Chapter 81 Student Meets Teacher (1/2)

Under the watchful eye and expertise of Hua Tuo and Merlin, Truen recovered quickly. As for the mysterious source that was absorbing all the magic from Endow Hill? They found it.

”Yes, I found a huge treasure at the end of the rainbow. However, I can't get it out of the lamp without Truen's help. The bell is way too high for me to reach.”

After much convincing that Merlin could help with the bell's reconstruction, the rooms and the clock, Zero finally agreed to bring the wizard into the lamp. Hua Tuo was curious about the space-distorting lamp and asked for some photographs of the place. Merlin agreed and teleported away with Zero.

In the lamp, Zero couldn't quite decide what colour he wanted the bedsheets to be and Merlin ground his teeth in exasperation. It took Zero twenty minutes to finally decide on orange.

”Is this the treasure you found?”

Zero nodded. ”It moves too! Actually, I have not seen it for a while so I don't know if it still moves.”

Merlin placed a hand on the 'stone' and immediately, it moved vigorously. It was about time too.

”Zero. I need to tell you something important. Stay calm and listen alright?”

The brunet nodded and Merlin pointed to the 'rock' treasure, explaining that it was actually the egg of a powerful and terrifying creature that cannot be kept as a pet.

”You can't keep it in the lamp.”

”Is it because it will be unhappy?”

Merlin nodded. ”Yes. This creature needs a large space and a lot of food to hunt. You need to let it go.”

Zero frowned. He didn't want to part with his treasure but if what Merlin said was true, he would need to. For the sake of the baby inside the egg, Zero needed to let it go.
