Chapter 220: The Truth of Wishes
Everyone has their own desires, which is understandable. If there is a chance to realize one of their wishes, perhaps most people in the world will be crazy about it. But they have not discovered that every miracle that happens in the world is
The corresponding price has been marked secretly.
For the [Miracle Stone Statue], its price is the objective concept of "destiny" itself. The greater the wish to be realized, the more things the other party has to take away. Nothing in the world has ever been lost.
Pie, let alone a free dinner. No matter how eloquent the missionary is, the fact itself cannot be changed.
"This guy is very smart. He said everything he should say, but didn't say what he shouldn't." Nightmare commented on him with great interest, "Marquez, you should also learn from him. In this way
, I will never have to worry about not having the chance to go back to the past.”
"Do you still have some doubts now?" The man standing in the center of the square said loudly, "I know you will have doubts, saying, 'How do you have the right to say something like this that seems completely impossible just by relying on your own mouth?
What's going on?', and stuff like that. I'll just smoke it casually next
An audience member in the audience came to this stone statue to make his wish come true! Yes, any wish can come true! Whether it is money, love, or even resurrection from the dead, as long as you make a wish to the Stone of Didamo, you will receive the supreme god.
If you give it, you will definitely get a satisfactory reply!"
Everyone is looking forward to it, everyone is holding their breath. They hope that they will be the first to be drawn. Who knows if the chance of realizing their wish is limited?
The man seemed to have read the thoughts of the audience on the edge of the square, and laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, the Didamo Stone will definitely fulfill your wishes. As long as you become a member of the Didamo Cult and learn the corresponding teachings, you will definitely be able to fulfill your wishes."
Let you get what you want——"
"——Ho! That's nonsense!" At this moment, a slender old man stood up and said, "I suggest you eat and drink, don't be deceived by this kind of magician!"
Merlin immediately looked towards the place where the voice came from with interest, wanting to see the old guy's face clearly, but all he could see was his half-grown hair that seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray. His master had never recovered in time.
He slipped away among the incoming crowd.
The missionary's face suddenly turned ugly, and whispers suddenly appeared in the crowd, as if they were suspicious of this man.
"Well... what should we do..." The missionary seemed to be talking to himself, biting the nails on his hands, "The Stone of Didamo...
Please tell me..."
In an instant, the necklace on his chest once again emitted a blindingly intense glow. All the people illuminated by this beam of light suddenly became silent. Their hearts seemed to be empty.
Appeared with just the right amount of patience to listen to what the man said next!
"What the hell is this..." Although Merlin recovered in time, his brain seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy hammer. He actually walked to the front of the crowd without knowing it, and
Semi-demented Sheldon is far away.
Oops, this is not good...
"Leave quickly!" Nightmare ordered loudly, "How on earth did this thing do..."
"Then, let's invite this little boy to come up and fulfill his wish! Come on, little boy, come up!" The missionary's hand suddenly pointed at Merlin, who wanted to squeeze into the crowd, "Don't be shy, come up!"
Everyone in the square cast their envious gazes on Merlin, as if bullets were piercing the flesh of a child who was only a few years old.
"Tsk!" Nightmare Merlin cursed, "Now you are a dead horse and a living horse doctor. If you don't get it, you have to get it."
It is estimated that the stone statue personally gave the order to the man, telling him to light himself. Merlin still doesn't know what the price of making a wish is. He is now worried that if he accidentally surrenders this little man's body,
What to do...
"You..." Nightmare spoke, "I'll do it. I still have to be the one in this situation."
"Okay." Marquez agreed happily, and the little boy's pupils instantly changed from golden to deep crystal blue.
An evil and cold breath was released from the little boy's back. Every time he took a step, the ground seemed to be unable to bear the breath from his body and collapsed with a loud bang.
"I don't know what you are, but I want to tell you that you are provoking someone who is not easy to mess with!" Merlin slowly raised his hand, and the dark flowers crunched out under his feet.
The wind sways.
He took a deep look at the slightly stunned missionary. His eyes suddenly changed from surprise to confusion. He stood unsteadily on the spot, speechless! Under the absolute power of the nightmare, no matter what
How to change fate? After all, a man will not change the fate of being dragged into a dream at this moment!
Not just the missionaries, but everyone in this square fell into a bottomless dream at this moment!
The sunlight at this time no longer radiates warmth, but instead reflects a vague coldness! What's even more strange is that the shadow under Merlin's body is gradually beginning to split, and he can't even count how many of them are separated.
A "Him"!
A road paved with flowers slowly opened in front of Merlin, spreading from his feet to the stone statue. In just a blink of an eye, the little boy's figure moved in front of this strange stone. His hands
He stomped his foot down slowly, then rolled it casually twice, and then started stroking the surface of the stone statue with his hand.
The stone slab under his feet has been ground into powder. Merlin is not very happy now. In fact, he is very unhappy. There is such a being who dares to challenge his authority and wants to take something from his hands...
It seems that he is impatient with life!
Crunch...crunch crunch crunch!
Drops of black semi-fluid seeped out from between the gaps in the stone statues. They were encroaching on the space around Merlin until they wrapped him inside! The inside of this black tent was actually a complete space that did not belong to this world. Merlin
Stroking its outer surface a little, I feel interesting.
The lines on the stone statue gradually distorted, and finally a face appeared that seemed human but not human. The eternal voices were layered, seemingly pouring up from the deepest part of time, and passed into Merlin's mind:
"Make your wish."
Merlin suddenly smiled and said, "What if you can't fulfill the wish I made?"
"We can give you something equal to the 'destiny' you have paid for. Your destiny is very rich, but it is not to the extent that we cannot exchange it."
"Then, I want everything about you. Everything about you will belong to me, I will accept your power, and I will swallow your body," Merlin slowly explained each word clearly, "I will also take your place.
Position. Before you take something from me, your ability to force exchange ceases to exist."
"You are very smart." The face composed of countless illusory lines on the surface of the stone statue trembled slightly, "The cost of doing this is all of you. The power in you is very powerful, I can't guess, but it is far beyond me.
Once this space exists, it will not disappear unless exchanges occur."
"Then, the deal is established." Merlin narrowed his eyes and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Our real name is [Miracle], I hope you can remember our name."
Miracle? Stone statue? Miracle...Stone statue? Merlin immediately felt wary. If this transaction was successful, he would never be the one to suffer. And there would always be a sequence of exchanges. Before the stone statue could receive his power,
By then, his ability had long since disappeared...he could not imagine any exceptions would appear.
"Oh? A miracle? What do you think is a miracle?" Merlin saw a dim ball of light slowly penetrated from inside the stone statue, and he felt the same power from it as the missionary's neck. "His necklace looks like
It came from you."
"A miracle...is the reversal of something that could never have happened."
Before Merlin could hold the ball of light in his hand, it returned to the inside of the stone statue at an extremely fast speed! Something suddenly went wrong!
[I hope that in this transaction, the price we paid can be exempted. 】
"What...what!" Merlin opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Things that shouldn't have happened, you can actually..."
This guy actually reversed something that was definitely impossible and made it possible! Now, it seems that Merlin got himself involved!
"This is the other side that the destiny we collected can reach...a true miracle! I will make full use of your power, no need to worry."
Merlin found that his body was becoming lighter and heavier, and his existence itself was becoming uncertain! If it was said to be everything to him, it would definitely be everything to him! Merlin did not have the power to reverse the overall situation, and his body was gradually changing.
It must be transparent, only revealing a core of law that is even more brilliant than before!
Countless runes as solid and complex as chains are twisted together, and the power carried in this core is so heavy that even the space it is in begins to twist and break uncontrollably!
"Tsk!" Merlin's eyes suddenly turned completely black, and soon, the same glow as the core of the law filled his eyes.
His body floated slowly, and at that last moment, the time around him, no, it should be said, this time and space had stopped.
A dark flower appeared in front of Merlin, bloomed quickly, and then quickly withered at the same speed.
Merlin's body slowly descended along the previous trajectory, and his lips went from open to tight again. Everything that had passed by was going backwards, and the boy's body also returned to its previous solidity.
"You are the one, so young!" Merlin's loud laughter could no longer reach the stone statue. Time was rewinding rapidly, and the black space was broken into pieces of fine powder, sliding into the gaps of the stone statue. "I
I already know what you are, haha, hahahaha!"
The crowd in the square gathered and dispersed, and they retreated back to where they should be...
Merlin opened his eyes again, and the scene in front of him changed back to the time before entering the town, or even just when he saw the team of missionaries. The time that had slipped back was back on track and began to proceed moment by moment.
"Huh..." Merlin sat on the wooden stake, took a deep breath, and said secretly, "I'm back. It's so dangerous..."
If we go back a little further, it will go beyond the scope of this lie... This is naturally not feasible, and we have more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Merlin raised his head and said the next words he should have said at this moment: "Dad, where do we have to go to finally complete our mission? This place is too big."
"..." Sheldon naturally said what he should have said at this time.
Chapter completed!
