Chapter 65: Sacrifice
The news spread like the wind throughout Garros.
Including the Isaac City Lord, everyone was stunned, they were shocked by the brutality and arrogance of the Magic Guild, in their opinion, the current Magic Guild was completely an unreasonable bandit, and the reason why the many forces of Garros have been able to maintain a superficial peace is because everything is only going on in secret.
The struggle between the major forces has always existed, but no one has ever dared to put it on the table.
It is often the two forces that fight to the death in secret, but as soon as the heads of the two sides meet, they still talk harmoniously, just like the auction at the beginning, between the various forces present, who has no grievances and grievances with whom? But under the seduction of thirty-three bottles of arcane elixir, they still bid in the guild hall in a good manner, and they didn't see anyone and someone killed on the spot.
Everyone knows that Garros is now the only one in the Magic Guild.
But no one thought that they would be so arrogant and arrogant, completely ignoring the rules of the game, and directly put the secret battle on the table, in just one afternoon, the magic guild swept away more than two dozen businesses of the Merlin family, including several casinos jointly operated with the Scarlet Brotherhood, and two merchant ships moored on the canal.
In this afternoon alone, the Merlin family lost countless gold coins.
For a while, many forces were indignant, especially the Scarlet Brotherhood that was smashed in several casinos, Aaron Matis almost didn't get out of his heart attack: "Rely on your mother's Grean, you are killing yourself, and if you continue to do it like this, you can only die together!" ”
But in the face of Grean's anger, who would dare to go to the Emerald Tower to reason with him?
The heads of more than a dozen forces are not idiots, as soon as the incident in the Demon Slayer Valley came out, the Magic Guild immediately launched a revenge on the Merlin family, what is the relationship between this can be seen at a glance, everyone knows that Graian is retaliating, at such a sensitive time, who would dare to send it to the door without interest?
The chaos continued until the evening.
At this time, the Merlin family was already in chaos, and when the news came in the afternoon, the angry old Merlin fainted with anger on the spot, and when he woke up, his face was still pale, and he asked the servant to find his younger brother Evan.
"Look at the good things you've done!" After waking up, old Merlin seemed to have suddenly aged by dozens of years, and Matthews, who seemed to be forever energetic, looked so old and weak at this time.
"Big brother...... Listen to me......"
"Explain?" Old Merlin's face was pale, and his somewhat cloudy eyes stared at Evan: "How many times have I told you?" Do things must be done cleanly, never leave any tails, you see what you have done? Three traitors of the Magic Guild, two of them were poached by other forces, and the other was even more powerful, and they were actually found by the Magic Guild, I can't understand it at all, what do you want to do? Why don't you extinguish your mouth? Do you think that the Merlin family today can still be as unscrupulous as before? ”
Evan opened his mouth, trying to defend himself: "I just wanted to try and see if I could convince them to work for the family, they are all magicians after all...... It's a shame to kill like this, and I'm also thinking about my family......"
"For the sake of the family? Hahaha......" Old Merlin laughed angrily, and there was already some bloodshot in his eyes: "Now you are happy?" Just this afternoon, the Merlin family has been greatly damaged, do you know how much money we lost this afternoon? Counting the two ships of goods on the canal, a total of 3.7 million gold coins! Evan...... That's 3.7 million gold coins...... Is there so much income in a year for the family? Moreover, those two merchant ships were loaded with things that were smuggled by the Duke, and Fario finally helped us to lead this line, but after this incident, do you think the Duke is still willing to trust us? ”
Hearing this huge number, Evan was completely stunned.
"Forget it......" Old Merlin sighed heavily, looking a little lost: "Let's not talk about this matter first, if you really want to talk about it, I also have a little responsibility, knowing that you have been indecisive since you were a child, I still have to let you do it...... How's Cromwell doing? ”
"Cromwell has improved very quickly, and yesterday he broke through the twelfth level."
"Not bad......" Hearing the news, Old Merlin finally showed a trace of relief on his face, but then his expression was gloomy: "Recently, this child has become more sensible, but it's a pity that as a descendant of the Merlin family, sometimes he has to make a little sacrifice......
"Big brother......" Evan hesitated for a moment, and his expression was a little tempted: "Cromwell is the only heir of the Merlin family...... Even if he can kill the apothecary of the Magic Guild in this duel, but his life can be regarded as completely ruined, a magician who can never be improved, will it be too cruel to Cromwell like this? ”
"This is a necessary sacrifice...... Old Merlin's expression was a little gloomy, but the gaze in his eyes was extremely firm: "Everything that the Magic Guild has today is actually brought by that magician named Ferry, do you remember the battle I fought with Grayan?" At that time, if he hadn't taken out a bottle of awakening potion, Graian would have died a long time ago, and at that time I knew that as long as this young man was there, the Magic Guild would sooner or later dominate Garros City, and the subsequent auction of the Arcane Elixir confirmed my guess, the two major families showed favor to the Magic Guild at the same time, do you think they want to slap Gray? Wrong...... What they want to stammer, it's the young potion master! ”
"But I've heard that Ferrey is just a low-level magician, and Cromwell doesn't have to ......"
"A low-level magician?" Old Merlin smiled a little bitterly: "Didn't Cromwell tell you that the other party only used one magic to blast him out of the Emerald Tower?" This is a real magic genius, he has super strong mental power and magic power, even if I want to defeat him, I need to use the power of the Great Wizard level, such a magic genius, it is really terrifying for him to grow up...... This time in a duel, he must die! ”
After Old Merlin finished speaking, he closed his eyes a little tiredly, and stopped looking at Evan who looked frightened.
