My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 252 - Improving The Spring Of Life

Chapter 252: Improving The Spring Of Life

Watson concluded his training at six in the evening and proceeded to the Mage Guild in Monte Town with his family.

After Monte Town’s integration with Mount Creation, Watson converted it into a platinum-tier building, the same as Torch Town. It possessed the power to develop crops and enhance them to silver-tier status rapidly. As a result, Monte Town was the primary location for medicinal herbs cultivation in Mount Creation.

When they walked into Monte Town, a fruity smell wafted, combined with the scent of leaves. There were lush trees and fruits all around them; the tree’s branches went all the way forth when they changed into vines that twined around Monte Town’s platinum-colored wall.

In reality, the branches of those trees went all the way forth. At that time, they changed into vines that twined around the platinum-colored walls of Monte Town. There were also fruits on the wall, which gave it a natural vibe.

“This is Monte Town; this is the first time I’ve seen a town outside of Blackmoon Town. It looks quite remarkable.” Watson’s seventh sister, Scarlet, fiddled with a platinum-colored longbow in her hands. At times, she would pull the bowstring. At other times, she would aim it at the sky. Her face was filled with joy.

That longbow was her new toy. Watson had already fashioned her a silver-tier longbow, but the forging standards of the various towns had improved as a result of their fusion with Mount Creation. Thus, Watson had made her another platinum-tier longbow.

“Actually, Monte Town was not always like this. It used to be a hundred times worse than it is now. This is all possible because of Watson.”

Zeke sighed; he was overcome by emotion. Zenoah and Peter had similar expressions on their faces as they gazed reverently at the settlement in front of them.

Even though they had spent two months on Mount Creation, they were still surprised by the scenery in front of them. Who would have thought that Watson would uproot the entire border and fused it with Blackmoon Town? When they first learned about that, they were so scared that they could not even eat. They also had nightmares when they slept at night.

Fortunately, they got used to it after some time. Furthermore, they discovered a way to avoid being scared—they did not consider Watson a human being. As long as they did not treat Watson as a human, they would not be surprised.

“I have been working out at home. It is not a terrible idea to go out once in a while.” Vincent, the eldest brother, and Nindy, the second sister, were also staring at their surroundings.

As the two oldest children in the family, their childishness had long faded from their faces, especially Nindy. She was already a water-elemental mage at the peak of the gold tier. She was not far from the platinum-tier, and her every move was accompanied by a wave-like voice.

“Watson led his companions to an ancient city brimming with life. That city was once the home of a long-lost ancient dynasty, and mighty guardians guarded it. What serendipitous interactions will he encounter there?”

Margaret, the sixth sister, wielded the Pen of Truth and scribbled those words on a stack of gleaming gold-tier goatskin parchment. She let go of her palm after she finished her scribbles. The Pen of Truth flew into the air and began writing in blazing red letters.

[Watson will uncover the enigmatic Spring of Life at the town’s historic banquet. He will utilize his great strength to break the spring’s curse and gain the ability to live eternally.]

“Not bad; that is the tale I am looking for.”

Margaret nodded in approval, leaving Watson stunned. Was her sister so liberated after getting the Pen of Truth? She did not even write anymore.

The Pen of Truth flew in front of Watson as he was complaining. The pen’s shaft was bent, and it nodded and bowed as if it were a human. [Great Master, I have not seen you in a long time. I just utilize my ability to alter reality to predict the event when you enter that town. Am I right, Master?]

“Right, my foot,” he said.

Watson did not know whether he should laugh or cry as he detected that familiar cheap stench.

He had been quite active daily as he fused Mount Creation. Furthermore, he had given the Pen of Truth to his sixth sister as a quill pen, so he was unconcerned. He had not expected that the Pen of Truth had grown bolder; he had not seen it for two months. It even dared to speak without his approval.

He was not sure if it was because the pen had been with Margaret for so long that it had developed a nasty habit. His original plan was for the two to restrain each other and halt for a while. Unfortunately, the Pen of Truth and his sixth sister seemed to have gotten worse.

“Husband, this is my first time attending a nobleman’s banquet. I had hoped to attend a similar event for a long time now.”

Catherine grasped Edward’s hand nervously as she tidied her earrings and necklace. She was not used to walking in her diamond high heels.

Nothing was more laudable in the eyes of the nobles than a good supper. Many nobility in the kingdom insisted on holding a feast even though their families were poor. They would even borrow money to decorate the banquet. That might have sounded unbelievable in modern civilization, but it was fairly common in that environment, which was similar to the Middle Ages.

A banquet had many rules—what to do at each period, how much cutlery to use, and even how many dishes one would need for the feast. Catherine wanted to organize a banquet when her family was still struggling, but they were so impoverished that they could not even afford meat. She could not even make a few dishes if she had borrowed the money for the feast. Furthermore, there were a few manor owners and farmers near the territory, so hosting a dinner for the aristocrats made no sense. Catherine had no choice but to abandon the idea.

“My dear Catherine, don’t worry. This is just the beginning. If you want, I can take you to a banquet every day, or we can try to hold it ourselves! Lord Sylvan and Master Antonio are also here now. If we can invite them to the feast, I guarantee that no other noble can compete with us.” Edward remarked solemnly as he stroked Catherine’s arm gently.

Ever since Watson had fused Mount Creation, Edward had no time to be intimate with Catherine. They had to host different mayors and manor owners. The entire border had been integrated with Blackmoon Town. Even though the border count’s mansion was right across from Blackmoon Castle, Edward had never dreamed of being neighbors with a platinum-tier elite or having more than a million people under his command.

Catherine and Edward had gained weight rapidly as they could not let their visitors leave empty-handed. They had wanted to lose some weight, but the presents that their visitors brought with them were simply too good for them to decline, especially a Monte Town supper. Edward heard that the North Wind mercenary gang had even given up on their wishes to transform regular magical beast meat into dragon and phoenix meat.

He had never eaten a legendary magical beast; he did not know how it would taste. However, he drooled when he thought about that.

It was strange. His cultivation had been destroyed many years ago; he could no longer cultivate. However, it seemed like his strength had inexplicably returned to the peak of the gold tier for the past two months. It seemed like he could get stronger even if he only ate, drank, and was serviced by servants all day long. It was simply a blissful life.

“Young Master Watson, Lords of Blackmoon Town. I am a waiter at this banquet organized by the Mage Guild. Please, follow me.”

As soon as Watson and the others reached the town, a young girl dressed in a mage’s robe approached them and greeted them warmly.

The mage’s robe that the young girl wore was gold-tier, and her body also emitted a gold-tier aura. She appeared 15 or 16 years old; if she were anywhere else in the kingdom, they would praise her for attaining the gold tier at her age. However, it was a pretty common occurrence on Mount Creation.

Even farmers and children could be gold-tier fighters with more than one form of combat aura. Plus, gold-tier mages were equivalent to nothing.

The young mage finally led the group to the Mage Guild in Monte Town.

That was Watson’s first time there. The Mage Guild had four floors; it was shaped like a tall tower, and the lower they went, the more spacious it became. The outer walls were platinum-colored, and they were smooth like a mirror. There were also mysterious runes carved on them. A statue in the shape of a magic staff stood at the top of the tower—it had a solemn aura.

After they entered the guild, they saw a completely different scene.

The walls that were used to post bounty missions had been torn off and replaced with colorful silk. The round tables and chairs meant for registration had also been taken away. A huge space in the middle of the room was reserved as a dance floor, and the banquet tables had all kinds of gold-tiered plates. Inside, there was a high-tiered dish of meat and fruit.

The candlesticks on the dining table were gold-tier as well; it made it seemed as if the light would burn forever. The ceiling above their heads was inlaid with magical stones that shone like diamonds as they cast different rays of light that illuminated the entire hall.

“I am Anna, the Mage Guild President. I am very honored that you have agreed to come as guests, Lords of Blackmoon Town! Please allow me to introduce you. Besides our guild members, we also have Lord Gerant, city hall officials, and some mercenary group leaders.”

Anna, in a meticulous gorgeous long dress, turned around when she mentioned the mercenary group. Ron stood behind her; he was in a snow-white suit, and his messy hair was smeared with oil. He grinned at Watson and his siblings as he laughed boorishly.

“I am Ron, the current leader of the mercenary group, and I am here to greet everyone from Blackmoon Town. I have prepared some high-quality dragon and Phoenix meat. The meat of these two rare magical beasts can strengthen your body and enhance your facial features. It can also improve one’s abilities in that area.”

Edward was immediately interested when he heard that; he laughed. “Is that true? Quickly, bring me some.”

However, Catherine pinched him before he could take a step forward. Then, she rolled her eyes. “You only have that in your mind every day. Can’t you behave like a noble?”

Anna took the opportunity to push Ron away. “Lady Catherine is right. The dragon meat that Ron prepared is nothing at all. The gifts that I’ve arranged for all of you are even more precious.”

She waved her hand. Soon, two mages brought forth a transparent bottle containing an emerald green liquid. The bottle emitted cold air. It was obviously some kind of magical product. The emerald green liquid in the bottle made it look even more magical; it was like an emerald lake that reflected the starlight. The faint singing of elves and the low moans of fairies attracted everyone’s attention in an instant.

Anna looked pleased with everyone’s reaction.

“This is a small bottle of water from the Spring of Life. The Mage Guild combined our forces with Master Antonio to get this for you.

“The Spring of Life is also known as the water of eternal life. Just a drop of the liquid can grant one eternal life. The time on Mount Creation is ten times faster than the outside world; it is both good and bad. Good because we can do more, but bad because we will age faster.

So, I thought of the Spring of Life. With this, we will never need to be afraid of old age. I would like to offer this to Blackmoon Town for all that you have done for me.”

“Thank you, President Anna.”

Edward, Catherine, and their children sighed. Then, they held their breaths. Only Watson looked at the Spring of Life calmly; he knew that the water had some side effects. So, if he wanted to give it to everyone, then he would have to fuse and improve it first.
