A Wizard’s Secret

After the black cat Didimoss was taken away by Wizard Setoh, Merlin glanced at the Blackfire Lord. Although he did not know what relationship the Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh had, it was obvious that the Blackfire Lord must have paid a huge price to invite an Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

“Teacher!”

Merlin was just about to speak when the Blackfire Lord held out a hand to stop him. He said calmly, “You don’t have to say anything. You’re my disciple as well as my hope! I still wish that you’ll be able to perfect the Mind Power system in the future. At that time, my disciple will become a powerful existence who opens up a system, haha…”

The Blackfire Lord said this, and laughed loudly. He did not remain there and flew away directly, only leaving behind one warning. “Merlin, the Void Zone is very dangerous. Not even Great Lords dare to say that they can wander around. You’re on your own now! If you encounter something impossible, try to avoid them…”

The voice gradually disappeared, showing that the Blackfire Lord had already left.

Legend Zado patted Merlin’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Merlin, it’s not as dangerous as the Blackfire Lord made it out to be. Haha, with me as well as the Blackfire Lord, you can go wherever you want in the Void Zone! However, there’s some truth in the Blackfire Lord’s words. I have to leave and start preparing to form an Earth Maxim, and become an Honored Legend with an Earth Maxim as the foundation!”

It seemed that Legend Zado was also stimulated. Back when he was cornered by Legend Arnie, it made him feel that even if he was a Great Legend with five Maxims, there was still a gap compared to an Honored Legend.

Legend Zado was undoubtedly a true genius. Legends that could form five Maxims were few and far in between in the entire Spell Caster civilization. They were also regarded as Legends who were most likely to become Great Lords.

Thus, now that Legend Zado had made up his mind, it might be a long time before he appeared again.

“Legend Zado, thank you very much for this time. I even caused you to use up a Maxim to form a maxim avatar.”

Merlin also knew that for a Great Legend, forming a maxim avatar required decades or even centuries of recovery. The price was extremely high.

“Haha, what’s the big deal about a maxim avatar? I have five Maxims, so just one maxim avatar doesn’t affect me. However, this incident has also taught me several lessons. There are indeed some dangers in the Void Zone, so just take this maxim avatar along with you although it can’t help much in a battle. The sixth form of your Darkness Eye is no worse than this maxim avatar. Therefore, its real function is to help you to contact me quickly. In the future, if you’ve encountered any difficulties that can’t be solved, I’ll know immediately through this maxim avatar.”

Merlin knew that this maxim avatar was a precious gift. In the vast Void Zone, having Legend Zado’s maxim avatar would indeed make him much safer. In case he encountered any danger, he could inform Legend Zado through this maxim avatar.

“Alright, I’ll leave now. I hope the next time we meet, you’ve become a Great Wizard, haha!”

Legend Zado was very outspoken, completely unlike the Blackfire Lord. Merlin was also quite favorable toward Legend Zado. When he was swallowed into the Slothful Beast’s belly, no matter if it was the Blackfire Lord or Legend Zado, they both had paid hefty prices.

“Wizard Merlin, where do we go now?”

Wizard Luce only spoke after the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado had left.

Merlin turned around and felt some lingering fear after looking at the colossal Slothful Beast, and said, “We should get out of here as soon as possible and go to the Shkedu Dimension.”

Thus, the two Wizards sat on the casting tool and flew toward the Shkedu Dimension.

…

“Phew…”

Finally, they had reached the Shkedu Dimension. The dimension had suffered a catastrophe. Although it had been several decades since, it still had not recovered.

However, as a prosperous trading dimension, the Shkedu Dimension was still very busy. The damage should be able to be completely recovered within a hundred years.

“Wizard Merlin, do you have any plans?”

Wizard Luce asked hesitatingly.

“Wizard Luce, we can be considered to have experienced life and death. After such an adventure, I think I should take my leave! I won’t stay at the Shkedu Dimension for long. I’ll probably leave soon.”

Merlin had a plan from the start to find the Saitu Dimension. He had the coordinates to the Saitu Dimension, so if it was a masterless dimension, Merlin could seize the opportunity to control a dimension.

If he brought Wizard Luce along, although they had a close relationship, it would be very difficult to make a decision if benefits were involved. Therefore, it would be better to just go their separate ways in the Shkedu Dimension.

Wizard Luce also nodded. “After such an adventure, I’ve also gained a lot, so I plan to just settle down in the Shkedu Dimension, and start fusing Spell Models to become a Great Wizard! Wizard Merlin, come look for me when you come back to the Shkedu Dimension. We’ll go on another adventure again!”

“I will, at that time, you’ll be a powerful Great Wizard!”

The two Wizards laughed, and chatted for a long while before finally saying goodbye, and separating in the Shkedu Dimension, flying in different directions.

…

“Honorable Wizard, the Pavilion of Rarities…”

Before finishing her words, the beautiful female Wizard raised her head to look at the young Wizard’s countenance and froze.

However, she quickly reacted, and hurriedly said, “Honorable Wizard Merlin, please wait a moment. I’ll ask the Deputy Pavilion Master to receive you!”

The beautiful female Wizard obviously recognized Merlin. The cause of the large battle which shook the entire Shkedu Dimension was Merlin!

Legend Zado and the Great Blackfire Lord were both Merlin’s teachers. How would the Pavilion of Rarities dare to neglect a Wizard with such an identity? Thus, when Merlin appeared, the Pavilion of Rarities could only get their Deputy Pavilion Master to welcome him.

“Haha, Wizard Merlin, welcome to the Pavilion of Rarities.”

Before long, the Deputy Pavilion Master, the Great Wizard Leto, came to Merlin with a smile.

“Wizard Leto, we meet again!”

Merlin also smiled. Back then, it was Great Wizard Leto who had sent someone to Arcane City to inform Legend Zado. It was a great help to Merlin.

“Wizard Merlin, what treasures are you looking for this time in the Pavilion of Rarities?”

The Great Wizard Leto was naturally very cordial toward Merlin.

“It’s simple. I want the Dispelling Water!”

“The Dispelling Water? Does Wizard Merlin wish to re-cultivate a Pandora Demon Ability? How many do you want?”

“Of course, I want six portions of Dispelling Water. Besides that, you should also have some top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities here, right? After using the Dispelling Water, I naturally need to cultivate Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. You can prepare all these.”

Great Wizard Leto’s eyes brightened after Merlin finished speaking. His heart was also excited. Six portions of Dispelling Water plus another six top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and some rare items for cultivating Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities.

When everything was prepared, it would be an unimaginably large deal. It might be the biggest business transaction since the founding of the Pavilion of Rarities!

“Wizard Merlin, let’s go inside to talk about the details. These things aren’t that easy to prepare.”

Merlin also knew that this involved too much. Thus, he nodded his head, and followed Great Wizard Leto into a quiet room.

After the two had sat down, only the Great Wizard Leto and Merlin were left in the room. Great Wizard Leto smiled slightly before hesitating and carefully saying, “Wizard Merlin, six portions of Dispelling Water plus six Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and the rare items isn’t a small sum!”

Seeing Wizard Leto’s tentative inquiry, Merlin also knew what he meant, so he calmly nodded and said, “Say it, how many elemental crystal stones are needed? Teacher Blackfire told me before that the Pavilion of Rarities is trustworthy!”

The Great Wizard Leto also knew that Merlin brought up the Blackfire Lord to make himself appear bigger. How would a Great Lord know about an insignificant Pavilion of Rarities? However, the Great Wizard Leto also knew that Merlin was trying to suppress others using force, so this offer could not be too outrageous.

After thinking for a moment, the Great Wizard Leto gritted his teeth and finally said, “Six portions of Dispelling Water originally cost ten million elemental crystal stones each but for Wizard Merlin, we’ll make it seven point five million elemental crystal stones each. The total is forty-five million elemental crystal stones!”

Merlin did not react. He knew that the Pavilion of Rarities usually only gave a discount of up to two million elemental crystal stones, but now it was increased by another 500 thousand elemental crystal stones, which should be the limit. Thus, he nodded and motioned for the Great Wizard Leto to continue.

The Great Wizard Leto softly sighed in relief. Doing business with Wizards with strong backgrounds was not easy, and required a lot of pressure. Therefore, he also continued. “As for the six top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities along with their rare items, the Pavilion of Rarities will offer a low price of fifteen million elemental crystal stones!”

Seeing the Great Wizard Leto gritted his teeth like that, Merlin knew that he must have made a great concession because he did not dare to offend the Great Lord behind Merlin.

Forty-five million elemental crystal stones plus fifteen million elemental crystal stones for a total of at least sixty million elemental crystal stones. This was a large number, and it would be difficult even for general Legends to be able to fork out.

Last time, Merlin dug out around ten million elemental crystal stones at the Satsuma Dimension. It was a lot less than sixty million elemental crystal stones.

“Great Wizard Leto, the price of sixty million elemental crystal stones is very reasonable, and I’m also very satisfied. However, I don’t have that many elemental crystal stones!”

“Uh… Not enough elemental crystal stones?”

The Great Wizard Leto’s expression changed slightly and his mouth could not help but start twitching. Then, he said in a trembling voice, “Wizard Merlin, it’s okay. Just… Just take these as a gift from the Pavilion of Rarities to Wizard Merlin and the Blackfire Lord!”

Wizard Leto obviously saw Merlin as a Wizard who wanted to obtain the Dispelling Water by force, but he did not dare to deny him either. Perhaps an Honored Legend would still be slightly fearful toward the Pavilion of Rarities. After all, it was a huge force in the Shkedu Dimension, and faced the nine Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension.

However, this was a Great Lord! Never mind just taking some items, even if he was to forcefully destroy the Pavilion of Rarities, the nine Honored Legends would absolutely not dare to stick out for the Pavilion of Rarities.

However, even if it was the Pavilion of Rarities, sixty million elemental crystal stones worth of treasures was a big blow…

Merlin smiled. Although he wanted these things very much, he would not use those kinds of methods to obtain them. Thus, he said slowly, “Great Wizard Leto, I think you’re mistaken. I don’t have elemental crystal stones but I can exchange some casting tools for them!”

“Casting tools?”

Although the Great Wizard Leto was surprised, he did not refuse. What could one or two casting tools do? It was just for the sake of “looking good” in this exploitative deal.

Merlin naturally saw the Great Wizard Letos’ insincerity but did not explain himself either. Instead, he took a pile of casting tools from his Spatial Ring, and dumped them on the ground.

“Great Wizard Leto, what do you think of these casting tools?”

The Great Wizard Leto’s eyes widened as he stared dumbfounded at the pile of casting tools on the ground. His expression was also stunned.

“One, two, five, ten… Thirty-two!”

The Great Wizard Leto seemed slightly numb. Perhaps even if he gathered all the casting tools in the Pavilion of Rarities, there would not be as many casting tools. He could see that each of these casting tools was painstakingly made, and was meticulously refined by Legendary Great Alchemists.

“Is it enough? If it isn’t, then there’s more!”

Merlin pointed at the thirty-two casting tools on the ground, and said indifferently.
