Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 138: Merlin City Lord Defects

Now that the internal troubles have been resolved, the only thing left is to eliminate the pathogens transmitted from the State of Zhao. After all, the most critical feature of this disease is its infectiousness.

I set up a large spirit gathering array in Merlin City, and then I placed a large spirit stone in the center of the array, so that the virus originally cast by Dracula could be absorbed by the spirit gathering array and gathered in the spirit stone.

One night three days later, Dracula tossed and turned in his tent because the virus he had released did not seem to work, and the spies he sent reported that everything was normal in Merlin City.

"Report! Marshal, someone wants to see you!"

"Bring it in!"

Dracula looked up and saw that the person coming was actually the mayor of Merlin City.

"I wonder what brings Lord Merlin to visit so early in the evening?" Dracula asked.

"Your Excellency, to be honest, I want to surrender to the State of Zhao!"

"Oh? Sir, you are already the city lord, why do you want to surrender to our Zhao State?" Dracula asked.

"Alas! To be honest, my son and I have a grudge against Xuanyuan Qingyun!" said the city lord.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

In fact, Dracula has long known that the Lord of Merlin City has a grudge against me, but he is still a little confused, so he hopes to try to find out clues by talking.

After a passionate speech, the Lord of Merlin City said angrily, "I originally thought that it was better to resolve the grudges between nobles than to create them, so I apologized to him, but that bastard didn't know how to appreciate it and beat me and my son out with sticks, making us two lose face! This time, he even made trouble for us from time to time, and my poor son couldn't even get out of bed after being beaten! I swear I will not be a human being if I don't avenge him!"

"Well! It's really unworthy for the lord of a city to end up like this. Well, even if the Qin State is unlucky to have encountered such treacherous ministers and the loyal people don't get rewarded!" Dracula sighed.

"Yes Yes!"

"However! It is useless for you to surrender like this. It is better for you to work with me to take down the city of Merlin. By then, not to mention the lord of Merlin, even becoming the lord of a province will not be a difficult task!" Dracula tempted.

"This..." The mayor of Merlin City hesitated for a while.

"If you don't want to, I won't make it difficult for you. But my Zhao country never keeps useless people. Please go back, sir!"

"Okay! Let's do it. The Emperor of Qin is incompetent and bullies my civil officials. I have no backing and I let a little kid bully me. I will rebel against him!" The Lord of Merlin City slammed the table and said angrily.

"Good! You are worthy of being the lord of a city. You have the courage. This box contains the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder. You can add it to the food of the Azure Dragon Army. When the time comes, I will lead my men to attack them. The two of us will establish great merits for the State of Zhao!"

"My lord, the marshal and the guards around him are all served by special people. I have a skill that can help you capture the city!" said the Lord of Merlin City.

"Oh? Please speak, sir!"

"There is a secret passage underground in Merlin City that leads directly to the outside. I sneaked out through this secret passage! My Lord, you can send experts there at noon tomorrow. As long as my Lord can subdue Xuanyuan Aotian and the dozens of diamond bodyguards around him, they will not be a match for the Zhao army even if the city gates are opened wide! I just don't know if my Lord has so many experts under his command!"

"Haha! If Merlin City is conquered, you will definitely be the first to achieve this. Don't worry, I will personally lead the team tomorrow. It's just a sword master and a few dozen diamond warriors. I don't care about them!"

"In that case, I wish you a triumphant return!"
