Chapter 180



Although Ize Shan was still thinking about Archer who suddenly appeared, it was not as interesting as the fact that Oberon had to disguise himself as Merlin to chat with Arthur.

Ize Shan excitedly took out a lot of Merlin's things, so many that Oberon was amazed.

There are Merlin's magic crystals, flowers and soil from Avalon, Merlin's petal earrings, a translucent scarf that is obviously Merlin's, and purple crystals surrounding the Tower of the End.

If it were just these things, Oberon would still find it acceptable, after all, they were just material possessions. But the things that came after made his face twisted.

Ize Sugi even has a white ribbon woven from Merlin's hair!

The entire ribbon is about 1.5 meters long, and is obviously woven from Merlin's longest and strongest hair. Two fine amethyst chains are sandwiched inside. The prismatic amethysts exude a mysterious and deep luster, and finally hang down naturally in a white tassel.

Izawa Sugi held the ribbon flat, and with a flick of his wrist, the palm-wide ribbon was pulled open like a folding curtain, and became a shawl. He casually hung the shawl on his shoulders and asked Oberon, "What do you think? Even you would mistake someone for someone else, right?"

Oberon looked at Izeshan with a strange expression, hesitating to say: "Merlin actually gave you something like this?"

Izawa Shan didn't take it seriously: "He said that it was a waste to throw away his hair. I said if you don't want it, give it to me. The fur of magical creatures is the best material for casting spells. I can process it and make it into a protective cloak. So he gave it all to me, and also gave me some purple crystals scattered around the Tower of the End as ornaments and buckles."

Oberon was stunned: "Ah, is that so?"

How come he doesn't know that Merlin is such a kind person?

Yue——No, if you use the word "good Samaritan" to describe Merlin, he will vomit.

Izawa Sugi revealed a hint of happiness that was well hidden.

"Actually I know why he gave me this."

"As a kalashnikov, he can only feel joy and happiness, and hunts for food. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have other emotions, he just can't feel them."

Izawa Sugi's expression turned into a funny one: "Merlin is such an idiot. He always realizes his emotions after the fact, like the incident with Al. I can't help it. Who made him a demigod~"

If there really wasn't, why would there be any regret and remorse later on? Why would I still be obsessed with Altria's ending?

After the collapse of the Round Table, even Merlin himself admitted that he, who was born without emotions, might have really fallen in love with the beautiful and dazzling Dragon Heart, but what was the use?

Izawa Sugi smiled and said, "The coward who blamed himself afterwards and locked himself in the Tower of the End... Ha, he is a big fool. He should continue to be so ignorant."

For Izawa Sugi, Merlin is his precious and cherished best friend.

Even though Merlin used the excuse of losing his hair, Ize Shan still clearly captured the deep friendship that Merlin himself was not aware of.

"I won't remind him. I was too straightforward back then and exposed his regrets. Thinking about it now makes me depressed."

Ize Shan couldn't help but sigh when he thought about how he was too pure during those first years of knowing Merlin and only wanted to help his new friend sort out his chaotic and confused emotions.

Why did he remind this stupid half-dream?

Merlin is often accused of being heartless, and there must be a profound reason for that!

Of course, as a close friend, Ize Sugi will help Merlin before he gets himself into trouble. At other times, he just needs to watch his stupid friend make fools of himself, write down these jokes carefully, and laugh at him to his heart's content in the years to come!

Oberon was puzzled: "Will he regret it? Doesn't he like stories with happy endings the most? And he never tires of playing the role of the protagonist's confidant big brother, trying his best to make the story the way he wants it to be?"

Ize Shan gave Oberon a look that said, "It's fate. He has to teach King Arthur, but he already knows the future of Britain. Who would be willing to participate in something that is doomed to fail?"

Oberon was amazed. "So he taught King Arthur knowing the ending, and in the end he regretted it?"

Oh my god, Merlin completely subverted the image he had in Oberon's mind.

Izawa Sugi waved his hand nonchalantly: "He won't admit it. He will just be curious about himself for having such regrets and pity. For example, "Wow, I actually have such emotions. What a rich and interesting experience."

Oberon choked, not knowing whether to say that Merlin was heartless or that he was unlucky.

He glanced at Ize Shan strangely: "You are quite good at being able to clearly perceive and distinguish his emotions."

Izawa Shan threw his hands up helplessly: "Because my predecessor was a guy who was even less fluent than Merlin, I had to work hard to discern his emotions and thoughts in order to help him clean up his mess."

"No wonder you were able to control Merlin so easily in the Fairyland."

Oberon recalls the scenes in the Fairy Kingdom where individuals hindered each other but also helped each other, such as when Ize Shan was unhappy with Morgan calling Belial her husband, Merlin immediately said he would find a way to resolve the issue; for example, Ize Shan obviously knew what Merlin was up to, but he still confronted him.

Ize Shan sneered: "He is a half-dream demon. For him, Custer is just a goal on his journey of destiny. If he really taught Custer from the beginning, there might be some plastic master-disciple relationship, but you were the one who taught Custer at that time."

Although Merlin concealed it well, Ize Shan still keenly noticed Merlin's indifference and apathy.

In Merlin's view, no matter what Caster has experienced, as long as he completes the mission of the Paradise Fairy, he, Merlin, is just a gatekeeper and guide at the forge, and nothing else matters.

Compared to Custer, it is obvious that good friends who I have known for many years are more important!

"He's worried that I'll get hurt or sacrifice something because of Custer, so he's deliberately avoiding me, and he's also trying to hinder you and cause me trouble."

So even though Merlin brought a lot of trouble to Izawa Sugi, Izawa Sugi didn't care.

The main thing is that Merlin himself doesn't realize what his actions mean, so why should Ize Shan be sulking?

"With your help, everything will be safe." Oberon said in amazement, and turned his attention to the present. "What does the female Merlin look like?"

Izawa Sugi used the transformation technique to transform into a girl with rose pink twin ponytails and a black gothic-style miniskirt.

Oberon nearly choked on his own saliva.

He said incredulously: "Are you kidding me? Even if Merlin turned into a woman, he would never look like this! This is obviously used to deceive people, right?!"

Ize Shan was a little disappointed: "Oh, you know."

He actually wanted to see Oberon jumping around in front of Arthur in the form of Magic★Merry, and take a picture as a souvenir. It would be a picture that would allow him to tease Oberon for hundreds of years.

Oberon: "..."

He couldn't help but pull Ize Shan's hair, "I see what you're thinking, asshole!"

Ize Shan laughed and tried to avoid Oberon's hand to save his hair.

"Okay, okay, I won't mess it up."

Izawa Shan first draped the cloak made of the ribbon in his hand over Oberon, entwined the purple crystals in the tassels, and then he activated the spell contained in the crystal.

The next second, Oberon disappeared, replaced by a petite and beautiful woman.

This woman has long pure white hair and a pitifully beautiful face. Her light purple eyes are sparkling with water. She is wearing a short white skirt with wide sleeves hanging down naturally. Her legs are wearing a pair of black boots wrapped with golden threads. She looks cute and lively overall.

Oberon tried to speak: "Let me see what it looks like."

Then he was surprised to find that his voice sounded familiar, a bit like Custer's.

Izeshan took out a mirror and handed it to Oberon.

Oberon looked at the girl in the picture and said, "Wow, this is Merlin in female form. Except for the clothes, everything else is very similar!"

After a pause, Oberon looked at Ize Shan in disbelief: "How do you know so much?"

Ize Shan chuckled: "Merlin said that if I go to another world, he won't be able to help me in time, and I'll get into trouble, so I can use this identity to take the blame."

Oberon: "..."

He was shocked.

“Are you putting the blame on yourself as a woman?”

"Yes, because although he and she looked at each other, it is said that they made an agreement to [always avoid and never interfere], so they can blame each other after the incident."

Ize Shan reached out and took out his staff.

He first kneaded the soil and branches taken from Avalon together, and then the branches sprouted new buds, and the winding vines entwined around Izeshan's staff, and the staff immediately turned into pure mithril.

Then Ize Shan merged the purple crystal of the Tower of End into the dark crystal on the top of his staff. Soon the dark crystal turned into a deep blue crystal. The thorn ring originally wrapped around the dark crystal turned into a silver ring inlaid with blue crystals. Immediately, the staff began to exude the aura of Merlin.

Ize Shan handed the staff to Oberon and motioned him to look in the mirror.

Oberon turned back and forth in front of the mirror, feeling a mixture of emotion.

"It's exactly the same, but I can't cast magic with your staff."

Ize Shan looked at Oberon speechlessly: "Nonsense, if it were me, it would be fine."

Oberon looked at Ize Shan with burning eyes: "Since you have a full set of equipment, then go ahead yourself!"

Ize Shan sneered, "It was you who wanted to have fun with Arthur. Besides, if I disguised myself as Merlin, Arthur would definitely see through it."

Oberon frowned. "Why? I'm going to pretend to be Merlin who never met Arthur. It doesn't matter if I don't look much like the Merlin Arthur knows. After all, who knows how many years Merlin had lived when Arthur met him."

Ize Shan looked strange: "I guessed it, but that's why he saw through me."

"Because it is impossible for me to bear malice toward Arthur."

Oberon was stunned: "Malice?"

Izawa Shan chose his words carefully: "It's not malicious, but it's definitely not a positive emotion. Oberon, when you learned about your mission and had to destroy the fairy kingdom, did you hate this mission?"

Without waiting for Oberon to answer, Ize Shan said, "Merlin, a half-nightmare, was told to go to the human world to raise and educate King Arthur, and was also told in advance that the Round Table Dynasty was doomed to be destroyed in the future. What do you think Merlin would think?"

"When Al stood before the Sword of the Chosen, ready to draw the Sword in the Stone, Merlin told her the future directly."

Ize Shan looked a little confused, "Do you feel sorry for Al's future? Do you hate being controlled by fate? Or do you just want to have fun? What if Al just wants to be a country girl?"

"Merlin is incapable of perceiving such complex emotions, and doesn't even know that he has them. Naturally, he appears to be heartless and does whatever he wants."

Ize Shan shook his head, "But I can't do it. Arthur's intuition will definitely take effect, so you have to do it."

Oberon remained silent.

Ize Shan added: "By the way, don't say you are Merlin. Arthur will clearly judge that you are not. You, um, let me think about what Merlin said at the time? Oh!"

He clapped his hands. "I remember now. He said that no matter whether it is him or her, they are both warehouse managers of Avalon. You can call yourself Ms. Avalon."
