A Wizard’s Secret

The Fossil Museum did not look very grand outside but it was decorated very luxuriously inside. The hall was extremely large, even larger than the hall of Count Stanwin’s manor.

There were some giant skeletons in the hall. These were the legendary almighty beasts. Back when people had not been born yet, these almighty beasts dominated the entire world.

Merlin looked around the hall. He recognized most of these almighty beast fossils due to “Leon’s” memory.

Perhaps it was because Leon could not inherit the almighty beast bloodline but was eager for power that he became infatuated with the legends of almighty beasts. He was also very interested in almighty beast fossils. Therefore, Leon often came to the Fossil Museum, and was very familiar with the almighty beast fossils here.

“Master Leon, you’re here!”

An old man with an unshaven beard appeared in the hall. He was dressed in a mink coat and had a very clean body.

“Curator Heroult.”

Merlin bowed slightly. Curator Heroult came from the capital of the Holy Dragon Empire, and ran the Fossil Museum. His origin was also very mysterious, and no one knew who he was. However, he had stayed in Boulder City for more than ten years.

“Master Leon, I heard there was an accident at the Count’s manor a few days ago, and you were stabbed by the Blackbat Militia. How’s your injury now?”

This seemingly neat old man asked softly.

“It’s no big deal. I’m almost completely healed. By the way, Curator Heroult, I heard that some new almighty beast fossils have been added to your Fossil Museum. Is that true?”

Merlin looked at the hall. These were all almighty beast fossils that he knew and were nothing special. Even with his keen perception, he could not sense anything.

Curator Heroult smiled and nodded. “Yes, I recently obtained some new almighty beast fossils. This batch of almighty beast fossils isn’t ordinary. If Master Leon is interested, please follow me!”

“Oh? Is there anything different about them?”

Merlin was also a little curious after seeing Curator Heroult’s mysterious behavior. Apart from being larger, he could not see these legendary almighty beasts once possessed just by looking at their fossils.

After all, in the myths of the Almighty Beast World, all legends were about almighty beasts. Even the people were descendants who inherited the almighty beast bloodline.

Curator Heroult did not answer directly but took Merlin into a small room in the hall instead. There, the ground was full of white tiles, and beautiful crystal ornaments hung on the walls. The candles were also covered in glassware, making the room very bright.

“Master Leon, these are the almighty beast fossils!”

When Merlin entered the room, he immediately felt something off. There seemed to be a faint roar that echoed in his ears. His keen perception felt that this room was different.

There was a faint feeling of threat, making Merlin stand on guard.

“An almighty beast fossil!”

Merlin saw that in the middle of the room, numerous huge bones formed a monstrous almighty beast the length of tens of meters with two heads. From the fossil, he could see that the almighty beast had rows of sharp teeth.

However, this was not what was most unique. What was most unique was the back of this almighty beast where there were two huge wings. This was a flying almighty beast.

Flying almighty beasts were very rare. Such almighty beasts had unique advantages in ancient times. They could soar in the sky, and were considered extremely ferocious predator almighty beasts.

However, Merlin had no idea how to appreciate this flying almighty beast. His attention was focused on the skeleton of the fossil, which seemed to contain a violent will that roared incessantly.

An average person might not be able to sense it. After all, it seemed like there was a big difference between the people of this world and the beings in the Void Zone. There was no one here who had or was born with Mind Power, so it was difficult to sense the subtle fluctuations.

There might be other special methods to sense it but Merlin did not know about them now. However, he seemed to sense a sound like the almighty beast’s roar but the almighty beast in front of him was a fossil.

Seeing Merlin’s changing expression, standing to the side, Curator Heroult’s expression also changed slightly. A strange glint flashed across his smiling eyes.

“Master Leon, how do you feel?”

Merlin raised his head, and glanced at Curator Heroult. This almighty beast fossil was made by this old man, so he must know its special features.

“Nothing much, just a little strange. Flying almighty beasts are very rare. What kind of almighty beast is this?”

Curator Heroult had a meaningful look in his eyes as he said slowly, “This almighty beast is called the Two-headed Pterolycus. It’s an extremely powerful, cruel, and cunning almighty beast. The two wings on its back are only found on a fully grown Two-headed Pterolycus.”

Curator Heroult briefly introduced the almighty beast fossil. The Two-headed Pterolycus was a relatively powerful almighty beast but it was far from the top. However, once it matured, it grew wings and could soar in the sky. The Two-headed Pterolycus would become extremely strong and could be regarded as the most powerful almighty beast.

It was much stronger than the Hilderbrandt clan’s Deinosuchus bloodline. After all, the Hilderbrandt clan’s Deinosuchus bloodline was only roughly equivalent to a relatively powerful almighty beast bloodline.

As if seeing Merlin’s interest, Curator Heroult continued. “Master Leon, in ancient times, the Two-headed Pterolycus was very powerful, especially a matured Two-headed Pterolycus. It’s much more powerful than the Deinosuchus bloodline of your Hilderbrandt clan. Unfortunately, the bloodline of the Two-headed Pterolycus has been cut off for some reason, and no clan or person has been heard of having the bloodline of the Two-headed Pterolycus.”

Curator Heroult shook his head regretfully. Although there were many clans and some ordinary people possessed almighty beast bloodlines, there were too many almighty beasts. Furthermore, because of unknown reasons, many powerful almighty beast bloodlines had not been inherited.

One such example was the Two-headed Pterolycus. No one had inherited the Two-headed Pterolycus bloodline.

“So, it’s called the Two-headed Pterolycus… It does appear to be a relatively fearsome almighty beast. Curator Heroult, I like this fossil very much. Could I take it back and watch it for a few days? I’ll certainly send it back to you in the future.”

Merlin asked casually but he was already making plans in his heart. Earlier, he felt this fossil send out a strange force as if it was an almighty beast’s roar.

Merlin found it strange, so he wanted to bring the fossil back to the Count’s manor. After careful observation, he might find something unexpected.

“Oh? Master Leon seems very interested in this Two-headed Pterolycus fossil?”

Curator Heroult asked calmly but his deep eyes seemed to see through Merlin’s thoughts.

“Curator Heroult, can I take this fossil?”

Merlin still wanted to take this fossil.

“You can, but Master Leon, you must tell me the truth. How do you feel? Did you hear the almighty beast’s roar?”

The smile on Curator Heroult’s face had completely disappeared and was replaced with a very solemn expression.
