Chapter 131: Confronting Merlin
Towards noon, when the sun slowly climbed to the middle of the heavens and was about to pass the top of the tall tower that stood on the earth, the group of people who had long been exhausted were still crawling slowly on the dim staircase of the tower. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know how many steps I have climbed, except for Liang Feng's chaotic breath, and the others are already out of breath at this time. Among several people, especially Mia, who lost the most physical strength, if this weak girl hadn't been supported by Liang Feng next to her, I am afraid that she would have already withdrawn from the trip halfway.
On the other side, Merlin and Mark's hearts had already 'greeted' the ancestor of the old man in black eighteen times. Anyone can see that everyone came up all the way, at least the thousands of steps they crawled on, and it was definitely deliberately done by the old man in black for the whole people. Based on the knowledge of the two of them, it is not difficult to guess that there must be some mechanism in this building that reaches into the sky that allows people to go up and down freely. And the recklessness of the words of the two just now made this old man who held a grudge selectively forget about that mechanism.
Just when the priests, who were on the verge of extreme physical strength, were about to lose their hold, the situation finally changed, and after turning another corner, a dark and heavy hardcover door stood silently in front of the five people.
At the end of the staircase, there were no steps other than this door, and from time to time there was a chaotic discussion within the door, clearly conveying an uplifting message to several people. The endless staircase was finally over, and the few people were only one door away from Merlin!
Seeing that the ordeal was finally over, the two of them, who were already exhausted, sat on the ground and gasped for breath regardless of their image, while constantly using recovery techniques to recover their exhausted physical strength. And Mia also weakly clinged to the handrail next to the stairs and took the opportunity to rest.
And the old man in black who had been leading the way in front of him still looked normal, and even his breath was not disturbed. After arranging his slightly messy collar, the old man respectfully walked to the closed door and knocked softly on the door three times in succession.
"Knock Knock"
"This old guy has a lot of stamina. It seems that he is at least a high-level warrior, what does he have to do with Merlin? Could it be Merlin's combat servant?" After noticing the other party's super stamina, Liang Feng's heart began to become curious about the relationship between the mysterious old man and Merlin.
"Come in. ”
A crisp knock on the door just sounded for a while, and a sound of vicissitudes passed through everyone's ears.
This voice, like an old man, whispered in people's ears across the long river of time. With a deep voice, the tightly fastened door began to slowly open. In the room, a glimmer of light came out of everyone's eyes.
After declining Liang Feng's kindness to continue to support, Mia cheered up and walked into Merlin's office with Merlin and Mark, who had recovered slightly. Liang Feng paused slightly, and after a few people had completely walked in the door, he entered the room with vigorous steps.
The room was full of staggered figures in different postures, and it was clear that Merlin was not alone. Among these figures, Liang Feng found several acquaintances, including Philip, Yan Fang and others, as well as several other men and women whom Liang Feng did not know. But these people are dressed in uniform clothes, and the roland flowers on their collars indicate their identity.
In the center of the room, behind the table with his back to the window, an old magician with a white beard leaned back in a chair. At this time, the old man was closing his eyes, and with the gradually amplified footsteps of Liang Feng and the others, Merlin slowly opened his bright eyes.
At this moment, Liang Feng and Merlin's eyes met for the first time.
"This old man's eyes are so sharp! It seems that this conversation is not simple, this violet dean is probably a figure beyond my imagination. But strange as it may seem, what was the familiarity he gave me at first glance? Am I being too tired and delusional?"
After rubbing his eyes and staring at Merlin carefully for a few moments, Liang Feng still couldn't find the feeling he had when he first looked at the past. After repeated confirmation, he concluded that he must have been too tired after climbing the stairs and hallucinated.
After Merlin's gaze swept over Liang Feng, he moved his gaze to Mia on the side. Maybe Liang Feng was concerned about the chaos, as a bystander, he could clearly feel that in the almost ruthless Merlin's eyes, the moment he came into contact with Mia, there seemed to be a trace of humanity in his empty eyes.
"It's really strange that this old man's eyes have softened, could it be that Mia's charm is too great, and even Merlin, who doesn't miss words, can be infected?"
Liang Feng, who had everything in his eyes, inexplicably surged with a subtle emotion in his heart, which made him feel irritable.
"Marlin, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you add a chair to my distinguished guest?"
The situation of Liang Feng and the others naturally fell in Merlin's eyes, although Merlin had already guessed who secretly made the four of them suffer, but he couldn't discipline his own people in front of outsiders.
Feeling the anger hidden in Merlin's eyes, Marin realized at this moment that it was not a wise move to trick Mia and the others just now. In order to ease Merlin's anger, the only thing he can do at this time is to be submissive.
"It's the old slave who has been negligent, please take a seat. Marlin hurriedly brought four stools and tried to help Merlin and Mark to their seats.
However, he was answered by two cold eyes, and the two exhausted priests stood straight as if they had not seen the chairs beside them.
But Liang Feng and Mia seemed to have made an appointment, and they were indifferent to Marin's overtures.
Even if Mia was innocent before, everything Marlin had done before was enough to make this smart girl understand the other party's thoughts. At this moment, she represents the church, and she naturally cannot disgrace the church with a heavy responsibility.
"Get out!" Merlin commanded in a cold voice!
After hearing this, Marin hurriedly saluted, and then ran out of the land of right and wrong without looking back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the chairs are ready to come up, please sit down and discuss important matters. ”
Merlin naturally knew the resistance of a few people in the audience, and it was not good for him to react too violently at this time. After all, this meeting was the first formal exchange between the priest and the mage after a thousand years of estrangement.
With a wave of Merlin's big hand, Merlin and Mark immediately felt a soft force coming, and the two of them didn't have time to react, but their bodies had fallen backwards unconsciously. When outsiders came, the two sat down in their chairs as if they had accepted Merlin's kindness.
However, this hand has changed in Mia and Liang Feng!
Just as Merlin was about to repeat the old trick, Mia, who had a feeling, let out a low cry, and at the same time took a small step back in fear, looking a little resistant.
Seeing this scene, Liang Feng didn't have time to think about it, he stepped forward with one arrow step, and kicked the other foot in front of nothing!
"Knock"
There was a muffled sound, like the sound of two pieces of steel colliding, and Liang Feng's foot seemed to have kicked something, causing the object to fly upside down and hit Merlin's table right on. Except for Merlin, who was safe and sound, the documents on the table could be regarded as suffering, and after a while, they were suddenly scattered all over the ground.
This move can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the high-level people on the side were obviously stimulated by Liang Feng's rude behavior, and after a short period of surprise, many people whispered, and their eyes looking at Liang Feng were full of unkindness.
"How did you get into the mage's hand?"
However, Merlin waved his hand, suppressed the angry people, and asked calmly.
"Merlin's students are getting more and more presumptuous. A few of them had actually murdered the new students just now! So irritable, so disregard for the lives of others, I really can't imagine what it would be like to meet outside. ”
Philip, who saw everything in his eyes, noticed that the few people who were angry just now were all elite students trained by Merlin himself, and the current senior members of the academy's freshman faction.
Philip's words reached Yan Fang's mind, and the respected veteran nodded in approval.
"Perhaps, there was something wrong with our previous educational direction. Those who wield power, if not brought it in, will bring great calamity to society. Our approach to education has always been to teach students how to use power, but no one has ever paid attention to how students can use power correctly. ”
