The fierce battle (above)

　　Kia also stopped, turned around and whispered, "It's like this, Mr. Etta actually had something given to me, I didn't know what it was at first, when I got back yesterday, I opened it up and found a message from Mr. Etta on it, asking me to pass it on to you."

　　"You have Miss Etta's things?"

　　With his eyes fixed straight on Kia, Merlin continued, "Where's the stuff?"

　　"I've hidden the stuff in a hidden place, so come with me."

　　After saying that, Kia turned around and left.

　　Merlin narrowed his eyes, staring at Kia's back, and eventually followed Kia's lead.

　　Just after walking out of the small building, Moss came up and asked, "Young Master Merlin, do you need to use the carriage?"

　　Merlin waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go out for a while, you just wait here."

　　Moss saw Merlin going out with a pretty woman, so he also had the good sense not to ask any more questions and went back to the carriage.

　　So Kia and Merlin, both on foot, turned a few street corners and finally arrived at a courtyard with a pleasant environment.

　　"Let's go, the stuff is inside."

　　Kia's eyes flashed with a glimmer of imperceptible essence and led Merlin into the courtyard.

　　The yard is very empty, with only a few large bare trees, but there is no snow on the ground, indicating that someone is cleaning the place regularly.

　　There are several stone stairs in the courtyard, and stepping onto them is a large door that appears to be a living room.

　　The gate was closed, Kia came to the gate, suddenly turned around, frowned and said, "Merlin, the stuff is inside, why did you stop?"

　　Merlin stopped in his tracks, he looked up at the closed door and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

　　"Kia, how many people are in the house?"

　　Jiya was slightly stunned, but still looked very calm and said, "This is a secret stronghold of mine, and I am the only one who knows about it."

　　"Is that so? Then let me try."

　　The words fell, Merlin's side instantly appeared two balls of fire, floating quietly in the air, emitting a frightening temperature.

　　"Lord Lorraine, do it!"

　　Kia immediately yelled, the whole person is extremely fast back toward the house, but Merlin's speed is faster, floating in the air two balls of fire, with Merlin's spiritual guidance, quickly to Kia, leaving a trace of black smoke in mid-air.

　　"Bang Bang".

　　Two crunching sounds, one of the fireballs smashed directly into Kia's thigh, but she seemed to be prepared, with a small shield in her hand, just in time to block the fireball, but because the fireball was exploded, the strong impact, directly into the house, life and death.

　　There is also a ball of fire is hit the sturdy door, searing heat, directly burned a large hole in the door.

　　"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."

　　A series of black arrows from the house, shot out, these black arrows are very short, spread over the sky, at a glance you know that not a bow and arrow, but a strong crossbow.

　　The arrows were fast and overwhelming, nearly ten at once. The spell model within Merlin's sea of knowledge vibrated violently, and two more fireballs appeared.

　　Merlin hurriedly jumped backward, followed by two fireballs instantly exploded, the powerful impact of the flying arrows were blown into a few pieces, have fallen to the ground.

　　The courtyard was quiet again, and Merlin looked warily into the house as a figure slowly walked outside and stood on the stone steps, looking down at Merlin from above.

　　"I can't believe you found out ... Are we showing a breach here, or is there something wrong with Kia?"

　　Smoke and dust dispersed, Merlin can clearly see the appearance of the figure on the stone stairs, this is a middle-aged man of forty years old, nearly two meters tall, very stout, full of complexion, holding a large sword in his hand, there is a strong sense of oppression, as if a dormant beast.

　　The spell model inside Merlin's sea of consciousness was absorbing the fire element from the outside world with all its might. He had just cast the fireball spell a total of four times, and the gray horizontal box had turned red, meaning that the Great Fireball spell could be triggered.

　　"Kia is lying to me, and why am I not using her? Her words were full of holes, and the only reason I didn't kill her in Aita-sensei's hut was because I wanted her to draw you out."

　　"Although the Church of Light is dangerous, they won't pay attention to tiny Blackwater City, so I will be safe. You, on the other hand, are different. You know my identity and are a major hidden danger that must be gotten rid of!"

　　Merlin's tone also became indifferent, in fact, at the time of the old man Aita hut, Merlin has recognized Jiya's lies, but if you kill Jiya then, may Jiya behind the people of the Black Moon Kingdom, will follow the trail to his body.

　　That's why Merlin let Jiya go for the time being, and put a plan in place to prepare the people of the Black Moon Kingdom behind Jiya, and wipe them out.

　　The bearded man's face was calm, and said indifferently: "Young spellcaster, you are indeed very smart, but you spellcasters are all the same, self-righteous and arrogant, especially this old man, Aita, who did not even listen to my orders, for a spellcasting tool, not only left Blackwater City without permission, but also secretly took you as a disciple. Hmph, count on his early death, otherwise, I will let him know that spell casters are nothing!"

　　The aura on the man's body once again surged, a powerful oppressive force came to the surface, this oppressive force let Merlin also felt the danger, the other party is certainly not ordinary elemental swordsman, it is possible that the elemental swordsman above the third level.

　　Moreover, from the other party's words, Merlin seemed to feel that the bearded man was extremely dissatisfied with old man Etta, and even vaguely had deep prejudice against spellcasters.

　　This is a person who is also very disgusted with spell casters.

　　"How can you compare with Mr. Aita? Cut the crap, fight to know!"

　　Merlin also no more nonsense, his hand slightly raised, a ball of fire "whoosh" and flew towards the bearded man.

　　The fireball has not yet come close to the man with the beard, the other party stomped his foot, as if the whole small courtyard is shaking in general, his body surface, in the blink of an eye rose up a raging flame.

　　The flames were half a meter high, almost burning and distorting the air, this was a powerful third level flame swordsman!

　　The most powerful elemental swordsman he had ever seen before was the Borg swordsman who followed the Church's Mage Jason to Blackwater City some time ago, but the Borg swordsman was only a second-level elemental swordsman, nowhere near as powerful as the man in front of him.

　　"Hey, zero level spell fireball spell? Young spellcaster, let you see the power of a flame swordsman to manipulate fire, Flame Chop!"

　　The bearded man raised his sword in his hand, as if he was not afraid of the fireball emitting a terrifying temperature, the sword in his hand cut down directly and viciously forward.
