"Should I kill or not?"
With the magic ring and the magic book in hand, George returned to Drake's presence, looking at Drake's face which was already drenched in sweat, and began to hesitate.
To speak of Drake, he is not a particularly heinous individual.
Although he is the present-day heir of Morgana's sect, he has not used magic to do any underhanded things like steal chickens or dogs; instead, he makes a living by performing real magic.
Had not Horowitz escaped the enchantment and found him, he would not have been involved in the matters to come.
But if he were to let him go as it is, without the magic ring, Drake won't be able to help Horowitz much in the future, but his magic inside could be drawn out by Horowitz to unseal Morgana.
George would naturally not allow the unsealing of Morgana to happen.
In the original work, the Supreme Merlin David who was reincarnated as the last ruler, killed Morgana with scientific power combined with magic by chance. If something went wrong, it would not be easy to clean up.
Morgana and Merlin are of the same level of magicians. They can't use more than a few moves against Balthazar. If he summons the Army of Death, there's no chance left for him to win, and he himself doesn't have much confidence either.
So his plan is to make sure that Horowitz does not release Morgana.
It would be best to wait until his strength is enough to crush Morgana and let him out, so he can extract the incantation for the resurrection spell.
How could he possibly miss out on such a high-end Necromancy that could revive all the legendary sorcerers who had passed away and form an undead army for his own use?
"Kid, do you want to die or live?"
George removed the full-body bind curse on Drake and controlled the kitchen knife to fly out and rest on his neck.
Drake immediately kneeled on the ground.
"Monkey Lord, please don't kill me, I want to live, I want to live!"
"If you want to live, agree to my condition. Then, at most, in a year, I will let you return."
George continued to send telepathically.
Drake didn't hesitate and nodded eagerly:
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll promise you any conditions, even ten or one hundred. I can also give all my property to you."
He wasn't stupid. In his view, the magic ring, the magic book and all his property were all outside of him.
He knows how to make the magic ring, and it should take no more than a year or two to make another one.
Morgana's book has been unused for a long time by him, and the magic he has learned recently is enough to make him one of the world's top magicians.
As for wealth, it's not a big deal either. If necessary, he can make money again later.
As long as he has his life, he can get these things back in a few years. But if he loses his life, then everything is lost.
"I don't want your property, but I will imprison you for a period of time. It may be as short as a few months, or as long as a year."
"In a year, you must teach me all the magic you know from the Book of Morgana. Then I will let you return."
George found a small box nearby and began to cast the Traceless Stretching Spell on it.
The magic knowledge in the Book of Morgana is a new system, and it's not easy for him to learn it.
Drake, despite being a chicken, has some magic foundation that can help him quickly get started.
By releasing him after killing Horowitz, he wouldn't have to worry about his magic being used to unseal Morgana.
"Whatever you say, I'll do as you command."
Drake now just wants to keep his life first, so whatever George says, he agrees.
After all, in his eyes, George is a panda, not a human. If he dared to negotiate terms, it might not be impossible for George to flatten him on the spot.
Seeing how obedient Drake was, George was satisfied. He had him tidy up his clothes and food and made a phone call to cancel all his upcoming travel arrangements for the next year, then threw him into the box.
He threw the box into the newly created switching system space and did not immediately check the Book of Morgana, but casted the tracking spell again.
"Direction revealed - David Stewart!"
As the golden arrow slowly appeared, he spread his wings and flew out again.
Now it's still uncertain when Balthazar and Horowitz will unseal, so he needs to find the Supreme Merlin who was reincarnated first.
Once he finds the Supreme Merlin who was reincarnated, no matter when Balthazar and Horowitz unseal, they will definitely come looking for him.
At that time, he can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Balthazar and try to learn magic from the Book of Merlin.
Drake is still a chicken, so teaching him the basics is acceptable, but to truly master magic in this world, he still needs to find a top-level magician like Balthazar as his mentor.
Following the arrow, George didn't take long to find David, who was sound asleep in an old six-story apartment building.
"It hasn't appeared yet!"
After careful consideration, he used the lock-opening spell to open the window and then quietly flew into the room, landing by David's bed.
After thinking of the story he would fabricate next, he gently patted David's head:
"Child, wake up, wake up!"
The telepathy directly teleported into David's mind, waking him up from his sleep.
"Who's calling me?"
David opened his eyes, blinking once when he saw the panda head above him.
"Did I dream about a panda?"
"No, I'm right in front of you. You're not dreaming."
George also blinked.
After five seconds of shock, David was about to let out a scream when George directly silenced him with a "quiet" word magic.
After he calmed down a bit, he removed the silence spell and said:
"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intent. I just want to ask for your help."
"Help, what can I do for you? You must have escaped from the zoo, do you need me to take you back?"
David leaned against the wall, his voice trembling as he asked.
"Pandas are so cute, I would definitely take more photos of them if I were in the zoo, and even take a picture with them."
But if one day he suddenly woke up from a dream to find a panda sitting on his bed and talking, it wouldn't be so cute anymore, and it would even be quite scary.
"I don't need you to take me to the zoo. Do you know what a druid is?"
George pulled over a chair next to him and explained:
"I am actually a magician. I became a panda because of the special Druidic magic I practiced. I am hoping that through you, I can lift this magic and become human again."
"I know about druids in games. But there's no point in looking for me; I don't know magic and can't help you revert to being human."
David replied helplessly.
If he hadn't experienced that encounter ten years ago, he wouldn't have believed George's words.
But ten years ago, he had witnessed a battle between two magicians with his own eyes, so he didn't have much doubt about George's words. He was also at a loss to help.
"You are the reincarnation of Merlin, the Supreme Magician. You can do it."
George activated his superpower to control the Merlin Dragon Ring floating on the table and placed it in David's hand.
