Merlin As the dean of the Royal Capital Magic Academy, his home is located in the college. It is very grand and stylish, and it occupies a large area in the college, but no one has any opinions.
There were no servants like maids inside. Claire and Yana knocked on the door and were led in by a magic doll.
Claire has been observing the structure of the doll along the way. Although he is not very proficient in this aspect, he can still see many subtleties. If he can dismantle it and take it back to Isaac for study, he might be able to copy it.
After following the doll into the hall, Claire's heart dropped when he saw the person sitting on the sofa.
"Archmage Merlin." Claire took the initiative to greet him. He thought that Merlin, a busy person, would not be at home, but he didn't expect to bump into her as soon as he arrived.
He still has the broken godhead in his mind, and he is unconsciously afraid of Merlin, afraid that he will see something. If he sees the divine power hidden in his body, he will not be able to resist even if he wants to do something with his strength.
Merlin warmly greeted Claire and the two of them sat down and asked, "What's the matter with you coming here in the middle of the night?"
Although Yana has now become the head of the Guen Family's family, he is still so overwhelmed by Merlin's aura that he dare not speak and can only look to Claire for help.
"We are here to find Miss Edith."
"Haha, you don't have to be so harsh, just call Edith." Merlin laughed.
Merlin didn't ask Claire why they came here, and directly asked the magic doll beside him to call Edith over.
"Please wait a moment, Edith will take a while to come over."
Claire nodded, "It's okay."
Then Merlin suddenly glanced at Claire and said in a surprised tone, "Have you been promoted to Archmage?"
Claire suppressed the nervousness in his heart, nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I encountered some adventures, so I advanced."
"You are just over ten years old this year, right? You have been promoted to Archmage." Merlin's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Seventeen years old."
"You are young and promising. I was promoted to Archmage when I was in my forties."
"Just good luck."
The next two started chatting again. Merlin was very enthusiastic about Claire. He talked openly and secretly about how outstanding his granddaughter Edith was. Claire didn't dare to answer her words.
"By the way, let me tell you something." Merlin seemed to suddenly remember something, "When I was at Blazing Flame Plane, I felt a trace of divine power fluctuations in their Ancestral Spirit, and later I realized that it was a godhead."
"Then he set up a trap and attacked him, trying to get that thing over, but the godhead of Ancestral Spirit behind him was deceived by creatures from other planes, alas."
"Otherwise, if we take it away, we can research something."
Listening to Merlin's words, Claire's heart trembled. He felt that Merlin was testing him, so he pursed his lips nervously and glanced sideways.
After seeing Merlin's expression, Claire was relieved. The other party did not stare at him, but looked regretful. And the tone just now didn't sound like a test, it was just a random sigh.
However, Claire did not dare to talk too much about this aspect. After a few perfunctory words, the topic was transferred back to Edith.
Compared to discussing the godhead, Claire feels that it is more acceptable to discuss Edith.
The former wants his own life, the latter may also want his own...
"Grandpa, why did you wake me up?" Edith rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked down the stairs step by step.
"Why did you come down here in your pajamas?" Merlin hates the fact that iron can't make steel.
"Huh? You must be wearing pajamas when sleeping."
"Hey, Claire is here to see you." After Merlin finished speaking, Yana, who was hiding aside and had no sense of presence, raised his hand, as if to say that he was still there.
"Why don't you go change your clothes?" Merlin suggested again. Seventeen-year-old Archmage will definitely become a Dharma Saint in the future! It would be great if this was my grandson-in-law, but my granddaughter is not living up to expectations!
"It's okay, Archmage Merlin." Claire persuaded with a smile, "Let's just talk about something and then leave. If we had just found out that Edith was sleeping, we would have come back another day."
"Okay, then you young people can chat, and I'm going to bed."
Hearing what his grandfather said, Edith glared at him dissatisfied, woke himself up from his deep sleep, and ended up going to sleep?! Is this something that grandpa can do?
After Merlin left, Claire finally relaxed. After listening to what the other party said just now, it seemed that he had cut off the godhead, and he felt even more confused. Fortunately, Netherworld Soul-Locking Hook was very powerful, and even Merlin, who was at the Dharma Saint level, was not aware that the godhead was in his body.
Edith stepped forward and hugged Yana, congratulating. "Congratulations, you finally became the head of the family!"
Yana was also full of joy and hugged Edith and kissed her several times to express her excitement.
After Edith congratulated him, he asked Yana: "Did you come here for something important in the middle of the night?"
Yana looked at Claire. These words were not hers to say.
"The throne is about to change, and I want to support Irene to take the throne."
Yana also added at this time, "Claire also helped me take the position of head of the family."
"Then why did you come to me?" Edith asked in confusion.
"I want you to support Irene with us." Claire said softly.
"Impossible." Edith refused without thinking, "My grandfather and Archmage Ivan have made an agreement and will not participate in the replacement of the throne."
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yana's eyes. If Edith joined, their chances of success would be higher. This was an obvious rejection. The agreement between the two Dharma Saints was not something they could shake.
"We are not here to seek Archmage Merlin's support." Claire replied.
"Huh?" Edith was a little confused.
"We're here to invite you to join us."
"Does it make any difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. Archmage Merlin is Archmage Merlin. You are you. You do not represent the entire Merlin Family."
Edith knows that Claire is changing the concept. There are four people in the Merlin Family, his grandfather, parents, and himself. If you join them, even if the announcement is just your own personal idea, those people will consider the impact of Merlin later.
Before Edith could refuse, Claire continued, "Yana has joined us. If Irene fails to win the title, she may step down from the position of head of the family."
This is also the reason why Claire called Yana over. Yana and Edith have such a good relationship. Claire just wants that sisterly love to influence and sway Edith.
Edith looked at Yana, and Yana also pretended to be pitiful, hugging Edith's hand and shaking it.
"Help me."
Edith has always been soft-hearted, so he compromised temporarily and said, "Give me some time to think about it."
"Okay, then think about it slowly and we won't bother you." Claire didn't expect to succeed in the first try. Now that the other party is willing to let go, it means that there will be opportunities later, and he will definitely be able to win Edith.
After Claire left, Merlin's figure immediately appeared.
Edith was shocked when Merlin suddenly appeared, "Grandpa! Don't scare me by appearing suddenly."
Then, Edith just wanted to ask his grandfather's opinion.
Merlin then took the initiative and said, "Join him."
"Ah?" This caught Edith off guard.
"What about your agreement with Archmage Ivan?"
"Didn't they give you a solution? You are you, Merlin Family is Merlin Family, what does the agreement with I, Ivan, have to do with you?"
Edith couldn't laugh or cry, "Grandpa, you are following him too much."
"I am optimistic about him. In time, Claire will definitely become a Dharma Saint. The investment now is such a small price."
"And you." Merlin poked Edith's head, "I've reminded you so many times, get Claire as soon as possible."
