Chapter 556: Zado’s Arrival
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Pavilion of Rarities, Merlin was downcast. He looked at Legend Sith outside who was “blocking the exit” so openly. Clearly, he was waiting outside for Merlin. Once Merlin exited the Pavilion of Rarities, he would be seized by Legend Sith.
Luce was also full of dismay, having no ideas left. He could only mumble over and over, “What do we do? What do we do?”
Merlin glanced at the black cat Didimoss on his shoulder, asking gently, “Didimoss, how are you doing?”
The black cat Didimoss shook his head feebly. “Nothing too bad. However, by forcibly swallowing Legend Sith’s Maxim, I’ve really ‘overstuffed’ myself. I’m afraid I’ll need a very long time to slowly recover. Merlin, I can’t help you much now. You’d better contact that old fellow Zado quickly. With him around, Legend Sith outside would be no match.”
It was not as if Merlin did not know that he should inform Legend Zado. Legend Zado had even placed a rune on Merlin, which he could unleash in times of crisis.
However, based on Legend Sith’s manner, since this involved such a gigantic lode, a mere projection of Legend Zado would surely be insufficient in convincing Legend Sith to let the matter go. Legend Zado would have to come here himself.
It was just that Legend Zado was in Arcane City. The vast Void Zone contained no space nor time, and there was no way to communicate across it.
Suddenly, Merlin eyed the Spell Casters in the Pavilion of Rarities, and his heart leaped. He immediately asked a female Spell Caster beside him, “Who’s the Wizard in charge of the Pavilion of Rarities?”
“It’s the Great Wizard Leto.”
Merlin bobbed his head. “Please invite the Great Wizard Leto here. I have an important matter to discuss with him.”
The female Wizard shot Merlin a doubtful look. Legend Sith outside was watching them like a tiger, evidently not about to give up. However, not only did Merlin show no signs of panic, he appeared calm and composed instead.
What point was there in inviting the Great Wizard Leto? Was Merlin really counting on the Pavilion of Rarities to step in, and ask Legend Sith to leave?
Many thoughts flashed across the female Wizard’s head. In her opinion, Merlin could only stay forever in the Pavilion of Rarities. Moreover, as he had offended Legend Sith, the more time passed, the more unfavorable the situation was for Merlin.
“Wizard Merlin, what use is there in looking for the Great Wizard Leto? The Pavilion of Rarities would not chase us out but they surely won’t help us confront Legend Sith either.”
Wizard Luce seemed to have the same thoughts. No matter how remorseful he was, there was no point in regrets. Now, the most important thing was to think of a way out.
Merlin laughed softly. “Wizard Luce, I still haven’t clarified my identity to you. When the Great Wizard Leto has arrived, I’ll explain everything. Don’t worry, I have a plan to deal with Legend Sith.”
Upon hearing Merlin’s words, Wizard Luce widened his eyes in astonishment. It was true. After so long, Wizard Luce still did not know Merlin’s identity – where he came from, and so on.
“Haha, is there anything I can help with?”
Soon enough, the Great Wizard Leto appeared before Merlin. This was a powerful Great Wizard who was at the peak, already beginning to consolidate a Maxim.
“Great Wizard Leto, I’d like to ask the Pavilion of Rarities for a favor.”
Merlin took a deep breath and requested softly.
“A favor?’
The Great Wizard Leto gave a stiff smile as he glanced at Legend Sith outside, then said in a low voice, “Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, if this is about Legend Sith, we’re powerless as well. A Legend with two Maxims – although we at the Pavilion of Rarities aren’t afraid, we’re not willing to anger him either.”
The Pavilion of Rarities was backed by a few Great Legends as well. Naturally, they would not provoke the Legend Sith without reason purely for Merlin’s sake. This was also one of the most important reasons the Pavilion of Rarities had done so well in the Shkedu Dimension for they had never caused trouble.
Merlin shook his head. “Great Wizard Leto, you misunderstood me. I don’t want your Pavilion of Rarities to handle Legend Sith. I only wish for one of your Wizards to make a trip to Arcane City, to bring a message to Legend Zado for me.”
“Huh? Arcane City? Wizard Merlin is a Potential Wizard from Arcane City?”
The Great Wizard Leto now widened his eyes. Arcane City was the “sacred place” of the entire Spell Caster civilization. It was founded by the true pillars of the Spell Caster civilization – the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.
It could be said that the Potential Wizards of Arcane City were equivalent to the “disciples” of the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. However, of course, they could not compare to disciples who were taken on personally. Moreover, the influences of the Potential Wizards themselves were often tangled and complex, with many of them supported by Great Legends.
Therefore, once a Potential Wizard had left Arcane City, Arcane City would not pay any attention to what happened outside.
Even so, a Potential Wizard of Arcane City held a rather high status. Only those rather freakish Spell Casters were able to enter Arcane City. Their chances of becoming a Legend were also far higher than Spell Casters from elsewhere.
In addition, Merlin had mentioned Legend Zado, and was most likely Legend Zado’s disciple.
“Wizard Merlin, are you Legend Zado’s disciple?”
The Great Wizard Leto asked cautiously. Compared to Arcane City, Merlin’s identity as Legend Zado’s disciple was undoubtedly the more threatening one because Legend Zado was an exceedingly protective Spell Caster, and a top-notch Legend with five Maxims to boot. He was only second to an Honored Legend, and once he became an Honored Legend, he would be prominent among Honored Legends too.
To go one step further, considering the potential of Legend Zado’s five Maxims, no one would be surprised if he became a Great King in the future.
“That’s right, I’m the disciple of Teacher Zado! However, now I’m trapped here with no way to communicate with my teacher, so I’d like to ask Great Wizard Leto for help.”
Indeed, he was the disciple of Legend Zado. It was not surprising that Merlin was assured of a safety net. He was still so calm despite a Great Legend “blocking the exit”. With Legend Zado as his support, naturally, he was unafraid of anyone.
A smile stretched across the Great Wizard Leto’s face. It was just bringing a message, which was a small matter, so he gradually replied, “There are three Arcane Cities. Which Arcane City is it?”
“It’s Santo Arcane City. Here’s a rune. Hold on to it, and activate it upon entering Arcane City. Teacher Zado would know then.”
Merlin handed over Legend Zado’s rune to the Great Wizard Leto. As for the Blackfire King, he was still a “secret”. The Blackfire King did not like others knowing about his relationship with Merlin, so Merlin was not about to disturb him over this matter. With Legend Zado, he could easily resolve this issue.
“So, it’s Santo Arcane City. What a long journey away…”
“Five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones!”
Merlin said resolutely. The Pavilion of Rarities would not help Merlin without a good reason. It was just elemental crystal stones, after all. In addition, for all that Merlin lacked now, he did not lack elemental crystal stones.
Moreover, if Legend Zado showed up, and dealt with Legend Sith when they went back to the Satsuma Dimension with its giant lode, Merlin would not need to worry about not having enough elemental crystal stones anymore.
“Haha, be rest assured, Wizard Merlin. We’ll hurry to Arcane City as fast as we can! It’ll take two months at most but we’ll certainly bring your message.”
“In that case, thank you for your trouble, Great Wizard Leto.”
Thereafter, Merlin gave five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones to the Great Wizard Leto, who hastily turned to leave, and make preparations.
Next to Merlin, Wizard Luce waited until the Great Wizard Leto had walked away before finally bursting out, “Wizard Merlin, you’ve really kept me in the dark so agonizingly. So, you’re Legend Zado’s disciple! In the Satsuma Dimension, did you already plan for the worst?”
Merlin smiled without saying anything but Wizard Luce understood everything now. It turned out that Merlin had never been afraid of Legend Sith from the start. At worst, he could look for Legend Zado. It must be known that Legend Zado with his five Maxims, stood at the peak of ordinary Legends, second only to the powerful Honored Legends.
With such powerful backing, Merlin was naturally unafraid of Legend Sith. Conversely, it was Luce who, without knowing anything, followed Merlin in taking such a massive risk.
Still, after thinking about it, Wizard Luce finally heaved a sigh of relief. After this adventure, he believed that when Legend Zado had arrived, and they had gained control of the Satsuma Dimension, he would not miss out on the profits either.
Merlin and Luce both exhaled, and relaxed completely. They just had to silently wait for Legend Zado to arrive. However, Legend Sith who had been waiting outside was now becoming restless.
“Are they really planning to wait in the Pavilion of Rarities forever? This won’t do. If this goes on, and too much time passes, the Satsuma Dimension would really become implicated in this mess. I must settle this matter as soon as possible!”
After some thought, Legend Sith finally decided to inform his elder brother, Legend Arnie. Perhaps only Legend Arnie’s appearance would make the Pavilion of Rarities hand over both Merlin and Luce.
It was just that this would make the kinship between Legend Sith and Legend Arnie public. Nonetheless, for the Satsuma Dimension, it was worth it to sacrifice the relationship that they had purposely kept hidden!
With this in mind, Legend Sith sent for a slave, and said quietly, “Invite Elder Brother here!”
Upon hearing Sith mentioning his “Elder Brother”, the slave could not help but reveal their consternation.
“Go on, quickly go and quickly return!”
With a wave of Legend Sith’s hand, his slave promptly left the Shkedu Dimension…
…
In the peaceful residence, Merlin dressed in a black robe was silently watching Fire-, Thunder-, and Wind-type spells in his hand.
These three spells had been fused successfully. Next, Merlin wanted to fuse the fourth type of spell but this was somewhat challenging. Initially, Wind-type spells and Ice-type spells could fuse together, and Merlin wanted to start from there.
However, after trying this out, he found that it was too difficult. The slightest contact between Ice-type and Fire-type spells immediately caused an explosion. Merlin had tried countless times only to result in failure at last.
“Wizard Merlin, it’s been two months. Why hasn’t Legend Zado arrived?”
Wizard Luce was bored and restless, watching Merlin fused spells by his side. Although he was a Ninth-level Spell Caster as well, simply watching Merlin’s spell fusion was frightening enough, to say nothing of fusing Spell Models.
Unless necessary, Wizard Luce would not consider fusing Spell Models. If he had failed, he would be doomed forever!
“Wait just a little longer, perhaps…”
Merlin suddenly perked up, and raised his head, looking in front.
In the residence, an unfamiliar Wizard who appeared imposing, had come in at an unknown time.
“Teacher Zado!”
Merlin’s eyes shone with joy. This unfamiliar Wizard before them was Merlin’s teacher, Arcane City’s Legend-in-residence, a powerful Wizard who had created five Maxims – Legend Zado!
“Heh, Merlin, as expected of my disciple. Tell me, what happened? You’ve only been out for a while, and already you’ve stirred up so much trouble? Earlier, I noticed Legend Sith outside, guarding the door furiously. His expression of sky-high resentment really made me wonder, what did you do to anger him?”
Legend Zado wore a humorless smile, which actually made Merlin relieved. At least, from Legend Zado’s tone, he did not seem to think that Legend Sith was much of a threat…
Therefore, Merlin sent away the Wizards of the Pavilion of Rarities, and carefully narrated the entire story of the Satsuma Dimension.
