Chapter 11: I, The Supreme Merlin, Have No Respect for My Reputation.
According to the plot of "The Magician's Apprentice".
That was in the seventh century AD.
I don't know the reason.
Anyway, there is an evil magician named Morgana who suddenly wants to launch a super-large-scale undead magic to destroy the entire world.
Then Merlin took his students and prepared to stop Morgana.
At the critical moment, Merlin was stabbed in the back by one of his own students, and his plan failed.
Afterwards, Veronica took advantage of the chaos and used her own body to trap Morgana's soul, and they were sealed together.
Only one apprentice named Nicholas Balthazar Cage survived, and he spent more than a thousand years searching for someone who could inherit Merlin's power in order to completely destroy Morgana.
It wasn't until 2000 AD that a New York elementary school monk was recognized by Merlin's Dragon Ring and released the betrayer.
Balthazar and the betrayer fought, and were unexpectedly sealed away together for another ten years.
In 2010, the betrayer broke the seal again, looking for the successor and releasing Morgana.
The final brawl, a happy ending.
Uh, that's bullshit, but it makes sense.
On the contrary, it is only now, 2002.
Roy didn't know why, but Veronica, who had only played a cameo role at the end of the original plot, appeared in a gang's underground lair and was "rescued" by him.
Logically speaking, Veronica should still be sealed at this time.
Definitely, if it was just Veronica, Roy wouldn't mind.
But in Veronica's body, there is also a big boss who wants to destroy the world at any time.
This is really a bit overwhelming.
If he didn't figure it out, Roy felt he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
After sorting out my thoughts.
Roy looked at Veronica again, and after a brief pause, he spoke directly: "Ms. Veronica, if I remember correctly."
"Rumor has it that the British Witch died together with the world-destroying witch Morgana in the final battle."
"After the final battle, the magical heritage of Supreme Merlin and Morgana's lineage disappeared."
"Can you explain why the legendary British witch came back to life and why she is hiding among the gangsters' cargo?"
Whether it is Marvel or American variety shows, there is a magician world.
In "The Magician's Apprentice", there are also various magicians hidden in society.
So when Roy told some legends about Supreme Merlin, the Witch of Britain, etc., Veronica was not surprised.
Veronica could even clearly feel the vigilance, suspicion and temptation in Roy's questions.
As a mafia killer, if he didn't even have this little bit of vigilance, he would have died hundreds of times already.
Veronica was still very frank and said, "Sir Roy, rumors are not necessarily true."
"1,300 years ago, Mr. Merlin did indeed wage a long war with Morgana, but in the final battle, Monica and I didn't die together. Instead, we were sealed away together."
"Even the magical heritage of the Supreme Merlin and Morgana has never been cut off in the world."
"In fact, my senior, Balthazar, has been searching for Mr. Merlin's successor for over a thousand years."
"Two years ago, Senior Balthazar finally found a successor through the dragon ring left by Teacher Merlin."
"But due to an accident, all the evil beings that Senior Balthazar had sealed for a thousand years were released."
"The Dragon Ring's recognized successor died on the spot."
"The Witch of Destruction took control of my body and killed Senior Balthazar."
"However, just as Morgana was about to unleash the forbidden spell of undeath and destroy the world, Earth's new generation of Sorcerer Supreme appeared and stopped Morgana's annihilation."
Roy:"..."
Veronica's words surprised Roy, but not surprised at the same time.
The Marvel world has integrated many American variety show and film worlds, so nothing is surprising.
Since Morgana is thinking about destroying the world, it's not surprising that the Ancient One magician appears.
Moreover, as the new generation of Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One is not necessarily worse than the previous generation's 'Supreme Merlin'.
I can only say that Morgana, the world-destroying witch, is really unlucky.
He was severely beaten by Supreme Merlin during his lifetime.
After his death, he was severely beaten by the Supreme Ancient One.
Roy was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and said, "No, Morgana is gone. You are..."
Roy only finished his words and politely stopped.
After all, no matter what, Veronica's title is still very impressive. She is the daughter of the Duke of Cornwall, the eldest sister of King Arthur, a disciple of Merlin, and has a magical heritage.
It's quite embarrassing to have such a lucky start and end up hiding among the gang's "cargo".
Roy said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
Veronica rolled her eyes at Roy speechlessly and said, "Who said Morgana is dead?"
"At that time, the Ancient One saw that Morgana had only taken over my body. After stopping her from destroying the world, he sealed her back into my body."
"We've coexisted for over a thousand years. If I were to forcibly eliminate Morgana, I would also die completely."
"So after the Ancient One awakened my consciousness, he left."
Roy gave Veronica a strange look and said, "No, he just left? I don't believe it!"
Veronica's words in this paragraph are indeed a bit vague.
Roy could hear it, it was normal.
It was Roy's weird look that made Veronica so angry that her granary became bigger.
Fortunately, Veronica was no ordinary person. She suppressed her anger towards Roy and said unhappily, "Roy, you're just an a**hole. Yes, the Ancient One did say he would help me."
"I refused, so what? I, the Supreme Merlin, don't care about face."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
What Veronica said seemed to be correct.
Merlin, the magician, was the Sorcerer Supreme of the previous generation on Earth. It was tragic that he was completely wiped out in the thousand-year war with the Witch of Destruction.
As the last descendant of the Supreme Merlin, it was already embarrassing for Veronica to be rescued by the Ancient One magician.
If I continue to accept the help of the Ancient One magician, or even switch to being an Ancient One disciple...
From now on, the lineage of Supreme Merlin will have no place in the magician world.
It is just like after the fall of Shu Kingdom, Liu Chan defected to Cao Wei, which directly led to his reputation as a prodigal son for thousands of years, such as "happy in Shu" and "a hopeless person".
Although the things are different, the principles are the same.
