Charise naturally knew what Merlin meant, so she pursed her lip and thought for a while. Then, she replied softly, "If you're willing to help, we'll give you half of our wealth."

After that, Charise gawked at Merlin.

Merlin's expression did not change. Still looking calm, he shook his head. "Not enough!"

Charise held her fist tightly. Her heaving chest was enough to reveal how nervous she was, but she kept on speaking, "We're willing to give you seventy percent of our wealth!"

Merlin still replied without emotion, "Not enough!"

Charise could no longer hold it in and she let out a low growl. "Baron Merlin, do you know how much wealth we have? Seventy percent of our wealth is probably something you don't even dare to imagine."

After Charise let out her emotion, she found that Merlin was not affected at all.

After a long while, Charise bit her lips tightly. As if she was making a difficult decision, she took a deep breath and said, "Other than seventy percent of our wealth, I'll also stay here and serve you!"

To the proud Charise, this statement had destroyed her dignity. Soon, the superior princess had to serve a man with her young body just like the lowly maids.

Above all things, this man was the person she had never thought highly of.

"Swish."

Princess Charise suddenly took off the black robe, revealing her curvy figure.

Merlin squinted his eyes and glanced at Charise. He compared her with the three women with the most exceptional looks he had seen up to now.

The one with the most delicate looks was Avril but her look was too delicate. She seemed just like a porcelain doll and was less feminine. This was probably because Avril was still quite young.

Gia had the charms of a mature woman. She was able to seduce people and fueled them with endless desire.

Charise also had the charms of a mature woman but she was surrounded more by a graceful aura. This was something that she had developed in the palace since she was little. It was something normal people could not possess.

Merlin could see that Charise was very determined for the sake of the last bloodline of the Royal Family, Benin! She was willing to give up the dignity of a princess and begged for Merlin's protection. On top of that, she might have also said the same thing to Baron Warren.

However, Merlin did not care at all. No matter how much wealth Charise was offering him, Merlin would not be moved, so he shook his head. "Still not enough!"

"Puff."

Charise pulled her eyes wide suddenly and her face went pale.

At this time, she also understood what he meant. No matter how high a price she was willing to pay, it was not enough to move the man in front of her.

"Sigh…"

Charise heaved a long sigh and tried to calm her emotions. However, she did not leave just yet. She looked at Merlin in silence.

Merlin frowned. The tone of rejection in his words was already obvious. No matter what Charise offered him, he would not promise her.

"Lady Charise, I think I have said it clear. I won't…"

Merlin suddenly stopped talking. His gaze stared directly at a black ring on Charise's hand, his expression full of surprise.

From this ring, he actually felt a strange feeling as if this ring was extraordinary.

Charise caressed the ring lightly and said calmly, "This ring is a token to the Dark Magic Region. With this ring, one can directly join the Dark Magic Region and become a strong Spell Caster! I'm not sure if this ring is enough to exchange for your aid?"

"Hiss."

Merlin gasped and could not believe it. He wore an odd expression as he asked, "This is a token to the Dark Magic Region?"

"That's right. It's a token to the Dark Magic Region, a strong Spell Caster organization in the Kingdom of Blackmoon!"

After receiving Charise's definite answer, Merlin finally believed that the ring in Charise's hand was the token to a Spell Caster organization he had dreamt to have!

Moreover, Merlin had heard about the Dark Magic Region. The black-robed old man had once said that the Dark Magic Region was closest to Prakash City. In fact, Prakash City was under the traditional influence of the Dark Magic Region.

Merlin carefully took the ring from Princess Charise's hand. This black ring was extremely light. He did not know what material it was made from.

However, there were some tiny runes written on it, forming a strange Magic Circle. Merlin had read about it on old man Etha's Spell Manual. The origin of Spell Casters was so ancient to the point that no one knew when Wizards had appeared. Those ancient Spell Casters had also left many miraculous tricks other than spells.

For example, there were Potions, Alchemy, Runes, and others. Every subject required Spell Casters to spend a whole life of energy and time to study.

Take the black-robed old man, for example, his Spell Model was not stable. He relied on some potions to maintain and slightly stabilize his Spell Models. However, the old man only had one potion formula. He was far from saying that he had studied Potions. Only in a Spell Caster organization, one could systematically learn and study Potions.

Alchemy and Runes were the same. They were only grasped by some in certain Spell Caster organization. Even though Merlin still could not understand the secret behind this black ring, he was certain that it must be an extraordinary thing just from looking at the mysterious runes carved on it even if it was not a token to the Dark Magic Region.

'Wizard Hill has seen a lot. Maybe he'll be able to recognize this ring.'

Merlin decided in his heart that he should find time to visit the old man again.

"How is it? This ring can allow you to join a Spell Caster organization. Can you protect us now?"

Charise pursed her lips tightly and asked in a heavy tone. It seemed that this was her trump card. Unless in the last minute, she would not be willing to use this ring.

Merlin kept the ring in his pocket and stared at Charise in an unscrupulous way. He gave a faint smile. "Protecting you for no reason? Of course not."

"What do you want?"

Charise's face pumped bright red due to her anger and she shot death glares at Merlin.

"However, if you're my woman, things will be different!"

After that, Merlin held Charise in his arm as his right hand found its way on the delicate fair body. The plump hills on her body were toned and bouncy, creating a beautiful sensation beyond words on his fingertips. Above all, the special odor on Charise crept into Merlin's nose, immediately arousing the young Spell Caster's desire.

Charise only managed to let out a stifled noise, then she became silent. At that time, only the heavy breathing sounds of those two were left in the room…
