To Bain's surprise, just when he called his father, his father had already opened the door and walked in.
It was as if he had expected it and had been waiting outside for a long time.
When Merlin met Duke Dufresne, his anger found a way to vent his anger, and his divine power hit him like a mighty wave, "Look at the good son you have found."
The Duke of Dufresne was so blown away that his clothes were so beautiful, but his body remained as still as a stone. He turned around and said with a smile: "You guys go out and wait."
Although Andy was angry, he was not completely insane. "Father, I will take responsibility for what I do..."
The Duke waved his hand and said with a smile: "You didn't do anything wrong, go out first."
As the three of them walked out, they heard Merlin's angry roar, "He didn't do anything wrong. Do you mean that I was wrong? He roared in class and openly insulted the teacher. Am I right?"
The room is shielded by the realm.
"I told you that new things are full of energy and will bump into old things like us." The Duke sat down with a smile, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl, and threw it to Merlin.
Merlin didn't accept it and allowed the apple to spin around in circles between the two of them.
"You already knew?"
"But no, there is no demon hunter who can control his anger and have a good temper. If I hadn't had a good temper, I would have scolded you like this. I said ten sentences that were all nonsense and gave you a headache."
Merlin's momentum faltered.
"You invited me to the North just to humiliate me?"
"What do you think, old friend," Duke Dufresne leaned back on his seat, "I just want to see how your puppet king, who has been here for thousands of years, is doing."
"You really want to humiliate me!"
"The fire was almost invisible, only the embers remained."
Merlin was completely silent. He sat down with the apple in hand and took a bite, "I haven't failed yet. Peter is a good boy..."
"Do you believe it yourself? When I look at that kid, I want to slap him to death. I guess he will do less harm to the Lang family in the future."
Merlin chewed and spat out the peel, "Don't you even have a peeling maid in the Wolf family..."
After cursing and cursing for a long time, he said, "Just beat him to death."
"You gave it up?"
"When I first met Pete, he was only five years old. He was carrying his seriously ill mother on his back and begging from passers-by through gritted teeth. Every time he received money, he would say thank you dozens of times. When I went to treat his mother, I discovered that
He is smart and clever, so I kept him by my side. How did such a child become what he is now? Is it because of my problem? "
"It's not your fault. A world that only breeds lunatics, bad guys, psychopaths, and paranoiacs cannot be saved by heroes. Pete is not the perfect student in your mind, but he might be the final firebrand."
, let him live."
Merlin asked: "Even if he will be harmful to the Lang family?"
"It's their junior's business, I don't have to worry about it that far."
Merlin never spit out the skin again, and even chewed the core and ate it. "Books in the future will write: Merlin, the immortal who tried to train the true king's disciples and change the world, only taught eight bastards who caused harm to the whole party."
"I will also write: The Lang family, which has a ten thousand-year heritage, was destroyed by the foolish and rash advances of the last family head."
The two smiled at each other.
Merlin muttered: "What on earth do you want to do with this? You don't just want to remind me that I am a complete loser."
"I want your King's Seal Ring."
Merlin was stunned. Thinking back on everything that had happened recently, he realized that he seemed to be led by the Duke. He said angrily: "Is this the purpose of your entire plan?"
"How can the Lang family come up with any plans? It's just based on intuition. When I invited you to the north, I actually didn't know why I was looking for a teacher for such a trivial matter. I would think of you first. It wasn't until the past two days that I had an idea.
Thoughts, just outside, I finally understood what I wanted."
Merlin touched the seal ring on his hand and said puzzledly: "The Lang family is going to have a king? You know the price of wearing it."
"Maybe, maybe not, but as a father, all I can do is prepare things for my child that he may want."
"Okay, anyway, I can't burn my ass now, so I'll give you Bain's kid..."
Merlin pulled back his hand suddenly, "No, it's not Bane. If it were Bane, you wouldn't want it now. What happened recently? Andy?"
His face changed, "No, I won't give it to you. He scolded me like that, and I gave him ancient equipment. Am I a bitch? I should at least kick him three times."
Duke Dufresne smiled and said: "The ancient prophecy of the Wolf family mentioned: 'The King of Shadows will return to the dark land and bring fire and light to the people shrouded in black mist.' The adopted son tradition also comes from this prophecy.
Andy should be the last adopted son of the Wolf family."
"You mean," Merlin's face was visibly red with excitement, "Andy is the prophesied king?"
"Maybe, I didn't say that." The Duke smiled.
Merlin had already taken off his seal ring and walked over to deliver it to the Duke in person, "The Wolf family's intuition has always been reliable. Can you tell me whether he is the real king or a false king?"
"what you up to?"
Merlin rubbed his hands, "When I was wandering around the world, I once heard the Holy Spirit in the Lament Mountains say: Nine is the ultimate number of perfection. I may have to recruit nine students to see the true king. Isn't this a coincidence? As soon as I saw Andy
, I feel that he and I are very close to each other, and I just have one less student."
"You are not saying that his strength and character are not that good."
"The king's profound magnanimity, we try our best to look up at him, but how can we get a full picture."
"You also said that he has excessive desires and has difficulty controlling his emotions."
"Greedy, anger, hesitancy and doubt, laughter and anger, all become articles, this is the posture of a king!"
"You just said that he scolded you and wanted to kick him three times."
"Scolding me is a manifestation of the king's true knowledge. I just want Andy to kick me three more times."
Duke Dufresne laughed, and Merlin laughed too.
"Okay, let me tell you and let him recognize you as his teacher."
Merlin finally laughed heartily.
After laughing, he didn't let the Duke of Dufresne keep it, and urged him to go and tell Andy quickly. If it really didn't work, he could just apologize and get kicked.
The Duke walked to the door, but turned around and bowed to the expectant old Merlin.
After taking the King's Seal Ring, the old man's complexion declined visibly to the naked eye. His life and energy were burned into his somewhat absurd ideal of salvation. In the days to come, he would become even more declining.
Until one day, like burned ashes, it disappears in the wind.
But if he is willing to give up everything and survive with the remaining fire in the King's Ring, he can survive for another thousand years.
But he took off the royal ring without hesitation.
Merlin waved his hand outwards, dissatisfied with the Duke's unnecessary actions at this time. He didn't have much life left and didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing. He just wanted to see his True King student.
The prince smiled and walked out of the room.
Andy needs a teacher, Merlin needs a student, and he needs to prepare a gift for his child's future at some point.
Except for Bain, who was worried about Andy, and Peter, who was thinking about how to run away, everyone was in trouble.
