A Wizard’s Secret

The marriage of Baron Wilson Merlin had become the biggest event throughout the decade in Prakash City.

All large and minor aristocrats of Prakash City approached Merlin to congratulate him personally. Even those who could not make it due to urgent matters sent their people to wish him.

In addition, even Count Selin showed up at Wilson Castle to give his blessing to Baron Merlin and both of his wives.

This grand event was a heated discussion for many years.

…

“The Matrix, initiate!”

“Beep. The Matrix initiation successful. Please build your mission!”

“Analyze Spell Model of Earth Guard.”

“Beep. Analysis starting.”

Merlin was alone in his room as he initiated the analytic and calculating of the Matrix. He began to rebuild Earth Guard, which was an Earth-type spell he had received from the black-robed old man.

It had already been more than a year since Merlin married Avril and Charise, There was also good news as both were pregnant for slightly more than nine months.

Over this year, Merlin did not rest as well. He persisted in practicing the posture of the mysterious sculpture. His physical attribute had improved greatly to the point that it was now comparable to a Third-level Elemental Swordsman.

However, there seemed to be a large gap between Third-level and Fourth-level. It was extremely difficult to overcome the gap. Merlin figured that it would take at least a few years to practice the final posture of the sculpture to greatly improve his physical attribute, thus achieving the standard of a Fourth-level Elemental Swordsman.

Merlin was a Spell Caster. He did not have such high expectations for his physical attribute. To Merlin, it was already strong enough to possess a physical attribute comparable to a Third-level Elemental Swordsman.

As for his spells, regardless of Fireball or Frost, the accumulation of Magic Power was rather quick. He could almost cast approximately fifty spells without completely exhausting his Magic Power.

The amount of Merlin’s Magic Power was even comparable to the black-robed old man who had accumulated his Magic Power for a long time. Merlin’s Spell Model had a crucial effect on this matter.

The limit of a Spell Model was about thirty to forty times. Since the black-robed old man’s Spell Model was obtained from the army and was very unstable, it was only limited to forty casts at once. . Merlin’s Magic Power now was no weaker than that of the black-robed old man. This was the effect of an excellent Spell Model.

Except for the speed of Magic Power accumulation, Merlin’s Mind Power also improved. Although the improvement was slow, there should be no problem for him to support three Spell Models now.

Therefore, Merlin had allowed the Matrix to analyze hisEarth-typeEarth-type spell, Earth Guard. He was ready to simulate the third Spell Model in his Awareness.

“Beep. Analysis ended. A total of eighty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-one Spell Models are obtained.”

The Matrix had obtained a result of more than eighty thousand Spell Models. As compared to the previous Spell Models where the first was one hundred eighty thousand and the second was one hundred twenty thousand, this seemed to be much lesser.

However, Merlin had already obtained a conclusion. The analysis of the Matrix was based on data. Since there were many Spell Models for Fireball back then, it was only natural that the Matrix could analyze so many Spell Models with these as references.

The Frost also had a few Spell Models as a reference, so more than one hundred and twenty thousand Spell Models could be obtained.

However, he only received one Spell Model for Earth Guard from the black-robed old man. The decline in date naturally decreased the number of Spell Models analyzed by the Matrix.

Following that, Merlin once again chose the most stable and powerful Spell Model amongst the eighty thousand Spell Models. After witnessing the black-robed old man’s situation, Merlin was determined to choose the most stable Spell Model even if it was not powerful. If this was not the case, it would be disastrous should the Spell Model became unstable.

After choosing the Spell Model, the last step was simulating the Spell Model in his Awareness. This step was not dangerous. As long as he had enough Mind Power, there was no problem simulating the Spell Model in his Awareness.

“Voom!”

After spending a few hours simulating Earth Guard in his Awareness, Merlin suddenly sensed countless yellowish spots of light around him. The spots were absorbed into the Spell Model gradually and made the whole Spell Model seem heavy.

Merlin knew that these yellowish spots of light were the Earth elements. Once the Earth elements had accumulated to a certain extent, Merlin could cast Earth Guard.

With a Defensive spell like Earth Guard, Merlin did not need to fear the attack of crossbow archers. Back then when Merilung faced the attack of thousands of crossbow arrows in Count Selin’s castle, he only used Earth Guard to block the attack. This was sufficient to prove the strength of the spell.

Although Merlin had received the spell from the black-robed old man, the Spell Model created through the analysis from the Matrix was far better than that of the old man’s in terms of stability and power.

Even the excellent Earth Guard that Merilung learned from the Abyss Fort was slightly inferior to the Spell Model Merlin had acquired through the Matrix’s analysis.

“Hu…”

Merlin heaved a sigh of relief. He sensed the Spell Models in his Awareness and he could not help but brim with smiles.

The presence of three Spell Models indicated that if Merlin had enough Mind Power while also possessing a First-level Spell Model that corresponded with the three Spell Models; he could begin to build a First-level Spell Model.

Once he succeeded in doing so, Merlin could become a strong First-level spell Caster!

The Spell Manual of old man Etha once mentioned that only a First-level spell Caster could be counted as a true Spell Caster. To become a First-level spell Caster was to become a whole new person compared to a Normie. Even his lifespan would be extended.

Some strong First-level spell Casters could live up to two hundred years. This was a long lifespan that Normies could not even imagine to have.

The third Spell Model was slowly accumulating Magic Power, and Merlin still wanted to test its power, but a series of urgent footsteps was heard outside the door.

“Sir Baron.”

Merlin stood up and opened the door. It was the butler who appeared anxious.

“Quick, Lady Charise is in labor. Sir Baron, please get there as quickly as you can,” the butler said in a rush.

“In labor?”

Merlin was startled, then he was filled with indescribable happiness. If he counted the time, it was about time for Charise and Avril to be in labor since they were pregnant for more than nine months. Thus, Merlin did not have the chance to test the power of Earth Guard as he immediately followed the butler to Charise’s room quickly.
