Chapter Twenty-Four: The Valley of the Hundred Grasses
It's not the first time that Ji Ke has done this kind of murder and murder for money. He and his subordinates knew in their hearts that as long as this kind of work was done cleanly and did not leave a single living hole, even if someone went to investigate a disappearance case like this that was not a local, it would not be able to find anything...... After all, there are so many missing people here every year that it is impossible to bother to find them one by one.
So after Ji Ke finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, and waved his hand at Fake, who immediately led a dozen strong men to wave the murder weapons in their hands and rushed towards Merlin viciously...... As the saying goes, beat the master to death with random punches, in their opinion, a rookie like Mei Lin, who has just left the house, even if he knows a few hands, I am afraid that when he encounters this scene, he will be so panicked that he can't even pull out his sword.
I have to say, it's a shame that these guys don't want to be wizards, at least they guessed right - Merlin didn't draw her sword, but an arc of electricity flew out of her hand.
Power Grid ...... A large net intertwined by arcs swept away the fierce men who rushed over, but the Falke who rushed to the front escaped by luck, but at this time he was as if he had been immobilized, standing there motionless, and his right foot was on the tip of the ground, and the dagger in his right hand was slightly swinging back, the shape was quite good, but the sweat on his face flowed down his cheeks, which seriously damaged the sense of art.
Whimpering in pain replaced roars of excitement, but the fear felt most deeply by the murderers...... Although the electric shock brought them physical pain, what was even more terrifying was the fear of facing a wizard.
Gico and the bodyguards he brought with him didn't go into the range of the grid either, but his appearance was obviously not much better than that of Fack...... Isn't this a joke!
Why do you say that a wizard should pretend to be a knight, and have such young teeth, isn't this leading people astray?!
"You dare to go!" Merlin didn't care about Fake, who was not far in front of her, and turned her eyes to Jico, who was about to flee, "You can try, is it you running fast, or am I killing fast?"
"Great, sir, please spare your life!" "Gilco fell to the ground and wept at Merlin, as if he was the victim.
There is no need to torture, Mei Lin also knows that this guy must have a lot of lives on his hands, and even these people under him are probably not less bloody, and it is not wrong to kill them at all.
But Merlin couldn't kill people as ruthlessly as killing beasts, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Whoever kills him is the ruler of the underground forces in Shibuya Town." ”
This sudden sentence made everyone stunned, and even the murderers who were roasted to death by the power grid temporarily stopped wailing and looked at Ji Ke who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
"No...... No...... My lord ......" Ji Ke reacted to what was going on in the next moment, and looked at the fierce eyes of his former subordinates like hungry wolves, and he crawled backwards with his hands and feet.
Bang!
Fake, who was originally standing in front of Merlin and was stunned, rushed towards Ji Ke with extremely swift movements, and before he could reach his side, the dagger in his hand had turned into a cold light and flew out, hitting Ji Ke's throat, and a stream of blood immediately spurted out, splashing on the bodies of several bodyguards who had just rushed in front of him.
"Boom...... Giggle......" A pained look appeared on his face, but a strange smile curled up at the corners of his mouth, as if to mock them for being late in their move, and then the villain who once dominated Shibuya Town was completely dead.
At this time, the magic effect of the power grid spell had passed, and although the murderers were tossed to the point of weakness, the pain had long passed, and all that remained was fear, although Merlin did not continue to do it, but she did not say that she would let them go, and now they were like prisoners of pre-emption, lying there trembling.
"From today onwards, you are their leader, can you do it?" Merlin looked at them coldly for a moment, then suddenly turned to Falk and asked.
"Yes! The villain will be able to do it!" Falke shuddered, and then responded in surprise, his expression becoming more and more respectful.
"Well, take me to the Herb Hut. Mei Lin didn't bother to use small means such as demonstrations or favors, the underground forces in such a small place have no strong people behind them to support them, and if they really anger her, they can be destroyed in minutes.
……
The Baicao Valley, where the Baicao Cottage is located, is about ten miles away from Shibuya Town, and is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and you can't see your fingers.
It stands to reason that it is normal to have some mountain fog in the middle of the mountains, but it is a little strange that a place like this, which is dense and covered with fog all year round.
In the beginning, some of the more daring villagers ventured into it a few times. But the strange thing is that every time someone goes in, they will unconsciously lose their way, but it will not be long before they will unconsciously come out of the thick fog and return to the place where they just started, which is amazing.
Because the fog was so strange, and it wouldn't happen much if they entered, more villagers were happy to break in, trying to solve the mystery.
But it seems that the villagers' actions angered the existence in the fog, and I don't know that from that day, all the villagers who entered the fog were no longer able to get out of the fog immediately, but had to be trapped for two or three days, until they were hungry and weak, so that they could get out of the fog, and some people saw monsters that could breathe fire and spit fog inside, and no one dared to enter the fog area again, until there was a plague epidemic outside the mountain, and more than a dozen wizards came out of the fog area to drive out the plague for the villagers, and they knew that there was a group of mysterious wizards living there.
An hour later, the carriage came to a forest not far from the valley of the grass, and after whispering to Farke, Merlin got out of the carriage and entered the woods, while Farke stood respectfully outside the forest until Merlene's figure disappeared, and then drove the carriage back to Shibuya again...... As for how he rectified the forces left behind by Jike in Shibuya Town, there is no need to repeat them.
Ten minutes later, Merlin walked out of the woods and into the mist.
Of course, this fog area will not be formed naturally, but the formation is used to use the local natural conditions to form such a large fog area, strictly speaking, this prohibition is not aimed at wizards, but for ordinary people, and at the same time, there is some vigilance.
Merlin walked in without hesitation, and as soon as the illusions generated by the mist came into contact with the energy fluctuations on her body, they automatically dissipated, revealing a passage...... After walking more than 100 steps, he walked out of the fog area and entered a mountain col.
Although the entrance to this col is narrow, there is a cave inside, the area can be called vast, except for the large buildings in front of it, there are fields all around, which are planted with all kinds of medicinal herbs, many of which are never seen by Mei Lin, and the whole valley is full of green grass, flowers, the scenery is very beautiful, there is no dark and terrifying atmosphere of the Shuiyun Academy, there are many wizard apprentices are pointing in front of those medicine gardens, and some are gathering together and whispering.
"Miss is here for the fair, right?" a weak voice suddenly sounded not far away.
