Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

【I would rather stay in a dream forever. For me, dreams... are reality.——】

——

——

In the dream world, when illusion and reality continue to overlap, the sea of flowers in the paradise reaches the sky, and the rainbow light disappears between heaven and earth.

The magician with natural curly hair, which is close to white and rainbow colors, arranged this dream tea party in the sea of flowers in the dreamland, and he said this to the sleeper

"……Sea of flowers?"

The originally broken dreams and memories gradually recovered with the dancing of the sea of flowers. Xia Yuan looked at this unlucky intruder with some surprise.

Merlin = Mei Conscience, he knew it.

The best among the crumbs, the top person. Scum, one of the culprits who killed King Arthur.

It can be said that almost anything related to Merlin is not a good thing. Now that this guy came to his dream, he suddenly felt something bad and felt that things were not simple.

"So, what is the purpose of the majestic British swordsman breaking into my dream?"

"Ah, ah, eldest brother is obviously just an ordinary court magician, why did he suddenly become the British Sword Master?"

"Although I sometimes feel that rather than chanting complicated incantations that can bite my tongue, it’s easier to just slash at them with my sword."

Is this the reason why you kill people with your sword regardless of whether you have a blue card or a red card?

Looking at the smiling Merlin, Xia Yuan began to think: Although Merlin's purpose looks kind and warm on the outside, it is actually a scumbag. A monster to the extreme - not even a human being.

He looked down at the three bright red command spells that still existed on the back of his hand. He felt that the connection between himself and the earl was still there, and he felt relieved that the earl was able to travel. With the ability in the dream, if he is here, Merlin should not be able to do anything strange to him, and the safety factor will immediately increase a lot.

"Don't worry, although the reputation of big brother may not be very good, he will not take action against you, so please don't call that fierce guy in, please!"

"Um?"

Xia Yuan was confused, you clearly know the count's ability, but you still dare to enter my dream?

"Well, you should have noticed that this is not the first time I have tried to contact you, but the previous few times, I was kicked out by the Avenger next to you. I really didn’t expect that I would be expelled in my dream, but...……"

Merlin scratched his head and looked at the changing scenery of the surrounding flowers with some distress, showing a thoughtful expression, but he seemed to like to only speak half of his words.

"You really surprised me. The scenery here in your dream is really beautiful, and it’s unexpectedly suitable for me."

"My dream is suitable for you, what do you mean?……"Xia Yuan frowned:"Isn't this the scenery you created?"

"That's right, the scenes here were not constructed by me. Instead, they were all imagined by you in your dreams. You are the master of the dream and naturally the dream builder."

"Although there are still some differences from the real Avalon, the tower at the end and the sea of flowers in the sky are extremely similar, both in color and style. So I would like to ask, how does Mr. Xia Yuan, a young man who has never arrived in Avalon, know the full picture of Avalon?"Merlin asked with a smile.

"Brother, I'm very curious"

"Avalon?"

Xia Yuan was stunned, then turned around and began to review the surrounding scenery with a bit of surprise on his face.

This place was built by himself!

Merlin asked himself how he knew what Avalon looked like?

It was meaningless. That was because he had made it before traveling through time. I once saw the tower at the end of Avalon in the Noble Phantasm released by Merlin, as well as the sea of flowers in the sky, and the flowers that once bloomed all over the underworld.

So I saw Merlin in the dream. In an instant, he subconsciously connected Merlin with Avalon, and thus subconsciously constructed the entire picture of the Elf Land in his memory.

After thinking for a moment, when he looked at Merlin again, what he saw was still the same. With a smile on his face, he was waiting for his answer.

Why did he feel that he deserved a beating? Or was it possible that he already knew his origin? After all, Merlin found him. He has been observing himself for a long time, and with his EX level clairvoyance, it is not impossible to see through his identity, but……

"……"

Xia Yuan remained silent as his brain began to think and analyze the current situation rapidly.

"Well, if you really don’t want to talk, then forget it. Big brother won’t keep asking. After all, everyone has their own little secrets. But, I actually know quite a lot about you. After all, I Have a pair of good eyes."Merlin pointed to his clear eyes.

【——Clairvoyance EX. 】

This is a direct showdown. He will tell the truth about what he observed with his clairvoyance. From the looks of it, the time is still very long, so there is no secret left.

"So, I would like to ask, does this powerful British swordsman come to me specifically for something?"

"Of course there is something going on, but let’s talk about it somewhere else. Let’s come to my house and sit down together."

"your home?"

"That's right, it's my home."

Merlin smiled meaningfully, pointed to the huge tower standing over there, and then waved his wand.

Using the magic, he let the sea of flowers cover his eyes, and then his thoughts moved slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, what was originally a sea of flowers The two of them were already sitting on the soft velvet sofa. A simple stone table was placed in the middle of the two. The albums on the wall, the beautiful carvings on the flawless walls, and the bridge of flowers floating outside the window made Xia Yuan feel... As if you are in wonderland

"If this is Avalon, then... shouldn't I be imprisoned in the Tower of the End like you?"Seeing the beautiful stone rooms around him, Xia Yuan had a bad feeling.

"You guess? Merlin raised his eyebrows, picked up the cup of scented tea on the table as if nothing had happened, and drank it with a faint smile.

"——puff!"I took a sip of scented tea and spit it out directly.

"Ahem, what on earth is this?"

Merlin looked down. The original cup of scented tea had now turned into a mixed drink of chili sauce, mustard and vinegar. What was even more frightening was that a dead fish head suddenly appeared on the water.

"So disgusting, vomit vomit, what on earth did you give me to drink?"

"The famous dish in England is fish sauce while looking up at the stars. Isn’t it delicious?"

Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows, picked up the cup of scented tea in front of him, and tasted it carefully. The mellow taste in his mouth was indeed the taste in his memory.

"Bah, bah, bah... How could such a strange thing taste good? How come there is such food in England?"

"That's a real pity. It's just a simple experiment. I can still control things in the dream through thoughts, which means I'm still in my dream. You used magic hints to induce me to conceive of this tower at the end, right?"

"Ah, was it discovered so easily? It's true. Big Brother doesn't have the ability to pull people into Avalon out of thin air. Of course, if you have a scabbard, that's another matter.

Merlin scratched his head:"This is still your dream, so you can still control everything here. I originally planned to scare you, but I was easily seen through. It's really disappointing.""

"However, young man, this opportunity is rare. There are not many opportunities to be able to freely control your dreams. There are some things that you can't try normally. In this way, such bold things can be easily realized now... Hehehe"

"……"

Seeing the mean smile on Merlin's face like an old gangster, Xia Yuan suddenly had a black line on his face, and then had a slight thought.

"Oh? Brother, how did I become like this?"

Looking again, in the blink of an eye Merlin has transformed into a very beautiful young woman with a fairy-like appearance. The white magic robe on her body has been replaced by a simple white dress. This is a bulging figure and legs. The tight black stockings made Merlin uncomfortable. This was the first time that Merlin turned into a woman. In the past, he had only used illusions to disguise himself as a woman, but this time he changed physically. It feels so weird, but it's amazing.……

"Does the young man like me to be like this? Although it is true that incubi have no gender, I still prefer to present myself as male. But since you like it, let big sister come and accompany you."Meili stuck out her tongue and said playfully.

It seemed that she quickly adapted to her identity.

"……"

Xia Yuan's head was covered with black lines.

Did he actually accept his transformation into Meili so easily? You are really awesome for being able to pervert to this extent.

"Forget it, I lost to you, do whatever you like, let’s talk about business first, I think you came to me not just to tease me."

"Okay, let’s get down to business. Merlin smiled slightly, and then said:"First of all, I want to apologize for breaking into your dream. Although I am not a human, I also know that this is very rude to humans, and I am willing to make some compensation for this.""

"Because there is really no other way. After all, my body is still locked in the tower at the end and cannot come out. Although I can see it, I can only contact the outside world through this method."

"And the reason why I can accurately sneak into your dreams is because you carry my magic hints."

Merlin pointed to Xia Yuan's part with the magic mark and began to explain.

"That Makiri Zolgen was good at water-based magic when he was young, and its extended branch, butterfly magic, happened to be very consistent with my illusions. So when I was in London, I established some contact with him and gave him a book about illusion knowledge, so there should be a lot of things I left in his magic seal, and those who inherited his magic seal You can also relate to me"

"Now that Makiri Zolgen's Magic Mark happens to be in your hands, I can connect with you."

"It turns out that it’s because of this that the magic knowledge related to illusions here was actually left behind by you?"

"Hum, how about it, aren't those magic tricks powerful? This is a magic that even Maqiri has not been able to master. The magic I left behind has reached the level of [Grand Rank], the highest level of magician in your era."

"Of course, he couldn't learn it on his own, so he didn't care about me. It's a pity that the talented magician finally abandoned butterfly magic and went astray."

"Uh, okay. Mr. Merlin, but what does this have to do with me? Your plan must be related to King Arthur, right?

Xia Yuan paused and continued:"My goal is to persist until the end of the Holy Grail War. I will definitely not be able to help you or anything." Besides, I haven't even learned a few magic tricks yet. It's absolutely impossible for me to fight other Masters. If you want the count to help, just go to him and talk to him face to face. I'm just his accomplice, not his master"

"Just an accomplice, not the master? This statement is interesting.

Merlin waved his hand and continued:"But I won't entrust him because we have met before, but he is very special. This time he also has some kind of mission attached to him. Asking him to help will only change the situation." worse"

"And to be honest, I am quite helpless with such a collective of resentment, and it is difficult to deal with. Compared with him, you, a human being, are much easier to get along with."

"But I don’t really want to get along with you"

"Oh, don't be so cold... Because of you, I have become your favorite Meili. Come and have a good chat with me."Meili put her face close to her

"You damn pervert, stay away from me!"

On the high tower, two figures were fighting and making trouble.���Then they panted and sat back down in their respective positions.

"You pervert, why are you so difficult to deal with? I've adjusted my physical strength to A+ and I can't even defeat you."

"Hey, although this is your dream, don't forget, big brother, you are the eldest sister now and I am a dream demon. As a dream demon, isn't it normal to have the ability to change dreams? What if someone kills me in my dream?"

She stuck out her tongue at Xia Yuan.

After struggling for a long time, this old pervert didn't look tired at all. On the contrary, Xia Yuan felt very tired even in his dream.

"Stop making trouble and tell me, what exactly do you want me to do? But say it first, I may not necessarily agree to it."

"It's okay, that's enough. But before that, the night is still very long. Let me tell you a story about the king.——"

"I refuse……"

"Don't refuse in a hurry. As a reward for listening, I will tell you all the changes and anomalies in this Holy Grail War after the story is over. Then you will understand everything, how about it? This should be very helpful to you."

On the high tower, the light was flying, and the suddenly rising sea of flowers reflected the two tea guests.

The floor under their feet had been replaced by water at some point, and in the slight ripples, the reflection gradually appeared -
