"I like the food in this restaurant, it tastes great, and the wine is good."

At noon, the Coulsons who had completed a successful dinner came out of the restaurant.

James Coulson, Merlin's adoptive father, was also a PE teacher at the time of Merlin High School.

This middle-aged man with good health and a little blessing is very interested. He met several acquaintances in the restaurant, so he drank a few more drinks, and now he is a little bit boozy.

He and Merlin walked together, with Mrs. Coulson and Phil, the youngest son in bad mood, walking behind.

"I said, Merlin, and Phil, what happened to the two of you? When you eat, you look sullen."

James lowered his voice and asked with concern. Merlin did not want to worry his family, nor did he want to tell his secret. So he shrugged and pretended to say to his father easily:

"It’s just the worries of young people, dad, don’t care. I was thinking about something. After I left home in August, you might as well shut down the farm and move to the city with my mother. You can take better care of it. Phil can take care of himself better."

"That farm can't be closed, my Merlin."

James, who already had white hair on his head, shook his head stubbornly and said to Merlin, who regarded himself as his own son:

"The ancestral home left by your parents was demolished, and I failed to keep it for you. Later, I exchanged the money for this farm. This is the only property I can leave for you. Dayton and Mey promised that they are my best friends, we grew up together, and I watched you born...hey."

James remembered the past. He relieved his breath and patted the eldest son on the shoulder. He said:

"Don’t worry, Merlin, you’re going to New York to study. Your cousin Mei is already there, and she will take care of you for us. As for things on the Wisconsin side, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll find someone to take care of the film. On the farm."

"Dad, you know, I don't actually care about this."

Merlin held James's arm. He looked back at his mother and brother. He said to James:

"I have barely seen my parents since I was born. You and my mother raised me. I don’t care much about things like heritage. You know, I have the ability to feed myself and you. I’m thinking, maybe Should we move out of Wisconsin, or else, will you go to New York with me?"

"New York? No."

James shook his head, he said:

"My grandfather's grandfather came to this land from Europe. Now, every generation of the Coulson family has grown up here and grown old. I don't go to New York, the big city of magic. I know you are a good boy , Merlin, you are very kind to us, but trust us, child, we can take care of ourselves after you leave home."

"Ok."

Merlin also knew that his suggestion was just a hot brain, maybe it was also related to the mysterious illusion he saw this morning. The sudden appearance of that thing disrupted Merlin's peaceful life for 18 years, and also made him always calm, revealing a trace of unexpected panic.

But in the final analysis, he is just a young man, and may have experienced some strange things more than other young people, but this does not mean how powerful he is.

"I will come back to see you often."

Merlin opened the door. He was hesitant to drive by himself, but continued to let Phil drive, but he didn't hesitate for too long, so he sat in the driver's seat. He twisted his rearview mirror and said to his parents:

"I promise to call every week and I will return as soon as I have a holiday, or you can go to New York to see me."

"I can move to your study when you leave."

Phil sat on the other side, fastened his seat belt, and said to his brother:

"There is also a garage, you will leave Lola to me, right? You won't drive it away! Right?"

"Ah, sorry, my Phil."

Merlin blinked, and he said to Phil:

"I can leave everything to you, but only Lola, Lola is mine."

"Do not!!!"

The young man's troubles came and went quickly. In just a meal, Phil recovered from the disaster of emotional deception. He pretended to desperately utter a wailing, which attracted three people in the car. Haha laughed.

In this joyous atmosphere, before turning on the car, Merlin deliberately looked left and right. This time, the figure did not appear again. Until he drove up the road and drove all the way back to the farm, there was nothing wrong with it.

It seems... it seems that everything that happened before is just a trivial illusion.

This also made Merlin slightly relieved.

However, at the moment when the Coulsons were happy, the mysterious man was standing there on a high **** of grassland a few kilometers away. He reached over and raised his brim, looking in the direction of Coulson Farm, and under his lowered brim, there was a playful smile in his eyes.

"Xiao Meilin, are you ready?"

He said to himself that the fingers in black gloves turned over, and a golden pocket watch appeared in his hand. With a clear sound, the pocket watch turned open, revealing that it was more than ten times more complicated and cumbersome than the normal pocket watch. Precision machinery.

The mysterious man looked down at "time", his mouth moved, as if talking to someone who could not be seen.

"Tonight, just tonight, the first'turn' of the Destiny Bone Dice, which will project on Merlin's Destiny, I will watch the whole process, and then go back and report to you."

The correspondent at the other end seemed to ask a question, which made the smile on the face of the mysterious person worse.

He raised his head, glanced at the direction of Coulson Farm, and replied:

"Of course, I guess...Mellin Xiao is ready. Even, he may be a bit impatient, just like us who have been waiting for a long time. Although, in our opinion, 18 years is just an afternoon tea time."

The mysterious man seems to be very talkative, and he really wants to continue talking, expressing his temperament wherever he is nowhere to be placed, but just after a few words, the mysterious man’s gaze suddenly turned to the other direction, his Eyes shrink, as if observing the power rising slowly under the earth in the distance.

After a moment, he said to the correspondent at the other end:

"Don't talk anymore...it's watching here, it's coming soon, I'm going to hang up, I don't want to let your big brother breath scare it away."

"Just so, wait for my good news."

The mysterious man stretched out his fingers with black gloves and tapped on the air in front of him. The light around his body was beating, like a closed curtain. In a moment, he covered this strangely dressed mysterious man. Into it. A gust of wind blew away all traces of him left on the earth, as if he had never existed.

The mysterious man actually stands still, but he seems to be standing in another dimension.

Allowing the blue cloak behind him to be blown in the ethereal pale wind, he looked at Coulson Farm, watching the dark red breath beneath the earth like a mist, slowly rising in the invisible horizon of mortals, It's like a fog looking for prey.

It is irritable, greedy, arrogant and angry, as hungry as the craving of a loved one, and has a gluttonous desire to devour the whole earth. It is jealous of all this, everything under the sun, which is favored by the Creator The world, looking out from its **** all the time, the dark whisper echoing, like an indescribable abyss.

That is clearly an evil force that does not belong to the human world.

"Sannomiya..."

The mysterious man shook his head. He stared at the extremely precise pocket watch in his hand and whispered:

"It's been so many years, and you still haven't grown. But how to say, you are still welcome to join this game."

"May you...have fun."

—————————————————————

Merlin did not notice the anomaly.

He didn't know the eyes he was watching behind him, just as he didn't know that his fate would turn to another road after tonight.

After eating with my family, everything was normal all afternoon, and there were no strange plots in the nonsense superhero comics that Phil liked to watch.

The earth did not split, the water flow did not reverse, the livestock did not die, everything was so beautiful, so normal.

Until the night came, Merlin, with the help of Phil, replaced the last glow plug for his own car Lola, and now he only needs to fill it up. This 1962 classic red convertible sports car can be used again. Gallop above the land.

At the thought of that scene, Merlin couldn't help but relax.

His adoptive father James loves cars. Although limited by his financial ability, he can’t collect those really good cars, but Lola is definitely James’ best collection. Now, this real “lady” must belong to Merlin.

"Phil, help me get the pipe wrench, Phil?"

Merlin, who was busy at the end of the car, was calling his brother’s name, but did not get a response. The whole garage was very quiet. This made Merlin jump in his heart. He hurried out of the car and found that Phil was lying in the corner of the garage On the shelf.

The young man had fallen asleep for some time. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be having a sweet dream.

"Ok."

Merlin did not disturb his younger brother's dream. He took the pipe wrench himself, cleaned the bottom of the car thoroughly, washed away the grease from his fingers, and then sat on the driver's seat of Lola for the first time as the owner of the car.

His fingers rubbed against the wiped clean car, like touching the perfect skin of a beautiful woman. His fingers were finally placed on the steering wheel. Merlin smiled, and the smile was full of satisfaction. With pride.

Which man doesn’t like cars?

Especially when it still belongs to you.

"what..."

Merlin leaned on the seat, stretched his body, stretched out a large lazy waist, he raised his arm and looked at the wrist watch, it was now dusk. The beautiful sunset is shining through the gaps in the garage into the dark garage interior.

All this is so quiet, so quiet that people want to sleep here beautifully.

So he closed his eyes...

"boom"

With a soft sound, Merlin suddenly awakened from the rest. He opened his eyes and was still sitting on Lola's driver's seat. Phil was still lying on the shelf and sleeping. But in front of Lola, a man in an ancient black dress with long white hair was striking Lola's car bonnet with his fingers, making a clear knock.

Merlin looked at this uninvited guy. He had never seen this man nearby. He noticed that there were some dark red lines on the man’s cheeks similar to scars, which looked abnormal and strange. a feeling of.

"Don't touch Lola!"

Merlin opened the door, and he instinctively scolded.

Behind him, his left hand quietly grabbed the pipe wrench on his hand. Once this heavy thing was waved, it could easily hit a man's head.

In a weird environment, the solid feeling of holding a weapon in your hand always makes people feel at ease.

Merlin stood a few meters away from the man. Under his scolding, the weird man stopped striking the hood. He looked back at Merlin as if he was looking at a rare item. .

It was only then that Merlin noticed that the man’s eyes were dark red, and apart from these eyes, as long as he looked away, the man’s face would be immediately forgotten in his mind...

This is obviously not normal!

His fingers tightened the pipe wrench again.

"Can I help you? Sir."

Merlin tried to make his voice as calm as possible, as if he really ignored the weird marks on the man's face, his heart-wrenching eyes, and the haze temperament that was incompatible with everything around him. .

"Have."

The man replied. His voice was very low, like the sound of waving a warhammer and letting it fall down. Although it was not sharp, it hurt the eardrums of the pierced person.

He looked at Merlin, he said:

"I'm here for you, mortal."

The man stretched out his fingers, a dark red flame beating at his fingertips, he tilted his head, looked at Merlin in front of him, and said blankly:

"Sign a contract with me..."

"Then take all the glory that you can imagine in your barren thinking, and become my "son."

Merlin's expression, at this moment...
