Chapter 12: The Pit
"Elder Ju, have you had a recurrence of your old injury?"
Merlin asked as he looked at the breathless Yueguan from the carriage.
"No, maybe I didn't rest yesterday."
Yueguan's answer was obviously nonsense, but Merlin knew that he was a junior, so he didn't continue to ask, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Yueguan observed Merlin with a side light,
'What is the origin of this little ghost, his eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, after the soul ring was successfully absorbed, it became no different from ordinary children, if it wasn't for me to be able to see that he was a human being, I would definitely think that he was transformed by a hundred thousand years of soul beasts, what kind of demon did our Martial Soul Hall have invited! β
Returning to the Wuhun Hall in the evening, Yueguan casually found a reason and hurriedly left Merlin, he couldn't remember how many years ago he was so afraid to stay with a person so much.
"Hey! What's the matter with you, don't you just accompany that kid from Merlin to hunt a soul beast, are you like this? β
As a friend of Yueguan's brothers, the ghost had just arrived at the Pope's Palace, and the ghost felt that his aura was a little disordered, so he rushed over to see what was happening.
Yueguan took a deep breath:
"Old ghost, you haven't seen that with your own eyes, you haven't felt that kind of temperament, I can't talk nonsense, I can only tell you, never, never stand on the opposite side of Merlin,"
Merlin already knew that Yueguan wanted to leave him so urgently, but he believed that Yueguan could not be unfavorable to him, so he didn't plan to think about it too much, and went directly to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong is not in the main hall of the Papal Palace at the moment, but looking at the latest report in his room:
Half a year has passed since the implementation of the new rules, and during that half-year, 867 trainees have applied for leave, most of them senior students, mainly to visit relatives at homeγγγγγγ And according to the surveys of the various branch halls, because the students can visit their families, the evaluation of the Wuhun Hall among the civilians of the two empires has further risenγγγγγγ
Bibi Dong looked at the report and was in a happy mood, she hadn't seen a report without any negative news for a long time.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
Bibi Dong put down the report and shouted.
Merlin pushed the door and walked in:
"Master, I'm back!"
Bibi Dong saw Merlin's smooth return, and was overjoyed:
"I thought you wouldn't be able to hunt a suitable soul beast at least tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to be back today, how about it? Have you obtained a satisfactory soul skill? β
Merlin nodded.
"That's good. Your martial soul is a mutated martial soul, it is difficult to determine what soul skills you will obtain, if the soul skills do not match your own style of using martial souls, it will be too delayed, and it is not early now, rest early! "Bibi Dong
"Master, actually, I still have something to ask for." Merlin
Bibi Dong was quite surprised, because Merlin rarely asked for anything from him:
"As long as it is reasonable, whatever you want, the teacher can help you get it."
"I want the materials for the soul guide, which is rare metal, the more the better." Merlin
"Rare metals?" Bibi Dong was even more surprised, the raw materials of the soul guide were actually some rare metals that had been processed, these things did not help the soul master's cultivation in any way, this material was just able to conduct soul power, and she couldn't think of the purpose of Mo Lin's request for this thing at all.
Merlin didn't quite understand Bibi Dong, and immediately explained:
"Master, this has something to do with my second soul technique."
"Since it is related to your soul technique, I should support it as your master, but the rare metal has always been deployed by the Hall of Elders, and if I force it, it is very likely that there will be friction with the Hall of Elders again." Bibi Dong's tone was very unwilling, even if the envoy of the Hall of Elders was scolded back by Merlin, the Hall of Elders did not deliberately target the Pope's Palace, but the power in his hand was not let go at all.
Looks like it's time to test your assumptions to see if they're right. β
Merlin:
"Master, I have an idea, why don't we reveal the matter of I want rare metals to the rest of the Martial Spirit Palace, what do you think?"
"Reveal to others?" Bibi Dong
Merlin walked up to Bibi Dong and whispered:
"My guess is thisγγγγγγ"
A week later, the Hall of Elders,
An old man sits at the top of the store:
"Guys, have you heard anything about that little guy lately?"
This person is the great enshrinement of the Martial Spirit Palace, the 99-level strong attack is a peerless Douluo, and a thousand streams.
He did have the idea of recruiting Merlin, but Merlin is now Bibi Dong's disciple, and he can't be strong, so he can only find a way to hint at Merlin from the side.
But Merlin has rarely had contact with the outside world in the past six months, and the Hall of Elders felt that Bibi Dong had closed all the news about Molin, and thought that Bibi Dong had one set in front and one behind him, and did not give his disciples the freedom to get Merlin over, but there was no evidence, so he kept probing like this, and asked people to report the situation every day.
In the hall, a spy knelt on one knee:
"Elders, we recently found out a piece of news, it is said that the student named Merlin asked the Pope for a large amount of rare metals after obtaining the second soul ring, but the Pope did not have the authority to dispatch it, and only gave a small amount."
Another elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, asked:
"Well, this news, is it accurate? Are you sure it wasn't Bibi Dong who deliberately released it and wanted to put us together, right? β
"According to his subordinates, Bibi Dong did not block the news." Scouts
Qiandaoliu closed his eyes and thought about it:
"Then it shouldn't be a big problem"
"Indeed, if you really want to put us together, this is too obvious, but we are still on the safe side, if Bibi Dong has not blocked this news within a week, we elders will help that junior." Golden Crocodile Douluo
Other elders chimed in.
"Then let's talk about how much to give."
A week later, late at night, Merlin was going to go to bed, but the slightest fluctuation of soul power was captured, and he immediately looked at the balcony, and sure enough, a man in black in a night suit was standing there, and there was a box next to him.
"This senior, don't you know that this is the Pope's Palace?" Merlin said calmly.
"It's not a loss that the person who was accepted as a disciple by the Pope, but he didn't show the slightest cowardice in the face of the unknown, and he will definitely do something in the future." Men in Black
Merlin "secretly" used his soul power, but there was a slight "mistake" and was "discovered" by the man in black:
"You don't have to be wary of me, I'm just a gift-giver, if you want to know who sent it, there is a letter in the box, it is clearly written, but remember to burn it after reading it."
Then a leap of faith disappeared into the night.
Merlin walked to the balcony, looked outside, and after making sure that the person was really gone, he picked up the box, walked into the room, and smiled at Bibi Dong, who had just come in through the door.
Plan to pass!
