months later.

"Nine Tails, can't we use magic to fly over here after we've been walking for a few months? And these days, why didn't you let me practice magic instead and let me do those things that only a savage with a brain full of muscles would do?" training."

"Boy, what do you know! Every mage must have a dream of melee combat. In case one day when you are fighting with others, an assassin suddenly comes from the side to fight you in melee, you can also use your staff Dying him."

Nine-Tails' majestic voice carried a trace of disdain.

"But in the battle of a mage, shouldn't you use gorgeous and complex magic to bombard the opponent to death?" Merlin said stubbornly.

"No, no, no, I think you must have fallen into some misunderstanding." Kyuubi's wise voice sounded in his mind, "I ask you, if there is a very, very difficult enemy, and now you have a chance to Get rid of him at once, and cut off all troubles from now on. Then, do you choose to solve it directly, or use the magic you are proud of to fight him openly."

"Of course it's a fair fight with him for the honor of the mage."

Merlin puffed out his chest proudly, as if he was the greatest magician in the world.

"Then have you ever thought about it? You may die in a direct confrontation. Even if you don't die, your battle will hurt other people. If you directly solve the other party, all troubles will disappear. Sometimes, the solution to the problem is often It's very simple, but there are always some people who think about difficult things. They always think about simple things and make them complicated."

It is said that Kyuubi fell into silence at night, as if falling asleep in a dream world.

"Is the easiest and most effective way..."

Merlin looked at the sky, the white clouds turned red under the afterglow of the setting sun, his eyes became confused, and then he fell into deep thought.

In an inconspicuous small town in Rome.

The most famous local steel and battle ax tavern is still as lively as usual, with a large number of mercenaries, vagrants, and wandering knights drinking beer and throwing gold coins here.

In this world full of extraordinary power, human survival is undoubtedly difficult and dark. The monsters living in the forest may trigger a wave of beasts at any time. Weak villages cannot resist it, and weaker towns often hire those mercenaries to visit them on a regular basis. Only by cleaning up the beasts can the occurrence of beast hordes be avoided and the danger minimized.

In this era, only nobles, knights with power, and magicians with magic power can truly sit back and relax.

However, for ordinary people, no matter which one is out of reach, all they can do is to live at the bottom of society, use their own labor to fill the pockets of nobles, and thus gain asylum.

"Have you heard that someone was killed recently? It was so miserable! I heard that the internal organs were all dug out."

"Yes, yes, my neighbor's child died like this. If you say this way of death, it must be..."

"Don't talk nonsense, there are guardian knights in our town, and besides, there are priests in the temple, how did that evil thing come here?"

"It's true. You see, what happened in the past few days scares me. I'm probably a murderer with a psychopath. I just hope to be arrested as soon as possible. I can't live with this momentum."

There were people talking everywhere in the tavern, it was very noisy, but in a corner of the hotel, there was a short man who was so incompatible with everything around him.

The wide gray robe wrapped his body and also covered his face. There was a glass of untouched ale on the table. Although it gave people a very ordinary feeling, the long silver-white hair under the robe was still so beautiful no matter what. Bright, like the beautiful Milky Way in the night sky, mysterious and charming.

"Sorry for being late."

A man wearing a red hat with feathers, a jacket and long leather shoes, a rapier pinned to his waist, and an even smaller man walked up to the table and faced the whole face hidden under the robe The person said with a smile.

"It's okay, I just came."

Merlin smiled and took off his robe, revealing his handsome face and white clothes. The man in the hat also took off his hat, revealing a pair of cat ears and a furry cat head hidden under the red hat.

"I didn't expect that the rumored cat in boots, the cat swordsman with unparalleled sword skills, would look like this."

Merlin was a little surprised to see the cute cat with soft red hair and bright and penetrating eyes. It was really hard to imagine defeating the demon in the rumors.And to give the devil's treasure to the suffering villagers. The mysterious and powerful cat swordsman, who is loved by everyone, is in front of his eyes. You know, this is a living myth.

"A lot of things will be very different from the legends, and it's not surprising that you will be surprised."

The cat swordsman politely ordered a small dried fish from the waiter like a gentleman, and sat on the seat opposite Merlin like a human.

"Then, regardless of reality and legend, you are the teacher who arranged for me."

Merlin looked at the fluffy cat with cute big eyes, and felt a little restless.

"I really owe that great kindness, so it's fine to be your teacher."

The cat swordsman smiled, picked up the knife and fork on the table and tasted the small dried fish on the table, like an elegant nobleman tasting exquisite snacks.

"Then when will we..."

In the middle of Merlin's speech, the cat swordsman gagged his mouth with a small dried fish.

"Now is not the time to talk, wait until I finish eating and go out to chat."

Merlin closed his mouth knowingly, and sat there quietly watching the cat swordsman eating, his gestures were elegant and impeccable.

In the shadows, two suspicious men were sitting at the table, discussing in a low voice.

"Is that the Son of God?"

"The compass the leader gave us pointed to him, so it should be correct, but the cat next to him is more difficult to deal with. How could the legendary cat swordsman appear in such a place..."

"We shouldn't be discovered."

One of them kept erratic eyes, and sweat flowed from his forehead.

"Probably not. Even if we find out that following my God's will, all plans have reached a critical stage. Even if we risk everything... we have no way out."

"Then we can only wait for them to leave the tavern and play by ear."

"That's all it takes."

Someone looked at each other.You can see the unrest in each other's eyes.

Angels will come to the world eventually, and this dark and unclean world will be swept away by chaos.

And we are the supreme masters of the new world.

Praise be to the Supreme Lord of Chaos.

The tavern that Merlin and the cat swordsman left came to a dark alley.

"Mr. Cat Swordsman...we want it."

Merlin was about to ask something, but was stopped by the cat swordsman.

"Shh, don't talk! Stand still until I come back."

"Also, my name is Tom."

After speaking, the cat swordsman Tom deftly jumped onto the roof, chasing a black shadow jumping out from the corner.

"Mr Tom..."

Merlin looked at the direction Tom was leaving with longing written all over his face.

"Quack quack, what a rare opportunity."

In the shadows, a large number of black tentacles stretched out, tied Merlin before he could react, and dragged him continuously into the darkness.

"Whoa! Woohoo!"

Merlin wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound at all, and the magic power in his body seemed to be frozen, unable to mobilize.

Just like that, unable to resist, he struggled a little bit and was dragged into the shadows.

Who can help me……

Vaguely, he seemed to see a towering tower in an endless sea of ​​flowers, and a young girl knight holding a golden holy sword.

"Will you regret it?" Merlin asked in the dream.

"No, because only in this way will the people escape from the sea of ​​suffering and the country will emerge from danger, so I will not regret my choice."

After speaking, the girl pulled out the holy sword stuck in the boulder.

The holy sword is held high and shines like the sun, dispelling all the darkness in the world, and letting the wandering people see hope.

"Artoria Pendragon!"

In a trance, Merlin remembered this familiar but unfamiliar name.

"Who is she? Why do I feel like I understand something, but what is it..."
