Chapter 1: A bystander who shouldn't be a bystander

"Newcastle, why is this report so strange? Is there a mistake? "Sheldon has nothing to do, and takes little Merlin to hang out in the orc management department.

This is a true fact! Thousand! True! Ten thousand! True! Newcastle's voice was hysterical, as if it were suppressing something most horrible of things.

"But...... Nearly zero casualties and property losses, compared with the previous times, it seems insignificant, this time is equivalent to a small fight, according to the reason, from one to three, gradually strengthened. Peman spoke her guess, her hands propped up on the table, her eyes tired.

Yes, the latest mess is the work of all the administrative bodies below the central cardinal.

Merlin has been eating and living in the Dream Division for nearly half a month, and from time to time, Sheldon has to run out in the middle of the night to get rid of the nightmare urgently - most of the work of the Dream Division has stopped, so at this time, the role of the general affairs management consultant suddenly becomes high.

"But, you see, the area where they committed the crime ...... Abnormal. "Newcastle spread out a map with red circles all over it.

The area represented by the red circle is the location of the Orc Rebellion.

With the exception of the Research Department, which is located underground, the rest of the departments - the Management Division, the Inquisition Division, the Law Enforcement Division, and the Finance Division, without exception, have been attacked by the orcs.

According to the officers on duty, they just huddled together, scratched twice in front of the door, and then dispersed on their own.

"Look, isn't it a bit strange...... Newcastle worried.

"They seem to be stepping on the spot." In Merlin's mind, the shrill voice of nightmares echoed around Mรกrquez.

Marquez: "Stepping on points? โ€

Merlin: "Estimated preset before the last action. โ€

Marquez: "That's what I mean......"

Merlin: "How do you think your father would have coped?" โ€

Marquez: "He's just a member of the Dream Division, he doesn't really have any real rights. โ€

Merlin: "But for your safety, he had to be involved in this matter, and it is impossible for him to leave the Dream Division now." โ€

Marquez: "What if Sheldon can't beat them?" โ€

Merlin: "Ordinary orcs, with his strength, should have been beaten, I tell you the truth, your father can't beat it, then I'm basically fine, unless your physical fitness is transformed again, but at that time, I can't be sure that your essence is still a complete human." โ€

Marquez: "Why can't you pull them all into dreams?" Maybe that's okay. โ€

Merlin: "The structure of the dream takes a certain amount of time, and the improvised dream will collapse quickly when stimulated, although I have absorbed the magic of Barbatos, but you must know that the nightmare hotel he built is not something that can be completed in a year or two. โ€

Mรกrquez was puzzled: "A year or two years? โ€

Merlin: "At least fifty-seven years, at his level." What's more, my prototype is a rune creature, and I can't take much physical damage in a hurry, although I can dodge, but if you want to protect something, it's not a good way to resist it with magic alone, even if your body is not pure magic. โ€

Marquez: "What about filling the flesh with magic?" Wouldn't that protect ......?"

Merlin said categorically, "Your body is solid, yes, yes. But, all the same, you will become brittle, and when carrying too much pressure, your body will crack from the middle. โ€

Mรกrquez was frightened: "Hmm...... It's scary! โ€

"So, one step at a time." Nightmare said lightly, "Besides, no matter how bad it is, we still have Mohr's shield, let it go up and send it to death." Also, it's a good thing to keep your hole cards. โ€

"Do we have hole cards?" Marquez thought about it and felt that the characteristics of the nightmare were nothing special.

"If you think there is, there is, and if you think there is no, then there is not." Merlin chuckled, the sound that made the real-life Merlin roll his eyes constantly.

Sheldon's opinion was not much different from Merlin's, so he suggested that he secretly prepare manpower, just in case.

But Newcastle smiled bitterly and said that he could no longer transfer people, and the Brotherhood would not let him go......

Peyman shrugged, saying that she couldn't help it, after all, there were basically not a few people left in the Dream Division.

Up and down the Vatican, people are now panicking, and even if it is open for trading, few people dare to do it.

One of the few stores that is still open includes Olivia's Magic Materials Shop.

At this time, her shop was particularly lively, and many people wanted to buy some magic materials, and wanted to engrave the technique in advance to make their home stronger.

Olivia was enthusiastically recommending merchandise to a man who was looking at the backbone of an orc: "This guest, sage tail powder, magic crystal, plus a little orc bone powder can increase the toughness of the house materials. โ€

The man turned his head, his eyes deep and immersive.

He opened his mouth: "Where did these orc bones come from?" โ€

Olivia wondered, "You seem to be the seventh person to ask me this question today...... I have a specific source of goods, and I really don't know how I got them. โ€

"The bones of these orcs are fresh, and the blood and qi on them have not been lost." The man said to himself.

"I have absolutely high quality materials here, do you want to buy some?"

He turned his head suddenly, and the muscles in his cheeks squeezed, becoming very ugly.

"What race is this orc backbone?"

Olivia didn't know what had upset the man, but as a small businessman, she had to smile: "I really don't know about this guest, if you ask next time, I will definitely be able to answer!" โ€

Looks like we'll have to figure out the source of every magic material next time.

"I don't think I know." The man snorted coldly, and without looking back, he poked his head out of the door of the store.

"Really, there are other people who want to buy...... Take up other people's time......" Olivia muttered quietly, beckoning Xiao Er to be busy.

Next time, I'll have to take some time to strengthen my storefront......

......

In the Palazzo Bocellona, in the empty hall of government, on the throne, sat the king of the Yaris, Charles.

Wearing a diamond-encrusted gold crown, a gold-and-red robe, and a long, stiff cane in his hand, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, as if he were taking a nap.

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

There was a knock on the door of the confined government hall.

"Come in." Charlie's tone was lazy and sleepy.

"Your Majesty, this is the report of the third orc rebellion today, please check it out."

It seems to be someone from the Security Department again.

"Stand down."

Charlie beckoned, the magic lines under his eyes trembled, and the parchment in the man's hand was suddenly pulled out, leaping a distance of several meters, and fell into Charlie's hand.

Immediately, his eyes seemed to be savoring the contents of the report.

The more he looked, the more sarcastic his eyes became, and the more he looked, the more the corners of his mouth turned up.

"The sound is striking the west...... Not bad, not bad! Ha ha! โ€

Hogg's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, and he was seen to take three steps and two steps, walked up to Charlie, and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to send out the Brotherhood's men to help quell the rebellion?"

"Yes, of course." Charlie tapped his cane lightly on the ground under the throne, "But not now, it will be a little while." โ€

"Why?" Hogg looked up, his eyes filled with some confusion.

"You should know this very well, my old friend~" The corners of Charlie's mouth curled higher, "There will always be a leader in a group of stupid things, but the leader is a human being, not a stupid thing." โ€

"So, when should I call someone in?"

"At the same time as Marshall's assassination." Charlie covered his mouth and yawned, "Some people can't wait to wreak havoc and make the situation more chaotic, but I've helped him...... But well...... Ha ha! I like it! โ€

"Yes, yes......" Hogg often didn't understand Charlie's words, which was extremely natural.

Still, he just had to do it.

"Get all the men ready." Charlie said, "It's basically not a few days. โ€

"Yes."

Charlie's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked hard at his temple with his index finger, "Oh, yes, Hogg. I seem to have forgotten something! The second fusion experiment will be going to be done in a few days, so let the people of the Merlin Sect prepare. โ€

"Yes, Your Majesty Charlie."

"Giggles! Marshall...... I'm sure you'll have a memory you'll remember for the rest of your life......"

......

Now Marshall and his party had come down from the Tata River, and the wheels that were rolling rapidly on the hard ground met the soft sand, and it seemed that they had been greatly resisted, and their speed of travel suddenly slowed down.

Marshall's motorcade was dressed in new clothes, magically painted yellow, and fit perfectly with the desert.

However, that didn't stop the bandits from spotting them. The news of a new team of horses and chariots entering the Shadi area is rapidly spreading outward.
