Chapter 7 Entering "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"

In 740 BC, the war between black and white wizards has entered a period of intense heat.

The wizards headed by Merlin, the leader of the white wizards, are about to start the final decisive battle with the black wizards headed by Mogana.

And at this moment, Horvath, one of Merlin's three major disciples, chose to fall to the dark camp, and he betrayed Merlin, the leader of the white wizard.

That night, with the help of Horvath, Morgana raided Merlin's castle and killed Merlin, the leader of the White Wizard.

Fortunately, Morgana did not win the final victory, because Merlin's other two disciples, Balthazar and Veronica, arrived in time.

In this battle, Veronica absorbed Morgana's soul at the cost of her body and sealed herself in the dark prison.

As he was dying, Merlin took off the dragon ring on his finger and told his disciple Balthazar.To really kill Morgana, one can only find his descendants, and this is the only way to save Veronica.

New York, 2000.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, hit a sycamore tree heavily, and set the whole tree ablaze.

Thick white smoke scattered in all directions, and many passers-by who saw this scene picked up their phones and wanted to call the police.No one noticed that a figure came out of the smoke and merged into the surrounding crowd.

"System, what time is it?"

Wu Ming adjusted the black robe on his body, lowered his head and blended into the crowd, and asked the system in his mind.

"In 2000, ten years before the main plot started, before the leading actor Dave officially came into contact with Balthazar."

"very good."

Wu Ming nodded silently, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and under the surprised gaze of the taxi driver, said, "Take me to Balthazar, an antique shop."

"Balthazar Antique Store, you are a real expert."

The taxi driver was a local, and he said in a very talkative way: "The store has a long history. It is said that my grandfather's grandfather had already established roots in New York when he was driving a horse-drawn carriage. By the way, did you see the lightning just now? Seeing that many people are heading there, it seems that something has been struck by lightning!"

Wu Ming lowered his head and did not speak, let alone answer the taxi driver.

Seeing that Wu Ming didn't want to talk, the taxi driver shrugged and drove the car into the vast city.

Sit in the car and drive to Balthazar's antique shop.

Wu Ming closed his eyes and meditated along the way, thinking about how to maximize his benefits and avoid getting involved in the war between black and white wizards.

Judging from the current time, the big family of the dark wizard is still under seal.Dave, the male protagonist in this world, has not yet met Balthazar, and there are still ten years before the official plot begins.

It has to be said that this moment is Wu Ming's best opportunity.

Wu Ming believes that as long as he can meet Balthazar, he will definitely gain something, because he has a bargaining chip that Balthazar cannot refuse.

"Sir, the antique store is here. It's a total of 22 dollars!"

The taxi stopped in an alley, Wu Ming raised his head and looked outside, he saw a two-story building.

Seeing that the destination has arrived, Wu Ming opened the car door and walked down, under the taxi driver's expression of seeing a ghost, he said: "I don't have any money, if you don't mind, you can go inside with me to get it. "

"Depend on"

Hearing Wu Ming's words, the taxi driver thumped the steering wheel, the expression on his face seemed to say, are you kidding me?

"If you want money, come here."

Wu Ming ignored the driver's expression, instead he closed the car door calmly, and while arranging his clothes, he walked towards the door of the antique shop.

jingle
Gently pushing open the door of the antique shop, the pleasant copper bells sounded.

Wu Ming walked into the antique shop first, followed by the taxi driver who came to ask for money, and both of them were looking at the layout inside.

All kinds of crowded antiques filled the entire hall.

There is only a passageway for one person to pass under the feet, and there are even some papers scattered on the ground, showing how lazy the owner is here.

"Sir, are you here to sell antiques?"

It was also the first time for the taxi driver to come here. He looked at the things here very curiously, and planned to raise his hand to touch the half-person-high clay pot beside him.

"stop."

Before the taxi driver's hand touched the clay pot, Wu Ming stopped him and shook his head, "This is something from the Hunter Dynasty. It is said that the second king of the Hunter Dynasty is a powerful He used this pot to imprison his wife for ten years, and it is said that anyone who opens this pot will be sucked into it and sealed for ten years."

"crack, clap, clap"

As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, there was a burst of applause.

The two looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a black windbreaker walking down the stairs while clapping, obviously agreeing with Wu Ming's statement.

"Strange friend, nice to meet you, your opinion is very correct."

"Thank you, I'm glad to meet you too, Balthazar!"

Wu Ming nodded slowly to the middle-aged man who was walking, especially when he said the name Balthazar, the whole room became strangely cold.

"This taxi driver sent me to you. If possible, can you help me pay the fare? I will thank you very much!" Wu Ming seemed to have not noticed the change in temperature, and pointed behind him The taxi driver still has the smile on his face when we first met.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want the money anymore."

The taxi driver also felt the strangeness here, waved his hands in a panic, and ran out of Balthazar's antique shop as if fleeing.

After the taxi driver left, frost began to form around the antique shop, where the temperature had plummeted.

Wu Ming glanced indifferently for a week, and his eyes finally settled on Balthazar's hand, where there was a glowing yellow gemstone ring.

"My name is Wu Ming, and I am also a white wizard. I know the whereabouts of Merlin's successor."

boom.
As soon as Wu Ming's words came out of his mouth, a magical ray of light came swiftly and directly hit Wu Ming's body.

This magical energy is not used to attack, but to imprison.

Wu Ming, who was hit by the magic, was sealed in a stream of water, and in front of him was Balthazar who showed murderous intent.

"Where is Merlin's successor?"

Different from the personable manner when we first met, Balthazar at this time was full of danger, and his whole person was like a roaring beast.

Wu Ming quietly looked into Balthazar's eyes. Under such a disadvantage, he didn't panic, but smiled a little.

"It's a deal, Balthazar!"

"Deal! Humph, you'd better not lie to me."

After a few seconds of confrontation, Balthazar waved his hand, and the water imprisoning Wu Ming disappeared.

Wu Ming, who got out of trouble, took off the hood on his head with his hands, and he was not surprised by Balthazar's reaction.

During the 300 years after Merlin's death, Balthazar has been looking for Merlin's successor and never gave up.

The reason why Wu Ming chose to join the White Wizard's camp was because he knew Balthazar, and he was crazy to want to find the heir of Merlin.And Wu Ming, who entered the plot world in advance, can use this to add a heavy bargaining chip for himself.

"Balthazar, I know where Merlin's successor is. But, I am a magician without inheritance, and I need the Book of Merlin."

"No, the Book of Merlin is not a trade item."

Wu Ming was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth, and met Balthazar's angry gaze.

The Book of Merlin is the treasure of the lineage of the white wizard Merlin, and it records many incomparable spells.

If it wasn't for Wu Ming's claim that he knew the whereabouts of Merlin's successor, Balthazar really wanted to use a magic spell to beat this person out.

"Balthazar, you give me the Book of Merlin, and I'll give you the whereabouts of the heir of Merlin. This is our deal!"

Wu Ming bit hard on the word "transaction", and then said again: "I don't need to take the book of Merlin, I just need to make a copy. And you, will end the millennium of waiting, and bring back the successor of Merlin Home."

The words Merlin's successor hit Balthazar's heart like a sledgehammer.

Balthazar was short of breath, and he could no more resist such a temptation than a mouse could resist cheese.

"I swear, I want you to swear, the information you said is absolutely true. And, after you get the Book of Merlin, you won't fall for those dark wizards!"

"Okay, I swear!"

Wu Ming agreed very happily, and said word by word: "I swear, the information I have is absolutely true. I swear, I will not fall to Morgana!"

As soon as the oath was spoken, a magical contract appeared.

On the magic contract, Wu Ming's words were recorded in words, and under the burning of the blue flame, it turned into a vow spell.

"You are very cautious!"

Wu Ming watched the magic contract burn out. He hadn't mastered this kind of magic yet, and it was obviously used by Balthazar.

"I just don't trust strangers, I've had enough of betrayal!"

Balthazar snorted coldly, then grabbed it with his right hand, and a simple black book flew over in an instant.

The Book of Merlin, on the cover of the quaint book, there are four large characters of the Book of Merlin.

Wu Ming looked at the book eagerly. What he lacked were magic spells and the inheritance left by powerful mages.

It is conceivable that only with more spells and a systematic magic inheritance can Wu Ming go further.As for Merlin, the legendary master of magic, his inheritance will definitely not disappoint.

"Tell me, where is Merlin's descendant."

Balthazar stroked the magic book with his right hand, and asked Wu Ming in a cold voice.

Wu Ming withdrew his gaze from the Book of Merlin, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "In New York, Brooklyn, there is a boy named Dave Debusschere."

"Whoosh!"

Following Wu Ming's answer, the oath contract regarding Merlin's heir automatically ended, showing that Wu Ming's words were not false.

Looking at the corner of the contract that disappeared, Balthazar heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of his burden.

It's not a good feeling to have been searching aimlessly for 300 years.

At this moment, he had grasped the news of Merlin's heir, Balthazar heaved a sigh of relief, and finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.

"Take the magic book and get out of here."

Balthazar pulled hard, turning one magic book into two.

This is a very clever duplication magic. The only regret is that the copied magic book does not have the powerful magic power of the genuine one.

"Any advice for me?"

Taking over the copied Book of Merlin, Wu Ming couldn't wait to flip through two pages, and asked Balthazar.

"You need a spell-casting tool, which can increase your strength." Balthazar glanced at Wu Ming, said no more after saying this, and put on a posture that you can leave.

"If I have any questions, can I ask you for advice, after all, I am also a mage of Merlin's lineage!"

"this!"

Balthazar was a little hesitant, but considering the Book of Merlin, he reluctantly nodded: "If I'm not busy, you can come and find me."

"thank you very much."

Wu Ming, who got the answer he wanted, bowed slightly to Balthazar with the mage etiquette he learned from Gargamel.

Possessing the magic book gave Wu Ming a step up.And being able to get Balthazar's guidance will also save Wu Ming a lot of detours.

Wu Ming knew that Balthazar's advice to him was mostly for the sake of helping him find Merlin's successor, and a few of them were because Wu Ming would also learn the Book of Merlin, which left a good impression on Balthazar.

But I have to say that no matter what purpose Balthazar has, this is a great prize for Wu Ming.Because knowledge is priceless, and those who can answer knowledge should be respected.
