Chapter 161 The Warmth of Home

This young knight was Argus who had followed old Wilson all the way from Blackwater City to the Black Moon Kingdom. Argus was just an ordinary knight, not even a heavy armored knight. He also has absolutely no qualifications as an elemental swordsman. M.

But a year later, when Merlin saw Argus again, he found that Argus had grown so burly, as if he had grown twice, and his physical fitness was surprisingly good. peak.

Merlin immediately guessed that it must be Old Wilson who taught Argus the peculiar posture on the mysterious relief, so that he could have such a strong physical quality.

Argus was also very surprised. Looking at Merlin who had uncovered his black robe, he almost trembled and said, "Baron... Lord Baron? Is it really you?"

Merlin nodded and said, "Yes, I'm back, let's go, let's go in together."

After that, Merlin took Argus and walked into the castle together.

Celia and Consine were both carried into the hall by the maids. When Merlin came to the hall, Argus had explained Merlin's identity to the two young maids.

These two maids entered Wilson Castle after Merlin left. Now that they heard that the young man in front of him was Baron Merlin, the real owner of Wilson Castle, they hurriedly sent Celia and Kang to the castle. Si Yin put it down and saluted Merlin respectfully, "Lord Baron!"

Merlin waved his hand and set his eyes on Celia and Consine. The two little guys were not afraid to see strangers, and they blinked their big eyes slightly and looked at Merlin very curiously.

Merlin stretched out his hand and hugged Celia and Consine. The two little guys didn't cry, they looked very quiet, but they seemed curious about the black robe on Merlin's body, and they kept grabbing at Merlin's black robe. robe.

Looking at Celia and Consine, Merlin was not particularly excited, but there was a faint warm feeling flowing in his heart, which was the best proof that he was in this world, Celia and Consine His blood was flowing all over his body.

"Merlin!"

"Merlin!"

Suddenly, two familiar voices rang out, and Merlin looked up. The two beautiful women who were hurriedly running down the second floor were Merlin's wife, Shirley and Avril.

Shirley doesn't seem to have changed, while Avril is younger. After a year, her figure has become more plump, and her body shape has become more rounded. Originally, she looked as delicate as a porcelain doll.

It also seems to be more exciting.

Avril now looks like a mature woman full of endless temptation, not the delicate porcelain doll of the past.

Merlin put down Celia and Consine with a smile on his face, hurried up to meet him, and said softly, "Yes, I'm back."

Sherry and Avril both showed surprises on their faces, hurried to Merlin's side, and hugged Celia and Consine respectively.

Avril was still shy and quiet. Even though she kept staring at Merlin, she seemed to have a lot to ask, but she didn't speak first. It was Shirley who seemed more capable and generous, and said to Merlin, "Merlin, we received a letter from you before, saying that it might take two or three years to come back."

Merlin shook his head helplessly and said, "Something went wrong in the Dark Spirit Realm, so I came back early, but maybe I will leave again."

Immediately afterwards, Merlin asked about Celia and Consine again, and brought up children. Even Avril, who was always shy, kept talking non-stop.

Merlin listened carefully and looked at Consine and Celia. There seemed to be a warm current flowing in his heart, and he felt very warm. Only at home and in front of his relatives would he feel relaxed. .

A few people chatted for a long time, and the maids left wisely, and Merlin asked about old Wilson.

"By the way, what about father? Still in the territory?"

Shirley nodded and said: "Yes, my father has always been in the territory, taking care of the town of Consine, but recently because of the tense atmosphere with the city-state of Lebis, the merchants in the town of Consine have already Much less, in the past few months, the tax revenue in the territory has been reduced by at least 30%.”

Speaking of this, Shirley seems very helpless, and in the entire Wilson Castle, old Wilson is in the territory all the year round, and Merlin has not come back, so almost everything in the castle is played by Shirley and the old housekeeper. Take care.

Perhaps because of Shirley's ability, the old butler has rarely intervened in the castle's affairs recently. Shirisse is all arranging, and there is no mistake, and the arrangements are in good order.

So when it came to the taxation of the territory, Shirley frowned tightly.

"Lebis City-State?"

Merlin thought of the sneaky elemental swordsmen he encountered along the way back to Pugas City, presumably the ones sent by the city-state of Lebis.

"What exactly happened?"

Merlin knew very little about Lebis City-State. He just knew that Lebis City-State was a city-state near Pogars City-State. Before he left Pogars City, everything was fine.

Shirley also shook her head and said, "I don't know exactly what the reason is. Maybe only Count Selin knows the reason. The atmosphere has become more and more tense in recent months, and even Count Selin has recruited some people again. The caster seems to be preparing for the big battle."

Avril looked at Merlin, and then whispered, "Yeah, since you left, Earl Selin has recruited two more spellcasters, especially the Beers Mage..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shirley hurriedly said, "Avril!"

Merlin frowned, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Avril, continue talking!"

Avril didn't dare to say any more at this time. Instead, she looked at Shirley with some caution. Seeing Avril's appearance, Merlin knew that Shirley was in Castle Wilson and had become the real owner.

But Merlin didn't have any dissatisfaction, it was naturally great to have a capable wife, so Merlin turned his eyes to Shirley, and said in a low voice, "Since Avril doesn't say anything, Shirley, then you Say!"

Shirley was a little helpless, but seeing Merlin's slightly gloomy expression, she hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's like this, more than three months ago, the spellcaster Beers Mage recruited by Earl Selin, I don't know where it came from. I found out that you once defeated Merillon in the Abyss Castle, and you also got Merillon's ring."

"Later, he made all kinds of excuses to enter the Castle Wilson, but we all refused. Later, he simply broke into the castle directly. He may think that you must have left something there. Wilson Castle, so trying to find these things."

"But in the end, Mage Hill arrived and scared away Mage Bells..."

After Shellis finished speaking, Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly, his body exuding a hint of coldness, looked at Shellis and Avril, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Shirley and Avril shook their heads and said, "We are all fine, thanks to Mage Hill... But I heard that Mage Hill seems to be in a bad situation, and he hasn't made any public appearances recently."

Merlin nodded. This is why Merlin asked the old man in black robe to take care of the Wilson family at the same time he asked Earl Selin to look after the Wilson family. If it wasn't for the old man in black robe, I'm afraid Castle Wilson would not Calm like this.

However, Merlin knew about the old man in black robe. Maybe he was "surprised" to leave Mage Bells, but he must have paid a considerable price. After all, his spell model was unstable and he could not easily use spells, otherwise the spell model would change at any time. may crash.

"Bels? This time I owe Mage Hill a favor... But you'll be fine. Well, don't talk about these unpleasant things now, let me see Celia and Consine..."

Merlin turned his gaze to the two children who were writhing on the ground, and then, together with Shirley and Avril, began to tease Celia and Consine again, enjoying the rare and warm family time. For a while, bursts of cheerful laughter came from the hall...

Inside the Earl's Castle, a guard was carefully reporting the news that "Baron Merlin" had returned to Pugas City to Earl Selin.

A look of surprise appeared on Earl Selin's face, and he asked eagerly, "You really see that it's Baron Merlin?"

The guard nodded solemnly and said, "It's indeed Baron Merlin, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Haha, okay, okay, now that Baron Merlin is back, we have another reinforcement!"

Earl Serin is really happy. He has been frowning about Lebis recently. Now that Merlin is back, this is the best news in recent months.

"Oh? Was it the Merlin Mage who resolved the crisis in Lord Count's castle and defeated Merillon, the castle of the abyss last time?"

Next to Earl Serin, there were two men with calm expressions, one of them suddenly spoke, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Earl Sailin nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, it's Mage Merlin! But he is now the baron of my Pugas city-state, Mage Bells, haven't you always wanted to see Mage Merlin? Now It's an opportunity, and I'll have someone find Mage Merlin immediately."

Having said that, Earl Selin immediately sent a few bodyguards to look for Merlin at Castle Wilson.

"Yeah, I really want to meet this Merlin mage."

Mage Bells looked out the door, and there was a trace of eagerness in his eyes...

"Lord Baron, there are some guards outside, saying that they were sent by Lord Earl, and they want to invite Lord Baron to the castle."

The burly Argus suddenly walked in from outside the castle and said respectfully to Merlin.

The smiles on Shirley's and Avril's faces gradually disappeared, and their eyes turned to Merlin.

Merlin stood up slowly, and said in a calm tone, "Since Earl Salin has invited me, I will naturally go, and it's time to meet Earl Salin!"

Merlin's breath was a little gloomy, and then he walked out of Wilson Castle directly, followed by two guards, and walked towards Earl Selin's castle. RS
