Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
rlin was just about to tell Wizard Leo about his possession of Pandora Demon Ability but Wizard Leo waved his hand lightly. “Whatever Pandora Demon Ability you have, that’s your secret. You don’t have to tell .
“I’m just feeling gratified. What is Kleis in comparison? You’re far more outstanding than Kleis. Weiss and Bluebird are only the beginning. In the future, you must kill Kleis with your own hands, understand?”
A beam of light abruptly shone out of the crimson third eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead, and he wore a grave expression.
rlin was sowhat taken aback. According to the pact between the Dark Magic Region and Ozmu, Spell Casters above Fourth-level were not allowed to make any moves. However, rlin was not a Spell Caster above Fourth-level, but a First-level Spell Caster. Even if he leveled up in a short ti, he would still rely be a Second-level Spell Caster.
Only rlin would have the opportunity to kill Kleis who had betrayed the Dark Magic Region!
“Teacher Leo, I’ll keep this in mind. If I encounter Kleis in the future, I’ll kill him myself!”
rlin replied in a low voice, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Wizard Leo gave him a desolate smile and slightly bobbed his head. “Very well. Surely you’ve co to find for so other matter as well?”
Wizard Leo wore a half-smile as he looked toward the direction of the door.
rlin’s heart leaped, and he hurriedly gestured for Emma to co in, following which he said to Wizard Leo, “Wizard Leo, her na is Emma. Three years ago, I t her outside by chance and saw that she had Spell Caster Quality, so I gave her so spells. I didn’t think that in three years, she would consecutively construct three Zero-level spells. Therefore, I unofficially took her on as my student, and she’s been assigned to your Wizard Tower.”
rlin briefly explained Emma’s situation to Wizard Leo. Emma, despite seeing that Wizard Leo’s appearance was rather scary, still steeled her nerves and bowed toward him.
“Not bad, rlin. Since you’ve approved of her, you’ll have to guide her through her cultivation in the Dark Magic Region.”
Wizard Leo did not mind but instead handed the matter over to rlin. The hardest thing to do for soone with a temper like Wizard Leo’s was to handle a student.
“Oh right, Wizard Leo, there’s one more thing I need your help. I’ve beco a First-level Spell Caster, and have found an attendant, who’s also your previous student, Laurinka. As she did not beco a First-level Spell Caster, she was stripped off her Dark Magic ring and was sent away from the Dark Magic Region. Thus, now she has no way of entering the Dark Magic Region and is still waiting outside. I need your help, Teacher, to help apply for an attendant’s Dark Magic ring.”
rlin quickly clarified the matter of Laurinka. Wizard Leo flapped his hand and appeared rather impatient. “That’s a trivial matter. I’ll send for soone to bring the Dark Magic ring used by attendants, but you understand that according to the Dark Magic Region’s rules, any trouble caused by your attendant is equivalent to trouble caused by you. Therefore, you must be prudent in selecting an attendant.”
rlin nodded. An attendant was a representative of a Spell Caster, so many Spell Casters even after becoming Second- or Third-level in the Dark Magic Region, still had no attendants. That was because they were judicious in selecting an attendant, so if there was no one suitable at the mont, they could only choose not to accept any attendant for now.
With Wizard Leo’s help, a Spell Caster arrived at the tower soon enough, delivering a Dark Magic ring used by attendants to rlin. As soon as the ring was delivered, rlin’s servant, Laurinka, was in fact already in the Dark Magic Region’s records. That way, there would be no errors.
With the Dark Magic ring, rlin brought Emma away from Wizard Leo’s room. After they ca out, Emma heaved a sigh of relief. With so residual fear, she asked, “Teacher, that was Wizard Leo just now? He’s really scary...”
rlin knew that there were not many people who would be unafraid of Wizard Leo’s terrifying appearance. However, he had known Wizard Leo for a long ti and had a clear understanding of Wizard Leo’s character, so he was not frightened.
“Emma, Wizard Leo’s a good person. You’ll learn that after so ti. Co on, I’ll bring you to your room. You can rest first, and slowly familiarize yourself with the Dark Magic Region later.”
rlin helped Emma settled in the tower, and briefly went through a few things she should take note of before he hurriedly rushed back to where Laurinka was.
“Laurinka, put on this Dark Magic ring, then you may return to the Dark Magic Region once again.”
rlin gave a small smile and handed the Dark Magic ring to Laurinka.
Laurinka appeared to be very moved as she could finally return to the Dark Magic Region. Back then, when she was sent away from the Dark Magic Region, she felt that all her dreams turned to dust like there was no hope left. She would still be a nobody even if she returned to her clan.
However, with rlin, she had beco his attendant now. From this day onward, her chances of becoming a First-level Spell Caster were greatly increased. Moreover, due to rlin’s extraordinary status, she would no longer be soone insignificant even though she was rely rlin’s attendant.
“Swish!”
With her stirred up emotions, Laurinka and rlin went through the Runic Magic Circle together and returned to the Dark Magic Region once again.
...
“Whew...”
rlin finally returned to his room and heaved a long sigh. Only when he was back in the Dark Magic Region would he feel so relieved and comfortable.
“Earlier, Sir Didimoss deciphered the runes of the Neverending Book. Only then did this legendary treasure revealed its true appearance. Perhaps there really are clues to the second and third volus of the Neverending Book in it.”
rlin mumbled to himself, and then quickly retrieved the volu of the Neverending Book from his ring.
Currently, due to its runes deciphered by Didimoss, the Neverending Book no longer looked like it previously did. With its bright shining light, it used to appear plain and unadorned.
However, this was the true appearance of the Neverending Book. rlin quickly checked the cover of the book, on which appeared so mysterious words in the Molta language.
rlin began to go through the mysterious Molta language carefully.
“The three volus of the Neverending Book contained so spells and Pandora Demon Abilities which I created when I had nothing better to do. Initially, it was just sothing I scribbled in passing, sothing I planned to destroy. However, after so thought, I felt that it would be a sha to do so. Therefore, I’ve placed the three volus of the Neverending Book at three different places. The second volu is on a beach sowhere near the Death Sea. Naturally, one would be able to find it with the first volu.
“The third volu of the Neverending Book is at Rock Cavern. One would be able to locate the third volu if one is equipped with the first and second volus!
“For anyone from future generations lucky enough to collect all three volus of the Neverending Book, the spells and Pandora Demon Abilities are only a small plaything. On an impulse, I’ve sealed a Maxim in a hidden place. Only by gathering all three volus of the Neverending Book would one be able to find and obtain this Maxim...”
Having finished reading the words in Molta language of the Neverending Book, rlin was astounded.
The one who wrote this passage in Molta language was undoubtedly the Spell Caster who passed on these three volus of the Neverending Book. Nonetheless, in this Spell Caster’s eyes, the spells and Pandora Demon Abilities in the Neverending Book were only a “small plaything”, not worth ntioning.
The bigger treasure left behind by this Spell Caster was a Maxim that he had sealed away.
What was a Maxim? rlin was not clear on that but he vaguely knew that even the Great Wizards were unable to master Maxims. For instance, the Spatial Rings worn by many Spell Casters, in fact, were implanted with a Maxim. However, the Great Wizards themselves were unable to transfigure such a Maxim.
Even the Bell Space that rlin had obtained also contained a Maxim.
Therefore, even though rlin was unsure what a Maxim was, he knew that it was sothing even Great Wizards dread of – to think that a mysterious Spell Caster had left behind a Maxim.
Nevertheless, this required a person to collect all three volus of the Neverending Book. rlin had only heard of the Death Sea, but it was too far away. It was not even in the Kingdom of Blackmoon, but further down south, past the different areas of influence belonging to many spell casters’ organizations, where one would finally reach a sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.
That would be the Death Sea. Not even Spell Casters who were above Fourth-level would dare to say that they could reach the Death Sea. It might be that only Seventh-level Spell Casters would be able to reach the Death Sea despite the difficulties.
Although the second volu of the Neverending Book would be difficult to retrieve, there was ultimately still a sliver of hope. As for the third volu of the Neverending Book, it was hidden by the unknown Spell Caster at Rock Cavern. rlin had never heard of any place called Rock Cavern so it would be almost impossible to find.
With no way of compiling all three volus of the Neverending Book, one would naturally be unable to obtain the sealed Maxim. Therefore, regardless of how beneficial or tempting it was, it did not matter.
“With my current capabilities, I’m unable to even reach the Death Sea. It’s practically an impossible task to obtain the second volu of the Neverending Book...”
rlin shook his head helplessly. It was far too difficult to retrieve the second and third volus of the Neverending Book. Even if it could be done, it would definitely not be completed in a short ti.
Following that, rlin offhandedly kept the Neverending Book, and instead, took out the Pandora Demon Ability, Destructive Wind, which he had taken from Weiss!
This was a Wind-type Demon Ability with decent power. However, rlin’s Wind-type spells were Speed spells, so he had no way of cultivating Destructive Wind. The Dark Magic Region had Pandora Demon Abilities as well, so rlin was thinking of exchanging Destructive Wind for another Pandora Demon Ability which he could cultivate now, and which would be helpful to him.
For sothing as significant as exchanging a Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region, the first person who ca to rlin’s mind was Wizard Leo. If he had Wizard Leo’s assistance, then the trading of a Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region would surely go more smoothly.
With that in mind, rlin walked out of the room once more.
...
“Teacher Leo, I’m afraid there’s sothing I need your help with.”
rlin stood before Wizard Leo and spoke respectfully.
“Go on, what is it?”
Wizard Leo asked nonchalantly with a calm expression.
rlin drew in a deep breath, and cald his turbulent emotions, after which he said softly, “Teacher Leo, I would like to exchange a Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region!”
“Hmm? You want to exchange a Pandora Demon Ability?”
Wizard Leo’s initially peaceful face imdiately shifted slightly. The blood-red third eye on his forehead flashed open as well, fixing its glare on rlin.
