Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Wizard Merlin, is that you?”

Elena looked at the familiar figure and smiled with glee.

Elena walked right up to Merlin to get a closer look and let out a deep sigh. “Wizard Merlin, you’re really impressive. You arrived in the Dark Magic Region as a Six-Elemental Spell Caster and really shocked us. Now, you’ve become a famous apothecary in Floating City.”

Although it was known by the public that Wizard Vladi had prepared the potions, it was no absolute secret that Merlin had, in fact, prepared them. Furthermore, Wizard Vladi knew many Spell Casters in Floating City and surely had told them the truth.

Perhaps Wizard Vladi had inadvertently revealed this to one or two people, but soon, the Alkaline Earth Potion prepared by the mysterious ‘Wizard Merlin’, took Floating City by storm.

Elena had heard this rumor and decided to investigate this herself. Was this the same ‘Wizard Merlin’ she knew from the Dark Magic Region?

Merlin could not help but laugh and did not give an explanation. He knew Elena’s clan was here in Floating City, but since he arrived, he had been too busy preparing potions and completely forgot about looking for Elena in the Delman clan.

“Yes, Wizard Elena, do you come with news from the Dark Magic Region? How is it there?”

Merlin had left for a few months now but he tried to keep up with news from the Dark Magic Region. However, he only interacted with a few roaming Wizards, how could he have known what went on in the Dark Magic Region?

Now that he had bumped into Elena, who was from a Spell Caster clan, perhaps she came with some news.

“The Dark Magic Region?”

Elena felt a little hesitant as she looked over at the black-robed old man and Wizard Burton.

Merlin understood, and he invited Elena and Simi into his room.

In the room, the young Wizard Simi watched Merlin with intrigue, unsure what to think of him. Merlin took a quick look at her but did not think much of it. He asked Elena, “Wizard Elena, do you not have news from the Dark Magic Region?”

Elena shifted slightly and whispered, “I do have news. The Dark Magic Region has joined forces with Fire City, Abyss Fort, Ashes Region, and other large spell casters’ organizations with their individual regions to fiercely block the people of Ozmu.”

“I heard the battle was terrifying. The Dark Magic Region and other spell casters’ organizations were determined to cut off any spell casters’ organizations that Ozmu had gotten hold of. Ozmu may be strong but they had made too many enemies and couldn’t waste their strength. Hence, under these circumstances, Ozmu is still at a disadvantage. We may be able to return to the Dark Magic Region soon.”

Merlin nodded. Wizard Leo had mentioned that they could return within a year’s time. It seemed like this would be true.

News as secretive as this could be reached by Wizards of powerful clans such as the Delman clan. Common roaming Wizards would not have heard this news let alone a few spell casters’ organizations. It was best not to spread that one knew this secret.

Upon hearing that the Dark Magic Region was still safe, Merlin let out a deep breath and felt relieved. He had finally constructed five spells, and although his Mind Power was increasing slowly, he had a High-level Mind Meditation Spell and a few Mind Power potions. He would be able to reach the Mind Power of a Third-level Spell Caster in less than half a year.

When the time comes, he would construct the final First-level spell, Dark Light Realm without difficulty. He could already foresee becoming a First-level Spell Caster as long as the Dark Magic Region was safe and sound. He could finally become an official member of the Dark Magic Region and could use the wide range of resources available there.

“You’re Wizard Merlin? Sister Elena says you’re really amazing! Is it true that you’re a Six-Elemental Spell Caster?”

Suddenly, the wide-eyed female Wizard asked Merlin as she gazed at him with intrigue.

“Simi!”

Elena furrowed her eyebrows as she shouted, “Wizard Merlin, my apologies, this is my little sister, Simi. She’s just being funny!”

Merlin looked at Simi, who reminded him of Lord Selin’s daughter, Shelly from Prakash City. She would always ask Merlin how strong he was or whether he could beat her brother, Cook.

Merlin smiled humbly and said, “It isn’t that impressive.”

After a moment, Merlin finally asked, “Well, Wizard Elena, what brings you here today?”

Elena heard Merlin’s question and hesitated for a moment.

Simi, the female Wizard who stood on the side replied, “Wizard Merlin, Sister Elena made a special trip to invite you to the Delman clan as a guest. Will you accept her invitation?”

“A guest?”

Merlin could not help but smile. He knew Elena surely had something to say, perhaps she did not know how to put it delicately.

Merlin had spent the last few days tirelessly cultivating Glacial Finger. It had already been nine days, and tomorrow he would meet with Wizard Sammir to enter the ancient monument. His Glacial Finger had only changed slightly in color and had not returned to its original form.

It was only his finger that had changed color. It was clear that it was still not enough even though Merlin had spent many days cultivating Glacial Finger. It would take at least a month before he could completely cultivate Glacial Finger.

Elena glared at Simi. She did not think that Simi, who was usually very quiet, would be so quick-witted. However, as long as Merlin accepted their invitation, she could have a discussion with Ken. Elena would consider this trip a success.

Hence, Elena let out a slight grin and said, “Wizard Merlin, please. We’ll leave immediately.”

Merlin nodded and headed out of the house to inform the black-robed old man and Wizard Burton that he would be leaving with Elena to the Delman clan.

...

Elena walked as if she had a lot on her mind but Merlin did not notice it. He walked beside Simi who constantly badgered him with questions, mostly about the Dark Magic Region. He answered her questions simply and in turn found out more about the Delman clan.

The Delman clan was a typical example of a Spell Caster clan. However, not all clan members had the Spell Caster Quality.

Although Simi and Elena were sisters, they did not share the same mother. Their father had over thirty wives, so naturally, he bred an unimaginable number of children.

Hence, with a huge number of children, the Delman clan possessed enough descendants with the Spell Caster Quality.

Merlin thought about his own two children, Conxion and Celia. He wondered whether they would possess the Spell Caster Quality and if so, he would bring them up to be Spell Casters. One day, the Wilson family could also become a Spell Caster clan.

However, after realizing that the Delman clan kept the method of producing enough offspring in order to have enough Spell Casters, Merlin completely dispelled the idea of making the Wilson family a Spell Caster clan.

The medium-sized Delman clan formed today was the result of hundreds of thousands of years of expansion.

With such profound heritage, there were many clan members in the Delman clan, all spread across different spell casters’ organizations. For example, Elena could smoothly join the Dark Magic Region using the tokens the clan had obtained.

The others joined organizations such as Fire City and Abyss Fort. Some were even able to join the prestigious and powerful Sterling House.

This was how the clan was able to build a network and flourished. Of course, this required a lot of resources such as tokens to join the Dark Magic Region. The Delman clan would have spent a lot in order to achieve such greatness.

Hence, clan members who were naturally gifted and possessed the Spell Caster Quality allowed the clan to stand out amongst the rest. With their wide variety of resources, the Delman clan was able to flourish quickly.

Without the Spell Caster Quality, it would be like Laurinka, who was sent away by the Dark Magic Region. When she returned to her clan, she would be refused any resources.

This was how most Spell Caster clans operated. However, there were some clans, ones that were similar to spell casters’ organizations, did not have to depend on such methods to prolong the clan.

There were too few clans that were similar to spell casters’ organizations. It did not matter that the Spell Caster clans had formed an alliance; they would never be compared to spell casters’ organizations. This was because they did not control enough resources and did not possess essential knowledge inheritance.

For example, the more extensive and complete spells, comprehensive potions, mysterious and powerful runology, and more – these were not things that powerful clans could possess just because they were united.

Only spell casters’ organizations were able to possess such extensive knowledge inheritance, which made it the true core of a spell casters’ organization!

“Wizard Merlin, we’re here!”

Suddenly, Elena, who was too focused on hurrying back, stopped in her tracks and pointed at a huge building in ahead. This was the Delman clan!
