"Uh"
The sharp blade touched Merlin's neck.
That's not an ordinary blade. On the surface of the blade, light like a wave of water is flowing, which makes the knife sharper.
Merlin could feel that as long as the undersea man moved his wrist, his neck would be completely cut open. Judging from the light beating from the other hand of this undersea man, even if he turned into a black mist, this undersea man could find a way to kill him here.
But the more so, Merlin's inner guess about Queen Atlana's fate became more and more certain.
Arthur's mother, Tom's lover, has really died deep in the sea...
What they are waiting for is just a hope that will never come.
"You! How did you know!"
The dark-eyed underwater man's green eyes shone undisguised murderous intention. He looked at Merlin and asked sharply:
"Who told you that?"
Merlin should be terrified.
After all, Xiaoming is in the hands of others.
But he didn't.
I don't know whether it was the result of the dark magic transformation, or the fact that the devil's contract was fully recognized, which inspired Merlin's stubbornness. In short, at this moment, he was very calm, as if ignoring the blade of the torrent on his neck.
He looked at the underwater man in front of him and whispered:
"You told me."
He pointed to his eyes.
"These eyes can see the nuances, this is probably the best thing for me from this cursed contract. You are really strong, I cannot see your soul, but you are still life, you are still There are emotions... just now, when you mentioned Queen Atlanta, the sadness in your eyes cannot deceive people."
"Other people can't see it, but they can't hide it from me. I'm actually guessing, but your excessive behavior has verified my guess."
Merlin took a deep breath. He raised his hands and looked at the undersea people. He said:
"I don’t want to cause trouble, and I don’t want Arthur to lose my last hope. I know that you can kill me if you start, I’m weak, that’s right. But the devil said, my soul is very strange, he said , My life is destined to be a legend... instead of killing me here, it is better to give me a chance."
"It is very difficult to protect the secrets alone, friends under the sea, maybe, you should find yourself a helper."
The underwater man in front of him saw his hand loose, but there was still only a slight contempt in his eyes.
He looked at Merlin, he said:
"It's up to you? Atlantis can easily kill you by sending a warrior. You say you will become a legend, but sorry, I can't see it now."
"Then let's talk about this issue from another angle."
Merlin crooked his head and moved his neck away from the chilling sharp edge. His mind was running wildly. Another breakthrough was formed in his mind. He looked at the undersea people and said:
"Let me guess, you have been emphasizing how noble Arthur's identity is as a prince of Atlantis. But judging from my shallow historical knowledge, I don't know which civilization will let his prince leave the country. , Growing up under the cultivation of ordinary people, so, can I think...you don’t want Arthur to go back, but you can’t let Arthur go back?"
"There is no reason to prevent you from taking your prince back to Atlantis, because he will be in danger."
"If Atlantis is really as powerful as you said, what danger will endanger a noble prince?"
Merlin narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his fingers, carefully pressed against the running water blade, and pushed the blade outward. He said:
"Your king has enough reasons not to like him because he is not his own son..."
"But a country cannot be without inheritance, especially a feudal kingdom like yours. Your king does not seem to be worried about having no heirs, that is, the king has at least another son. And that one is blamed by your country. Everyone knows that he should be Arthur’s younger brother and the king of Atlantis, right?"
"Uh"
The knife in the hand of the undersea man retracted the scabbard, and he stared at Merlin. After a while, he spit out a name:
"Aum, the real prince. You're right, terrestrial people, really wonderful reasoning...Your wisdom may be worth your life. But wisdom is not enough, you need reason."
"Yes, Atlanta was thrown into the of the trench ditch by the tyrant of Ovax after giving birth to Aum. She is my best friend! I watched her walk into hell, Before she sacrificed, she asked me to protect Arthur...so I came."
The pain in the eyes of this undersea person is undisguised.
Merlin speculates that this man's feelings for Queen Atlanta should not be merely friendship.
Maybe there was a touch of love, but he didn’t break the secret sanely.
"You can live with this secret."
The underwater man looked at Merlin. He thought for a moment and shook his head:
"But regarding your invitation, I'm sorry...you are too weak, I can't pin Arthur's safety on you, and wait until you are strong enough to talk about it. As for your doom, I can help you, but I I'm not sure."
The undersea man said frankly to Merlin:
"Atlantis people are good at water magic. The environment we live in has made us abandon the use of other magics long ago, and everything related to demons is related to disgusting black magic. I can only To help you purify the dark magic of your body, as to how to completely eliminate or assimilate them, you have to find another way."
"Your humanity's magical heritage has not been cut off. Find human wizards. They may have some solutions."
"that's enough!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Merlin's eyes.
He did not expect that things would go so smoothly. He never greedily wanted to solve all the problems at once. The coercion of the third house demon still affects Merlin. The violent force that can destroy everything is definitely not alone.
The Phantom Moker also clearly stated that the Sannomiya is the most powerful handful of all demons. To solve the power left by it, Merlin may need to spend all his life to find a way.
But as long as this headache-ridden doom can be lifted, Merlin can really embark on the road of finding hope. This is just the starting point, but it is the most important link.
"what should I do?"
Merlin looked at the sun and the sand around him. Because of the sunlight, his skin even showed signs of burns. He looked at the people on the seabed. He asked:
"Is there anything I need to prepare?"
"No! You stand here, don't move! I want to see if your soul is still intact."
The fingers of the undersea man were moving, and a stream of water visible to the naked eye was beating in his palm.
He said to Merlin seriously:
"You'd better pray that your soul is still intact. This is a very important prerequisite. Once the devil's power begins to infiltrate your soul, even the most powerful magician in Nirau can't purify you."
"What does that mean? If the soul breaks?"
Merlin asked.
The undersea man pointed his finger at Merlin's forehead, and he answered softly:
"That means that you will be transformed from a human being to a demon. When the power of the demon completely assimilates you, you will disappear. A semi-devil will also be born, which is the most sad... etc. Wait! Why is your soul... so weird?"
The always calm undersea man looked surprised at this moment. He lowered his finger and looked at Merlin, just like looking at a monster. After a few minutes, he said:
"Do you know that your soul is double-layered."
"what?"
Rao Shimeilin has experienced so many things, and after hearing what the undersea people say, he is also stunned.
Double-layer soul, what's going on?
"It's like a dragon fruit."
The undersea people use the things he is familiar with, but Merlin has never heard of them as examples, explaining:
"One layer is the shell and one layer is the nuts. The two layers are not connected to each other, but the two souls are you, sharing memories and emotions, the devil's contract does tear your soul, but only the tear The outer one."
"It's also because the outer shell of the soul is torn that the inner soul can really wake up... No wonder the magical reaction on you is so strange."
The undersea person said to Merlin:
"That devil's contract manifested both true and false results in you at the same time, leading you to an indescribable state."
"The power of the devil stays in your soul, but it is limited to the contract, but it can't hurt you. Even it will actively protect you... because the contract is actually established, it protects you, it is to protect its own host."
"Then what is my doom?"
These magical terms spoken by the undersea man heard Merlin's head grow big. He looked at the undersea man, and he went straight to the subject and asked:
"If that power is to protect me, why do I still emit those black smoke outwards? In addition, I have never asked an important question, that is, what is your name? I can't always call you by the people under the sea Right? Don’t you always call me a terrestrial man. Listen strange, my name is Merlin! Merlin Riley."
"Okay, my name is Vico. The chief servant of the royal family of Atlantis, the personal counsellor of Queen Atlanta, and her best friend."
The undersea man put his hand on his chest and made a weird gesture. He explained to Merlin:
"The black smoke you said is not a manifestation of doom."
"Merlin, your knowledge of magic is too shallow. The power of doom cannot be observed. There have been too many magicians throughout the ages trying to master the power of doom and luck, but no one has succeeded. That is not the power we should be coveting. ."
"As for the black smoke you see, it's just the trajectory caused by the loss of dark magic in your body... even the doom you think is not the doom itself."
Vico said to Merlin with a simple description:
"For example, if you accidentally fall, it may be that the dark magic in your body has distorted your vision, or that the corrosive magic has damaged the ground. The same is true if you are hit by a falling stone. , Magic is very mysterious, especially the uncontrolled flow of energy, often manifested in a misunderstood form."
"You are not doomed. Of course, your own luck will definitely not be too good. The luck of meeting people who are demons is far from good."
"You are a source of black magic power. The bad luck you say destroys everything around you. That is actually the erosion of dark magic on the things around you."
"Is that right?"
Merlin nodded clearly, but another question came to his mind again, he said to Vico:
"What about the boundary between 2 hours and 6 hours? Why is the time so accurate?"
"Because your inner soul is merging the torn soul fragments from the outside!"
Vico narrowed his eyes and said to Merlin:
"Imagine a weak and newborn soul feeding on fragments of soul mixed with dark magic. This process does not happen all the time, it is tied to your physical activity, only you are in the most relaxed In the gesture, the speed of soul swallowing will increase."
"And every piece of soul is swallowed, the dark magic in it will explode outwards, forming what you call a catastrophe... and this time is exactly 2-6 hours."
"Do you understand what I mean? As long as you keep moving, the soul will not devour, but as long as you stop, the soul will start to grow itself spontaneously. It will take most of the dark magic in your torn soul Exclude it, but it will also make your new soul irresistible into the darkness..."
Vico frowned, and this was also the first time he had encountered such a special situation with Merlin, and he could only make guesses as perfect as possible.
"This process is good or bad, but it must be completed... otherwise your soul cannot be truly complete."
"So what should I do?"
Merlin asked again:
"You mean, as long as the two layers of souls are merged, this doomed disaster will be completely eliminated, right?"
"not only."
Vico nodded, and he said to Merlin in a complex tone:
"Once the fusion is completed, your soul will reach twice the strength of ordinary terrestrial people. In terms of soul capacity, it can even directly match some powerful magicians of asceticism, and this is just the beginning, by the standard of terrestrial people. Look, you are still very young, and as you grow older, your soul will grow stronger..."
"The growth of the soul means a steady increase in mental power, which means that the magic power that can be accommodated in your body will increase exponentially. And the large capacity of the soul means that you can complete many precision operations that the magician cannot complete, I don’t know. How did this form of soul form, but there is no doubt that the demon helped you."
The underwater man made a knocking action, he said:
"It smashed the shell, let your soul embark on the road of growth in advance, and left pure dark magic in your body, just like a gift, as long as you find the right way to open this magic Treasure."
"Are you sure, this is something you accidentally encountered?"
Veken asked in doubt:
"It doesn't look like a coincidence...it seems to be arranged in advance."
Vico's doubts made the intermittent line in Merlin's heart completely complemented at this moment.
Sannomiya, Phantom Mock, and even the bell that popped up in Chicago, and even Vico in front of me... all this sudden, so coincidental.
Merlin raised his head subconsciously, looking at the sky above him, where there was nothing, but at this moment, Merlin felt a creep, as if...it seemed that there were eyes watching him, hands, pushing him.
Everything is connected...but in the worst way
That is...
Fate?
—
At the same time, in another place, the gangsters who watched all this were whispering.
"Yeah, voila, he noticed a trace of fur, and he was trying to see us. It's such an unflattering guy."
"But he can't get an overview of the whole situation, nor can he change the path in front of him. The power of the dice of fate is superimposed, so many factors, so much power, he can only finally fall into it, and he can't be detached."
"But speaking of it, the "demon" thrown down by the overlord came here, and it has been cracked by the "lucky" thrown by the death. The first round of the confrontation is about to end. I still hope to see the result... he is in the end What path will it take?"
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Look at the records of Dream God, not even one-twentieth, just look at it quietly."
"Oh, all roads will eventually lead to darkness...I have seen through the results, I have..."
"Shut up and watch the drama with peace of mind! Restless Barbatos, you play the magic stick again, be careful we unite and beat you again!"
Er, the daily lives of the big brothers are really colorful.
