Standing in the empty council chamber, Merlin's expression gradually darkened, and he turned his head to look at the throne high in the council chamber.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "King, where are you? Don't you know that your city and its people are going through an unprecedented choice? Merlin is already a little overwhelmed by this burden. ”

"Merlin ......" suddenly a loud and loud voice rang out from the throne.

Hearing the heart-piercing call, a tall figure appeared on the throne as a blue light descended from the dome of the chamber.

Merlin shuddered with excitement and turned around as he walked to the throne of the council chamber and knelt down in front of the steps of the throne.

"Wang, you, are you finally back? King, are we? aren't we? aren't ......?"

"No, Merlin, I can't come back yet, so I want you to activate the teleportation array and leave with the people of the city. ”

Hearing this, Merlin's expression changed suddenly, he raised his head and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he couldn't touch the phantom on the throne at all, he could only watch the phantom dissipate, and only Konstantin's voice remained in the council chamber.

"Merlin, troubled times are coming, Brenos is our last pure land, you have to keep it for me, please. ”

Seeing the shadow on the throne disappear, the blue light that sprinkled on the dome to illuminate the entire council chamber disappeared, and the whole council hall was calm again, except for Merlin kneeling in front of the throne staircase, staring at the empty throne, as if the majestic figure was still sitting there, staring at him with expectant eyes.

Merlin knew very well in his heart that now he was afraid that it was really the final choice, otherwise the king would not have projected back and let himself keep the last city in his heart.

The magician knelt on one knee in front of the staircase of the throne for a long time, but finally stood up and turned to walk out of the council chamber.

Arnold didn't expect to see Archmage Merlin twice in one day.

Seeing Archmage Merlin again, Arnold could clearly feel that the other party's momentum was completely different, and Merlin seemed to have made a difficult decision at this moment.

Staring at the young soldier, Merlin's eyes showed determination, and he asked softly, "Arnold, do you still believe in the god of Brenos, and are you willing to pay your part for it, and even use your life to carry out his orders and defend his dignity?"

Hearing Merlin's questioning, and seeing the determination in the depths of Merlin's eyes, Arnold barely hesitated.

Kneeling directly in front of Merlin on one knee and saying, "Arnold will always follow in God's footsteps and defend God's dignity until the end of his life." ”

Hearing the young soldier's oath, Merlin's expression stretched slightly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, very good, Arnold, today I represent the king, I give you this Douqi Source Core, I hope you can always remember today's oath, and can really fulfill your oath." ”

"What?" Arnold was stunned, he didn't expect that a vow he made from the bottom of his heart and instinctively would be able to win Merlin's favor.

"Source core" is synonymous with power, and it is a gift and gift that belongs to the gods.

Arnold also thought that one day, with his great exploits, he would be able to get a source core of his own, and he would be able to rely on the source core to break through to his current self and become one of those beings who could stand at the peak, but he never thought that a qiē would come so quickly.

When he saw Merlin spread out his palm, he presented a crystal clear source core that faintly emitted power fluctuations in front of him.

At this moment, Arnold completely lost the ability to think.

With straight eyes, he stretched out his hand, held the heavy ball of light with both hands, and pressed the ball of light on his forehead.

Let the power in the ball of light gush out, constantly pouring into his body, baptizing his whole person.

This source core left by Konstantin not only has the power that can rival the tenth-level mid-level peak knight, but also contains a large number of Konstantin's perception and means of using power as a god-level being.

The mixed knowledge was poured into Arnold's body with a special baptism, making it difficult for Arnold to fully digest it for a while.

Fortunately, Arnold is a very qualified soldier, both physically and psychologically.

Seeing that the source core began to be compatible with Arnold, Merlin knew that baptism would take some time, so he waved his wand and set up a barrier to protect Arno, while he left Arno's house and walked slowly towards the northeast corner of Brenos.

For Merlin, he still has a lot to do, and giving Arnold the source core left by Konstantin is something he has planned for a long time.

The source core that carried the essence of Constantine's cultivation was quietly given to Merlin by Constantine before leaving.

Merlin could still vividly remember what Konstantin had said when he gave him the source core.

"Merlin, when I was very young, I had a dream to become a strong person, to be able to protect everyone around me, to be a messenger who has the ability to defend and protect justice, so I worked hard to practice hard and strive to improve my strength and get myself to the top step by step. ”

"But when I gained great power, I was carried away by it, forgetting the dreams I had when I was young, and forgetting the vows I had made to the bright starry sky. ”

"Betraying the Brotherhood is the biggest stain on my life, no matter how much I did later, I can't make up for the mistakes I made at the beginning, it was my betrayal, and those former brothers of the Brotherhood were hunted down by the Holy See and the Six Great Temples, so that in the end, the Brotherhood fell apart and could only be forced to go to the shadows. ”

"Those former brothers were sent to the gallows by my own hands, my hands are no longer clean, even if I have surpassed the god level, I can't wash away the sins of the past. ”

"Now, I'm going, to the place where I have gained strength, to prove to my former brother. ”

"I, Konstantin have not forgotten the promise I made that I would use my blood and my life to cleanse my hands from sin. ”

"And this source core, there is my lifelong perception in it, after I leave, you help me find a suitable person, give this source core to him, I hope he can take over the burden I left behind, and become a messenger to protect life and defend justice. ”

In fact, as early as that time, Merlin had already understood that Constantine had rushed to the Sanctuary, and he was probably ready to die.

He knew very well how terrible the fall of the Sanctuary was, and the outpouring of those gods and demons sealed in the Sanctuary would bring new blood and rain to the entire land.

And as a being who broke through the divine level, Konstantin had already escaped once.

The evasion of that betrayal brought down the once glorious Brotherhood and allowed the Holy See and the Six Temples to stand.

Now, the survivors of the Brotherhood have all flocked to the Sanctuary.

They want to use their seemingly small power to try to prevent the arrival of gods and demons, and to fight for a glimmer of life for the creatures on the earth.

As a traitor to the Brotherhood, Konstantin must go, this is his last chance to atone for his sins.

A loud "boom" woke up the pensive Merlin, and the dazzling light of the fire pierced the night sky, breaking the peace of Brenos.

Merlin's brow furrowed, he knew that the fire and the shaking were a sign of an attack by demons outside the city.

Glancing at the northeast corner of Brenos not far away, and seeing the slightly flickering magical brilliance there, Merlin stopped and thought for a moment, and finally gave up his plan to go to the northeast corner of the magic array, turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the western city wall.

The evil light of the fire illuminated the western half of Brenos, and the poor people living in the western half of the city went out of their homes.

Many people were terrified by the strange light of the fire in the direction of the city wall, and many were already kneeling on the ground and praying to the bell tower in the center of the city that their god would appear.

Merlin flashed at the head of the city, and a trace of anger flashed in the depths of his eyes when he saw the little demon below who kept throwing fireballs.

Now that the relocation of Brenos City is imminent, I didn't expect that at this time, those corrupt monsters outside the city would be unwilling to be silent and take the initiative to provoke the city.

Seeing Merlin's appearance, the captain of the soldiers at the head of the city immediately rushed over.

"Lord Merlin, what are we going to do now? Do you want to send men and horses to kill the arrogance of those demons?"

Hearing this, Merlin glanced at the captain of the soldiers, and then turned his head again to look at the little devils who were throwing fireballs outside the city.

After thinking about it, he said: "Don't pay attention to it, they can't attack for the time being, if they get closer, let the crossbowmen attack, it's an extraordinary time, you can't just go out of the city to fight, you must calm down." ”

"Hmph, calm down? Now that everyone is knocking on the door, you still say you want to be calm?"

As soon as Merlin's words fell, Lake's mocking voice came from behind him, "Merlin, do you have no guts, or do you lack strength?"

Hearing Ryker's familiar voice, Merlin didn't even need to look at it to know it was Ryker.

Still staring at the army of corrupted monsters outside the city, he said, "Now is not the time for war, we must hurry. ”

Merlin didn't explain much, and turned around and planned to leave.

Seeing this, Lake felt that he was disgraced, and stretched out his hand to stop Merlin's way and said, "Wait, Merlin, you are just leaving?" Have you ever thought that the glory of the king cannot be disgraced, and if you swallow your anger like this, it will only make people look down on us, and it will make the people in the city lose confidence in the king. ”

"And what do you say you want to do?"

Hearing Merlin's question, Lake was stunned at first, but quickly regained his senses.

Masaseki met Merlin's gaze and said, "We should go out of the city and let the filthy monsters outside the city know that the glory of Brenos cannot be tarnished." ”

"No, we have to focus on the overall situation, and we can't open the city gates now. ”

Merlin barely had any superfluous words, and rejected Lake's offer very directly.

Lake stared at Merlin quite angrily, and roared: "Merlin, don't think that the king has left, here is your final say, sue you, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, you yourself are too timid and afraid to go out, why are we not allowed to go out to fight?"

Merlin looked at Lake in a daze at Ryker's roar.

The cold eyes looked at Ryker's hair, and he actively avoided Merlin's gaze.

After Lake actively avoided his gaze, Merlin walked under the walls and whispered, "Hmph, that's stupid. ”

Merlin's voice was low, but it was clear to everyone in the city.

Hearing this, Lake glared at Merlin's back even more, his eyes were about to split, and he almost wanted to catch up, and used his broadsword to split Merlin, but in the end he still suppressed the anger and impulse in his heart.

Staring at Merlin's distant back, the corners of Lake's mouth rose slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
