My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 260: Mastery of Magic

Aur's eyes narrowed when he thought of that terrifying explosion that took one-tenth of the wilderness.

Not even a Tier Four wizard could produce such strength.

At least from what he could see, the attack that the Lord Sky made, the explosion was several hundred times stronger than the one he used at the entrance of the village.

"What could be the reason for that explosion?" Aur had many questions in his head, but no answer to it.

"It might be done by William, but it is impossible for him to be so strong. At that time, he was just a Tier Two wizard; he couldn't even be able to contend against me, so there is no way he could create that, unless some other factor of his came to play."

Aur found these to be plausible.

After all, that William guy had the golden text inside of him, which contained mysterious power, or there might be some other reason.

While thinking of these, he walked out of his mansion and went towards Noah's office.

The guards opened the door with a respectful expression, and Aur swiftly entered the place.

"Why are you here, Elder Aur?" Noah said with a warm smile.

"I want to go to the information pavilion. Is that possible, Village Leader?" Aur directly stated with his hands crossed together.

"Why do you wanna go to the information pavilion?" Noah said, a little surprised.

"I just wanted to learn the history of our village and also broaden my vision."

"Hmm," Noah nodded his head. "Sure, you can go, since you are an Elder and an Alchemist as well. Then you can directly go to the second floor, but remember, the third floor is a restricted area only the village leader can go to."

"Yes, Leader." Aur nodded and was about to walk out.

"Did you hear about the death incident that just happened?" Noah's tone rang in his ears, making him abruptly pause.

Aur turned around and nodded his head. "Yes, Village Leader, I did hear about the tragic death of Alchemist Elmer." Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

"How did you know that I was talking about Elmer?" Noah's piercing eyes looked at him, trying to discern any expression, but was disappointed to not even see a smidgeon of emotion in it.

"Were there also murders?" Aur asked.

"You didn't know that there were other murders happening?" Noah said.

He was a little surprised that although the village had done its best, they couldn't still suppress the news from leaking out, and from an invisible hand, this news was pushed out, making it even more popular in the village.

"No," Aur shook his head. "I only knew of the Alchemist Elmer's death because I overheard it from the servants, and I had no clue."

"It's fine then, what do you think about the death of Elmer?"

Aur's back straightened as he said, "Wasn't it done by a strong fire-type wizard?"

"Yes," Noah nodded his head. "Who do you think did it, and what would they gain by doing it?"

Aur hesitated when he heard these, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "From the battle scenes I have heard from the rumor, the wizard must be a Tier Two wizard and shouldn't match any description of the Elders. They might be outsiders."

Noah remained silent, just deeply looking at him. "Alright, you can leave."

"Yes, Village Leader," Aur bowed slightly before he left the place.

After he left the room, two people who were wearing long black coats materialized in the room from thin air.

"What do you guys think, did you use that special spell?" Noah questioned.

"From my logical reasoning, this is impossible, but the spell we used on him seemed to have become broken," one of the people came forward, speaking in a respectful tone.

"Broken?" Noah frowned.

"Yes, Village Leader. Whenever we tried to use the spell, it simply didn't work on it, as if there was an invisible entity that barred us from probing him. It seems like we don't have the capability to do these; perhaps only a Tier Two investigator could do so," the man said in a sincere tone.

Noah frowned when he heard these.

The two were the best investigator wizards of the village, both at the peak of Tier One, but now they both have failed to investigate him.

For a Tier Two investigator, they didn't have anyone in the village who could be qualified.

Being an investigator was not an easy task, and to do so, the wizard needed to dedicate their entire life to studying only spells related to investigation spells, so their combat power was nothing.

Having an investigator at Tier Two was simply impossible for their small village, even having these two individuals was extremely lucky.

Even those named cities rarely had a Tier Two wizard who could be called an investigator.

"Is there no way?" Noah frowned.

The two looked at each other with a glint reflecting in their eyes. "Actually, there might be a possibility that we can see through Aur, Village Leader, but we will need some small help."

"Oh, what would that be? As long as it is within my power, I will try to help as much as possible."

"We are soon going to reach the Intermediate Level mastery from Disciple Level mastery in the investigation magic," they both said in unison with some excitement.

Noah's eyes lit up when he heard these. "Excellent, then I will supply you all the resources that will be needed for you to practice. As long as you can reach the Intermediate Level of comprehension, then you should be able to make your spell reach a level of power which can infinitely be close to the Tier Two wizard."

"Thank you, Village Leader," they both said as they couldn't hold their excitement.

"Haha, practice well. How long would it take for you to reach that level?"

"Initially, from our estimation, it might have taken a month, but from the help of the Village Leader, it might be done in a week."

"Excellent," Noah smiled.

...

Aur entered the underground cave with a curious expression on his face. After showing his Elders' badge to the guard, they let him in.

Although this place was called a pavilion, it was actually an underground place.

Immediately, his eyes were filled with lots of papers that were countless in his eyes, in a messy position.

Aur casually took one of the papers, and with just a glance, he could tell all the information contained in it, which made him frown, casually tossing it to the pile of papers.

"That paper contained crime cases and miscellaneous things." He immediately got to work, checking all the papers in the pile of mess.

"This is miscellaneous... this is also one... these as well..."

Just like that, an hour has passed, and Aur has almost looked at one-tenth of the entire papers these rooms had, but his expression wasn't good because he didn't find a single piece of useful information here.

"As expected," Aur sighed before going down again, walking down the narrow hallway before he entered another floor.

Unlike the previous one, this one was neatly kept, and there was not a speck of dust or cobwebs in it.

Although from the first floor, the papers were all fewer, but when Aur read casually through these, his eyes lit up.

"Finally, something useful."

As he said these, he read through the entire paper and had an enlightened expression.

"Mastery of the magic, huh..." Aur was always curious why the spells were all combined and called magic.

Now he knew that this magic was a category which made it easy to distinguish the various mastery a person had.

There were five masteries in this world: Disciple, Intermediate, Master, Grand Master, and Supreme Grand Master.

These five masteries defined how far one has comprehended the entire set of magic.

A wizard is said to have a Disciple Level mastery as long as the wizard can refine the spell related to the magic.

For most wizards, these were quite common, and almost all have reached these levels, but they might be stuck in these mastery levels forever.

If they reach the Intermediate mastery, then they can imitate the spells that are related to the magic and create an entire new spell from the derived version of it, and even combine multiple spells of the same magic to superimpose themselves and release a terrifying power.

As for when a wizard reached the Master level of the magic, then the person could create spells out of thin air related to the attribute of the magic without any inspiration.

They could refine spells in a moment as long as they had the available resources, and the combination of the spell becomes even more terrifying.

The Grand Master and Supreme Grand Master levels of mastery had no such record in the village, but Aur was satisfied with this much information.

"It was really the right decision to come to this place." Aur looked at the other papers with brightened eyes, for him, these are treasure troves and contained even some information about the outside.

As the saying goes, knowledge is eternal wealth.

These ordinary papers were all invaluable to Aur, and immediately, he started to skim through all these papers with a serious expression, keeping his calm, checking everything one by one.

He has not forgotten about the main purpose of coming here, that was to know the reason behind such a terrifying explosion, but gaining more information was also good for him.

It was like killing two birds with one stone.
