Chapter 919: Merlin's Farewell
Roarββ!!!
An angry and manic roar exploded like thunder, and seemed to be hovering rapidly around the temple.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes suddenly.
The scarlet moonlight shone through the open door of the temple and sprinkled into the dim temple, and he stared at the red moon for a long time, and slowly sat up from the ground.
He could clearly feel that his body was much lighter than before, although he did not gain muscles, he could feel an unprecedented sense of strength between his gestures, his skin seemed to have been washed by jade, warm and flexible, like a work of art.
He suddenly felt a warm and soft touch coming from the palm of his right hand.
"Are you awake? How does it feel? β
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, he saw Jia Lan sitting quietly on the threshold beside him, the hem of his dark blue robe draped on the ground like a folding fan, and his long black hair was tied up by a red rope, swaying with the wind chimes swaying outside the door.
The red moon hung in the dim sky, Jia Lan's eyes flickered, one hand held Lin Qiye's palm, and his face was a little worried.
"It's okay...... It's just that I still have some headaches. Lin Qiye shook his drowsy head, "How long have I been in a coma?" β
"Ten minutes."
Merlin in the distance, wearing a magic robe, walked slowly, looked at Lin Qiye carefully for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the seal is perfect, but your spirit has not fully recovered from the impact of the power of faith, so there will still be headaches and some dizziness." β
"It's okay, it's not serious." Lin Qiye sat on the ground and took two deep breaths.
"Really?" Merlin raised his eyebrows, walked to the threshold in front of him and sat down, "Then I'll test you with a few questions to see if you're still conscious." β
Lin Qiye was stunned.
"What is the activation method of the last magic node of the [Yan Yan Heaven Covering Technique]?" Regardless of Lin Qiye's puzzled gaze, Merlin slowly asked the first question.
[Yan Yan Heaven Covering Technique] is the top killing forbidden spell recorded in Merlin's forbidden spell secret book, and all the information about these forbidden spells was engraved in Lin Qiye's mind by the mental hospital, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
Lin Qiye only thought for a moment, and then replied: "The gravity-triggered type will automatically activate when the weight on the surface of the magic circle reaches the set value, which is similar to the principle of anti-tank mines. β
Merlin nodded slightly, and asked the second question:
"[Alfred's Aria] is the strongest single killing forbidden spell in the lightning system, what is its farthest killing range?"
"Forty-two kilometers."
"Among the sealing forbidden spells, there is an instantaneous forbidden spell that needs to calculate and arrange the star trace trajectory in advance and attract the power of the starry sky to seal, which one is it?"
"[Star Rail Coffin]."
Lin Qiye answered the three questions fluently.
The corners of Merlin's mouth rose slightly, he stood up from the threshold and patted Lin Qiye's shoulder, "It seems that you are still conscious, get in the car, you should go." β
Jia Lan helped Lin Qiye stand up from the ground, and when he heard the last sentence, Lin Qiye was stunned in place.
"We? Where to? β
"Leave Takamagahara." Merlin said calmly, "You already know the truth about Takamagahara, and I have also received the gift I gave you, and the effective time of the three spiritual magic on your body will also end......
It's time for you to go. β
"What about you? Don't you come with us? β
"Your journey is over, and my ...... It's just getting started. Merlin said with a smile.
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed tightly, "Where are you going?" β
"I can't stay with you forever, Lord Seven Nights, it will only hinder your growth." Merlin's voice was extremely gentle, "After His Excellency Nyx left, I chose to return to Olympus for revenge, and I have what I want to seek......"
"What?"
"Truth and truth."
Lin Qiye thought for a while, "Is it still a question about the nature of the world?" β
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that the reason why Merlin entered the Gods Mental Hospital was because he pursued the truth of the world, and then strayed into a different dimensional plane and was invaded by a certain existence......
Merlin sighed, "I have to admit that I can't reach the answer to that puzzle right now...... What I want to explore is another mystery, a truth that has existed in the world for an unknown number of years, but no one has unearthed. β
Merlin reached out and pointed to the scarlet blood moon above his head.
"You're going to trace the origins of the Cthulhu Mythos?" Lin Qiye opened his mouth in shock.
Merlin nodded, his eyes closed slightly, and two faint flashes of magical light dissipated, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already red!
Lin Qiye's heart trembled slightly.
The appearance of Merlin in front of him was too similar to Chen Yangrong who he saw in the body of the deep sea whale, and his red eyes reflected the shadow of the red moon, full of hideousness and pain.
The difference is that Merlin's expression is extremely calm, not as fanatical and demented as Chen Yangrong.
"You're tainted by the Red Moon?!"
"I took the initiative to pollute it, and if you want to get close to the truth, you have to listen to 'them'." Merlin pointed to his ear, "Now, I think I've heard some......"
"But ......"
Lin Qiye was about to say something, but Merlin interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'm the great god of magic and prophecy, Merlin." β
Looking at Merlin's confident and flickering eyes, Lin Qiye opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Merlin beckoned gently, and several ghostly white horses dragged the silver carriage to Lin Qiye and Jialan, Merlin opened the carriage door, took off the big hood with his right hand and put it on his chest, and bowed slightly like a gentleman:
"Your Excellency Seven Nights, let's leave it at that...... Someday, fate will arrange for us to meet again. β
Lin Qiye sighed, stepped on the carriage with one foot, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated.
"Uncle Merlin, even if you want to pursue the truth about Cthulhu, you have to leave Takamagahara, right?"
"I still have some little things, I'll leave when I'm done." Merlin smiled and said, "If you stay here, you may be affected." β
ββ¦β¦ I know. β
Lin Qiye faced Merlin, and after a moment of silence, he bowed deeply, "Uncle Merlin, have a safe journey." β
"Hmm."
Lin Qiye took Jia Lan and stepped into the silver carriage, Merlin closed the door, and with a light snap of his knuckles on the carriage, several ghostly white horses galloped up, dragging the carriage and disappearing from view.
When Lin Qiye and the two walked away, the smile on Merlin's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by unprecedented solemnity.
The moment the carriage drove away from the magic array that had hidden its aura, a roar exploded again!
Roarββ!!!
The roar approached rapidly from a distance, and the blood-colored dust flew all over the sky, and the surging killing machine swept away, rushing straight towards the departing silver carriage!
Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised the magic array in his hand, and his body turned into an afterimage, blocking in the direction where the roar was!
