"From ancient times to the present, the wars between magicians have been unknown. The Supreme Merlin holds the book of magic and protects the destiny of mankind."
Balthazar told Russell the history of the magician: "He told the secret of the Book of Magic to three trustworthy wizards, me, Veronica and Maxim, but Maxim betrayed Supreme Merlin and The secrets in the Book of Magic were revealed to the ambitious Mogani, who snatched the Book of Magic and obtained the magician's forbidden spells."
"Supreme Merlin died because of this betrayal, and Mogani was self-sealed by Veronica, and both were trapped in a Horcrux. In the following hundreds of years, I chased Maxim's footsteps and successfully sealed him , until I met David..."
Speaking of this, Balthazar couldn't help but glance at his cheating apprentice. David smiled and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
"I followed Supreme Merlin's will to find a successor for the Dragon Ring, that is, David. As a result, he got lucky and released Maxim, causing the war to continue to this day."
"So that's it..."
Russell rubbed his chin and thought, feeling that he had seen the plot somewhere before. He assumed that Supreme Merlin was equal to the Ancient One, and Maxim and Mogani were Casillas and Dormammu respectively. He found that if he substituted the characters into it, there would be no No sense of inconsistency at all.
It’s hard to say whether David is Doctor Strange, but Merlin Supreme is probably like the Ancient One, dead or alive.
After all, Balthazar also said that Supreme Merlin is a bad old man. Referring to the same type of Ancient One and Gandalf, it is not difficult to find that it is really difficult for these old monsters to die.
Thinking of this, Russell tentatively asked: "How did Supreme Merlin die? Was it an electromagnetic pulse weapon or a nuclear weapon, or did he survive a nuclear explosion and die from nuclear radiation?"
"neither."
Balthazar looked sad and said slowly: "Due to Maxim's betrayal, Supreme Merlin was attacked by Mogani and died under her sword."
"Cut off the head?"
"Taken in the stomach."
"OK, I understand!"
Russell was convinced that the Supreme Merlin was just as bad an old man as the Ancient One and Gandalf.
David didn't understand and asked: "Balthazar, you were not killed by a bullet in the chest just now, and you said it was just a minor injury, so why did Supreme Merlin die after taking a single blow?"
Russell nodded repeatedly. This was the truth. The Supreme Merlin had been in the Dharma Hall for many years. A sword in the stomach was no different from an ordinary person having his appendix cut out.
No, cutting the appendix is an exaggeration. A haircut is more appropriate.
Balthazar said seriously: "David, this is a choice of fate. Although Supreme Merlin is powerful, he is still a human being and not an omnipotent god."
Don't blame everything on fate. It's obvious that the old man was too tired to protect the world and ran away.
Russell secretly cursed, he had been there and had experience in this matter.
"Master Russell, regarding Maxim, can you please work with us to capture and re-seal him?"
Balthazar's request to form a team was ignored by Russell, who changed the subject and took him away.
"Speaking of Supreme Merlin, I think of King Arthur in ancient Britain, and then the Lady of the Lake and the Sword of the King. Then the question becomes, is King Arthur a boy or a girl? Is he 1.6 meters tall?"
"..."x2
David couldn't keep up with Russell's jumping thoughts, and his logic was confused and he fell into a cross-eyed state.
Balthazar pondered for a long time and then said: "King Arthur is a male, tall and tall, with red hair and beard. He is a standard Celtic..."
"Okay, no need to say more, leave me some fantasy."
Russell raised his hand to stop, and then pointed to the Horcrux doll on the table. It looked like a forbidden matryoshka doll, and each layer could cast a seal.
"I have an immature idea. Since Maxim wants to release the evil mage Mogani in the Horcrux, why don't we take the initiative to release her and then kill her on the spot to solve the problem from the source."
"no!"
Balthazar flatly refused, fearing that Russell would keep what he said, so he picked up the Horcrux and stuffed it into his arms: "Master Russell, Mogani is the lifelong enemy of Supreme Merlin. Her magic power is extremely powerful. We can't bring down the whole world." adventure."
"No, I think it's better to let her out now."
"Why?"
"Based on my many years of experience, Maxim will definitely get the Horcrux, and then successfully release Mogani. By then you will be beaten to death, and the responsibility of saving the world will fall on David."
Russell continued to take over the plot of "Doctor Strange", and the screenwriter only had three choices. He was so tired that he almost vomited.
Balthazar followed Russell's thinking and thought of relying on David to save the world. He immediately shuddered and smiled dryly: "Master Russell, you have a rich imagination, but it is impossible to release Mogani unless you Pass me first."
"you sure?"
"..."
Balthazar was dumbfounded, he was not sure.
"Okay, if you don't let it go, I won't let it go. I'm just saying it. You don't need to be nervous."
"..."
It was okay that Russell didn't explain. Once he did, Balthazar became even more nervous, with a look of caution on his face, and he tightly covered the Horcrux.
"By the way, I have another question. Just now you said that Supreme Merlin was stabbed to death by Mogani's sword. Can I assume that Supreme Merlin's weapon was also a long sword?"
"To be precise, there are two swords. Supreme Merlin loves to use two swords, one long and one short, to fight against the enemy. Sometimes he also uses the knight's two-handed sword."
Balthazar gave the answer directly without thinking.
Sure enough, the mage should be in close combat, with all the attributes of life and endurance, and the skills of one-handed sword, two-handed sword, critical strike, charge, whirlwind, and armor piercing. The spells are not expensive, just click on the lighting spell and you are done. .
The image of Supreme Merlin suddenly grew taller. Russell looked at Balthazar in confusion: "With Supreme Merlin being such a good template, why are you waving your two claws blindly when you fight?"
Balthazar thought for a moment and replied: "It's different. Supreme Merlin uses two-handed swords to fight the enemy because he has strong strength as a backing. I haven't reached that level yet, and melee weapons can only be used as auxiliary weapons."
"Master Balthazar, you have fallen into a misunderstanding."
Russell felt that it was necessary to correct Balthazar's wrong ideas and said seriously: "You have made a mistake in the primary and secondary relationship. It is not because Supreme Merlin is powerful that he can use a two-handed sword to crush the enemy, but because he uses a two-handed sword to crush the enemy. , it shows that he is powerful."
"is that so?"
David was very curious about this and imagined the scene. Supreme Merlin encountered a strong enemy. He threw out the staff in his hand. When the strong enemy dodged, he pulled out his two-handed sword and slashed the sky and earth apart, easily ending the battle.
There seems to be no problem!
"Master Russell, are you kidding?"
Balthazar shook his head repeatedly. Russell's words subverted his concept of magic. He couldn't agree with it anyway.
"Balthazar, do you know why I can defeat you easily?"
Russell looked at Balthazar with pity. He didn't know he had gone astray. What a sad fake mage.
"Why?" The look in Russell's eyes made Balthazar feel very aggrieved and he asked, squeezing his neck.
"Because Supreme Merlin and I both have a strong body, and we both added attribute points to our physiques."
"Pardon?"
"Sorry, slip of the tongue."
Russell coughed lightly and said slowly: "Supreme Merlin has seen through the essence of the magician and embarked on the right path, so he can defeat everyone and obtain the title of 'Supreme'."
"His strength does not lie in how powerful his magic is, but in the fact that he has developed a body that is strong enough to withstand magic. He can knock other mages down with his bare arms."
"It makes sense, I agree with this point of view."
David nodded repeatedly. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong when he was learning magic before. It turned out that he was on the wrong track.
"you shut up!"
Balthazar glared at David fiercely, and then said: "Master Russell, your theory is not realistic. No one can make his body resist magic without being injured through training. Supreme Merlin just... just..."
Balthazar was stunned in the middle of his words. It seemed that when Supreme Merlin fought with someone, he would face the indiscriminate bombardment of magic and rush in front of the opponent to beat him until he cried for his father and mother.
"That's it, keep talking!" Russell looked at Balthazar amusedly.
"Supreme Merlin was stabbed to death by a sword. This proves that his body is not that strong."
Balthazar found conclusive evidence that his magic theory was correct, and his face looked much better.
"Hehehe..."
Russell grinned, pulled out the M9 from the holster, and put the muzzle of the gun to his forehead as Balthazar and David stepped back.
"Master Russell, calm down!"
Balthazar whispered, saying words of advice, but there was no movement from his hands.
Bang!
There was a gunshot, and Russell took off the deformed bullet from his forehead, raised his hand and threw it to the ground.
David: ("゜ロ゜)"
Balthazar: (；￣︿￣)
"As you can see, I took the bullet with my body alone without using magic."
Russell blew the muzzle of the gun and put the M9 back into its holster: "If I guess correctly, Supreme Merlin must have done something similar, such as catching the ion cannon with his mouth."
"You, how do you know?" Balthazar was shocked.
They are all hanging out in the world of pretense!
Russell curled his lips in disdain: "Admit it, I can crush you just like Supreme Merlin crushes other mages. You are on the wrong path."
"Impossible, there must be other reasons for this."
Balthazar refused to admit it and said emotionally: "Among the mages I have seen, only you and Supreme Merlin can do this. You are the outliers."
"Haha, we, the outliers, have won the title of 'Supreme', but you mainstream mages have all been knocked down by three punches and two kicks."
"..."
Balthazar collapsed to the ground in despair. His rebuttal was feeble in the face of reality. He tried to form words several times but didn't know what to say.
Russell looked at David with a smile and said seductively: "David, I have some advanced magic tricks. Do you want to learn them?"
David was very sincere and shook his head in refusal: "I don't want to!"
"Betty will fall head over heels in love with you after she finishes her studies."
"Master Russell, no, teacher, please teach me your profound magic."
