After a long journey, Morin and the others finally returned to Winter City.

Although nothing has changed in Winter City, it has given Merlin a new feeling.

"It's not easy to go out, and in the future, it will definitely not be easy to go out. ”

Albert took a deep breath, then spit out heavily, and after thinking about it, he said in an affirmative tone.

Aubrey and Daphne next to her looked approving, and Daphne still missed her tailor's shop, saying that in the past few days since she left, she wondered if the employees in the store would be greedy for some silver coins.

Morin smiled and didn't say anything, he had to go back early and strive to become a third-class apprentice as soon as possible.

That's the most important thing right now.

"Hey, Maureen, Albert, you're back. At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in beautiful clothes and with a strong fat powder on his body walked over, he was very handsome, with a very beautiful beard, it was none other than Blake.

Blake beckoned, "I'm sorry you left, do you know, during the time you left, there was a beautiful lady who came to Winter City, she is a third-class wizard apprentice, but the most important thing is her beauty, oh damn it, she's so beautiful." ”

"Oh yes, that's a good thing. ”

Maureen smiled, noncommittal.

"Yes, Maureen, don't you know, that lady has a great deal of knowledge, whatever it is, she can answer, talk endlessly, answer fluently, without the slightest omission, such a beauty is the most tasteful. ”

Blake became interested, said loudly, and said: "By the way, let's get down to business, that lady came here to find someone, Maureen, Albert, do you have any news, don't say it, you know, what a good thing it is to be able to help such a lady......"

"I've got some news for you. ”

Maureen glanced at Blake and said, "I've left beforehand, everyone, goodbye." He waved at Albert, then turned and rode away.

Albert and the others hurriedly returned the salute, while Blake, who had never seen Morin make a move, looked at Morin and muttered softly, saying that Morin was rude and something like that, which made Albert and them smile bitterly.

Soon, Maureen returned to his castle.

"The hosts. ”

As soon as he returned to the castle, old Hank greeted him and bowed to Maureen.

"Hmm. Maureen nodded, dismounted, and strode toward the castle.

"Master, during the time you left, everything was normal in the castle, Jace and their guards pacified a bandit nearby, so they consumed some weapons, but fortunately there were no casualties, they will come and report to you later, in addition, the financial situation in the fief is as follows, I will report to you, this is my duty, which ......"

Maureen sat down in the hall when old Hank stood and talked.

"These are all small things, Hank, you just have to watch and deal with it yourself. Maureen waved his hand.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he said, "By the way, has the Marquis of Umas recently sent prisoners and hooligans over?"

"I sent some, but the number is not as much as before, according to the Marquis, it has been able to send it recently, and it has been almost sent, so, for the reduced number, he is also sorry, and he also specially sent a messenger to say that he wants more living people, unless it is to start a war, the Marquis of Dinan next to him is a very good object......"

Old Hank was stunned for a moment, and then immediately spoke.

"Okay, needless to say, I got it. Maureen stopped old Hank, no matter what Umas thought, but he was not interested.

He's just here to complete Adrian's mission, that's all.

"There are no living people...... "Merlin's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "By the way, didn't Jace pacify the bandits nearby, how many of them are there?"

"About two hundred. Old Hank was stunned and replied.

"Two hundred, plus the ones sent by Umas, are almost enough. ”

Merlin thought to himself.

Then he stood up and said, "Send all those people to the back mountain, and follow the old rules, you know?"

"Okay, master. ”

Old Hank's lips moved, but in the end, he bowed his head and said respectfully.

Morin nodded, went back to his room, changed his clothes, and walked to the back mountain, where the Sodara Man-Eating Tree was hidden.

Everything was intact in the cave, and there was no change at all, which made Maureen very satisfied.

It didn't take long for the bandits and prisoners to arrive.

Of course, it was sent to the entrance of the cave, and Morin himself went to carry the thieves and prisoners into the cave.

"Alright, let's get started. Maureen smiled as he looked at the bandits and prisoners who had seen the Sodara Man-Eating Tree with a blank look on their faces.

With a slight movement of his hand, Morin kicked a screaming prisoner to the man-eating tree that was constantly twisting the tentacles of the octopus.

Immediately, there was a sound of squirming and sucking in the cave, and it was the Sodara man-eating tree feeding.

The fruit at the top of the cannibal tree lit up slightly, as if at this time, it had invisibly become a little bigger.

A few days later.

The Sodara man-eating tree in the cave has become huge, and the octopus tentacles are like giant pythons, writhing constantly, looking very scary.

There were mutilated corpses and simple clothing on the ground, indicating that there had been a living person.

"Well, now the last batch of fruit is ripe. ”

Morin looked at the fruit on the branch, the corners of his mouth curled, and his eyes flashed with an eerie glow.

It was quiet in the cave.

Merlin sat cross-legged on the stone bed, little by little particles of light shimmering on his forehead, faintly, and a vague rune array could be seen emerge.

Airplanes.

Suddenly, a large number of dark energy particles and fire energy particles surged over, surrounding Merlin, incomparably rich.

The rune array floated out, and then it emitted a silver faint light, and then it trembled, like a brand, and fell on Morin's forehead at once.

The rune glowed on Morin's forehead, and through this rune, the phantom of the other two runes could be seen in a blur.

Finally, the glimmer of the rune array gradually dimmed.

"Whew~~" Merlin opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"A third-class apprentice. ”

Merlin laughed, and there was a joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

After consuming the last batch of cannibal tree fruits, and after a few more days, Merlin finally broke through and became a third-class apprentice.

He stood up, patted his clothes, and looked at the central area of the cave, where the fruitless Sodara man-eating tree was writhing its branches and branches, looking strange.

"It has already borne fruit, then, this man-eating tree has little effect. ”

Mo Lin gently tugged at his clothes, his eyes fell on the Sodara Cannibal Tree, and he muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, the Sodara Cannibal Tree is still a rare illusion material, since that's the case, don't waste it." ”

Merlin smiled and slowly stretched out his hand, and a dense cloud of dark energy particles gathered in his hand, forming a ball of black qi with slight fluctuations.

There was a shrill screech from the cave.

Soon, though, the voice calmed down.

Merlin slowly walked out of the cave, his expression calm, except that in the black cloth he held in his right hand, he could see a small dry tree the thickness of an arm, which was a treated Sodara man-eating tree.

"This cave...... Goodbye too. ”

Morin stood outside the cave, his hand outstretched, his lips twitching slightly, and he whispered a spell.

As the incantation sounded, fireballs and acid missiles flew out of his hands and landed around the cave, and then the muffled sound of booming and booming kept coming, and the big stones kept falling.

Soon, the cave disappeared as if it had never existed.

It's just that the surroundings look a little desolate.

Merlin glanced at where he was, then turned around and walked outside.

There was a lot of movement here, and the guards guarding outside looked at the back mountain in disbelief, but because of the previous order, they didn't go to check, but there was still a look of surprise in their eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"Master, you ......" Old Hank and Jace came over, and they looked at Merlin as if they were about to say something.

"Hank, you're just in time. Morin raised his eyes, glanced at Old Hank, and said, "Arrange for someone to prepare hot water and hearty food." ”

"It's over, I'm hungry. ”

Maureen said, and under the respectful gaze of Old Hank, he walked towards the castle.
