Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 167 Merlin and His Beard

Xing Tianyu looked at the time, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning. He thought that it was time to go home, but the doubts in his heart made him a little unwilling. Someone who came caught his attention.

That human being with an immortal demeanor, with a flying sword on his feet, was passing through the atmosphere of the nightmare kingdom, and slowly flew into the hall of heroes. In this nightmare kingdom where science fiction and fantasy are both important, there are obviously some painting styles that do not match. Who could it be.

Xing Tianyu's eyes lit up when he saw the real Taiyi, this old man looks not young, he must be an old senior, he should know something, right?

Thinking of this, he flew straight towards Master Taiyi, and stopped Master Taiyi in mid-air.

"Hey, isn't this Viking little friend? Why is there something wrong with the poor Taoist?" The real Taiyi is very involved in the show, he is a little friend and a poor Taoist, it seems that he really regards himself as Yujian Chengfeng The cultivator seems to be.

Xing Tianyu asked for others, but he was also very cooperative, "Um, that senior Taiyi, that's it. I want to ask you a question. I wonder if I can clear up my doubts?"

The real Taiyi stroked his beard, "It's not difficult, if you have any questions, just ask."

"What I want to ask is, do you know why there are so few high-level and middle-level nightmare lords? Haven't many people advanced in the past few decades?"

The real Taiyi seemed a little surprised when he heard this question, "He smiled embarrassedly, haha, I can't answer this question for you, in fact, I only became the Nightmare Lord five years ago, and I don't know anything about the previous things. How much do you understand, I remember that when I came here, the number of people was even smaller than this, and the number of high-level lords and middle-level lords was even more pitiful, there were more than a dozen middle-level lords, and only one high-level lord."

Xing Tianyu was taken aback when he heard it, he didn't expect that this old man only joined five years ago, wait a minute, if what Taiyi Master said is true, wouldn't all the Nightmare Lords have joined in the past few years? ?

He was still a little unwilling to give up, "Then I don't know if you can tell me who the high-ranking lord is?"

"This is naturally no problem. The high-ranking lord is called Merlin."

"The Merlin in Arthurian legend?"

Master Taiyi nodded, "That's right, it's him, you can recognize him when you see him, wearing a pointed hat, white beard, and holding a staff in his hand."

This description is very specific, Xing Tianyu said his thanks, and said goodbye to Master Taiyi.

Saying goodbye to Daoist Taiyi, Xing Tianyu happened to see that the Gale Knights had completed the task and was about to set off again. Tao Lesi's Phoenix fighter was mixed with the large group of planes. Come on, I have something I need you to do for me."

The Phoenix fighter spun and stopped beside Xing Tianyu. "What's the matter, senior?" Tao Lesi opened the hatch and asked.

"If it's convenient for you, help me find out when those members of the Gale Knights became Nightmare Lords. You don't need to ask all of them, just ask three or five of them."

Tao Lesi nodded, "Understood," and then flew away in the Phoenix Fighter.

Xing Tianyu watched Taozi's fighter plane disappear into the distance, he didn't wait for the answer, and went back to the Hall of Heroes, wanting to ask someone about Merlin.

As one of the four high-ranking lords, almost everyone knew about Merlin, and it was not a secret, so Xing Tianyu quickly learned the information he wanted.

Merlin is the oldest of the four high-ranking lords, and is also generally considered the weakest one. This surprised Xing Tianyu. His transfiguration ability is mainly all kinds of magic, but he rarely makes shots, and neither does tasks. He rarely acts with others, but most of the experienced Nightmare Lords know him. It is said that many of them received help from Merlin when they first became Nightmare Lords. It seems that in everyone's mind, Merlin is a kind old man. image.

However, Merlin has seldom shown up recently, no one knows what nationality he is, and no one knows where he lives, so if he is to be contacted, it really depends on luck.

Xing Tianyu said in his heart that it seems that it is not easy to know the past of the nightmare kingdom, and he has a feeling that even if he finds Merlin, he may not be able to find out the truth.

Suddenly, his heart moved, but he thought of another person—A Song, the administrator of the knowledge treasure house.

Since that Asong has lived in the Nightmare Kingdom for hundreds of years, he must have seen many Nightmare Lords, and must know what happened in the Nightmare Kingdom in the past.

Just do what you want, Xing Tianyu came to the treasure house of knowledge without stopping.

"Hey, Master Nightmare Lord, why are you here again? Are you looking for some knowledge books?" Ah Song saw Xing Tianyu, and immediately came up to him.

Xing Tianyu shook his head, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "No, I'm here to ask you something, do you know where those nightmare lords have gone?"

After hearing that, Asong's expression changed drastically, "What nightmare lord from the past? I'm just a humble servant. I don't know about those things. My lord, I think you should leave."

Xing Tianyu said in his heart that there really is a ghost! "really do not know?"

Na Asong shook his head violently, and didn't even say a word.

It would be really hard to do this if it was someone else, but fortunately, I am not an ordinary person, Xing Tianyu thought, and grabbed Ah Song's shoulder, at the moment Ah Song raised his head in surprise.

Soul-destroying eyes—activate!
Xing Tianyu stared at Ah Song's eyes firmly, and his mental power was fully activated.

"Of course you know what I'm talking about, and you're going to tell me all you know, aren't you?"

Asong's face was blank for a while, "I know some truths, and I plan to tell you."

His face struggled for a while, it was a struggle between the controlled consciousness and his original consciousness, it seemed that he was very resistant to speaking out what he knew, but under Xing Tianyu's control, he finally succumbed.

"Then let's talk." Xing Tianyu seduced softly, and Ah Song began to talk hesitantly.

"Nightmare Kingdom did have many nightmare lords in the past, too many to be counted, but every once in a while—about ten years or so, they will disappear collectively, and after a while, some new nightmare lords will appear again. There are only a few, but soon there will be more and more, hundreds and thousands, but once the tenth year is reached, they will suddenly all disappear again, except for that person."

Xing Tianyu felt cold, "That person? Who is that person."

Asong shook his head blankly, "I don't know his name, the master doesn't allow me to ask his name, and it never talks to me."

"What does he look like?"

"White beard, wears a queer hat, and holds a cane."

Xing Tianyu thought to himself, isn't that Merlin?Does this old man have ghosts?Quickly asked again, "When was the last time the Nightmare Lords disappeared collectively? How many people disappeared?"

"Seven years ago, there were probably hundreds of people. I remember that the day before they disappeared, they went to the knowledge treasure house to exchange for knowledge books. They said they were going to destroy the dream-eating cancer's lair, and then they never saw each other again the next day. They—except that one."

Looking at Asong Xing Tianyu with a dazed face, his heart was overwhelmed. As expected, there was something wrong with the Nightmare King. Although he was still not sure where those people had gone, there was no doubt, absolutely not. What a good place, Dream Eater Cancer?Isn't it just another version of Dream Eater Squid?

Xing Tianyu's heart was in a mess at this time, but fortunately, the tenacious nerves he had experienced in life and death made him surprisingly calm. He knew that this was not the time to panic. The key now is to clear up the traces. Which one, I must not let people know that I have discovered the truth.

Xing Tianyu stared into Ah Song's eyes, "You have never met me, and I have never asked you any questions."

Asong nodded, "I've never met you, and you've never asked me any questions."

Xing Tianyu said again, "You will wake up suddenly with a bang, and then you will be surprised to find that there is a nightmare lord that you have never seen before."

Asong repeated his words again: "I will wake up suddenly with a snap, and then I will be surprised to find that there is a nightmare lord that I have never seen before."

"Very good, then—" Xing Tianyu snapped his fingers, and Asong suddenly became jittery, as if he had woken up from his sleep, and looked at Xing Tianyu with a confused face, "Ah, I'm so rude, this Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's nothing, I just took a look." Xing Tianyu said, turned around and hurried out of the treasure house of knowledge.

He must leave the Kingdom of Nightmares immediately, Xing Tianyu thought to himself, he walked through the empty corridor, stepped out of the gate of the treasure house of knowledge, returned to the Hall of Heroes, and was about to fly away immediately, when suddenly, the air in front of him twisted In a flash of white light, an old man with a white beard appeared in front of him. The old man was wearing a gorgeous robe, a big snow-white beard, and an old pointed hat. He held an oak staff in his hand, with a kind face look at him.

"Hello, little friend, I heard that you are asking about my affairs. Why, do you need my help?"
