“Master, we’ve captured the two youths and found more than a hundred catties of rice and flour, dozens of catties of pork, mutton, and beef, a hundred and fifty gold coins, and most importantly, more than ninety Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs!”
A farmer respectfully knelt in front of miles and licked his lips as he spoke.
More than 90 Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs.
He had just bought one with a few of his fellow farmers and had only taken a bite to taste it. With that alone he could feel his body turn warm and his strength increase by at least ten pounds.
If a fraction of an egg had such an effect, the farmer did not even dare to think more if he ate even more eggs.
If he had known that these swindlers had that many eggs, he would not have spent all the money earlier. Fortunately, Master Miles was wise and smart. He saw through the tricks of these two little swindlers and captured them, so the money he spent would naturally be returned.
With this thought in mind, the farmer carefully sized up Miles who was sitting on the tall chair. He found that Miles was holding his face with the back of his hand, and his eyes were drifting somewhere. “Master? Master Miles?”
Miles came back to his senses after being called out. “Find someone to move these things into the manor later. Don’t tell anyone that we have captured these two children! As a secret reward, I will give the person who did it just now one Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken egg.”
“Thank you so much, Master. I’ve been wanting to taste the complete egg for a long time.”
The farmer was extremely excited.
Miles frowned. “What are you thinking about? What I meant was to share one egg with you!”
The farmer did not dare to say anything even though he was secretly criticizing the Master for being stingy.
“These two kids are dressed in shabby clothes. One look and you can tell that they’re not from rich families. They even lied about going to Monte Town. They’re all lies. Hehe! Interrogate them properly. As long as you find out that these two people don’t have a strong background, the money will belong to our farm.”
As Miles spoke, his expression became increasingly excited. “To be able to get more than ninety eggs is definitely not a coincidence. Perhaps they have clues about the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken.”
Although Miles was happy to get more than a hundred gold coins, it was not as important as the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken. The Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken was only available to the great nobles, and the location must be heavily guarded. These two kids might be able to steal two or three eggs from it, but 90 was impossible, unless they were raising the fowl itself or they knew where the beast was.
Miles’ breathing became heavy when he thought about how his farm could get such a precious gold-tier magical beast.
“Master Miles, how should we interrogate them?”
“As long as you don’t kill them, you can interrogate them however you want.”
Miles waved his hand and had a fierce smile.
He was not a cruel person, but for the sake of a bright future, he could only let those two people named Zeke and Zenoah suffer.
..
Three days had passed since Zeke and Zenoah left.
During those three days, Watson had learned two Iron-tier water element spells from the magic book. One of them was called Water Fairy Summon, which could summon a fist-sized water fairy to help scout the way and sense danger.
The other spell was called Water Shield, which used magical power to form a shield that was half the size of a person, blocking the attacks of Iron-tier individuals.
At this moment, Watson stood in the farm and gently waved his hand. A small fish-shaped fairy made of sky-blue water nimbly circled around his neck. Its wiggled its tail and sprinkled water droplets everywhere.
In his right hand, he held a solid shield that was also sky-blue. Water swirled on it, forming a vortex.
Clapping his hands, the shield in Watson’s hand disappeared along with the water elf. He sighed and said, “That basic magic theory only records four Iron-tier spells. There are a few other spells with different attributes, but I can’t learn them either.”
One could only learn corresponding spells if one possessed a specific elemental talent. Therefore, he could only learn water-element spells. Moreover, there was only one basic theory of magic in his family’s magic book. However, he was fortunate to have the Super Fusion System.
“Let me see what these two Iron-tier spells can merge into. System, initiate fusion.”
[Master has successfully merged the Iron-tier spells, Water Fairy Summon and Water Shield, into a Bronze-tier spell: Water Fairy Group Summon!]
[Bronze-tier spell: Water Fairy Group Summon]
[Effect: Summons Water Fairies ranging from one to a hundred. Each of them has the Iron-tier combat power. They can explore an area of a thousand meters, and can also be merged into magic weapons such as knives, swords, shields, axes, and so on, causing great damage.]
Upon successful fusion, the specific contents of the spell appeared in Watson’s mind.
Unlike the two Iron-tier spells that he had learned after three days of hard work, the spells that were produced by the system fusion did not require him to study. They had already been refined to reach their peak.
Watson could not help but open his hands and cast the spell that he had just fused, Water Fairy Group Summon. A blue fish that looked the same as before floated beside him. Then, the number of blue fish increased and became a hundred, spanning ten meters all around Watson.
It was daytime, but the faint blue light shone on the place as though he was in the deep sea.
Watson waved his hand again, and the 100 water elves merged to turn into a blue river. It flew into the sky and transformed into a huge fist that was more than ten meters long. He swung the fist fiercely in the air, producing a whistling sound, as well as bearing at least a few thousand pounds of strength. Then, the fist loosened and turned into a palm, slamming hard on the ground.
Boom!
Cracks that were several meters long appeared on the earth. Watson’s body rose up as well. The palm turned into a giant sword and an axe, destroying the ground with wild abandon.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
The Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken, which was strolling in the chicken farm, let out a puzzled cry and avoided Watson from a distance. It did not know what its master was thinking.
“No wonder mages are known to have the strongest attack power of all classes.”
After wreaking havoc for a few minutes and staring at the half-destroyed ground, Watson’s body shook, and a sense of weakness came from his soul.
Ordinary Bronze-tier warriors could kill people from ten meters away, but that was using movement techniques and sword skills. Being able to kill a few people at one time was already good enough, but it paled it comparison to the enjoyment of killing someone using a 40-meter-long machete. When the Water Fairies’ magic weapon smashed down, a great number of people would have died.
“I can already be considered a Bronze-tier mage now, but this still isn’t enough. I wonder what effect it wil have when I combine the two Bronze-tier spells I have now?”
Watson rubbed his chin and pondered.
He was considered strong among Bronze-tier mages after mastering two Bronze-tier spells, but it was still not enough. A few days ago, Wesley came to rob their chicken, and in a few days, it might be Liszt who came. It was important that he became stronger.
Before he could continue fusing, his brother’s voice suddenly sounded.
“What have you been doing, Watson? Father asked me to see if there was an earthquake.”
His brother, Vincent, stood helplessly ten meters away and stared at the messy farm. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had been taking care of the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken for the past few days. He knew that his brother was experimenting with magic, but what kind of magic was so powerful that it could cause an earthquake-like noise?
“Big Brother, I’m studying Iron-tier magic. I don’t know how I made such a big noise.” Watson scratched his head shyly.
Vincent had a strange look on his face. Watson was taking him for a fool. Who would believe that it was merely Iron-tier magic?
Taking a deep breath, Vincent walked to Watson’s side and pressed his brother’s shoulder, “Watson, there are some things I didn’t want to say before, but I have to say them now. Where did you learn magic? And where did this Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken come from? Tell me the truth!”
