There are so many words that can be used to describe Merlin Lehe that it is frightening.

Even an ordinary farmer, miner, or hunter can come up with a series of words related to Merlin Le from his head at any time and at any time.

Even the fools who live on the streets are able to praise Merlinle and a few words in his trembling voice when he is questioned by the executors of the committee.

Although there are many people who do not like the Legislative Committee, the vast majority of people will be cautious in adopting an attitude of praise and praise when talking about Merlin Ler, where the headquarters of the Legislative Committee is located.

What would it look like to be a gigantic magical city that has been honed for hundreds of years by countless mages, architects, and various craftsmen?

Those who have not actually been to Merlin are not qualified to talk about these things, and even those officials and nobles who have seen the world and visited many prosperous cities have no way to accurately describe the appearance of this ancient and prosperous magical city.

"The Magic Pearl", "The Star of the North", "The Tears and Favor of the Goddess Mel", ......

Titles like these give the city an extra layer of fantasy in the middle of a cold world.

However, the real Merlinle is more impressive than many people imagine to be a "great city".

Although it is theoretically a city in Maylinle, its actual size is much more exaggerated than the other large cities in Vanne.

The Magic City uses a more typical inner and outer city structure.

As the core of the Judicial Commission's headquarters, the inner city is comparable in size to Boldon, the capital of the Kingdom of Waterl, and in this inner city, there are all kinds of expensive magical rituals that are constantly in operation, which are ancient, powerful, and stable enough, and after many years of continuous maintenance and commissioning, they have formed an absolute balance between them, not only to protect the security of the inner city, but also to deliver sufficient magic power to those large and small facilities and buildings.

It is also home to important laboratories, libraries, conference halls, and many important magical alchemy workshops belonging to the Dharma.

Contrary to rumors, the number of people who have access to the inner city is not limited to mages, scholars, or artisans, in fact, the number of ordinary residents who can enter the inner city and carry out their activities in it is very large, after all, it is absolutely not enough to rely on those who are the elite of society and the dull, cumbersome magic golems who want to maintain a large city.

However, anyone who needs to stay or move in the inner city for a long time will need to wear a magic pass issued by the Law Committee, which is a special document with elaborate ceremonies that can directly prove the identity of the holder and can also be tracked by the members of the Law Committee.

If someone enters the inner city without the proper documents, it will directly trigger a reaction from the secret rites, and the whereabouts of these people will be exposed, and they will be directly pursued by magic golems, mage executors, and even sword-wielding hermits.

In contrast, the outer city of Merlinle is slightly more relaxed and has the shadow of a bustling city.

Although the supreme jurisdiction of Merlinle and the outer districts is also in the hands of the Legislative Council, most of the time it is those who have close ties to the Legislative Committee.

Large-scale chambers of commerce, mercenary groups with long-term contracts with the Judicial Commission, large-scale factories that require a large number of laborers to support, and embassy districts that have been contracted and built by different large kingdoms......

Of course, of course, there are also those areas and places that should be found in other large cities.

Residential areas, commercial areas, and of course, there are also many huge plazas that integrate different functions such as food and entertainment.

Recently, due to the continuous influx of refugees from Saint-Steele, the places used to support the daily life of the residents have gained an unexpected vitality, and some "entertainment" projects that were not allowed by Merlinle and the mages in the past have quickly emerged and taken shape.

In these port areas near the sea, there is a special industry that other coastal countries and cities do not have.

"Oh, do you see those boats? It's the ones with the sea serpents painted on the flags. ”

On the deck of the Windless, a trench coat Verin stretched out her hand to the distance, where several large ships with inky blue flags were slowly moving, and just now, these large ships sent out a magical signal and used the ship's secret instrument to transmit their identities to the fleet of the Windless.

"The inhabitants of Merlinle and the Continent generally call them 'Sea Beast Ships' or 'Sea Whale Ships', and these ships go to sea to hunt giant sea whales and other magical creatures......"

Shuge squinted and estimated the size of these "sea beast ships", and then said, "They already look about the size of military gunboats. ”

"It's going to be even bigger."

Wei Lin smiled: "After all, they don't exist for fishing, and if you want to hunt those fierce magical sea beasts, you need not only a big boat, but also a lot of manpower...... These ships can be filled not only with fishermen and sailors, but also with mercenaries and mages with large numbers of weapons. ”

As a mage who has lived and studied in Merlinle for a long time, Wei Lin is very familiar with all this, and she adds: "There are not many ships in Van En that can efficiently hunt those magical sea beasts and bring back important materials, so in the outer city of Merinle, especially near the port, there will be a large number of alchemy workshops and caravans stationed, and some very famous chambers of commerce have even set up their headquarters here. ”

She retracted her gaze and smiled at Xiuge, "When I was a stream-level mage, I even had the idea of going out with the boat to participate in the sea beast hunt, of course, my mentor didn't allow it. ”

Shuge noticed that after officially entering Merlinle and the surrounding seas, Verin seemed to be a different person, she seemed to be extraordinarily energetic, and she talked a lot, and she was now like visiting and traveling to her hometown with her friends, constantly introducing all kinds of things and situations about Merlinle.

For the things Wei Lin mentioned, Xiuge naturally knew about it a long time ago.

In the first two days of arriving here, he deliberately turned out a lot of pictures related to Merlinle from the memories he had accumulated to study, but even so, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time.

Looking at other people's memories is still different from what you see with your own eyes.

What's more, Xiuge really wanted to see what the huge magical city that he had described many times in words would look like.

As the Windless sailed, magical signals began to float in the sky, and soon, the three gunboats and two armored ships in the fleet successfully handed over the escort mission, and after passing through a tight pass with magic balloons, large airships, and several new warships, the Windless officially entered the bay of Merlinle, and its guardians became two smaller Legislature ships.

"I was wanted in the city of Salem at the time, and I thought I would never get a chance to come back......"

Looking at the two escort ships flying the flag of the Law Committee, Wei Lin gently tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Xiuge turned his head: "You still like it here, right?" ”

"Of course."

Wei Lin nodded decisively: "Although I have had the surname of the 'Ernst' family since I was a child, in the end, I have spent most of my life in Merlinle...... It's my true hometown. ”

As she spoke, Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, she suppressed the slightly out of control expression on her face, and then said to Xiuge, "Okay, we'll talk about other topics later...... It's time to change our dresses, and hopefully the Legislative Committee won't let the most annoying officials receive us. ”

With that, Shug returned to his cabin and took out his washed clothes.

Before he could put it on, a very strange feeling hung over him, and a slight buzz sounded in Xiuge's mind, as if the entire Windless had just passed through an invisible wall.

The metal disc hidden in Xiuge's body trembled slightly, and the magic ripples instantly spread throughout Xiuge's body, which was the standard reaction of the metal disc when dealing with the perception and invasion of foreign magical power, and Xiuge was already very familiar with this.

As the headquarters of the Judicial Committee, the cost of protection in Merlin Le and is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary cities, and the magic barrier that the ship has just passed through is probably enough to crush the city defense rituals of ordinary large cities.

However, the effect of this invisible wall of amazing magic is not to deter or isolate attacks from the outside world, and according to the reaction of the metal disc, the real goal of this ritual is probably to examine and search for traces of magic on the visitor's body.

A vivid sense of trepidation was transmitted into the depths of Xiuge's mind.

Shuge frowned, he turned to his packed luggage, and took out the huge kettle containing "Justina", which usually would actively emerge from his temporary residence as soon as Xiuge made this movement, but this time, it was extremely cautious and "reserved".

"Are you alright?"

Shuge was holding the kettle, and he could feel a slight tremor coming from within, and the little thing hiding inside the kettle was clearly shivering.

"Giustina" rightfully gave a negative answer.

At this moment, it was like a young beast frightened by predators or predators, and there was nothing in its mind but fear and fear, and in the face of Xiuge's questioning, "Justina" was extremely dazed, and the panic that had appeared before did not appear again.

"Strange ......"

The scene in front of him reminded Shuge of an image that had appeared not long ago.

It was a picture of his fate from the transformed Justina as he was about to flee the city of Salem—he remembered seeing a rather small figure floating in a huge icy lake......

"Glacial Lake, could it be Merlinle or St. Steele?"

Hug pondered as he put his finger on the kettle.

He channeled a little of his abyssal magic inside, and this power of the same origin as "Justina" immediately calmed it down.

"Maybe there are still things and places in Merlin that can be related to 'Justina'?"

Xiuge shook his palm slightly, and with the construction of several magic models, a series of protective rituals mixed with the magic of the Abyss were applied to the kettle, and this action finally brought enough security to "Justina".

There was a knock on the door, followed by Willin's voice.

"Why has it been so long? How's the preparation? ”

"Alright, I'll do it."

Shuge answered, then slipped the kettle back into his suitcase.

……

In the afternoon, Merlinle and the bay exude a breathtaking beauty.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this place seemed to be no different from the bays of other countries, but in the eyes of spellcasters such as Xiuge, under those shaking blue waters, there were extremely regular lines of magic wafting.

"Order" is not only found in the magnificent city that radiates the light of magic, but also in everything that surrounds it.

Huge white winged seabirds with dark purple beaks hovered above the ship, not afraid of the magical steam wafting from the ship, but eager to quickly cut through the heat-laden smoke, and their agile bodies easily cut the vapor clouds into clouds of different sizes, and the seabirds chirped happily.

It seems that they see this behavior as a fun game.

"Merlinle and the bay at sunset are very beautiful."

Wei Lin looked at the seabirds flying in the sky and said slowly, "When the sunlight slanted through the sea, even ordinary people who can't use magic have a chance to see these beautiful and orderly lines......"

As she spoke, Wei Lin raised her head and looked at the oppressive sky, where a thin cloud of mist happened to drift by, so that the chaotic, deep and terrible shadow was once again exposed, and reflected in the depths of Wei Lin's eyes.

No one could look directly into the shadow of the black sun for a long time, so Vireen quickly lowered her head, and Shug saw her gasp violently twice, and her face seemed to turn a little pale.

On the deck, the passengers who had come to Merlin for the first time were staring at the wonders in the distance, and the members of the Sword of Dawn were greedily scanning everything, eager to record everything they had seen.

While the surrounding crowd was watching the scenery, a hand gently pinched Wei Lin's wrist, and then, a slightly cold magic quickly swept through, quickly clearing the sense of disorder caused by the black sun.

"Don't be pessimistic, everything still has a chance."

Wei Lin heard a word come from her ear: "We came to Merlin for this purpose, right?" ”
