery house and prepare the equipment for the alchemy laboratory for you. ...Is there anything else you need to command? Master."
"Change the appearance, Lan."
While turning the door open, Merlin said to the spiritual steward:
"Maybe you can change to make me feel more comfortable...well, we will see you next time."
"Click"
Merlin twisted the door open and walked out.
In the hall behind him, Xuan Lan tasted the words left by Merlin. The spirit steward opened her hands and her shape changed rapidly. Soon, her face turned into a look like Carol and In the mixed appearance of Lingdie, her hair is very similar to Hill, and her body is very similar to Elsa. The body of that kind of person is also wearing a black and white tuxedo of the butlers of the 16th century.
Xuan Lan, a strange and mysterious spirit, snapped her fingers, and a mirror appeared in front of her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and then stretched out her white-gloved hand to clamp a piece of gold-rimmed monocle. On the left eye.
Looking at the image in the mirror, she nodded in satisfaction, then turned around, picked up the bell around her waist, and while shaking, said to the empty hall:
"All come out! Work!"
"Be sure to complete the cleaning of the mysterious house before Master Merlin returns! And...Master Merlin does not like the appearance of the spirit, so change your appearance."
Under the order of the female housekeeper Xuan Lan, one after another wraiths floated out of the walls, floors and oil paintings of the house. Under her command, these wraiths changed their shape very well. After a few minutes, men and women The servants in suits and maid costumes were busy under the steward's command.
The interior of the mystery house has been enchanted by space magic, it is much larger than it looks, and it has not been cleaned well for more than 300 years.
All in all, this cleaning is expected to last a long time.
—
Merlin stepped out of the mysterious house, and the destination he chose was his own home.
The "Any Door" attached to the Mystery House works very well, and Merlin stepped on the wet ground in one step without feeling the bumps that teleportation should have.
Wait, wet?
Merlin looked at the water flowing under his feet. He looked up and saw the mist rising in front of him. Elsa with her eyes closed was standing under the warm water, enjoying her bathing time.
"???
Looking at the scene of white flowers in front of him, Merlin almost immediately activated the shifting spell. Before Elsa opened her eyes, he disappeared into the bathroom.
"what?"
Elsa in the bathroom wiped the water from her face. She turned around and looked puzzledly behind the empty, she said:
"I just felt...as if someone were there. Am I feeling wrong?"
On the other side, Merlin, who appeared on the streets of Queens in New York, patted her chest with fear.
Really hanging, almost discovered.
Although it doesn’t matter if it’s found, Elsa can’t beat him, but the problem is that this kind of peeping of subordinates is too tasteless.
"Damn it, the fashionable "Any Door" doesn't work at all!"
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the quaint key in his hand. For a moment, he even wanted to throw the key into the trash can at hand, but thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Speaking of that, Elsa's figure... unexpectedly good...
Stop it! Can't think anymore! Merlin! When did you become so nasty!
Merlin held out his hand and twitched on his cheek, trying to make himself forget the scene just now.
He raised his head and looked at the street in front of him, and found that the place he had chosen in his anxiety was very close to the cousin's house. So, Merlin planned to sit at the cousin's house and play with Peter.
But as he took his steps, he suddenly remembered another thing.
If he remembers correctly, Professor Charles’ Variety Academy should also be in Queens... and it’s not too far from here.
"Professor Charles helped me last night without his help. I'm afraid I have become a plaything in Ruiwen's hands now."
Merlin thought of:
"Maybe I should visit him. The last time he awakened me from a coma, this is the second time he has saved me."
Thinking of this, Merlin no longer hesitated. He reached out to stop a taxi, opened the door, and sat inside.
"Go to Xavier Talent Academy."
"Huh, Mr. Merlin! What a coincidence."
A familiar voice came from the front seat. Merlin looked up and saw Chas's chubby face.
Fortunately...not DuPont.
"Okay, Chas."
Merlin greeted the fat driver and said:
"It seems that we are quite destined, but speaking of it, I remember you didn't mean to take a few days' rest? Why did you come out to work this afternoon?
"Oh, this is it."
While turning the steering wheel, Chas said to Merlin:
"This car was newly replaced by Du Pengde. He went to the movies with his cousin today and asked me to help him take the class."
"Du Peng's new car?"
Merlin looked around, and sure enough, the interior of this taxi was very new. After thinking for a while, he reached out and ripped the music player on the bridge without hesitation.
Then he said in an exaggerated tone:
"Gosh! Look at me, I'm clumsy, I accidentally broke this beautiful music player... but that's okay, I will pay."
After finishing speaking, in the gaze of Chase, Merlin handed several banknotes to Chase, he said:
"Chas, we are friends, right? So you just saw nothing, okay?"
