Looking at Merlin, Xia Mingdao was speechless for a while, so he had to stand aside and wait for Merlin's movements.

The tall stone tower was covered with a thick shadow that could not even be seen on the ground, as if it were a mirage, and it did not actually exist here.

The staff in his hand pointed to the stone tower in front of him, and a light flowed out from the top of the staff, only to see that above the gate of the stone tower, a light curtain gradually appeared, like a gate of time and space, accompanied by a faint sense of distortion, and the moonlight also seemed to be attracted, gathering towards the door of the stone tower.

"Alright, now it's okay to get out of here." Merlin said, retreating to Xia Mingdao's side, and the staff in his hand disappeared at this moment, "After I get out of here, I have to go into this ring first, and then I will have to trouble you to take me." ”

Xia Mingdao didn't speak, and walked straight towards the light curtain.

Merlin turned his head and looked at the calm lake behind him, and his eyes fell on the red dragon not far away, who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath at the moment, having completely lost the ability to fight, and it seemed that there was no way to attack them anymore.

"Hmm...... The spiritual power here is quite abundant, and I think it won't be long before you recover. Merlin muttered in a low voice, "You need to guard this place well from those who have begun to go down the wrong path and get from here what is a threat to Great Britain and the Pendragon family." ”

After finishing speaking, Merlin turned around and floated towards Xia Mingdao, preparing to follow Xia Mingdao into the light curtain.

"You, are you really going to leave like this?" Suddenly, a soft voice came, echoing in the ears of Xia Mingdao and Merlin, the voice was unusually pleasant but unusually hollow and deep, as if it came from the bottom of the lake behind them.

"Don't be in a daze! Come on! Merlin's face changed greatly, and he suddenly approached Xia Mingdao's side, and urged loudly towards Xia Mingdao, who was standing there stunned.

"Whose voice is that?" Xia Mingdao asked.

"Leave it alone! Now hurry up! Merlin said quickly, his voice full of eagerness, "The key guy is out, we don't want to go out!" Damn it, it was her who woke up! ”

Xia Mingdao was a little puzzled for a while, who would make Merlin, who is a legendary magician, so afraid, could it be the elves here? However, it stands to reason that the elves of Avalon should not all be like Merlin, after all, Merlin almost came into contact with the Holy Crown in the first place.

However, even so, Xia Mingdao withdrew his curiosity, and walked directly into the light curtain, a huge attraction appeared from the light curtain, sucking Xia Mingdao's body into it, and Merlin was at this moment, his body drilled into the silver ring in Xia Mingdao's pocket.

"What a ruthless mentor." A soft laugh came, but the pleasant laughter did not make people's hearts ripple, but contained a kind of banter, like a cat saw a mouse that was running away, "I'll bring you back, teacher, don't you want to take out my palm~." ”

The light in front of him reflected countless lines passing in front of Xia Mingdao's eyes, and I don't know how long it took, a dazzling white light appeared in front of him, and Xia Mingdao's body rushed out of the white light as if it was pushed by something.

The figure staggered for a while, Xia Mingdao staggered to stabilize his figure, gasping slightly, and his eyes looked at the ground under his feet at this moment.

Under his feet was a hard stone path, and he could see that he was still in the stone tower, and his shadow was reflected on the ground, as if he had just stood under the sloping moon.

However, at this moment, Xia Mingdao understood that he had come out of that place, which proved that it was no longer the lonely full moon that reflected his shadow, but the fiery red sun that was rising.

With a long exhalation, it was only at this time that Xia Mingdao felt tiredness welling up in his heart, his limbs were sore, and he sat down against the wall of the stone tower, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes, so that he could ease his senses.

The previous experiences were like a thrilling dream, and he had only slept in this stone tower, but the reality told him that this was not the case, he had really been to that place, because now the clothes he was wearing, although the coat had been dried by the flames of the dragon, but the shirt inside, and the socks on his feet were still wet and uncomfortable. Seeking Chinese

Not only that, Xia Mingdao reached into his pocket and fumbled, touched something he expected, took it out and put it in front of him and looked at it carefully.

This is the silver ring, because of the color, Xia Mingdao didn't find it when he stayed on the white bone hand before, but now it seems that this ring doesn't have anything outstanding, there is no pattern, and there is no inlaid jewelry and diamond or anything like that, just a line of text engraved on the outside of the ring, which looks like an ancient Celtic language, Xia Mingdao can't understand what is written on it.

"Hey, Merlin?" Xia Mingdao looked at the ring and called out tentatively, but there was no response.

After a moment of silence, Xia Mingdao supported his head with both hands and lowered his head to slow down, and after a long time, he stood up and walked out of the stone tower.

Leaving the Great Monastery, Xia Mingdao first went to buy a new set of clothes, took a bath in a hotel and changed them, after putting on dry clothes, Xia Mingdao felt as if the whole person was half alive, although the strong sense of fatigue had not been eliminated, but he did not choose to stay and sleep, but went directly to the station and got on a bus leaving the city.

Leaning on the position of the car window, the cool breeze blowing into the car shook his face, Xia Mingdao squinted, and the feeling of fatigue kept coming up, but he was still holding on, and the habit he had already developed made him no longer sleep in this kind of place at will, in case of an accident, it would be very dangerous.

"Yo he, is this the outside world, the change is really big," At this moment, Merlin's voice suddenly came into Xia Mingdao's ears, Xia Mingdao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look to the side, and saw that by the window next to him, Merlin's soul was sitting on it, looking at the scene outside, looking very enjoyable.

"Didn't you say you could only stay inside the ring?" Squinting his eyes, Xia Mingdao asked Merlin with a strong spirit, "Isn't it good for me to see you outside, could it be that you are framing me again?" ”

"It's no problem for a short time, after all, I just came out, and I don't want to lie in that kind of small place all the time." Merlin smiled and said, "Oh yes, I haven't asked you who you are, it seems that your magic skills are quite good, if I am still alive, I really want to accept you as a disciple." ”

"It's called psychics." Xia Mingdao sighed slightly, and the two of them were basically not on the same channel, "In this era, your so-called magic is no longer in use." ”

Looking at Merlin, Xia Mingdao changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when we left before, who was that voice?" Do you look scared? ”

As soon as Xia Mingdao asked this sentence, Merlin's face became stiff, and he sat by the window in silence for a long time, and then sighed like a self-defeating sigh: "Whew, forget it, anyway, it's already happened, even if I hide it, my old face has been lost, I'll tell you, that guy is the one who locked me up there!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been very strong when you were alive." Xia Mingdao looked at Merlin, "That guy is stronger than you?" Could it be that she is the Holy Crown? ”

"Huh? What is the Holy Crown? Merlin looked at Xia Mingdao with a little puzzlement, it seemed that the clever grading system in their time had not yet been unified.

"It is the highest spiritual ...... Magic level. Xia Mingdao said.

"What, she's just an elf, and her strength is far from me, how can she be stronger than me, and it's impossible to reach the ultimate in magic." Merlin snorted, then sighed slightly, "But it's embarrassing that I was locked there not at all because of her power, but because she used my power, in other words, it was me who locked me there." ”

Xia Mingdao raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest, "Oh?" This one seems to have something standing up, can you tell me more about how you got locked there by her? ”

Merlin was silent for a long time, as if he was making some important decision, and then said: "She, her name is Vivian, a member of the Nymph of the Lake, that is, an elf, once our great King Arthur's sword in stone was broken due to a contest, in order for His Majesty to regain the top, I found the Nymph of the Lake in the lake of Avalon, and borrowed a Broken Steel Holy Sword from their treasury, this sword has great power, even if it is lightly slashed by the blade, it can easily inflict heavy damage on the enemy, if you carry the scabbard with you, No matter how badly wounded, I was able to get out of it, and this is the holy relic I borrowed from Vivien for our king, but in borrowing this relic I made the biggest mistake of my life. ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Xia Mingdao asked, how blind is it to make a wise being like Merlin make a mistake?

"The first time I saw Vivien, I fell in love with her!" Merlin gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "It is precisely for this reason that after the death of Her Majesty, I was deceived by her and tied to the giant tree in the lake, and my soul was locked up for thousands of years!" ”
