Chapter 173: The End and the Beginning
Thankfully, the dizziness only lasted for a while before it stopped, otherwise Merlin and Márquez would not have had a good time.
Merlin stayed in Sheldon's arms for nearly half an hour, and it wasn't until he saw the prototype of the Dip Tower that the boy's condition improved for the time being.
That is, the previous turbulence of time and space has passed.
"Why does the magic in my body riot when the space-time turbulence you are talking about happens?" Márquez still wanted to ask Merlin about that.
"The reason is complicated...... Merlin's voice sounded a little weak, "it's pretty much ...... Because your body is getting closer and closer to the rune creatures, so ...... You shouldn't have known that, at least now......"
"Also, what was the rune that flashed in front of my eyes before? I still crave this kind of thing in the back of my mind......"
"Let me finish answering them one by one!" Merlin didn't know why he was so frustrated, "Why is this happening at this juncture...... It shouldn't be......"
"So, why does my body become like this when it happens in the so-called turbulence of space-time......." Márquez repeated his question.
"Flesh creatures are not affected by ordinary space-time interference, and at most they are transported to various planes. But runic creatures are different, we don't have accurate forms. To be precise, our essence is composed of rune laws, and to disturb time and space is to disturb the laws, and it will naturally become like this. But half of our bodies are made of flesh and blood, so we won't be completely affected......"
"So the rune-like part of the body started to riot...... And what are those runes? ”
"I'm even drawn to these runes," Merlin thought after a pause, "these fragments should be ripped out of the laws of runes, a powerful force that a creature instinctively craves. I guess it's something like drinking water when you're thirsty. All in all, this situation is very rare, and even if it happens later, our body has already adapted to it, and it will not happen again. ”
"Hopefully." Márquez manipulated the boy's body and followed Sheldon step by step, and he still had no impression of the spire in front of him.
Merlin could feel a vast amount of naked magic buried at the bottom of this magic tower, and even if he didn't actively absorb it, the pores of his whole body involuntarily tried to open, inhaling every wisp of magic in the air into his body at a speed close to plundering.
"By the way, I can use magic now, what will happen if I engrave the magic pattern again......" Márquez was a little scared, could something go wrong with his body......
"It's like pouring water into a huge empty pool, but I'm afraid that there won't be enough of it." Merlin was quite confident, "To put it bluntly, the working principle of the Impregnation Tower is to force a stream of magic that does not belong to you into the body, opening up a small magic circuit that allows people to use magic. This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is definitely something to be cherished. ”
This nightmare must be uneasy and kind. Márquez could feel the feeling of eagerness coming from the other side of his soul...... No, I should say that I was extremely happy...... Or a joy that confirms the established result......
Because of the previous policy introduced by King Charles, there were far fewer people entering the Impregnation Tower to engrave the magic pattern. The door of this magic tower is even more crowded. Sheldon led Merlin through the door, only to see a man on duty sitting boredly in a chair drinking tea and reading a book.
"To engrave the magic pattern?" The man with Erlang's legs raised his eyebrows and yawned heavily, "How old is the child?" What is your name? ”
"It's four years old." Sheldon said, "Marin Márquez. ”
"Márquez? I think I've heard the name. Let's fill out a form first, and after filling out the form, you can go to the cabin inside to engrave the magic pattern. The man glanced at Sheldon deeply, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "I'll lead the little guy to the engraving cabin first, the pen is here, fill it in yourself." The handling fee is one gold coin, and there is no charge for privately minted coins. ”
"I see." Sheldon nodded, quickly took the parchment paper handed by the man, and quickly filled it out.
The information filled in above is only the most basic information about Merlin, and it should not reveal too much, and Sheldon does not hide most of it, only slightly modifying his name and age.
If Merlin's body grows faster, then his age will have to be modified a little more. This little guy looks innocent, but in fact he knows a lot, and he will not be "old and old".
"Just let me take a look at it." When the man came back, the magic glow in his eyes had not yet dissipated, "I just helped your son do a magic test a little, and his potential is very good." ”
"This is my son," Sheldon puffed up, "and naturally it won't let me down." This is the gold coin, can I go in and see my son? ”
"Yes, but don't get too close, or you might be affected by the magic in the Engraving Chamber." The man reminded, "As soon as you enter the engraving cabin and close the hatch, it will start on its own, and no additional operation is required." Remember, you don't need to do anything extra, or there's a good chance of accidents. ”
Sheldon nodded, and entered the engraving chamber in front of him with anticipation, Merlin stood quietly in front of the engraving chamber with an expectant expression.
"Come in, go in......," the corners of Sheldon's mouth couldn't help but rise, "let them see how you shine!" ”
Merlin didn't expect Sheldon to say such a thing, he smiled and nodded, stepping into the tall, gurgling chamber.
"Sheldon loves you." Nightmare suddenly said, "He loves you." ”
"I know." Márquez felt the soft touch of his body, and the fabric in the cabin automatically fit his body.
Buzz –
The cabin suddenly lit up with a series of illusory magical brilliance! This is the purest magic born from the [Primordial Runes] underground, and they are flowing down every thread of cloth into every pore around Merlin's body!
It's like pouring a bowl of rice the size of a convoy into a person's mouth!
Ordinary people can only eat three bites and two bites at most, but Merlin's body has been transformed by nightmares, and as long as he comes, he can suck in as much as he wants!
Sheldon watched in amazement as Merlin continued to inhale glowing clouds of pure magic into his body with ease, without any stopping momentum at all!
Merlin is simply an unrestrained, nonsensical glutton!
"That's right...... Now with enough magic, it is possible to further transform your body...... That's right! ”
The nightmare's soul actually passed through Merlin's body, turning into a ball of light the size of a thumb, and directly sucked the magic light beads in the cabin into his soul!
His soul was like a converter, sucking in magic and spitting out bands of sparkling light that twisted and pierced into Merlin's skin!
"Haha! Hahaha! That's right...... That's fate...... This is time, this is ...... I! It's you too! ”
Merlin's eyes widened, the burning pain caused by the bands of light piercing his skin didn't even provoke his struggle, and he was speechless in astonishment!
The image that appears inside the soul light ball that belongs to the nightmare...... It turned out to be his own face! 100 percent, no different from your own face! It was Merlin Márquez's smiling face!
"Ah...... Ahhh ”
The next second, the sharp pain forced him to distract. Merlin clutched his arm in pain, and the scorching bands of light burned his skin into colorful blisters, and the blisters were spreading wildly all around him!
In an instant, the blood was in the frantically running engraving cabin, and countless swirling rune light bands exploded one after another!
"Hurry up, hurry up and call someone! Call people! Sheldon cried out in horror, he didn't dare to force the hatch open, "what kind of accident is this...... Come on! My son, he-"
"No...... Oh no! This...... That's impossible! The man's equally frightened cry came from outside the door, "It's impossible to ......"
Sheldon hurriedly ran towards the door: "Hurry up, my son he-"
The gravitational pull of the earth, right here at this moment, has disappeared! Sheldon actually felt a sense of vanity under his feet, and hurriedly grabbed the handrail beside him and moved forward.
Pillars of extremely penetrating silvery-white light suddenly shot into the windows of the Dipping Tower, and the powerful magic mixed with them even suffocated the two of them!
"The magic of the [Primordial Demon Pattern]...... Dried up...... No! Filled again....... No! Demon Moon! How can it be! ”
Sheldon narrowed his eyes and used all his strength to move out of the gate of the Impregnated Tower, only to see the man on duty lying on the ground with a convulsive face, as if he was listening to the judgment of Heaven on him—
Why is there a huge magic moon in the sky! The huge pressure shone down along the endless moonlight, and the magic moon that was spinning rapidly in the sky kept changing colors, and even continued to expand!
The top of the Impregnation Tower tried its best to absorb the magic power flowing from the Demon Moon, and this strong and mellow torrent of magic instantly refined the tower's body into a complete silver-white color!
And the next moment, the magic power on the surface of the impregnated tower was actually sucked away by something inside the tower, and the magic moon in the sky became even more huge!
He...... Falling! The Demon Moon and the tip of the Impregnation Tower are connected!
In an instant, all of Sheldon's consciousness vanished, and a fierce silver light enveloped him. His body fell forward, but it stopped leaning forward, and he could not fall down for another half a minute.
This is no longer in the category of the disappearance of gravity...... It's just eerily quiet.
Time...... It's as if it's been stopped by a big invisible hand.
