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 .
