Chapter 632: Reward

“Merlin, come in as well.”

The Blackfire Lord’s voice rang beside Merlin’s ear. Merlin raised his head, and saw that they had already arrived at the Arcane Wizard Setoh’s castle. All those who could enter the castle were Great Legends at least.

Due to Merlin’s exceptional performance, his abilities were not inferior to most Great Legends. Naturally, he was qualified to enter the castle.

Merlin nodded, and entered the castle along with many other Great Legends. Nevertheless, his focus was on the specific steps of transfiguring a Mind avatar that Titus had given him, which were now occupying his mind.

To transfigure a Mind avatar, one must have an illusion bead. Transfiguring this illusion bead was not complicated but its materials were difficult to find. Moreover, there had to be at least more than a thousand types of materials, making Merlin feel a sense of hopelessness.

“It requires so many materials, and I’m at the front lines. Where am I supposed to get these?”

Merlin knew that transfiguring a Mind avatar was something he must not put off any longer but he was at the front lines now, and had no way of leaving. He could only wait for the discussion to end before he head to the Alabaster Dimension, and searched carefully for the materials.

In the large hall of the castle, four Great Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and over a hundred Great Legends all gathered under one roof. They assembled in the hall, which was filled with a joyous mood.

In particular, Merlin had also appeared in the hall. His appearance had made many Great Legends looked at him. Up until now, they still found it unbelievable that Merlin had defeated the six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe. Moreover, those prodigies had combined into an even more formidable Progenitor’s Body.

Although it was difficult to believe, they had previously witnessed this miracle with their own eyes, and they did not doubt its veracity.

“O’ Great Wizard Setoh, we owe much to Wizard Merlin this time. Four civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe are dead now, and they’re no longer able to form the Progenitor’s Body. Even in terms of the number of civilization-level prodigies, we’re comfortably ahead of the Rock Tribe. Furthermore, we still have Wizard Merlin. With him, no Rock Creature below a Legend would be able to stand up against us! Therefore, we’re prepared for the Rock Tribe to start a civilization war.”

One of the Honored Legends, who was granted the title “Tempest”, said calmly.

The initially elated mood of the Spell Casters subsided upon hearing this. The civilization war that the Legend Tempest had mentioned, if the Rock Tribe truly had no other way, they might really start a civilization war.

The Arcane Wizard Setoh smiled. “No matter, it’s not as if we’re unprepared. Even if the Rock Tribe wants to start a civilization war, so what? We have four Great Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and more than a hundred Great Legends. Our forces are mighty. Even if there’s a civilization war, we’re not inferior to them. The only worry is that the Ancestor-level existences of the Rock Tribe can form into the Progenitor’s Body. That would be somewhat troublesome, that’s all.”

The Rock Tribe had relied on the Progenitor’s Body to cause the Spell Caster civilization quite a headache. If there were beings who were Ancestor-level, the Progenitor’s Body they formed would have rather terrifying might.

However, there was a limit to the Progenitor’s Body as well. At most, it could reach the level of an Honored Legend. After all, the Progenitor’s Body’s complete strength could only be unleashed by a Progenitor.

“The Progenitor’s Body is actually not that scary. Our Spell Caster civilization which has three-thousand-year heritage, is even more powerful than other foreign civilizations with ten thousand years of heritage. If a civilization war were to erupt, our Great Lords and Honored Legends would outnumber the Rock Tribe. Humph, we have the upper hand!”

“That’s right. This time, the Rock Tribe had schemed to hide four of their civilization-level prodigies, then attack suddenly. They hoped to ‘gain’ an advantage, but luckily, we have Wizard Merlin. Even before a civilization war has started, we’re currently winning.”

These Great Legends knew very well that, in this war between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Casters, Merlin was a key factor. If they did not have Merlin, it would be the Spell Casters who were fretting now.

Now that Merlin had shown up, the Rock Tribe was faced with two difficult options. Besides starting a civilization war, they could only give up on their plan to continue this war with the Spell Caster civilization for now.

“Alright, no matter what the Rock Tribe decides, we mustn’t let down our guard. Even if a civilization war erupts, I firmly believe that victory will be ours!”

After the Arcane Wizard Setoh had spoken, many Great Legends took their leave to make preparations. Just as Merlin was about to leave, he was called out by the Arcane Wizard Setoh.

“Wizard Merlin.”

At the moment, there was only the Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord in the main foyer.

“Wizard Setoh, Teacher Blackfire, what are your orders?”

Merlin looked at Wizard Setoh hesitantly. He was just about to head to the Alabaster Dimension to search for the many precious materials required to transfigure the illusion bead.

“Merlin, you exerted yourself significantly to save us from a crisis, and defeated six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe in one fell swoop, even killing four. You’ve practically turned around the entire situation of the war. With such a tremendous contribution, how can I, as the commander of the frontlines, let this go unrewarded? Speak – what do you want?”

“Reward?”

Merlin was slightly taken aback. He did not think that he would get any reward, but now that he thought about it, he did save the day all by himself. Otherwise, the Arcane Wizard Setoh would have already started a civilization war by now.

“There’s nothing that I really want…”

As soon as the words were out, Merlin stopped himself. After some hesitation, he asked, “If I say that I need them, can Wizard Setoh give me some alchemy materials?”

Merlin had remembered about the illusion bead. According to Titus’ list, transfiguring an illusion bead was not at all complex. Instead, it was quite simple.

However, the tough part was in the materials it needed. There were too many, and it was complicated, for there were more than a thousand types of materials. Even if one had bought them, one might not be able to collect everything. Moreover, they were at the front lines, and Merlin was not certain that he would be able to obtain the necessary materials in the Alabaster Dimension to transfigure the illusion bead.

However, now that Wizard Setoh wanted to reward him, naturally Merlin would make the materials of transfiguring the illusion bead his priority.

“Come, let me see – what alchemy materials?”

Wizard Setoh appeared unruffled, following which Merlin listed out the items, all of which were alchemy materials needed to transfigure an illusion bead. As Merlin was not familiar with alchemy, he did not know which of these materials were considered precious.

Merlin kept his eye on Wizard Setoh’s face. At first, Wizard Setoh wore a calm expression. Then, it turned more and more puzzled. After looking at the list, Wizard Setoh shook his head.

Merlin said helplessly, “Wizard Setoh, there are quite a lot of materials. If you really don’t have them, I’ll find some other way.”

Based on Wizard Setoh’s expression, Merlin did not have much hope.

“Wizard Merlin, I don’t mean that I don’t have the materials. It’s just because the things you’ve listed, despite making up a varied assortment that includes more than a thousand alchemy materials, are mostly very common materials. There are only a few which are relatively precious, but they’re not extraordinarily rare either. I can give you these materials right now.”

Following that, Wizard Setoh promptly retrieved a ring, and tossed it to Merlin.

Merlin was pleased beyond his expectations. After receiving the ring, he looked through it briefly. It was filled to the brim with various alchemy materials. Although he did not examine them carefully, Wizard Setoh would definitely not make any mistakes.

“Thank you very much, Wizard Setoh!”

Merlin felt a burst of glee. With these materials, he could even transfigure the illusion bead right away and thus transfigure his Mind avatar.

“Just these materials? They’re not much of a reward. Merlin, tell me, what else do you want?”

Wizard Setoh asked Merlin again.

Nonetheless, Merlin was in a hurry to head to the Alabaster Dimension to transfigure his Mind avatar. What other rewards would he want? Currently, any casting tool or potion was of no use to him. There was nothing that would attract Merlin.

Seeing that Merlin said nothing, the Blackfire Lord laughed. “Merlin, be rest assured. Of course, Wizard Setoh has something good to give you.”

“Something good?”

Merlin did not know what else could possibly attract him.

Wizard Setoh shook his head somewhat powerlessly. “Merlin, by now, I guess that you won’t be interested in any casting tool, potion, and such things. This time, you’ve turned the situation around, and made an immense contribution. Naturally, I’ll reward you!”

After a pause, Wizard Setoh’s expression turned serious, and he said gruffly, “Merlin, the future is uncertain for every moment is constantly fluctuating. Now, you’ve only just begun to attempt fusing Spell Models. At the moment, you’ve condensed six Wizard Hearts. However, you should already have more than thirty Perfect-grade spells. In the history of the Spell Caster civilization, you have the most Perfect-grade spells. Even the Seven-Elemental Wizard Nelar didn’t have as many Perfect-grade spells as you.”

Merlin nodded. There was no way to fool Wizard Setoh. His spells, from the Fourth-level onward, were derived by the Matrix, so they were all Perfect-grade. In total, he had thirty-six Perfect-grade spells.

“Merlin, the more Perfect-grade spells you have, other than having higher compatibility, most Perfect-grade spells have greater power as well. For you to fuse your Six-Elemental spells, and become a Great Wizard is something rather difficult.”

Merlin lifted his gaze to look at Wizard Setoh. It was true that it would be challenging for him to fuse the spells but he did not know why Wizard Setoh would bring this up.

Wizard Setoh laughed and continued. “This time, you did us a great service. I’ll personally lend you a helping hand! The future is filled with unlimited possibilities. Since that’s the case, I’ll bring you to see these unlimited possibilities of the future!”

“Unlimited possibilities?”

Merlin did not even know what Wizard Setoh was referring to but Wizard Setoh immediately waved a hand, and mysterious energy blanketed Merlin.

“Don’t resist, just relax. Look upon this issue from an observer’s perspective. You’ll see the various possibilities that will arise from your fusion of your Spell Models. Perhaps one of these will be your future.”

Thereafter, Merlin was astonished to feel that the six Spell Hearts in his body seemed to be out of his control. They were beginning to merge gradually…
