"Fireball!"

In the Bell Space, Merlin's Mind Power duplicate extended his finger and immediately, a fireball flew out and exploded.

This spell was no different to any other Fireball. However, Merlin knew that this was just a simulation and it could only exist in the Bell Space. Once out of the Bell Space, there would be no Mind Power duplicate or spells.

"Within the simulation space, Spell Casters could attempt Spell Models without any threats. One could even send in a few Mind Power duplicates to attack each other and test the strength of the spells or Demon Abilities!"

Simulation was the function of the Bell Space!

Perhaps there were more uses, after all, Merlin had only just begun to understand the space. There could be other abilities that he did not know of.

However, the ability to simulate the construction of spells was a very important ability. Many Spell Casters would waste a large portion of their Mind Power to construct spells. Without the simulation, if the spells failed, there would be heavy losses or in the worst case scenario, death.

However, with the Bell Space, there was no need to worry that the construction of the spell would fail. Many different spells could be constructed and simulated in the Bell Space.

This could greatly increase the success rate of spell constructions.

Merlin already had The Matrix to analyze any Spell Model, so he did not need the Bell Space for that purpose. However, the Mind Power duplicate in the Bell Space was able to cultivate Mind Meditation which would gradually strengthen the Mind Power duplicate.

Merlin would then have his Mind Power duplicate re-enter his own Mind Power. This method would rapidly increase his Mind Power as long as the Mind Power duplicate did not collapse.

This was perhaps the least significant use of the Bell Space, but in Merlin's opinion, the ability to increase Mind Power was considered important. He could send a portion of his Mind Power into the Bell Space to meditate uninterruptedly and increase his Mind Power.

This would have a more significant effect than the potions he consumed.

"Spells can be simulated, what about Demon Abilities?"

Merlin thought about his biggest strength, the Pandora Demon Abilities.

Hence, he began to simulate the hundred years' ice bone marrow and used it to cultivate Glacial Finger. The simulation went smoothly, and he was able to successfully cultivate Glacial Finger.

However, as Merlin thought about cultivating the second stage of Glacial Finger, he realized there was no way to simulate the required treasure for the second stage. Although he knew its name, Merlin had never come in contact with the treasure and therefore the Bell Space could not simulate it.

This meant that there were limitations to the simulations within the Bell Space. For example, objects that Spell Casters themselves had not encountered could not be simulated.

Also, simulations of spells and Demon Abilities that can withstand the extremities of the space would not be able to be simulated again. The space must have had some extremities, Merlin had just not encountered them yet.

Despite there being many different limitations, at the end of the day, Merlin would be able to allow his Mind Power duplicate to cultivate relentlessly and increase his Mind Power. This was more helpful to Merlin than any other casting tool.

Merlin pondered about this for a while then activated his Mind Power and sent a tenth of his Mind Power into the Bell Space, where his Mind Power duplicate formed.

His Mind Power duplicate began to cultivate Merlin's high-level Mind Meditation Spell, and it was really working. In the Bell Space, as his Mind Power duplicate grew stronger the more Mind Power would be required to continue cultivating the high-level Mind Meditation spell.

Of course, Merlin already possessed incredible Mind Power and even if his Mind Power duplicate unceasingly cultivated the high-level Mind Meditation Spell, his Mind Power would not double instantly. It would take a long time of accumulation until his Mind Power would increase significantly.

There was a threshold and a large gap between a Third and Fourth-level Mind Power. That is why Merlin's Dark Light Realm was able to delude the Third-level Spell Casters, but the Fourth-level Spell Casters did not fall under the illusion.

Merlin was not in a hurry to strengthen his Mind Power as it would require a significant amount of time spent accumulating. Hence, he remained in his room, took out the ingredients for Phantasmal Magic Potion that he retrieved from Sterling House and began to prepare the potion.

The Phantasmal Magic Potion Merlin had prepared before only had a success rate of thirty percent. Now, he was more familiar with preparing the potion and the success rate had increased to forty percent.

Although there was only a ten percent increase in success rate, it was considerably higher than before. He had received forty portions of potion ingredients from Sterling House. He spent many days in the Delman clan preparing the potion and had used up all the ingredients. In the end, he prepared a total of sixteen portions of Phantasmal Magic Potion.

Sixteen portions of the potion would be enough to last Merlin a long time. He also had the Bell Space now and his Mind Power duplicate was relentlessly cultivating the Mind Meditation Spell. By the time he consumed all the potions, perhaps his Mind Power would have increased enough for him to construct a Second-level spell.

Merlin did not want to linger in the Delman clan for much longer. He had left the Dark Magic Region to sort out the issue between him and Riesen and also to look for Laurinka to fulfill his promise. Hence, he decided it was time to take his leave.

Merlin went to look for Elena and said calmly, "Elena, thank you so much for everything! I am afraid I must leave Floating City now."

"You're leaving? Wizard Merlin, are you heading back to the Dark Magic Region? I could accompany you, I have decided to return to the Dark Magic Region to begin constructing a First-level spell."

Elena was just an Entrance-level Spell Caster. She had not been in the Dark Magic Region for long and so it would take about three more years until she could construct a First-level spell. Elena had not become a First-level Spell Caster, so she was sent to the Dark Magic Region, just as Laurinka was.

Merlin saw the anticipation in Elena's eyes, he shook his head and said, "There is no need, you can head to the Dark Magic Region yourself first. I am not returning just yet. Ah yes, do you know where Tolle City is?"

Merlin recalled Laurinka mentioning that her clan was in Tolle City. However, Merlin had been in Floating City for so long, he did not know where Tolle City was.

"Tolle City? You want to go there?"

Elena asked with a hint suspicion.

"Yes, I do."

Merlin nodded as Elena slowly raised her head. Her eyes squinted slightly as she remembered what had happened in Tolle City.

"Tolle City is very far. It is under the jurisdiction of Fire City. In that case, I'll give you a map with a detailed marking of Tolle City."

Elena finished speaking and immediately walked off. She returned shortly after with a map for Merlin.

The map was very large with detailed annotations. The influenced areas of the four Spell Caster organizations: Dark Magic Region, Abyss Fort, Fire City, and the Ashes Region, were all noted clearly.

Merlin noted that the margin of the Dark Magic Region's jurisdiction reached Prakash City. Merlin had come from Prakash City and traveled to Kurdish Mountains where he activated the Runic Magic Circle and finally ended up in the Dark Magic Region.

The map also marked Floating City. It was quite close to Fire City but was not within its zone of influence. This area was isolated and was not within any of the four Spell Caster organization's jurisdiction.

This was likely why Floating City attracted so many roaming Wizards and was termed "Free City".

"Is this your clan's map?"

Merlin whispered. He knew that it was very difficult to obtain a map like this. It had such detailed annotations and even marked the influenced areas of the four Spell Caster organizations. The average Spell Caster could never possess one.

The Delman clan must have spent years and years drawing this map for it to be as detailed as this.

"Yes, the clan spent almost ten years and many different methods on this map. However, this map was drawn from the tip of an iceberg in the Kingdom of Blackmoon. The Kingdom of Blackmoon is huge, so huge that many Spell Casters wouldn't be able to name all the places within it."

"The areas of influence of these Spell Caster organizations were especially hard to draw. The clan was able to find out news about the Dark Magic Region, Abyss Fort, Fire City, and the Ashes Region, news that many medium-scale and even a few large-scale Spell Caster organizations did not know, that is why they could not draw an accurate map."

Elena had briefly introduced the maps' origins and it did not seem easy to draw one like this. A map of this sort was surely very precious to the clan and they would not give it away so easily. Merlin had visited the Sterling House but never saw a map as detailed as this one.

Wizard Matthew must have agreed to let Elena give Merlin the map.

"You're too kind Wizard Elena!"

Merlin was barely courteous, he took the map and quickly studied it. He had heard Elena mention that Tolle City was within the jurisdiction of Fire City, so he began to search within that area.

Promptly, Merlin had found the position of Tolle City on the map. It was very far from the Dark Magic Region and Floating City.

If he sat in a horse carriage, it would have taken an upwards of about ten days till he would reach Tolle City.

"Tolle City!"

Merlin's mind could not stop thinking of the familiar figure from the Dark Magic Region…
