What a horse Merlin is. . .

There is a line on the description of Merlin's robe: Remember, there are always people smarter than you. [So, does this comment mean to warn wizards who are called "sons" in WOW to keep a low profile to avoid nerf? ]

Merlin, a person's name, mainly refers to the greatest wizard in the world, which appears in many English legends;

Merlin is a close friend of the legendary King Arthur of England. It is said that Merlin led King Arthur to the Legend of the King (Sword in the Stone) and ruled England. Merlin appeared in King Arthur and The Legend of Avalon, but it is not clear whether King Arthur and Merlin are real people. (See below for details)

As for Merlin, the character Merti, who appeared in The History of Britain, which was written in the early 9th century, is said to be the prototype of Merlin. Martti served in the Welsh court. After his master, Prince Dandoru, died in battle, he was vulnerable, lived in seclusion in the forest and lived like a beast. He also has the ability to predict.

In Harry Potter, a wizard card attached to the chocolate frog is him, which appears as a necessary prop in the game of the same name in Harry Potter. There is also the "Merlin Medal" in the novel. Albus dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, won the first class medal. Professor Snape is a second-class medal, and Professor Gidro Lockhart is a third-class medal. There are often "merlin's beard!" "Merlin's fattest underwear!" And other sentences are equivalent to what we call "God".

It is said that Merlin is the son of a nun named Carmelius and an elf. When he was a child, he told King Arthur's grandfather, King Voldiglon, that the construction of the Welsh mountain city could not be carried out because there was a fire dragon underground. He predicted that if he passed the throne to Prince Wu Seer, he could repel the Saxon attack and rebuild the country. He predicted that Arthur would give birth to Uther Pendragon. After Uther Pendragon's death, he became Arthur's most trusted adviser, predicted Arthur and used magic to help him. Merlin likes to live deep in the forest with wild animals. He often becomes an animal, talks to them and looks at the stars to predict the future.

Some people say that Merlin is still alive. He lives in a transparent city on an island invisible to human beings. Imprisoned by a beautiful witch named Vivian in a cage made of air in the forest, she did everything Vivian asked.

Merlin. 6? The first court magician in English history

6? Division 4: Druids

6? Summoning skills used: controlling weather, Oracle, summoning elves.

6? 4 called the body: elves, dragons

6? The source of strength: the magic of the oak tree, its own vitality.

6? 4. A craftsman's requirements: high knowledge and magic.

The legend of King Arthur (note 1) is well known. The hero Arthur pulled out the Excalibur in stone-Excalibur in broken steel (note 2) and became the king of England. Merlin is his advisor.

According to the summoner's classification, Merlin is a druid, but strictly speaking, he is not an orthodox druid. In Merlin's time, Celtic civilization had already declined because of the Roman invasion. At that time, the Romanized Celts even regarded Druids as "cult martyrs" and stayed away from them. Because of this, people who are determined to become druids in this era are just seekers who simply want to be poor and have deep insight (Note 3).

◆ Christianization and the Changes of Druidism ◆

Druids are not only magicians, but also politicians and religious figures. As political affairs were gradually taken away by the Romans, Christianity was introduced to Celtic, thus depriving Druids of their religious role. So the druid can only survive as a magician. In this era, even the Celts believed that all rituals of Druidism were related to incredible and suspicious magic.

In addition to the original magic, Merlin and other druids also developed new spells to summon elves. Later, magicians appeared in Europe, calling for elves, and druids were the first to show off.

People once believed that druids were messengers of the gods, but later they gradually regarded them as wizards, and even became more and more disgusted with wizards because they were afraid of their power.

★ The place related to Merlin ★

There are many places of interest related to Merlin in Britain and France. This is also proof of how famous Merlin is!

Places of interest include Merlin's haunted places or graves. But according to orthodox legend, Merlin was permanently sealed by Vivian and should still be alive now.

6? 4 Merlin Fountain: valente in Brittany. Before the Vatican Pope Hall 1853 issued a ban, there was still the habit of visiting this spring.

6? 4 Meilin Cave: Located in Tucker, it is said that the ghost of Meilin often haunts here.

6? Meilin Mountain: A hill on the campus of marlborough University. One of the legendary places where Merlin was buried.

6? Meilinqiu Cave: A cave in Carmarthen. This is also one of the places where Merlin was buried.

6? 4 Plum Blossom Tomb: There are three other places that have been passed down as Merlin's Tomb. One is in the tomb of Noah in Brittany, Cantoro, one is in Illevilenu, and the other is in Odovia.

The legend of the great magician

As the story of King Arthur is only a legend, we can't be sure when Merlin was born.

According to the classical legend, Merlin's mother conceived him because of a male nightmare (note 3).

This is because the birth of Jesus Christ brought beauty to the earth, so the devil in hell wants to be an evil apostle to compete with Jesus Christ. Therefore, Merlin should have the same power as Christ after birth, but he didn't become so evil because he was baptized immediately after birth.

In addition, some people think that Merlin has elf blood.

No matter what the facts are, Merlin was really qualified to be a magician at birth. Druids originally wanted to seek knowledge and mana through practice; Merlin's talent, combined with his practice, made him a powerful magician.

◆ Active in the palace ◆

Merlin existed before the birth of King Arthur, as early as the time of King Flory Lun Jia. At this time, Merlin was looked down upon by the ruling class because of Rome's anti-Druid policy.

Later, Merlin found Arthur and supported him, and finally entered the court to assist the king. But before that, Merlin must have lived a strange and alienated life! Even when King Arthur drew his thin sword from the stone, some people slandered that "this must be a magician's illusion". At that time, people thought druids were too untrustworthy. Knights only believe in swords, and they can't understand people who use magic at all.

Merlin's name has been widely circulated since he assisted King Arthur. Because he solved many problems for Arthur and put forward appropriate suggestions at the right time, he also won the unshakable deep trust of knight society.

◆ Datura and Vivian ◆

Merlin has made many contributions to the wizarding world. Making magic available to everyone is one of them.

In the past, druids had to accumulate 20 years of strict practice to learn magic. Merlin is committed to injecting mana into the spell itself, which means that as long as he knows the spell, he can cast it even if his mana is not high.

Merlin developed this so-called collapse spell because he wanted a successor to inherit his spell. Merlin was quite old when he met Arthur, and he had no time to cultivate his disciples slowly. Perhaps it is for this reason that he created mantras that can be learned in a short time as long as he has certain qualifications.

Merlin, who has infinite magic and is the first magician in Britain, sometimes makes mistakes that sages should not make and only mortals make, and this mistake directly kills him.

At that time, he fell in love with a woman named Vivian; Merlin loves this girl who is far from his age, so much so that he teaches her a mantra that can make people shut up somewhere. Vivian once used this spell on Merlin when she was with him, so Merlin was imprisoned forever by her own spell.

◆ The Call of Merlin ◆

Merlin will always carry the druid's necessary oak staff. He is familiar with many places where elves gather easily, where he will perform all kinds of magic.

★ Summon the Dragon ★

This happened in the later period of Arthur's father Uther Pendragon's unification of the British Isles. Merlin is already helping Byrd.

At that time, Wu Seer was fighting with Golosz. Later, Wu Seer drew the legendary rapier and proved that he was the king of England, so he won without fighting. However, King Wu Seer fell in love with Gloria's wife Iglan at first sight at the banquet, and the war broke out again because of this love.

At that time, the city of Goloa was on the opposite rock wall, and the passage was blocked by the two armies. The situation was deadlocked.

When night fell, Merlin said to the king, "Uther! No matter what your lust will bring, as long as you hand it over, I will summon the dragon to send you into the city. 」

After receiving Wu Seer's promise, Merlin recited a spell and manipulated the fog in making weather.

"Uther! Your desire will give the dragon the strength to fly and guide you across the sea into the castle. 」

(Jiuqing: Did you see it? Men's desire for sex can make a big stupid dragonfly soar in the sky! So ~ ~ cute! )

With that, Wu Seer stepped on the dragon summoned by Merlin and landed in the enemy's castle. Through Merlin's spell, the bird became like Goloa. Wu Seer spent the night with Gloria's wife so skillfully that Wu Seer won the war. After the war, Igraine gave birth to a son, Arthur.

It is said that even the mighty Merlin spent all his energy wandering between life and death for several months after casting these spells.

★ The prophecy of the soul ★

It is said that although Merlin's body is sealed by Vivian, his soul can move freely. Merlin's soul will appear in front of others from time to time and make predictions.

The following is what happened during the Karolinger dynasty of the Frankish Empire. When Merlin's soul appeared in front of Charlemagne's active female warrior Brandman Ti, she predicted: "You will create a royal family of Esther, and your descendants will prosper." As it says. In addition, Merlin's soul also predicted the future of Hohenstaufen's royal family in the era of the Holy Roman Empire.

Most of the predictions of Merlin's soul are ten, twenty or a hundred years later.
