Watson made a wish as he twisted the Wish for the World ring on his finger and fused the world tree branches that grew on his palm. He fused and tossed the diamond-tier Crystal World Tree Staff. When the staff dropped onto the ground, it instantly took root, sprouting diamond-shaped branches and leaves that rustled in the wind.

More than ten diamond trees had sprouted from the ground in a short amount of time. That was not the end of the story. At the same time, Watson fused a Wish for the World ring. In a short period, he had created more than a hundred Wish for the World rings. Antonio twitched as if he had been electrocuted. His expression s.h.i.+fted between old and youthful, and he rolled his eyes.

“Is that for real? Young Master Watson is making a platinum-tier item. That is a platinum-tier item, right?”

A person in Blackmoon Town had just received the ring; he examined the ring in his palm and the energy it contained. He could not believe it.

He was only a refugee who could not survive the winter; he had chosen to flee. He did not have any clothes a month ago, and he still did not even have enough food to eat every day. He had no idea he would get a rare platinum-tier item in the kingdom. What kind of skill was that?

Many other people felt the same way he did. The platinum-tier Wish for the World rings flew from Watson’s side into each intended refugee’s hand. They were ecstatic, and then they knelt in grat.i.tude. They thanked Watson repeatedly until they were numb.

They knew that it was a simple thing for Watson to fuse the Wish for the World rings. Then he had used the ring to get the Shadow of the World Tree. He immediately threw the peak platinum-tier objects to the ground, and a ma.s.sive tree grew toward the sky. The sun and moon gems, the two types of fruit, were abundant on the tree. There was a faint shadow of a great sin beast streaking across it.

The Shadow of the World Tree, which Watson had used as his trump card, was only an ordinary tree to him. It was no wonder that he had thrown all the diamond-tier items. The Pen of Truth had said that the diamond-tier magic staff Watson had created would be one of the strongest staff in the future. It seemed that they had expected that scene.

The diamond-tier staff next to Watson fell from the sky like a rain of platinum-tier rings or other items. It was a crazy sight, and one might call that a miracle.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was probably Antonio. Not only did he roll his eyes, but he was even foaming at the mouth.

In the forest nearby Monte Town.

A team carefully exited the town’s east gate; it consisted of two carriages. Guards in silver-tier armor and swords stood outside those carriages. The guards were city hall’s finest, and the persons they were guarding were quite self-evident—it was Gerant.

Gerant sat in the carriage at the back as he stared at the black rat opposite him with a puzzled face. “Sir Rat, I have already brought you the money you requested. I am willing to go to Blackmoon Castle to get supplies and have someone deliver the letter. Can you let me go?”

“I’ll let you go when we reach Blackmoon Castle. But before that, you’d better stay here obediently.”

When the rat looked at Gerant, a frightening atmosphere erupted in the carriage; it caused Gerant to tremble unconsciously. The rat said, “And do not address me as Sir Rat. It bothers me. I have a name—Moriarty.”

“Yes, Sir Rat…I mean, Sir Moriarty.”

Gerant wiped his hands uncomfortably and responded with an awkward smile.

He had intended to trap that rat when he arrived at Blackmoon Castle, at which point he would no longer have to worry about it. However, the rat was quite cautious and even allowed him to travel with him. What if the rat went to Blackmoon Castle and wreaked havoc? Gerant was concerned about what would happen if the Blackmoon Castle blamed him for the incident.

Moriarty stretched a claw outward and waved it as if he did not feel the ripples in his heart. “Tell me everything there is to know about Blackmoon Castle, such as how much property they have, about the castle guards, and so on.”

He gathered his thoughts and a.s.sumed a courteous demeanor. He continued to tell his story. “I know very little about Blackmoon Town. I have only met Zeke, Zenoah, and Young Master Peter. They say that Watson has exceptional talent. Antonio, the kingdom’s greatest mage, valued him generously and welcomed him as a disciple! Aside from that, Blackmoon Castle has the Blackmoon Knights; all of them are gold-tier warriors. They also have formidable mages. Watson controls the Mage Guild and the mercenary group in Monte town.”

Gerant cast a glance at Moriarty and discovered that he had no intention of interrupting him. So, he continued to say, “Those are Blackmoon Castle’s defending forces. When it comes to resources, they have a plethora of silver and gold-tier items. There are numerous magical beasts of the same rank too! I heard that Blackmoon Castle had mastered a material-fusing spell. They even use it to combine a real dragon and a Phoenix.”

“I understand.” Moriarty nodded his rat head.

Gerant’s statement confirmed what he already knew. Watson had used a fusion spell to remove the Demon’s Blood and Purgatory Skeleton from his body and fused them into a complete h.e.l.l Baron. That magic also destroyed his original body.

“It appears that Blackmoon Castle guards are not as powerful as I imagined. Those guards are gold-tier elites. It is not easy for some of the great n.o.bles, but it is nothing to me.”

Moriarty reasoned inwardly. He wanted to kill Watson for vengeance, but he also wanted the fusion spell from his grasp. That spell would allow him to rise to the apex of the realm.

The corners of Moriarty’s mouth curved into a proud arc. He straightened his body and looked at the scenery outside the window. He estimated that he would arrive at Blackmoon Town in more than a day.

The faint cries of the goldbiter rats he controlled could be heard in the woods and mountains outside the window.

At the banquet hall in Blackmoon Castle.

Blackmoon Town was not the same as it had been before that. There were hundreds of flouris.h.i.+ng tall antique trees throughout the village; they surrounded the houses made of giant rock golems. There were a few larger trees that appeared to be made of diamonds. The diamond-shaped leaves on them collided with the wind to produce a clear and melodic sound.

The dragon was enveloped by a nebula and clad in diamond-tier armor. It was more than 200 meters long; it laid on a tree. A significantly smaller Frost Phoenix stood on another diamond tree opposite it. There were 100 platinum-colored Phoenix eggs in the nest that had been fas.h.i.+oned into a castle. The White Holy Fire was ablaze on them, and they could hear the faint sound of a Phoenix.

A group of people with extraordinary reputations, dressed in servants’ clothing, stood under the tree. They had scissors and wooden basins; they were ready to retrieve the Phoenix eggs on the branches. Those people were part of the 100,000 refugees who had joined Blackmoon Town. All of them had a Wish for the World ring on their finger.

Watson had just spent a few hours fusing 100 diamond-tier Crystal World Tree staffs, thousands of Shadow of the World Tree, and finally hundreds of thousands of the Wish for the World rings. Antonio did not stop until his face was swollen with anguish, and he could not endure it any longer.

Everyone in Blackmoon Town had the Wish for the World ring. Some of them desired to be attractive, while others wanted to be wealthy and powerful. In any event, they would get three wishes every day. It was alright as long as they did not make any stupid wishes that would prove too expensive for payment.

After a wave of wishes, the people in Blackmoon Town were all different.

One could only see handsome men and beautiful women there. They were all in black uniforms with a moon emblazoned on them. Some of them had previously worked as maids at Blackmoon Castle. They looked serene and graceful, and their movements were those of a well-educated aristocrat. That had something to do with their desire to enhance their professionalism.

Blackmoon Town was a place of hope and laughter as well as attractive men and women. It was one of the best and most beautiful towns in the world.
