“Howl? That poor fellow… Merlin, earlier on the first floor, Howl wanted you to kill Kleis for him, didn’t he?”

Wizard Leo looked as though he was smiling.

“Teacher, how did you know?”

“Merlin, it seems that you’re still unclear with how Wizard Towers in the Dark Magic Region work! Every tower is the greatest treasure for a Spell Caster. Spell Casters possess absolute control over their towers. When you live in the Wizard Tower, it isn’t very concealed. Wizard Howl has been here for so many years, how can it be that I wouldn’t know certain things about him?”

Hearing Wizard Leo’s explanation caused a chill to run through Merlin. Now that he thought about it carefully, that was indeed the case. Every Wizard Tower in the Dark Magic Region was built by Spell Casters who were Fourth-level and above. Some had even spent dozens of years of building, spending even more time and effort than refining a piece of gold item.

Therefore, the Wizard Towers that had been built would naturally be in the complete control of the Spell Caster.

Merlin had many secrets. Now that he knew how “dangerous” the Wizard Tower was, Merlin was forced to pay more attention even when around his most trusted Wizard Leo. He could not show the Flame Maxim casually in the tower.

Wizard Leo did not seem to have noticed Merlin’s behavior. He gave a long sigh and continued to speak. “Back then, when Wizard Howl came to the Dark Magic Region, he had actually done so targeting Kleis. His daughter had been captured by Kleis from the outside and brought into the Dark Magic Region to become Kleis’ servant… Although on the surface she was a servant, in reality, Kleis had used her to experiment with some strange potion formulas as well as some cruel alchemy techniques. This isn’t confidential information in the Dark Magic Region.

“Wizard Howl had obtained a Dark Magic Ring through some way, I don’t know how, and came to the Dark Magic Region. It’s a pity that after all these years, his Spell Models had been unstable, so he could never become a powerful Spell Caster. He could only watch with his own eyes as Kleis tortured his daughter to her death. This time, Kleis has betrayed the Dark Magic Region. Perhaps Wizard Howl has finally made a decision or maybe because he can no longer stand it, he wants to put an end to it. Merlin, if you encounter Kleis in the future, don’t be careless. If you can kill him, then kill him. If you can’t, don’t push it.”

It turned out that Wizard Howl had such a tumultuous experience. This was the true Spell Caster’s world. As a genius in the Dark Magic Region, no one would reprimand him no matter how he treated the servants he had captured and brought back because that was the status of a servant; Spell Casters held the power over their lives.

Some Normies would even be turned into Alchemy Creatures by Spell Casters through alchemy. Such incidents happened everywhere. Merlin had already seen many in Floating City, but now that someone he knew had a similar experience, he could not help but feel a flash of fury in his heart.

“Kleis, we’ll meet!”

Merlin knew that Wizard Howl might never get the chance to return to the Dark Magic Region after leaving this time.

Merlin gave Wizard Leo a slight bow. When he was about to leave the room, Wizard Leo seemed to remember something so he said hurriedly, “Oh, right, there’s something else. It’s about your servant and young Wizard Emma.”

“Laurinka and Emma? Teacher, how are they?”

Merlin had just returned to the Dark Magic Region and had no chance to see Laurinka and Emma yet, so he did not know how they were now. Back then, Merlin had felt reassured before he had left the Dark Magic Region that they would not be in any danger as they were in the Dark Magic Region.

Wizard Leo spoke in a calm voice, “Nothing much. Just that a month ago, Emma had reported to me saying she and Laurinka were preparing to return to your clan in Prakash City for a visit. I don’t mind, but it’s been a month and they’re not back yet. If you’re worried, you can go back and take a look.”

Merlin nodded. The Dark Magic Region was not very far from Prakash City. However, if Laurinka and Emma were delaying their schedules slightly, a month’s time was also not a very long time.

However, Merlin had not returned for a very long time, ever since he had left Prakash City. He had even missed his sister, Macy and Yaguez’s wedding due to being trapped by Wizard Riesen in the ancient monument. Now that he thought about it, he felt very resentful.

Thereafter, Merlin bade Wizard Leo farewell and returned to his room in the Wizard Tower.

Seeing the familiar furnishing in the room, Merlin’s heart began to calm down slowly. The Dark Magic Region was the only place where he could feel completely relaxed.

“Mokra Potion!”

Merlin immediately took out the Mokra Potion prepared by Wizard Howl. Wizard Howl had painstakingly done researches on potions for many years and this was the potion that he was the proudest of. There would definitely be something unique about it.

Furthermore, Wizard Howl’s tremendous Mind Power had truly tempted Merlin. The one thing he lacked the most now was Mind Power. Even with the support from the Bell Space, Merlin still felt that his Mind Power was increasing too slowly.

“Try it out first.”

Merlin immediately opened a bottle of Mokra Potion. He knew a little about potions. Moreover, he had the Matrix to inspect it for him. The potion formula for this Mokra Potion was extremely complicated indeed, but it was still not a fatal potion. As a result, Merlin had nothing to worry about, so he immediately downed the Mokra Potion.

It was different from Phantasmal Magic Potion. After consuming the Mokra Potion, he could only feel a slightly cool sensation and there was no obvious increase in his Mind Power.

Just as Merlin was about to feel disappointed in the effects of the Mokra Potion, a violent pain shot through his mind viciously. It was extreme pain, so strong that even Merlin’s consciousness was beginning to blur.

“Could it be that there’s something wrong with the potion?”

Merlin was stunned. He had clearly checked the potion earlier and had even used the Matrix to test it. That was already him being extremely careful and diligent. After all, there was no conflict between Wizard Howl and himself, so why would he suddenly scheme against him?

However, this pain was just too frightening. Merlin’s Mind Power was somewhat unable to withstand it anymore as his consciousness slowly slipped into a blur. He could only vaguely feel an extremely warm feeling in his mind…

One day, two days…

Ever since Merlin had returned to the Dark Magic Region, he had not gone outside.

“Fuh… Feels really good!”

Finally, Merlin’s voice rang out from the quiet room. He slowly opened his eyes and felt a vigor in his entire body that he had never felt before. It was as though he had rested for a long time, and his mind felt incredibly stimulated.

“Matrix, how many days have I slept for?”

Merlin asked the Matrix the moment he woke up.

“Merlin, sir, you’ve been in deep sleep for five days and 6 hours!”

The Matrix’s voice rang inside Merlin’s mind. He had unconsciously slept soundly for five days. Ever since Merlin had become a Spell Caster, this was his first time sleeping for such a long time.

“Mokra Potion… Truly mystical!”

Merlin already knew that this Mokra Potion was the best potion to increase Mind Power. It was not surprising that Wizard Howl had spent the efforts of a lifetime on perfecting this ancient potion formula.

The moment the Mokra Potion was consumed, the body of the Spell Caster would fall into a deep sleep. Even his mind would become subdued. There was complete stillness, causing the body and the mind to receive excellent rest during this period. Then, once he woke up, his Mind Power would have increased rapidly during his unconscious state.

For example, Merlin had already been in a deep sleep for five days. After awakening, he had discovered that his Mind Power had increased greatly, and it seemed that it was not at all inferior to the Mind Power duplicate that had been fused in the Bell Space.

Such an effect could truly be called mystical. This was far better than the Phantasmal Magic Potion Merlin had obtained previously.

“Only, too bad, it causes the body and the mind to fall completely into a deep sleep. That’s too dangerous. I definitely can’t do that unless I’m in an absolutely safe place.”

A light flashed through Merlin’s eyes. The effects of the Mokra Potion may be good, but the side effects were also extremely obvious. The moment it was consumed, both the mind and body would fall into a deep sleep rapidly. This period was extremely dangerous for a Spell Caster – he must only consume the Mokra Potion in an absolutely safe environment.

“There are two more bottles of Mokra Potion. I’ll take them in the Dark Magic Region first. If Emma and Laurinka aren’t back yet after ten days, I’ll pay Prakash City a visit.”

Merlin decided to consume the Mokra Potion first. It was only in the Dark Magic Region that Merlin dared to fall into such a deep slumber. Furthermore, he could only construct a completely new Spell Model if his Mind Power had expanded.

Merlin was far from being content as a Second-level Spell Caster! He needed to be a Third or Fourth-level Spell Caster. Only by finally becoming a Fourth-level Spell Caster could those Pandora Demon Abilities in him unleash their greatest strength. By then, Merlin’s power would increase explosively!

However, all of that needed the support of a tremendous amount of Mind Power!

Therefore, Merlin took out a bottle of Mokra Potion once more. He opened the bottle and downed the content quickly.

…

Ten days passed by hurriedly. By the time Merlin had awakened for the second time, his Mind Power had almost doubled!

Double of Mind Power – he would need a very long time even with the Mind Power duplicate in the Bell Space to accumulate that much Mind Power. After all, Merlin’s Mind Power was already at the Fourth-level now. It was extremely difficult for him to increase it even by just a little, increasing it by two-folds would be akin to a miracle.

Furthermore, such a change had occurred only because Merlin had consumed three bottles of Mokra Potion. Even more mysteriously, Merlin had discovered that the effects of the Mokra Potion did not lessen at all despite multiple consumptions. That was to say, if there had been more Mokra Potion, it was absolutely possible for him to continue consuming it, and increase by two-folds, three-folds…

Such effects of the Mokra Potion made Merlin overjoyed. However, before Wizard Howl had left, he had only given Merlin three bottles of Mokra Potion, and Merlin had consumed them all.

Merlin frowned. The effects of this Mokra Potion were causing him to feel as though he was unable to stop. However, he knew that he should leave the Dark Magic Region as soon as he possibly could.

“I wonder have Emma and Laurinka returned?”

Merlin stood up and opened the door before walking toward Emma and Laurinka’s room.
