Chapter 547: Leaving

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning, Merlin quickly held out his hand. Darkness Eye in his palm was still emitting traces of crimson light, appearing very peculiar.

However, Merlin could clearly feel that the “backlash” of Darkness Eye from before had disappeared. Darkness Eye had indeed absorbed the negative energy and became stronger. However, there was no backlash whatsoever from the negative emotions. This was all thanks to the Legend of Darkness, Oflas.

Perhaps the conspiracy of Darkness Eye was no longer a secret among some powerful Legends. Back then, when he was cut off from the world in the Glorious Land, he had even thought that the Legend of Darkness, Oflas, was dead. Who would have known that Darkness Eye was hiding such an astonishing secret?

“Fortunately, I met my teacher. Otherwise, I would be digging my own grave if I continued to cultivate Darkness Eye!”

Merlin felt slightly scared thinking about it now.

“The Legend of Darkness, Oflas... One day, I’ll definitely repay you with thanks twice over for today!”

A trace of coldness flashed across Merlin’s eyes. Although he did not meet the Legend of Darkness, Oflas, Darkness Eye had put him in such danger that Merlin was naturally not comfortable.

“Darkness Eye is now comparable to some peak Great Wizards. Maybe there’s still a gap from those top Great Wizards but it shouldn’t be that huge!”

Merlin felt the power in Darkness Eye. Although he hated Oflas very much in his heart, he had to admire him for creating such a powerful special Pandora Demon Ability. It could even make a Great Wizard burst with an ordinary Legend’s power.

This time, after returning from the Mind Tower, although his Mind Power had not significantly improved, his Mind Heart had already reached the Eight-level. His Mind Power was comparable to some of the more powerful Ninth-level Spell Casters.

Under such a circumstance, Merlin’s attempt to construct all Seventh-level spells was not that difficult. However, he still had to start constructing to know whether it could be done.

Of course, Merlin had made up his mind never to construct spells in Arcane City. After all, he had just become a Sixth-level Spell Caster. If he became a Seventh-level Spell Caster in such a short amount of time, it would arouse suspicion even in Arcane City with his numerous talents.

Even if there was just the slightest chance of arousing suspicion, Merlin would not risk it. The secret of the Matrix could only be known by him. Therefore, he planned to leave Arcane City and construct Seventh-level spells in a safe place.

As for the specific place to go, Merlin already had an idea. When he was in the Kingdom of Blackmoon, he had obtained two dimension coordinates. One was for Wizard Saitu where he had obtained the Thunder Maxim. There was a specific dimension coordinate in it but Wizard Saitu might still be inside, so it was not absolutely safe.

The remaining one was naturally Ecuador’s dimension. In the mysterious castle in Subzero Snowfield, when Merlin had controlled the puppet in the castle, it also mentioned a specific dimension coordinate.

Furthermore, this Wizard Ecuador had most likely fallen, and this dimension was most likely an unowned dimension. As for what exactly had happened, Merlin had to go and find out for himself. After all, it had been such a long time, so anything could happen.

However, before leaving, Merlin still had to wait for Legend Zado’s message as well as the release of the black cat Didimoss into the vast Void Zone. With the black cat Didimoss’ accompaniment, safety would naturally be greatly increased.

...

For a month, Merlin had a rare period of quietness. He studied Mind Power every day, and had transformed various things. He even took the initiative to immerse himself in the illusion which he had “weaved”.

His illusion was far inferior to the Blackfire King’s and did not even seem real. However, Merlin was not discouraged. The path of a Mind Power Master was inevitably tough. Now, he was just like a pioneer, and needed to explore the path slowly and bit by bit.

“Merlin, come to my castle!”

Suddenly, the rune on Merlin’s arm twinkled with threads of light, and transmitted Legend Zado’s voice.

Merlin’s heart rejoiced. He quickly stood up, and went directly to Legend Zado’s castle.

“You came quickly.”

Seeing Merlin, Legend Zado laughed, and stroked the black cat Didimoss. There seemed to be a trace of sadness but he finally let go of Didimoss.

“Whoosh.”

Didimoss jumped onto Merlin’s shoulder, and as Merlin took a closer look, Didimoss seemed to have gained some weight. In such a short period of time, Legend Zado had let the black cat Didimoss to eat well for it to have gained weight. Now, the black cat Didimoss had become a “fat cat” not just in name but in reality too.

“Teacher Zado, I want to leave Arcane City and wander into the Void Zone.”

Merlin hesitated for a moment before speaking. Now that Legend Zado was his teacher, he naturally had to explain to Legend Zado why he wanted to leave Arcane City.

“To wander?”

Legend Zado was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Merlin for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully. “So, you’ve already begun constructing Seventh-level spells. Seventh-level is indeed a threshold hence you can’t be careless. You may be able to derive the spells faster if you go out and wander.”

Legend Zado’s hand grabbed the air, and a ball of multicolored light appeared in his hands. The ball fluctuated between colors constantly, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

“This is the imprint from condensing my five-elemental Maxim. I’ll put it in your arm now. You can release it if you’ve encountered any danger. Even if it’s Legends with two or three Maxims, it’ll be able to repel them. However, the time will be very short. You’ll have to grasp the opportunity and escape. Generally, the moment my Maxim imprint appears, the other party would know it’s me. I believe my name still has some effect in the entire Spell Caster civilization...”

After Legend Zado had said that, he hit the multicolored light on Merlin’s arm. It looked like a faintly colored birthmark.

Merlin sensed that as long as he willed it, he would be able to unleash this imprint. This was a method that Legend Zado had given Merlin to save him, and also directly showed that Legend Zado attached great importance to his disciple.

“Thank you, Teacher Zado!”

There was a ripple in Merlin’s heart. Although Legend Zado was very extreme in his actions, once someone became his disciple, he would be very protective of his disciple.

“Hmm, Merlin, when you go, as my disciple, as long as you don’t encounter any Honored Legends, you won’t have to worry about anything. I’ll bear the brunt of any serious trouble. All you have to do is remember not to disgrace me, understand?”

“Em, I understand!”

Merlin looked at the dignified and high-spirited Legend Zado and felt slightly speechless. Was this not urging his disciple to look for trouble? However, this feeling was indeed quite comfortable...

“However, if you meet an Honored Legend, that’ll be quite troublesome. Don’t provoke any Honored Legends for now.”

Although he “encouraged” Merlin to get into trouble, Legend Zado still knew what he could and could not handle.

Merlin was quite speechless. How would it be that easy to meet an Honored Legend? Even after entering the Void Zone for so long, and arriving at Arcane City, it was only due to coincidence that he had met the Honored Legend, the Blackfire King in the Mind Tower.

Due to occupying hundreds or thousands of dimensions, the entire Spell Caster civilization had many Legendary Wizards. However, Honored Legends were still rare. Even hundreds of dimensions could not give birth to an Honored Legend.

“Teacher, I’ll be cautious!”

“Hm, then go and quickly become a Seventh-level Wizard!”

Legend Zado waved Merlin away, and Merlin also respectfully bowed before leaving the castle.

Then, Merlin communicated with the Blackfire King’s imprint.

“Teacher, I’m preparing to leave Arcane City to wander into the Void Zone.”

“The Void Zone? Come back to the Mind Tower first.”

Hence, Merlin went to the Mind Tower. Now that he had the Blackfire King’s invitation, he did not need to spend Adventure points, and went directly to the sixteenth floor.

“You want to wander?”

The Blackfire King raised his head and asked calmly.

“Yes, Teacher. No one has walked the path of a Mind Power Master. If I want to perfect it, I can’t just stay in one place. Only by wandering around can I perhaps get the opportunity to perfect the Mind Power Master’s system! Besides, I’m still a Spell Caster, and I need to construct spells...”

The Blackfire King interrupted Merlin before he could finish. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t have anything to give you but I believe that Legend Zado has already given you something to save yourself with. Some Honored Legends will also give Legend Zado some face. Furthermore, you’re also a Potential Wizard of Arcane City. With these two identities as well as that item that Legend Zado had given you, ordinary Spell Casters won’t attack you with the intention of bullying the weak, so I can be relieved. However, if you encounter danger and Legend Zado doesn’t do anything, you can reveal that you’re my disciple! Otherwise, you aren’t allowed to tell anyone that you’re my disciple, understand?”

Merlin’s heart trembled. It seemed that the Blackfire King was very low profile, and was the polar opposite from Legend Zado. Legend Zado wanted everyone to know that Merlin was his disciple while the Blackfire King did not want anyone to know that Merlin was his disciple.

“I understand!”

“Alright, go. I hope the next you return to Arcane City, I’ll be able to see your improvement!”

Merlin knew that the “improvement” the Blackfire King wanted to see was an improvement in the Mind Power system. Merlin could only nod, and then he was sent out of the Mind Tower after being wrapped with white light.
