Chapter 23 Merlin
The familiar feeling and the glory that still made him unable to see anything clearly. After everything calmed down, Ethan swept around immediately, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
There was no heavy surround - this was the first time. I remembered the first two shuttles, and every time I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by a group of people. In the dark world, a group of Rogers even set off a bow and arrow, and the posture of shooting him into a hornet's nest if the situation was wrong, leaving him with a huge "shadow".
The landing location chosen by this shuttle magic circle seems to be quite unreliable every time - but if you think about it in another direction, it seems to be quite reliable to throw it in the safe area every time.
"Don't be nervous, the mage from other planes."
As soon as I relaxed a little, a sound came from behind me.
Ethan, who was shocked, immediately turned around and looked at the ordinary and steep mountain wall. The sound came from here, but there was no one in front of him.
"Is this...illusion?"
Concentrating the mental power and strengthening his senses, Ethan noticed a sense of incongruity. He could not release his mental power out of it, so that he could detect more things. Now he could only detect something wrong. If he wanted to find something wrong, he needed other additional means.
However, the other party seemed to have no intention of hiding himself. With a wave of water-like turbulence, the originally steep bare mountain wall disappeared, revealing a non-short path.
At the same time, an old man with a white beard dressed like the one I remembered, walked out with a long stick and a blonde boy.
"Hello, guests from other worlds."
The old mage spoke very slowly, and his gentle voice seemed to indicate that he had no malice, but simply showed his hospitality - if he did not have the prerequisite of casting the bottomless magic fluctuations like the sea without any hidden danger.
"Please don't get me wrong. As a mage, you should know that sometimes you have to do this to have a good conversation."
The old mage quickly put away his terrifying magic fluctuations and still spoke in that kind tone.
"And, I just used too much force to communicate with you in order to break through the blockade of huge energy."
Only then did Ethan realize that he could hear the other person's words not because he could understand, but because he used his mental power to communicate with him.
"Don't let me do it!"
Although he knew that he was still weak, he was still very unhappy when he was linked to himself by a powerful mage like he was visiting the back garden. It seemed that he had to create something to prevent these mages from linking their spirits without even saying hello.
"Well, young man, it's worth it that you're angry about it, but I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it."
The old mage in front of him seemed to be a good person with excellent moral qualities. He apologized immediately and was willing to make compensation.
"For example, help you create an amulet that can defend against mental attacks? How about it?"
Ethan was stunned: "Can you read my thoughts?"
"Oh, no! I just think that this is what you want most at this time." The old mage showed his wisdom without any concealment, and a little sharpness was also revealed in his eyes full of kindness and kindness.
Ethan thought about it and decided not to worry about compensation. The old mage seemed to regard making such a talisman as a very simple thing in his words. It can be seen that he is very confident in his ability to make magic equipment. Now Ethan does not urgently need such a defensive prop - in fact, as his mental power increases, as long as he does not encounter an existence that absolutely crushes him, the other party cannot invade successfully with his mental power.
As for those who can successfully invade without any awareness, it proves that the strength gap between the two people is so amazing that the other party can erase themselves from this world at will. It doesn’t make sense if the other party is hostile and has such a talisman.
"So, what should I call you?"
When the old mage saw Ethan expressing his willingness to communicate, he nodded happily: "My name is Merlin, just call me by my name."
“Merlin…”
Ethan frowned. It was not that he didn't know who Merlin was, and he was also a powerful mage. His identity was obvious. He was just thinking about which Merlin this was? As a famous legendary magician in the West, there were many works that he appeared on, and there were even more works in which, although he did not appear directly, he indirectly mentioned the magician.
"Not a bad man with white hair... one possibility can be ruled out."
"The long staff on the hand is not like a metal mechanical product, and one can be ruled out."
After scratching his head, he found that there were so many works he knew that he could not count, and it was impossible to eliminate them one by one.
His reaction made Merlin on the opposite side very curious.
"Young man, have you heard of my name or have you seen me in other planes?"
Ethan was a little surprised by Merlin's inquiry, but he quickly figured it out - from the beginning, Merlin broke the fact that he came from other planes, which shows that this great magician had a certain understanding of the concept of multiverse, and might even know more than he knew.
"Wait..." Ethan suddenly thought of a possibility: "My teleportation array will send me here, can't it be your fault?"
Meilin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect you to think about it so soon. I didn't mean to hide it. In fact, even if you didn't notice it, I will mention this later."
Ethan's face was dark. The last time he was caught by Gu Yi, it was because he was intercepted by the supreme mage who protected the earth from invading other planes when he was traveling into the Marvel Universe. At that time, he knew that some powerful beings could interfere with his teleportation.
I didn't expect to meet another person so soon. In this way, I would never dare to use the magic array to shuttle through the plane in the future. Do you know if you would meet a guy who killed him without saying a word?
"Or, I can teach you how to better control that huge energy, not to make it as conspicuous as the moon in the dark night sky, so as to avoid being noticed by other wizards next time you teleport?"
Merlin quickly raised the conditions that Ethan could not refuse, and this was the problem he was eager to solve.
"I do want to solve this problem." Ethan nodded and admitted this, but he didn't want to be led by Merlin by the nose: "So, what do you want to bring me here? The great Master Merlin."
Merlin deliberately intercepted him and changed the teleportation location to his own, which must have had some intentions. If he suspected that this famous mage was a plane guardian like Ancient One at the beginning, Ethan denied it when he offered benefits again and again.
"This guy has some intentions for me."
He couldn't understand what he had in the eyes of this legendary super powerhouse? The only thing that was eye-catching was the ability to travel planes, right? However, it was revealed in the previous words that Merlin didn't seem interested in this ability - otherwise why would he suggest that Ethan better master the energy of time and space?
"Let's talk about it a little bit differently. Should we always stand here?"
"It should indeed be a different place."
"So, please come with me, young man."
Merlin greeted him and turned back first. Ethan followed him into the path hidden by magic. When he saw that it was the location of the mountain wall before, Ethan felt that he had passed through a very powerful magic wall. It felt similar to passing through a water curtain. However, under the erosion of magic, he would not only not feel wet and embarrassed, but also had some benefits: the spirit consumed from the previous shuttle seemed to have recovered a little.
The road was not long, just after walking for a while, the narrow path suddenly became clear, and under the leadership of Merlin, Ethan came to a very beautiful valley.
Various flowers and trees filled every inch of the valley, and countless blooming flowers filled the valley with the fragrance of flowers. The spirit was shocked again, and Ethan immediately noticed the extraordinaryness of these flowers and plants.
"A fairyland on earth!"
Merlin seemed to be waiting for this praise on purpose.
“This is where I live.”
The only man-made thing in the valley is a house that looks very ordinary, which looks like a very ordinary three-story building from the outside. But when Ethan stepped into it, the huge space made him realize that this house is definitely not as simple as his appearance.
Several people did not stop and walked into a room under Merlin's leadership - this was a reception room. Ethan also saw that some fruit had been placed on the table.
"Please sit down!"
Merlin sat down first, and then continued to talk after Ethan sat down opposite him.
"I originally wanted to communicate with you for a while before telling you my purpose, but it seems that you don't like this method, so there is no need for me to hide it." Merlin was about to talk to the blonde boy beside him, but suddenly remembered something: "Oh, sorry, I might be offended before this."
Merlin pointed his finger on his forehead: "There will not be any side effects, but I will feel a little swollen and numb, or a little slight headache."
Before he finished speaking, he pointed his fingers on his forehead slowly at Ethan. A stream of light first flowed from Merlin's forehead to his fingers, and followed the old mage's movements and rushed into Ethan's head.
His body stiffened, and Ethan, who was about to get up, stopped again. He had realized what magic Merlin had used just now - he "packed" some of the language knowledge in his mind, and then "transmitted" it to Ethan, so that he could master another foreign language in the shortest time.
"Hello, my name is Arthur." At Merlin's gesture, the blonde boy stood up and introduced himself in the language that Ethan had just 'learn'.
