Temporary madness doesn't last long, and you don't even need to see a psychiatrist for this minor problem, you just need to sleep and rest for a while.

Merlin in the Demon King state was obviously more resistant, and in fact he almost recovered not long after he walked out of the city.

"I'll go, what was it just now, I would be so diligent, I'm afraid it's not fake."

The diligent temperament of the overlord retreated, and the laziness of the salted fish made a comeback again, Merlin recalled the experience of mental illness just now, and immediately covered his face with one hand, very ashamed.

"Mom, what the hell, I even call myself the king, I'm obviously graduating from the second year of secondary school, okay, no, I'm so ashamed, fortunately, no one saw it just now, otherwise how should I go out to meet people in the future."

And recalling that he was arrogant to a comatose little girl just now, obviously he was not worried that the little girl was lying in the pile of monsters, but he was still awkwardly saying something about experimental ability.

The arrogance of the big man is not cute at all, especially now that he is still a demon three or four meters tall, full of muscles, and hideous appearance.

Thinking of the scene just now, Merlin had goosebumps all over his body even if he was now a demon king, and he was embarrassed, and he was ashamed and wanted to lie on the ground and roll around.

"But fortunately, this time I just became a little more diligent, and fortunately I didn't become the kind of real demon king who kills people without blinking."

When the shame subsided, Merlin began to reflect on the temporary madness he had just had.

To be honest, it's a bit scary, as if the original idea has been distorted in an instant, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, no wonder people often say that mentally ill people never think they're mentally ill.

This time I was lucky, but I just changed from a salted fish to a diligent student, but what about the next one? What if you become a homicidal maniac or something?

At the thought of this possibility, Merlin couldn't help but suffocate his breath, and didn't dare to think about it further, until this time, he really experienced the horror of the decline in SAN value, and the consequences of this kind of strong and silent distortion of people's minds were really terrifying.

If a person is even distorted in his mind, is he still him?

This is the first day after the crossing, he first saw the miserable life of the people of the other world, and now he was frightened like this, a deep sense of exhaustion couldn't help but come to his heart, and now Merlin just wants to go back to the castle and sleep well, and then just squat in the castle honestly to make a new house, and never want to come out again.

[The host has learned the Blasphemous Language (Remnant) by studying the Whispers of the Abyss, +3 for Linguistics, +3 for Mythology, and -3 for your upper limit of sanity]

It's just that when Merlin closed his eyes, such a message from the system made him stunned again.

Generally speaking, the research done by people who have fallen into madness is meaningless, after all, when an ordinary person tries to explain theology with science, there will be no other result than to drive himself mad and crazy.

But Merlin's brief madness just now was just a little bit of time, but it seems that he has really done some research, which is a bit magical.

However, after taking a closer look at the attributes of his current character card, he can understand it a little.

"Well, I can only say that the original owner is awesome."

In the rules of running a group, the number after the character's skill is your skill level.

0-5 is a novice, a complete layman, 6-19 is a beginner with a small amount of professional knowledge, and 20-49 is an amateur level, which is considered a level of personal interest.

Go up 50-74, which is already a professional level, and the degree to which you can eat with this skill is almost the same as a bachelor's degree according to Merlin's understanding in his previous life.

At the level of 75-89, above the bachelor's degree is naturally a master's degree and a doctorate, and you can already be regarded as an industry expert in this level of skills.

As for 90 and above, that is the domain of the masters, the absolute authority in a certain industry.

And in Merlin's character card, the inexplicable charm 90 is ignored, and he doesn't need a master in this area.

But the 90's occult is a good thing, the original owner read almost all the occult books in the castle in order to unravel the curse on his body, and the royal book collection is naturally rich Needless to say, the original owner of the entire royal library is indeed a master of theory in the field of occultism.

And people who can reach the master level are basically not ordinary people, and they can't even be described by a big touch, they should be treated as immortals. With this level of knowledge, it didn't seem unacceptable that Merlin could decipher the whispers of the abyss and learn so-called blasphemy from them.

"But I haven't fully digested the knowledge of the original owner, have I? Well, it seems that I can directly call the memories left by the original owner in a crazy state, which is much more convenient than I, a shameful owner, who has to turn through the memory books one by one if I want to find something. ”

Merlin was a little depressed, as for the knowledge that came down from the original owner, he didn't know how many years he had to digest it, but this kind of slow digestion was the best way, otherwise his fragile spirit might be directly washed into a fool by the sea of knowledge if he was directly instilled with memory.

But it seems that after suffering from mental illness, not only is the person more energetic, but even the endurance has become much stronger, and he can directly call the memories of his predecessor with a limited amount, without the need to learn little by little like he usually does.

"Why do you always feel like I'm a fake protagonist."

Merlin sighed, really tired.

But when he remembered that he seemed to belong to the coc-style running group, he was a little glad that he wasn't too smart.

Because in this kind of world of the Ke style, knowledge is not the more you master, the better, and you can even say that the more you know, the faster you will go crazy, because knowledge has great power, and strong power often erodes people's reason.

Do you see how many people can still be consistent and unwavering after gaining great power?

It's rare, isn't it?

The people who can do this are basically saints or great men who have left their names in history.

The power contained in ordinary knowledge is not very strong, it is still within the range that human beings can accept, but mythology is no longer the knowledge that human beings should master, and of course, when Merlin's mythology is +3, his upper limit of reason is -3.

This is different from the previous SAN reduction, which can be recovered by taking a good rest or taking medication, finding a psychiatrist, etc., but once the upper limit of sanity is reduced, it is often irreversible, and when your upper limit of sanity is reduced to a dangerous point, it is really crazy.

And if Merlin, who is cursed, is really completely insane, there will probably be one more real demon king in this world.

"Sure enough, in this kind of world, only the salted fish is the safest, and the more you jump, the faster you die."

Shaking his head, Merlin was determined to return to the castle and continue to be a dead house.

However, as he stepped forward and was about to set off again, he heard faint footsteps behind him, and the sound of slightly rapid breathing.

Turning his head, he looked at the little girl who was following him with a match.

"Mr. Monster, can you take me away?"

The little girl walked up to him, lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and then asked cautiously.
