Chapter 1120 The Secret of Death

Standing in a small courtyard, William frowned slightly.

There was a woman's sharp cry and the midwife's voice shouting cheers from inside the room.

A new life is about to be born!

There were also two middle-aged men standing at the door, both wearing rosary beads and thick and heavy black robes.

The two were waiting anxiously, as if their wives were in the house and their children were about to be born.

Is it still the same wife?
This surprised William for a moment.

Did he travel to the set of "Fengyun" after his death?
At this moment, is it the famous scene where Bu Jingyun and Jian Chen are waiting for Chu Chu to have a baby, and then shouting "I'm going to be a father" at the same time?
But these two men, although they have instant noodles on their heads, judging from their red hair, they are still typical Celtics.

William was a little confused about the situation.

He remembers trapping Reaper, but was stabbed with a spear and should have died.

What's the situation now? !

Couldn't it be the child of the pregnant woman in the house who will travel again after death? !

He circled around like a wandering spirit.

William quickly spotted the problem:
Neither of these two people seemed to be able to see him. This feeling was more like the memory of the Pensieve.

And the pregnant woman in the house is actually a nun, and she is waiting to give birth in the church...

It's like a female nun in a nunnery is about to give birth, and the abbot of the temple next door is waiting anxiously.

This made William even more confused.

At this time, a baby's cry finally sounded from the room.

An elderly nun pushed the door out and said excitedly to a man:
"Birth, Bishop Valdespino, a boy!"

The bishop nodded in satisfaction, first prayed, thanked the Lord for the gift, and then asked:

"Did Carmelis name the baby?"

"No, she begged the bishop for a name," said the nun.

The bishop pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's call it... Merlin."

William was taken aback.

The bishop followed the nun into the house, but the other man didn't go in. Instead, he smiled and said:
"What about the name Merlin?"

"Can you see me?" William looked at him in surprise, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "Are you Merlin?"

"Yes, I am, finally meeting you, William Stark."

Merlin took a breath, and the silvery white hair on his head instantly turned red.

Wrinkles also disappear in an instant and the skin becomes smoother.

Originally a burly middle-aged man, now he looks like a young man in his 20s.

Merlin is a Disguise Magus, who can change his appearance at will.

"Where is this?" William asked curiously. "Why am I here?"

"You are now in a trance, between life and death."

Merlin motioned to William and walked out of the courtyard.

A bright mist appeared all around, but it was not the scenery, shrouded in fog, but these cloudy vapors, which had not yet formed the surrounding scenery.

"Everything here depends on you, William. It will change the scene you are familiar with according to your memory." Merlin explained.

"However, the power I left on you created a temporary memory." He blinked and said playfully:

"This is the scene of my birth, and this is St Paul's Cathedral, St Paul's Cathedral in AD 610."

William looked at those architectural styles, and they were indeed very different from St. Paul's Cathedral.

"This church will be destroyed three times and rebuilt." Merlin said regretfully:

"But in 400 years, in 2021, it will cease operations due to a plague from North America."

William was shocked.

He knew that Merlin could prophesy, but this prophecy ability is too strong!

Merlin seemed to know what William was thinking, turned to look at him, and said with a smile:

"Are you surprised, I am the son of a nun, she is not a wizard, why do I have such a powerful prophecy ability?"

Merlin can be said to be the most talented and powerful wizard ever.

From the British wizarding world, the mantra is still "Merlin's beard"... It can be seen.

He can also foresee the future. When he was seven years old, he made the famous prophecy that the red dragon would defeat the white dragon.

He is also a natural disguise Animagus, Parseltongue, and can communicate with many creatures without barriers.

The wizards were very curious, how did Merlin awaken such a powerful talent?

His mother, after all, was just an ordinary nun, not even a wizard.

Merlin didn't make a fool of himself either, and said concisely: "These powers are inherited from my father."

"But the rumor," William hesitated, "I heard from Sir Cadogan's portrait that you don't have a father..."

While it may sound like a curse, this is first-hand, reliable information.

Cadogan is Merlin's best friend, the kind who grew up wearing a pair of underwear.

"That's right." Merlin smiled, looked up at the sky and said:
"My father never showed up, he sneaked into my mother's dream, impregnated her as a virgin, and gave birth to me."

"..."

This way of birth is similar to that of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.

No wonder as a nun, Merlin's mother was not punished, but was regarded as a miracle by the bishop.

However, sneaking into the clouds and rains of other people's dreams is really a wonderful XP method.

William suddenly thought of Morgan, her father was raped in an extremely weird way.

The matter of Merlin's mother could not have been done by a beast like Reaper, right?
Merlin calmly told a shocking truth:

"That man is indeed the God of Death. I am his son, Vivian's younger brother, Morgan and Elaine's older brother."

"The blood of the god of death has awakened my unique magical talent."

Hearing this secret news, Rao even William was stunned and shocked beyond measure.

Besides the three fairy sisters in the lake, I didn't expect Death to have a son, and it was... Merlin!
However, Merlin once had a decisive battle with Death?

He not only imprisoned Morgan in Stonehenge for 500 years, but also pierced the river Styx.

Even leaving power behind, it looks like he wants to kill the god of death.

If this is father and son, then it's too... the father is kind and the son is filial, right?
Merlin's voice was steady, and he whispered without deliberately concealing the truth:

"William, death is immortal, he doesn't care about offspring, the so-called children are his pawns to get out of trouble."

"Get out of trouble?" William felt that he was about to touch the secret of death.

"Human beings can become gods of death. Once they become gods, they will be immortal and possess powerful power beyond that of wizards."

Merlin stood with his hands behind his back, looked at William with a faint smile, and said, "Do you think it's a good thing to be a god of death?"

"Does it need to pay a terrible price?" William raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to get something, you have to give something, which is very reasonable." Merlin nodded and said:
"What the god of death needs to pay is responsibility.

He guards the underworld to prevent powerful magical creatures beyond the end of the Styx from invading the world.

You have also seen it, the giant monster of the North Sea, the white dragon and the red dragon... are actually from another world.

This kind of super magical creature can't be resisted with the power of a wizard, but the god of death can suppress it and then easily subdue it. "

Merlin paused, and continued:
"As the master of the underworld, the god of death must also ferry the dead on the river Styx to the place of rest.

He needs to maintain the order of life and death. "

"Is everything okay?" William asked suspiciously. "It's not such a tricky thing."

In exchange for immortality and great power, becoming the patron saint of mankind... is very worthwhile, and it can even be said that this wave is very profitable.

"The only problem is," Merlin glanced at him, "Death and the underworld have become one, and he can't set foot in this world.

Can only stay in the underworld...forever! "

William was taken aback.

Except for the undead and some magical creatures, there is nothing in the underworld.

Just a desolate place!
It can be tolerated for a while, but if you are trapped there for eternity, it will be more uncomfortable than death.

This is not becoming a god, it's like going to jail... It's just a slightly larger area.

But he immediately questioned again:

"How did the god of death come to this world?"

If it is said that Merlin was born, it was the god of death relying on the great method of nocturnal emission.

Then it is not a dream to become the Duke of Cornwall and let the Duke's wife give birth to Morgan.

"That's not the body of Death." Merlin murmured softly:

"Before becoming a god, Death made Horcruxes. He was the first wizard to make Horcruxes!"

William said in astonishment: "The god of death is the despicable Hai Erbo!"

The despicable Hai Erbo was a dark wizard in ancient Greece, who invented the Horcrux and bred the first basilisk.

He created many famous black magic in later generations.

It can be said that Voldemort, the Dark Lord, is just picking up people's teeth.

Merlin nodded slightly and said:
"Reaper's real name is indeed Haierbo, but the purpose of his creation of Horcruxes is not for longevity, but for infinite resurrection.

Relying on the Horcrux to be reborn again and again, he fought against the previous god of death, Anubis, and finally found a way to kill Anubis. "

William remained silent, digesting the secret.

Merlin didn't urge him either, instead he took William along the long gravel road to visit the church.

Various symbols are carved throughout the church, among them Christian crosses, Jewish stars, Templar crosses...

Merlin sighed while visiting:

"That battle caused the demise of ancient Greece. Decades later, Haierbo became the god of death. In order to avenge Anubis, he also destroyed the ancient Egyptian civilization."

"Of course, his most important purpose is to destroy the Egyptian Invisible Academy inherited from the God of Death."

Merlin stood on a huge six-pointed star pattern, calmly said:
"In this way, there will be no more wizards who can learn prehistoric mysteries and have enough power to threaten death.

He can live forever, and no wizard can kill him and become a god of death again! "

Merlin couldn't help laughing, with a sarcasm in his voice:

"It's just that the god of death soon discovered that although he became a god and gained eternal life, no one is his opponent, and even the undead have to submit to him.

but,

he,
Unable to leave the underworld even half a step! "

"He is God,

even more
prisoner! "
