I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 327 Awakening

Elesis closed her eyes and said calmly, "A catastrophe is about to occur in the continent of Sebion, and the key to this catastrophe lies in you - Ellie Achilles.

For you and for Sebion, Merlin would risk his own life and gamble on the chaotic and dark unknown future.

For such a goal, he will search for the Philosopher's Stone for you.

The Philosopher's Stone is in your body now, so what I said is right."

Ellie looked at the sage's gem in her hand and said with some confusion: "If the teacher doesn't look for this gem, I will..."

"That's right. That's why Merlin is so desperate. In fact, why don't I hope that Merlin can survive? In fact, I am more..."

In the middle of speaking, Elesis suddenly shook her head and swallowed the rest of her words.

"Teacher does it for me...Teacher does it for me. No!" Ellie repeated Elesis's words dully, tears burst into her eyes again, "No, I don't want it. If I can trade my life for the teacher, I would rather

I don’t want the teacher to die even if I lose my life!”

"Pah!" Elesis was a little annoyed and slapped Ellie hard in the face, who was still crying. "That's enough, what's the use of crying? Can Merlin come back to life by crying?"

Elesis looked at Ellie with a look of hatred, "Listen carefully, Merlin is dead, but you are still alive.

Merlin gave his life in exchange for your rebirth, you should cherish it, because you no longer live just for yourself.

You must shoulder everything Merlin entrusts to you and live well, do you understand?"

"Then, what should I do now?" Ellie covered her beaten face while trying to stop herself from crying.

Elesis looked at Ellie, then sighed and continued: "Go to Pharos Mountain.

Go back to the place where you and Merlin first met. There are clues that you have lost your memory.

Remember, your lost memory, like the Philosopher's Stone, will be the key to Sebion's survival in the near future, so you must retrieve it. Do you understand?"

"My past?" Ellie looked at the distance with some confusion at the moment - the sky that had become gray due to the volcanic eruption.

"Ellie, Ellie. Open the door quickly.

You haven't eaten for three days. If you continue like this, I'm worried that you will really end up with..." Just when Edward was about to say the word Merlin, he still hesitated and swallowed the rest of his words.

Of course he knew Merlin's status in Ellie's mind. He took Ellie back and raised her after losing her memory, taught her magic and all kinds of knowledge, etc. Merlin was not so much Ellie's teacher as he was her

's father would be more appropriate.

Now Merlin's sudden death, and the death was caused by his own reasons, made Ellie find it difficult to accept.

Thinking of this, a melancholy expression appeared on Edward's face. He finally sighed and said, "Forget it, Ellie.

I'll leave the food at your door, you... you can figure it out yourself. Also, Merlin's death is not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself.

And the way you look now, I think Merlin would feel sad if he saw you like this."

With that said, Edward gently placed the tray with food in his hand at the door of Ellie's room, then turned around and sat down gently on the stairs.

"Maybe if she is left alone for a while, she will be fine after a while." Edward thought as he turned around and left.

"Sir, please believe me, this leather armor is definitely worth the money..." Just as he reached the door, Edward heard the innkeeper selling goods to several adventurers.

"That guy must have received a lot of kickbacks from the owner of the equipment store in the town, otherwise why would he be so enthusiastic about selling those defective products?" The more Edward listened to the boss's sales, the more disgusting he felt. But the more important thing is that the core of lava has already been

After disappearing into Sabion, the boss still kept the same old lines and didn't say anything about the fact that the adventurer's way to make a fortune had disappeared. It was really evil enough.

However, with the attitude of not caring about the matter, Edward obviously did not reveal the innkeeper's mood. At the moment, how to cheer Ellie up again was his main consideration.

So he thought as he passed by the boss and the travelers, planning to go out to the tavern to relieve his current depressed mood.

The moment he passed by those adventurers, an unnoticed sneer appeared on one of the adventurers' faces.

Walking to the door of the tavern, Edward was about to push the door open when his hand that was about to hold the door suddenly dropped. "You guys, come out. Although the performance was good, but..."

Edward shouted loudly while looking around warily.

Just when Edward finished speaking, the pedestrians who were rarely seen on the street disappeared without a trace.

As soon as the people in the town saw Edward's posture, they knew something was wrong. With the attitude of doing more, it would be better to do less, they quickly ran back to their homes and closed the doors and windows tightly.

At this moment, several black objects quickly flew out of the window of the tavern and hit Edward directly.

Edward didn't think much of it at first, but when the object was approaching him, he felt something strange about it and immediately stepped aside.

Just as the thing hit the ground, there was a loud noise.

The huge impact of the subsequent explosion scattered debris on the ground.

"It's gunpowder." Seeing this, Edward was glad that he didn't touch the object directly, but this also made him more suspicious, "It is indeed you, come out, shadow killers.

"

Being able to recognize that the thing was gunpowder was not because Edward was well-informed, but because he had seen Merlin study that thing before.

But later, after Merlin discovered that this kind of thing could produce explosive power without using magic chants, he basically gave up on further research.

They just handed those things over to the mercenary kingdom and let them deal with them on their own.

Although not many people know about it, Edward is one of the insiders.

"As expected of a golden mercenary, you can actually tell at a glance that it is a bomb made of gunpowder.

But even now, you can't fly without wings." Suddenly a voice sounded from nowhere. Just as he finished speaking, more bombs flew towards him.

But now that he already knew what those things were, Edward was naturally aware of their power. After pulling out the Shadow Oath from his back and completely instilling his fighting spirit into it, the sword immediately began to glow with golden light.

Under the pressure generated by the fighting spirit, those bombs exploded before they even touched the blade of Shadow Oath, and the shock wave generated was directly blocked by Edward's fighting spirit.

"You want to hurt me just because of this. Lord Tiko is looking down on me." Edward said with some pride after easily getting rid of those annoying bombs.

But just as he finished speaking, he felt something strange behind him.

Suddenly, a killer sneaked up behind him at some point, but just as he stabbed Edward in the back with the dagger in his hand, Edward turned sharply and just missed the fatal blow.

Then he grabbed the killer's wrist and squeezed it hard. Under his strength, only a "click" sound was heard, and the killer could not hold his dagger.

Then, before he could shout, Edward hit him in the face with an elbow.

The killer who suffered severe injuries was immediately knocked unconscious to the ground.

But when the killer was knocked to the ground, several more figures jumped out from the corner and threw bombs in their hands at Edward from all directions.

Seeing that the opponent had a large number of people, Edward did not panic. He targeted the side with relatively few bombs, sprinted to avoid the attack, and then used the surrounding walls to jump towards a killer who had just landed.

Although the killer was well prepared for Edward's surprise attack, his resistance seemed futile in the face of Edward's overwhelming fighting spirit.

It was just a simple straight thrust. Although the killer blocked it with his dagger, the strong fighting spirit still smashed his sword into pieces and knocked him to the ground.

But just when Edward was about to step forward and give the killer the final blow, several other killers had already felt that crossbows, arrows, and darts were all coming towards him.

In desperation, Edward had to give up the immediate goal and turn back to deal with the others.

Although Edward was far stronger than those killers, due to his taboo on some of the killers' special weapons, plus the fact that the opponent had a large number of people and would not confront him head-on, the two sides had been in a stalemate.

Although occasionally an unlucky killer is shot by Edward, there are always others who come to the rescue in time.

"The leader of the shadows should know that it is unrealistic for these people to want to touch me, but why..." Suddenly Edward felt something strange, "Oops, it turns out that their target is the hotel."

Just when Edward was about to rush towards the hotel, the leader wearing a white tights was none other than Tiko, the leader of the Shadow Killers.

I saw the hidden weapon in his hand, and the explosives hit Edward like raindrops, cutting off his way.

At the same time, Ellie was sitting blankly in front of the window alone, staring blankly at the sky.

The teacher who had taken care of her for four years and was like a father died like this without even leaving a body. Such a blow was really too big for her.

If it weren't for what Elesis said, Ellie would probably even have thoughts of death at this moment.

"Go find your lost memory, it will be one of the keys to the future of Sebion."

Elesis's last words before leaving were always echoing in Ellie's mind.

"Are my past memories really that important? If I can use it to save my teacher, I would rather not have memories that I can't recall for the rest of my life."

Thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help but shed tears.

But at this moment, the light emitted by the sage's gem hanging on her chest began to become unusually soft at some point, as if it was comforting Ellie.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and then two crossbow arrows were shot at Ellie, who had not yet reacted, like poisonous snakes. Out of a subconscious reaction, Ellie dodged to the side.

One of the crossbow arrows was almost close to her neck, firmly nailed to the wall behind her.

"Who are you?" Ellie looked quite panicked when she saw this group of uninvited guests.

But the person outside the door didn't reply at all, and had no intention of giving her time to figure out everything in front of her.

The two killers, one behind the other, rushed toward her with short swords in hand.

In the small room, Ellie, as a magician, obviously suffered a lot. In addition, she had not eaten enough for several days, and she looked quite tired.

Facing two experienced killers, Ellie's resistance seems feeble.

Within a few rounds, the two killers had cornered Ellie, ready to stab her chest with the sharp knives in their hands.

Just when Ellie had closed her eyes and was waiting to die, she suddenly felt an amazing power burst out of her body.

When she opened her eyes again, one of the killers was knocked against the wall at some point and looked badly injured, while the other one looked at her with horrified eyes.

It was at this moment that Ellie discovered that a looming white barrier had appeared beside her. It was that barrier that shook away the killer who had just attacked her, and she saved her life.

.

"Is this..."

Ellie looked at the barrier beside her with some confusion, then she lowered her head and looked at the Philosopher's Gem hanging around her neck.

At this moment, it was continuously emitting white light, as if it was protecting her.

"It's the teacher, it's the teacher who is protecting me." Ellie thought, and began to struggle hard to get up from the ground again, "Yes, I can't die like this, otherwise the teacher will be very disappointed. I will definitely live well.

Go down, teacher, don’t worry, Ellie won’t hesitate anymore.”

At this time, the light surrounding her began to dissipate, and the killer was obviously aware of this.

He rushed forward again. After all, close combat was not a magician's specialty.

But this time he completely miscalculated. When he rushed forward, Ellie had already launched several ice arrows, and the sage's gem around her neck was shining brightly.

"I will not admit defeat. I will continue to fight, for myself and for the teacher's expectations of me." After a scream, the unlucky killer was beaten like a sieve by Ellie's ice arrows, and then directly

It flew to the wall on the side.

But at the last moment when he flew out, the killer took out a small black ball from his arms and smashed it to the ground hard.

Then, only a loud "bang" was heard, and Ellie's room was blown up beyond recognition by explosives.

Fortunately, Ellie jumped out of the window just before the explosion and escaped fatal injury.

However, things were not as easy as Ellie imagined. When she just landed, a dozen killers appeared around her, almost all of them shooting crossbows, darts and other hidden weapons at Ellie at the same time.

But at this moment, Ellie is no better than before. With the blessing of the Sage's Gem, her power at this moment has far exceeded the level of a sixth-level magician.

"Wind spirit, please dance with me and turn into a protective shield."
