"Are you sure?" Old Merlin had one foot on the steps. Cromwell was lying not far from him, but Old Merlin did not even look at him at this moment. A green staff was pointed at Gerian from afar, and the huge magical crystal inlaid on the tip of the staff was emitting a misty green flame.
Under the violent magical wave, it was as if a gust of wind was blowing outside the Emerald Tower. The paper and dust on the ground were swirled up and fluttered all over the sky.
An irresistible aura emanated from Old Merlin. Compared to the confrontation with Lin Li earlier, this aura was more violent and powerful.
Feeling the power contained in this aura, Lin Li realized how lucky he was earlier. If Old Merlin had not used his mental strength to oppress Lin Li, and had struck directly, Lin Li would not have waited for Gerian to come to his rescue. He would have been lying on the steps for a long time now.
A level-eight mage and a level-fifteen Archmage were two completely different worlds.
Old Merlin's mistake was that he had chosen the field that Lin Li was best at — the insane mental strength that even legendary mages were jealous of.
But even in this field, Old Merlin still won without any suspense with his understanding of the Rules.
Lin Li looked at Old Merlin from afar, and saw only one word on him — "gap".
Just as Old Merlin stepped on the steps, Gerian, who was in the tower, clenched the staff in his hand.
Radiating from Gerian was a powerful aura that was not inferior to Old Merlin's.
His originally abnormally bloated body was as heavy as a mountain at this moment.
Two of Jarrosus' strongest mages collided with dazzling sparks in an instant.
"You've been holding it in for so many years. You've long wanted to teach me a lesson, haven't you?" Under great pressure, Gerian's expression remained calm.
"Cut the crap, Gerian!"
Old Merlin looked determined, but he sighed inwardly.
If not for Cromwell's disappointing performance, why would he challenge Gerian, who was also an Archmage, when he was not confident of winning?
Although the 30 bottles of Arcane Magic Potion were crucial, Old Merlin was more interested in the Guild of Magic, which had a pharmacist. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Guild of Magic, which had been down and out for decades, was still able to compete with the Merlin Family in Jarrosus City. What would happen if they had a pharmacist?
With Old Merlin's status as an Archmage, he still sent Cromwell to show his goodwill, and even gave him four level-fourteen spells from his family's secret collection.
Other than the 30 bottles of Arcane Magic Potion, it was more to repair the relationship with the Guild of Magic.
With Old Merlin's wisdom, how could he not see that a Guild of Magic with pharmacists would definitely unify Jarrosus City? In the future, among the many forces in Jarrosus City, the Devil's Spellcaster Guild would definitely dominate.
Since the rise of the Guild of Magic was unstoppable, it seemed to Old Merlin that it was a wise choice to extend a hand of friendship to them before that happened.
Moreover, Old Merlin had been doing well for the past 20 years. He had never had a dispute with the Guild of Magic, and had even tried to facilitate some business cooperation. Old Merlin believed that as long as he showed enough sincerity, with Gerian's character, he would make the same wise choice.
So he sent Cromwell and asked him to bring four level-fourteen spells.
But this little bastard had messed everything up.
To think that he had confidently told him two days ago that the young mage named Felic was only level-five or six, and had only joined the Guild of Magic for less than ten days.
Old Merlin's lungs were about to explode at the thought of this.
Look at the strength he had shown just now. The level-two Water Curtain Impact was released instantly. Was this the strength of a level-five or six mage? Even many Magic Shooters were probably at this level …
And look at Kevin's expression in front of him? That was Gerian's nephew, the number two figure in the Guild of Magic. Even he had to act according to Kevin's mood. How could he be an insignificant figure?
However, it was too late to say anything now. In fact, even Old Merlin did not expect that the young mage named Felic would be so ruthless. Without any greetings or discussion, he raised his hand and struck the water curtain with a wave of his hand.
This Water Curtain Impact not only shattered Cromwell's pride of more than 20 years, but also shattered Old Merlin's previous plan.
The moment Cromwell was swept out of the Emerald Tower, Old Merlin knew it was over. Everything was over. The Merlin Family had completely lost the chance to compete for the Arcane Magic Potion, and the way to repair their relationship with the Guild of Magic was completely blocked.
No one would choose an ally with a grudge, even if it was the son of an ally who held a grudge.
Unless Old Merlin was willing to depose Cromwell and choose another heir to the family.
But everyone knew that was impossible. Old Merlin only had this one son, and Cromwell was his only choice.
Now Old Merlin had only one choice — defeat Gerian!
He and Gerian had always been the two most powerful mages in Jarrosus City. Only by defeating him could he confirm his identity as the number one mage in Jarrosus City, and help the Merlin Family survive the future crisis.
In the face of the absolute power of the number one mage, those mage families that had been restless would probably behave themselves for a while.
At the same time, Gerian's failure would also make the Guild of Magic quiet for a period of time. They had to accumulate strength again and wait for the next opportunity to rise.
Although this period of time was not long, it was enough for the Merlin Family to prepare for many things …
In Old Merlin's view, this would be the best outcome of the whole thing.
But if possible, he did not want to take this step.
After reaching the realm of an Archmage, there were many things that did not need to be seen with the eyes. Old Merlin could be sure that Gerian's strength was not weaker than his own just by feeling alone. The outcome of this duel between Archmages was likely to be decided by luck.
Old Merlin had never done anything he was not sure of in his life. He had never left everything to luck like this.
