Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 228: The Forest Library

"What just happened?" Seraphina stared at Elyra in shock.

"Elyra’s power... it looks like she just got a whole lot stronger!" Cicero’s eyes lit up, a flicker of excitement and joy flashing across his face. Given how close they were, there was no room for jealousy—only genuine happiness for Elyra’s sudden surge in strength.

Boom!

At that exact moment, as the surge of magic within Elyra settled and her power fully awakened, she dropped to one knee in front of Ethan, her voice trembling with excitement. "Thank you, Master, for helping me grow stronger!"

"Get up," Ethan said, pulling her to her feet with a smile. "There’s no need for that between us."

At the same time, he opened up Elyra’s status panel.

[Elyra Auradane]

Gender: Female

Level: 49

Overall Rating: A-Rank, Orange-Tier Legendary Hero!

Previously, Elyra had been rated B-Rank, Orange-Tier Legendary. But now, just as the Hero Tier Upgrade Scroll had promised, she’d broken through to A-Rank!

"How do you feel?" Ethan asked, grinning.

"Master, I feel like I’ve leveled up by a mile!" Elyra replied without hesitation, her face glowing with excitement.

Sure, it was just a jump from B to A on paper—but in terms of raw power, the difference was massive.

To put it in perspective: if Elyra’s combat strength had been 100 before, now it was easily 120, maybe even 150—or more!

For her, this was the best kind of thrill. And more than that, the stronger she became, the more capable she’d be of helping Ethan conquer the world, expand his territory, and achieve greatness.

Besides, the fact that Ethan had chosen to invest in her power—had taken the time and resources to make her stronger—was a clear sign of trust and closeness.

And that, more than anything, was what truly made her heart race.

To Elyra, Ethan was everything. The most important, most cherished person in her life. Being acknowledged by him, being seen by him—that was the greatest honor she could ever hope for.

"As long as it worked. Keep pushing forward—you’re probably not far from your second awakening, right?"

"Don’t worry, Master. I won’t let you down. I’ll reach my second awakening as soon as I can!"

"Good. Then keep at it..."

Ethan gave her an encouraging smile, then turned his attention to the third major quest reward.

"S-Rank Castle blueprint, huh? Wonder what kind of building I’ll get..." he muttered, activating the reward’s randomization feature.

Ding!

Player ’Valkarion’ has used the S-Rank Castle Blueprint Randomizer. Randomizing...

Beep! Randomization complete!

Congratulations, Player Valkarion! You’ve obtained the S-Rank Special Castle Building Blueprint: Forest Library!

"Forest Library?" Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the blueprint’s description. Then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he gasped. "Wait—this... this is Tier 4 Magic?!"

"Hisss..."

Ethan sucked in a sharp breath, eyes wide with shock as he stared at the blueprint in front of him. His whole body buzzed with excitement, like he’d just stumbled onto buried treasure.

"This Forest Library... it can actually generate Tier 4 Magic?!"

"And not just one—two of them?!"

He could barely keep still. His hands trembled slightly, heart pounding in his chest.

Tier 4 Magic.

That was no joke.

Do people even realize what that means?

Sure, the odds of getting one were a measly 0.5%, practically nonexistent—but as long as there was a chance, that was enough. Hope was everything. And hey, who hasn’t dreamed of being that one lucky bastard who hits the jackpot on the first try?

What if he really did pull a Tier 4 spell on the first refresh? freёweɓnovel.com

Hell, what if he got two?

If that happened, it wouldn’t just be a power boost—it’d be a full-blown revolution. The strength of Emerald Castle would skyrocket, flipping the entire balance of power on its head.

But then Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the material list again.

"Wait a second... what the hell are Elemental Crystals, Gold Dragon Scales, Magic Holy Water, and Magic Logs?" he muttered, frowning.

Gold Dragon Scales sounded familiar—probably from the Mythic-tier Gold Dragons—but the rest? Total mystery.

He shook his head and turned to Cicero. "Cicero, do you know what Elemental Crystals, Gold Dragon Scales, Magic Holy Water, and Magic Logs are?"

"I do," Cicero nodded immediately, stepping forward to explain. "Master, you’re right—Gold Dragon Scales come from Mythic Units, specifically the Gold Dragons."

"The Gold Dragon race is known for their massive Magic Immunity, but oddly enough, their scales are incredibly conductive to magic. That’s why they’re often used in crafting high-tier magical gear or constructing enchanted buildings."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for Magic Holy Water and Magic Logs, they’re rare resources—on par with Dragonblood Crystals and Magic Pattern Ore in terms of value. They’re not easy to come by, but in the Forest faction’s territory, they’re a bit more accessible."

Cicero’s brow furrowed slightly. "Now, Elemental Crystals... those are a bit trickier."

"Trickier? How so?" Ethan asked.

"Elemental Crystals are the core essence of a rare elemental creature called the Holy Psychic Elemental," Cicero explained. "It takes at least a hundred years for one of these creatures to produce a single Elemental Crystal."

He looked Ethan in the eye. "Master, the Holy Psychic Elemental is a hidden Tier 13 unit. They’re extremely rare and hard to find."

"I see..." Ethan’s expression dimmed for a moment, disappointment flickering across his face. But he quickly shook it off and smiled. "No big deal. We’ll just take our time and track them down."

Just then, Auremax leaned in and whispered, "My Lord, during my travels around the world, I came across quite a few Holy Psychic Elementals in the Holy Canyon, on the Origin Continent."

"Wait—seriously?!" Ethan’s whole body jolted, excitement flaring back to life. "Auremax, what’s the Origin Continent?"

"In the world of Glory Lords X, there are seven major seas and four main continents," Auremax explained. "The Origin Continent is one of those four. Our Emerald Castle is located on the Sacred Continent—also one of the four."
