Perverse, moody, good and evil.

Speaking of the legendary "Byzantine shame" and "the most terrible man in the world", this evaluation is undoubtedly the most accurate.

Merlin, she may not be the strongest person in the world today, but if she is the strongest woman - I am afraid that no one will object.

Her name was Merlin, but no one had ever heard of her full name.

No one knows how old she really is, but when she first made a splash, Mr. Raphael, who is now the president of the Byzantine Magic Guild and is in his eighties, was still a small magic apprentice.

No one knows what Merlin's true face is like.

Legend has it that she has attained eternal green chūn, so she has the skill to retain her appearance when she was twenty years old, and it is said that she is so beautiful that even the moon goddess would be jealous of her.

There is also a legend that she is simply an evil and vicious old woman, old and long-looking, wearing a black cloak, full of goosebumps, hooked nose and teeth, holding a poisonous apple in her hand, tempting to taste everywhere.

She is not a Byzantine, but she has the qualifications of a Magister recognized by the Byzantine Church's Magical Guild - but she is a Landis at all, and she is a Witch recognized by the Landis Church.

Speaking of the story of the legendary character Merlin, there are four that are the most sensational in the mainland.

The first thing is that many, many years ago, Merlin was already a famous top witch in the Kingdom of Landis, she was eccentric, acted according to her preferences, and sometimes even deliberately went against the Lantis royal family and zhèngfǔ. Legend has it that the royal family of Lantis kept a priceless treasure called the 'Crown of Kings', which was passed down by His Majesty Arthur, the founding king of Lantis, as a symbol of royal power in the royal legacy.

And many years ago, this Merlin actually swaggered into the palace of Lantis, and asked for this crown in front of King Lantis, because this crown is inlaid with a rare huge diamond, which is said to be the largest in the world today. Merlin claims that he needs to borrow the diamond for an important magical experiment. Although King Landis refused in his heart, the famous palace guards could not resist the witch at all, and the so-called court masters were as helpless as children in front of this strong man. In the end, the king had to succumb to Merlin's strong rope, took out the "crown of kings" inherited by the royal family, and "lent" it to Merlin. Merlin dug up the largest diamond in the crown on the spot and "borrowed" it, and never returned it since.

So, to this day, the largest jewel is missing from the legendary and most expensive crown of the Lantis royal family, and the royal family has to find skilled craftsmen to create a coat of arms out of gold and other precious stones, which is set in the notch to conceal it.

As a Lantithian, he bullied the royal family so much, and for a time, Merlin was notorious in the Landis Kingdom. However, this perverse legend naturally doesn't care about the opinions of others, but she "borrowed" the diamond, perhaps promising the royal family a condition: once the country has trouble, she can unconditionally contribute to the royal family once.

So, the second thing happened.

The second of Merlin's most legendary tales takes place about six years after the time of the crown.

The second thing is this: the Byzantine Empire has always been the largest of the three great powers in the world today, it occupies the richest land on the continent, has the largest population, has the most resources, and has the most prosperous civilization. But this behemoth was rigidly restrained by two other countries, Odin and Lantiysk.

Odin lived in the north of the continent and was brave and good at war, while the Lantis were far away, far away from the continental war, and took advantage of their unique geographical location to conduct maritime trade, and used maritime trade to enrich and strengthen the country. One of the things that the Landis are most proud of is their large and powerful navy. The Landis were far ahead of the nations on both continents in shipbuilding and seafaring technology.

And there is a very important factor: the Byzantine Empire is located in the south of the continent, and there is an inland sea in the center of the empire, and this inland sea goes all the way to the west, through a narrow mouth to the sea, and can lead directly to the vast outer ocean.

The geographical location of the outlet to the sea is special, it is two narrow peninsulas extending to the sea in the north and south, just like a pincer to choke the mouth of the Byzantine Inland Sea, and the two sides of this outlet have been occupied by the Landis for many years, the Landis people have established a military port on both sides of the sea outlet to station troops, firmly hold here, it is equivalent to controlling the Byzantine sea to the outward transportation line, for many years, the Byzantine maritime trade has been suppressed by Landis, in peacetime, all Byzantine sea ships in and out of this sea outlet have to pay taxes to the Landis, and once the two countries have friction or discordAs long as the Landis put an outlet to the sea, then the Byzantine sea trade routes would be strangled immediately.

What's more, this inland sea has always been able to lead to the most prosperous and rich areas in the inner belly of the Byzantine Empire, and even the capital Osgilia is on the coast of the inland sea!

As the continent's largest power, the Byzantines had been trying to subjugate the sea for years. However, the two peninsulas at the mouth of the sea have a special topography, and the peninsula is bordered by two mountains on the mainland, and if you attack from the land, you will have to climb over the mountains and mountains, and it is very difficult, and if you want to subdue the sea mouth, you must attack both by sea and land at the same time in order to achieve practical results. The navy of the Korantis was too strong, and the Byzantine navy was far inferior in shipbuilding technology and seafaring warfare technology, and the naval competition was never an opponent. However, the attack on land alone, the opponent's role as a military port, and the warships on the sea to respond to it, could not be attacked at all. Therefore, the Byzantine Empire has used many methods for many years, but it has not been able to achieve its wishes.

Finally, for another year, the Byzantine Empire seized an opportunity. The intelligence services of the empire did not know how to use to rebel against the admiral of the fleet stationed at the mouth of the sea by Landis, and the admiral of Lantis led to Byzantium with a fleet of treason, and the Byzantins seized this opportunity and sent two corps on land to attack the two peninsulas at the mouth of the sea in two ways.

Having lost the fleet at sea, access to the sea was once in crisis. At this time, even if Landis wanted to temporarily send a fleet from the country to support, it would take time for the naval fleet to assemble, and it would be too late for a while.

At the critical moment, the Lantis royal family remembered that the witch had promised to serve the royal family once, and sent someone to ask to see Merlin. Although this Merlin is perverse, he is a trustworthy person, and he simply responded.

Immediately, three days later, when the Byzantine naval fleet and land troops attacked the port of Lantis, the Merlin witch appeared at sea!

At that time, the general who led the Byzantine army received a letter from the witch, and the tone of the letter was still very calm, but the Byzantine general was asked to withdraw his troops immediately, and Lantis was not to blame.

At that time, when the long-cherished wish of many years was about to be fulfilled, it was the time of the eagerness of the eyes, how could the Byzantines be willing to withdraw their troops? As a result, the general directly tore up the letter and ordered an attack.

In the attack on the sea, this witch appeared on the sea at the mouth of the sea, and alone blocked more than 40 Byzantine warships! Legend has it that this witch used the magic of the gods to directly gather seawater on the sea and set up a wall of water that was several miles long and more than 10 meters high! Just across the sea, blocking the direction of the Byzantine navy's advance! At this time, the witch directly used magic to transmit her voice to the sea, and this time she still only coldly demanded that the Byzantine troops withdraw immediately.

"Spare only once, kill if you don't leave!"

The Byzantine generals still refused to retreat, and instead brought in several Byzantine magicians who accompanied the army to meet them.

The result...... Naturally, there is no need to elaborate.

Several magicians were defeated in front of the witch in an instant, and fled in a hurry, and Merlin, who was provoked, directly caused a tsunami, which was several miles long, more than ten meters high The sea wall directly poured and collapsed, and immediately the Byzantine fleet was beaten to pieces, ninety percent of the warships sank in the sea, half of the soldiers were buried in the belly of the fish, and finally only four ships escaped back, one of which was the flagship, but after escaping back, it was found that a person died in the flagship!

It was the commander of the original Lantis' fleet who was rebelled by the Byzantines, who died mysteriously without a trace of wounds on his body.

The name of Merlin Witch was originally only prominent in Landis, but after that war, with one person destroying the fleet of a country, Merlin's name suddenly spread all over the continent and became recognized as a top powerhouse!!

And the third thing is the greatest shame of the Byzantine Empire's Magic Guild!

Just three years have passed since the naval battle, and this witch actually came to the Byzantine Empire alone, entered Osgilia, and came directly to the Imperial Magic Guild!!

This time, the arrival of this witch immediately caused a shock in dìdū, such a top powerhouse in the continent, everyone recognized that her strength had reached the holy level, and she came from a hostile country, for a while, even the then emperor dìdū left dìdū under the pretense of "hunting", lest this guy go crazy and make trouble in dìdū will endanger his own safety.

However, the witch only quietly visited the Imperial Magic Guild and proposed that she wanted to exchange magic ideas with the Byzantine magicians. At the same time, she wanted to learn about Byzantine magical culture, and even made a strange request: she wanted to be given the title of Byzantine Magister.

This request has made it difficult for the Wizards Guild, which has long been recognized as being equivalent to the Holy Rank. But the level that the magic union can assess is only level nine, and it can't be assessed above level nine. The Merlin witch's request made the Magic Guild directly reject Merlin's request.

This Merlin was arrogant enough, so he proposed to have a contest with the Magic Guild, and if she won, she must be allowed to stay in the Magic Guild to learn the Byzantine magical civilization, and if she loses, she will be willing to be imprisoned by the Magic Guild for three years!

At that time, the whole empire was anxious about the naval battle three years ago by this witch, and now the opportunity is sent to the door, the other party is alone, and the Byzantine Magic Guild is also quite proud, thinking that there are countless masters here, really trying, is it possible that so many top magicians can't compare to the other party alone? Even though she is a saint-level powerhouse...... She is not the only saint in the world!

The Magic Guild is gearing up here, so Merlin waited for three days, this Merlin is also bold, in the enemy country, knowing that the other party wants to eat flesh and sleep on him, but he actually sat on the ground in the square in the Magic Guild, just sat there with his eyes closed and meditated, and sat for three days and three nights.

In three days, the Magic Guild used all its connections and skills, and finally invited three wizards from the Byzantine Empire to help.

At that time, the idea of the Byzantine Magic Guild was: No matter how strong you Merlin is, if you can enter the holy level, you are usually only exceptionally strong in a certain field, where can you get to the door? Three Magisters with different fields of expertise can definitely stump this witch.

In the first game, the Byzantine Magister who competed with Merlin was the best at magic arrays, and Merlin just sneered at the time: "Then you and I will each make a magic array, and walk into each other's formations, whoever comes out first will win." ”

The Byzantines were in their lair, and immediately brought out tons of high-grade magic crystals and various magic gems and Mithril, and arranged the magic array for the magic master at any cost, and spent three days and three nights to build an impermeable black room, and the magic array was in it.

And Merlin here, he took out some of the magic materials he carried with him from the storage ring he carried with him on the spot, which was naturally far less abundant than the reserves of the Magic Guild. And she didn't hide it, just above the square, in front of everyone, she arranged a formation, but the witchcraft she used, many of the ** masters in the Byzantine Magic Guild who were watching from the sidelines, but none of them could understand it.

Three days later, the formation was completed, and the two walked into each other's formation. Merlin walked into the small black room, and immediately fell into the formation - the Byzantine Magic Guild hated her deeply, the magic array was extremely dangerous, and outsiders did not know what kind of dangerous spell it was, but after Merlin entered, he walked out of the dark room intact after a meal, and there was not even an extra wrinkle on his clothes!

Merlin looked around at each other and said with a sneer, "So you want to kill me." ”

And the Byzantine Magister who entered the open-air magic array arranged by Merlin in the square disappeared in front of everyone's eyes after entering the formation in front of everyone's eyes!

After Merlin came out of the opponent's formation, the Byzantine Magister was nowhere to be seen! When it was dark, the Byzantines saw that their own mage was still nowhere to be seen, and they immediately became anxious.

For any country, a Magus is a priceless treasure that cannot afford to lose!

In the end, the Byzantine side had to admit defeat, and even though the results of the first competition had been decided, Merlin clapped his hands and walked to his magic array to untie the formation. The Byzantine Magister immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but it is said that the Magister went in with a neat beard and a light clothes, but when he came out, his beard was already old, his face was covered with grease, and his face was yellow and hungry. As soon as everyone asked, they knew that as soon as he entered the magic array, he immediately fell into a huge labyrinth, and there were no dangerous traps in that labyrinth, just endless forks in the road.

It was only half a day, but the Magister claimed that he had been trapped in that labyrinth formation for ten days!!......! The magister was not in any danger, but he was almost starved to death.

At that time, the people of the Magic Guild were shocked!

Because in the formation made by that magister, a total of sixty-four powerful magic traps were arranged, and it also took into account the three different magic systems of water, fire, and darkness!

And the magic array arranged by Merlin is a pure labyrinth, disrupting the operation of time in the space of the magic array, and there is no danger other than that, but it almost starves a powerful magister to death!

"You Byzantines always like to make simple things so complicated. A magic array is so fancy, so many different magics, although there are many of them, they are all sparse!"

Merlin's words made the magister so ashamed that he almost committed suicide on the spot, and then he walked away on the spot, never to bother with the affairs of the empire again.

The second competition is the magic induction of the competition, this time and Merlin is a magic power of a deep magic magister, the magic of the magic of the magister and cāo control ability is extremely powerful, on the spot to demonstrate a stunt: he cast two different high-level magic at the same time, first cast the fire magic, with the fire into a huge fire dragon, let the flame dragon fly above the magic union square, and then turned into a water dragon with water element! The two dragons, one fire and one water, flew back and forth above the square, obviously water and fire were incompatible, but under the cāo control ability of this magic master Jīng, the two dragons of water and fire soared into the sky together, but they would not cancel each other out for half a point!

And when it was Merlin's turn to make a move, Merlin sat down on the ground and closed her eyes in the expectant eyes of everyone! Then her magic power opened, and after a while, Merlin opened her eyes and said lightly: "In the city of Osgilia, there are fifteen people who died today, nine of them died of illness, four committed suicide, one was hanged as a criminal, and one was trampled to death by a frightened galloping horse on the road! Nine more babies were born today, seven in the south of the city and two in the west of the city. ”

It turned out that in this moment, Merlin's powerful magic power had already enveloped the huge city of Osgilia, and the magic sensing power was all over the city, and everything that happened in the city was under her magic sense!!

As soon as these words came out, all the magicians present were stunned, and some people didn't believe it, so they summoned the city guards in Dìdū to search the whole city! Six thousand city guards went out and ran all over the city, and finally checked it out, and it was exactly what Merlin said!

Originally, the people in the magic union still wanted to deny it, after all, the magic used by the two was different, and it was difficult to compare who was higher and who was lower.

Merlin sneered on the spot: "I knew you would say that!"

After saying that, Merlin demonstrated a magic on the spot, she first conjured a flame, conjured the shape of a fish, and then made a piece of water with water magic to levitate in the air, and in front of everyone's eyes, the flame fish swam in the water for a moment, not extinguished.

The difficulty of such a magic cāo control is no worse than the two dragons of water and fire soaring at the same time just now!

"What your people can do, I can do. But what I just did, you can't do!"

Merlin said this, and the Byzantine magicians finally had no excuses, and the magister who competed with her took the initiative to admit defeat, and then left helplessly.

Two of the three games have been lost, it stands to reason that Merlin has already won, and finally when the third magister competed with her, the Byzantine side no longer dared to despise this Lantis witch, and the third mage was also frank: "What I am good at is fire magic, and I have mastered a forbidden spell, but today is a competition, not a battle of life and death, so I can't release the forbidden spell to compete." ”

Merlin nodded: "If it is a competition to release the forbidden spell, then the two magisters are any one, and the strength of the battle is no longer below me." It's just that we're better than what?"

The third magus smiled: "In addition to fire magic, I am also good at potions, which can be regarded as a little achievement, so let's try my skills in potions." ”

It turned out that in addition to the strong fire magic and the strength of the battle, this third magister was also very good at magic potions, which could be said to be the best among the magisters of the Byzantine Empire at that time!

As a result, the way of competition between the two sides is also simple, anyway, the raw materials of any magic potion can be found in the warehouse of the magic union, so everyone goes into the warehouse and brews an exclusive magic potion, and the two sides of the competition drink the magic potion boiled by the other party!

"Drink the other party's potion, the one who is okay wins, and the one who can't support it loses - if you drink it to death, you deserve it!"

After listening to this, Merlin was neither happy nor angry, and replied coldly: "Okay, just do it!"
