Chapter 148: Changes in Dark Magic Region

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin had already chosen the First-level spells: ‘Guardian Monument’, ‘Wind of Freedom’ and ‘Frigid Ice’. Together with ‘Furious Flame’ that he got from the Donglin City mission, Merlin now had in total four First-level spells.

Next, he would need to choose Thunder-type and Darkness-type spells. But upon looking out of the Resource Tower, he noted that the sky had already turned dark and it was night time. He had spent too much time choosing Ice-type spells.

“I’ll settle with this three first and come back again in a few days.”

Looking at how dark the sky has turned, Merlin did not continue his search. He still had a long time here and could always choose the remaining spells later.

After memorizing these few spells, Merlin then left the Resource Tower. The gray-robed wizards felt strange seeing that Merlin had spent half the day on the second floor yet leaving with nothing.

Returning to Wizard Leo’s tower, Merlin went straight up to the top floor and met Wizard Leo again.

“How was it? Have you chosen your spells?”

Wizard Leo seemed to be in a good mood as he asked coolly.

Weighing his words, Merlin listed his chosen spells to him. “Wizard Leo, I haven’t finished picking the spells. For now, I have chosen ‘Guardian Monument’, ‘Wind of Freedom’ and ‘Frigid Ice’.”

Merlin set his gaze on Wizard Leo after replying him.

Wizard Leo frowned slowly and said, “‘Guardian Monument’ and ‘Wind of Freedom’ are fine. They are considered average and their Spell Models are not particularly difficult. But ‘Frigid Ice’ is one of those with the most complicated Spell Model amongst First-level spells. You only have two more years here in Dark Magic Region. How much time do you have left to construct such a complicated Spell Model?”

Wizard Leo was aware of how complicated Frigid Ice’s Spell Model was. Even if its strength was truly incredible, many Spell Casters would wisely choose to not pick it.

Merlin had The Matrix, so he naturally did not have to worry about the construction of Spell Model. However, explaining that to Wizard Leo was a challenge.

Just when Merlin was hesitating, Wizard Leo waved his hand impatiently. “Fine, you seemed to have made up your mind to construct Frigid Ice. I will definitely give you what I promised, but I don’t have Frigid Ice with me now. You can have Wind of Freedom and Guardian Monument first. I will notify the gray-robed wizards in Resource Tower to send me Frigid Ice.”

After saying that, two spells instantly appeared in Wizard Leo’s hands. They were the Wind of Freedom and Guardian Monument spells that Merlin had wanted. Frigid Ice was unique, even Wizard Leo did not have it and he had to exchange for it with his contribution points.

However, Wizard Leo did not have to go to Resource Tower himself. He drew a few mysterious runes which began to shine a faint light and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Merlin did not know much about runology, but he had a fundamental understanding that a rune was able to deliver a message. With his attainments in runology, it was a piece of cake for Wizard Leo to just write a rune with a wave of his hand.

Very quickly, footsteps could be heard approaching outside the door. A gray-robed wizard entered the room and delivered a book to Wizard Leo respectfully, saying “Wizard Leo, this is the Frigid Ice spell that you requested.”

“Alright, you may leave.”

Wizard Leo said with a straight-face. The gray-robed wizard raised his head and glanced at Merlin. Recognizing Merlin, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

After the gray-robed wizard left, Wizard Leo pointed to the Frigid Ice spell and said cooly, “Are you sure you want to choose Frigid Ice? If in the end, you can’t construct it successfully and want to choose another First-level spell, you’ll have to exchange it yourself at Resource Tower.”

Wizard Leo was honoring his promise to Merlin and hence provided Merlin the First-level spells for free. If the spell did not suit, Wizard Leo would not give it for free again. If he wanted spells, he had to exchange it with contribution points at the Resource Tower.

Not thinking for long, Merlin responded without a hint of hesitation, “Teacher Leo, I won’t regret this. If I am unable to construct Frigid Ice in the end, I will exchange for other spells at the Resource Tower.”

Wizard Leo nodded and waved his hand. The Frigid Ice spell on the table flew into Merlin’s hands.

“Alright, you can leave now. As for the rest of the spells, come and speak to me once you made your decision!”

Merlin excused himself from Wizard Leo’s room and returned to his own room.

Merlin had acquired most of the First-level spells. He could slowly choose the remaining Darkness-type and Thunder-type spells in time. The urgent task at hand now was to increase Mind Power. The effect of the advanced Mind Meditation Spell was excellent. Merlin planned to meditate for a long time so as to reach the Mind Power of Second-level Spell Caster as soon as possible.

Once his Mind Power reached that level, then he could try to construct a First-level spell. By that time, if his Mind Power was able to support all his Spell Models, then he would attain success.

With that, he placed these First-level spells into his ring and began meditating.

*****

Half a month later, Merlin opened his eyes. A smile played at the edge of his mouth.

“My Mind Power has finally reached that of a Second-level Spell Caster!”

Merlin felt slightly emotional. His Mind Power had almost doubled in just half a month. If it was an intermediate Mind Meditation Spell like before, he would not be able to achieve this effect at all and would require at least half a year to do so.

This time around, he had only meditated for half a month and achieved significant progress. The advanced Mind Meditation Spell was beyond Merlin’s expectations.

During this half month, Merlin rarely stepped out of his room. Now that he had leveled up his Mind power, he was able to construct the First-level spell. Instead of immediately doing so, he prepared himself to go to the Resource Tower to pick the remaining Darkness-type and Thunder-type spells.

After settling everything, only then he would consider constructing the First-level spell. Merlin had experienced failure during the construction last time and he did not want to fail again, so he had to be careful and fully prepared.

Thus, Merlin stood up and left the tower.

*****

Reaching the front of the Resource Tower, Merlin saw Elena who was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and skirt. She was chatting happily with a few young female wizards. As they chatted, they let out cheerful giggles once in a while, attracting the gaze of passersby.

Although both man and woman could become Spell Caster, the number of female wizards in Dark Magic Region was still considered small.

“Wizard Merlin!”

Elena spotted Merlin and was surprised. She called out loudly and attracted many gazes.

Merlin shook his head helplessly. Elena was too vivacious and she was nothing like the other dark and gloomy Spell Casters.

“Wizard Merlin, you are finally out of your room. You know we were just talking about you.”

“Talking about me?”

Merlin stared doubtfully at Elena.

Elena nodded and continued excitedly, “We were saying that the whole Dark Magic Region will be shocked if you become a First-level Spell Caster.”

After saying that, Elena pulled Merlin towards the female wizards and said, “Wizard Merlin, you are always in the tower and don’t come out often. You don’t even know the other wizards in our nearby tower, right? Let me introduce you to the Spell Casters that live in the tower nearest to us.”

Elena was very popular. She tugged Merlin all around and introduced him to some female wizards. Feeling helpless, Merlin allowed her to do so excitedly.

Merlin was smiling at first, and suddenly noticed a pillar of white light appearing in the sky.

Gradually, almost all the other Spell Caster also noticed it. It was supposed to be afternoon but the pillar of light was brighter than the afternoon sunlight. The light came from the tallest tower in Dark Magic Region. It slowly expanded and hovered over the whole of Dark Magic Region.

“What’s happening?”

“It’s the tower of the Seventh-level Spell Casters. Has something happened?”

Many Spell Casters felt strange. They had never encountered such an event before. Many gray-robed wizards came out from the Resource Tower. Their expressions turned grim when they saw the light.

“All Spell Casters, return to your tower now!”

Just when the Spell Casters were confused, a dignified ancient voice rang out clearly in the whole Dark Magic Region.

Elena, who was still lively and excited, wore a serious expression as well now. She muttered softly. “It’s must be something huge. Wizard Merlin, let’s go back to the tower quick.”

Merlin nodded. He did not know what had happened in Dark Magic Region that had even moved the Seventh-level Spell Caster.

Like Merlin, the other Spell Casters quickly rushed back to their respective towers.

*****

Merlin and Elena returned to the tower together and noted that a lot of the other Spell Casters had returned too. Merlin did not know most of them.

There were many students in Wizard Leo’s tower. It was not easy to meet some of the Spell Casters as they usually minded their own business, especially those who are official members of First-level and above. In fact, it was difficult to even see them once a year.

During this moment, however, these Spell Casters who seldom showed their faces had now all gathered in the tower.

Elena glanced around and said in a low voice, “Except for those Spell Casters who are out on a mission, everyone is here.”

Merlin nodded. Those Spell Casters who were in the middle of a mission could be contacted through runes, but some were far away from here. It would be difficult for them to return immediately.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz.”

Suddenly, the Runic Magic Circle in a corner of the floor shone and a silhouette appeared.

“Teacher Leo!”

Everyone greeted respectfully after seeing and recognizing the figure.

Wizard Leo wore a dark expression. The blood-colored vertical eye on his forehead was wide open. A hint of faint red blinked. The Spell Casters felt an immense pressure on them.

The atmosphere was rather depressing now. Nobody dared to even take a deep breath. Looking at Wizard Leo’s dark expression, he was obviously furious. What exactly happened that had induced Wizard Leo’s wrath?
