Quadruple split

Chapter 2170 Orkney City

"I don't like to waste time because time is not equal. Maybe some people will waste their time without any loss, but fortunately, I am not among those who do nothing."

Merlin turned around and looked calmly at the trembling Black Blade warrior, with pungent dark yellow liquid constantly flowing out from the gaps in his armor. At this moment, he was completely speechless and could only make grunting sounds. The necklace on the waist is made entirely of mithril, with a triangular green crystal embedded in the middle. It shines with light: "Kindness is never a bad quality, but it may not be able to get a good result. So, I'm sorry, kid..."

On the ground, dozens of 'lines' composed of light green liquid snaked up the black blade warrior's feet. On one side, they exuded the same faint light as the necklace on Merlin's neck, as if they could breathe. He penetrated into the latter's body quickly.

"At another time, maybe I will be curious about the many beautiful qualities you still maintain after being lightly infected by that concept. Unfortunately, I have other topics to study now, so I only have one minute left for you. "

While stroking his [Cane No. 1], Merlin calmly watched the figure of the Ebon Blade warrior gradually stoop down, his expression neither happy nor sad.

Bang——

Immediately afterwards, with a muffled sound, the helmet of the Black Blade warrior slammed to the ground, and strangely, the place under the helmet that was supposed to be the head was empty. Not only that, in the next moment, ten The Black Blade warrior who was still talking a few seconds ago actually 'collapsed' on the spot, or to be more precise, his armor collapsed to the ground. As for the reason... the people inside had disappeared as if they had evaporated. .

"time up."

Merlin turned around at the same time and faced the clear Experimental Subject No. 7, which had stopped squirming at some point. He said without looking back: "Go and grab a few people, two adult men and women. .”

"Yes, Master Merlin."

This time, when faced with the same question, the remaining two Ebon Blade warriors did not hesitate and immediately responded in unison. Then one of them stayed and continued to stand not far behind Merlin to protect him, while the other quickly walked He left and carried out the old man's order without any delay.

The reason why the two of them did this was not because they were greedy for life and afraid of death. After all, strictly speaking, all Black Blade warriors had already 'died' once. The reason why they chose to obey unconditionally this time was simply because they were unwilling to do so without any fear of death. Just die here in a meaningful way.

In fact, even the squad leader who has "evaporated" will definitely choose to obey orders as long as Merlin is willing to say a few more words. However, in the old man's view, instead of spending countless more words, It's better to take the initiative to stay away from yourself once and for all those things you don't want to bother with.

only……

"It's really troublesome if there's no one with brains around who can be dispatched at will."

The old man approached Experimental Subject No. 7 and quickly updated the experiment log on the magic crystal board. He shook his head and sighed: "The last time I did everything myself, I was an assistant professor."

Having said that, this old man, who looked like he had no power from the panel, but could kill a high-level professional in an instant, stopped talking and continued to devote himself to the project in front of him with incredible efficiency. , methodically and irritably carrying out what he considered to be a horribly inefficient job.

…

half an hour later

"Good evening, Master Merlin."

Arthur quietly appeared in the brightly lit central square of White Rock Town, walked slowly to Merlin's side who was lying in front of a simple workbench sketching, and after scanning the surrounding environment, he chuckled: " It’s much more peaceful here than I thought. When I heard reports from my subordinates, I thought this square had turned into a slaughterhouse.”

"I have no intention of correcting your stereotype, Arthur. After all, under certain circumstances, I don't mind making a cameo in any occupation on the path of pursuing truth, which naturally includes the butcher."

Merlin said calmly and asked without raising his head: "So, you are in trouble?"

"That's not true. Thanks to those magical little toys of yours, our advance speed is simply unbelievable. Although the cost is to cause far more casualties than expected, given that the Dreamland Theocracy was in the north of Griffin an hour ago. A large-scale attack has been launched, and the nobles who have gradually fallen into panic may no longer have the energy to set their sights on us in a short time."

After receiving the news from Jiawen, Arthur immediately rushed back to Baishi Town, the second strategic center of gravity, from the front line alone. He shook his head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "So I decided to completely capture Jialin before dawn. Fort', 'Mona County', 'Lytle City' and the entire area south of 'Fang Fortress'."

Merlin: "Oh."

Arthur twitched the corners of his lips and said dryly: "Is this the end? Just this little reaction?"

"if not?"

Merlin stared intently at the various parameters and derivation on the table that seemed to others to be nothing more than a sacred book, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, tell me directly. I don't have any extra time to waste on you, except..."

Arthur frowned and asked, "Except for what?"

"If you'd like to try that spare body."

Merlin stopped the derivation in his hand, turned to look at Arthur's face that was turning green rapidly, and said seriously: "I can consider taking some time to help you transfer the sin-immersed core."

"You old bastard, you're dreaming!"

Arthur cursed without hesitation and said angrily: "I will never use that spare body you call me in this life. I would rather be stuffed in the body of a fishman, a mudkachu or a kobold than compromise." !”

Merlin looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "You have no idea what a privilege it is to have the opportunity to become the legendary Knight King in ancient Britain."

"fart!"

Arthur waved his fist and said in a loud voice: "Gawen told me! The Knight King you mentioned does have the same name as me, but he is obviously a man. As for the Tolia you called, he was simply named A fictional existence similar to that of a bard in your world!"

"People must have dreams."

Merlin stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was not tall, his aura seemed to be as high as two meters.

"Of course you can have dreams, but I will never pay for your dreams."

Arthur made a rude gesture to his creator, and then gritted his teeth angrily: "Listen, I need you to go to the frontline [Orkney City] now. I just came from there." Come here, if nothing else happens, by the time we return to that place, the city gates should be open and ready to welcome you."

"Orkney?"

After Arthur clearly refused to try to use the spare rune body Arturia, Merlin immediately turned around and continued working at the workbench. Merlin repeated casually, and then asked casually: "Where is that place?"

"A quite valuable strategic point. Although the garrison inside is not weak, the city has been comfortable for too long. As far as I know, even after receiving the news of the fall of Rhinoceros Fortress, the local powerful nobles still Maintaining perfect composure and grace, not only did he not impose curfews or curfews for the sake of the people's livelihood, he even sent out two or three kittens as a token token."

Arthur lightly dusted the dust on his cloak and chuckled: "Not only that, the commander of my second division, Sir Milanson, who was born in the Valyrian family, happens to be very familiar with the defense of that city, and even Even the most confidential information on sentinels can be understood. ”

Merlin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I see... It is indeed necessary to increase the rated power by three percentage points. Yes, if you want its structure to be relatively stable, even if you have to pay some activity as a price, still..."

"Are you listening to me?"

Arthur took a deep breath, expressionless, interrupting Merlin's whisper.

"No."

The latter gave a negative answer without hesitation and said without raising his head: "I told you just now. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't have any extra time to waste."

"What I mean is, if nothing else happens, as the springboard and bridgehead for our subsequent military operations, the city of Orkney is probably under our control now, and I hope you can build a temporary workshop there, The disaster beacon and the alienated radiation tower use this strategic point as the core to exert diffuse control over the surrounding area."

Arthur twitched his lips and said in a deep voice: "Our troops are still too few after all, and your creations can save us a lot of manpower. Orkney City must fully assume the central axis task in a short time. Old man, you should be able to guess that you will be an indispensable and important part of the process."

Merlin finally stopped what he was doing when he heard this, straightened up and said to Arthur: "Do I need to remind you what might happen when I arrive there on the side of the conqueror?"

"unnecessary."

Arthur looked at Merlin calmly and said in an indifferent tone: "As long as you can ensure that the beneficiary of your research is Mo, then I will unconditionally support any decision you make, no matter how inhumane the request, everyone around you Everyone, including me, will do their best to cooperate. As for those who hesitate, criticize and disobey, I will deal with it myself next time."

Merlin stared intently at Arthur's unwavering eyes, and after a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Very good, so where are the equipment I need?"

"Gavin has arranged for Li Fu to transport everything you need from Avalon Fortress to Orkney City. If we set off quickly, you may have a chance to see the workshop under construction."

Arthur smiled and gave Merlin an elegant knightly salute: "Well, respected Master Merlin, can we leave now?"

"Let's go."

Merlin casually patted a certain part of the workbench. In the next moment, with a series of sonorous sounds, the composite workbench with multiple functions turned into a cube and was taken in by the old man. In the bag.

"We can share a horse. Although it will be a little bumpy, I know very well that you have never been the kind of weak person who moans for no reason. Soldiers are very fast. We should set off immediately to avoid complications."

Arthur nodded, then turned towards the town entrance avenue and asked casually: "Speaking of which, didn't I remember that you, Gawen and your siblings participated in that competition? Why did I just ask those people under my command, and they said that you have been I haven’t left here yet, where’s the game?”

Standing on a disk-shaped black metal plate with his hands behind his hands, Merlin followed Arthur at a walking speed that was no less than that of Arthur and replied calmly: "No fight."

"do not fight?"

Arthur, who tilted his head to observe the floating disk at Merlin's feet as he walked, was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What do you mean? Why didn't you fight?"

"Because of the thing called Cordoba, the prototype of the body you and Osiris use now, his team was eliminated."

Merlin slightly raised the disc under his feet by more than ten centimeters to avoid the bumps on the road, and casually explained: "In this case, the sensational game is meaningless to me, and the Silent Prayer Little Prayer The girl seemed to think so too, so we had a brief discussion and decided to abstain. "

Arthur nodded and asked again: "What about Jiawen?"

"There was a lot to please her and I don't think she would have been too sorry to abstain from that game."

"Well, what if she does feel regretful?"

"Then let her regret it."

"..."

"You seem quite happy."

"Otherwise? She is my enemy who killed me."

"You take life too seriously."

"Isn't it you? Isn't it Gawen?"

"no."

"how do I say this?"

"A chip or a variable is the greatest respect we give to life."
