Chapter 2 Lingjiu: The overflowing fragrance of flowers

Sheldon is not going to work today. He's going to set up his and Merlin's dwelling a little bit today, and by the way, he will teach the children some magical knowledge as is customary. Sheldon's "easy to understand" is not really easy to understand, at least for the average child.

Of course, for Merlin, both in terms of the total amount of magic power and the level of intelligence, they all kill ordinary children in seconds. After all, the amount is small every day, and even if it is difficult, Merlin will eat it thoroughly. It's really not good and there is the help of nightmares, and nightmares that look at problems from another perspective are really a good helper.

Sheldon and Merlin went out to buy some groceries and furniture for practical decoration, and asked the seller to deliver them to his residence. It's been almost a month since the last incident in the City of Motherhood, and both Sheldon and Prilius have received a large prize from the Mercenary Bazaar in recognition of their achievements.

When Sheldon took Merlin to check his savings from the bank, he always wondered if he had come to an account that didn't belong to him. Because the deposit is now twice as much as the last time I came to check the bank.

What is the concept of doubling? Sheldon's previous salary was not low, and under the accumulation of these few years, he already had a lot of wealth, and he could even allow an ordinary person to live comfortably in the imperial capital Vatican, which was quite expensive, for a lifetime. Although the wealth he has now is not as good as that of those wealthy businessmen, he has also thrown the average high-income person into the middle of nowhere.

Of course, Plylius got a lot of money, but it was only a lot, that is, about one-tenth of what Sheldon got, after all, Sheldon was the main hero in this case......

Merlin likes all forms of flowers, and Sheldon naturally dotes on a little more flower-style furniture. Although he had an idea in his head of "what kind of flowers and furniture do big men use", he still smiled and agreed. It doesn't cost much either.

"I still can't understand why humans do things that have nothing to do with their livelihoods...... "Nightmare Merlin spoke to Márquez, "bells and whistles, I should say." ”

"It's beautiful, I just saw that the flowers were beautiful, so I bought them." Márquez said stubbornly.

"Is there something irreversible wrong with your brain? Or did Hiroshi and Moxi cause a subtle change in your consciousness? Nightmare's words showed no mercy, "Wouldn't you feel sick when you saw yourself surrounded by flowers in your bedroom?" ”

"Why do you feel nauseous, you're so strange." Merlin was puzzled and said, "Aren't all flowers beautiful?" ”

"Then you'll find out when you go back and see. I don't comment too much on that. Nightmare retracted into a small corner of herself, "You get sick when you watch too much repetitive stuff, from a human perspective." I'm a nightmare, but I'm also seeing things through a human lens now. ”

Because there was basically nothing in Sheldon's residence, the man aggressively asked the sellers to install the furniture directly in the bedroom, so that as soon as they entered the door, they could feel the "breath of life" in their faces. The breath of life full of flowers.

"One of the spells I'm going to teach you today is very mysterious, a spell that even most ordinary people can't reach." Sheldon and Merlin had lunch together after purchasing, "It doesn't have any lethal power, but its functionality almost surpasses most of the existing spells. Little one, are you looking forward to it? ”

"Hmm...... Time limit...... Treat. Merlin's cheeks were full of food, and I guess this answer was quite perfunctory.

"Uh...... "Otherwise, don't ask Merlin this kind of question when he is eating in the future, so as not to have such a very embarrassing situation."

When they returned home, an even bigger "surprise" awaited them. Sheldon unscrewed the doorknob of the living room, and a floral scent so thick that it could form a solid white mist washed directly into the noses of the two of them.

The two of them were choked and coughed loudly, colorful pollen rushed out of the bedroom, and a continuous stream of flowers gurgled out of the cracks in the door.

Oh yes, for every piece of furniture they buy, the enthusiastic and generous sellers will stuff a bouquet of flowers specially planted in front of their store, probably because they have bought too much, and the petals have already burst out of the bedroom. The people of Vatican are so fond of flowers that most of the streets are named after them, and people have developed a unique flower language for each flower, which expresses their good expectations for life.

Now it may be the case that the good expectations that appear in the living room have overflowed. Excessive expectations can only be a burden. And so many flowers are undoubtedly a burden for the two.

Sheldon twitched the corners of his mouth and snapped open the bedroom door. It's full of flowers, and it seems that these shops don't hesitate to sell their good wishes. The only thing they need to think about now is how to get their feet down, and the flowers even cover the floor of the bedroom, and as long as they step on it, it is estimated that some of these expectations will turn into fragrant mud.

"We ...... I'll get rid of the flowers first. Sheldon pulled Merlin aside and snapped his fingers, and all the flowers in it burst out of the doorway like a volcanic eruption, and all of them fell into the clearing in front of the door, which was almost equivalent to a wasteland.

Aha, good expectations should grow on this empty ground.

"This tastes weird...... I'm going to open the window......" Merlin squinted, his hand slowly pulling from right to left, and the opposite window slammed against the edge, and the wind swept through the room, sending the confused scent of flowers and the last few petals out of the window.

"Forgive me...... I'm a little sick to my stomach. Sheldon covered his nose and looked uneasy.

"I also feel disgusting, next time I should not send so many flowers to my home at one time." Merlin said truthfully, "I'm going to go in and take a look at the furniture, it's going to be beautiful." ”

"Come in, go in......," Sheldon sighed, the little creature used magic to be even sharper than he was, "Ugh......"

Merlin's eyes widened, and he took in the flower-like decorations that filled the room, but his face kept pulling down. As Nightmare had said earlier, a room full of flowers did make him feel a certain mental exhaustion. The boredom of toys is not enough to describe this tiredness, but it is too much pleasure and goes to the extreme, and it just becomes a nausea that all normal people do not like very much.

"You're right, Merlin......." Márquez said disappointed, "I've seen so many flowers before, and the house is full of fake flowers......"

In the end, most of the furniture was invited out of the bedroom by a laughing Sheldon.

"The spell I'm going to hand over to you today is an illusion." Sheldon thought about it for a long time before he planned to teach him the spell that was supposed to belong to Merlin.

"It's a very complicated, yet very simple spell, because it's so easy for you." Sheldon said, "Because the magic that powers this spell is all attributeless magic. ”

Most spells similar to [Gate] are powered by attributeless mana, which is one of the most likely to erode reality. Some scholars have hypothesized that one of the constituent elements of this world is the magic of no attributes, and it is the so-called "superior element" that transcends the magic of attributes.

"Illusion, as the name suggests, is a spell that can create illusions for any sapient being. As the pinnacle of attributeless mana, it has several unique properties: stackability, long-term retention, and objective authenticity. I believe that as long as you have the heart, you can definitely make a world of your own, and then include all the creatures in the world. ”

"It's actually quite simple, just imagine what you want to simulate as realistically as possible, and then imprint the magic that comes out of your body onto the medium you want."

This is not so simple for ordinary people, Sheldon's courses are all tailored for Merlin, and ordinary teachers probably won't say so, after all, human talent is limited, Merlin is not human. Ordinary people still have to work hard to find the magic circuit in their body, convert the magic power into attributeless magic little by little, and then squeeze it out like toothpaste......

There are very few people who can do it from start to finish......

"Stackability means that you can cast multiple layers of illusions at the same time and in the same place to achieve the goal that one plus one is greater than two. It's like cutting clothes, you can sew different pieces of cloth together to make the clothes a little thicker. The overridden spell will not disappear, it will still work, depending on how you want to trigger it. ”

"Long-term retention means that the technique itself can survive for a long time, as long as the basic magic of the technique is maintained. Objective reality means that the direct feelings brought by illusion are no different from those of everyday life. The important thing is the first point, just remember this. ”

"That sounds amazing."

"Of course it's amazing!" Sheldon smiled and patted Merlin on the shoulder, "This is a spell that even the whole world can deceive!" You can even create worlds full of flowers! ”

"I guess...... Neither will it do. It can be a little nauseous. ”

Sheldon only intended to teach Merlin the principles of the technique, and it was up to him how to practice it. He thought about it for a long time, whether to tell him about this spell with unlimited potential......

But even if he doesn't say it, Sheldon believes that Merlin can figure it out on his own. He hoped that Merlin would know about the spell, very much hopefully.
