"Shaonian Lang, are you willing to worship me as your teacher and accept my inheritance?"
He also calls himself Young Man, but now the mysterious man's tone is calmer and no longer so frivolous.
"What can you teach me?"
The mysterious ghost did not answer, but asked Xifa a question.
"Do you know what the three realms of wizards are?"
Xifa slowly shook his head, but nodded again. He didn't know what the three realms were, but he seemed to understand a little.
"Over thousands of years, there have been many different titles, so I won't go into detail with you."
"The first realm is to be able to perform magic by yourself."
"I can see that the wand in your hand can help you perform magic better, but only with it can you perform magic. In our time, it was called a wizard's apprentice."
"The second realm is to be able to communicate with the natural magic power of the outside world and use a very small part of one's own magic power as a pulling force. At a very small cost, one can create powerful magic."
"It doesn't look like you are surprised at all. You can already do it, right? It's so scary to be born in a young age. You can almost catch up with me at the same age."
"The third realm is difficult to explain. I like to call it the realm of realm."
"The upper limit is very high. You can disturb the timeline and fate line. In the field, these obscure magic powers will be driven by you like an arm."
"The top wizards all compete in the field."
"I have said so much, are you willing to become your teacher?"
Xifa fell into silence, and after a long time, he spoke.
"who are you?"
"Me? Even if I don't mention my prehistoric name, the Merlin you talk about now is me!"
...
Xifa never fully believed the ghost in front of him.
Even though the three realms mentioned by the ghost calling himself Merlin in front of me coincided with my guess.
"You said you were Merlin, why are you like this?"
Xifa was stirring the giant Rubik's Cube while chatting with Merlin.
Fortunately, it is a third-level Rubik's Cube. In my previous life, I knew the universal formula. No matter how messy the Rubik's Cube was, I could always put it together according to the steps.
"I ended the Holy Demon War during my lifetime. What you see now is just a fragment of my soul."
That makes sense. The legendary Merlin is so strong that even in his ghost state, he is probably no match for him.
"Soul fragment? You are a Horcrux!"
While spinning around, Xifa suddenly stopped his hand and turned around to face Merlin on the side and said in surprise.
"Hey - you also know about Horcruxes, yes, I am a Horcrux."
Hiss - Xifa really took a breath this time.
The Horcrux is immortal and the soul lives on forever.
Back then Voldemort... No, now Tom Riddle will rely on Horcruxes to try to live forever in the future.
Now I have seen the spirit of Merlin's Horcrux.
Doesn’t it mean that Merlin is not dead but still alive?! Where is he? What does he want to do?
"Don't get me wrong, I disdain killing to create Horcruxes."
Merlin saw Xifa's ugly expression. He thought he understood what Xifa was thinking and quickly defended.
The making of Horcruxes is extremely evil.
In order to create it, the killing curse Avada Kedavra is required.
Use your soul to collide with others and endure severe pain that ordinary people cannot imagine, thus making your soul fragile or broken.
Then the soul fragment is fixed on an object using magic.
The more powerful the wizard, in order to have his soul shattered, he either relies on the quality of his opponent's soul or the quantity of his opponent.
In short, the birth of every Horcrux is bloody.
Making seven Horcruxes as easily as Tom did...that's outrageous.
When Xifa read the introductory fragment about Horcruxes in Cassandra's collection, she doubted whether Tom was a 'complete' soul made up of seven soul fragments.
"Forget it, you don't believe me no matter what I say."
"I'll give you a suggestion. If you don't want to completely unlock the seal, just piece it together."
Merlin smiled bitterly and then said in a solemn tone.
Xifa was doubtful, but it was very easy to solve just one side of the Rubik's Cube.
He can even ensure that adjacent faces are in one-to-one correspondence.
When the nine-square grid under Xifa's feet forms a complete side.
A faint cyan light began to emerge from the cracks in the bricks.
After the gap is completely lit.
An extremely complicated six-pointed star array began to appear in the venue.
"Ah! That's right."
Just when Xifa watched all this silently, even preparing to suppress the image in Lady Diana's mouth.
Merlin suddenly exclaimed.
"When the Rubik's Cube is assembled into at least one side, if it is not touched for a long time, it will disorder itself."
"Unless you go to the center of the field as the eye of the array and release your magic power to maintain the stability of the magic array."
Xifa glared at Merlin fiercely, not giving him any face because he was a god in the magic world.
Not to mention, the portraits of Merlin in the magical world are full of strange things, and it's not sure whether the ghost in front of him is real.
Standing in the center of the six-pointed star magic circle, Xifa released his magic power and connected with the emerging magic circle.
The magic circle did not embarrass Xifa, it quickly accepted Xifa's magic power, and the magic power exuded by Xifa was like being swallowed by a whale, constantly losing control.
"Luckily, the seal that was unlocked is from the British area."
Merlin observed it and suddenly said.
"Each side corresponds to a different area?!"
Xifa said in surprise.
"Of course, but don't blame me for not telling you in advance. The memory fragment just appeared in my mind."
"It doesn't matter..."
"No! You don't understand!"
"While the Rubik's Cube does not automatically recover, each time you reactivate a side, you will need twice the magic power as the previous one."
...
Afterwards, Xifa and Merlin were silent for the time being.
Lady Diana still underestimated her own magic power.
In the past six months, my total magic power has increased a lot. It used to take half a day, but now I can sustain it for almost a day without any problem.
I hope everything goes smoothly for Luna and the others.
Just when Xifa was praying silently in his heart and at the same time secretly on guard.
The ghost staring at him in a daze suddenly said: "Young man, I hope you will take me with you when you leave."
"Give me a reason to convince me." Of course Xifa would not agree outright.
"Destiny...except for some people with means, the long river of time has no secrets in my eyes."
"It stands to reason that no one will come here today, including in the next fifty years."
"However, your appearance makes...do you have any problems? Young Master?"
Xifa suddenly raised his hand to stop Merlin from talking.
Xifa: "Why fifty years?"
Merlin: "Because in fifty years, this piece of history will be buried."
Xifa: "Why don't you take action?"
Merlin: "Because of fate... I am observing that as long as I take action, the collapse of the world will be accelerated, because of fate..."
"Young man, I understand." Merlin was suddenly startled, and then sighed, "The fate I have observed belongs to me!"
