The familiar feeling and the still-blinding brilliance that made him unable to see anything clearly, and when everything calmed down, Ethan immediately swept around, his right hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.

There was no heavy encirclement - this was the first time, remembering the first two shuttles, every time I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by a group of people, and when I was in the dark world, a group of Rogges also opened their bows and arrows, and shot him into a hornet's nest when the situation was wrong, leaving him with a huge 'shadow'.

The landing location chosen by this shuttle magic array every time seemed quite unreliable - but thinking about it in another direction, it seemed quite reliable to throw it in the safe zone every time.

"Don't be nervous, mages from other planes. ”

As soon as I relaxed a little, a voice came from behind me.

Startled, Ethan immediately turned around and looked at the unremarkable steep mountain wall. The voice came from here, but there was no one in front of me.

"It's ...... Illusion?"

Pooling his mental power and strengthening his senses, Ethan sensed a hint of incongruity. He can't release his mental power now, which can detect more things, and now he can only detect that something is wrong, and if he wants to find out what is wrong, he needs other additional means.

However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of hiding himself, and with a wave like water, a piece of the originally steep bare mountain wall actually disappeared, revealing a narrow passage.

At the same time, a white-bearded old man dressed like an impression of a mage walked out with a long staff and a blonde teenager.

"Hello, guests from other worlds. ”

The old mage's voice was slow, and his soft voice seemed to indicate that he had no ill intentions, but simply showed his hospitality—if it weren't for the premise that he would unconceal the bottomless fluctuations of magic like the sea.

"Don't get me wrong, as a mage, you should know that sometimes you have to do this in order to have a good conversation. ”

The old mage quickly put away his terrifying fluctuations in mana, still speaking in that amiable tone.

"Moreover, in order to break through the blockade of that huge energy and communicate with you as soon as possible, I used a little too much force. ”

Ethan then reacted that he could hear the other party's words not because he could understand, but because the other party used mental power to communicate with him.

"I've got a wipe!"

Although he knew that he was still very weak, he was still very unhappy that he was connected to him like a backyard by powerful mages every time - it seemed that something had to be made to prevent these mages from linking his spirit without even saying hello.

"Well, young man, you should be angry about it, but I hope you will give me a chance to make amends. ”

The old mage in front of him seemed to be a good person with strong moral qualities, and he was willing to apologize at the first time and offer compensation.

"For example, how about making a talisman that can defend against psychic attacks?"

Ethan was stunned: "Can you read my thoughts?"

"Oh no! I just think that's what you want most at this time. The old mage showed his wisdom unabashedly, and his originally kind and kind eyes also showed a little edge.

Ethan thought about it and decided not to care about the compensation for the first time, this old mage seemed to regard making such a talisman as a very simple thing in his words, which shows that he is very confident in his ability to make magic equipment, and now Ethan does not urgently need such a defensive prop - in fact, with the improvement of his spiritual power, as long as he does not encounter the existence that absolutely crushes him, the other party cannot use his spiritual power to invade successfully at will.

As for being able to successfully invade without knowing it, it proves that the difference in strength between the two people is amazing, and the other party can wipe himself out of this world at will, and it doesn't make sense if the other party is hostile to have such a talisman.

"So, what should I call you?"

Seeing Ethan's willingness to communicate, the old mage nodded happily: "My name is Merlin, you can just call me by my name." ”

"Merlin ......"

Ethan frowned, he didn't know who Merlin was, his name was Merlin, and he was also a powerful mage, his identity was already obvious. He was just thinking in his head which Merlin was this? As a famous legendary-level magician in the West, there are not many works in which he has appeared, and there are even more works, although they do not appear directly, they indirectly mention His Excellency the magician.

"Not a bad guy with white hair...... One possibility can be ruled out. ”

"The staff in the hand doesn't look like a metal machine, and one can be ruled out. ”

Scratching his head, he found that there were countless works he knew, and it was impossible to eliminate them one by one.

And his reaction made Merlin on the other side very curious.

"Young man, have you ever heard my name or have you seen me in another plane?"

Ethan was a little surprised by Merlin's inquiry, but quickly figured it out - from the very beginning, Merlin had revealed that he was from another plane, which showed that the archmage knew a certain amount of the multiverse concept, perhaps even more than he did.

"Wait......" Ethan suddenly thought of a possibility: "My teleportation array will send me here, it can't be your ghost, right?"

Merlin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect you to think of it so quickly, I didn't mean to hide it, in fact, even if you didn't notice it, I would mention it later." ”

Ethan's face darkened. The last time he was caught by the ancient one, it was also because when he was shuttling into the Marvel universe, he was intercepted by this supreme mage who guarded the earth from being invaded by other planes, and at that time he knew that some powerful beings could interfere with his teleportation.

I didn't expect to meet another one so soon, so I wouldn't dare to use the magic array to shuttle between planes in the future, and the ghost knows if I would run into a guy who killed him without saying a word?

"Or can I teach you how to better control that huge amount of energy so that it doesn't just stand out like the moon in the dark night sky, so that you don't notice it the next time you teleport?"

Merlin was quick to offer something that Ethan couldn't refuse, and that was exactly what he desperately wanted to solve.

"I really want to solve this problem. Ethan nodded and acknowledged it, but he didn't want to be led by Merlin's nose like this: "So, what do you want from you who brought me here on purpose? ”

Merlin deliberately intercepted him and changed the teleportation location in front of him, which must have been an attempt. If at first he suspected that this famous mage was a plane guardian like the Ancient One, when he proposed benefits again and again, Ethan denied it.

"This thing has something to do with me. ”

He couldn't figure out what he was trying to do in the eyes of this legendary superpower? The only thing that caught the eye was the ability to travel between planes, right? But as revealed in the previous words, Merlin didn't seem to have much interest in this ability—otherwise, why would he offer to help Ethan better grasp the energy of time and space?

"Let's go somewhere else, are we going to stand here all the time?"

"It really deserves to be in a different place. ”

"Come with me, then, young man. ”

Merlin greeted and turned back first, while Ethan followed him into the path hidden by magic. When passing through the position where he looked at the mountain wall before, Ethan felt that he had passed through a very powerful magical wall, and the feeling was similar to passing through a curtain of water, but not only would he not be soaked all over his body under the magic wash, but there was even a slight benefit: the spirit consumed by the previous shuttle seemed to have recovered somewhat.

The road was not long, but after walking for a while, the originally narrow passage suddenly opened up, and Ethan came to a very beautiful valley under the guidance of Merlin.

A variety of flowers and trees fill every inch of the valley, and countless kinds of blooming flowers fill the valley with the fragrance of flowers. The spirit shook again, and Ethan immediately sensed the extraordinaryness of these flowers and plants.

"A fairyland on earth!"

Merlin seems to have deliberately waited for the compliment.

"This is where I live. ”

The only man-made object in the valley is an ordinary-looking house, a three-story building that looks like an ordinary one from the outside. But when Ethan stepped inside, the huge space made him understand that this cabin was definitely not as simple as it looked.

The group did not stop, and Merlin led them into a room, which was a reception room, and Ethan saw that some fruit was already on the table.

"You may be seated!"

Merlin sat down for himself first, and waited until Ethan sat down across from him before continuing.

"I wanted to talk to you for a while before I told you what I was for, but it seems that you don't like it, so there's no need for me to keep it hidden. Merlin was just about to speak to the blonde boy beside him, when he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, sorry, I might have to take an offense before I do." ”

Merlin tapped his finger on his forehead: "There will be no side effects, just that you will feel a little swollen and numb in your head, or some slight headaches." ”

Before he finished speaking, the finger that tapped his forehead slowly pointed at Ethan, and a streamer first flowed from Merlin's forehead to his fingers, and then jumped into Ethan's head with the old mage's movements.

His body stiffened, and Ethan, who was just about to get up, stopped again, he had realized what magic Merlin had just used - he 'punched' some of the language knowledge in his mind, and then 'teleported' it to Ethan, so that he could master a foreign language in the shortest possible time.

"Hello, my name is Arthur. The blonde boy stood up at Merlin's signal and introduced himself very formally in the language Ethan had just 'learned'.
