"The game is over. I announce that the winner is Miss Hartfilia. According to the agreement, you can give me ten questions, and I'll choose three to answer. However, my answers are limited to yes and no. Now, I'll give you some time to sort out your questions."
His own people had just lost the game, but Merlin did not seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he seemed quite satisfied with the result. With that, he got up from the table and strolled to the other side to pick some fruits to eat.
The maidservant brought a piece of kraft paper and a quill pen for both of them to write down their questions. The white crow-person stood up politely and bowed to both of them. "It's a pleasure to meet you. It's my honor to play a game with both of you, but I won't disturb you anymore. I hope you'll get the answers you want tonight."
Rob nodded. The white crow-person left the table and walked straight to Merlin's side.
The latter was concentrating on eating a plate of mangoes and did not even look up when he heard the footsteps behind him. "How is it?"
"Unfathomable." The white crow-person thought about it carefully and finally chose such a cautious answer.
"Bullsh * t." Merlin snorted. "It's as if you didn't say anything."
The white crow-person was a little helpless. "I'm not Fahm, and business isn't my strong suit. Other than being able to see the big picture and having strong calculation and observation skills, I can't see much. Speaking of which, why didn't you ask Fahm for help? If he's here, he should be able to see a lot of things. Didn't that guy always say that business is the best place to peek into human nature?"
"Fahm has been helping me with something else recently, so he can't make it." Merlin pursed his lips. "It doesn't matter. I just thought of it on the spur of the moment. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I called you over to play."
"You seem to be very interested in him?" The white crow-person asked curiously.
Merlin did not deny it. "Many people are interested in him." After a pause, he continued, "But I didn't expect him to be with that girl from the Bretton clan. Things are starting to get interesting. To be honest, I'm looking forward to his next choice. Tsk tsk ~ I seem to smell the scent of fate."
"Fate? You believe in that kind of thing too?"
"Who knows?" Merlin smiled.
"Do whatever you want. I'm going to retire soon anyway. According to our agreement, I'll hand over everything I have to that little girl called Louisa for the next half a year. Don't bother me again if there's nothing important. Hmm, don't come even if there's something important. You're definitely up to no good." The white crow-man poured himself a glass of ice wine and added.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to retire? Are you planning to learn how to fish?"
"Well, it doesn't matter whether I fish or not. The main thing is that I feel more and more dangerous working for you. It's better to leave while I can. Otherwise, I might be killed by you one day. You know, I hate taking risks the most. Retirement suits me better. "The white crow-man drained his cup." Have a good time. "
With that, he put down his glass, waved his hand, and walked out of the door.
Merlin was not in a hurry. After finishing a plate of mangoes, he munched on some melon seeds before strolling back to the table.
Lolo handed him the kraft paper. "We've finished writing our questions."
Merlin took it. With just a glance, he began to shout, and his expression became very interesting. "Hey hey, you guys are a little too much. You dare to ask me if there are other life forms outside the galaxy? Do you think I'm omniscient? Even the gods don't know about this question. "
"Senior said that as long as we win the game, you'll answer whatever we want to ask. With your identity, I'm sure you won't go back on your word," Lolo said seriously.
"That's true, but you should've asked me something I know." Merlin was speechless.
"Who said we didn't ask you questions you know?"
Merlin scrolled to the end and saw three questions that he could answer. However, he could only answer these three questions. In other words, he did not have the right to choose questions.
Merlin laughed and did not take the girl's thoughts to heart. "Alright, you win this round. I can answer three of your questions, but according to the agreement, you have to answer one of mine."
"Senior, please ask."
Lolo was a little nervous. She was worried that Merlin was planning to use a similar method to make things difficult for them. In the end, Merlin asked a question that made her blush. The latter held his chin and said with great interest, "Hey, are you two dating now?"
The girl was embarrassed, but she still hummed softly according to the agreement. However, her voice was even softer than a mosquito. On the other side, Rob was very calm, but Merlin's question obviously surprised him. From the latter's previous behavior, it was obvious that the reason he met them tonight was for this question. However, the future Supreme Wizard Your Honor did not expect him to ask such a seemingly joking question in the end.
Is this guy looking for fun, or is this question really that important to him?
Does it matter to him whether I'm dating Lolo or not?
"Very well, I've gotten the answer I want, so I'll answer your questions next."
"First question." Merlin raised a finger. "Yes, it's a pity that Karov is no longer in this world."
When she heard the answer, Luo Luo felt as if she had been stabbed by a sword, and her heart ached fiercely. It had been almost six years since the disappearance of the Scarlet Sword. The girl's heart was already somewhat prepared, but she still harbored a faint glimmer of hope. Not long ago, when she saw Mother Teresa, who had disappeared for a long time, this hope grew even stronger.
The girl thought that maybe her father was still alive, but he was captured by the temple and locked up somewhere. After all, no one saw him leave this world. However, Merlin's answer was like a bucket of cold water, completely dousing all her hopes, especially since Merlin did not hesitate at all. It was obvious that he was very sure of the news of the scarlet sword's death.
Merlin did not give the girl much time to feel sad and quickly continued. "Second question, is the answer whether Venner the Fifth is not the mastermind behind the murder of your mother? Well, he is, but he is indeed an insider and a very important participant."
This time, the answer was completely out of Lolo's expectation. The girl could not help but ask again, "Are you sure?"
Although there was no confirmation from Mother Teresa, since things had developed so far, Pope Venner the Fifth was undoubtedly the most suspicious person.
"I'm sure. Although I don't like that guy, I won't frame him for this kind of thing." Merlin spread his hands. "Ha, in a sense, that guy is also very pitiful."
