Chapter 236: Nothing Good Happens to the Main Character

Merlin feels very helpless.

Sophia’s condition was something she noticed from the beginning. One little mistake, and the Church of Dawn Goddess took her away.

She is truly a child of the gods, and there’s nothing wrong to find; Sophia is only fit to be a vessel and doesn’t have any high-level divine qualities.

The summoning ceremony is usually a ritual of a cult; the Church of the Dawn Goddess would not use you, Sophia, for summoning.

But this is where Merlin needs to think of a way to make Sophia’s identification happen in the sunlight.

Otherwise, with the power of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, hiding Sophia would be incredibly easy.

At that moment, both Merlin and Celica furrowed their brows.

A sense of restraint made them both very uneasy.

"What’s going on? Why has the magic energy in the air decreased?" Merlin suddenly looked at Celica.

Buzz!

A long sword appeared in Celica’s hand, the tip pointed straight at Merlin.

"I want to ask you, what do you want? Are you trying to take someone?" Celica stared fiercely at Merlin.

The knight and Pastor saw this and each summoned their weapons, aiming at Merlin.

Among the eighth-tier, there are not more than five who can match Celica, one of them is definitely Minaret, and the other is the Merlin in front of her.

After facing Minaret, Celica is now very alert.

She is also quite wary of a master like Merlin.

"It’s not me who did it; my magic is also weakening," Merlin’s face changed, "You shouldn’t be looking at me right now; you should be investigating what is happening."

"I don’t trust you," Celica said firmly, "You two, go find out what is going on."

"Sir…"

"A dual-practice Pastor wizard, at this close distance, I can hold her down." Celica noticed that Merlin was indeed losing magic power, or else Celica would have had to act directly.

"Yes!"

The pastor and the knight quickly left the room.

Celica and Merlin seemed to sense something, and they turned to look at a room together.

Sophia and Neymar could not see anyone else, so they stayed together; now they were together.

The two of them realized that a powerful magic was gathering in that direction!

……

Karoso stood with his hands in his pockets, watching a helicopter fly away; it was the one carrying Second Prince Easley.

Easley did not trick Karoso; he quickly arranged for a plane to pick him up, ready to return to the Presea Empire to prepare.

Saaya leaned against the wall of the boat, mocking, "You don’t think he genuinely wants to befriend you, do you? No matter how brilliant you are, in his eyes, you are just a pawn."

"Does that mean I am more valuable than Second Brother?" Karoso turned to Saaya and said, "Second Brother, you are already so grown up, yet you are only at the sixth tier; it’s a bit embarrassing. Do you believe that right now, you can’t even beat me, who is much younger than you?"

Saaya took a sharp breath and said fiercely, "When you reach the sixth tier yourself, you’ll understand how hard it is to break through to the seventh tier. The record for climbing from fourth tier to sixth tier is only three days! Can’t beat you? Don’t be silly! You know how you got to the fifth tier. If it weren’t for using tricks, how could you have improved so quickly?"

"Three days to reach the sixth tier? That was done with Magic Potions, and that record was broken by a little girl." Karoso thought of Sophia.

"Hmph, anyway, don’t think that his friendship with you is a good thing." Saaya sneered, "He has been sowing discord between us the whole time, aiming for Canglang Province."

"Do you know why we were both chosen to send him off? He wants to show us that he can choose any one of us, depending on how we prove our worth and who can bring him more benefits."

"Do we need to create discord between us?" Karoso looked up at the sky. "Second Brother, I know you dislike me, but I know even better that you won’t betray Canglang Province."

"If I am your imagined enemy, you should understand that I won’t betray Canglang Province either. That is our shared bottom line."

"As for the rest, even if you send someone to assassinate me, I won’t mind, as long as you can hide it from Father and from me."

"I will also tell you that you will never be able to get rid of me."

Saaya was momentarily stunned.

He clearly did not expect Karoso to say this so confidently.

Indeed, Saaya hated Grand Duke Osiris, hated the way he treated them differently, hated that he did not value the lives of the other two children, and hated that he did not know when he would be cast aside.

Saaya hated Karoso, hated his brilliance, and hated that he took away all of the duke’s affection.

But the education he received since childhood made it impossible for Saaya to betray Canglang Province.

"We really do not need to turn against each other, my dear brother. I will make you lose everything you have someday." Saaya turned his head away.

"I know." Karoso said, "The tunnel you dug near the manor, I had father seal it up."

"You…" Saaya’s expression changed.

This matter was very secret; how did Karoso find out?

"Second Brother, you are not my match." Karoso shook his head, "You should see further."

"Do you know why Father chose me and not you? Because your vision… is too small."

"Hmph, it’s just a few tunnels. What happens in the future depends on the future." Saaya forced himself to calm down.

Those tunnels are the only work he has right now.

He had just met Easley and had not yet been able to settle in Canglang Province.

The resources Osiris gave him were far too few.

"Hmm?" Karoso suddenly sniffed and frowned, "What’s going on? Why has the Magic Factor in the air decreased?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Magic Factor can’t decrease." Saaya looked at him with disdain.

As soon as Karoso finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly rose from the sea, appearing as quickly as the fog Karoso encountered in the dungeon.

Karoso reached out to feel the fog.

It is a bit like the Lord of Eternity, but different.

Karoso took a deep breath.

Is this what the bullet comment was talking about? Has the story begun?

"The Magic Factor has decreased, but it doesn’t really affect me," Karoso said with a frown. "I just don’t know if it affects the higher levels…"

"What is happening? The Magic Factor has indeed decreased." Saaya’s face changed, and he suddenly looked at Karoso.

Karoso actually noticed it before him!

Clearly, Karoso is only at the fifth tier. Why is that?

"The second prince just left, and now this mist has appeared?" Karoso looked into the distance.

[Wow, something really went wrong.]

[Following Sophia, the main character, leads to trouble.]

[The update is finished, let’s get started.]

[The legacy of the Pirate King.]

[I saw the story scene; Easley was there, and there was an eighth-tier expert beside him.]

[Null and 『』 were also there.]

[Oh no, that’s not right. Null and 『』 and Easley were not there; this isn’t the scene in front of me.]

[Damn it, 『』 is taking care of Master Karoso’s business. Easley left because of Master Karoso’s card, and now we are missing three eighth-tiers!]
