Three days later in the morning, Sheldon was woken up by the noisy sounds of children. When he turned to look at Merlin beside him, his eyebrows were almost squeezed together.

"Haha! Stop here, you weakling!"

"You...you are a weakling! I used the fireball technique to burn your butt!"

Obviously, the soundproofing environment of this dormitory is extremely poor, and Sheldon must consider putting soundproofing cotton on this room. He picked up Merlin, washed briefly, and at the same time pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

.

There were at least three people making a fuss outside, and Sheldon was now wondering why the three of them didn't tear down the ceiling here. He didn't read the terms of the work carefully, but just read the general outline of the contract. Next time, he must pay attention to the details.

Otherwise, there would be a crushing scene like this. He looked at Merlin looking pitifully at him, and suddenly he felt love and affection, and a nameless fire rose in his heart that he couldn't help but feel.

"Are you okay?" Sheldon wiped Merlin's face with a warm wet towel. The little boy tried to grab it and wipe it himself, "This is too noisy..."

"I still want to sleep for a while..." Merlin rubbed his eyes and coquettishly said, "When the time comes, I must sleep for a while in the car."

He yawned widely, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Ah... This feeling of emptiness is really uncomfortable. It's like the food in a full man's belly being forcibly taken away. Most of Merlin's abundant magic power reserves have been restricted and sealed, and he can't adapt to it for a while.

Now he is in the state closest to an ordinary person. Since he absorbed all the power of the [Original Rune], the magic power belonging to the nightmare has also been integrated with the magic power he absorbed...

Merlin didn't know what his current level of magic power was. He seemed to have jumped from one strange circle into another. He was afraid that the magic power he released would be as small as a drop of water and he would be ridiculed by others.

The noise started again outside the door.

"Why aren't the people inside awake yet? Dogs are not as lazy as they are! The servants who promised to protect us are sleeping like pigs." This was a delicate female voice.

A crisp and powerful male voice answered the girl's words: "Haha! If you talk behind people's back like this, what if they throw you down before you reach your destination? You can't even throw a fireball!"

"

"Hmph! Your magic level is equivalent to farting! What a stinky fart! You can't even burn a flower or plant!" The girl outside was not to be outdone and stuck out her tongue at the other party. Sheldon heard this slightly wet

There was a sticky sound, and he could already imagine the splashing of saliva.

"You guys, don't make any noise...if they open the door——"

At this point, the closed door in front of the children suddenly opened. The bright sunshine outside the door seemed to have encountered a dark cauldron, turning into thin and hard noodles, which were grasped and stuffed by a pair of invisible big hands.

Into the scary dark pot.

Sheldon saw the three people with dark faces in front of him. At the same time, he felt Merlin holding his hand with force, as if to express his strong dissatisfaction.

"You are..." Sheldon probed cautiously, "from the tour group that is about to leave—"

The little boy with thin, straight short hair who was walking at the front took over Sheldon's words: "-Yes, we will ask you to take care of us for the rest of the journey! We already know that your name is Sheldon.

Marquez! My name is Link, the ugly girl with freckles is Xia Sisi, and the nerd with round glasses is Bruce! You don’t need to introduce us... Oh? This one

Is this person your son?"

Link's face was as rough as his words. He pointed his finger at Merlin, who was pouting and contemplating whether to declare his family status. There was a hint of contempt for everyone in his eyes.

"My name is Marin Marquez." Merlin naturally announced his pseudonym, "You guys were very noisy just now..."

"Don't call me ugly!" The yellow-haired Xia Sisi made a face, and the freckles on her face began to turn red, "You are a fool who deserves to be struck by lightning!"

Before they knew each other, these three people seemed to have continued their previous bickering and started to fight.

In addition to the three people, there are two children who are obviously in a master-slave relationship, one boy and one girl, standing quietly on the edge of the door frame. The clothes they wear don't look cheap at first glance. The girl's clothes...

...Sheldon couldn't find the right adjective. Like a maid?

This pair of boys and girls are really good friends, but Sheldon had an illusion that the boy in front of him had a mechanically precise and cold temperament in his purple pupils. The girl with a single ponytail looked at the boy with a look of longing.

The helplessness and fear of being close but not being able to get close.

"My name is Ellen Vanspield, and this is my maid, Noelle." Ellen raised her eyebrows, grabbed Sheldon's hand with familiarity, and shook it hard, "I hope

Enjoying this journey with you and your son that should never have happened to me."

It shouldn't have happened to me...

"Haha, hahaha! What Mr. Allen means is that I hope everyone can get along well..." Noelle put on a stiff smile, stepped forward first, and spoke to Sheldon.

"Oh, oh..." Sheldon vaguely sensed some interesting magic fluctuations from the other party. This little guy seems to have something interesting...

Allen tugged at the corner of Noelle's clothes, glared at her with his heroic eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth, and pretended to be smiling.

Sheldon checked around again to make sure no one else came out of any corner, and then sighed inaudibly: "Yes, my son and I will be your right-hand man to accompany you on your journey. Nothing is too much.

Just put forward your needs, and I hope you can also be tolerant of my son and give him more playmates."

"Look, Marin and Allen are a hundred times more handsome than you! Ugly!" Xia Sisi twisted Link's arm. The blue-haired boy grinned in pain, and the little girl ran to the two

Little boy in the middle.

Perhaps it was because Allen's whole body exuded the aura of being uninvited, so Xia Sisi finally took Merlin's hand and shook it hard.

Merlin looked at the freckled girl in front of him, feeling secretly amused.

"Hello, Marin, we will be friends from now on!" Xia Sisi grinned, "We want to play together!"

"Okay, okay..." Sheldon waved his hand, and it would be over if he continued like this, "Let's go to the lobby first and then talk."

Merlin pursed his lips. He did not ask for help from Sheldon and allowed himself to be dragged away. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"Let me tell you, the three of us are all warlocks with two magic lines, and we will all be good candidates for great warlocks in the future!" Xia Sisi smiled happily, and her every move was filled with joy.

Allen looked at his peers who were having meaningless interactions in front of him, with no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Let's go, Noelle." Allen spoke, one of the few words where his tone changed slightly, "Don't fall behind. I want to see what kind of wheel is playing in my father's heart this time."

"Young... Young Master..." Noelle was not used to the other party's title. "Your father must have his own plans to go out and see the world..."

"Seeing the world? Haha." Allen rolled his eyes unabashedly and said sarcastically, "Is turning me into a woman a way of seeing the world?"

He pulled out a smooth piece of paper from his arms. It was engraved with complicated magic patterns, and graceful magic crumbs were flowing out from every corner.

"I will not turn into a woman." Allen shook his head. In Noelle's eyes, this was a show of force and an unabashed protest against her father, "Absolutely not."

"Pfft..." A heartfelt smile broke out for the first time on the little girl's face, just like a rose that had been frosted overnight and gradually improved under the blowing of the warm wind.

"Oh?" Allen raised one eyebrow slightly, and he carefully looked at the blush on the face of the girl in front of him, "This is the first time you have really smiled since you came to my place."

"My relationship with you is not..." Noelle's face suddenly turned red, "My father will definitely redeem me!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Allen's steps gradually increased, and Noelle had to take small steps up.

Today, the two floors of the mercenary gathering were really lively. Ten mercenaries and fifty children gathered here. Each mercenary was surrounded by five noisy children. Their expressions were not good.

Sheldon saw an acquaintance.

"Hey, Peleleus." When he passed by the man who looked particularly dull, he deliberately patted the other man's shoulder, "You're here too."

For a moment, Prilius forgot to pull on his trouser legs and move towards the little kid who was begging for candy, and moved towards Sheldon with trembling feet.

Link and Xia Sisi actually stopped bickering at this time. The little girl bumped Bruce with her elbow, who was reading the book next to her. Then she pulled Merlin's clothes and pointed her index finger towards Prileus.

cheek.

"Look, he's so stupid."

Sheldon couldn't help covering his mouth and secretly laughed. This guy looks really stupid now...
