A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

Teacher Merlin and Brother Eddie, who had been missing for two days, finally came back.

What it looked like when you left, it will still be the same when you come back...

Oh no, there is still a noticeable difference.

The most obvious difference is that there is a black eagle on Brother Eddie's shoulder.

That eagle looked majestic and majestic, its jet-black feathers were like shining thick ink, not to mention how beautiful it was.

Kai rushed over as soon as he saw the eagle, his eyes were shining, and it was obvious that the "man's blood" was ignited again.Although Artoria was a step behind, when she came over, she looked curiously at the eagle standing on the man's shoulder with its head upright, and finally said something surprising:

"Wow, Brother Eddie, what's its name? The more I look at it, the more I realize that it looks exactly like you."

Kai was still trying to communicate with Ying with bright eyes, and when he heard that, he also subconsciously said: "Yes, in this way, it is indeed very similar."

Eddie: "What"

At this time, only Lucas Benying understood the incisive words, and waved his wings happily: "Quack quack!"

That's right!Children have good eyesight!It has indeed inherited one percent of Lord Eddie's heroic appearance!Worthy of the trust of the Pharaoh.

The "similarity" here cannot be said to be "feeling". Eddie has to be rebuilt to become as lively as Lucas. The most intuitive impression of Artoria and Kai is the image of a man and an eagle. above is similar.

All are golden eyes.

They are all in black, and they don't even want to mix any other colors.

Ah, isn't this—exactly the same thing!

Artoria: "Really, Mr. Merlin, you think so too."

The mentioned teacher Merlin: "..."

Teacher Merlin: "Haha."

"No, I don't think it's like it at all. There's nothing like it. That's right, it's impossible to be like my Eddie just because of this domineering look, huh."

Artoria: "..."

Kay: "..."

Eddie: "Hey, did you add two terrible words in front of my name? I want to die"

Look at that staring look.

This expression disgusted Merlin to the end.

And the fist that was about to hit Merlin's head in minutes.

"It's still very domineering to show off your power with your teeth and claws"-Mr. Meilin is implying that Brother Eddie

Artoria thought suspiciously.But he didn't know that his guess ran counter to Teacher Mei Lin's true thoughts, not to mention a thousand miles away, and it was extraordinarily precise, poking at the unknown wound in the teacher's heart.

Well……

Coming back this time, Merlin also had some less obvious but real changes.

He is a flower magician who makes people feel like a spring breeze when he smiles, and feels kind and gentle. He is obviously a nightmare, but he is not hesitating to help human beings.In essence, apart from his liking for pranks, his venomous tongue is quite stinging, his bad taste is serious, and he has a dark history of cheating women's feelings by being promiscuous... and other shortcomings, the rest of him is still very good...

Wait, after eliminating the shortcomings, isn't there only his face, voice and tiny advantages left?

All in all... all in all.

Merlin still has advantages.

In the past, she deliberately kept a distance from humans. Even Artoria, the student who spent the longest time with her, didn't know the true face of Nightmare very well.

It is precisely because it is very difficult for someone to walk into his heart, it can even be said to be almost impossible, so once that person really appears, he will wholeheartedly——be kind to that person.

He is so meticulous that he will pay attention to every detail that happens to that person.

Usually, we have to stay together no matter what. Anyone who intends to approach that person will be closely observed. Once he realizes the crisis, he must not hesitate to use the most subtle way to resolve it before the influence spreads...

No.

This is not an advantage at all, is it! ! !

……

Merlin started a silent but smoky struggle.

That was definitely the toughest and most upsetting struggle he'd ever faced.

He seldom gets angry, and when he has emotional ups and downs, they don't show it overtly.Therefore, as long as you see a little condensation on the magician's gentle and amiable face that seems to freeze the expression, it is enough to realize that he is already in a bad mood at the moment.

The object of the silent struggle, that is, his enemy, is not human beings at all.

No doubt about it, that damned hawk named Lucas.

The days that have passed are enough for Merlin to get the words out of Eddie's mouth and get a general understanding of the specific situation of the enemy—not just Lucas.

Long, long ago, Eddie had an eagle named Lucas, but the original Lucas didn't live long, died for him.This information is briefly mentioned in the part of the Epic of Gilgamesh about Eddie's battle with Ishtar.

His close companion died, and he wandered for about 1000 years, and by accident, he took an apprentice in Egypt.

That "apprentice" was named Ozymandias, better known as Ramses II, the undoubtedly great pharaoh.

Eddie watched that pharaoh grow up, and more than ten years passed in a flash. The grown-up pharaoh gave the later Lucas to the teacher, hoping to keep him so that he would not leave him for a long journey.

However, Eddie still left.After that, he and his apprentice never met again.

Merlin: "Good job—no, no, no, what I'm saying is that it's not a good thing for an apprentice to be too clingy to his teacher, it's not conducive to his growth. If Arturia is also so clingy, I'll have a headache."

Don't take it seriously, he just casually comforted him to cover up his slip of the tongue, without any sincerity at all, wishing that Eddie would walk more simply at that time.

Of course, on the other hand, Artoria is more clingy to Eddie than him.

Back to the point.

Eddie obviously still omitted many important details. When talking about certain turning points, the subtle sense of disappointment that appeared in his expression was seen by those who cared, and he found it very garish.

From the details, from the intuition, and the feeling of jealousy and loathing that is getting deeper and deeper, like a cloud that cannot be erased, Merlin can completely believe that: Ramses II, who is often The human being that Eddie mentioned with melancholy or nostalgia is his "enemy".

There is no doubt that his rivals will become heroic spirits after death.

However, the two in front——Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the former is fearless, the latter is a little tricky, but these two can only be honestly squatting in the Hall of Valor, and they cannot threaten to accompany them for a long time Him next to Eddie.

Ozymandias is also in the Hall of Valor, but unlike the previous two, he also arrogantly left behind a very threatening helper who cannot be easily expelled.

Eddie's affection for Lucas runs deep.

Eddie's affection for Ozymandias also runs deep.

With the inseparable connection between the eagle and the pharaoh, no matter how much time has passed, as long as a man raises his eyes and sees the eagle that is always by his side, he will always think of the person who gave him the eagle.

Even if the specific memory picture fades away, he will always remember such a person.What's more, when I think about it time and time again, the imprint left in my heart is deepened time and time again. How can it be possible to forget it after so many repetitions.

"..."

"...It's really haunting."

Whispering in a voice that Eddie couldn't hear, the white-haired magician sighed softly, and then looked at the man's back with helplessness.

"Obviously I am so tolerant to you, and I am willing to endure what happened in the past. But, only this one..."

I can't tolerate it.

Because it is already a naked threat.

He is inclusive of him, and he is aimed at others.The helplessness in his eyes was also for him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, how could he be so slow, the guys who really have evil intentions surrounded you.

every time--

every time.

When someone else's name comes out of his beloved's mouth, no matter how gentle his face is at this moment, there is a haze spreading silently in his heart, like dark toxin, flowing along the blood all over the body.

Just a little bit, and the line you set for yourself will break.He almost kissed the lips that could unconsciously say words that made him unbearably jealous, to let the man know how angry he was.

"envy".

This is a word with a lot of meaning.

……

"Brother Eddie, where is Lucas, why didn't you see it?"

Hearing the girl's question again, Eddie was getting used to it.

These days, he had heard Artoria ask this question countless times, and Lucas was the only one who asked him.

Eddie also answered many times, but it seemed that Arturia was still a little curious.

Having been with Lucas for so long, Eddie was used to it. When the guy was around him, he liked to run around, and it was not uncommon for him to be out of sight for a day or two.

He never cared about it, because at about the same time, without him calling, Lucas came back by himself.

In the following years, because of old age, Lucas never left his side again.Now, it has become an elf and has returned to the state of the prime of life. It is understandable for Lucas to run outside for a while in a moment of excitement, to consume more energy that he could not squander before.

Therefore, Eddie always said to Artoria: "It's okay, it flew out to play, and it will come back in a few days at most." He still used a nonchalant tone.

The fact is exactly the same, Lucas disappeared for two or three days, and before the fourth day came, at dusk at the latest, he would appear in the sky, descend crookedly, and land on Eddie with incomparable precision.

This happens every time, without exception.

However, the only strange thing is that when rubbing against the man, Lucas still yelled inexplicably. After all, he was a mighty eagle, but he wanted to blow his hair like a frightened cat—sharp The black feathers that could easily cut off the flesh stood up one by one, in an attitude of absolute vigilance and ready to attack.

At this time, Eddie raised his eyebrows: "You two fought behind my back?"

In addition to Lucas, he asked about a certain magician who usually appeared behind him at this time.

Lucas: "Garrah!! Quack quack!"

beated!beated!Sir Eddie, hurry up and stay away from that sinister and cunning white nightmare!

Merlin: "No, although Lucas doesn't like me, I like Lucas very much. Don't worry, don't you want to travel together in the future? If you keep working hard, Lucas and I will definitely get along in harmony."

When he said that, he smiled at the man who looked back, and the smile was as gentle as his tone.

Not noticing anything unusual, Eddie's eyes softened a little, and he said, "One of them is enough trouble, don't..."

The words are not over yet.

Lukas, who was aggrieved and rubbing back and forth in his arms, transformed from a well-behaved eagle into a brutal raptor in a second, screaming, and pounced on the smiling magician like lightning.

For the enemy, Lucas will not show mercy, as long as it is scratched by its claws or feathers, at least one piece of meat must be scraped off.

However, this is for humans in general.

Merlin definitely cannot be included in the "fragile human" category.

Even if he claimed to be a weak magician who had to stand in the back row in battle, he couldn't believe a single word except magician.

Although he couldn't beat Eddie, he was more than enough to deal with Lucas, who had just become an elf not long ago.

In terms of strength, Lucas was completely crushed by Merlin.

As far as IQ and EQ are concerned, even Eddie, the eldest brother, was plotted against by a sinister and cunning magician without knowing anything, and Lucas, the younger brother, is even less capable of fighting.

At this time, from Eddie's point of view, the farce in front of him was that Lucas, who was suddenly stimulated, still didn't like Merlin, and chased after Merlin for a while, scratching the poor magician's white hair into a bird's nest , there seemed to be a few more dazzling blood marks on his face.

The white-haired magician was chased in a hurry, and he was still thinking about getting along with Lucas, so he didn't fight back, making him look even more pitiful.

Usually at this time, Eddie would immediately stop Merlin when he saw that Merlin was about to be bullied even worse by Lucas, who somehow became cruel.

Frowning, he yelled at Lucas, who was frowning, and dragged the eagle back by its wings. Eddie first patted the eagle's head symbolically, and then looked up at Merlin.

"--puff."

After just one glance, Eddie couldn't help but laugh.But when he almost laughed out loud, he still gave Merlin a little face by turning his face away.

"I heard it, you laughed, Eddie, how can you laugh at me--is it strange that I look like this now?"

Merlin seemed a little hurt, even his voice became pitiful.

"Yeah, it's killing me laughing."

Eddie admitted it quite frankly.

He didn't seem to care about Merlin's feelings at all, then turned his head, looked at the magician's messy appearance with blood marks and messy hair seriously, raised his chin slightly, and solemnly announced: "You must have brought it on yourself. !"

His Lucas will not attack people for no reason, so Merlin must be the first to provoke...

What?Said that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, completely ignoring the facts and siding with Lucas?

Isn't this a matter of course!

Merlin: "It's so unfair! How could—"

It's a waste of effort to talk about fairness to a man who protects his weaknesses.

Lucas, who had just been kneaded into a ball of eagle cake by his elder brother, naturally revived his spirit, and could show off his might to the enemy again.However, it hasn't been long before it's spirited——

Lucas: "!"

Still unable to comprehend just how insidious the Nightmare was, the Eagle was shocked, stiffened, and petrified.

It unexpectedly found that Lord Eddie clearly said that the nightmare was self-inflicted, but he didn't seem to hate him, clean him up, or stay away from him.

Lord Eddie, even after a short hesitation, raised a hand and touched the wound on Mengmai's face that was so shallow that it was only a thin line.

"Screaming so badly, I thought you were really going to be disfigured... It's nothing if there is only a little blood, it will heal tomorrow."

Lucas (sluggish): "...ga"

This is not the biggest blow.

Immediately afterwards, the warm hand that Lord Eddie often used to caress it was quickly held down by the nightmare that made eagles disgusted.

Covering the back of his hand, and letting the man's palm gently stick to his cheek, Merlin slightly lowered his eyelids, so that the color brewing in his eyes could not be seen clearly, but the corners of his lips curled up.

"But...it still hurts. Really."

"Cut, hold on. Otherwise, quickly use your best magic to heal the small wound."

"Ah - there is no need to waste magic power on such a trivial matter. Okay, I will bear with it, Eddie, please help me rub the medicine and rub it, and it won't hurt."

"Rub your fart. It would be nice to rub some medicine on you, it's too little."

Etc., etc!Why is there such a harmonious dialogue!

Lucas (as if struck by lightning): "Quack quack quack!"

He didn't understand why the situation in his favor would suddenly turn around, but Lucas still realized: the nightmare bullied it and couldn't speak, and Eddie couldn't understand Elvish, and he deceived Eddie again!

Brush it!

Lucas desperately struggled in the adult's one-handed confinement, fighting with his life to poke Nightmare's eyeballs blind.

However, Eddie: "Lucas, you have played enough, it's time to rest, if you want to make trouble, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Lucas's struggles were thus contained.

The truth naturally continued to be buried because of this.

——In fact, the real reason why Lucas disappears for a few days every two days is not that he is playful, but that the evil nightmare keeps silent and uses the insidious means of a magician without anyone noticing , Throwing Lucas a thousand miles away from Lord Eddie!If it were to fly with its wings, wouldn't it take several years to fly back.

Fortunately, the elf Lucas and Eddie signed a contract, so he got some of Eddie's special abilities, including space movement.

It battled wits and courage with Merlin—it failed disastrously, and was thrown to the sky where God knows where, and it flew by itself and shifted through space.

Lucas was in great pain and felt that he had failed the pharaoh's expectations.

Lucas was very angry and felt that the nightmare was the most evil creature in the world.

Lord Eddie has been deceived by the nightmare, and Lucas is in a particularly bleak situation.After very difficult thinking, Lucas decided to find another way to seek helpers who could help him expose the true face of the nightmare.

Naturally, there is no other candidate for this "helper".

That is—the innocent and lovely Miss Artoria Pendragon!

……

……

Although the reality is too cruel for Lucas, who is full of expectations, he is doomed to be alone and helpless.

Except for it, no one has discovered the "true face" of the nightmare.

It's not that the disguise is too good, but that Merlin's attitude has only subtly changed to a certain person.

In front of Arturia and Kai, he was still the reliable teacher—the "most of the time" in front of the reliable has been omitted. Since Eddie appeared, Merlin seemed to deliberately restrain his frivolity, and even more be able to gain the trust of others.

Young people won't notice the difference.

Because it has long been known that Teacher Merlin has what seems to be "love" for Brother Eddie, the impulsive Arturia was stopped by Kay, and she only said not to get involved in the affairs of adults. The ambiguous behavior that will be done in front of them, they all default to that as being in love.

fall in love...

"Mr. Merlin is really cunning. Obviously I also 'love' Brother Eddie, but now Brother Eddie stays with him all day and doesn't talk to me anymore."

Arturia was still slightly dissatisfied.

She's not a clingy girl either, at least to a lesser extent than a certain pharaoh.However, even so, Arturia also hoped that after training every day, or after completing the tasks assigned to her by Teacher Merlin, she could talk intimately with Eddie.

However, such a small pleasure was taken away by Mr. Mei Lin who was obsessed with "falling in love".

Not only did Lucas disappear from time to time, but the number of times Eddie appeared in front of them was also decreasing.

Although the reduction was not much, but... Basically, when Arturia and Kai saw him, he was asleep.

On the hillside, in the lawn, or by the quiet lakeside, Teacher Meilin hugged him in a rather intimate posture.

For the innocent teenagers and girls, although this scene caused them a little bit of dissatisfaction, overall, it was extremely warm and beautiful.

The white-haired nightmare put the sleeping man between her legs, and wrapped her arms tightly around the man.He wrapped his arms around his waist, folded his hands, and buried his tender face deeply into the man's neck, sniffing the man's pure silver long hair, his eyes filled with infatuated satisfaction.

- Shh.

When he finds young people staring over here, the teacher whose deep desire has not been satisfied will make quiet gestures to them from afar.

His chuckle seemed sly, as if he was telling them that what he was doing now was a sweet secret, a surprise that was still in preparation, and he couldn't tell the man who was sleeping in his arms with peace of mind.

"Too cunning, Teacher Merlin. I really want to expose him."

The young people said this in private, but out of goodwill towards the unfamiliar concept of "love" which is still far away to them, and also the relief that Mr. Merlin has finally reformed, they still decided to keep this secret.

Moreover, they thought that Eddie knew, so it couldn't be called a "secret".

Regarding this point, I am not guessing out of thin air, but have confirmed it with my own eyes.

From time to time, the man who was gently embraced by Merlin would also wake up from a light sleep, and slowly open his eyes in the sight of Arturia and the others.

I don't know if it's an illusion, or it's because I just woke up, the man's golden eyes are not as bright as usual, but a little psychedelic purple mixed in.

But the purple color quickly disappeared, and the man closed his eyes again...

——ignorance, unconsciousness.

The "net" has already been woven.

Silently infiltrating, Nightmare sent its own power into the body of the beloved human being bit by bit, leaving a mark of a flower petal on the edge of the free ankle, which would not be found without careful search.

The "stem" of the flower grows in, unhindered, and touches the depths of the soul.

Merlin didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach.

What is he?It's just that he can't bear it, can't leave, there are too many disturbances in reality, and the time seems so short, he wants to let his lover stay by his side as much as possible, and only be alone with him.

Compared with his nightmare counterparts, he does it more gently and does not cause any harm to his lover, so where is the problem?

It wasn't enough to expand the shadow in my heart to such an extent.

All because of "jealousy".

It is also because he is really not a human being, and he has not yet understood that the behavior of a human being when he truly loves someone is fundamentally different from the behavior of the lover he believes treats him.

Merlin didn't understand for the time being, but he was learning.

Merlin is only extremely urgent at certain times, but he is very patient when it comes to things that require long-term planning.As he said, he who is almost immortal has enough time to accompany his "lover", and naturally he can also learn the emotion that arouses his strong desire during this long and endless period.

time……

The most indispensable time.

He carefully collects the wreath that his "lover" wove for him in the end, and he is delighted and secretly surging.

Take Eddie into the dream he wove.

Even in a dream, she can only hug the sleeping man tightly like a treasure.

"……no."

"Still not satisfied."

"It's come to this point, why should I still cover up? Desires should exist, yes, my desire for you..."

Having been alone many times in the dream, Merlin found that he was still not satisfied.

He even felt that he was too hesitant. Isn't it the most normal thing to be lingering with his lover?

The last emptiness in the already distorted heart was finally, finally swallowed up by the unsatisfied desire.

at last.

at last.

In another dream that was quietly woven, the setting was exactly the same as the beautiful sea of ​​flowers in Avalon, and Merlin pressed his sweetheart in the middle of the flowers with great familiarity.

In the past, it was stagnant at this step, at most greedily looking at the quiet face of the lover, and then secretly kissing his sweet lips.

This time, he was kissing him too, but it was an unscrupulous kiss.More unscrupulous hands, wanting to untie the clothes that the lover always guards against.

"Eddie..."

Merlin called out the man's name softly, and the infatuation could not be concealed in his voice.

His hands are still down.

"If only you could just look at me."

His kisses became more presumptuous.

"I think……"

he wants--

……

……

In a dead moment.

Merlin's movements stopped suddenly, like ice climbing up his body, and suddenly froze.

Their lips just separated.

Just at such a close distance...

Merlin saw it.

The man who was supposed to fall into a deep sleep and let him do whatever he wanted opened his eyes at this moment.

He looked at him indifferently.

It would be nice if there were emotional ups and downs, but the problem is, there aren't any.Apart from the calmness of death, there was no extra emotion in the golden eyes.

At last.

Calm back.

All that is left is a momentary shattering, and then a little bit of trust remaining, which turned into a very faint disappointment.

In the end, even "disappointment" no longer exists.

……

Merlin will always remember that look.

Not only because, that was the last time Eddie looked at him.It seemed that at that moment, he saw something that he had subconsciously ignored for too long from those piercingly cold golden eyes.

Still do not understand.

Still do not reflect.

Why Eddie is leaving.

Nothing was said, nothing was left behind, just like that, leaving him behind.It's like the feeling when you first met, when you were completely treated as air...

No, it hurts even more than that.

Merlin was obviously obsessed with it.

Even if the man had been away from him for too long, even if Artoria finally reached the age of 15 when she agreed to give a gift, she drew the sword in the stone and became the destined king, the man never came back——Merlin still didn't realize his innocence. mistake.

He firmly believes that men love him.

suffering.

sad.

Even, with resentment.

He has learned all those extremely complicated "feelings" that human beings have because of a ruthless lover.

"It's too much. But, I still want to get you back."

You don't need to imitate anyone who can't be tied down with inextricable shackles, you just need to lock him in Avalon, the high tower that once led him to look far away, and never let him leave again.

"I will find you."

"As long as human history continues and my sight can still move forward, then you, who can only move forward, must—"

must……

Sure, what?

Merlin's voice that implied pain and struggle stopped at this moment.

He reacted abruptly.

Has been ignored by him.

The direction that I have never thought about——

"..."

"I……"

"How is it possible. The time is not right at all. If that is the case, wouldn't it be—"

A look of astonishment appeared on his face, but in his pupils, there was nothing but despair spreading to the extreme.

He recalled a small incident that he thought was insignificant that happened many years ago.

That's why.

He finally found out.

——I made a, what a stupid mistake.

*****

"Okay, today's training is over. Let's take this good opportunity when everyone is not in a hurry to sleep, and enter the long-lost story education time!"

"Tell a story... as long as it's not a story you've seen countless times before."

"Don't worry, today I'm going to tell you a new, very interesting story that I just learned. It's probably hundreds of years ago according to our time. The protagonist of the story has a very interesting name. It's called——Eric Alexander· Hubert Nicholas Augustus."

"This—is there really someone with such a name? Why does it feel like it was made up by force?"

"Of course, the person with this name is a very famous king in history, or rather, notorious... Well, what's the matter, Eddie?"

Merlin was following his old habit of telling stories to the young people when he had nothing to do.However, today's story had just begun, and the man sitting next to them suddenly let out a surprise, as if quite surprised.

"It's okay, just a little surprised."

The man said, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Is it a coincidence? It's exactly the same as the pseudonym I thought of for myself, and there's not even a single word missing..."

"What?! So your taste is so bad!"

"roll roll roll!"

A fairly small episode, and it passed in a flash.Immediately afterwards, Merlin continued to tell his story.

As a story, the length is too long, let's simplify it a little.

The time is hundreds of years ago.

A man whose name and surname were put together like random, was the most notorious devil of that era.

Why is it notorious?Because on that piece of soil illuminated by the glory of a certain god, only that man dared to disobey God unscrupulously, and only that man established a country that rejected the praise of God.

He was extremely cruel, yet extremely powerful. He killed countless kings of hostile countries who were gods and devout believers on the battlefield alone.

His original subjects were robbers and robbers who did all kinds of evil.

He is regarded as the incarnation of the devil, bewitching the ignorant people to believe in him and to betray the teachings of God, including an ignorant woman who was once a nobleman of Israel and a devout believer of God.

The woman who was bewitched was called Antaxia, and this name was also used as the endorsement of the witch in later generations, and appeared together with the name of the devil Eric in the mouths of those who were persecuted by him.

Fortunately, God is merciful.

Seeing the suffering in the world and hearing the cries of the people, God entrusted the mission of punishing the devil to a young king.

Adhering to God's guidance, King Solomon ordered a crusade against the kingdom of sinners, and finally, the hell on earth was destroyed very smoothly. The demon king who deceived people also died in the crusade, and died in the hands of God's spokesperson.

It is said that at the moment of the death of the devil, people's ears were filled with joyful music, and an unprecedented phenomenon appeared in the sky.

It is said that it was the destiny of God—the great king, the wise, wise, and powerful Solomon, he destroyed the devils summoned by the sinners. This is an unprecedented feat, and he should be praised by future generations.

"What I said earlier is only the version in the religious books. Since Eric appeared as Solomon's strongest enemy, his position was directly placed in the most evil position, and his description was exhausted. .”

"For example, he is the devil in this world, with an immortal body. King Solomon broke the devil's spell, but before Eric finally died, there was no trace of integrity in his body, and all the blood flowed out without dying. After dragging on for ten days, he died when the first ray of sunlight fell in front of him in the morning of No. 11."

The most interesting point is that the descriptions in religious classics and some versions circulated among the people are completely different extremes.

Even hundreds of years later, there are still quite a few people who firmly believe that Eric, known as the "devil king", is actually a very wise king.

It was true that villains with unclean hands gathered in his land at the beginning, but later, there was an influx of fleeing civilians, and he did not drive these people away, but left them behind.

Taxes are extremely low, people are never forced to serve in military service, and festivals and celebrations are held every three to five times.Moreover, there is a high degree of freedom of thought, and there is no forced belief.For quite a long period of time, the country of sinners has been a state where people can't say how rich their lives are, but they can all eat enough to eat.

Most of Merlin's interest in Eric came from this.

Facing Arturia and the others, he sighed: "We have no way of finding out the truth about the past. But, personally, the king with such an interesting name is also very interesting himself."

"Just because he is definitely an extremely willful human being, this..."

Having said that, Merlin suddenly paused.

Although he was telling a story to the little ghosts, his attention was still allocated to the man who was also listening.

So, at this time, he noticed.

Eddie's expression seemed to change slightly, and for a moment, he seemed to be taken aback.

"What's the matter?" Merlin had a vague premonition in his heart, so that he asked abruptly.

It was his words that made the man raise his eyes and look over.

"fine."

Eddie said so again.

His expression was as usual, nothing strange, as if he was saying that it was just a story that happened hundreds of years ago, and the protagonist who was messed up had long been wiped out, how could it shock his mood.

"yes……"

"Ah."

Merlin and Eddie met eyes.

He really didn't see the slightest wavering earlier, and even felt that, vaguely, the man's eyes became a little brighter.

"If it's okay...that's fine."

After a short pause at the end, Merlin felt relieved.

He believed it.

Believe the man's words, thus skip
