Chapter 257 Lost City (3)
, !
“Merlin.” From the boy’s mouth, a name unexpectedly spit out from the boy, “Merlin Ambrosius, like you, is a wizard.”
After speaking, he took another look at his current appearance and said, “Of course, now it’s just a living soul.”
Unieff couldn’t help but be suspicious. Although it wasn’t surprising to see anything in this apparently magical place, Merlin’s name still made him not so easy to believe.
“Merlin? King Arthur’s Merlin?” he asked.
“Merlin” said, “Exactly.” He looked at Unieff without changing his face, the light reflected in his amber pupils was as clear and ancient as amber.
“You must have doubts,” he said. “But before I do, I have to ask, how many years is it? As a soul, I slept for a long time.”
Unieff said a year.
“Has it been this long? Is Great Britain all right?” Merlin asked.
“If you mean King Arthur’s Great Britain .
Merlin didn’t seem surprised by this, didn’t sigh, just lost his mind.
After a while, he said: “Sorry, this state is very suitable for a daze, so I accidentally ignored that there were still people around.”
“What’s your current form?” Yunev had been concerned from the very beginning. This special form resembled a ghost rather than a ghost.
“Soul,” Merlin said.
“I don’t think it’s the same as the ghost?” Unieff asked.
“A ghost is a broken soul. There’s a price to pay for living in the world after death, which is to make a deal with the **** of death,” Merlin said, “and I’m whole now, because I can’t be called by the **** of death in this city. .”
“Sorry, I’m confused a lot? What is this city?” Unieff asked.
“Lost City,” Merlin said.
Next is another story. Because Merlin said it very carefully, Yunefu summed it up in his heart, as follows.
It turned out that this city was one of the main battlefields in the last wizard war that separated the moon from the earth, or, in other words, the magic fortress or magic fortress called “Olympus”.
In that war, the powerful wizards who can be called “gods” fell to the ground, and only this weapon city remained.
This city has the power of broken stars.
The reason why Merlin was here was actually an accident. In his later years, Vivian, one of the fairies in the lake, tricked him into being imprisoned in the oak tree. It was a fusion magic that turned Merlin’s body into a part of the oak tree and made it lose its magic power.
Originally, he probably died of old age, but an epiphany made him realize the secret of the soul leaving the body, so he got rid of the unsaved body and escaped.
And the body that lost the soul also died quickly, and Merlin’s soul became homeless.
“I wandered around for three days, and then I encountered death.” Merlin said, “I was sleeping in the dodo’s nest, and a tall, thin guy in a black cloak came over.”
The **** of death gave him two ways, to return to the world with him, or to pay the price to stay in the world.
The price is the demise of emotion and character. Simply put, the things you are best at will gradually become bad, and the things you are most fond of will gradually become numb.
“I ran away,” Merlin said. “Because it was the first time I saw Death, I wanted to see if Death could find me again if I hid.”
Then, the next day, Merlin was blowing bubbles in Naga’s cave, when the black-robed Grim Reaper walked in from outside the cave.
“You can’t escape,” said Death. “The moment I saw you, the rules were in effect.”
“I’m more concerned about how you found me.” Merlin asked.
He didn’t want to get the answer so easily, but Death said quite honestly: “Your soul is overflowing.”
In comprehensible terms, if a drop of red ink falls into water, it will automatically disperse. until nothing.
Merlin is very sensitive to realize that if the soul will naturally overflow, then it will repeat the work of the **** of death.
“You’re collecting souls?”
Death did not speak.
Merlin fled again.
Perhaps due to being imprisoned for years after being turned into an oak tree, after an epiphany, his soul seems to have an extremely flexible nature, not only able to pass through walls (which ordinary ghosts can do too), but also It can also live in other organisms.
Next, is a long-term hide-and-seek game between Merlin and Death.
“After the second time, He came with a scythe.” Merlin said, “But I can still run away, why should I run? Because I think it’s very interesting not to let others succeed, especially some powerful beings. .”
A witty smile appeared on Merlin’s face.
He found that living in a living creature could reduce the spillage of the soul, but it could not prevent it completely, and as time passed, the age of his soul gradually dwindled, from a bad old man with white hair and long beards like Dumbledore to A one-week-old quickly becomes young.
Going from a hundred years old to a twenties is a good change, but after that, it is not so good.
In the end, Merlin remembered the legendary lost city he heard from Vivian, and ran over to try it out. After some exploration, he found the place by soul-boarding and guiding the deep-sea octopus (through the illusion of making food).
“Yes, it’s that one, you’ve seen it before.” Merlin said, “Cthulhu is actually quite good, but when he’s older, he’s easily awakened, and his temper is inevitable. Besides, it’s also my alarm clock.”
“Because I was only six years old when I found this place.” Merlin said, “You know, children like to sleep best.”
Unieff accepted that, and Merlin’s experience made sense from a magical point of view.
In this way, Merlin is more friendly and peaceful than he imagined, and there is no air, perhaps because of his young age.
It’s the name he gave the octopus that sounds creepy~www.readmtl.com~ So, how do you get out of here? ‘ asked Unione.
“You just came and left?” Merlin asked.
“Something needs to be dealt with,” Unieff said.
Merlin tilted his head and thought for a while, “That’s right, people who are alive always have a lot of things, and it was the same when I was alive.”
“Is there anything you can do?” Eugene asked.
“The principle here is to only get in and not out. Although it is difficult to get in, it is basically impossible to get out. Otherwise, it cannot be isolated from the outside world.” Merlin said.
Unieff touched the key to the forest.
In this case, he can’t save Cruise.
He recognized his own heart, lived for ten years, and it was difficult for him to simply treat it as a virtual fragment.
