《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Inside the brightly-lit tower, the atmosphere was very different from the dark and gloomy atmosphere which filled Wizard Leo's tower. Presumably, this was influenced by the Runic Magic Circle the Wizards had chosen while building their Wizard Towers.
At the front of this bright and spacious tower was a long wooden table. A graceful woman about thirty years old, dressed in a white robe, was seated behind the wooden table. Merlin presumed her to be the owner of the tower, Wizard Nasha.
Wizard Nasha was not considered a belle but her simple appearance – golden locks that hung effortlessly on her back in a simple ponytail and a spotless white robe draped over her body with a matching light blue belt around her waist – gave a down-to-earth, non-pretentious impression.
"The main topic of my lesson today is a Zero-level Wind-type spell – Gale, and the construction of some related Spell Models."
Wizard Nasha spoke, wearing a smile on her face. Her calm and soft voice was soothing to the ears. The audience who was making noise earlier also quieted down unconsciously.
Merlin nodded silently in the crowd. It was no wonder Wizard Nasha managed to attract so many people to listen to her teaching on Spell Models construction in her tower. Not only because it was free but her temperament and kind character also made those around her felt at ease and comfortable, which was a rare scene to see in the Dark Magic Region.
It was very unlike Wizard Leo, who not only had a disturbing appearance, but also a strange temperament. Even the students from his Wizard Tower were not willing to meet Wizard Leo, let alone Spell Casters from other towers.
Wizard Nasha started the explanation on Zero-level Wind-type Gale. Although Merlin had the Matrix to assist him in the analysis, it was still necessary to understand the basic knowledge of spells construction.

Furthermore, the next spell that Merlin was preparing to construct was exactly Wind-type Gale.
"Matrix, ready to record!"
Merlin secretly activated the Matrix and commenced recording the knowledge Wizard Nasha shared today as they might be helpful to Merlin's construction of Spell Models.
The teaching style of Wizard Nasha was also exceptionally interesting. She was able to lead her audience into an in-depth immersion of the content without them knowing. Even Merlin had forgotten about everything else and was completely engaged in Wizard Nasha's lesson.
The construction of a Spell Model was truly a complicated process as it demanded a vast amount of basic understanding of Spell Models. Besides, each Spell Model had specific differences that required a Spell Caster's hands-on construction.
No wonder Laurinka mentioned that the construction of Spell Models was the most arduous. She was born into a family of highly experienced Spell Casters hence she had been receiving knowledge about Spell Model construction since she was a child.
However, even if she grew up in such an environment which awarded her much better advantages compared to roaming Wizards, she was still at her wit's end about the construction of Spell Model, especially regarding First-level Spell Model. Until now, she had not built a First-level Spell Model yet.
If Laurinka was stuck in a position like this, it was not worth mentioning about the roaming Wizards like old man Etha and the black-robed old man.
In hindsight, old man Etha was slightly better in comparison with the others. With decades of understanding about spells, he was able to reconstruct several Spell Models. Even though Merlin thought that the several Spell Models built by old man Etha were unrefined, it was considered pretty good for the standard of roaming Wizards.
For instance, the black-robed old man who had never constructed a Spell Model properly but had been simulating the Spell Model obtained from the army directly in his Awareness had undoubtedly caused him numerous troubles.

"Alright, that's all for today."
Three hours later, Wizard Nasha's course finally came to an end. Many Spell Casters bowed slightly at Wizard Nasha as a gesture to express their gratitude before they turned and left the tower.
After returning to Wizard Leo's tower, Merlin repeatedly replayed the lesson taught by Wizard Nasha with the information stored in the Matrix. Finally, he shook his head helplessly.
It was too complicated to construct a Spell Model without the help of the Matrix. Eventually, Merlin completely dismissed the idea of constructing a Spell Model by himself.
Since then, Merlin spent some time attending a runology class. After all, it seemed that the mysterious runes were noticeable everywhere in the Dark Magic Region, and each possessed a unique ability. Grasping the meaning or even mastering the mysterious runes would enhance his ability.
However, Merlin was completely defeated after attending one runology class. The study of runology was too vast and complicated. Besides that, to cast runes, one had to rely completely on Mind Power and it required superb comprehension ability.
Merlin was not a genius. If it was not for the Matrix, he might not even be able to construct a Spell Model, let alone becoming a Spell Caster.
Upon discovering that rune was not within his capability, Merlin gave up completely and began devoting himself to the cultivation of Mind Meditation Spell.
Generally, Spell Casters had more time than Normies but it was not the same for Merlin. He only had three years to construct Spell Models. If he spent too much effort in other aspects, perhaps even with the help of the Matrix, it would be difficult for him to become a First-leveI Spell Caster in three years.
After all, Merlin's ultimate goal was not just to be a general Three-Elemental Spell Caster but a much stronger and powerful Spell Caster of Four-, Five-, Six- or even Seven-Elemental. In other words, he would need so much more of Mind Power in comparison to a general Three-Elemental Spell Caster.
…
Half a year later, Merlin finally stepped out of the Wizard Tower. During these six months, Merlin spent most of his time cultivating Mind Meditation Spell.
The outcome of this intermediate-level Mind Meditation Spell was indeed satisfying. In just half a year, Merlin felt his Mind Power had increased several folds. His current release of Fireball was almost at an instantaneous firing speed.
At the lift of a hand, his powerful Mind Power could immediately release dozens of Fireballs, which was terribly intimidating. This was the reason why Merilung dreaded the black-robed old man.
Even if the black-robed old man had no other tricks, he was able to speed up his release of Fireball to the optimum which posed a large destructive threat with only his powerful Mind Power.
Right now, after practicing intermediate-level Mind Meditation Spell for half a year, Merlin's strength was almost on par to that of the black-robed old man. Therefore, with just the expansion of his Mind Power, his capability was already greatly improved even if Merlin had not constructed a new Spell Model throughout this time.
"Finally, it's time that my Mind Power can support the construction of my first First-level spell! However, my goal is far beyond becoming a Three-Elemental Wizard!"
A determined look washed over Merlin's face, and without hesitation, he left Wizard Leo's tower and headed toward the Resource Tower.
