If there's anything common to these systems that could be called "systems," it's probably the fundamental principle of will—using will to mobilize the magical energy that permeates the universe, sensing the divine light bestowed upon them, and then releasing it into the real or unreal world, transforming it into various forms of magic."
Merlin introduced to Yi Shen the nature of magic as he understood it.
"As expected..."
Yi Shen nodded. What the other party said was exactly the same as what he had observed. In this world, at least in Britain, the so-called magic was indeed the embodiment of willpower.
"So, what about your Eastern magic?"
After introducing his own magic, Merlin asked Yi Shen this.
The latter thought for a moment and replied:
"I don't know about the others, but as for me, my 'magic' is somewhat similar to yours. It also utilizes the power of will. However, instead of attracting and mobilizing the magical energy between heaven and earth through willpower, I directly transform willpower itself into magic power. My thunder comes from this."
"Directly transform will into magic power?!"
Merlin's eyes widened when he heard this.
This is truly unheard of.
After all, the magicians in their world are essentially no different from knights. They both use their own will to mobilize the external energy of heaven and earth. The only difference is that the former relies only on instinct and is very crude, so it can only strengthen its own body, while the latter is more subtle and can touch upon various different forces between heaven and earth and produce various different effects, which appear to outsiders as magical and changeable magic.
But no matter which one it is, will itself is just a medium. What really works are the various forces attracted between heaven and earth.
But on Yi Shen's side, will itself can actually be transformed into real power?
And this power is so strong that it can destroy an entire army in an instant, and even fight against a dragon?
"It's unbelievable... Is there such a powerful force contained in the human will?"
Merlin sighed.
"Yes, in my opinion, there are two most powerful forces in the world: one is the external world, and the other is the inner will. The world is infinitely vast and its power is boundless. The same is true of the human heart. The greater the heart, the greater the power that bursts out. Seeking outside and seeking within are two completely different paths, but both have infinite possibilities."
Yi Shen said this.
"Looking outward or looking inward..."
Merlin chewed on these two words, thinking.
Today's conversation, just this one conversation, was enough to make him feel benefited greatly.
The magic of the East, the magic of seeking within, the Eastern sages who discovered this path are truly great!
……
The night passed.
The next morning, Yi Shen opened his eyes and felt the virus rewriting ability disappear again. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was a good way to tell whether he was dreaming or not. If he encountered a similar enemy who was good at controlling dreams, such as Freddy, in the future, he would not have to worry about confusing reality and dreams.
Thinking back to the magical insights he had gained from communicating with Merlin in his dream last night, he felt that he had made a lot of money this time!
Although no specific magic was mentioned during the conversation that night, and they were all just some broad magic theories, it was these theories that gave Yi Shen a specific approach to how to control the external forces of heaven and earth.
He believed that as long as he spent more time, he would be able to take the step from zero to one.
Thinking of this, he started the new day in a good mood.
After breakfast, Yi Shen took Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai to the palace garden for a walk to digest the food. As distinguished guests, most places in the palace were open to them, except for some particularly private areas that were off-limits, and this garden was no exception.
However, when they arrived at the garden, they found that there were already people there.
A tall, plump, beautiful woman with a mysterious aura was standing among the flowers, seemingly admiring the blossoms that were blooming against the season due to magic.
The moment he saw this woman, Yi Shen immediately became alert.
There are not many women in this palace. Apart from Queen Guinevere, there are only some maids.
As for the person in front of me, just by looking at her appearance and aura, I know that she cannot be a maid, but must be a person of high status.
So, who else, with a high status and beautiful appearance, could easily enter King Arthur's garden if not Queen Guinevere?
I think everyone can guess the answer -
Morgan, or Morgan le Fay!
King Arthur's half-sister, a powerful witch whose strength rivals Merlin's, and also a senior orthopedic player, seduced her younger brother Arthur and gave birth to the rebellious knight Mordred, and was one of the culprits who eventually led to the disintegration of the Knights of the Round Table.
At yesterday's dinner, Yi Shen did not see Sister Wang. He thought she was not in Camelot, but he did not expect to meet her unexpectedly at this time.
"Are you the wizards Arthur has recently recruited?"
Morgan turned around and looked at Yi Shen and the other two.
"Yes."
Yi Shen came back to his senses and bowed slightly before answering:
"I presume you are King Arthur's renowned sister, Ms. Morgan. We are wizards from the East. After learning of King Arthur's deeds, we were filled with admiration and came to help."
“It’s famous… hehe!”
Morgan chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery in his expression.
She certainly knew what her reputation was like.
A willful and capricious princess, a slut who always cheated on her husband and found lovers after marrying him. In the end, she was even discovered by her husband's wife and sent back to her parents' home.
Plus, she can do magic and is a witch, so naturally she can't have a good reputation.
Yi Shen realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face. He quickly changed the subject and said:
"I wonder who you are waiting for here, Your Excellency? If we are disturbing you, please allow us to leave."
"Waiting for someone? I am indeed waiting for someone."
Morgan nodded after hearing this:
"But there's no need for you to avoid me, because I'm waiting for you."
Chapter 183 Morgan's Desire
"I've heard about your deeds, especially you, who annihilated an entire army with a single spell and even competed with dragons in the sky. Would you mind sharing your Eastern magic with me? It may sound a bit boastful, but I'm still a fairly powerful witch!"
Morgan said this to Yi Shen, and there was a hint of admiration and a hint of deeply hidden desire in his eyes as he looked at him.
“…With great pleasure!”
Yi Shen hesitated for a moment and replied.
As a powerful witch who could rival Merlin, Morgan's understanding of magic was indeed something he longed for.
But the problem is that this princess has evil intentions and always likes to do some weird things. If you approach her rashly, you will easily be led into a trap by her.
But it’s just a few words exchanged in this garden, it doesn’t seem to matter?
At Morgan's signal, the waiters quickly brought a few chairs and placed them in the garden. Various desserts and snacks were also placed on the small coffee table. The four of them sat in a circle, admiring the scenery of the garden while exchanging their respective magic.
However, Yi Shen soon discovered that compared to Merlin, Morgan's understanding of magic was still at the level of "technique". He was obsessed with achieving various magical effects, but did not seem to think much about the essence behind magic.
Of course, just exchanging "skills" is actually not bad. Although the magic of this world cannot be directly moved to other worlds for use, some details of energy manipulation are common.
In particular, Morgan mentioned the magic of borrowing the power of gods through faith and symbols, which involves the guidance and manipulation of concepts. This kind of knowledge can be said to be universal in all realms, and Ling Yishen benefited a lot from it.
In return, Yi Shen was not reluctant to give some useful information, which included not only the method of directly converting will into magic power that he had mentioned to Merlin before, but also some ritual magic inherited from Van Helsing.
Morgan was surprisingly not very interested in the former.
In her opinion, there was no need to dig out strength from one's inner will.
After all, power is power. What's the difference between digging it out from within and taking it from the world?
Moreover, as a witch, she could easily mobilize the power of heaven and earth to transform it into various kinds of magic. There was no need for her to turn around and take an unknown path that she had never taken before.
As for Yi Shen's theory that "the greater your heart is, the greater the power you can dig out of it", she actually scoffed at it.
It's not like she hasn't seen human will before.
Knights like those in the Knights of the Round Table must have been able to cultivate to such strength and have strong wills, but they would still be easily bewitched and fooled by her magic.
No matter how strong the power extracted from this thing is, it's just so-so.
What she cared about more was the various new magics.
Especially the rituals mentioned by Yi Shen - this world also has ritual magic, but in this relatively ancient era, many mystical theories have not yet been developed, and these rituals are mostly crude and simple. They cannot be compared with the rituals in Yi Shen's hands that have been innovated by generations in later generations and brought to light by the master of mysticism, Van Helsing.
Although Yi Shen only briefly mentioned a few of them, Morgan still gained a lot from the symbolic symbols and corresponding meanings of other civilizations involved in these rituals.
However, compared to the gains in magic, for Morgan, the biggest gain was Yi Shen.
As a wanton woman who liked to keep lovers, Morgan was very interested in Yi Shen's exotic and handsome appearance. After a brief contact, she learned that his attainments in magic were also quite good.
A handsome, powerful, and common-speaking man would be hard for even someone as arrogant as Morgan not to be interested.
——It has been a while since she abandoned her last lover. She is feeling extremely lonely. Now she happens to meet someone who is suitable in every way, so she naturally feels itchy.
Moreover, even if we don't consider her needs in that area, Yi Shen is a good target for Morgan to win over based on his strength alone.
In the court of Camelot, although she is King Arthur's sister and has a high status and no one offends her, she is actually always suppressed by Merlin, and all her conspiracies and plans will be blocked and destroyed by him.
She is alone and powerless. If she had an ally who is also a wizard and knows magic, she would surely be able to suppress Merlin's side!
As she thought about this, her eyes looked at Yi Shen with more desire.
However, when her gaze turned to the two girls beside Yi Shen, a hint of gloom flashed across her face.
If she wanted to win over Yi Shen as she wished, these two women would be the biggest obstacles.
If it were an ordinary person, she would probably kill them directly with magic or poison, and then take the opportunity to seduce Yi Shen.
But unfortunately, both Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai are not ordinary people, so this method cannot be used lightly - if they fail to kill anyone and the other party finds out that it was their doing, it would be equivalent to declaring war directly. At that time, let alone winning over Yi Shen, they would probably have three more enemies.
'We have to find a way to break up their relationship and separate them.'
Morgan had such thoughts, but his face did not show it at all, and he ended the conversation with a smile.
However, after she left, Sakurajima Mai said:
"She has ill intentions towards us!"
As an assassin, she was an expert at sensing malice. Just now, she felt an extremely strong evil intent from Morgan, which was obviously not well-intentioned.
"Really? I think this guy seems to have a crush on Yi Jun?"
Yamasaki An said this from the side.
As a girl who is in love with Yi Shen, she looks at all women who get close to her lover with scrutiny.
In the past, it was Sakurajima Mai, but after spending some time together and going through several missions together, the relationship between the two has become very good, and they no longer have any hidden hostility towards each other.
Now, it was Morgan's turn. Yamasaki An keenly felt that there was something wrong with the way the other party looked at Yi Shen, with a certain covetousness and desire.
This immediately aroused her instinctive vigilance as a woman.
When she thought about Morgan's dissolute experience in the Arthurian legend, it was hard for her not to think in this direction.
After hearing what Yamasaki An said, Sakurajima Mai suddenly realized:
"Oh, so her hostility towards us is to drive us away from Yi Jun?"
"It's very possible!"
Yamasaki An nodded seriously, then looked at Yi Shen and said:
"Yi Jun, don't be fooled by that wanton woman! She wants to seduce you, and she must have some impure motives. You must control yourself!"
Yi Shen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:
"You, you underestimate me too much! Am I the kind of person who would be seduced by a mere woman? And don't forget our identities. We are destined to leave. How could we possibly have the energy to play games with the people here?"
Chapter 184: Unmoved & The Power of Heaven and Earth
Yamasaki An and the others still believed Yi Shen's assurance.
After all, he was able to live with two beautiful girls for a long time without crossing that line, which was enough to show his determination when it came to beauty.
But they didn't believe Morgan would be honest.
Don't forget, in the legend of King Arthur, Morgan used magic to bewitch Arthur and had sex with him. What if she used similar methods against Yi Shen?
Even if Yi Shen's cell force field has extremely strong defensive power on the spiritual level, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will not have any magic that can break through this defense!
Therefore, the best way is to keep an eye on him closely and not give Morgan any chance!
