Lady Phillie, who was dressed in a lady-like manner, sat graciously on a chair along with a couple of elderly persons in a secret chamber within the headquarters of the trade alliance in Boulder City.
“Phillie, let’s talk about the mysterious wizard that you brought back. What exactly was going on?” asked a ruddy, silver-haired elderly person in a hoarse voice.
Lady Phillie had some doubts, these people in front of her were those who held power over Boulder City. They were the elders of the trade alliance, and their consents were needed for everything in the trade alliance. Even her position as president had to be endorsed by these fellow elders.
Thus, Lady Phillie dare not hold back any information from them.
“Fellow elders, it is a complicated matter regarding this Merlin…”
With that, Lady Phillie recounted everything that had happened outside of the city, word for word. The Elders took in a deep breath when they heard the bizarre way Merlin descended, how he easily slew Wizard Darknight’s three acolytes and finally, how Wizard Darknight become Merlin’s slave.
“Phillie, don’t bother about this Merlin anymore. No one in the entire Boulder City shall trifle with Wizard Merlin!”
The elder’s voice became very harsh, which caused Lady Phillie to be doubtful. She had never seen the Elders so anxious before, not even during the wars in Tagan City.
“Elders, this…”
Just when Madame Phillie was about to ask further questions, one of the Elders interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said, “Phillie, you are still young. Although you are gifted in the trading field which forced Tagan City to use such despicable moves, your knowledge towards spell caster is still too little.”
The elder paused before he continued, “Do you know what’s the identity of this mysterious Wizard Merlin? Heh… If I’d guessed correctly, he must be the legendary spell caster from beyond the heavens”
“Spell caster from beyond the heavens? What do you mean?”
Clearly, Lady Phillie had never heard of any spell casters from beyond the heavens, nor what it meant. She was merely an entry-level spell caster with a gift in the trading world. She was still clueless with respect to the many mysteries regarding spell casters.
“It’s futile explaining to you what spell casters from beyond the heavens means. All in all, spell casters from beyond the heavens are very powerful. Most of them were legendary Great Wizards. Phillie, you must know what Great Wizards means, don’t you? No matter how this Wizard Merlin behaves toward Boulder City, we shouldn’t trifle towards the possibility that he may be a Great Wizard, a powerful spell caster.”
Chills went down Lady Phillie’s spine. Although she had high expectation towards this Merlin still, she was surprised by how terrifying Wizard Merlin was. She believed every word by the elder because no one was more knowledgeable than this particular elder within Boulder City.
When the elder used to travel the world, he was able to visit the Glorious Palace once. If the elder said that Wizard Merlin could be a Great Wizard, that was likely close to the truth.
Such Great Wizards are no good news to Boulder City. Any affiliations with a Great Wizard, even just a little, could easily destroy Boulder City.
It was clear what the Elder meant. Avoid getting close to Merlin and it would be best if could Merlin were to leave Boulder City voluntarily.
After all, Boulder City which possesses such a small influence could never contain the arrival of a Great Wizard.
…
The second day, Merlin was wondering the streets with Wizard Darknight. Aside from wanting to understand the many cultures in Boulder City, Merlin’s main objective was to find the entrance to the Glorious Palace, to see the spells or potions.
The Glorious Palace span over the entire dimension and was built by the legendary Wizard Mogan. Naturally, Wizard Merlin would want to have a look.
Under the guidance of Wizard Darknight, Merlin easily located the bustling point of trading within Boulder City, the Glorious Palace’s station. It was bustling with activities among the crowds.
However, most of the crowd were made up of Normies who did not become spell casters. Perhaps, they were here to purchase some Mind Meditation Spell or spells to see if they could become a spell caster.
It was rare for proper wizards like Merlin and Darknight, much less very powerful wizards to be entering the Glorious Palace’s station.
As soon as they walked into the Glorious Palace’s station, there were two spell casters reclining lazily on the chair. They stayed in their positions without batting an eye even upon Merlin and Darknight’s approach.
“Master, let’s go. These people in Glorious Palace’s station will only be interested if we were to purchase some spells or potions.”
Merlin nodded. Although these spell casters were only people of Glorious Palace’s station, Merlin could feel their inner pride and nobility. It was as if being a station wizard at the Glorious Palace was an extremely honorable thing.
Merlin walked straight in and saw the crowd purchasing some spells or Mind Meditation Spell. Merlin casually flipped through and read some unique Runic Magic Circle. He could not see the content but he was able to read the introduction.
For example, Merlin had on his hand a volume named Gerdo Mind Meditation Spell. At first, Merlin picked up the book on a whim and did not pay much attention to it.
However, upon reading the introduction on the book cover, Merlin’s face became more stern.
This ordinary Mind Meditation Spell was only a volume of entry-level medication spell, but its effect was up to par with Wizard Leo’s high-level meditation spells which Merlin received when he was in Dark Magic Region.
“This is an ordinary Mind Meditation Spell?” Merlin could not help but asked Darknight.
Darknight took a quick look and nodded with slight doubt, “Precisely, these are ordinary meditation spells. There are also some high-level, and even some ultimate-level meditation spells here. The effects are mind-blowing. However, I’ve heard that ultimate-level meditation spells are only available in the Glorious Palace. The spells available outside were only limited to high-level Mind Meditation Spells.”
Darknight’s words caused confusion in Merlin’s head. He thought of a possibility, and that was the legacy of Glorious Land was not passed on. In fact, it was possible that many of the Mind Meditation Spells were very fragmented, and could only be pieced together by the wizards afterward.
These fragmented Meditation Spells could be practiced once completed, but the effects were not as before. An indirect observation could be made that the loss of legacy amongst the spell casters of the Glorious Land was such a dire consequence.
This was occupied by an ordinary Legendary Wizard. Hence, it could be said the meditation spells and spells were all from the sole distribution of one legendary wizard.
This Wizard Mogan, he must have lived through the glorious times for a spell caster. These Meditation Spells should have been the ones practiced by ordinary spell caster during the glorious times. It was indeed much more powerful than the Meditation Spell obtained by Merlin at the Glorious Land by leaps and bounds.
Merlin had begun to understand why he was a mere Fourth-level spell caster whose mind power had not achieved Seventh-level. Those Mind Meditation Spell had almost no effect on him. Hence, he could only rely on some potions to extend his mind power.
He had also understood that it was not due to the lack of effect of the Mind Meditation Spell, but rather he had not found a better Mind Meditation Spell. This was the true Mind Meditation Spell!
Naturally, the Mind Meditation Spells here in the Glorious Palace were merely entry-level meditation spells. It could hardly do any good for Merlin to increase his mind power. He needed to collect a completed middle-level or even high-level Mind Meditation Spells. By then, his Mind Meditation Spell would work even if his mind power increased to seventh or eighth, ninth level.
As Merlin had unexpected found Mind Meditation Spells which was different from those of the Glorious Land, he began to search the Glorious Palace’s station to look for other potion, runes, and some other things with high spirits.
He had surprises in each finding, be it in potions or runology, as they were all much more powerful and more complete than those from the Glorious Land. There were even some alchemy, as well as the Puppet Transfiguration Method which had long vanished from the Glorious Land.
All these were greater and more complete than the Glorious Land. This was the real legacy from the most glorious times of spell casters. Perhaps, the most glorious times of spell casters did not end, it merely did not persist in the Glorious Land but managed to live on in the infinite dimensions.
The glorious times of spell casters had always lived on!
Other than these, the biggest reward for Merlin was still the Pandora Demon Ability. The Glorious Palace’s station had publicly displayed many Pandora Demon Abilities. Of course, these were categorized by common demon ability and Fusion Demon Ability with a huge difference in price.
Faced these demon abilities, Merlin felt very unfamiliar. However, one of the Fusion Demon Ability was truly worth its price. Its powers were only second to Merlin’s Fiery Collapse.
When Merlin first arrived in the Glorious Land, he learned some tricks from the ancient books. During the most glorious times of spell casters, almost all the spell casters would basically practice Fusion Demon Abilities in spells. To completely combine demon abilities with spells, even the lowest levels of spell casters could have had disastrous power.
In the Glorious Land of the past, spell casters with no demon abilities was an unimaginable scene. However, in today’s Glorious Land, it was impossible to obtain common demon abilities, what more Fusion Demon Abilities.
Merlin’s Fiery Collapse, Darkness Heart, Flash Wind, Fuse Earth Demon Ability, and more were all obtained through pure luck and coincidence.
Over here, as long as one had sufficient elemental crystal stones, one could openly purchase Fusion Demon Abilities. No wonder this Darknight, a mere Fourth-level spell caster wizard was in possession of Fusion Demon Abilities. The power was immensely great, it was even up to par to those Seventh-level wizards in the Glorious Land!
These were the real spell casters, who could easily possess the power for destruction.
