I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 299 Rushing

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Edward nodded and turned to leave.

On the way back, Edward bought some gadgets and planned to give them to Ellie so that she could be a little happier before she knew the truth.

Edward came to Ellie's room and knocked gently on the door, but Ellie inside did not respond to him.

This made Edward feel a little strange. So he simply pushed open the door and walked in, waving some exquisite trinkets he bought for Ellie in his hand and said: "Ellie, let's see what I buy for you..."

Just as Edward was halfway through his words, he immediately stopped and saw Ellie lying on the bed sobbing.

Edward quickly stepped forward and asked: "What's wrong, Ellie? Has anyone bullied you?"

Ellie raised her head and saw that the person coming was Edward. She looked at Edward with her already red and swollen eyes and said, "Tell me, Edward. Tell me, teacher, is something wrong with the teacher?"

"This, how is this possible? Merlin is a great magician. Looking at the entire continent, there are probably only a handful of people who can pose a threat to him."

Edward looked calm on the surface, but was secretly surprised in his heart. He didn't know how Ellie knew about the Silent Temple. It was obviously unlikely that someone else had leaked the news.

After all, the doctors taking care of them obviously would not tell such a thing. If he hadn't happened to sneak into the pub today, he would not have known that such a big thing was happening in the mainland.

But in front of Ellie, he still had to pretend to be calm.

"Don't lie to me, Edward. You don't know that the teacher and I are both magicians, and there is a strong feeling between master and apprentice. Although I can't sense what happened specifically, I can feel the teacher's current feelings.

The situation is very bad.

You sneaked out today. Did you hear anything about the teacher?

Tell me, teacher, what happened to the teacher..." Ellie broke down in tears as she spoke.

But her hands were still holding the corners of Edward's clothes tightly, and she kept crying, her eyes full of sadness and pleading.

"I..." Edward glanced at Ellie's pitiful appearance, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "A large number of undead monsters suddenly appeared in the Mercenary Kingdom, and they attacked the Silent Temple the night before. It is said that there was no one there.

No one escaped..."

"No..." Before Edward could finish speaking, Ellie wailed and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, Ellie. I believe Merlin will be fine. The terrifying Dragon King back then couldn't do anything to him, and nothing will happen to him this time. He is a great magician, and he will definitely be able to escape alive.

"

Edward simply held Ellie in his arms, stroking her blond hair and comforting her.

Although he himself felt a little confused and uneasy when he was being comforted.

After listening to Edward's words, Ellie slowly stopped crying, looked up at Edward and said, "Edward, I want to go back to find the teacher."

"This, how is this possible? You are not injured yet..." After hearing Ellie's words, Edward immediately stopped him.

"It doesn't matter, my injuries are almost completely healed. And don't forget that I am a magician and have the ability to heal myself. There is no need to stay here.

Please let me go back, I want to find the teacher." Ellie became more and more excited as she spoke, and began to cough violently because the wound was affected.

After Edward looked at Ellie's firm eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Okay. But if you train for a day or two, you won't be suitable for the road now.

I will explain the specific situation to Lord Duke, and we will set off the day after tomorrow to return to the Silent Temple to find your teacher."

After listening to Edward's words, Ellie's mood obviously stabilized a lot, and she nodded vigorously.

Edward covered Ellie with the quilt again, told her to have a good rest, and then left the room.

Two days later, despite Duke's repeated attempts to stay, Edward and Ellie embarked on their return journey.

Along the way, Ellie used wind magic to greatly increase the movement speed of their mounts. If the horses were too tired, they would forcefully use healing spells to temporarily recover them. In this way, which consumed their own magic power and the horse's endurance, they were less than two years old.

On the same day, I rushed back to the Silent Temple from Auron.

However, what they saw when they returned to the temple made them deeply feel the cruelty of reality.

The location of the temple has been completely destroyed by a powerful magical force.

Except for the tens of meters deep pit left on the ground and the debris scattered around the church, it is almost unbelievable that the Silent Temple, one of the three major magic holy places in the mainland, was originally located here.

The towns surrounding the church were, without exception, washed in blood, with human remains scattered everywhere...

"No, that's impossible. It's all fake!

It's just a dream, as long as you wake up, as long as you wake up, everything will end." Seeing the place where she once lived turned into a living hell, Ellie muttered to herself absently.

Suddenly, she grabbed Edward's arm and said, "Edward, tell me, this is all fake, it's just my illusion, tell me..."

Looking at Ellie who was crying with tears streaming down her face, Edward didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. He just held her gently in his arms and let her cry.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to persuade Ellie, or he had to admit that Merlin might have left this world.

Ellie cried for a long time and drove hard all the way, and finally got tired.

After a while, he fell asleep in Edward's arms.

And Edward also took advantage of Ellie's sleep to start to recall recent events and the various doubts in these events.

In the end, all doubts converged on those regeneration crystals, and the person who made those crystals was undoubtedly the man in black who rescued Yorkby at that time.

He seemed to be using Yorkby as a test subject, and the test was successful, so he started to mass-produce it...

"Did he cause the current chaos in the entire continent?"

Edward seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the badge in his arms several times again, "It seems that in order to solve the current question, we must first figure out the origin of this badge.

If Merlin was here, he would definitely think of something, but now he may, may not be in this world anymore..."

After feeling melancholy for a long time, Edward took one last look at the dim starry sky and the sleeping Ellie beside him. He let out a long sigh, then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ellie's eyes, and fell asleep with his shadow oath on his back.

Since the church has been completely destroyed, there is no point in staying there except increasing the danger.

At Edward's suggestion, the two decided to head back to Carré, the capital of the Mercenary Kingdom.

Along the way, Ellie remained silent, with only endless sadness on her face.

This made Edward feel very difficult to deal with, although Edward would always create some light-hearted topics in the hope of alleviating Ellie's sadness.

However, after trying a few more times, he found that Ellie was still frowning, so Edward had no choice but to give up.

"Maybe it would be better to leave her alone." Edward looked at Ellie and thought silently.

Suddenly, Ellie's originally cloudy eyes became brighter. She raised her head and looked around eagerly, as if she was looking for something.

"What's wrong, Ellie? What's wrong..." Edward asked quickly when he saw Ellie's appearance.

"Hush, Edward. I seemed to have felt something just now..." Before Edward could finish speaking, Ellie immediately interrupted him, then closed her eyes and began to sense something.

Seeing Ellie begin to fall into a meditative state and the uncertain look on her face made Edward very anxious.

He hated this feeling of wanting to help but being powerless.

Suddenly, Ellie opened her eyes and looked around.

"Edward, follow me quickly!" After saying this, Ellie clamped down on her horse and galloped away.

"Ellie! Don't go there alone, it's dangerous!" Seeing Ellie's actions, Edward quickly patted the horse and followed closely behind Ellie.

Compared to the magician Ellie, as a warrior, Edward's riding skills were naturally a level higher than Ellie's, and he soon caught up with Ellie's horse.

He found that Ellie looked anxious at this time, with tears faintly shining in the corners of her eyes.

"What's going on? Ellie, you didn't say anything. Did you find something?" Edward was very anxious at the moment and asked immediately after catching up with Ellie.

"It's the teacher, the magic wave just now was Teacher Merlin!" Ellie didn't look back, she just murmured to herself.

Although his voice was very soft, Edward still understood the meaning of Ellie's actions and words just now.

He raised his eyebrows somewhat comfortingly, without saying a word, followed closely behind Ellie and ran towards the direction Ellie sensed.

It didn't take long for the two of them to vaguely hear the sound of fighting. Edward and Ellie looked at each other and tried their best to speed up and move forward.

In just tens of seconds, they arrived at the foot of a dark green mountain.

At this time, they discovered that a dozen warriors covered in dark black armor were besieging a magician wearing a purple magic robe, and there was another person lying behind the magician, who seemed to be seriously injured.

The mage didn't seem to be afraid when facing more than 10 warriors. The only thing that made him scruple was the injured man behind him.

"It's the teacher! The teacher is not dead!" After seeing the purple-clothed mage, Ellie shouted excitedly.

At the same time, those people seemed to have discovered the two of them, and four of them rushed towards them with swords.

Seeing the menacing approach of the other party, Edward didn't say much, put his hands on the saddle, and rushed towards the four of them like lightning.

His opponents only saw a black shadow flash before their eyes, and suddenly discovered that there were several more wounds at some point.

And the owner of the shadow had already passed them and continued to rush towards the others.

With the addition of Edward and Ellie, Merlin, who was originally suppressed, finally began to exert his power.

All kinds of high-level demons came down, beating the soldiers who besieged him into a state of disarray.

Occasionally, his magic was evaded, and the warriors who rushed nearby could only parry in the face of Edward's surging fighting spirit.

But after fighting fiercely for a long time, Edward gradually discovered that the number of black-armored warriors had not decreased much. He found that whenever he or others' attacks dealt the final blow to them, other warriors around them would always step forward in time to resist the fatal blow.

Afterwards, the two warriors who seemed to have been seriously injured would join the battle again as long as they rested for a long time.

"Merlin, I think there's something wrong with those people." Edward said after knocking down the black-armored warrior who he had just chopped down again.

"I can see this too. I have fought against them many times. Unless their bodies are completely eliminated, they will stand up again soon."

"Merlin, do you think it could be the product of forbidden magic?"

"Forbidden magic, why did you suddenly say that?" Merlin was surprised by Edward's lackluster words just now.

He looked at Edward's expression and saw that the other person did not look like he was joking. He nodded and said: "If they used the rebirth technique to create it, it is indeed consistent with the current situation. But that magic should have been lost in the mainland.

For a long time……"

"This, haha, is hard to explain in a few words." Edward said with a wry smile, "But it will be easier if you are sure that you are right."

I saw Edward raising his fighting spirit to the extreme, and the dazzling golden fighting spirit immediately enveloped him.

"I will definitely send you back to where you belong this time." Edward sneered, and the Shadow Oath in his hand stabbed an arc in the air like lightning, instantly cutting the black-armored warrior into two pieces.

In the cut chest of the black-armored warrior, the regeneration crystal fragments that Edward had seen twice appeared.

Due to the loss of the support of the crystal, the bodies of the two black-armored warriors immediately began to decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dust with the blowing wind, as if they did not exist in the first place.

"It is indeed a product of forbidden magic." Seeing this scene, Merlin secretly exclaimed.

He decided to strike while the iron was hot, and a wind blade accurately flew out of his hand, cutting the upper body of a black-armored warrior who rushed forward into pieces.

And the enemy's chest is also embedded with a black regeneration crystal...

After knowing the opponent's weakness, the ensuing battle was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. In less than two minutes, the black-armored warriors who were still besieging Edward and his party had turned into dust flying in the air.

"Teacher, Ellie is so worried about you!" After finishing the enemy in front of her, Ellie cried again, but this time she didn't pounce on Edward, but Merlin!

"Okay, okay. Everything is over. Aren't I fine? My silly apprentice!" Merlin comforted Ellie while stroking his short hair.

"By the way, Merlin, who is that person?" Edward suddenly saw the people lying behind Merlin. There should be two people, and the other one looked like a child.

"Oops, High Priest Natasha, I almost forgot." Merlin said, and then immediately came to her side.

After the three of them approached Natasha, Ellie suddenly discovered that the one who was constantly treating her was the little girl Sheeran she met during the magic trial.

Sheeran was seen crying loudly while constantly using advanced light healing magic to treat Natasha. Seeing Merlin and his party coming over, Sheeran cried even harder.

"Why, why my magic doesn't work..."

"Sheeran, do you remember me? Stop crying, what is going on?" Ellie stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Sister Ellie, I, my magic can't heal the teacher. Teacher, the teacher is about to die..." Sheeran threw herself into Ellie's arms and continued to cry. Ellie looked at Merlin with regretful eyes.
