In fact, William Merlin himself was a pretty good Great Alchemist. Although he wasn't proficient in array alchemy, he could still understand the design of an array.
William Merlin's eyes widened when he saw the piece of paper on the refining table. He looked at Lin Yun with an alarmed expression. That expression didn't look like he was looking at a normal human, it looked like he was looking at a monster.
In that split second, William's mind was completely blank. He stood there in a daze, his mouth wide open due to the shock, unable to close it for no less than a minute.
'Master Alchemist, that's a Master Alchemist!'
Many strange things he had encountered since coming to Thousand Sails City seemed to have been answered at this moment.
Why Mafa Merlin could easily rebuild the Gilded Rose, why Mafa Merlin could spend so much money at the Black Horn Auction, why Mafa Merlin had a good relationship with many peak characters of Thousand Sails City, why Mafa Merlin could maintain a good relationship with Lys …
All of this was because Mafa Merlin was a Master Alchemist!
"Master Alchemist, he really is a Master Alchemist …" William Merlin stood there with a sluggish expression.
He actually had a Master Alchemist cousin!
For some inexplicable reason, William Merlin felt a bit proud.
But after feeling proud, William Merlin started feeling afraid.
Because William Merlin suddenly recalled how he had put on airs in front of a Master Alchemist when he first arrived in Thousand Sails City. He had even wanted a Master Alchemist to help him carry his luggage. Right, he had even fought with a Master Alchemist and had been "slapped" by one of them …
William Merlin's legs felt weak as he thought of this. He subconsciously supported himself on the refining table next to him. 'This is too scary, I was actually so arrogant in front of a Master Alchemist. The fact that I'm still alive is the blessing of the ancestors of the Merlin Family.
'Right, right, didn't Faelor ask me to thank Leader Lys for saving my life?
At the time, he had thought that it was just a harsh remark, but it now looked like Leader Lys had truly saved his life. Let alone a Great Mage, even a High Mage wouldn't be able to survive a Master Alchemist's attack.
With so many High Mages in Okland, who would be foolish enough to provoke a Master Alchemist? If the other side was unhappy, they might even invite an Archmage. At that time, it would be too late for the High Mage to cry.
Damn it, I'm so brave!
William Merlin's legs turned to jelly as he gritted his teeth and came to a conclusion …
"Tell me, what is it?" Lin Yun saw that William Merlin seemed to be in a daze for a long time, so he had to remind him.
"I …" William Merlin opened his mouth, but he found out that his voice was unusually straightforward. He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "Can I sit down?"
"…" Lin Yun rolled his eyes, thinking, 'Cousin, isn't this a bit too much of a contrast?'
"Sit …"
Following Lin Yun's words, William Merlin cautiously sat down on a chair next to the refining table, but he didn't dare to sit too comfortably. He only sat on half his butt, and he didn't dare to lean against the back of the chair.
As for why …
What a joke, the Master Alchemist was still standing!
"Okay, you can talk now." Lin Yun didn't have time to analyze William Merlin's thoughts. After he sat down, he got straight to the point.
"I … I only wanted to ask, do you … Do you have a Nether Iron Vein?"
"Hmm?" Lin Yun's eyes narrowed as he looked at William Merlin with a bit of ill intent.
After all, to the current Lin Yun, the Bone Plane was his true foundation.
Even at the peak of the magic era, the Bone Plane was famous for its fertility. Just look at Lin Yun. He went to the Bone Plane twice and obtained an Obsidian Flower. That was a ticket that could make a Master Alchemist reach the Artisan realm. Moreover, this was only the harvest after getting rid of the Bone Devil.
The small black wasteland had a heaven-defying existence like the Obsidian Flower, so what would be outside the black wasteland? What would the Bone Plane have?
Not to mention that the Sage Chapter in Lin Yun's hands also needed a large amount of Soul Fires.
That was a key factor that could directly affect the efficiency of the Magic Array!
The Bone Plane was too important to Lin Yun. If he lost the Bone Plane, not only would he be unable to get the Book of Death, but the magic materials would also disappear, and even the Sage Chapter would lose its power.
Lin Yun simply couldn't afford such a loss.
Ever since returning from the Bone Plane, Lin Yun had been thinking of ways to increase his strength, even risking his life to use the Obsidian Flower Sap to craft a Magic Tool. Why was he doing this? Because he felt the attention of the Black Tower's High Mage and the Monchi Family's Monchi Family.
Now, William Merlin's words made Lin Yun's vigilance explode.
In that split second, Lin Yun even felt that William Merlin already knew of the Bone Plane's existence. Otherwise, why would he ask about the Nether Iron Vein?
Under such circumstances, the first thought that appeared in Lin Yun's mind was to silence him by killing him.
"No no no, don't misunderstand!" The killing intent in Lin Yun's eyes almost scared Merlin to the point of peeing his pants. "Listen to me, I only came to discuss cooperation, to discuss cooperation!"
"Sorry …" Seeing William Merlin's frightened appearance, Lin Yun calmed down. He knew that his previous reaction had been a bit too intense.
He had obtained a large amount of Nether Iron Ores and magic gems from that High Mage's Spatial Magic Tool. These Nether Iron Ores and magic gems were then sent to the Gilded Rose and turned into alchemy items.
With such a large amount of alchemy items entering the market, it would be hard not to attract attention.
It seemed reasonable for the other party to guess that he had a Nether Iron Vein from these alchemy items.
"That's right, I do have a Nether Iron Vein, what about it?" Thus, after thinking about it, Lin Yun decided to admit it. In any case, he would have enough mining puppets next month to start wantonly mining that Nether Iron Vein. At that time, even more alchemy items would enter the market, and it would be impossible to hide it from others.
"That's great, Cousin …" William Merlin was overjoyed. In his excitement, he even forgot his fear of Lin Yun and blurted out "Cousin". But after saying that, he realized that the one standing in front of him was a Master Alchemist, so he cautiously looked at Lin Yun. After discovering that the other side wasn't dissatisfied, he gathered his courage and continued, "Cousin, do you know that those old guys from the Elder Council are offering a sky-high price for the Nether Iron Vein in your hands?"
"Oh?" When Lin Yun heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. The Merlin Family had determined that he had a Nether Iron Vein through Thousand Sails City's alchemy market.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun's expression eased up. If they only wanted to cooperate, they could discuss it. But he didn't know what kind of price the Merlin Family would offer.
"Those old guys promised that as long as you are willing to hand over the Nether Iron Vein to the Merlin Family, the Merlin Family will immediately recognize your status as a direct descendant of the family, including your father and grandfather …" William Merlin happily explained the Merlin Family's conditions in one breath.
But as he spoke, William Merlin discovered that every time he spoke, the expression of his Master Alchemist cousin would become a bit gloomier. By the end, his expression was completely dark.
William Merlin's heart tightened and he didn't dare to say the rest of his words.
He only cautiously looked at Lin Yun and inwardly reflected on what he had said wrong.
"Damn, how could I be so stupid!" William Merlin was quite smart and understood after a bit of reflection. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself.
'Damn, how could I forget again …'
This was a Master Alchemist!
For a Master Alchemist, what meaning did the identity of a direct descendant of the Merlin Family have?
In fact, if the Merlin Family knew that a descendant of a Master Alchemist was wandering outside, the entire Elder Council would personally come to Thousand Sails City to welcome the return of this Master Alchemist.
It had to be known that even the Merlin Family, a peak power of the kingdom, hadn't produced a Master Alchemist for over two hundred years. Moreover, this Master Alchemist's descendant was so young and had frightening talent in the field of magic.
If such a person returned to the Merlin Family, he would immediately become the only candidate for the next Patriarch.
As he thought of this, William Merlin immediately knew that he had said something wrong.
But fortunately, William Merlin wasn't much worse than Faleau when it came to adapting to the situation. Just as Lin Yun's expression turned gloomy, William Merlin already had an indignant expression on his face.
"These old guys are truly crazy, they actually want to use the identity of a direct descendant to trade for the Nether Iron Vein in your hands. Rest assured, my father and I will definitely fight for you in the Merlin Family and make those old guys take out enough conditions. Otherwise, let alone you, even my father and I definitely won't agree!"
"…"
"Oh right, Cousin, you have to keep this Nether Iron Vein a secret. When I was in Okland, I heard that the Black Tower's people were also asking about the Gilded Rose …" William Merlin's words became smoother and smoother as he affectionately called Lin Yun 'cousin'.
"Black Tower?" But when these words fell in Lin Yun 'ears, he was startled. "You mean, the Black Tower's people are asking about the Gilded Rose?"
"Yes, I heard it was Solan's people."
"Solan?"
"Yes, Solan Monchi, a 9th Rank High Mage. Among the Black Tower's High Mages, he is the one most likely to become an Archmage. He has already entered the Dark Azure Plane and is said to be returning in a year." After William Merlin said this, he seemed to recall something. "Speaking of which, this Solan Monchi seems to have a deep relationship with your Thousand Sails City's Monchi Family."
"Solan Monchi, Monchi Family …" After muttering to himself, Lin Yun suddenly smiled. "I understand …"
