Chapter 173: Floating City
"Agurts?"
Merlin's gaze was on Agurts, the young face that was now no longer immature, but replaced by a hint of maturity and stability.
Merlin still remembers that the young Agurts swore to protect him, and Merlin also remembered that when facing the powerful thieves, Agurts did not hesitate to stand in front of him.
"Agurts, honest and courageous, my father taught him the poses on the reliefs, and I have no objection. ”
Merlin was also very satisfied with Agurts, the young knight's original dream was to join the old Wilson's heavy knight.
However, with the current strength of Agurts, let alone a heavy knight, even if he becomes a commander, it is nothing.
Old Wilson shook his head, and said with a smile on his face: "I didn't ask you how Agurts is a person? Agurts was cultivated by me, and I can't know him better." I'm asking you, how are Agurts and Mei Xue?"
"Agurts and Plum Snow?"
Merlin had a strange look on his face, he had been back in Pugas City for a few days, but he had never been able to see Mei Xue, and I heard old Wilson mention that Mei Xue was currently in Consien Territory, helping Old Wilson manage the entire territory. Now Mei Xue has become the right-hand man of old Wilson.
It's just that Merlin couldn't have imagined that old Wilson actually wanted to match Agurts and Mei Xue.
"What? do you think it's wrong?"
Old Wilson frowned and asked in a low voice.
Merlin shook his head and hurriedly said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just felt surprised. ”
"Ha Lu Ha. Don't say you're surprised. Even when I first heard Agurts express his admiration for Mei Xue, I was very surprised, the gap between Agurts Mune's character and Mei Xue's generous and lively personality is too big. But maybe it's fate, as long as the two of them think it's okay. ”
Old Wilson laughed loudly, too, and it was clear that he was quite satisfied with Agurts as well.
After laughing, old Wilson also seemed to remember something, and said to Merlin: "Merlin." Did you come to me today for something?"
Seeing that old Wilson was asking, Merlin explained simply: "Father, I may leave Pugas City for a while, and go to a place with Mage Hill. ”
"Are you leaving?"
Old Wilson had a clear look of disappointment on his face, but he quickly recovered to his original state, knowing that Merlin was now a mysterious and powerful spellcaster, and that he was already in two different worlds.
"Okay. But about half a year later, Agurts and Mei Xue will get married. You're a brother, but you must come back. ”
Old Wilson said solemnly.
Merlin pondered for a while, the Floating City is not too far, as long as he doesn't delay too long in the Floating City, he should be able to rush back within half a year.
Thinking of this, Merlin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back in half a year." ”
Merlin then turned away, while Wilson Sr. continued to teach Agurts and others the mysterious relief poses.
The night was as cold as water, but Merlin and Shellis and Avril did not feel the slightest sleepiness, after several days of continuous soaking in the active potions, the skin of Sheris and Avril became delicate and smooth, and the two of them looked more bright and moving.
After the passion just now, the three of them looked a little tired, but none of them fell asleep, but quietly enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
"Are you really leaving again?"
Shellis asked suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.
"yes, I'll leave tomorrow. ”
After Merlin finished speaking, the atmosphere became silent, in fact, after returning home this time, Merlin gradually found that he had a sense of alienation from Shirleys, Avril Lavril and even old Wilson.
This is because Merlin and Old Wilson, Shirley and others are already in a different world, and even many things, Merlin can't explain clearly to Old Wilson and others.
This is the estrangement, and it is a huge estrangement!
After a long time, Shellis said leisurely, "Merlin, I seem to feel more and more that I am far away from you, even if you are by my side now. ”
Merlin didn't say anything more, and for a moment the whole room fell into dead silence.
The next day, Merlin quietly left the castle of Wilson, and he went straight to the residence of the old man in the black robe, who had already prepared it, and even hired a carriage to wait for him.
"How's it going, it's all arranged?"
The black-robed old man's face showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"It's all arranged, let's go. ”
Merlin also got into the carriage and said calmly.
The black-robed old man took a deep look at Merlin, and said with a long sigh of feeling: "Master Merlin, the time with family should be cherished a lot, we spellcasters are destined to be lonely." It won't be too long to have a warm day with family now......"
Ordinary first-level spellcasters, many can live to be two hundred years old, even if they are few, they can live to be more than a hundred years old, while ordinary people, basically sixty or seventy, can be regarded as a high lifespan.
Therefore, spellcasters and ordinary people are always two types of people, and when the relatives they were familiar with at the beginning grow old or die one by one, the casters can only endure long lonely years.
Merlin looked at the black-robed old man, perhaps, in the black-robed old man's body, there was also a period of nostalgia and regret......
On the rugged mountain road, the carriage was moving slowly, and every now and then the carriage would jolt.
Although the mountain road was very rough, the carriage was still moving towards the misty mountain peak in front of it, and in this deserted place, I don't know who was sitting in this carriage.
Finally, the carriage came to a slow stop, and out of the carriage came two men in black robes, one of whom was a little older, and talked softly to the coachman, and then the coachman drove the carriage slowly down the mountain.
"Mage Ciel, this is the Floating City?"
Merlin asked with a strange expression, these two black-robed men are Merlin and Hill mages who came here all the way from Pugas City.
Halfway up the mountain, there is almost no road ahead, and if you go up further, there is a dense forest shrouded in clouds and mist, and Merlin can't tell that this is the floating city.
The black-robed old man glanced up at the dense forest shrouded in clouds and mist on the mountain, and a smile appeared between the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, this is it, let's go, go up a little more, and you will be able to see the floating city." ”
With that, the black-robed old man raised his feet and walked into the clouds.
Merlin hesitated for a moment, but finally followed behind the black-robed old man.
In the thick fog, Merlin felt that his vision had been seriously affected, and he could only see a general outline of the black-robed old man in front of him, and the fog also penetrated into the wide black-robed robe, which was very moist and had a cold feeling.
"Click".
Suddenly, Merlin made a move of his hand and released the freezing technique towards a place in front of him, and suddenly, a thick cloud of ice crystals immediately formed.
Merlin frowned, took a closer look, and found that what was frozen was a patterned spider, about the size of a palm, which was highly poisonous at first glance, and looked very terrifying.
"Mage Hill, there are a lot of poisonous insects and beasts here!"
After Merlin finished speaking, he raised his hand and released a fireball, which suddenly exploded, killing several beetles the size of thumbs that "buzzed".
Merlin and the black-robed old man had just entered the dense forest for a while, and they had already encountered many poisonous insects one after another, many of which were violently poisonous, and once they were bitten, they would die in a short time.
That is, the caster, who has spiritual power, can observe every movement around him at any time, which can ensure his own safety, otherwise, even those powerful elemental swordsmen, if they are not noticed, I am afraid that they will be bitten by poisonous insects.
"Mage Ciel, is this really a floating city?"
Merlin couldn't help but ask again.
The black-robed old man suddenly stopped, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "Okay, we have arrived!"
"Arrived?"
Merlin raised his head at this time, and there was still a cloud in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly, but when Merlin checked it with his mental power, he found that in the clouds, there was really a hazy city, as if floating in the clouds, presumably this was a floating city.
The black-robed old man glanced at Merlin, and then explained with a smile: "The Floating City is not really floating in the air, but it is only built on the top of the mountain and shrouded in clouds and mist, so it is named the Floating City. Moreover, these clouds and mist were actually created by a huge rune array, and even if ordinary people entered the mountain, they would not be able to discover the Floating City without strong spiritual power. ”
Merlin nodded, some spellcasters, mingling among ordinary people, while some spellcasters, away from the crowd. This floating city is obviously far away from the crowd and doesn't want to be discovered by ordinary people, so it was built in such a peculiar place.
"Let's go, if you want to enter the Floating City, you only need to use your spiritual power to activate these stone sculptures!"
The black-robed old man pointed to several huge stone carvings on the ground in the clouds and mist, these stone carvings seemed to be carved with the appearance of some spellcasters, and on the stone carvings, there were also various colored gems, and there were very mysterious runes on the stone carvings.
Merlin and the black-robed old man stepped forward, and quickly extended into the two stone carvings with their spiritual power, and suddenly, the stone carvings seemed to come to life, and the mysterious runes on them began to flicker with bursts of light, and even the various colored gems on the stone carvings also flashed with all kinds of beautiful light.
"Whoosh".
Two rays of light flashed, and the figures of Merlin and the black-robed old man were wrapped in runes and disappeared completely...... (To be continued......)
