Chapter 894: Return
By the time Merlin had taken over Eric's Mage Tower, the plesioneck had all but finished the Vulture - all that was left of the magical shield that had shrouded the Vulture was a thin layer that seemed to pierce it by throwing a stone.
At this time, most of the magic weapons on the city have been malfunctioning due to overload, and at this time, no one has repaired them, and the worst thing is that most of the magicians' magic power has been exhausted many times, not only the magic recovery potion is limited, but the continuous use of mana recovery potions will also leave a future for improving mana in the future.
Of course, the snake-necked birds were also badly damaged, and almost half of the plesio-necked birds were buried in the Imperial Vulture City...... Just as Merlin was looking at the birds in the air and thinking, there was a cracking sound, and the shield in the sky was broken!
"The city is broken!"
"Run for your life!"
"Save ......"
In an instant, a large flock of plesbills swooped down on the crowd on the city walls, and the sound of birdsong, screams, and spell explosions ...... All kinds of voices came in a variety of voices, and by this time, the plesiophs seemed to have forgotten why they had come, and their targets were aimed at the humans below.
Dozens of mage towers in the city began to attack the snake-necked birds that came into the attack range, but most of them were still struggling to escape under the cover of the birds, and Merlin was no exception, but before the birds could fall, she took out the Shifting Astrolabe, and after a few casts, the Vulture City was nowhere to be seen, and a raised sand dune was beneath her feet.
"Whew~ It's a pity, but who asked you to cooperate with the Sand Vulture Family?"
Merlin looked back...... At this time, she was already hundreds of miles away from Emperor Vulture City, and of course she couldn't see anything. However, she did have some regrets, there were many merchants or women and children in Emperor Vulture City who were innocent. However, since they had chosen Emperor Vulture City, they could only bear this risk.
Merlin shrugged, took out the float boat, and after boarding, urged the float to fly off into the distance, and to avoid some trouble, Merlin released the night falcon and let it scout ahead...... When she took over the task of attracting a flock of plesiophs, she agreed on a meeting place with Malpei, but she didn't expect that it would take so long to get rid of the beast tide, and combined with Eric's absence in Imperial City, she was really worried about what would happen to Malpei's side.
The sea is boundless, and there are hardly any people to be seen along the way, even if there are occasional people nearby, under the warning of the night falcon, Merlin also avoided it very often, and after two days and one night, Merlin finally approached the meeting place with Malpe. The night falcon had already given an early warning, so Merlin put away the floating boat in time and galloped towards the meeting point on her bone horse...... She was finally relieved, she was afraid that before she could rush back, Malpey and his party would meet Eric on a narrow road, which would be terrible.
The place where they agreed to meet was a tall forest of sand oaks...... This gravel is a very drought-tolerant plant in the desert, with tall plants and slender rhizomes that can penetrate deep into underground water sources.
Generally speaking, where there are oaks, they can basically find underground water sources, and these oak forests exist in patches, and many travelers in the desert will look for oak forests to camp or take shelter from sandstorms when they can't find an oasis. However, it is not usual to destroy the forest on a large scale, and if it is known, it will become the target of public criticism.
At this time, Malpei and the others were hiding in this forest, and Merlin had already been discovered before she reached the edge of the forest.
"Who?" asked vigilantly from the woods, and Merlin could feel the energy particles starting to come alive and someone inside was preparing spells.
"It's me, Merlene. Merlin said in an indifferent tone.
"Deacon Merlin, are you still alive?"
Hearing the familiar voice, there was a sudden noise in the forest, and then seven or eight figures ran out of the forest, and it was Master Ward who ran out of the front, and he ran out with a happy face: "I really didn't expect you to really come back alive." Everyone thought that you were in a catastrophe this time, but the city lord insisted on waiting for you here, which is really ...... Great!"
"I was probably favored by the goddess of fate, so I escaped this fate. Merlin joked.
Although the other party wanted to know how she escaped, Mei Lin would definitely not elaborate, this was her own secret, and if she refused to do so, the other party naturally understood what to ask and what not to ask.
"Haha, it must be like this! Hurry up, the city lord has been talking about you for a few days. "Master Ward understood.
Everyone has secrets, and it's okay to care, but if you persistently ask them, it will be ill-intentioned, or at least uninteresting. As for the goddess of fate...... What is that, can you slice it?
Seeing Mei Lin come back safely, the happiest person was of course Malpei, although she knew Mei Lin's plan, but without Mei Lin as the executor, he still had some clue in his heart, after all, what they really lacked was high-end combat power.
Some things, in the eyes of others, were explained as a cover-up, and Merlene appeared to be very tired, and did not say anything about how to get out of danger, so Malpei himself sent her to a tent to rest.
With Malpe's orders, no one disturbed her all night, and Merlin had a good night's sleep.
The next day, just after dawn, the team had already eaten breakfast and began to prepare for the road.
Merlin was amazed to see that the desert snow camels that had been lost in the group had been recovered, giving her a new understanding of this desert creature.
The mages and knights in the team felt different when they saw her return safely - the knights and some low-level mages were full of respect and gratitude for Merlin's actions, otherwise they would have been wiped out at that time, but those middle and high-level leaders in Mingsha City had a strange attitude towards Merlin...... All kinds of envy, jealousy, hatred.
If Merlin had died, she would have received a compliment or thank you from these people...... Of course, some of them will inevitably laugh at her for being stupid, but they can only hide these thoughts in their hearts, and they dare not say much at this time.
Two days later, a large canyon appeared ahead, and the procession stopped.
"Lord Merlin, through that Grand Canyon, you will reach the intended hunting place, the 'Sandworm Cave'. Sometimes, though, the sandworms will ambush other creatures in the canyon. Malpece rode up to Merlin and said.
"Is there no way to get around?" asked Merlin deliberately.
"There is no way. ”
Malpei shook his head: "There are a lot of quicksand on both sides, and no one can figure out the pattern. ”
"But what if there's danger in the canyon?" Merlin asked suddenly.
