On the back of the three-headed demon dragon, Merlin stood with another archmage, an old man who looked old and had white hair, he was the elder of the royal elders, Master Byron.

Now they are far away from the City of Light, and are flying towards a remote place in the Black Moon Kingdom, and they are not very far from the previous Black Moon Kingdom kings.

"Mage Byron, the Black Moon Kingdom has now become the Black Moon Empire, unifying the entire world, and it is the second huge empire after the Morta Empire, as a royal elder, you should be very pleased, right?"

Merlin asked with a smile.

"Yes, His Majesty Bhutto XVII was crowned emperor and led the Black Moon Kingdom to unify the whole world, as a member of the royal family, of course I feel gratified. However, now that the royal family has lost the Purple Gold Crown, it seems that behind the prosperity, there are many hidden crises, but fortunately, His Majesty can see it clearly, so he asked me to take Master Merlin to the hidden place. ”

Merlin nodded, it seems that the entire royal family knows that the royal family is in danger now, and if you don't pay attention, you may end up even more miserable than when you were in the Black Moon Kingdom.

"By the way, have you ever entered the royal family's secret place?"

"As an archmage, I naturally went in, but I couldn't go deep at all, and I don't know how the original Black Moon Archmage got in?"

When Archmage Byron mentioned this, he felt a wave of helplessness, as if this was the last thing he wanted to face, and if it weren't for the direct order of Bhutto XVII this time, he really didn't want to return to this secret place.

"Hoo ......"

The wings of the three-headed demon dragon set off a gust of wind and quickly slid down into a dense forest, in front of the dense forest. It's a secluded valley.

"This is the valley. Mage Merlin. Please follow me, there are actually some rune circles hidden here, all of which have been arranged by the elders of our royal family members for generations, and there are even some more powerful arrangements, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Master Merlin must not follow me. ”

In fact, there is no need for Byron to remind him, Merlin has already discovered the surroundings of this valley with his mental power. All of them are dense rune arrays, which hide killing intentions, and if you don't pay attention to them, you will fall into an extremely terrifying rune array.

This is not an ordinary rune array, some of them are particularly terrifying, I am afraid that even the great legends will be trapped, after all, this is the elders of the royal family for generations. It took all his might to arrange such a terrifying rune array. The defenses of this hidden place are even more complete than those of the royal capital. It is enough to show how much the royal family attaches importance to the hidden places.

Following Master Byron to the bottom of the valley, there was a waterhole, and Master Byron began to cast a rune circle and slammed into the waterhole.

"Boom".

It was as if the whole valley was shaking, and Merlin saw as the waterhole began to split in both directions, revealing a large dark hole.

Merlin raised his eyebrows, he looked around, and had a bold guess in his heart, this valley, this waterhole, was not even natural, but man-made.

So, Merlin asked in a low voice, "Master Byron, this valley, the waterhole here, and this passage don't seem to be naturally generated, right?"

Mage Byron glanced at Merlin in surprise, then nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Mage Merlin really has good eyesight, yes, this place is not naturally generated at all, the valleys, waterholes, passages and rune circles everywhere around here are all arranged by the royal family for generations." This is not a hidden place, behind the passage, is the real hidden place!"

The royal family actually spent so much energy to hide the true location of the hidden place, and Merlin is now more and more curious about this hidden texture, what kind of place can the royal family spare no effort to protect.

"Master Merlin, let's go, this passage is very long, and it will take a while!"

Master Byron was the first to enter the passage under the waterhole, and Merlin followed. The passage was pitch black and slanted downward, making it difficult to tell the direction.

However, what can be known is that this passage is also "misleading" others, so that those who break into this place cannot know the exact location here, because there are even rune circles in the passage, which can block the exploration of spiritual power.

"It's really tight!"

Merlin couldn't help but be a little amazed, the elders of the royal family had almost thought of all the situations that could occur in one qiē, and they all had countermeasures, even Merlin didn't know the specific direction of this passage now.

But one thing is certain, it is indeed going all the way down, it should be underground.

Merlin touched the cave walls in the passage with his hand, they were all very hard, without a trace of dampness, and the cold touch seemed to precipitate the ancient years.

This passage must have been stored for a long time.

After walking for about an hour, the Byron mage in front of him stopped and came to a large stone gate.

"Open!"

Mage Byron struck another mysterious rune mark, and then, the huge stone door opened with a tremor, and the smell of dust came to his nose.

Behind the stone door, there is a secret room, which is full of some elemental crystals, alchemy treasures, etc., and even some advanced spiritual meditation techniques, Pandora magic energy, and so on.

In short, this is a treasure trove.

"This is the hidden place?"

Merlin frowned and asked, although there are many elemental crystals, spell-casting tools, and even magic energy here, however, it is impossible for a treasure like the Purple Gold Crown to appear, and to Merlin, these things are even more worthless.

Master Byron smiled mysteriously, "Of course this is not a mysterious place, but if someone else breaks in, they may think that this is a mysterious place!"

Hearing Master Byron's words, Merlin suddenly realized that the qiē here was prepared by the royal family, and the place was arranged to look like a treasure place, but in fact it was not worth mentioning, just to confuse those spellcasters who also broke in.

Mysterious place, somewhere else!

Mage Byron came to an inconspicuous statue at the front of the chamber, and then typed out mysterious runes one after another. The statue spun immediately. This was followed by the front of the chamber. Another passage appeared.

"With such a lot of effort, I'm afraid that even if someone follows up, they won't be able to find the real hidden place!"

Merlin couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart, to be able to guard this place so closely, this secret place must be extraordinary, and the royal family can be said to have done their best.

Following Master Byron behind, Merlin entered the passage again. The passage appears to be diagonally upward, with many bends and turns.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire in front of him, and the pace of the Byron mage in front of him began to slow down.

"What's wrong?"

Merlin asked, looking at his feet, and there seemed to be a trace of heat rising, and the closer he got, the hotter it became.

"Here we are, Hidden Place!"

Master Byron's expression was extremely solemn, and Merlin followed his gaze to find out. It turned out that the front had reached the end of the passage, and behind the end. It is a very large underground palace.

This underground palace is full of fiery red, and the temperature is extremely high, so that both Mage Byron and Merlin have to release spells to resist.

"This is the hidden place?"

Merlin asked curiously, Byron seemed to be a little jealous of this place, Merlin didn't care, and strode into the underground palace.

This underground palace is extremely luxurious, the ground is inlaid with transparent crystals, but on both sides of the palace, there are some huge pools, and the pools are not water, but hot and viscous rich magma.

These magma are constantly tumbling, and they contain a terrifying power that makes people tremble, even ordinary legends are afraid of these magma.

However, what really surprised Merlin was that he actually felt a trace of the Origin here, or the Elemental Origin.

In the void realm, as long as there is vitality and vitality of the plane, there is an origin, the plane origin is the core of a plane, whoever can control the origin of the plane, then can become the master of the plane, completely control this plane.

In the past, when Merlin had just returned to the Land of Glory, he had also thought about controlling the origin of the plane, controlling the entire Land of Glory, and becoming the master of the Land of Glory.

It's just that after he returned to the Land of Glory, he tried it only to find that the origin of the plane seemed to have disappeared, and it was completely gone.

It's not that the plane origin has disappeared, this is simply impossible, because once the origin disappears, the land of glory will become a dead place, but although the glory land has declined, it has not become a dead place, on the contrary, it is still thriving.

Therefore, Merlin even more suspected that the dimensional origin of the Land of Glory might have been hidden by the three supreme arcane mages.

And now, in this magnificent huge palace, in a strange underground space, in the hidden place that the royal family has guarded for thousands of years, there is a trace of the breath of the origin of the plane, which makes Merlin very excited.

The Land of Glory, a plane where the caster's civilization originated, if it obtained its origin, it would be of great help to Merlin even if he wanted to condense the strongest law.

Merlin closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power began to carefully capture the breath of the elemental origin, the elemental origin of the land of glory, even if it was a titled legend, even a great king, could not capture.

Only in this hidden place can a trace of breath be captured.

Following the aura of this elemental origin, Merlin continued to walk forward, and after about ten minutes, Merlin heard the voice of Master Byron in disbelief: "Master Merlin, why are you so familiar with the Hidden Land?"

"Familiar?"

Merlin opened his eyes, in front of him, there was a quaint gate, and the Byron mage next to him was shocked, just now he did not lead the way, but Merlin himself found this place.

"Master Merlin, the treasure is inside, but if you want to enter, you must defeat the guards, and the Black Moon Archmage didn't know what method he used to enter it. ”

Master Byron pointed to the gate in front of him, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Merlin also stared at this gate with blazing eyes, of course he was not familiar with the hidden place, and the reason why he was able to find this place just now was because he felt the breath of the origin of the plane.

And now, in front of this gate, the aura of the plane origin is getting stronger and stronger, and it is obvious that the plane origin is likely to be behind this gate, that is, the place where Master Byron said, where the treasure is located, the purple gold crown of the royal family was obtained from it.

"And the guards, where are the guards?"

Merlin looked around, but didn't see the guards.

"Those two statues!"

Byron pointed to the two stone carvings on either side of the gate.

Merlin's gaze also looked at the two stone sculptures, which had actually changed as Master Byron spoke, and were being "resurrected" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Finally someone is here again......"

The two stone guards, armed with spears, had wooden faces, but they exuded a strong vitality, which meant that they were indeed lives.

At this moment, Merlin saw the incredible transformation from a non-living form to a living form in the Void Realm, which was even more shocking than the transformation of the black cat Didymoth.

From lifeless stone sculptures, they have been transformed into two "living" lifeforms, and they look similar to ordinary people, which is beyond Merlin's cognition.

Obviously, Master Byron was far from knowing what this meant.

"You can transform life traits at will?"

After a long time, Merlin gradually calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

"Huh, who still knows about the transformation of life? It seems that the people who came this time are no longer the ignorant spellcasters of the past. The two stone guards flickered, and then focused their eyes on Merlin.

"What do you want? Defeat us, you can get everything you want. ”

"What is this place, and who are you two?"

Merlin couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, defeat us and you'll know the answer!"

The two guards didn't say anything, and they had to be defeated before they could answer the question.

"Mage Merlin, as long as you defeat them, you will be able to enter it and select treasures, the Purple Gold Crown is also the treasure that the Black Moon Archmage selected from it. ”

Master Byron said excitedly.

"Oh, you're a little one...... More than 200 years ago, you and a few other people came here and wanted to break in, but you were so weak that you couldn't even pass our level, so why are you bringing others with you now?"

The two guards actually knew Master Byron, Merlin looked at Master Byron's embarrassed expression, and immediately understood in his heart that Master Byron had indeed been here, but he failed and failed to obtain the treasure.

"Defeat you?"

"Yes, beat us!"

Merlin took a deep breath, whether it was because of the increasingly strong aura of plane origin or the contract with the royal family, he needed to defeat these two strange guards and break into this mysterious stone gate.

"Okay, I'll break it!" Merlin replied in a firm voice.

Mage Byron quickly stepped back, looking at Merlin expectantly.
