Chapter 12: The third part of the story
The victims of this disaster will definitely not want to sleep now, well, they should.
But the puzzling thing is that the little guy Merlin was like a puppy that didn't get any rest at all. He dozed off on the way back after a while. Of course, he dozed off in Sheldon's arms.
"But it's okay, now I can rest peacefully..." Sheldon thought about it again and found that he did do a lot of things while "falling asleep", although he didn't have anything on his body.
Although he was tired, he should also be mentally relaxed. The best sign that he should be relaxed was that his calves were still tight. When looking at other people around him, Sheldon found that there were many people like him.
, trembling with fear, with a tired look on his face, as if he was wary of someone who would suddenly rush out and kill him.
【In my name】
Sheldon opened his lips lightly and recited magic words in a low voice. The bright silver magic patterns that rotated up and down appeared in his eyes again. The magic trickle quickly flowed from his eyes, attached to his leather boots, and formed a pair of small wings.
.
Sheldon's feet were shaped like flying wings, and the gentle wind element magic wrapped around the two of them, bringing a bit of coolness to the two of them in the warm sunshine. His feet swung softly and quickly, surprising everyone in all directions.
And the envious eyes shuttled back and forth without stopping. There are not many people in Yaris who can use magic so skillfully. In the eyes of ordinary people, they can shout out the magic words that they have worked so hard to memorize, and then let themselves
It is already an amazing thing to release the magic power in the body.
This is the Flower Basket District, and Lilac Street is a small corner of this beautiful flower basket. It is inconspicuous, but it also exudes a faint fragrance in the inconspicuous place.
"But... I haven't been back for so long. I don't know if there is a layer of dust in my house. I need to clean it up." Merlin's body is still very weak. If he makes a mistake, what will happen to him?
I don't know how to cure diseases such as rhinitis. In Sheldon's eyes, his magic power is not omnipotent, and only the body's true self-healing can be considered a real cure.
But he didn't know that the child in his hands didn't seem to be as weak as before. Strictly speaking, Merlin's physical fitness had become very strong. In the eyes of his peers, he was even a few years older than him.
In the eyes of a child, the child in front of him is simply a monster. Don't look at his delicate skin and fragile long hair. In fact, each of them has been severely transformed by the nightmare. If you look closely, every corner inside has been carved.
Emblazoned with powerful magic patterns.
"Your body has been strengthened." Nightmare's slightly tired voice came from the sea of consciousness, "The next step is your business, don't avoid it, I am very lazy, and I will not care too much about the boring and boring relationships between you humans.
Another meaningless interaction.”
Marquez was still feeling a little depressed at the moment. He still couldn't get over the previous visual rape. In his eyes, everyone in front of him should not look like this...
"I said, you shouldn't be like this either." Merlin came over, knowing that something was wrong with the current situation, and poked Marquez's consciousness with his illusory tentacles, "Then... I'm wrong,
Okay? I didn’t help you clean up this mess in time..."
"No...I..." A whimper came from Marquez's consciousness, "I can't help..."
"Then hurry up and get on top!" Nightmare directly dragged Marquez's consciousness to the so-called "console". For some reason, he now has to shirk responsibility even for controlling his own body. "Do you want Xie
Is Don's son just lying there motionless?"
Merlin opened his eyes in reality, and the deep purple in his eyes quickly switched to bright gold. He raised his head, looked at Sheldon's smiling face, and then felt the comfortable breeze and sunshine around him, feeling unusually happy in his stomach.
The feeling of fullness made him realize that he seemed to have eaten something.
"Are you awake?" Sheldon saw Merlin open his eyes with a confused look on his face, and immediately smiled, "We will be home soon. Aunt Peiman has granted us two days of leave, so we can finally have a good rest.
Just a moment."
"Well..." The frown finally relaxed. Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and gently scratched Sheldon's solid chest, "I want to go on my own..."
The familiar Lilac Street welcomed their arrival with a bowl full of sunshine. The purple petals slipped from the street sign facing the sun, and finally turned into a handful of scattered light spots, drifting away in the wind.
.
They are finally back.
Sheldon flicked his wand and pried open the closed door with a bang. Amidst several rays of light as sharp as blades, the dust accumulated in the house quickly condensed under the wind element runes that fell on his boots, turning into
A hard black lump was thrown casually into the trash can inside the house.
"Come on, drink some water." Merlin seemed to be more energetic now. Sheldon almost forgot to let the child drink medicine to curb the growth of nightmares in his body. In his opinion, it would be good to learn some pharmacology.
After that, you can buy some books to read and decorate this empty home.
The medicines distributed by the Merlin Holy Land are basically colorless and odorless. According to Cheney himself, this medicine is harmless to humans. The sunflower in it will inhibit the growth of nightmares, but it will have a negative impact on human health.
It will have a physical strengthening effect...
Merlin took the cup, said nothing, and drank the cup of medicine silently. As the nightmare's magic power gradually merged with his body, it became useless now. The cup of water was a bit sweet, which was exactly Merlin's preference.
Merlin is not sleepy at all now, but he feels bored. There is nothing at home. It was okay before he grew up, and he had no problem sleeping every day. At that time, his body was not as full of energy as it is now. Now, there is nothing he can do about it.
Done. But Merlin thought that Sheldon had also gone through this, would it be too much to ask him to go out again?
"Dad, can you finish the story you didn't finish last time?" Sheldon was just about to take out his notebook to record recent events when Merlin finally dug out his previous memories so that he wouldn't be so bored.
.
"Okay... okay..." Sheldon found that Merlin was not as tired as before, so he had no reason not to take care of the child. "This is the story of Merlin's five lies, right? Part 1
Where did you end up telling the first lie? Did you just finish telling the second lie?"
That is to say, it talks about how Merlin deceived the "now". Of course, the present is only a relative concept. The present at that time seemed to us to be the past. In order to achieve his own goals, Merlin greatly tampered with people's memories and the deepest feelings in their hearts.
The deepest part induces new people to join the Merlin Cult. Since it will not cause turbulence in time and space, Merlin at that time took a big step and felt reassured.
At that time, people did not have a deep understanding of the Merlin Religion, but Merlin was not worried about this, because his current purpose was not to make people realize how profound his thoughts were, and he did not think that his
How profound the idea is, because the essence of everything is to pursue what the mark of Didamo is.
In fact, even if almost no one could understand the teachings of the Merlin Religion at that time, it would always be interpreted into various versions at the time. Merlin did not need to worry about this matter at all.
But all this has its limits. Merlin did not realize that he had affected the foreshadowing he had set before and seriously distorted the original cause and effect. The Merlin Sect, which should not have existed in the first place, actually acted in an unexplained way.
The method has been carried forward... The time bomb will always explode, but it does not mean that it will never explode after being buried. In the process, Merlin found that his body would have painful and painful interactions with space from time to time.
The brief mingling also gave birth to the last lie he could think of, to deceive the future. Time is really running out. Everyone will die, but whether death is valuable and whether it can bring anything to people is what Merlin is thinking about.
things.
But Merlin has no way to go to the future, even if he has the ability, there is no way to go to the future. The abilities given to him by the World Tree do not include these. He worked hard to turn Merlin into a noun, that is to say, into a inheritance. If so,
Maybe he can change everything in the future. The pursuit of this matter has become his obsession. He has no way to contain his weakening body, and he has no way to repair his broken soul. He has nothing left.
He had no strength to go on. For him personally, what he could do was limited, but he had the Merlin Cult, and he relied on his own strength and time to conduct an evasive confrontation, which could also achieve his goal in disguise.
"This may be the beginning of the current Merlin Cult. Of course, we can only listen to it as a legend." Sheldon tapped the tip of the magic pen and made a clicking sound on the table, "But we need to know,
Only we, the Merlin Cult, care about the deepest mark in the human soul, haha."
This may be the origin of Merlinism.
"Then what happened to Merlin in the end? Didn't he say that changing time requires five lies?"
"Of course it's impossible for all of this to go as he wished. Before he came up with the fifth lie, he fell into the turmoil of time due to excessive deviation of his own cause and effect. I have no way of knowing the rest, because
I don’t know what it feels like to be trapped in the turbulence of time.”
But for some reason, his results were retained in the end.
"By the way, I don't think I told you about Didamo's mark." Sheldon smiled, "That was my oversight, I'm sorry."
Sheldon gently touched Merlin's chest with his left hand, and touched his heart with his right hand, and then said: "If you feel it carefully, you will feel it."
Marquez looked into his sea of consciousness and saw a shining mark with colorful rune chains hovering over it, shining silently and flying around, binding the origins of the two souls to it.
"..." Merlin's eyes regained their brightness, "That is the mark that only belongs to 'Didamo' itself."
