Merlin first explained briefly to old Wilson, and when old Wilson heard that Merlin was going to the royal capital, he didn't ask carefully, but just told Merlin to pay attention to safety in the royal capital.

Later, Merlin went to see Shellis and Avril, who had just been pregnant for more than a month and had no bulging bellies, but they were usually very attentive and wore loose clothes.

Unlike old Wilson, Avril was very upset when she heard that Merlin was leaving the castle again, pouting and not speaking. And Shellis was also silent, maybe Merlin wouldn't be able to see the child in their womb born.

In this regard, Merlin was also very helpless, and could only repeatedly promise to return to Vilson Castle in a few months.

After comforting Avril and Shirlith, Merlin summoned Master Bamu into the room alone and explained the matter to him carefully.

"Bamu, you don't have to go to the royal capital with me this time, you will sit in the Wilson Castle, and anyone who dares to threaten the Wilson family will be killed!"

A trace of coldness flashed in Merlin's eyes, and while Master Bamu was happy, he couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart, it seems that Merlin takes the Wilson family very seriously, and must ensure that the Wilson family does not have an accident.

"Master, rest assured, with me, the Wilson family will be fine. ”

Master Bamu also has absolute confidence in his strength.

"However, master, Filinda's comprehension of runes is very good, and with my superficial understanding of runes, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can impart more knowledge of runes to her. ”

Master Bamu looked a little sad, a dignified seventh-level spellcaster, he couldn't teach a Filinda who wasn't even an entry-level spellcaster.

But runics, pharmacy, alchemy. It's all comparable to spell builds. If the caster has not studied it carefully. It is also incomprehensible at all.

Merlin didn't think of this problem, runes were very obscure and profound after all, and Master Bamu alone couldn't teach Filinda more knowledge.

It seems that he can only exchange some systematic knowledge of runes from the Dark Spirit Realm and give it to Filinda to comprehend by herself, which is far better than Master Bamu's teaching.

Thinking of exchanging the knowledge of runes, Merlin thought of the children with spellcaster qualifications that the black-robed old man had found. In order to ensure that they do not betray the Wilsons, they need to be bound by contract paper. You'll still have to exchange some contract paper from the Dark Realm.

"I will take this matter to heart, after returning from the royal capital this time, I will go back to the Dark Spirit Realm to exchange some knowledge of runes. ”

Master Bamu nodded.

Merlin thought about it carefully, there was nothing more to explain, there was Master Bamu sitting in Wilson Castle, he was also very relieved, so he went directly to the snake elder's house.

"Master Merlin, have you arranged everything?"

Elder Snake is ready. He was followed by two ugly mages, as well as Mages Hasber and Mages Sacra, sent by the Hachioji. A group of five people were waiting for Merlin.

Seeing that the snake elder was ready, Merlin also nodded and said, "It's all arranged, let's go now." ”

So, a group of six people got into three carriages and slowly left the city of Pugas.

In the silence of the night, there was only the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning.

The summer evenings were very cool, and in a large rocky field, several spellcasters were lying on the ground casually, enjoying this hard-won moment of peace.

"Snake Old, how far is it from the royal capital now?"

Merlin, who was leaning on a boulder, asked with a slight squint, he had been on the road with Snake Lao and others for ten days in a row, but now it seemed that he was still far away from the royal capital.

The snake elder gently stirred a few dry firewood in the bonfire, and said slowly: "There are probably ten days to go, the royal capital is too far away from Pugas City, even if you rush day and night, it will take a long time. ”

In the past ten days, Merlin, Snake Lao and the others have been on the road day and night, and today can be regarded as a little rest for a night, and they will have to continue to rush tomorrow.

Merlin glanced at Master Haysber and Master Sacra, both of whom were silent along the way, not saying a word, only the snake elder occasionally answered Merlin's questions, and was also very silent.

However, Merlin wanted to know more about the situation of the eighth prince, so he could only knock on the side.

"Snake Lao, there are many princes of the royal family, right?"

The snake elder glanced at Merlin, and the firelight was reflected on the snake elder's face, especially the cyan scale armor on his neck, which made the snake elder look a little hideous.

However, the snake elder still replied: "Although there are many princes in the royal family, there are only a few princes who can compete for the throne, and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is one of the most competitive princes!"

Merlin has learned in the past few days that the royal family of the Black Moon Kingdom, only the children of the royal family who have the qualifications of a spellcaster are eligible to inherit the throne.

And if you become a king, you can only be a king for a maximum of thirty years, and then you must abdicate, and the elders of the royal family will choose the best from many princes to become the new king.

The purpose of this is to keep power from corruption, and the king will not become invincible because of the concentration of power and resources.

You must know that the king of the Black Moon Kingdom is a powerful spellcaster in his own right, and with infinite resources and power, he is even more powerful, if he is not controlled and restrained, even a powerful spellcaster may lose himself and indulge in great power, which will lead to the decline of the entire kingdom.

Therefore, there is a rule that the throne is changed every thirty years.

As for the selection of the best princes from among the many princes, there is no fixed standard for excellence, but most of them are those princes who are strong in their own right and have huge power in their hands, and will eventually inherit the throne.

And the eighth prince is obviously competing for the throne, because it is less than five years before the current king abdicates, it is no wonder that all the princes are developing their power frantically, and the eighth prince even has the mountain snake people under his command.

"Which princes are the most threatening competitors of the eighth prince now?"

Merlin simply asked directly, he knew that the eighth prince must also have other princes who were very threatening, otherwise it would be impossible to attach so much importance to Mage Leo and be so anxious to win over Mage Leo.

Even Merlin guessed that the eighth prince's current situation was not very good, and by his side, there must not be a spellcaster who could suppress everything and turn the tide! The eighth prince faintly hoped that Mage Leo could become a powerful spellcaster by his side, who could turn the tide and suppress everything!

The snake elder pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "These questions, Master Merlin will naturally know when he arrives in the royal capital, so there is nothing to hide. At present, there are only three princes who pose the greatest threat to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, namely the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince. ”

Merlin secretly kept all this information in his heart, and after going to the royal capital, maybe this information would be of great use.

"Whew......".

A cool breeze blew, blowing the bonfire away, and some weeds on the ground made a "rustling" sound.

"Who?"

In the silence of the night, there was a sudden sound of scolding, it was the voice of the two of the snake elder's subordinates, the two ugly mages, who had been hiding in a hidden place tonight, on guard at all times.

Hearing the voice of the ugly mage, the snake elder and the others immediately became vigilant, and Merlin also squinted his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power radiated silently.

"Bang bang".

There were two muffled sounds, and then two corpses fell heavily in front of Merlin and the others, and they were the two ugly subordinates of the snake elder.

The expressions on the faces of these two ugly mages were extremely surprised, but the way to die on their bodies was very simple, they were actually shattered by pure force, and they were not injured by spells.

Merlin and the others immediately became vigilant, the two ugly mages were not very powerful spellcasters, at best they were only third-level mages, but they were silently killed, and it was really unbelievable that they could be killed with their powerful strength.

"Be careful, I don't know who Lu Dao is. ”

The snake elder immediately shouted loudly, reminding Merlin and the others, so the four of them immediately formed a circle, looking around vigilantly, and their spiritual power was shrouded all around at all times, and no movement could escape the induction of a few people.

"Rustle. ”

Another breeze blew, swaying the branches and leaves of the trees with a soft sound.

At this moment, Merlin's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming!"

"Whoosh".

As soon as Merlin's words fell, four figures suddenly burst out of the dark night, these four figures were three men and one woman, the three men were tall, with cold expressions, and wore a gray mage robe.

And the woman looked very strange, she looked very immature, just like a little girl of eleven or twelve, her figure was also very petite, and she was wearing a big red tight-fitting leather coat, which looked very delicate and cute, and was very cute.

However, Merlin felt a strong aura of danger from this cute little girl who had been smiling, especially the indifference that occasionally flashed in her eyes, which made Merlin very vigilant.

"Giggles, it's not easy to find you, finally found you!"

In the hand of the cute little girl, there was a huge hammer that did not match her size, which looked extremely funny, looking at this hammer, Merlin glanced at the slightly sunken chests of the two ugly mages on the ground, and his heart instantly became clear.

"You killed them?"

Merlin asked in a calm tone, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Huh".

The little girl's gaze instantly turned to Merlin.

"Giggles, I killed them, the two of them are too unbeaten, they will die if they touch it, it's boring!"

The little girl looked innocent, pursed her lips, tilted her head and looked at Merlin, if it weren't for the fact that there were two corpses on the ground, no one would believe that this cute little girl in front of her would be so cruel and dangerous. (To be continued......)
