Chapter 127: The Second Half of the Prophecy
As the sun set, five magic hours had passed since the fateful conversation in the silver salmon, after which Merlin went to the docks to feed the pigeons, played a few poker games at the casino, won and lost, and by the time he had exchanged his chips back for gold coins and returned to his lodgings with beer and kebabs, it was already evening.
Merlin estimated that the people behind him were almost gone, and threw the food in his hand on the table, only to see the little golem Hecrito standing by the door, looking like he wanted to say something.
Merlin snorted coldly, "What, are you a golem also worried about humans?"
Hecrito lowered his head and looked at his toes.
"I don't remember giving you a sentimental personality when I gave you life, why, do you still want to be a bard?" Merlin had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Just like you, if you go out, you will be caught in two days, but there are countless people who want to cut you open to see what your core is like, do they take into account that you are also an intelligent being?"
The little golem scratched its head and gestured - that wasn't right.
"Alright, that's it, when it's your turn to dictate to me. Merlin said coldly, "How did you do what I asked you to do?"
Hecrito pointed to the chamber behind the fox mask, but shook his head.
The fox masked man didn't bother to take care of it, and only commanded, "Keep your house, and let me know if anyone comes in." β
After saying that, he opened the door to the secret room, and Heclito watched Merlin's back disappear behind the bookshelf, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes that could not be concealed.
............
Motellis.
Including Lolo, Lilith, Onsai, and Pushkin, the high-ranking members of the Sorcerers' Guild and the Lionheart Empire have come together, and the Free City-States and the Holy Alliance have sent emissaries.
On this day, all the representatives of the human world gather at the Mitchell Magic Tower.
The future Lord of the Ultra Magister was teleported back in the middle of the night, and Lilith had originally wanted to put the meeting until the next morning, but no one was sleepy, so Rob simply washed up and pushed open the door to the council chamber.
Everyone stood up and paid their respects to him.
First of all, the representatives of the three forces each introduced the current situation in the territory, the overall situation is the best in the free city-state, the Lionheart Empire is second, and the Holy Alliance is the most severe, during the time when Rob went to Gudris to find Merlin, the representatives of the three parties have discussed many times and reached a basic consensus, the Lionheart Empire and the Free City-State will send another 600,000 troops and a batch of materials to support the Holy Alliance, including nearly 200,000 people who were still in the city of Santa Massa Lehart VII before, and the number of allies who assisted the Holy Alliance in the battle will reach 800,000γ
And the Wizards Association also promised to transfer another thousand middle-level magicians from the free city-state to support the Holy Alliance, and then Lilith made a simple explanation to the three parties on the focus of the work at this stage, there are three main things that the Magicians Association is currently doing, one is to continue the construction of the magic network, which is also a headache for the Magicians Association, once successful, it will completely change the way magicians fight, Arbus repeatedly told D'Ardarion before he died, so the masters of the Magicians Association are basically invested in it.
The second thing is to deal with the abyssal cracks in various places, although Luo Luo can use the Force to close the abyss cracks, but she needs time, during this period Lilith does not plan to wait, in fact, a long time ago, both the church and the wizard association have dealt with the crisis of the abyss cracks, and each has found a set of methods, although it is not as efficient as Luo Luo, but there is no problem in dealing with some small cracks that have not yet grown, and now the monsters everywhere are rioting, but on the other hand, it is also an opportunity, the monsters take the initiative to attack, it is when the cracks are the weakest, and the Magicians Association has also sent an elite team under the escort of the army to try to block some cracksγ
The third thing is the encirclement and suppression of monsters, which is also what all parties are currently working on, whether it is a free city-state or the Lionheart Empire, the Holy Alliance, there are wandering monsters in the territory, which bring great harm to the local civilians, they are extremely destructive, as long as one or two can make several small towns in an area unable to be peaceful.
In addition, there is also the study of the plague and so on, in short, Lilith has hardly had a break in recent times, you must know that she is still the mother of a child, and the criticism of D'Ardarion in the Wizards' Association has become more and more serious because of this, and the latter, the nominal president, has only been in office for a few days and disappeared, which is a bit incompetent in comparison.
Lilith herself was not dissatisfied, and calmly finished her speech, and sat back in her place.
In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Rob, and everyone in the conference hall actually knew very well in their hearts that although they had been trying their best to block wave after wave of attacks, they still couldn't make up for the huge gap between the gods and humans, so far the human side was only a passive defense, and the casualties were increasing every day, and it was only a matter of time before they went on to perish, and the story of the four-eyed "human" civilization has now been heard by the vast majority of people. The level of development of the paper is clear, and the human race has not yet caught up with the aborigines of the Dawn Continent tens of thousands of years ago, and their only hope is in the man in front of them.
Rob nodded, "I met with Merlin this morning, and he agreed to tell me the method of sealing the gods, and he can also provide me with enough philosopher's stones to help me directly raise the realm to the ninth order, if the gods are successful, I should have a way to deal with those things in the kingdom of gods." β
"At what cost, what does he want?" said Lolo, who had also dealt with the Fox Masked Man when she was at Siamus Academy, and who didn't look like a philanthropist.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister shook his head, "He doesn't want anything this time. β
Everyone's faces showed surprise when they heard this, and Lilith and Angsai glanced at each other.
It is no secret that the goblin prophecy has been fulfilled one after another, and only the last half of the sentence remains, "Remember to be wary of the Underworld Tree", and the Underworld Tree is the emblem of the Saint Laurent Brothers School of Magic, so it is Merlin himself if nothing else.
For Merlin, everyone still knows too little, until today it is only known that he was the first person to discover magic, half of Roland's teacher, a monster who has lived for more than 900 years, but he has always been unpredictable about his thoughts, and he doesn't even know if he is a human being, which is also what Lilith and Ang Sai are most worried about.
