A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-307

Emma's and Laurinka's rooms were both in Wizard Leo's tower. Merlin tapped the door gently but there was no response. Nevertheless, Merlin had expected it.

If Emma and Laurinka had returned, they'd have looked for him. Yet, the Matrix said that in the ten days or more of his slumber, no one had come to see him.

"One and a half months, going back and forth to Prakash City… However much the delay is, they should be back by now..."

Merlin frowned. Back then, when he was departing from the Dark Magic Region, he told Emma and Laurinka that they should visit his family in Prakash City if time permitted it. However, they had been gone from the Dark Magic Region for one and a half months by now. This was unusual, especially for Laurinka as she would not let the opportunity to learn in the Dark Magic Region slip by. Even if she ventured outside, it would certainly not be for long.

Therefore, there was a high possibility that they had encountered some sort of trouble. When Merlin thought about this, his emotions became somewhat unsettled.

"I've to hurry back to Prakash City!"

Merlin mumbled, but before returning to Prakash City, he still needed to go to the Resource Tower to exchange some Mokra Potion formulas. According to Wizard Howl, the potion materials for Mokra Potion were actually not very rare and could be exchanged even in the Resource Tower.

Merlin was extremely satisfied with the effect of Mokra Potions. As long as he exchanged for the required potion materials, he could try to prepare them himself in the future.

…

"Wizard Merlin, what do you need?"

In the Resource Tower, a Second-level gray-robed Wizard stood in front of Merlin. After seeing that he was the Dark Magic Region's renowned Six-Elemental Spell Caster, the gray-robed Wizard did not dare to slack as he hurriedly inquired respectfully.

"Take me to see the potion materials."

Merlin smiled gently and responded calmly. He was no longer a newbie Wizard in the Dark Magic Region. With his strength and status, he was no less inferior to Wizard Kleis' reputation in the Dark Magic Region back then.

"Wizard Merlin wishes to brew potions?"

"This is the list!"

Merlin immediately drew out the formula of Mokra Potion. This was just a list. The more important thing for brewing a potion was the proportion. This was made by a powerful apothecary who used a lot of trial data to record and improve it, bit by bit.

Before Master Howl left, he gave Merlin the formula of Mokra Potion, but it also recorded the detailed proportions on it, which was the most precious aspect. Now, Merlin only took out the potion formula, so he was naturally not afraid that people would discover the secret of Mokra Potion.

Seeing the list given by Merlin, the comprehensive list of potion materials on it alone had made the gray-robed Wizard extremely shocked. Those capable of exchanging such a mass of potion materials in the Resource Tower were mostly Fourth-level or higher Spell Casters.

"Wizard Merlin, these potion materials are really too much. Please, Master Merlin, come and carefully choose them with us."

Merlin nodded and followed the gray-robed Wizard to the second floor of the Resource Tower. There were some casting tools, potion materials, and many more things laid out. There was a myriad of stuff, and it looked like there was quite a variety too.

The large number and wide variety of things did not come as a surprise as this was a spell casters' organization with a long history which was passed down for thousands of years. The Dark Magic Region's heritage was very rich, and most of the potion materials could be found in the Resource Tower.

As for spending of contribution points, it was subject to personal opinion. Some precious materials could not be bought even from the outside, so spending however much contribution points would still be worth it. Not to mention, Merlin's current contribution points were still left with more than several thousand points. If more time had passed, and it had been another year, Merlin would then earn another 10,000 contribution points from the Dark Magic Region.

Therefore, Merlin could exchange potion materials or some powerful spells in the Resource Tower without worrying about contribution points. This was also the devotion of the Dark Magic Region in training a Spell Caster!

"Wizard Merlin, we have all the potion materials on the list in the Resource Tower. How much do you want?"

"You have them all? Very well, how much are there in the inventory of the Resource Tower? How much potion materials can I exchange with all my remaining contribution points?"

Merlin asked two questions in one shot, but the information revealed made this gray-robed Wizard feel very excited instead. They knew very well that Merlin was a highly prioritized subject for training in the Dark Magic Region, just like Kleis back then, who was also given a huge amount of contribution points yearly.

In the entire Dark Magic Region, the number of Spell Casters who could have such treatment did not exceed the number of fingers on one hand, which showed how much the Dark Magic Region valued Merlin.

"Wizard Merlin, there are a lot of stocks for these potion materials in the Resource Tower. If you exchange them all with your remaining thousands of contribution points, you can exchange up to a hundred sets of those potion materials!"

"A hundred sets of potion materials? That'll suffice!"

Merlin nodded secretly. Deep down, he was very happy. With so many potion materials, he could settle down in a safe place in the future, and concentrate on brewing Mokra potions. Using the precise control of the Matrix, his brew would definitely not be worse than Master Howl's.

At that time, his Mind Power would possibly grow wildly under the accumulation of a large number of Mokra Potions. This was a way to quickly increase one's strength, even spending all the contribution points now would still make it worthwhile.

"Then exchange for me a hundred sets of the potion materials!"

Merlin replied affirmatively.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

The gray-robed Wizard left with a smile. Thus, the entire Resource Tower seemed to have become very busy as countless potion materials were being sorted out.

About half an hour later, the gray-robed Wizard came back to Merlin and said respectfully, "Wizard Merlin, the potion materials are ready. The contribution points in your Dark Magic ring are now left with only less than one hundred points!"

As soon as he finished, Merlin took back the Dark Magic ring, and he had indeed noticed that the thousands of contributions points on it was now only left with less than one hundred points. However, when he thought of the hundred copies of potion materials that were exchanged, spending those contribution points was really not a big deal.

"Okay, give me the potion materials."

Merlin stored the Mokra Potion materials into the ring, then stood up and left the Resource Tower, leaving behind envious expressions on the faces of the gray-robed Wizards in the Resource Tower.

…

As he left the Resource Tower, Merlin's heart could not help but stir up. Apart from him, no one else could realize what so many Mokra Potions truly meant for Merlin.

Once he had successfully brewed these Mokra Potions and consumed them, even Merlin did not know for sure, till what kind of horrific level would his Mind Power reach?

Normally, those Spell Casters would spend decades meditating in order to accumulate Mind Power, yet they would not be able to match the Mind Power that Merlin enhanced using so many Mokra Potions.

As long as the Mind Power was strong enough, Merlin could even try to construct a Third-level spell right away...

"Unfortunately, there's no more contribution point left. The 10,000 contribution points given by the Dark Magic Region are gone. Though, I'll only need to wait a few more months before getting another 10,000 contribution points. At that time, maybe my Mind Power would already be strong enough, and I can exchange Third-level spells along with it!"

Although Merlin had just become a Second-level Spell Caster, he had enough resources provided by the Dark Magic Region. In addition to the Matrix, as long as he had enough Mind Power, he would then be able to construct more, stronger Spell Models.

However, the Dark Magic Region only promised to give Merlin 10,000 contribution points every year. Originally, he thought about going to select a Third-level spell too at the Resource Tower. However, it seemed that his contribution points were clearly insufficient. He could only wait a few more months until the Dark Magic Region deposited the second batch of 10,000 contribution points into his Dark Magic ring, then he'd be able to exchange for Third-level spells.

…

"Teacher Leo, Emma and Laurinka haven't come back yet, so I'm thinking of going back to have a look."

Before Merlin left, he still notified Wizard Leo about it.

Wizard Leo nodded. "Go ahead, Ozmu hasn't been active now anyway. As long as you don't leave the territory of the Dark Magic Region, you won't be in any danger."

It seemed that Wizard Leo was also paying attention to the activity of Ozmu.

Later, Merlin bid farewell to the Wizard Leo and came to the front of the many Runic Magic Circles of the Dark Magic Region.

"Whoosh!"

A white ray of light flashed past. Merlin had just returned to the Dark Magic Region for about half a month, now he had left again.

…

"Hmm? Master's back?"

In the small town, Wizard Bammou, who was accumulating Magic Power tirelessly at all times, lifted his head abruptly. He looked outside the house, and he had already sensed Merlin.

After signing the slave contract, there was a very special connection between Bammou and Merlin. Unless the distance was too far away, otherwise it could be sensed. This was also the uniqueness of a slave contract.

"Wizard Bammou!"

Sure enough, when Master Bammou had just opened his eyes, a young man in a black robe walked straight from outside the door, staring calmly at Wizard Bammou in the room.

Wizard Bammou hastily stood up in a respectful manner, and whispered, "Master, you've just returned to the Dark Magic Region. I didn't expect you to come out so soon."

Wizard Bammou knew that Merlin had returned to the Dark Magic Region. He thought that Merlin would stay in the Dark Magic Region for a year and a half before he would come out again. He could also take advantage of this time and slowly recover the almost exhausted Magic Power in the Spell Model in his Awareness at the small town.

Unexpectedly, Merlin actually came back so quickly, which made Wizard Bammou feel somewhat helpless deep down in his heart. As Merlin's slave now, he had lost even the time to restore the Mind Power in his Spell Model.

Merlin was, however, able to know some of Bammou's thoughts through the slave contract, so it was indeed quite difficult for Wizard Bammou to arrange any plans. After all, Merlin was not a Fourth-level Spell Caster yet, so he could only have one servant, and he could not possibly bring Wizard Bammou into the Dark Magic Region.

After returning to the Dark Magic Region this time, he thought of Prakash City, so that had changed some of Merlin's initial plans.

"I've encountered something this time, so I have to go and settle it. However, this time I'll take you to a place. If it's suitable, you'll stay there in the future, and you can replenish your Magic Power in peace."

Wizard Bammou was delighted and quickly asked, "Where is it?"

"Prakash City!"

Within Merlin's tone, there was a revelation of slight complexity.
