Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Flower Mage's Contract
To say that Merlin is a monster is not wrong in a sense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Merlin is not a simple human, he is a hybrid born after the combination of humans and nightmares, and has the blood of humans and nightmares in his body, although there are not many records about nightmares, only that it is a kind of monster that lives in human dreams, and has powerful magical powers, and can rely on human nightmares to obtain powerful power.
It's just that how the nightmare will unite with humans is something that is unknown.
The nightmare bloodline in Merlin's body gives him powerful magical powers, making him a powerful magician, no... Since he himself doesn't know how to do magic, he should be called a magician instead.
It is precisely because he is a half-breed existence that he has clairvoyance that can predict the future, which is also one of his most powerful places.
So it's not wrong to say that Merlin is a monster.
The great magician in front of you... No, it should be the Great Magician who accepted all this calmly.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but I think we can put the question aside for now, who is going to summon me out? How about we sign the contract first? Otherwise, even with my ability, it will be difficult to survive here for long. Merlin looked at Messeri and then at Miria crouching in the corner, apparently he saw that Rowe had made a pact with Mordred, so he didn't look at him.
"Wait a minute, can you tell me how you ended up here? And you say you don't know magic, so how did you get here? Is it magic? "Rowe stood in front of Merlin, and until he was sure if Merlin was a threat, he must not let him easily sign a contract with Miria or Messery.
If Merlin doesn't know magic, but still has the capital to be called a great magician, then Luo Wei can only think that he can do magic.
Although magic is only one word different from magic, it is very different in nature.
Magic can only achieve what a person can achieve, and magic itself only simplifies the process, or is a special application; Magic, on the other hand, can do things that humans can't, and that's the essential difference.
"Oh, you're still very vigilant, could it be that the two young ladies are your girlfriends? I can understand that. Instead of answering Rowe's question head-on, he took a frivolous approach to change the subject.
As soon as these words came out, Messery's face next to her turned a little red, and Miria got up from the corner of the wall, walked over and pointed at Merlin's nose and said, "Who is his girlfriend, the guy who forgot to even confess." ”
As soon as Miria said this, Rovi realized that he seemed to have forgotten about it, and scratched his head a little bewildered.
"Well, how about this young lady sign a contract with me? If you want to punish him, I have a lot of ideas here. With that, Merlin began to persuade Miria to sign a contract with her, like a demon tempting humans to sacrifice their souls.
Luo Wei hurriedly stood in front of Miria and said, "Stop! You answer my question first, how did you get here? ”
"This question can only be answered after I sign the contract, you see." Merlin raised his hand as he spoke, his fingertips glowing pink, and his flesh gradually disintegrating into photons, which Rowe had seen many times, and that was when the Heroic Spirit returned to Valhalla.
In other words, Merlin's body is decomposing, but not back to Valhalla, but to what he calls the "Tower".
Legend has it that lies between the surface and the inside of the world, the Garden of Eternal Life, the Tower of Avalon.
That's where Merlin is.
Looking at his vanishing body, Rowe was a little embarrassed, because he didn't know the danger of letting Miria sign a contract with him in such a daze, and he felt that Merlin was not like a person who liked to tell the truth, or that he preferred to look at people, and enjoy the fun as if he were observing humans.
Because the way Merlin spoke was based on a kind of high point throughout, and although he seemed to be very affectionate enough to let Rowe call them by their first names, Rowe felt that it was only because he didn't care how to be called by Rovi.
In other words, it didn't matter what Rowe called him.
Miria seemed to have made a decision, patting Rowe on the shoulder and shaking her head to the side, motioning for him to get out of the way.
"Are you sure?" Luo Wei didn't think it was a good idea, although Merlin should have quite a lot of strength, but on the other hand, there seemed to be some kind of risk.
Miria was firm, nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if he is a demon, I will educate him to obey." As she spoke, the girl clenched her fists and crunched.
"Can I choose to sign a contract with the lady here?" Seeing Miria's menacing appearance, Merlin instantly retreated and pointed at Mercerly on the side.
"No, you can only sign a contract with me, come on, great flower magician, oh I remember, you said you couldn't do magic, did you? Then let's call you the flower magician, let's sign the contract between us, since you made this request, naturally you have your own method, right? With that, Miria stretched out her right hand to Merlin, and on the back of her white hand, there was a red spell connected to Lily.
Merlin was silent at Miria's decision, then smiled and nodded.
"This is really remarkable, your firm will makes me seem to see the rise of a brave man, ah, in this era, should I say that I am a hero?" After saying that, Merlin also stretched out his right hand, which corresponded to Miria's palm in the air.
"Then come and complete the contract, please follow me and recite the following incantation."
With that, Merlin began to teach Miria the spell about the contract.
"Declare that thou shalt obey my commands, and that thou shalt be with thy sword, and that thou shalt be with thy sword, and that thou shalt obey my command, and that thou shalt obey thee, and that being so, I will place my fate on thy sword."
Merlin finished speaking, and then Miria on the other side repeated the sentence.
Luo Wei stood aside and wanted to complain, obviously a magician, but what did he say that he pinned on your sword, don't you only have a magic staff in your hand? Where is the sword?
But the contract on the other side is still going on.
I saw that in the center of Merlin and Miria's palms, a red light appeared, connecting the two.
"In Caster's name, take the oath."
Miria only felt a tingling pain in her right hand, the familiar red light flickered, and the stigma of three circles appeared on the back of Miria's hand, no doubt it was a spell.
A large amount of data appeared in Miria's mind, and after signing the contract, Miria was able to see some of Merlin's attribute skills and abilities.
Just for the first glance, Miria screamed in surprise.
"Merlin? Is your strength B? ”
Merlin didn't find this surprising, and naturally nodded in agreement.
Rowe and Miria looked at each other, a little speechless.
Mordred strength is also grade B, but there is a + trimming, that is, it is higher than the general strength B, close to the level of A.
As a magician, does Merlin have the same strength as Mordred?
"What's strange? Didn't I say that it would be more convenient to type it directly than to chant it slowly? ”
"What about the other values? Except for Mana A, aren't all other values below C level? Are you really the great magician? Miria said it in one breath, in addition to Tendon B and Mana A, Merlin's other stats are Durability E, Agility D, Lucky C and Noble Phantasm C.
Although he has relatively strong muscles, he is not at all durable and agile, which means that although Merlin has good strength, if he fights with a servant of the same level, he only has the score of being passively beaten, because his speed can't keep up at all, and he is not very durable.
Lucky C doesn't matter, the point is that the legendary great magician, is there only C in the treasure?
Miria clearly remembered that even the girl knight who had just embarked on the knight's cultivation journey had a B-level Noble Phantasm, which meant that the Noble Phantasm in front of her was not even as good as the Golden Sword of Victory that Lily had used.
What about the Great Magician? What about the said GrandCaster? Why do you feel so weak when you look at the numbers?
"Ah, I forgot to say, I'm not really me now, I'm just a part of the tower of Avalon, I have specially improved the strength and magic of this body to facilitate my movement, I don't have any combat ability, I hope you understand this." Merlin said with a smile as if he had succeeded as a profiteer.
"You! Say! Miscellaneous! Whatever! Milia seemed to have a flaming rat jumping up and down in her heart, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed, she rushed up and grabbed Merlin by the collar, and asked, "You mean, you are a useless waste now!" ”
"Hmm.... In a sense, it's correct, I don't have any combat ability, I can only help you formulate some strategies and provide some magic knowledge help, although I don't know magic, but I can understand some magic through magic, I think I can still help you. ”
It's just that Merlin didn't say that he didn't have any combat power before signing the contract, because of the tone of his voice, Luo Wei and Miria unknowingly regarded him as the legendary great magician, who would have thought that this would be the result.
"So you deceived us?"
Merlin smiled, as if anticipating this, and said, "You didn't ask me, so how could I say it?" Thinking about it another way, I'm telling the Master that you have this possibility, and the next time you negotiate with the enemy, won't you be able to avoid this risk? ”
It made sense, but it still couldn't dispel the anger in Miria's heart.
"In the Name of the Spell ....."
"Wait a minute, my Master, the precious spell shouldn't be on me, right? That's the only absolute command that can be used three times in a Holy Grail War? But it seems that there are other uses in other places, and it seems that after using it, you can recover one every day. ”
Not knowing what Merlin was naturally talking about, Miria was just resentful.
"What's the use of keeping the spell on you, a guy with no combat power? In the name of the spell, give me 500 squats! ”
"Wait.... Wait a minute! Five hundred people who will die! It was just that the red light enveloped Merlin's body, and his body began to move unconsciously, and he walked to the corner, and began to squat with the back of his head behind his hand.
Still angry, Miria gasped as she watched Merlin finish five hundred squats alive.
In the meantime, Rowe went upstairs to find a chair and took it down for Messery to sit on.
By the time Merlin had done five hundred squats, his durability E had been fully demonstrated, and after the five hundredth squats, Merlin had fallen to the ground with a limp.
"Master.... Are you a demon? ”
"She's a cute and beautiful little devil, you should be happy."
Luo Wei, who said this, was glared at by Milia, but he was not attacked by the itching that Miria is punishment, and the girl turned her head away with a little blush, probably a rare compliment from Luo Wei, so she was a little happy.
"Now that the contract has been signed, we can continue the conversation we just talked about, right?" Luo Wei walked over, Merlin had already sat paralyzed on the ground, Luo Wei simply came over and sat in front of him, the dust on the ground had been blown away by the wind that had been rolled up when he was summoned.
"How am I.... Is it here? Merlin changed a little breathing, and after adjusting his breath, he continued to explain: "I also said just now, it's not my body that is here now, I just put a doppelganger over, to put it bluntly, it's a movable body, controlled by myself." ”
"Your body is in Avalon, right? That legendary fairy paradise, once people enter it, they can get immortal life? "What Rowe said was what he knew from history books.
"To be precise, Avalon does not give life to immortality, but rather to stop the time of the things within Avalon, that is, to achieve immortality by limiting growth."
"So does that mean that your essence, or yourself, Merlin, the Flower Mage, have been living for thousands of years?" That's what Lowe is most interested in.
If Merlin is really in the tower of Avalon, then he should have also gained immortality, so his current body should have survived a long time ago, in the time of King Arthur.
"Yes, I did stay in the Tower since then, and I've lived in the Tower of Avalon since King Arthur died and Camelot fell." Speaking of which, Merlin also turned his head to look at X in the distance.
"So you have seen the changes in this world for thousands of years, even if we are now participating in a Holy Grail War, you are here with complete knowledge, even if you don't know where it is, it should be Avalon, which exists in the surface of the world, you can also see some of the things that are happening in this world."
Rowe pointed to his eyes.
"With your clairvoyance, you can see the future, right?"
I have to say that Merlin is too lacking in curiosity about the current world, it is better to say that he seems to know everything, and even when he signed a contract with Miria, he said the word Holy Grail, which is something that neither Rowe nor Milia mentioned after he appeared, but he actually knew.
Merlin laughed.
"If my lord has the qualifications to be a brave man, then you have the qualifications to be a savior."
"No kidding." Luo Wei also laughed, the savior or something, it's too ridiculous. "What savior is needed in the current world?"
"How could it not be? Whenever the human world is in danger of extinction, have you met a savior without realizing her existence? ”
Merlin's eyes showed a look that saw through everything, and Rowe couldn't help but wonder who he was talking about as the savior, but the answer seemed obvious.
"You mean, Rika Fujimaru?"
"Ah, what a nostalgic name, I used to have a relationship with that savior, but that was a long time ago."
Merlin admits this, that is, he admits that Rika Fujimaru was once a savior who saved the world.
Rovi realized that the Chaldeans, the guarantee of human existence, were probably even greater than he had imagined, especially the person Rika Fujimaru, who, according to Merlin, had already saved the world once.
"Aside from that, we can put down the savior or something, Merlin, what is the purpose of your presence here?" Luo Wei didn't know, and couldn't guess, what else did a great magician who had survived for thousands of years, who could see everything in the world through clairvoyance, want?
"Purpose? It's very short, it's just that staying in the tower is a little boring, so I'm just releasing a clone to move around. "For a simple and pure reason, it is true that it is normal for a person who has lived in the tower for a thousand years to be bored, and it does not seem so incomprehensible to want to come out and move.
"Then why don't you come out with the ontology? Rather, you want to create a doppelganger? "If you're bored, you can just walk out of the Tower of Avalon, or is it a place where you can only get in and out?
"That would be even more boring, if my ontology came out, this Holy Grail War would be over in an instant."
Saying such arrogant words, Luo Wei didn't know if he was joking, or if he was just telling the truth.
"Are you kidding?"
Merlin shook his head.
"No kidding, it's not that I can easily defeat other servants, it's just that the Holy Grail, which is the main body of the Holy Grail War, can sense its existence, as long as I disassemble it in the past."
If the Holy Grail is dismantled, then the Holy Grail War is over.
However, Rowe grasped a key point.
"Can you disassemble the Holy Grail? By what means? ”
As if to see that Rowe wanted to know how to dismantle the Holy Grail, Merlin showed a slightly regretful expression.
"The method I use is something you can't do, so even if I tell you, it doesn't make any sense."
"Is that so?" Originally, Rowe wanted to know how to disassemble the Holy Grail and tell Ermelo II about it, but now it seems that it doesn't work.
"By the way, your name is Lowe, right? You seem to have something on you that I once made, can you show me it? ”
A long time ago, Merlin sensed the existence of the fragment on Rovi's body, but he never had a chance to ask.
"Something? Ah, do you mean the fragments of the Round Table? Luo Wei took out the fragment of the round table he had snatched in the middle of the crisis from his pocket, although the origin of the round table is not recorded in history, but it has that magical self-healing function, which is obviously inseparable from the court magician in front of him.
Rowe handed the shard, and Merlin took it.
"Well, familiar feeling, useful stuff."
"Oh? Do you have any special uses? ”
Merlin laughed and looked at Rowe.
"Luo Wei, do you want to summon another servant?"
