Chapter 1457: Beginning in the Night of the Curse (15)

When the explosion occurs outside, Arthur and Merlin are hiding behind a fake wall created by magic, and hiding in a dark space created by magic, leaving only a tiny gap to observe things in the outside world. However, the big explosion outside shook the entire ivory tower, and the shocking impact came from that small crack, which Arthur and Merlin also clearly felt.

"What was just that?" the Knight King couldn't help but take a step back and asked in a low voice.

"I guess Harry's side has already won. Merlin replied calmly, as if he knew the direction of things from the beginning, and as if he had expected the big bang in advance.

"At this time, most of the mages in the Mage Tower should be out of curiosity to watch the battle, and the rest are nerds who don't go out and study their spells. The ivory tower is unimpeded, and it's time for someone to come and trouble me. Merlin analyzed.

Sure enough, before Merlin's words could be finished, the door to his workshop had been pushed open.

The team that infiltrated the ivory tower to assassinate Merlin was unremarkable, numbering only ten. This is also the best number of people to secretly infiltrate the enemy's position, this number can be divided into two teams to speed up the penetration of the enemy position, and on the other hand, it also maintains a two-person formation, in case of a critical situation, the team members can also take care of each other. Moreover, this team of four people is not very conspicuous, which is very convenient for movement.

The man who came was an expert in stealth spells and a leader in covert infiltration operations. King Arthur looked carefully at the situation outside through the small crack, but he could not see the true faces of the four intruders in any case, and could only vaguely see the outlines of the four people. King Arthur's insight had already reached an extremely high level, and the concealment spell used by the other party could not have deceived the eyes of the Knight King so easily, but this impossible thing still happened, which couldn't help but make the Knight King who was hiding in the shadows to observe worry.

However, this is a trap laid by Merlin, and the experienced Prime Minister must have already arranged everything, no matter how strong his opponent is, he will definitely not escape Merlin's round-up. The Knight King then settled down and continued to quietly observe what was about to happen.

The four vaguely outlined figures broke in and began to search Merlin's workshop in an attempt to find Merlin who was "petrified".

Of course, Merlin had already set up a game by using an old golem as his double, and threw the golem into a petri dish, soaked in some kind of gelatinous liquid. In this way, he really arranged the stand-in almost messily, at least outsiders can't tell the difference from the gel outside the petri dish.

It didn't take much effort for the group of invisible men to find the petri dish containing "Merlin". They tried to shatter the petri dish, but Merlin had already cast a powerful protective spell on the vessel, and of course ordinary swords could not break its heavy, hard glass. After trying in vain, the group of invisible men began to change their methods, fiddling around with the control panel on the side, presumably trying to hack the system and open the petri dish.

Seeing this, Arthur could hear Merlin's whispered snicker. The two of them were sticking to the inner wall of the shady barrier, observing the situation outside through the small crack. Although the black curtain enchantment will isolate all the sound and light vibrations of the outside world from the inner world, but this black curtain has always left a small gap, will Merlin's snickering sound come out? I can't help but be a little worried.

However, the intruders did not find Merlin and Arthur in hiding, and they were trying to crack the glass container in an attempt to kill Merlin's stand-in hiding in the container. Merlin, full of malice, seemed to have set up the program so carefully that the group racked their brains. However, the group of assassins also seemed to be very professional, and eventually found clues to crack the control panel - by this time Merlin was already smiling and bending.

When the group opened the container and got a glimpse of the stone statue inside, they still had a lot of anticipation. Merlin still made his double quite similar, its surface was covered with a layer of frost that would not dissolve at room temperature, and the frost changed the refraction angle of the light, making the surface of the double look a little stone-like. There are not many people in this world who have seen the phenomenon of human petrification, and this stand-in can already fool many people, and even if you look closely, you won't see a big problem.

Then the group of assassins began to look at the statue, as if they were installing something on the statue.

"They're very professional in that," said Prime Minister Merlin, who was watching the play in a low voice, "I thought they were going to hit my statue with a hammer." But they obviously know the coefficient of destruction when the human body is petrified, and they know how to plant plastic bombs on the stone statue to ensure that [me] can be completely killed. ＂

Seeing this, King Arthur was a little impatient: "I know that you have laid a net to catch this group of big fish. But that's the end of the matter, should you put away the nets and trap the fish? If they continue like this, they're going to detonate the bombs, and let the bombs explode in your workshop, is it really okay?"

"Don't worry, it's just a small plastic bomb, and the lethality is slightly greater than that of firecrackers. Even if there were ten times as many plastic bombs as this were to be detonated together, it would not pose any threat to my workshop. Merlin sneered and said, "If these guys want to detonate the bomb, let them do it." I can't just shoot at them now, I'm going to capture them alive steadily. ＂

The Knight King snorted, thinking that he was right. These infiltrators who came to assassinate Merlin were all dead soldiers, and it is estimated that they were ready to die at any time if the mission failed. And Arthur also knew that Morgan's men were very vicious, both friend and foe. In order not to be captured alive and forced to confess, these dead people are probably ready to commit suicide a long time ago. This kind of person will usually hide deadly poison in his molars, and once he fails, he will immediately bite the poisonous capsule in his molars, killing himself instantly.

Merlin has set up such a big game here to prevent this from happening. The mage must have something to do next.

Sure enough, the group loaded the plastic bomb and immediately stepped back about three yards (that should be the limit of the range of the explosion). One of the invisible men in the lead took out the controller and pressed the switch.

Dozens of plastic explosive packs mounted on the stand-in stone statue were detonated at the same time. The Knight King suspected that there must be an explosives expert among the group, because the explosion was controlled very accurately, and the location of these explosive packs was just right, and they exploded at the same time, causing continuous impact to shatter the entire stone statue in an instant!

Or, blow the surface of the stone statue to pieces. Because it was a layer of camouflage ice that Merlin cast.

The golem instantly revealed its hideous true face. It suddenly spewed smoke at the group of invisible people, and a puff of pale yellow smoke instantly enveloped half of the room!

The group of invisible people had originally used a stealth spell, and it was difficult to see them clearly even with the naked eye. But now that they were trapped in the smoke, their figures became more visible, and the Knight King could see four thin figures of almost the same height. King Arthur wanted to rush out to deal with this group of guys while there was chaos, but Merlin stopped him: "Your Majesty, please be patient." ＂

The Knight King stopped. Of course, he didn't do it after listening to Merlin's persuasion, but he actually saw that the four invisible men were constantly struggling in the pale yellow smoke, and the intensity of this struggle was constantly decreasing, as if the assassins were rapidly running out of strength. Eventually, the four invisible men fell to the ground, and their stealth spells were lifted.

"Heh, hypnotic smoke. ＂

"If you want to do it, you can do it thoroughly, and if you want to play, you can play yin. Merlin sneered and said, "I've been annoyed enough by these turtle grandsons who are secretly active, and I must uproot them this time." ＂

This is true, Merlin's research institute has been burned down by the Dusk Cultists before. He had no choice but to move the lab to Fort Eielsen, but the [Explorer] he was studying was almost stolen. It's just three things, and it is only natural that Merlin wants to capture the enemy alive this time to check the opponent's provenance.

The smoke of the powerful hypnotic quickly cleared, leaving the figures of four black-clad assassins on the ground. Merlin, for his part, also lifted the dark curtain magic and said to the Knight King, "Let's go out, Your Majesty." ＂

"I really hope your plan works. The Knight King said. The wall of ice made of spells in front of them also crumbled to pieces, and Arthur stepped forward, the first thing he did was to check on the four men in black.

The men looked like they were asleep, motionless, and seemed to breathe in a very small way, as if they weren't breathing at all. However, this is not a strange thing, some people who are deeply hypnotized by poison gas may have a hard local paralysis of their respiratory system that is similar to the appearance of a dead breath, but in fact they are only breathing very weakly.

However, Arthur was still wary and went over and kicked the men to see if they had really fainted or were playing dead. This foot seemed to feel a little wrong, and the man in black who had been kicked by Arthur slid out of the ground several inches. To exaggerate, these men in black are as light as balloons

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Merlin didn't suspect much, he thought his plan was working, he had already leaned over to examine one of the men in black, and reached out to lift the black mask of the assassin.

"Be careful!!" Arthur shouted suddenly, the Sword of the Holy King in his hand already unsheathed.
