Chapter 243: An Encounter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A horse carriage trotted along the uneven road. It wore bells that rang sharply as it moved.

In the carriage sat rlin, who wore a black robe, he buried his nose in a perfectly-bound black-covered book.

It had been four days since he had left Floating City. During that ti, his Mind Power had increased as his Mind Power duplicate cultivated Mind ditation in the Bell Space.

Hence, besides consuming a few portions of the Phantasmal Magic Potion, he had used his leisure ti to read.

He found the book from within Weiss and Riesen’s rings. The book was an introduction to the three-thousand-six-hundred-year-old Molta Empire. It ntioned notable events, particularly related to the powerful Spell Casters and the collapse of the Molta Empire.

The Molta Empire was an incredibly mysterious nation, especially as three thousand six hundred years ago, Spell Casters had developed significantly. This era was known to be when Spell Casters were at their peak.

Hence, many Spell Casters were interested in the Molta Empire, they had researched it thoroughly but to this day, no one truly knew what caused the collapse of the Molta Empire.

When rlin was in Blackwater City, he had retrieved a relief sculpture that could enhance one’s physical attributes. Now, his physique was close to that of a Fourth-level Elental Swordsman. He was incredibly fit and his body could even withstand heavy damage.

His physique was much stronger than that of an average Spell Caster, this had also saved his life in past encounters.

The relief sculpture originated from the Molta Empire. It was without question that there must have been many of those relief sculptures during the Molta Empire.

Just as rlin had suspected, the Spell Casters during the Molta Empire were at their peak and they would not neglect their physique.

It is possible that the mysterious relief sculptures were created by the Spell Casters to produce perfect physical attributes.

Of course, this was just an assumption of rlin’s.

The mysterious Molta Empire was researched by countless Spell Casters. They would investigate ancient monunts with many different thods and note down their findings. They used their clues and speculations of the Molta Empire to publish books for many other Spell Casters to read.

rlin now read one of these books about the speculations of the Molta Empire. No one knew what had truly happened three thousand six hundred years ago, during that magnificent and mysterious era.

“Perhaps Wizard Bell was a Spell Caster from the Molta Empire too and there are more than three parts to his Assembled casting tool...”

rlin lowered his head and looked at the Bell Space that hung at his chest. It was only three casting tools, but rlin had a feeling that the Bell Space was not as simple as it seed.

Perhaps the casting tool was not complete and Wizard Bell’s Assembled casting tool may be far from reaching its final form. Perhaps there were fourth, fifth, or even sixth components that had not been discovered and rlin would have to find them eventually.

Suddenly, the horse carriage stopped in its track. The carriage driver turned and whispered to rlin, “Sir rlin, there are two people ahead blocking our route.”

rlin furrowed his eyebrows as he opened the carriage screen and looked outside.

In front of the carriage stood a man and a woman. On the side of the road was their horse carriage but it was broken and there was no way for them to continue their journey.

However, rlin stayed vigilant. Not because of the woman’s temperant and appearance, but because of her long black hair.

rlin had really stood out in Blackwater City because of his jet-black hair, a feature that was said to have been passed down from his absent mother.

The east side of the Kingdom of Blackmoon was said to have many black-haired people. However, rlin had been in the Kingdom of Blackmoon for a long ti and yet, he had never seen a black-haired person before. Hence, he was very surprised when he saw this woman.

The woman bowed slightly at the sight of rlin and asked him with aristocratic etiquette, “My apologies, we seem to have encountered so problems with our horse carriage, and the next town is quite far. Would you kindly give us a lift there?”

rlin looked at his map. The journey to the next town would indeed take most of the day but there was no way for these two to continue their journey with their broken carriage.

rlin sighed slightly and nodded as he calmly said, “Hop in.”

The man and woman smiled and quickly got into rlin’s carriage.

“We don’t an to bother you!”

The woman said politely. The carriage was much warr, and the woman’s pale face began to flush with redness.

rlin looked at the two briefly then continued to bury his nose in his black-covered thread-bound book. The woman studied rlin intensely for a few monts, then finally, her gaze locked onto the robe rlin wore.

She had been calm before, but when she saw rlin’s robe, she stiffened slightly.

“What is your na?”

The woman asked cautiously.

“rlin!”

He replied. The woman rushed to introduce herself. “Mister rlin, I am Shireen, and this is my little brother, Haya!”

Shireen stared fiercely at Haya, he had seed slightly reluctant as he shouted to rlin, “Mister rlin!”

rlin did not think much of Haya’s forceful attitude and nodded lightly.

Shireen noticed rlin’s calm deanor and hesitated slightly before she carefully asked, “Mister rlin, where are you heading?”

“Tolle City!”

rlin squinted with a forced smiled on his face. Tolle City was a huge city, and not many Spell Casters resided there, but, there were many Normies.

However, as rlin replied, he noticed that these two people were not Normies, but in fact, Spell Casters.

Shireen heard rlin ntion Tolle City and imdiately beca nervous. The lazy Haya also seed more cautious now as he watched rlin’s every move.

rlin said no more, and the horse carriage was silent.

...

The sky had turned dark as evening ca. The horse carriage was slowly approaching a small town.

A man and woman ca down from the carriage, and the black-haired woman said, “Thank you, Mister rlin, for your kindness. We will look for another carriage now, we don’t want to trouble you further.”

She finished speaking and the both of them turned to make their leave.

rlin watched the two figures leave, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He whispered, “How interesting. They got very nervous when I ntioned that I was heading to Tolle City. Could they be going there too?”

rlin pondered for a mont but did not think more of it. He dismissed the carriage driver to rest for the night and they would continue their journey in the morning.

...

Haya and Shireen had hidden in a corner and waited for the horse carriage to leave before they stepped out.

Shireen relaxed slightly as she watched the carriage slowly leave.

Haya stood beside her and furrowed his eyebrows as he asked, “Shireen, why were you so polite to a Normie? We’re heading to Tolle City and we can’t delay much longer. That horse carriage wasn’t half bad, even if you didn’t kill him, couldn’t you have just asked that rlin to get out of the carriage?”

Haya did not agree with how Shireen had treated rlin.

Shireen kept calm but soon, she shook her head nonstop. “You’ve never left the clan, so you can’t have recognized rlin’s robe.”

“Robe? You an the casting tool? Shireen, why didn’t you say so? We are both First-level Spell Casters, even the leaders of the clan don’t have a single robe. rlin has one, he must be a roaming Wizard. We could force him to give it to us and we would finally have a robe!”

Haya itched to give it a try. He watched the carriage disappear into the distance, eager to chase after it.

Shireen’s expression was serious as she responded coldly, “Haya, if it weren’t for my promise to Father, I would not bring you to Tolle City. Though we’re only going to Tolle City to check it out, I am worried your temperant will cause a scene. Do you know what that robe represents? It is the robe of an official mber of the Dark Magic Region. Every official mber of the Dark Magic Region is at least a First-level Spell Caster. I was incredibly nervous in the carriage, I was afraid Wizard rlin would not be too fair on us, it is a good thing you did not try to attack him...”

Shireen did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She had a few regrets bringing Haya out of the clan.

She did not know how strong the official mbers of Spell Caster organizations such as the Dark Magic Region were, but to attack a Spell Caster from the organizations would be suicide.

“So, he is a Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region. Shireen, our luck isn’t so bad. We have just t with a stranger who turns out to be a powerful Spell Caster. Our trip to Tolle City will surely be rewarding!”

Haya was excited, but Shireen just shook her head. She made a promise to herself that next ti, no matter how much Haya begged, she would never bring him out again.

“Let’s go, we need to find a horse carriage to take us to Tolle City.”

She said as she took Haya and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
