Chapter 11 Changes in the Body
【Ask for collection and recommendation! 】
The maids in the castle quickly cleaned up the dining table, Merlin got up and was about to go upstairs to rest.
"Merlin, I have some news for you."
"What news?" Merlin turned around and looked at Mei Xue suspiciously.
"Tomorrow Swordsman Perot will take us to the church in Gran City to communicate with young people in other cities."
Merlin frowned slightly. He knew that the "we" in Mei Xue's mouth definitely didn't include him. They should be people with element affinity. These people are the most potential people, and they deserve to be vigorously cultivated by the church.
"How many days will it take?"
"About four or five days."
Merlin nodded and said, "I see, with Swordsman Pero leading you, it should be very safe, and I'm relieved."
After that, Merlin walked upstairs.
Mei Xue looked at Merlin's back with some doubts in her eyes, and murmured in a low voice, "This guy Merlin seems to be a little different from before."
Merlin's tone and demeanor just now had changed a lot from before. Before, Merlin would never say "I'm also at ease".
Back in the room, Merlin didn't feel sleepy either, so he sat on the bed and made the strange pose on the relief again.
Merlin was already familiar with this peculiar posture, so he didn't feel awkward at all, even on the bed, inadvertently, he fell on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
*****
Early in the morning, Merlin woke up from his sleep. At this time, it snowed heavily outside, a thin layer of ice crystals even condensed by the window, and the room was very cold.
Merlin couldn't help shivering. He just woke up and found out that he stumbled on the bed and fell asleep unknowingly last night.
"Sweating again..."
Merlin reached out and wiped it on his arm, but it was all greasy sweat. Merlin felt sticky and uncomfortable.
"Lucica, get me some hot water."
Merlin opened the door and called the maid Lucica. Although Lucica was a little strange, it was strange that Merlin had to take a bath in such a cold day, but she didn't dare to ask, so she followed Merlin's instructions and had a warm bath. Water filled the tub.
Merlin jumped into the tub and quickly washed the sweat off his body.
Although he was frozen all night last night, Merlin didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, he was full of energy, his face was rosy, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength.
"Lucica, Master Merlin is taking a bath again?" A slightly old voice came into Merlin's ears.
Merlin quickly recognized that it was the butler's voice, apparently asking Lucica.
Lucica also replied softly: "Yes, butler, the young master is taking a bath when he wakes up in the morning."
"Well, from now on you will prepare more hot water every morning."
The housekeeper whispered, and then the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, thinking that the two had already left.
"The housekeeper is attentive."
Merlin smiled slightly, knowing that the housekeeper must have come to let him go down for breakfast, so he reached out and opened the bedroom door.
"Huh? Why is there no one?"
Merlin was a little surprised.
He heard the voices of the housekeeper and Lucica just now, and they were clearly outside the door. It was very clear, how could there be no one?
This was a bit weird, so he went straight to the corridor, looked downstairs, and found that the housekeeper and Lucica were actually in the corridor downstairs.
"Downstairs? Why is it downstairs? The voices they spoke just now were clearly clear..."
Merlin raised his eyebrows, and he thought of a possibility. Could it be that he could even hear the people downstairs?
Coming downstairs, Merlin turned a blind eye to the rich breakfast on the table, just picked up a piece of bread at random, and ate it absentmindedly.
"The weather this year is really weird. It's so cold before winter begins."
"Nopp, hurry up and work. If the housekeeper finds out that you are lazy again, don't even think about working with the baron in the future."
...
While eating the bread, Merlin carefully listened to various sounds in the distance. Just now, these people were at least tens of meters away from Merlin, and some were even hundreds of meters away, but Merlin could vaguely hear them. This shows that , his hearing is greatly improved.
This kind of change is very sudden, Merlin is very sure, at least last night before he went to sleep, there was no such change. Now his hearing has been greatly improved, and he can hear the footsteps of everyone within tens of meters. Clearly.
"Master Merlin, do you need anything else?"
The housekeeper's words interrupted Merlin's contemplation. He then turned around, only to find that he had finished eating the bread in his hand.
"I'm done eating."
After Merlin finished speaking, he wiped his mouth and hurried back to the upstairs room.
In the room, Merlin took out the relief sculpture hidden at the head of the bed. He knew that his change must be brought about by the peculiar posture on the relief.
Moreover, the improvement in hearing may only be one aspect. In addition to hearing, Merlin can also feel strength, agility, etc., which seems to have greatly improved.
As long as he keeps practicing the poses on the relief, his physical fitness will definitely get better and better.
Merlin stayed upstairs for a while, put on a thick coat, a gray scarf around his neck, and leather gloves on his hands, wrapping himself tightly before he got up and went downstairs .
It snowed heavily all night, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated in front of the castle. The bare trees were also covered with snow, and everything was white as far as the eye could see.
Moss was waiting outside, his face was flushed by the cold wind, and he was rubbing his hands repeatedly. Merlin didn't appreciate the snow scene, so he hurriedly got into the carriage and said to Moss, "Let's go."
The carriage started gently, and Merlin leaned against the carriage. He suddenly felt that the carriage seemed a little empty today.
"Wait, what about Mei Xue?"
Merlin hurriedly asked Moss before.
"Miss Mei Xue left the castle a long time ago."
Hearing Moss' answer, Merlin shook his head slightly, and then he remembered that Mei Xue followed Swordsman Pero to Gran City and would stay there for several days, and these few days, there is no need for the church to go there. went.
The etiquette class would not be held until the afternoon, and Merlin was free to arrange this morning. He thought for a while. He had only been in this world for a few days, and he had been to only a handful of places, and only the antiques from Nathan could make Merlin feel something new.
In particular, the magical relief made Merlin interested in antiques from the Morta Empire period.
"Moss, stop, stop going to church, go to Mr. Nathan's."
Merlin yelled at Moss.
