#658 - Chapter 29 Hidden Clues
When they stepped out of the door and into the courtyard, several Transformers were standing there, glaring at each other. Just then, the Transformers noticed their appearance.
Hot Rod seemed a little uneasy and slowly walked towards them. His once mighty and majestic body now revealed a hint of nervousness.
"Vivian..." Hot Rod said softly, "I hope my previous actions didn't scare you. You need to know that your father entrusted you to me before his death and instructed me to protect you well. From that moment on, I swore that I would guard you for the rest of my life, never leaving your side."
Vivian hesitated slightly upon hearing this. After all, she needed time to understand and accept that the car that had been with her for many years had suddenly become a Transformer. However, thinking that this was the last gift and instruction her father had left her, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, but I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. Since that's the case, let's go home."
Hearing Vivian's answer, Hot Rod immediately became excited. He instantly transformed into a cool Lamborghini sports car, and at the same time, the car doors automatically popped open, as if warmly welcoming its passengers.
"Please get in, my princess," Hot Rod said with anticipation.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yuan smiled slightly, then gently took Vivian's hand and led her into the Lamborghini. After getting into the car, Liu Yuan turned back and said to Ironhide, who was not far away, "Ironhide, there's nothing more for you to do here. Go back by yourself first."
"Yes, Master," Ironhide responded respectfully. Immediately afterward, it quickly transformed back into a Ford pickup truck, and with the roar of the engine, it left the castle directly.
At this time, in the attic of the castle, Edmond silently watched the departing vehicle. He stood there quietly, watching the car disappear at the end of the road, and Edmond sighed faintly.
"Master, why did you let them go so easily? This is completely different from the plan we made earlier," Cogman returned at some point, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
"Thank you!" Edmond smiled, reached out to take the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "That person is definitely not ordinary. We don't know what his purpose is. We have already exposed a lot of secrets today, and there is no need to let him know more hidden secrets."
Cogman frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and then showed his right leg. Five clear finger marks could be seen on it. "Indeed, that person's strength is simply beyond imagination, and it doesn't seem like something a human could possess."
Edmond was shocked to see this, "Cogman, you are a powerful leader and warrior, is there no way for you to deal with him?"
Cogman replied with a solemn expression, "To deal with him, I'm afraid I have to enter combined form to do it."
At the same time, Vivian's heart was surging on the way back. The mythical stories that originally only existed in legends have now come into reality. And what made her even more unbelievable was that she was actually a descendant of the great mage Merlin. Thinking of this, she turned to look at Liu Yuan, who seemed quite calm and composed beside her, and asked curiously, "Honey, facing such an amazing discovery, excavating the truth hidden behind history, aren't you excited at all?"
Liu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly, "Well, it's okay. After seeing so much, it's not surprising. You know, the ancestors of humans who have been able to reproduce to this day must have had extraordinary qualities, otherwise, how could their bloodline be passed down to this day?"
Vivian nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously, "Is this the cultural confidence from the Eastern country?"
Liu Yuan waved his hand and explained, "It's not entirely that. Actually, it's more because I know a lot about the Transformers. And I know a lot of Transformers, some of whom have existed for so long that it's unimaginable. It is said that the longest-lived one has lived for tens of millions of years!"
Hearing this, Vivian couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh~! In that case, I suddenly feel like I don't have anything to be particularly proud of." After saying that, she leaned back in her seat, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, as if she had suddenly remembered something important, she suddenly sat up straight and said anxiously, "I heard Count Folgen mention earlier that my father left clues about the Merlin staff in his studio. Some time ago, I donated many of his things to various universities. Do you think that the key clues might be hidden among those donated items?"
Liu Yuan comforted her, "Don't worry, I have already removed the items related to the Transformers from them. I think you have to take a good look at this." As he spoke, he handed over a photo.
Vivian gently picked up the photo and stared at it, as if time had frozen at this moment. She slowly said, "This is a photo of me and my dad when I was a child." Her words revealed a deep longing for the past.
Liu Yuan, who was standing beside her, smiled and looked at Vivian, and reminded her softly, "Turn the photo over and look at the back." Vivian turned the photo over as she was told, and on the back was a line: Vivian follows Merlin. The moment she saw this sentence, Vivian's thoughts surged like a tide, and she was swept into a warm and fantastic memory of her childhood.
At that time, she was still an innocent little girl, often nestled in her father's warm embrace, listening to him tell stories about Merlin. Merlin had magical powers and could freely wield the legendary staff. And her lovely aunt could do the same...
Suddenly, Vivian seemed to understand something, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Vivian follows Merlin, my childhood storybook! And my secret cabinet! Honey, we have to go home quickly." After saying that, she looked at Liu Yuan with anticipation.
Liu Yuan nodded without hesitation, then reached out and patted the dashboard, urging, "Did you hear that? Hot Rod, speed up a bit!"
Hot Rod responded hesitantly, "Is that okay? It'll be speeding."
Liu Yuan said nonchalantly, "Are you afraid of getting a ticket?"
Hot Rod sighed helplessly, so he could only do as he was told. So, the Lamborghini's engine let out a low roar. Then, with a loud "buzz", the car sped away like an arrow, instantly igniting the nitrous acceleration device.
