Chapter 236 Merlin's True Face
After Count Carlo explained the production process of Ansu's products in detail and with great emotion,
They finally reached a preliminary agreement on the matter. The communication was civilized, harmonious and cordial, making Ansu feel like he was back home.
Count Carlo thought Ansu's plan was outrageous, but this also proved that the person on the other end of the phone was undoubtedly his purebred son. If the son was a little less pure, he would not have thought of such a strange operation.
The more outrageous it is, the more it proves that he is the real An Su, and the more real An Su is, the more reliable he is, so the more outrageous the plan is, the more reliable it is.
"The cooperation on the border mainly depends on your imperial capital." Count Carlo frowned, "We have to deal with it in your imperial capital first before we can take action."
"Indeed." What Ansu asked Count Carlo to do was simple. It was just to temporarily restrain the Theocracy.
We have to settle this matter in the imperial capital first.
"I've done this." Count Carlo said, "But I, your father alone, am not enough. You have to find a way to convince those two old guys, Annan and Norman."
"Don't worry." An Su nodded and smiled, "Arthur and Lister will take care of their father."
"Aren't those two idiots about to be expelled from the family?"
Count Carlo was very happy when talking about this matter. Last month, these two little boys dressed up as girls to defraud betrothal gifts, and ended up defrauding their own father. Their true colors were revealed in a live broadcast in public, and Annan and Norman's faces turned pale.
He threatened that if they didn't make it into the top five in this Vatican examination, he would no longer acknowledge them as his sons.
"Please rest assured." Ansu said confidently, "Lister and Arthur have fulfilled their promise to their father."
"Um?"
Count Carlo raised his eyebrows. These two good kids had the only advantage of poor academic performance. Now that they have been with Ansu for a long time, even this only advantage has been distorted. "Can they make it into the top five this time?"
"After finishing the rest," Ansu replied calmly, "Arthur and Liszt are no longer sons."
"You are dressed as women again?" Count Carlo's face darkened.
"This time she really became a girl."
An Su shook his head. Although his tone was calm, the information contained in it was extremely huge. "This is the sword that His Majesty Merlin personally made."
Count Carlo turned pale.
What kind of outrageous thing is this Glorious Church of God? How come you have learned the wrong gender? His eyelids trembled slightly. That's why Count Carlo hated religion.
I have heard that the Glorious Church is tolerant and open, and claims to accept the diversity of the international community.
In fact, the high-ranking officials of the Church must be transgender priests. They like to lure these naive children into the Church and eventually transform them into little Nanliangs who are at the mercy of others.
Especially their leader Merlin.
He had known for a long time that Merlin was not a good guy, but he didn't expect him to be so cruel.
"You must not go to this school." Count Carlo had a gloomy face. He could not let Merlin turn his only son, who had been the only son in his family for three generations, into a little Nan Liang. "Did you hear me? I'm warning you for the last time. Fail this exam!"
"Otherwise I won't help you!" Carlo emphasized.
"Please rest assured." An Su nodded confidently, his eyes flashing with honesty and confidence, "I will definitely be in the top five in this exam!"
Although Luo Xiaohei also handed in his paper, Luo Xiaohei is more or less not a human being.
Ansu didn't lie.
"I don't believe you." Count Carlo snorted coldly. He knew this kid too well. He never told the truth. "Swear to me, swear!"
"How cruel do you want it to be?" An Su asked.
"Be as ruthless as possible." Count Carlo demanded. If the oath was not ruthless enough, this kid would definitely try to find ways to get away with it, and his idea of taking shortcuts must be eliminated from the root.
"Then I swear on the name of Morningstar—"
An Su was a good and filial child. He would naturally do whatever his father asked him to do, and he immediately began to solemnly swear.
With his back straight and his right hand on his chest, he looked solemn and serious, his dark blue pupils flashing with sacred ripples. He put his index fingers together and made a cross clockwise on his chest, asking for witnesses. He opened his thin lips and solemnly swore to the world:
"I, Ansu Morningstar, will definitely be in the bottom five in this exam. If you violate this sacred oath, my entire family will be exterminated!"
".Too cruel."
Count Carlo was silent for a while, his face as if he was constipated, and he spoke slowly.
It is a great honor for the Morningstar family to produce products like Ansu.
"Isn't this what you asked for?"
An Su said that this was the cruelest oath he had just thought of, but he blinked and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I have an even crueler one. I wonder if you have heard of a concept called 'Nine Clans'"
"You win, kid."
Count Carlo let out a long sigh. He even made several "Puh" sounds, indicating that all the oaths he had just made were invalid. His face was almost hurt from holding it in. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "It's Dad's fault. I should have believed you. I will never force you to swear again. Put away your magical power."
It feels so good to be trusted by others. An Su showed a satisfied and happy smile. As long as you treat others sincerely, be filial, know how to be considerate of your elders, do your best and exceed the requirements of your elders, you can win the respect and trust of your family through practical actions.
"Alas." Count Carlo sighed helplessly, and almost wanted to introduce his production process to Ansu again, but he finally held back and said, "Now that we have finished talking about the business, is there anything else?"
"No more." An Su replied, "By the way, I was bribed by the examiner during the exam, and I recently earned two more Scales of Order in the Holy See. Dad, do you want me to send one back to you?"
He thought that although the Balance of Order was not expensive, it was not circulated in the outside world, and his father should have never seen such a rare item.
Anyway, I have one extra one, so I might as well send it home for him to evaluate.
"I told you to be a loser, but you're making money for me."
Count Carlo was so angry that he became extremely frustrated.
"Who taught you to be so frugal and filial? You even want to send money back home. This is outrageous! Can't you bribe the examiner honestly like other normal children? How can I feel at ease with you in the future!"
"Get out." Count Carlo cut off the magic communication. Before Ansu on the opposite side could say anything, the magic connection was forcibly cut off, leaving only the beeping sound.
After hanging up Ansu's magic communication, Count Carlo leaned back in the glazed gold armchair, rubbed his brows, and sighed several times; the tribunes and butlers on the side saw their master's appearance and knew that the young master must have made the master angry again.
"Sir." The tribune carefully observed Count Carlo's expression. Seeing that his expression had eased a little, he boldly said, "The envoys of the Church have been waiting for a while. Are we going to release the pack of abyssal dogs in the cages to drive them away?"
The Abyss Hound in the Morning Star Family's cage is a monster born from the abyss after the Naraku world was completely shattered. It is of the same level as the Void Moth born from the void. It is called a hound, but in fact it is the legendary Abyss Demon. Its strength is at the fourth level, and its temperament is evil and greedy. Once it falls into reality, it will devour everything and feed on all living beings. It is very terrifying.
Later, because the food at Morning Star's house was the best, consisting of all mid- to high-level seafood monsters, they teamed up to stay in the cage and refused to leave, eating up all of Morning Star's daily leftovers. It was quite terrifying.
Whenever they encountered unwelcome strangers, the housekeepers would simply release the dogs to drive them away. It was not because these abyss demons were tamed by the Morning Star Family, but because they had a sense of territory and were afraid that demons of other races would come and steal their food.
This is a stable job.
"Take back all the dogs."
Count Carlo thought for a while, and finally stood up. He took out a swallowtail coat from the butler, put it on, buttoned up the long row of buttons, and put on the star family emblem that symbolizes the Morningstar family. "Prepare for the dinner. I'm going to meet those secret believers."
"By the way." Count Carlo slowly instructed the butler, "Tell them to put away the gifts as well. They are not enough to feed my dog for more than ten years."
"Yes, sir." The butler naturally followed suit.
"Give the esoterics a dog bowl at the dinner party."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The dog will have a problem with that." The housekeepers were silent for a while, then slowly said. -After hanging up the magic communication with his father, Ansu looked out the window at the sky, only to see that the heavy rain that had originally covered the sky had stopped for a while.
The originally rosy afterglow of the sunset became soft and transparent after being washed by the summer rain, like a roll of pink gauze covering the evening sky. Farol was quiet in the evening breeze.
After dinner, An Su waited for a long time, and suddenly the magic communication came with the excited voice of the chaotic elevator. He said several strings of words in a row.
"Brother Stairs, you are amazing!"
"That old Morning Star has tentatively agreed to the Church's request! Now we only need the consent of the Sun and Moon families. Once that master shows up, the Church will be able to enter the heart of the empire!"
"According to the envoys, the head of the Morning Star family was sensible. Not only did he not dare to accept any gifts, he also entertained them very attentively. You don't know what a magnificent banquet the envoys attended. It is said that even the utensils they used were expensive abyss items, stained with forbidden evil aura."
"Brother Staircase, you are the greatest contributor to this negotiation. The leaders of the Church are very happy and will promote you greatly."
"As long as we bring down Cersei, even the Lady of the Stairs will not be your match."
After listening to the report on the chaotic elevator, An Su had a general understanding of the situation, and the initial preparations were complete.
This was a reassurance to the esoteric sect.
Having completed the mission, the higher-ups will not trouble Ansu for the time being, so he can concentrate on the next things.
He glanced in the direction of the study. Elf was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge. He instructed Miss Enya to monitor Elf at all times. In order to stabilize Elf, Ansu even wrote several exercise books in a row.
For example, "The Secret Scroll of the Legendary Wizard Wang Houxiong" and "The Zhihong Optimization of the Glorious Demigod Ren Zhihong". So much dazzling forbidden knowledge was placed in front of Elf that even the cat's eyes were dazzled.
Seeing that Elf was enjoying herself at Ansu's house, Ansu decided to take this opportunity to go out alone. He wanted to find Merlin.
It just so happened that it was sunny outside.
He followed the path familiarly to the Magic Guild, went up to the tenth floor of the guild, and arrived at the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven. Only then did An Su realize that things were getting awkward. He had been kicked out of the group chat by the Kingdom of Heaven a few days ago, and the cooling-off period for joining the group chat had not yet ended, so he could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
But it wasn't that difficult to find Merlin.
Because Merlin is going to take the initiative to cause trouble for Ansu! Ansu only felt a gust of cold wind around him. The pure white pupils had been firmly locked on him since the moment Ansu stepped into the Magic Guild. The terrible power of the demigod was madly expanding, and it attacked Ansu fiercely.
"Your Majesty Merlin—" he said with a smile.
But when Ansu turned around, he saw the pure white existence standing at the end of thousands of steps, like an illusion, the crimson robe fluttered in the night wind, spreading all the way along the sky, magic circuits kept emerging, the door of the sky was open, and the angel was about to come to the world in an instant.
Sacred songs also echo in my ears.
He had seen it many times, so how could he not be familiar with this kind of scene? This familiar magic circuit diagram and the familiar flow of magic were clearly Merlin's most notorious sacred-level magic [Light of Judgment].
And once he made a move, it was the light of judgment of the second circuit!
An Su broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that Merlin would attack him based on his gender as soon as they met. It turned out that his father was right, the Glorious Church was full of perverts from top to bottom.
"Your Majesty Merlin." Ansu maintained his calmness. He raised his head and looked at the pure white figure at the end of the stairs. "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Merlin said with a wry smile, "Just to reunite you three sisters."
How dare this kid come back! He relied on his name to make up the test questions, causing almost all the candidates to fail. If it weren't for his kindness and leadership, and the priests under him were loyal and courageous, and took the initiative to draw lots to take the blame, his vacation would have been ruined.
"Your Majesty Merlin, you are joking."
Ansu said, taking out a stack of magic film from his inner pocket, "You don't want the saints to know that you are dating Bishop Rada. If anything happens to me, this video will be spread immediately."
The last time Merlin and Bishop Rada fought, Ansu, who was watching from the side, recorded it all with a recorder.
".The kid below."
Merlin was silent. He stopped transmitting magic power. The angel had only come halfway to the human world when he stopped his business trip and returned to heaven. The overwhelming pressure of the demigod was completely dissipated. Merlin was almost laughing at Ansu.
If this dark history were to become known to others, Merlin's career as a bishop would be over.
He sighed helplessly and said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
Although heaven is closed, its afterglow has not yet faded, and a dim glow remains between the steps.
The sky outside the glass wall also darkened. As night fell, thick leaden clouds covered the end of the horizon. The setting sun could not shine through and could only tilt towards the dark clouds, making half of the world and half of the sky red.
"Actually, I already know that you are not Merlin."
Ansu looked at Merlin with a calm smile, raised the magic recorder in his hand, and said slowly,
"Your Excellency, the Bishop of Chaos, the real Merlin Andre has actually been possessed by you."
Merlin: ".You are bullshitting me."
