Raise Your Sword Chapter 12: Our world


   "I don't like gatherings like this. If I have enough capacity, I want to go outside." "Me too, I haven't seen a steam train or a radio yet!" The conversation with Kate once inadvertently came to mind. ...

   "I...want to go out and have a look." Merlin hesitated for a while and gave his own answer.

   "Is it the only way?"

   "I didn't expect other things temporarily." Merlin said truthfully.

  Jenny's mouth slightly twitched, and she looked at Merlin and suddenly laughed. The atmosphere in the room seemed to soften a lot because of this...well, she was actually quite surprised after listening.

   "Simple wish." After Jenny finished speaking, she paused for a while, and then continued: "But you may not be able to achieve it..."

   "Your current location is called the Oslank Snow Mountain. When you leave the mountain, it is the Duolun Empire. One of the spheres of influence of the Holy See. You can't walk far with this ring." Jenny put her hand on the table. The above gestures roughly indicate the direction.

   "Why?"

  "In terms of the purity of the faith of the Holy See, they will regard all non-inner power holders as heretics, but with different degrees and treatments. Not only are you out of control for them, but also treasures that they have The value is huge and extremely dangerous, this is the crime!"

  "In this regard, the way the Holy See usually takes away your things and devotes them to the Lord-for your own use, and then what you do depends on luck."

   Hearing these words, Merlin was shocked. He hadn't considered this aspect at all.

   "Crimination." Merlin slowly uttered these two words, and the scene where everyone looked at his eyes flashed before her eyes—"He is a heresy, Merlin will use the power of heretics!" People were fighting at the beginning. Calling him that way, hostility flashed in his eyes.

  "...Of course, you can also choose to never use it, without being discovered, and just give up the ring." Jenny sighed and continued: "But it is also very difficult. As a powerful source of mystery, your ring is very For people, it is as obvious as a torch in the dark."

  Merlin never thought of giving up this ring. He liked the feeling of touching another world after putting it on.

  "But you can also have another choice." Jenny guessed Merlin's thoughts, and at this moment she cleverly took over the thoughts and continued: "I can take you out of here, so that you can protect and hide yourself before, Avoid the chase of the Holy See while trying to use the power of this ring."

   "Do you have any conditions?" Merlin asked after thinking about the meeting. He guessed that Jenny had said this suddenly. It was not without purpose that she wanted to go with her.

   "Three things, you will promise to do three things for me in the future. Of course, I won't embarrass you." Jenny stretched out three fingers.

   "What is it, can you tell me in advance?"

  "...you will know later."

   The fire light in the fireplace gradually dimmed. Perhaps it was because the firewood had not been added for a period of time. The light of the oil lamp was like a bean, and it flickered from time to time. At this moment, the light in the hut looked a little gloomy, and Ishina didn't speak at the dim table anymore. She was waiting for Merlin to make the final decision.

  Merlin thought carefully at the table. Although he didn’t know whether Jenny had lied to himself in it, he intuitively told him that this is indeed the best choice at the moment. The most important thing is that he is really curious about everything she says, and this town does not. May stay longer...

  After a long time of meditation, he finally said: "Okay! I promise you!"

   "A wise choice!" Jenny's mouth curled slightly and continued: "It seems we will get along for a long time."

   "Let's reintroduce it, then." Jenny stood up and walked randomly. "I'm not Jenny, it's a pseudonym, you can call me Isina in the future." At the same time, she raised her hand to make a ceremony, and Merlin now knew that it meant that the agreement was established.

   Merlin also stood up.

   "Also... if you have nothing to deal with, we have to leave here as soon as possible." Ishina suddenly looked out of the foggy window and said: "I used too much magic to save you yesterday, this Enough to be caught by the ruling agency of the Holy See."

  "······These guys are very fast, they are not good talking characters!"

  ·········································

   The sky is cloudless, clean and thorough, the snowy ground seems to have been washed, and the sparkling snow is dazzling. The dawn in the distance pierced the cold wind and dyed everything golden. Each ice peak was extremely dazzling in the sky, pure as glass, with a most natural sense of holiness.

  This is the north side of the Hurricane Mountain Range.

   Meilin followed Isina on the trek on the ridge after the wind and snow. At this moment, it has been three days since Meilin decided to leave with Isina.

  Merlin carried a simple package, carrying only the things that were important to him.

   That afternoon, he looked at the hut where he had lived for many years for the last time, and then glanced at the townspeople who cringed and hid in the distance...He knew that he would not be back for a long time...

   At this time on the ridge, Isina dressed in a thin black robe, stepped on the deep snow, raised her hand to look at the beauty of the morning light in the distance, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, the more sinister the place, the more I can appreciate the amazing beauty."

   Meilin glanced at him. He had lived in the snow-capped mountains since he was a child, and he didn't think it was a big deal. On the contrary, Isina wore a long black robe to outline a slender figure and walked in the plain snow. This contrast matched her beautiful appearance and made him look twice.

  You can see the top of Hurricane Peak vaguely to the south, and Isina suddenly asked: "Merlin, what happened to you on the top of Hurricane Peak? Can you tell me?"

  "Don't you know?" Merlin was a little surprised. Isina should be very clear about her every move.

   "I just enchanted your sword with buffs and detection spells. The spells expired not long after the explosion, so it's not clear afterwards." She shrugged. Now that the knife had lost its spell and illusion, it had changed back to its normal appearance. Merlin carried it on his back and took it away.

   organized the language, and Merlin said: "I experimented with the power of the ring on the top of the mountain, and found that I could manipulate the air pressure node to form wind, causing suffocation, and so on. Then I discovered that the hurricane on the top of the mountain was actually driven by countless huge nodes. , Convenient to use them down the mountain."

  's words are unclear, but Ishina didn't ask too much, she didn't want to listen to the ability of the air pressure ring. Merlin now knew that the other party was just following the established rules and habits.

   Speaking of three days of study, Merlin has already understood many things, such as spells and even the concept of wizards themselves. Now he can not only understand many of Isina's terms, but also has a deeper understanding of the ring on his body-the ability of air pressure.

  The so-called wizard is just the name of the empire, which is different in other countries. Generally speaking, there are several potential rule conventions:

  一: Do not perform to ordinary people. Two: Do ​​not expose your identity at will. Three: Do not explore each other's power

   Merlin once asked Isina what was the reason for this. Although he did not understand the answer, he remembered it in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ It probably means that the power of the law comes from mystery, the less People know that the more powerful the power, if exposed to ordinary people at will, and the mystery is scattered, it will lead to downgrading.

   As for air pressure, this concept was a bit difficult for him to understand at first, but after repeatedly manipulating the ring, he finally felt the so-called nodes he manipulated, which are high pressure and low pressure groups. Of course, he can also change it quickly. And because of this, there are some ideas for use...

  "Merlin." Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Ishina in front of her asked, "Have you been to the forest over there?"

  Ishina pointed to the gradually widening forest at the foot of the right side of the ridge. Due to the presence of the sunny side of the mountain, more rugged and interesting landforms have unknowingly formed.

   Meilin shook the package and the snow crunched. He walked a few steps forward and frowned and looked at it. The trees sparsely scattered from the foot of the snow-capped mountain, until the distant place was thick and dense, stained by the snow. The white jungle continued to the distance until the greenery became thicker and deeper and deeper.

   Very far away, the graceful forest seems to hide a strange crisis in the silence. Unless the food is exhausted, the hunters will not approach there. There are some huge and dangerous beasts inside.

   "I haven't gone deep. It's too far from the town. It's said to be dangerous."

   "That's the best, let's go around a little bit from there."

   "Why, don't you say that you want to go to the northern kingdom as soon as possible, and find a way to make peace with your companions?" Merlin was a little confused, because this was the scheduled itinerary that Isina told Merlin before departure.

   "That's right—" Isina said in a tone: "But now there is a more important thing to do." She turned around and turned her head to look at Merlin with a natural expression.

  "······Daguai, upgrade!"
