The castle boiled again.

She didn't know why she thought this way, but seeing that the person who was still wearing a white dress was about to be taken away, Sophia still couldn't help but stop it.

It seems that only when she sees the person in front of her can she feel the truth and falsehood.

The maid who served her acted strangely at her unexpected request, and she seemed unwilling to see the two of them alone.

Sophia put on a haughty look, "As the princess' honored guest, don't I have such a right?" She was indeed acting more and more like that Princess Mino.

The maid's face was a little tangled, and she struggled for a long time before retreating.

Sophia asked, "You know my name."

Jiang Chen sat on the side, eager to see what else she had to say.

"Aurlia? No, it's not..." she said, sweat starting to drip from the corners of her forehead.Obviously, it is not an easy thing for her to overthrow the current cognition in her mind.When her sanity was disturbed, she kept repeating numbly, "Suo... Suo..."

Orlia.

The blonde girl who disappeared after entering the castle.

Jiang Chen realized a problem that he had neglected. Sophia's blond hair was also very brilliant, and her eyes were blue like jewels.In terms of these two characteristics, she is similar to Orlia.

"Sophia."

This long-lost word seemed to light up her life.

"That's right! That's right!" When she calmed down, she seemed to recover part of her sanity, took her hand, and said nervously, "Go to the well."

And then it becomes, "Go there. Go there."

Her eyes wanted to look in a certain direction, but they couldn't.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes slightly, remembering Sophia's face after seeing the deep well, and Orlia kept reminding them not to listen to the singing.

"Aurlia?"

Sophia agreed without hesitation, "What's the matter?" Then she repeated dully, "Name. Name..."

"It's nothing."

So when the carnival started again, Jiang Chen left the city openly.

The person at the bottom of the well was indeed the missing Merlin.

In the dark well water, Merlin's face was exposed.He kept looking up at the outside world, roaring, but Jiang Chen couldn't hear his voice, and he couldn't seem to see anyone outside the well.

So Jiang Chen sat by the well, plucked a vine and a leaf beside the well, "Help."

Picked another piece, said lightly, "I can't save it."

……

"Don't save?" Jiang Chen finished picking the leaves, paused for a while after reading these two words, then threw them away, got up and left.

He thought of Mordred, took two steps, and came back, pointing his fingertips.Another piece of bare vine grew, and then said calmly, "There is one more piece." Facing the well, "Please remember to thank me for my kindness."

His eyes fell on the vines, and his blue eyes turned golden. "Grow."

The vines grew crazily, surrounded the giant tree next to it several times, and stretched into the well water. The existence similar to a horizontal plane touched the green vines, like a mirror, and was smashed to pieces.

"rise."

Every time the magic takes effect, it is the withdrawal of the magician's verbal will command and appeal.

When it comes to how to use charisma, no one has more say than Jiang Chen, a special existence who rebels from time to time and becomes the co-lord of the world.

When Merlin came up with the green vines, he was lying on the side of the well, his clothes were already soaked.

Seeing Morgana standing in front of her with her back against the sun, the rabbit-fur cloak shimmered.For a moment, I felt like I met the legendary angel.

It took a while before I realized it. I looked blankly at the vine I was grabbing, and then at the only person around. I was shocked, "Morgana, do you know magic?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "How long are you going to crawl by the well?"

Merlin let out a dumbfounded sound, grabbed the edge of the moss-covered ancient well and pulled it out, paralyzed on the grass, trying to take a breath, but when he thought of Morgana's magic, he couldn't breathe out, and worry took over everything.

"Morgana, do you know magic?" he asked again.

Jiang Chen: "Yes."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything to cover up, Merlin understood very well, and made up a series of thoughts about Morgana obviously not wanting to have anything to do with magic. She was most afraid that Uther would know about it, but she still used magic to save herself. Unbearable mental journey...

A conclusion was drawn, "Thank you...you are so kind! Morgana."

He looked serious, "Don't worry. I will definitely keep this secret for you."

Jiang Chen: ...

Keep it a secret?

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing.

In fact, even if Merlin chooses to testify against him, it doesn't matter.First of all, he must bear the consequences of the accusations made by the common people against the nobles.Secondly, he must be clear, Morgana and Arthur's servant, whose words are more powerful in front of Uther.

He thanked casually, "Thank you."

In Merlin's eyes, it is natural that Morgana still does not want the magic to be exposed.Yes, King Uther, who hates magic the most in the world, is her guardian, but she has magical talents... No, now that she has completely become a magician, how can Morgana not worry about it.

She looked calm, but in fact, she must be very scared.

Just like his life in Camelot.

Worried.

As for Morgana, she still doesn't have the understanding and company of Gaius.

The dragon kept saying that Morgana would be Arthur's enemy.But her relationship with Arthur is so good, even if Uther forbids magic, Arthur, he will not hurt Morgana.Therefore, it is impossible for them to become enemies.

Merlin traveled wildly all the way.

Jiang Chen saw that he seemed to be lying here thinking about life, "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Merlin looked at her suspiciously: "?"

"Remember what happened?"

Merlin's sluggish reaction finally connected the line. He lay on the ground and patted his water-soaked head, shocked, "I remembered! I thought I was going to walk out of the forest, so I took an extra step. I saw a girl in the She was crying by the well. I went to ask her, but someone pushed her into the well.”

He only moved his eyes and didn't even move his head. He looked around and saw the empty forest. He immediately jumped up from the ground, "Where's Arthur? Where's the knight?"

Jiang Chen probably knew why Arthur and Merlin always had a good time.Because only the two of them had the same reaction speed.

Jiang Chen turned around, extremely cold, "Oh. He should be dying again."

Merlin panicked for a while, "Where are they?"

"Illusion."

"Have you ever heard of the siren's ritual?" This kind of sacrifice was described by the cowhide painting that Jiang Chen had seen in Camelot's library before.Jeffrey, who manages the library, was careless and put this painting related to the old religion on the table.When Jiang Chen saw it, he was still very scared.I'm afraid that Morgana will say to Uther casually, "Ah, I saw a magic painting at Jeffrey's today."

When Jeffrey was uneasy, Jiang Chen asked what the painting was, and stopped asking.Just say, "Put it away, Jeffrey."

However, that painting is not so bloody.

Merlin replied, "The Siren Sacrifice? Gaius said that it is a very ancient ritual, and there must be an old priestess or a wise man present."

"In ancient times, sea monsters lived on the sea. They had charming singing voices and could command the tide of the ocean. In order to avoid the harm of storms, people living by the sea would send gifts to the sea monsters at regular intervals. .Or, if the Kraken is interested in something, they must give it away, this is to pray for long-term peace."

"Human sacrifice?"

Merlin seemed a bit embarrassed. He didn't want Morgana to think that magic was dark and deny him, but he didn't want to lie to his savior either. His voice was like a mosquito, "Ah."

"Yes or no?"

"Sometimes." He said in a lower voice.But that's a method only used by wizards who practice black magic.Normal wizards or sages don't take part in human sacrifices.

Jiang Chen unexpectedly didn't ask any more questions. "anything else?"

Merlin saw that she wasn't angry either, so he continued, "The most famous incident about the sacrifice was more than 300 years ago, when the sea monster took a fancy to a princess from the coastal kingdom..."

Jiang Chen's tone was calm, and he took over his remaining words, "So in order to protect the safety of the kingdom, the king offered his own daughter as a sacrifice."

Merlin smiled awkwardly, "Ah, that's about it."

"Morgana, won't you be angry?"

Jiang Chen: "Why?"

"It's about them using magic to sacrifice the living."

"Are you referring to why I don't sympathize with that princess?" Then get angry at those fools who want to sacrifice her alive?

"She is innocent."

"Food the king's wealth, bear the king's worries."

"But she died."

"That's because she is weak when she can't match the interests of everyone."

Merlin was taken aback by the coldness in her tone, not sure about her state, "Morgana?"

"Her weakness was an important cause of her death."

"Morgana... If Uther were to abandon you because of magic, wouldn't you hate him?"

When he said this, he was ready to face Morgana's accusation.

"Merlin." Jiang Chen smiled kindly, "Who else knows about magic except you and me?"

Merlin's reaction was finally quicker, and he answered decisively, "Oh. Actually, I don't even know anything myself."

Jiang Chen looked towards the castle, "You have delayed for so long, I hope Sir Gran's head is still on his neck."

Of course, the carnival is over.

Everything is quiet again.

Can only wait another seven days.

Not surprisingly, the bridesmaid becomes the bride, that is the new sacrifice.

As expected, the seven men who died before were just an appetizer for the official ceremony.

All those who die because of this will become part of the illusion, and then travelers who step into danger without knowing it will join their team of dead souls.

Sophia will be the new Mino.

Minuo, whom they met before, will undoubtedly become a member who enjoys fresh blood under the coronation stage.

When the new Minuo invited Jiang Chen to attend as a bridesmaid, he was not surprised to be rejected, "The one who will marry you is the king of the sea. That is not a human being."

Her face suddenly turned ferocious, and the whole illusion was filled with a piercing roar.

Their contract was evaded by a human!There is a problem with their next bride!

"But I'd love to attend your wedding."

The ear-piercing screams stopped instantly, and she showed a cute and innocent smile, as if the hideous look was just an illusion.

Jiang Chen's smile was also perfunctory.This illusion should end here.

This time at the wedding, only the bride was present.

It is a sacrificial ceremony prepared for the bride.

She looks happy and happy.Seems happy to be the chosen one.Chosen as a sacrifice to the Kraken.

In the extremely dark night, all the shadows were cheering.

Until an uninvited guest broke the extravaganza.

Holding a torch, the young magician rushed in and shouted, "Sophia! Your name is Sophia Timor, not Mino!"

At this moment, it seemed that the shackles had been broken.

The blonde bride standing on the stage gradually became clearer, "Sophia Timor... Sophia..."

But at the same time, for those with magical powers, an ear-piercing scream roared into the sky.

The undead standing under the stage rushed towards Merlin and Sofia.

An inch closer, and they will be surrounded by immortal demons.

In the dilated pupils of the sluggish Merlin, the undead who rushed over and showed a deformed human face suddenly disappeared.

When the conch shattered, the shrill and sharp female voice pierced through it dazzled people's eyes.

Like a mirage.

All the ghosts, the castle, were all blown away in the cool breeze of dawn.

Ruins.

Merlin was still in shock.

Among the ancient ruins, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding, seeing Morgana's sword glowing with a magical blue light, splitting the conch sculpture in front of Sophia in half.

And she was already bent over to support the stone railing outside the sculpture, squatting on the ground, frowning slightly, trying to cover her ears with her hands, but insisted on acting as if she didn't hear those screams of resentment.

Meilin wanted to help her up, but Jiang Chen withdrew his hands, frowning even deeper, "No need. I'm fine."

She is the person at the center of the illusion, directly facing the unexpected huge impact when the formation eye was shattered.Merlin felt that Morgana would never be safe and sound, but seeing her acting like this, there was nothing she could do.

Anyone who knows a little about Morgana will know that it is never Morgana's style to admit defeat and show weakness.

Merlin stood up and looked around, "Then I'll go find Arthur."

Jiang Chen closed his eyes slightly, the pain like needle pricks in his mind became more and more obvious, he couldn't help pulling the hair that was hanging down, "Okay."

There are legends about sea monsters, it is mentioned that they are very good at confusing.It was a form of mental attack.It's just that I didn't expect that this magical conch that supports the illusion was also made into a weapon.

When the sacrificial ceremony is maliciously sabotaged, the person who took action must also pay the corresponding price.

When Jiang Chen stood up while supporting the stone railing, a sudden gust of cool wind hit his head, and he grabbed the attacker with his backhand without hesitation. Sophia, who was holding a wooden plank, looked a little shocked, as if she hadn't expected the card in this state. Her Royal Highness Princess Melo still has such a fast reaction speed.

She let go of her hand, and smiled awkwardly at Jiang Chen, indicating that she did not mean anything malicious.Jiang Chen felt a pain in the back of his head, his footsteps faltered, and he passed out.Sophia reached out to support her fallen body, and smiled happily when she saw the wood that knocked Jiang Chen unconscious in the air behind Jiang Chen.

look!He always pretended to be mysterious and unpredictable in front of her, but in the end he was going to be knocked out with a stick by her.

Merlin dragged one from the left and dragged the other to the right, and when he pulled the surviving but still dazed knight here, he saw Sophia supporting Morgana.

Her face was pale, and she was almost as angry as a gossamer.She seemed to be dying for a few days, and there was a trace of blood dripping from her forehead.

Merlin panicked, pointing at her hand shaking up and down, "Is she... Morgana dead?" What did you, Avalon, do to her!

He heard the words with Arthur on his back, and opened his eyes wide, "What's going on!" God!If something happened to Morgana following him, he couldn't guarantee that his father would not take his skin off.

Sophia: ...

Looking at those two people like a fool, "Will I still control people to death?" It's just that the shot... was a little heavier.But having said that, she shot lightly, how could she knock Morgana out.Do you want to watch Morgana pull out her hair and become a bald man?

She suddenly pulled Jiang Chen back with some precautions, staring at Merlin, "You don't want to do anything to your savior?"

It wasn't just him, Merlin, who knew the prophecy.She had also heard about Camelot's prophecy.In the end, Morgana would die at the hands of Merlin, she also knew this.

Merlin was puzzled, "I haven't questioned what you did to Miss Morgana yet."

Arthur looked around, a little confused, "What happened? Where are Meranti and Gran?"

Merlin: "It's a long story."

Sophia snorted coldly, "They have become Princess Mino's husband-in-law! Your noble prince almost stepped into the same footsteps." Stupid mortal!Almost killed her too!

Arthur looked surprised, and looked at Sophia in puzzlement and surprise.He didn't understand why Sophia, who had always been very gentle and lovely in front of him, spoke worse than the usual Morgana today!

Merlin looked around at the bones and moss, and couldn't help shivering.He witnessed with his own eyes that a splendid castle was turned into ruins in an instant.

The ground was full of broken walls and ruins, and the damp seemed to be able to squeeze out water.

All kinds of bones were scattered all over the place.The same feature is that they all have no heads.

Merlin touched the goose bumps on his arms, "Please listen to me. I suggest that no matter what you don't understand, put it aside for now. Let's go back to Camelot first."

As for the two knights, they obviously couldn't take the mutilated remains back for burial.

Arthur patted him on the shoulder speechlessly, "When will it be your turn to command!" He didn't want Merlin to support him anymore, and raised his hand, "Knights, obey orders! Return to Camelot!"

Merlin: "..."

The only thing that makes people feel lucky is that the horses are still on the ruins, safe and sound.

It was dawn, and the morning star was rising in the dark blue sky.The twilight of the morning glow gradually spread to this cursed land, dispelling the darkness of the night.

A group of figures rode horses and set foot on the way they came.

Behind, the broken conch is still dripping water droplets that reflect the shimmer.

The morning breeze blew away some of the rotten blood of the long night.A white-haired young man with a dark green cloak came here.

"As I said, he won't let it go easily." Casaril said calmly.

"Yes."

After a while, Mordred asked, "Is she safe?"

"Looks like it is."

Hearing such an answer, Mordred also seemed relieved.

Facing the mess, he raised his hand, and when his blue eyes turned golden, heads flew out of the pool under the conch sculpture and hung in the air, dripping into the water.Some have become white bones, and some have two, whose faces can still be vaguely distinguished.It was the two missing knights.

I heard Casaril sigh insignificantly, saying, "Bury them."

Mordred nodded obediently, opened a piece of land, waved his hand, and one skeleton after another fell into the pit.

He read an old saying and tried to redeem them, "burial." The surrounding soil was piled up layer by layer, forming a huge tomb.

Casaril held the long sword left on the conch, and with a casual slash, took off more than half of the conch fragments.

"Is this useful too?"

"I think...it won't be worse than the spirit gemstones you got from the Dragon Tomb." As a living tool, or a medium for storing souls, isn't it very suitable?

"Is this gift Morgana's?"

"... Mordred will have another."

"..." Mordred's eyes lit up, thinking of Morgana, he hesitated again, "But you can't enter Camelot. Neither can I."

"I know. It's okay, the right people have volunteered."

Mordred asked him again, but he just smiled and stopped answering.
