My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 222 - The Gathering At Blackmoon Town

Chapter 222: The Gathering At Blackmoon Town

Time flew by, and two days had passed.
During those two days, Watson had not been idle. He had been practicing the two special abilities he had mastered after advancing to platinum-tier. His words followed the Law of Domain.
He had a fusion system that could fuse powerful underlings or magical beasts, but those were all external objects. Power was the right path to take. Edward had explained a lot to his mother, and his mouth was nearly worn out. Finally, his mother was convinced that his father did not have an affair.
Lilith also learned a lot about human social etiquette from Capella and Wendy. At the very least, she would not do the stupid thing of taking off her clothes in public and letting people eat her.
The rest of the family had also experienced a qualitative leap in the previous two days.
The Blackmoon Knights were initially gold-tier elites. Their strength had improved by leaps and bounds since they had obtained a platinum-tier Wish for the World ring.
The ring allowed them to make three wishes every day. All the Blackmoon Knights had made nine wishes, and they only had one wish—to become stronger.
As long as they consumed a gold-tier item or ten thousand gold coins, their strength would double. The more they consumed, the stronger they would become. They could ask Watson for the gold-tier items that they had made at any time.
Watson had previously proposed a points system for the Blackmoon Knights. Those who helped build the Blackmoon Castle would be rewarded with points. The ways to earn points included, but were not limited to, capturing magical beasts and picking herbs. Points were equivalent to gold coins.
Outside of training, many Blackmoon Knights went out to hunt or even do bounty missions to earn points. As a result, they had amassed many points, notably Allen and Liszt, the captain and vice-captain.
Their points were 50,000 and 30,000, respectively. When they exchanged their points for supplies, they would become three to five times stronger.
That was not the end of it. They had been assigned two manors due to their previous meritorious service in defending against the enemy. Watson had transformed all of the town’s manors into giant rock golem houses. Every manor would have dozens of rooms. It could even be sold for more than 50,000 gold coins.
It was close to 100,000 gold coins in total. Allen and Liszt could use all of that to instantly become ten times stronger and reach the peak of the gold tier. However, the two of them could not bear the thought of parting with those coins. They had also tracked Sylvan and Antonio for two days. They were gaining advanced knowledge while they trained.
They trained with the team of mages led by Young Master Watson’s second sister, Nindy, and Nightingale and a few Shadow Guards.
Watson had also given the Wish for the World rings to those Shadow Guards. They were the best Shadow Guards in Fairy Castle. However, they were only ordinary members in Blackmoon Castle, especially Nightingale, who used to be bronze-tier. She was in the same situation as them—she trained daily without regard for her life. She was fearful of being inferior to them.
With the Wish for the World ring, the results of everyone’s training in one day were comparable to the past year’s results. That was an alarming number.
Sylvan and Antonio also attended the training. They toured Blackmoon Town while they trained the Blackmoon Knights. The floating castle in the sky was the focal point of Blackmoon Town, and the buildings were arranged in a radial pattern. The first level housed manors, gardens, and training grounds made of giant rock golems that were only used by those who lived inside Blackmoon Castle.
The second level was a warehouse used to store goods and fused items and the town where the people who had just joined Blackmoon Town lived. The streets were full of shops and houses that had just been built, and the people there wore the unique clothing of Blackmoon Town. They walked with smiles on their faces.
Outside the ring-shaped town was a grove of trees that Watson had grown with the help of the Shadow of the World Tree and the Crystal World Tree Staff. The branches were adorned with gleaming sun or moon gems, which caused people’s eyes to sparkle. Powerful magical beasts were also zipping around with items on their backs.
While they walked around town, Antonio and Sylvan would stop to admire the towering ancient or diamond trees that Watson had fused. They resembled hungry wolves looking at delicious food every time they looked at those trees; they almost drooled.
That scene made Watson laugh. There was no difference between an elite who stood at the peak of the world and an ordinary person. It was not as if elites did not have any desires, just that fewer things could tempt them.
Watson had ten Wish for the World rings. In the past two days, 30 more trees formed from the Shadow of the World Tree and the Crystal World Tree Staff had appeared in Blackmoon Town. They almost filled the inner walls of the town.
The fragrance of the two types of trees was blown into town by the wind. At the same time, their cultivation speed increased by several times.
Some might wonder, if he had the ability to make a wish, why not double everything in town or simply make a wish to duplicate Blackmoon Town? He would have two Blackmoon Towns that way.
It was a simple answer. As a peak platinum-tier item, the Wish for the World ring had its limit. It could only make one diamond-tier item at a time.
Beyond that limit, it was not something that a peak platinum-tier item could do. If one wanted to obtain more things in a wish, they would have to fuse the Wish for the World ring to a higher level.
At that moment, Watson sat on a patch of green grass, surrounded by a flower bed full of butterflies. Right in front of him was a fountain, which he had specially built for Blackmoon Town so that its people could rest there.
Watson took a sip of the black tea prepared by the maids on the white round table as he looked at the massive Blackmoon Castle that streaked past his head, as well as the Diamond Stardust Dragon, the Golden Flash, that danced behind the castle, and the Frost Phoenix, Emperor Cluck.
Watson felt as if he was in a different world because of the mysterious buildings that floated in the sky, the terrifying magical beasts that roared and flew, and the ancient buildings. Their previous poor life was in the past; one could call him a great lord then.
“Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother should have returned from Monte Town by now.”
Watson set down his teacup and took out three rings with starlight around them as he muttered to himself. He had fused those rings for a long time; he was only waiting for his brothers to come home to claim them.
As if sensing his wish, a handsome young male servant spread his combat aura wings, which represented a silver-tier warrior, and flew in front of him from mid-air. He knelt respectfully on one knee and said, “The three Young Masters’ carriages have arrived in Blackmoon Town from Monte Town, Young Master Watson. They could not enter because of the Lava River, so they sent this old man here to inform you.”
The male servant, who looked about 20 years old, called himself an old man, which was strange. However, Watson knew that the so-called old man was almost 60 years old and had yet to reach the bronze-tier two days ago. In just two days, he had returned to his youth and advanced to the silver tier. He did not know how many things the man had spent on that wish.
After cursing inwardly, Watson stood up. “Lead the way. I want to welcome my three older brothers.”
..
Outside Blackmoon Town.
The horse carriage creaked on the barren snowy ground, and its speed gradually slowed down.
“Stop the carriage.”
Gerant stepped out of the carriage, surrounded by guards, and gazed out at the endless massive buildings in front of him. He could feel the sparse snowflakes falling on his face and melting. It was snowing heavily on the entire border at the time. However, the snow had dwindled as they neared Blackmoon Town.
That was the first time that Gerant had been to Blackmoon Town. Previously, he had only heard about that place from Zeke and the other young masters of Blackmoon Castle.
“A hundred-meter-high wall, a river of lava, and a castle in the sky—all of these had been described by Young Master Zeke. What are those gleaming objects behind the wall? Is that a tree?”
Gerant swept his gaze across the wall, looking at what was behind it. He narrowed his eyes. The weather had always been dark, but it was as bright as day in Blackmoon Town. Those tall trees near the wall were shining on their own. He was oblivious to the mechanism.
“We have finally arrived. Fortunately, we have been following them for two days. It would have been difficult to find this location otherwise. Then we will have to find a way to sneak in… Wait!”
A voice rang in Gerant’s ears. Moriarty, who had turned into a black rat, crawled out from Gerant’s shoulder and stared at the town in the distance. His tone had been relaxed, but at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly widened. “If I’m not wrong, those things behind the castle are…how is that possible?”
“Lord Moriarty, what did you find?”
Gerant asked in confusion. He knew that that rat was strong. Blackmoon Town must have something incredible to be able to shock it so much. What were those trees?
Before Moriarty could give him an answer, he heard a slightly mocking voice.
“Yo, is that you, Gerant? I heard that you’ve been living quite well in the past few days. You even bought a large number of materials from Blackmoon Castle. Were you the one who gave all four towns to Blackmoon Castle to manage?”
When Gerant turned around, he noticed that a convoy had appeared in the opposite direction. Torches were strung across the convoy. A tall and thin man with fiery red hair tied into a ponytail emerged from the front carriage, dressed in a luxurious purple and red gown.
“Lubin Campbell, I warn you not to speak nonsense. I came here because the border count had summoned me. I don’t know anything else,” Gerant grunted coldly.
He was there because he was threatened by the rat on his shoulder—Moriarty. However, he also happened to get a message from the border count on his way there. With that thought in mind, he turned around and looked at his shoulder. Then, he realized that Moriarty, who had been standing on top a moment ago, had disappeared without a trace. He immediately placed all his attention on Lubin.
Lubin was the same as him; he had been sent to the border by his family. The Campbells and the Ptolemys were large families in the kingdom. There were already conflicts between them. In addition, the two of them were mayors. Due to their competitive relationship, they had long disliked each other.
Gerland did not feel strange about Lubin’s arrival. However, he could not understand how Lubin had gotten there so quickly when Torch Town was further away. He had used the silver-tier magical beast that Watson had fused to pull the carriage; its speed was incredible. Did Lubin have a similarly powerful magical beast?
“It seems that these two mayors arrived earlier than us. We had set off the moment we received the news from the border count. As the mayor of Fairy Town, I am deeply ashamed.”
At that moment, another elderly voice echoed from the sky. Gerant and Lubin looked toward the sky simultaneously and saw a tall and sturdy old man with white hair neatly combed back and a mustache. He brought six young men dressed in pale yellow robes with him. The combat aura wings on his back flapped as he descended from the sky.
