I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 287 The Girl at the Altar

After glancing at Edward, Merlin was silent for a while, and then shook his head: "It seems that what I want is indeed not here. Maybe what the teacher said is wrong. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

"Oh, forget it, don't do such uncertain things next time." Edward waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

At this moment, a messenger hurried towards the two of them and said in a short tone: "I'm sorry to disturb you two. General Freed said that he has something very important to ask of you, so please come with me."

"

Edward and Merlin looked at each other and nodded.

Then the two men followed the soldier, and they quickly walked through a wide passage.

Outside the passage is a fairly wide flat land.

A huge altar stood in the center of the flat ground, and allied soldiers were lying around the entrance of the altar, looking seriously injured.

"Edward, Merlin, you are finally here." Freed, who was not far away, saw the figures of the two boys and immediately went to meet them.

"Freed, what is going on?" Edward asked immediately after seeing Freed.

"This, this is an altar that one of my subordinates just discovered. There is a very strong barrier around the altar. The magicians I brought with me tried their best to break it, but Lao and Lao came to help."

"It's just a broken barrier. My fighting spirit is enough." Edward disagreed after hearing this.

However, when he was about to raise his sword to slash at the looming light red barrier, Merlin on the side stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, Edward. The barrier on that altar is not only very strong, but also quite destructive. Of course you can destroy it with your fighting spirit, but when the time comes, the broken barrier magic will destroy everything around it."

"This..." Edward also hesitated. As a warrior, he also knew very well that his knowledge of magic could never be higher than that of a great wizard, and Merlin had always told the truth and would not lie.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple." Merlin nodded, came to the entrance of the altar, stretched out his hand and slowly approached the light red barrier, "In the face of the rapids, it is better to go down the current than to go upstream."

The moment it came into contact with the barrier, Merlin's fingertips released a stream of wind element, which quickly merged with the fire element in the original barrier. The strong winds were quickly intertwined with the flames, and then merged with each other and rushed towards the sky.

"I'll go...Merlin, was the barrier broken so easily?"

"Yes. This barrier is protected by a strong fire element. It seems that the person who set up this barrier should be a high-ranking dragon." Merlin nodded.

"Edward, look at what's in that altar?" Merlin suddenly pointed in the direction of the altar and exclaimed.

The two people walked forward quickly and found a blond girl lying in the center of the altar.

The two men immediately came to the girl's side to inspect her.

Especially Merlin, after seeing the girl's location, he looked around at some of the arrangements around the altar again, and suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Merlin, is something wrong?" This was not the first time Edward saw Merlin frowning. Such an expression usually indicated that the situation was very bad.

"Judging from the appearance here, there should be some ceremony going on. But it seems that the last ceremony has not been completed."

"Ritual? So according to what you mean, does this girl..." After hearing what Merlin said, Edward seemed to realize something.

"It should be right. This girl was a sacrifice used in the ceremony. According to the rules of the ceremony, the more powerful the ceremony, the higher the sacrifice. The Dragon Clan used a girl as a living sacrifice this time. They must be planning to summon a very special person.

Strong power, but fortunately the ceremony was not completed."

"What, they really use people as living sacrifices! Damn dragons." Edward said angrily after listening to Merlin's explanation.

But he soon realized something and said to Merlin: "Don't worry about the rituals now, let's see how the girl is doing."

Merlin nodded, and the two of them came to the girl's side and began to check on her condition.

This is when Edward finally saw the girl's appearance clearly. With her small cherry-like mouth and strong and small nose, the girl's eyes were closed tightly, and she looked as holy as a sleeping goddess.

"Well, according to my guess, her consciousness seems to have been sealed, so she should be fine. Why are you in such a daze, Edward? Why don't you help her up quickly!"

"Um, it's nothing. I was just thinking about what kind of ritual those dragons wanted to perform, and they actually needed human sacrifices. By the way, Merlin, is this girl a dragon or a human?" Edward also realized his gaffe just now,

He explained with some shame, his eyes never leaving the girl's face.

"It's hard to say about the ritual. Ritual that requires a living sacrifice will undoubtedly require the summoning of a very powerful force. Perhaps the dragon clan intends to summon some ancient power of the dragon clan.

This girl is 100% an ordinary human being. I can’t feel the aura and power unique to dragons from her.” Merlin answered Edward’s question while condensing a ball of light elements in his hand, and then put his hand

Slowly placed it on the girl's forehead.

The milky white light element quickly melted into the girl's body, and then her entire body glowed with a faint white light. Soon, the light dimmed, and Merlin also removed his hand from the girl's forehead.

"Well, that should be enough. I have unlocked the seal on her consciousness. If nothing else happens, she will wake up soon."

Sure enough, dozens of seconds later, the girl made some movement just as Merlin said.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked around at the objects around her, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

It was a pair of pure blue eyes, just like the sea. Looking at the two strangers beside her, the girl seemed a little scared, and her thin body shrank back unconsciously.

The pitiful expression on the girl's face would make anyone want to protect her.

"Don't be afraid, you're fine." Edward said to the girl with a smile, while extending his right hand to show friendship.

"Who are you? Where are you here?" The girl's fear did not diminish at all. Instead, she seemed to be even more frightened, and she kept moving her body backwards.

"My name is Edward, Edward Trendo. The guy next to me who can't smile is called Merlin. He is my friend and also my partner.

You are now on the altar of the Dragon Clan Temple, don’t you know?

If we had arrived a little later, I'm afraid you would have become a sacrifice in some ritual of the Dragon Clan."

Even in front of outsiders, Edward never forgets about himself. Fortunately, Merlin doesn't care about this, or he has become accustomed to it.

"Did you save me? Thank you for your help." The girl said and looked at the scene around her.
