Phantom Dragon Belt

Upon entering the Agency, Charlotte saw Iruka instructing Temari on local customs, so Charlotte didn't disturb them and went directly to the Practice Room.

Charlotte pushed open the door to the Practice Room and went straight inside.

"Master, I'm back!"

Balthazar nodded. During this time, he had watched two combat videos of Charlotte on his tablet and discovered that his apprentice's strength was much greater than he had imagined.

Even in close combat, he is very similar to his master Merlin, both being Mage with exceptionally strong close-combat abilities.

"I already have a general understanding of your strength, and you have already developed your own fighting style, so I will no longer teach you the way I taught Dave."

"The Magic Grimoire I gave you contains many spells, including Mirror Magic, Magic Mirror Prison, Grimhold, Magic Missile, Polymorph, and many others. You can study it on your own, and come ask me if you encounter anything you don't understand."

Hearing Balthazar's words, Charlotte nodded, not asking him to teach her the same way he taught Dave.

After all, their progress was completely different, and if he were to practice on the sidelines, it would likely be quite discouraging for Dave. So he turned around and left to go back to his room to continue reading the magic book and catch up on what he had learned the night before.

Seeing Charlotte about to leave, Dave immediately asked, "Senior, a female friend of mine is coming to visit me tomorrow. Can she come in?"

Hearing Dave's words, Charlotte smiled and said, "No problem, you can just bring her in. The security guards at the door won't stop her."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Charlotte smiled, said nothing more, and left the Practice Room, returning to her room.

Back in her room, Charlotte had just sat down and hadn't even taken out her Magic Book to look through it when the phone rang.

Charlotte pulled out her phone and saw that the caller ID showed Kingpin. She was a little surprised; this guy hadn't contacted her in a long time.

The call connected, Kingpin's voice came through the phone.

"Hi Charlotte, it's been a long time."

"Kingpin, it's been a while since we've been in touch. How's the market share in the Japan going?"

Kingpin's hearty laughter came through the phone, and he continued, "I still want to thank you for taking down the leaders of the Yakuza and the Hand Society, which made things much easier for me when I was taking over the underground forces here."

"I'm calling to let you know that the generous gift I promised you is ready. I'll bring it with me when I return to New York and deliver it to you."

Charlotte smiled and said, "It's a win-win situation. I'll think of you next time something like this happens."

"Then I won't say any more. I should be able to get to New York in about a week. Just wait for my good news."

"OK!"

Charlotte hung up the phone and put it aside, thinking to herself that Kingpin must have seen today's press conference to have called her in advance.

This guy...

He then stopped thinking about Kingpin. As for what the generous gift was, he would find out Kingpin arrived.

He took out the spellbook from his Storage Space, but then remembered that he hadn't yet studied the magical equipment he had obtained from killing Horvath yesterday, so he put the book aside and took out the magic belt with dragon-shaped patterns.

Charlotte took out the magic belt and looked at the dragon pattern on it. She found that although it was carved with an oriental dragon, the creature that the other party summoned was a strange creature.

Using her acquired magical knowledge, Charlotte channeled Chakra into the magical equipment through the Dragon Ring, quickly obtaining all its information.

Phantom Dragon Belt: Mid-tier magic equipment.

It can transform dragon-shaped objects or things into a giant dragon to attack; the dragon's strength varies depending on the amount of magic power input.

The summoned dragon only knows one move besides physical attacks: dragon breath.

Seeing that this magical equipment only had this many functions, Charlotte shook her head in disappointment. Thinking of the Magic Dragon that Horvath summoned, which was not only ugly but also not very strong, even weaker than the Blue Snake, she gave up the idea of keeping it.

Charlotte placed her hand on the magical equipment, and a system notification immediately appeared.

Ding! Items available for recharge have been found. Do you wish to recharge?

Top up!

Ding! Top-up successful. You have received 1000 Gold Coin.

Charlotte was somewhat surprised to hear that 1,000 Gold Coin had been recharged. She hadn't expected that she had underestimated this magical item; it was actually quite valuable.

It seems he needs to collect more magical items; their value is somewhat beyond his expectations.

Charlotte was unaware that although this magical item was only of mid-grade, it had been forged with the soul of a young dragon, which was why the amount she paid for it was so high.

Seeing that her Gold Coin coins had returned to 9904, Charlotte clapped her hands in satisfaction, then looked at the Dragon Ring on her hand, quite curious about its value.

Charlotte shook her head, dismissing the thought, and then opened the Magic Book to study it intently.

On the other side.

Selene and Michael led Team Kakashi to the base of the Vampire Northern Europe Branch.

Looking at the castle before her, Selene said, "This castle is home to a large number of Vampire from the Northern Europe Branch, but currently only a small portion of Vampire inside."

"Most Vampire are scattered throughout the city's Safe House; they haven't gathered here."

"News of the deaths of the three Elder has spread throughout the Vampire clans, and I have become a wanted criminal."

"My suggestion is not to attack the castle directly, but to send a few people to guard it, preventing those inside from coming out, but allowing those outside to enter."

"Sending one or two people to the Safe House outside to wipe out Vampire would maximize the chances of killing them."

"Once we destroy this castle, the Vampire outside will scatter like birds and beasts, and it will be very difficult to find them again, just like the Vampire in London."

"In reality, you didn't even kill half of the vampires in London. Many weaker Vampire didn't return to the castle."

Hearing Selene's suggestion, Kakashi nodded, looked at the castle in front of him, and then ordered, "Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki Rock Lee, and Michael, the four of you will follow Sasuke's orders and guard the castle here."

"No Vampire are allowed to leave, but people from outside are allowed to come in."
