After drawing thirty-six times in a row, Lin Qiye still couldn't draw that ability.
As time-traveling circles unfolded one after another, the hair on Merlin's head fell like snow, and his expression was extremely bitter.
After going back in time again, Lin Qiye looked at Merlin who was stiff and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Merlin... are you okay? If not, can I use another ability?"
The corners of Merlin's mouth twitched slightly. He braced himself and pretended to be calm and said:
"No need to change, it's just a little bit windy...you can continue smoking."
"……good."
Lin Qiye adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and turned the dial again.
As the pointer swept across each ability area, Merlin's heart suddenly tightened, and the desire in his eyes almost overflowed.
Finally, under his direct gaze, the pointer slowly stopped at a certain area.
Merlin's eyes lit up and he felt relieved.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes, and when he saw the area where the pointer stayed, there was also a hint of joy in his eyes.
He got it.
The main body of the turntable gradually dissipated, leaving only the ability area that turned into a black light and poured into Lin Qiye's body. After a moment, a line of small words appeared in front of him:
"
Merlin's Secret Book of Forbidden Curses:
The Forbidden Book of Merlin, the God of Magic and Prophecy, records a large number of forbidden spells unknown to the world, including the "Chapter of Killing", which has super-magic-level mass destruction, and the strange and unpopular but special-purpose "Chapter of Killing".
Chapter of the Gate", and the "Chapter of the Seal" which records various types of super-level sealing magic.
"
The moment he saw these words, a large amount of information was automatically imprinted in Lin Qiye's mind. He frowned slightly and stood there in shock for a while before fully digesting it.
Feeling the extra knowledge of forbidden spells in his mind, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh of relief.
"Succeeded?" Merlin asked.
"Um."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Merlin's face, and he reminded, "The forbidden spell magic in the secret book is different from other magic. It cannot be used casually, especially when your own spiritual power is not high. If
If you forcefully activate most of the forbidden spells now, they may be drained out in an instant.
Most of the remaining small parts you can use require drawing magic circles in advance, and even preparing sacrifices to replace magic materials, plus a lot of chanting, in order to barely activate them... Of course, these forbidden
The power and effect of the spell are much greater than conventional magic."
Lin Qiye thought thoughtfully, "In other words, most of these forbidden spells are only applicable to positional battles that require advance preparation time?"
"That's right." Approval appeared in Merlin's eyes, "Of course, when your own strength is strong enough, you can achieve instant casting without chanting without drawing the magic circle in advance."
Lin Qiye nodded.
He withdrew his consciousness from the Gods Mental Hospital, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the dark beast's esophagus above his head, and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency Merlin, what exactly is this giant beast?"
"It?" Merlin paused, "It's called a whale, and it's a legendary sea beast in the Japanese pantheon. Although it's huge, it actually doesn't have much attack power."
"Japanese pantheon?" Lin Qiye said in surprise, "I thought it was a creature of the Cthulhu pantheon."
Merlin shook his head and pointed upward. Through the stomach of the giant beast and the sea water, a bright moon was hanging in the night sky.
"Cthulhu, they're all there."
Seeing that Merlin really seemed to know everything, Lin Qiye couldn't hold himself back any longer. He opened his mouth and was about to ask, but Merlin across from him calmly closed his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed.
"Lord Merlin?"
"There are some things that you will naturally know when the time comes. Knowing too much now is not a good thing for you." Merlin said slowly.
Seeing that Merlin didn't want to say more, Lin Qiye shrugged and could only sit down.
His mental power spread out, and through the stomach of the giant beast, he felt the flow of the ocean currents in the outside world. The deep sea was dark and chaotic, and he didn't know which direction he was heading...
At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly thought of a question.
In the timeline he saw, Wang Mian went upstream in the long river of time, broke through the closed loop, and also fell into the ocean currents of the deep sea, disappearing without a trace.
So where is the king's face now?
…
Japan.
Circle of people.
The turbulent seawater crashed on the dark cliffs, creating large snow-white waves.
Under the blue sky, a girl wearing a black cherry blossom kimono was sitting quietly at the front of the cliff on the coast, looking up at the endless sea water, lost in thought.
The sea breeze blew over her cheeks, lifting a strand of temple hair, and the light pink cherry blossom hairpin gave off a faint halo in the sunlight.
Hanging from her waist was a long knife made of paper.
While she was in a daze, several men in black kimonos came up behind her, bowed respectfully, and whispered:
"Master, it's almost time, we should go back."
"...Wait a little longer." The girl said calmly.
"..."
Several men looked at each other and saw the helplessness and embarrassment in each other's eyes.
At this moment, a man slowly walked up from behind them. He was also wearing a black cherry blossom kimono, but the number of cherry blossoms on his body was only half that of the girl. He patted their shoulders and motioned for them to leave.
Several men bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Takuya Fengji stood behind the girl, his kimono was fluttering gently in the breeze, and he let out a long sigh:
"Master, that adult will never come back... He doesn't belong here in the first place."
"I know." Yurina stared at the horizon in the distance and muttered to herself, "But what if?"
Fengji Takuya smiled helplessly, "I can understand your mood, but we have to come and wait every other day. Isn't this too frequent? Now there are rumors outside that this coastline has been taken over by our Fengji family.
Coming down..."
"Let them say it."
Yurina sat cross-legged at the front of the cliff, slowly closing her eyes amid the sea breeze and waves.
This is where he first met Lin Qiye and fished him out of the sea. It was also where the miracle that changed her destiny began.
Although Lin Qiye has left, she still comes here regularly, waiting for her miraculous return... She is the extremely smart head of the Fengji family, but at this point, she is persistent like a fool
.
After a long time, Yurina's eyes were already a little tired. She sighed, slowly stood up from the cliff, and prepared to turn around and leave.
At this moment, her peripheral vision seemed to catch something, and she was stunned and looked back.
Between the rough waves, a figure with silver hair and a mask was seen being carried in the sea like a stone statue and washed up on the shore.
