Chapter 54: Showdown
Frightened, Merlin screamed strangely, and the door to the secret room was opened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The door to the chamber was not voice-activated, and it was opened because outside Merlin's door, there was a large group of people waiting anxiously.
The door of the secret room was blown up by the 'Flame Bursting Technique' of fire-based magic, and when the door was broken, a group of old magic men rushed into the secret room in a hurry.
At the head is Alice.
"Your Highness?"
"Dean, are you alright?"
A group of people stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you.
"What can I do?" Merlin wondered.
When Alice told Merlin that the other sixteen groups of people who had entered the chamber with them, including thirty-two of them including the senior magician and the magic apprentice, had died, Merlin suddenly felt dark in front of him, a little dizzy, and almost couldn't stand still. These magicians were summoned by Emperor Nishizawa on behalf of him, and of course he had to take full responsibility for what happened.
"How is that possible!" Merlin couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that such a simple experiment would cause the Feiyang Empire to lose sixteen high-level magicians, those were all old magicians with similar strength to him, and the rank was at least at the level of the Sky Sage. Merlin hurriedly asked, "How did they die?"
From Alice's eyes, Yi Fan saw regret and remorse.
"We don't know exactly what happened......"
It was a strange situation, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Following their plan, the magician manipulates the apprentice to perform the inscription. And the screams of the apprentices are inevitable, because some of the angles of the inscriptions are really tricky, and the tendon tissue of normal people cannot do it, and must be misplaced and distorted.
But the screams of those apprentices stopped abruptly in an instant, and the atmosphere at that time was extremely strange.
Some people speculate that the apprentices may have fainted from the pain, so they have not moved.
It wasn't until blood flowed out of the cracks in the doors of the sixteen secret rooms that everyone knew that something was wrong inside.
"We opened the door to the chambers, and there was nothing left but blood. Alice didn't speak, someone next to her said it for her.
Alice vomited at the sight of that scene, she couldn't bear to think about it, and she didn't even dare to go out of the corridor outside.
"We don't know your situation here, and we didn't dare to come in for fear of disturbing you, so we kept guarding the door. ”
"Later, I heard screams inside, so I broke down the door and came in......"
It was Merlin's exclamation.
Merlin breathed a long sigh of relief before he said slowly: "In other words, except for me, none of the others have succeeded?"
Alice led a group of old men with a mechanical nod.
"No, these inscriptions aren't all that hard. ”
Merlin walked over, and he picked up an iron plate from Yi Fan's finished work. As soon as the iron plate was in his hand, Merlin knew that there was nothing wrong with the ciphertext.
"You see, I did it according to the plan that was discussed. Merlin took the iron plate and showed it to everyone.
When they saw a bunch of test plates in Merlin's hand, everyone wanted to take them but didn't dare to take them, for fear that the tragedy that happened in other secret rooms would be staged here again.
In the end, it was Alice who took the iron plate from Merlin's hand first, and the magicians dared to pass it on.
Seeing these finished products, Alice's eyes lit up.
"Dean, what's the problem?"
Judging from Merlin's ability to complete these inscriptions, the spell that 'inscriptions are exclusive to the Temple of Light' has been overcome. In other words, it is possible for them to break the monopoly of the Temple of Light.
"Not sure, maybe it's me, it could be on that kid. Merlin pointed at Yi Fan, in fact, he preferred to go to the latter in his heart. His manipulations were all discussed with the magicians, and if he succeeded once, it was luck, but this successes many times in a row......
"Your Highness, please suspend this research for the time being, and don't continue to try!" Although it is not a complete failure, not to mention the small success rate of such an inscription, the consequences of failure are so serious, it is really not suitable to continue trying. After all, the death of every mage is a great loss for the Empire.
"But ......"
Alice was a little stumped by Merlin's proposal, because she thought about it more.
In inscribed this project, the empire has invested too many resources for them, and in terms of financial resources alone, it is an astronomical amount. Moreover, all their actions were carried out under the condition of concealing the Light Temple, and this concealment would definitely not be exposed long before the Light Temple was in the general situation. At that time, if they don't have enough bargaining chips, what will they use to negotiate with the Temple of Light? I'm afraid they will only be waiting to be hanged on the gallows by the Temple of Light on charges of heretics.
"Your Highness, rest assured, with this successful inscription experience, I believe that it will not be long before I can give His Highness a satisfactory answer. Merlin glanced at everyone present, although his temper usually did not deal with anyone, but Merlin would not let them die in vain. "They've worked hard, and the next thing we can only say is the details, so let me do it. ”
"Then what is the ......" In the crowd, someone muttered, obviously this person doesn't want to give up research, after all, a hundred steps, ninety-nine steps have been completed, and the last kick is on the doorstep, who wants to give up?
But the man obviously had no confidence in speaking, obviously frightened by the blood in front of him.
"I, Merlin, swear that as long as I can find the exact cause, I will share the results of my research with everyone present!"
The magicians below hesitated, and finally Alice got up and agreed to Merlin's proposal.
"Dean, I hope you won't keep us waiting too long. ”
"It won't be long, Your Highness!" Merlin saluted Alice.
............
Merlin took Yi Fan into the carriage, which was on its way back to the Academy of Magic.
When they went back, Alice was not with them, and she seemed to have something to attend to, so she only told Merlin to go back first.
It's a pity that only sixteen high-level magicians died.
Yi Fan felt a little sorry, if it wasn't for Merlin to stop him, he estimated that it would be possible to die dozens more.
"Boy, tell me, what the hell is going on?"
In silence, Yi Fan didn't expect Merlin to talk to him.
Of course, he is a genius of the fat man, who has been practicing "Brief Score" for three years, and has achieved a little success. Otherwise, if you change to someone else, your old boy will definitely end up like those people.
Of course, Yi Fan would not tell the truth to Merlin.
"Master, you ask us?"
"Do you think there's a second person in this carriage?" Merlin glared at the fat man.
"Then we don't know, you suddenly cast a spell at that time, and we were stupid......"
"Don't be sloppy with me, you can't fool me. As soon as Yi Fan started to make up nonsense, he was kicked by Merlin. "The little guy has a very strong body, I don't know how many magic tricks I can get through. ”
Yi Fan remembered that this old guy had pondered "Psychology", and his Taoism was much deeper than his own. In his eyes, he is estimated to be the same as not wearing clothes, and he can see clearly.
Since he couldn't fool him, Yi Fan simply had a heart, and simply showdowned: "Don't say it, what can you do with me?"
