"You... You despicable little brat! I'm just seeking revenge! Do you understand revenge?" Merlin attempted to explain, but the Little Wizard refused to listen to any explanation.

"Then I'm taking revenge now too, isn't it reasonable? You've ambushed me twice today!" Ian continued to pursue while casting a Transformation Spell, and his gauntlet sprouted thorns one after another. Due to the previous magic potion being poured over them, each thorn glistened with a sinister deep luster.

"?????"

Glancing back at Merlin, he felt chills down his spine and his scalp tingled. He didn't want to retaliate with magic, fearing Ian would transform into a Raven after he cast spells.

That thing has strong Magic Immunity, and it's not friendly to wizards.

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have been impulsive!"

Merlin slid to his knees with lightning speed, trying to apologize, but the Little Wizard was relentless, so he gritted his teeth and unleashed a big move, stopping his escape and reaching into his pouch.

In the next moment.

A massive treasure chest stood between him and Ian, the gemstones, mithril, and gold inside gleaming under the sunlight, directly having a profound effect on Ian.

The Little Wizard was blocked by the chest and was forced to stop.

"Phew~ Luckily... some things remain the same, haven't changed." Seeing Ian attracted by the treasure, Merlin sighed in relief and pushed the chest towards Ian.

"This is my compensation to you..." Merlin clutched his swollen face and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his speech became unclear, but he could only concede.

His voice became somewhat breathy due to missing a few teeth.

"Ha? Trying to buy me off?"

Ian, although he won, was still somewhat upset, "If you don't make it clear what you mean, I can fight with you from this year to the next!"

Though he said this, he didn't hesitate to accept the chest at all. However, accepting the benefit didn't mean he had to forgive Merlin.

The inequality principle sometimes is really handy. He quietly made a separate page for Merlin in his little book, planning to "settle accounts" later.

Faced with the Little Wizard's unfriendly gaze, Merlin smiled wryly, "The thing I gave you earlier comes from the True Creator's Alchemy Creation."

"To be precise, it's one of the organs created by the True Creator when demonstrating their might, only the True Creator can restart it."

"I used this method to verify your identity... Medivh, True Creator, and... Raven. You are the same existence!"

Merlin's tone was filled with conviction.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Ian couldn't help but frown. He might accept the identity of the True Creator, but the identity of the Shadow Crow, he found it impossible to go back in time to become the Shadow Crow again, right?

So many nested dolls!

"You may not realize this now... but I'm confident in my judgment. I've found information about the True Creator in many ancient texts."

"You know, they are often depicted as a bird, how could such coincidences exist in this world." Merlin sighed and began casting magic to heal his injuries.

"What did you put on the gauntlet?" Even though the magic gradually healed his injuries, Merlin was still uneasy, remembering Ian's gauntlet had struck him a few times.

"Nothing much, just some failed bloodline fusion potion, might cause you to mutate into a goblin? Do you call them goblins now?"

Ian's response made Merlin's heart race.

He couldn't help but repeatedly conduct detailed self-examinations. He once again recognized the ruthlessness of this Little Wizard, just for giving this guy a punch he wants to change his race!?

"You really are a downright Dark Wizard!" Merlin couldn't help but complain, whilst the Little Wizard was indifferent, he too took out his mirror to check his injuries.

They weren't serious.

Only the left side of his cheek was a bit purplish-red.

A little magic potion poured on it, and the cheek quickly returned to smoothness. This came from the Half-blood Prince's potion formula, as a healing potion, perhaps it didn't hold as much value as a cosmetic potion.

"Good uncle still doesn't understand how to make money!" Ian shook the remaining potion, thinking it was already opened, he poured the whole bottle down his face.

The cosmetic effect was indeed good, even a few freckles disappeared.

"What's that?" Merlin wasn't paying attention to the potion in the Little Wizard's hand, his attention was drawn to Ian's mirror, which was the very Mirror of Erised he got from Dumbledore. Teacher Morgan in the Misty Illusion Realm didn't take it, so the Little Wizard kept it by him as an ordinary mirror.

"Such a special alchemy prop... is it your creation, or another master's work?" Merlin was captivated by the Mirror of Erised. His eyes shimmered slightly, although his face still showed pain, he couldn't help but look curious. He stepped forward a few steps, wanting to explore this mysterious alchemy prop.

"Want to study it? Dream on."

Ian detected Merlin's intention and quickly coldly laughed while putting away the Mirror of Erised, moving swiftly, giving Merlin no chance to touch it.

"Hey!"

Merlin's face showed several expressions of speechlessness.

"Inside that magic mirror, is something hidden..." he might truly possess a view different from ordinary people, even after just a glance, he discovered something hidden that Ian hadn't noticed.
