There was only one thought left in Arthur's mind. Just as Merlin said, every wizard's hands were stained with blood. They were evil and impudent.
Arthur became more vigilant when he saw the two extraordinary people in front of him. He silently stood in front of Merlin.
"Who are you? Are you related to the iceberg that just flew by? "
"The one that flew by … Well, let's call it an iceberg. That iceberg has nothing to do with us. It's a flying vehicle of the Moonfrost Alliance. " This time, it was not the elegant man who answered him, but the young man he called his master. "As for us, you can call me Pustin. Just as Dark Dian said, we were just passing by and happened to hear your conversation. We don't mean anything else."
Pustin looked at the elegant man he called "Dark Dian" and nodded slightly. "Dark Dian, it's time to go. We're still far away from the Parmigi Highlands. I hope we can return to the organization before the Month of Recovery next year."
Dark Dian nodded. "Master, if you work harder, you can unlock more of my postures. Then, I can take you away. "
"When that time comes, I can buy a flying vehicle. Who would want you to take me?" Pustin rolled his eyes at Hei Dian, and the master and servant walked out of the oasis town. The direction was different from the direction where the iceberg had gone, which was northeast.
Arthur did not expect them to leave just like that. "Are they really just passing by?"
Seeing Pustin and Dark Dian walking further and further away, Arthur suddenly shouted, "Are you going to the Evernight Kingdom?"
Dark Dian made a hand gesture to confirm Arthur's question.
"But now, many places in the Evernight Kingdom are covered by huge domes, and there's an epidemic of madness."
Pustin looked at Arthur. "Thanks for the reminder, but we won't stay in the Evernight Kingdom for too long."
"But … But …" Arthur hesitated.
He stuttered for a long time but did not know what to say. He was tempted, but he did not dare to express it.
At this time, Merlin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted, "Can we become wizards too? Can we be your apprentice? "
Arthur stared at Merlin in astonishment. His eyes had been gouged out by the evil Sorcerers. How could he be willing to become one of them?
Merlin seemed to feel Arthur's gaze. He lowered his eyes and said, "Isn't this what you're thinking?"
"I —" Arthur swallowed his saliva. He wanted to retort, but he didn't have any words. This was because Merlin had indeed spoken his mind. When he was young, he had always wanted to become a knight because knights were the most powerful in his eyes. Previously, when he saw the people on the ice mountain and heard Merlin's description of the Wizards, only then did he know that there was an even more powerful force above the knights. They were called Wizards.
The pursuit of strength was Arthur's belief. How could Merlin not know?
"Just now, Lord Dark Codex said that gouging out my eyes was only for the sake of transplanting organs. If I become a Magus, I might be able to get an organ transplant and see the light of day again. Therefore, no matter how evil the Sorcerers are, I want to become a Sorcerer, "Merlin said.
At this time, Dark Codex and Pustin, who had walked far away, slowly walked back.
"Whether a Wizard is evil or not isn't something that can be summarized in one sentence. However, almost every Wizard pursues profit, just like the Wizard who gouged out your eyes. Do you think he's evil? Perhaps from your point of view, he's evil. However, if he really used the word 'evil' to conclude, then you wouldn't be standing here in one piece. Instead, you should be buried in the ground. " The one who spoke was Dark Codex. "In my opinion, he's only pursuing profit, and you happen to have the profit he needs."
Dark Codex's words shook Merlin's heart for a moment.
At this time, Pustin said, "Don't talk nonsense. Moreover, evil and good are opposites. You've said so much, but it's all nonsense."
Dark Codex turned his head and said with a little grievance, "I'm a book. Reasoning is my job."
Pustin looked away and looked at Merlin and Arthur.
"Although Dark Codex has changed many concepts, he's right about one thing. All Wizards pursue profit." Pustin paused. "I'm the same."
"I can lead you into the Wizard World, but you'll have to pay the corresponding price."
"What price?" Merlin and Arthur spoke almost at the same time, but Arthur added, "I can pay the price on behalf of Merlin."
"What a beautiful brotherhood," Dark Codex praised with a smile. "It reminds me of Master's friend."
Seeing that Merlin and Arthur were about to fight over the price, Pustin coughed twice. "You can stop now. The price I want is different from what you've imagined."
"I only need you to promise me one thing."
"When the time is right, you have to add a new law to my Dark Codex."
"Dark Codex, this is?"
Pustin slowly reached out his hand. The elegant man's figure changed and turned into a thick leather book, falling into Pustin's palm.
"This is the Dark Codex."
After experiencing the transformation from a woman to a man, seeing Dark Codex turn into a book, Arthur's pupils shrank this time, but he didn't make a fuss. He even calmly looked at the cover of the book.
He didn't recognize any of the characters on the cover.
However, the author's name at the bottom right corner was written in the common language. He muttered silently in his heart:
"Sailum Pustin."
…
Phantom Island.
Knock knock knock.
The door was pushed open, and Butler Goode showed up. "Mister Padt, Lady Madelyne is here."
Angor nodded. "Wait a moment. I'll be right there."
Today was the day he would leave Brute Cavern and head to the Abyss Plane. Everything he needed to do was …
Angor looked at a small bed beside his bed. Toby was sleeping on it with a fluffy panda nightcap covering his head, which gave him a child-like look.
"Time to go." Angor nudged Toby, who yawned and slowly put away his little bed.
"Why don't you stay here? The Abyss Plane is a dangerous place."
Toby glared at Angor. Even though it was just a look, Angor knew what it meant: Don't you dare leave me behind.
"Thank you." Angor smiled.
Angor had already decided to go to the Abyss Plane, but he still felt a little hesitant when it was time to leave. After all, the Abyss Plane was much more powerful than the wizarding world in the south.
Besides, there were also demon gods in the Abyss Plane.
Even the weakest demon god was at least a legendary existence, and the south hadn't seen a legendary being for thousands of years.
Angor was still hesitant about going to such a dangerous place.
But with Toby by his side, Angor felt a little more confident. At least he wouldn't be alone.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the hesitation in his heart. Then, he walked out of the room with Toby. Goode was still waiting by the door. "Mister Padt, are you sure you want to go?" he asked in a low voice.
Goode's face was covered by his mask, but Angor could tell from his hesitant voice that he was worried about Angor's safety.
"Don't worry. I'm just going to see my professor. I'll be back soon." Angor tried to calm Goode down. "Anyway, I can tell him if you need anything."
Goode shook his head. He didn't have anything to tell Sunders. As the butler of Phantom Island, Goode had gotten used to being away from his professor for a long time. Even Sunders wouldn't show up for years, not to mention that it had only been a year and a half since Sunders left.
Angor went to the living room and saw Madelyne.
The legendary "Ruthless Thorn" didn't look like a violent person at all. Instead, she was calm and collected.
When talking to Angor, she didn't sound as arrogant as the other wizards. Instead, she was quite friendly.
Maybe it's the difference between a wizard clan and a wizard organization? Angor wondered.
Madelyne was curious about Angor as well, but she didn't want to talk about it right now. "I just received news that the guards of Moonfrost Union are already at the border of the Evernight Kingdom. They should arrive at Brute Cavern soon."
"Evernight Kingdom? Lady Madelyne, I heard that the portal is near the Baikal Sea, so it should be in the northwest. Why are they coming from there? "
"The guards of the Moon Frost Union are not only responsible for transporting supplies, but they are also responsible for transporting supplies from the abyss. According to the previous agreement, they will go to various wizard organizations to trade. Why else do you think so many wizards are willing to go to the Abyss Plane at this time? " Madelyne paused. "So they didn't come to Brute Cavern directly from the Baikal Sea. They must have gone to another organization. I think they went to Moxa Westland."
"I see."
Angor couldn't help but think about Hermes and Loki when Madelyne mentioned Moxa Westland. Angor remembered that Alan and Loki were good friends. He wondered how they were doing after they parted ways in the purification garden.
"Let's go. You can ask me your questions on the way." Madelyne led the way.
Madelyne was about to leave the manor when she suddenly thought of something. "I heard from the witches in the organization that the airships you make are beautiful. Do you mind giving me a ride? "
Angor nodded and took out his Gondola.
Madelyne clicked her tongue in admiration as she looked at the shining Gondola. "That's a beautiful airship. No wonder so many witches have sent you letters, asking you to help them refine flying vehicles. "
Riding on Gondola, the two left Phantom Island.
As the airship flew over Phantom Island, a man wearing a panda costume looked up from the sky bridge and sighed. "Did fate go wrong again?"
