Back in his room, Merlin fell into autism.

It was rare that he did not immerse himself in the sea of consciousness to absorb the gift of memories left by the original owner, but lay on the bed and thought about life for a long time.

The tall demon lay on the bed, which made the wood of this bed make a subtle sound of being pressed by a heavy object, fortunately, this bed in Merlin's master bedroom is a high-end product specially customized for the body of the demon king, the big one is outrageous, if it is replaced with a normal human body type, this bed is enough to accommodate more than a dozen people to sleep together, so it can well support the weight of the body of the demon king.

After lying down, Merlin pulled up the small quilt on the side and wrapped it around his body, but unfortunately this quilt was not as special as the bed, but a normal size, so it couldn't wrap the huge demon king's body intact at all.

But it doesn't matter, even so, this beloved little quilt still brings him a little warmth.

"Ah, it's really a quilt filled with angel feathers, only you can bring me a trace of warmth in this cold world."

Merlin lay on the bed like a salted fish, dead fish eyes staring at the ceiling, thinking to himself.

This quilt and pillow were prepared for him by Cynthia when he was a child, when the ghost woman had just risen, and she was not as invincible as she is now, and she had not yet become a sage of the Wizarding Association, and she was even quite miserable, after all, she was the culprit who caused the collapse of the empire, so she was chased and killed by the Templar Church every day, and sometimes she was chased all over the world by angels summoned by the Church.

But this ghost woman unexpectedly kept her agreement, even if she was hunted down every day, she didn't forget to come to see Merlin once a month, and this quilt was given to him when she came to see Merlin at that time.

Well, to be precise, it was made on the spot, Cynthia was using a chain to tie up an angel lady, and this was originally going to give the angel sister to Merlin as a maid to play, but when the angel sister heard that she wanted to be a low-level human servant, the angel's arrogance made her rather die than give in, and wanted to attack Merlin, so frightened that Merlin, who was still young at the time, hurriedly hid behind the maid chief.

And then... And then there was nothing more.

The head maid, who was furious because Merlin was almost injured, directly chopped off the angel's wings like a chicken, and then Cynthia took the pair of wings and plucked the feathers and used alchemy to refine a set of angel velvet quilt pillows and gave it to Merlin, but unfortunately the angel was just a low-level angel with wings, so the feathers were limited, and the quilt made in the end was only an ordinary size.

Hawkers, Merlin still remembers the fear and helplessness of the poor angel lady in the face of Cynthia and the chief maid, if it weren't for the innocent and kind original owner at that time to see her really miserable and plead with her, and let Cynthia let her go, otherwise the angel would probably be kept as a slave by Cynthia, and then harvest the feathers regularly like wool.

After all, as a golden species, the angel's self-healing ability is quite strong, if other places are injured can heal in minutes, but the wings are special, the source of the angel's power is the wings and the halo on the top of the head, if the wings are injured, they will lose their strength in a short time, and it will take about a year or two to cultivate, and the halo will be more troublesome, and it will take dozens of hundreds of years to repair if it is slightly damaged, and if the damage is serious, it may lose a small life.

"It's been more than ten years, that angel lady should have regained her wings."

Merlin, with an angel velvet pillow, thought so crankily.

Now he is in a little troubled, and the brave inheritance that he originally had high hopes for turned out to be the worst one with him, and this feeling of being cut off from the future made him a little confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He stretched out his hand and looked at the big cat-like paws of the demon king's body, and poked the flesh pad on the palm of his hand with the fingers of his other hand in boredom, while thinking about life.

"Is it true that I only have the only way to learn the forbidden knowledge of the abyss?"

He still thought with some repulsion.

Now that he has absorbed more and more memories of the original owner, although he still clearly retains his subjective consciousness, he is inevitably slightly affected by those memories in some small things, such as the unconscious closeness to Cynthia and Vile, the persistence of aristocratic appearance and etiquette, and the rejection of the power of the abyss.

This kind of influence is not a big problem, and the harm is very small, and it will not split Merlin's personality or anything, at most, it is just to change some of his small habits, which can actually make him better accustomed to the new identity of this prince, and in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

And as long as Merlin is willing, he can completely use his will to restrain the influence of these original masters, such as lifting the rejection of the power of the abyss.

But Merlin didn't really do it, because after learning about the so-called power of the abyss, even he, who had always thought it was cool to be dark, was really a little disgusted and repulsed by this thing.

The power of the abyss is undeniable, even if the human race now has the protection of the Lord of the Flame, but this world is actually still the abyssal power is even more powerful, and all kinds of abyssal races continue to impact the borders of mankind to this day.

There is no time to be quiet, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you.

As the dark side of this world, the abyss is a collection of all kinds of negative energy, and the growth of the abyss requires all kinds of extreme negative abilities, such as fear, resentment, despair, the seven deadly sins, and so on.

In order to grow faster, the abyssal consciousness instinctively needs more negative energy, and the self-sufficiency of the souls of those wicked people who have fallen into the abyss is really a bit underground, and the abyss consciousness that represents desire itself does not know what is called moderation and patience, she just wants to get the nourishment needed for growth faster and more.

Therefore, under the spur of the abyssal consciousness, the major abyssal races wantonly spread fear and despair, and almost all of the abyssal forbidden techniques were created to squeeze negative energy to the greatest extent.

Gain power by using blood sacrifices, gain power by playing with people's hearts, gain power by luring holy people into evil, gain power by tying souls to create engines, and so on.....

In the forbidden art of the abyss, almost everything of living beings is arranged clearly, and it can definitely ensure that every bit of your flesh and blood, every bit of soul, and every trace of emotion are squeezed clean.

This thing is no longer anti-human to the extent that it can be described, but anti-life.

Although Merlin asked himself if he was not a good person, he really couldn't do it if you asked him to engage in massacres, play all kinds of blood sacrifices, and enslave other people's souls.

Naturally, he was also a little resistant to this kind of abyss secret technique in his heart, and so far in addition to the innate ability that came with the demon king's body, the only abyss forbidden technique he had learned was the tentacle summoning technique.

But there are really not many "harmless" witchcraft like tentacle summoning in the abyss, and the room for him to choose is actually very small, and this kind of witchcraft has limited ordinary power, more than control, insufficient killing, and plays a limited role in the fight of the strong.

If you want to become stronger with the power of the abyss, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on those evil forbidden arts.

But those forbidden techniques Merlin really don't want to learn, and once this thing really starts learning, it doesn't mean that you can stop it, those crazy knowledge will destroy the reason of learning step by step, and every time you use it more, you will become more addicted.

You may just learn a little about emergency response at first, but in the end you will find that before you know it, your hands are still covered with blood, and you can't turn back, and you can only gradually become a minion of the abyss, desperately spreading fear and despair to provide nourishment for the great abyss.

Therefore, the Abyss Forbidden Technique is absolutely untouchable, this is the common sense on the mysterious side, except for the crazy cultists on the mysterious side, only the most determined scholars dare to study the power of the abyss, and even if they are as steady as scholars, there are not a few scholars who are tempted and fall over every year.

If it weren't for knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent that one could win a hundred battles, as long as you had an understanding of the abyss, it would be easier for the front line to fight the abyss, and the Hall of Truth would even prohibit scholars from studying the power of the abyss.

The battle between humans and the abyss has never been dominant, even the order of the Lord of the Flame can only barely resist the erosion of the abyss, although there have been all kinds of glorious victories from the front line, and every day there is news of how many great demons have been slaughtered like the great god of war and killing chickens, but this is just good news and not bad news.

The greatest strength of the abyss is never in its lethality, but in its pervasive corrosiveness.

You stare into the abyss, and the abyss is staring at you.

The more the fighters on the front line fight, the more they understand the abyss, and the more they understand the abyss, the more you know about the abyss, which means that you are not far from falling into the abyss.

Ordinary people may not know it, but a person of high enough status like Merlin knows that the purpose of the Church's heresy is to personally execute those comrades who have fallen or are about to fall.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if the front-line warriors do not reach the Holy Rank, then there is only one end, that is, they fall into the abyss, and the difference is only a matter of time and time, and even if they are as powerful as the Holy Rank, it is not completely safe, and every year there will be news of the fall of one or two Holy Ranks.

Such a dangerous force, Merlin really didn't want to touch it if he could.

Although his Demon King Body has a passive talent such as Abyssal Wisdom, he can ignore the SAN value judgment of the Abyssal Power, which means that he will not actually be eroded by the Abyssal Power, and theoretically he can learn boldly without worrying about going crazy.

But there is one important point, that is, the wisdom of the abyss is a passive skill of the demon king's body, this thing only takes effect at night, what can he do during the day, can the knowledge of the abyss he learned be amnesia during the day?

Of course, this is just speculation, and it is not clear that this passive is actually covered around the clock, but Merlin did not dare to try it until he was absolutely sure.

"Ah, it's annoying."

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Merlin rolled on the bed holding the quilt.

"Now, snake, what does the abyss look like?"

Finally, Merlin asked with some curiosity to the white snake coiled at the head of the bed.
