Sauss inwardly thought, 'I'm being wronged …'
Sauss had been in Thousand Sails City for so many years, how could he not know the relationship between the Sage Tower and the Ash Tower? They were mortal enemies, and after several hundred years of fighting, the number of people who had died was enough to fill half of the Poison Fog Canyon. Sauss wasn't crazy, so why would he want to deal with the Ash Tower?
This time, he was really helping out in passing …
In the morning, that Ash Tower's Great Mage came to find Sauss and said that someone had stolen an important Magic Tool of the Ash Tower and was now hiding in the depths of the Poison Fog Canyon. He wanted the Viper Nest to drive them out.
Sauss thought about it, 'I can't afford to offend the Ash Tower, it's one of the two major mage forces of the eastern part of the kingdom, they aren't inferior to the Sage Tower. Moreover, I'm just helping out in passing, so I should quickly drive them out and send that Great Mage away.' Thus, Sauss straightforwardly agreed.
But in the end …
In the end, it was f * cking broken by Great Mage Merlin!
Thinking of this, Sauss wanted to spit on his idiotic subordinates, 'Are you all idiots? The Poison Fog Canyon is such a big place, but you didn't want to go there, you just had to come here …'
'Now, the God of Plagues that I managed to drive away isn't leaving!'
But Sauss couldn't say anything …
'What else could I do? Should I tell that Great Mage Merlin that I'm sorry, but a Great Mage from the Ash Tower is coming over and it's inconvenient for you to meet? How about you leave first?'
Sauss wouldn't dare to say that even if he had ten guts.
"Ha … Ha … Haha, it's our Viper Nest's honor that Great Mage Merlin is willing to stay. How about we go to my wooden house, I still have a few bottles of good wine from Okland. I'll accompany Great Mage Merlin and drink a few cups?" After saying this, Sauss' smile was even uglier than a crying face.
"Haha …" Lin Yun chuckled, he knew what Sauss was afraid of, so he didn't beat around the bush. "It's nothing, I just suddenly discovered that the youth the Viper Nest just captured is a member of our Gilded Rose, so …"
"A … A member of the Gilded Rose!" Sauss almost fell down when he heard this.
'Damn, how could it be someone from the Gilded Rose!'
Last time, he had detained a few Apprentice Alchemists of the Gilded Rose, which had already left a shadow in Sauss' heart. Now that he heard that it was actually someone from the Gilded Rose, he was scared out of his wits. At this time, he even cursed the ancestors of that Great Mage from the Ash Tower.
'Do you think your Ash Tower has nothing better to do? Of all people, why did you choose to cause trouble for the Gilded Rose? 'Okay, okay, even if you want to cause trouble for the Gilded Rose, don't drag me down with you, okay? 'After you cause trouble for the Gilded Rose, you can just leave. But I still have to stay in Thousand Sails City.
'If Great Mage Merlin thinks that I'm colluding with your Ash Tower, how can I face Thousand Sails City in the future?'
'No, I must draw a clear line between myself and the Ash Tower!'
Sovann made his decision almost instantly.
In fact, it wasn't that Sauss didn't know that the other side's words were a bit exaggerated, but so what? Since Great Mage Merlin said that they were from the Gilded Rose, then they had to be from the Gilded Rose. What else could he do? Investigate their identities? Wasn't that courting death?
'Turns out they are from the Gilded Rose!' After Sovann made up his mind, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's truly a misunderstanding … Hey, you idiots, why aren't you releasing them yet? What are you waiting for?"
The group of subordinates was dumbstruck.
"You idiots, I told you to release them!"
"Oh, oh, oh …" After being yelled at by Sovann, the group of subordinates reacted and hurriedly released them.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's truly a misunderstanding … Well, Great Mage Merlin, you are a magnanimous person, don't lower yourself to the level of these idiots. They definitely captured the wrong person, they are blind. Wait until we return, I'll definitely teach them a lesson."
"Haha, Leader Sovann is too polite." Lin Yun smiled and said a few polite words. To be honest, Sovann's attitude this time truly made Lin Yun admire him. Sovann becoming the leader of Thousand Sails City's number one underground force wasn't a fluke. His judgement of the situation was like an instinct, he only needed to turn his eyes to know where he should stand.
In the end, the Viper Nest was still a force of Thousand Sails City. No matter how powerful the Ash Tower was, it would only make Sovann apprehensive. The one who could truly influence Sovann's decisions was the Sage Tower.
Offending the Ash Tower would at most make him a bit more careful in the future, but offending the Sage Tower wasn't a joke.
Solomon wasn't a reasonable person. In those days, the Black Wing Bandits tried to reason with Solomon, but in the end, the three big shots joined hands and burned the Black Wing Bandits to ashes. Even if Sovann was more courageous, he wouldn't dare to let Solomon know that the Viper Nest was actually colluding with the Ash Tower.
Lin Yun took advantage of Sovann's weakness and acted so directly, telling Sovann that they were from the Gilded Rose.
These words sounded a bit overbearing, but in fact, he was giving Sovann a way out of this embarrassing situation. He was saying that he didn't know about the Ash Tower and the Viper Nest.
Thus, after the pleasantries, Lin Yun added, "Oh right, Leader Sovann, I already talked to the Gilded Rose. You can take the Magic Spring potion you want at any time. Oh right, the Silver Moon Mercenaries' orders are a bit lacking recently. The Gilded Rose still has a lot of enchanted weapons and armors left. If Leader Sovann is interested, you can take a look. The price can be negotiated."
"Then I'll thank Great Mage Merlin in advance!" Sovann was overjoyed when he heard this. Everyone in Thousand Sails City knew that the Gilded Rose's alchemy workshop used Nether Iron to make enchanted weapons and armors. But the best batch was always provided to the Silver Moon Mercenaries, because when the Gilded Rose was in dire straits, the Silver Moon Mercenaries lent a helping hand. Not only did they provide a large amount of magic materials, but they also formed a partnership with the Gilded Rose.
Now, it was time for the Silver Moon Mercenaries to reap their harvest.
Thus, although the other forces of Thousand Sails City were envious, they couldn't say anything. Who told the Silver Moon Mercenaries to lend a helping hand when the Gilded Rose was in dire straits?
Sovann was naturally envious …
But Sovann hadn't expected that his previous goodwill would be repaid so quickly. That was a top-notch piece of equipment that only the Silver Moon Mercenaries could obtain. In all of Thousand Sails City, the Viper Nest was the second force to enjoy such treatment.
Thinking of this, Sovann inwardly rejoiced. 'If I had known earlier that there would be such a return, I would have directly sold the Ash Tower. What a joke, that was the Gilded Rose's best piece of equipment. With it, the Viper Nest's fighting strength would rise by at least a level!'
"Leader Sovann, I'm really sorry for bothering you for so long. We still have to rush to Edge Canyon tonight, so we won't keep wasting your time." Lin Yun waved his hand at Sovann and called over the youth he had just saved. "Colin, you and Uncle Pave will ride in the same carriage."
"Who are you?" Colin seemed to be around the same age as Lin Yun, but his strength wasn't bad. Lin Yun could already feel a trace of Aura coming from him. It wouldn't be long before he entered the ranks of Great Swordsmen.
But this 9th Rank Swordsman seemed to have never seen Mafa Merlin before, so he stood in front of Lin Yun with an expression of distrust.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that if you don't get on the carriage, the Ash Tower's people will arrive … Forget it, they're already here." Lin Yun clearly froze after saying that, because the mana fluctuations of that Great Mage had clearly come from a very far place. Lin Yun estimated that it would take at least five minutes for that Great Mage to arrive.
But now, the Great Mage had arrived in the time it took to exchange a few words.
'Could it be that it's a Spiritual Magic Tool?'
That was a bit frightening. Once a Spiritual Magic Tool reached the Spiritual Magic Tool level, it would already have a trace of the Laws and would most likely have the ability to distort space or even tear it apart.
To be honest, Lin Yun really didn't want to run into such an opponent. Spiritual Magic Tools were notoriously hard to guard against, and if one wasn't careful, they would be able to reverse the outcome of a battle.
But now, Lin Yun couldn't avoid it even if he didn't want to.
Just as Lin Yun finished speaking, fierce mana fluctuations shrouded the area. Lin Yun raised his head and saw a young Great Mage floating above the Poison Fog Canyon. Behind him was a blazing flame that looked like a pair of wings, making that blonde young Great Mage look extraordinary.
"Truly troublesome …" Lin Yun couldn't help cursing. Great Mages didn't have the ability to fly. Only after reaching the High Mage realm would they be qualified to learn Levitation. Moreover, Levitation was only for floating, it couldn't support long-distance flight.
Only Archmages could truly fly long distances. With Elemental Incarnation and Flight, they could travel a thousand miles in an instant.
This was also the true reason that once a mage reached the Archmage realm, the secular world couldn't restrict them. An Archmage with Flight could destroy a city by themselves. Such a terrifying existence was already above the secular world, and all the secular world's restrictions on them were nonexistent.
The one floating in the sky at the Great Mage realm naturally wasn't relying on his own power. The only possibility was a Spatial Magic Tool.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling a headache. To be able to distort space and let people fly, that Spatial Magic Tool wasn't just a little bit powerful.
Fortunately, he knew how to deal with it.
"Sauss, you disappoint me too much!" The young Great Mage floated in the sky and spoke with a condescending attitude. "I originally thought that as the leader of the Viper Nest, you would consider your subordinates, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You actually wanted to let an enemy of the Ash Tower go. It looks like the Viper Nest doesn't need to exist anymore …"
