Chapter Ninety-Nine: Remembrance (II)
"Edward, this guy seems to have done a lot of things without us. The corners of Merlin's mouth rose slightly when he thought of this, obviously bringing back good memories from the past.
"Teacher Saladin told me to be careful, oh yes, I'll try to remember and see if I can record the specific characteristics of the Wind Demon Wolf. I hope that if you are lucky enough to read my words, you will be able to suffer less. ”
When Merlin saw this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he immediately became interested in the magical pet of the Wind Demon Wolf.
He slowly turned the next page, and was greeted by a vicious giant wolf.
The giant wolf in the portrait is not a low-level sword wolf, covered in sharp black barbs. On the contrary, the light gray fur of the Wind Demon Wolf in the painting looks very soft and smooth.
Merlin knew that the eyes of the sword wolf in his normal state were light brown, and the eyes of the sword wolf in his berserk state were purple-red.
Regardless of its state, the Wind Demon Wolf's eyes were as red as blood.
Merlin studied the portrait for a moment, then began to read a large text on the right, which appeared to be an introduction to the Windwolf Wolf.
"The Wind Demon Wolf is one of the rarest beasts on the continent. It is generally found in ancient primeval forests and feeds mainly on small animals such as hares and pheasants.
The Wind Demon Wolf is not as brutal and obedient as other types of high-level beasts, and has a relatively gentle personality, and usually does not actively attack humans. When their lives are threatened, they will enter a berserk state, and their strength and speed will be increased to several times their usual speed. However, its own defenses are relatively weak, and the durability of the battle is poor.
The Wind Demon Wolf has an agility that surpasses that of any beast, and in its berserk state, it can even match the speed of a dragon's flight!"
"Oh, that's a funny guy. Merlin smiled when he saw this, even though Edward wrote in plain language throughout, he could still feel a warm current flowing through his heart.
"But judging from Edward's strength at the time, it shouldn't be possible to accomplish this task, right?" Merlin was puzzled.
The magician looked at it with questions, and couldn't wait to keep looking. It turned out that Edward took advantage of the lack of stamina of the Wind Demon Wolf, and used the Assassin's unique stealth to cooperate with the dark environment. Edward relied on the Assassin's teleportation ability to harass the beast from all directions, and the other party was unable to determine his exact location.
This tactic caused the Wind Demon Wolf to lose his ability to move due to physical exhaustion before he could enter a berserk state, so he could only be slaughtered.
So Edward successfully took out the beast crystal and handed it over to the Church of Light as trophies. The magician breathed a sigh of relief, slowly closed Assassin's Creed, walked to the door, bent down and gently placed it in a large cloth bag.
The magician opened the door, and a cold wind blew in his face. He turned away and glanced at the contents of the study, remembering that when he first moved into the house, Caesar had invited a guard of honor from the court to celebrate him.
Diana and Edward had dinner with her, and Caesar helped Merlin put the heavy magic books on the shelves.
The scenes of the past are like phantoms of nothingness, but they are vivid, and the laughter and tears in the adventure land always linger in Merlin's heart.
Merlin grew up in a small town called Vero in the south of the continent, and after more than ten years of magical practice, he finally changed everyone's opinion of him. Merlin silently endured the world's evaluation of him, whether those opinions would eventually turn into praise or scolding.
Because Merlin has always been grateful for the past - it is because he was lucky enough to meet Caesar, Edward, and Brandon.
Thanks to the companionship and support of the three of them along the way, Merlin has gone from an unpopular magic apprentice to the most extraordinary magic master on the Starfall Continent!
However, at this moment, he was standing in the empty Prime Minister's Mansion, Edward and Brandon were nowhere to be heard, and Caesar would not waste his precious time on himself at all in order to complete the great mission of unifying the Starfall Continent.
Rui Xiu has taken over his position as prime minister, and the military aircraft department has ordered Merlin to move out of the prime minister's mansion within two days.
This was not surprising to the magician, as he did not have any noble friends with whom he had a close relationship, nor did he join the Magic Guild.
So when everyone pointed the finger at Merlin, no one was willing to stand up and say a good word for him. Edward and Brandon are thousands of miles away on the battlefield, unaware of Grande's political strife.
Merlin has always treated others with enthusiasm and kindness, even as his reputation deteriorated and he was expelled from the Church of Light by his own enlightenment teacher, the Pope, who would never grow up.
And Merlin's Charm of the Wizard, which took two years and a lot of effort to build, was also reduced to a tribute used by the church to collect the power of faith.
All of this is largely due to weaknesses in his character, and one after another heavy blows have made Merlin lose his former vitality and become thinner and thinner.
Now he was helpless to the extreme, endless darkness enveloped everyone and everything around him, and Merlin was obviously on the verge of collapse.
The magician was caught in the memory, his indulgent expression turning his pale face a little bloody.
Unconsciously, Merlin felt his eyes be clouded with a mist, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the winter of 875 in the Landau calendar, this was the day when Caesar conferred the title of "Starry Sky Sword Saint" on behalf of the Church of the Holy Light, and powerful people from all over the continent came to Grande to witness this exciting moment of glory.
At the banquet after the celebration, Edward, drunk and walked up to Merlin and smirked at him.
"Merlin, if anyone tries to disadvantage you or Brandon in the future, be sure to tell me!" the surrounding guests burst into laughter.
"Haha, Edward, you've had a lot of drinks today!" Caesar laughed at the Assassin.
"Hmph, Caesar, I'm already a Sword Saint now, my companion is in trouble, of course I have to stand up!" Edward said "uh~", and let out a long hiccup.
"Hahaha, Edward, you also have to pay attention to your personal image, you always look sloppy, what girl will take a fancy to you?" Brandon walked over to Merlin and said to Edward with a teasing tone.
The guests from afar were amused by the sight before them, and Merlin stood beside Edward without saying a word, his brow and eyes showing a warm warmth.
"Edward, you are really a very gentle person...... Merlin couldn't help but sigh heartily at the thought of this, and his eyes immediately dimmed again.
