Chapter 35: The Wise Oak

Descending the spiral staircase, you soon come to an underground library full of dusty bookshelves and books with old covers.

That's right, this is it.

Looking at the ghostly underground library in front of him, Qin Yu was relieved.

Since it's for players to find, it's naturally impossible to really do it too hidden, and the meaning is fine.

The next thing to do is to find the book you are looking for.

Qin Yu thought about it, and slowly wandered between the bookshelves.

Whenever he passes by a book, there are often some strange whispers in his ears, those old books seem to be very unusual one by one, some wear bursts of whispers, attracting him to read, some look bland, but people inexplicably feel that there is a secret hidden in it, there is a desire to open it to see, and some suddenly float a trace of dust, as if the book is sealed with some strange power is restless, in short, more or less people will have a strange feeling.

This kind of atmosphere is mysterious and mysterious, and it is very weird, if you change the average player, it is estimated that you will have completely indulged in it.

It's a pity that for Qin Yu, an old player, the rendering of this environment is completely trivial, and the flattering eyes are thrown to the blind.

He's not a novice who hasn't played this kind of game.,Knowing that these are just game effects.,Although the mission introduction says that there is only one mysterious ancient book in this library.,But in fact,Every book can be regarded as a mysterious ancient book.,As long as you open it.,There will be some kind of anomaly telling the player that you've found the right one.,But as long as you read one of them.,The others will automatically become ordinary books.。

In a sense, it can be considered 'Schrödinger's books', all of which are currently in quantum form, and may be mysterious ancient books - or just ordinary books, depending on the player's choice.

Of course, this is because Qin Yu knows the truth to think so, if they change to ordinary players, they will only feel that they are really like the protagonist of the novel, as if they were driven by an incredible mysterious power, and accidentally found the real mysterious ancient book.

The Book of Prometheus? Hehe, the things in Greek mythology are still forgotten.

Necronomicon? It's better to touch less things in Cthulhu.

The Apocalypse of Christ? I'm sorry, but I don't really get along with God's old man.

Hey, there's even a book of clover!? This is a book related to Lady Luck.,The occultist only has a one-third chance of brushing out at the beginning.,I didn't expect to be met by myself.,It's a pity that I already have a heart.,I can only be sorry.。

Qin Yu soon came to the most central position of the library, according to the records on the strategy, the Book of Merlin should generally be refreshed in this position, this book is a hidden object, and it must be found with a high level of perception.

However, it is a small square open space, where a desk is placed for reading, but there is no bookshelf.

There was a book on the desk that had not been opened, Qin Yu stroked the dust on the cover, but it was not what he was looking for.

Suddenly, he noticed something unusual, as if something was peeking at him, he took two steps back, and looked carefully in front of him, there were nine pillars in the library, distributed in a nine-palace layout, and there happened to be one in the center, just behind the desk, the pillar seemed to be made of the whole tree trunk, without painting, and the lines of the trees could still be seen on the surface, and on that pillar, the lines vaguely formed a vague pattern of human faces.

The feeling of peeping came from that blurred human face.

That's the benefit of high perception, a vague feeling that can't be ignored.

Could it be—he hurried over and sniffed, yes, there was a smell of oak coming from the pillar, it was an oak pillar.

Merlin is also known as the Oak Sage because according to the legend, Merlin was trapped in an oak tree by his apprentice witch Vivien, and the legend is usually biased, but there should be some reason for it.

And Merlin was a Celtic, and the Celts were also the birthplace of Druid culture, in which oaks were very sacred plants, and there is a saying that Merlin was a Druid wizard himself.

No matter, just try it and you'll know.

Qin Yu thought about it, cut his fingers, and gently smeared the blood on the pillar.

Stimulated by the blood, the blurred face slowly squirmed as if it had just woken up, and a gap slowly opened where the mouth was located, as if the face on this pillar wanted to lick the blood, between the gaps, the cover of an ancient book flashed away, Qin Yu's eyes were quick, and he stretched it in, but before he could withdraw, the gap suddenly closed and bit him squarely, and then, the eyes on the blurred human face opened suddenly.

Qin Yu's hand was bitten, and he suddenly became a little nervous, although it was only 10% painful, it was still very painful, fortunately, this face was not dead.

"Who are you—mortal?" The face made an old sound.

"I'm a scholar, and my name is Merlin Preor." Qin Yu said.

"Merlin Preor? Why is it called such a name? Why is it called Merlin? ”

"Because I worship Merlin, the ancient wizard, so—"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it. There are still people who remember my name, and there are people who worship me as a loser. The face burst out laughing.

Qin Yu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Could it be that you are the legendary Merlin?" Oh my God, I'm a fan of yours, but why are you here? ”

"I'm not here, I'm just an incarnation of me, I'm the spirit of the oak tree, and wherever there is an oak tree, there is my existence." That strange face seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yu's adoring tone.

Qin Yu was relieved when he saw it, but fortunately, he had such a name at the beginning.

This is also an inspiration, because when I found out that those NPCs really seem to have intelligence, for example, when he learned that his name was Hulk and his second uncle, Iron Man would ask Hulk if he was his relative or something.

Therefore, this time the name was specially prepared, and I didn't expect it to really come in handy.

Merlin didn't know what Qin Yu was thinking, and asked, "You want to get my magic book?" “

Qin Yu shook his head, "I didn't know this was your book, I just sensed some kind of calling, as if there was fate pushing me in the dark, it seemed that there was a voice calling me to come here and look for it, but if it was really your book, it would be a great honor for me to be able to get your inheritance." ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, although Qin Yu did not add extra points to his eloquence, but this good meal made Merlin say a little smoky.

The point is that Merlin can feel that the reason why the person in front of him is here is indeed driven by some kind of fate force (the game script).

"Well, if that's what you really think, I can give you the book, this Book of Merlin records some of the magic I mastered during my lifetime, although it was not written by me, but it does represent my heritage, and you must swear that if one day you gain enough power, you must find a way to release me."

"Are you really trapped in an oak tree by Vivien?"

"That's right, although it's a bit embarrassing to say, I'm sealed by a powerful spell, and only an artifact called the Eye of Agamotto can break the seal, and you must find a way to find it and free me."

System Prompt: Trigger the epic quest [Merlin's Redemption] to find the eye of Agomoto and free the imprisoned Merlin. Yes or no, yes/no. (Players can only accept one epic quest)
