While Jot Brown was looking through the intriguing medical report in the infirmary, Merlin, who was well fed and drunk, had two days of rare peace, but this rare peace could not be maintained, because he had an uninvited guest in front of his door.Arthur, who had hidden the news of Hull's death, had a sad expression on his face at this time, and with a box of red nanmu in his hand, he knelt down on Merlin's door with a pout."
Headmaster, damn Arthur!
Ahhh ”He cried bitterly, if others saw it and heard it, they would definitely admire Arthur's superb acting skills.Teardrops of bean size ducked from his eye sockets, and the whites of his eyes were covered with tiny red threads, but if you looked closely, you would see that his face was deliberately smeared with some white powder.These powders are naturally used by ladies to whiten their cosmetics, so that Arthur's face looks more like a lucky man who has escaped death from a catastrophe.The seemingly tattered shirt on his body was also chosen after the servants had carefully matched them; The open-collared, loose-fitting blouse inadvertently made the staring Merlin see the bandage on his chest and the still healing, bleeding wound.As for the reason why he did so much, it was very simple, he wanted to make himself a victim.Judging from the appearance and acting skills alone, Arthur's performance so far can be said to be perfect.Whether it is the crying of the voice or the destitute clothes like being persecuted, there is nothing wrong with it.When Merlin opened his door and saw this scene, there was a trace of vigilance in Merlin's heart.Merlin smelled blood.Yes, the skull of the red nanmu box gave off a terrifying smell of blood.The smell of blood is often ominous, but in Arthur's case, it is rarely seen.Arthur, who had always been careful about his own etiquette, did not tolerate any odor on his body, and he would even sprinkle perfume on his body before and after exercise to cover up the smell of sweat.Even after the battle, Arthur would immediately go to the shower as soon as the situation allowed, and maintain his image of greatness.Merlin, who was well aware of Arthur's habits, felt uneasy at this time."
What's the matter?"
Merlin asked cautiously."
Lord Headmaster, Arthur should be damned.Arthur was unladylike and didn't have eyes to see people. ”Arthur cried out loudly, but he knew that he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only use trash talk to guide Merlin to continue asking questions.Arthur, who is obscure and meticulous about thick black studies, every word he says at this time is after thinking about it, and after rehearsing it in his mind many times, he feels that it is appropriate to say it.He knew that once he confessed all the facts, he would be at a disadvantage in this case.This will have an impact, or even a detrimental effect, to the plan he is about to implement.His dodging at this time was for the attack in the back.In the face of such Arthur, Merlin had a headache, but seeing that Arthur couldn't kneel for a long time, it was not a solution."
Get up and speak."
Merlin said this, but Merlin didn't let Arthur in the door, but stood inside the door himself, leaning against the edge of the door and acting as if he didn't care.Merlin's small action made Arthur's heart cool by half.It's a defensive body language, and it symbolizes that what you've done so far has been in vain.Unbeknownst to Arthur, Merlin had also seen some of the memories of the Mirror Ghost when he was manipulating spells in Chobuterland's bedroom.The image of Arthur had already been terrible in Merlin's heart, but Arthur himself did not know it.Arthur himself still thinks that in Merlin's mind, he is still the model student of that textbook standard.He wrapped his arms around Merlin's thighs, still screaming, "No, Arthur needs Principal Merlin's forgiveness to stand up." ”Merlin's brow furrowed, thinking to himself that this matter was obviously not good.If he asked him to stand up, he would naturally acquiesce that he could accept Arthur's misfortune; This also symbolizes that if Arthur has something else to shake out in the future, Merlin can only suffer this dumb loss alone.But if Arthur is soft-hearted and gets to his feet, I'm afraid Arthur will fight the snake with a stick after occupying the high ground of psychological warfare.Merlin felt a chord in his heart, put his right hand on Arthur's shoulder and pushed hard, and then snorted coldly, "Hmph!
If it was an ordinary thing, you wouldn't have come to me.I think you know that as well as I do, don't you?
Arthur. ”Arthur fell to the ground directly by this push, and a lot of blood oozed from his shirt on his right shoulder, which was obviously caused by Merlin's push.He leaned his palms back, propped up his upper body, and then used the back of his hand to pretend to wipe the tears that fell from the corners of his eyes.Arthur stopped sobbing and sighed, "Headmaster, Hull is dead.I killed it.His head is here. ”Arthur opened the lid of the box with his hand, revealing the head hidden inside.Merlin saw the disbelief on Hull's face before he died, and his eyes that hadn't been closed.There seemed to be many emotions hidden in those eyes that could not be expressed in words: grievances, incomprehension, betrayal, etc.The owner of these emotions is now unable to present them in any way, because all that remains is emptiness.Before Merlin could take a closer look, Arthur closed the lid of the red wood box again, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Hull used his sword to assassinate me while I was defenseless.I believe that it is his family's order that he has been lurking by my side all the time.After convincing me to trust him, he wiped me out in an attempt to seize the throne of my country.In addition, he also used my name to murder Shifusila and Colombia.As a result, Shiphsila has disappeared from the campus, so please ask the principal to take a look. ”His remarks pushed the boat down the river and blamed everything Arthur himself had planned on the dead Hull.This basin of dirty water, Hull can't hide, and he doesn't even have the ability to dodge.And what Arthur needs to sacrifice is only Hull, a follower who is a little clever but does not have much effect, and his family.By stigmatizing them, Arthur would naturally gain a clean slate.As an old fritter who has lived for thousands of years, how could Merlin not understand the threat and deep-seated intention hidden in Arthur's words?
Arthur's simple few words beautifully threw all the problems on Hull, and the follow-up that appeared in the future can be twisted into the revenge of the Hull family for their revenge.If we think about Arthur's words from another angle, we will come to a different conclusion."
I killed people, and I did things, but I need a substitute for the dead.Hull is my substitute for the dead, will you accept it?
If he doesn't, I'll kill everyone in his family. ”It was a knife that Arthur had hidden in his words.Arthur, who was thoughtful, had already thought of all the reactions that Merlin might have before he set off.It is naturally not enough to sell miserably alone, and this soft knife hidden in the front of the conversation is on Merlin's neck at this time, forcing Merlin to accept what Arthur said."
Even if you don't believe me, you have to pretend that you believe me.Even if you know the truth, you have to pretend that you don't know. ”This was the real purpose of Arthur's trip.In the eyes of others, they will see Arthur making a high-profile trip to Merlin's residence as a victim to confess.If Merlin refuses, others will subconsciously think that Merlin is a narrow-minded person.If Merlin accepts, Merlin will also gain a reputation that has been praised by many for his forgiveness.All kinds of stakes surfaced under Arthur's calculations, and Merlin's every move was like a fly falling in a spider's web, being played with by Arthur.Merlin may not care about being stigmatized, after all, he has been famous for many years, and although he rarely makes a move in front of everyone, his prestige is still there.But Arthur was sure that Merlin would compromise, because Merlin could not abandon the lives of more than 500 people in the Hull family.With Hull's death alone, Merlin must have spent a lot of effort to give Hull's family an explanation, and he can't let Hull, a top man with excellent grades, live and die unclear.Merlin understands these twists and turns.Merlin didn't say anything, but took a step back, stared at Arthur's face with a cold expression and said, "I see." ”Then he slammed the door shut.Seeing the door in front of him slam shut, Arthur smiled.He won the psychological battle, won the result he envisioned, and at the same time completed a part of his plan.His ambition is not just to conquer.Arthur knew he wanted to be king, and today he was going to conquer the world's highest university.Conquest is a symbol of total control.Arthur won today's battle, which also means that he is about to use various methods to slowly encroach on Merlin's position, and finally hold this university where talents gather in his own hands, and continuously send talents and the latest scientific and technological support for his country.When the power of the Great Ying Empire becomes a top country, he will surpass the legendary King Arthur!
Conquer everything by force, with all the resources at your disposal.And Jobron was just the first step in his plan to play and have fun.Thinking of the impermeable plan in his mind, he roared a few times in a frenzy.Unbeknownst to him, Merlin behind the door had clenched his fists tightly, revealing an expression that violated his usual grinning and indifferent Buddhist image - gritting his teeth."
I can't let him do that anymore."
Merlin thought to himself.Arthur thinks he can use his power to bring Merlin to his knees, but he forgets that his ancestor, King Arthur, must be guided by Merlin in order to become a true legend.This time Arthur made the wrong move, and this time Arthur offended people who should not have offended.Merlin, moved to kill.Will Merlin commit to getting her hands dirty?
He won't, but he has the perfect person to do it for him.And this one doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and staining Arthur's blood with his own hands.That man was Jobron Rosart.Arthur, the black sheep, had already shown his ugly fangs, and now Merlin needed a justifiable occasion and reason to kill him in public.Merlin's mind turned, and the next second, he appeared in the same room where the school board was meeting, and prompted the signal of the emergency meeting to be sent to all parts of the world.Figures appeared in the conference hall one after another, all with a hint of confusion and surprise on their faces.In the past, they had initiated meetings, but this was the first time that Merlin had initiated an invitation to a meeting, even an urgent one.They all temporarily put down what they were doing and immediately came to participate, and none of them dared to slack off."
Old man, what's the matter?
Your invitation scrapped my 2,000 gold potion materials. ”"I'm still researching the extraterrestrial meteorite material that I just bought yesterday, so if there's nothing urgent, I'll go back first."
The higher-ups at Miskatonik University were talking to themselves, but they slowly quieted down.For the first time, they saw Merlin with such a serious expression on his face; It was as cold as a glacier, it was as hot as purgatory.The expressionless Merlin, which no one had ever seen; They all knew that even in battle, Merlin usually grinned and talked trash words.They slowly quieted down, naturally noticing Merlin's strangeness at this time, and already had some vague guesses in their hearts."
The old man is angry, and angry."
The directors whispered in their hearts, and at the same time silently lit a candle of mourning in their hearts for the unlucky fellow.provoked the anger of Merlin, who was famously good-tempered, obviously not an ordinary thing, but something that violated the moral bottom line in Merlin's heart.The directors looked at each other a few times, exchanged glances, and came to a consensus, "Whatever Merlin says, agree!"
”If you don't agree, you will definitely hit Merlin's muzzle and be scolded, I believe that the old foxes present will not do such an eyeless thing.Merlin drooped his face, lowered his head slightly, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's eye, he glanced at everyone else, and then said slowly, "I will compensate for the loss caused by the temporary summoning of you, which can be deducted from my offering, and I am even willing to give you double the resources to apologize." ”As soon as Merlin's words came out, sensible directors waved their hands one after another, saying that such a measure was not appropriate, but Merlin insisted on doing so, obviously putting on a tough attitude and not giving the directors any way out.Merlin's words made many directors stunned, "This time, I want to change the rules." ”The rules of the ranking tournament have been set for many years, and the temporary restructuring is also a precedent that has never been heard of.Then two words, the audience was in an uproar, "Death match." ”
