After obtaining the fragments of the red-handled sword, Aiwass began to prepare the ritual to summon Merlin.
In fact, there is no such ceremony. However, when Aiwass met Merlin before, Merlin gave Aiwass a prayer to call him, which was considered an exchange of phone numbers.
Although Aiwass was not a great wizard, his attainments in rituals were extraordinary.
With this prayer as the core of the ritual, Aiwass can directly construct a ritual for summoning Merlin:
The core information is that Merlin is a "knight", a "half-demon", and a "mage".
Because of this, the key numbers to summon Merlin are four of wisdom, seven of power/authority, and eight of transcendence. Combined with Merlin's love for mystery, beautiful things and travel, he also likes food, beauties and wine, the word "Merlin" comes from
In some places, there is information such as the meaning of "prime minister", and the materials for constructing the ceremony are determined.
Aiwass prepared four-petal, seven-petal and eight-petal flowers, mixed them together, and planted them in fresh soil. He also broke the white flowers of Minister Hermes, who was the minister of palace when Isabel succeeded to the throne.
The cane was repaired, and a statue of Sister Sasha that Aiwass had used before was moved next to it.
When the time advanced to four in the morning, Aiwass began the summoning ceremony.
He added sapphire powder that deepened the resonance with the path of wisdom to the transparent wine and sprinkled it on the statue of Sister Sasha. He sprinkled the remaining bit on the cane.
At the same time, facing the direction of the rising sun, chant in a low voice: "Answer me!
"Apostle of great wisdom, wise man of the round table!
"The traveler who never fetters, the sage who advises the king in his dreams, the one who loves everything in this world and is loved by the world——"
Aiwass chanted and planted the cane on the ground.
As the ceremony progressed, the now somewhat dry flowers regained their vitality and raised their heads.
The wine separated from the cane and the statue of Sister Sasha, and the transparent liquid mixed with sapphire turned into a blue tide like the sea.
That little bit of wine expanded to dozens of times in volume. The seawater gushes out from nowhere and surrounds the flowers in a circle, but it does not scatter them or submerge the soil. Instead, it condenses into a ring, gradually
It swelled into a tornado-like posture.
"I call you in the name of myself - Awas Moriarty, son of the Candlestick, former Eternal Pope - come immediately!"
"...Yes, yes, it's coming, it's coming."
A helpless and lazy voice sounded: "There is no need to call me with such a big name... If I miss something, Master Weizhe will have to say something about me..."
The water vortices seemed to be given life, splitting and dissipating. But they did not disappear out of thin air, but turned into a few jumping little rabbits. They looked left and right, and were startled by the man who appeared in the middle. They jumped away quickly.
.
And Merlin appeared among the flowers.
A young man who looked to be in his early twenties, not much different in age from Aiwass, was smiling wryly.
He has short, messy black hair, and wears a round monocle on his left eye. He holds a staff in his right hand, and a short sword hangs on his right waist. He wears a long, dark blue robe.
The cuff of his hand completely concealed his left hand in darkness.
He generally looks like an inexperienced scholar, but his deep eyes give people an unpredictable and dark feeling. His wry smile looks like he is really in trouble, but his expression is inexplicably frivolous - there is
It’s the perfunctory feeling of a handsome guy touching his nose and smiling when he’s late for a date.
"Let me tell you... former Pope, you can just call me by your own name from now on. If you are not in a hurry, I will definitely come over if I hear you. It's just a matter of when."
Merlin complained: "Even if I didn't respond to the call immediately - given our relationship, I will definitely teleport to you as soon as I am free."
Once the ritual is established, the person being called will feel it.
Even if Merlin doesn't respond to the call, he can still be sent directly afterward... just like seeing a missed call and returning a call to ask about the situation.
"I don't think our relationship is very close, Mr. Merlin."
Aiwass complained: "It's because it's safest to summon you during the summoning ceremony."
——Otherwise, who knows when Merlin will reply to the message.
Even Weizhe himself can't catch Merlin - this apostle who wanders around the world, just like his summons, is an "unfettered traveler". It is entirely possible that he is so free and easy that he "cannot read back"
”.
Looking at Merlin now, Aiwass sighed.
The "young Merlin" I saw in the promotion ceremony was so cute and honest... Why has he turned into a greasy scumbag now?
There is a kind of good student who earnestly participates in various extracurricular activities during his freshman year, never skips class, and even listens carefully to meaningless conferences. By the time he is a junior or senior year, he will skip required courses and elective courses.
Being scolded is like "You can say whatever you want and I won't change it anyway."
I don’t know if it’s Arthur’s problem, Lancelot’s problem or Weizhe’s problem…
"Well..."
Merlin did not deny Aiwass's words. Instead, he narrowed his eyes quite proudly: "That's true. You are quite smart, Aiwass. You have only met me a few times and you have already understood that this rotten person has nothing to do with you."
Salvageable nature.
"——Speaking of which, what's the matter with summoning me here suddenly? I still have a date at Iris."
"Date? With whom?" Aiwass suddenly became interested.
"An ordinary shepherdess, born of a romantic encounter."
Merlin told his itinerary without any scruples: "Compared to those witches, witches, and fairies on the path of love, it is better to be an ordinary person with mixed desires. I am afraid that I am a butterfly, and the air that is too heavy will
It’s so heavy that I can’t fly.”
"……All right."
Aiwass shrugged, noncommittal.
Mainly because of being soft on others - Vivian is now taking care of Bishop Mathers' sister, her nominal adoptive mother; while Morgan gave Aiwass a "Dream Real Estate". Both of them have a relationship with Merlin.
The bad Lake Fairies all have a deep relationship with Aiwass, and he is indeed not easy to follow Merlin and say bad things about them.
So Aiwass skipped this topic and went straight to the topic: "I hope you can help lift its seal."
"Um?"
After hearing this, Merlin was a little confused at first - he wasn't very good at breaking curses, so why was there a seal specifically summoning him to solve it?
But he soon reacted.
What needs to be lifted by him... must be the seal he arranged himself.
Precisely because Merlin is not very good at sealing, his sealing techniques are often rough and confusing.
It's like an extremely complex and extremely redundant program that makes people dizzy, and no comments are written - in this way, it is difficult for others to crack. Because it is impossible to see where the valid statements are at a glance. Yes
It makes anyone who tries to lift the seal want to strangle him to death.
The "redundancy" he has set up can only be seen through by the Dream Demon bloodline. Others can easily go around in circles.
The sealing technique set up by ordinary people is like an exquisite and strict anti-theft system. In most cases, it relies on monitoring and alarm systems, locks that are so complicated that they cannot be unlocked for a while, and a small number of triggering mechanisms to prevent intrusion. But the method
It's also easy for a skilled phantom thief to crack.
Merlin, on the other hand, threw the safe directly into a huge maze, and merged the maze with the downtown area. Under the huge flow of people, the twists and turns of the maze will make it difficult for people to even take the correct path.
No real treasure to be found, let alone anywhere near.
Merlin looked at the key Aiwass took out and recognized it immediately: "So that's it... the red-handled sword. The power of this sword is indeed powerful.
"I guess...are you planning to repair this cursed holy sword to fight against the Fallen Sky Division?
"I declare in advance that this sword contains the curse of Eternity and can only be wielded by the most determined and pure people. In the entire round table, only Galahad can use it. Even Lancelot dare not use it.
, and another knight Balin was cursed to go crazy because of using this sword.
"As long as you use this sword with evil thoughts, wanting to kill someone or do something evil, this part of your desire will be permanently amplified, making people crazy and paranoid.
"Do you think you are...suitable?"
Merlin's words were not tactful.
His meaning was very clear - he was not optimistic about Aiwass's desire to wield a red-handled sword.
"Why does this sword have the curse of Eternity?"
Aiwass asked: "In other words, why would Hengga curse a sword like this?"
"I happen to have studied this issue."
Merlin immediately replied: "Because the power of this sword actually comes from its 'red handle'. And the ruby that makes up the sword's hilt is part of the crystallization of the beast master. Maybe it's his bones, maybe it's his
Egg shell, or maybe something else...but in short it still retains the original power of the first source river.
"Strictly speaking, this is not actually a curse. It's just because this power contains the 'beast nature' of the beast's path, and only the purest 'love' can suppress it.
"Precisely because it is not a curse, I think it cannot break the curse at all - so I smashed its blade into pieces to make it 'not a sharp blade' and bruised its sharp claws; I destroyed it again
Its scabbard was used to remove the fur and scales that protected it, and a prison for it was forged out of amber and sacred wood.
"——So I was not actually 'sealing a magic sword', but I was imprisoning and imprisoning a ferocious magic beast."
Merlin said seriously: "That's why I'm warning you - it's not just a 'Lord-killing Demon Sword'."
