Since he decided to stay, it didn't matter how long the Farol had left Garkison to leave Merlin.
After spending the night at Leah's house, the next day, Leah didn't go to the Garkison Guard Station.
Following Leah, the two of them come to the place where they first met, the nest of the Tainted Hands.
"Does that displacement device really work?" Leah casts a stealth spell on Merlin, and the two slip into the spot where the Tainted Hand once held hostages.
Merlin cautiously jumped off the eaves against the wall, and then looked for hidden magic patterns on the iron door. After disguise magic, the magic displacement device is disguised by magical energy, and is very cleverly attached to this iron door.
Stroking the rusty steel, Merlin's furrowed brow soothed slightly.
Fortunately, it was not picked up by someone who knew the goods. The palm of his hand followed the hidden lines, and a strange light lit up from between Merlin's fingers. After hurriedly taking it off, Leah took Merlin's hand and pulled him up.
With a click, the tiles under Leah's feet shattered. The members of the Tainted Hands who were guarding the downstairs room ran out with sticks.
In order not to cause trouble here, Leah and Merlin leaned against the wall, motionless.
After waiting for the two ogres below to leave, Leah and Merlin left the Tainted Hand lair along the high wall with the help of the Slow Fall Technique.
"Are we really going to go to the Dark Gold Cult again?" Merlin said with palpitations.
The Dark Gold Cult is different from the miscellaneous soldiers of the Tainted Hands, and the alchemy they have mastered can always catch Merlin's death hole. In particular, the Crystal Burst Potion, a special mist that can disintegrate the Celestial Blessing controlled by Merlin.
Leah shook her head and said, "The last time you went to the temple of the Dark Gold Sect, this time it is different, we are going to the place where the alchemists of the Dark Gold Sect quench the potion." ”
"Do you know where this place is?"
Liariso nodded of course and said, "I found it by accident, a few days ago I tracked down a shipment of goods from the port by the Dark Gold Sect, and they finally delivered this batch to a dark alley. ”
"What?"
"Listening to the sound of ruts rolling on the pavement, it's heavy, it should be a batch of iron." Leah's observation was meticulous, she recalled.
Iron tools, the people of the Dark Gold Sect are also interested in iron tools. It is said that I have never learned alchemy, and I have heard my younger siblings say it. Now, does alchemy have to be paired with a steel furnace or something like that to create a powerful potion?
With questions in mind, Merlin and Leah turned and walked to the dark alley north of Garkison.
The further north you go, the more you can see what Garkison looked like more than a decade ago. If you look into the distance along the road, you can see barren sandy land.
"Right there?" Approaching the outer ring of the city, there are fewer citizens here. In order to disguise their identities, Leah and Merlin stand in front of a wholesale fruit shop.
Sure enough, there really is an alchemist in the dark alley that Leah said. However, Merlin seems to have found something in these alchemists.
Their shoes and ankles were covered in a damp layer of mud.
Isn't this the place where dark gold teaches and crafts alchemy potions?
The owner of the fruit shop is a simple panda uncle, and when he saw the two faces, he enthusiastically persuaded him: "Young man, try not to hang out here." It's not safe here. ”
Hearing the advice of the Panda Man Tree, Merlin took out a gold coin from his bosom, and then took an apple from the safe where the apple was stored: "It's not safe, uncle, how do you say that." ”
The Panda Man waved his broad palm and said, "Since the people of the Dark Gold Sect came here the year before last, it has been very restless here. Don't ask, for your safety, hurry up. I'll have to move out of here in a few days. ”
Merlin gave Leah a special look, and he frowned, "I heard from Uncle Panda just now, it is very likely that this place has something to do with the missing population. Leah, do you still have enough magical energy? Let's dive in and see how it goes. ”
Although Leah is not a Magus yet, her mastery of the Fade Technique is definitely beyond the level of a Magus. According to my father, this improved strong occult technique was learned from a close friend of his, and unless it is a powerful mage and a creature with absolute power, it will not be easy to find itself under the cover of his strong hidden art.
Ten interlocking, red-faced Leah pulled Merlin's body into the silent world.
With no temperature or walking sound, this strong concealment spell seems to have something to do with spatial magic.
In order to ensure that there was enough time to cast the spell, Merlin and Leah kept the same pace and infiltrated this mysterious dark alley.
The last time Leah didn't have the courage to get in, this time was different. Leah felt that the young man in front of her seemed to be worth relying on.
At the end of the dilapidated wall is a hole that goes down deep. The size of the cave is not large, it is hidden here, and it is almost impossible to find.
Walking down the wooden staircase, Merlin and Leah were completely amazed by the spacious underground palace.
Most of the workers here are orcs and humans, and a few goblins use tools to dig deep into the heart of the earth. The excavated earth did not reach the surface, but was swallowed by the huge tentacles at the end of the cavern.
Depending on the location, these giant tentacle monsters are supposed to have sent the excavated dirt into the sea.
The men who watched over the labors were creatures with black hoods and strange costumes. There are trolls, ogres, humans and elves.
Not a member of the Dark Gold Sect! Merlin was startled, rubbing his temples as he tried to recall the impressions in his mind of the pagan clothes.
"Twilight Cult!"
Merlin was clever, he really didn't expect that the monsters that were about to disappear in his father's time were now in Garkison.
While Merlin was thinking, Leah suddenly pulled him into a minecart carrying gravel.
"There's a creature with powerful magical powers coming up, don't make a sound." Leah sensed the danger, and she lowered her voice.
Covered in Leah's richer arcane energy, Merlin felt like he wasn't breathing well.
Through the gap in the minecart, Merlin discovers that the creature that has climbed up from the center of the dungeon is the legless Naga Siren.
Dragons and snakes were mixed, and Merlin could never have imagined that the cultists here would be able to gather with these Naga Sirens.
"What about Hazard? I want to see him, and the queen wants him to make good on his promise. A shrill female voice echoed through the dungeon.
The troll standing in front of the Kraken hunched over, nodded, and walked to a room on the south side of the dungeon.
"Could it be that this place has something to do with the power of the ancient gods?" Merlin muttered.
