It was quite natural for Zhao Lin to accept his new identity. After all, he was just an orphan in his previous life, and the director of the welfare home who cared about him the most passed away two years ago.
What's more, all of Leo Merlin's memories have entered his mind and are engraved in his soul. At this moment, he can be said to be Zhao Lin or Leo Merlin.
Leo Merlin has parents who dote on him immensely. As the only son of Count Leo, he naturally eats, wears, and uses the best.
Moreover, even though he did not have outstanding magical talent, Count Leo used his connections and money to send him to the holy land of Aize Continent, an arcane academy that was beyond the empire and the church.
The continent of Azer is a continent shrouded in mist and legends. On this continent, the ancient forests are dense and mysterious, the mountains are towering into the clouds, the deserts are vast and boundless, and the grasslands are vast and endless.
Even the six great empires, the church blessed by God, and the powerful Arcane Academy have not fully explored this magical world.
In this world, magic is not something magical, but something that ordinary people can access.
The races of the continent of Aize have reached a fanatical level in their exploration of magic. This world is in its "adolescence". The last war on the continent ended completely a hundred years ago. The arrival of peace has allowed magic to continue to develop. Although the road ahead is still full of fog, the crazy exploration of the unknown is what every magician is addicted to.
The Arcane Academy, independent of the Empire and the Church, is a holy place for countless magicians to study. Leo Merlin is a student with mediocre talent in the Alchemy School of the Arcane Academy.
But Leo Merlin is still very famous in the Alchemy Academy, because his handsome appearance and cold temperament make him the dream of countless girls in the Arcane Academy.
Zhao Lin accepted his new identity. From now on he will be Merlin and live as Merlin. Since he occupied this body, the first thing he had to do was to investigate who killed the original owner.
In his memory, Merlin was a strong young man with no health problems. It was impossible for him to die suddenly in the dormitory. When he first came here, the suffocating feeling of drowning and the heart-wrenching headache made Merlin sit on the bed and start thinking.
Is it a magic specifically designed to target soul attacks?
Merlin looked at the pale face in the mirror with a frown on his face. Magic that attacks the soul is not common even in the continent of Aize. To dare to kill people in the Arcane Academy, the power of the person behind it must be enormous.
Leo Merlin was also a very low-key person in the Alchemy School of the Arcane Academy. Although he was a little cold, he never caused trouble. If it came to revenge, Merlin searched his memory but could not remember anything and had no idea how he died.
Merlin stood up and turned around on the oak chair in front of the table, then sat on it, crossed his legs, crossed his fingers and began to think.
As far as I can remember, no one would target me, so what exactly happened to my death?
Have you encountered a madman who kills people at random without any warning? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Maybe it's not a vendetta against myself, but against the entire family?
After all, the Leo family has a lot of enemies. During the war years, the Leo family killed countless elites and geniuses from other imperial families in order to expand the territory of the Dawn Empire. Even though a hundred years have passed, this hatred will not be easily forgotten.
Merlin glanced inside the dormitory. The ground was covered with papers filled with magic circuits. These were the alchemy homework he had finished.
This is a single dormitory. Single dormitories in the Arcane Academy all require expensive dormitory fees. Merlin looked at the heavy oak door in front of him. Ancient runes were carved on the door. They flickered faintly under the dim light. This door has the flow of magic. To enter the dormitory, one must hold a room card with matching magic.
Looking up, you will see a star map painted on the high ceiling, as if you can see the night sky through the roof. In front of the window stood a huge round oak table, piled with various magical books, parchment scrolls, and strange metal materials.
There are three high-backed chairs on both sides of the table, and the backrest of each chair is carved with different magical creatures, such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, etc.
There was a fireplace on one wall and a cozy four-poster bed with a thick duvet and soft fur blanket. There is a magic lamp hanging at the head of the bed, which can release light as long as you inject magic power into it.
There are several ancient oil paintings hanging on the wall, and the magicians in the paintings seem to be performing some mysterious rituals. The floor was covered with thick carpets with intricate patterns and bright colors.
This living environment was countless times better than his previous doghouse. While Merlin was thinking this, he did not find any information about his own death. This made him secretly warn himself to be more careful in the future. He did not know who was going to deal with him. This was undoubtedly a very scary thing.
The people behind the scenes knew that he was not dead, and they would definitely use more severe means to kill him later.
This is a truly devastating start! However, since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He was not an orphan anymore, so he could talk to his parents about it when the time came. His father was the Earl of the Dawn Empire and a powerful magic swordsman. Although his mother was born into a peasant family in the fiefdom, she was also a high-level magician.
Merlin's emotions were excited and complicated at the thought of experiencing the love of his father and mother. Having obtained all of Merlin's memories, he could feel the all-consuming love, but he greedily wanted more.
Although he couldn't wait to see his parents, Merlin still suppressed his inner restlessness. After all, his parents should be in the Leo family's fiefdom in the Dawn Empire.
Knock, knock, knock—there was a knock on the door. Merlin stood up and looked through the peephole to see a brown-haired guy standing outside the door.
Squeak——
The door opened, Merlin recognized the man in front of him, and he was absolutely confident in him. Louis Fate came from the cold north, an ice empire famous for its brave warriors and sturdy castles. He was the noble sixteenth prince, so he was also called Louis XVI by others. He was also one of the few friends of the original body.
"Merlin, the owl messenger has made a mistake in our room again. I suspect that the mixed-haired owl did it on purpose. Knowing our relationship, it just wanted to eat the blueberries that my mother brought me!"
Louis Fate handed Merlin an envelope with the Leo family crest on it.
It’s actually a letter from family?
