Base of the Golden Order!

Robert was meeting a special and ancient individual, Wizard Merlin!

"Hello Robert, many years!" - Said the elderly man in a suit quite calmly.

"Wizard Merlin, many years indeed!" - Robert said calmly.

Smiling slightly, Robert stepped aside and led Merlin and his disciples to a meeting room.

In this room there was hardly anyone, except for a figure in the corner, sitting in a chair with feet on the large round table, her face covered by her hood, she appeared to be sleeping.

Merlin raised an eyebrow, then said. - "I have noticed this for some time, you are practicing magic, correct? Even if I'm a little unfamiliar, I'm still familiar, I didn't want to say anything, but now that I've seen her, I'm sure of it!"

"I knew this couldn't be hidden from the great Wizard Merlin, so let me introduce you, this is Smile, she doesn't like to be called by her real name by someone she doesn't have confidence or intimacy with." - Said Robert pointing to none other than Juri.

"I see that she is quite rude, not even interested in looking at us." - Said an elderly woman behind her, frowning.

"Because I'm not interested, just say what you want, I'll see if I'm going to help or not!" - Said an arrogant and rude voice.

Merlin narrowed his eyes, so did his disciples.

"What did you say? Look here kid, I feel it's strong, but you're in front of people old enough to be your ancestors, have some respect!" - An elderly man behind raised his voice.

"Well, I'm not the one coming to this kid to ask for help, am I?" - Juri snorted, which made everyone even more irritated.

"I apologize, but that's how she is, there's nothing that can be done!" - Robert said sighing.

"Curious, I feel that she is very strong, in fact I notice that she has that Martial Arts energy, what's her name again? Oh yes! Does she have Chi inside her? If those Asian friends find out, I think they'll go crazy, especially after the mid-year robbery." - Merlin smiled menacingly.

"Whatever, if they come to cause trouble, I kill! It's not like Chi or Magic is something exclusive to you, I learned this shit myself and I'm still tweaking it, the reason I let you meet me is that I'm curious to know how much better my Magic is compared to oldies stagnant just like you!" - Said Juri who yawned at the end.

"Oh, so you're saying that alone, with less than 30 years to live, can learn Magic and Chi?" - Merlin smiled, getting very irritated.

"Magic has always been in everyone's body, I just had a better sense and learned it, it's not that difficult, as for Chi, just take any Martial Art that originated from Asia, practice and feel the Flow of Magic, with enough talent and time, your Chi veins explode and that's it, you become a Martial Artist, not without secret, I don't know why all this clowning!" - Juri said very rudely.

Merlin raised an eyebrow, that did affect him, because until now, he was using special spells to detect lies, Juri spoke some lies, but now… everything she said is true.

Merlin then sat facing Juri and asked. - "Why do you hide your face?"

"I don't know what kind of weird magic you have, you use my face to detect me and piss me off? That Order shit has pissed me off for a while too!" - Said Juri huffing.

"Oh, I thought you were part of the Order!" - Merlin smiled.

"Unfortunately that is not the case, Sorriso is not an Agent of the Order." - Robert said.

"So what were all those lies to the press? Just like the refusal of our Prince who even knelt!" - Merlin narrowed his eyes, even though he doesn't get involved much with politics, he still values the status of his nation.

"Smile is the one who created all the [Towers], she taught the Order methods of strengthening our bodies using Magic, which we have already sent to our military and will probably make available to a specific audience.

Smile is very important to the Order, so if she doesn't want something, then we'll agree, as she didn't want her identity to be exposed and has no interest in helping other continents, naturally I'll lie!" - Robert said without any shame.

"So you have the ability to help, but you'd rather see millions of people die? Whereby?" - Snorted with contempt one of the old women.

"Are you brave? Be a genius and know how to create structures like the [Towers], if you can, I'll get down on my knees and suck your old pussy!" - Snorted Juri which filled the lady with rage.

"He arrives!" - Merlin raised his voice, avoiding more problems.

Soon he looked at Juri and asked. - "Why do you refuse to help us? Have there been any incidents in the past that made you unhappy?"

"Meh, I don't give a fuck about the past, for me you old things kill and hate each other, FUCK YOU!" - Juri snorted, which Merlin saw was not a lie.

"I just don't want to get involved with shit politics, or be in the middle of who knows what kind of Ancient Witches are in your country, not to mention some Martial Arts Demons in Asia, I'd rather stay here having fun and peace!

If millions die, what a shame, but it's not my problem, I've already saved a few billions and that's it, I'm not obliged to save the world, just as you are not obliged to give all your knowledge to the rest of the world!" - Juri laughed and began to stretch.

"So what you want is our magical knowledge?" - Asked Merlin.

"Like I said, I want to see how much better my Magic is compared to yours, then I'll test it with the Asians, so what's in it for me?" - Said Juri yawning.

"How about showing me some of what you claim to have taught yourself? I'm really curious!" Merlin smiled as he asked.

Juri thought, then extending a foot, soon a magic circle appeared, which made Merlin widen his eyes and then a lightning bolt came towards her.

Merlin reached out and Mana scattered, before dispelling Juri's magic.

"That… what were those Runes? I have never seen anything so… magnificent before!" - Merlin began to breathe heavily, full of excitement.

"Something I created to concentrate and amplify my control of her Mana and Elements..."-Said Juri waving her finger and a [Fire] Rune appeared in the air, which began to burn in flames.

Merlin and the other mages looked at it in amazement, they didn't understand what it meant, but they could feel the power contained in this Rune, as well as its depth.

"Are you telling me you taught yourself?" - Merlin asked disconcerted.

"Something like!" - Said Juri yawning.

Merlin took a deep breath, this is just too impressive.

"You have something so powerful, why do you want our Magic and Spells?" - Asked Merlin.

"Because I want to get stronger, would there be another reason?" - Jury snorted.

"I admit that I am impressed with your talents, developing a magical language of your own, likely to be on par with the Fairies or even the Ancient Elements… would you be interested in being a guest in my country? I guarantee you the protection and information you want!" - Merlin said with a certain fanaticism in his tone.

Juri raised an eyebrow and asked. - "Hey old man, didn't you come here because of the [Towers], already wanting to steal me from this Continent? Dream on, I like it here!"

Merlin then remembered what he came for, so he started coughing and calming down.

"Yes, I apologize, it's just been a long time since anything interested me and… I really want to trade on your knowledge of Magic and these impressive Magic Runes, but well, let's cut to the chase!" - Merlin took a deep breath and continued.

"The European Continent is suffering many casualties and if this continues, it is likely that we will not be able to withstand it, even more so with some of the seals imposed on Ancient Demons constantly being undone, which I believe will soon reach other Continents and I assure you, you will not want to face these Devils!" - Said Merlin seriously.

"Demons… interesting, well, since the great Wizard Merlin of legend is real, demons must be too!" - Said Juri shrugging.

"Yes, they are real and immortal, just as dangerous as Paranormal Entities, so the best method of dealing with them is to seal them away!" - Said Merlin.

"I understand, but it's none of my business, if they dare to come here, I'll personally deal with them, I wonder if a Demon could withstand a million thunderbolts charring it!" - Juri said genuinely thoughtful.

Merlin was quiet for a while, but then he continued. - "We are willing to negotiate for methods of practicing our Knights' Mana, teaching [Combat Aura] and [Magic Weaponry Techniques], as well as accepting 1,000 talented people into our schools, to learn Magic for 5 years, before to send them all back, if, of course, they wish!"

"Hmmm, I found these names interesting, one question, is this [Combat Aura] similar to this one?" - Asked Juri activating her own Aura.

Merlin was amazed when he saw this.

"Do you have Chi and Aura?" - Merlin shuddered to ask.

"Yes, I almost died, but it's not a big deal!" - Juri said carefree, leaving Merlin speechless.

"So, is this [Combat Aura] similar to what I showed you?" - Jury asked.

"Yes, but at the same time not..." - Merlin then looked at a standing old man who didn't say anything until now.

He went ahead and soon a reddish aura enveloped his body.

Juri watched, feeling the old man's aura increase significantly.

Juri was curious and asked. - "Do you have any books with you, I want to take a look!"

Merlin grabbed something from his robes, as if prepared, then tossed it to Juri.

"It's the incomplete method, just to be clear!" - Added Merlin.

Juri didn't bother, she flipped through the pages, quickly understanding the [Combat Aura].

"Wow, what a great piece of shit!" - Said Juri throwing the book back to Merlin, the knight who demonstrated the [Combat Aura] frowning.

"Even though I haven't seen the full technique, I know it's ineffective shit, just putting useless effort into the muscles!" - Juri snorted, this was actually something like [Mana Strengthening].

Something that, in your opinion, will fixedly increase certain physical abilities, since [Magic Strength] or [Aura] is something related to percentage.

"I developed something similar, but it's like a Magic, see!" - Said Juri pointing to the knight and throwing him a [Mana Strengthening].

"What? This…" - The knight was shocked, even though he wasn't as powerful as his [Combat Aura], it was still quite impressive.

Merlin was also shocked, it's one thing to cast healing spells and even some defensive support, but he's never heard of anything other than demonic that strengthens the physical capabilities of others.

"It's pretty much the same principles as what I created, even if it's a little stronger, I think it should probably create a kind of core with its Mana, so that the body can exert more and more power, it's pretty simple, but damn, a lot. inefficient!" - Juri snorted and looked at Robert.

"Show them what you learned!" - Juri said.

Robert who had been silent the whole time nodded, then activated [Magic Force].

"This I call [Magical Strength], a stage before being able to use the true [Aura], unlike that sleazy and disgusting thing of yours, [Magic Strength] strengthens the wielder's physique by a certain percentage, while keeping the body very strong and healthy, just perfect, your rubbish technique doesn't compare!

And if you're lucky and meet the requirements, you can develop the [Aura] which is much more malleable and can evolve a lot and even make it something more solid, I haven't reached that level yet, I'm a genius who has a lot of things in mind, but it won't take long anyway!" - Said Juri huffing.

Merlin and his people were silent, even a little embarrassed.

"Now give me this [Magic Armament] thing, that looks interesting to me, if it's what I think it is, then we'll have something to negotiate, as for your Magic, I'll have to see for myself, but give me something complete, since if I'm right, it can only be used with your [Combat Aura]." - Juri said impatiently.

Merlin closed his eyes, then tossed a thicker book to Juri.

Juri picked it up and saw the cover: Magic Armaments!

She could learn, but she didn't and she opened the book, took a look and within the first few pages she was quite interested.

"Now that is something interesting… God, why didn't I think of that?!" -Juri was very impressed with what she discovered, finally giving some pride to the Europeans.

"As I expected, this [Combat Aura] of yours creates a kind of core that naturally converts Mana and Vitality into [Combat Aura], so one can utilize it to take some kind of more solid form, a weapon or armor… really interesting and the stronger the knight is, the more powerful this weapon is… I wonder who the genius was who created this, even with something so flawed as a base, it just goes to show that this person is a colossal talent!" - Said Juri really amazed.

She despised the [Combat Aura] for being such a simple thing, even though that core interested her, she noted that it's something like the [Mana Core], only specifically made for that [Combat Aura] which is quite deficient.

But this [Magic Armament], simply molds the [Aura Core], turning it into a magical weapon that can be summoned.

It's pretty much like having a weapon at any time, just spend a little Mana to summon it and that's it!

And the stronger the knight, the more powerful his [Magic Armament] will be, Juri saw notes stating that in advanced stages, the knight can even be covered in magical armor!

Juri searched for the author's name and saw that… it was Merlin…

"Did you create this?" - Jury asked.

"Surprise?" - Merlin smiled with some pride.

"Who created the [Combat Aura], was it you too?" - Jury asked.

"No, this is much older than my time, but my old friend Arthur improved it and with her help, I developed the [Magic Weaponry] based on some spells and knowledge of Magic, I'm glad you liked it." - Said Merlin smiling.

"It pleased me very much, I am willing to hand over the method of practicing [Magic Strength] for this [Combat Aura] and [Magic Weaponry] of yours, what do you say?" - Asked Juri smiling.

Merlin raised an eyebrow.

"But here we are giving 2 things, you only 1!" - One of the wizards said snorting.

"Hey, I don't want your [Combat Aura] garbage full of glitches and errors, inefficient garbage! But unfortunately, this little beauty here was made in a way that should be practiced by [Combat Aura], so I want to see what I can do and convert things." - Said Juri huffing.

"Accepted!" - Merlin said without hesitation.

Juri nodded and tossed Merlin a book, which raised an eyebrow, as Juri snatched it out of mid-air!

"Don't ask, I won't answer!" - Juri said seeing the doubt in his eyes, Merlin was silent.

Merlin then looked at the book, opened it and took a look, his eyes widening, he swallowed his saliva, then realized, this is just the basics!

He now understood why Juri insulted [Combat Aura] so much, compared to this here, which can strengthen the body and still has effects of amplifying physical capabilities, from a method not harmful to the body, it actually stokes the physical potential to exert. even more power!

It could be said that it's like utilizing 100% of your physical capacity, something that even the most trained humans can only exert around 65~85% of that at the best of times.

This [Magic Strength] allows you to close this gap using Mana in a unique way, naturally it will take a lot of practice and adaptation, but in itself it is something very efficient, if this is given to the Knights, it is likely that their strength will more than double!

Merlin didn't hesitate and took out the complete [Combat Aura] book, throwing it to Juri who kept it.

"Now, let's talk about your MAGIC!" Jury smiled.

"I understand that it will likely be our schools' Magical Knowledge, in exchange for the [Towers], am I correct?" - Asked Merlin.

"Exactly!" - Juri smiled, but it certainly wasn't all.

"I will allow you to choose 50 Cities on your Continent for me to build the necessary amount of [Towers] to absorb the Negative Energy, my time is precious and probably the Asians will go crazy wanting my presence!" Jury smiled.

Merlin said nothing and let her continue.

"But I know you wouldn't be willing to give away the best things in your possession, so let's do it this way, I want you to stay here and bring the best magical things you have, open a school of magic and teach alongside who knows how many teachers bring you for 10 years, in return I will teach you my Magic!" Jury smiled.

"Which?! Do you dare?!" - Roared one of the disciples furiously.

The knight behind was already summoning his [Magic Weapon], a sword that caught Juri's attention.

Merlin held out his hand, silencing everyone.

"Why do you want my presence here?" - Asked Merlin.

"Because you have created something as interesting as this, I think it will be interesting to have someone with intellect and talents almost on my level to talk to, but I don't want to do that on your continent, as I hate politics and from what Robert here informed me, likely to become If I stayed where you are, a bunch of annoying people would come and lick my balls trying to recruit me!" - Said Juri huffing.

"So why don't you want to be bothered by politicians, you want me to leave my home to live here for 10 years? So how do you open a magic school here?" Merlin narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, we can learn from each other and I guarantee you that the Order won't bother you and..." - Juri smiled and at that moment let her Mana exhale.

Merlin's eyes widened, he felt like he was looking at a demon, because only demons have such an absurd amount of Mana inside their bodies.

"I think I can help you increase your meager Mana capacity by a few dozen times, what do you say?" Jury smiled.

Merlin looked into Juri's eyes, the Mana still overflowing and even suffocating!

He closed his eyes thoughtfully, then a light laugh came from her lips and he said. - "Cheeky girl, I agree, know that this old man will disturb you a lot!"

"Oh yes!" - Juri laughed and the people beside Merlin were indignant and raised their voices.

Robert didn't know whether to laugh or cry, a school of magic will open somewhere as yet undefined, which is good.

But now Merlin, an old monster that is at least 500 years old, will live on your Continent, Juri practically stole the old man from Europe in a matter of minutes, what logic is that?

Of course, old monsters like Merlin naturally disconnected from political affairs a long time ago, focusing instead on their studies and learning, just like their disciples and heirs.

For Merlin, patriotism is not that important, of course, it is still very important, but it has lost its value in the face of his curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Juri is showing many interesting things and Merlin a powerful wizard who has lived for centuries, where his curiosity is hardly piqued, he was attracted and naturally he won't let it go!

Even if this could be seen as betrayal, Merlin doesn't care, given our borders and knowledge, what does a disgruntled King or Queen matter?

And it's not like it's permanent, if Juri asked him to betray his homeland and leave behind everything he fought to conquer, he would refuse without hesitation, he might even attack Juri.

But it's only 10 years, for someone who lived at least 5 centuries, that's practically nothing!

Not to mention you'll learn a lot too!
