Chapter 246: Transforming The Entire Border

“Look at my finger, my dear husband.”
A lady with a lotus leaf hat dressed as a noblewoman stretched her slender right hand outward. “The silver ring you gave me is now gold,” she said as she pointed to the ring on her index finger that flickered with a golden light. “I think it has a strong magical power too. This is at least a silver-tier item.”
“My dear Maria, based on my experience, I am confident that it is a gold-tier ring,” a well-dressed man beside the woman said as he tried to suppress his excitement.
“Really? That’s fantastic, my dear husband.”
The woman clutched the ring tightly in her hand and refused to let go.
The medicinal herb shop’s young boss behind the couple was taken aback by his shop’s drastic transformation.
“How did all of the herbs in my shop change to the silver tier?”
There were various herbs on the wall. Some of them radiated a silver light, while others radiated a golden glow. The majority of the herbs had been bronze and iron-tier. However, all of them had changed to silver and gold-tier. The young owner blinked again. He did not know if he had seen it incorrectly.
He had returned to the pharmacy less than a minute ago. He had closed the shop to watch the duel between Watson and Elvira.
Watson had just cast a spell that turned Torch Town into a platinum city. His pharmacy, too, had grown from a one-story bungalow to a four-story palace. Watson’s magic astounded him. He had been concerned about what effect the spell would have on his pharmacy. In the end, it did have an impact, but it was not something he had expected.
The hoes and sickles he hung next to the medicinal herb shelves were used to dig for medicinal herbs. Initially, they were not even first-tier grade items, and they were covered in rust. However, they had transformed into silver-tier items that emitted a silver light.
“This truly is a miracle!”
He was stunned at first. Then, the young owner revealed an ecstatic expression. His family possessed a plethora of silver-tier items and herbs for no apparent reason. He had no idea how much money he could make if he sold them. Even if he did not sell those items, he could keep them for himself.
He assumed he was not the only one whose shop had devolved into that state. As the store owner reflected on that, he looked out the window and at the young man from Blackmoon Town. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
He did not care when he first heard of Blackmoon Town. However, he was enraged when he learned that its young master would fight Elvira. He was confident that Elvira would win.
How could a small child from an unknown location compete with Commander Elvira? His perspective changed when he witnessed Watson unleash a terrifying spell powerful enough to destroy the entire town and the magical means to repair it at the same time.
Watson deserved more respect than Torch Town’s mayor.
Many Torch Town residents shared the same sentiments. Most of them had spent their entire lives in Torch Town. They had worked hard to amass some gold coins. However, Watson’s spell had turned their clothes into something of higher quality. It was like having a lifetime’s worth of wealth in an instant.
Elvira stretched her hand outward and knocked on the armor on her body that had been transformed into gold-tier. She fell silent as she touched it.
Lubin said that she had displayed her cheap sense of honor. She was adamantly unconvinced. She had done what a good knight would have done. She did not think that she was in the wrong before she realized that she had been wrong about that too.
She insisted on doing things her way. Torch Town might not have been able to reach that level in a hundred years, but Watson had done it in an instant. It would have been fine if she had submitted obediently in the face of such a monster. There was no reason to keep that insignificant dignity. She had not understood Lubin’s adoration for Watson, but she had changed her mind. She would bow to him then.
…
“Phew!”
Watson took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his brow after releasing the system fusion for the second time.
The system did not consume his physical strength. However, he had been weak after he released the explosive spell; he had to gasp for air even if he only said a few words.
“Mayor Lubin, the transformation of Torch Town has been flawless. It is time for me to go as well. If you do not have any other request—”
Lubin had already approached him with a smile on his face. “Young Master Watson, I have not thanked you properly for helping Torch Town make such a big change. It is not proper noble etiquette to chase a guest away after they had helped us! What do you think? At the very least, Young Master Watson, you should stay here today and celebrate the rebirth of Torch Town with us.”
Lubin’s fiery-red robe emitted a faint golden glow. Watson had conveniently upgraded his clothes to gold-tier when he fused the miscellaneous items. Lubin had previously misplaced a few gold-tier things in Blackmoon Town. He had been heartbroken, but he could only feel joy in his heart at that moment.
He was not the only one who had gotten his hands on a gold-tier item. Everyone in Torch Town had at least one silver or gold-tier item. What did that imply?
He had taken out a few gold-tier items previously, but at that moment, Torch Town had tens of thousands of similar items. They would have even more of those items in the future. He was no longer bothered by the minor setbacks he had endured in the past.
“That’s okay, Mayor Lubin. I do not feel like eating right now.”
Watson appeared troubled as he declined Lubin’s request politely. He wanted to transform the other towns quickly before returning to Blackmoon Town for a much-needed rest.
“Young Master Watson, you should stay. I am very sincere in my invitation. The people of Torch Town do not want you to leave either.” Lubin gripped Watson’s hand tightly as if he did not want to let go.
“Young Master Watson does not wish to remain here, Lubin. Do not invite trouble.” Gerant walked out of the crowd at that point; his tone sounded hostile.
He did not want Watson to stay in Torch Town. He wanted to witness the scene again in which Watson used system fusion to transform Torch Town. When he imagined that Monte Town would go through the same process, his heart swelled with zeal. How could he let Lubin continue with his actions?
“Gerant, I do not have time to argue with you right now. This is Torch Town; this is my domain. Do not interfere with my or Young Master Watson’s business. Otherwise, I will have my men evict you from Torch Town.”
“You—”
Gerant was so enraged that he was on the verge of losing his cool. Suddenly, he felt malicious stares from all directions, prompting him to close his mouth.
The Torch Town residents stared at Gerant as if he were a dagger. They said, “Young Master Watson, please stay. When you go to the mayor’s house, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest.” Their expressions became submissive.
They would turn a blind eye to Gerant’s spat with their mayor. On the other hand, Watson had become a treasure in their eyes ever since they knew about his magic. How could they bear the thought of losing him?
“I am not sure I want to go.”
Watson looked up at the lonely Elvira in the crowd when he noticed Lubin clutching him tightly. Then he had an epiphany. “Do you remember our bet, Miss Elvira?”
“What bet?”
Watson’s voice was so loud, so Elvira turned her head, and everyone else in the room quieted down as well. They looked at Elvira with interest.
“It was made before the duel. If I were to lose, then I would leave. And if you do not win, then—”
Watson came to a halt halfway through, and Elvira’s face had turned from pale to red. Her pretty face was flushed with embarrassment. She remembered what Watson had said about the bet. Watson had asked about her action if she were to lose the duel. She told him that she would strip naked and run around the arena.
She had said it so casually; she did not expect Watson to remember it.
Elvira reached for her chest to undo the gold-tier chain mail and revealed a pair of black shorts and a tight top that showed more than half of her pale skin. Her attractive figure, which had become curvaceous after years of exercise, was incredibly appealing. Many of the men were drawn to her voluptuous figure. Watson’s gaze was a little fixed on that too.
Elvira gritted her teeth and was about to remove her shorts and top when she heard Watson’s voice. “Miss Elvira, what are you doing?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted me to keep my promise? Why are you still asking me about what I’m doing?”
“You’ve misunderstood me, Miss Elvira. I have not finished what I was about to say! I mean to say that you can’t fulfill the bet you lost unless you agree to one of my conditions. And that is to persuade Mayor Lubin to let me go.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
The color of Elvira’s face alternated between green and red. She gritted her teeth as she stared at the helpless Watson with her lovely eyes. Watson, she suspected, had done it on purpose.
As a good knight, she would certainly keep her word. However, running naked in public was a little too difficult for her. Watson had given her a way out, so she had no choice but to accept it.
After she thought about it for a moment, she said, “Young Master Watson, before the duel, I remember that you had placed a million gold coins on a certain bet. According to the odds at that time, you should receive 100 million gold coins for your win!”
“I remember now. There is such a thing, indeed.”
Watson’s eyes lit up, and he nodded as if he was serious. “From the looks of it, I can’t transform Torch Town for free. You still owe me 100 million gold coins. Should the mayor pay for that, or would everyone here chip in for the total amount? Why don’t you hand over the silver and gold-tier items you have on you, and I’ll see if it’s enough for 100 million gold coins?”
Everyone froze and turned their heads away awkwardly; they no longer asked him to stay.
“Young Master Watson, aren’t you heading toward the other towns to help them as well? Hurry along, then. We won’t see you off.” Lubin quickly let go of Watson’s hand; there was a guilty smile on his face.
He had let go of Watson when it was about money. How stingy!
As he cursed the man in his heart, Watson nodded at Lubin and everyone else. “Then, I shall take my leave. Now that the passage between Torch Town and Blackmoon Town is opened, you are welcome to Blackmoon Town for leisure or business in the future.”
After he said his goodbyes, Watson left Torch Town; Antonio and the others followed behind him. Gerant took the lead and rushed out impatiently. “Young Master Watson, is it our town’s turn for the next transformation?”
Andre was beside him too, and his eyes were filled with hope.
As he glanced at the two of them, Watson thought for a moment and said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I have a better idea.” Then, he spread his combat aura wings and flew up toward the sky. He raised his hand and pointed at the ground under his feet.
“Wouldn’t it be more convenient if I transform the border instead? It would also save me the trouble of running from town to town.”
