The Night of the Rain Chapter 26: The Shackles (8)

Tang Haoyu staggered to the bottom of those branches, still resisting in his heart. Not long ago, he had lost consciousness, and now he was about to lose consciousness again, he was a little scared, afraid that he would not be able to return to reality, and it seemed that something had been on him, and since he woke up, he always felt as if his body had become heavier.

He touched his chest, and a thought crossed him like a needle, is it a soul?

Tang Haoyu looked up at Wang Yingyan, Wang Yingyan was also looking at him, and at the beginning he asked another question:

"If it's an awakening contract, why do you have to sign it? Doesn't awakening mean that you have signed a contract?"

The answer was that the teacher didn't know either.

Little is known about God, let alone humans, even though thousands of years have passed since miracles.

Wang Yingyan pointed to his ear at Tang Haoyu, Tang Haoyu's eyes wandered and made an OK gesture, a piece of music from the left ear spread into the whole body, the restless heartbeat gradually calmed down after hearing these ethereal sounds like a road paved with marshmallows, Tang Haoyu closed his eyes, inhaled gently with the music, and the blood in his whole body transported energy at a uniform speed under the gentle breathing, and the whole person was relaxed.

Tang Haoyu began to enjoy the process, after a piece of music stopped, another piece of music, not impatient, natural and simple, he had a feeling, he felt that he was brought to a sea of flowers by these melodies, he could smell the fragrance of flowers and the smell of the wind, his ears were thin water, the sound of the tide sliding into the river, and he vaguely saw a group of children picking up dogtail grass and laughing and chasing under the blue sky, he unconsciously hooked the outline, and his tight hands finally relaxed.

The sound of the wind penetrated his left ear, brushed his neck, the tips of his hair floated gently on his forehead, the music disappeared, and those senses that did not exist in the awakening room began to appear, Tang Haoyu opened his eyes.

This is a signal, when the music in the ear disappears, it means that he has lost the consciousness of the outside, and he has successfully entered the first step of awakening.

Tang Haoyu looked ahead, he still remembered what the teacher said, he couldn't look around, looked ahead, and walked straight into the palace.

Tang Haoyu took the first step, repeating in his mouth:

"Look ahead, go straight into the palace, look ahead, go straight into the palace, look ahead, go straight to the palace...... Directly...... Palace...... Temple ......"

He stopped, his mouth still maintained the appearance of the last 'temple', but his eyes were dazed, and his heart was even more complex and changeable, he still looked straight ahead, empty, and a few steps further was the cliff.

"This, this, this...... What do you mean? Going in the wrong direction?"

Tang Haoyu controlled his subconscious action of preparing to turn back, he was still thinking.

"Could it be that I was standing in the wrong direction in the awakening room, so I woke up from here and also stood in the wrong direction?, shouldn't I, the teacher would make such a low-level mistake?" Tang Haoyu rolled his eyes, "Maybe it's okay." ”

He closed his eyes tightly, revealing that this little question was not too much for me to be proud.

I saw him close his heels, his right foot rotated 90 degrees to the right with the left heel as the fulcrum, and then exchanged the fulcrum, neatly buckled the left foot and made a 'da' sound, he still remembered the left and right rotation of the high school training practice, he didn't expect that he could be used here after nearly three years of not doing it, as long as the angle and direction were accurate, he could not look around, and fell perfectly in the right direction, he repeated the action again, and the smug smile became more and more obvious.

But when he opened his eyes again, the pride became speechless......

It was still empty, this time he couldn't control his subconscious looking around, there was nothing around him, only the white ...... Sky?

Tang Haoyu shook his head, the place he was in now was like a cone-shaped stone pillar floating in mid-air, just like the place where the immortals lived described in the fantasy novel, he was a little overwhelmed, and it was completely different from what the teacher said.

"Won't you...... Am I going to the wrong novice village? Someone else told me a full copy of the strategy to rush through the level, and I actually entered another copy with the strategy? Do you want to be so torturous!"

Tang Haoyu lay on the edge and looked down, it was still white, this is not like the sky, so high, he didn't even feel a lack of oxygen? He tried to look down from the other edges, looking for any mechanism or something, but except for the extremely smooth underfoot, like a stone slab carved from a boulder, there was nothing.

"Even if it's another dungeon, you can give something, it's nothing, and I can't find a solution to clear the customs. Tang Haoyu couldn't help but murmur.

Then he was stunned for a moment, he touched his heartbeat, steady and orderly, he felt as if something was wrong, according to usual, at this time he should be scared, nervous, afraid, scared, frightened, right, why are he so calm and calm?

He was about to sit down and think seriously, but as soon as he sat down, he stood up, his eyes were confused, what was going on!? I pinched my face, as if something was really wrong with me, and I thought seriously?

While thinking about this question, he thought of what the teacher said: If the contract awakening is successful, after coming out, he only needs to jump to return to reality.

Tang Haoyu glanced below, did not hesitate, took a few steps back, got up, opened his arms, and jumped down like a calm warrior.

Syllable!

The sound of flesh colliding with the slate slammed against the eardrums through the skull, causing a buzzing sound.

Tang Haoyu got up with pain on his face and patted his right ear.

"It's over, it's the same result I thought of when I just hesitated. ”

"You can't get out like that. "Again, someone spoke from behind.

Tang Haoyu quickly turned his head and vigilantly made a fighting posture, he looked at his hands that were clenched into fists, waved his arms and lowered the posture, this was not a movement he could make.

And in front of him, beside a low carved table of teak with a three-headed dragon, sat an old man with a white beard in tattered clothes, whose clothes seemed to be folded together in various tattered clothes, so that his skin was completely covered, and at the feet of the old man lay a cane, on the top of which was a delicately smooth snake's head.

Tang Haoyu glanced at the desktop, and there was nothing.

"The teacher said that there will be an inkstone, and there will be an old man sitting next to the inkstone, which is not like an inkstone, and the old man can't speak?"

"Are you?" asked Tang Haoyu.

"Merlin. The old man said with a kind face, smiling.

"Merlin?" Tang Haoyu repeated, the name seemed to have been seen somewhere, he rummaged through it, his eyes were surprised, "The legendary human magician in the mythology of England and Wales, the wise man, Merlin???"

"It's Merlin the Fool, not a wise man. "The old man seems to be a little dissatisfied with the word 'wise man'.

"No, isn't that a character in a mythological story?" does it really exist?" Tang Haoyu still couldn't believe it.

"If the world is not true or false, existence is a word without definition. The old man said slowly.

Tang Haoyu: "???"

It doesn't seem to have changed his IQ here.

"Forget it, I don't understand, you just said that I can't get out like this, so it means that you know how to get out?" Tang Haoyu asked directly, the top priority was to leave this copy of Merlin.

"You can't go out yet. ”

"Why?" Tang Haoyu was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, you guys, isn't it just me here?"

Merlin looked straight at him, his eyes full of years had lost their luster, but this kind of look still made Tang Haoyu take a step back.

Tang Haoyu unconsciously put his hand on his abdomen, there seemed to be something in it that was afraid, it was desperately curling up in a corner, it was afraid of the eyes of this old man?

Tang Haoyu looked at the old man and pointed to his stomach with his finger.

The old man lowered his gaze and did not answer his question.

"Okay, then why can't I leave yet?" Tang Haoyu gave up the question just now and continued to ask the previous question.

"Because my mission is not over yet. Merlin didn't answer him directly, "Everyone thinks I'm asleep, but I'm just imprisoned here." ”

"It's a story of a man who cries for a woman. Tang Haoyu sat down on the spot and said.

In Lancelot's version of the Holy Grail, Merlin is told that Merlin died of love when he met a huntress named Vivien, who was originally the Lake Elf of Northumberland. As Vivien left the hall to take her leave, Merlin suggested that King Arthur let her stay in the palace to accompany and serve the queen.

During the time when the palace was with Vivien, Merlin fell in love with her completely. Unfazed by this and fearing that Merlin would tame her with a spell, Vivien made the excuse that she would never be with Merlin until she had taught her all the magic of her life. Merlin agreed to Vivien's request without hesitation, but did not realize that she had ulterior motives to use the magic she had learned from Merlin, and instead demanded that Merlin obey her orders.

When Vivien decides to return home, Merlin is by her side. On the way, Merlin receives a vision and learns that King Arthur is in need of reinforcements due to the attack of the fairy Morgan Iglan in the distance, so he immediately takes Vivien to the rescue. The two of them hurried until it was getting dark, so they had to borrow a stone chamber that seemed to have been inhabited by a couple of lovers, and their burial mound was located in the stone chamber hall. That night, Vivien resisted Merlin's pursuits, largely fearing that the child born to Merlin would have demonic blood (Merlin was half-devilish), so she cast a spell on Merlin while he was asleep, trapping him in a sealed tomb made of boulders and escaping. Eventually, Merlin died because he couldn't get out.

"The world must not be so stupid as to believe that a magician will be trapped by someone he has taught him to use magic that he knows no better. "That's why I don't like the word wise, and I am a fool from the point of view of ordinary people, and I am nothing but a fool from the point of view of ordinary people." ”

"Indeed, wise men do not fall in love. Tang Haoyu agreed with what Merlin said.

"When I was trapped in the tomb, I had predicted the death of King Arthur, but I did not go out, because the fall of the king brought something more beautiful than the royal war, the spirit of the 'Knight of the Round Table', which is more important and gorgeous than life, it contains integrity, equality, justice, devotion, praise for the fall of our king, which is the gift of the cherry blossoms falling into the mortal world. ”

Tang Haoyu looked at the old man in front of him singing praises, but inexplicably felt that he was in pain.

"God has taken care of me, and She has given me the opportunity to be born again, about love. Merlin paused and said lightly, "I accepted his gift, but my heart never received it, so God condemned me to wait here all the rest of my life, waiting for someone to take it." ”

"Then why have you stayed here for so long, because no one has taken this ...... A gift from the gods?" Tang Haoyu said, "Before me, there should have been many people who came here, right?"

"No, it's just you, that's it. Merlin said immediately.

"Then I can get out of here if I take the gift?"

"Hmm. Merlin hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, this gift is also the contract you wanted. ”

"O'O. Tang Haoyu showed a calm expression, but he was very happy in his heart, "Then how do I take it?"

Merlin looked directly into Tang Haoyu's eyes again, there was a desire for liberation, and there was a reluctance to the shackles that imprisoned him.

"It's easy, convince me!"
