After all, he is one of the three crown casters.

As far as Lanis knew, she couldn't think of any modern magician who could wrestle with Merlin or sit at the same negotiating table with him.

"Merlin is a mysterious guy. It's unrealistic to expect to find him on our own initiative." Alvin shook his head slowly. "After all, there's no need for us to go looking for him."

"Are we counting on him to come find us?"

Lanis sat with her legs folded in black silk stockings, playing with a lock of golden hair with her fingertips. She said in a joking tone, "If Merlin really comes looking for us, he's probably bringing a large group of knights to arrest us, right?"

"He will come." Alvin smiled. "Or rather, he has noticed you since you entered the royal city."

Lanis was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized something and whispered, "Clairvoyance...?"

Indeed, if it was Merlin, they would have been noticed as early as when they first arrived in Camelot.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that the legendary court wizard has always maintained a mindset of playing games with his life, and he probably wouldn't come to arrest people just for the sake of two 'children' -

dong dong...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Lanis' heart tightened, and then she heard a sound coming from outside.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

"Is your big brother Merlin here?"

...Merlin?!

Lanis stood up almost reflexively and was about to pull Alvin out the window to leave.

However, at this time, she saw Alvin had already walked to the door.

Then, under Lanise's astonished gaze, he slowly opened the door.

Chapter 9 The emperor’s chamber is ready for you!

Almost at the moment when Alvin pushed open the door, Lanis already felt a sense of despair that "her teammates were useless and she couldn't lead the team."

The blonde girl froze in the air, her expression completely frozen on her face, her entire body frozen.

“—Alvin!”

Finally, Lanis came to her senses, took a step forward and wanted to pull this stupid teammate away quickly.

However, the next second, the white-haired wizard at the door walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Unlike what Lanis had imagined, when he saw the two of them, he showed no emotion at all. He just walked naturally to the small round table and sat down.

Then, he looked at the empty table, quickly raised his head and asked with a smile, "Miss Lanis, could you please prepare a cup of black tea for me?"

Lanis was stunned for a long time, until she heard the voice of the white-haired wizard ringing in her ears, and finally she was sure that it was not an auditory hallucination.

goodong...

She swallowed unconsciously, nodded slightly, and then walked out of the room with a confused look on her face.

Only after closing the door did Lanis pat her delicate face heavily.

Meow meow meow? ? ?

What’s going on… ?

This is Merlin, right?

Why did the court wizard ask for tea as the first thing he said when he found them?

Shouldn't He bring a large group of knights to capture people?

...Although Merlin's strength doesn't require any knight orders, he is a Grand Caster after all, so there is no need for him to capture two students from the Clock Tower himself.

Anyway!

No matter what, the first thing Merlin does when meeting someone shouldn't be drinking tea, right?

Just like that, the girl walked down the stairs step by step, confused.

……

at the same time.

in the room.

"Should I say you're lucky, or should I say you had a backup plan, Alvin?"

In the small room, Merlin, wearing a white wizard robe, looked up at the young man in front of him with admiration.

Merlin possesses the ability to observe the present through clairvoyance, and can also see the future of others to a certain extent. In fact, he even saw Alvin's future clearly.

But... Alvin was able to win the resurrection match after his death, which was beyond the observation range of the clairvoyant.

How is it done?

Even now Merlin is puzzled.

Alvin walked to the windowsill and sat down, saying calmly, "I didn't hold back anything. As for how I was reborn... I think you should be able to guess a little."

Merlin was slightly startled, and couldn't help but look at the boy twice more.

"Could it be... Alaya?"

Alvin smiled but said nothing.

Merlin is a very smart man, and precisely because of his intelligence, Alvin only needs to give him a few words of guidance and Merlin can figure out the rest of the story by himself.

At this moment, Merlin suddenly revealed a meaningful smile and said, "So you deliberately lured me here, didn't you? Aren't you afraid that I might spread the news of your return?"

"You should know that there are many people in the Camelot Empire who want to kill you."

Alvin shook his head and said, "If you really wanted to do this, you wouldn't be sitting here chatting with me right now."

Although Merlin is the court wizard of the Camelot Empire, in fact, most of the time, this guy is playing games with his life and is the person behind the tax evasion.

For this nightmare, just being 'interesting' is enough, because it has no feelings towards humans.

"Well, in Camelot, it seems like you're the only one who understands me best."

Merlin spread his hands and smiled, "As a reward for knowing me so well... I'll just listen to what you have to say."

"During this period of time, the Camelot Empire has been capturing time travelers everywhere... What does Lily plan to do with them?" Alvin asked.

"Why don't you just ask her yourself?" Merlin asked doubtfully.

Merlin quickly revealed an amused smile as he finished speaking. "But it's true. She's probably still mad about what you did back then."

"If I really see you... I don't know what will happen."

At the end of his speech, the court mage's tone was filled with a hint of anticipation.

Alvin appeared to be calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside.

When he first played this game, he used all his swords to get the special entry of 'Camelot Night Watch'.

Who would have thought that all this would become true...

If Lily knew about him now…even Alvin didn't know what would happen.

But it won't be a good thing anyway.

Noticing Merlin's playful look, Alvin waved his hand indifferently, saying casually, "You don't need to worry about this. Just answer my question."

In fact, in the plot, Merlin also contributed partly to Alvin's death. Logically speaking, the two should be extremely jealous of each other at this moment.

But perhaps because Alvin had only been experiencing the plot of the game before, or perhaps because he knew Merlin's character, Alvin did not have any aversion to Him.

Ultimately, there was no point in being angry with Merlin, because this guy couldn't understand human emotions at all.

His expressions of anger, happiness, and even smiles are merely imitations of human behavior.

"The time travelers are currently being held in an underground prison outside the palace. As far as I know... the ratio of physical travel to soul travel is about 1:10. As for the number of people, I haven't counted them, so I'm not sure." Merlin said.

Alvin frowned slightly and pondered, "Why do so many time travelers suddenly appear for no reason... And what does Lily plan to do with them?"

"We still don't know how the time traveler appeared, but one thing is certain..." Merlin said dimly, "The time traveler whose soul traveled through time is probably in trouble."

"Ever since your death, the king has become very sensitive to death..."

Alvin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Aren't you the king's guide? Can't you enlighten her?"

"It's no use trying to persuade her. Besides, she already had a crisis of trust in me after you died."

Merlin sighed softly, a helpless expression on his face. "I've watched her grow up, but it really hurts that our relationship has become so strained."

Although he said this, it sounded very frivolous and like a joke no matter how he listened to it.

"If you're looking for me because of the time traveler, then I probably can't help you... You should find some time to talk to Wang." Merlin continued.

Alvin raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not going to stop me from meeting Lily now?"

In the past, Merlin always believed that Alvin was an obstacle to the Camelot Empire and a stumbling block that prevented Altria from transforming.

Although he didn't say it, Merlin actually didn't want to see Alvin and Altria come into contact.

But now... could it be that after a few years, his mentality has also changed?

"Wang has grown up and has her own judgment. I have no right to stop her."

Merlin looked up and smiled, "And essentially what you're trying to do is the same."

Yes... Although it was an emotionless nightmare, Merlin's original purpose was to guide Artoria to become king - even though the moment Artoria pulled out the sword from the stone, He had already seen the ultimate decline of the Camelot Empire.

Looking at the silent Alvin, Merlin said with a somewhat gloating tone, "But you have to be mentally prepared if you go to see her. The king today is no longer the innocent girl you knew before."

"If she knew you were still alive... hey."

After a brief pause, Merlin said in a meaningful tone, "I heard there's a hidden basement in the king's chambers, and the king has never let anyone in."

Alvin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The words "palace" and "basement" combined together don't sound like a beautiful scene no matter how you think about it...

……

The afternoon sun shone on the streets of the royal city. The owner of the hotel seemed to have gone out for something. The door of the shop was open and the shop was empty.

Lanis stood at the wooden table next to the counter, holding a small, exquisite pot and absentmindedly pouring hot water into a cup.

In my mind, I recalled what had just happened.

Even now, the girl still felt extremely dazed, as if she was dreaming.

The legendary great magician from Britain actually took the initiative to find them.

And from the current situation, it seems that this flower magician has no hostility towards them.

Is it true, as Alvin said, that they can communicate with King Arthur through Merlin?

If Merlin really came forward, perhaps it would really be effective... Although King Arthur didn't like Merlin very much, he was still better than these "strangers" anyway.

Maybe it will really go smoothly...

Thinking of this, the blonde girl couldn't help but feel excited and subconsciously clenched her fists.

When she first crossed over to this world, although the girl remained calm on the surface, deep down in her heart she was confused and even afraid.

After all, this is the Camelot Empire during the Age of Gods…

Lanis thought of herself as a genius, but no matter how talented she was, it would be difficult for her to play any role in this era.

If she could really convince Merlin, or even meet the legendary King Arthur later... thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel full of anticipation.

The warm black tea on the table exuded a faint fragrance. Lanice held the teacup, turned around and was about to walk up the stairs.

However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a figure quietly looming behind her.

Then, there was a cold, crisp and pleasant voice.

"An interesting magic circuit, even using liquid mercury to wrap itself... It seems you are a foreigner 'dressed'?"

Almost at the moment she heard the voice, Lanis's body stiffened slightly, as if she was being stared at by a predator.
