"Alas, unfortunately, I'm getting involved in some trouble again."

Merlin returned to the castle and sighed tiredly.

Alice on his shoulder was probably a little too sad, and had fallen asleep leaning on him, and after confirming the news that her father had been devoured by demons, the poor child was completely orphaned, and such bad news was too heavy for a child.

Although Merlin was the same in his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage since he was sensible, and he had never experienced the feeling of family, so naturally he couldn't talk about loss, and he thought that Alice's pain of getting and losing again should be above him.

He looked at the sleeping little Lori with some pity, and then carefully picked her up, and without waking Alice, put her on his bed, and covered her for the rest of her life.

After settling Alice, Merlin returned to his exclusive place, sitting down in the bay window of the room.

Anyway, he doesn't need to sleep when he can have two bodies, and to be honest, although the bed in the bedroom is already large, but for him in the demon state, he just wants to be a small single bed, and his legs can't be stretched straight after lying down, and there is no difference between sitting on the bed and sitting on the bay window, but the window can also look at the night sky by the way.

Illuminated by the scarlet moonlight shining through the window, the tall demon closed his eyes, and he didn't waste too much time on the question of Alice's father's whereabouts, but once again devoted all his energy to endless learning.

Although he is cautious and seems very cowardly, he also knows very well that when fighting against this kind of enemy hiding in the shadows, instead of following the pace of the other party, it is better to calm down, lay out a defense steadily, and wait for the other party to jump out to find you first.

In short, don't wave, prioritize development, and wait until I develop into a hexagonal warrior to see who kills whom in the end.

Merlin thought so, and then he plunged headlong into the library of the Sea of Consciousness and began to search for defensive sorcery.

At this moment, he was extremely envious of Cynthia, if he could also solidify one hundred and eighty defensive forbidden spells on his body at any time like Cynthia, how safe would he be.

So, a minute later, the demon opened his eyes, and the darkness around him began to roll and surge, and with the rhythm of the demon's breathing, the huge magic power transformed into an invisible iron armor covering his body under his will.

Merlin stretched out his palm with some curiosity, then poked out his sharp claws from under the fur, gently grabbed the layer of iron armor, and then .....

Looking at the defense that seemed to be sliced through as easily as slippery tofu, he fell into deep thought.

"That's the top-level defensive spell of mid-level witchcraft? It's not as strong as my demon skin. ”

He scratched his head in confusion, and brilliant sparks erupted between his paws and scalp rubbing, and there was a piercing grinding sound.

Fortunately, he had already arranged a layer of isolation magic in advance before the experiment, which did not disturb the sleeping little Lori on the side.

"It's not easy to get stronger."

The first experiment didn't go well, he sighed, closed his eyes again, and continued to study hard.

Who made him a half-demon, who can only become stronger by studying.

As one of the three golden races that can be ranked alongside angels and dragons, the demon clan has an extremely strong innate advantage, and the real demon does not need to be studied at all to become stronger.

It's like the dragon clan can inherit knowledge through bloodline, and the young dragon only needs to eat and drink every day to grow up, and then it can naturally become stronger and understand dragon magic.

The same is true of demons and angels, demons by listening to the whispers of the abyss, and angels by praying to their gods, both gain the power that suits them best, lying down and becoming stronger.

It's just that this kind of growth obviously comes at a price, just like the angel clan served the astral consciousness that had not yet awakened at the beginning, and they were quite free at that time, but later after the astral consciousness awakened and chose to merge with a mortal to give birth to the lord of the fire, the entire angel clan directly became a servant of the lord of the fire, if it weren't for the lord of the torch being gentle and a righteous god, otherwise a thought could make the angel clan history.

As for the demons in the abyss, there is nothing to say about this one, and he has been a puppet tool man in the abyss from the beginning.

Only the dragon clan of the bloodline inheritance is relatively free, although there is also bloodline suppression within the dragon clan, but it is much better than the powerlessness of angels and demons, and from time to time you can still hear that the dragon clan has the following situation, indicating that this bloodline suppression is still a way to avoid it.

With only benefits and relatively loose restrictions, it's no wonder that dragons have always been called the perfect race.

If Merlin really wants to become stronger quickly, he just needs to take the initiative to listen to the whispers of the abyss, but he doesn't dare, he listened to a sentence or two last time he absorbed the negative energy of Dongcheng District, and the upper limit of the SAN value dropped by three points directly on the spot.

It's a little uncertain whether he's crazy or not.

Of course, the system never said what the consequences would be if the SAN value was zeroed, and Merlin calculated it himself according to the rules of running the group, and he didn't know if he was allowed or not, but he couldn't afford to gamble on it, so it was better to be cautious.

Therefore, Merlin doesn't dare to think about shortcuts or something, it's better to study honestly and down-to-earth, anyway, so much valuable knowledge left by his predecessor is enough for him to learn for a while, and he has integrated the knowledge of that library, even if his strength is not as good as Cynthia, it will definitely not be much worse, and when the time comes, as long as he doesn't provoke the gods with death, he can go sideways in this human world.

As for the Lord of the Torch who has already offended?

emmmm, as long as he lets the Templar Church have nothing to do with him at that time, anyway, the gods can't go down to earth freely, and the only way is for the gods to descend to the gods, but the only god of the Lord of the Flame in the world is Alice, as long as he doesn't treat Alice badly, little Lori won't summon the gods to deal with him.

As for the re-cultivation of the gods, this cultivation of the gods is like giving birth to a child, it is impossible to give birth in a row, even a god of the level of the Lord of the Flame will definitely have to rest for a while after cultivating Alice, and with the time view of the gods, I am afraid that this period of time is not thousands of years have passed, and then Merlin will burp and his soul will go to the abyss.

Hehe, so ah, even if you are the Lord of the Flame, the King of the Gods, no matter how awesome it is, I will let my words go, your daughter and I will abduct, you have the ability to immediately go down to the world for a set of seconds, I can't do it, as long as I get up and develop to the point where I can't start a church like Cynthia, then it is not simple to live happily in this human world for a lifetime.

Thinking about the future in this way, Merlin's motivation to learn was immediately there, and he closed his eyes again, threw himself into the full study, and then came out to experiment with every new witchcraft he mastered.

The magic power in the castle fluctuated for a while, whether the demon king on the windowsill was floating around him with various magic formations floating around him one after another, and various spell effects were staged in turn, in short, Merlin's frankness and sense of security were in the midst of a great up.
