Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 295: The Only One In The World To Have A Wind Dancer

A few hours and a shower later, Lily and Ethan emerged from the inn with smiles on their faces.

They walked hand in hand, not caring if some of the students from Brynhildr Academy, who were in Limeburgh Town, saw them.

Neither of them had a destination in mind, so they simply let their feet take them wherever and enjoyed each other's company.

After a few minutes of walking, Ethan and Lily found themselves in front of the Flying Broom Store where Professor Ophelia had taken the handsome young man in the past.

"Brooms for all Seasons," Ethan muttered.

"Do you want to go inside?" Lily asked.

She knew that although Ethan couldn't ride flying brooms, her lover always wanted to have one.

"Why not?" Ethan smiled. "I'm hoping that Mr. Carwell is here as well."

The two teenagers then entered the shop.

There were a few people browsing the brooms for sale. But to Ethan's surprise, the person he was looking for was indeed inside the shop.

"It's you!" Mr. Carwell pointed at Ethan. "Good timing! I was about to look for you in the academy."

A sense of expectation bubbled up inside Ethan's chest when he saw the excitement in the Broom Maker's face.

"Is it finished, Mr. Carwell?" Ethan inquired as soon as he walked toward the counter, where Mr. Carwell was waiting for him.

Mr. Carwell nodded. "Indeed. Come with me to the backyard."

Without another word, the old man made a gesture for Ethan and Lily to follow him.

The young beauty, who had no idea what was happening, simply followed her lover.

She wasn't born in Eastshire, so she wasn't familiar with the owner of the Broom Shop. But when she glanced at the young man, she noticed that his face was filled with expectations. Then and there, she knew that whatever was happening was a good thing.

"Behold, Ethan," Mr. Carwell said with pride as he waved his hand to take out the flying broom from his storage ring. "The Wind Dancer!"

Ethan looked at the "flying broom" with eyes as wide as saucers.

Calling it a flying broom was an understatement.

Sure, the base of the Wind Dancer looked like a broom, but the finished model looked more like a motorbike, without wheels.

Even so, it was very impressive.

Ethan had no doubt that the moment the students in Brynhildr Academy saw him riding this bike, all of them would turn green with envy.

It was simply that amazing.

"Powered by four Mana Crystals, the Wind Dancer can fly up to speeds of 300 mph for three hours straight," Mr. Carwell said. "This feature is called Overdrive, and after three hours, all of the Mana Crystals will be depleted.

"The good news is that these Mana Crystals are rechargeable ones. You just need to find Beast Cores or other Mana Crystals in order to power it up. If you like, you can even use your own magical powers to recharge it. It's amazing!"

The old man paused for a bit to look at Ethan's dumbfounded expression. Clearly, he had expected this kind of reaction, which made him look more smug than usual.

"Take note that if you are planning to use the Overdrive function, it is best that you cast a wind barrier spell to protect yourself from the Air Pressure," Mr. Carwell explained in a serious tone. "Otherwise, you will definitely be injured while flying at that speed. It is also possible that you might be blown off from the Wind Dancer completely if you're not careful.

"These four Mana Crystals can last up to four to six months if you use them normally. Truth be told, crafting this thing cost me 4,000 Gold Coins. I was too passionate, and before I knew it, I'd already spent that much."

Mr. Carwell sighed in his heart. He had planned to give the Wind Dancer to Ethan so that he could test it. By doing so, he was certain that many people, especially Duds, would want to purchase one.

He was still in the process of trying to make a cheaper version of it, but even if he cut costs in materials, it would still cost 1,000 Gold Coins, which was something that most Duds could not afford.

Of course, if he truly made an effort, Mr. Carwell could make a functioning prototype that only had one Mana Crystal.

The price would then drop to 300 Gold Coins.

While it was still expensive, it was more affordable compared to the original Wind Dancer.

"Take it, Ethan," Mr. Carwell said as he lovingly caressed the masterpiece that he had spent many sleepless nights making. "But promise me that you will take good care of her."

"Thank you, Mr. Carwell," Ethan said as he handed a pouch to the Broom Maker. "Please, accept this as well."

The Broom Maker accepted the pouch and took out what was inside of it.

His eyes then widened in shock as he looked at the fist-sized blue pearl that was resting on the palm of his hand.

"T-This?!" Mr. Carwell looked at the Blue Pearl that was usually only seen in Auction Houses. "Is this what I think it is?"

Ethan nodded. "Lyr's Pearl."

"By the Gods!" Mr. Carwell looked at the pearl in his hands, which usually sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. "Are you sure that you are giving this to me?"

"Yes and no," Ethan replied with a smile. "If possible, I would like to have a few more Wind Dancers made. I believe that Lyr's Pearl can be sold for a high price in Auctions. I hope that it's enough to cover the expenses of making a few more of these for my friends in Dud Manor."

Mr. Carwell finally calmed down after hearing Ethan's reply.

Truth be told, he was also itching to make newer versions of the Wind Dancer, but the price was simply too steep.

But with the extremely rare pearl in his hands, it was now very possible to create several Wind Dancers, and he'd even have plenty of gold coins to spare.

After pondering for a bit, Mr. Carwell nodded his head.

"I understand, but let me make a suggestion," Mr. Carwell stated. "Instead of making a Wind Dancer, I will make something else. The materials will not be as high quality as the ones I used for you.

"But I guarantee that the performance will be almost the same. However, the Mana Cores will be reduced to two instead of four. This way, instead of making a few flying brooms that only a few of your Manor Mates can use, I will be able to make dozens of them, enough to provide all of your Manor Mates with their own Wind Riders."

"Wind Riders?" Ethan blinked. "Not Wind Dancers?"

Mr. Carwell chuckled. "You know, Ethan, something is only truly precious when it's rare. Just like this pearl in my hand. If you see a lot of them, wouldn't their value diminish? This is why I will call the next batch Wind Riders, instead of Wind Dancer."

The Broom Maker then patted Ethan's shoulder with a smile.

"This means that you will be the only one in the world to have a Wind Dancer," Mr. Carwell said. "So make sure to keep it as a family heirloom in the future."

After chatting for a few more minutes and finalizing the deal for the creation of the Wind Riders, Ethan and Lily took off to the skies.

Usually, It was Ethan riding behind Lily as she used her flying broom to fly in the sky.

Now, the young beauty was hugging Ethan's back as her lover tested the Wind Dancer for the first time.

"It's just like riding a bike," Ethan grinned as he navigated the "Flying Motor Bike" in the sky.

"Let's go back to the academy," Lily suggested. "I want to see how everyone will react once they see your flying broom."

Ethan nodded and headed toward Brynhildr Academy with a big smile on his face.

Just like they expected, the members of Dud Manor went crazy after seeing Ethan's flying bike. They had long given up of being able to fly in the sky using a flying broom.

But, when they discovered that the handsome young man had already signed a deal that would provide them with their own Wind Riders, everyone looked at him as if he was Santa Claus.

Lily could only giggle when she saw the members of Dud Manor toss Ethan high up in the air, similar to what they did during the Clash of Manors.

She knew that this happiness of hers might be short-lived since her older brother was expected to arrive the next day.

Even so, she decided to trust her lover, who was determined to show her family that she didn't make a mistake when she chose him to become her partner for life.
