Chapter 917 - Engagement
Chapter 917: Engagement
Master Leon’s soul had changed and became Merlin who was forced into this new Latitude Cosmos. He originally had intended to stay as he did in Stedman’s body in the Void Zone, without affecting the self-awareness of the living being.
However, he had underestimated the natural order of this new Latitude Cosmos. Merlin’s Illusory World had collapsed, and once he had entered this world, he had already been targeted by the natural order of this world.
Fortunately, Merlin’s reaction was quick. He saw Leon, and quickly entered his body. However, he did not expect that the natural order of this world would be so tyrannical as to chase after him inside Leon’s body.
The muffled sound earlier was the chase and attack of the new Latitude Cosmos chasing upon Merlin. Therefore, Merlin had to forcibly erase Leon’s consciousness, and occupy his body. However, after occupying Leon’s body, he had gradually forged a close connection with this new Latitude Cosmos.
Now, Merlin’s memory was very chaotic. His situation was quite bad, and could even be called terrible. The Illusory World had completely collapsed, leaving only a trace of the most basic natural order.
Fortunately, this natural order was the core of the Illusory World. As long as this natural order existed, the Illusory World could be gradually restored in the future.
“Master Leon, we’ve arrived!”
The guard’s voice woke Merlin from his reverie. Although his situation was very chaotic now and he had not sorted it out yet, he knew that now was not the right time. Now, he had to observe this Latitude Cosmos as “Leon”.
“Alright.”
Merlin took a deep breath. In such a short period, he was “rejected” by the Void Zone before narrowly escaping death and entering this new Latitude Cosmos. It seemed like it just happened yesterday.
If everything he experienced was a fantasy, then now was the time to wake up. No matter what, he could not reveal a single flaw.
Thinking of this, Merlin’s expression regained its calm, and he slowly walked into the hall.
“Swoosh.”
When Merlin entered the brightly lit hall, everyone in the hall turned their attention to him.
These people were all unfamiliar. At least, there were no traces of these people in Merlin’s chaotic memory. However, judging by their attire, they should be minor aristocrats.
Merlin vaguely knew that the owner of this body was considered a great aristocrat. His father, Stanwin, was a Count. He was the castellan of Boulder City, and ruled over several other small cities. His territory was very large.
Moreover, the Count doted on Leon very much, to the point of spoiling him. Merlin had some memories of his fiancée in his mind. Her name was Reese, and she seemed to be a young lady from a large family.
Originally, Reese did not like Leon, but Leon’s father pulled some strings to oppress people by force and let Reese’s family agree to their marriage.
Thinking about this, Merlin felt somewhat helpless. In his past life in the Void Zone, his father Old Wilson also cherished him deeply. Now that he was in an entirely new world and randomly picked a person out of desperation, this father also doted on him greatly.
“Leon, come here.”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice seemed to let Merlin feel familiar again.
Merlin raised his head, and saw a man in his forties dressed in a magnificent aristocratic robe. His face was very clean and looked somewhat similar to Leon’s.
“Father!”
Merlin immediately knew that this middle-aged man was the father of this body, Count Stanwin!
Although Count Stanwin was over forty years old, he seemed to be more handsome than Merlin. As he had sat in a high position for a long time, his dignified aura added to his charm. Some beautiful ladies present also looked at him differently.
However, in Merlin’s eyes, Count Stanwin was incomparably amiable and kind.
“Leon, your fiancée will be here soon. You’re getting engaged today. When the matters with the Blackbat Militia are finished, we’ll choose a date to hold your wedding!”
Count Stanwin said gently.
Merlin wanted to say something but there seemed to be a commotion in the hall. Merlin turned around and saw a beautiful young woman fully dressed up, walking into the hall with the help of a servant girl.
“Lady Reese.”
Fragmented memories immediately flashed in Merlin’s mind, but he could vaguely see what was going on after carefully linking them up.
It turned out that this body had accidentally met Reese and fell in love with her. After Count Stanwin’s repeated questioning, Leon revealed the truth.
To Count Stanwin, as long as Leon liked it, he would do anything possible to meet Leon’s requests. Therefore, using the Count’s power, he quickly found Reese and came to her door in person before the marriage was finalized.
Of course, only Count Stanwin and Reese’s family knew what methods were used, but it certainly was not glorious. After all, Merlin knew that this body was not favored by others.
As for the specific reason, Merlin was not clear as his memories were still chaotic.
Count Stanwin saw Lady Reese, and revealed a smile. He said softly, “Reese, you’re getting engaged to Leon today. From today onward, you’re a member of the Hilderbrandt clan!”
This was also Count Stanwin showing everyone present his attitude. In Boulder City, no one dared to disobey Count Stanwin’s will.
Merlin took Reese’s hand under the direction of Count Stanwin. Merlin had lived for two thousand years and had two wives in the Kingdom of Blackmoon. Later, he continued to pursue greater strength. He had never imagined that he would take a woman’s hand again. He felt some excitement in his heart.
He assumed that it should be due to Leon’s residual consciousness.
Reese’s smile was somewhat forced. It was clear that she was not very satisfied with Leon. However, she did not reject him.
Then, all the nobles in the hall congratulated Merlin and Reese, and sent them gifts of blessing one after another. Many of them made Merlin feel like they were extraordinary, but he did not know what they were for. After all, this was a brand-new world. Many forces in his past life could not be used now in this world.
Seeing the smile on Merlin’s face, Count Stanwin also seemed very satisfied. He had performed countless meritorious deeds for the empire and even left his successor the title of a Count. Now, he could finally see his only son settle down and get married. Naturally, he was very gratified.
No one noticed that there were some unfamiliar faces in the hall looking around from time to time and occasionally looking at Merlin.
“It’s almost time, we have to seize Leon! As long as we catch Leon, Count Stanwin won’t dare to make a move. Victor, you’re in charge of grabbing Leon. We’ll provide support from the side!”
The man called Victor nodded with a solemn expression and turned toward Merlin.
“Swoosh.”
Merlin raised his head sharply. How strong was he in his past life? He had stood at the peak of the Latitude Cosmos. Furthermore, he vaguely felt that this new Latitude Cosmos was weaker than the Void Zone.
To be able to become the top existence in the Void Zone, Merlin was naturally extraordinary. Therefore, even a hostile look would alert Merlin.
“There’s danger?”
Merlin’s expression did not change, but his heart was alert. It was generally very safe in Count Stanwin’s manor. After all, who dared to go against him, the Count’s only son?
However, Merlin believed in his senses more. If there was a real danger and this body died, Merlin’s Illusory World would be bombarded by the Latitude Cosmos immediately.
Merlin’s fragmented Illusory World would not be able to resist the attack of this new Latitude Cosmos. At that time, the Illusory World would collapse, and the core natural order would crumble. Merlin would truly die.
Therefore, nothing must happen to this body.
Merlin’s eyes constantly swept through the crowd. Finally, he found some strange people. However, the nearest one to him was a stranger who seemed to be walking casually across the hall.
Merlin frowned. His keen perception and sense of danger felt that man’s dangerous aura, so he pulled Reese’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go to father.”
Currently, Merlin felt that it was safest with Count Stanwin. No matter what, Count Stanwin would make every effort to keep Merlin safe.
Reese let Merlin drag her away without explaining himself and felt that there was something wrong. Merlin used to be very elegant and would never have done such a rude thing.
“Leon, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that dealing with so many people here has made me tired.”
Merlin replied casually, but his pace grew faster. Even Reese noticed that Merlin was acting odd. Naturally, the strange man behind Merlin felt it even more.
“Did he discover me? Not good. I have to hurry!”
Victor took a deep breath. He saw that the people around him had already been deployed. It took them a long time to find this opportunity to get close to Leon. He always stayed in the manor so they could never approach him.
If they had missed this opportunity, they did not know how long they would have to wait for the next one. Therefore, even if it was hasty and there was a danger, they still had to take the risk.
“Now!”
Victor roared loudly. His body immediately rose as muscle rapidly expanded. The faint look of a wolf appeared on his face, making him seem extremely ferocious!
“A shifter?”
Some people shrieked and screamed. They only saw the figure of a shifter jumping up and lunging toward Leon.
Master Leon’s soul had changed and became Merlin who was forced into this new Latitude Cosmos. He originally had intended to stay as he did in Stedman’s body in the Void Zone, without affecting the self-awareness of the living being.
However, he had underestimated the natural order of this new Latitude Cosmos. Merlin’s Illusory World had collapsed, and once he had entered this world, he had already been targeted by the natural order of this world.
