Chapter 457: The Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not too long after, more people began to appear before Tambert. One of them was Lady Phillie, whom Winston had initially planned to kill.

“Hehe, Lady Phillie, we meet again!”

A corner of Winston’s mouth curved into a sinister smile as his gaze was locked on Lady Phillie. Nonetheless, Lady Phillie only responded with a fleeting smile, and resumed a calm expression toward Wizard Tambert. “Respected Wizard Tambert, how may we help you today?”

Wizard Tambert cast an in-depth gaze at Lady Phillie, and appeared to nod in approval. “Not bad, Lady Phillie, to be able to stifle Tagan City to this extent. I’ve heard that you have a talent for trading. However, the reason I’ve summoned you here this time isn’t about the trade business but the mysterious Wizard who had saved your life a few days ago. How much do you know about this mysterious Wizard?”

Lady Phillie was slightly taken aback. She did not expect that Wizard Tambert had summoned her for this matter. Moreover, she hesitated in her heart because Merlin had rescued her before. If she told Wizard Tambert about him, surely Merlin would be in danger.

However, if she did not tell them, Boulder City might be destroyed. Boulder City was powerless to withstand Wizard Tambert’s rage.

“Why? You don’t want to tell?”

Wizard Tambert narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his body began to emit a weighted pressure, causing Lady Phillie, who was only an entry-level Spell Caster, to feel suffocated.

“Phillie, tell Wizard Tambert about the circumstances when you met Wizard Merlin. Don’t hesitate!”

Behind Lady Phillie, an elderly man said slowly.

Lady Phillie paused for a moment, and finally nodded her head. “On that day, Wizard Merlin suddenly fell from the sky...”

Wizard Tambert listened carefully to Lady Phillie’s narration but his expression became more and more solemn as the story progressed. According to Lady Phillie’s description, the mysterious Wizard Merlin fell from the sky?

Perhaps an average Spell Caster would not know what it meant but as a Seventh-level Spell Caster, Wizard Tambert naturally knew what Merlin’s descending method meant.

“Is what you’re saying true? That Merlin descended from the sky?”

Wizard Tambert seemed to be mired in disbelief as he asked Lady Phillie again.

This time, the elderly man behind Lady Phillie spoke. His voice was very calm, and his deep eyes seemed to contain pockets of wisdom.

“Wizard Tambert, you must have guessed it right. This Wizard Merlin is a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens!”

Upon hearing the words of this elderly man, Wizard Tambert could hold back no longer. He stood up abruptly, and trained his gaze on Lady Phillie and the others.

A Spell Caster from beyond the heavens... Only he knew what it meant. Every Spell Caster from beyond the heavens was superbly powerful, and most of them were terrifying Great Wizards!

If that mysterious Wizard Merlin was truly a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens, then not only the mine but also Bisque City might be in danger...

That thought made Wizard Tambert frown heavily. This might be the greatest crisis he had encountered. If it was not handled properly, even Bisque City might be destroyed.

In Wizard Tambert’s hand was an ancient map. The map was clearly marked with an elemental crystal stone mine. It was very detailed. With this map, it would be easy to find the actual location of the elemental crystal stone mine.

Such a huge mine was also the greatest wealth that Tambert had ever encountered. Once he had obtained this mine, Tambert was confident that he could develop Bisque City into the most advanced city in the shortest time as well as purchase some of the precious materials he wanted. Then, it would give him a huge opportunity to become an Eight- or Ninth-level Spell Caster.

Now, however, there was a Wizard who probably came from beyond the heavens. Therefore, looking at the map in his hand, Wizard Tambert was forced into a dilemma of choosing between two difficult options.

“Sir Wizard, outside Tagan City, there’s a big group of Spell Casters approaching. They seem like Wizards from Eternal Night Mountain!”

Right at this moment, a red-robed Wizard came quietly to Wizard Tambert and reported the news.

“Huh? They’ve arrived? So soon?”

Wizard Tambert’s heart skipped a beat. The Spell Casters on Eternal Night Mountain must have all pledged their allegiance to that mysterious Spell Caster from beyond the heavens, Wizard Merlin.

Now that they had come to Tagan City, their purpose was as clear as day. Surely it was to get that map to the mine. It was time for him to make a choice.

If he were to give up on this huge elemental crystal stone mine, Wizard Tambert was somewhat reluctant. However, due to his dread of Spell Casters from beyond the heavens, he also dared not go head-first against Merlin.

After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to go out and see for himself. If Merlin truly was a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens, then regardless of the value of the mine, he would have to give it up.

...

Not too far from Tagan City, there was indeed a group of Spell Casters flying toward it at full speed.

“Master, Tagan City is right in front. Should we start preparing?”

Wizard Darknight who was following behind Merlin asked cautiously.

“Prepare? That’s not necessary. It’s just Tagan City. Wwhat do we have to prepare?”

Merlin squinted his eyes at the approaching Tagan City. With his current abilities, dealing with Tagan City was as easy as ABC, so no preparations were needed.

Therefore, they proceeded toward Tagan City. Finally, they had arrived at the fringes of Tagan City but it was unusually quiet.

“Something’s wrong!”

Wizard Darknight frowned. He had come to Tagan City before so, he immediately realized that something was off. While Tagan City was dwindling, it would not be as quiet as this.

“Nothing’s wrong but someone is here!”

Merlin already used his Mind Power to sweep through Tagan City, and discovered the Spell Casters in long Wizard robes. Naturally, he knew that these were the clothes of Spell Casters from Tagan City.

“Swish swish swish.”

Soon, many Spell Casters flew out from Tagan City, all of them wearing the long red Wizard robes. Wizard Darknight was shocked and heightened his guard immediately.

“They’re Spell Casters from Bisque City. Did Tagan City gift the map to Bisque City?”

Wizard Darknight immediately thought of this possibility. Indeed, if push came to shove, Tagan City might have made such a decision.

If Bisque City was really involved, then it would become very troublesome. Although Wizard Darknight had confidence in Merlin, Wizard Tambert from Bisque City had long since established an unshakable position of authority in his mind. As the number one person in Bisque City, the Seventh-level Wizard Tambert enjoyed a very high status in the vicinity.

“Haha, is that Wizard Merlin and Wizard Darknight?”

After the appearance of countless red-robed Wizards from Tagan City, a loud booming voice sounded, followed by a stout and robust figure emerging from the city. The figure glided on air and eventually came to a stop in front of Merlin.

Merlin’s eyes widened slightly as he gauged this Spell Caster before him. There was no doubt that this was a very powerful Seventh-level Wizard. The elemental fluctuations on his body were so pronounced that even Merlin was slightly pensive.

As the controller of innumerable cities, despite his greed, Wizard Tambert’s abilities could not be doubted. He, too, possessed Fusion Pandora Demon Ability, and most probably had cultivated it to its third form.

Merlin had always held high regard for Seventh-level Spell Casters who had cultivated Pandora Demon Abilities to their third forms!

“Wizard Tambert!”

Merlin greeted calmly. He believed that his opponent was also sizing him up. However, Merlin was not the least fearful. He gradually allowed some of the elemental fluctuations from his Fifth-level spells to spread out.

That way, the opponent would easily find out that he was only a Fourth-level Spell Caster who constructed some Fifth-level spells, which was still a large gap away from the Seventh-level.

On the other hand, Merlin had his sight set on the frayed yellowish map in Tambert’s hands. It was most probably the map to the elemental crystal stone mine that Merlin wanted.

As soon as Wizard Tambert emerged from the city, his gaze had been affixed on Merlin. He carefully gauged Merlin until he had sensed the Fifth-level spell fluctuations coming from him. Even then, he remained doubtful.

“It’s just a Fourth-level Spell Caster who managed to construct a few Fifth-level spells? Hmph, I’ve overestimated you. What complete nonsense about the Spell Caster from beyond the heavens! I can’t imagine you would actually dare to show up here today...”

Wizard Tambert heaved a long sigh of relief. It was only after he sensed the elemental fluctuations on Merlin that he thought that he had a firm grasp of Merlin’s abilities and had unveiled his identity. Thus, Wizard Tambert began to exude a concentrated slew of murderous intent.

Previously, Tambert had slaughtered ceaselessly, and killed countless Spell Casters. Why would he allow Merlin, a mere Fourth-level Spell Caster who was competing with him for the elemental crystal stone mine map, go free?

“Kill them all!”

Tambert had fully let down his guard, and waved his hand. In an instant, the two Sixth-level Wizards flashed forward hundreds of meters, both their bodies exuding vicious auras.

“Incinerating Fire!”

Merlin’s expression was indifferent as he extended five fingers. Immediately, balls of pale white flames shot out from his five pale fingers.

The flames combined and emitted a terrifying heat. The scorching temperature lingered in the air. Inside the wall of flames, the expressions of the two initially aloof-looking Sixth-level Wizards changed dramatically. They suddenly discovered that their defensive robes were completely useless toward these seemingly tiny flames.

The pale white flames burned increasingly stronger and rapidly engulfed these two Sixth-level Spell Casters in a sea of fire. Their Wizard robes, which had been rendered useless, were completely unable to withstand the burning flames.

Not too long after, the two Sixth-level Spell Casters had been burned to ashes by these pale white flames. They had not even gotten anywhere close to Merlin.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin turned his gaze to Tambert.
