Chapter 116: Mission II
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Merlin and Laurinka both stayed in the Mission Hall meditating. Approximately after two hours, a gray-robed Wizard approached the two and said monotonously, “Come here. A team of four has been established for this mission.”
Merlin and Laurinka stood up and followed the gray-robed Wizard to the front.
“The two?”
Merlin saw a male and a female Spell Casters in front. The male Spell Caster wore a long white robe. Mysterious runes were carved on his robe that could only be sensed by Mind Power. This long robe was a casting tool.
Only after being promoted to an official member of the Dark Magic Region, a set of robe like this would be given to the person for free. However, this man’s robe was obviously different from that of the official members. It should be something he exchanged for in the Resource Tower.
Merlin once saw the casting tools in the Resource Tower but the price was shockingly high. Any small casting tool would require hundreds of contribution points. Meanwhile, the man’s robe required at least fifty to one hundred contribution points as it was a luxurious item.
The white-robed Wizard turned around. As he saw Merlin and Laurinka, he furrowed his eyebrows immediately.
“Which Wizard’s tower do both of you belong to?” the man asked pridefully.
Laurinka’s expression did not waver. She seemed to have gotten used to this. Just from the man’s robe, she knew that he must have come from a wealthy background. He might be a genius from a large Spell Caster family so it was normal for him to have an air of arrogance.
“We’re Teacher Leo’s students. I’m Laurinka.”
Merlin stepped forward and said monotonously, “I’m Merlin!”
“Hmm? It’s you?”
Suddenly, the female Wizard beside the white-robed Wizard turned around, feeling surprised.
Merlin nodded and said with a smile, “I didn’t manage to say my thanks to you last time. I apologize for that!”
This female Wizard was the slightly chubby one Merlin asked at the Resource Tower last time. He did not expect to see her accepting this mission.
The white-robed man turned sideways and asked, “Ryllis, you know him?”
The slightly chubby Wizard gave a small smile and nodded. “We met at the Resource Tower before.”
After a slight pause, she pointed at the white-robed Wizard and said, “He’s Wizard Holmes. I’m Ryllis. We’re both Teacher Gretel’s students.”
“You’re Wizard Holmes?”
Laurinka expressed a hint of surprise and stared straight at the white-robed Wizard.
“That’s right. I’m Holmes!”
Wizard Holmes’ expression was overflowing with confidence as he continued, “Since we’ve all accepted this mission, let’s make an appointment to depart to Donglin City five days later.”
Laurinka soon resumed her calmness and exchanged a glance with Merlin and then nodded. “Alright. Five days later, we’ll depart to Donglin City.”
All of them should prepare themselves well in this five days’ time. Since there was still a certain amount of danger associated with this mission, no one knew what they would encounter in Donglin City.
Following that, Wizard Holmes and Wizard Ryllis left the Mission Hall. Merlin gazed at them leaving and asked Laurinka softly, “Wizard Laurinka, what’s so special about this Holmes?”
When she heard that the man was Holmes, Laurinka appeared very surprised, which was why Merlin asked her this question.
Laurinka wore a complicated expression as she said in a low voice, “Wizard Holmes has just been in the Dark Magic Region for a year but he has already made a name for himself. He learns under the infamous Wizard Gretel. Under Wizard Gretel’s teaching, he has created Four-Elemental spell in a year. Moreover, he has received this mission now. It seems that he’s confident to create a First-level spell and he’s ready to become a First-level spell Caster.”
Merlin nodded. This Holmes must be quite strong. On top of that, he was a genius. Although Four-Elemental Spell Caster only had one more spell than Three-Elemental Wizard, it was a truly difficult feat to achieve. Adding one more spell required multiple amounts of energy no matter in terms of creating a Spell Model or of Mind Power.
Other than those confident genius Spell Casters, no one would be willing to create one more spell. However, once one had become a Four-Elemental Wizard, he would be standing at the top of Spell Casters.
In the Dark Magic Region, Four-Elemental Spell Casters were rather rare. It was no wonder that Holmes’ expression was overflowing with confidence and arrogance.
Seeing that Merlin was keeping silent, Laurinka thought he was a little uncomfortable with Holmes’ arrogant tone earlier. Thus, she flashed a smile at him. “Wizard Merlin, Wizard Holmes’ attitude is considered still decent. We’re Teacher Leo’s students. In the Dark Magic Region, that basically indicated that we’re Spell Casters with the smallest potential and the worst quality. Up to eighty percent of chance that we’ll be expelled from the Dark Magic Region after three years. At least Wizard Holmes is still willing to execute the mission with us other than having an arrogant attitude. Back in those days, some students of Teacher Leo accepted mission here. Once their partners knew that they’re Teacher Leo’s students, they would immediately abort the mission.”
When Laurinka said this, she wore a bitter expression. It appeared that she was hopeless about the situation as she had experienced such incident before.
Merlin gave a smile but he remained quiet. Why would he fuss over such a small matter?
“Let’s go. We should go back and get ready.”
Merlin said, then left the Mission Hall with Laurinka. They returned to the tower and began their preparation.
When he was back in Wizard Leo’s tower, Merlin began his preparations. After all, this was his first mission and it was even associated with a certain amount of danger, so he must not be careless.
After careful consideration, Merlin found Laurinka and borrowed five contribution points from her. Laurinka also agreed to it generously and did not ask anything. Merlin was deeply grateful for that in his heart.
With these five contribution points and the remaining three contribution points Merlin had, he had a total of eight contribution points. This meant that it was enough for him to exchange for the spell, Thunderbolt Net.
Without a moment of hesitation, he went to the Resource Tower and exchanged for the spell Thunderbolt Net. Although half of his Mind Power was consumed by Dark Mist, it was still enough to create another level-zero spell. It was just not as easy as he created level-zero spells before.
After spending a whole day, Merlin had successfully simulated Thunderbolt Net in his Awareness.
With Thunderbolt Net, Merlin had truly become a Six-Elemental Wizard. His initially strong Mind Power was almost depleted now. He could barely maintain six level-zero spell Models now. If he wanted to create a First-level spell, then his Mind Power must be greatly improved.
A Six-Elemental Spell Caster required double or triple the usual Mind Power of a Three-Elemental Wizard. It was already difficult to achieve the requirement for Mind Power, not to mention creating a complicated First-level spell Model. This resulted in the low number of Spell Casters who could reach Three-Elemental and above.
Although Merlin just created Gale, Dark Mist, and Thunderbolt Net, he had only created them recently. The Magic Power accumulated in them was still low. If he only needed to deal with normal danger, it would still be sufficient. However, no one knew what would happen during this mission in Donglin City, so he should give all he could to strengthen himself.
Therefore, Merlin spent his last three contribution points to exchange for Wind, Darkness and Thunder elemental crystal stones at the Resource Tower.
With these elemental crystal stones, the speed of accumulating Magic Power for Merlin’s newly created Spell Models would greatly increase.
After these preparations, Merlin stayed at ease in the tower. As he utilized the elemental crystal stones to increase his Magic Power, he silently waited for the arrival day to execute the mission.
