After dinner, Merlin didn't wander around like he had done last night, he went straight to his room, closed the door, and began to shut himself.

"No wonder the original owner, you have accumulated a library of knowledge at a young age, and your feelings come out of your liver without sleeping."

Merlin was lying on the bed, he really wanted to sleep, but the body of this demon king exploded with energy, and he was refreshed, and he couldn't sleep at all.

He suddenly realized that his two bodies seemed to be independent of each other, and when one body appeared, the other body seemed to enter a dormant state, and whenever he switched bodies in the evening or early morning, there would always be a kind of mental shock, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Sleeping was meant to rest his body, and he didn't seem to have to waste that time to sleep when the two bodies were used in turn.

And once he saves the time to sleep, he has more free time than others out of thin air to use.

For this extra time, the original owner chose to spend it on learning knowledge, so he was able to accumulate such a terrifying amount of knowledge at the age of 16.

However, in Merlin's opinion, it would be nice if he could not sleep in his previous life, so that he would have twice as much time to play liver games as others, so that he should be able to shake off other liver exploding players without even seeing the exhaust.

True. Covered in liver .jpg

It's a pity that there are no games in this world where the entertainment industry is not too developed to let him come to the liver, and Merlin, who is lying in bed and can't sleep, has no choice but to gradually become hollow in his eyes, and his soul dives into the sea of consciousness to prepare to burst his liver to study.

The New Year has passed, so it will only be a dozen days before the opening of the academy, and he urgently needs to absorb and digest some of the occult knowledge of the original owner, so that when the school starts, he will have the goods in his stomach to teach the students, after all, he can't go to class and roll the dice all the way, and....

He felt a little heavy when he thought back to the puppet body of the head maid who couldn't even enjoy the food, and then thought about the servants who were cursed as furniture in the whole castle.

It is common knowledge in the occult that the body and soul influence each other, so whether it is changing a person's body or changing a person's soul, it will have some irreversible effects on that person over time.

Just like the head maid, in the memory of the original owner, Merlin found that although the head maid many years ago was also very cold and didn't talk much, she was not as indifferent as she is now, at least at the beginning, the head maid was still very friendly to the servants in the castle and would not easily punish the servants. But now, in addition to some emotional fluctuations in the face of Merlin, the master maid, she is almost cold-blooded and ruthless to others.

Everything is just carried out in accordance with the rules and regulations of the castle, and any servant who makes a mistake will be severely punished, no matter how much he should be punished, no matter how much he should be punished, as if he is a robot or a real puppet, which is why the furniture servants in the castle are so afraid of the head maid.

The maid's feelings seem to be passing slowly little by little, and if this continues, there may really be a day when she will really become a real puppet with no feelings, and only know how to obey orders mechanically.

Even the head maid could resist such a change, but what about the other servants in the castle? How much longer can they hold out?

Thinking of this, Merlin had to be a little anxious, he desperately wanted to digest the knowledge of the original owner as soon as possible, and then continue the original owner's research on lifting the curse.

He had asked Cynthia before if there was a way to lift the curse, after all, these curses were all placed by her, but the witch only shook her head helplessly, a little helpless.

In fact, the curses on the maid and other servants were all small curses that could be lifted, but the fault was that Cynthia connected and merged their curses with the curse of the demon king on Merlin's body, and if the curse on Merlin's body was not touched for a day, then none of them could be free.

And Merlin's curse of the demon king was issued by Cynthia, who was carried away by hatred and was full of hatred, and she didn't think that she would need to undo the curse later, so this powerful curse that used the heart of the demon king as the casting material and took effect under the witness of the dark ministers of the abyss no one could solve it, even Cynthia, the caster, could not do anything.

"It's almost impossible to rely on external forces to lift the curse, brother, your only choice is to act according to the conditions for lifting the curse, find a girl you like and really love you, and use a kiss of true love to dispel the curse."

This is the advice Cynthia gave him.

But isn't this an invisible urging for marriage after all?

And....

"Sister, do you really believe that there is true love in this world?"

Merlin asked Cynthia this, and the half-elf witch fell silent.

Even if Cynthia didn't answer, Merlin knew that her answer was no, after all, if this ghost woman believed that there was really true love, she would not have set such a condition for breaking the spell back then.

Only the kiss of true love can lift the curse, and the condition of this curse itself is the witch's irony of the witch who abandoned her and her mother, and chose the human princess and the glorious and wealthy brave father, as the benchmark of human morality, the brave can split the legs, who will believe in any true love.

And whether Cynthia believes it or not, Merlin himself doesn't believe it anyway.

Even if Merlin now has a face that is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people, he can be overwhelmed by the girls who come to talk to him as long as he stands on the street for a short while, but can that kind of liking simply because of his appearance be considered true love?

And even if the other party really loves him, Merlin himself doesn't know if he can fall in love with the other party in the same way.

After all, true love is mutual, it is to love each other, not the unrequited love of one party to the other.

But as a senior otaku, a perfectionist who has been raised too tricky by the beautiful two-dimensional world, Merlin sees that the girl in reality has almost no fluctuations in his heart.

If this was before, he could still look at his sister twice simply because he was beautiful, but now that he is handsome, it doesn't matter to him whether the girl is beautiful or not, after all, ordinary girls are not good-looking, and he can't even be a simple appearance party.

"Alas, my true love is all paper people's wives, and the wives in my game are all absolute true love full of favorability, but it's a pity that the paper man's wife can't move, how can this be called a kiss, can licking the screen be considered a kiss of true love?"

Merlin smiled self-deprecatingly.

So, don't think about falling in love in the dead house, if you have that time to dream, why don't you study hard and eat through the memory of the original owner as soon as possible, so as to find other ways to solve the curse?

He shook off his distractions and began to concentrate on digesting the book of memories.

However, in the middle of the night, when Merlin was still immersed in the world full of strange and strange occults, there was a knock on his door, and Merlin had to come out of the space of consciousness.

"Who's looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Merlin looked at the door with some confusion, and he patted the large white snake on his neck.

Finally, it was rare to eat food, so she fell asleep after eating, and the snake who wanted to recall the taste of the food she had eaten before in her dream opened her eyes speechlessly, and then she stretched out her tail and opened the door.

Alas, as a snake, I was so hard.
