Chapter 493: Merlin's Past
On the dark and bloody battlefield, there is still a strong smell of blood on the battlefield after the war.
A little girl is walking on the battlefield, looking around for something useful, maybe food, maybe something else, that can be exchanged for food.
This was not an easy task, because soon, it was likely that the army would attack again, and she would probably die in the chaos.
But at this time the little girl had to do this, because she had not eaten for three days. The battle lasted for three days, and after three days, both sides left behind countless corpses and temporarily retreated, and it was not known when the fight would start again.
As for the reason for the fight, in short, it was not food.
For those noble lords who are high up, food is just the simplest satisfaction. They will always wage war for glory, fame, dignity and so on. Anyway, in the end, it's always those ordinary soldiers who die.
For them, war was no different from the fighting of animals in the Colosseum, except that the nobles occasionally took it upon themselves.
Of course, the nobles are protected, and there is also an agreement between the two sides that the nobles cannot die, and even if they fail, they will be returned, but some ransom will be spent.
As for ordinary soldiers, there is no such good luck.
As for people like the little girl, there is even less hope, even if the soldiers kill her, they are not guilty.
Suddenly, the little girl heard footsteps.
She immediately pulled away the corpse on the ground, hid inside, and covered her figure with the corpse. There was only the sound of one person's footsteps. I don't think I'm here to collect the body. So hiding under the corpse, it shouldn't be found either.
That's what she thought.
But. The person who came came to her very lightly and pushed away the corpse.
The little girl couldn't help but tremble with fear.
OK. It wasn't a man, it was a woman, a nun.
"Let's go. ”
The nun said.
"Do what?"
The little girl asked timidly.
"Go fill your stomach. Aren't you hungry?"
The nun asked.
The little girl shook her head and nodded again.
However, in the end, it was to follow.
In a dilapidated church, statues of the Son are in tatters.
The nun walked over and tore the cross off the wall, startling the little girl.
"Alright, the firewood is here. ”
The nun said. He smashed the cross to the ground and shattered into many pieces.
The nun smiled and said, "Do you know that the flame of the cross is very good for making soup but not for roasting meat? Because the wood needed for the cross is relatively strong, it burns very slowly, and the soup is the best, but although the barbecue is not suitable, it is made into charcoal. The barbecue was also very good. ”
"Sturdy?" the little girl was speechless as she looked at the cross on the ground that had broken into countless pieces, and that cross was originally a large person, much larger than the little girl.
"I'm a little bit stronger. The nun said with a smile.
Soon. The nun and the little girl made the cross into firewood, and the nun found another pot and began to boil the soup. It was a pot of fish soup.
Soon, the fish soup emits an enticing aroma.
The little girl couldn't help but lick her tongue.
She is only seven or eight years old now. Although I have experienced a lot, I still can't hide myself.
The nun looked at the little girl very gently. "What's your name?"
"Merlin. ”
"Don't you have a name?"
"I don't know, probably not. I didn't even know who my parents were, and I certainly didn't know what they expected of me. ”
Merlin said.
"Oh, then eat, after drinking the fish soup, your spirit will be better, and your body will be restored. The nun said.
"Can I really drink it?" asked Little Merlin.
"Absolutely. ”
The nun replied.
After receiving a positive reply, Xiao Meilin excitedly immediately picked up the spoon and scooped the soup and began to drink, but she only drank the soup but did not eat the meat, because she felt that this was the nun's fish soup, and it was already good to give her the soup, and the fish should be given to the nun.
Sure enough, the nun began to take out the pieces of fish, although she couldn't eat them, but Xiao Meilin still yearned for it and looked at the nun with envy.
"Alright. The nun fiddled with it for a while, picking out all the bones in the flesh. Then the nun spooned the fish and handed it to Little Merlin's mouth. "Eat. ”
"Sister Nun, won't you eat?" asked Little Merlin.
"I don't need to. Because I've already eaten it. ”
"I haven't eaten it yet. ”
"I've already eaten it. The nun said firmly.
Xiao Meilin had to open her mouth, the fish was very delicious, and she felt strong when she ate it, she was tired, but now she felt energetic, and she didn't feel any pain from the injury, and there was a feeling that she was recovering quickly.
The nun looked at it and said with great satisfaction, "Yes." So, the feeding began.
Xiao Meilin, who had never had such an experience, could only passively accept it, eating the fish bite by bite, waiting for the nun to pick out the fish bones and feed the fish.
And those fish bones that fell to the ground had a jewel-like luster.
"Sister Nun, what's your name?" asked Merlene.
The nun hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "I have forgotten my name, what it is." ”
"Forgot your name?"
"It's been too long. The nun laughed, as if she were just joking.
Therefore, Merlin didn't care.
It wasn't until much later that she finally experienced that feeling.
"However, everyone calls me the Witch of Infinity. ”
The nun's voice sounded faintly in the church.
......
"Merlin, congratulations, from today onwards, you are an infinite witch. ”
The nun smiled at Merlin. However, there is a long sword on her body, and blood is pouring out.
At this time, Mei Lin is no longer a child, but a girl.
"I'm sorry, I can't wait. This kind of posture must be very good, very beautiful. The nun said appreciatively.
"You. ”
"I'm sorry I lied to you. In fact, this is prepared from the beginning, starting with the fish soup given to you, which is not an ordinary fish soup, but a mermaid's fish soup, after eating, you begin to have a strong recovery power, but if you are given too much, it will also make you unable to face the sun. ”
"Why?"
"It's so that you can withstand infinite power. The nun said. "You are my chosen heir. It's up to you to inherit this power. And I can die in peace. ”
"Why die?"
"Because I'm not as strong as you, I chose you from the beginning, and I wanted to live in such a desperate situation to see you act on the battlefield. You'll be able to keep it up. Because haven't you always been lonely? You want to be alone without friends. I've never seen such a strong girl. So, even if it's infinite life, infinite loneliness, you must be able to bear it. And I, I can't do it anymore. ”
"Thank you, I finally met my terms, and in the end I finally understood what I wanted. ”
The nun spoke, her voice getting quieter.
Finally, her breathing stopped.
Then, countless rays of light began to emanate from her body, and then, gathered on Merlin's body.
Infinite power, immortal power.
Finally, Merlin was given an infinite life.
It was the power she had hoped for.
With such power, she can do whatever she wants.
However, the longer this life lasts, the more empty the heart feels, as if there is a huge void, as if something is calling to you, and the emptiness in your heart is waiting to be filled.
So, Merlin finally began to search, wanting to find something that could fill the emptiness in her heart.
So, when she met Arthur, she began to teach Arthur to grow.
So, she told Arthur about the story of the fairy knight and guided Arthur to complete the story.
Her purpose is indeed to complete the story, but more importantly, to fill the void in her heart.
All she wanted was to find a successor. (To be continued......)
