Chapter 24: 1 trade

Arthur Pendragon.

Even if Ethan did not get the ‘language pack’ transmitted by Merlin, he could still know the identity of the boy in front of him only from the pronunciation.

"This product is King Arthur?"

He can basically be sure that this world is not one of the "movie worlds" he is familiar with. If it is a movie world, the film companies of the United Kingdom and the United States will basically shoot King Arthur, and they will definitely use English for dialogue instead of one. Languages ​​that I have not been exposed to.

His historical knowledge is also the case, most of which are obtained from online novels. Just as he knew that King Arthur was a native hero of the British Isles, the time of existence is not very clear, and it is not even certain whether this person actually exists—of course, it is certain that it does exist on this plane.

In the British Isles of this period, it is of course impossible to use modern English, or even ancient English.

"Could it be ancient Celtic?"

Ethan is not very sure, he can only guess wildly.

Carefully looked at the boy in front of him. The blond hair was as dazzling as the sun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face of righteousness. The description of the sun at 8 o'clock in the morning seemed to be tailored for this boy.

"Hello, Arthur, nice to meet you, my name is Ethan."

Ethan nodded and officially greeted the young King Arthur. This was the first time he introduced his name.

The young heir to the throne gave a formal reply, but Ethan felt a little embarrassed. "I am also very happy to meet you, Your Excellency Ethan."

"After getting acquainted, let's talk about business." Merlin, who had been sitting next to him, saw the two people introduced each other and mastered the topic again: "Actually, I hope Ethan can help me a little bit, so It will stop you when you are teleporting magic."

Ethan did not interject, he was waiting for the following text, and Merlin did not play any mystery, and directly stated his purpose.

It turned out that Merlin, after teaching Arthur for a few years, saw him getting older, and wanted to take him out for a period of time to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge. By the way, it would also allow him to get a good understanding of the current situation in this country. It will be of great benefit for him to rule this country in the future.

At this time, he noticed that a magician used powerful time and space energy to break through the barriers of the plane and came to this world. A new thought suddenly appeared, and he would never stop thinking about it since it came out. He couldn't hold it back, and he didn't even continue to waste time thinking about it. He just shot Ethan and'drew' it in front of him.

Actually, Merlin originally planned to contact Ethan for a period of time to learn about the other person's personality, and at the same time sort out his own thoughts, and then consider whether it is reliable or not. It's just that he is not an unreasonable person after all. Ethan wants to know why he brought him here, so Merlin felt that he should give a reason.

After hearing Merlin's request to himself, Ethan felt that the famous legendary mage was too worried.

"You mean... let Arthur go to other worlds with me?"

That's right, Merlin had such an idea suddenly. He thought it would be enough to let Arthur understand the world. I don't know how, suddenly such an idea arose in my heart, and when it came out, it was a bit closed. Can't help.

As a powerful magician, he knew that he would not have such thoughts for no reason. Then maybe it was the powerful energy that stimulated him to have such thoughts at that moment.

It was also because of this, that Merlin decided to explain it directly to Ethan. He didn't think Ethan would refuse, because he had enough chips to talk to Ethan. As for Ethan's character? He also has enough time to investigate. If he is really an unbearable villain, Old Mage Merlin is not that kind of pedantic old stubborn, and it won't be too much trouble to get rid of an evil easily.

"Yes, I suddenly felt that if you want him to be the best king, you need to see more and know more."

Ethan squeezed the bridge of his nose, he felt that the amount of information was a bit too large.

"Because of this, do you want him to go with me to other worlds and run around? Let's not talk about anything else. You should know my strength. I can't guarantee his safety."

Merlin didn't answer this time, but Arthur, who had not spoken, spoke.

"If I lose my life while traveling, it proves that I am not eligible to inherit the throne." After a pause, Arthur added: "In addition, I have studied swordsmanship for a long time here in Merlin, so I can completely protect myself."

Ethan did not answer, but continued to look at Merlin.

"As Arthur said, if he loses his life during the trip, then maybe he shouldn't inherit the throne." Merlin looked at Ethan, as if explaining what the two had said. "If you want to become a king, you will encounter many difficulties and dangers, and many of them are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Sooner or later, Arthur will face various crises. He needs a suitable environment to train him to face each The ability of this kind of situation."

Ethan nodded, the last sentence barely acceptable.

"However, what if he leaves with me and can't come back again? You should be able to see that I can't control those powerful space-time energies freely."

Merlin can of course see it, and it is precisely because of this that he has the bargaining chip to sit here and negotiate with Ethan.

"Yes, your control of those energies is terrible, so I will teach you for a while." Merlin's bargaining chip this time is not unimportant. He believes that no young magician can openly reject the legend. The guidance of the magician Merlin.

Ethan will not work either!

He really needs an excellent tutor to provide professional and systematic guidance. Although he has not encountered a bottleneck during this period of time, all of that is because his starting point is too low, and it takes quite a long time to cultivate until the entry stage. time.

Ethan knows this, and in order to avoid encountering bottlenecks, he expands his cultivation direction as much as possible. Learning the making of magic potions, learning the construction of magic circles, etc., are all precautions made in advance to avoid bottlenecks when they have no other means to improve their strength.

"Everything about magic?"

can't seem to refuse? Ethan still needs to confirm whether Merlin's teaching is limited to the application of space-time energy, or whether he can learn everything he knows.

"It's not just about magic."

Merlin’s answer made Ethan very happy, but now he hopes that the ‘deal’ will be successfully concluded.

If this is a business negotiation, I guess Ethan will have to sign a long list of unequal treaties to achieve his goals.

Fortunately, none of the people present were businessmen, and this was not a business negotiation; the moral qualities of several people were also on the standard line, and there was no need to even sign any contract. Both sides reached a tacit consensus.

Next is the mutual understanding phase.

Whether it is to facilitate Merlin's teaching or to increase understanding with future ‘teammates’, Ethan needs to talk about something in detail.

"We can put your personal cultivation situation aside first, I think what Arthur wants to know most is the world that he will experience next."

Ethan shrugged and briefly introduced the world he had experienced.

The Marvel Universe himself was caught by Gu Yi and didn't get it done anywhere, so there is nothing to say. The Dark World roughly talked about it, but it was mainly limited to the adventures he had experienced.

mainly talks about the calm sea, a world full of oceans. For example, everyone has to find magical islands on the sea, collect all kinds of materials to maintain their lives, and so on.

This completely different magical world made the young Arthur feel very magical. It was rare to reveal a little childishness of his age-there seemed to be needles under his butt, and he couldn't sit still.

As for the way to travel through various worlds, Merlin initially thought that Ethan had some powerful magic items, but he did not expect it to be similar to a kind of talented ability-he had never risen to **** with extraordinary strength. If he really had such an idea, Ethan would have nothing to do, so he could only choose to believe in Merlin's character. Fortunately, Merlin's character is pretty good.

"So this is ah."

After listening to Ethan’s introduction of his abilities, Merlin also understood why Ethan’s mental power is only stronger than ordinary people Magic power is not even greater, but it can spur such a huge energy to transmit on the plane. .

After observing the energy pointer in Ethan’s hand, Merlin realized that he couldn’t see how this thing exists. Finally, he could only give his own advice: "Although I don’t understand the reason for this thing’s existence and the principle of operation, but for For the mage, any energy can be controlled, the only difference lies in the difficulty of control."

Therefore, Merlin suggested that Ethan, taking advantage of the large amount of space-time energy in his body, seize the time to practice his control of energy, instead of letting them dissipate naturally in his body, and then passively trigger the teleportation when he is about to disappear. Kick back to the original world.

"If my guess is correct, the more you have control over time and space energy, your ability will change accordingly."

What exactly will change, Merlin is not very clear.

Ethan does have a lot of speculations, for example, he can go back and forth more freely; he doesn’t even start directly after absorbing space-time energy, but stores it and transmits it when needed; and even specifically locates the world he wants to go to. Not so randomly.

These are all directions, and he has not thought of them, but he lacks the means to achieve these goals.

Now Merlin pointed out one to him, which is to strengthen his control over energy.

It just so happens that controlling energy is an ability that magicians must master, but he has been practicing spiritual power honestly before, and wants to wait until the spiritual power reaches a certain strength before learning.

In addition to this factor, there is another important reason, that is, the energy absorbed by the first contact is likely to affect the life of a magician, so we must be careful!

Merlin also specifically mentioned this at this time.
