Merlin didn't return home in the end.He asked Fury to put him at the crossroads near the Wizarding Congress.He was going to go to the Magic Congress tonight to complete the exchange of source blood, and it was better not to put this rather hot thing in his hands.Coupled with the mysterious girl who appeared before, Merlin felt an inexplicable urgency.This is not the first time that he has been warned of the dark magic that originates from the three houses.Merlin has built a wall in his mind to resist the erosion of his body and soul by dark magic, but with the growth of his own strength, the dark side of his soul is also quietly spreading, and he urgently needs some psychic spells to strengthen the wall of will.But Merlin knew very well that at the current rate of mana growth, the magic of ordinary wizards might soon become ineffective.He must find a more effective way to save himself before these spells fail.Luckily, Merlin already has two options at the moment.The mysterious places and the Supreme Mage mentioned by the Grand Wizard Dumbledore.There is also the Rock of Eternity that he found in Vlad III's collection, which Merlin looked up with his own channels, and found that in those sensational legends, the Rock of Eternity is an alternative high-level magical inheritance, just like Kama Taj.Unfortunately, neither option is so easy to find.The Supreme Mage is ethereal and hard to find, and the Rock of Eternity is simply a legendary thing, and although Vlad III firmly believes that the place exists, Merlin has no way to confirm it.He had too little information in his hands.With this thought and doubt about the future, Merlin walked for ten minutes to the Magic Congress, and a few minutes after he entered the hall, a wizard dressed as a secretary took him to the office of Grand Wizard Samuel."
Merlin, you're finally here."
The great wizard, who had been familiar with Merlin, was sitting in a chair on business, and a smile appeared on Merlin's face when he saw him enter the office.Now that Merlin is here, it means that he has made a decision."
I'm not going to beat around the bush."
Grand Wizard Samuel stood up, and after a few pleasantries, he took out a triangular conical crystal bottle from his pocket and handed it to Wizard Samuel.The latter was in his hand, and he looked carefully at the crystal bottle, and the dark red viscous blood that was constantly swaying and wriggling in the bottle, as if it had its own life.As a great wizard, Samuel could clearly feel a certain stirring energy contained in this blood, and when he came into contact with the crystal bottle, he could faintly hear a call and temptation from his heart.Vlad III's last remaining will instinctively calls for a new host.After confirming the authenticity of the source blood, Wizard Samuel's expression became serious, he carefully put the bottle of source blood into an iron box with multiple seals, and then added several magic locks to it, then turned around and said to Merlin: "You handed over the source blood to the Magic Congress, which represents your trust in us, which also proves that you have rejected the call of the evil force, and proves that you are strong-willed."
According to the rules of the Magic Congress, while receiving something of such value, we also want to give the donor a gift of the same value in return.So, I was wondering, Merlin, what do you need?
”Merlin didn't hesitate much, he stretched out two fingers: "First of all, I need a special set of alchemy materials. ”"Secondly, I hope to be able to transcribe a few high-level spells in the Grand Wizard Library of the Magical Congress.""
No problem."
Samuel didn't even ask Merlin what the materials were, and he just agreed.After all, the value of the source blood is quite high, and if Merlin transfers this item to the rebuilt British Ministry of Magic, he may be able to get himself a more substantial reward.Now it seems that Merlin believes more in the Magic Congress, which is also a gesture of goodwill.Naturally, the Magic Congress will return the favor.He took a quaint key from his pocket and handed it to Merlin: "This is my key, you can enter the Great Wizard's Library through it, and stay in it for no more than 48 hours, which should be enough for you to transcribe spells." ”After Merlin took the key, the archsorcerer reminded, "But Merlin, the books in the library have been enchanted, so be careful when transcribing."
Secondly, don't be greedy, the more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to understand, instead of copying a lot of spells that you can't understand, it is better to carefully choose a few that are most suitable for you. ”"I understand."
Merlin nodded to Wizard Samuel, and said, "I already have a definite goal, and you don't need to worry about that.I'll leave this key at the lobby front desk when I'm leaving. ”"Hmm."
The Grand Wizard nodded, and he said to Merlin, "Then I won't take up your time." ”He pointed to a closed wooden door to the left of the office, and he said to Merlin, "Through this door, you can go to the library, the Grand Wizard's Library is on the highest level of that place, and you need to use the Transfiguration Charm and the key to find it." ”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, and he walked towards the door, but just as he was about to open it, Merlin hesitated, he turned around, and said to the archwizard who had returned to his desk, "Lord Samuel, have you heard of the Eternal Rock?"
”"Of course."
The Great Wizard raised his head and glanced at Merlin with a little surprise, "But where did you learn about this legend?"
”"From a friend."
Merlin said with a straight face, "He also treats this thing as a legend, but he firmly believes that the Eternal Rock exists, and in your opinion, Lord Samuel, what do you think?"
”"This, it's hard to say."
The Grand Wizard replied with some hesitation: "The legend of the Eternal Rock has been circulating in the wizarding world for thousands of years.When I was younger, I also paid attention to these ethereal legends.For example, Leviathan, which is ready to devour the world under the North Sea, and then the ancient kingdom hidden in the desert, and the sunken Atlantis, etc. ”"The Eternal Rock is one of the more unique of these legends."
The old wizard played with the quills in his hand and said to Merlin, "It's special in that it's called the other extreme of the 'Advanced Magical Binary', well, you should already know that there are higher-level variants of the magic used by the samurai, one in the Kama Taj Sanctuary managed by the Supreme Mage, and the other is the Rock of Eternal Marks, and it has to be reached by some means of transportation. ”"It is said that people have rushed into it on horseback, others docked at the Eternal Rock on ships lost in the storm, and stalled carriages, trains, and several paranormal phenomena related to the Eternal Rock since the beginning of the new century, people have accidentally driven into it.""
What is certain at this time is that the legend of the Eternal Rock has some authenticity, as in every era, there have been supernatural events related to the Eternal Rock.But this legend is difficult to verify, because the people who can come into contact with that place are as if they were chosen at random...""
I've talked to people who claim to have been to the Eternal Rock, but the facts they told me were very different, even contradictory."
The old wizard shrugged at Merlin, stroked his beard, and said to him, "So I think it's more likely that place is an illusion."
It will change its image depending on the person who enters it, or rather, it is a place controlled by powerful forces, and the purpose of its existence may be to select some gifted people...
It's like the legendary trial of the gods in ancient mythology. ”Merlin listened to the old wizard's analysis, he nodded, and said, "That means that to enter that place, you can only rely on luck?"
”"So far, that's pretty much it."
Samuel nodded, and he returned his attention to the business at hand, and said, "But Merlin, you have a great future, and I would not advise you to waste your precious time on these legends.There have been too many wizards throughout the ages who have sought it out, but almost nothing has been found. ”"Speaking of which, Merlin, as a young wizard, your social circle is also a little too closed."
The old wizard seemed to remember something again, and he took out a special envelope from his drawer and delivered it to Merlin with a levitation charm.The old wizard smiled and said, "This is this year's invitation to the Violet Pen Ppal, an organization founded in 1543, and many famous wizards have been members of this pen pal club.It's also the best option for young wizards who don't like to party and make friends, and if you're feeling lonely, maybe you can try this. ”At this point, Grand Wizard Samuel winked his eyes at Merlin and said, "There are a lot of good witches in there, maybe you can use it to find your mate in the wizarding world." ”"Mr.
Samuel, be careful, you're the Speaker of the Magical Congress!"
Merlin picked up the lilac envelope, coughed lightly, and said to the archwizard, "Perhaps you should pay more attention to the recent re-establishment of vampire society than my private life...
We've managed to defeat those stubborn old guys, and you should take this opportunity. ”With that, he didn't give Grand Wizard Samuel a chance to refute, and reached out and opened the door.In the light of teleportation, Merlin came to the quiet wizard's library, he held Samuel's key in his hand, activated the shapeshifting charm, and under the guidance of some special coordinates, the next moment, Merlin appeared in another place.It was like an enclosed hall, and Merlin looked around, hundreds of bookshelves filled with magical tomes stood around him, like a sea of books.Merlin glanced at it, and he finally understood why Samuel advised him not to be too greedy.There are so many books stored here...
It is impossible for any full-fledged wizard to read these books even in the course of a lifetime."
Okay, let's find it then."
Merlin put away the key, and he stepped along, beginning to search for the spells he needed in these ancient books.After a few minutes, Merlin found a large bookshelf labeled "Will and Soul", and that was what he was looking for.However, after some searching, Merlin was a little disappointed.There are a lot of books on the shelves, and there are many spells that are recorded, and some of them are incredibly powerful, but the problem is, none of them are what Merlin needs.He needed a magic that would protect his soul from attack like a god guard, but he couldn't find any useful ones.Probably because even for wizards, the soul is a mysterious thing.Merlin looked at the books in his hand, the ones he had picked out useful spells.A book "The Secret of Protecting the Mind", which introduces the very unpopular Occlumency Technique, which is a one-time release, permanent state spell, which can protect the secrets in your mind from being discovered by other forces.There is also a book "On the Control of Dolls", which carefully analyzes the origin and use of the Imperius Curse in the Unforgivable Curse.Finally, there is a book called "The Secret Story", which introduces the magic of memory separation.Some shamans extract important memories from their minds and store them in special containers, both to keep their secrets secret and to forget some unbearable past, a spell that is said to have been invented by a wizard who has had several failed marriages.These spells can also be found in libraries for ordinary wizards, but the books in the Great Wizard's Library record not only the original spells, but also multiple variations of these spells, and after reading a book, it is equivalent to learning several spells.The cost performance is much higher than that of books in ordinary libraries.Merlin took out a pen and paper, and while copying the contents of these books with a copying charm, he walked to the other shelves, he still needed to learn some other spells, although he didn't find what he wanted, but he came here, and he couldn't go back empty-handed.Like what...
The forbidden knowledge of Horcrux spells can only be found in the library of the Grand Wizard.It took Merlin several hours to find a Horcrux-related codex in an inconspicuous corner of the library, and in the process, Merlin discovered a very interesting spell."
Wishing Spell..."
Merlin looked at the thin book in his hand, which he had spent a few minutes reading and found a very strange spell in it.
“AccioWanting...
Well, this is clearly a variant of the Flying Charm.You can summon a random item from the real world according to the wizard's inner thoughts, but there is no guarantee of the type of thing that will be summoned, and there is a high failure rate, or a small chance of summoning a very dangerous thing. ”"It's kind of interesting."
Merlin looked at the book in his hand with great interest, he rubbed his chin and whispered, "So, is this thing actually a monkey version of the 'wishing machine'?"
