Chapter 142 Merlin's Legacy

"You're here." A voice sounded faintly in his ears. It was a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. He was like a shadow and looked extremely unreal.

He is tall and thin, and looks a little frail. His appearance is somewhat similar to the Merlin memory that appeared during Merlin's test, but he looks a bit older than the memory at that time.

"Who are you?" Even though he had already guessed, Xie Lin still wanted to hear his confirmation.

"I am the person you are looking for." Xuying replied.

"Are you Merlin himself?" Xie Lin frowned, "Are you still alive?"

The shadow in front of him was obviously produced by some kind of magic that Schelling didn't understand. This kind of magic reminded him of magic paintings, but the technology was much more advanced than magic paintings. Although magic paintings can be preserved for thousands of years, they can be destroyed, moved, or even hidden. This method of keeping the memory in a secret room, and only special means can activate the image, does not have such problems.

Moreover, Xie Lin did not forget that during Merlin's test, this phantom that claimed to be a memory could cast spells and was very powerful. This was by no means comparable to the magic painting.

"If the Merlin you are talking about is the wizard with a physical body, he is naturally dead," Merlin stared into Xie Lin's eyes and said, "Strictly speaking, I am Merlin's memory, but I am also Merlin. I used some special magic to leave a memory in this secret room. How long has it been?"

"About...almost a thousand years." Xie Lin said.

Merlin paused when he heard this. He was always calm and wise and remained silent for a long time before sighing: "It's been a thousand years..."

Merlin looked at Xie Lin and nodded with satisfaction, "You have good qualifications. A faint power of chaos has been awakened in your blood. The spiritual power in your consciousness is also amazing. Your body is also filled with strong vitality. It seems that you have encountered many adventures, boy." ah!"

Xie Lin nodded humbly, but said nothing.

Merlin waved his hand carelessly, "Since fate has chosen you to come to me, you are my Merlin's descendant. This may be a good thing for you, but it may also be a bad thing. You must be mentally prepared. " Without waiting for Xie Lin to ask questions, Merlin turned and walked towards a small wooden door, "Follow me, I will hand over all my inheritance to you."

Xie Lin followed Merlin into the wooden door. Behind the wooden door was a very small secret room. What came into view was a stone wall. Three items were hung on the stone wall: a brown and worn magic book with no words written on the cover. Title of the book; a ring with a simple shape, made of dull black wood; a staff about the length of the forearm, the body of the staff is engraved with mysterious ancient runes, and the tip of the staff looks like a horizontal The handle is inlaid with a dark purple bead.

"These three magic weapons have been with me for many years. They were all the most powerful magic weapons a thousand years ago. Now they all belong to you. Take them..." The voice was not loud, but it was particularly tempting in Xie Lin's ears.

Suddenly, many thoughts such as the urgent need to increase his strength, the desire for powerful magic, etc. flooded into his mind.

His mind was in chaos, but his hand involuntarily reached out to the magic book that exuded infinite attraction. Merlin watched his actions indifferently, his face expressionless.

At the moment when his hand was about to touch the cover, Xie Lin suddenly felt magic power pouring into his mind uncontrollably. There was a sharp pain between his eyebrows. His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His hand shrank unnaturally. His center of gravity was unstable and he sat down on the ground. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of wariness, and the wand reappeared in his hand. "Are you really Merlin?"

Merlin's eyes fluctuated for a moment, but instead of answering his question, he asked: "Why do you ask that?"

Xie Lin gasped and got up, taking two steps back.

If it weren't for the sudden sharp pain, he would have picked up the magic book. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind: there must be a monster when something goes wrong. He realized that his willpower was not that bad and could be easily deceived.

"I don't believe that there is such a thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in the world." Xie Lin sneered, and the previous respect in his tone was much less.

Merlin raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "I'm not lying to you, they are indeed extremely powerful magic weapons. I just amplified your emotions a little."

Xie Lin pursed his lips, gaining a further understanding of Merlin's strength.

This so-called memory can cast spells. This was exactly the same as the humanoid shadow in the last stage of Merlin's test.

It doesn't matter if he can cast spells. Even a memory that has passed a thousand years can cast spells silently and without a wand to this extent. You can imagine how terrifying he was a thousand years ago.

Merlin smiled, "Don't forget, I was also a student of Slytherin. Just like you, I am full of ambition and longing for powerful power..."

Immediately, he said seriously: "However, not everyone can bear the meaning of these three magical weapons. I must remind you in advance - if you want to inherit my magical weapons, you must have the corresponding awareness, because When you inherit the magic weapon, you will inevitably be involved in, and even bear the fate of, thousands of years ago... Make your decision now!"

The fate of a thousand years ago... Thousands of years ago, it was the Dark Middle Ages where the four founders lived... an era where all kinds of extremely powerful dark wizards and dark creatures were rampant...

Yes, Xielin is indeed a qualified Slytherin. He is full of desires and ambitions, but he will not lose his mind because of this. He will judge the situation and protect himself. It would be a lie to say that he is not envious of these three obviously extraordinary magic weapons, but he has enough troubles and he doesn't want to cause more troubles.

"I give up!" Xielin's eyes did not hesitate.

Merlin nodded approvingly, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face for the first time. Then he said: "It's a pity that I lied to you this time. You have no choice."

Before Xielin understood what this meant, he opened his eyes wide and watched the three magic weapons soar into the air and fly into his arms.

Merlin slowly put away his smile and said, "If you hadn't cracked my temptation just now, I wouldn't have given them to you; if you had chosen to accept them just now, I wouldn't have given them to you either."

"You have the initial qualifications to master them, and you know how to protect yourself and not put yourself in danger, which is good." Merlin looked into the distance with a faint gaze and sighed, "What's more, I don't have more time to wait. I have existed for a thousand years, and I finally waited for you. The magic power that has dissipated over the past thousand years is not enough for me to support it. I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, so now let me solve all of this for you!"

After speaking, Merlin's phantom turned into a colorful light and flew into Xie Lin's brain. Xie Lin felt dizzy, and a large section of memories that did not belong to him appeared in his brain.

It was a very spectacular war scene.

Behind Merlin, who was wearing a white robe, stood countless human wizards and knights, and each warrior exuded amazing magic fluctuations.

The leader on the opposite side was a beautiful witch, wearing a black tight robe, revealing her graceful figure, with a pure black rose on her head. Behind her stood countless skeleton warriors, three-headed and six-armed half-snakes, and lava giants covered with green flames...

At the moment when the two camps rushed together, Xie Lin, as a bystander of a memory, could still feel the earth-shaking feeling.

Merlin raised the staff in his hand and chanted the ancient spell loudly. A magic book floated in the air, and it automatically turned to a certain page without wind. The book shot out groups of white fireballs full of holy breath and smashed into the opponent's camp fiercely. Each huge white fireball burned at least ten skeletons into ashes.

Without the assistance of any flying equipment, the beautiful witch flew into the air and let out a sharp long roar. She suddenly turned into a huge, tyrannical dark dragon!

Xie Lin immediately knew who she was. She is Morgan Le Fay, Merlin's greatest enemy in his life!

Morgan Le Fay is the only known Animagus in history who can transform into a magical creature - the Dark Dragon. According to what Professor McGonagall said in class, the iron rule of Animagus is that it can only transform into ordinary creatures, such as cats, dogs, birds, and mice. If it becomes a magical creature, it will encounter unknown disasters. Even as strong as Dumbledore, because his patronus is the phoenix, he resolutely gave up the magic of Animagus.

Merlin shouted loudly: "Morgan, you actually violated the taboo - transforming into a dragon, your soul will be corrupted, and you will be cursed, and you will never be able to return to the world!"

After Morgan transformed into a dragon, she could not speak, but she could understand Merlin's words. She let out a long roar and flew quickly towards Merlin. The strong wind she raised along the way blew a whole row of human warriors to and fro, and the formation was in chaos. When she approached Merlin, she opened her mouth and sprayed out a violent and fierce black flame. The flame flashed with the breath of curse all the time. This was a cursed flame, extremely terrifying.

Merlin rubbed the ring on his hand with his hands. Xie Lin, who was watching from the side, suddenly thought of the name of the ring - the Ring of Protection. A colorful palace suddenly appeared beside Merlin and covered him. The black flame hit the palace and made a sizzling sound, but it could not break through. Merlin pointed at the magic book floating in the air with one hand and shouted loudly: "All return to silence!"

The magic book automatically turned to a page in the second half without wind, and a very complex magic circle was projected from the page. As soon as the magic circle appeared, a deep black hole appeared above the battlefield. The black hole emitted a very strong suction force, which was strong enough to distort the space to the naked eye. The entire battlefield was affected by it. The two sides immediately stopped fighting and retreated tactically.

The dragon Morgan transformed into roared unwillingly, and its wings kept struggling to resist the suction of the magic circle. She knew that this magic circle was a powerful sealing technique, enough to seal her, but the weakness of this magic circle was that it consumed magic power extremely. Even with Merlin's cultivation, it could not last long. She only needed to hold on until Merlin's magic power was exhausted, and then she would win.

Sure enough, after just a few minutes, Merlin's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood, staining his white robe with a scary blood red. Merlin raised his staff and shouted loudly: "Staff of Destiny, please lend me strength!"

The dim bead on the staff suddenly emitted a red light, and Merlin's magic power increased at an astonishing rate. According to Xie Lin's understanding, this was not a real increase in magic power, but Merlin used himself as a container to borrow the magic power stored in the staff. Doing so was very risky. If he was not careful, it was very likely that his body would be blown up by external magic power.

Sure enough, it seemed like five seconds had passed, Merlin's hands began to turn black, and a rotten smell spread from the palm holding the staff to the arm, and wherever it went, the muscles and skin turned into rot.

After Merlin borrowed the power of the staff, the magic circle showed its power again. Morgan couldn't resist the suction from the magic circle, and actually did something no one could have imagined!

The magic dragon that Morgan transformed into let out a painful wail, and the whole dragon body ignited a dark green strange flame. The dragon scales and dragon skin on the body cracked inch by inch under the burning of the green flame. While the huge body of the magic dragon was resisting the magic circle, a tiny black dragon broke out of the skin of the magic dragon and turned into a black stream of light and flew away.

What a golden cicada escaping from its shell!

This memory ends here. Although the final outcome of the war is unknown, it is not difficult for the clever Sherin to infer several things:

First, the magic book is a magical instrument, not a book. It records some ancient magic. As long as it is matched with a specific spell, the magic in the book can be cast;

Second, the name of the ring is the Ring of Guardian. As long as the surface of the ring is rubbed, a palace-shaped protective barrier can be formed;

Third, the name of the staff is the Staff of Destiny. The beads on it have a function similar to that of the Elder Wand, which can temporarily increase its own magic power, but it is not as stable as the Elder Wand, which poses considerable risks to the user;

Fourth, the cause and effect of a thousand years ago that Merlin mentioned refers to Morgan Le Fay who is not dead. In this short memory, Sherin clearly heard Merlin's words. Morgan practiced the forbidden field in Animagus and transformed into a dark magic creature. He also knew the consequences of doing so, that is, the soul will be cursed and can never truly return or die. In other words, Morgan Le Fay is very likely to still be alive in the current world...

This is indeed a huge trouble!

Voldemort has already plunged the British wizarding world into a bloody storm, not to mention Morgan, a witch from the Middle Ages. The ancient magic she possesses is probably even more terrifying.

I just don't know if Morgan Le Fay is related to the Shadow of the Dragon.

Sherin is very suspicious that there is a connection between the two.

Judging from the name "Shadow of the Dragon", it is too coincidental that it matches Morgan Le Fay's ability so well. Moreover, this organization kidnapped Meredith, and Sherin knew that the Shafik family was actually the blood descendant of Morgan Le Fay.

The purpose behind the Shadow of the Dragon kidnapping Meredith may have a lot to do with Morgan Le Fay who is not dead.

In this memory, although Morgan Le Fay is not dead, he is probably also seriously injured. This also explains why Morgan seems to have evaporated from the world in the subsequent history books, and there is no more deeds.

Maybe she had to fall into a long sleep to recover from her serious injuries. Her soul might really be immortal, but her body couldn't last for thousands of years.

A terrible guess came to Xie Lin's mind.

Morgan Le Fay needs a body!

Xie Lin remembered the scene of Trelawney's divination again.

Now that I think about it, the two coffins on the altar, one is Morgan Le Fay, and the other is probably Meredith!

Xie Lin still remembers that the coffins are engraved with soul magic.

Oops!

Xie Lin's forehead broke out in fine cold sweat, and his hands and feet became cold instantly.

Morgan Le Fay wants to recast her body. The easiest way is to find a body that matches her soul to take over.

The descendants of the Shafik family who have the same blood as her are undoubtedly a good choice.

He guessed wrong before. The shadow of the dragon abducted Meredith not to seize her blood power, but to make her a vessel for Morgan Le Fay's resurrection!
