In Xueji City, in the darkness, four figures, avoiding the soldiers on the night patrol, shuttled through the streets and alleys, the person in front of them, with strong muscles and a big bag of things, was Li Shanhe, followed by Merlin and Sun Qian, as well as a maid.

"Hey, Merlin, what's this, it's too heavy. Li Shanhe complained to Merlin.

"Shut up, don't bring money, we're going out, just rely on my face to support you, right?" Merlin also carries a lot of things on his back, but on weekdays, Merlin is pampered, and now he is very struggling.

"Why should we be like thieves, Count Merlin, your father has only forbidden you, and you will not run away overnight. Because Sun Qian was a wounded, he didn't carry anything, and the maid behind him was supporting Sun Gan forward.

It turned out that Simon's men told Merlin's father, Archbishop Anthony, and in the afternoon, Anthony gave an order to catch Merlin and others who were reorganizing the army, and then locked Merlin in confinement, and Li Shanhe was also thrown back into his army, asking for reflection, but when he was arrested, Merlin instructed Li Shanhe to come to him that night, and Merlin packed up a lot of valuable things with Sun Qian and the maid, and secretly went out of the house, at this time, he was preparing to leave the city overnight.

"Anthony closed me in the evening, at this time, the guards of several city gates may not receive orders, and Simon may not be willing to let me out of the city, but if it comes tomorrow, the believers of the Temple of Light in the city are the best surveillance, and several guards receive the news, even if it is me, they may not be able to leave the city. Merlin briefly explained the reason, and then turned to the maid and said,

"Karen, come and get something for me, it's too heavy!"

The maid named Kalian took a few packages, hung them on her shoulders, and continued to carry Sun Qian forward, her pace not affected in the slightest.

"But what's the use of passing without an army, or even a uniform. Sun Qian only felt a headache, after entering the royal capital, there were twists and turns, he originally thought that he had finally completed the task successfully, but now he found that this was not the case at all.

"Hehe, old man, don't worry, this guy in front of you, although he is much weaker than me, but he can also be regarded as a slightly more powerful person in the royal army, with those young men and women who he commands you, the combat power they can exert will inevitably improve a lot, and there is also me, a super genius who is unparalleled in the world, you just need to obey my orders." Merlin came out of his mansion, relaxed, and regained his untouched temperament.

“...... However, we already have a ......" Sun Qian suddenly had a bad premonition, and his actions may have caused big trouble by giving Wang a pen in advance.

"Okay, no need to say more, Sun Gan, I know what you want to say, but the guy you are talking about, his identity is obscure, his behavior is strange, he is not trustworthy, and when it comes to those monsters, how can he compare to us as an outsider, let alone command the army. Li Shanhe also said so, Sun Gan had no choice but to shut up, but what made Sun Qian a little relieved was that Li Shanhe and Merlin were undoubtedly people with outstanding talents, and it would be beneficial to have them.

The four of them arrived at the gate in the south of Xueji City after a while, and Sun Qian was puzzled,

"Count Merlin, why don't we go out through the north gate?"

"Normally, if you want to go to the Dark Fortress, you will go through the north gate, but that's why we have to go through the south gate, so although we go around a little, the risk will be much less. Merlin said triumphantly.

“...... But if you go around from the south gate to the north gate and then walk again, isn't it easy to be discovered by the soldiers who patrol the city wall at night... Merlin, do you really have a serious plan?" Li Shanhe complained.

"Hmph, if it's just this reason, how can I go so far, the captain of the South City Gate, who used to be the captain of my guard, not only will there be no trouble when I go out from him, but I can also get supplies. Merlin had a prepared look on his face, but Li Shanhe felt very uneasy, but there was no better way.

The four of them arrived at the south gate of Snow Age City, Merlin walked to the city wall, and shouted softly,

"Karen, Karen!"

I saw that on the city wall, a group of figures was in a commotion, and after a while, the night patrol resumed, and after a while, three soldiers walked down the city wall, and the first person looked around.

"Karen, I'm here!" Merlin waved his hand, and three soldiers came over, the first one of them, and when he saw Merlin, he saluted,

"Lord Merlin!"

"Mmmm, Karen doesn't need to be polite, are you ready for everything I want you to prepare?"

Karen, who was behind Merlin, also stepped forward and greeted,

"Brother!" It turned out that the two were brother and sister.

"Karen?!, yes, I'm relieved to have you with Lord Merlin. Cullen breathed a sigh of relief, Cullen was a little worried when Merlin's men came to contact him during the day, but now......

Cullen walked to the gate of the city and ordered the other two to open it, and he lifted a tarpaulin to cover it, and Merlin looked closer, and it was actually a wagon, and there were many things piled up on it.

Cullen went to the stable in the back, took two horses, tied them to the wagon, and said to Merlin,

"Lord Merlin, time is pressing, I can only find these, there are some food and weapons and tools in the car, please be careful after you leave the city, don't get too far away from Kalian, Karen, you have to take care of your lordship......"

"Okay, brother, don't be verbose, I'll take good care of Lord Merlin, don't you still have to patrol? Karen wanted to say more, but Karen interrupted him and pushed him away, and the two brothers and sisters seemed to be explaining something, and after a while, Karen came back and put everyone's things in the carriage, and said,

"Alright, Lord Merlin, we can go. ”

Merlin nodded, and looked back in the direction of the cathedral, his eyes becoming more and more determined,

"Well, let's go, let's go to Snowfall. ”

......

On the wall of the north gate of the royal capital, the two were looking into the city.

At this time, one of the guards ran up the wall and reported to the two men,

"Report to Your Highness, Count Merlin has left the city through the north gate. ”

The two looked at each other, and one of them shook his head and laughed,

"It seems Merlin didn't go through the north gate, Lord Anthony. "The speaker is none other than the third prince, Simon.

"Well, it's not too stupid, the captain of the night watch at the South Gate today is Karen, their brother and sister have an excellent relationship with Merlin, Merlin wants to go out, it's still very easy. The middle-aged man named Anthony said calmly.

"I didn't expect Lord Anthony to be so familiar with the defense of the city, but this Mr. Cullen is negligent in his duties, should I punish him. Simon smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"If you're going to kill him, be sure to relay Merlin after you kill him. Anthony didn't care if Cullen was alive or dead, and said indifferently.

"Hehe, how would those ignorant people feel if they knew that their beloved Archbishop of the Temple of Light, Duke Anthony, was such a person? Simon looked at the man in front of him playfully.

"Since Merlin didn't go through the north gate, there is no need for me to continue to wait here, and in the future, I can do whatever the Third Highness does, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with me. Anthony ignored Simon's provocation and walked down the wall.
