1139 Mage Merlin Strikes!
“The great Mage Odom exited the spatial barrier, and descended from a distant plane. With the wisdom of mages, he slayed deities with legendary spells, and liberated billions of people. From then on, he brought the wisdom and knowledge of mages to this world, allowing everyone in the plane to enjoy the glory of mages…”

Lin Feng was holding a biography. There was a passage that praised Legendary Mage Odom.

Excluding the exaggerated flattery and praises, Lin Feng keenly discovered some clues. There were originally deities in the Odom Plane.

Deities reigned over all living beings in this world, but ever since Odom descended, he killed the deities. Moreover, he was not stingy at all, and disseminated all the knowledge of mages to this plane.

These mages were powerful enough to easily suppress a plane, and even the native deities were not their match. Moreover, they were magnanimous and did not keep their knowledge to themselves. Instead, they spread the knowledge of mages, causing a large number of mages to be born in the Odom Plane in a very short period of time.

Some mages even followed Odom’s footsteps and left the Odom Plane to conquer other planes.

“The Mage Civilization is truly terrifying!”

Lin Feng pondered. From these few words, he could actually already deduce the composition of the Mage Civilization. With knowledge as the core, they constantly pursued more knowledge, conquered civilization after civilization, and disseminated knowledge.

In the end, no plane would oppose the mages, because that plane had already been “assimilated” by the knowledge of the Mage Civilization, and became a part of the Mage Civilization.

Lin Feng even wondered what would happen if the Mage Civilization clashed with the Chaotic Civilization.

Hence, Lin Feng did not dare to be careless. He reevaluated the Mage Civilization to be a world on the same level as Chaos. If he wanted to devour the tens of thousands of planes in the World of Mages step by step, he had to figure out the specific cultivation system of the mages first.

However, in Val’s territory, Lin Feng could not come into contact with the knowledge of mages at all.

Only in the capital, the capital of the Azure Kingdom, could a large amount of knowledge on mages, as well as true mages be found. Lin Feng had been planning to bid farewell to Earl Val and head to the capital recently.

Before this, Lin Feng had already familiarized himself with the current rules of the Odom Plane. They did not suppress Lin Feng at all. Moreover, Lin Feng’s Divine Fire Technique could be used in many worlds, as the foundation was Lin Feng’s Chaotic spirit flames.

Without suppression, he could also successfully use the Divine Fire Technique.

The Divine Fire Technique was an ultimate divine ability with terrifying power. If he really unleashed its full power, the entire Odom Plane would probably be instantly burned to ashes by the flames of the Divine Fire Technique.

Since his strength was not an issue, Lin Feng prepared to bid farewell to Earl Val.

“Mage Merlin, please save Father.” Suddenly, Lady Pera’s cries came from outside Lin Feng’s door.

“Huh? Lady Pera, what happened?”

Lin Feng opened the door and saw Lady Pera’s pale face. Tears were streaming down her face, and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked very haggard.

“Mage Merlin, it’s the Black Wind Bandits. They fled into the territory. Father went to patrol and encountered the Black Wind Bandits. Those bandits are powerful. Father’s team is already trapped, and they’re in imminent danger. Mage Merlin, please save Father.”

“Bandits?”

Lin Feng did not hesitate. He nodded and said, “Earl Val is so strong, yet he’s actually trapped by a group of bandits. Lady Pera, don’t worry. I’ll go find Earl Val now and make sure nothing happens to him.”

With that, Lin Feng left the castle by manipulating the wind.

Lin Feng was extremely fast, and his mental power enveloped the entire territory. He naturally knew all movements in the territory. Finding Earl Val was effortless.

 

“Found them!”
Lin Feng’s figure flashed, and he quickly saw the group of bandits and Earl Val’s cavalry up ahead.

Earl Val was leading a cavalry, but there were not many people, only 200. There were a total of 600 to 700 bandits, which was three times that of Earl Val’s forces. Moreover, the bandits were also well-trained. Two of them had joined forces, and were actually fighting Earl Val to a standstill.

Clearly, these were not ordinary bandits.

Earl Val was not in much danger. His silver armor was covered in blood. It should be the blood of those bandits. Every strike was filled with violent power.

However, the number of cavalrymen behind him kept declining. Once the cavalrymen were completely annihilated, Earl Val would be in danger.

“Earl, I’m here to help you!” Lin Feng shouted.

Swoosh.

A violent gust swept over from the distant sky. Lin Feng extended his hand and pointed. Spheres of flames flew out of his hand and quickly smashed towards the bandits below.

Boom.

The flames erupted, burning continuously on the bodies of those bandits as if they were alive. This was Chaotic spirit flames. Forget about mere bandits, even a Chaotic divine beast could not withstand it.

“Ah… It’s a mage, a mysterious and powerful mage!”

“Where did a mage come from? Moreover, it’s a fire mage with powerful offensive ability.”

“Run, run now.”

Seeing Lin Feng use the “fire spell”, these bandits immediately lost all their courage and fled backward in a frenzy. However, Lin Feng’s flames seemed to follow them like a shadow. Any bandits who tried to escape were devoured by the flames.

Gradually, the bandits were all reduced to ashes one by one. Even the two bandits who were fighting fiercely with Earl Val were no exception. As soon as a little fire surrounded them, they were quickly burned to ashes by the raging flames.

The entire battlefield fell silent at this moment. Everyone watched this scene in shock.

Although they had long heard that mages were very strong, and had powerful spells, very few people had actually seen a mage use spells. Naturally, it was very stunning.

Earl Val had once seen a true mage use spells on the battlefield, but he was also very shocked. On the battlefield, he had seen an Intermediate Mage cast spells, but it was far less stunning than Lin Feng’s “fire spell”.

“Could Mage Merlin be an Advanced Mage? Or even stronger?”

Earl Val’s heart skipped a beat. Advanced Mages were the strongest mages. That would make him one of the top mages in the Azure Kingdom.

As for those above the level of Advanced Mages, even Earl Val did not dare to imagine it.

For a moment, Earl Val’s heart burned with excitement. No matter what, he had to let Lady Pera follow Lin Feng.

“My Lord, are you all right?”

Lin Feng also flew down.

“Mage Merlin, thank you for saving me. Not only did you save me, you also saved tens of thousands of people in the entire territory. They will all be grateful for your kindness.”

Earl Val became even more respectful towards Lin Feng. After returning to the castle, Earl Val hinted to his daughter, Pera, to ask to learn spells from Lin Feng.

“Mage Merlin, I’ve been looking forward to becoming a mage since I was young. Please accept me as a disciple, Mage Merlin.”

Pera’s face was flushed, as if she was very nervous, but there was anticipation in her gaze.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, but he still shook his head and said, “I was about to bid farewell to the Earl and head to the capital. Hence, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to teach Lady Pera.”

“Go to the capital? That’s right. There are many powerful mages in the capital. Mage Merlin, don’t worry. Pera is a grown-up. Moreover, I trust that she’ll be safe around you. Why don’t you bring Pera along, Mage? She can even be your follower.”

Followers were almost equivalent to servants.

However, even nobles were very willing to become the follower of a powerful mage.

“In that case… All right, there’s no need for you to be a follower. Pera can just be my registered disciple.”

Lin Feng thought for a moment. There was no harm in bringing Pera along.

“Thank you so much. Disciple Pera greets Mentor Merlin!”

Pera was overjoyed. Becoming the disciple of a mage already took her one step closer to her childhood dream of becoming a true mage.

Lin Feng did not delay. After bidding farewell to Earl Val, he and Pera, as well as some maidservants arranged by the Earl, traveled to the capital in carriages.
