Chapter 291 Vivian and Merlin

"... Are the giants digging graves here?"

After listening to Ye Zhi's report, Vivian frowned. "What an annoying bunch of idiots. They don't know anything and always cause trouble for others."

"Do you need me to drive them away for you?"

Yeats bent down slightly, his voice a little excited: "If you need me, I will drive all those giants out of here——"

"Enjoy your vacation and don't cause any trouble for me."

Little Vivian looked bored.

The girl with silver hair and silver eyes, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, stretched out her hand, pushed away Yeats who was blocking her way, and walked towards the deserted alley.

The strength was so light that it would be difficult to even push the door open.

But Ye Zhi was easily pushed away by her - not because little Vivian had any special power stored in her body, but because he simply did not dare to resist in front of his former master.

"Although there is a fifth-level giant among those giants, I can do it..."

Ye Zhi, who was pushed away, did not leave. Instead, he turned around and followed Vivian again. He bent down and whispered in a low voice, "I have completely digested the drop of blood you left for me. Now I have successfully reached the fifth energy level..."

"And then?"

Without even turning around, Vivian asked, "You can drive them away, or you can kill them. Then you'll attract Wolfram, or expose me."

"After all, I'm not that interested in the Sacred Entity—or rather, it's been on Glass Island for so long, Arthur must have found it. Even if Arthur didn't, that bastard Merlin should have found it.

"I'm really begging you, please don't cause me any more trouble. Do you know how many Pillar Gods and Apostles are eyeing Avalon? If you come to see me, you might have exposed me."

"Master, I also met someone on the road..."

Yeats, like a big black dog, ignored Vivian's boredom and resistance and continued to chase her, "She was carrying Meg's wine jug, so she might have known Meg. She also came into contact with Lancelot's descendants, and she also has the aura of Alexander, Hermes, and Heracross..."

"I know who she is, so don't worry about it."

Vivian said coldly: "That's Haina, Meg's last disciple."

Her pace quickened a bit.

Ye Zhi also sped up and followed up, adding, "Also, she still has the aura of that Mathers..."

Having said that, Vivian stopped.

She turned back to Yeats and said coldly, "I've already told you, I have my own plans. I'm now Vivian Mathers—do you understand me?"

"Yes, Master."

Yeats stood there respectfully, his body completely blocking the back.

He was so big that it was difficult for him to stand in the alley. Even his clothes were rubbed with white dust, but he didn't care at all: "Is there anything I can do for you now?"

Vivian sighed deeply, put her hand on her forehead, and had an extremely complicated expression.

She knew that she probably couldn't get rid of it.

This stupid dog needs to be given some work to do, otherwise he'll be a nuisance all the time.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Vivian muttered, lost in thought.

She thought for a moment and snapped her fingers.

Yeats immediately opened his eyes wide, straightened his chest and raised his head, looking over seriously.

"You go and keep an eye on those giants."

Vivian ordered, "If they find a way to enter Eagle Point Village, you must stop the giants. Your first priority is to protect that 'Alexander'... If possible, become their friend. At least make them familiar."

"Then, stop the giants from approaching the swamp. If possible, stop everyone from approaching the swamp."

"...The man I met on the road was from Eagle Point Village."

Yeats added: "But I looked around and there's not a village called Eagle Point around here."

"It was the old Beheading Valley, where the giants executed rebels and slaves. Later, Heleqin and Weizhe signed a contract, then Amber 'inscribed' the area, and finally the goblins... The three forces happened to choose the same place. Strictly speaking, it was a coincidence - Alexander told me about this decades ago."

Little Vivian said coldly, "That Haina should be the result of Alexander's research... Her birth is somewhat related to me. After all, I gave her the ritual. So you go and protect the ritual."

"The way to enter Eagle Point Village is to enter the forest next to Bagpipe Town after noon. Find a small path and keep moving forward in the forest, but try to walk slowly. Just keep walking in the direction of no light, and enter when dusk comes."

"I see."

Yeats nodded seriously and accepted the task.

But he turned around and asked, "So, are you looking for something here?"

"Yes, but you don't have to look for it. I'll tell you if I need it."

"My sense of smell is very keen, Master. I can already smell the scent of cause and effect."

"Not even close, my little idiot."

Little Vivian laughed sarcastically and said, "We're just getting started... We'll have to wait until that plan is implemented. The fifth level can't do anything."

"What's the plan?"

"I've already said it, it has nothing to do with you."

Vivian ordered, "Okay, go and complete your task."

"If I complete your mission..."

Yeats's eyes were full of hope and love: "Can I come back again?"

Seeing this, little Vivian sighed again.

"As you wish, but I have nothing to offer you now—my blood, my love, my flesh. I cannot reward you with anything. I am not Vivian now, I am Vivian Mathers… and this body of mine is only seven years old, my dog. That means I am only eight years old."

Vivian asked back, "Do you know what eight years old means? Do you want me to write a book to teach you? Hmm?"

"But you will eventually return to heaven."

Yeats said respectfully: "You are the eternal star in the sky."

Vivian simply replied casually, "No, I'm not going back. At least not in the near future. You don't know, the dream world is not as safe as the material world—Okay, go ahead. Carry out the mission."

"Your wish, Master."

Yeats half-knelt on the ground respectfully, and then disappeared without a trace.

But Vivian just stared at the sky for a long time.

After a moment, she shook her head.

"...These days, being in heaven isn't as safe as being on Earth. At least on Earth, you won't be pulled down for no apparent reason.

"Sacred entities and such... Ha, you foolish giants. You think you can touch that? You are just as stupid as the others."

Vivian muttered to herself.

"Vivian!"

A girl's childish voice came from behind her: "Don't go into the alley, your clothes will get dirty!"

"Because I'm curious where the other end leads to—"

Vivian's face immediately lit up with an innocent smile. With a crisp sound, she turned around and ran back to reunite with the children. After a while, joyful laughter could be heard from the crowd.

And in that alley, suddenly there was another person.

He was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a dark blue robe, holding a staff in his right hand and a short sword slung across his waist.

The young man had short, messy black hair and wore a round monocle on his left eye.

He squinted his eyes and smiled warmly, and his neutral appearance looked beautiful.

"—Who are you talking to, Vivian? Do you sense my presence?"

Gazing at the direction where little Vivian left, Merlin stroked his chin thoughtfully: "But it's not like... If she realized it was me, she would definitely not say anything.

"That's strange... Who do you think is eavesdropping here? Is there anyone else here?"

But, being pulled down...

Merlin narrowed his eyes and pushed up his monocle.

He remembered what Aiwass had told him.

— Something went wrong with the Shadow of Avalon ritual.

Although he was very confident in himself, Merlin still went to take a look just to be on the safe side.

As a result, something really went wrong.

He could only quickly tell Queen Sofia in his dream not to use this ritual until he could adjust it.

But the problem was that that wasn't something Vivian could fix. Resurrection is a relatively simple function, while bringing down the Celestial Master is a much more complex one. It's impossible to just randomly modify a simple ritual and make it run stably and accomplish a more complex function.

In other words, it wasn't a bug, but another ritual hidden beneath the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual he had set up.

Here comes the problem.

His ex-girlfriend, Vivian, didn't know any complicated rituals at all. And Merlin had never heard of a ritual that could bring down Tianshi.

Who did she get in touch with?

A disaster that can only be avoided by reincarnating as a mortal...

The Avalon Shadow Ritual that can bring down Shadow Tiansi...

I won't be pulled down for no reason...

The Ceremony of Alexander...

Then there's the legend of the "Divine Entity"—a fragment of a celestial being from the Path Beyond that fell into the material world and gained self-awareness.

"Could there be a connection between these things?"

Merlin pondered.

But he was certain of at least one thing—this was at least a conspiracy at the Tiansi level.

Merlin pondered for a long time, then raised his staff. A portal of azure light emerged from the staff, enveloping him.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived in the fairy kingdom.

A fairy about ten centimeters long spotted him and came over with its wings flapping: "Merlin, is that Merlin?"

Immediately afterwards, a large group of goblins heard the sound and came over, suddenly becoming noisy.

"Merlin, are you back to play?"

"Don't go, Merlin!"

"If you dare to leave us and run away, I'll stew you with the apples!"

"Merlin's stewed apples! Merlin's stewed strawberries!"

"I want Merlin's stewed orange!"

"Quiet, quiet, little cuties."

Merlin pulled his wide-brimmed hat, revealing his signature smirk beneath his shadowed face. "Take me to see the Queen. I have something to ask her."

Update completed!
