Chapter 238 Merlin Manor

When the starships from the neutral star pass through the C star field, the first checkpoint is the inspection of the imperial army.

The starship stopped at the Imperial Space Station. Imperial soldiers came to the starship for routine inspections, and Xu Xizhen was among them.

She was dressed in an imperial military uniform and had been promoted to the rank of major, just like Liu Zheng. She looked much more mature, and her originally long blonde hair had been cut much shorter. She looked serious and indifferent, completely different from her previous self.

Xu Lingqu stood on the starship. She was wearing the clothes of a messenger of God and a silver mask, covering her whole body tightly. In this state, she was observing her sister openly.

She has changed a lot.

After his sister left, Xu Xizhen began to grow at an accelerated pace.

Xu Xizhen noticed the gaze that had been resting on him. When he looked back, he only saw a person dressed in rather unusual clothes.

"Who is she? What does she do?"

It was Chike who answered again: "My senior sister, she is a believer, so she dresses like this."

After hearing what he said, Xu Xizhen glanced at Xu Lingqu again.

Although this person was dressed strangely and kept staring at Xu Xizhen without saying a word, Xu Xizhen couldn't actually dislike her.

For some reason, Xu Xizhen didn't want to embarrass her, so he just let her not say anything.

Xu Xizhen nodded, and after checking that there were no problems elsewhere on the starship, she left.

The neutral starship began to sail towards the Federal Congress Star. Chike walked up to Xu Lingqu and asked, "Will you regret it?"

Xu Lingqu took off his mask and looked at him in confusion.

"Will you regret missing out on your loved one's growth and not getting to know her?" Chick looked at her.

"I'll feel guilty, but I won't regret it." Xu Lingqu put on his mask again. "And if I stay by her side forever, I might not even see the day she grows up."

Chike lowered his eyes: "Being your relative is a very happy but also very cruel thing."

Xu Lingqu suddenly asked, "Are you scared?"

Chick was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips.

"They say people like to make small talk when they're scared or nervous."

The neutral starship was heading quickly towards Merlin Manor, a place that had once been like hell to him.

Chick felt a little at a loss for what to do when she lightly revealed the emotions he had been trying to suppress.

"She simply finds you annoying and wants you to shut up." Master Duanmeng glanced at his apprentice and spoke with disdain.

"As expected of a master, he knows how to grasp the key points." Xu Lingqu applauded.

Master Duanmeng glared at Xu Lingqu and said, "Master, you are really shouting in a sarcastic tone."

"Yeah, otherwise you wouldn't want to be called an old man."

Chick: ...

All the tension, fear and embarrassment just now suddenly disappeared in the back and forth banter between the two.

-

After several waves of inspections by federal troops, the neutral starship landed steadily on the satellite of Capitol Star - the planet belonging to the Merlin family.

There is only one building here, Merlin Manor. Its construction area is much larger than the imperial palace on the imperial capital planet. To exaggerate, it is like a small city.

Thousands of Merlin servants, dressed in highly uniform clothing, stood in two rows like clones.

This time, Master Duanmeng said that his new weapon was related to the Holy Fire, so Xu Lingqu could travel all the way to Merlin Manor as a messenger of God without revealing his true identity.

The entire Merlin Manor is also covered by a huge energy protection field, and the guards inside are equipped with real guns and live ammunition.

"Can you get rid of them all while I'm chatting with Youde?" Master Duanmeng asked Xu Lingqu before he came.

"I thought you wouldn't have such doubts after seeing me kicking the mecha that day." Xu Lingqu replied.

"Humph, I told you you're cruel!"

Merlin's servant led them across half of the manor into the huge red brick castle and came to Yoder's study on the top floor.

"I can go in alone, you guys wait outside." Master Duanmeng turned around and said, then pushed open the door and entered the study.

The remaining people included Xu Lingqu, Qike and two of Master Duanmeng's disciples, among whom Qike had the weakest combat ability.

Moreover, after entering Merlin Manor, he couldn't help but tremble, as if there was a ghost haunting him.

Fortunately, he had already told them about the structure of Merlin Manor in advance.

Master Dream Forger was now in the study, talking to Yod Merlin, keeping him under control to prevent him from noticing anything unusual. The three of them stood guard at the door, preventing Merlin's servants from noticing something was amiss and breaking in to inform Yod Merlin.

Xu Lingqu found an excuse to leave alone, and started killing at Merlin Manor according to the terrain given by Qike.

Now everything is going according to plan in an orderly manner. Xu Lingqu used the common excuse of going to the toilet and successfully got one of Merlin's servants to take her to the bathroom.

She quickly killed the man with a silenced pistol and threw him into the bathroom. After walking out of the bathroom, she casually inserted the thing that Master Dream Forging gave her into the port in the corridor.

The powerful virus immediately paralyzed the system in Merlin Manor, and it appeared that there was a problem with the system itself. This caused Merlin's servants to subconsciously start checking the system itself for problems, and they did not immediately think that it was the work of an uninvited guest.

Without the system, the corridor fell into darkness, and Xu Lingqu started a killing spree in the castle with a weapon.

-

In the study, Yudmerlin was using an independent system, so he didn't notice anything unusual outside, and all his attention was now on his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I haven't seen you for so long. You've changed a lot."

The friends who met when we were young have become old men with white hair when we sit face to face again.

Master Duanmeng looked at Youde's current appearance. Although he always called Youde an old monster, he really didn't expect that Youde really looked like a monster now.

His body was bloated, and the flesh on his face looked like layers of a Shar Pei dog. His eyes were cloudy due to lack of rest recently.

"I'm not like you, who's always stayed on the neutral planet, worrying about too many things and aging faster." Yodmerlin held his cane. "Let's get down to business. Where are the new weapons you brought? Also, do you have anything else to talk to me about?"

"I have something else to discuss with you." Master Dream Forging saw that he didn't want to exchange pleasantries, so he simply got straight to the point. "I want to ask you, how did Candice die?"

Master Dream Forger thought about it for a long time alone. Yode's current state must be closely related to Candice's death.
