“Watson, you heard that?”

Nindy was shocked when Watson opened the door and walked into the room.

“Yes, we’re all friends here, so I hope that everyone can stay too. If you become a mage with Blackmoon Castle, I will give you ten gold coins a month and three Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs every day. However, like the Blackmoon Knights, you’ll have to participate in training. If you perform well, then you will have a chance to get a high-quality magic staff and the eligibility to learn higher-level magic.”

Watson narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox.

They would get a high-quality staff?

Learn higher-level magic?

The few mages, including Nindy, breathed heavily. When they were with the Mage Guild, they had to accumulate points through missions for several years to exchange for bronze-tier magic scrolls. As for higher-level silver-level magic, it was something that could only be found by chance. They would not be able to do that for at least ten years.

“I have a bronze-tier spell and a silver-tier spell—they are both water-elemental spells! If I have Folson’s relics, then I believe that I can double that. I will teach you these spells in time, so think about it.”

Watson increased the drama flair; he knew he could move them.

“We are willing to join Blackmoon Castle.”

The mages looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Even if they could not learn high-level spells, they would still be satisfied if they could eat Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs daily. The eggs could improve their fitness and increase the content of the magical elements in them. If they were to eat the eggs for a period, they were confident that they could break through to silver-tier.

“Very good. Since you’ve decided, then let’s sign the contract.”

Watson clapped his hands and summoned his personal maid, Capella, to help draw up a contract.

The contract stipulated the salary and reward system for the mages. It also stated the work that those mages had to do, including daily training, expedition for magical beasts with the Blackmoon Knights, defending the castle in times of danger, and others.

The people of that world paid great attention to contracts, and once it was signed, they would not go against it. So, to be safe, Watson added a clause at the bottom of the contract that said—the final interpretation of the above clauses would belong to the Black Moon Castle.

..

An hour had passed after the contract was signed.

Watson brought the mages, including his sister, to the training field outside the castle.

Since the Blackmoon Knights were on patrol, no one was at the field; it was only them.

“Watson, why did you bring us here?” Nindy asked carefully as she accompanied Watson.

She looked at Watson subconsciously and found that her younger brother had a confident smile on his face. His blue eyes contained everything, and she could not help but nod secretly.

He was different from the past.

He had been a silly child who had run around their house to a young genius—what had he experienced?

“I’m going to demonstrate some magic. It might cause some damage if we were in the castle. So it’s better to do it here.”

Watson explained that with a smile. He patted the small bag on his waist and held a sky-blue magic staff in his left hand.

Those two items were given to him after the mages had signed the contract. He wanted to test the strength of those two items and intimidate those mages.

Benefits could make people hot-headed, but it would not last long. Watson still needed to intimidate them with force and also treat them with kindness and power. He would only call himself a qualified leader then.

After he made up his mind, Watson lowered his head; the information of the magic staff appeared in his eyes.

Silver-tier tool—Heart of the Ocean Staff.

Effect: Increases the casting speed of water-elemental spells by 20 percent, reduces the power by 50 percent, and reduces the consumption of spells by 50 percent.

Additional Effects: During rainy days or in an environment with sufficient water elements, all effects will receive an extra 50 percent boost.

Watson nodded in satisfaction. Then, he raised his staff and tried to use the only silver-tier spell he had mastered—the water-elemental warrior summon.

When he raised the staff in his hand, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. Lightning flashed, and thick water columns fell from the sky and landed and left large holes in the ground. They turned into tall, three-meter-tall blue warriors, and they held a shield and a long spear in their hands, and their steps were firm.

Watson felt the swelling pain and discomfort at the back of his head, but he ordered the warriors to stay where they were.

The water-elemental warriors that he summoned were more solid than the ones he had summoned on the battlefield. The sky-blue armors looked like they were made of steel, and the number of warriors had also increased. He had managed to summon 100 warriors in the previous battle, but he had summoned 150 warriors on that day. The duration had also increased to ten minutes from the previous five minutes.

“This is the power of a silver-tier magic staff. It is no wonder that every powerful mage would have a magical tool—it can double their strength.”

Watson sighed and waved the staff to disperse the water-elemental warrior. He began to study another tool that Fulson had left behind—the spatial pouch.

Silver-tier tool—the spatial pouch.

Effect: There is a 100-square-meter vacuum inside the spatial pouch. It can be used for storage. The items placed inside will not rot over time, but the pouch can not store living things.

Activation Method: Add magic elements into the spatial pouch.

After he added his water elements into the spatial pouch, Watson quickly opened it, but there were not many items left inside. Most of the scrolls had been consumed by Folson during the previous battle, but he found half a gold-tier scroll and a silver-tier scroll called the Mine Cannonball. Other than that, there were a few bottles of potions and some food—from the waves that they emitted, they should be either bronze-tier and iron-tier.

Then, Watson retrieved the Mine Cannonball scroll. There was a shining silver metal plate made of arcane mithril in his hand.

In the previous battle, Folson had left a deep impression on him when he used that move. Even though the source of chaotic-elemental magic in his body had managed to absorb the Mine Cannonballs, some of them still hit the ground and caused some violent explosions. Watson did not deny that it was a powerful spell.

As Watson studied the chant and the metal plate carved onto the scroll, the other mages observed him as they discussed in a low voice.

“Young Master Watson is a silver-tier mage, indeed. The water-elemental soldiers that he summoned were too powerful! I’ve seen them once on the battlefield, but this is the first time I’ve seen them up close. If we can master this spell, then we can form an army all by ourselves!”

“Everyone would yearn for this type of powerful spell! Unfortunately, I’m only a bronze-tier mage now, and the power in my body isn’t enough. Even if I master it, I won’t be able to cast it. Is Young Master Watson trying to learn Elder Folson’s ultimate skill—the Mine Cannonballs? Those silver-tier spells are not easy!”

Some people looked envious, some looked regretful, and some were curious about Watson’s actions at that moment. Even if one could master the silver-tier spell, one would still require hundreds or thousands of attempts to cast them. If one made one small mistake in any of the steps, then the spell would fail. It might even cause an explosion.

Even a genius like Watson could not have learned it that fast.
