Chapter 334: Moonlit Night Killing
In the northwest corner of the royal capital, there is a magnificent, full of classical charm manor, outside the manor, there are some guards wearing silver armor, meticulously patrolling around, indicating that the identity of the owner of the manor is very noble.
Those who are familiar with the situation in the royal capital know that the owner of this manor is the fourth prince of the royal family, who is most likely to inherit the throne in five years.
However, at this time, the face of the fourth prince was a little not very good, beside him, there were five mysterious mages standing in one place, most of them were expressionless, only one of the mages knelt on one knee and saluted the fourth prince.
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, this time I am not doing my job well, please punish Your Highness!"
The fourth prince was tall and resembled the eighth prince, but he had short hair as red as a flame, and he looked full of strange magic.
"Master Auden, get up, it's not your fault this time, it's my inconsiderate thinking, I didn't expect this Merlin of the Dark Spirit Realm to be unexpected, even Mage Auden is not an opponent. ”
The fourth prince frowned slightly, Auden is the ninth mage, one of the most powerful mages under him, originally thought that sending Auden to intercept and kill the snake elder and others, and cut off part of the eighth prince's strength, but he didn't expect to kill a strange Merlin, causing Mage Auden to miss.
Ninth Mage Auden raised his head lightly and said cautiously: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, that Merlin's strength is actually not strong, at best it is only equivalent to a fifth-level spellcaster, and it also relies on the power of magic energy! Only the Darkheart Demon of the Abyssal Fortress can do it...... If you have strong mental strength. Don't be afraid of Merlin's dark spells. Then Merlin is nothing to be afraid of!"
On the way back, Master Auden also thought about it carefully, Merlin is strong in dark spells, and the hallucinogenic effect of dark spells is actually not terrible, and only a caster with strong mental power can restrain it.
Once Merlin's dark spells are restrained, a random level 6 mage will be able to suppress Merlin!
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows. Constantly walking back and forth.
"Master Auden, have you investigated clearly, what did the Eighth Prince do when he sent Snake Lao and others to the little-known city-state of Pugas?"
Auden's heart froze, and he said in a solemn tone: "The fourth prince, the investigation has been clear, the eighth prince sent Snake Elder and others to the city-state of Pugas just to find Merlin. And Merlin is the most valued student of Master Leo in the Dark Spirit Realm, and the true purpose of the Eighth Prince is self-evident......"
The fourth prince blurted out: "Is it to win over Master Leo?"
After a pause, the fourth prince showed a sneer on his face: "Hehe." My horrible brother is naïve, a little Leo. What if I kill a level 7 mage? After all, I'm only a level 6 spellcaster, and I've already got the promise of Master Tanin and Master Morstone, and these two mages are powerful level 8 spellcasters......"
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince is really unable to win over a powerful spellcaster, at best, he can win over a Leo...... However, the power of the eighth prince is still huge, and it is still in the royal capital, and the threat to His Highness is still the greatest, Your Highness should not hesitate any longer, it is better to do it as soon as possible!"
One of the mysterious mages whispered.
"Don't worry, Master Tanin and Master Morstone will need a few days to reach the royal capital, and it will be more certain to do it when the two mages arrive! However, this Leo, after killing a seventh-level spellcaster, thinks that he can participate in the affairs of the royal family? Hmph, kill his most valued student first, if he knows the difficulty and retreat, it will save trouble, if he insists on helping my naïve brother, then he can only kill together!"
The fourth prince's gaze swept over several mages, and then the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said to a mage wearing terrifying earrings like small snakes on his ears: "Get rid of Merlin, you can only make the seventh mage lie down hard!"
The Seventh Mage said respectfully, "Els is willing to serve His Highness!"
With that, Seventh Mage Els turned straight around and quickly disappeared from the sight of many people.
Mage Auden looked at the disappearing figure of the seventh mage Els, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "The spiritual power of Mage Els is so powerful that it can be compared to a spellcaster at the peak of the seventh level, so Merlin's dark spell will not affect Els mage no matter what!"
The fourth prince also nodded, obviously very confident in the seventh mage.
"My naïve brother, why did you fight in the first place......?
A smile appeared on the corner of the fourth prince's mouth, but his expression was full of a bone-chilling feeling!
"Buzz".
Merlin was shaken, and then countless fire elements quickly poured into his surroundings, as if a large flame had drowned Merlin.
These fire elements were all frantically absorbed by the spell model of the condensed fire that had just been successfully constructed in the sea of their knowledge, and they were quickly transformed into mana.
Even, due to the law of fire, Merlin's speed of absorbing the fire element is quite amazing, although it is not as fast as the speed of transformation with elemental crystals, but it is not much worse.
At this rate, Merlin only needs to consolidate for a day or two, and he doesn't even need to use elemental crystals to accumulate enough mana in the spell model of Condensed Fire.
Moreover, by feeling the law of fire at all times, even if Merlin is far from reaching the point of condensing the law of fire, his understanding of fire is also more profound, which is also of great benefit to him in releasing spells.
"Condensed Fire!"
Merlin waited for a while, and after accumulating enough mana to release a few spells in the spell model of Condensed Fire, he quickly released the spell.
Suddenly, a fist-sized flame quickly appeared in the void, under Merlin's control, floating smoothly, it seemed that the flame was not amazing, and the temperature was not high, but Merlin, who was observing with mental power, knew very well that the power contained in this small flame was incredible.
In particular, the color of the flame is still pale, which suggests. This is the fire of collapse. It's compressed, I don't know how many times. Once it hits the opponent's body, the damage caused is unimaginable.
The flames burned for a while, and then they were dispersed by Merlin, and although the power of the condensed fire was very strong, the mana consumed was also very amazing, and it took enough mana to be released for a long time.
Merlin observed the law of fire in the sea again, and found that since entering the royal capital. Although the Law of Flame has always been faintly suppressed by a mysterious force in the Tower of the Black Moon, it has basically not changed.
Since there was no change in the law of fire, Merlin ignored the issue of its suppression and continued to stay in the room, allowing the spell model of Condensed Fire to accumulate mana.
Five days later, a bright moon rose high in the night sky.
"Huh".
Merlin opened his eyes suddenly, and there seemed to be an aura of restlessness permeating his body, especially the fire elementals, which seemed to be constantly tumbling. Appears to be very active.
"What's going on? The law of fire is being suppressed even more intensely. ”
Merlin felt a little uneasy about the law of fire in the sea of knowledge, compared to the other day. Tonight, there were some changes in the law of fire, exuding a trace of amazing flame aura, and even making the surrounding fire elements active, which was not conducive to Merlin converting these fire elements into mana.
"Elder Snake once said that if it is a full moon night, the Tower of the Black Moon will be even more magical...... Could it be that the change in the law of fire has something to do with the Tower of the Black Moon on the night of the full moon?"
Merlin looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and finally stood up, and disappeared into the courtyard with a fluttering body.
Leaving the Hachisu's manor, Merlin wore a black mage robe, alone, and quietly walked towards the Tower of the Black Moon. The Tower of the Black Moon is a landmark of the royal capital, and it can be seen no matter where you are in the royal capital.
Merlin looked up, and the Tower of the Black Moon had indeed changed again, and the entire tower body had turned into a blood-colored light, as if it was dyed red with blood, and anyone could feel that in the tower, there seemed to be a strange magic power, which could make people unconsciously indulge in it.
"Full Moon Night......
Merlin somewhat understood what the snake elder meant, this tower of the black moon on the night of the full moon, sure enough, there was a change, very weird, the blood-colored light spread out with the tower of the black moon, shrouding most of the sky, from a distance, even the bright moon in the sky, as if it had become blood-colored.
Although the Tower of the Black Moon is very strange, the people in the royal capital seem to be commonplace, and there is actually a night market, and it is very lively, and there are countless people shuttling back and forth.
No one cared about the peculiarities of the Tower of the Black Moon, and it was a lively scene.
Merlin shuttled through the crowd and didn't attract anyone's attention, there were too many people dressed like Merlin, but most of them were spellcasters, and in the royal capital, even if it was the mountain demon clan, many people were already used to it, and they wouldn't be surprised.
Suddenly, Merlin stopped, and the closer he got to the Tower of the Black Moon, the more restless the laws of fire in the sea of knowledge became, and began to throb slightly.
In the past, no matter how much Merlin stimulated the Law of Flame, he would not let the Law of Fire have such a change, but now, the Tower of the Black Moon on the night of the full moon seems to have a mysterious force that affects the Law of Fire.
Merlin frowned, looking carefully at the Tower of the Black Moon in the distance, he did not approach the Tower of the Black Moon again, after all, the law of fire in the sea of knowledge was already a little unstable, if he got closer to the Tower of the Black Moon, no one knew what would happen to the Tower.
If there is a chance, Merlin really wants to enter the Tower of the Black Moon to have a good look, but it is impossible to think about it, there are several archmages living in the Tower of the Black Moon, and no one dares to break into the Tower of the Black Moon.
"Forget it, even if there is any power or treasure in the Tower of the Black Moon that is more powerful than the Law of Fire, I don't have a chance to get it. ”
Merlin shook his head slightly, then turned around and hurried back to the Hachiko's manor.
However, he had only taken a few steps before his whole body trembled violently, and a feeling of extreme danger welled up in his heart.
"Dangerous!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Merlin spotted an inconspicuous slender man in the crowd, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth...... (To be continued......)
