The black raven entered the room through the air vent in the window and shrouded itself in a cloud of grey mist. It then transformed into the mysterious black-dressed woman. Link was completely stunned at the sight.

Is this person here to silence me? What have I gotten myself into?

“Relax. I mean no harm,” the woman said. Link could indeed feel no malice emanating from her magic aura, nor any suspicious fluctuations that may hint at a sneak attack. She did not even hold a wand in her hand.

Nonetheless, Link was still alert.

“I don’t think a person who barges into my room so late at night would mean no harm.”

Eleanor smiled, accentuating the alluring charm of her beautiful face. She walked to the only chair in the small bedroom and adjusted her sitting position until she was comfortable.

“Just to be safe, I was observing you the whole time; you are of no threat to me, and similarly, I do not want to cause any trouble in Hot Springs City. Furthermore, I specialize in secret magic, if I truly meant to cause you any harm, I would not even appear in front of you. What do you say?”

If they were not in Hot Springs City, Eleanor’s normal procedure would be to bring Link back to her Mage Tower for interrogation before erasing his memory. That was what she had done for most of the humans she had an interest in.

However, that was not possible here. Link had a Level-6 Magician living beside him and there were many other Master Magicians roaming around town. Furthermore, Link was pretty powerful himself—she had to speak to him as though he was her equal.

Link thought for a moment before putting away his wand.

“So what business do you have here?”

Seeing that Link was reasonable, Eleanor was immediately in a good mood.

“We are all here for the Magician’s Fair. Although the fair will not start until tomorrow, I would like to make some transactions with you in advance,” she said.

“Oh?” Link was intrigued.

Even though Link was still wary, he maintained a calm composure and no longer displayed any signs of hostility.

Eleanor admired Link’s ability to hide his emotions. She took a scroll out from her dimensional ring and said, “I have a magic scroll containing a Level-4 spell. I will give you this in exchange for your Whistle spell. What do you think?”

Exchanging a Level-1 spell for a Level-4 spell was simply a bargain under normal circumstances. However, Link was not a normal human being. If he truly wanted to learn a spell, he could simply purchase it using his Omni Points. He also had access to the complete collection of Herrera’s and Anthony’s magic books. The Level-4 spell thus had no value to Link, at least not as valuable as the Level-1 spell Eliard and him spent so much time and effort creating.

It was a one and only Level-1 spell that was created through their combined efforts.

Link shook his head and said, “I have no interest in exchanging them.”

Eleanor was taken aback, “You should probably take a look at this. This Level-4 spell is called Psychic Shock and was enchanted with my original Supreme Magical Skills. With this spell, you can attack the spirit of all enemies within a 240 feet radius and devastate their willpower.”

Link was even more unwilling now. He said, “I am not interested in such spells. By definition, this can already be considered dark magic.”

In the World of Firuman, any spells that directly attacked the spirit was forbidden. This was due to the devastating side effects of those spells which could destroy a person’s soul.

The death of the physical body was not something that was feared, as many believed that their souls would finally attain peace in heaven after death. However, the destruction of the soul was different as it would destroy your existence itself, something that was way too horrific to even think about.

Link had no prejudice towards this type of magic, though, he would not personally learn them. This was due to his fear of being even exiled by Magicians of the East Cove Higher Magic Academy.

“Okay then.” Eleanor put the scroll away and asked, “What do I have to offer to see the magic structure of your Whistle spell?”

Link was curious as to why Eleanor was so persistent in learning the Whistle spell. He thought for a moment and said, “Something that is unique, I guess.”

“What a greedy man!” Eleanor smiled and took out another scroll.

The scroll was brown in color and was enveloped in a glorious silver hue. When Eleanor brought it out, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have stagnated. Its magic presence was so overpowering that Link immediately felt his heart and mind grow heavy, as though he were pressured by an intangible force.

“This is?” Link did not expect a scroll to have such fearsome power.

“Do you know Bryant?” Eleanor smiled with pride, much like a sly fox who had successfully baited its prey.

“Of course!” Almost all sentient beings in the world would have heard of his name. Why else would he be heralded as a Legendary Magician?

“This is the Scroll of Enlightenment that he had left behind. I can let you take a look at it in exchange for your Whistle spell,” Eleanor offered.

“It’s a deal!” Link agreed without any hesitation.
