Wizard Of Cosmos

250 - Think About The Name

- The Cooking contest final results are out. Glad all three winners are NPCs.

- New recipe book by Master Chef Ralph. All fantasy ingredients are replaced with natural ingredients to match the taste. This includes the winning dishes and it is absolutely free.

- Forging contest-winning weapons are now listed as optional gifts for the winners of the duels. They can choose these weapons as an additional gift. 

- Interview with a villager of Light Shone. Please watch, like and subscribe, it is so difficult to approach them with all the guards. Even the mayor of my spawn town didn’t have so many Grandmasters to protect him. 

- Video of Light Shone guards catching a thief. The punishment is three years mining in the Spider Mines. The thieving NPC is someone who comes from outside, and I am sure the man would be happier to die than to be in that creepy place. Jason Hope is as cruel as ever. 

“Isn’t that video about that incident?”

Frank pointed his finger at the video he saw on his subordinate's armband. 

He became familiar with the thing these aliens called forum over time. A few aliens were among the guards, and he made a good connection with them as their leader. Even though he didn’t have access to the armbands, he enjoyed watching news related to them. 

It always fascinated him to see how these aliens spoke of them and their lord. Frank heard this forum was where all the aliens in their world spoke about matters, and he loved that there were always topics about the Crystal Pulse among them. 

“That is it, Captain. I think we earned a good reputation as guards.”

“I think so too.”

Frank felt prouder than ever as he watched the video of their successful mission. This was the first time they had a case of thievery and with all the resources they had at their disposal, it only took them twenty minutes to catch the thief. 

They had many magic recording devices on the streets, and they easily collected many videos from the aliens who were recording in the area. With all these coupled with the Assassins hiding among the crowd, they soon found the culprit who had the guts to steal right under his nose. 

‘I feel bad for that guy.’

Three years in the spider mines looked similar to a living death. These spiders didn’t attack the humans, but no one can forget they were as big as sheep, and the mother spider was simply humongous. 

Even if the thief would survive, Frank felt that man would be much better off dead than working in the spider mines. Only the bravest aliens ventured into those tunnels to mine the Magic Crystals, and even they didn’t stay there for too long. As for Frank, he only saw it once up close, and it was when that creature came to greet their lord when he returned. 

Since then, Frank didn’t want to get close to it ever again. 

A mutated spider with high intelligence and bizarre abilities was enough to keep him awake at night. 

‘But it is the Lord’s judgement.’

Frank had no hesitation in following Lord Jason’s words. 

He saw Lord Jason growing from a Man who fought Elite warriors with a sword into a wizard who could freeze an army of Grandmasters in an instant. 

This was the same reason Frank didn't feel pressured when dealing with all the Grandmasters they hired to protect the natives.

He had to issue orders and handle these Adventures daily, and he felt confident knowing all these Grandmasters meant nothing to Lord Jason. Besides, they had another advantage.

The powerful training method their lord secretly granted them was the key to their future. He saw how easily Grandmaster Xanders and Grandmaster Garth suppressed the other Grandmasters. 

There was no doubt this affected all the Grandmasters who came to their village. When the competitions first started, everyone doubted if two Grandmasters could handle the battle between two Grandmasters. 

'I don't remember hearing there were any Grandmasters duel competitions. Maybe this is the reason.'

Everyone considered Grandmasters as the pinnacle of power among warriors, and even he thought it like that. That was until he saw how powerful Grandmaster Amelia was. 

Frank heard Grandmaster Xanders arguing that there wouldn't be any Grandmasters for the competition. The only reason Grandmasters came to Light Shone was the irresistible gift they prepared for the first place. 

However, after the beginning of the competition, Frank noticed how those arrogant Grandmasters slowly lost their confidence. Even the best among the contenders weren’t strong enough to challenge Grandmaster Xanders or Grandmaster Garth. 

‘Just within such a short time, I feel much stronger.’

Frank felt his advancement speed becoming faster than ever, and he felt the hope of reaching the Grandmaster level with time. However, Frank felt his aim was too shallow. When serving under an extraordinary power like Lord Jason, Grandmasters looked incredibly small. 

‘Maybe the level of Grandmaster Amelia. They say there are only three other Grandmasters like her, but I feel like it is a lie. Maybe Grandmaster Amelia is the strongest warrior in our world.’ 

No one truly knew what Grandmaster Amelia was capable of, but he thought only Lord Jason could take on Lady Amelia. 

‘I will have more time to practise after the end of the event, but our competitions will start soon. It’s a shame we can’t compete.’

Frank felt the urge to show off his skill against the other three masters, but he had to protect their village. Besides, the members of the Crystal Pulse could only engage in exhibition matches instead of real duels.

He felt the time he spent as a bandit like a distant memory, not something from a year ago. No one considered him a bandit anymore, he was the leader of the Light Shone guards, and the one responsible for the security of the entire village. A special village that gained the attention of the entire world. 

…

“Jason.”

“What is it now?”

“Eh….”

Dane felt helpless, looking at Jason’s raised eyebrow.

It was rare to see Jason out of The Endless, and he had to ask all the questions they had. After all, there were some things he couldn’t ask while they were on Yuriel.  Some of these topics were too sensitive to the natives of that world. 

“Well… Can you defeat Grandmaster Amelia?”

They presented Jason with the same question before, but Jason’s answer was negative. Since Jason’s triumphant return, all organisations that surrounded him gained a new spirit, and Grandmasters meant nothing to Jason.

However, no one knew what Amelia was truly capable of, and what was her qualification to share Jason’s deepest secrets other than being Hanna’s mother. Jason could take on dozens of Grandmasters on his own, and Jason was their greatest asset in that alien world. 

Amelia’s move on persuading him to take control wouldn’t go unnoticed by them. 

The question they had was if Amelia was using Jason, which wasn’t ideal for them.

“Amelia? There is no one stronger than her. Not even a Grand Wizard.”

“What?”

Dane looked at Jason with widened eyes, and Iris, who came to keep the appearance of the happy couple, looked at Jason with her mouth wide open. 

“Amelia is powerful enough to take on everyone on Yuriel. Don’t mess with her, she is the most powerful of them all.”

“The most powerful? If so….”

“No! Don’t get any ideas. You have no idea how big it truly is, Dane. Amelia alone is not enough, and this is not the level of information people can handle, even the natives. Revealing Amelia’s power will bring us attention we can’t handle.”

“I… Jason… How big are you talking about?”

“Think about the name.”

“The name? The Endless!”

“Yes.”

Dane failed to utter a single after listening to Jason’s answer.
