Chapter 616: 198. Strong Fusion Coins

At the same time that Noland Lee was busy investigating the bounty task for spies, Nelly, the receptionist responsible for island sales, flew to an island within the Inner Circle of the Suman Archipelago.

She landed on the outermost point of the island and handed the money and contract for selling three islands to the Magic Servant on the island before turning around and flying back to the Trade District in the City of Suman.

The Magic Servant, clad in magic metal armor, carrying a magic pouch filled with coins and the contract, moved towards the slightly dilapidated ancient castle on the island.

“Clank, clank…” The Magic Servant’s steps were heavy, each one producing the collision sound of metal plates.

It arrived at the entrance of the castle and pushed open the side door with a squeak, navigating through the candle-lit enclosed corridor.

About two minutes later, light appeared at the end of the passage, and a magic training room that occasionally emitted sparks was waiting for it.

Inside the magic training room, an old man was helping a young witch with her casting actions.

“Crack…” A faint spark sprouted in the direction pointed by the magic wand, leaving a barely noticeable scorch mark on the wall.

“Miss, when invoking the mana in the magic wand, you need to have the correct casting posture first. Your right arm’s movement was slightly distorted just now.”

“Okay, Kaiden, I’ll try again…” The rather youthful-looking miss was less than 1.5 meters tall and thin. Her light red magic robe was a bit too large, the hem almost dragging on the ground.

She looked at the Magic Servant that was coming along the walkway. Her eyes fell on the magic pouch in its hand, and she blinked.

She recognized the pattern on the magic pouch; it was the emblem of the Island Exchange.

That earlier “Flame Missile” had lost its due accuracy as the footsteps in the hallway distracted the young spell-caster.

The old butler waved his hand, directing the Magic Servant that had entered the magic training room to stand against the wall:

“Focus, Miss. I know a Magic Servant has arrived. I’ll handle it. Now, let’s get back to class. We’ll deal with other matters after we’ve completed today’s magic wand training, alright?”

“Oh, ok. Kaiden, it’s only the two of us here. Just call me Sienna.” The young spell-caster gripped her magic wand, pointing towards the magic target.

The old butler, Kaiden, had a full head of white hair. He looked to be over seventy but was very hardy with a straight back. He was much taller than the less than 1.5 meters tall miss.

He smiled kindly and gently shook his head, saying:

“You are now 12 years old, Miss. After completing Magic Enlightenment, you formally possess the qualification to inherit the family head position. Although you’re ranked after the twentieth in line to succeed, it doesn’t prevent me from treating you as a qualified family successor. No matter whether outsiders are present or not, I’ll always address you as ‘Miss’.”

Sienna pursed her lips and pouted a little, “Okay. I understand.”

“Please continue.” Kaiden pointed towards the magic target on the wall.

Sienna calmed herself, her cute nose illuminated by the fireball on the magic wand. When the heat of the fireball was slightly scorching, she extended her arm forward and released the long-accumulated “Flame Missile”.

The fireball, about the size of an adult’s fist, razed a tail of flames, and with a bang, it hit the magic target, exploding into splendid sparks with a diameter of more than half a meter.

The magic target shook from the impact of the flames, and the magic characters “67 points” appeared in the center of the target.

“Please try again, Miss. This time let the Fireball stay at the tip of the magic wand for a longer time before firing it out. You need to get used to the heat brought by the Fireball so that you can become a qualified Fire Element Wizard.” Kaiden patiently advised.

The term “Fire Element Wizard” seemed to touch Sienna’s sore spot, her expression darkened, and her arms dropped weakly:

“Why do I have a talent for fire element magic, Kaiden? Was there something wrong with the crystal that detects magic aptitude? As a member of the Pangula Family, shouldn’t I have talents in geotechnical and metal magic?”

Kaiden said gently:

“Don’t be discouraged, Miss. Not having talents in metal and geotechnical magic indeed made you lose many rights to the islands during your 12th birthday ceremony. But only having talent in fire element magic isn’t a bad thing. It can help you focus on the realm of fire and achieve success faster. Even if you can’t secure a place in the Pangula Family in the future, you can still rise in Hotams or other wizard forces. Now, please continue with your training. We still have a lot of training tasks to complete today.”

“Oh… okay…”

Sienna nodded, took control of her emotions, and raised her magic wand again.

The magic training room was filled with flickering firelight, which didn’t stop until it was time for lunch that day.

Sienna wiped off the sweat beads on her cheek with a towel and let down her ponytail that was tied behind her head.

Kaiden beckoned the Magic Servant standing at the corner of the wall to come over, opened the magic pouch in its hand, and took out the coins and contract from it.

“Good news, Miss. Before the family transferred the ownership of Snow Mountain Island 1 to you, your brother emptied out the resources on the island. We initially thought that Snow Mountain Island 1 would be hard to sell because of this. Now it seems, we’re in luck; a buyer has taken over this island that’s devoid of resources.”

Kaiden curled up the corner of his mouth, passing the contract to Sienna:
