Chapter 556 (1/2)
”Really?” Merlin curled his lips, not believing what Alice said, obviously covering up, ”Isn't the mother's brilliance that you hug the child just now fake?
”One I haven't thought of adopting her, our situation is not suitable for adopting a child.” Alice frowned and explained in a very serious tone: ”It's just that now the child has amnesia and can't remember his biological parents. Can't just watch her fall outside.
”I plan to take care of this child temporarily, and send it back when she remembers who her biological parents are?
”Besides, I haven't been married before, and I was called my mother inexplicably, and I was helpless too!
”It's like: It's like being a single mother after being toyed with by a man with no conscience, it's too embarrassing (.δ_ 6)
Chapter 9: Dinner Invitation
”What if the child can't recover his memory?” Mei Lin asked with a blank expression.
”Then...then... Alice hesitated, obviously unable to say why.
”Then take care of it all the time.” Merlin helped Alice with the answer.
”...” Alice looked at Merlin in surprise, wondering if Merlin also wanted to adopt this child, then... wouldn't it be a family of three?
”You treat me as a fool?” Merlin narrowed his eyes and said seriously, ”Is there any difference between you and adoption? Are you bullying me for studying less?”
A drop of cold sweat dripped on Alice's forehead, and she said awkwardly, ”Then what do you want to do? Do you want to leave it alone, are you a devil?
”I was what I was.” Merlin spread his hands and said.
”Uh, I don't care, anyway, I won't leave this child casually. My conscience doesn't allow me to do this.” Alice said in an unquestionable tone, seemingly ready for adoption.
”Alice, please be realistic, please?” Merlin felt speechless at Alice's tough attitude, completely ignoring the situation. We are not in Britain now, but France. What is our mission?Haven't you forgotten?”
”Find Dracula, and kill it to relieve Arnold and his family's short-lived curse.” Alice remembered it clearly, and did not forget what she was here for.

”Yeah, this is our original task. Now it is not convenient for you to take this child. We will experience various dangers. Do you think we will have extra energy to take care of this child? No, aren't you harming her in disguise? Merlin tried to persuade Alice not to be so kind, and it was really troublesome to take a child around in a foreign country.
It's not that Merlin is too cold-blooded, but that after weighing the pros and cons, Merlin feels that it is better to leave this little girl alone for the time being.
If you really want to bring such a small child, who will take care of her?Alice?Then only oneself will complete the task.
”...Alice hesitated, and after thinking about it, she could only choose a compromise. ”Why do you help this girl find parents after completing the task?”I can't leave her cruelly anyway.
Merlin had given up on persuading Alice, it is estimated that this stinky lady has been conquered by the little girl's passion.
However, it is not impossible to complete the task first, and then help find the parents. It is better than carrying it along during the task.
”Then... where do you plan to host this child temporarily? Orphanage?
”The orphanage definitely won't work. The child has been abandoned and sent to the orphanage, he will definitely think about it.” Alice rejected the suggestion.
”Then I have to find someone to take her first...” Merlin rubbed his forehead, and couldn't think of a good way in a short time. There was no acquaintance in France except the old Akaron.

Just when the two of them couldn't pay attention, there were intensive footsteps under the fighting in the tavern, and there seemed to be many people listening to it.
Camilla’s subordinates came here with a group of private soldiers from the Earls Mansion. They were still thinking about finding out which room Merlin and Alice lived in, but when they went upstairs, they saw them standing and chatting in the corridor. .
Both Merlin and Alice were wearing adventurer's certificates around their necks, which could fully explain their identities.
So Camilla's men stepped forward, barely squeezing a smile on their pale face, saluted the two of them, and said very politely, ”You two are adventurers from Britain, right?
”Is there anything wrong?” Merlin looked at the man in front of him. He looked very thin and could turn three times when the wind blows.
Camilla's subordinates raised their heads, knowing Merlin's true identity, especially when being watched by those ruby-like eyes, there was a wave of fear in his heart.
Is this really the fearsome great devil?Doesn't seem to have the most vicious aura?It's almost like an ordinary human, but these eyes are full of deterrence. You can't see any emotions. How many people have been cut to have such cold eyes?
Camilla's subordinates lowered their heads, subconsciously avoided contact with Merlin's eyes, and even had an urge to stay away from danger.
”Hey, what do you want to say? What do you think?” Merlin frowned, having no affection for these uninvited guys.
”Ah, sorry sir, I'm distracted.” Camilla's subordinates quickly apologized, suppressing their nervousness and said, ”The lord of Avignon wants to invite the two to dinner, I wonder if the two of you can appreciate it. A narration from the Earls Mansion?”
”Look for us? Why?” Alice pointed to herself in surprise, now suspecting that there is something wrong with Count Camilla, she unexpectedly came uninvited and wanted to have dinner together?Don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd?
”Yes, it's the two sirs, why are you? You will know as soon as you go.” Camilla's subordinates responded politely.
Merlin and Alice looked at each other, and both felt very puzzled. They were looking for the trouble of the lord, but the lord came to the door.
The two came to one side, lowered their voices and whispered, deciding whether to go or not. It always feels like a feast for a grand feast. There will be no return. ”Merlin, why does the lord of Avignon come and invite us to dinner?” Alice quietly ask.
”I don't know, but isn't it very likely that the leader of the mercenary group ran to the earl's mansion for refuge? It might be about this matter.” Merlin looked at the group, all with weapons in his hands, at first glance It’s not like having a happy dinner together. If you refuse, 80% will use force. In fact, Merlin thinks a lot. So many people come together just to support the scene. The other party knows his identity as a demon, and has long given up on using him. The plan of force will not work.F Mu Xiaowan ”What the hell is this countess making? It just happened to come to the door at this time, is it because we moved her cake? Alice frowned.
”It's possible. This group of people are not good. It's better to be careful. The place where we are staying can be easily found. Obviously it was investigated secretly.” Merlin speculated that he could see that this group of people went straight to herself and Alice. Come.
