[Great Mage Merlin seemed to be about to make a move again... Why aren't you all throwing your votes at him? Great Mage Merlin had always been ruthless and vicious. Those who didn't vote, hehe, would be turned to ash!]
"Great Mage Lorinka."
Merlin approached the familiar figure and called out softly.
"Oh? Great Mage Merlin, you came to take a mission too?"
Lorinka turned around and, upon seeing Merlin, a trace of surprise appeared on her face. In her view, Merlin had only been in the Dark Spirit Domain for half a year; he shouldn't have been in such a hurry to take missions.
Merlin nodded and said somewhat helplessly, "Yes, I don't have enough Contribution Points. I need to start preparing to construct a First-Level Spell, but the First-Level Spells in the Tower of Myriad Phenomena require far too many Contribution Points, so I could only come here and see what missions were available."
After a pause, Merlin studied Lorinka closely and noticed her tightly furrowed brow, as though a shadow of melancholy lingered there. He asked quietly, "Great Mage Lorinka, have you made up your mind to construct a First-Level Spell?"
Merlin knew that Lorinka had been in the Dark Spirit Domain for nearly three years. If she still didn't construct a First-Level Spell, she would be sent out of the Dark Spirit Domain. That was why he asked.
Lorinka nodded, her expression grave as she said in a low voice, "In less than a month, it will have been three years since I entered the Dark Spirit Domain. If I still don't advance to become a First-level Spellcaster, I'll be sent out of the Dark Spirit Domain. No matter what, I have to give it a try this time. But I don't have enough Contribution Points
