Early the next morning, the entire Holy City was a scene of joy. The entire city was in a state of excitement. The civilians came to the streets early in the morning and were busy decorating the street scenes happily.
The lively scene outside also affected the mansion. The noise made it difficult to sleep. At this time, some people in the mansion had already gone out to ask what was going on. Seeing that they had disturbed everyone's rest, the guards quickly apologized and said:
"I'm really sorry for everyone. Today is the last day to prepare for the grand ceremony, so this morning is a bit chaotic. Please forgive me."
According to time calculation, Wood and others are usually already up, and today is no exception. However, they cannot practice combat skills today. Just when Wood was lying on the balcony looking out the window, Yuna came in and said:
"Brother Wood, we are going to visit the Holy City, will you go?"
Wood thought carefully and realized that he had never been to the Holy City anyway, so he could just go for a walk. Then Wood followed everyone into and out of the mansion. Everyone walked on the road and looked at the lively crowds on both sides. Different styles and feelings are different, but
In Wood's eyes, this God's Grace Continent feels different everywhere.
While everyone was wandering around, Laura said sadly:
"What a pity! Feili didn't come out to see this holy city!"
Wood looked back at Laura and said:
"Did you go find Feili just now?"
Laura nodded and said:
"I went to look for her, but she said she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't come out! What a pity! She has never been to this holy city, and she won't even have a chance to visit in the future."
Wood sighed but said nothing. Seeing Wood's expression, Yuna asked with concern:
"Brother Wood, why are you sighing? Is there anything upset?"
Wood shook his head and said nothing, while two civilians chatted on the street and said that their topic aroused everyone's interest.
"Have you heard? The saints of the Dark Vatican are also coming to this year's event."
"I know that the Saint of the Dark Holy See will arrive today. I heard that several bishops have gone to pick up people at the city gate!"
…
After hearing the conversation between the two, Wood sighed again in his heart. It would have been better if the soul body didn't tell Wood, but after telling Wood that the saint was Feili, Wood felt uncomfortable!
Then Wood looked at everyone and said:
"You guys go on, I want to go back!"
Seeing that Wood was about to leave, Yuna chased after her, but Wood wanted to stay alone for a while, so she did not let Yuna follow her. When Wood walked to a tavern, Wood had no intention of going in, but the soul body
After calling Wood, he must be allowed to go in and take a look.
Wood didn't talk nonsense to the soul body. It didn't matter if he went in and took a look anyway. After Wood entered, the first impression he felt of the pub was that it was very clean. There was no one else in the empty hall except the boss.
But when Wood saw the tavern owner, he suddenly felt that this person was extraordinary. The tavern owner was an old man with a very long beard and an extraordinary temperament. Although the old man had been hiding his aura, Wood could feel that the owner was not ordinary strong.
who.
Wood asked in his mind:
"You asked me to come in just to see him? Do you know who he is?"
Soul Body said:
"I don't know. Do you know who he is?"
Wood walked to the bar and sat down and said:
"Boss, a glass of ale."
The tavern owner glanced at Wood, then poured a glass of ale and handed it to Wood, and then said:
"Young man, look at your frown, is there something on your mind?"
Wood smiled and said:
"I'm worried, but I'm curious as to why the greatest magician in the Magic Empire could be a hotel owner here."
The tavern owner was stunned, then he said defensively with a smile:
"Young man, you have the wrong person!"
If the former Wood was indeed not so sure, it is absolutely impossible for the current Wood to admit his mistake, because Wood has awakened all the magic elements, and Wood can easily feel the opponent's magic elements. The old man in front of him, the fluctuations of magic elements on his body are what Wood sees.
He is extremely powerful, and he is also one of the few full-line magicians. In the Divine Grace Continent, there is only one person who has reached this level of full-line magic cultivation, Kairun Merlin of the Merlin family of the Magic Guild.
Seeing that the old man denied his identity, Wood said slowly:
"Thirty-five years ago, the vice-president of the Magic Guild met with His Majesty the Sith and requested to separate from the control of the Magic Empire, and the Magic Guild requested to become an independent organization. However, in that war between the Magic Gods, the then vice-president Kelly Merlin died.
His younger brother Kairun Merlin has disappeared since then. Legend has it in the Magic Empire that only the Merlin family knows all the magic training methods. Judging from your magic background, I will never mistake you for the wrong person."
The old man slowly closed his eyes, and then said unhurriedly:
"So what?"
Wood stood up and said:
"The Magic Empire is in crisis. As a member of the Merlin family of the Magic Empire, do you really not care?"
Kairun Merlin sighed and said:
"After so many years, that incident left a hurdle in my heart. I can't get over it. I don't want to get involved in the Magic Empire. I just want to stay and practice well. If I can break through the shackles, it's best. If not, it's better.
, there is no regret in dying like this.”
Wood frowned and wanted to say something else, but at this moment a figure appeared from upstairs. Wood looked sideways. This was a girl about the same age as Wood, about 16 years old. She had blond hair and long
She has a delicate oval face and looks extremely beautiful.
The girl was startled when she saw Wood, then trotted up to Kairun Merlin and said:
"Grandpa, is this man Wood, the man known as the Martial Saint?"
Kairun Merlin nodded, and the girl then came to Wood. She looked at Wood up and down, and then said:
"Wood, I want to fight you."
Wood chuckled and said:
"Why?"
The girl said:
"I heard that you are the nemesis of the magician, I just want to confirm it!"
Although Wood didn't know how the young lady knew him, Wood could tell the girl's magic level from the density of elements around her. Although it was not as strong as Kairun Merlin, it had also reached high-level cultivation, but for a person of this strength, Wood was
I won't take it seriously.
Just when Wood was about to refuse, the soul body hurriedly said:
"Don't refuse, this girl is no ordinary person. I asked you to come in just to find her and find a way to accept her into the sect."
Wood asked differently in his heart:
"Didn't you ask me to find this old man? Why did you change it to this girl?"
The soul body said angrily:
"When did I say that I was looking for the old man? Besides, you didn't see that this old man cares about this girl! You use your manly charm to trick the girl into the sect. The old man will definitely follow you. When the time comes,
Isn’t it better to have two peaks?”
Wood carefully observed the girl in front of him. Apart from her good-looking appearance, there was nothing special about her! Her strength was nothing more than that! Is it worthy of the soul body to take such a fancy?
While Wood was thinking, the little girl opposite said angrily:
"What are you looking at! Are you going to compete with me?"
Kairun Merlin said hurriedly from the side:
"Girl, stop making trouble, I am a guest after all!"
Wood smiled and replied:
"I have a rule when competing with others. If you beat me, I will give you the artifact, but if you lose, you have to join my sect!"
The little girl opposite clenched her fists and said:
“Keep your word!”
Kairun Merlin on the side quits, what's the matter! His granddaughter sold himself out as soon as he came up. Who is this old man? Can he not see Wood's background? His granddaughter is indeed capable, but with
Wood is a little worse than that.
Kairun Merlin hurriedly stopped him and said:
"No, we won't compete!"
The girl hurriedly cried and acted coquettishly with her grandfather. When Wood saw this scene, he curled his lips and said:
"Let's do this! I will just sit here and not move. As long as you can break through my magic defense, I will lose!"
The girl and Kairun Merlin were dumbfounded. Wood was too arrogant! He sat still and resisted the Magister's attack. Who did he think he was!
The girl said angrily:
"How dare you look down on me!"
Then the flame magic in the girl's left hand appeared and the ice magic in the right hand appeared, and the girl's aura instantly exploded. Her eyes were red, her hair was flying in the wind, and even her clothes were fluttering at this moment.
