Angry and manic roars exploded like thunder, seeming to be wandering rapidly near the temple.
Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes.
The scarlet moonlight shined into the open door of the temple and fell into the dim temple. He stared at the red moon in a daze for a long time and slowly sat up from the ground.
He could clearly feel that his body was much lighter than before. Although he had not grown any muscles, he could feel an unprecedented sense of strength in his movements. His skin seemed to have been washed by jade, warm and moist.
It's tough, like a piece of uncanny work of art.
He suddenly felt a warm and soft touch coming from the palm of his right hand.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw Jia Lan sitting quietly on the threshold next to him, with the hem of his dark blue Han robe draped on the ground like a folding fan, and his long black hair tied up with a red rope.
The wind chimes swaying outside the door swayed in the wind.
The red moon hung in the dim sky, Jialan's eyes flashed suddenly, holding Lin Qiye's palm with one hand, with some worry on his face.
"It's okay... I just still have a headache." Lin Qiye shook his groggy head, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"ten minutes."
Merlin in the distance was wearing a magic robe and walked slowly over. He looked at Lin Qiye carefully for a moment and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the seal is perfect, but your spirit has not fully recovered from the impact of the power of faith.
, so there will still be headaches and some dizziness.”
"It's okay, it's not serious." Lin Qiye sat on the ground and took two deep breaths.
"Really?" Merlin raised his eyebrows and walked to sit on the threshold in front of him. "Then I will give you a few questions to test you and see if you are still conscious."
Lin Qiye was startled.
"What activation method is used for the last magic node of [Yan Yan Sky Covering Technique]?" Regardless of Lin Qiye's confused gaze, Merlin slowly asked the first question.
[Yan Yan Covering the Sky Technique] is the top killing forbidden spell recorded in Merlin's Secret Book of Forbidden Curses. All the information about these forbidden spells has been engraved in Lin Qiye's mind by the mental hospital. He cannot forget it even if he wants to.
.
Lin Qiye just thought for a moment before replying: "Gravity-triggered. When the weight on the surface of the array reaches the set value, it will automatically activate. It is similar to the principle of anti-tank mines."
Merlin nodded slightly and asked his second question:
"[Alfred's Chant] is the strongest single-target killing curse of the lightning system. What is its furthest killing range?"
"Forty-two kilometers."
"Among the sealing forbidden spells, there is an instantaneous forbidden spell that requires calculating and arranging star trace trajectories in advance to activate the power of the starry sky for sealing. Which one is it?"
"[Star Track Divine Coffin]."
Lin Qiye answered the three questions fluently.
The corners of Merlin's mouth raised slightly. He stood up from the threshold and patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder. "It seems that he is still conscious. Get in the car. It's time for you to leave."
Jia Lan helped Lin Qiye stand up from the ground. When he heard the last words, Lin Qiye froze on the spot.
"where are we going?"
"Leave Gao Tianyuan." Merlin said calmly, "You already know the truth about Gao Tianyuan, you have also received the gift I gave you, and the effective time of the three psychic magics on you will also end...
It’s time for you to go.”
"What about you? Won't you come with us?"
"Your journey is over, but mine... has just begun." Merlin said with a smile.
Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "Where are you going?"
"I can't stay by your side forever, Lord Qiye. This will only hinder your growth." Merlin's voice was extremely gentle, "After Lord Nyx left, he chose to return to Olympus for revenge. I, too, have
What I'm looking for..."
"What?"
"Truth and truth."
Lin Qiye thought for a while, "Is it still a question about the nature of the world?"
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that the reason why Merlin entered the Mental Hospital of the Gods was to pursue the truth of the world, and then he mistakenly entered a different dimension and was occupied by some kind of existence...
Merlin sighed, "I have to admit that I still can't find the answer to that riddle... What I want to explore is another riddle, one that has existed in the world for countless years, but no one has discovered it.
The truth.”
Merlin stretched out his hand and pointed at the scarlet blood moon above his head.
"Are you going to trace the origin of the Cthulhu myth?" Lin Qiye said in shock.
Merlin nodded and closed his eyes gently. The two weak magical lights dissipated. When he opened them again, his eyes were already red!
Lin Qiye's heart trembled slightly.
The appearance of Merlin in front of him was very similar to the Chen Yangrong he saw in the body of the whale in the deep sea. Those red eyes reflected the shadow of the red moon, full of ferocity and pain.
The difference is that Mei Lin's expression is extremely calm, not as fanatical and insane as Chen Yangrong.
"Are you contaminated by the red moon?!"
"I took the initiative to let it be contaminated. If you want to get closer to the truth, you must listen to 'their' voices." Merlin pointed to his ears, "Now, I think I have heard some..."
"But……"
Lin Qiye was about to say something, but Merlin interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I will be fine. I am the great God of Magic and Prophecy, Merlin."
Looking at Merlin's confident and twinkling eyes, Lin Qiye opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything more.
Merlin waved gently, and several ghostly white horses dragged the silver carriage to Lin Qiye and Jialan. Merlin opened the carriage door, took off the big hood with his right hand and put it on his chest, bowing slightly like a gentleman:
"Your Excellency Qiye, let's just say goodbye...one day, fate will arrange for us to meet again."
Lin Qiye sighed and stepped onto the carriage. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped back.
"Uncle Merlin, even if you want to pursue the truth about Cthulhu, you have to leave Gao Tianyuan first, right?"
"I still have some small things to do. I'll leave as soon as I'm done with them." Merlin said with a smile, "If you stay here, you may be affected."
"……I see."
Lin Qiye faced Mei Lin. After a moment of silence, he bowed deeply and said, "Uncle Mei Lin, have a safe journey."
"Um."
Lin Qiye took Jialan and stepped onto the silver carriage. Merlin closed the door and lightly clasped the carriage with his knuckles. Several ghostly white horses quickly rushed towards them and dragged the carriage out of sight.
When Lin Qiye and Lin Qiye walked away, the smile on Merlin's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
The moment the carriage drove away from the magic circle that concealed the aura, a roar exploded again!
Roar--!!!
The roaring sound approached rapidly from a distance, blood-colored dust flew into the sky, and a sea of murderous intent swept across, rushing straight towards the departing silver carriage!
Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the magic circle in his hand, and turned into an afterimage, blocking the direction of the roar!
