A part of the mysterious power entrenched in the mysterious house was eliminated.
Although it has not been completely cleaned up, at least in the hall of the mysterious house, there is no longer any interference from mysterious power. It is quiet enough to allow Merlin to sit by the warm fireplace and listen to a spirit from the 16th century telling an ancient story.
"Do you have a name? What the hell are you?"
Merlin threw a cleaning spell on the sofa by the fireplace. After the sofa stained with blood and strange substances became clean again, he sat on it, raised 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, you can understand that my existence represents the consciousness of this house. I am created to serve the owner of the Mysterious House."
"Um."
Merlin nodded. He could understand Xuanlan's meaning. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard similar examples in some magic books.
Some wizards will use special methods to make some lifeless things give birth to thinking, so as to serve them better.
"What is that thing?"
Merlin pointed to the decomposing flesh and blood on the floor, which was the corpse of the cut-out alchemy creature before.
It is not a life produced by nature. Its existence violates the laws of nature. It should not appear or exist. Therefore, after the integrity of the body is destroyed, it begins to decompose quickly.
There are some silver, strange and strange-shaped fragments of mechanical objects scattered in the flesh and blood, representing its strange vitality, not simply from magic.
“It’s the gatekeeper.”
Xuan Lan calmly explained:
"It was the alchemy work produced by the master of Da Vinci according to ancient classics when he was free. It was created to serve as the experimental assistant of the master of Da Vinci and to maintain the normal operation of the mysterious house. It was not violent, nor was it distorted by flesh and blood, but when spiritual infection occurred, it was also infected by mysterious power, becoming unreasonable and gradually becoming crazy."
"In hundreds of years of killing, it has become the node of the filthy spiritual power in the House of Mystery. It has its own thinking. It still faithfully fulfills its mission. However, it no longer expels the intruders, but kills them cruelly, and traps the ghosts that have nowhere to go, transforming them into the vengeful spirits guarding the House of Mystery."
Merlin nodded, and he asked again: Computer::/
"What are you talking about spiritual infection?"
"It's a secret study."
Xuan Lan is like a real conscientious housekeeper, she said:
"It was the study that attracted the unknown spirit, which came at midnight and occupied the mysterious house. Master Da Vinci left, and the spirit followed closely behind. But just the breath it remained here completely infected the mysterious house."
""
Meilin did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Xuanlan in front of him, the spirit body that claimed to be the spirit of consciousness in the mysterious house. There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, but Xuanlan did not have any more expressions because of this gaze.
Until dozens of seconds later, Merlin spoke:
"You are also infected by the breath left by the spirit?"
Xuanlan did not answer.
"You obviously have your own emotions."
Merlin bounced his finger and said:
"Although you have tried your best to restrain yourself, when I appeared, there was still unconcealed joy and expectation in your voice, just like an item that has been abandoned for a long time, and finally found the user again."
"Are you always looking forward to a new owner? Xuanlan, tell me, don't hide it."
Faced with Merlin's questioning, the spirit of the mysterious house finally nodded.
The purple spirit raised his head and looked at Merlin, she said:
"That powerful spirit occupied the mysterious house, and it gave me wisdom. I don't know whether it is good or bad, but I feel that a house, without its master, will lose its meaning of existence."
There is an emotional light in this purple spirit's eyes, but she has been trapped in the mysterious house, which has grown up with wisdom. She is very smart, but she does not have much experience in communicating with others, so she is still very simple and she has not learned to lie.
After Merlin noticed it, she frankly admitted her abnormality.
"I just knew."
Merlin rubbed her forehead and said:
"The gatekeeper is also under your control? The cold, the three-level test of the vengeful spirit and the gatekeeper is set by you? Why?"
"This mysterious house was built by the owner of Da Vinci, who used the mysterious house to store knowledge."
Xuanlan said:
"Although Master Da Vinci finally left, this does not mean that any person who breaks into the mysterious house can become my master. Although I am not strong, I also have my own dignity."
"Then why don't you choose Constantine?"
Merlin asked curiously:
"If I read it right just now, he also passed the cold."
"He's an indescribable person."
There was finally a hint of humanized expression on Xuanlan's anthropomorphic face. She said to Meilin with some confusion:
"He used deception to trick the key to the mysterious house from the descendants of the master Leonardo da Vinci. But the first time he entered here, he did not want to explore the secrets and knowledge of the house. On the contrary, he only found a place of plight with his vampire companion who would not be disturbed."
The purple spirit body said with dissatisfaction:
"He doesn't respect knowledge, he is not qualified to be my master, so I let the gatekeepers drive him away."
"All right."
Merlin said helplessly:
"This is indeed Constantine's style of conduct. But Xuanlan, you said I am your new master, but you obviously concealed a lot of things from me and said frankly that I don't trust you."
“My existence is to serve the master.”
Xuanlan said expressionlessly:
"Time will tell."
"All right."
Meilin shrugged, he stood up from the sofa, and said to Xuanlan:
"Tell me about the mysterious house, what's the use of this house? You just said that Mr. Leonardo has stored a lot of knowledge in this type of person? Are they still there?"
"The House of Mystery was severely damaged when the spirit infection broke out."
Xuanlan pointed to the messy ground around her and replied to Meilin:
"I can try to repair the mysterious house, but it requires magical replenishment and some time. In addition, when Master Leonardo da Vinci left, he took away most of the books, and the rest were placed in the basement, which was where the spiritual infection first broke out, and there was still a very dangerous force. I don't recommend that Master clean it up now."
"In the current state of the Mysterious House, what I can provide to the master is an alchemy laboratory left by the master Leonardo da Vinci, and the most basic arbitrary door."
Xuanlan pointed to the closed door and said to Meilin:
"Just hold the key and open the door, the owner can reach this dimension. Wherever you want to go, of course, before the mysterious house is completely repaired, there may be deviations in opening any door, so I do not recommend that the owner rashly try to open the door to the dangerous place."
"Oh, is that amazing?"
Meilin walked to the door with interest. He looked back at Xuanlan and said:
"I just think about where I want to go and open the door?"
“Yes, Master.”
Xuanlan closed her hands together and placed them on her abdomen. She said to Meilin in a very professional butler posture:
"The more you know about the destination in your mind, the more accurate the opening of any door will be. In addition, during the period when you are away, I will clean up the mysterious house and help you prepare various equipment for the alchemy laboratory. Do you have any instructions? Master."
"Change the appearance, Lan."
While turning open the door, Meilin said to the spirit butler:
"Maybe you can change it to a look that makes me feel more comfortable, see you next time."
"Click"
Merlin turned open the door and walked out.
In the hall behind him, Xuan Lan savored the words left by Merlin. The spirit butler opened his hands and her appearance changed rapidly. Soon, her face turned into a look that looked like a mixture of Carol and a spirit butterfly. Her hair looked like Hill, and her figure was extremely similar to Elsa. The body of that kind of person was also worn by the black and white tuxedo of the 16th century butlers.
Xuan Lan, the strange and mysterious spirit, snapped her fingers, and a mirror appeared in front of her. She looked at herself in the mirror, then stretched out her hand with white gloves and clamped a single-piece glasses with golden wire edges on 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 shaking it while saying to the empty hall:
"Everything comes out! Working!"
"Be sure to complete the grand cleaning of the mysterious house before Master Meilin comes back! Master Meilin doesn't like the appearance of the spirit body, so change your appearance."
Under the order of the butler Xuan Lan, one after another of the resentful spirits floated out of the walls, floors and oil paintings of the house. Under her command, these resentful spirits changed their bodies very well. After a few minutes, the servants of men and women, wearing suits and maids, became busy under the command of the butler. : :
The interior of the mysterious house was imposed with space magic. It was much larger than it looked and had not been cleaned up for more than 300 years.
In short, this big cleaning will probably last a long time.
Merlin stepped out of the mysterious house, and the destination he chose was his own home.
Any door attached to the Mysterious House was very effective. Merlin didn't feel the bumps that teleportation should have, and stepped on the wet ground in one step.
Wait, wet?
Merlin looked at the water flowing under his feet. He raised his head and saw Elsa, who had her eyes closed, standing under the warm water flowing, enjoying her bathing time.
“???”
Looking at the white scenery in front of him, Merlin almost immediately activated the shapeshift spell, and before Elsa opened her eyes, he disappeared into the bathroom.
“Huh?”
Elsa in the bathroom wiped the water from her face. She turned around and looked at the empty person in confusion. She said:
"Just just now I clearly felt 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 so lingering, I almost found it.
Although it doesn't matter even if it is discovered, Elsa can't beat him, the problem is that this behavior of peeping at subordinates is really too unreasonable.
"Damn it, any door that looks fashionable is not easy to use at all!"
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the ancient key in his hand. For a moment, he even wanted to throw the key into the trash can at hand, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Speaking of which, Elsa's figure is unexpectedly good
Stop it! Can't think about it anymore! Merlin! When did you become so obscene!
Merlin reached out and thrust on his cheek, trying to make himself forget the scene just now.
He raised his head and looked at the street in front of him, and found that the landing place he chose in desperation was very close to his cousin's house. So Merlin planned to sit at his cousin's house and have fun with little Peter.
But just as he took the lead, he suddenly remembered another thing.
If he remembers correctly, Professor Charles' Mutants Academy should be in Queens and is not very far from here.
"Professor Charles helped me last night. Without his help, I'm afraid I've become a toy in Riven's hands now."
Merlin thought:
"Maybe I should visit him. Including the last time he woke me up from a coma, this is the second time he has saved me."
Thinking of this, Merlin stopped hesitating. He reached out to stop a taxi, opened the door, and took a seat in.
"Go to Xavier Talented Youth Academy."
"Hey, Mr. Merlin! What a coincidence."
A familiar voice came from the front seat, and Merlin looked up and saw Chass' fat face.
Fortunately, it's not Du Pengde.
"Okay, Chas."
Merlin greeted the fat driver and said:
"It seems we are really destined to be, but I remember you said that you need to take a few days off? Why did you come out to work in the afternoon?"
"Oh, that's it."
Chas said to Merlin while pulling the steering wheel:
"This car was newly replaced by Du Pengde. He went to watch a movie with his cousin today, so he asked me to help him lead the shift."
"Dupengde's new car?"
Merlin looked around and found that the interior of the taxi was very new. He thought about it, reached out his hand, and pulled off the music player on the bridge without hesitation.
Then he said in an exaggerated tone:
"Oh my God! Look at me, I'm clumsy, and accidentally broke this beautiful music player, but it's okay, I'll pay it."
After saying that, Merlin was stunned by Chas's gaze, Shiran handed several bills to Chas, and he said:
"Chas, we are friends, right? So you just pretend you didn't see anything, okay?"
