"Wow, Grandpa Merlin, this place is so prosperous, it's not like our place at all.”Arthur looked at the bustling Imperial City and said to Merlin, who was behind him.
"Yes, yes, yes. Arthur, look at how old Grandpa Merlin is. Let's find a place for Grandpa Merlin to rest first.”Merlin panted as he followed behind Arthur. His face was covered in sweat because he had exhausted too much energy to follow Arthur closely.
"Mm, alright. Grandpa Merlin, where should we go to rest now?”Arthur stopped in his tracks and looked at Merlin in confusion.
"Arthur, don't worry. Grandpa Merlin is very famous. As long as you find a place and say Grandpa's name, you'll be welcomed.”Merlin puffed out his chest in front of Arthur.
"Really?" Arthur looked at Merlin suspiciously. Merlin and Arthur had lived together for sixteen years, but he had never seen anything special about Merlin. He did not even receive any special treatment in Sir Eckart's territory, let alone this bustling Imperial City.
"Hmm, Arthur has underestimated your Grandpa Merlin. Let me tell you, little Arthur, Grandpa Merlin was once a Sage.”Merlin's expression changed because of Arthur's questioning.
"Oh, alright, Grandpa Merlin, let me take a look.”Seeing Merlin's expression, Arthur quickly put away his suspicious look.
"Alright, Arthur, just watch Grandpa Merlin.”Merlin was always like an old child in front of Arthur.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Merlin is the best.”Although Arthur had a look of admiration for Merlin on his face, he was thinking in his heart that he should not attack Grandpa Merlin anymore.
Then, a strange scene appeared in the capital today.
"Hello, I'm Merlin." Dressed in a long robe, Merlin came to an inn and spoke to the owner at the counter.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Merlin. Do you need any help?”Lagren warmly welcomed Merlin.
"Yes, we didn't bring any money with us today. We need to rest here for a while.”Merlin said peacefully.
"No money? If you don't have money, why are you here? Get lost and don't disturb my business.”When the boss heard that Merlin had no money, he immediately told Merlin to scram.
"I am Merlin, Sage Merlin." Merlin thought that the other party did not hear his name clearly as he repeatedly said to the boss.
"Get lost, don't disturb my business. I don't care if you're Merlin or something else. If you don't leave, I'll have someone kick you out. You're not Ms. Nero, you don't have money and you want to stay here for free.”Lagren looked at Merlin unhappily.
"Kacha." Arthur, who was covering his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, heard a crack.
"Grandpa Merlin, let's go. Maybe this boss isn't originally from the Imperial City, but moved here from outside.”Arthur saw Merlin's petrified expression and walked over to pull Merlin's sleeve.
"Yes, Arthur, that's right, it must be like this. Let's go, Grandpa Merlin will take you somewhere else.”Merlin did not realize that Arthur was just trying to give Merlin a way out. He thought that the owner of this inn did not know his name.
"Ah, Grandpa Merlin." Arthur exclaimed. She did not expect Merlin to not give up and continue looking for the next shop.
After that.
"Hello, I'm Merlin." Merlin was still looking at the innkeeper gently.
"Oh, hello, hello, Mr. Merlin.”The boss quickly responded to Merlin's greeting.
"Yes, boss, I'm penniless now. Can you let me rest here for a while?”Merlin smiled at the innkeeper.
"Get lost. You don't have money and you still want to stay in a hotel." The boss's expression immediately changed.
"Kacha." Arthur heard another cracking sound.
"Grandpa Merlin, let's go. We should look for Kel. Kel should be rich.”Arthur held back his laughter as he walked to Merlin and pulled him out.
"No, it must be that this boss didn't originally live in this capital. It must be like this.”Merlin did not give up and wanted to continue searching.
"Hello, I'm Merlin."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Merlin."
"I don't have money now..."
"No money? What are you going to do if you don't have money? Get lost…"
Just like that, this scene kept repeating. Before Merlin reached a hotel, he would reveal his name to the owner, and then tell the owner the truth that he had no money under his warm welcome. Then, he would run out of the hotel dejectedly under the owner's fierce gaze and words.
"Pfft, hahaha, Grandpa Merlin, let's go find Kel.”Arthur could not help but laugh when he saw that Merlin's old face was almost torn to death.
"Arthur, you shouldn't laugh at an old man like that.”Arthur laughed so hard that he almost felt ashamed. He could only put on the appearance of an elder and teach Arthur a lesson.
"Yes, yes, I won't laugh anymore. Grandpa Merlin, should we go find Kel now?”Arthur asked Merlin, trying hard not to laugh.
"Hmm, it seems that I haven't returned to the capital for too long, so the people here don't recognize me. Now, I can only go find that stinky kid Kel.”After Merlin found an excuse for himself, he could only helplessly prepare to find Kel to beat up the tycoon.
"Oh, isn't this Merlin? Why was he so down and out that he had nowhere to stay?”A frivolous voice sounded.
Merlin and Arthur looked in the direction of the voice. It was a young man dressed in a black military uniform. The young man looked to be less than twenty years old, but since he knew Merlin, they could not simply look at this young man.
"Oh, young man, you know me.”Merlin looked at the young man in front of him warily. Most of the innkeepers at the inn did not recognize him, but this young man in front of him could recognize him. Merlin could not help but let his guard down.
"Eh, there really is someone who knows Grandpa Merlin?”Arthur, on the other hand, did not care about the person who had just appeared. Instead, he asked curiously.
When the young man saw Arthur, his expression changed drastically. Nostalgia, love, self-blame, regret, all of them turned into a sigh.
"Nero, no, you are not Nero. You just look like Nero.”The young man muttered to himself. That's right, the person who appeared before Merlin and Arthur was Nongyue who used the alias Nero. As for why Merlin did not recognize Nongyue, it was because Nongyue always wore a hood in front of others. No one had seen Nongyue's true appearance.
