It had been a week since he was tinkering with a new type of sedative in his alchemy lab, which was not as effective as Old Merlin's, but it was cheaper and quicker.

Ever since witnessing the first battle of the Demon Invasion in the Night Castle two years ago, Cizer has felt a serious lack of strength. Although there are still big problems with his own cultivation system, Cizer can't take care of these anymore, he must improve his strength as soon as possible!

Only with strength can you earn military merits and know what you want to know.

That's why he made that choice when the teacher came to him that day.

"Do you know why our Holy Sword Academy is called that?" said Old Merlin in a long tone.

"I don't know. Cizer had never thought about it, weren't the names of the academies just taken at random? The students who were almost a little more cheesy would take a cheesy name, just like the Grizzly Academy he had almost gone to, and the name was not a little ugly. And the Holy Dragon Academy sounds a lot more domineering, this is originally decided according to the strength of the academy or the preferences of the founder, right?

"Hehe, it's not that simple here. Old Merlin laughed, as if mocking Cezelle's innocence.

"Do you know what the most famous thing of the Holy Dragon Academy is, it is a potion called dragon blood, it can stimulate a person's physical potential, and those who take it for a long time even have the opportunity to open the bloodline talent!"

"Like a demon?"

"That's right!"

Cizer was shocked, and then immediately reacted, and said to Old Merlin with wide eyes.

"We also have this kind of good thing in the Holy Sword Academy?"

"Of course!" Old Merlin was rarely arrogant, "The foundation of our Holy Sword Academy is much stronger than that of the Holy Dragon Academy, that is, the group of guys in the church rely on a lot of people, otherwise in the entire Glorious Empire, who can compare to our Holy Sword Academy?"

Cizer really couldn't stand it, and said directly: "Don't sell it, if you have any good things, take it out quickly!

"Ahem, ahem!" Old Merlin blushed embarrassedly, and then deliberately diverted the topic.

"The essence of this academy is not open to ordinary students, so I haven't mentioned it to you before, because for so many years, no one has been able to get that thing, and everyone who tried has failed. ”

"Oh. ”

Cezel's enthusiasm suddenly vanished, and he turned his head to continue fiddling with his alchemical potion, his face becoming extremely calm.

"Don't you want to ask what it is?" Old Merlin seemed disappointed at Cezel's reaction, and even a little distressed, and almost said, "How can you not beg me!?"

"It's useless to know, you said that no one in the academy can get it yet, our dean is a nine-star forbidden spell mage, why should I take things that he can't get?" Cizer looked at old Merlin with an idiot expression.

"Ahem, ahem!" Old Merlin felt that his self-esteem had been severely damaged, and he felt that if he continued like this, he might cough up all his lungs.

"Your Dean Granddo is too old, he originally came to the Holy Sword Academy for that thing, but later found out that he was cheated by the previous dean, and he didn't have the qualifications to try it at all. And that thing is not something that can be obtained by being strong, and even too strong strength is a burden. Old Merlin said earnestly, with a hint of regret on his face.

In fact, if he had been seven or eight years younger, there would have been real hope. It's a pity that I missed it!"

Hearing this, Cizer became a little interested, "So, I still have hope?"

Old Merlin slapped his thigh vigorously and said, "Of course, otherwise you really think I'm idle and have nothing to do with you to tell stories and play!"

Looking at Cezel's deflated expression, Old Merlin's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and he only felt that his whole body was full of confidence.

"This opportunity is what I asked for from that old guy in Granddo, you have to cherish it!"

Cizer watched the old drama spirit keep adding drama to himself, so he had to cooperate.

"Teacher, you're the best! Tell me what it is, can't it really be a holy sword!"

The expression on Old Merlin's face was suddenly stunned at this time, and it took a long time before he muttered.

"This ...... To be honest, I don't know, after all, no one has seen it......" Old Merlin rubbed his hands and said, "But according to speculation, it should be a holy sword, but no one has seen it for hundreds of years." ”

Cizer looked at old Merlin with a distrustful gaze, this statement is really unconvincing!

"According to the description on the deciphered parchment, it is supposed to be one of the former gathering places of the elves, and a long sword made by the High Elves was left there. I heard that the sword is quite famous among the elves, and it is one of the seven holy swords of the elves. It's just that the elven secret realm is only allowed to enter people under the age of twenty, so few people can pass through the obstacles to enter the deepest part of the secret realm, let alone obtain a long sword. ”

Cizer listened to old Merlin's narration thoughtfully.

"Then why do you think I can get it?" Cezel is still self-aware of himself, although the talent is not bad at the moment, but in the history of a hundred years, it is not without talent that is even more rare than him.

"Well, you know, I've been studying the stars since I lost my magic. Old Merlin looked at Cezel with deep eyes.

"The stars told me that you would get a lot out of going there, and I wasn't sure if you could take out that holy sword. ”

Cizer touched his chin and finally firmly.

"Okay!

Old Merlin didn't talk nonsense, and took Cizer directly to find his old friend, Grando.

Before entering the secret realm, Granddo gave an explanation to Cezel.

"The environment in the secret realm is very different from our world, and we have no way of knowing the size of the secret realm, so you have to be careful, and don't rush to provoke strange creatures, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble for yourself. ”

Cizer nodded continuously, indicating that he already knew.

"And then there's this. Grando pulled out a silver badge with a cumbersome magical pattern engraved on it, Cizer had never seen such a complex pattern, and with his knowledge, he could at best guess that it had something to do with positioning.

"Million, thousand, don't lose it, or you really won't be able to come back. Grandor admonished.

Following Old Merlin and Dean Grando, Cizer came to a quiet lake, a place that many students liked to come to, with pleasant scenery and fresh air.

Following them, Cizer walked through a grove by the lake, and stood in front of a large hollow in a tree.

I didn't see any incantation from Glendo, but one hand drew a semicircle in the air, and a palm-sized magic circle slowly bloomed. Immediately after that, more and more magic arrays slowly formed around the first magic array, and a soft light emanated from it, shining on the tree hole, making it have a mirror-like hazy feeling.

"Alright, let's go inside. I'll pick you up in a week, and as long as you still have that badge, you'll find your way home. There was a hint of regret in Grando's old voice, and he ...... I've never been into this legendary secret realm.

Cizer looked at the rippling mirror of the water, and stepped in, old Merlin with a nervous look behind him.

Cizer is different from those who entered in the past, he has a demonic aura in him!

What if the Elven Secret Realm doesn't accept people with demonic energy? If the Elven Secret Realm directly throws him into a desperate situation, that's the end of it!

Although Old Merlin has done star divination, it is difficult to get an accurate answer to this kind of thing, and there are many deviations in major prophecies in history, so it is impossible for Old Merlin not to be nervous.

However, to his relief, Cizer passed through the water pattern barrier without hindrance, and after he entered, the various magic formations gradually dimmed and finally dissipated.

Silence returned to the hollow, and Grandor patted Old Merlin on the shoulder.

"Don't look at it, he's your student, there's no problem. ”

Old Merlin nodded heavily, but the burden on his heart did not fall, and at this time he mentioned another matter to Grando.

"I seem to have heard some news lately, it seems that the Empire is going to hold some kind of junior professional competition? Is it true?"

"That's right. Grando's eyebrows twitched, "The Imperial Family, the Church, the Academy, the Mercenary Alliance, as well as the Alchemy Association and the Summoner Alliance are all participants in this competition, so it can be said that except for the military department, other forces, no matter how big or small, are all ready to participate in this competition." ”

"What good things have the royal family come up with?" Old Merlin is no longer surprised, thirty years ago, when the front line was in an emergency, the royal family also took out a bunch of treasures and even titles to reward those talented young people. So much so that today, thirty years later, the imperial family is still capable, and the power they have accumulated is too strong.

"This time, though, the Empire has taken out what they've been hiding all along. Grandor said: "This time the imperial family began to panic, the sudden invasion of the demon clan made us see that the demon clan is still much stronger than our empire thirty years later, and this sense of crisis makes them willing to take out such a thing." ”

"You mean......" Old Merlin looked incredulous, "are they really willing?

"You're not right. The symbol of the royal family is the Sun God Stone, and the rich light magic can continue to support the forbidden spell of the world-destroying level, and it can be said that it is a bit of a pity to be inlaid in the crown. ”

Old Merlin looked at his old friend with some disdain, but he knew that he had coveted the Sun God Stone for a long time, but the other party was a royal family, so it was really difficult to start, which made his old friend very regretful.

"But they were able to get that thing out of everyone's expectations. Old Merlin continued, that thing is of little use to the magician, yes, but to the knight, it is an artifact-like existence!

"No, when my student comes out, you must let him represent our academy!" Old Merlin roared in his ear by the neck of Grando.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you! I always let my students take all the good things first, and I don't think about the academy at all. Grando's words were as he spoke, but he didn't mean to refuse.

After all, Cizer is already one of the few outstanding students of the academy, and participating in the competition held by the empire should not lose the face of the academy.
