Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 992 46. The Rock of Eternity--Adding more for the Silo brothers [57]

The Rock of Eternity, this is a mysterious place.

Merlin first heard the name after he and Blade killed the revived legendary vampire Vlad III on Staten Island.

He found some tomes from the legendary vampire's relics.

The legendary vampire seemed to be looking for this place too.

It wants to find something called "magic pupil" here.

At that time, Merlin was suffering from the rapidly expanding dark magic power from the Sangong in his body, and he was eager to find more useful and advanced magic.

At that time, he had two choices.

They are all located in legends, one is the source of orthodox magic, Kama Taj, the inheritance of the supreme mage.

The other is the more mysterious legend than Kama Taj, the Rock of Eternity that carries the world's most powerful divine arts inheritance.

He chatted with His Excellency Samuel, the great wizard of the Magic Congress, about the Rock of Eternity.

The great wizard told Merlin many legends, and he advised Merlin not to waste too much time on the Rock of Eternity.

Because to find this place, there is a very harsh and hard condition.

That is luck has to be very good...

And Merlin's luck... huh.

Anyway, after that, Merlin gave up on finding the Rock of Eternity.

After a series of events, he also came into contact with the Supreme Mage, and got the knowledge he needed from Big Sister Gu.

Later, as Merlin's strength became stronger and stronger, the power stored in the Rock of Eternity became less attractive to him.

But now, after his death, he came to this place strangely.

"Well, I think this place should be more magnificent than I imagined."

Merlin frowned, looking at the messy temple of the Rock of Eternity.

There are traces of the fight left here.

Merlin felt very uncomfortable against the power of the magic that still existed.

He raised his finger.

In the surge of magic, a large-scale repair spell was cast on the temple.

Like a gust of wind blowing, under Billy Batson's amazed and amazed gaze, all the remaining ruins and fragments on the ground were all rolled up.

Between the reverberations of the magic power, it was as if there were countless pairs of invisible hands repairing all the broken gadgets.

The torn lampstands were sent back to the sky, and the extinguished candles were relit.

The broken sculptures were re-sculpted and turned into 7 sculptures of different shapes in a very artistic way beside the wall beside Merlin and Billy.

The broken glass was also repaired, and even a weird bug that was hiding in the darkness of the rocks and struggling to escape was thrown back into the glass like the fish tank by Merlin.

Everything has a new look.

Brighter lights lit up in the sanctuary of the Rock of Eternity, illuminating everything.

"Well, that's about the same."

Merlin looked at the hall in front of him, which was not magnificent, but looked very solemn, neat and solemn.

This is in line with the appearance of a magical holy land that can be compared with Karma Taj in his mind.

"Are you a wizard too?"

Billy stood behind Merlin cautiously. While looking at the restored temple, the child asked:

"You look better than him."

"Shh!"

Merlin stretched out his finger and made a silencing motion for Billy.

He blinked and said in a low voice:

"Don't let him hear me, I just look good, boy, if I really want to fight, I'm no match for him now...especially in a desperate situation."

"Listen to me, don't comment casually on things you don't understand, especially in this kind of place..."

"Just stand behind me, don't run around, I want to talk to you after this is over."

"Ah."

Although Billy didn't know Merlin, he just learned from Merlin that the very powerful uncle in front of him was a friend of Father Paul.

And Billy saw with his own eyes that Merlin jumped out of the red cross in his hand.

He must have had a close relationship with Father Paul.

Well, maybe he's Father Paul's son or a relative...

In short, in the current situation, compared to that slightly crazy old wizard.

Obviously, Merlin is more trustworthy.

"You are a broken soul."

The old wizard watched Merlin restore the temple, his eyes gleamed with ashes like afterglow, and he looked at Merlin.

他 说:

"An incomplete spirit body can still have such magic power. The power you possess when you are complete must be amazing. You already have your own power, and you have already embarked on your own path."

"You can't use the power of Shazam anymore..."

"You're not the one I'm looking for..."

The frail old wizard seemed to be struck by the harsh reality.

He staggered back and retreated to the stone chair he was sitting on before. He leaned on a staff emitting blue light, and he said:

"Let's go, take that child and leave...I still have to wait, keep waiting..."

"You can't wait!"

Merlin was like a floating ghost, against the backdrop of a shadow as wide as a cloak curtain behind him, he floated towards the stone ring in front of him.

Billy followed Merlin closely.

With a trace of pity, Merlin said to the old wizard in front of him:

"You are dying, you are too old, the magic power remaining in your body can support you to live for another 3 days at most..."

"From what you're saying, you seem to be looking for a successor all the time. I've also heard of some rules of the Rock of Eternity... With all due respect, I don't think you can find a suitable successor within 3 days."

"so what?"

The old wizard still seemed to be a very grumpy master.

After hearing Merlin's words, he said in a low tone like a violent old lion:

"I have to wait."

Looking at the six empty stone chairs around him, he said:

"The vows left by my brothers and sisters must be kept by me! This is my mission..."

"Sounds like an organization."

Merlin stopped in the middle of the stone ring, he looked at the 7 chairs, he said:

"I don't know much about the Rock of Eternity, can you tell me your story? We are idle anyway, maybe I can give you some advice."

"you?"

The old wizard stared at Merlin with suspicion in his eyes.

Merlin looked calm, and he said to the old wizard:

"Don't look at how desolate I am now, I still have some reliable friends in the world. They have great energy. It may not be a problem to find someone."

"Why are you helping me?"

The old wizard was like a guy who doubted everyone, he asked very bluntly:

"What do you want from me?"

"A little entertainment."

Merlin said frankly:

"I'm bored like crazy right now, you know?"

"It's a disaster to be with those mindless demons in hell. I desperately need some normal entertainment... Can you understand?"

He fell to the ground and sat on the stone chair next to the old wizard, his legs crossed and his hands resting on the armrests.

他 说:

"Maybe a good story can make me temporarily forget the cruel reality. If you satisfy me, I will help you."

The old wizard was silent for a moment.

He seemed to be thinking about the truth of what Merlin said.

He has been waiting in the temple of the Rock of Eternity for a long time, so long that he himself has changed from a powerful spellcaster to a crazy old man.

He's always been there alone, like the busiest interviewer in the world.

Constantly select qualified people from all over the world to judge whether they are qualified to inherit his power.

[-]/[-] and without salary.

Everyone who can be sent here will be shocked by his power.

But no one can talk to him...

"Ok."

The old wizard bowed his head, and said:

"Okay...you want a story, so let me tell you a story."

"Swish"

He raised his hand, and the floating magic power turned into orange light spots, rising from his hand, like a holographic projection, forming a series of shining pictures.

"Wow."

Billy, who was standing beside Merlin, let out an exclamation. The child was stunned by the gorgeous picture.

Merlin smiled lightly.

When he first came into contact with magic back then.

When he cast his first Lighting Charm, he was not much better than Billy is now.

Magic, there is always this shocking power.

"My brothers and I, we call ourselves the Eternal Council, our heritage comes from the gods... We ourselves are part of those myths."

The old wizard said in a hoarse tone.

As his voice sounded, the magical light spots in front of his eyes were also reorganized, converging into shining pictures one after another.

It was an elaboration of an ancient past long forgotten.

"My name is... Mamalagon, you can also call me Shazam."

The old wizard said a very awkward name.

"Well, a living god."

Merlin says:

"I want to make sure, are you really it?"

"Ah."

The old wizard nodded.

Billy's eyes widened. He had no idea who the name represented.

Merlin softly explained to Billy:

"That is the god of lightning in the mythology of the Australian aborigines, one of the ancient gods."

"We're just wizards, not real gods."

The old wizard shook his head, and said:

"My brothers and sisters and I studied the divine arts inherited from the ancient times, and finally got in touch with the real gods in the mysterious kingdom of God. After obtaining their consent, the Eternal Council possessed... the power to approach the gods. "

"Zeus, Ra, the gods recorded in your legends, or unrecorded, share their power with us and let us take charge, so as to maintain the magical balance of the earth."

"But your duties were taken away by Karma Taj."

Merlin says:

"Now it is the disciples of the Supreme Mage who are responsible for maintaining the order of the magic world. The Rock of Eternity has become... a sad legend, and it will soon be forgotten."

Merlin spoke very rudely, but the old wizard did not refute.

"Yes, we failed the trust of the gods, we did something wrong."

"Over 5000 years ago, the evil and powerful mutant Apocalypse was defeated..."

"and many more!"

Merlin interrupted the old wizard again, he squinted his eyes and looked at the old wizard.

他 说:

"Apocalypse and Hive, mutants and aliens in the war, you also intervene?"

"Of course we intervened."

The old wizard said:

"Otherwise, do you think you can defeat Apocalypse just by relying on those controlled mutants?"

"Don't be kidding...you have never seen what the existence of Apocalypse means to mutants, it is the evil god of mutants!"

"Also, don't interrupt me again!"

The grumpy old wizard jogged his staff on the ground, and said:

"Otherwise I will expel you!"

"Okay, you go on."

Merlin waved his fingers, he shut his mouth and listened to the story quietly.

The old wizard sighed, and the magical light suspended in front of his eyes transformed into a scene with an ancient Egyptian style.

他 说:

"We found a prince who can carry the power of the gods and bestowed the power of the gods on him. He led his people and the mutants to defeat the apocalypse."

"His father unified that chaotic country, and he should have been a great hero."

"And we're proud of that, too, because we were the ones who led him on the path of a hero."

"But unfortunately, something happened later...Some unfortunate things caused the hero with divine power to become, angry! He hates magic and all these things that shouldn't exist in the world."

The old wizard said:

"At that time, there was no Karma Taj, and the Supreme Mage had not yet been born. The Eternal Council was the source of magic in the world..."

"So, the heroes we cultivated by ourselves ambushed me and my brothers and sisters, right here, in this temple."

The old wizard held the staff painfully.

In the magical halo floating in front of his eyes, Merlin also saw an angry, superman-like person killing wantonly in the temple.

"We gave him so much power that we couldn't control him when he went berserk."

"My brothers and sisters and I prayed to the gods to drive him out of this world with the last of his power, and banished him to the depths of the stars."

"But the price of victory was heavy... I lost my brothers and sisters."

"Tragedies cannot be repeated, so I withdrew the magic powers that were given until Kama Taj was established and the Supreme Sorcerer took over those powers."

"The Eternal Council is forgotten..."

"We should also be forgotten, because of our credulity, the monsters created by us almost destroyed the world."

"But you are now looking for a successor?"

Merlin whispered:

"The person who was exiled by you is coming back?"

"Yes."

The old wizard nodded, and he said:

"The stars are evolving. Since 7 months ago, the speed of its evolution has been greatly accelerated. The power of the seal we imposed on that monster has diminished. He will break through the seal soon, and he will come back soon."

"I've been looking for a successor, but it's never been more urgent."

"When we came..."

Merlin says:

"Someone just attacked you, I guess, because you were in a hurry and made an accidental mistake?"

"Ah."

The old wizard said:

"You are very wise, indeed, I was too anxious."

"I didn't realize that in this world, there was a person who was rejected by me and whose mind was extremely impure. He relied on his own wisdom to break the spell of the Rock of Eternity."

"He came back here, but instead of inheriting my power, he took away the magic pupil."

The old wizard heaved a long sigh, and said:

"There will be chaos in the world."

"Magic pupil?"

Merlin's eyes jumped, and he said:

"what is that?"

The old wizard turned his head away and glanced at Merlin, a strange smile appeared on his face.

他 说:

"It's bad, it's a bad thing. Legend has it that Pandora opened the ink cartridge and released all disasters into the world. That's God's punishment for this world..."

"The magic pupil comes from that box, it is the sin of all beings released, the seven deadly sins..."

"Seven deadly sins?"

Merlin sneered, he shook his head, and said:

"Although I haven't seen the magic pupils, but are they?"

"Evil things that can be sealed by an old wizard... They don't deserve such a domineering name."

Merlin closed his eyes and said:

"I've seen the real Seven Deadly Sins... Queen of Pride, my sister... She can destroy this place of yours with one finger."

The old wizard did not refute Merlin's words, he put away the magic that was shining in front of him, and said:

"The story is over, do you want to help?"

"Of course, I mean what I say."

Merlin raised his hand and pushed Billy Batson, who was still immersed in the story, a step forward.

He opened his eyes and said to the old wizard:

"He's the one you've been waiting for."

"Give him your strength."
