A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

"Merlin." From the boy's mouth, a name suddenly came out that Yunieff had not expected. "Merlin Ambrosius, like you, is a wizard."

As he spoke, he took another look at his current appearance and said, "Of course, he is just a living soul now."

Yunieff couldn't help but have some doubts. Although there was nothing surprising in this apparently magical place, the name Merlin still made him not believe it so easily.

"Merlin? King Arthur's Merlin?" he asked.

"Merlin" said: "Exactly." He looked at Yunivore without changing his expression, and the light reflected in his amber pupils was as clear and ancient as amber.

"You must have doubts." He said, "But before that, I have to ask, how many years is it now? As a soul, I have been sleeping for a long time."

Junifer named a year.

"Has it been this long? How is Great Britain?" Merlin asked.

"If you mean King Arthur's Great Britain... that's dead," said Junifer. "Now it's the Plantagenets."

Merlin didn't seem surprised by this, nor did he sigh, just lost in thought.

After a while, he said: "Sorry, this state is very suitable for being in a daze, so I accidentally ignored that there were people around."

"What is your current form?" Yunieff has been concerned about it from the beginning. This special form looks like a ghost but not a ghost.

"Souls," Merlin said.

"I think it's a little different from a ghost?" Univer asked.

"A ghost is an incomplete soul. There is a price to pay for staying in the world after death, which is to make a deal with the God of Death," Merlin said. "But I am complete now because I can not be summoned by the God of Death in this city. .”

"Sorry, I have a lot of confusion? What is this city?" Yunieff asked.

"The Lost City," Merlin said.

Next came another story. Since Merlin told it in very detail, Yunifer summarized it in his mind, as follows.

It turns out that in the wizarding war that separated the moon from the earth at the end of the Magic Age, this city was one of the main battlefields, or in other words, it was the magic fortress or magic fortress called "Olympus".

In that war, all the powerful wizards who could be called "gods" perished, and only this city of weapons remained.

This city possesses the power of the Broken Star.

The reason why Merlin is here is actually an accident.In his later years, he was deceived and imprisoned in an oak tree by Vivian, one of the fairies in the lake. It was a fusion magic that turned Merlin's body into a part of the oak tree and made it lose its magic power.

Originally, he was probably going to die of old age, but an epiphany allowed him to understand the secret of the soul leaving the body, so he got rid of the hopeless body and escaped.

The body that lost its soul soon became necrotic, and Merlin's soul became homeless.

"I wandered around for three days, and then I encountered death." Merlin said. "I was sleeping in the dodo's nest, and a tall, thin guy wearing a black cloak came over."

The God of Death gave him two ways, to return to the other world with him, or to pay the price to stay in this world.

The price is the death of emotions and characteristics. To put it simply, the things you are best at will gradually become less good, and the things you are most attached to will gradually become numb.

"I ran away," Merlin said. "Because it was the first time I saw Death, and I wanted to see if Death could find me again if I hid."

Then, the next day, while Merlin was blowing bubbles in Naga's cave, the God of Death in black robes walked in from outside the cave.

Gu Fei

"You can't escape," Death said. "The rules came into effect from the moment I saw you."

"I'm more concerned about how you found me." Merlin asked.

He didn't expect to get the answer so easily, but the God of Death said quite honestly: "Your soul is overflowing."

In understandable terms, it is like a drop of red ink falling into water and it will disperse automatically.Until nothing.

Merlin was very sensitive to the fact that if the soul would naturally escape, it would be repeating the work of the God of Death.

"Are you collecting souls?"

Death did not speak.

Merlin escapes again.

Perhaps because he was transformed into an oak tree and imprisoned for many years, after his epiphany, his soul seemed to have an extremely flexible nature, not only able to pass through walls (ordinary ghosts can also do this), but also It can also host other organisms.

What follows is a long hide-and-seek game between Merlin and Death.

"After the second time, He always came with a sickle." Merlin said, "But I can still run away, why should I run? Because I think it is fun to prevent others from succeeding, especially some powerful beings .”

Merlin had a witty smile on his face.

He found that living in a biological body could reduce the spillage of the soul, but it could not completely prevent it. As time passed, his soul age gradually shrank, from a bad old man with white hair and a long beard like Dumbledore, to You become younger quickly at the rate of one year old.

Going from a centenarian to a twenties is a good change, but then, it’s not so good.

Finally, Merlin remembered the legendary lost city he had heard from Vivian, and ran over to give it a try. After some exploration, the soul lodged and guided the deep-sea octopus (through the illusion of making food) and found it.

"Yes, that's the one you've seen before." Merlin said, "Cthulhu is actually quite well-behaved, but he is easily awakened due to his age, and his temper is inevitably bad. Moreover, it is also my alarm clock."

"Because I was only six years old when I found this place." Merlin said, "You know, children like to sleep the most."

Junifer accepted that Merlin's experience made sense from a magical point of view.

From this point of view, Merlin is kinder and calmer than expected, and has no airs, perhaps because of his young age.

It was the name he gave the octopus that sounded so creepy.

"So, how can we get out of here?" Yunieff asked.

"Are you leaving just now?" Merlin asked.

"Something needs to be taken care of," Yunieff said.

Merlin tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's right. People who are alive always have many things to do. It was the same when I was alive."

"Is there anything you can do?" Yunieff asked.

"The principle here is that you can only get in but not get out. Although it is difficult to get in, you basically can't get out. Otherwise, you can't isolate the outside world." Merlin said.

Junifer touched the key of the forest.

In this case, he can't save Cruise.

He understood his own heart clearly. After living for ten years, it was difficult for him to simply regard this place as a virtual fragment.
