Chapter 160: Long Time No See
On the wide avenue, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.
Inside the carriage, Merlin's eyes were closed, he had just meditated for a while, and then went to check the spell model in the sea of knowledge, it had been a few days since he left the small town of Titas.
The spell model of the Guardian Monument is not abnormal, it is still automatically absorbing the earth element, accumulating mana, and below the spell model of the Guardian Monument, there is also a spell model, which is a zero-level earth spell earth guard.
Even if the casters build a more advanced spell model, the previous low-level spells will not disappear in the sea of knowledge, so the spell model of the earth guardian in Merlin Zhihai is also slowly accumulating mana.
The mana limit of the Earth Guardian has not yet been reached, but most of the earth elements have been absorbed by the spell model of the Guardian Monument, and the more advanced spell models, the power of absorbing elements is also stronger, and only a little bit of mana can be absorbed by the low-level spell models at a time, but even so, the accumulation of mana of the Earth Guardian will reach the limit in a short time.
"How far is it from Pugas City?"
Merlin lifted the curtain and asked the coachman, who had been Shabriel's servant, but before Merlin left, Chaberly gave Merlin the carriage along with the coachman.
The coachman looked at the terrain, and then replied respectfully: "It's not far, and after three hours of walking at most, you should be able to reach the city of Pugas." ”
Merlin nodded, although he had only been away from Pugas City for only a year, he had experienced too many things, and he had grown from a rookie mage for a year to a six-line spellcaster. And also successfully built the first level 1 spell!
And all that. All after entering the Dark Spirit Realm. What happened in a year, Merlin now looks back on it and feels a little incredible.
Immediately, Merlin closed his eyes and continued to meditate on his mental power.
......
After two hours, Merlin suddenly opened his eyes, and his face showed a trace of coldness, his spiritual power. It even extended directly out of the carriage and extended towards the jungle on both sides of the road.
"Whoosh".
Clusters of fireballs appeared out of thin air, and quickly flew into the jungle on both sides of the road under the traction of Merlin's spiritual power.
"Captain, there's a carriage ahead. ”
In the jungle next to the road, a man in bright armor said softly.
"Captain" nodded and said, "Continue to follow, don't startle the snake, now we have the order." It's the people who enter and leave Pugas City to be strictly monitored, no matter who they are. Can't let it go. ”
"Yes, Captain!"
The armored man was just about to turn around and leave, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face, and then he asked the captain in a low voice: "Captain, will our Lebis city-state fight with the city-state of Pugas this time?"
The "captain's" face changed slightly, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he said in a cold tone: "Is this what you should ask?
The armored man nodded hurriedly, but just as he turned around, suddenly, several scorching fireballs suddenly appeared in the distance, and quickly flew towards the jungle.
The "captain's" face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "It's not good, it's the spellcaster, run away!"
After that, a cold aura erupted from the "captain's body", obviously a third-level elemental swordsman, but those fist-sized fireballs exploded violently after flying into the jungle.
"Boom".
More than a dozen fireballs, the force of the explosion was terrifying, and several elemental swordsmen hiding in the jungle were instantly drowned in the raging flames......
Inside the carriage, Merlin's expression was calm, even the coachman outside did not look surprised, as early as when he was in the small town of Titas, Shabury had mentioned to him that the person he was going to follow this time was a mysterious and powerful spellcaster.
"Hurry up and get back to Pugas as soon as possible!"
Merlin looked at the jungle on both sides of the carriage, his brow furrowed, he didn't know what was going on in Pugas City, there were so many elemental swordsmen watching the people entering and leaving Pugas City.
The speed of the carriage began to pick up speed, and Merlin, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little bumpy, but he was now more concerned about what was going on in Pugas City.
Although it was only a short hour's journey, Merlin had already found several groups of sneaky elemental swordsmen hiding in the dense forest along the way.
For these elemental swordsmen, Merlin did not have a trace of softness, and directly released the fireball technique to kill, Pugas City is where the Wilson family is located, Merlin does not allow anyone, threatening the Wilson family.
"Lord Merlin, Pugas City has arrived!"
Suddenly, the coachman's voice came into the carriage, and Merlin woke up, hurriedly lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw the familiar city of Pugas.
"It's been a year, it's been a whole year......"
When Merlin left, he thought that he would not be able to return until ten or eight years later, and even if he entered the Dark Spirit Realm, he only thought that he would have to wait at least three years before he could return to Pugas City.
Unexpectedly, something happened in the Dark Spirit Domain, and a year later he returned to Pugas City.
After sighing for a while, Merlin also found that the vigilance of Pugas City seemed to be much higher now, and his spiritual power extended to the city wall, and found that it was densely packed, all of them were heavy crossbowmen, and in the city, there seemed to be some heavily armored knights.
This is a big change from the peaceful and quiet city of Pugas when Merlin left. Thinking of some elemental swordsmen hidden on both sides of the road outside Pugas City, Merlin faintly felt that something serious must have happened in Pugas City, otherwise he would not be so nervous.
"Let's go inside. ”
Merlin lowered the curtain and said to the coachman outside that he could only find out what was going on in the city of Pugas.
The carriage slowly came to the city gate, but was stopped by the guards at the city gate.
"Slow, now the city of Pugas is under martial law, and you can't enter without an order from the city lord!"
While the coachman was in a dilemma, Merlin had already handed out a golden sign from the carriage. Said lightly: "I am the baron personally appointed by Earl Serin. Can't you go in too?"
As soon as these guards saw the name on the token. His face immediately changed greatly, and he said respectfully: "It turned out to be Baron Merlin, although Pugas City is under martial law, and no one can easily enter, but if the city lord knows that Lu Dao is a baron, he will definitely let the baron enter, baron, please come in." ”
Merlin lifted the curtain and looked at the guard in surprise. With a puzzled look on his face, he said, "You know me?"
The guard hurriedly said, "When I was in the castle lord's castle, I served as a guard, and I once met the baron. ”
"Oh. ”
Merlin nodded, there were many guards in Earl Serin's castle, and he naturally didn't remember this little guard, so he lowered the curtain and said to the coachman, "Let's go." ”
The carriage slowly left the city gate and entered the city.
Wait until the carriage leaves, some guards at the city gates. Then he asked with a look of doubt: "The city lord did not give an order, even if the nobles want to enter the city. Do you have to get his consent, too? Why did you let them in without permission?"
Obviously, Merlin's carriage had just been brought into the city, and it was just this guard who was making an assertion.
However, the guard took a deep look at Merlin's carriage, and then sneered: "Hmph, what do you know? This is not an ordinary baron, it is the mage who helped the Earl in the first place! Now that the Baron Merlin is back, I believe that the Earl will be very happy, you are here to guard, and I will immediately go and report the news to the Earl." ”
With that, the guard left the city gate and walked quickly towards the Earl's Castle.
The carriage drove slowly down the street, and the people on the street were in a hurry, looking very anxious, with a hint of anxiety in their expressions, and there were no more small merchants selling goods on the street.
The entire city of Pugas seemed to become deserted all of a sudden, in sharp contrast to the prosperity before Merlin left.
"Turn left and keep going until you see a castle and stop. ”
The coachman did not know the exact location of the old castle of Wilson, so Merlin pointed him in the right direction.
It wasn't long before the carriage came to a halt in front of a huge castle in the direction Merlin had pointed.
"Lord Merlin, it's here!"
The coachman turned his head and said respectfully to the carriage.
The curtain of the car was quickly lifted, and a wide black robe shrouded Merlin's whole person, which looked extremely strange, but this dress was a very common dress in the dark spirit realm.
"Here we are, Castle Wilzon!"
Merlin raised his head and looked at the castle in front of him, and the mood that had been a little uneasy before had become calmer now.
Outside the castle gate, there are two children about one year old, who are toddlers, waving their little hands, running around outside the castle gate.
Behind the child, several maids followed cautiously, for fear that the child would fall to the ground.
Seeing these two children, Merlin's heart moved, and then he looked eagerly at the two children not far away, and muttered in a low voice: "Celia, Consien, yes, it must be them!"
Merlin remembered that they had just been born after leaving the city of Pugas, and they were almost a year old now, and this was Merlin's child, with his blood flowing in his body!
Thinking of Celia and Consien, Merlin quickly walked towards the two children.
The maids also seemed to have spotted Merlin, and hurriedly grabbed the two children and hurried towards the castle, while Merlin's pace quickened.
"Whoosh".
Suddenly, a young knight rushed out of the castle, blocked in front of Merlin, held a big sword, and said in a cold tone: "Stop, this is Baron Merlin's castle!"
Merlin was slightly stunned, but then as if he remembered something, he stopped, and gradually uncovered the wide black robe on his head, revealing a young face.
"Agurts, long time no see!"
Merlin looked at the burly knight in front of him, a smile on his lips. (To be continued......)
