Chapter 149: The Wizard of Cartier
It is better to offend a group of gentlemen than to offend a villain!
There is a lot of truth to this statement.
After changing the hotel, although the price was a little more expensive, the level of service and safety measures were better than that alley hotel, and in order to wait for the voyage, Merlin had to stay for two more days, and just yesterday evening, a cripple suddenly found her.
The guy who betrayed her whereabouts.
If it were other wizards, those robbers and the guys who betrayed her information, I am afraid that they would have died a long time ago, but Merlin only broke their legs, as long as they were treated in time, there was still a chance to recover. But these guys are unlucky, and although they are a medium-sized thief organization behind the shadows, they don't want to spend money on medical treatment for these gangsters, but instead drive them out. This fellow was no exception, but he also had a few friends in the Order, and when he accidentally learned that one of the Elders of the Order was going to ambush Merlin on her way to the docks, he wanted revenge and ran to see her.
If it was a black witch in a normal state, Merlin would definitely run as far as she could, and she would definitely not take risks, but judging from the information of that guy, the dark wizard had been severely injured and his strength had dropped greatly, so Merlin took a risk and came to a counter-ambush.
Merlin raised her hand and put away both the wizard's staff and the knight's sword.
"You'll have to deal with it quickly, or you'll have some trouble when the city guards come. Augustus's voice rang in her head.
At the beginning of the ambush, Merlin had Augustus cast an illusion to isolate the battlefield from its surroundings and avoid detection, and as they fought, many people passed by, unaware of the imminent battle.
After the illusion is reversed, the battlefield will definitely be discovered, but Merlin doesn't want the city guards to know that something vicious has happened here...... It's not that she's afraid she'll be questioned, but she doesn't want to waste time about it.
In fact, if time is enough, Merlin even wants to take out the Shadow Hand organization in one fell swoop. However, the sailor said that during this time, most of the hands of the shadow were not in the lair, and Merlin had no time to wait, so she had to let her go for the time being.
Thoughts flashed.
Merlin's gaze fell back on the body of the black-robed wizard.
Strode over, crouched down next to the corpse, and flipped it open.
The first was the storage bag, the two black leather storage bags were taken down directly by Merlin, and then on the belt tied to the dark wizard's chest, two black crystal daggers were found. From the waist of his robe, he found a small spell book with a brown and black shell, only the size of a palm, and the surface was shining with a white diamond-shaped crystal pattern.
Merlin returned to her previous place, rummaged through the two apprentices, and scraped away all the valuable things and materials, then packed the three bodies in a storage bag, and even the blood on the ground was disposed of by her, and then quickly left the scene of the battle and returned to the place where she had parked her horse.
The three dark horses were all well-trained, standing there honestly and without moving, and there was nothing around them.
Merlin hurriedly got on her horse and walked down the path.
Karinic Marina.
The bright sunlight falls on the pale yellow sand, reflecting a bright white light.
Some palm trees on the seashore were rustled by the wind, and the sea washed up onto the beach in bursts, and then quickly receded, leaving a layer of crystal watermark. Some children who live by the sea laugh and play on the beach.
Merlin stood on the dock, looking at the children with some distraction, trying to remember what she had done at this age.
Every two years, ships from the Kalinik Docks come across the continent, and this is the only way to reach both continents directly.
Merlin sat on her horse with her waist straight, looking out to sea.
The junction of the sea and the sky. A large silver-gray ship with gray-black stripes was slowly approaching here, and in a short time, the big ship docked, and the passengers landed one after another.
Merlin was standing on the beach waiting, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind her.
"Are you going to take a boat back to the continent of Addis, Miss Merlin?" a strange man's voice came from behind Merlin.
She turned her head and saw a black-haired man in a white robe smiling on the beach, greeting him.
"Yes, I'm Merlin, who are you?" asked Merlene, hesitantly, she didn't know each other.
"I am a Cartier wizard, and I once asked Dean Alonso for alchemy, although the Dean did not accept me as a student, but I am still half a disciple. Some time ago, I went to visit the dean, and I met you, but at that time you seemed to have other things to do, and we didn't officially meet. ”
A smile appeared on the black-haired man's face: "I'm in charge of the security of this ship. I've been on this route more than a dozen times, and I have some contacts with the top of the country across the sea, so if there's anything you need my help with, you can just ask. ”
Mei Lin froze slightly, but smiled quietly at the other party to show her gratitude.
"Thank you for your generosity, and I will not be polite when needed. ”
"So be it. Cartier nodded, "The realm of mortals, although weak and vulnerable, but the high-level knights, plus the loss of some high-level magic weapons, also have a certain strength, I hope you don't be too careless." Being besieged by such a person can also be injured. So I still recommend that you contact the upper echelons directly and find the bloodline nobles. ”
"Bloodline nobles?" Merlin heard the term for the first time.
"Oh, I forgot, I'm so sorry. We'll talk about it when we get to the boat. Cartier suddenly thought of something, and suddenly a look of apology suddenly appeared on his face, and he even bowed slightly.
Mei Lin hurriedly returned the salute.
"You don't need to be so apologetic, there's nothing about your rudeness. "She's a little confused.
When they reached the deck, a crew member took the horses and placed them, and Cartier explained.
"No, no, no, I didn't notice you...... Let me talk about the bloodline aristocracy, the so-called bloodline nobles, in fact, are commonly known as the royal family, the royal family. In fact, in this world, no matter where it is, the highest center of power, there are shadows of wizards. The first rulers of the royal families on the opposite continent were some old wizards who had no hope of promotion and could not increase their lifespan. They started their own empire, and some lucky wizards left their bloodlines behind. You also know that the higher the level, the harder it is to leave an heir. Therefore, in some countries, when wizards are dying, they will leave some demonic items to ensure the safety and stability of the descendants of the kingdom. And the descendants of these wizards are commonly known as the royal family. Almost all royal families were blood nobles. Because the royal family without bloodline is simply unable to face the tilt of other bloodline nobles. These are things that only the royal family or the wizard apprentices who know a lot about them know, but I didn't pay attention to them just now. ”
Cartier paused, as if with some emotion. (To be continued.) )
