33. Seal designation

Speaking of this seal, Merlin couldn't help but think of the SCP Foundation he had seen in his previous life, an organization dedicated to containing, controlling, and protecting those supernatural beings.

It's just that the SCP Foundation in the previous life was just a fictional fantasy work of people....

Emmmm, wait, since his mysterious netizen is a great god who can let him pass through, then I wonder if the SCP thing really exists.

Hey, it's scary to think about.

However, no matter how deep the water is in the previous life, it has nothing to do with Merlin, who has already crossed over, he just digested the memories of the original owner and found the shadow of the SCP containment object from the setting of this so-called seal.

As mentioned before, in the eyes of ordinary people in this world, supernatural forces such as magic and gods have long been swept into the dustbin of history, becoming legends or fictional stories, and the Church and the Empire have teamed up for unknown reasons to spread this lie that has deceived all ordinary people.

However, no matter how capable the Church and the Empire were, facts are facts after all, and it is impossible for them to have those real mysteries disappear like bubbles because of such a lie.

Thus, the first prohibition on the mysterious side, secrecy, was born.

Secretive, hidden mysterious, the creatures on the mysterious side must not exert their power in front of ordinary people, and if they are forced to do so, they must immediately control the situation and not let the situation expand.

I don't know if the church and empire were persuaded by eloquence or physics, but in short, all the transcendent races or transcendent associations across the continent signed the secret agreement.

Elves, dwarves and other otherworldly races either went into the forest or hid in the mountains, but most of them migrated to inaccessible areas and lived in seclusion.

Otherworldly organizations such as the Wizards' Guild and Elysium have begun to use magic to conceal their bases and cut off ties with ordinary people.

However, it's obviously an extravagant expectation that you expect everyone to be law-abiding, and there will always be disobedient people who want to do something.

And this is the real world of supernatural forces such as magic and gods, even if there are major races and major organizations to restrain together, but there is no saying that it is forbidden to become a spirit, under the influence of the abundant magic floating in the air, there will always be some wild transcendent things born after various accidents, such as the witch who suddenly awakened her power, the resentful spirit who came back from the dead, the animal that has superpowers after eating strange things, and so on.

In addition, in addition to living things, some old things that have been left for a long time or have been baptized by mysterious powers may also suddenly have abilities, such as a magic mirror that can talk, a magic carpet that can fly, a magical tablecloth that can make food, and so on.

Once these restless guys who want to make trouble or those wild and extraordinary things are exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, then the so-called secret ban is not signed in vain.

In order to prevent this from happening, the Church, the Empire, and other major organizations have teamed up to create an artifact called the Seal Designation.

The artifact will automatically detect and lock on any violation of the ban, and then give a rating according to the degree of harm to the target, and finally list it in the form of a list, and the church and the major organizations will find their respective teams of guards according to the list, and one by one they will contain the targets on the list and bring them back.

Over the years, those secret keepers have rarely made any big moves, but when the secret ban was first implemented hundreds of years ago, the big operation called witch hunting still has a legend to this day.

Although the Templar Church was very aggrieved by this, they didn't just capture the witch as an extraordinary creature, in fact, as long as it was an extraordinary thing, they caught it. But maybe because the witches are all good-looking and leave a deep impression on people, so in the end, it is just as if they are specialized in catching witches.

As for the so-called catching the witch and burning it to death, this is even more nonsense, and the messenger of God is not an executioner who can only slaughter, and they will naturally not show mercy to those witches who do evil, but those innocent witches who have just awakened their power They just take them back and take good care of them, okay, and invite a special teacher to teach them how to control their power, and popularize the common sense of the mysterious side for them.

However, there is such a thing as rumors that cannot be stopped, and who makes the movement of the Templar Church's secret guard troops too scary every time they are dispatched.

After all, if you think about it, suddenly a group of mysterious people wearing black robes, even with black pointed masks on their heads, leaving only the eyes of the two mysterious people rushed into the weak girl's house and forcibly took them away.

And once there is a conflict, this group of black-robed weirdos will hold torches high, and the sickles, axes, sledgehammers and other weapons in their hands will also burn with raging fire, looking like I will not only hack you to death today, but also help you cremate by the way.

However, the priests are also very aggrieved, what can they do, the divine power of the Lord of the Flame is the flame Okay, they cut everyone all the way, and they really didn't mean to target the witch.

Ahem, it seems to be far away.

In short, those transcendent things that are brought back by the guards to control, contain, and protect are the so-called seals.

And their numbers on the seal's designated list became their numbers.

For example, Merlin's carriage is numbered 2-333, where 2 is the seal level of the carriage, and 333 is the serial number, indicating that this is the number 333 of the level 2 seals.

Of course, the level of the seal does not represent the strength or weakness, but only the degree of potential harm and the priority of the seal, there are five levels of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

4 of them means that they are basically harmless, in fact, they will not affect anything if they are left alone, and they can be contained later when they are free.

Level 3 indicates that the target is somewhat hazardous, and that it is best to contain it before it becomes a big deal.

Level 2 indicates that the target has reached a dangerous level, and if discovered, personnel must be sent to contain it immediately.

The next level 1, which is already the goal of the disaster level, has a great impact, it is not a question of whether it can be contained, but it must be fully contained and sealed.

As for the final level 0, this means that it doesn't matter how much of the world crisis may be caused by it, but this is actually set up there to scare people, anyway, there are not many real level 0 seals so far, and the level 0 targets listed on the seal designation list are also things such as the abyss so-and-so Grand Duke or the void so-and-so evil god.

Isn't this nonsense, everyone knows that the demon god or the evil god has the ability to destroy the world, but this also has to have the ability to contain it, you are really stupid to scare those big guys, it is nothing more than you are on it, the result of your death, what is there to talk about.

However, although the level 0 seal is pitiful, it is not absolutely none, Merlin knows that there is such a level 0 seal, and he can often see and touch it.

Well, numbers 0-02, the cursed demon prince.

"Damn, I've become a seal."

Merlin looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Who should I talk to about this kind of thing?
