Swoosh!

Merlin left the ring space with a contemplative expression.

“It seems that it’s necessary for us to find more elemental crystal stones or other power sources as soon as possible!”

Merlin wanted to repair the warship at the earliest opportunity. It was going to be used not only to manufacture robots though. No matter how strong robots were, they were at best only comparable to ordinary Legends, so they were not very helpful to Merlin at the moment.

What really moved Merlin was the warship itself. It was an Atlan civilization empire-level warship, a terrifying warship comparable to Great Honored Legends. There were definitely weapons on it that even Honored Legends would be afraid of.

That was Merlin’s objective. If the warship could be repaired, it would be equivalent to obtaining a trump card. It would be enough to protect him in either the Glorious Land and the Void Zone.

Merlin decided to go look for the royal family a few days before the arrival of the Holy Light Empire. He had long since heard that the royal family had a huge elemental crystal stone lode. It would definitely be rich after so many years of accumulation.

Merlin left the castle right away and flew toward the palace at the thought.

Crash!

The three-headed dragon had landed smoothly in front of the palace. The several guards in front of the palace rushed forward to greet them. They were more than familiar with the three-headed dragon now that it had been here for a few days, so they were no longer afraid of it anymore.

“Honorable Wizard Merlin, what are your orders?”

These guards also knew about Merlin’s extraordinary identity and position. Not even the king could be compared to him in the Spell Caster world. Therefore, a trace of reverence could be detected from his voice.

“I’m looking for His Majesty Bhutto XVII!”

Bhutto XVII was the eighth prince. The guards did not dare to stop him, so they hurriedly welcomed Merlin to a large hall and went ahead to report to the prince.

Before long, the eighth prince had made his way into the hall. It was natural for him to be surprised by Merlin’s presence. He asked, “Wizard Merlin, weren’t you preparing for the battle with the Holy Light Empire that’s happening in a few days?”

Merlin nodded and said, “Yes, but in the midst of my preparation, I realized that I was missing something.”

The eighth prince laughed and waved his hand. “What are you lacking? The royal family will definitely support you as long as we can manage it!”

He was certain that Merlin was here this time to ask for something. However, the eighth prince did not mind it as long as it could help in defeating the Holy Light Empire and drive them out of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. He was willing to pay any price regardless of how high it would be.

“It’s very simple. I need elemental crystal stones!” Merlin said bluntly.

“Elemental crystal stones?”

The eighth prince did not expect Merlin’s request to be so simple. He burst out laughing. “Haha, I’ll prepare one million elemental crystal stones for Wizard Merlin right away!”

The eighth prince agreed to give one million elemental crystal stones to Merlin. This was definitely a big deal. The Seven Major Spell Caster organizations of the northern Spell Caster world were far poorer than the Kingdom of Blackmoon in terms of wealth.

“One million elemental crystal stones? That’s indeed a lot, but it’s far from enough. I need a large number of elemental crystal stones!”

Merlin was unmoved. A mere one million elemental crystal stones would not be enough to repair the warship. At best, it would only contribute to one percent of the warship’s energy source. What use was that?

“Not enough?”

The eighth prince frowned. He gritted his teeth and said, “Five million elemental crystal stones!”

“Not enough!”

Merlin still shook his head.

“Ten million elemental crystal stones!”

The eighth prince said again. The royal family was really extravagant. Only twenty million elemental crystal stones had been collected back when Merlin gathered the northern Spell Caster organizations and Ozmu.

Of course, they did not take out all of their elemental crystal stones, but judging from how casually the eighth prince was at giving away ten million elemental crystal stones, it was telling that just how deep the foundation of the royal family was.

“Still not enough. It’s still far from enough!”

Merlin shook his head. Ten million elemental crystal stones were equivalent to ten percent of energy for the warship. It might be able to manufacture a superior robot, but it was far from enough to repair an empire-level warship.

“What? It’s still not enough?”

The expression on the eighth prince’s face turned unsightly. Ten million elemental crystal stones was an astronomical amount in the Glorious Land, but Merlin still said that it was not enough.

After a pause, the eighth prince suddenly asked lowly, “Wizard Merlin, may I ask just how many elemental crystal stones you need? Are you sure that you’ll be able to deal with the Holy Light Empire?”

Now, the Blackmoon royal family’s greatest enemy was the Holy Light Empire. Everything the royal family had was built on being able to rule all of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. If the Holy Light Empire marched inside and occupied the Kingdom of Blackmoon, the royal family would have no foundation to its influence and become useless.

Therefore, the royal family was willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the Holy Light Empire.

Merlin hesitated for a moment before saying in a confident manner, “If there are enough elemental crystal stones, I can guarantee that no matter what the Holy Light Empire does, I would be able to defeat and even destroy them entirely! When the time comes, a vast region of the Holy Light Empire could become a part of the Kingdom of Blackmoon!”

The prince heard Merlin’s convicted answer and the scenario he described in the end about completing destroying the Holy Light Empire. Was it actually possible for the Kingdom of Blackmoon to occupy the Holy Light Empire?

It would be the first time since the collapse of the Molta Empire that the entire world was unified. The ambitious side of the eighth prince, which had long been abandoned, swelled up again the moment he arrived at the thought.

For so many years, the eighth prince had worked hard in governing the Kingdom of Blackmoon in an orderly way. Their national strength was constantly rising. What purpose would that be if not for the hope that he could rebuild the Molta Empire one day?

Perhaps by then, it would be called the Blackmoon Empire!

Merlin let out a small smile when he saw the changes in the eighth prince’s expression. He already knew about the ambitious side of the eighth prince when he first met him.

He was definitely an aggressive and ambitious person. His ambitious side did not disappear even at the most dangerous moment. If the Holy Light Empire could be defeated, Merlin would not care who ruled over the entire world. He would naturally leave the Glorious Land when the time came. As long as the Glorious Land was still in the hands of Spell Casters, that would be enough for him.

“Wizard Merlin, are you speaking the truth? If we’ve really defeated the Holy Light Empire one day, will you actually support the Kingdom of Blackmoon?”

“Of course I will. Just like the Molta Empire three thousand years ago, my goal is to defeat the Holy Light Empire. I won’t interfere with whatever the Kingdom of Blackmoon decided to do after that!”

Merlin’s words were very straightforward and had gotten the eighth prince excited right away.

“Alright. Although I don’t know how many elemental crystal stones you need, the royal family will definitely do everything they can! Wizard Merlin, please come with me!”

The eighth prince stood up and seemed to have already made up his mind. He brought Merlin into the inner chamber.
