Chapter Eighty-Five: Hiding and Disappearing

The ice sculpture was crystal clear, and the man under the ice was still staring at him with wide eyes in horror and his mouth open, as if the whole person was frozen.

Mei Lin didn't dare to slack off, and after urging the ice and snow to sigh, she drew her long sword and slashed it hard...... Ice and snow sighs can only temporarily imprison the other party, and will never cause death, this sword is the final killer.

Click!

The sword sliced through the ice and slashed diagonally into the man's neck, cutting off almost half of his body.

Seeing the complete death of the third enemy, Merlin sighed and dragged the three corpses together, intending to destroy them...... Suddenly, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Mei Lin felt a pang in her heart, hurriedly took out a bottle of corrosive potion and sprinkled it on the three corpses, and before she even had time to pick up the loot, she quickly put away the shield guard, jumped into the jungle with an arrow, and then quickly left, disappearing into the jungle.

After about three or four minutes, several fast horses came to the place where Merlin had been ambushed just now, and saw three corpses on the ground, and several passengers jumped off their horses, took out their weapons, and came to the vicinity of the corpses while looking around vigilantly...... As can be seen from the costumes of these people, they should all be mercenaries, and there are no wizards among them.

"It's so ruthless! Destroy the corpse with a corrosive potion!" a mercenary turned his head to the side as he glanced at the corpse that had been corroded by the corrosive potion.

"Leave this alone, it's none of our business. ”

The other mercenary who seemed to be the leader put away his long sword and was about to leave, but just as he was throwing the saddle and getting on the horse, his eyes inadvertently swept over the waist of a corpse, and his face suddenly changed: "It's the Norton family, check their identities, if we know the identity of the perpetrators, this reward is absolutely indispensable." ”

......

Merlin didn't know what was going on behind, and when she went around to the front, she found that her carriage hadn't gone too far, and the red horse, who had just been whipped by her for no reason, came to welcome her with a snort when she saw her...... Well, Merlin couldn't have known the horse's thoughts, but she was happy to drive the carriage out of the forest, until it began to be crowded, and then she was relieved.

"Once you get to the town in front of you, you can take a little rest. Walking alone in the forest these days, Merlin also felt a little tired, and it was only then that she had time to look around.

The boulevard, which can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages running alongside it, is lined with wheat fields and a huge windmill not far away.

A small river meandered in front of the mill, and a few urchins splashed in the water, causing the flock of ducks perched by the river to run in all directions, making angry and uneasy 'quacks'.

"Quiet, peaceful. ”

Merlin seemed to be reminded of distant memories...... Ever since she entered the Water Cloud Academy six years ago, this normal human life has left her, and it will never belong to her again.

After watching for a while, Mei Lin took out the map to confirm her location: "According to the map instructions, the nearest city should be Blackwater City!"

Merlene's finger swiped across the map, "Walking by land is not only a long way, but also easy to encounter...... troublesome, or should have taken the waterway, at least without having to bother to drive the carriage yourself. ”

Although I don't know the origin of those people, no matter what force the other party belongs to, in case the other party has a tracking master to catch up, it will not be easy to do, besides, the dock of Ink City is famous in the distance, and the cabins extend in all directions, even if the other party deduces that she took the waterway, it is difficult to confirm her destination.

After much thought, Merlin looked around and left unnoticed, and then drove the carriage to a nearby grove. She first took out the true lie and put it on her face...... Her face suddenly changed, she was an ordinary-looking, dark-complexioned girl, a few years older than before, and the aura on her body changed even more, even if Alonso was standing opposite her, she couldn't recognize her student.

She then took off the gray robe of her wizard's apprentice and changed into a samurai suit, a leather armor, and a long sword, looking like a young mercenary. Then she untied the three red horses from the chariot, and a frightened technique frightened the three horses into galloping away, and then Merlin took out another bottle, sprinkled the red powder in it evenly on the carriage, and then left the grove and walked in the direction of Blackwater City...... About ten years ago, a faint fire came from the grove, and smoke rose from the woods.

The village with its large windmill was soon left behind, and Merlin continued along the road, with more and more human traces on the roadside, and after an hour of walking, Merlin saw the outline of Blackwater.

Blackwater's walls are so tall that they keep most of the city's buildings behind them. And next to the city gate, a small group of soldiers with weapons patrolled there.

"Stop, what are you doing?" an officer in half-leather armor called out to Merlin.

"Mercenaries. Merlin said with a smile.

The officer looked at Mei Lin's old leather armor contemptuously, "It's a copper to enter the city!"

"Here you go!" Merlin tossed a brand new copper coin to the officer.

"You can go in! Remember not to wander out at night, or you will be caught in jail by the patrols!" the officer squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Thank you!" Merlin nodded and walked through the city gate.

"Head?" a soldier was visibly unwilling.

"Shut up! Don't look at the other party's outfit, how can this kind of lone mercenary who doesn't even carry luggage have a simple appearance? Maybe he's just a knight!" the officer lowered his voice, "Don't trouble this kind of person in the future!"
