Shadow of the Beautiful World

Ruiwen's past determined that this girl's personality was somewhat extreme.

It took Merlin several months to make her have a little bit of a girl's normal feelings, but once it comes to Ruiwen's bottom line, she will turn back to the original cold raven.

But she didn't have instinctive malice, she was just asking Merlin to be a perfect brother in a child's way.

This is the common wish of all sisters.

Of course, Merlin himself is not a complete scumbag. The reason why he is unwilling to start a new relationship is also because of his attachment to the past relationship.

But now, both external and internal pressures have made Merlin realize that he really should end his single life.

I don't know why, but there is always a feeling of embarrassment in his heart.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Merlin came to Zatana's room on time. On the other side, Raven Victor also folded his wings and stood obediently on the table in front of Ruiwen.

It will once again act as a microphone for Merlin and Raven, helping Merlin disguise himself as a master of the occult.

You're recovering well.

Merlin walked into the room and saw that Zatana was able to walk slowly while leaning on the wall.

Yes, Mr. Merlin.

Zatanna turned her head and smiled at Merlin, she said:

I should be thankful that the reckless question just shocked my spirit, but didn't hurt my soul. According to this speed, maybe in the early morning of tomorrow, I will recover my ability to cast spells.

Speaking of which, I've always been a little curious.

Merlin sat in a chair upholstered in black velvet, looked at Zatanna, and said:

Why did you become a magician? Is this a cover-up of identity? Or are there other reasons?

Because it's fun.

Zatanna said frankly:

I have liked magic since I was a child, probably because my father's disguised identity is a world-renowned magic master. I still remember that when I was young, I often followed my father and watched him perform under the stage. The release of gorgeous magic will make the audience mesmerized and I like that feeling, it can bring happiness to others.

Later, I studied magic with my father. At that time, I realized that the birth of magic is actually the pursuit of magic that is elusive in the hearts of ordinary people. It is essentially a pursuit and interpretation of mysticism. .”

Miss Magician leaned against the window, and she looked at the strange scenery between dimensions outside the mysterious house.

Those dancing rays of light, the disordered lavender nebula and the matter that distorts existence, a sailboat embedded in the stone, the upper half is intact, the lower half of the castle fortress collapsed, and those who were exiled into this disordered space of twisted bones.

she says:

Since then, while studying magic, I also began to try to become a magician. This is not a disguise, it is probably the realization of my hobby.

She brushed her long, smooth black hair, looked back at Merlin, and asked:

What's your hobby? Mr. Merlin.

Well, it should be magic.

Merlin thought about it, and he said:

I am engaged in a job that is always stressful. When I study magic alone, I am always relaxed. I think this should be a hobby.

Your hobbies are really different.

Zatanna said:

No wonder you can become a master of the occult

Let's not talk about that.

Merlin says:

Tell me about the questions you want answered. Let's hurry up. For a patient, you still need to rest.

All right.

Zatana picked up her notebook from the table at hand, she flipped through a few pages, and then asked:

A few days ago, I tried to summon the hounds of Xoros, which are the lowest level of spirit world summoning in the field of mysticism, but I have never been able to sense the calls of those hounds of the spirit world. I seriously doubt I used the wrong rune, but I couldn't find the mistake myself.

She handed Merlin the notebook with the scent of violets in her hand, and she said:

Perhaps you can help.

Well, let me see.

Merlin took the notebook and felt dizzy after just looking at it.

Merlin had never seen the weird runes and words recorded in this notebook, and Merlin, the hound of Xoros, had almost never heard of it.

This is mystical magic, a spellcasting system completely different from the traditional magic that Merlin learned. Wizards who are good at mysticism and magic are all talented spellcasters, and those without mysticism cannot get started at all.

The rune she used was correct.

Ruiwen's voice quickly sounded in Merlin's heart who was pretending to carefully examine the arrangement of the runes. The little girl said in a very fast and calm voice:

The seal of summoning is also correct, but she has an oversight. The old seal she used in the summoning ceremony is too advanced. This well-made old seal is used to summon more advanced spirit creatures, such as the astral tiger. Or the phantom of the Dream Snake. To summon the hounds of Xoroth, Zatanna must change to a low-level old seal.

In the summoning system of mysticism, each different old seal corresponds to a different summoning object. This system is very strict. Any wrong use of items will lead to the failure of the ceremony. In some high-level mysterious summoning, The wrong placement of the old seal will cause the summoned spirit to go into a berserk state and tell her that this is a fatal mistake!

Merlin nodded calmly, he put down Zatana's notebook, and he asked in his heart:

Tell me first, what is the old seal?

You can understand it as a specific item used to lure summoned objects in traditional summoning. Of course, the old seal is more dangerous than those ordinary inducers. It is essentially a magic item with a breath of spirit, which can be used to Call or expel spirit creatures.

Raven quickly explained:

However, holding this special magic item requires the user to have a strong will, and there must be no slack, otherwise the consciousness will be easily invaded by the breath of the spirit.

Um.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his head, looked at Zatana with a stern look, and said:

Your rune knowledge is very solid, which makes me very relieved. It seems that you have mastered what I taught you before. But unfortunately, Zatana Zatara, you made a fatal mistake.

He said in a serious tone:

You used the wrong old seal. The old seal you used should be used to summon more powerful spirit creatures like the astral tiger. The hound of Xoros is too low-level, it cannot, and dare not respond to this This level of old seal summoning, unless you want to call out the cruel and crazy Xoroth wild hound, but such spirit world creatures are beyond your control right now!

You need to change to the lowest-level old seal and try again. This shouldn't be a problem for you.

The level of the old seal is too high?

Zatana said with a look of astonishment:

But that is already the lowest and worst old seal that I can find in the family treasure house. Is there really a lower-grade old seal?

Of course there is.

Merlin said to the rich girl in front of him in an envious and slightly jealous tone:

You can buy them in Diagon Alley in London. Low-level old seals are not hard to find. You only need a few Galleons to buy suitable old seals. In addition, I want to remind you that in the re- Before summoning, you must first grasp the contrast between spirit world creatures and different old seals.

Zatana, you are very talented, but in the field of mysticism, mysterious summoning is a very serious matter. The low-level summoning ceremony is okay. With your strength, you can easily repel those wrong summons, but In advanced summoning ceremonies, the consequences of using wrong old seals and materials are quite serious. What happened to your ancestors should give you a real reminder.

Merlin's tone was very much like a tutor teaching a student, and Zatana, who was opposite him, also had a serious face, like a student listening to a class.

Now let me tell you the different old seals and materials needed for several summons from the spirit world, please remember.

In Merlin's mind, Ruiwen's voice kept ringing. What Merlin had to do was to describe Ruiwen's words with his own voice, just like simultaneous interpretation.

A series of complicated and awkward materials and spells that Merlin had never heard of were uttered by him. Merlin felt like he was chanting scriptures, but he had to put on a very serious look to impart knowledge.

In front of his eyes, Zatana held a notebook and quickly recorded the words Merlin said.

Judging from her expression, these things that Merlin doesn't understand should be very precious knowledge.

After several minutes, Merlin finished talking about the knowledge Ruiwen gave him, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Zatana, and said:

Are there any other questions?

Yes, there are many more.

As a occult beginner, Zatanna recorded too many questions in her notebook. She turned to another page and said to Merlin:

About what you taught me before, the real world uses different astrological comparisons to confirm the orientation of the spiritual dimension. I haven't made smooth progress in this, especially the mapping relationship between Andromeda and Ursa Major. How to channel the magical tides when the moon and the last quarter moon alternate, and the spiritual phenomenon represented by the change of image between the zodiac signs.

I thought I was good at astrology.

Zatana said with a self-deprecating face:

But I can't understand at all that the knowledge you taught me is really far behind you, Master Merlin.

Don't say that.

Merlin said calmly:

You are just a beginner. Being able to ask these questions means that you do have the talent for mysticism. All you need is time.

In fact, although Merlin has also learned astrology, his understanding of these astrological knowledge is probably not even one-fifth of Zatana's, let alone Ruiwen who learned astrology from magical aliens since childhood.

These are very simple questions.

Ruiwen's voice sounded in Merlin's mind, and there was a hint of doubt.

According to Zatana's talent and learning ability, she shouldn't even be able to understand these questions. How do I feel that she is delaying time? She seems to want to spend more time with you.

Are these questions really that simple?

Merlin says:

I can't understand any of them.

Do you think every wizard is just like you, only using magic for battle?

Ruiwen replied with a look of disdain:

In Azaras, wizards like you will be deprived of magic cores and thrown into confinement rooms! Every scroll wizard in Azaras is proficient in certain secrets in the stars, and magic is not a weapon in their eyes , but a tool for studying the truth of the world Merlin, you really need to make up your basic skills, starting tomorrow, I will teach you astrology, astrology will be very useful when we enter hell in the future.

Alright alright.

Merlin rubbed his forehead, he said:

I'll ask her.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zatana with an insightful gaze. He said:

With the talent and learning ability you showed in your previous letter, Zatanna, you shouldn't be unable to understand such a simple question. You seem to be delaying time. Why?

Merlin looked at the slightly flustered girl in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Nothing.

Zatana replied in a panic:

I have nothing to hide.

All right.

Merlin stood up and said:

Then I'm leaving and have a good rest.

Wait, Mr. Merlin.

Zatanna quickly called Merlin, who turned around and looked at Zatanna. Miss Magician was going to tell Merlin about the parchment, but the moment she spoke, the parchment she put in her pocket Suddenly it vibrated.

Like a warning.

Obviously, the parchment and the will behind it didn't want Merlin to know that they had been paying attention to Merlin's private life.

Under this warning, Zatana's voice was on the sidelines, and she said to Merlin with a pitiful gesture:

Please don't go, Mr. Merlin.

Why?

Merlin frowned and asked:

I need a reason, I have a lot to do.

I'm afraid of the dark.

Zatanna said:

Since I know the information of that spirit, as long as I am in the dark, I can hear faint whispers, probably because the power of that spirit remains in this house. Only with the help of a mysterious master like you Please, stay with me tonight until I leave this house tomorrow morning.

she says:

I will pay for it, 5 magical items with divine power, please help me!

Hmph, little vixen!

Ruiwen's dissatisfied voice echoed in Merlin's mind.

Merlin also knew that Zatanna was lying.

Because he is not a master of occultism at all, he knows nothing about occultism, his existence is unlikely to help Zatanna eliminate those whispers, this girl is lying.

She just wanted Merlin to stay.

Should I say no to her?

Merlin asked in his mind, and Ruiwen on the other end was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her arms crossed, staring at Victor the Raven. Victor couldn't help shrinking his head with that kind of gaze.

But in the end, Ruiwen still did not object, she said to Merlin:

5 sacred wonders, not one less!

Also, you can only stay with her, and you can't do anything beyond the mark! I'm staring at you, Merlin!
