The mysterious power entrenched in the mystery house has been partially eliminated.It hadn't been completely cleaned, but at least in the halls of the Mystic House, there were no more mystical distractions, and it was quiet enough for Merlin to sit by the warm fireplace and listen to an ancient tale from a 16th-century spirit."
You, do you have a name?
What the hell are you?
”Merlin threw a cleansing charm on the couch by the fireplace, and after the couch stained with blood and strange substances was clean again, he sat on it, crossed his legs, and looked at the purple female spirit standing in front of him."
My name is Xuanlan."
The purple spirit replied in a gentle voice, "I am the center of the mysterious house, and its spirit, as you can understand, my existence, represents the consciousness of this house.I was created to serve the owners of the House of Mysteries. ”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, he could understand what Xuanlan meant, although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had heard similar examples in some magic books.Some wizards will use special methods to give birth to thoughts from inanimate things in order to serve them better."
What's that?"
Merlin pointed to the decomposing mass of flesh on the floor, the corpse of the alchemist that had been hacked to death earlier.It is not a naturally occurring life, its existence violates the laws of nature, it should not have appeared, and it should not exist, so after the integrity of the body is destroyed, it begins to decompose rapidly.Fragments of silver, oddly shaped and bizarre mechanical objects were scattered among the flesh and blood, representing its strange vitality and not simply magic."
It's the gatekeeper."
Xuanlan calmly explained: "It's Da.
The alchemical work made by the owner of Finch in his spare time according to the ancient texts, it was created, and served as the alchemical work of the Dharma.
Finch's master's experimental assistant and keeps the mystery house functioning.It used to be not berserk, and its appearance was not distorted by flesh and blood, but when the spirit infection occurred, it was also infected by mysterious powers, and became irrational and insane. ”"In hundreds of years of killing, it has become a node of filthy spiritual power in the mysterious house, it has a mind of its own, it still faithfully fulfills its former mission, but it no longer banishes the intruders, but brutally kills them, and traps the ghosts who have nowhere to go, transforming them into the ghosts guarding the mysterious house."
Merlin nodded, and he asked again, "What do you mean by spirit infection?"
”"It's a secret study."
Like a true and dutiful housekeeper, Xuanlan said, "It was the study that attracted the unknown spirit, which came down at midnight and took possession of the Mystery House.Reach.
The Finch master left, and the spirit followed.But just the smell of it left here completely infected the mysterious house. ”Merlin didn't continue to ask questions, instead, he raised his head and looked at Xuanlan in front of him, the spirit who claimed to be the Consciousness Spirit of the Mystic House.There was a hint of scrutiny in his gaze, but Xuanlan didn't have any more expression because of this gaze.It wasn't until dozens of seconds later that Merlin spoke, "You were also infected by the residual breath of that 'spirit'?
”Xuanlan didn't answer."
You obviously have emotions of your own."
Merlin flicked his fingers, and he said, "Despite your best efforts, there was still joy and anticipation in your voice when I appeared...
It's like an item that has been abandoned for a long time and finally finds its user again. ”"Have you been looking forward to a new owner?
Xuanlan, tell me, don't hide it. ”In the face of Merlin's questioning, the spirit of the mystery house finally nodded.The purple spirit looked up at Merlin, and she said, "That powerful spirit occupies the mysterious house, and it gives birth to wisdom, I don't know if it's good or bad, but I feel that a room, if it doesn't have an owner, then it loses its meaning of existence." ”There was an emotional glow in the eyes of this purple spirit, but she had been trapped in the mysterious house with the wisdom she had cultivated, she was very smart, but she didn't have much experience communicating with other people, so she was still very simple, she hadn't learned to lie yet.After Merlin noticed it, she frankly admitted her anomaly."
I knew it."
Merlin rubbed his forehead, and he said, "The gatekeepers are also under your control?"
The triple test of cold, wraith, and gatekeeper was set by you?
Why?
”"This house of mysteries is a great thing.
Built by Finch's master, he used the Mystery House to store knowledge. ”Xuanlan said: "Although Da.
Finch's master eventually left, but that doesn't mean that anyone who breaks into the mystery house can be my master.I'm not strong, but I have my dignity. ”"Then why didn't you choose Konstantin?"
Merlin asked curiously, "If I'm not mistaken, he also made it through the cold." ”"He's a very...
Indescribable people. ”Xuanlan's anthropomorphic face finally had a hint of humanized expression, and she said to Merlin a little tangled: "He used deceptive methods to learn from Da.
The descendants of Finch's master tricked him into the key to the Mystery House.But the first time he entered the house, he didn't want to explore the secrets and knowledge of the house, but instead he was just looking for a tryst with his vampire girlfriend to not be disturbed. ”The purple spirit said dissatisfied, "He has no respect for knowledge, and he is not qualified to be my master, so I let the gatekeepers drive him away." ”"Okay."
Merlin said helplessly: "This is really Konstantin's style of acting.But Xuanlan, you said I was your new master, but you obviously hid a lot of things from me...
Frankly, I don't trust you. ”"My existence is to serve the Master."
Xuanlan said expressionlessly: "Time will tell." ”"Okay."
Merlin shrugged, he got up from the couch, and said to Xuanlan, "Tell me about the mystery house, what's the use of this house?"
You just said that Da.
Mr.
Finch has a lot of knowledge stored in this category?
Are they still there?
”"The House of Mystery was badly damaged when the spirit infection broke out."
Xuanlan pointed to the messy ground around her and replied to Merlin, "I can try to fix the mystery house, but it will take more mana and some time.
When the Finch master left, he took most of the books with him, and the rest were put in the basement, and the basement, where the spirit infection first broke out, was still entrenched in a very dangerous force, and I did not recommend that the master clean it up now. ”"In the current state of the Mystery House, what I can offer to the owner is a piece of the Mystery House.
The alchemy laboratory left behind by Finch's master, and the most basic 'arbitrary door'. ”Xuanlan pointed to the closed door, and she said to Merlin, "Just hold the key, open the door, and the master can go anywhere you want in this dimension...
Of course, any door opening may be skewed until the mystery house is fully restored, so I don't recommend that the owner rashly try to open the door to the dangerous place. ”"Oh, is it so amazing?"

Merlin walked to the door with great interest, he looked back at Xuanlan, and said, "I just have to think about where I want to go and open the door, okay?"
”"Yes, master."
Xuanlan put her hands together, placed them on her abdomen, and said to Merlin in a very professional housekeeping posture: "The more you know about the destination in your mind, the more accurate the opening of any door will be.Also, during the time you are away, I will clean up the mystery house and help you prepare the equipment for the alchemy laboratory...
Is there anything else you would like to command?
Master. ”"Change your appearance, Ran."
Merlin twisted the door open and said to the spirit butler, "Maybe you can change it to make me feel more comfortable...
Okay, we'll see you next time. ”"Click" Merlin twisted open the door and walked out.In the hall behind him, Xuanlan savored the words left by Merlin, the spirit butler opened her hands, her appearance changed rapidly, and soon, her face changed into a mixture of Carol and Spirit Butterfly, her hair was very similar to Hill, and her body was extremely similar to Elsa, and the body of that kind of person was also dressed in the black and white tuxedo of the 16th century butlers.Xuanlan, a strange and mysterious spirit, snapped her fingers, and a mirror appeared in front of her, she looked at herself in the mirror, and then stretched out her white-gloved hand and clipped a gold-rimmed monocle to her left eye.Looking at the image in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction, then turned around, picked up the bell at her waist, and shook it as she said to the empty hall, "Come out!"
It's work!
”"Be sure to complete the cleaning of the mystery house before Master Merlin returns!
And...
Master Merlin doesn't like the appearance of spirits, so change your appearance. ”Under the order of the housekeeper Xuanlan, one after another ghosts floated out of the walls, floors and oil paintings of the house, and under her orders, these spirits changed their shapes very well-behaved, and after a few minutes, the servants of men and women, dressed in suits and maid clothes, were busy under the command of the housekeeper.The interior of the Mystic House has been swayed with spatial magic, it is much larger than it looks, and it hasn't been cleaned properly in over 300 years.All in all, this cleaning is estimated to have lasted for a long time.————————————————— Merlin stepped out of the mystery house, and the destination he chose was his own home.The 'Arbitrary Door' attached to the Mystery House worked very well, and Merlin didn't feel the bump that teleportation should have, and stepped on the wet ground.Wait, soggy?
Merlin looked at the water flowing under his feet, and when he looked up, he saw that in the mist rising in front of him, Elsa with her eyes closed was standing under the warm water, enjoying her bathing time.“？？？”
Looking at the white landscape in front of him, Merlin activated the shapeshifting charm almost immediately, and before Elsa could open her eyes, he disappeared into the bathroom."
Huh?"
Elsa in the bathroom wiped the water from her face, she turned her head and looked behind the empty thing suspiciously, she said, "I just felt it...
It seems like someone was there.Did I feel wrong?
”On the other side, Merlin, who appeared on the streets of Queens, New York, patted his chest with some fear.It's really hanging, I almost found out.Although it doesn't matter if he is discovered, Elsa can't beat him, but the problem is that this kind of peeping at his subordinates is too tasteless."
Hell, the trendy-looking 'Any Door' doesn't work at all!"
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the quaint key in his hand, and for a moment, he even wanted to throw it into the trash can at hand, but after thinking about it, he still gave up the idea.Speaking of which, Elsa's figure...
Surprisingly good...
Stop!
Can't think about it anymore!
Merlin!
When did you become so nasty!
Merlin reached out and twitched at the side of his cheek, trying to make himself forget what had just happened.He looked up at the street in front of him, and found that the place he had chosen in his desperation was very close to his cousin's house, so Merlin planned to go to his cousin's house and sit down and play with little Peter by the way.But just as he was taking a step, he suddenly remembered something else.If he's not mistaken, Professor Charles's mutant academy should also be in Queens...
And it's not very far from here, again."
Professor Charles helped me last night, and without his help, I'm afraid I'd have become a plaything in Raven's hands by now."
Merlin thought, "Maybe I should visit him."
Counting the last time he woke me up from my coma, this was the second time he saved me. ”Thinking of this, Merlin no longer hesitated, he reached out to stop a taxi, opened the door, and sat inside."
Go to Xavier's Talent Academy.""
Ah, Mr.
Merlin!
What a coincidence. ”A familiar voice came from the front seat, and Merlin looked up to see Chas's chubby face.OK...
Not Dupende."
Alright, Chas."
Merlin greeted the fat driver and said, "It seems that we are indeed quite fated, but speaking of which, I remember you didn't say that you should rest for a few days?"
Why do you come out to work in the afternoon?
”"Oh, that's right."
As he turned the steering wheel, Chas said to Merlin, "This car is new to Dupende, and he went to watch a movie with his cousin today, so he asked me to help him lead the class." ”"Dupponde's new car?"
Merlin looked left and right, and sure enough, the interior of the taxi was very new.He thought for a moment, stretched out his hand, and without hesitation, ripped off the music player on the bridge.Then he said in an exaggerated tone, "Oh my God!
Look at me, clumsy me, accidentally broke this beautiful music player...
But it doesn't matter, I'll pay for it. ”After speaking, Merlin was under Chas's stunned gaze, Shi Shiran handed a few banknotes to Chas, and he said, "Chas, we are friends, right?"
So you just don't see anything, okay?
