Chapter 79: The Holy Sword Master of the Merlin Family
It takes a one-hour drive from Maple Leaf King City to the abyss.
Lin Feng got on Taylor's carriage and headed along the trade route.
Before noon, we arrived at the entrance to the abyss.
The appearance of the boundary monument of Black Rock City in the abyss dungeon is no longer a secret and has long attracted people from all over the empire.
After Lin Feng got off the bus, he looked around and saw crowds of people.
Even if top stars come here, they will be drowned in the crowd and look inconspicuous.
"Where is the entrance to the abyss?"
"Over there, on that high platform where the priest stands."
Lin Feng looked in the direction Taylor pointed.
At ten o'clock on the two sides, there was a high platform, surrounded by three layers of walls inside and outside.
About a dozen priests stood in two rows, facing each other.
Behind them was a stone doorway through which people kept passing through the procession of priests and disappearing into the doorway.
"That's the entrance to the abyss. The people guarding the gate are the Merlin family's private army. You know the reason." Taylor raised his eyebrows.
Lin Feng felt as disgusting as if he had eaten shit.
The death of Merlin's 800 private soldiers had nothing to do with him.
Now the whole city is talking about it, and his name has appeared in the news in the royal capital more than once.
This pot lid is really big.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance.
The crowd separated to both sides like ripples in a torrent.
I saw a team of hundreds of knights stopped at the entrance of the abyss. Leading them was a knight in golden armor riding a warhorse, holding a long sword, looking down from above.
The sudden appearance of the knight team immediately caused discussion among the crowd.
Lin Feng also squeezed to the front with Taylor at this time.
When Lin Feng saw the owl pattern on the other person's clothes, he immediately recognized the other person's identity.
Merlin family!
"How interesting, the one coming is the holy swordsman from the Merlin family. It's going to be a good show!" Taylor gloated on the side.
"Holy Sword Master..." Lin Feng looked at the tall swordsman.
The moment the opponent turned sideways, he saw the swordsman rank on his chest.
Under the red sword mark, there is a black star.
This is clearly the rank of a 1-star holy swordsman.
If the senior swordsman is the backbone of the Imperial Knights, then the holy swordsman, who is one level higher than the senior swordsman, is the leader-level existence in the Imperial Knights.
Looking at the entire empire, he is already at the top of the pyramid.
It is indeed intriguing that the Holy Swordsman actually appeared at the entrance of the abyss and represented the Merlin family.
The Holy Sword Master did not dismount.
The team of knights he led blocked the entrance to the abyss, causing no one to dare to enter.
"Anyone who goes to the abyss must pay 10 silver coins."
After a while, the gatekeeper priest frowned and walked up to the holy swordsman.
"From now on, the entrance to the abyss will be taken over by my Merlin family!"
The Holy Sword Master glanced at the priest in front of him with disdain, and with just a snort, he was able to push the priest back several steps!
Dozens of priests' faces changed drastically at the same time, and they immediately dispersed to surround the Holy Sword Master.
The commotion here also attracted more and more people to gather.
This situation shows that a fight is about to break out if there is any disagreement.
"The entrance to the abyss is not the private property of the Merlin family. The Merlin family lost the abyss a few days ago, resulting in the deaths of a large number of adventurers. If my church had not intervened in time, the consequences would be disastrous."
"The church is temporarily in charge of the entrance to the abyss with the permission of King Maple Leaf. If you don't have the king's order, please leave immediately!"
The priests were also very tough, approaching one by one without retreating at all.
The Holy Swordsman's face was already cold and frosty.
Golden fighting spirit rose, and strong airflow burst out from his body, knocking back all the priests surrounding him.
He dismounted, sword in hand.
With an eye signal, several swordsmen behind him stepped forward and arrested all the priests lying on the ground in a blink of an eye.
"What do you want to do! Do you want to disobey the king and the Principality Church?!" The priest stared at the Holy Sword Master with a pale face.
"We are here to follow the orders of His Majesty Caesar! If you have any dissatisfaction, go to the capital and find our Lord Steve Merlin! Get lost!"
The Holy Sword Master roared.
The pastor who was speaking felt a surge of blood and spurted out, and he fainted on the ground.
The remaining priests did not dare to go against the powerful Holy Sword Master anymore. After saying "We will report to the Bishop", they retreated one by one.
The Holy Swordsman's arrogant aura was fully revealed. He watched the group of priests leave with cold eyes, then he got back on his horse and turned to face the people present.
The sound of the huge bell spread throughout the entire venue.
"In compliance with the order of His Majesty Caesar, the entrance to the abyss will continue to be managed by the Merlin family. Anyone entering the abyss from today on will be required to pay 50 silver coins!"
As soon as the words fell, the place exploded.
"No way! It actually increased by 40 silver coins!"
"10 silver coins are already very expensive, and even a single trip in there might not even be worth the money!"
"Why are the ticket fees being increased? We need an explanation!"
"This is clearly a price hike! Everyone knows that the Black Rock City boundary monument has appeared! It's clear that they don't want us ordinary people to have a piece of the pie!"
"We protest!"
"Oppose! Oppose! Oppose!"
The voices of opposition grew louder and louder, and for a moment the entire venue erupted in dissatisfaction with the Merlin family's decision.
At this moment, a swordsman rushed towards the entrance of the abyss regardless of everything.
The next moment, the entire body was cut in half by the golden sword energy, and all the internal organs were exposed on the ground.
The bloody scene immediately made everyone feel uncomfortable.
All the voices of resistance were suppressed in an instant.
"Who else objects?" The Holy Sword Master looked down at the crowd with murderous intent.
But now, no one dares to say anything, and they are angry but dare not speak out.
Lin Feng was in the crowd and his eyes twitched when he saw this brutal scene.
The strength of this holy swordsman is so terrifying that it is far superior to the two high-level swordsmen he had met before.
And this is just one person sent by the Merlin family.
So how strong is the Merlin family? This is still just the tip of the iceberg and we haven’t seen the full picture yet.
Lin Feng increasingly felt that his strength was far from enough and he had to become stronger.
At this moment, a large group of people came to the entrance of the abyss from afar.
The crowd parted again.
"It's the king's world!"
"Let's see what King of the World does!"
"For such a large alliance, it would cost four times more to enter the abyss. They definitely won't agree to this!"
"Ivan Bolt, speak for us!"
Facing the constant discussions, a silver-armored swordsman came in front of the Merlin family's holy swordsman.
This person is none other than the leader of the King's World - Ivan Bolt.
As a well-known figure in the Royal Capital Alliance, he also represents the general public to a certain extent.
If even he has to submit to the Merlin family, then the others will have no choice but to bite the bullet.
The moment Ivan Bolt appeared, Lin Feng's eyes immediately fell on the opponent's armor.
This... is another holy swordsman?
