In the dark room, the Spell Casters were silent.

Shireen took a glance at the Spell Casters and asked in a low voice, “Emily, you had reached Tolle City earlier than us. Have you heard any news?”

Emily was a blonde female Spell Caster with blue eyes and attractive slender fair legs. When Shireen asked her, everyone focused their gaze on her at once.

After a few moments, Emily replied hesitantly. “We didn’t get any news. The information of the Neverending Book is still the same as what we obtained before. Two days from now, the Shadison clan will openly disclose the Neverending Book!”

“The Neverending Book, huh. That is a legendary treasure!”

As soon as they mentioned the Neverending Book, these Spell Casters were overwhelmed with excitement. They had come to Tolle City after so much effort just to see the Neverending Book.

The legendary Neverending Book had three volumes in total; it had been passed down since the generation of Molta Empire. However, no one had ever seen the real thing. At most, many had only heard about the legends surrounding the Neverending Book.

The first volume of the Neverending Book recorded a variety of First-level to Third-level spells. The records were rather complete and many of the spells were extremely precious.

If an ordinary Spell Caster clan had gotten their hands on the first volume of Neverending Book, the ability of the clan would surely be improved tenfold after a mere ten years of practice.

On top of that, this was only the first volume of the Neverending Book. The second volume was even more intriguing; it recorded a variety of Fourth-level to Sixth-level spells.

This would spark interest even more amongst Spell Casters as there was an abundance of First-level to Third-level spells, despite it being difficult to obtain the spells, roaming wizards were perfectly capable of doing so. However, Fourth-level to Sixth-level spells were a commodity and were very rarely present in the outside world. Even if many roaming Wizards had become Third-level Spell Casters out of sheer luck, they could not level up to become Fourth-level Spell Casters without Fourth-level spells.

Furthermore, even the Spell Casters in some Spell Caster organizations had to fight for Fifth-level and Sixth-level spells.

Meanwhile, the third volume of the Neverending Book had always been close to a myth. There was no record about the people who had obtained the third volume even during the age of Molta Empire.

However, rumor had it that the third volume recorded the mysterious yet powerful Pandora Demon Abilities. Each Pandora Demon Ability possessed a fearful power.

Sadly, the third volume had always been a myth even since the age of Molta Empire. After three thousand six hundred years, the third volume of the Neverending Book might not appear at all.

Shireen nodded and continued. “Oh yeah, Emily, Tafel. Have you found out why the Shadison clan is openly disclosing the first volume of the Neverending Book in Tolle City?”

Should one obtain the Neverending Book, the overall strength of the clan could be improved greatly after many years of careful practice. Instead, Shadison chose to disclose the precious Neverending Book; this was simply inconceivable.

Emily shook her head slightly. “This matter had sparked a huge discussion in Tolle City from the moment news had come to light. The reason was simple, treasures like the Neverending Book, albeit the first volume, is not something that the Shadison clan could have simply taken into possession.”

“Although there were only First-level to Third-level spells in the first volume, many Spell Caster clans have set their gaze on the book. Amongst all, the Doret clan, another Spell Caster clan in Tolle City, has gathered many roaming Wizards in the dark; they have even gathered a few strong Third-level Spell Casters to impose pressure on Shadison clan. They were requesting the Shadison clan to hand over the first volume of Neverending Book.

“However, Shadison clan was quite smart as well; they retaliated by making the decision to announce that they would publicly disclose the Neverending Book in Tolle City. At that time, the spells on the Neverending Book would be shown to everyone and the Doret clan would not be able to keep those roaming Wizards together anymore. This way, the Shadison clan would be able to overcome this crisis.”

Emily carefully explained the information she had gathered in Tolle City.

Shireen nodded. With the Doret clan pressuring Shadison, Shadison could definitely not keep the first volume of the Neverending Book to themselves any longer. Moreover, only such a bold move could allow them to keep the book and, at the same time, resolve the Doret’s clan’s scheme.

This was indeed how a Spell Caster clan survived in this world 1 . Shireen was also from a Spell Caster clan; she immediately understood the whole situation after deliberating about it for a while.

“The conflict between these two clans gives us an invaluable chance anyway. How else would we be able to see the legendary Neverending Book?”

Shireen said with a smile.

“That’s right. We’ve just got to wait for two more days for the Shadison clan to disclose the Neverending Book!”

The young Spell Casters kept on chatting away with looks of excitement. Only Emma was staring into the dark night sky with a hint of melancholy. That black-robed figure in Ditas Town kept on flashing in her mind…

…

Under the veil of the night, a figure sprang out from the forest.

“Phew…”

The figure heaved a long sigh and muttered as she faced the tall walls. “Tolle City, I’m finally here. All the way from Floating City, Merlin, you are one tough opponent to find!”

With a closer look, this figure was a woman, an extremely beautiful woman.

However, this beautiful woman wore a stiff expression; her gaze was sharp and sinister. Her long blonde hair was combed back and tied into a ponytail.

On her head was an odd looking black hat which was decorated with a feather.

A Spell Caster who was familiar with Ozmu would immediately discern that this beautiful woman with a weird outfit was no ordinary woman. She was the cold-blooded Bluebird of Ozmu who had killed countless Spell Casters.

Bluebird was simply a codename. No one knew her real name. Since the time she had appeared, she had been known as Bluebird!

Not only was Bluebird strong, but she was also cruel and merciless. She had her own way of killing Spell Casters, she took pleasure in causing excruciating pain and would torture her victims to death.

Hence, many Spell Casters would be gripped by an immense fear as soon as the name Bluebird was mentioned.

“Swish.”

Bluebird glanced at the tall wall in front of her. Then, a slight fluctuation of Wind Element appeared on her and her figure dashed forward at once. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the night.

…

“Alright, wait here for me.”

Merlin’s voice came from the carriage. Following that, the carriage slowly came to a halt. Merlin came out of the carriage and raised his head to look at the large manor.

This was indeed a huge manor. There were many castles in there and it appeared to be strictly guarded. A few Elemental Swordsmen were standing on guard outside.

These Elemental Swordsmen were at least Third-level Elemental Swordsmen. If it was back in Blackwater City, they were definitely seen as strong. However, these people were only responsible for patrolling and guarding in Tolle City.

Elemental Swordsmen who had not become Fourth-level intermediate Elemental Swordsmen could not threaten a Spell Caster at all. Thus, these Elemental Swordsmen who were below Fourth-level were not even comparable to an Entrance-level Spell Caster who had constructed a spell.

Merlin headed straight to the entrance of the manor, but he was blocked by the Elemental Swordsmen.

The Elemental Swordsmen sized up Merlin for a moment. They seemed to recognize that Merlin was wearing a Wizard’s robe and was a Spell Caster, so they were rather respectful towards him.

“Sir, how may we help you in Shadison Manor?”

This manor was the location at which Shadison clan was based in. It was called the Shadison Manor.

Merlin calmly replied, “I’m here to look for Laurinka!”

“Young Lady Laurinka?”

This Elemental Swordsman shot him an odd look but resumed his normal expression afterward. Hence, he respectfully said to Merlin, “Please give me a moment sir. We will notify Young Lady Laurinka now.”

Merlin nodded, then stood outside the manor as he waited silently.

As he waited, Merlin settled his gaze on the manor. Although he did not use his Mind Power, he could faintly sense that there were many Spell Casters in the manor.

The whole Shadison Manor appeared calm, but it was actually bustling with activity in reality. The security here was also extremely tight. Merlin did not know about the Shadison’s clan’s situation since he had just arrived in Tolle City.

“Young Lady Laurinka, this Wizard wanted to meet you.”

Soon, the Elemental Swordsman brought a female Wizard outside.

The female Wizard appeared to be exhausted. With a pale blue Wizard’s robe, her head was covered under the large hood. Only Merlin’s exceptional sight was able to read the Wizard’s expression.

“Wizard Merlin?”

The female Wizard exclaimed in shock. Following that, she pulled her large hood down to reveal her tired expression.

“Wizard Laurinka, we meet again!”

Merlin revealed a light smile as he calmly replied.

Laurinka quickly took a few steps forward to examine Merlin. Following that, she seemed to think of something and a hint of expectation flashed on her face. With a low voice, she asked, “Wizard Merlin, you… have you become a First-level Spell Caster?”

It seemed Laurinka had not known about Merlin’s matters, so she asked this.

Merlin nodded seriously. “That’s right. I’m already an official member of Dark Magic Region. I can still remember my promise to you back then!”

Merlin had promised that he would let Laurinka be his servant after he had become a First-level Spell Caster and an official member of Dark Magic Region.

This was also Laurinka’s last wish when she had reluctantly left the Dark Magic Region. Little did she expect that her last wish would become reality.

At once, Laurinka was overwhelmed with emotions; she stared at Merlin and no words came to her for a long time.
