I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 300 Big Change

Merlin nodded and walked forward to treat Natasha.

But at this time, Natasha had slowly woken up. She pushed Merlin's hand away and said with difficulty: "It's useless, Merlin... I, I know exactly what is happening now. The black curse has penetrated into me.

Every corner of the body is now helpless.

What I worry about the most is this useless apprentice." Natasha looked at Sheeran who was still crying and said, "Merlin, please..."

"I understand, don't worry. From today on, Sheeran will be my apprentice. I will help you take good care of her." Natasha continued what she said before she could finish.

At this moment, Natasha showed a smile, and then her body suddenly erupted with a dazzling pure white light. When the white light dissipated, Natasha's body had disappeared, leaving only a faint burning mark on the floor.

mark.

"Natasha, keep going." Merlin looked at the burn marks on the ground and slowly shook his head.

"Teacher, what exactly is going on..." Seeing the scene in front of her, Ellie asked in confusion.

"Priest Natasha has been cursed by the dark undead. When she dies, her body will become a lich without consciousness.

In order to prevent her body from being used by others, she used her last strength to burn her body with the sacred flame." Merlin lowered his head and spoke word by word, his tone full of respect.

After everyone listened, they were silent for a long time. Even Xilan, who was so sad that he was in pain, had stopped crying.

After a while, Edward silently put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, turned around and led the horses they were riding.

"Edward, what are you..." Seeing Edward's behavior, Ellie asked a little strangely.

"Let's go, it's time to get out of here."

"Huh?" Ellie didn't seem to quite understand what Edward meant.

"I say we go back to Carre. Instead of remembering the dead here, we should do something useful for the living." Edward turned around and said.

Although there was a trace of determination in his words, his face still showed the great sadness in his heart.

"Okay. What you said makes sense.

By the way, Edward, how did you know those people might have been created by forbidden magic?

You must know that that kind of magic has not appeared on this continent for at least a hundred years." The speaker this time was Merlin, who had been thinking about something ever since Edward mentioned forbidden magic.

"This...it's a long story." Edward shook his head, and then briefly told Merlin about the abandoned castle he and Ellie had in the outskirts of Oron.

At the same time, what is omitted is the past events with Yorke many years ago.

Only Ellie among the people present knew that Edward no longer wanted to touch the wounds of the past.

What's more, this wound has been deepened time and time again.

As Merlin listened to what Edward described, his brows furrowed more and more. After Edward finished speaking, Merlin still did not express his opinion for a long time, but was thinking carefully about something.

"Edward, show me that badge." After a while, Merlin finally spoke.

Edward nodded, took out the badge from his pocket and handed it to Merlin.

Merlin picked up the badge and looked at it carefully, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

"It seems like something big is going to happen this time." Merlincuo said with a slightly anxious expression. After thinking for a while, he put the badge in his pocket, "Edward, don't go to Calre again. Take Ellie and Xi

Lan get out of here."

"What! Leave here? Where to go?" Edward was quite surprised by Merlin's words.

"The situation is much more complicated and worse than imagined, and I don't have time to explain it to you now.

Anyway, take them away from here quickly, the further away the better!

I'm going to meet someone now. She will definitely know something about recent events.

I have to rush over and confirm something very important to her."

"But Merlin..." Edward was about to say something else, but Merlin immediately interrupted him, his expression looking quite anxious.

"There is no time. From here, go north to Odu or to the Free Alliance. Now there may be a big change in the Mercenary Kingdom.

And this big change may affect the entire Sebion. I must first figure out the reasons for everything before I can think of ways to solve them."

"I understand, then take care of yourself!" Seeing Merlin's mood getting worse, Edward also had a bad feeling in his heart. Things might be more complicated than he imagined.

After saying goodbye to Merlin, Edward took Ellie and Sheeran on their journey to the Northern Aldo Alliance.

After watching the three people running away, Merlin once again took out the badge engraved with the dark magic circle.

After a long silence, he turned his horse's head and hurried toward the south.

In a dense jungle in the northern part of the Mercenary Kingdom, Edward was running desperately with Ellie. Sheeran, who was with them, was lying on Ellie's shoulder, looking around nervously.

All I can say is that they were unlucky. The day after they separated from Merlin, they were attacked by the undead.

Originally, with the strength of Edward and Ellie, hundreds of undead people would not pose any threat to them. But who would have expected that after being attacked, the undead people would besiege them from all directions, and their number would increase.

In desperation, relying on Edward's domineering fighting spirit, he finally managed to find a way out and fled into a jungle. Finally, he was temporarily freed from the pursuit of the undead.

"I can't, Edward. I, I really can't run." Ellie said breathlessly.

Edward looked around. The undead didn't seem to be catching up, so he stepped forward and took Sheeran off Ellie's shoulders: "Let's take a rest. Those guys didn't seem to be catching up."

Sheeran also seemed to be apologetic and focused on releasing light healing magic to restore Ellie's strength.

Looking at Sheeran's expression, both Edward and Ellie were a little bit dumbfounded. The little guy in front of them could be considered a magic genius, but unfortunately he still lacked training and obviously lacked self-confidence.

Soon, Sheeran's recovery magic took effect, and Ellie, who had not rested for long, finally breathed.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Edward: "Edward, what should we do next? There are undead everywhere. It may be difficult to leave the Mercenary Kingdom now."

"I haven't thought of a good way to do this right now, so I'll just take it one step at a time." Edward shook his head, obviously he couldn't come up with any good way now.

After all, no matter how strong the sword master is, there is a limit. Facing tens of thousands of opponents, escape is obviously the best solution.

After the three of them rested for a while, they got up and planned to continue on their way.

Before they had gone far, a sharp arrow suddenly shot straight at them.

Edward had good eyesight and quick hands. He stretched out his left hand and held the arrow firmly in his hand.

"Who is it, come out quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Edward shouted at the place where the bow and arrow came from, and at the same time took off the Shadow Oath on his back.

"Are you humans?" A voice came out from the archery corner.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen an undead as handsome as me?" If it were normal times, Edward's words might have quite a comedic effect, but now no one could laugh.

"I'm very sorry. I just fired the arrow without seeing the person coming clearly." The archer said and jumped down from a big tree. "Because our mercenary group has been besieged for a long time since it encountered the undead army.

.so everyone is nervous..."

Edward didn't pay much attention to what the other person said, but he suddenly noticed the badge on the man's chest: "Are you from the Thunder Mercenary Group?"

"Yes, Your Excellency..." After confirming that Edward and others did not have any malicious intentions, the man finally put down his bow and arrow.

"I am the golden mercenary, Edward Trendo. Who is your current person in charge? If I remember correctly, don't the four major mercenary groups have to be stationed in Carré all year round?"

"It turns out to be Sir Edward! I can't explain the reason for what you asked just now. Why don't you talk to our deputy leader, and he will tell you the details." After hearing Edward's name, the eyes in front of him suddenly changed.

That person was obviously more respectful.

Edward nodded, and then followed the man with Ellie and Sheeran to a temporary camp on the top of the mountain.

"Bogosi, it's really you." After seeing Bogosi who was directing others to repair the surrounding fence in the camp, Edward immediately ran forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Edward, you, aren't you still in Auron? Why are you here?" Seeing Edward suddenly appear, Bogosi was also surprised.

Edward briefly explained to Bogosi the situation along the way, and their experiences made Bogosi feel very uneasy.

But before he could say anything, Edward asked first: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, as one of the four major mercenary groups, why don't you stay in Carré instead of staying in such a ghost place?"

"Oh, how should I put it? It can only be said that it is fate." Bogosi sighed, looking a little depressed, "Originally, I was ordered to exterminate the magical beasts in the area.

Because there was intelligence that a large number of magical beasts had appeared in this area, threatening the safety of passers-by, so I was assigned to solve the problem.

As a result, when I arrived here, I didn't see any so-called monsters. Instead, I was defeated by the undead.

Of the more than 3,000 brothers I brought out, there are now only four or five hundred left. I was originally surprised that no one came to support me even after sending an urgent request for advice to the regiment leader using a carrier pigeon. I wonder if the entire mercenary kingdom

It's all a big mess.

Alas, in this world, I don’t know if I can bring my brothers back to Kalei safely.”

Edward was about to comfort Bogesi with his words, when a scout ran into the camp in a panic. He shouted to Bogesi breathlessly: "Lord Bogesi, no, it's not good. I won't die."

The tribe is besieging us again."

After hearing what the scout said, Bogosi was immediately shocked.

He climbed up the watchtower as quickly as possible and found that a dense undead army composed of zombies and skeletons appeared all around. This army was slowly approaching their camp from north to south.

"Damn it." Bogosi cursed secretly and began to command his men to prepare for the undead army.

When the undead army had just approached the camp less than a kilometer away, countless rocks suddenly flew out from the camp. The undead at the front were immediately smashed into pieces by large rocks. What followed was an overwhelming barrage of rockets.

Arrow rain and various magics of magicians. Soon, the undead people left countless wrecks in front of the camp. But the emotionless undead creatures were obviously not intimidated, and soon countless skeletons and zombies were already there.

Rushed to the fence.

"The magician used a wall of fire to block the approaching undead and retreated to the inner wall. The soldiers were preparing to stand close." Bogosi pulled out his two swords and directed the fragile magicians to evacuate the front line.

Then the most brutal close combat of the battle began. However, Bogosi felt extremely lucky at this time, because the addition of Edward and Ellie improved the combat capability of the entire camp by more than one level.

Due to the scarcity of magicians and the encounter with the Silent Temple, there are only a few magicians in Bogosi's team, and most of them are level 3 rookie magicians, and there are only one or two level 4 magicians.

Just one.

Their role on the battlefield is not worth mentioning compared to Ellie, who holds the title of senior mage.

As a level 6 magician, the destructive power caused by the various high-level magics she cast was completely comparable to the combined power of a dozen level 3 and 4 magicians.

Edward, who was already at the sword master level, consolidated the front line of defense. The undead creatures were cut into two pieces in front of his shadow oath without even being able to survive a single move.

This allows the hunters and magicians in the back row to carry out long-range strikes with greater peace of mind.

The battle lasted until about evening. After paying the price of more than ten lives, the mercenary group finally wiped out all the invading undead creatures.

This price can be said to be the lowest in the days when Bogosi was besieged.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir! It's all thanks to your help this time that our losses were so small." After placing the injured, Bogosi said hello to Edward and Ellie, who were discussing something, to express his gratitude.

Indeed, the results of this battle are largely due to Edward and his party.

In fact, it was not only the role that Edward and Ellie played on the battlefield, but the little girl they brought also had a big surprise. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a priest who was proficient in top-level light magic.

Under her group healing magic, many seriously injured warriors finally saved their lives.

"We are all our own people everywhere, there is nothing to be polite about." Edward smiled at Bogosi, and then showed a slightly uneasy expression.

The boy worriedly said: "But, Bogosi, judging from the current situation, we can't stay here forever.

A very important point is that we have no way to obtain supplies. If the opponent keeps fighting like this, we simply cannot afford it."
