Merlin has lived for more than 900 years, and his understanding of magic has long surpassed all contemporary magicians except Rob, but his realm has not improved even at all compared to nine hundred years ago.

In that era, magic had just been enlightened, and a vote of third-level magicians led by Roland represented the highest combat power in the magic world. However, as time went by, magic was also constantly developing, and more and more masters emerged from human beings. Today, the ninth-level super magician is the peak of the human world. Merlin, an outdated master, cannot graduate successfully in the Saint Laurent Magic Academy.

This is also why Lois refused to do so by the latter when he wanted someone to take action to protect Longya Town.

But in the eyes of the female archer, the teacher Meilin was omnipotent. She subconsciously did not believe that this guy was really a weak chicken like he said, and the fox masked man seemed to have no intention of explaining.

"You are not curious, why did I choose you?" Merlin put down his wine glass.

"Because I'm the strongest?"

If someone else said this, he would probably be considered arrogance, but if Rob said this, no one would think he was arrogant, because he was just explaining the simplest fact that he is the strongest in the world now.

"Well, it's of course very important to be strong. After all, you have to fight against the entire Kingdom of God with your own strength, but this is not the reason why I chose you, or it is not the main reason." Merlin paused, "Do you know how I became a god?"

"oh?"

"After coming out of the dungeon of the Endless Tree Sea, I returned to Goodris and told Roland what I found there at the first time. This is also our old habit. During the days when we first studied magic together, we would share our own feelings with each other, because we were pioneers and founders, and every step was to explore and move forward in the darkness. We used this method to discover and correct our thinking misunderstandings and make up for the missing places. Although we parted ways later due to different ideas, the same blood still flowed in our blood vessels, so after encountering a big event, I would still go to him to discuss it."

"It was Roland who suggested that I hide this matter. The reason he gave at that time was also very convincing, because humans were not ready to turn against the gods. I believe his judgment and agree with this statement. So, in the end, only the two of us in the entire Magician Association knew about this." The corner of the fox-masked man raised his mouth and a sarcastic smile appeared, "But what I didn't expect was what happened later."

"What happened afterward?"

"About a week later, Roland invited me to his laboratory and said that there was a major discovery to be announced. I didn't think much about it and brought him a gift. As soon as one foot stepped into his laboratory, I stepped into a magic trap. I was paralyzed by lightning. What's ridiculous is that I thought it was just Roland's prank, but then he took my staff and put me under house arrest. Only then did I realize that he wanted to get immortality from me."

Merlin sighed, "He has been hiding well before. I didn't find any clues, but more importantly, I didn't expect him to be such a person, or I underestimated the temptation of immortality to him. I thought I knew him very well. We grew up together. Although I am an older brother and he is a younger brother, he often takes care of me. He will give in to me any fun and delicious food. He never fights or robs me. Only this time... After I was under house arrest, he talked to me several times, talking about my wife and son, and talking about the development of human beings and magic. That bastard is worthy of being my brother. He knows my weaknesses very well. I am more curious about the mystery of immortality, but the desire to possess is actually not strong."

"After I got the method of the gods, I was hesitant, because I was more afraid of loneliness than death, and you had to admit that he was a natural leader and orator. Every word would make you feel very reasonable. From a racial level, he was indeed more useful than me, so at one point I really wanted to tell him the method of the gods, but the night before I planned to promise him, his wife found me, and she told me that Roland had lost patience, tied up my son, and planned to use my son to threaten me, and his wife couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she ran over and told me before him."

"When I heard this news, it was like a thunderbolt. I didn't expect that he could even do such things in order to obtain eternal life. At the same time, I realized that I could never tell him the method of enthroning God. I never deny his greatness and contribution to magic. Now everything he does is indeed based on the interests of mankind, but his methods made me feel extremely uneasy. I had a strong intuition that once he gained eternal life and had a long life, he would lose all his emotions in the endless time, gradually lose himself, and eventually become the same existence as those in the kingdom of God. At that time, it would be the end of the entire mankind."

"With the help of his wife, I ran out of the imprisonment, and I dared not go home because I didn't know if there was Roland's eyeliner there. Not long after the first magic war ended, it was when his personal reputation reached its peak. The magic world was his follower, and the entire human world was also trapped in a crazy worship of him. In contrast, few people knew my name. For most, I was just a vice president of the Magician Association who disappeared all year round, so since that day I lived a life of hiding and hiding. In order to make a living, I found someone to jointly establish the Haifa Chamber of Commerce and do some small business of reselling things, but Roland never gave up on his pursuit of me.

"When I had some savings, I began to form my own intelligence network and armed forces. However, I knew very well that no matter how hard I struggled, I would not be his opponent. So I wanted him to give up on my pursuit of me, which was to use the half of the soul flower and completely eliminate his hope of eternal life. It took me a long time to finally collect the remaining 119 materials and successfully become a god before being caught by him. But at that time, I had lived in the dark for too long and could not return to the sun."
