A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 731: Employment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The nearest dimension to Merlin was called the Gerva Dimension, which was easily found on the dimension map. It was a dimension belonging to a Great Legend called Gerva.

Merlin flew to the dimension alone, and soon found a prosperous city. Most of the people who came and went were Spell Casters, and many among them were Legendary Wizards.

This was very different from the chaotic territory from before. Although there were many Legends in the chaotic territory, it was far from the current amount. As this place was in the boundless territory, the Spell Caster civilization was powerful. Once they had occupied a dimension, they were able to keep it easily.

Therefore, many Spell Casters came to the boundless territory one after another.

Great Wizards went to the chaotic territory while Great Legends went to the boundless territory. This was common sense to many Spell Casters.

Merlin arrived at the boundless territory for the first time. He did not know the situation here, and just walked along the street, witnessing the prosperity and liveliness where wonderful casting tools filled the streets.

Merlin watched with great interest. While he was walking around aimlessly, some Spell Casters in front of him suddenly acted lively.

“Someone’s hiring again. Tsk tsk, this time it’s a big deal. Ten million elemental crystal stones.”

“The conditions are good but are you a Legendary Wizard? All others want are Legendary Wizards to help guard a dimension.”

Merlin heard some voices, and stepped forward. There was a white wall but he could see some Spell Casters’ Mind Power fluctuations. Merlin’s heart startled, and he also extended his Mind Power.

“Whoosh.”

Through his Mind Power, Merlin quickly saw the content on the white wall.

It was a Great Legend called Franz. He seemed to be hiring some Legendary Wizards. Each Legendary Wizard would get ten million elemental crystal stones.

The purpose of employment was to guard a dimension for three months.

“Guard a dimension?”

Merlin was also curious. This kind of employment was new to him, so he asked other Spell Casters.

After inquiring, Merlin gradually found that this was indeed a common practice in the boundless territory. As the Spell Caster civilization was relatively strong in the boundless territory, once a Spell Caster obtained a dimension, Wizards from the Spell Caster civilization would not compete for it unless they wanted to become a plunderer.

However, plunderers did not have a good reputation among the Spell Caster civilization, and not many were willing to become plunderers.

Therefore, if someone had occupied a dimension, and faced the threat of other powerful foreign civilizations, they could employ some Spell Casters to help with elemental crystal stones or other conditions.

This was very common in the boundless territory.

“This is a quicker way to understand the boundless territory.”

Merlin pondered, and felt that experiencing how the boundless territory competed for dimension was better than inquiring all over the place. Thus, he immediately found the address. Before that, he had to send a message. Messages were transmitted very quickly in dimensions.

Then, Merlin flew toward the address.

...

In a castle, there were currently four Spell Casters. Almost each of these Spell Casters had a Maxim that they kept hidden. They were all great Legendary Wizards.

There were three men and one woman. The four Spell Casters seemed to be waiting for something.

“Why hasn’t he arrived yet? Wizard Franz, the four of us should be enough. Do we need anyone else?”

The female Wizard seemed to become impatient, and asked coldly.

A middle-aged man sitting on a chair smiled and said, “Wait a little longer. The other party has already sent me a message and should be here soon.”

Franz was also somewhat helpless. The employment message had been sent out for so long but only three Wizards had come forward. Although they were all Legendary Wizards, it was not an ordinary foreign tribe that he had encountered this time. Therefore, he was more cautious. If he could hire one more, then he would have more assurance. After all, he had a difficult time trying to occupy that dimension, and did not want to lose it easily.

“Hm? He’s here!”

Suddenly, Franz turned toward the door, and the other Spell Casters also did the same. Their Mind Power had already caught the Spell Caster flying outside the castle.

However, they did not feel any force from the Spell Caster but a lot of rich Elemental forces.

“Creak.”

The large door was pushed open, and Merlin walked in calmly.

“Which one of you is Wizard Franz?”

Merlin asked bluntly.

“I am. However, I’m hiring Legendary Wizards. You don’t seem to have consolidated a Maxim.”

Franz frowned. He had written clearly that he wanted Spell Casters who were Legends or above. However, the Spell Caster in front of him had rich Elemental forces that undoubtedly confirmed that he was just a Great Wizard, and had not formed a Maxim yet.

Merlin smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Merlin. I’m from Setoh Arcane City!”

“Merlin? Wait, that name sounds very familiar...”

The female Wizard who was impatient seemed to have heard of the name before and thought hard.

“Haha, you can stop racking your head for now. I’m from Setoh Arcane City as well. Wizard Merlin has rendered great services during the civilization war with the Rock Tribe. He’s much stronger than regular civilization-level prodigies.”

Franz was uncertain at first but he was completely sure now, and laughed heartily. He was also from Setoh Arcane City, and had experienced the civilization war with the Rock Tribe. Therefore, he naturally had a deep impression on Merlin, a Spell Caster who was in the limelight during the civilization war.

“Wizard Franz is also from Setoh Arcane City? I didn’t notice...”

Merlin looked at Franz oddly. He did not notice Franz during the battle back then.

However, Franz was very happy. Although Merlin was not a Legendary Wizard, his strength was extraordinary. Only those who took part in the civilization war with the Rock Tribe would know Merlin’s power.

Therefore, Franz said hastily, “Wizard Merlin. Help me guard a dimension for three months, for ten million elemental crystal stones. How does that sound?”

Merlin looked at Merlin carefully before he realized that this was not Franz’s real body. It was just a Maxim avatar.

As if aware of Merlin’s doubts, Wizard Franz continued, “This is my apparition. My real body is at the dimension. How would I dare to simply leave?”

“Alright, ten million elemental crystal stones! I’ll sign the contract first.”

Merlin nodded and agreed to Franz’s condition. He had originally come to understand the boundless territory. It was naturally a good idea to have these ten million elemental crystal stones as well. It could increase the energy of the warship by ten percent. However, a contract had to be signed. That was the most basic condition.

“Haha, certainly.”

Franz smiled and took out a contract, and signed it with Merlin.

“Wizard Merlin, come, come. Let me introduce you. This is Wizard Ducas, Wizard Ford, and Wizard Ansya.”

Franz introduced Merlin to the other three Legendary Wizards.

Merlin greeted them with a smile. However, the three Legendary Wizards felt somewhat incredulous that Merlin was a civilization-level prodigy. It was not that they did not believe it. In fact, they trusted Franz very much. After all, they did not just start working with each other recently. Many people knew him for hiring to defend dimensions.

However, civilization-level prodigies were truly too rare. There were only a few of them in the entire Spell Caster civilization.

“Well, we’ll leave now. What do you all think?”

Franz seemed to be in a hurry. His dimension might be attacked by foreign tribes at any moment. Therefore, he did not want to delay even for a second.

“Yes, Franz, we’re ready.”

The others nodded. They flew out of the Gerva Dimension one after another, and headed for the real boundless territory.

Along the way, Wizard Ansya and the others seemed to be very curious about Merlin, and deliberately sped up. However, with the strength of Merlin’s multi-colored Wizard Heart, he easily caught up with them by consuming a little Magic Power.

Merlin did not mind either. After all, civilization-level geniuses were too rare. Many people would be skeptical if a Great Wizard wanted to rival a Great Legend.

Flying to the real boundless territory, Merlin realized that in the originally empty territory, the dimensions started to become dense. Some dimensions even exuded a frightening life force. It was the life force of foreign tribe contenders.

“Alright, we’re here.”

Franz stopped, and Merlin looked behind. The last Spell Caster civilization dimension was very far away. Almost all dimensions here belonged to foreign tribes.

This was the true boundless territory. It almost made Merlin think that he was back at the chaotic territory. However, this boundless territory was also a place where countless foreign tribes competed.

“Look, everyone. The dimension I occupied is right there. It’s surrounded by dimensions of foreign tribes.”

Franz pointed to a huge dimension in the distance emitting some of Franz’s life force, and showing everyone that it was already Franz’s dimension.

Almost everyone would do that in the boundless territory. Without any obvious life force, it would be considered a masterless dimension, which would cause a lot of trouble.

“Franz, with your strength, it shouldn’t be so difficult to occupy a dimension. Why do you have to employ so many Wizards?”

Wizard Ansya asked doubtfully. After all, forty million elemental crystal stones were not a small amount. Franz must have been very determined to part with that amount.

“Haha, if it were other foreign tribes, it’d be fine but the tribe competing with me for this dimension is the Golden-winged Insect Tribe. You should know how troublesome those insect tribes are, right? Once they’re annoyed, many powerful insect tribes will band together to take revenge.”

Franz smiled bitterly.

“You actually provoked an insect tribe? It’s not surprising that you’re so nervous. These insect tribes are quite troublesome, and they are great in number. However, this is the boundless territory where our Spell Casters are the most powerful. No matter how many insect tribes there are, we can defend the dimension.”

Wizard Ansya seemed to have absolute confidence.

“By the way, Wizard Merlin, these insect tribes are very troublesome, and great in number. Ordinary spells are useless against them, especially powerful insect tribes. They can only be killed using Maxims.”

Wizard Ansya warned carefully. After all, the civilization-level prodigy before him was only a Great Wizard.

“I’ll watch out.”

Merlin smiled, and nodded. He naturally accepted the other party’s goodwill. However, he was also very curious about the insect tribe. Merlin had never encountered an insect tribe before.

Soon, the line of five Wizards led by Franz entered the dimension he had occupied.
