50. The Devil's Contract. The Origin of Fear

In the evening, Merlin drove his cool, black Raptor pickup truck like a small tank, and sent Peter and Mei home.

At the door of the apartment, Merlin lowered the car window and waved goodbye to Peter Little, saying to his nephew:

"You have to be obedient and go to school well, do you know? I'll see you next week."

"Uh-huh."

Peter, holding a big robot toy bought by his uncle, waved to Merlin obediently, and shouted:

"Goodbye my uncle! Goodbye Sister Ruiwen, goodbye Sister Lorna! Goodbye my daisy and Matt!"

Watching Mei take Peter back to the apartment, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. Under the light of the street lights, the cool car started with the low engine roar, carrying the family to their homes.

"Matt, has Ava been looking for you recently?"

Merlin asked while pretending to pull the steering wheel himself.

Matt, who was wearing sunglasses and was silent in the back seat, shook his head and said to Merlin:

"No, but Ava called me last week and said that she was treating her illness and might recover in a while. Then she would come to school to find me directly."

"Well, that's good."

Merlin nodded and said:

"Don't forget to bring her home for a meal. The last time I went to the parent-teacher meeting, the fat guy in the same dormitory as you, your only friend since childhood, can also invite him together."

"Forget it, Merlin."

Matt held his blind guide stick and he whispered:

"I'm afraid that Fuji will be frightened. Gugu and Frank at home are almost like monsters for ordinary people."

"Okay, whatever you want."

Merlin looked at Matt in the reversing mirror and said:

"I also heard from Lorna that you are going to apply for Columbia University's law school? Do you need my help to clear the relationship?"

"No, no use."

Matt is a good kid. Because he has experienced many reasons since childhood, he is very independent and more mature than his average peers. He said to Merlin:

“My grades are enough.”

"Well, call me if you need it."

Merlin pushed his glasses and looked at Lorna, who was drowsy in the passenger seat, and he said:

"Lona, I heard from Lan that you have made new friends?"

"Um?"

Lorna was awakened, she looked up at Merlin, and then curled her lips:

"Lan really hates it. She tells you everything. Well, I made a new friend, the big red-haired sister Wanda. She left me a phone number and we will chat these days."

"What did you talk about?"

Merlin asked like a competent brother:

"Have Wanda invited you to play in the UK?"

"Yes, Wanda said she has a house in Glasgow and invited me to stay for a few days."

Lorna played with her fingers and replied in an unhappy tone:

"But I refused because neither Riven nor Lan let me go."

"They care about you too, silly girl."

Merlin patted Lorna's hair and said:

"After a while, when I'm free, I'll take you to the UK. Maybe our family can take time to travel. I have a few children in the UK. They are all starting families and starting businesses now. Maybe they should also find time to see them. They haven't contacted each other for many years."

Merlin didn't say anything anymore. In the reversing mirror, he saw Daisy in the back seat was already asleep leaning against Riven. He wanted to send Daisy back to the Johnsons first.

Daisy's father, Dr. Johnson, has been in a bad state in recent years. The man's first half of his body has been wandering and has experienced the most tragic things in the world. He may be called by his God in a few years.

However, the last period of life can still be spent with the company of my family, and the ending is not bad.

An hour later, Merlin settled the children at home and came to the mysterious house.

Xuanlan was waiting for him as usual.

"The Black Bat King couple left with Miss Crystal."

The butler said to Meilin:

"They seem to have reached an agreement with 'whip', and maybe the crystal will start to heal, just in these few days."

"Well, it seems that the couple convinced Andrew and Melinda, that's pretty good."

Meilin walked to the fireplace, sat on the sofa and said to Xuanlan:

"Open the magic defense of the mysterious house, and I want to talk to the god of fear in Scarty's warhammer."

"Um."

Xuan Lan took a step back and quickly walked into the magic control center of the mysterious house. After a moment, several special defensive magic arrays were activated, and the house located in the chaotic dimension dived deeper into the deeper part of the mysterious latitude.

After all preparations were ready, Merlin took out the Scarty Warhammer from his pocket.

He placed the golden warhammer carved with Asgard runes on the table, probably because of the activation, and the surface of the warhammer was constantly beating with purple arcs, making it look full of an extraordinary temperament.

Merlin looked at the warhammer in front of him, and he stretched out his finger and touched the surface of the warhammer.

"Don't you plan to say something? Mr. Cool."

Merlin said on the spiritual level that wisp of will hidden deep in Scarty's warhammer:

"A search officer is about to be sent to the Asgard God Realm. I think she is here for you. Although we have had a happy cooperation several times before, look, I am just an ordinary earthling. I can't fight against the power from the Asgard God Realm. So if they locked me, maybe I would hand over this warhammer outright."

"Then you will die!"

The gloomy, weak voice as old as an old man rose in Merlin's mind.

With the sound, there were countless illusions of fear, and a strange force echoed in Merlin's body, constantly stimulating the things that were most afraid of in his heart.

Three Houses

When the figure of the Three Palaces of Demon echoed in Meilin's mind, the magic power of the Three Palaces of Demon in his body also began to surge, and he arrogantly drove this weak divine power of fear out of Meilin's body.

But Merlin wasn't angry.

He showed quite calmly, and he said to the god of fear Cour:

"I may not die, Lord Cour."

"Before I came into contact with you, I had some friendships with some important people from Asgard, and the last time I used you was to expel the evil gods of aliens who invaded the earth. This is a righteous act. I mean, if I use my relationship, maybe I can escape?"

"But you, haha, after this warhammer was taken back into the Asgard divine realm, I think you may not have a day to turn over."

Cour's will has no answer.

Merlin also showed great patience. He leaned on the sofa and took out the magic book of Death Finger and flipped through it. Although he had mastered this magic, the deeper he understood the knowledge, the more skilled he became in using Death Finger.

This is just like playing games. The higher the proficiency, the less magic and energy you consume when releasing magic. Of course, this consumption will not be reduced without limit.

After several minutes, the purple arc on the surface of Scarty's warhammer was pounding more violently, and Cool's voice rang again. This time it was very gentle, at least much gentler than before.

"You didn't have to tell me about this. You could have handed over the original sin warhammer to the Asgard search officer, but you didn't do that, so, can you talk about this?"

"Of course, you can talk about it."

Merlin said while flipping through the magic book:

"I am a wizard. I know that there is no distinction between good and evil in power itself, so I pursue all the powers that can be used. But I am bluntly speaking, Lord Kull, with the powers you lent me to me before, it is really hard for me to do your business."

"You are too greedy!"

Kuhl said:

"You have placed three evil divine powers in your body at once, and tried to control them for your use. You are probably the craziest mortal I have ever seen."

"crazy?"

Merlin sneered:

"It seems that you have never met another friend of mine, but he has been wiped out, so it's actually boring to talk about it. Let's be more honest, Mr. Cool."

“The power of the tripartite system is very useful.”

Merlin's fingers were leaping on the warhammer, letting the purple arc of light wrap around his fingers, he said:

"I hope to retain this power, and if I can, I hope to get a little more. Say, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Open my seal, and be guarded by a group of wild beasts in the deepest trench in this world."

Kur's tone was filled with a hint of urgency:

"Open it before the Asgard search officer arrives!"

"No, I refuse."

Merlin put together the magic book in his hand and said to Coul:

"First of all, I don't know who you are, secondly, I don't know what you want to do. Finally, if even the Asgardians treat you so carefully, then I think I have a reason to be more cautious."

"So, change your requirements."

"You have no sincerity!"

Kur roared to:

"You're just threatening me with the Scarty Warhammer"

"Haunt? Don't say so badly, Mr. Cour."

Merlin said seriously:

"I am the one who holds the original sin warhammer. I have some special powers to fight against your manipulation and interference of my will. If an ordinary person who is ignorant of this warhammer, he may have become your slave. I mean, you are trying to "brainwash" me first, you are showing malicious intentions first. I am just lucky to have grasped your weakness."

"So don't act like I'm bullying an old widowed man. We are just willing to accept the loss. Mr. Cool, you made a regrettable decision when we first met, and you put yourself in this embarrassing situation before us."

Merlin said:

"You should clearly understand your current situation. I don't plan to say more threatening words, which will make us look very indecent, so let's change the request. We can completely exchange it in equivalent."

"Okay! Then hide this warhammer."

Cool hesitated for a few minutes, and it looked a little calmer, and it said to Merlin:

"You are not really given the Divine Divine Character, so as long as you don't take out the Skati Warhammer in front of the Asgardians, they will not find you. At most they will strengthen my seal again, but it doesn't matter. Only when the Skati Warhammer is still there, my consciousness can be conveyed through this warhammer."

"Then, you bastard, for 10 years, I allow you to hold this warhammer for 10 years. After 10 years, I want you to find a new master for this warhammer."

Kuhl said:

"You coward don't want to help me take revenge on Odin, the king of Asgard. It doesn't matter, I can wait, there will always be someone who is willing to help me."

"I know, you are the defender of this world, and I have no intention of getting involved in your world. Look, I have always had only one object of revenge, that is Odin! That is my brother who kills his parents and beasts."

“Sounds great.”

Merlin rubbed her chin and said to Coul:

"But these are two requirements"

"So when you need it, I will give you two strengths!"

The fearful snake seemed to be disgusted with the insatiable Merlin, he said:

"Of course, if you want more"

"Why do you all like to play this tune?"

Merlin snorted:

"If you want more, do you have to pay more? I am very familiar with this drama, but I don't think I will need more. Your divine power is only one-third of the power of the three phases. Too much will make it very troublesome."

"Haha, Merlin, you know, it's completely different from what you can do."

Orochi Kur said in a weird tone:

"The temptation of power is endless. When you chase it, you will eventually drown in it. I have seen too many such people."

"Well, you old man, sounds very story-like."

Merlin's fingers touched the handle of Scarty's warhammer, and between his fingers, a purple lightning bolt was also pounding, he said:

"Since we have signed the contract now, Mr. Cool, look, it's still a long time tonight, so why not share your story with me."

"You said Odin is your younger brother. You should have told me that you were originally the king of the divine realm of Asgard. So, it proves that Odin is an usurper? Why did he do this? Why did you fail?"

Merlin said:

"Tell me, I know that being trapped in a place where light is gone for thousands of years will definitely be lonely, so I think you will definitely want to share this story with others, and it must be a legendary story."

After a few minutes of dead silence, just when Merlin thought Coul had rejected his request, the voice of the terrified snake suddenly rang:

"Okay, if you want to hear it."

"Of course, I'll listen."

Merlin waved his hand, and soon a ghost servant delivered a snack and drink. He leaned against the sofa and waved at Scarty's warhammer, and he said:

"Then tell me, I'm listening to your story."
