Ivus didn't expect that Merlin would be met at this promotion ceremony.

As a half-dream demon, Merlin is half of the bloodline beyond the path, so he is proficient in the art of ritual; He was also a mage and eventually became an apostle of Wai Zhe.

But when it comes to the establishment of Avalon, Merlin is still inseparable.

Ivas even told the students the story of Merlin and Vivien, the fairy of the lake, who fell in love and killed each other.

At the same time, the Holy Sword temporarily stored in Aihuas's hand, the Red-hilted Sword, was also sealed by Merlin. The establishment of the Temple of Silver and Tin, the Eye of Avalon, and several other heirloom artifacts are also related to Merlin.

From that point of view...... Merlin's importance to Avalon is even higher than that of "Gawain", who presided over the promotion ceremony for Ivus before.

However, Ivas had more urgent things to say to Merlin right now......

"Don't worry."

Merlin reached out and touched Ivus's forehead.

Even though he has become an apostle of the Nine Pillars God, he doesn't seem to be serious at all. He had no aura of majesty as a god at all, and still looked like a human being—even if he had never been human before he became an apostle.

The legendary mage, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a sharp sword at his waist, smiled and said, "I know you have something to say...... So I didn't arrive late today, but got here early. That's why I brought you here in advance.

"Don't worry. None of them will come until the end of our conversation. ”

…… It turns out that I was the first to be pulled by the examiner by cheating?

Ivas breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then felt a little inexplicably lost.

It turns out that I am not that strong......

"Aren't you a dream demon?"

Ivas first asked rhetorically, "If you have something to say, why don't you just look for me in your dreams?" ”

"That's easy to leave evidence. I am now an apostle of the great sage, and it is inconvenient for me to take care of the affairs of Arthur, and it is easy for me to be truthful and easy to be hunted down. Besides, you don't have to pull me down in a ritual...... If I came to you myself, wouldn't I find Banga for myself? ”

Merlin said with a smile, looking like a fox: "In comparison, the dream world is safer. No one can peek into what's going on in the promotion ceremony...... With a slight time difference, there's no safer place than here. ”

The apostle seems to be in trouble, too......

The thought crossed his mind for a moment.

But Ivas quickly dispelled the thoughts in his mind and went straight to the point: "Do you remember the Shadow of Avalon ritual that you once constructed?" It was the resurrection ritual prepared for Lancelot I. ”

He had wanted to remind Merlin that something had gone wrong with the ritual.

As a result, Merlin pondered for a moment, but showed a free and sunny smile: "Sorry, I forgot." It doesn't matter anyway. ”

“…… That's Lancelot's resurrection ritual! ”

Ivus was a little shocked: "Can you forget this?" ”

If something goes wrong, won't Lancelot just be able to resurrect him?

If you fail to fake your death, you will directly become a real death. That's a big job.

Tragedy, Lancelot I, the pioneer of Avalon's traditional arts and intangible cultural heritage of suspended animation, died in his first performance......

Ivas suddenly realized that this Merlin didn't seem to be very reliable.

He explained in more detail, trying to awaken Merlin's memory: "'It only takes the blood of twenty-one Durak who died of murder to resurrect the ancestors.'" He will descend into his own body once more, wielding the holy sword Arondaite, awakened by blood and unsealed'. Now that Avalon had advanced the ritual to the final stage, the number of victims had reached twenty, and only one person was left to complete it. ”

"Oh-"

Merlin dragged a long note and made a sudden statement: "I seem to remember." But isn't that good? Is there any problem here? ”

"The problem is that Miss Vivien tampered with the ritual you left behind. The connection of this ritual is now incorrectly pointed to Shadow Tensi. Once the ritual is successfully initiated, it is likely that it will not be Lancelot Du Lac who will be resurrected, but the queen of the Shadow Nation. ”

"Don't worry, it won't."

Merlin smiled and said, "Tianji didn't come to the material realm so easily. Otherwise, it's not the foreigners you have to worry about, but Xiong Tianji. ”

"It's different. There may be the participation of the Celestial Division in this ceremony. He has a ritual that pulls the great beings of the dream realm to the material realm. ”

Ivas no longer cares about the secrecy of information. Although he couldn't explain where he got this information, he was able to meet Merlin once, and he still hoped that Merlin would solve the problem quickly.

Even if you can't fix the bug, at least shut down the ceremony first-

Hearing this, Merlin finally became a little more serious.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Ouroboros?" ”

"Yes!"

Washton was delighted - it was a lot less trouble to be able to explain the Ouroboros Ritual to Merlin.

"Heh," Merlin just smiled, "I won't ask you why you knew about this ancient ritual...... Do you really think that Vivienne woman can modify my ritual without a trace, so that it can run silently without any mistakes, using the conditions I have set before, and without a teacher, just enough to meet the effect of the Ouroboros ceremony? At the same time, the intensity of the ritual was high enough to pull the Shadow Celestial Division down, and the ritual was also approved by the Ring Celestial Division......

"Don't forget, she is the fairy of the lake on the path of love, and she knows nothing about the path of transcendence."

Hearing Merlin's understatement, Ivas was slightly stunned.

He reacted quickly: "You mean...... This matter has something to do with the Ring of Heavens? ”

"I didn't say anything. It's all your own guess. I am not responsible for these statements. ”

Merlin didn't drag his feet and used a one-click triple link.

Washton's expression became subtle.

Didn't you just say that you had forgotten about it a long time ago......

For some reason, Merlin gave Ivus a sense of Microft's déjà vu. Although the two have different paths, different races, different personalities, and seem to have completely different weights...... However, the unattainable slippery feeling is so similar.

But if according to Merlin's meaning, the problem with the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual may be related to the Celestial Division.

…… Does Lancelot know about this? What about the crown?

No, the Crown Lord should not know. If the Lord had known, he would have reminded Sophia.

If the crown lord didn't know, why would Merlin know? Or did he know it but didn't tell the crown?

Thinking of this, Washton realized - it wasn't Merlin who knew that this matter had something to do with the Celestial Division.

I'm afraid it's because Merlin didn't fully believe Ivus's words from the very beginning. He was subtlely wary of Ivus.

What he said later was based on reasoning based on "what Ivas said was true". In other words, he does the same thing as Sherlock.

Although he expressed a "this statement has nothing to do with me" attitude, it seems to imply that this is the case with Ivus. But Merlin didn't say dead, so if he guessed wrong, he could say to Ivus innocently, "I told you everything, I didn't say anything......

Can't guess what he's going to do.

What an old fox......

Ivus felt like he had learned another trick.

"At least," added Ewass, "Mr. Merlin is responsible for the affairs of Wolfram, the prince of giants, right?"

"Back then, you said you wanted to keep him. Now that he's escaped, he escaped from prison in the prison you designed...... It's causing a lot of trouble for Avalon now. ”

Although the regular army has already been dispatched. Ivus added inwardly.

Merlin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help......"

"Exactly?" Ivas wanted a definitive answer.

"You'll naturally know when the time comes, will I still lie to you? Heck, it's not early. I'd better let those people in. ”

Merlin said this, and suddenly disappeared behind Ivus.

When he reappeared, he turned into a huge stone sculpture and appeared in the field.

- Not a black-haired young man, but a gray-haired old man.

Before Ivas could complain, a newcomer appeared on his right side.
