Captured

Drake took a few steps forward, then snapped his the Snap, and Dave, who had been suspended in mid-air, fell to the ground instantly.

"Bang!"

The loud thud as it hit the ground made Dave scream in pain.

Drake turned around, looked at Dave who was getting up from the ground, and said, "Okay, listen to me."

"Use your best trick against me, your most powerful spell."

"Come on, take out your ring."

Dave didn't refuse; he quickly took the ring out of his pocket and put it on his finger.

"Put it on, good boy!"

Drake stretched out his arms, ready to receive Dave's ultimate move.

"Alright, this is what you asked for."

Dave assumed a pose Plasma Lightning ball (similar to the Kamehameha pose) and attacked his opponent.

Following Dave's instructions, Drake assumed an injured pose and cried out, "Ouch!"

However, Dave failed to launch the Flash ball.

Drake laughed and said, "It's nothing, just kidding. There was no reaction at all."

Seeing this, Dave had no choice but to abandon his fighting stance.

Drake chuckled, "Is there something on your mind?"

Dave replied, "Yes, of course."

After thinking for a moment, Drake said, "Because you're nervous, I understand, you're under pressure."

Dave protested, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a newbie."

Drake rolled his eyes, seeing how foolish Dave was, and said, "You're wearing a ring, take it off."

Dave asked, puzzled, "Take off the ring?"

Drake affirmed, "Yes, pick it."

Maxim, who had been listening to everything happening inside, couldn't take it anymore and walked in, shouting, "Enough!"

"Fool, go guard the door!"

Drake turned around and saw that it was Maxim, so he obediently did as he was told and walked towards the door.

Maxim walked over and carefully examined Dave, the guy who had been taken in as a disciple by Barcelona, especially noticing the ring on his finger, which made him frown slightly.

Dave saw the other person and knew something was wrong, so he immediately ran outside.

Seeing Dave running towards the door, Maxim's wand lit up, and with a gentle Dave, Dave was pulled back backwards.

"Oh no!"

Despite his strong refusal, Dave was pulled back by this force and brought before Maxim.

"Hi, Dave."

"Listen, Dave, I'm going to kill you right now."

"It's right here in this bathroom. It's not exactly honorable, but if you tell me where the Grimhold are, you might save your life."

Dave looked at Maxim in horror. "I don't know."

Maxim carefully examined Dave's eyes and facial expression, then said with slight disappointment, "It seems you really don't know. I just don't know if using you as a bargaining chip can get back the nesting Grimhold that's holding Morgana."

As he spoke, Maxim took out a pure black magical object from his pocket, shaped like a Russia Grimhold. Maxim opened the lid of the Grimhold and pointed his wand at Dave.

Dave was instantly sealed inside the Grimhold, like quicksand. As the Grimhold closed, an image appeared on the pure black Grimhold: a terrified Dave.

Having finished all that, Maxim walked out of the bathroom and said, "This matter is settled. Let's see if we can exchange his apprentice for the nesting Grimhold that Barcelona has."

"Did you find the person I asked you to investigate? That newly emerged Prime Merlinian?"

The two got into the car, Drake took out a tablet and handed it to Maxim, then said with a strange expression, "Horvath, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Maxim frowned slightly and said, "How could I possibly mistake a portrait I drew myself?"

Looking at the unplayed video on the tablet, Maxim then clicked to play it. It showed Charlotte Doyle's battle against the Abomination, as well as a video of Charlotte Doyle's face at the press conference.

After watching the two short videos, Maxim tossed the tablet onto the seat beside him, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

"The God of Ninjas, Prime Merlinian, is interesting, very interesting."

"It seems you've truly found a powerful successor for Merlin, Balthazar."

"I thought I remembered it wrong. Ten years ago, Dave was the one who released me with the ring on his wrist. Ten years later, the owner of the ring has changed."

"So you had a better choice after all, the seeds of the two Prime Merlinian?"

······

On the other side.

Charlotte thoroughly experienced the amplification effects of the Dragon Ring and the No-Seal Ninjutsu in the Training Room. In the end, Charlotte decided to use the Dragon Ring as an amplification equipment.

After all, it has greater power and stronger effects. As for the issue of instant casting, it can be cast instantly when needed. Moreover, Charlotte believes that in the future, she can be like Hashirama Senju, able to summon whatever she wants by clapping her hands together.

Just then, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Ginny calling, he answered the call immediately.

"Hi, Ginny!"

"Boss, the two weapons you asked me to forge are finished. Would you like to have them delivered, or come and take a look yourself?"

Considering that the Tanto she had forged for Gamakichi was a full sixteen meters long, Charlotte thought for a moment and then said, "Send the address to John, and I'll have him drive me there to take a look. If it's suitable, I'll just take it with me."

"Okay, Boss."

Charlotte got up and walked out of the Training Room, then went back to her room to take a shower and change her clothes.

When I went downstairs, I saw John waiting in the Rest Area.

Seeing Charlotte come down, John immediately stood up and walked over, then said, "Boss, shall we set off now?"

Charlotte nodded, then said, "Let's go!"

······

Maxim and Drake returned to their lodgings, and Maxim immediately began setting up various traps in the room.

The Hungarian Magic Mirror Prison, the Persian Quicksand Carpet, and all sorts of traps and magical spells capable of imprisoning people are all included.

After doing all this, Maxim took out a blank letter and wrote on it.

Balthazar, Dave is in my hands. He is your disciple, and I know he is also one of Merlin's seeds.

Anyone who can wear Merlin's Ring must have Merlin's bloodline. If you don't want your disciple and Merlin's bloodline to perish, bring your Grimhold to XXXXX location before 8 PM tonight to exchange it with me.

Otherwise you will lose this lovely disciple.

Maxim placed the letter in the envelope, snapped his the Snap, and an owl flew into the room through the window, snatched the letter from Maxim's hand, and left.
