The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 43 - AWAKE
The next morning they went on a journey to find a magician, and finally they came to the place where the witch healer was told by the old witch.
They met with a witch doctor.
They were given magic breakers in the form of incense, magic powder and some dried plant herbs, they were also told how to use these ingredients.
That same day they made their way back to the fort.
They arrived at the fort almost in the evening. Dumors were waiting for them in the courtyard of the fortress.
Eventually they perform a magic-breaking ritual taught by a witch healer, and Merlin must deliver magical incense to the General because the magic the witch woman gave him was a little stronger.
The general was still asleep because of the Merlin concoction sedative that Dumor had recently given him. Merlin lit the incense near the General's face, so that the smell of smoke was inhaled.
Later that night, the inhabitants of the castle fell into a deep sleep, as did Merlin and Denzu who were somewhat weary of their journey.
In the morning, the residents of the fort woke up with slightly dizzy heads, they seemed to wake up from being drunk, as well as the General who seemed to feel a little dizzy and like he was aware of something.
Breakfast as usual was neatly arranged at the long table, they were gathered there, but one that was unusual, Merlin was not in place.
Usually Merlin is always near the wooden table ready to serve the residents of the fort for breakfast.
The others asked Merlin for his whereabouts, especially the General.
The general who saw the presence of Dumor and his troops there, immediately hugged Dumor, he asked what happened, then Dumor explained everything.
Denzu, who was approaching the general, whispered as if saying something. The general's face turned shocked.
The general immediately stepped up a bit to run up the fortress, sure enough, he found Merlin alone, his arms resting on the walls of the fort, he stared at the houses and buildings below him, with beautiful silver hair scattered in the wind.
“ Merlin..” The general's soft voice shocked Merlin who immediately turned his head back.
“ Sir, why don't you eat?” Merlin asked.
“ You alone, not usually up here at breakfast “ General steps closer to Merlin.
The man held onto Merlin's shoulder, slowly flipping Merlin's body for the girl to look at him.
“ Merlin, I-is it true I've slapped you? “ The general looks at Merlin's face seriously.
“ Merlin, that was not me yesterday! Rest assured.., I will not hurt you.Even terbesitpun never to hurt you, Merlin, sorry-.”
Merlin hugged the general tightly. His head sank in the general's chest.
“ It's not your fault sir, I miss you like this.” Merlin's tears melt instantly.
The general hugged Merlin and kissed his head for a long time.
“ I will never hurt you.” The general repeated his words as if he was very sorry about him yesterday.
“ Merlin, marry me. If indeed your power will be lost I do not care, I just want to marry you as an ordinary human “.
Merlin who was still hugging the General suddenly took off his embrace.
“ Ah yes, I think we can marry master, but I hope you can be patient withholding not to touch me, I mean.in bed, until the war with Gozan ends, then my strength can still be had, I mean, how sir? ”
“ Can it be like that?, you said if Eldr married to other than Eldr then his power would be lost? “
“ Yes, I originally thought so master, but yesterday when I met the witch doctor I had a chance to ask that, and he told me that what removes the power of Eldr is actually when two couples do.emm.
Merlin looked timid, he touched his right index finger and left finger fused, detached and fused again, like a child.
The general looked at Merlin seriously.
“ Forward..” sahut General.
“ Well, you must understand sir, why should I explain.”.
It made the general laugh.
“ You're still like little Merlin, but that's what I love about you. Come eat, all waiting for you.” The general rubbed hard on Merlin's head, until the girl's hair was a bit messy, then the General went back down.
“ Master!, you have not even answered me.” merlin sighed who was still standing and left by the General down.
Below, all became rowdy when Merlin returned with them. Merlin smiled with relief at the state he missed, his friends had regained consciousness, evidenced by the noisy, crowded and rowdy atmosphere when the men ate at his desk.
