Corinder took Merlin to a lavish living room, which was not the council hall of the manor, but the courtyard where the Eighth Prince usually rested, and the Eighth Prince rarely summoned spellcasters here.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, Master Merlin has arrived!"

Master Golinder stood respectfully outside the living room and whispered into the living room.

"Master Merlin, come in. ”

The voice of the eighth prince came from inside the living room, and Master Golinder smiled on his face and welcomed Merlin into the living room outside the living room.

The light in the living room was a little dim, and Merlin didn't use his mental power to check the living room, but squinted his eyes slightly, and with a casual sweep, he saw the figure of the eighth prince sitting on the chair at the top of the living room.

And in the hand of the eighth prince, he also held a cup of liquid as red as blood, and tasted it carefully, as if he was enjoying the delicious taste of the world.

"Your Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, I don't know what you have to tell you to come to me?"

Merlin bowed slightly to the eighth prince and said slowly.

The eighth prince looked at Merlin, immediately stood up, pointed to another cup of liquid on the table, and said with a smile: "Master Merlin, come, taste it, this is the blood flame wine that the city-state of Vierson has just paid tribute to the king's majesty, tsk, it tastes really good, I finally got such a little." ”

"Bloodflame wine?"

Merlin also smelled a unique aroma of wine in his nose, and couldn't help but pick up the glass of Blood Flame Wine on the table with some curiosity.

"Xie Lu, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince. ”

After Merlin thanked the eighth prince, he was not polite and tasted it gently.

"Wow".

An icy touch spread from the tongue. The aroma of the wine then spreads in the mouth. It is indeed very mellow. But this alone naturally can't make the eighth prince so fascinated.

Just as Merlin was about to put down the wine glass, from his throat to his abdomen, there was a burning sensation immediately, and then this burning sensation quickly spread to his whole body, as if he was in a raging flame, but this burning sensation. But it's not uncomfortable, but it has a hearty feeling.

"Good wine!"

Merlin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, if it was delicious, this Blood Flame Wine was indeed very wonderful.

"Master Merlin, sit down. ”

The eighth prince smiled and sat down in his chair, shaking his glass slightly and staring at Merlin with squinted eyes.

Merlin didn't speak, looking calm. The eighth prince was the first to speak: "Master Merlin, I heard that you originally came to the city-state of Pugas from the Kingdom of Light. I wonder how much Lu Dao knows about the Church of Light?"

"Huh?"

Merlin's expression changed slightly, but when he thought of the power of the eighth prince, it was easy to find out his background, after all, in Pugas City, many people knew that Merlin and the Wilson family had moved from the Kingdom of Light.

After a long time, Merlin slowly replied: "I don't know much about the Church of Light, but after coming to the Black Moon Kingdom, the Church of Light has controlled the entire Kingdom of Light, and exterminated the Royal Family of Light, and has successively annexed several small kingdoms, forming the Holy Empire of Light. ”

The eighth prince nodded, put down the wine glass gently, his expression gradually became solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Church of Light has now replaced the Bright Royal Family and has taken control of a huge country, the Holy Empire of Light!"

"The Holy Light Empire has been quiet for a few years, but recently there has been a sudden move, placing 200,000 soldiers on the border line, and it is still increasing its troops, and there are still mages in the Church of Light. Hehe, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Divine Light Empire will launch another crusade war!"

"Crusade War!"

Merlin's heart sank slightly, as soon as he mentioned the crusade war, he had to mention the slaughterhouse war, which was almost the most brutal war, countless ordinary soldiers and spellcasters went to the slaughterhouse war one after another, but few survived.

Even a level 7 spellcaster would be very small in such a war!

When Merlin returned to Fort Wilson before, he had heard Shellis mention this matter, the Holy Light Empire and the Black Moon Kingdom had both increased their troops on the border, and the two sides seemed to be tense and the situation was very tense.

Merlin was still a little unimpressed, but now that he said it from the mouth of the eighth prince, it was naturally different, the Divine Light Empire might really be brewing a cruel crusade war.

Although Merlin was a little shocked by the news of the crusade war, he quickly regained his composure, but looked at the eighth prince suspiciously, and the other party told him the news of the crusade war, I am afraid that it was not only because he was in the Kingdom of Light.

Sure enough, the eighth prince continued: "Although the crusade war is cruel, it is not a good opportunity to regain the power of my royal family, if a crusade war really breaks out, then all the city-states must participate in the war, and I will also apply to His Majesty to go to the front line to command the battle!"

Merlin vaguely understood what the eighth prince meant, he wanted to use the opportunity of the crusade war to weaken the power of the various city-states in order to strengthen the rule of the royal family.

Even if it can't be weakened, then the eighth prince can also take advantage of this opportunity to expand his power in a big way, and when the time comes, he will have a greater advantage in the face of the competition between the ninth prince and the thirteenth prince. After all, in addition to the fourth prince, there are also the ninth prince and the thirteenth prince, who are eyeing the throne outside the royal capital, and the eighth prince naturally has to prepare early.

"Mage Merlin, if the crusade war really breaks out, I hope that Mage Merlin can help me, and I can also fulfill Mage Merlin's wish and give it to Mage Merlin after capturing Blackwater City!"

The purpose of the eighth prince is to firmly draw Merlin to his chariot, after all, Merlin's strength is now comparable to that of a sixth-level spellcaster, and there is also Master Bamu to follow, such a force may not be as important as Master Leo, but it is also very important.

In addition to Master Leo, Merlin is now the most worthy person in the hearts of the eighth prince.

"Blackwater?"

Merlin's mind was filled with the fat man Gut, Miss Kelis and the others, as well as the eager gaze of Shellis, who always wanted to return to the Kingdom of Light. It's just that there has never been a chance.

I groaned for a long time. Merlin still replied very cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." I'm very willing to help His Highness, but I will return to the Dark Spirit Realm in the future, I wonder if there is such a chance in the Dao Dao......"

The eighth prince heard the meaning of Merlin's "refusal", Merlin did not directly agree, and the eighth prince was naturally a little disappointed, but the eighth prince still said very magnanimously: "Okay, Master Merlin, I welcome you at any time!"

Merlin bowed slightly. Then he took his leave, turned and left the living room.

"Crusade War, Blackwater City, Kingdom of Light, ......"

Merlin returned to the silent courtyard and muttered in a low voice, still remembering the crusade that the Eighth Prince had just mentioned.

For the Kingdom of Light, Merlin didn't feel any nostalgia, he just wanted to return to Blackwater City again, at the beginning, the proposal of the eighth prince did make Merlin a little moved, and gave him Blackwater City.

Merlin said it when he left Blackwater. Will definitely come back to Blackwater again, now there is such an opportunity. But Merlin had to think carefully.

The crusade war is still too dangerous for Merlin now!

"It's still not strong enough, in the crusade war, the seventh-level spellcasters will all die, and they all seem small, and below the seventh-level, they are almost cannon fodder...... If you really want to go, you should at least have a strength comparable to that of a seventh-level spellcaster!"

Merlin knew very well the brutality of crusade warfare, and Wilson Sr. had personally experienced crusade warfare and survived the most brutal slaughterhouse war.

In the brutal slaughterhouse war, spellcasters below level 7 are no different from cannon fodder.

Merlin is only a third-level spellcaster now, and even if he has an increase in magical energy, he is still not comparable to a seventh-level caster, at most he has the strength of a sixth-level peak caster.

With such strength to participate in the crusade war, it is basically more auspicious and very dangerous, so although he also wanted to return to Blackwater City very much, he still had to decline the invitation of the eighth prince.

"It seems that we still have to increase our spiritual power as soon as possible, and strive to reach the point of constructing a fourth-level spell as soon as possible!"

Merlin's current strength has reached a bottleneck, in addition to becoming a fourth-level spellcaster, it is basically difficult to improve again, but building a fourth-level spell requires a greater amount of spiritual power, and his current spiritual power is far from enough.

The Mokora potion has been taken again, and now he can only prepare the Mokora potion first, but fortunately, Merlin has the full support of the eighth prince and has obtained thousands of Mokola potion materials.

With enough potion materials, all Merlin lacked was plenty of time.

Merlin then proceeded to prepare the Morkora Elixir.

Half a month later, Merlin had already prepared several sets of Mokora Elixir, and during this time, he had completely devoted his energy to the preparation of Mokora Potion, and he didn't care about outside matters.

"Master, Master Leo asked the master to come over, it seems that there is a very urgent matter. ”

From outside the house came the voice of Master Bamu.

Merlin frowned, he didn't want to be disturbed when dispensing potions, because once he was disturbed, he might not be able to accurately grasp the heat of the potions, which would lead to the failure of the potion preparation.

Now Merlin was preparing a set of Mokora Elixirs, but he was interrupted by Master Bamu, and the potion was declared a failure, and there was a faint anger in his heart.

"Squeak".

Merlin slammed open the door, stared at Master Bamu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" Isn't Mentor Leo in meditation?"

Feeling the anger faintly revealed in Merlin's tone, Bamu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "Master Leo seems to have received some information from the Dark Spirit Realm, so he asked me to come to the master. ”

"Information from the Dark Realm?"

Merlin was slightly stunned, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared, since the Dark Spirit Domain had sent a message to Master Leo, I am afraid that there is really something urgent.

So, Merlin didn't care about dispensing any more potions, and hurried to the courtyard where Master Leo lived with Master Bamu with him.
