At Merlin's house, the elder sister Ruiwen was holding the sullen Lona's hand and stood beside Laura.

The wolf girl raised her head indifferently and looked at the two girls in front of her face blankly. She was observing Ruiwen. Unlike Lona, who was outgoing, Ruiwen's breath was more restrained. She wore a black dress and was pretty The supple long hair was scattered on the shoulders, and the temperament as a raven made Ruiwen look intellectual, but it was difficult to be approached.

To be honest, Laura is ready to accept provocation and then fight back.

Previously in the "home", so many children did not always maintain peace. In the environment used as experimental materials, there are always some unreasonable children who will provoke Laura for various reasons.

Laura is used to this targeted situation, just as she is used to beating the provocators.

When necessary, let them bleed a little, the deterrent effect will be better.

She accepted Merlin, which is true, but it does not mean that Laura also wants to accept Merlin’s sister, does not mean that she must be satisfied.

While Laura was observing Ruiwen, Ruiwen was also looking at the little wolf girl in front of her. The kind of indifference on this girl's face really seemed familiar. What Merlin said is true, this child's past is very similar to Ruiwen's past.

This gave Ruiwen a strong sense of both sight, as if he saw another lonely raven.

She reached out and took off her glasses, then brushed her hair, patted Lorna's head, and said to the green-haired, misbehaving sister:

"Lona, apologize to Laura!"

"Do not!"

Lorna pursed the mouth of the oil can, she said:

"You guys are bullying me."

"Apologize! I will say it again! This was originally your fault!"

Ruiwen increased her tone, just like her real elder sister. Under her severe gaze, Lorna quickly succumbed.

Lorna is not a bad guy. She also knows that she is not right to make this out, but the stubbornness of the child makes her do not want to bow her head, but when she is angry, she is very reluctant to look over. In a slightly inaudible voice:

"Sorry."

Well, Lorna is actually afraid of Ruiwen... or the feeling of being both dependent and scared.

She can talk back in front of Merlin. Merlin will not beat her, but she will not provoke Ruiwen. When Ruiwen beats her, she will show no mercy. When Lorna first arrived at home, she slept in a house with Ruiwen, but she was beaten by Ruiwen, who had a strange temper at the time.

Faced with Lorna's apology, the little wolf girl shook her head, indicating that it didn't matter.

She still doesn't speak, well, maybe it's a strange reason.

"Lona is very dependent on Merlin..."

Rui Wen sat beside the little wolf girl, she explained to Laura:

"Just like you depend on Merlin, maybe you don’t know, Lorna was also picked up by Merlin, including me too... Everyone came to this house in the same way, Merlin is a kind guy, he I hope we can have a good life, so..."

"We also want to get along peacefully."

Ruiwen took the initiative to reach out and put it on the palm of the little wolf girl who was always cold. Laura's subconscious claws would pop up, and she was still not used to someone touching her. But the claw was blocked by an invisible force and could not be ejected.

"Don't be afraid, Laura."

Rui Wen said softly to the little wolf girl:

"I'm just like you. I have experienced a situation where I can only survive with great vigilance. I know the feeling of being helpless in the face of goodwill, but you have gone home."

"Here, you can relax, no one will hurt you, no one can hurt you here, and most importantly, you can't hurt other people here... Learn to treat this as a family, but if If you are not good, I will beat you too."

Ruiwen patted Laura's shoulder, she said:

"Merlin has enough things, we shouldn't trouble him any more, bring your things, come with me, there are empty rooms on the second floor, and I will take you by the way..."

"The first warning, Laura, don't get too close to it before Gugu accepts you."

Seeing Ruiwen stand up, Laura bit her lip, she also stood up, beside her, Lorna reluctantly helped the little wolf girl pick up her school bag, and the three girls stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

On the edge of the hall, Frank hid in his doghouse to watch this scene. It just saw how Lona’s metal eagle was cut by Laura. It didn’t think he had the ability to overcome Laura, which made it silly. The dog's heart is a bit sad.

"Fuck, there's another one that can't afford it, the family status is -1 again, and the day ahead is far away."

"Mother Carol, my big backer, come back quickly..."

————————————

Merlin didn't know what was happening at home, but he believed that Ruiwen, who is now mature and stable enough, could handle everything at home.

What's more, the friendship between the girls, he big man still don't want to intervene.

Laura's past made the child develop a very indifferent character. She needs to find a way to make friends. If Merlin blindly protects her, it will make things worse.

Merlin is still very confident in the two sisters he cultivated. He believes that Lorna and Ruiwen can always open Laura's heart.

Moreover, Merlin does have important things to do now.

In Ci'en Port, Maine, there are some changes from the scene when Merlin came 14 years ago. This pier is more ruined than before, but a new pier is being opened on the other side of the pier. The lighthouse has not changed, exactly the same as Merlin had seen.

"Bang, bang"

Merlin adjusted his clothes and knocked on the lighthouse door.

After a moment, the wooden door was opened, and lighthouse manager Tom Curry appeared in front of Merlin. Compared with 14 years ago, Tom was much older and his hair became thinner.

After all, he is an ordinary person, and time is an unavoidable poison for him.

"Are you... Merlin?"

But Tom still remembers Merlin. Every year when Arthur Jr.’s birthday, Merlin will send gifts... The same is true of the little Barry on the other side of Central City, who will receive gifts from Uncle Merlin every year.

Merlin had no time to come and see these children who had intersect, but he did not forget them.

"Yes, it's me."

Merlin raised his hand, holding two bottles of rum in his hand, and he said to Tom:

"I haven't come to see you all these years, it's so rude, so I brought a gift."

"Haha, we have been on the phone all the time. Although we didn't meet, we are still friends. I guess you must have something to tell me when you come."

Old Tom opened his hand and gave Merlin a hug. He said:

"But good wine can't be wasted. We can drink while talking. Come on, come in."

Tom ushered Merlin into the lighthouse. He lived here just like in the past. The house in the lighthouse was clean and tidy. It can be seen that Tom is still a man who understands life like in the past.

"Is Arthur absent?"

Merlin sat on the sofa, unscrewed the cap, and poured himself two glasses of wine with Tom.

At that time, Tom's help in finding Vico, an undersea man, was still vivid. In a sense, Merlin was able to survive the endless doom and dissipate, and Tom also contributed.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tom is Merlin's life-saver.

There is not much alienation between the two. As Tom said, although Merlin has not returned in these years, they occasionally talk on the phone.

"Arthur went to sea."

Tom leaned on the sofa. The dog he had raised was old and he couldn't run. He could only lie on the feet of the owner. The dog seemed to remember Merlin. He kept staring at Merlin with muddy eyes.

"He studied oceanography at Cornell University. This semester seems to have gone to the Indian Ocean for an internship, and it will probably take a few months before he can go home."

Tom picked up the glass and touched the glass with Merlin. The two men drank the wine from the glass. They chatted and talked, and the atmosphere in the lighthouse seemed calm.

"Oh, is it just an inspection?"

Merlin took out a few photos in a weird tone and handed it to Tom. He sipped his wine and said to Tom:

"Some of my colleagues in Asia recently heard some outrageous rumors that an eccentric young man appeared in the Indian Ocean and rushed out of the sea with a mask to help those stranded or in danger. The ship... has saved many people in just over a month."

Merlin blinked and said to Tom:

"Little Arthur is very active. He is using his power to do something as good as he can. You have trained him well, Tom, but... he is a little too high-profile."

Tom didn't speak. He looked at the photos in his hands. The photos recorded different scenes, but in each scene, there was a guy who resembled his son.

He wore an exaggerated diving suit like a costume, with a weird mask, and gestured OK to the camera.

"Ah, I persuaded him."

Tom said helplessly:

"Before he returned to Ci'en Port during the summer vacation, there was a great disturbance because of saving people. I am not letting him save people. I also hope to see my children use their power and become a hero to help others. , But... he is still a young man."

"Well, young people, like to be in the limelight."

Merlin then said:

"Don’t blame him too much, Tom, Arthur has been very convergent. At least he still knows to wear a mask to hide his identity. You don’t know how crazy those young people on the streets of New York...and those who are famous for fishing, to win applause. Compared to the "heroes" who helped others, Arthur has performed very well."

"To be honest, I have always been curious about what you are doing, Merlin."

Tom threw the photo on the table and he said to Merlin:

"After you and Bruce left, there was a one-eyed guy who came to the door and looked very uncomfortable."

"You are talking about my current boss, a guy who doesn't like it."

Merlin said softly:

"What I do specifically, I can’t tell you, Tom, when you can be assured, I may not be a good person, but I have never done bad things. Also, this time, I brought you a bad thing The news is my answer to the news that you asked me to inquire, but I hope you will be mentally prepared."

"Ok?"

Tom blinked. He put down the glass. He said:

"About Atlantis?"

"Correct."

Merlin says:

"I bring news from your wife."

"really?"

Tom’s expression immediately became excited. Since his lover Atlanta was taken away by the fierce Atlantis soldiers in 1985, he has been waiting for her return, but he is just an ordinary person. He couldn't collect any news related to Atlantis.

Vico, the undersea man who trained his children, has been hiding from him.

This gave Tom a bad hunch in his heart.

"She... is she alright?"

Tom couldn't help but clenched his fists, he said:

"Have you seen her?"

"NO, I have not."

Merlin said frankly:

"But I recently met a person from Atlantis. In terms of blood relationship, he should be regarded as the nephew of Ms. Atlanta, and the relationship between Arthur and the younger cousin. He told me that Atlanta was in It was thrown into the trench by the king of Atlantis more than ten years ago... that was a kind of punishment. In theory, there was only one end to be thrown into the trench."

Merlin looked at Tom, who had despair written on his face.

Merlin said again:

"But you don't need to be desperate, Tom, I have somehow confirmed that Ms. Atlanta is still alive, she may just be hiding somewhere."

"really?"

Tom's eyes widened. He looked at Merlin. He said in a tone of prayer:

"Can you confirm?"

"I can confirm."

Before coming to Ci'en, Merlin asked parchment, and the parchment gave him the exact answer. Tom's lover, Arthur's mother, and Ms. Atlana were indeed alive.

But Merlin did not continue to ask where the lady was, because the parchment would certainly not be so generous to tell him the specific location.

Merlin also wanted to help Tom find his lover, but after being warned several times that the node of his destiny was coming, Merlin couldn't be more involved.

"This... Tom."

Merlin took out the parchment and handed it to Tom. He said to Tom:

"You can think of it as a magical singular object. If you ask it a question, it will answer you, but you need to pay some price."

Merlin reminded:

"This price may be very heavy. If you really want to know where Ms. Atlanta is, you can ask it."

Tom had almost no hesitation. He took the parchment, took a pen from the side, and wrote the question on the parchment. After a while, Tom's expression changed and the parchment asked him.

But Tom didn't hesitate too much, he drew a circle on the parchment, and at the next moment, the old man stood up suddenly, his face full of surprises.

Obviously, he got the information he needed.

"She's still alive, she's there... she's waiting there, she remembers me, she's relying on our short and happy memories alone to persevere... so good, so good."

Tom was so excited that Merlin had to release him an Axifal to calm him down.

Merlin asked:

"What does it ask of you?"

Tom hesitated. He returned the parchment to Merlin. He said:

"I can't tell you, it keeps me secret, but that's about you... and Arthur."

"Well, I won't ask."

Merlin put away the parchment and he said to Tom:

"I know you are happy now, but I still want to remind you, Tom, it's better not to tell Arthur about his mother until Arthur is not strong..."

"I understand, I understand."

Tom nodded and said to Merlin:

"It's okay, I can wait. Both Atlanta and Arthur have a lifespan far beyond ordinary people. Arthur has enough time to prepare to pick up his mother. It doesn't matter if I can't see which day, as long as Att Lanna is still alive, as long as she can meet her son, everything will be fine.

"Well, if Arthur wants to act, if I was still there then..."

Merlin patted Tom on the shoulder. He said:

"I will help too. Drink here today, Tom, I'm going to see Vico. There are more things about Atlantis, and I want to talk to him."

"Then bring this."

Tom walked into the room. After a while, he took the silver pendant that Merlin used to call Vico. He said to Merlin:

"It was the cliff that year, and Vico often appeared there. This time, I won't go with you."

"Merlin, the paper just gave me some extra warnings."

Tom said to Merlin:

"Don't tell Vico about the news that Atlana is still alive... The undersea man is loyal to his king first, and then only examines his personal feelings. I am worried that this news will cause Atlana trouble."

Merlin nodded and said goodbye to Tom. He said:

"I know, take care of yourself, Tom."

"Continue to wait with confidence for your wife to come back...you can definitely wait for her, don't forget to invite me to drink when the time comes."
