All things are three at Hogwarts

Alan, who returned to the ancient apple tree, handed the gem with Odgar's soul to Merlin. "The death of the body is not the end of the journey, but the underworld is not a good place to go. There are still many mysteries of the soul, and some people are counting on it." You can obtain eternal life by splitting your soul, and some people's souls do obtain eternal life. The path is mysterious and unpredictable, and you need to continue to explore it yourself. Odegaard's soul will always accompany you in this gem until you When you understand enough about soul magic, you may be able to cast it safely."

Merlin held the gem tightly. Although his mouth was actually full of oil now, he still nodded resolutely. The opportunity to cast Odgar was indeed very tempting, and he was not even a beginner. The young wizard, Merlin is actually not clear about the classification of black and white magic in magic, and he still doesn't know what it means.

In line with the attitude of being responsible for his apprentice, he did not turn Odgar into a death knight, but planned to use this to seduce his apprentice and not let Merlin mistakenly walk on the path of a pure white wizard...

And on this morning, the sacrifice made by the victor of the Norman duel was puzzling to others, but it was particularly noble.

Tofi's nose in the shield wall formation was already red, and tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily. Several knights carried the heroic sacrifice of Odega on their shoulders and brought him back to the camp. What Odega did for their home village of Crowhurst and for England along the way came to the mind of every Anglo-Saxon militiaman.

"Odgar, you are the bravest man in our county, and every Englishman who has sworn before will avenge your unfortunate death." Leocliffe said angrily and sadly, "Let the Norman beasts come. !”

Of course they will.

The Normans' bows and arrows, which had an overwhelming numerical advantage, once again fired continuous volleys at the British lines. Only knights and rich people could have complete armor. The militiamen who were poor farmers could only rely on the shields distributed by the kingdom to protect themselves.

The Normans on horseback and on foot rushed forward and launched a general attack.

Tofi, who originally tried his best to hide behind the shield wall, walked through the crowd and reached the front of the team with the mentality of revenge for Odega. The soldiers at the front were the most dangerous, and they had to be wary of both ground attacks and vigilance. Arrows on top of head.

However, the shield wall formation used by the English from the Roman period meant that even if the Normans were well-equipped and fully armed, they could not quickly cause a fatal attack. Moreover, they occupied the hillside location. In order to protect their homeland from being invaded by the Normans, they used Spears, tree trunks, rocks and a series of other things they could get their hands on were thrown at the enemies in the swamps below the hillside.

King Harold of England obviously had his own thoughts. What he wanted to do was to hold on to the shield wall, let the Normans attack, and let them charge tirelessly up the hillside. If he could hold the defense line until dark, he would have a good chance. Victory, and the Normans would be exhausted, he had called in reinforcements from the surrounding area beforehand.

In fact, the return of the Norman cavalry spies made William already aware of Harold's plan. The stalemate also made him painfully realize that besides breaking through the shield wall and winning before dark, he had no other option. He had not considered it. Giving up on this possibility, the illegitimate Duke just continued to launch strong attacks.

By noon, the battle had reached a complete stalemate. After three hours of repeated attacks, the Normans still had not made any breakthrough.

At this time, without warning, the entire flank of William's army began to turn around and flee from the battle line, and the well-trained Norman army just fled.

A rumor spread widely among the dying groans of the soldiers, that a militiaman came up behind Leocliffe and said: "Their duke is dead, he has been slain, spread the word quickly."

"Their leader is dead, pass it on quickly." Leofric, his eyes covered with joy, said to Tofi.

"Their duke is dead." Tofi felt sad and happy, and he could avenge Odegaard. "Oh, how sweet the taste of victory will be, and how bitter the Norman invaders will taste."

"Drive them into the sea, for Odgar." Leofric rushed to the front, he couldn't wait to avenge Odgar.

The Viking mercenaries who are familiar with the tactics of the Norman army, who are also Vikings, know that this is actually a tried and tested trick of the Normans. Their purpose is to make their enemies mistakenly think that they have a chance to win, and then They relaxed their vigilance, and the shield wall was full of holes, so they quickly stretched out their arms to block it. Many of them shouted anxiously: "Come back..."

"They escaped!" Because of the continuous recruitment, many militiamen were fighting for the first time, and they couldn't help but get excited when they saw the situation in front of them.

"Don't mess up the formation, the battle is not over yet!" As veterans of the battlefield, King Harold's direct guards and the Vikings tried to stop the excitement of the militia group, but in this case they were obviously dazzled by the scene in front of them. The militiamen, like their former Norman opponents, would not listen.

As if seeing the dawn of victory, the English began to pursue.

"Their duke is dead! He is dead!" Leocliffe was completely caught up in the ecstasy of victory and the excitement of revenge for Odega. He and some militiamen rushed down the mountain, Harold's order It could not be passed on for the time being, and these militiamen obviously scorned the warnings of the Viking mercenaries. Many people followed Leocliffe's footsteps and raised their weapons to kill them. The originally tight shield wall began to have loopholes.

Upon seeing this, Tofi followed suit and grabbed his best friend, but a Viking grabbed him by the back of his clothes and stopped him.

"This is a trick of the Normans." Although he had known the result, Allen couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. The English still embarked on their inherent destiny.

Merlin's little hand grabbed Allen's shirt and made a silent request.

"Sorry, my apprentice, I have seen their fate through divination before. Leocliffe is destined to die on the battlefield." Alan looked down at Merlin and explained that he did not intend to take greater risks now. The fate of those who have directly intervened and performed prophecies and divination to the outcome is at least the fate in front of them.

Merlin's eyes dimmed. He nodded obediently and then lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at the battlefield, nor did he dare to beg for his mentor. He knew that if possible, although the mentor looked a bit "alternative", he would be willing to pass him. Meet some of his requirements, and his mentor has actually persuaded and hinted at them before.

Allen rubbed Merlin's little head, "I will make his soul into a soul gem. As long as you study hard and learn soul magic, you will be strong in the future, and you can save Leocliffe yourself. And I can promise you , I will make sure your brother-in-law Tuo Fei is safe."

The situation on the battlefield surprised William who had implemented the plan, because among the Norman army, shocking rumors spread. Rumors said that this was not just a trick to deceive the enemy as usual, but that William really died in battle. The battlefield was on the battlefield, and in this era, the death of a commander usually meant the complete failure of the war. The morale of the military began to weaken. The militiamen who rushed down the hillside first tasted the sweetness, which also made more English militiamen begin to dive down the hillside.

The English militiamen fell into a brief joy of victory, and they seemed to be red-eyed. Leocliffe waved his dagger high and inserted it into the back of a Norman deserter from behind. He raised his arms in excitement and cheered for victory.

The Duke of Norman had to take off his helmet to face his face, and then began to circle around his military formation and yell: "Look at me! Can you recognize me?! I am still alive! Blessed by the Lord! Norman If you are determined, you will win!”

William had gone through countless battles, and knowing this situation, he had to face everyone directly to encourage the morale of the army. This was quite effective. For the Normans, this unexpected short-term defeat was turned into a bigger scam by his lord. , he lured more of the English militia than planned from the protection of the hillsides and marshes.

Duke William did not die. Soon, the Norman cavalry used their fatal advantage for the first time. They quickly rushed into the scattered English militia. Leocliffe, who already knew that he had been tricked, was not like other militiamen. He also tried to retreat. He turned his head and glanced at the hillside behind him with tears in his eyes. After making sure that his best friend did not rush down the hillside like his stupid self, he nodded happily, then dropped his shield and raised his long sword with both hands. Spear, bravely launched a countercharge and rushed towards the Norman cavalry, trying to buy time for the militiamen who were led down the hillside by him, the squad leader.

Leocliffe was no longer afraid of death in his heart. He just felt that if it were the Odgar he originally hated, he would be happy to do this if he encountered the current situation.

When Merlin returned to the battlefield, everything seemed to be in slow motion. He watched helplessly as this hometown warrior who had sworn an oath of protection to him before raised his spear and solved the two enemies with a skill that he could never imagine at ordinary times. A charging Norman knight was stabbed by the lance of the third Norman cavalry. The lance hit Leocliffe's throat. The newly appointed militia captain fell directly on his back, and blood flowed from there. Some flesh appeared between the neck and head.

Tofi was completely stunned on the hillside. His best friend was dead, and countless brave British people like him died at the foot of the mountain.

And those Norman infantry who had been defeated because they really believed the rumors also changed their direction and defeated the English army rushing down the hillside in one fell swoop. Without the protection of the shield wall formation, these militiamen armed only with shields and simple weapons were not experienced at all. Trained and armed rivals of the Normans.

Allen, who had teleported to him and made him a soul gem, said in a gentler tone than usual to his looming reflection in the gem: "You were once a timid farmer from Crowhurst Village. Now A brave warrior from the village of Crowhurst, Merlin himself will indeed bless you.
