My Magical System

Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Spell Catalyst

“About that, my lord. Although I have the catalyst for magical energy, I lack a catalyst for the spell,” Elder Dark Priest said despondently. “If I have only like that, I am positive that I will succeed.”

Eman noticed the blazing confidence in the Dark Priest’s hollowed eyes when he said it.

“I see,” he said as he touched his chin. Looking at his actions, he must be pondering. ‘A spell catalyst, huh. Maybe there are some in the market. An artifact that can be inscribed with magic spells, like talismans or amulets...”

As he was deep in thought, Little Sky and the Elder Dark Priest were looking at him in silence, trying not to disturb him.

A moment later, ‘Right!’ He seemed to remember something. It was also one of the reasons that he came here.

“Oh, right. I have something I needed your help with,” he was looking at the elder as he spoke it.

“R-really, my lord? Then, I am grateful to receive another task from my lord.”

.....

The Dark Priest respectfully replied to him.

Eman smiled and slightly nodded. After that, out of thin air, something materialized on his hand.

“?!”

“Eh? What is that, my lord?”

While tilting her head to the side, Little Sky questioned him.

“Fufu. It’s nothing. Just some head of a rampaging beast that I happened to encounter on the road,” he said.

“Eh! A head? That’s so big!” Sky exclaimed. Just the head alone was already the size of a whole cow.

Yet, their lord just lifted it like it was nothing!

Eman just smiled wryly at it.

Right beside Sky, the Elder Dark Priest had gleaming eyes. “Oh, high-ranking lizard.”

Just looking at the size of the head, the elder could guess that it was a high-ranking one.

Suddenly, the Elder Dark Priest noticed something on its forehead. “Eh, what is that crystal on its head, my lord?”

“It’s called Magical Stone. It’s also the reason why I seek your help as it seems that only a high-level spellcaster can dislodge it. I already tried pulling it, but it won’t budge no matter how I force it.”

The Magical Stone twinkled when it was hit by light.

“Not even your monstrous strength can dislodge it? Ah, I see. Let me see what I can do, my lord.”

“Please do.”

After saying it, he tossed the head on the ground.

Thud!

“Then, please excuse me, my lord,” said the Elder Dark Priest as he produced the mythical-tier staff Eman gave him days ago.

He nodded at him.

The Elder Dark Priest walked and stopped in front of the giant lizard’s head.

Eman and Little Sky were attentively spectating.

The staff that the elder was holding in his left hand emitted a greenish magical aura. It was the color of his magical energy.

Then he pointed the red crystal on the staff towards the emerald stone that was on the giant lizard’s head.

“Oh, it’s absorbing the elder’s aura!” Said Sky in amazement.

“Oho-ho ho! My lord, this thing-!”

For some reason, the elder suddenly called in an enthusiastic tone.

“Did you find something?” Eman asked curiously.

“I-I think it can be a good spell catalyst!” The elder exclaimed. He did not stop what he was doing and continued feeding the magical stone with his magical energy.

Eman slightly widened his eyes when he heard it.

“Really?”

He asked in confirmation.

“Yes, my lord. I am 70 percent sure that it can be used as a catalyst!”

With a grin on his face, he replied. “I see. That’s good then.”

After a few minutes of eating the Elder Dark Priest’s magical energy, the magical stone finally went off from the monster’s forehead. It fell to the ground and rolled before it stopped.

The elder took it with glistening eyes. There was a noticeable change in the magical stone after it ate the elder’s magical energy. It was now gleaming.

“Then, I will let you handle it from here on. Tell me if you need something or when it’s done,” Eman said to the elder.

“Yes, my lord.”

“Well then, I wish you success.”

“Thank you very much, my lord.”

He nodded and glanced at the little kid beside him.

“Let’s go, Little Sky.”

“Okay, my lord.”

Eman then left the elder’s domain.

Before going back inside his room in the luxurious hotel in the capital, he went first to his house with Sky. He had to review the reports.

It took him a few minutes to review them all, and another minute for contemplating. All the events that are currently happening in the empire are just too dubious to be a mere coincidence.

Eman had a strong feeling that someone was plotting behind.

Regardless, until the next report from his people came out, he could only wait and see. He wasn’t even related to it. But those who were aware of what was going on around them had the upper hand over those ignorants.

His body materialized inside his room. The current time was 9 p.m. He immediately sent telepathy to Sol.

He learned that Eina was in Sol’s room. It looks like the two of them were telling some stories.

But since it was Sol, she was probably the one who was asking for a story rather than Eina. So, it was Eina who was story-telling.

Around this time,

With a gloomy expression, Zennie was gazing at the starless night sky through the window. She just finished taking a bath, but sleepiness has yet to visit her. She could not fall asleep. Her mind was filled with worries.

She knew that it would be a big disaster for the Rothsport town if she failed to acquire enough medicines.

A sigh escaped from her mouth before she got up from her bed and walked in front of a desk. Then she pulled the drawer under it and took a piece of paper and a quill pen.

She wrote the names of towns and cities nearby. If tomorrow there’s still no supply of medicines in the merchant guild, she would try her luck in the nearby towns.

Knowing that everyone in her town is dying at this very moment, it couldn’t put her at ease. Her mind was being bothered by it.

She wanted to help them.
