Chapter 239: Can You Use Magic Too?

David explained, "It's true. At that time, I personally handed the ring to him. I saw the ring wrap around his finger just like when I was a child. I can't be mistaken about that."

Balthazar looked at David and thought about Merlin's last words before his death. Whoever wears this ring will be the new Supreme Merlin and will kill Morgana.

Could there be two Supreme Merlins? 

Then he spoke, "In that case, let's go meet this person recognized by the ring first and then take him to find the nesting doll."

However, David refused, "No, I have my own life."

Balthazar looked at David and said, "Maxim knows the nesting doll is in your hands. He won't let you go. Unless you want to let him turn you into a pig, you better follow me. After meeting the gentleman who bought the ring, help me find the nesting doll."

Balthazar didn't intend to give up on David until he saw whether the buyer could actually wear the Dragon Ring. Just in case something went wrong, he wanted David as a backup plan.

Even if the Dragon Ring chose a new owner, David's talent was still good. He could be trained into an excellent wizard.

David looked at the situation and said, "Well, this is too much. Do you know how outrageous this is?"

Balthazar glanced at David and said, "Just help me retrieve the nesting doll, and you'll be fine."

David nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Balthazar waved his hand and immediately located the position of the Dragon's Ring. "OK, let's go. We'll first meet the gentleman who bought the ring."

...

Charles Agency-

The training room had already been restored by the staff. Charles, with the Dragon Ring, was experiencing the ninjutsu in the room.

After some testing, he found that the power increased by ten percent when using elemental ninjutsu. One shouldn't underestimate this ten percent; it often meant a significant difference in strength.

However, only elemental ninjutsu could be amplified, such as Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, etc. Taijutsu and strength-enhancing techniques showed no change.

Charles didn't understand the specific reason for this phenomenon but speculated that the Dragon Ring categorized such ninjutsu as magic and amplified them.

Amplifying magic was, after all, the intended function of this ring.

Suddenly, a force appeared on the ring, as if trying to take Charles away with the ring.

"Hyah!"

Charles shouted loudly, chakra surged in his body, forcibly breaking this force. At this point, that inexplicable attraction also disappeared.

As he dispersed the chakra rolling on his body, Charles guessed silently, could it be that the plot had already started?

Thinking that the other party should come looking for him soon, he stopped training. As for the effects of this ring, he had already discovered some, but the rest could wait for now.

Whether to keep it as a ninjutsu amplifier or directly use it for charging, it depended on how the situation developed in the end.

After opening the training room, Charles took a shower upstairs and then came down to the lounge area, drinking whiskey and waiting for the other party to arrive.

...

At this time, Balthazar drove his own car, bringing David to the intersection of 71 Forest Hills Avenue in Queens.

Since the road was still closed, the two parked the car and walked to the entrance of Charles Agency. Sensing the aura of the ring, Balthazar knew that the ring's owner was inside. He spoke, "Let's go. Your buyer is inside."

The doorman of the agency, seeing the two approaching, proactively opened the gate, saying, "Please come in!"

Entering the agency, guided by Balthazar's sense of the Dragon's Ring, they reached the lounge area and immediately saw Charles drinking at a booth.

Following Balthazar's gaze, David also looked over and, upon seeing Charles, immediately spoke, "Yes, it's him. I sold the Dragon Ring to him."

Balthazar then walked towards Charles and sat down in front of him.

Looking at the man in front of him and seeing the Dragon Ring on his index finger, Balthazar pondered for a moment before saying, "Hello, sir. I am the wizard Balthazar."

"The Dragon Ring on your hand was in my possession before. I am responsible for finding its owner and teaching them magic."

Charles looked at the two people in front of him, Balthazar's straightforwardness, and then smiled, saying, "David, you did well."

Seeing this, David sat down next to Balthazar, looking somewhat awkwardly at Charles.

After all, his actions seemed to expose the buyer's information, which was somewhat unethical.

Charles extended his hand, showcasing the Dragon Ring on his hand, and then said, "I bought this ring from David. It is now my private possession. Is there a problem?"

David preemptively said, "No problem. I've already sold it to you, and, of course, the corresponding responsibility goes to you as well."

Balthazar then said, "I'm not here to reclaim the ring. I am just the guardian of this ring, responsible for finding its owner. Previously, David could wear it, but he sold it to you, and now you have become the owner of this ring. So, this ring belongs to you."

"I will serve you as you are now the heir of the ring, teach you magic, and help you become the new Supreme Merlin!"

"As for what magic is..."

Balthazar clasped his hands together and then let go, a ball of fire appeared in the palm of his hand, and then the flames extinguished to reveal a ball of lightning.

Watching Balthazar's performance, Charles smiled. Wizards indeed had many commendable aspects and unique magic, such as the Mirror World, transformation, transportation methods, and even the steel giant eagle. 

However, they also had many weaknesses.

On the side, David, watching Balthazar's performance, had a curious expression. Was this the magic he had encountered in his childhood?

At this moment, Charles extended one palm in front of everyone, and instantly, lightning flickered, the prototype of Chidori.

"Is this the kind of magic?"

Seeing the lightning in Charles's hand, Balthazar was stunned. It was different from what he had expected, and the lightning was also different from his own.

On the other side, David opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that his buyer was actually a wizard.

At this moment, Balthazar felt a special fluctuation from Charles, like magic but not quite the same, yet seemingly the source of magical power.

"Who did you learn your magic from?"

Upon hearing Balthazar's words, Charles dispersed the Chidori on his hand and then said, "This is not magic!"
