Chapter 547 Sacrifice (Second)

According to the agreement between the Venerable and Merlin, Merlin needs to take Salomon to the en-Galai dimension. There are seals arranged by the Mother Earth and most of the members of the Merlin Wizard Group. Even for the mystics of Kama Taj, this is a rare internship opportunity. Although Merlin really settled down a lot under the watchful eye of the supreme mage, but this half-blooded nightmare always wanted to come up with some new tricks.

He refused to go to a safe place through Karma Taj's cosmic portal, and then to the En-Gala dimension through the small portal he opened. On a whim, he wanted to reach the weak point of the material universe and the astral world through the real universe, and jump directly into En-Gala from there. No matter how many punches the venerable gave, Merlin could not dispel this absurd idea.

Moreover, Merlin also planned to take the heir of the Merlin school who was sent to the hospital by his drinking, and let him contact the Merlin wizard group there. So both Salomon and Dave took long vacations from their schools. Although with the help of the alchemy potion, Dave's complexion looked better, but the effects of the hangover often lasted for several days. He looked pale and his lips were cracked. He really needed to rest for a while.

Merlin summoned urgently, but he still gave Dave some time to say goodbye to his relatives and friends.

"Isn't it a short trip?" Dave asked suspiciously, "Kama Taj also has a cosmic portal!"

Balthazar hesitated, and finally, with Veronica's help, he told Dave the truth. "You are going to receive training, child." He said, "Go to the dimension where the Great Phantom is imprisoned, and go there to maintain the sealing circle arranged by the Mother Earth Goddess Gaia. The members of the Merlin Wizards are all there, and you have to stay and study there. You can learn a lot there, and Merlin will teach you personally, more than I can teach you, and you will become the High Priest of the Merlin Wizards."

"How long will it take?" Dave glanced at Balthazar with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The time in the astral world is chaotic, especially when you need to pass through many outer dimensions. There will be a discrepancy between your somatosensory time and the real world. You have already experienced this time difference in hell." The venerable said earnestly, "If Merlin messes around, don't begrudge the power of the holy sword. Protect Dave, he is your sword-bearer, this is a tradition."

Salomon patted the enamel and gold scabbard hanging on his waist, and swore to His Holiness. This thing called the holy sword, which is actually a star-destroying weapon, is put together with almost all the magic scrolls he has copied over the years, which is enough to deal with all situations as small as black tea getting cold, as large as encountering a star beast. In terms of escape, Salomon is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

The venerable also asked Salomon not to have too much respect for Merlin, otherwise the half-blood nightmare would get ahead and cause a lot of trouble. Immediately afterwards, the Venerable took out the Eye of Agamotto, used the Time Stone to cast a spell on Salomon, and at the same time left another spell in his hand. Salomon quickly saw the usefulness of this spell—it was used to form space-time bubbles around the subject and reset time in a limited space. To explain it in a scientific way, that is to make the subject produce a "drag effect", and maintain a non-static and stable distribution of mass-energy with the casting time of this spell. In other words, this spell will eventually drag Salomon back and readjust the time difference between him and the real universe.

"Time is the most ruthless blade." His Holiness said, "This trip is undoubtedly cruel for you young people. Maybe you spent hundreds of years there, and the main material universe is only a few minutes, or it's completely the opposite. I can only use the time stone to cast this spell for you and protect you and Dave."

"I wanted to go instead of you, but the teacher didn't think I was as talented as you. I'm sorry, Dave..."

"OMG! OMG!" Dave hugged his head in pain, "You mean, everyone I know may be dead when I get back? Including Becky?"

"Not necessarily, we can ask the Supreme Mage for help." Balthazar shrugged, "The Eye of Agamotto can solve your problem, I promise. Hey, listen! This time Salomon will go with you, he will not let you have an accident! But if his life is in danger...Dave, you have to save him with your life! This is the responsibility of the Merlin School! I know it sounds very unreasonable, but you have to do it!"

"Balthazar!" Veronica blocked Dave behind her, but Dave was still immersed in the cruel truth Balthazar said, and did not notice the anger on Veronica's face at all. She is still not used to modern clothes, and still wears a complicated and gorgeous witch dress. "Do you want to see what happened between us repeated on your disciple?" She asked, "Is this what you want? Damn Merlin, his pranks have tortured you for a thousand years! Why do you still listen to him!"

"I don't want to either, Veronica!" Balthazar's expression twisted in pain, "But he has to do it! He is a sword bearer! We must protect this universe, we must protect human beings. Each of us must sacrifice a part."

"Camelo is gone! Camelot and King Arthur no longer exist!"

"Our king is still here, Veronica. The Merlin School will always be loyal to the throne, including you and me, including Dave." Balthazar took a deep breath, and his will became firmer. "I am dying, and Dave must take responsibility for what we have done. Whether it is Morgan Le Fay or Dormammu, whether it is the Great Shadow or Nightmare, Dave must have the courage to fight against it. Salomon Damonet has such courage, we also have it, and Dave must have it too! He must sacrifice himself without hesitation, in exchange for the future of mankind!"

"I..." Dave stood up from behind Veronica tremblingly, and he took a deep breath. "I'll do it. I...I need time to say goodbye to Becky!" The courage from nowhere suddenly filled his chest, but he quickly withered away like a deflated balloon, "Damn it! What the hell am I talking about! God, what the hell am I talking about!"

"I knew you could do it, Dave!" Balthazar patted his disciple's shoulder worriedly. The joy and worry in his heart were mixed into a mottled mud, gurgling and bubbling hot bubbles, squeezing tears from the corners of his eyes, "The Supreme Mage and I will try our best to help you avoid the problem of time. Don't worry, with the Supreme Mage here, Merlin's prank will not be too bad! Just tell Becky that you are going on a business trip! Veronica, what do you think of inviting Becky to have a meal with us?"

"I can't cheat a young girl, you still have to do this kind of thing." Veronica snorted. She didn't want the last disciple of the Merlin School to make sacrifices in this matter, and she didn't want to see Merlin again. She just wanted to live a quiet and stable life, even if she lost all her magic. She had made the sacrifice, and she thought it was enough.

"Okay, Dave, wipe away your tears. This is the destiny of us spellcasters. Magic is not something you get for nothing. You need something to exchange for it. It could be life, it could be feelings, it could be time, anything is possible."

Ask for a ticket!
