Chapter 479: Ambiance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The peak of the mountain was extremely vast. At first, Merlin did not realize it but the more he walked toward the palace, the more he saw many smaller buildings. Some were domes and some were spires, and there were even some tall towers that were built in tight clusters. At a glance, there seemed to be several hundreds of them.
Beside him, Wizard Dara did not forget to introduce the place. “Wizard Merlin, these are the living spaces for the Glorious Wizards inside the Glorious Palace. Here, the Glorious Wizards have utmost freedom. Although they’re called Glorious Wizards, it’s actually just a name. The Glorious Wizards aren’t confined to the Glorious Palace, and can usually go wherever they want.”
Merlin nodded. He also noticed that a considerable portion of these buildings was empty, so the Glorious Wizards must have left.
Nevertheless, there were tight clusters of hundreds of buildings, which meant that there were at least a hundred Ninth-level Spell Casters here. This was a fearsome number. Merlin did not know how many Ninth-level Spell Casters were there in the Glorious Land but in the southern Spell Caster world, it was unimaginable that there were hundreds of Ninth-level Wizards. If any of the large spell casters’ organization had hundreds of Ninth-level Wizards, they would quickly squash all the other large organizations.
Moreover, this was only the Ninth-level Glorious Wizards. Inside the Glorious Palace, there were also the mysterious Great Wizards. Those Great Wizards were the true apex of the Glorious Palace.
The white-robed Wizard turned back to look at Wizard Dara. In a curious tone, he asked, “It seems like you’re quite familiar with the Glorious Palace. Have you been to the Glorious Palace before?”
Wizard Dara did not dare to brag, so he hurriedly replied, “I’ve entered the Glorious Pavilion once.”
“I see, you’ve entered the Glorious Pavilion before. Not bad, you’re quite good. If you’ve really destroyed the wicked god’s believers this time and completed the mission, most likely you’ll be able to enter the Glorious Pavilion again. It’s rare for someone to enter the Glorious Pavilion twice before becoming a Glorious Wizard. You have a chance of becoming a Glorious Wizard!”
Upon hearing that Wizard Dara had entered the Glorious Pavilion before, the white-robed Wizard’s attitude warmed up significantly. He now regarded Wizard Dara as a Wizard of equal status. After all, someone who had managed to enter the Glorious Pavilion twice was basically almost bound to become a Glorious Wizard in the future.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the palace gate. This palace was incredibly sprawling. Standing at the palace gate, the three of them appeared inconceivably tiny. Hanging subtly over the lavish palatial gate were some Runic Magic Circles.
These Runic Magic Circles dumbfounded Merlin. With his current understanding of runes, he could tell that these Runic Magic Circles were highly advanced.
“Runic Heartprint!”
Merlin secretly activated the Runic Heartprint and it began to loom in between his brows. Through the Runic Heartprint, Merlin discovered that the Runic Magic Circles were truly complicated.
If he had relied on the Runic Heartprint, he would be able to break through the Runic Magic Circles on the gate but it would take a lot of time. This array of Runic Magic Circles was the most complicated that Merlin had seen to date.
It was important to note that Merlin’s Runic Heartprint was created with the lifetime work of the Great Wizard Fidel. In the field of runology, Great Wizard Fidel was renowned, and even the Great Legendary Wizards might not be comparable to the Great Wizard in his understanding of runology.
Therefore, Merlin did not believe that there was another Great Wizard who would possess the same depth of understanding in runology as the Great Wizard Fidel. Furthermore, the Runic Magic Circles on the gate had a residual trace of the aura of the Maxim.
This meant that these Runic Magic Circles were probably placed by the only Legendary Wizard in the entire dimension, Wizard Mogan. Only a Legendary Wizard would be able to possess and use the power of Maxims.
“Creak.”
The white-robed Wizard carved out a few runes, and the heavyset door slowly swung open. Merlin and Wizard Dara quickly looked into the palace and saw that there were several Spell Casters inside the palace.
The auras on every one of these Spell Casters were not weaker than the white-robed Wizard. In fact, there were also some who were even more powerful!
“This is the relaxation zone. Usually, the Glorious Wizards would come here to exchange their discoveries as well as the occasional spells.”
The white-robed explained softly. Merlin, too, saw that the Glorious Wizards were sitting in twos and threes, gathered with their close friends, discussing their discoveries in a low voice.
This ambiance was something that Merlin had never yet witnessed before. Back when he was in Udon Fort on the Kurdmansla Islands, the members had been very united but that was as far as it went. Such a conducive ambiance had never existed.
These Glorious Wizards seemed not to care about guarding their own secrets. Whenever they had some new discoveries or progress, they were willing to reach out to a few close friends and discuss it with each other. Surrounded by such a conducive ambiance, Merlin knew that many of the Spell Casters would be able to improve their abilities very quickly. In all likelihood, their abilities would improve many times faster than Great Wizards who emerged anywhere else.
The white-robed Wizard appeared to be proud of it. Seeing the amazement on Merlin’s face, he smiled. “This conducive ambiance was introduced by the Great Wizard Mogan. Back then, he distinguished himself from the crowd and set an example starting with himself. He would personally interact and engage in discussions with some of the Great Wizards. Gradually, a conducive ambiance like this was created. Therefore, only a Glorious Wizard who had truly hit a dead-end would leave the Glorious Palace to seek other opportunities. Otherwise, they would stay in the Glorious Palace. With the experiences left behind by Wizard Mogan coupled by such a conducive ambiance, the chances for a Ninth-level Wizard to become a Great Wizard is increased manyfold.”
Indeed, with such an ambiance, nobody would be willing to leave.
Wizard Dara also agreed. “Yes, the Great Wizard Mogan descended to this dimension and redeemed us from the hands of the wicked god. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to produce so many Great Wizards, and even more impossible to create such a prosperous Spell Caster civilization.”
Wizard Mogan occupied a very noble position in the eyes of every Spell Caster. He was an open-minded, powerful Legendary Wizard who did not hold back from sharing his knowledge in spells, alchemy, potions, runology, and many more. His actions gave the Normies in this dimension an opportunity to possess powers that were comparable to the gods. In a way, he had indeed redeemed the lives in this entire dimension.
The more Merlin learned about Wizard Mogan’s deeds, the more he grew curious of him. Nevertheless, in his current state, Merlin was still ineligible to meet a Legendary Great Wizard like Wizard Mogan.
“Wizard Gritte, these two Wizards are here to submit their mission. According to them, they had destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine!”
The white-robed Wizard led Merlin and Wizard Dara to the front of the great hall. In that place was a transparent crystal counter. Sitting behind the counter was a Spell Caster who was having a shut-eye.
This Spell Caster did not contain any trace of life or elemental fluctuations. He was covered in a black cape and wore leather gloves, so he looked eerily strange.
Nevertheless, Merlin was extremely cautious and dared not regard this Wizard Gritte with the least bit of disdain. The reason was that this Great Wizard was in charge of the submission of missions in the entire Glorious Palace!
A Great Wizard without any elemental fluctuations was truly unheard of. If not for the fact that Wizard Dara had already mentioned the name of this Great Wizard to him as well as the deep respect shown by the white-robed Wizard, Merlin would not have guessed that this strangely dressed, “trendy”-looking Spell Caster was a powerful Great Wizard!
“Are you the ones who destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine?”
Wizard Gritte regarded both Wizard Dara and Merlin with a careless glance.
“Yes, we did. This is the Memory Crystal that recorded the process in which we destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine. Wizard Gritte, please take a look.”
As he spoke, Wizard Dara hurriedly handed in the Memory Crystal.
Wizard Gritte did not hold back at all. He took the Memory Crystal and immediately immersed his Mind Power into the Memory Crystal to check the information inside.
The amount of information was quite large, therefore even a Great Wizard would require some time to view it. Thus, Merlin and Wizard Dara simply sat down and waited quietly for Wizard Gritte to pass his decision.
It was unbeknownst how much time passed by. Both Wizard Dara and Merlin kept a close watch on Wizard Gritte’s expression. In the beginning, his expression was extremely calm but it quickly changed. Perhaps, judging from the large amount of information contained, he realized that destroying the believers of the wicked god and the shrine was not as easy as it seemed. Wizard Gritte’s expression turned more and more solemn, and finally, there was a hint of surprise.
Seeing that, Wizard Dara and Merlin had a strong feeling that the information inside the Memory Crystal had satisfied Wizard Gritte.
Soon, Wizard Gritte opened his eyes. This time, his eyes swept back and forth between Merlin and Wizard Dara. He nodded and said, “Not bad, you’ve completed the mission, and even killed the god that was just birthed into consciousness. You also destroyed the shrine. Your mission was completed perfectly. You can enter the Glorious Pavilion!”
Thus, Wizard Gritte immediately handed two black nameplates which were engraved with mysterious runes to Merlin and Wizard Dara. On top of the nameplate, the words “Glorious Pavilion” was carved.
“This is the nameplate of the Glorious Pavilion. Only with this nameplate, you would be allowed to enter the Glorious Pavilion. The Glorious Pavilion has a protective force so it’s impossible to enter without the nameplate. You just have to use your Mind Power to activate the nameplate but remember, these two nameplates will only last for a day. Once its time lapses, the nameplates will become useless, and you’ll be directly sent out of the Glorious Pavilion by its protective force.”
Wizard Gritte briefly explained the use of these two nameplates. Since Wizard Dara had entered the Glorious Pavilion before, he naturally understood its rules.
“You can go to the Glorious Pavilion now.”
Gritte waved his hand and allowed Wizard Dara and Merlin to leave.
After the two of them left, Wizard Gritte’s expression turned grave. In a low voice, he mumbled, “That must be the special Pandora Demon Ability Darkness Eye! How unexpected that it appeared here and belongs on the body of a mere Fourth-level Spell Caster. I must report this to Wizard Mogan immediately!”
Wizard Gritte immediately stood up and walked into a hidden Runic Magic Circle. He activated the Runic Magic Circle and disappeared without a trace. It was unknown where the Runic Magic Circle transported him to…
