These words were a bit too arrogant …
Even Sauss, who had always been tactful, couldn't help coldly snorting.
Originally, Sauss didn't want to become cannon fodder in the battle between the two Great Mage Forces, so he used Lin Yun's excuse to hand over the person. At that time, he was still thinking that he was the master of the Poison Fog Canyon, so no matter how dissatisfied the Ash Tower's Great Mage was, he wouldn't take his anger out on him.
But who would have thought that the other side wouldn't give him any face and would immediately say that there was no need for the Viper Nest to exist?
Sauss almost spat blood from anger.
'Even if the Ash Tower is one of the two major forces in the eastern part of the kingdom, don't forget that this is Thousand Sails City, not Oddrock City. No matter how powerful the Ash Tower is, could it be more powerful than the Sage Tower? 'Saying that there is no need for the Viper Nest to exist, what do you take the Viper Nest for?'
Sauss' expression suddenly turned gloomy. "Great Mage Ronald, your words are a bit too excessive. The Ash Tower is the Ash Tower, and the Viper Nest is the Viper Nest. How I do things doesn't seem to be something you should worry about, Great Mage Ronald."
"Sauss, you really aren't smart enough." After saying this, the young Great Mage looked at Sauss as if he was looking at a dead man. "As for you, I'll give you ten seconds to hand over the person, or else …"
"What else would happen?" Lin Yun still had a smile on his face.
"Or else, you can all stay here."
"Ronald, who do you want to stay?" At this time, William Merlin also got off the carriage.
"It's you, William Merlin!" William Merlin's voice echoed, and the young Great Mage's expression suddenly froze. "You actually came to Thousand Sails City?"
Anyone who knew William Merlin knew that he was one of the successors of the Merlin Family. Even the aloof young Great Mage would lose a bit of his condescending attitude when he saw William Merlin. After all, that was one of the peak forces of the kingdom, and even the Ash Tower wouldn't dare to casually offend the Merlin Family.
"Can't I come to Thousand Sails City?"
"Sure …" Ronald seemed to be a bit afraid of William Merlin. After coldly snorting, he once again said, "Alright, William Merlin, I'll give you face and let these people go, but I advise you to quickly hand over that person. To tell you the truth, this person is related to an important secret of the Ash Tower. If things get out of hand, the Merlin Family won't be able to protect you!"
"My subordinate?" William Merlin was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly realized that the other party was talking about … his cousin, the Master Alchemist?
William Merlin cursed in his heart.
Are you a f * cking idiot? Which eye of yours saw that it was my subordinate? Can't you see that I'm actually his subordinate? Can't you take a closer look? That's a Master Alchemist, do you understand? Even if you're blind, don't drag me down with you. Saying that a Master Alchemist is my subordinate, are you tired of living? '
But hearing the seriousness of the other party's words, William Merlin didn't dare to make a decision.
The Ash Tower's mages were famous for being crazy. If it was really as the other party said, that this youth was related to an important secret of the Ash Tower, it wouldn't end well if things got out of hand.
Thus, William Merlin thought for a bit before asking Lin Yun in a low voice, "Cousin, what do you think …"
William Merlin then heard Lin Yun say, "He will work with you to rebuild the Gilded Rose's chamber of commerce's mercenary group."
"Rebuilding the Gilded Rose's mercenary group, that kid's luck is really good …" William Merlin curled his lips in envy, but he only said half of his words before his expression suddenly stiffened. He then revealed an ecstatic expression, "With me?"
"Yes, with you …"
"Damnit, Ronald, don't be so wordy!" After hearing Lin Yun admit it, William Merlin felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. He pointed his magic staff upwards and said, "I, William Merlin, will definitely save this person. If you're unhappy, have those old guys from the Ash Tower look for me. I want to see if the Ash Tower is really ready to go to war with the Merlin Family!"
"You …" The young Great Mage's expression suddenly changed. He originally thought that after bringing up the Ash Tower, William Merlin would be a bit afraid, but he hadn't expected the other side to display such an unyielding attitude in the blink of an eye.
Naturally, this young Great Mage didn't know that after William Merlin's unyielding attitude, he lowered his head in guilt and said, "I say, cousin, the Ash Tower isn't to be trifled with …"
"I never thought of provoking the Ash Tower …" After saying that, Lin Yun didn't pay attention to William Merlin, who was rolling his eyes on the side. He took out a hand crossbow from his pocket and pointed it at Ronald.
"Courting death!" The young Great Mage hadn't expected that William Merlin's subordinate would actually dare to attack him.
After hearing the young Great Mage's angry shout, the surrounding mana fluctuations suddenly became more intense. The originally two-meter-long flaming wings instantly expanded to over ten meters. In an instant, the sky turned bright red as if it had been set ablaze. The area within a radius of several dozen meters was filled with surging heatwaves.
"This is … The Lava Dominator!" William Merlin suddenly exclaimed. Among the many Spiritual Magic Tools of the Ash Tower, the most famous was the Lava Dominator. Not only could it create an unbreakable Lava Shelter, but it could also casually use Flame Flash without Elemental Incarnation.
This was a peak existence among Spiritual Magic Tools.
Lava Shelter was close to absolute defense, and Flame Flash could appear and disappear mysteriously. It could be said that a mage with the Lava Dominator was innately invincible.
'Damn, how could the Lava Dominator fall into Ronald's hands?' William Merlin's eyes suddenly widened, no longer as relaxed as before. That was one of the strongest Spiritual Magic Tools of the Ash Tower. 'That Ronald wouldn't be the illegitimate child of the Ash Tower's Council of Four, right?'
"I'll let you see what happens when you become enemies of the Ash Tower!" After saying that, the young Great Mage raised his magic staff and suddenly, a huge amount of fire elements started converging. The flaming wings fiercely spread and firmly protected the young Great Mage. The fire elements flowing on them were enough to make any Great Mage sigh in admiration.
That was Lava Shelter, a rumored existence close to absolute defense!
At the same time, the ground beneath their feet began to burn. The frighteningly high temperature of the flames sealed everyone in a narrow space. Even the Great Swordsman Sovann could barely protect himself with his Aura. The few subordinates beside him let out blood-curdling screams and were buried in the sea of flames in the blink of an eye.
Lava Shelter wasn't just a shield close to absolute defense, it was also a cage that could easily strangle enemies.
William Merlin promptly chanted an incantation and nine Water Dragons loudly rose up, forming a defensive line amidst the flames. That was the 4th Tier Spell that Great Mages could learn after reaching the 5th Rank, Waterspout. It was the nemesis of most fire spells. But this nemesis of fire spells, under the Lava Shelter, could only barely protect the Gilded Rose's caravan. It simply couldn't counterattack.
"Damnit …" William Merlin was sweating. The Lava Shelter was too powerful. The Waterspout wouldn't be able to resist for long.
"William Merlin, you are courting death, you can't blame others." The young Great Mage in the sky coldly snorted. He raised his magic staff and roused a huge amount of mana, increasing the power of the Lava Shelter by a bit.
How could a trifling Waterspout resist the Lava Shelter? That was one of the most powerful Spiritual Magic Tools of the Ash Tower. No matter how good William Merlin was, he was only a 5th Rank Great Mage. Apart from High Mages, only another Spiritual Magic Tool could resist a Spiritual Magic Tool.
Now, it was time to put an end to this farce!
Ronald roused his mana and made the Flame Prison shrink once again. At the same time, he chanted an incantation and the flames of a Flame Burst shone at the tip of his magic staff.
Amid the dazzling flames, Ronald seemed to hear a soft sound. That was the sound of a crossbow bolt tearing through the air.
'Naive …' A sneer appeared on the young Great Mage's face. 'William Merlin's subordinate is truly interesting. He doesn't give up in the Lava Shelter and is delusional enough to use a palm-sized crossbow to injure me. Truly ridiculous. That's the Lava Shelter with absolute defense. Let alone an insignificant crossbow, even a siege crossbow wouldn't be able to injure me!'
"Alright, it should be over!" At this time, Ronald was about to say the last word when he felt a warmth on his arm.
When he looked down, he discovered that there was a thin wound on his arm …
This discovery caused the young Great Mage to reveal a trace of astonishment. A small crossbow could actually injure him!
But his surprise quickly turned into a sneer.
'Unfortunately, the accuracy is too poor …'
Then, there was no then.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, the young Great Mage fell from the sky. Only a muffled sound could be heard as the young Great Mage heavily smashed into the ground.
Without the mana provided by the young Great Mage, the Lava Dominator suddenly lost its power. In a flash, the flames covering the sky were extinguished. If not for the black scorched earth as proof, many people might have thought that the flames covering the sky were just an illusion.
All of a sudden, the entire world became peaceful …
'Unfortunately, the accuracy is too poor …' Lin Yun regretfully shook his head while taking a ruby necklace from Ronald's corpse.
This was the Lava Dominator, one of the most powerful Spiritual Magic Tools of the Ash Tower. It combined the power of fire and space. It had the movement ability of Flame Flash and the defensive ability of Lava Shelter. Even in Lin Yun 'eyes, the Lava Dominator was a near-perfect Spiritual Magic Tool.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep such a near-perfect Spiritual Magic Tool in his hands.
