At the same time (?), Great Britain, London, Elsenburg.
Prime Minister Merlin's temporary research institute was filled with a busy atmosphere on Monday. It was a strange atmosphere of embarrassment and tension when people reluctantly returned to work after two rest days. Merlin's
After the institute was burned to ashes by fire, all the staff of the original institute moved to this annex in Elsenburg.
People were busy rebuilding new files for various burned materials. In addition, the scale of this temporary research institute was much smaller than the original one. The staff who were busy coming in and out of the corridor were almost touching each other.
I stepped on my feet and spent Monday morning in this crowded space that smelled slightly of sweat.
Arthur also walked quietly among the crowded crowd. His destination was Merlin's office, which was also the most visited room in the institute.
Of course, as a king, he is willing to use his privileges. It is one of the king's privileges to drive away other obstructionists and allow himself to discuss important matters with the prime minister as soon as possible.
Arthur opened the door and walked slowly into Merlin's office. He looked at Prime Minister Merlin who was almost buried in the pile of documents, and not only sneered: "You are still as busy as ever. Didn't the old institute keep all your documents?"
Has it been burned?"
"It was burned down, so I had to re-establish the file. As a result, my workload has continued to increase. Thank you, His Majesty the King." Merlin replied with a hint of sarcasm.
He did not look up at Arthur at all. Instead, he checked the two documents on the left and right with his eyes separately. He held a pen with both arms at the same time and quickly marked various documents. This is one of Prime Minister Merlin's most famous abilities.
: He can multi-task, and one person can handle the workload of two or even several people. This miraculous skill is often admired by people--although this ability is closely related to Merlin's original appearance.
People who understand this will think that this is not really a big deal.
The King of Knights is the one who knows Merlin's true identity, and may be the only one in the world.
He looked at the guy in front of him who was working with astonishing efficiency and couldn't help but joked: "Since he is so busy, why doesn't our mage perform a magic trick to make himself have three heads and six arms? Like this
Will the efficiency of reviewing documents be better?"
"I really hope I can do this. But that majestic appearance will probably scare a lot of people to death, so forget it." Merlin also replied half-jokingly: "I'm really busy, so please don't gossip, Your Majesty."
.You came here to see me to discuss something important?"
"Then I won't mince words." Arthur took a chair and sat down. It was a hard wooden chair that was not very comfortable to sit on. It was not suitable for sitting for a long time, but the king did not intend to sit for a long time: "About those children
The wormholes in our bodies------"
"Wait!" The great wizard Merlin jumped up as if he had been shocked by a strong electric current, and stopped King Arthur's words with shouts and body language.
With his hand, he released a small black ball. The small ball expanded at an alarming speed, instantly wrapping Arthur and Merlin in a black area. This is Merlin's black magic, a kind of complete isolation from outside interference.
A special spell that cannot peek or eavesdrop from outside.
"Now you can speak with peace of mind." Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Please, Your Majesty, please be careful when you speak. Not long after I moved my office to this temporary research institute, the people here
Neither the Japanese nor the things are completely believable."
"Uh, I'm sorry." Arthur didn't seem to care much about this matter, and just replied perfunctorily: "So, about the two children Husky and Hal------"
"Oh, kittens and puppies?" Merlin stacked the documents on the workbench aside and took out a document from the slightly musty drawer of the old wooden table, which was Hal's physical examination report:
"Is there a wormhole on the chest that connects to another universe? It's actually not a big deal------"
Arthur was very surprised by Merlin's unnatural calmness: "No, it's not a big deal?! A spirit ran out of some wormhole, from another universe, and almost killed me! You
But you said [it’s not a big deal]?!”
Facing Arthur's question, Merlin leaned back in his chair disapprovingly and softly uttered an unfamiliar word: "[Transcenders]."
"Beyond...?"
"To put it simply, there is a person who has [a bridge connecting multiple parallel universes] within his body." Merlin began to explain, "The Transcendent, just like what you have seen, Your Majesty, must have some kind of wormhole in his body that connects to another world."
A universe. All [impossibility] belonging to our world are [contradictions] generated from that wormhole, from another universe. This [contradiction] flows into our world and interferes with the [phenomenon] of this world.
"
"I still don't understand..."
"Your Majesty, after so many years, have you ever thought about the [Third Miracle of Photon Creation] that you can use?" Merlin suddenly asked.
The King of Knights took a breath: "You don't mean---!"
"That's right, Your Majesty is the same. You rely on the [contradictions] introduced from other worlds to influence this world and create things that are [out of nothing] and [impossible]. To be more specific, it is you, Your Majesty."
The wormhole in the body attracted photons from another universe, and you relied on these photons from another world to activate the [Third Miracle]. ------Your Majesty King Arthur, you are also a [Transcendent]. You are, that
So are the two children, and so is your knight Lancelot."
"That's it." Arthur's eyes wandered for a moment: "I thought this matter was related to Guang Ling's physique---"
"I thought so at first," Merlin frowned: "But after a long period of research, I found that it has nothing to do with [Light Spirits]. Your Majesty's nature is indeed very similar to us Light Spirits, but that's at best.
It's just that the breath of [soul] is somewhat similar, but [transcendent] is related to [body]."
The Prime Minister paused for a moment, fiddled with the documents, and then said: "Moreover, whether His Majesty is a light spirit... I can't say for sure. Maybe he is very close to us light spirits, but different.
exist---"
King Arthur's face was slightly displeased: "You are talking about this again..."
"Don't forget our agreement, Your Majesty." Merlin stared blankly at Arthur with his silver eyes, questioning in his eyes: "I will help you based on two conditions. First,
[We are of the same kind]; secondly, [liberate this world from the erosion of shadows]. If either of these two conditions cannot be met, I have no need to continue to help you. At that time, Prime Minister Merlin will no longer be prime minister.
Merlin."
"I still remember this." The King of Knights replied lightly.
The ways are different and they do not seek each other.
The great mage Merlin, or the light spirit Merlin, the reason why he helped King Arthur was entirely because of the vague aura of "the same kind" exuding from Arthur.
But whether Arthur is a real light spirit or not has not yet been determined. If Merlin knew that Arthur was not the same kind, he would not only stop helping Arthur, but he might even kill the King of Knights to silence him.
While King Arthur wields great power like a god, it also comes with huge risks. That's all.
After warning Arthur, Merlin fell into some deep thought again. He held his chin and muttered to himself: "So, the fact that you can summon the phantom crimson dragon seems to have another feasible option."
Argument. Maybe [Transcendents] can summon phantoms, I don’t know.”
"Allow me to ask you a few more questions." Arthur interrupted Merlin's meditation: "Is there really a wormhole in my body? When did you discover it?...Does Greenville know about this too?"
"There's nothing I don't know. It was the queen who took the initiative to ask me about this matter." Merlin shrugged: "Queen Greenville has been monitoring your physical condition over the years. How could she not know that there is something in your body?"
Something like a wormhole? I think she’s just afraid that you’ll worry and doesn’t want to tell you.”
"Really?" Arthur planned to ask another question.
"You want to ask where your wormhole is, right?" Merlin answered first: "No need to guess, it is in your left eye. To be more precise, it is on the retina of your left eye."
"
"What?!"
"When you use the third miracle, do you occasionally experience blurred vision for a moment, or see hallucinations?" Merlin tapped his finger about an inch below his left eye and said, "That's the wormhole."
The result of the expansion in your left eye. If you can see hallucinations, the hallucinations you see may not be pure hallucinations - they are [reality] happening in another parallel world.
Therefore, every time you activate a miracle, the [reality] of that world will impact our world and change the [reality] of our world a little bit.
Therefore, every time you activate a miracle, you are using the [truth] of other worlds to change our world. The nature of [the transcendent] is originally like this."
The King of Knights was silent for a while, his expression solemn.
"So, Your Majesty." Merlin sighed and said in a deep and profound tone: "While you learn to filter, you should also learn to believe. There are no absolute lies in this world, and there is no absolute truth. Some are just
[Things that can be used by you], and [Things that are chosen by you]. As a transcendent... you have more choices than ordinary people, and every choice may bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.
.Therefore, please think carefully about how to choose and which path to choose.
------Please don't rewrite the world into a mess."
"Understood." The King of Knights stood up from his chair and seemed to be planning to end the conversation: "Merlin, can I have one last question for you? When the war ended seven years ago, I made this choice -
----Is this choice to save this world that should have been swallowed by darkness the right one?"
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?" Merlin burst out with a funny laugh. His eyes seemed to see through everything, but he was also revealing his unvarnished stupidity: "The choice you made seven years ago was not yours at all.
------Because you haven't paid any price for that choice at all."
After listening to the Prime Minister's words, the King of Knights frowned even deeper.
