Merlin smiled, this is human nature, there is nothing strange about it, when each other's interests are not met or there is a conflict, it is necessary to find a way to solve the opponent, this is human nature.

The rumors stop at the wise, this must be deliberately spread by some people, but it doesn't matter who it is, some villagers have a problem with her, but the vast majority of the villagers are still simple and will not believe this kind of groundless rumors. Her current situation is beyond the control of some people, and some people are worried that their position is not guaranteed, so they have come up with such a clumsy trick to force her away, nothing more than that, why bother with it?

The leader of a flock of crows fears that the eagles will take their place as leader...... How ridiculous is that?!

"Canaan, do you believe those rumors?" Merlin asked suddenly.

"Of course I don't believe it! The teacher taught us knowledge, and those people's consciences are so bad that they don't know how to be grateful!" Canaan's tone was firm, but his expression was a little confused, he was still young after all, and he didn't understand why people did that. Moreover, there is a lot more that he does not understand.

"Teacher, why did you let those bad people from Lamuti Village leave? Why didn't you force them to agree to more favorable terms? The people in the village said that even if you let them give up the hunting grounds, they wouldn't dare not agree!"

Merlin smiled and rubbed his head gently.

"Because, it was I who won the battle, not the people of the village of Hitam who won the battle! In a place like the wilderness, if a person or a village wants to stand on its own, it must rely on its own ability, and nothing else, outsiders always have to leave, if they really leave, these things are not obtained by their ability, what should you do? Will others forgive you?"

Canaan seemed to understand something, but she heard the hidden meaning of Merlin's words,

"Teacher, are you leaving?"

Merlin nodded, "I have to leave, this is not my hometown, but not now, Canaan, if the teacher is going to leave here one day, would you like to go with the teacher to see the outside world?"

Canaan opened a pair of big eyes, a little confused, "Why me, teacher, and Brother Piwa, the third and fourth children, and so many friends, and ......."

Merlin sighed, she knew that the time was not yet yet,

"You're still young, you don't understand! Teacher, I can help one, but I can't help everyone, because everyone has their own selfishness, their own greed, and people's hearts are impermanent, how can they be satisfied one by one?

......

When night came, the moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and when I walked out of the village, there was no light from the campfire, and it was really impossible to see the five fingers.

No one noticed, a black shadow quietly flashed in the night sky, the sacred mountain of the Lamuti tribe, Mei Lin is still a little interested, if it is in the Red Mountain Kingdom, she does not dare to make a mess, she has to clamp her tail and be a man;

Hitam Village is hundreds of miles away from Lamuti Village, but for Mei Lin, this is just a few short-distance spatial teleportations, although she is not very familiar with the terrain, but Mei Lin still found the sacred mountain of this Lamuti Village at a glance, far away, you can feel the violent earth attribute energy particles coming from the direction of the sacred mountain.

Mei Lin swooped and stalked, like a lone wolf who came out at night to forage for food, silent, like a ghost, this is her forte, and it is difficult for mages whose strength is not higher than her to find her using the terrain and landforms to approach her target.

The target is very conspicuous, or this mage did not consider the possibility of outsiders approaching at all, in the surrounding area of the wilderness, he is an invincible existence, except for a limited number of third-level mages in Canaan City, no one else has been put in his eyes.

This sacred mountain is filled with rich earth-based energy particles, which means that this mage must be cultivating earth-based spells, and the environment here is in line with his attributes, which is a blessed land given to him by God.

On the top of the mountain, it is also the place where the earth attribute energy particles are the most concentrated, and at this moment, almost the entire range of earth attribute energy particles in the sacred mountain is concentrating towards the top of the mountain, almost forming an energy storm. Merlin cautiously approached the top of the mountain, and finally saw the monk's face clearly, the figure was slender, and the strange thing was that he was wearing a bronze mask on his face, which was very expressive, but with a hint of coldness and arrogance in his handsomeness!

She didn't go any further, let alone disturb the magician's meditation, and after observing for a long time, she quietly withdrew!

......

"Teacher, are you leaving?"

Two months later, without the usual large group of children gathering in front of the tent, under the deliberate exaggeration of some people in the village, some evil rumors about Merlin were quietly spreading, and the children who came to study here were fewer and fewer under the constraints of their families, until only Canaan and Piva were still waiting at the gate of the courtyard, but what they saw was that the courtyard door was wide open, and the teacher was packing up his things inside.

Mei Lin smiled, pointed to the room and said, "If you think the things in it are useful, take them home!"

The two children choked up, in the village of Hitam, their family was the most favored by the teacher, and they were also one of the very few who did not believe that the teacher could have other intentions, but they could not stop the suspicion and fear of most of the villagers.

Merlin took out a necklace, dark and dreary, neither beautiful nor precious, and put it lightly around Canaan's neck, and covered it with his old collar,

"Promise me, don't take it off at any time!"

Canaan nodded with tears in her eyes, and Mei Lin said softly, "I teach you knight breathing techniques and swordsmanship, and if you keep practicing, you will definitely become the most powerful warrior in the village!"

"Can I teach Brother Piva?" asked Canaan.

"Yes, but just Piva. Merlin said.

"Yes. Canaan nodded heavily.

"Okay, the teacher is gone. Merlin walked outside.

"Teacher!" the two children burst into tears.

Merlin looked back, "Trust me, we'll meet again!"

Such a parting is a bit cruel to a child, but a child in the wilderness will have to go through all this sooner or later, and it is better to come early than late.

Merlene doesn't blame the villagers of Hitam Village, or even the few commanders hiding behind the scenes, human nature is so unchangeable.

This is the best ending, from gaining and then losing, this kind of change can also make Canaan see the true face of this world earlier, what is greed, what is selfish, what is the most precious! In this sense, she even has to thank the village chief who thinks he has seen for a long time for help, without him, Canaan will never be able to take the step out of the wilderness - unconsciously, Merlin really has some feelings for this random student, and she hopes that he can go further.
