“Wizard Laurinka.”

Merlin approached the familiar figure and called out softly.

“Oh? Wizard Merlin, are you here to accept the mission as well?”

As she turned around and saw that it was Merlin, Laurinka expressed a hint of astonishment. After all, in her view, Merlin had only been in the Dark Magic Region for half a year. He would not be rushing to accept any mission.

Merlin nodded and said rather helplessly, “Yeah. I don’t have enough contribution points. I’m preparing to create my First-level spell but some First-level spells in the Resource Tower require too many contribution points. So, I can only come here to check out the mission.”

After a slight pause, Merlin stared at Laurinka closely and found her having a deep frown. A depressive mood seemed to hover over her, so Merlin asked in a low voice, “Wizard Laurinka, have you made the determination to create a First-level spell?”

Merlin knew that Laurinka had been in the Dark Magic Region for almost three years. If she could not create a First-level spell, she would be expelled from the Dark Magic Region. That was the reason he asked the question.

Laurinka nodded. With a serious face, she said in a low voice, “In less than a month, I’ve been in the Dark Magic Region for three years. If I have not become a First-level spell Caster by then, I’ll be expelled from the Dark Magic Region. No matter what, I’m trying it this time. However, I don’t have enough contribution points currently, so I can only accept the mission here.”

Merlin sighed in his heart. For many normal Spell Casters, creating a Spell Model was exceptionally difficult. Since her three-year limit in the Dark Magic Region was approaching fast, Laurinka had no choice but to try it out.

“Right. Have you chosen your mission?” Merlin asked her softly.

Laurinka shook her head slightly. “Some of the missions here are too difficult like searching for Heart Corroding Grass in Storm Valley and others. The contribution points are in total three hundred points. However, even the First-level or Second-level spellCaster may not come out of there alive. Although some are rather easy, the contribution points are too little… So, I haven’t chosen any decent mission.”

Merlin did not know a lot about these missions. Merlin had not heard about the Storm Valley Laurinka talked about, so he had to be very cautious when he accepted mission in the Mission Hall. He would be in danger if he was not careful.

In the Dark Magic Region, the Spell Casters who had died in mission had already reached a number that could not be accurately known.

Seemingly understood Merlin’s careful consideration, Laurinka chuckled. “Since you need to exchange for a First-level spell as well, we can do a mission together. In that way, we can take care of each other as well.”

Although Laurinka mentioned working together, Merlin could see that Laurinka was saying it out of kindness and tried to help him. After all, he had only been in the Dark Magic Region for half a year. On top of that, before he came to the Dark Magic Region, he was simply a roaming Wizard and Laurinka naturally classified Merlin as the “weak” group.

Merlin nodded in gratitude. When he was about to say something, a blinding light slowly shone from the rune mirrors around the hall.

“Swoosh.”

In the rune mirrors, a new mission was added. It was announced by the Dark Magic Region.

“In Donglin City, the Kingdom of Blackmoon, some Dark Vampire Bats are found. We hereby order a team of only four to investigate the situation. Both temporary members and official members can join this mission. Fifty contribution points for each person and a First-level spell ‘Furious Flame’ will be rewarded.”

As soon as this mission was published, it instantaneously caused a commotion in the hall. Fifty contribution points did not account much. The First-level spell Casters would not be interested in these points.

However, to those Entrance-level Spell Casters, this was a great temptation. Other than fifty contribution points, there was still the First-level spell “Furious Flame” in the reward after all. If this spell was exchanged in the Resource Tower, it would at least required thirty contribution points.

Merlin was a little moved to accept this mission, so he looked at Laurinka.

However, Laurinka wore a deep frown. She seemed a little hesitant.

“What’s wrong? Is this mission very difficult? It’s only investigating the situation,” Merlin asked, a little confused.

Laurinka shot a glance at Merlin and said, “Dark Vampire Bats don’t account to much since they’re only some Darkness-type Elemental Monsters. Normal Spell Casters can deal with them. However, these Dark Vampire Bats are gregarious creatures. They appear in flocks of millions. If we’re to check out the situation, we must look far into the source of Dark Vampire Bats. At that time, we may be involved in a dangerous situation.”

Laurinka was very serious in her words. Merlin also realized that this mission was not as simple as it seemed. No wonder the crowd who was all worked up in the hall earlier had slowly calmed down. They must have thought that this mission was still too dangerous after careful consideration.

After thinking through it carefully, Merlin took one more glance at the mission. No matter what, he was greatly tempted by the fifty contribution points and First-level spell Furious Flame.

Thus, Merlin said in a low voice, “Wizard Laurinka, this mission may be dangerous but it is very rewarding, especially First-level spell Furious Flame. Both of us can use this spell. So, I still think we should accept this mission!”

Laurinka gave a little thought, then flashed a smile. She replied, “Alright. Although it’s slightly dangerous, the contribution points and First-level spell are worthy for us to take the risk. Good, let’s accept the mission then.”

Thus, both came to the gray-robed Wizard at the front of the Mission Hall. Laurinka said to one of the gray-robed Wizard, “We’ve come to accept the mission to Donglin City.”

The gray-robed Wizard raised his head and took a glance at Laurinka and Merlin. Then, he spoke emotionlessly, “Hand me your Dark Magic ring.”

Merlin and Laurinka handed their Dark Magic rings to the gray-robed Wizard.

The Wizard used a casting tool to record something on the rings. After that, the Dark Magic Ring gradually shone a faint red light.

“Alright. You’ve accepted the mission. From now on, your every move will be recorded by the Runic Magic Circle on the Dark Magic rings. After you’ve completed your mission, it will serve as your proof. Now, you can wait in the hall. As soon as two more people accept this mission and form a team of four, you can depart for your mission.”

The gray-robed Wizard handed the Dark Magic rings back to Merlin and Laurinka.

Merlin’s expression changed slightly and looked at the Dark Magic ring more closely. He found some mysterious runes on it. It should be the Runic Magic Circle the gray-robed Wizard had carved on the ring. It could record every single move Merlin had made.

The wonder of runes was incredible!

On the other hand, Laurinka remained calm where it seemed that she had known about this long ago. Thus, after receiving the Dark Magic ring, Laurinka said to Merlin monotonously, “Let’s go. We’ll wait here for a while. This mission is quite rewarding. There should be someone accepting this mission soon.”

This mission required four Spell Casters to form a team and complete the mission. Thus, Merlin and Laurinka simply stayed in the hall, waiting silently.
