5. Omen
"I'm going out for a while, maybe two to three days before I can come back."
That night, Merlin, who was about to leave home, was in the living room, instructing her three sisters.
He looked at Riven first and said to Riven:
"The Rockets and Groot are going to stay in Sulfur Harbor for a while. Those two guys seem to fall in love with the Earth. You will send them for me tomorrow. Horus will come to pick you up at that time."
"Nissa has arranged a place for those two guys to live in Sulphur Port, so if the Rockets ask you to borrow money, don't lend it, that guy is very addicted to gambling."
"Well, I'll say hello to Elsa on my behalf."
Riven, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, nodded. She knew very well what Merlin was going to do.
Merlin nodded, turned his head to look at Lorna, and he said to his green-haired sister:
"You can go and have fun with Miss Wanda, but you have to go home for dinner every day. Lan will watch you for me and don't run around with Kuiyin, do you know?"
"Hmph, I'm not a child anymore."
Lorna, who was watching the cartoon, raised her head proudly, glanced at Merlin, and stuffed a bear biscuit into her mouth, which made her bite rustle.
"It's you, Laura."
Merlin turned her head and looked at the little girl sitting beside her and quietly looked at the comic book. When the latter heard Merlin call her name, he raised his head and looked at him.
It's been a few months now, and Laura still doesn't speak
"Oh, I'm not worried about you running around, just stay at home obediently. If you have nightmares at night, go find Riven."
Merlin touched Laura's hair, and he turned his head and said to Riven:
"Can you help me watch her, okay?"
"Laura may suddenly pierce my heart while having a nightmare"
Riven reached out and pushed her glasses, and she said to Merlin:
"I'm so weak now, but I can't hide it unless you."
"Don't even think about it!"
Merlin stopped Riven's words, and he said seriously:
"The three magic weapons are very dangerous things, and no one knows what the result of using them is. The Supreme Master's seal is very mysterious. It will resist all dark magic powers, and I don't think that a mere three magic weapons can break the seal set by the Supreme Master himself."
He looked at Riven and said:
"Be good, sister, you don't need to fight now, I will protect you."
"But the Three Palaces"
Raven bit her lip and said:
"No one knows whether the Sangu will break away from the seal, I must be prepared."
"You have almost killed the son of the Three Palaces in the present world, Raven."
Merlin pointed at himself and said:
"The only existing seed of power is left in my body. Your seed of power has been sealed. Even if the third palace is out of the cage, it will be difficult for him to rely on that kind of contact to control you or hurt you."
"It's just difficult, not impossible."
Riven retorted, and Merlin looked at her eldest sister with a headache. Riven has become very quiet and calm in recent years, but that is just a superficial change. The character of this hell princess is actually the same as before, but it is just covered up under the shell of family affection.
"Wait a while, okay?"
Merlin said to Raven seriously:
"After a while, if you really don't want to be sealed again, I'll go find the Supreme Master with you."
"You're serious?"
Ruiwen raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise.
Merlin looked at his sister and sighed helplessly, saying:
"When did I lied to you? Anyway, take good care of your two sisters for me, and go into the mysterious house when you encounter danger. Gugu will help you."
After saying that, he reached out and rubbed Laura's hair, making the little girl's smooth hair mess.
He stood up, waved to his sisters, then turned the bathroom door and entered the mysterious room. He walked straight to the fireplace, and with a light wave of his fingers, the parchment placed on the shelf fell into his palm.
"Old friend."
Merlin spread the parchment in front of his eyes, and he said in a very tidy tone:
"Tell me."
"What do you want me to say?"
A quick sentence appeared on the parchment paper, and it was obvious that this guy was pretending to be stupid.
"Don't mess around, do you know what I'm asking about, what's going on with the Sand of Dreams, Sandman, and that dream world? And, is there any way to untie me and the dream world?"
Merlin said:
"I know you have a way, right?"
"have!"
Parchment says very directly:
“But it’s expensive.”
"Tell me."
Merlin looked at the parchment and sighed, saying:
"You wanted me to do what I didn't want to do, all the things I didn't want to do, Lingdie, Zhatanna, I knew it would be like this, I shouldn't have argued with you about these things at the beginning."
"Haha, you can't hide, Merlin."
New words are constantly refreshed on parchment:
"While you are chasing your destiny, on the other side of the gap, fate itself is also retreating. The harder you chase, the faster it will retreat. Do you understand? You cannot resist it, you cannot avoid it, you can only prepare for the arrival of fate. It won't be too long, no matter what the result is, the end will be almost here."
"For the sake of Lingdie and Zatanna, I will tell you something for free."
The text on the surface of the parchment quickly dissipated, and soon, new text jumped out again.
"The Sandman noticed you a long time ago. The girl Zatanna thought it was her who implicated you, but it was not. Merlin, it was you who implicated her Sandman's dream sand. If she could be stolen so casually, the dream world would have been messed up. The Sandman was very cunning. He used Zatanna to get rid of the agreed idea and used Zatanna's hand to pull you into his realm."
"I think you must be curious why you are here to let your old friends tell you."
"The Sandman is the third son of the Endless Family. He is an incomprehensible creature. Unlike flesh and blood, different from spirits. His existence itself is a symbolic manifestation of rules. He is given personality and entity, so he also has troubles."
"In the endless sleep, even the dream itself will extend a nightmare. It is the personalized shadow of the Sandman has his own troubles. The nightmare dimension was born in the dream world, and his own nightmare gathered into entities in that dimension, which is the nightmare, one of the fear lords."
"The nightmare is part of the dream world, but it desires freedom, just like its other brothers. It relies on feeding on the fear of sentient beings to strengthen itself, but unfortunately, it is just an insignificant illusion, and it can only absorb the sweet fears of the present nightmare. However, it is not just the one who can drink from the wine glass."
"After I talk about this, you should understand?"
The parchment showed a meaningful rhetorical question, but Merlin did understand.
"This sounds very familiar, Big Snake?"
"The big snake who claims to be fearing the Heavenly Father is the source of his power and the fear of all living beings. Oh, I understand that it is not me who attracts the Sandman, but the war hammer on me. To be precise, it is the big snake. As long as the big snake escapes from the world and is strong enough, the nightmare will become weaker and weaker."
"After all, the fear of ordinary beings always has a limit, and that is not enough to be shared by too many creatures who feed on fear."
Merlin curled her lips:
"It turns out that it's really a despicable thing to kill someone with a knife!"
"Hey, don't be so harsh, Merlin."
Another sentence emerged from the parchment:
"I've been paid for it, for 7 years, once a week, your love affair with Miss Zatanna, do you know how many men are eager for this?"
"But I don't want it!"
Merlin rubbed his forehead and said to the parchment:
"Is it still time for me to throw away the Scarty Warhammer now?"
"What do you think?"
An anthropomorphic sarcasm smile appeared on the parchment, which said in words:
"What is even more terrifying than getting into a trouble is to get involved in two at the same time, oh, no, three! I am bluntly speaking, although Sandman is one of the best-tempered creatures among the extraordinary creatures, if you really anger him, the result is ok, but it will not be so good."
"To weaken the nightmare, you have to wake up the big snake, and awakening the big snake means that I will get into Odin. The price of getting into Odin is that the entire Asgard divine realm will regard me as a thorn in my side."
Merlin narrowed his eyes, he looked at the parchment, and he said:
"I think this is a dead knot that cannot be untied, and this is not a matter that I can interfere in now."
"Yes! You know your strength very clearly."
Parchment agrees:
"So Sandman gives you 7 years. He probably thinks that 7 years is enough, which may also mean that the ending will come at some point in the 7 years."
"Don't underestimate Sandman, Merlin. Although he is low-key, his eldest sister in the Endless Family has a nickname called Destiny. Being able to survive with such a nickname until now is enough to show the strength of the seven sons of the Endless Family."
Parchment reminds:
"In 7 years, there will be a big change! You must be prepared."
"Oh, how can I always encounter these strange things?"
Merlin leaned on the sofa with some sadness, and he sighed, but just as he was about to leave, there was a word on the parchment.
"You might be able to go to Blick Street. The hairless older sister has always been sensitive to foreign invasions."
"Faced with the possibility of nightmare attack, she may give you some help. If she is still staying in this group of stars, she is a busy person. After all, she is the eternal chief holy spirit, multiverse, infinite time and space, let her come and go."
As a result, the last word of the parchment was just displayed. A black book, locked in chains, appeared strangely on the table in front of Merlin, and slapped it hard on the parchment.
At this moment, Merlin heard a wail in a trance.
He hurriedly took away the book in front of him, and saw a crack visible to the naked eye on the parchment, as if it had been torn apart.
"It hurts so much!"
The parchment curled up and wailed on the surface, but the red letters that followed were even more shocking.
"She saw me"
"She knows my existence"
"No, she always knew it"
"Swish"
All the handwriting on the surface of the parchment disappeared at this moment. This parchment that claimed to know everything had all faded away all the mystery at this moment, like an ordinary, wrinkled piece of paper.
Merlin reached out his hand and carefully picked up the parchment. The cracks on it were shocking, but there was still magic inside it, and it was not destroyed.
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, putting the parchment back on the wooden rack by the fireplace, and then he turned to look at the book on the table.
The book is almost exactly the same as the book Merlin had obtained from the Supreme Master before. It is also protected with an iron cover. There is a strange emblem on the cover, like a hand that makes a strange seal.
The whole book is entangled with magic chains because the book itself has magic power and must be bound, otherwise it will cause magic chaos.
Merlin's last magic book is called "The Ancient Body of Hoggs", a super-level magic that is almost invincible under the Heavenly Father, and can resist the unparalleled sound waves of the Black Bat King's destruction head-on. This time, he got another magic book.
The same one comes from the mysterious and powerful supreme mage who has no hair. Uh, I can't think about it anymore. The parchment that had a bad mouth just now has been severely taught a lesson for saying the wrong thing.
Merlin hurriedly calmed down. He looked at the black magic dictionary in his hand. After dismantling the magic lock, a powerful magic storm hit his face. On the first page of the dictionary, the name of this spell was written in the oldest magic language.
"Aikene's form sounds like an illusion."
Merlin manipulated his magic power against the magical oppression from the book. After turning the first page, he found a note stuck in the book.
There are very beautiful fonts on it.
It should be written by the Supreme Master. It is very simple, with only one sentence, but it is more like a warning.
"The option of 'exit' is still valid. If you want to pass the next node, you will have no chance to look back. But if you decide to continue, accept this apologetic help. I am also looking forward to you, you can create miracles."
"hehe"
Merlin chuckled, he carefully clamped the bookmark in the magic book, then locked the magic book and put it back in his pocket. He stood up and tidied up his clothes and hair, he said:
"How can you give up after you have reached this point?"
"Anyway, thank you."
"Buzz"
A dimensional rift with white light opened behind Merlin, and Miss Chiriya, a white swordsman, walked out of it. She looked at Merlin with a strange look on her face, and she said:
"Suddenly thank me for what? If Elsa hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come to pick you up. Don't waste time. Let's go, Elsa is still waiting for you there."
"OK."
Merlin didn't explain anything. While mentioning the gift he brought to Elsa, he followed Cialia into the dimension crack, and turned around and shouted to Xuanlan, who was busy on the second floor:
Chapter completed!
