Chapter 336: Successive Arrival!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After taking the Mokra Potion, Merlin would fall into a deep slumber for at least three days.

When Merlin slowly came to, his first action was to check on his Mind Power. He could feel the surge of power all over his body, especially his Mind Power, which had indeed grown by a huge margin.

Merlin had experienced the effect of Mokra Potion before. This time, it was his twelfth dose of the potion, but the effect of the potion still had not weakened. By taking another two or three more Mokra Potions, his Mind Power would be enough to support the construction of a Third-level spell.

“Hmm? Is somebody there?”

Merlin was too busy checking the growth of his Mind Power after he had awakened that he did not realize when there was another person in the room.

“Swoosh!”

Merlin immediately cast Earth Veil, shielding his entire body. Then, he opened his eyes and looked around the room.

There was a person sitting quietly not far away from the place where Merlin was sleeping. After seeing that Merlin had awoken, the mysterious man slowly turned around and asked calmly, “Are you awake?”

“Teacher Leo?”

Merlin was astonished. The mysterious man in his room was actually Wizard Leo. It also seemed that Wizard Leo had been there for a long time.

Seemingly noticing Merlin’s astonishment, Wizard Leo stood up and said slowly, “I’ve only arrived at the Imperial City yesterday. I found that you were in a deep sleep, so I stayed here to help guard you.”

After a pause, Wizard Leo’s expression suddenly became serious. He said slowly, “Merlin, what you took must be the potion Wizard Hall had given you to increase your Mind Power. I’ve heard about his potion too. I figured that after his many years of experiments, this potion must be effective to a certain degree too. One concern, however, was that you have to fall into a deep sleep after taking the potion, and this is very dangerous. Whatever the reason, you should never take such a risk in an unfamiliar place like this!”

Wizard Leo had already guessed that Merlin was taking the potion given by Wizard Hall. After all, Wizard Hall’s every move in the tower was scrutinized by Wizard Leo.

Naturally, Merlin knew of the danger too. Fortunately, the stranger in the room that he noticed earlier was Wizard Leo. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives came in stealthily, Merlin’s fate would have bode ill rather than well.

Thinking of this, Merlin could not help but feel a little scared. He could only give a nod and replied, “I won’t take such risks in the future. Thank you, Teacher Leo, for safeguarding me.

“Right, Teacher Leo, have you agreed to the terms laid out by the eighth prince?”

Merlin figured that Wizard Leo’s visit this time was to obtain the Tear of God from the hands of the eighth prince. However, the eighth prince would not easily give it away. Yet, the eighth prince also needed Wizard Leo’s help to defeat his biggest threat – the fourth prince.

Wizard Leo nodded and said, “I’ve already agreed on the eighth prince’s terms. I’ll be staying in the Imperial City for a while to help His Royal Highness the eighth prince deal with the fourth prince’s threat.”

It seemed that the Tear of God was really important for Wizard Leo. Otherwise, Wizard Leo would not have agreed with the terms set by the eighth prince.

Merlin did not follow up on the function of the Tear of God. After all, this involved the secret of Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye.

“Alright, Merlin. If you want to continue taking the potion, it’s fine with me. I’ll be in another house in the courtyard. No one should be able to bother you.”

After Wizard Leo had finished speaking, he pushed the door open and went to another house in the yard.

Deep down, Merlin was secretly grateful too. He really needed to continue taking at least two more Mokra Potions to increase his Mind Power and construct a Third-level Earth-type spell.

With Wizard Leo’s protection, Merlin was no longer afraid of the dangers he would encounter during his sleep.

Hence, Merlin felt relaxed as he continued taking the Mokra Potion...

...

“Your Royal Highness, Wizard Tanin and Wizard Morston have arrived!”

In the spacious hall, ninth Wizard Oden reported respectfully to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince’s expression abruptly changed. He then smiled and said, “Good. Hurry and invite the two Wizards in!”

Soon, Wizard Oden led two Spell Casters in from outside the manor. They each had a large cloak over their heads and wore blue Wizard robes.

After the two Spell Casters arrived in the hall, they gently took off the wide cloak on their heads.

“Tsss...”

When the fourth prince saw the faces of the two Spell Casters, he could not help but inhale sharply. So much for being well-informed and a self-proclaimed calm person. The face that was originally full of smiles had now stiffened.

The two Spell Casters had sallow faces. There was also a layer of white dander on their faces, which was constantly peeling and looked especially disgusting.

In addition, there were dense yellow meat bags with the size of rice grains. These small meat bags would crack from time to time, oozing yellow liquid.

In face of such ugly and horrible looks, the fourth prince’s face flinched. Still, he resisted the churning of his stomach as he smiled and said, “Welcome to my manor!”

“Heh heh!”

The chunkier Spell Caster looked at the fourth prince and smiled. “Your Royal Highness the fourth prince, the two of us didn’t journey a thousand miles just to appreciate the prosperity of the Imperial City! Just spit it out – when do you want to do it? We don’t want to stay in the Imperial City for too long. The oppressive aura here makes us feel very agitated!”

This plump Wizard raised his head and looked up at the roof. His gaze seemed to have passed through the thick roof aimed towards the sky. The fourth prince naturally knew what he meant – it was the aura of the Runic Magic Circle which was set up with the Blackmoon Tower as its center.

Any Spell Caster who entered the Imperial City would feel that suppressive force. It was as though a devastating power would drop down from above their heads at any time. Therefore, no one would feel comfortable, especially the more powerful Spell Casters as they were unable to withstand the constant feeling of threat.

“Wizard Morston, things have changed this time. Initially, that naive younger brother of mine didn’t have any powerful ally by his side. However, I caught wind that my adorable little brother had recently recruited a powerful Spell Caster. So, this time, I’m afraid that things would be rather troublesome.”

The fourth prince said hesitantly.

“Hmm? Powerful Spell Caster? Heh heh, tell me more, Your Royal Highness. To be considered powerful by Your Royal Highness, this person must certainly be extraordinary!”

The chunky Wizard Morston squinted and looked at the fourth prince.

The fourth prince nodded with a dignified look. “That’s right. This Spell Caster is indeed unusual. I believe you two Wizards should’ve heard of a certain Wizard Leo from the Dark Magic Region?”

“Leo? That Leo from Dark Magic Region who has Darkness Eye? The one who hunted down the Seventh-level Spell Caster, Osseus relentlessly?”

An indescribable expression suddenly flashed across Wizard Morston’s squinted eyes.

“Yes, that foolish little brother of mine was able to recruit the services of Wizard Leo!”

Hearing that it was Wizard Leo, the plump Wizard Morston began to laugh instead. Their faces were even filled with excitement. “Haha, this Leo possesses Darkness Eye. Tsk tsk, this is no ordinary Pandora Demon Ability. How could a mere Sixth-level Spell Caster like him harness the true power of Darkness Eye? Your Royal Highness the fourth prince, hurry up and arrange things as quickly as possible. This time, even you wouldn’t stop us from dealing with Leo!”

The two Wizards started showing an interest in Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye. They did not even try to conceal the greedy looks on their faces.

However, this was precisely the fourth prince’s motive. There was a smile on his face as he said, “Since you two can’t wait to deal with Leo, then in ten days time, His Majesty will call upon the royal family to go on a hunting trip together. This is our chance!”

“Ten days? That’s fine too, but I hope that after ten days, once we kill Leo and help Your Royal Highness defeat the eighth prince, Your Royal Highness will deliver the things that were promised to us earlier!”

Wizard Morston looked at the fourth prince with a sly smile.

The edge of the fourth prince’s mouth twitched slightly. Facing Wizard Morston who showed a hint of threat, he could only forcefully assure them. “Don’t worry, I’ve long since prepared the things that I’ve promised you two!”

Wizard Morston nodded and led Wizard Tanin, who had not spoken a word throughout, to retire for the evening.

The fourth prince looked at the departing figures of Wizard Morston and Wizard Tanin, his eyes gradually revealing a hint of coldness too...

...

Six days later, when Merlin had awakened from a deep sleep again, he felt a strong gush of Mind Power. Thus, his face revealed a hint of satisfaction.

In the span of six days, he took two more Mokra Potions. From the original twenty-eight portions of potions, only fourteen were left now.

However, the effect was quite obvious. His Mind Power had greatly improved. There would not be a problem even if he were to construct another Third-level spell.

“It’s time to construct a Third-level Earth-type spell.”

Merlin had continuously consumed the Mokra Potions to increase his Mind Power with the aim of speeding up the construction of a Third-level Earth-type spell. This was so that in the upcoming battle between the eighth prince and the fourth prince, he would be able to protect himself.

Next, Merlin took out some of the Third-level spells given to him previously by the eighth prince. Among them was a Third-level Earth-type spell called Perfect Armor. Once cast, a large number of Earth Elements would form armor on the surface of one’s body. It was claimed to have perfect protection. As long as the power of the strike did not exceed a Sixth-level spell, it could be maintained for a long time.

With the protection of Perfect Armor, it would basically be impossible for even a powerful Sixth-level spell to break through Perfect Armor. Only a force which completely surpassed a Sixth-level spell, otherwise, a force comparable to a Seventh-level spell or Pandora Demon Ability could penetrate Perfect Armor.

“It appears that Perfect Armor couldn’t be found even in the Dark Magic Region. Only the Blackmoon royal family and very few large spell casters’ organizations have this spell!”

Merlin recalled carefully. Back then, he had also searched for some Third-level spells in the Resource Tower of the Dark Magic Region but he did not find Perfect Armor.

A spell which even the Dark Magic Region did not have but was given so “freely” to Merlin by the eighth prince – this had evidently proved the eighth prince’s sincerity!

“Matrix, reanalyze the Spell Model of Perfect Armor!”

Merlin took a deep breath and quickly activated the Matrix. With Perfect Armor, such a powerful Third-level Earth-type spell, he had no reason to hesitate further. He began constructing the Spell Model right away!
