Tribute to the Demon King

But Merlin sighed, and his expression suddenly became a little sad: "It's really... the age of gods is coming to an end, and the age of goblins is coming to an end. Although the age of humans will come next, the age of humans will always It will end one day..."

"Oh?"

Darius raised his eyebrows, and immediately jumped up to Merlin's side and asked, "Hey...then can you see it. What will happen when the age of mankind is over?"

But Merlin replied without hesitation: "Once the human civilization wrapping around the planet is over, it will move to the celestial body. In that case, the next era will be the era of consciousness."

"……What?"

"The age of consciousness...you don't understand this?"

Merlin replied kindly: "It's not difficult to understand. Creatures that cannot convey meaning without a body will only be outdated, and there is no need for your mind to be limited to a human body. As a magician, you still have to learn one, and you have to learn more about it." Open-minded and more receptive to new ideas.”

"...No, I understand the truth."

The corner of Darius' mouth twitched.

But I was taught by the magicians of the Age of Gods to be good at accepting new ideas...

But if it was Merlin, he would probably easily accept something like the "Age of Consciousness".

After all, Merlin is half human and half succubus.If he was born as a child of a succubi, he would only want to play in the spiritual world... But at the same time, the part of being a human made him think that he does not need to rely on other people's dreams for survival, but can use his own dreams as nourishment Activities, is a very lucky thing.

Darius' attunement was not a failure.All of Merlin's experiences so far were literally burned into his mind.Although it was a little blurry, as if it was covered with a layer of cloth, but if you want to call it, you can clearly see all of Merlin's experiences.

Even with that background, she doesn't hate humans.It can even be said that he likes humans to the point where it feels unnatural.

If it was someone else... No, even Darius himself, if he found out that his past had been seen clearly, he would definitely be angry.

Although he was not furious, he must have no good looks towards that person.

...but Merlin was different.

Meilin clearly knew that the thief who stole his past was right in front of him, but he couldn't help but not get angry at all. Instead, he was very close to him as if he saw an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

If he didn't know that this person was the venerable sage, the magician Merlin, Darius would even wonder if he had met a friend who was looking for some kind of deal...

But in fact, what Merlin is longing for is only "the result left by human beings".

If contemporary affairs can grasp almost all situations and can see all the ins and outs, the world to him is no different from a painting, which can be seen at a glance.

But even if every detail has been clarified, the "painting" called human society is still worth seeing.But the more interesting the painting was, the more alienated Merlin felt when he couldn't participate in it.

"This painting is beautiful... But, I have no interest in the content of this painting and the joys and sorrows of the people who made this painting, and I can't find any value that I can recognize."

As if he knew what Darius was thinking, Merlin answered naturally and directly.

Clearly unable to understand the content of the painting, but feel beautiful.

Merlin himself felt that this was a bit too much, but that was something that could not be changed.Because the succubus is a creature with such values—compared with the content of the dream, the nutritional value provided by the dream is more critical.

"I survive by eating dreams. Although I personally hope to taste the dreams of happiness, from the point of view of the succubi, the nutritional value of nightmares is much higher than that of good dreams. Happiness and love are better than despair, but they must be To overcome a test that is several times more difficult than cheap despair..."

Merlin was rambling and talking nonsense, while he was continuing to march towards the boundless wilderness, he was suddenly grabbed by Darius.

In front of Merlin, a gate made of rough stones suddenly appeared. Behind the gate was a wilderness that was no different from this place.

The style of the stone gate reminds people of the huge stone gate formed by ring rocks on the British Isles.

Darius looked carefully, and there was only one sentence engraved on the door.

"...Innocent people can pass?"

He repeated the content on the stone gate in a low voice, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Author's message:

It's updated... (weakly)

Today I went to the bank to do face recognition, to do credit registration or something... In short, I ran around all day in a mess, and today there is only one update... The nest is already trapped in a ball (shaking)

good night kids...

Chapter 130 VII The Tower of Closure

— Only the innocent pass through.

Darius stared at the words engraved on the stone door, and gradually felt a chill down his spine.

Those words seemed to flow in front of him, and a strong sense of dizziness injected into his consciousness.

He subconsciously wanted to step forward, but suddenly Merlin grabbed his arm.

"……Well."

Darius' arm was jerked violently, and at the same time he felt the crackling of his arm joints that had not been exercised for a long time, he immediately woke up from the dream.

At this moment, he felt that his back was soaked with sweat.

He turned around, but saw that Merlin who had been smiling all the time was staring at him blankly... His eyes were very complicated, and there was a strange light in them.

"What did you hear, Darius?"

"...I didn't hear anything."

Darius was a little flustered, he hesitated and then decided to tell the truth: "But I feel it calling me..."

"Then it wasn't you calling, boy."
