Early in the morning, the first ray of suns.h.i.+ne entered the room. Merlin slowly opened his eyes as his face showed a trace of exhaustion.

He got up, and took out a notebook from the drawer of the mahogany table. He gently opened it and drew some strange patterns on it with a feather pen.

"No, it's completely useless."

Merlin frowned. What he drew on the notebook were Spell Models, but they were improved Spell Models that did not need to absorb Elements. After all, there were no Elements in this world.

The main function of these models was to condense the power of the bloodline in Merlin's body, but unfortunately, the Deinosuchus bloodline in Merlin's body was too thin. Moreover, a new model had to involve the natural order of the Almighty Beast World to be effective and condense the bloodline.

Therefore, it was too challenging to create a training method suitable for the beings of this world in a short time.

Even if Aruba had arrived in person, it would take a very long time, not to mention Merlin. He could not create such a training method.

Merlin gently closed the notebook and closed his eyes. Deep in his sea of consciousness, the fragmented Illusory World was still floating.

However, the Illusory World at this moment had almost completely collapsed, leaving only a core of the most basic natural order.

Besides the natural order, there was also some Mind Power, but Mind Power was also based on the Illusory World. This body could not cultivate Mind Power, so this Mind Power would decrease with each use. They were extremely precious and could not be used unless as a final resort.

Therefore, apart from these two, Merlin did not have anything to protect himself with.

Merlin put the notebook in the drawer, and a beautiful maid entered from the door. As the only son of Count Stanwin and heir to the t.i.tle, there were naturally people who catered to his every need. There were many beautiful maids like this in the manor.

"Master Leon, the Count has called for you."

Merlin nodded. With the help of the maid, he got dressed and went out.

Soon, Merlin arrived downstairs and saw Count Stanwin sitting at the dining table. Apart from Count Stanwin, only "Leon" could sit at this table.

"Leon, how are you these days?"

Count Stanwin asked caringly upon seeing Merlin.

"Father, I'm almost completely recovered."

Merlin replied softly, and glanced at the kind-looking Count Stanwin. If he had not learned the news about Boulder City, how would Merlin have imagined that this kind-looking father in front of him had recently carried out a cruel purge in Boulder City?

Anyone who had anything to do with the Blackbat Militia was killed directly without question. This was the greatest authority the empire had granted to the lords and n.o.bles.

As long as it was within their territory, the lord could kill and seize. Of course, they could not oppose the Holy Dragon Empire, but all territory was managed by the lords and n.o.bles.

Therefore, some high-ranking lords were no less powerful than the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. However, the Holy Dragon Empire wielded the strongest authority, and was the largest lord of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Count Stanwin was considered a great lord with many cities under his jurisdiction and a very large territory. In a short period of ten days, he had already killed nearly a thousand people.

This seemingly murderous father who did not have a good reputation in Boulder City doted on Merlin very much. The most fundamental reason why Count Stanwin carried out the purge was because of Leon.

Leon was Count Stanwin's bottom line! Since the Blackbat Militia dared to lay their hands on Leon, Count Stanwin naturally would not be courteous to them. Therefore, although the killings were cruel, and many were mistakenly killed, some Blackbat Militia strongholds in Boulder City were completely uprooted. In Boulder City, there was no longer anyone related to the Blackbat Militia.

"Good, eat breakfast first. You can go out for a walk thereafter. It's relatively safe in Boulder City now. There are some new fossils in the Boulder City Fossil Museum. You can go and see them if you like."

Count Stanwin said casually but Merlin knew that the entire Boulder City had been cleaned. With so many people cleaned after such a long time, Boulder City was naturally very safe.

"Fossil Museum?"

Merlin carefully recalled his memory and found some information about the Fossil Museum. The bloodline of almighty beasts was inherited in the Almighty Beast World, so they paid a lot of attention to them.

For an unknown reason, the almighty beasts that once dominated the entire continent all disappeared and left fossils behind after deaths. These fossils were regarded as precious items and transported to major cities where they were open to the general public for free.

"Leon" liked to go to the Fossil Museum very much, and would go every time there was a new fossil. Count Stanwin had clearly arranged everything for Merlin.

To keep in character, Merlin could only nod and say, "I'll go after breakfast. I wonder what interesting things have been brought to the Fossil Museum this time."

Merlin looked excited, and Count Stanwin grew relieved.

"Halt, we're here!"

A group of heavy knights protected the carriage in the middle and stopped in front of a huge building. Merlin slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"Master, we'll go in and have a look first."

The captain of the heavy knights said softly to Merlin.

"Be quick about it. Don't disturb the people in the Fossil Museum."

Merlin was also somewhat helpless. Although Count Stanwin had cleaned up Boulder City and it was now very safe, he was still not at ease. Therefore, he had transferred a team of heavy knights to follow Merlin closely and protect him. Count Stanwin would not allow what happened in the manor the last time to occur again.

Soon, the captain left the Fossil Museum and nodded. "Master Leon, there are no problems. You can go in without worries."

Merlin stepped out of the carriage, and looked at the Fossil Museum that seemed to carry an air of vicissitudes. It seemed this entire Fossil Museum was filled with this air.

"You wait outside. Don't come in!"

Merlin ordered in a cold voice before entering alone.
