252 That day

Merlin walked out of the banquet hall of the Red Keep, a tower of the Red Keep City, and not far away, the "Star Tower" reflected the projection of its huge body on Merlin's body.

Looking up, the red and blue suns are separated in the sky. In the eyes of ordinary people, the light of the red sun and the blue sun reflect each other, casting a warm sunshine on this **, and in Merlin's eyes, around the blue sun, those manic magic elements seem to be cheering for themselves.

For a thousand years, magic, this mysterious and noble thing, has been the private preserve of the San Jose royal family. The magicians had to compromise behind the royal family to provide them with personal services.

For a thousand years, Merlin has once again made magicians feel that they are the masters of this world.

"Patriarch!", "Patriarch!", behind him, a group of people walked towards Merlin and saluted behind him. Merlin turned around and gave them the same magician's court salute, "More than a hundred years of hard work have finally paid off today. Guys, great work!"

"The Patriarch is hard!" replied.

"Mage Merlin, the Red Keep is basically done, but the battle in the city continues. Lineker's old fellow is not young, but his mind is still clever. "It was General Wendell who spoke, he was the head of the Western Border Guards, but no one could have imagined that he would be a man of Master Merlin early in the morning.

"Wendell, don't worry, they won't be able to run away. ”

The banquet hall of Red Fort City has long been empty, messy wine bottles, fruit plates, and food are piled up on the ground, but there is no living person, the emperor and cabinet ministers, dancing girls and singers, they don't know where they were teleported by Merlin's spatial magic, however, in the invisible corner, there is a black shadow looming on the wall, and then gradually disappearing. At the moment of disappearing, there seemed to be a sigh, "Ahhhhhhh

Merlin seemed to feel something, turned his head to look, and found nothing.

And in the city of Kyoto, in the corner of the ** library, a group of young soldiers surrounded the two old men. Two old men, one wearing a one-sided glasses, are a little old. The other, not too young, sat cross-legged at the base of the wall in a suit of armor, with a blood-stained Mithril sword at his feet. He seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, and his whole body seemed a little sluggish.

"Kuta, how's it going?" asked the old man, who had fallen to the ground, anxiously.

The other person, who was none other than Kuta, the librarian, shook his head, "I kind of understand, General Wendell is not the mastermind!"

"What, what?" shouted the young soldiers around them, "their western border guards suddenly made a move at the dinner table, it wasn't Wendell's order, who else could it be?

The old man sitting on the ground was none other than General Lineker, the commander of San Jose's recent Battle for the Battle of Kyoto.

"It's all quiet!" the old man's voice was not angry, the group of people, as if they had just experienced a bitter battle not long ago, and Lineker's beard was stained with blood. "Kuta, let's go in and say. ”

The iron gate "Peng" slammed shut and several young men were placed outside, and one soldier put his ear to the door, but could not hear anything.

Inside the house, General Lineker looked serious, "What the hell is going on?"

"Archmage Merlin is the mastermind behind the Rise of Darkness! More than half of the court magicians are members of the Rise of Darkness. When I went, there was no one in the banquet hall, no emperor, no cabinet ministers, no palace eunuchs and guards. In the whole banquet hall, there was only a mess of clutter. Kuta began to tell Lineker what he saw.

The first to attack was the Western Border Guards.

In the defense of Kyoto Castle, there were not many wounded soldiers. However, a large proportion of these soldiers were former students of the Royal Military Academy. When the Western Frontier Guards and Viscount Slim's Guards arrived at the same time, Viscount Slim took the initiative to pursue the Desiks, while the Western Border Guards entered the city to protect the royal family.

Because everyone was in the San Jose Army, and they had come from afar, the Western Frontier Guards were warmly welcomed by the defenders of the city. Lineker was an old professor at the Military Academy, and General Wendell was his student back then. However, it has not been seen for many years, General Wendell did not mention it, and Lineker did not say it.

After experiencing the baptism of war, the Imperial Council naturally couldn't be too harsh on the soldiers, not to mention the guards and students, many of whom were children of aristocratic families. As a result, large vats of good sake and delicacies were removed from the cellars of Kyoto City.

The soldiers of the Western Frontier Army were warmly invited to participate in the celebration together, and everyone who "escaped death" was unusual, and laughter and laughter lingered in the sky over the entire city of Kyoto.

It's just that no one could have imagined that after being drunk, those soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, who had just been drinking with themselves, would suddenly draw their weapons and stab at the Guards soldiers beside them.

When they were caught off guard, how could those soldiers react, and many people died in the smell of wine.

General Wendell, on his tall horse, accompanied by several magicians dressed in black, walked along the King's Road towards the Red Keep. With a calculating or unintentional, the defenders of Kyoto City can't make big waves at all, and he now needs to meet his leader, who is the mastermind behind this series of events.

Of course, there are no big waves, and there are still a few small ones. Lineker had already returned home after the battle. The battles of the past few days have made him quite unbearable at a young age. Dozens of his students, along with Lineker.

Before he could reach the door, a group of Western Border Guard soldiers killed him. They didn't expect that at this moment of celebration in the whole city, there were still people who only wanted to go home and sleep, and the two sides would fight.

The students of the Royal Military Academy, all of whom were young and the children of noble families, were skilled in martial arts, and although a few of them were injured, they were able to withstand the attack. They protected Lineker, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the nearby ** library, using the terrain, temporarily throwing off the enemy, and then met Lineker's friend Kuta.

In addition to Lineker, there were also others in the city of Kyoto.

Mage Setie, as a high-level mage, is not a member of Dark Rising. As for the outliers among the court magicians, Merlin naturally does not forget.

Three mid-level mages, led by a high-level mage, came to Master Setty's house to prepare to capture her. Unfortunately, because of the victory in the war, Mage Setty invited two of his best friends, Mage Pete and Mage Angelina, to celebrate together.

When a group of mages arrived outside her house, Mage Setie was shocked. "Master Monin, why are you here, aren't you supposed to be in the palace?"

The person who is called Master Mo Ning is the high-level mage who is like the "personal **" of the Emperor of Benin, this time, he is carrying a golden staff, and on the head of the staff, three black crows are rotating around the head of the staff.

"Hehe", Master Mo Ning smiled, did not speak, and raised his hand to be a fireball technique. Mage Sytie has been walking in an adventurous career for many years, and narrowly dodged it, but Pete couldn't dodge it and was grazed by a fireball. A feeling of pain in the bone marrow made him can't help but cry out.

All of a sudden, the explosion sounded in this area of Kyoto City, and from time to time black balls of light streaked across the sky, and the next second, the place where the balls of light passed turned into nothingness.

Knowing that the powerful mage Seti did not dare to fight, after fighting for a while, he fled to the city with the other two mages.

"Elby Mage, are you chasing?" a mid-level mage asked, looking back.

"Nonsense, of course you have to chase!" It turns out that Mage Mo Ning is Abiel who has risen from darkness.

A group of people chased and fled, and as they passed, Master Setty noticed that from time to time there were Western Frontier Guards soldiers with weapons in their hands, slashing and killing drunk Guards soldiers.

"Suffer!" was the only thought in the minds of several people.

"Ahh

"Angelina!" Exclaimed Pete, who hesitated. Looking back at Setie, "Mage Setie, take care!" immediately turned around and ran towards Angelina, and Angelina also raised her head with difficulty, the corners of her mouth were covered with blood.

Setie felt the corners of her eyes moisten a little, but this was not the time to be sad. She had to get out of here and find out why all this was happening.

"Ahh

And in the secret room of the ** library, Lineker and Kuta were looking at each other nervously. "What should I do?" Kuta?"

"You can't get out, they're very tightly arranged. Kuta shook her head.

"It doesn't matter if I can't get out, I'm old. Kuta, you don't have to go out, no one hurts you. But these kids out there, they're still young, they're all the elite of San Jose, they can't die. ”

Kuta lifted his old face, "No one can't die, Lineker, and don't forget, I'm used to seeing life and death. ”

Lineker was silent.

After a long time, the ** library is still quiet, and time is passing minute by minute. Until there was a ding-dong sound outside, Master Merlin, with several ** masters, walked into the ** library.

"Mr. Kuta, Mr. Lineker!" Merlin gracefully bowed to the two who had just walked out of the room, "Alright!"

Kuta showed a strange expression and Lineker looked angry, "Merlin, you can actually do such a thing!" Lineker angrily accused Merlin, in fact, his words at the moment were simply nonsense, Merlin and his allies must have been planning for a long time, so naturally they would not be afraid of Lineker's accusations.

"Mr. Lineker, do you know what the status of the Ryan royal family was in the Magic Empire back then?" Merlin suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

Lineker naturally didn't know, he shook his head blankly, and Kuta on the side, his monocular lens actually flickered. Merlin smiled, with a look of "I really don't know", and turned to Kuta, "Dear Guardian of History, you should know!"
