《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

Count Selin heaved a long sigh as if he was overwhelmed with emotions. He was the actual ruler of Prakash City so it was natural for him to make many enemies. He was similar to Old Wilson where the latter had killed many people in his territory.
However, having an enemy was one matter but having a tough enemy was a different matter. Obviously, the fact that Merilung dared to seek revenge from Count Selin after a short period of five years surely indicated that he must have someone or something to rely on.
"I've investigated this thoroughly. After Merilung ran away, he experienced something and became a Spell Caster. So, he thinks that he's strong and brave. That's why he sent the letter to threaten me."
Count Selin appeared to be helpless. Little did he thought that dealing with the noble who betrayed him could bring him so much trouble in the end.
"Spell Caster!"
Merlin became serious. That explained why the security was so tight in the castle. It was a Spell Caster who threatened Count Selin. Also, it appeared that Count Selin was extremely nervous. This Spell Caster must have something up his sleeve.
Even until now Count Selin could not be sure how strong the opponent could be. He still had to wait for Merilung to show himself a few days later to be sure.
"Father, don't worry. In five years, how strong can Merilung become? If he dares to come, I'll kill him myself to save us trouble in the future!" Cook stepped forward and declared in a low voice.
He was extremely confident with his own ability. He was a Fifth-level Elemental Swordsman and had even killed an Icelandic Wolf. He was naturally unafraid of any threat.
After Cook finished his words, he looked at Merlin.
Although Merlin had noticed Cook's gaze, he did not put much thought into it. He was still analyzing Count Selin's words.

This was indeed a great problem. Being silent for five years and bearing the family grudge, he would not return for revenge without having a certainty of success. If Merlin was involved in this matter, he might put himself in danger.
However, many masters were still hiding outside of Count Selin's castle. Merlin carefully sensed that there were at least ten Fourth-level Elemental Swordsmen. On top of other Elemental Swordsmen and the strong Cook, this was a great force. They should stand some chance to win against Merilung.
Thus, after thinking about it for a while, Merlin had decided to stay in the castle and help Count Selin. If they were able to overcome this crisis, it would greatly help the Wilson family and the Parman family to settle in Prakash City.
"Count Selin, let me first excuse myself. After making the necessary arrangement with my family, I'll return to the castle."
Count Selin nodded then said to Cook, "Cook, send Wizard Merlin out."
The young girl Shelly quickly replied, "Father, let me send Wizard Merlin out."
Without waiting for Count Selin's reply, she pulled Merlin out of the castle.
After Merlin left, Count Selin shook his head and said, "Phuman still has not sent the Spell Casters in Ravens Castle. Those Spell Casters are official First-level Spell Casters and even higher-level Spell Casters. If I have those people with me, why will I still be afraid of this Merilung?"
Cook let out a sneer. "Father, it still depends on us to deal with Merilung! Let me arrange it. Spell Caster also has weaknesses. We can totally kill a beginner Spell Caster with a strong crossbow!"
"That's right. We still need to do this. Cook, I leave you in charge of this matter. Make all necessary arrangements inside and outside of the castle. Make sure not a corner is left unguarded. Once Merilung appears, kill him immediately at any cost!"

"Hehe. Please rest assured, Father. I'll let Merilung have a taste of despair once again!"
A hint of ferocity flashed across Cook's eyes.
When Merlin returned to the hotel, he found that no one was there except General Prat and a few knights who were waiting.
"Uncle Prat, where has everyone go?"
Merlin recalled correctly that Old Wilson had booked these few hotels.
Prat replied calmly, "Young Master Merlin, Sir Baron asked me to wait for you here. Right after you left, Sir Baron found a deserted castle in the city. After sending people to ask about it, he found that it used to belong to a baron in Prakash City. The baron died afterward and his family has fallen. The castle became vacant then, ready to be sold. Sir Baron thought that if the family needs to settle down completely in Prakash City, we'll need a place to live. So, he spent two hundred thousand Gold coins and bought the castle."
"Oh? So quick? Bring me there."
Merlin had planned to help Count Selin to eliminate Merilung and raised some conditions to him. He wanted to let Count Selin map out a place in Prakash City for the Wilson family and the Parman family.
However, if Old Wilson had found the place himself, this was even better.
Soon, following General Prat, Merlin arrived at the castle Old Wilson had found.
This castle indeed appeared as if it had been deserted for a while. The walls outside of the castle had completely crumbled. Wilting grass covered the land within the castle.
However, the butler had brought the people to start cleaning the grass and snow around the castle.
This castle was huge, even bigger than Wilson Castle. It would not be too crowded for two thousand people. Moreover, with the presence of the people, it made the cold, lonely castle appeared livelier.
Merlin came to the hall of the castle and saw Old Wilson and Baron Parman ordering the servants. They were busying about the whole place, bringing many things from the carriage into the castle.
Ladies like Macy, Big-breasted Madam, and Avril were all full of smiles as well. They were filled with fear and worry while coming from Blackwater City but now they could finally settle down in Prakash City. It was only natural for them to feel happy.
Even Old Wilson and Baron Parman were directing the servants. They felt much more relaxed now.
"Merlin, what do you think of this castle?" Seeing Merlin who was standing behind him, Old Wilson asked in anticipation.
Merlin scanned the place. Although the hall was covered in dust, it appeared from the decoration that the previous master of this castle was also a noble. The decoration had an elegant style.
Moreover, the area of the castle was large and there were many rooms. Not only the Wilson family, all of them and even the Parman family could fit in this place. To be able to buy such a castle in a foreign land was truly fortunate.
Merlin nodded and said, "It's good. With a little time and some decorations, we can all settle in here."
Old Wilson and Baron Parman were very satisfied with this castle. It definitely worth two hundred thousand Gold coins.
Until it was about time, Old Wilson and Baron Parman called Merlin to the room upstairs which was promptly cleaned just now. Old Wilson asked in a serious tone, "Merlin, after you met Count Selin, did you hear from him what sort of trouble he's in? Is there any danger?"
Old Wilson and Baron Parman were concerned about the outcome of Merlin's meeting with Count Selin. If the danger was too great to handle and Merlin could not help Count Selin, it would obviously affect their plan to settle down in Prakash City.

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.
