I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 99

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Overwhelmingly Powerful

“Your idea is incredible! Your mind is truly kissed by the Divine…”

“By the Goddess above, how did you think to set this Magic Node here? It's unbelievable!”

“This reverse-running node is simply perfect. Praise the Magic Goddess, even the women of Jasmine Street aren't this perfect…”

After Lide revealed his improved Mage's Hand, Spark looked at him as if he were seeing a species from a Different Plane, completely dropping the airs of a Great Mage and bombarding him with questions.

Unable to hold back his laughter, Lide openly shared his ideas for both the concept and improvements, and sketched out all the Magic Nodes.

Upon seeing the improved Magic Model, Spark treated it like a treasure trove.

Improving magic had always been a taboo among mages, even he, a Great Mage, would not dare to try it lightly.

The risks involved were simply too great; one careless mistake could lead to idiocy.

But now, his disciple, who had only reached the level of Advanced Mage, had improved a spell, and the innovative ideas involved inspired him greatly.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“You are truly a genius, Kachar–you are the most perfect gift bestowed upon me by the Magic Goddess. Praise the Magic Goddess, praise her!”

Holding the Magic Model Map, Spark couldn't let go, his praises flowing effortlessly, a stark contrast to his initially indifferent demeanor.

At that moment, Lide truly understood the temperament of his teacher–like a child, without pretense or schemes.

“No, teacher, it was under your guidance that I made these improvements. Without those words from you, I might have spent three years submerged in the Magic World.”

Spark listened and felt greatly relieved.

“Good, very good, Kachar, your talent is indeed rare.”

After saying this, he contemplated for a moment, looked at Lide, then said firmly,

“Among mages, equivalent exchange has always been upheld. Even though you are my disciple, this Magic Model has given me great inspiration. Tell me, what do you desire?”

Lide waved his hand; his main purpose today was to reestablish contact with Spark. With Spark as a towering figure, there was no doubt his path at the Crimson Mage Tower would be smooth.

The benefits brought by Spark himself outweighed any others.

“No, Master Spark, I need nothing. You are my teacher; perhaps we shouldn't be so formal.”

After hearing this, Spark's expression softened considerably, and he felt somewhat moved.

In his lifetime, he only had three disciples. The other two had already established themselves in other parts of the Nolan Empire, and only Lide remained in Green City.

He was already over eighty years old, and although this was only half a lifespan for a Great Mage, his mentality had already shifted to that of an old man.

“I heard you've been thinking of rebuilding the Kachar family's domain?” After pondering for a while, Spark took out a book filled with Magic Fluctuations from a wooden box inside the house.

He handed it to Lide.

“Perhaps this will be useful to you; it's something I acquired when I was young. It helped me earn the fortune to establish the White Tower.

A domain isn't manageable without Gold Puck.”

Lide took the book, and surprise flickered in his eyes. Written on it in the common language of the continent was a title.

“Magic Scroll Making Skill”

“Here are ten detailed procedures for making Magic Scrolls. Even though they're all low-level spells of the first and second level, selling them to those barbarians who know nothing of spells should be sufficient.”

Spark's tone was filled with immense pride. Spellcasters are the most prestigious profession, and all other professions that lack spellcasting abilities are despised by mages.

Magic Scrolls are typically purchased by warriors and thieves.

Lide immediately saw the profit potential behind this book, “Magic Scroll Making Skill.”

What's the most lucrative in Glory World? Some might say weapons, others might argue for the slave trade, but among the most profitable industries, Magic Scrolls definitely rank in the top three.

Not only Magic Scrolls, but any item related to magic represented huge profits.

Magic Potions, Magic Arrays, and Magic Scrolls were known as the three main money-making tools for mages.

Producing Magic Potions required specific formulas and Magic Materials; Magic Blood could be considered a type of Magic Potion, the only difference being that Magic Blood was made by soaking in the remnants of Divine beings, and it could hardly be manufactured externally.

Creating a Magic Array was quite challenging, requiring a precise Magic Array Diagram and a large number of Magic Crystal Stones.

Magic Scrolls involved sealing Spells in a magic medium, most of which were the fur or hide of Demon Beasts. Tearing the Magic Scroll would release the magic stored in it during its creation.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Lide did not refuse; he indeed needed an industry that could bring massive profits, whether for the Crimson Mage Tower or Dawn City, which both needed Gold Puck.

After obtaining the “Magic Scroll Making Skill,” Lide felt a great liking for the unkempt old man–he felt a long-absent caring from this cheap teacher.

Spark Russell glared with a frown, giving him an annoyed look, and said disdainfully, “Alright, take this and scram. Seeing you irritates me; don't hinder my magic research.”

He then ignored him and happily studied the Magic Node Map of Mage's Hand.

Lide almost choked on his own blood; initially being called Little Sweetie and now Mrs. Cow, the speed of this change in address was astounding.

However, he did not take it to heart; the old man's character was straightforward and brash, wearing everything on his face.

After performing a disciple's bow slightly clasping his chest, Lide turned and left the White Tower; there were still many matters waiting for him at home.

Long after Lide had disappeared, Spark, still studying the nodes of Mage's Hand, suddenly looked up with a glint in his eyes that outsiders would hardly understand.

Turning his head towards the shadowy corner by the room's window, he spoke in a tone completely different from before.

“Dali, send a message to all the Nobles in Green City that Kachar, under my guidance, is preparing to venture into the low-end Magic Scroll industry.”

A low, cold voice emerged from the empty corner.

“Yes, Master.”

After hearing the voice, Spark did not say more, but continued looking down at the Magic Node Map on his desk, satisfaction deep in his eyes.

He did not inquire about how Lide had researched and improved upon Mage's Hand, nor did he ask what other gains Lide had achieved over the years.

He only knew that Lide was his disciple, and that was enough.

Indeed, Lide had severely underestimated the relationship between a disciple and a teacher in this world; the relationship between a teacher and a disciple was, in many ways, even more fatherly than that between a father and son.

After Lide became Spark's disciple in front of hundreds of mages, he was marked with the imprint of the White Tower.

As long as the White Tower stood, no one dared to touch the Crimson Mage Tower.

Returning to the Crimson Mage Tower, Lide heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Spark had not noticed that the original soul within him had been replaced; this, without a doubt, eased many of his concerns.

At the same time, he also found an answer as to why Winnie, an important figure in the Alex Chamber of Commerce, had befriended him.

Spark Russell

Level: 19

An attribute panel full of question marks had provided him with the answer.

His cheap teacher was approaching Transcendence, just one step away from it.
