Kapitel 288: News from Afar

Merlin didn't know why he was roped into helping his student out with the farm and the kitchen renovations. He grumbled all night but Zero continued to ignore them. Merlin felt wronged. With Truen, he was scolded by Freya for putting too many unrealistic expectations on his student. Why was it that Zero took his 'unrealistic expectations' with so much ease? Were they perhaps not unrealistic after all?

"What's wrong?"

Merlin growled. "Somebody's infiltrating Arabesque through the air space instead of the portal..."
