Chapter 479: 479
The peak of the mountain was extremely vast . At first, Merlin did not realize it but the more he walked toward the palace, the more he saw many smaller buildings . Some were domes and some were spires, and there were even some tall towers that were built in tight clusters . At a glance, there seemed to be several hundreds of them .
Beside him, Wizard Dara did not forget to introduce the place . “Wizard Merlin, these are the living spaces for the Glorious Wizards inside the Glorious Palace . Here, the Glorious Wizards have utmost freedom . Although they’re called Glorious Wizards, it’s actually just a name . The Glorious Wizards aren’t confined to the Glorious Palace, and can usually go wherever they want . ”
Merlin nodded . He also noticed that a considerable portion of these buildings was empty, so the Glorious Wizards must have left .
Nevertheless, there were tight clusters of hundreds of buildings, which meant that there were at least a hundred Ninth-level Spell Casters here . This was a fearsome number . Merlin did not know how many Ninth-level Spell Casters were there in the Glorious Land but in the southern Spell Caster world, it was unimaginable that there were hundreds of Ninth-level Wizards . If any of the large spell casters’ organization had hundreds of Ninth-level Wizards, they would quickly squash all the other large organizations .
Moreover, this was only the Ninth-level Glorious Wizards . Inside the Glorious Palace, there were also the mysterious Great Wizards . Those Great Wizards were the true apex of the Glorious Palace .
The white-robed Wizard turned back to look at Wizard Dara . In a curious tone, he asked, “It seems like you’re quite familiar with the Glorious Palace . Have you been to the Glorious Palace before?”
Wizard Dara did not dare to brag, so he hurriedly replied, “I’ve entered the Glorious Pavilion once . ”
“I see, you’ve entered the Glorious Pavilion before . Not bad, you’re quite good . If you’ve really destroyed the wicked god’s believers this time and completed the mission, most likely you’ll be able to enter the Glorious Pavilion again . It’s rare for someone to enter the Glorious Pavilion twice before becoming a Glorious Wizard . You have a chance of becoming a Glorious Wizard!”
Upon hearing that Wizard Dara had entered the Glorious Pavilion before, the white-robed Wizard’s attitude warmed up significantly . He now regarded Wizard Dara as a Wizard of equal status . After all, someone who had managed to enter the Glorious Pavilion twice was basically almost bound to become a Glorious Wizard in the future .
Soon, the three of them arrived at the palace gate . This palace was incredibly sprawling . Standing at the palace gate, the three of them appeared inconceivably tiny . Hanging subtly over the lavish palatial gate were some Runic Magic Circles .
These Runic Magic Circles dumbfounded Merlin . With his current understanding of runes, he could tell that these Runic Magic Circles were highly advanced .
“Runic Heartprint!”
Merlin secretly activated the Runic Heartprint and it began to loom in between his brows . Through the Runic Heartprint, Merlin discovered that the Runic Magic Circles were truly complicated .
If he had relied on the Runic Heartprint, he would be able to break through the Runic Magic Circles on the gate but it would take a lot of time . This array of Runic Magic Circles was the most complicated that Merlin had seen to date .
It was important to note that Merlin’s Runic Heartprint was created with the lifetime work of the Great Wizard Fidel . In the field of runology, Great Wizard Fidel was renowned, and even the Great Legendary Wizards might not be comparable to the Great Wizard in his understanding of runology .
Therefore, Merlin did not believe that there was another Great Wizard who would possess the same depth of understanding in runology as the Great Wizard Fidel . Furthermore, the Runic Magic Circles on the gate had a residual trace of the aura of the Maxim .
This meant that these Runic Magic Circles were probably placed by the only Legendary Wizard in the entire dimension, Wizard Mogan . Only a Legendary Wizard would be able to possess and use the power of Maxims .
“Creak . ”
The white-robed Wizard carved out a few runes, and the heavyset door slowly swung open . Merlin and Wizard Dara quickly looked into the palace and saw that there were several Spell Casters inside the palace .
The auras on every one of these Spell Casters were not weaker than the white-robed Wizard . In fact, there were also some who were even more powerful!
“This is the relaxation zone . Usually, the Glorious Wizards would come here to exchange their discoveries as well as the occasional spells . ”

The white-robed explained softly . Merlin, too, saw that the Glorious Wizards were sitting in twos and threes, gathered with their close friends, discussing their discoveries in a low voice .
This ambiance was something that Merlin had never yet witnessed before . Back when he was in Udon Fort on the Kurdmansla Islands, the members had been very united but that was as far as it went . Such a conducive ambiance had never existed .
These Glorious Wizards seemed not to care about guarding their own secrets . Whenever they had some new discoveries or progress, they were willing to reach out to a few close friends and discuss it with each other . Surrounded by such a conducive ambiance, Merlin knew that many of the Spell Casters would be able to improve their abilities very quickly . In all likelihood, their abilities would improve many times faster than Great Wizards who emerged anywhere else .
The white-robed Wizard appeared to be proud of it . Seeing the amazement on Merlin’s face, he smiled . “This conducive ambiance was introduced by the Great Wizard Mogan . Back then, he distinguished himself from the crowd and set an example starting with himself . He would personally interact and engage in discussions with some of the Great Wizards . Gradually, a conducive ambiance like this was created . Therefore, only a Glorious Wizard who had truly hit a dead-end would leave the Glorious Palace to seek other opportunities . Otherwise, they would stay in the Glorious Palace . With the experiences left behind by Wizard Mogan coupled by such a conducive ambiance, the chances for a Ninth-level Wizard to become a Great Wizard is increased manyfold . ”
Indeed, with such an ambiance, nobody would be willing to leave .
Wizard Dara also agreed . “Yes, the Great Wizard Mogan descended to this dimension and redeemed us from the hands of the wicked god . Otherwise, it would have been impossible to produce so many Great Wizards, and even more impossible to create such a prosperous Spell Caster civilization . ”
Wizard Mogan occupied a very noble position in the eyes of every Spell Caster . He was an open-minded, powerful Legendary Wizard who did not hold back from sharing his knowledge in spells, alchemy, potions, runology, and many more . His actions gave the Normies in this dimension an opportunity to possess powers that were comparable to the gods . In a way, he had indeed redeemed the lives in this entire dimension .
The more Merlin learned about Wizard Mogan’s deeds, the more he grew curious of him . Nevertheless, in his current state, Merlin was still ineligible to meet a Legendary Great Wizard like Wizard Mogan .
“Wizard Gritte, these two Wizards are here to submit their mission . According to them, they had destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine!”
The white-robed Wizard led Merlin and Wizard Dara to the front of the great hall . In that place was a transparent crystal counter . Sitting behind the counter was a Spell Caster who was having a shut-eye .

This Spell Caster did not contain any trace of life or elemental fluctuations . He was covered in a black cape and wore leather gloves, so he looked eerily strange .
Nevertheless, Merlin was extremely cautious and dared not regard this Wizard Gritte with the least bit of disdain . The reason was that this Great Wizard was in charge of the submission of missions in the entire Glorious Palace!
A Great Wizard without any elemental fluctuations was truly unheard of . If not for the fact that Wizard Dara had already mentioned the name of this Great Wizard to him as well as the deep respect shown by the white-robed Wizard, Merlin would not have guessed that this strangely dressed, “trendy”-looking Spell Caster was a powerful Great Wizard!
“Are you the ones who destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine?”
Wizard Gritte regarded both Wizard Dara and Merlin with a careless glance .
“Yes, we did . This is the Memory Crystal that recorded the process in which we destroyed the wicked god’s believers and the shrine . Wizard Gritte, please take a look . ”
As he spoke, Wizard Dara hurriedly handed in the Memory Crystal .
Wizard Gritte did not hold back at all . He took the Memory Crystal and immediately immersed his Mind Power into the Memory Crystal to check the information inside .
The amount of information was quite large, therefore even a Great Wizard would require some time to view it . Thus, Merlin and Wizard Dara simply sat down and waited quietly for Wizard Gritte to pass his decision .
It was unbeknownst how much time passed by . Both Wizard Dara and Merlin kept a close watch on Wizard Gritte’s expression . In the beginning, his expression was extremely calm but it quickly changed . Perhaps, judging from the large amount of information contained, he realized that destroying the believers of the wicked god and the shrine was not as easy as it seemed . Wizard Gritte’s expression turned more and more solemn, and finally, there was a hint of surprise .

Seeing that, Wizard Dara and Merlin had a strong feeling that the information inside the Memory Crystal had satisfied Wizard Gritte .
Soon, Wizard Gritte opened his eyes . This time, his eyes swept back and forth between Merlin and Wizard Dara . He nodded and said, “Not bad, you’ve completed the mission, and even killed the god that was just birthed into consciousness . You also destroyed the shrine . Your mission was completed perfectly . You can enter the Glorious Pavilion!”
Thus, Wizard Gritte immediately handed two black nameplates which were engraved with mysterious runes to Merlin and Wizard Dara . On top of the nameplate, the words “Glorious Pavilion” was carved .
“This is the nameplate of the Glorious Pavilion . Only with this nameplate, you would be allowed to enter the Glorious Pavilion . The Glorious Pavilion has a protective force so it’s impossible to enter without the nameplate . You just have to use your Mind Power to activate the nameplate but remember, these two nameplates will only last for a day . Once its time lapses, the nameplates will become useless, and you’ll be directly sent out of the Glorious Pavilion by its protective force . ”
Wizard Gritte briefly explained the use of these two nameplates . Since Wizard Dara had entered the Glorious Pavilion before, he naturally understood its rules .
“You can go to the Glorious Pavilion now . ”
Gritte waved his hand and allowed Wizard Dara and Merlin to leave .
After the two of them left, Wizard Gritte’s expression turned grave . In a low voice, he mumbled, “That must be the special Pandora Demon Ability Darkness Eye! How unexpected that it appeared here and belongs on the body of a mere Fourth-level Spell Caster . I must report this to Wizard Mogan immediately!”
Wizard Gritte immediately stood up and walked into a hidden Runic Magic Circle . He activated the Runic Magic Circle and disappeared without a trace . It was unknown where the Runic Magic Circle transported him to…
