Lionheart.

After the high-intensity "battle", the ragged and embarrassed residents sat down on the ground and gasped violently.

The thugs stared at the slimes on their clothes, and for some reason gave up on them, leaving without looking back.

The inhabitants breathed a sigh of relief and a little regret, after all, killing or capturing those slimes alive would be a lot of merit.

You must know that the last time the city lord opened the treasury so generously and awarded battle merits was the last time the beast tide attacked the city. The most important thing is that resisting Warcraft will be life-threatening, but against slimes, the most clothes will be corroded, and some face will be lost, and some money will be lost.

As for those who didn't have a wisp of their bodies and weren't very active in the battle just now, why did they show such a look of pity, and even chased after the slimes who didn't want to take care of them for a few streets? Among them, one of the deer orc warriors is the most persevering!

。。。 Alas~ Don't say it!

At the same time, in another corner of the city, far from the city center, is a street between the castle of the lord and the northwest gate.

Mage Merlin, who had finally changed into a proper white magic robe, looked at Zheng Ming, who was faintly guarded in the center by the wave of slimes in the distance, and frowned.

"That's the weird monster you're talking about?"

Seeing Master Merlin's inquiry, among the four people standing behind him, Matt, who was also a mage, immediately stepped forward and responded, "Yes." Archmage Merlin. ”

The four people behind Merlin were the adventurer team that had escaped after meeting Zheng Ming before. At this time, the enchanted equipment on their bodies had long since disappeared, and they were embarrassed to wear pieces of rags the thickness of three fingers, covering their bodies.

"Hmm. From your information, I suspect that the monster is most likely the leader of this group. It is likely that this catastrophe was caused by it. ”

Matt: "Archmage Merlin is a well-known sage. Really knowledgeable and quick-witted. We're ashamed to say that we wanted to capture that monster and give it to you, but unfortunately we didn't have enough skills. I can only take care of you. ”

Merlin: "Hahaha. Good lad. Very spiritual. You're a mage too, right? When I solve this disaster, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to find me, and I can give you a few words when I have time. ”

Matt: "Really? Thank you so much. A word or two of your advice is better than me studying alone for ten years. You're my reborn parent. ”

Seeing Matt's exaggerated expression that almost cried with joy, the other three companions all pouted. However, although they disdain Matt's whiskers and slap horses, and lick the dog's posture, they can get the guidance of Merlin, who is known as the archmage, the great sage, the moving knowledge repository, and the forbidden spell scroll, as companions, the three of them are still envious and jealous and happy for Matt.

Thinking that Master Merlin has always had a reputation for erudition, and he likes to bring up juniors, he is elegant and easy-going. Saiah, who was on the side, stepped forward with his spring-like body covered and asked his doubts.

"Archmage Merlin, do you know what kind of monster it is? The appearance is somewhat similar to that of the ooze monster, but the monster can actually speak, and its expression is very vivid, and it can even play hooligan. It looks like he has a high level of intelligence. ”

Merlin: "Hmm. Speaking of which. He does look familiar. By the time I catch it, I should know what it varies. ”

Zheng Ming: "Hey. You guys! Yes, it's the five of you. What are you muttering in that sneaky way? It's rude to point fingers at me, okay? ”

On the other side, Zheng Ming, who had been watched by the five people for a while like a scarce animal, finally couldn't help but shout loudly.

Merlin: "Hmph. Monster, you invaded Lionheart City, lost your conscience, and did something to do your best! Today, I, the Archmage, the Great Sage, Merlin, the Warden of Lionheart, will make you pay. Wind Resistant. ”

Zheng Ming only felt that the voice of the white-bearded little old man opposite was really harsh, and it actually gave it a sense of thunderous roar. It raged, and roared with the same wide eyes.

"No road race, roar roar? What are you yelling at and doing? The little old man is very bad, you want to shock me to death? ”

Archmage Merlin, who had just finished reciting the incantation and was floating in the wind, heard the other party call himself a little old man, and was immediately angry, in line with the fine tradition of not losing the battle, and scolding people before fighting, he recited a "voice blessing" and "wind whisper" to bless his voice.

"Evil obstacles. He doesn't even have the most basic human form.,A nasty beast with no shame.。 See how I'll clean you up later. ”

"Yoh? Kicking your nose in the face, right? It's louder than just now, isn't it? You think you're going to roar? ”

【Awakening Talent Majesty】

[Gain skills Roar, Roar, and Shock.] 】

"Still a great sage? Archmage? What is the guardian of what city? Is it okay to put less gold on your face? Did you shout out the title yourself? I've never seen anyone so brazen. I'm *your*. ****Foolish*. ”

Merlin: "You vicious slug, I'm ****, ****, *****." ”

……

On this day, the adventure team was fortunate enough to see the legendary powerhouse Archmage Merlin, rolling up the sleeves of his robe, and rushing towards the other party with red eyes and thick necks while his mouth full of indescribable things. For the first time, they saw the most authentic side of the legendary gentle, approachable, and knowledgeable elder in battle.

The four members of the adventure team with the illusion of the strong shattered are not mentioned for the time being, and at this time, the Merlin mage in the sky is flying towards Zheng Ming quickly while being full of foul language.

"Fireball."

An orange fireball the size of an adult's skull, the size of Zheng Ming, gathered in Merlin's palm, and shot towards Zheng Ming with the movement of Merlin's thoughts.

"Protect me. Stop him. ”

The moment the thought in Zheng Ming's mind arose, the guards around it, and the slime groups that had not yet been absorbed and fused by it moved. Those slimes who couldn't jump and flew gathered in front of Zheng Ming to form a wall of slimes, and the rest of the evolved slimes rushed towards Merlin.

"Riptide."

"Fireball."

"Icepick."

"Light Arrow."

Merlin, who casually played various low-level spells to intercept the slime, frowned impatiently. He found that his flight slowed down and finally stopped, as he was blocked by the seemingly endless swarm of slimes.

"It's not going to go on like this. I'm going to run out of mana. Alas~ If only I knew the spells of the earth attribute. Firewall. ”

Merlin, who realized that something was wrong, sighed softly with a little regret, and used the old method before.

As a blaze of flames enveloped Merlin's body, the slimes dissipated like moths to the flames of the flames. But at the same time, due to the fire wall technique, the Merlin mage who could not use the wind resistance technique of the wind attribute slowly landed on the ground.

Mage Merlin, who was covered in flames, broke through the slime wave and walked in the direction where Zheng Ming was. From a distance, the blazing flame looks like a lotus flower rising in a pale cyan ocean.

"Dead old man, stinky old man. What do I have with you? You want to kill me? When you're exhausted, I'll let you, who have been corroded into a stripped pig, experience what a bare pig run is. I'm going to record it and publish it to the whole city. No! It's to publish the whole world and make you ruined. Tell you to go against me, uncle. ”

Zheng Ming, who was leisurely gloating and mocking under the protection of the slime, saw that Merlin was getting closer and closer, and had already walked two-thirds of the distance, and finally began to feel weak, and hurriedly advised.

Zheng Ming: "Oops. Old man. Why bother? You see, I didn't do anything unreasonable. As for this Clothless City incident, you may not believe it when you say it, these are all misunderstandings. I didn't know it at first. I didn't hurt anyone, at most I ate a few more clothes. Besides, aren't you feasting your eyes too? How about that? ”

Zheng Ming: "You have something to say." Old man? The Great Sage? Archmage? Everyone is angry and makes money. As long as you say a word, I'll withdraw it, okay? ”

Zheng Ming: "Huh? I said, why are you so stubborn, old man? It's not easy for everyone to live, how good is it to cherish life and stay away from violence? Have a good neighborhood relationship with a friendly person, and see each other again in the future, right? ”

Merlin: "Hmph, no need to talk nonsense. You wait, and soon I'll be in front of you. I see if you can be so arrogant when you can. ”

Zheng Ming: "... No? Where am I arrogant? Isn't this a discussion with you? And there is no deep hatred, can you live or die? ”

Merlin: "That's not what you just said. Wait for death. Wrong. Let's wait for me to catch me and study it. ”

Zheng Ming shuddered at the thought of being caught by the other party, all kinds of electric shocks, and a knife serving on his body. The most terrifying thing was to think of the old man's calloused and thin hands groping around on his body, and his fingers poking into his body. Thinking of this, even if there were no chrysanthemums, Zheng Ming felt that the chrysanthemums were tight, and he shouted wildly in his heart.

"I'm going to die. I'm going to die. This dead old man is really hard-hearted. Do I want to slip away? No way. Wouldn't it be even worse if I slipped away without the protection of these clones? ”

Just when Zheng Ming shouted that the sky should not be and the earth was not spiritual, a sudden change occurred. A one-and-a-half-meter-tall slime suddenly broke through the wall of fire and wrapped Merlin in his body.
