Chapter 118: Donglin City II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, a mysterious team led by Wizard Pario quietly left Donglin City. However, as soon as they left, two figures – one male and the other female – appeared behind them.

These two wore tight clothes and carried a huge sword behind their back. They seemed to have been prepared earlier but the younger male appeared to be hesitant. He spoke softly, “Catherine, when we went to the Kurdish Mountains in search of Spell Casters organization previously, we’re already heavily scolded by Father. If we followed them to take a risk again and if Father finds out about it, I’m afraid that we can’t ever think of going out of the house again.”

Catherine glared at the man and exclaimed, “Capace, you can’t be scared now? Although the Dark Vampire Bats are strong, the team is led by Wizard Pario, Wizard Simp and Father this time. There are also thirty Ice Swordsmen, all Fourth-level and above. What danger will there be? Alright, speak no more. We don’t get such a chance often. Let’s just follow them. Hehe. We may even witness some interesting stuff.”

After saying that, Catherine wore an excited expression. Then, she pulled Capace and sneakily followed Wizard Pario’s team and left Donglin City.

Outside of Donglin City, four young figures appeared worn out and weary. It seemed they had gone through a long journey to reach this place, so they all seemed to be exhausted.

“That’s Donglin City in front. Let’s go. We should meet Marquis Barossa directly. I believe he’ll have some news regarding the Dark Vampire Bats.”

Holmes seemed to have thought this through. Moreover, during the journey, it was him who led the team. Laurinka and Merlin did not express any opinion at all and just followed Holmes.

Thus, the four of them entered Donglin City directly.

Donglin City was the central area of Donglin city-state. It was even more prosperous than Count Selin’s Prakash City. Moreover, the highest title in the whole Donglin city-state was a Marquis. In the Kingdom of Blackmoon, Donglin city-state was counted as a city-state in the middle range. This was not something Prakash city-state could compare to.

However, as they faced the bustling Donglin City, Merlin and others were not in the mood to enjoy it. Instead, they headed directly toward Marquis Barossa’s castle. After accepting this mission, Merlin and the team had already grasped most of the information in Donglin City.

Marquis Barossa of Donglin City had up to a hundred of intermediate Elemental Swordsmen and numerous hundred thousand elite knights under his command. Also, there were at least five roaming Wizards working for him. This showed that his influence was wide and great.

However, Holmes did not seem to care about Marquis Barossa’s forces at all. His plan was simple – to crash into Marquis Barossa’s castle and asked him about the information regarding the Dark Vampire Bats.

“Stop right there. Who are you?”

Holmes brought the team outside of Marquis Barossa’s castle where they were immediately stopped by the guards.

“Confine!”

Holmes simply frowned a little, then waved his hands lightly. A strong fluctuation of Wind Element appeared and whistled by, surrounding these few guards.

“Let’s go,” Holmes said without much emotion. Without even sparing a glance at these guards, he walked directly into the castle.

Merlin squinted his eyes and mumbled to himself, “A Binding and Wind-type spell?”

Since Merlin entered the Dark Magic Region, he had learned about all types of spells. He was no longer the rookie Wizard who did not even know about the common sense about spell. Thus, with one glance, he knew that the spell Wizard Holmes cast earlier was a Wind and Binding-type spell.

Moreover, the spell could confine numerous guards at once. It should be “Confinement Wind” which required five contribution points to be exchanged in the Resource Tower.

With Holmes clearing the path in front, any guard they met did not even have the chance to come close to them. They were already confined by Holmes then, so the four of them entered the castle as if they were going into an empty place.

“Swoosh!”

As soon as Merlin and the team stepped into the hall, numerous strong Elemental Swordsmen immediately flooded into the hall with a strong fluctuation of Element gleaming on them.

These Elemental Swordsmen were at least Third-level Elemental Swordsmen.

“Who are you? How dare you to crash into the Marquis’s castle?”

Behind the guards, a skinny old man who wore a blue long robe was staring sharply at Merlin and the others.

“So troublesome! It seems we have to kill someone first!”

Mysterious runes slowly appeared on Holmes’ robe which covered his whole body. His Mind Power began to fluctuate. He was preparing to cast a spell now.

“Wizard Holmes, we don’t have to go through the trouble.”

Suddenly, a low yet calmed voice rang beside Holmes’ ears.

“Wizard Merlin, you have a way?”

Holmes shot a glance at Merlin, rather surprised.

Merlin did not reply directly. Instead, he scanned the Elemental Swordsmen beside them emotionlessly.

“Dark Mist!”

In an instant, Merlin cast Dark Mist. A huge mist suddenly appeared out of thin air and rapidly hovered over the hall, engulfing the Elemental Swordsmen in it.

Dark Mist was a Hallucination-type spell. Once engulfed by it, those with a weaker Mind Power would be susceptible to hallucination. When Merlin was battling with Merilung, he was engulfed by Dark Mist cast by Merilung. Even Merlin had fallen into a hallucination then, not to mention these Elemental Swordsmen.

Thus, even if there were dozens of strong Elemental Swordsmen in the hall, all of them had lost all senses of the outside world the instant Dark Mist dawned on them. All of them seemed like they were in a trance where they simply stood idly.

“Swoosh!”

With Gale, Merlin rapidly arrived in front of a middle-aged man in the hall. He spoke in a calm tone, “Marquis Barossa, we’re here to investigate the matter of the Dark Vampire Bats. You don’t have to be tense.”

Marquis Barossa appeared rather unruffled and stared closely at Merlin. Then, he looked at the skinny old man beside him.

The skinny old man’s expression kept changing. After a while, he sighed deeply. “Sir Marquis, they should be the Spell Casters from the Dark Magic Region.”

This skinny old man was obviously a Spell Caster. He should be a roaming Wizard who was under the command of Marquis Barossa. Since he was a roaming Wizard, it was not odd for him to recognize that Merlin and the team were Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region. After all, Donglin City was under the influence of the Dark Magic Region.

Marquis Barossa relaxed and smiled. “So, you’re Spell Casters from the Dark Magic Region. Wizard Nasha has once come to Donglin City as well. She brought an extremely gifted girl away then. How is the girl doing now?”

“Oh? Wizard Nasha has come here as well? I just join the Dark Magic Region recently. I’m not so sure about Wizard Nasha’s matter.”

Hearing Barossa mentioning Wizard Nasha, Merlin knew he was not lying. Thus, he waved his hands lightly and cast Dark Mist away. The Elemental Swordsmen immediately came to their senses and looked at Merlin with a horrified expression.

“Dark Mist?”

Not only those Elemental Swordsmen, even Wizard Holmes who was with Merlin also mumbled to himself. When he raised his head and looked at Merlin again, a strange look flashed across his eyes.
