Merlin?
Doesn''t that seem to sound like a Greek name?
Are they indigenous people?
Murphy could not help frowning slightly, turned and walked out of the barracks.
If he remembers correctly, except for a few people including Marquis Elizabeth, other aborigines are not allowed to enter the inner city.
Did the patrolling soldiers neglect their duty and let them in?
If that''s true, they will have to be punished.
When he saw several people waiting outside the barracks, Murphy was stunned.
The other party''s dress is very strange, all of them are the same color, wearing a gray cloak, very long, mop the floor. In addition to the thin figure standing at the end wearing a long sword, other people are no doubt not holding a wooden walking stick.
In other words, it should not be a walking stick, because the walking stick will not be carved with such complicated and gorgeous patterns, let alone inlaid with gems.
The costumes of these people made Murphy feel very familiar.
"You are the Lord of this city? The governor of the Greek population? " A young man with a rather proud look came to Murphy and said.
The answer is a long sword!
Standing behind Murphy, the general''s bodyguard attendant listened to him and without saying a word, pulled out his sword and put it around his neck. As Murphy''s attendant, he would never allow others to speak to the Lord in such an arrogant tone!
"Don''t be rude, dillas!" The leader of this group is a tall, white haired old man. He can''t see his age, but his face is ruddy and his voice is loud. He is more mean than others.
The old man walked slowly in front of Murphy and looked him up and down, as if surprised by his youth.
When his eyes fell on the ruby ring on Murphy''s finger, which was given by the queen of eagles, there was a little bit of consternation on his face, but he soon lost it. He leaned slightly over and said, "my name is Merlin. I''m what people call a wizard. But I prefer to be called a magician. "
magician?
Murphy''s fingers trembled, but he soon got them under control.
The old man pointed to the proud young man beside him: "this is my disciple dillas."
Then, the old man pointed to another middle-aged man with a big physique and a strong body like a soldier: "this is Gandalf, a magician from the morendos mountains."
Then, the old man introduced several other people, most of whom were the disciples of the magician Merlin.
But I don''t know why, he didn''t introduce the emaciated man who stood at the end who wanted to match the long sword.
Looking carefully at the people who claimed to be magicians in front of him, Murphy''s mind had been full of waves. He had known for a long time that there were a group of people calling themselves magicians in the southern plains, but they were rare and mysterious. But in the mouth of ordinary people, they are more known as witches.
All along, Murphy wanted to meet these people.
But I didn''t expect that today they would take the initiative to find themselves.
"Your Lord. We have no malice. We are here to help you Looking at Murphy, Merlin said, "there are shamans in the army of jackals who can use elemental power. It''s hard for mortal power to fight against them. You need our help."
Just as he said that.
The figure of the high priest didn''t know when to appear. She came to Murphy slowly and said softly, "the goddess told me that there was an ally coming. Lord, are they
There was a trace of shock on Merlin''s face. He was surprised to see the high priest who came slowly to Murphy''s side. He said in disbelief, "are you a priest?"
The high priest nodded, but said nothing.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the rumor. You really have your own gods The magician Merlin sighed and said slowly, "are you from another continent? Have the human beings there possessed their own gods? "
Murphy was shocked when he heard the words!
"The goddess favors mankind." The high priest looked at the magician in front of him and whispered.
These mysterious magicians were placed in the governor''s house.
After the high priest left, Murphy told the maids to prepare a big dinner for them.
"Why do you come to help me?" Murphy looked at the magicians in front of him. Except for their special clothes, they didn''t look very different from other people.
"We are magicians, but we are human beings." It was Gandalf, a magician from the morendos, whose name made Murphy sound familiar. Gandalf, a middle-aged magician, said in a deep voice: "the Jackal believes in kazat, a demigod with a wolf head. Although gods will not interfere in mortal wars, their shamans can use the power of elements! "
"Since the second era, jackals have been the enemy of mankind."
Hearing the words, Murphy showed a smile on his face. He looked at the magicians in front of him and asked curiously, "what is the power of magicians? What''s the difference from the priesthood? "
"The power of all casters comes from elements. The difference is that the priests rely on the gods, and the power of the magicians comes from themselves. " Looking at Murphy''s curious appearance, the magician Merlin explained.
"What are elements?" Murphy frowned, puzzled.
Elements?
Like in the physical chemistry of previous lives?
The magician Merlin slowly spread out his right hand, and some obscure syllables were chanted out of his mouth. Then a small flame appeared in his palm. The flame leaped and expanded, and finally became a fist sized fireball.
"That''s the power of the elements." The magician Merlin threw a fireball out of the hall. After the fireball touched the ground, it exploded and burned on the ground.
Is that the power of magic?
It doesn''t seem very powerful? Murphy looked at the pit on the ground, but he was puzzled. In terms of power, at most, it is equivalent to a World War II grenade, but I don''t know how many times these magicians can use such magic. Is there any more powerful magic?
It seems that the civilization of this world has just begun. All the technologies are very primitive. Is it the same with magic?
The maids looked at the mysterious magicians curiously, and then brought up the exquisite dinners.
"Where does magic come from? Is it from the Elves as it is said? " Murphy raised his glass and asked, looking at the leading magician Merlin.
It seems that the magicians are not very interested in food. Instead, they are very fond of wine. Except for the thin figure with a sword, the other magicians basically have nothing to eat, but pour wine cup by cup.
"The origin of magic can''t be verified. But human magic really comes from the inheritance of elves. " Merlin, the magician, lifted his glass as if with emotion.
"At the beginning of the era, the era when the heroes of the human race fought out the jackals and other cannibals. A group of anthropologists went to the ancient elves to learn knowledge. Some of these scholars who are gifted understand how to use the power of elements. This is the original magician. "
"Human''s talent in magic is not excellent, and the number of magicians has always been very rare."
"Because human beings are not born with magic like ancient elves, it takes a long time for human beings to meditate and accumulate their magic. As a result, there has never been a powerful magician before. "
"In fact, since the second era, fewer and fewer creatures have been able to use the power of elements. From the ancient elves, all the way to the pure high elves, and now to the mixed blood elves. With the increase of population, the superiority of many races in magic talent gradually disappeared. It is said that many descendants of giants living on the other side of the mainland can no longer use the power of elements. "
"The rules of the world are balancing, and the gap between human beings and other races is narrowing."
"In fact, since 1800 years ago, magicians have begun to carry out a kind of change and study a new power!" The magician Merlin said that there was a trace of fanaticism on her face. "Magicians are trying to attach the power of elements to some objects because they can''t match other races in talent," he said in a deep voice
"We call this new school of magic alchemy!"
Murphy tried to digest the information. When he heard Merlin, the magician, say it, a word came out of his mind.
Is this human intelligence?
In terms of physique, human beings are far from the rivals of jackals, but the fact of history is that the southern plains have been occupied by human beings, and the more powerful jackals have been expelled.
"Alchemy?" Murphy chewed three words and asked, "what''s the use of this school?"
"We try to attach the power of elements to weapons to make them sharper. We also try to attach the power of the elements to the armor to make it stronger. We''re even looking at using elements to drive things Speaking of this, the magician Merlin sighed: "unfortunately, it takes a long time to experiment, and the progress of scholars'' research is very slow."
"At present, the only achievement is that we can make a weapon invincible in a period of time, or make a piece of armor extremely strong."
"The exploration of magic requires a lot of practice. Many precious materials take a long time to collect. "
"At present, human beings are bound in the southern plain, and the magicians have to leave the southern plain when they are looking for some precious materials. In this way, they have to face many dangers! " The magician Merlin pointed to one of his disciples, the proud dillas, and said, "he''s a father. He''s a very gifted magician, but he lost news when he went to the karazan mountains to look for a rare mineral."
Hearing this, Murphy could not help feeling.
The development and growth of mankind has paid countless blood and lives.
Why are these magicians not like this?
