After returning to the Dark Forest and settling back in, Merlin returned to his old life.

In this way, he had been in the Dark Forest for several years, and now he was back, but it didn't feel the same as before.

Not to mention the others, even the number of wizard apprentices is much less, and the surroundings are empty and seem quite deserted.

During this period of time, Mo Lin also learned that in fact, only some of the wizard apprentices who went to participate in the Extreme Realm Trial, and those core family members of the wizard family would not take the risk to participate, in addition, every official wizard could shelter an apprentice, so that the apprentice did not have to participate in the Secret Realm Trial.

This is a power that belongs to official wizards.

So, although it was said at the beginning that every wizard apprentice must go, in the world, there are exceptions to everything.

Today, there are only about two hundred wizard apprentices in the entire Dark Forest, which is more than half of what it used to be.

Adrian also had a place to asylum an apprentice, but he chose Winnie because in his eyes, Winnie was his daughter, and it was understandable to choose Winnie.

Winnie and Maureen said this, and a look of apology and guilt appeared on her face, and she was begging for Maureen's forgiveness, but Maureen only smiled softly and did not react otherwise.

With the return of the surviving apprentices, everything about the secret realm began to spread in the dark forest.

A name soon became known.

Jack!

Jack the Ripper!

This is a mysterious person, who appeared very suddenly, is very strong, and actually killed a powerful wizard apprentice like Baker, and also, snatched the Skoll Soul Hunting Fruit, for ordinary wizard apprentices, Jack the Ripper, such a person is simply legendary.

And the reason why Jack the Ripper is so popular in the Dark Forest is very simple, because Jack the Ripper is a wizard apprentice in the Dark Forest.

However, the wizards of the Dark Forest did not even know who Jack was, which undoubtedly aroused the apprentices' curiosity.

"It's really interesting. "Morin walked in the dining room, gently cutting the tender veal loin with a knife, chewing slowly, and tasting it carefully.

He listened to the apprentices around him who were talking, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled.

I wonder what those wizards think of Jack the Ripper, a wizard apprentice who doesn't exist?

"Jack!"

"Jack the Ripper!"

"We've got to find Jack the Ripper!"

In an attic in the Dark Forest, the official wizards gathered around and were talking to each other.

A middle-aged wizard roared loudly, he was wearing a gorgeous robe, his expression was serious, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

"Baroque, be quiet, this is the Dark Forest, not the Olivia House Parliament Chamber. A wizard with the appearance of a girl raised her eyes, glanced at Baroque, and said lightly, she was Vivien, the official wizard of the Dark Forest. She has hair like seaweed.

Baroque breathed for a moment, and then he looked at Vivien, a look of anger on his face.

"Alright, Vivien, and Baroque, be quiet. Agulit sat on the top high-backed chair, his figure looked particularly tall under the scattered skylight, he raised his hand, and said: "I can understand the mood of the Baroque wizard, after all, this time, the apprentices of the Olivia family have all died in the secret realm, which is really a little too miserable." ”

"Yes, Boss, this must have been done by the so-called Jack the Ripper, please find him, and then we will kill him!"

The expression on Baroque's face was ugly, although those wizard apprentices were not core members of the Olivia family, they were also members of the Olivia family, so many people died at one time, Baroque's heart was dripping blood.

Although he was angry, Baroque couldn't help but show a respectful look when facing Ogullet.

"Oh, Baroque, are we going to kill a wizard apprentice with such potential?" next to him, a purple-haired male wizard laughed and said, "You know, you're just a phantasmagor." ”

Baroque's face turned red, but soon, he sneered and said, "I? no, of course I'm nothing, killing Jack is not for my sake, but for my uncle, Philip." ”

Philip.

Hearing Baroque say the name, there was some silence around, one might even say silence.

Philip Olivia, this is an elemental solid wizard, and he is only a thin layer of paper away from a second-level wizard.

It can be said that Philip, he is the real pillar of the entire Olivia family, and he is also the confidence of the Olivia wizard family.

"What to do with Jack, let's talk about it later. Agulit spoke, his face calm, and there was no other expression on his face, and said, "First of all, we need to find Jack." ”

"He's an apprentice in our Dark Forest, and it's undeniable that not only the wizard's robes on his body, but also the traces of sorcery he wears with his spells. ”

"So, Jack must be among those wizard apprentices who have returned, and there will be no surprise. ”

Agulit said lightly.

The other wizards all nodded, without the slightest look of surprise on their faces.

"Then we're going to capture the surviving wizard apprentices and kill them all, so we can ......" Baroque was about to say something, but when he felt the contemptuous gazes of the wizards around him, he couldn't help but stop.

Adrian directly ignored Baroque's words and said, "In charge, Jack has a strong strength, so his performance in the dark forest must be very unusual." ”

"You know, the strength is overwhelming, and the fighting experience is rich, after all, these things can't be formed overnight, and they can't be hidden. ”

"So, let's start with the apprentices who are very prominent on weekdays, and the means are gentle, not too violent, no matter what happens later, but it's not bad to have such apprentices, isn't it?"

Adrian said with a smile.

"Agreed. ”

"Yes. ”

After a little thought, the wizards agreed to Adrian's proposal.

They began to talk about the rest of the story.

"The apprentices came out of the secret realm alive, this time it is not easy, in order to make them feel worthy of their own efforts and loyalty to the dark forest, therefore, I think, the apprentices should be given a chance to choose the advanced meditation method. Adrian spoke lightly, and he continued to propose.

"No way!"

Baroque's face changed, and he immediately refused without thinking about it. Several other old-fashioned wizard family wizards also instantly echoed Baroque's words.

"I have a proposal, let's vote on it after everyone has heard it. Agulit saw the scene and smiled.

Soon, the results of the vote on the proposal came out.

Baroque and several other wizard family wizards glanced at each other and slowly sat down, the result of the vote was beyond their expectations, and a gloomy look appeared on their faces.

Although there is a limit on the number of places, there are still some advanced meditation methods that will be spread.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you. ”

As if thinking of something, Ogulit laughed and said, "Actually, after the secret realm, we may be at war with wizarding organizations such as Hard's Castle, the Blue Ring, and the Mist Labyrinth, but now, no, we have a new change." ”

Agulit tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then uttered four words.

"Dark Elves. ”

............

"Please follow me. ”

A servant walked ahead, leading Merlin in one direction.

Maureen tugged at his clothes and didn't speak.

He was still a little surprised by what had happened.

Originally, he was in the experimental area of the Dark Forest, trying to use some high-end instruments to conduct a witchcraft experiment, but unexpectedly, on his way back to the room, several high-ranking servants of the Dark Forest stopped him, and then, after the servant showed him the warrant to be in charge of Ogulit, he took him in a certain direction.

Soon, they were outside a room, and the servants saluted Maureen slightly, and then turned to leave.

Merlin stood outside the door, and when he stepped forward, he noticed that a wizard apprentice had come out of the room, and the wizard apprentice had come out of the secret realm with him, so Merlin had some impression of him.

"Good day. ”

"Good day. ”

Maureen and the wizard's apprentice walked each other for a while, and then he opened the door to the room and walked in.

The room was simply furnished, a ball of light floated in the air, a soft light, a table, a black stone chair, and several wizards were sitting or standing, their eyes falling on Merlin who had just entered.

Merlin was stunned and bowed slightly towards these official wizards to show his respect.

"Maureen, Maureen, Olsen, you're Richard's friend, I've heard him talk to Lucy about you. Vivien, who had seaweed-like hair, looked at Morin, smiled, and said, "Okay, Morin, you sit down first, don't be nervous, we just want to ask you a few questions." ”

Maureen nodded, then sat down in his chair.

Vivien and several other wizards alternately asked Morin questions about the situation in the secret realm, and then about life in the dark forest, and they didn't ask harsh questions, but they were very concise, and they could clearly grasp the trajectory of the apprentice's life.

Morin didn't understand what was going on, but later, after seeing the chip's reminder about witchcraft detection, he realized that it was the wizards who were testing the authenticity of what he was saying, guessing if he was Jack.

Morin used the chip to secretly adjust and control his body precisely and subtly, without revealing a trace of flaws, which is his confidence in the chip.

After he became a third-class apprentice, the function and role of the chip have long been different from before.

In addition, Morin is not very worried about his exposure, it is very simple, he is in the dark forest, his performance is mediocre, if it is eye-catching, it is only in pharmacy.

Soon, the questioning was over, and Maureen said goodbye to the wizards, then got up and left the room.

"How's it going?" Vivien turned her head to look at a green-haired female wizard next to her.

"The suspicion is low, probably not. ”

The female wizard dispersed the hidden witchcraft in her hand, patted her forehead, and said a little helplessly.

Vivien and the other wizards glanced at each other, yes, this Merlin just had a good talent in pharmacy.

"So, go ahead. ”

The wizards were rather helpless, and then at their signal, another wizard apprentice walked into the room.

Morin was very confident in the chip, and sure enough, in the end, he did not disappoint him, he passed.

Two days later, Adrian asked Maureen to go to his lab.

"Merlin, as I said before, as long as you can come out of the secret realm, then you will be richly rewarded. Adrian grinned as he lifted his glasses as he pushed a black cloth bag over and placed it in front of Merlin.

"Now, it's time for you to get rewarded. ”

Adrian's voice was full of comfort, and he looked at Merlin with a look of encouragement and joy on his face.

Morin bowed slightly towards Adrian, and then he opened the black cloth bag.

There weren't many things in the black cloth bag, two low-level magic stone cards, a book, a scroll, a purple vial, and in addition to that, there were a lot of materials and plants.

"The book and the scroll ......" For the materials and the two magic stone cards, Morin only looked at it slightly.

His gaze was quickly drawn to books and scrolls.

He stretched out his hand, his fingers stroking over the books and scrolls, and in an instant, tiny runes of witchcraft emerged from the books, flickering in the air.

"The scroll is a template for official witchcraft, and as for the book, it's ......," Adrian explained, "Meditation, the garbage meditation of the Dark Forest." ”

Merlin was stunned, then nodded.

If you are an ordinary wizard apprentice, you can use two low-level magic stone cards, plus your own accumulation, you can exchange it for Finnish potions, and then use witchcraft templates and garbage meditation methods, it is estimated that you can become the so-called official wizard of your dreams.

It's a pity that Morin doesn't use it, and he doesn't need it.

The expression on his face was faint, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.

"It's ......," Merlin's gaze fell on the purple vial.

The purple vial was beautiful, containing a cloud of silver liquid, constantly flowing, glowing with a light like galactic star-sand star, and it looked extremely moving.

Morin looked up and couldn't help but look at Adrian.

"This is Silver Ink, and it's your reward this time. Adrian said on the side, "Silver ink can play a good auxiliary role when promoting to a full-fledged wizard, and it is also a precious material for wizard apprentices. ”

Merlin smiled, picked up the purple vial with the silver ink, and didn't speak.

For other wizard apprentices, the Silver Ink was only a precious thing, but for Merlin, the Silver Ink was an indispensable material for him to construct the Minai Totem.

Now, the silver ink, he finally got it.
