《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
The Glorious Palace was so sprawling that Merlin and Wizard Dara had to fly more than half an hour to arrive at their destination, the Glorious Pavilion!
However, the Glorious Pavilion did not appear to be like what Merlin had imagined. In his mind, he imagined that it would be guarded by some Great Wizards. Instead, there were only two puppets guarding it.
Nevertheless, the auras on these puppets were never seen before. They far exceeded any Seventh-, Eighth- or even Ninth-level Spell Casters because Merlin could sense a faint trace of aura of the Maxim on these two puppets.
This meant that the puppets had not only been transfigured by Wizard Mogan himself but also transfigured using the power of Maxims. Thus, the puppet's abilities were strengthened dramatically.
For an ordinary puppet, achieving the level of a Seventh-level Spell Caster was already almost the highest limit. Back in the auction hosted by Wizard Dara, a Puppet Transfiguration Method that could produce a puppet equivalent to an Eighth-level Spell Caster was sold at a sky-high price simply because it was so rare to find a puppet that exceeded the Seventh-level.
However, these two puppets had defied that limit many times over. Even a Ninth-level Spell Caster might not be a strong enough opponent for these two puppets. In addition, while these two puppets exceeded ordinary limitations, there would not be many of them. After all, transfiguring them would require the power of Maxims, and only the Great Legendary Wizards would possess such ability.
Judging by the tight formation of liquid-state puppets outside the Glorious Palace as well as these powerful puppets that were comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster, Great Wizard Mogan must be highly skilled in puppet transfiguration.
"Wear the nameplate. There's no one guarding this place but if you approach the Glorious Pavilion without a nameplate, it'll immediately cause these two puppets to react hostilely, and might even kill you."
Wizard Dara reminded in a cautious manner, obviously wary toward the two puppets.
Merlin nodded and held the nameplate in his hands. Together, they slowly approached the Glorious Pavilion. The two puppets stirred slightly, and their empty sockets swept across the two men. It seemed like they had sensed the nameplate, so they did not attack. Instead, the puppet produced two sets of contracts. In a stoic tone, it said, "Sign this contract to not disclose anything inside the Glorious Pavilion to anyone!"
Merlin and Wizard Dara exchanged a look. Wizard Dara looked unsurprised. Understandably, he must have signed the same contract before entering the Glorious Pavilion the last time. After all, the Glorious Pavilion was one of the important components of the Glorious Palace. Therefore, signing a contract was an effective method to ensure that people did not arbitrarily disclose any knowledge that they obtained inside the Glorious Pavilion.
"Just sign it. You can only enter the Glorious Pavilion if you sign it."

Wizard Dara was the first to sign the contract. Subsequently, Merlin, too, signed the contract.
After signing the contract, the two puppets collected the contracts and stood motionless by the door. Merlin and Wizard Dara came to the door and raised their nameplates. A faint glow shimmered from the nameplates and fused into the door. Then, the door slowly swung open and revealed a pitch-black room.
"Hurry up, we only have one day!"
Wizard Dara was already familiar with this place. He led Merlin directly into the Glorious Pavilion. With the nameplate, Merlin was able to walk around the Glorious Palace unimpeded.
Once the door opened, a dazzling light filled the Glorious Pavilion and lit up the room. Rows upon rows of quaint bookshelves lined inside. There was not a speck of dust on them so someone must clean these shelves quite often.
The large collection of books stunned even Merlin. When he was in the Dark Magic Region, he had entered the Resources Tower but he had never seen so many books. In fact, even the Spell Library owned by the royal family of the Blackmoon Kingdom was far from comparable to the book collection here.
While Merlin was still recovering from shock, Wizard Dara had already picked a specific direction and sprinted toward the innermost shelf. This time, he had come prepared with a goal in mind. Therefore, upon entering the Glorious Pavilion, he did not waste a single moment and went straight to his intended target.
Nevertheless, Wizard Dara still gave Merlin a reminder. "Wizard Merlin, you must seize your time. We only have one day to be here. The Glorious Pavilion is too big, and its collection is too massive. If you have to browse, then make sure you browse with a specific purpose in mind. Otherwise, you'll just waste your time. Here, you can find anything ranging from spells, alchemy, Wizard's discoveries, notes, et cetera. All the bookshelves are labeled at the top."
Wizard Dara concluded. Then, he no longer paid Merlin any attention and rushed off toward his goal.
Merlin also did not ask any further. He began to stroll along the Glorious Pavilion and searched carefully. His most important goal for coming to the Glorious Pavilion this time was to search the usage of dimension coordinates. This was because Merlin had the dimension coordinates but did not know how to use them.
This was like in his previous life where there was a clear geographical location. As long as he knew the longitude and latitude, it was possible to accurately locate a place. In other words, these represented the coordinates. Nevertheless, for someone who did not understand longitudes and latitudes, what use was it to know the coordinates?
Currently, Merlin only had the dimension coordinates but did not know how to use it.
Dimension coordinates should be relatively secretive and did not have its own classification. Merlin offhandedly glanced through the spells in the Glorious Pavilion. Although there were some outstanding Spell Models including Seventh-level and above that could be imitated, they were naturally not very useful to Merlin.

Since Merlin had derived new spells using the Matrix, these spells were quite useless for him to imitate.
As for alchemy and runology literature, those were even less meaningful to Merlin. Only the potions section with rare potion formulas and potions to increase Mind Power was highly meaningful to Merlin. Though he had managed to produce the Mind Heart, the growth of his Mind Power became even slower than before. If he fully exhausted the divinity that he had just obtained, then his Mind Power growth in the future would be reliant on potions.
The potion formulas available on the shelves were truly too many. Merlin randomly flipped through a few volumes and found a few formulas that could increase Mind Power. However, he was disappointed to find that these Mind Power potions formulas could only significantly affect Mind Powers that were below the Seventh-level.
As for Mind Powers above the Seventh-level, there seemed to be almost no effect. After the Mind Powers produced the Mind Heart, they would undergo a fundamental transformation, thus it would be difficult for ordinary potions to increase the Mind Power any further.
Some Seventh-level Spell Casters spent a long time, up to a few decades in order to increase their Mind Powers to become Eighth-level Spell Casters. Even the shortest period would be more than ten years.
However, since Merlin became a Spell Caster until now, it had been less than a decade.
Perhaps, there were some potion formulas that would be effective on the Seventh-level and above Mind Powers, but Merlin did not have the luxury of time to search them carefully. There were too many potion formulas in this place, so searching through every single one would take a few days at least.
After a cursory glance, Merlin finally came to the shelf with the notes of Wizards' discoveries.
The items placed on this shelf was all over the place. There were not only notes but also some travel journals of Spell Casters to some locations. Merlin's heart skipped a beat. If he wanted to know more about the dimension coordinates, he probably had to look through this "mess".
Merlin randomly picked up a set of notes. It was a compilation of travel notes from a Ninth-level Spell Caster. Some of the annotations were truly eye-opening and gave a sense of acquiring new knowledge.
However, this was not what Merlin needed. What he needed was the travel notes of Wizards who had left this dimension and traversed the Void Zone. Such notes were not plentiful because even in the Glorious Palace, the number of Great Wizards was relatively few.
Only the Great Wizards were able to leave this dimension and traverse the Void Zone.
Merlin picked up an exquisitely bound notebook. On the cover was some annotations to state that it was the notes of a Great Wizard named Kedota who had traveled to a few dimensions.
Seeing this, Merlin's heart sped up and hurriedly opened the notebook. In the beginning, it recorded that Kedota had overcome many odds to become a Great Wizard, and spent a hundred years in the Glorious Palace until he realized that he had reached a bottleneck. When he felt that he no longer had any use in the Glorious Palace, he decided to leave the dimension.
After leaving the dimension, he traversed the Void Zone for many years until he finally reached a prosperous dimension. It was also a prosperous Spell Caster civilization but there he encountered some danger and barely escaped the dimension.
Thereafter, Wizard Kedota continued to travel and experience a few dimensions. Everything that he saw and heard was eye-opening to Merlin. This was what Merlin wanted. Unfortunately, there were no annotations made about dimension coordinates.
Even Kedota seemed to go with the flow, rather than being concerned with dimension coordinates.
"It's impossible that Wizard Kedota doesn't know about the dimension coordinates. Otherwise, how did he leave this dimension and come back?"
In his heart, Merlin knew that perhaps dimension coordinates were basic common knowledge but it was this kind of basic common knowledge that Merlin was currently lacking.
So, Merlin began to search frantically through the shelf. He combed through the Wizard notes of Great Wizards who had traversed the Void Zone, especially those who visited other dimensions.
Unfortunately, the notes mostly encompassed some introduction about the Void Zone and the foreign dimensions they visited. There were no mentions about dimension coordinates. Merlin spent more than half a day searching through the notes of Great Wizards.
"Nothing. None of them mentioned dimension coordinates. Could it be that I can't find it in the Glorious Pavilion?"
Merlin frowned and glanced toward Wizard Dara. The latter had disappeared to some unknown place.
"If I can't find the dimension coordinates in the Glorious Pavilion, then I'm afraid I'd have to stay here for a while and watch out for other so-called 'Wizards from beyond the heavens'."
Although Merlin was very disappointed, he did not give up hope because he could still find other Spell Casters from beyond the heavens. It was very difficult but not completely hopeless. However, he might have to wait for a long time.
Since he could not find any knowledge about dimension coordinates, in the remaining half a day, Merlin began to walk around the Glorious Pavilion. In any case, he made it to the Glorious Pavilion, so he did not want to leave empty-handed.
