The broken sword sank deep into the neck of the red dragon, Xia Mingdao's hand continued to exert force, and continued to pierce the sword into it, until it did not enter the position of the hilt of the sword, and at this moment, the red dragon also stopped resisting, and the huge body floated on the water, panting heavily, as if he had completely lost the ability to fight.

Xia Mingdao's hand holding the hilt of the sword didn't dare to let go, he was still exerting his strength, until after a long time to confirm that the dragon under his feet would not resist anymore, he fell on the body of the red dragon, constantly gasping. Cold sweat fell like a waterfall, wetting the shirt he was wearing inside.

Sitting on the red dragon's body and breathing a sigh of relief, Xia Mingdao stood up, turned over and jumped down, and his feet spread out again on the ice above the lake, and Xia Mingdao walked towards the white bones step by step from above the lake.

Walking to the position of the giant tree, Xia Mingdao gasped, looked at the white bone with a gloomy face, and said after a long time: "I, I have already defeated it." ”

The hollow eye sockets of the white bones looked directly at Xia Mingdao, and after a long time, he made a voice: "Well, I saw it, how can I say it...... You're quite unexpected. ”

Xia Mingdao smiled faintly, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the exquisite lock hanging on the white bone body.

The lock made a loud click, and the thin silver lines around it also emitted a faint light after the lock was opened, and then disappeared without a trace, and the connection hanging on the body of the white bone was also broken at this moment, and the lock no longer had any point to support it, and fell from the chest of the white bone and fell into the lake, splashing a small splash.

The light blue light flew out from the body of the white bone, in Xia Mingdao's surprised gaze, the light began to condense together, and gradually formed a human figure, when the last gap was filled, the human figure emitted a burst of dazzling light, after the light faded, I saw that on the top of the white bone's head, a middle-aged man wearing a blue and white robe, with long silver hair, was floating there, from his body, Xia Mingdao could feel a burst of extremely obvious spiritual power, At this time, Xia Mingdao really understood that the source of the human spiritual power he felt was not this white bone, but the person in front of him, strictly speaking, it should be a soul.

"It's been years, hundreds of years? It's been a thousand years, and I've been locked here, although it's self-inflicted, but I always feel a little uncomfortable," the silver-haired man sighed slightly, then looked at Xia Mingdao and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for releasing me, so let me fulfill my promise now and send you out of here." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Looking at the silver-haired man in front of him, Xia Mingdao's face asked calmly, "I remember you said before that as long as I let you out, you will tell me everything, don't you?" ”

The silver-haired man was silent for a moment, and then sighed slightly: "Okay, okay, the main reason I don't want to say it is because it's a bit embarrassing, but it's hard to chase after a horse, I will tell you everything you want to know, first of all, my identity, I am the chief magician under King Arthur, His Majesty's mentor, and his best friend, assisting him from childhood to ascending the throne, fighting in the north and south." ”

"My name is Merlin Ambrosius"

Looking at the man with silver hair and flying robes in front of him, Xia Mingdao's face showed a look of surprise, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "You are Merlin, the greatest legendary magician in Celtic mythology?" ”

"Haha, the greatest legendary magician? Later generations have exaggerated how they wrote, but who doesn't love a pleasant title behind them? Merlin smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "But I was the only magician called Merlin during the Arthurian era, so I'm right." ”

Even if it was confirmed, the surprise in Xia Mingdao's heart still did not subside, King Arthur's slaughter of the red dragon is very famous, and the strength of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table is well known, but in terms of magic, that is, the so-called spiritual power, it is said that Merlin has reached the point of the ceiling, and it is even rumored that Merlin is only one step away from the legendary Holy Crown, and he is the first human to reach the level of the Platinum Palace, and the spiritual skills and spiritual power he has mastered are unimaginable and immeasurable.

But how did such a great magician get locked up in Avalon?

"Why are you locked in a place like this?" Xia Mingdao finally asked, staring at Merlin tightly, "Judging from your strength, there shouldn't be anyone who can hold you up." ”

Merlin's expression changed slightly at this moment, he clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and after a long time, he said, "Hmm...... This question, which involves some personal matters of mine, is better not to ask, it will not help you. ”

"But ......"

"Hey, don't talk about this, it's better to get out quickly, right?" Merlin said with a smile, and at the same time quickly changed the topic, "You have made such a big move here, Balodiel is just a watcher, only Balodil's unconscious body is here, and his strength is less than one-tenth compared to back then, if those elves come for a while, my current state will not be able to help you." ”

Hearing Merlin say this, Xia Mingdao didn't ask any further, and said, "Okay, then you hurry up and let me leave here first." ”

"Don't panic, you can help me get that." Merlin floated towards Xia Mingdao, stretched out his finger and pointed at his body with only white bones left, "That's it, do you see?" ”

Following Merlin's instructions, Xia Mingdao saw that there was a silver ring on the middle finger of the white bone's left hand, because the color was too similar to the bone, and he didn't see it for a while.

"You say this?" Xia Mingdao stepped forward and took the ring off the white bone's finger, but at the moment when the ring was removed, the white bone collapsed as if it had lost its support, and it really turned into a pile and fell into the lake.

"That's right, after all, after going out from here, the spiritual power of the outside world is much thinner than the inside, I'm afraid I can't maintain my appearance." Merlin patted his illusory body, sighed and said, "So for a long time in the future, I may have to stay in this ring to live." ”

"You're going out?" Xia Mingdao frowned slightly, "What are you going to do outside?" ”

"Aren't you stupid at this question, I finally unlocked the lock, why did I stay here, wait for them to find out, and put a lock on me again?" Merlin's face showed a sad expression, "I don't want to go out either, the spiritual power here is so abundant, I can keep my soul immortal if I stay here, but what can I do, I'd rather die if I'm not free, but I don't want to die now, and I want to be free, so that's all." ”

Xia Mingdao was speechless, looked at the ring on his hand, and after hesitating, he gave up putting it on his hand, but threw it directly into his pocket and put it up.

"When you come in, you should have entered through the stone tower, and that is the only way to reach the Holy Realm on this shore." "So, let's go to the lake, to where the stone tower is supposed to be, that's the only entrance, and it's also the only exit." ”

"But there are no stone towers here." Xia Mingdao said with a frown.

"Yes, not right now, but I'll have one soon." Merlin smiled, "These things require skill, and at the same time, there are only two kinds of beings who can summon the stone tower in Avalon, one is the elves who have lived here for a long time, and the other is people related to the Pendragon family, such as me." ”

Hearing his words, Xia Mingdao stopped speaking, turned his head and was about to walk towards the lake.

However, at this moment, a burst of wind came from behind Xia Mingdao, Xia Mingdao only felt a chill in his ears, and something flew over his cheek and smashed heavily on the ground on the shore.

It's the broken sword!

A shallow scar appeared on Xia Mingdao's cheek at this time, and a trace of blood spilled out of it, slowly flowing down Xia Mingdao's face.

The deafening roar sounded again, and behind him, the red dragon raised its head again, and there seemed to be a flame burning in its two golden pupils at this moment, and the roar almost overturned the lake.

"Damn, didn't he just go down!" Xia Mingdao resisted the powerful spiritual power contained in the roar, gritted his teeth and said.

"Hey, that's right." Merlin sighed slightly, with a sad expression on his face, "The sword in the stone is indeed a sharp weapon to kill this guy, but it looks ...... It seems that two-thirds of the sword is broken, and the remaining third is not lethal at all. ”

The dragon roared, and this time, instead of standing in the courtyard and spitting flames at them, it flashed its huge wings and flew into the sky, looking as if it was going to pounce directly on them!

"Don't stand here, run quickly!" Merlin's voice had a hint of horror, "Why are you still stunned, you want to die and I haven't lived enough!" ”

"I've lived for thousands of years and haven't lived enough, so greedy?" Xia Mingdao smiled in a low voice, but he quickly reined in, he understood what the current situation was like, if he hesitated for a second, he might really die here.

With the ability of the glacier, Xia Mingdao quickly ran from the surface of the lake to the shore, followed Merlin's instructions, and ran in the direction he had come before.

"This is it?" Xia Mingdao turned his head and glanced at it, this is where he was when he first arrived at the lake before, he didn't think that this was the exit.

"Yes, but if it weren't for that tower, this would be just a normal place in Avalon."
