“Tutor Leo’s eyes?”

Laurinka stopped walking, and finally answered after moments of hesitation, “Tutor Leo’s eyes were already like this when I first arrived in the Dark Magic Region. I’ve heard that his eyes were caused by the cultivation of a Darkness-type spell. It seems that Tutor Leo did an experiment on himself and ruined his eyes with his own hands. Then, using some really strange potions produced with a Darkness-type spell, he created the Darkness Eye on his forehead. I heard that the Darkness Eye possesses a very peculiar power… I’m not too sure about the specifics.”

“Ruining both eyes to cultivate a Darkness-type spell?”

An indecipherable expression washed over Merlin’s face. He trembled slightly at the thought of Wizard Leo’s vacant, dead eyes. Even if that so-called Darkness Eye had many advantages, Merlin would not inflict such harm upon himself to become a ghost of horror.

“Well, you’re staying on the third floor of the tower.”

Without Merlin’s realization, Laurinka had already brought him to the third floor of the Wizard Tower. She pointed to several rooms, indicating that these rooms were Merlin’s home in the future.

Merlin glanced around roughly and was satisfied at what he saw. The rooms were large and spacious, sufficient for him who lived alone.

“I’m truly grateful to you, Wizard Laurinka, for helping me to settle down. I’m afraid I took too much of your time.”

Merlin expressed gratitude to Laurinka with a slight bow. He knew that time was very precious for Spell Casters, and he had taken almost half a day of Laurinka’s time.

Laurinka puckered her face in a smile. “I’m not helping you to adapt to the Dark Magic Region for nothing. This is the task I took in the Mission Hall. In other words, I acquire two contribution points every time I receive and welcome a new Spell Caster. Alright, I’m going to check if there’s any new Spell Caster coming in. If you have any doubts or questions in the future, don’t be afraid to come to me. I live on the sixth floor of the tower!”

She turned around and left the tower the moment she finished speaking.

Merlin walked into his room and hurriedly took out the intermediate level Mind Meditation Spell gifted by Wizard Leo.

This intermediate level Mind Meditation Spell was not too difficult to understand. Merlin could hardly wait to begin his meditation according to the methods shown, so gradually, he immersed himself in the realm of meditation.

In a short while, Merlin opened his eyes again with his face revealing a hint of joy. He whispered to himself in a low voice, “It works really well, at least three to five times more efficient than the beginner level Mind Meditation Spell that I practiced before.”

In less than an hour into meditation, Merlin clearly felt his Mind Power had increased, and the effect was so much better than beginner level Mind Meditation Spell he retrieved from old man Etha’s Spell Manual.

Hence, Merlin continued his meditation quietly in the room.

…

A month later, Merlin finally walked out of the Wizard Tower, and coincidentally bumped into Wizard Laurinka.

As the weather gradually warmed up, the female Wizards in the Dark Magic Region began to remove their thick layers of clothing. Laurinka was wearing a pair of tight shorts that showed off her slender, fair legs. Her upper body was covered with only a short silk gown that was made from a material as thin as gauze, vaguely revealing the splendor of spring hidden underneath.

Originally, Merlin thought all Spell Casters were serious, mysterious, and reserved. However, after arriving at the Dark Magic Region, he realized those kinds of Spell Casters only made up a tiny part of the population. Cultivation fanatics like Wizard Leo were even rare.

Female Wizards liked to dress in pretty clothes like other young women. To help them appear younger and more beautiful, they were also willing to spend precious contribution points in exchange for some active potions.

Although these active potions could only enhance skin elasticity and had no other effect, they were well-sought after among young female Wizards.

“Wizard Merlin, you’ve finally stepped out of the tower.”

Laurinka greeted Merlin with a smile. It seemed like she had also noticed that Merlin had hidden in the Wizard Tower since he arrived in the Dark Magic Region a month ago.

Merlin replied casually, “I’ve been meditating, that’s why I didn’t go out as often. I heard that Wizard Nasha is offering a free Wind-type spell course, so I decided to drop by and check it out.”

Laurinka frowned and asked in a low whisper, “Wizard Nasha’s free courses are mostly about some Zero-level spells. You’ve already constructed three Zero-level spells. Are you planning on constructing another one?”

Merlin’s replied the question with empty silence.

Out of kindness, Laurinka reminded him, “Wizard Merlin, indeed, constructing more spells is useful for building your strength in the future. However, it does not only exhaust your Mind Power but you’ll also need to spend lots of time reconstructing your Spell Models. When the time is matured for you to advance into a First-level Spell Caster, you’ll require more time to construct a First-level Spell Model compared to the others.

“A slight mistake and all your previous efforts are wasted! Moreover, all three of your existing Spell Models constructed outside might get unstable, hence, I don’t recommend you to construct more Spell Models. Instead, focus on the First-level Spell Model that corresponds to the three spells you’ve built earlier. It’ll assist your journey to become a First-level Spell Caster. After all, you only have three years.”

Merlin knew that Laurinka said those things out of concern. Indeed, if Merlin was just a normal Spell Caster, he would be satisfied with the three Spell Models he had constructed. To continue constructing more would break the hope of him becoming a First-level Spell Caster in the future.

However, he had the Matrix, and that was why he was not worried about the construction of Spell Models. As long as he reached a sufficient level of Mind Power, he was able to construct more Spell Models.

At the bottom line, Four-Elemental Wizards, Five-Elemental Wizards, and so on, were beyond the ability of common Three-Elemental Wizards, leaving a tremendous gap in between. Merilung, who had spent five years in the Abyss Fort, for instance, was able to become a Four-Elemental Wizard. However, perhaps the cultivation systems in the Abyss Fort was different from the Dark Magic Region where after five years, Merilung, who did not manage to upgrade to a First-level Spell Caster, was still allowed to stay in the Abyss Fort.

On the other hand, in the Dark Magic Region, if one failed to become a First-level Spell Caster within three years, they would be expelled from the organization.

“Thank you so much for your kind reminders, Wizard Laurinka. I’ll handle with attention.”

Merlin returned the smile.

Laurinka did not comment any further. She had already done her part of giving him sincere advice but it was completely up to Merlin to make his own decision.

Hence, she left hurriedly after a brief small talk.

Merlin walked around before he finally arrived in front of a tower. This Wizard’s tower did not soar into the sky but it looked brand new. This was Wizard Nasha’s tower. Wizard Nasha was recently promoted to a Fourth-level Spell Caster, so this tower was newly built.

Due to her delivery of free course, numerous people crowded in front of Wizard Nasha’s tower. The large crowd consisted mostly of beginner level Spell Casters.

“Buzz, buzz.”

Suddenly, the runes on the Wizard Tower began to glisten brightly. A young female Wizard appeared from the tower and shouted at the crowd of Spell Casters without much interest, “Wizard Nasha is ready now. Please enter the tower in a respected order. Anyone who fails to do so will be dismissed without prejudice.”

Everyone nodded obediently at the rule.

Following closely behind the crowd of Spell Casters, Merlin also took to his heels and headed into the tower.
