Chapter 897 – Merlin’s Forbidden Spell Secret Codex

　　After thirty-six consecutive extractions, Lin Qiye still hadn’t drawn that ability.

　　As time retrogression spell after time retrogression spell unfolded, the hair on top of Mei Lin’s head fell like snow and his expression was bitter.

　　After another time regression, Lin Qiye looked at the stiff Merlin and couldn’t help but ask, ”Are you okay, Honorable Merlin ……? If I really can’t, I’ll change my ability draw?”

　　The corners of Mei Lin’s mouth twitched slightly as he stiffened up and feigned composure:

　　”No need to change, some frost is just …… you keep smoking.”

　　”…… Good.”

　　Lin Qiye adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and once again flicked the dial.

　　As the pointer swept through one ability area after another, Mei Lin’s heart clenched, the longing in his eyes almost overflowing.

　　Finally, under his straight gaze, the pointer slowly stopped at a certain area.

　　Mei Lin’s eyes lit up with relief.

　　Lin Qiye opened his eyes, and when he saw the area where the pointer stopped, a similarly joyful color appeared in his eyes.

　　He had drawn it.

　　The carousel’s body gradually dissipated, leaving only that area of ability to turn into a black light that surged into Lin Qiye’s body, and a moment later, a line of small words surfaced in front of him:

　　”

　　Merlin’s Forbidden Spell Secret Code:

　　The forbidden book of Merlin, the God of Magic and Prophecy, which contains a large number of forbidden spells that are not known to the world, including the Chapter of Killing, which possesses super-magic level mass killing power, the bizarre and cold but with a special use, the Chapter of Parochialism, as well as the Chapter of Seal, which records the various systems of super bit sealing magic.

　　”

　　The moment he saw these words, a large amount of information was automatically branded in Lin Qiye’s mind, and his brows furrowed slightly as he was stunned in place for quite a while before fully digesting them.

　　Feeling the extra knowledge of forbidden spells in his mind, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh of relief.

　　”Success?” Mei Lin asked.

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　A satisfied look appeared on Merlin’s face as he opened his mouth and reminded, “The forbidden spell magic in the secret codex is different from other magic, it’s not something you can just activate, especially if your own spiritual realm isn’t very high, if you forcefully activate most of the forbidden spells in it right now, they might be drained in an instant.

　　Of the small portion left that you can use, most of them require drawing magic formations in advance, or even preparing offerings to be used in place of magical materials, along with a lot of chanting, in order to barely be able to catalyze them……. Of course, these forbidden incantations have a much greater power and effect than regular magic.”

　　Lin Qiye pondered, “That is to say, most of these forbidden spells are only applicable to positional battles with advance preparation time?”

　　”That’s right.” Approval surfaced in Mei Lin’s eyes, “Of course, after your own strength is strong enough, you can also do chant-less instantaneous spells without having to draw a magic formation in advance.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded.

　　He drew his consciousness away from the Asylum of the Gods and slowly opened his eyes, looked at the darkened behemoth esophagus above his head, and couldn’t help but ask:

　　”Lord Merlin, this giant beast, what exactly is it?”

　　”It?” Merlin paused, “It’s called a Hue Whale, a legendary sea beast of the Japanese divine lineage, and despite its huge size, it doesn’t actually have any offensive power.”

　　”Japanese divine lineage?” Lin Qiye spoke in surprise, “I thought it was a creature of the Cthulhu divine lineage.”

　　Merlin shook his head and reached up to point upwards, through the giant beast’s stomach and seawater, a bright moon was hanging above the night sky.

　　”Cthulu, it’s all there.”

　　Seeing that Merlin really seemed to know everything, Lin Qiye instantly became a bit pressed, he opened his mouth and was about to ask, but Merlin on the opposite side closed his eyes without any panic and started to rest his eyes.

　　”Sir Merlin?”

　　”There are some things that you will naturally know when the time comes, knowing too much now is not a good thing for you.” Merlin said slowly.

　　Seeing that Merlin didn’t want to say more, Lin Qiye shrugged and could only sit down in place.

　　His spiritual power spread out, through the stomach of the giant beast, sensing the flow of the currents in the outside world, the land of the deep sea was dim and chaotic, and he simply didn’t know in what direction he was heading ……

　　Just then, Lin Qiye suddenly thought of a problem.

　　In the timeline he saw, Wang Mian had traveled upstream in the long river of time, crashed through the closed loop, and similarly fell into the ocean currents of the deep sea, disappearing without a trace.

　　So where exactly was the current King Face?

　　Japan.

　　The Human Circle.

　　Raging waters lapped atop the darkened walls, smashing out large, snow-white waves.

　　Under the azure sky, a young girl dressed in a cherry blossom kimono on a black background was sitting quietly at the very end of the coastal wall, propping her head up and looking at the endless sea, lost in thought.

　　The sea breeze brushed her cheeks, lifting a strand of sideburns, and her light pink cherry blossom hairpin swirled a faint halo in the sunlight.

　　A paper-folded long knife hung at her waist.

　　While she was dazed, several men in black kimonos came up behind her, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a whisper:

　　”My lord, it’s almost time, we should go back.”

　　”…… Wait a little longer.” The young girl spoke calmly.

　　”……”

　　Several men looked at each other, all seeing the helplessness and difficulty in each other’s eyes.

　　Just then, a man slowly came from behind them, wearing the same cherry blossom kimono with a black background, but the number of cherry blossoms on his body was only half that of the young girl’s, and he patted their shoulders, signaling for them to step back.

　　A few of the men bowed slightly and turned to leave.

　　Takuya Kazamatsuri stood behind the young girl, the kimono on his body gently flicked by the breeze, and he let out a long sigh:

　　”Family master, that lord is no longer coming back …… He didn’t belong here in the first place.”

　　”I know.” Yuzurina gazed at the distant sea horizon and murmured, “But what if?”

　　Kazamatsuri Takuya smiled helplessly, “I can understand your feelings, but we come to wait every other day, would that be too often? It is now rumored outside that this coastline has been chartered by our Kazamatsuri family ……”

　　”Let them say what they want.”

　　Yuzurina sat cross-legged at the very end of the wall, slowly closing his eyes amidst the sound of the sea breeze and waves.

　　This was the place where he had first met Lin Qiye and fished him out of the sea, and where the miracle that changed her fate had begun.

　　Although Lin Qiye had already left, she would still come here regularly, waiting obsessively for the miracle that belonged to her to return …… She was the extremely smart and intelligent head of the Wind Sacrifice Family, but on this point, she was obsessive like a fool.

　　After another long time, Yuzurina’s eyes had gotten a little tired, she sighed and slowly stood up from the wall, ready to turn around and leave.

　　Just then, her afterglow seemed to scan something, and her whole body froze, looking back.

　　Only to see that between the rough waves, a figure with silver hair and wearing a mask, just like a stone statue, was rolled and carried in the seawater, rushing up to the side of the coast.
