Chapter 442

The note was exactly that Savior prophecy, but it had been modified and deleted by Murphy.

But to Murphy's disappointment again, the latter glanced at it and had no expression: "I don't remember making such a prophecy."

Some prophets might fall into a trance when making prophecies and not know what they said, such as Professor Trelawney, but that is usually because their own magic power is insufficient. Like a magic master like Merlin, there is usually no such problem.

But this prophecy could also have been made by him in the future, or the information left on that note was simply wrong, and it was not Merlin's prophecy at all.

Moreover, Merlin might not have told the truth to a stranger like him.

Murphy thought for a while and decided not to continue entangled in this question, but asked: "Has Archmage Merlin heard the name Miriam?"

Merlin still looked as usual, but Murphy had been observing the other party's expression and keenly noticed the slight contraction of his pupils.

He knew Miriam.

"Never heard of it." Merlin said, "Camelot has many people coming and going every day. You might as well ask around in the city."

Although he didn't blush or skip a beat when saying this, Murphy knew he was lying.

However, he seemed not to have noticed it, nodded very regretfully: "Well, that's the only way. Thank you, Archmage Merlin, then I'll take my leave."

Murphy had just walked out of Merlin's tower when the latter clapped his hands, and a young wizard apprentice responded from the next room: "Master Merlin, what are your orders?"

"Godric, follow that wizard and see what he does in the city. Remember, use the magic I taught you to hide yourself, don't let him discover you."

"Yes, master." The apprentice named Godric had a head of red hair and looked very young. At this moment, he took the task, took his staff, walked out the door, chanted a spell, covered himself in a hazy shimmer, disappeared from the air, and then chased after Murphy.

On the other side, Murphy had just left the tower. With a thought, a lightning raven landed on the tower of a building and stared at Merlin's tower. He himself took a detour, came to a deserted alley, and waited for a while.

Godric rushed into the alley in a hurry. He had just been careless and saw Murphy rush into the alley, and the opposite side of the alley was a market, where people came and went. Once Murphy disappeared from his sight, it would be troublesome to find him again.

He rushed into the alley, only to see Murphy standing at the end of the alley, seemingly waiting for something.

Godric was very confident in the invisibility magic Merlin taught him. He approached lightly, preparing to see what Murphy was doing, but suddenly the latter turned around.

In the magic vision, a bright pale blue figure was sneaking toward him, and even without the magic vision, the other party's invisibility was not perfect. What's more, the footsteps he made while walking on the road, although extremely lightened, still couldn't escape Murphy's ears.

Murphy had nothing to say to this apprentice. He went up and cast a Petrification Curse constructed with his own "Petrification Venom" magic power.

Godric was caught off guard and was hit immediately. He watched as Murphy came to him and waved his hand to eliminate the magic on him.

Murphy raised his finger again. This time, he imagined the scene when he used "Comprehensive Recall" on himself, but changed the object to the other party, and pointed his finger at the other party's forehead, immediately pushing open the door of his memory.

Although there was no Magic Net now, he had used Comprehensive Recall on himself many times, and he had long been familiar with the operation path of this spell.

It was originally a way to use Legilimens on himself. Now that it was used back on others, it naturally had an effect similar to Legilimens. A moment later, Murphy had read seven or eight out of ten of this magic apprentice's life.

"Godric Gryffindor..." Murphy frowned, "This is really a bit unexpected."

Gryffindor was actually Merlin's student!

And this founder of Hogwarts was now frozen by his own apprentice's apprentice, which made Murphy feel a bit strange, as if he were destroying his ancestors.

However, besides Gryffindor's identity, Murphy also obtained a lot of useful information.

First of all, Miriam did live in this era, and like Gryffindor, she was Merlin's apprentice and a member of the Order of Merlin.

But for some reason, Miriam became very strange some time ago. She contradicted her teacher Merlin several times, even accusing him of committing a great crime, so she was imprisoned by Merlin. Later, it is said that she tried to escape, but did not succeed, and is now still imprisoned in the dungeon of Camelot.

There are many members of the Order of Merlin, all of whom are wizards, and they are usually arranged by Merlin for various tasks. Gryffindor was not familiar with Miriam, and these contents were all heard from others.

But since he knew where the person was, it was simple. Murphy casually added an Invisibility Charm to this ancestor, then threw him onto a roof, and then returned to Merlin's tower via lightning teleportation.

The latter had already left, and in the perspective of the lightning raven, Merlin was passing through several corridors and heading toward the lower area of the castle.

Murphy moved his mind and also turned into a raven, following Merlin from a distance.

Only to see the latter go down along the complex stairs to the bottom of the castle, then come to an underground hall, and behind the hall, a cave led to the deeper underground.

Merlin came to the door of the cave and suddenly stopped. He turned around: "Who's there!"

The raven transformed by Murphy was perched on a craggy rock protrusion by the wall, motionless, intending to deceive the other party, but Merlin paused his massive magic staff and shouted: "Reveal your true form!"

A magic wave swept over, and Murphy's transformation became unstable for a moment, almost falling from that rock. His movement here was immediately noticed by Merlin. Seeing that he had been discovered, Murphy simply stopped hiding, his body moved, turned into a puff of black smoke, and landed on the ground: "Archmage Merlin, we meet again."

"Mage Murphy..." Merlin frowned, "Where is Godric?"

Murphy didn't answer the other party, but asked: "Where is Miriam?"

Merlin was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "You really are that person. Miriam said that a person I cannot predict would destroy my plan, and you have an unknown origin, and my precognition ability has no effect on you..."

Speaking of this, Merlin looked at him: "I will never allow failure. You die here, Murphy."

Murphy frowned. In various documents, Merlin was an image of a sage. How did this one look like a conspirator who had been caught?

It looked quite low.

But he had already sensed that there was a familiar magic power in that cave.

Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Murphy sighed.

Doesn't matter.

Anyway, Gryffindor had already been beaten, so it didn't matter if there was one more Merlin.

He raised a finger, and with a crackle, a massive bolt of lightning flashed by.

Merlin didn't even have a chance to cast a spell before he fell to the ground smoking all over.
