The Lava Dominator's reputation was too great, even an outsider like William Merlin could recognize it with a glance. If Lin Yun kept that Spiritual Magic Tool, it would be like hanging a sign around his neck with the words "I killed Ronald, I snatched the Lava Dominator, if you're not convinced, come find me!"
That would be a huge joke …
Let alone the crazy Ash Tower, even a turtle wouldn't be able to endure it!
Fortunately, there were many ways to change one's appearance in alchemy, so Lin Yun wasn't worried that the Lava Dominator would be too hot. At worst, he would just have to wait until he returned from the prince tomb to change the Lava Dominator's clothes.
What Lin Yun was truly worried about was something else.
"Haha, Leader Sauss, the problem has been solved." Lin Yun smiled as he looked at Sauss.
But that smile made the leader of the number one underground force of Thousand Sails City feel a chill down his spine when he saw it. An uncontrollable fear shrouded Sauss' heart. At this moment, Sauss even felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce magic beast.
'Shit, I know too much!'
Sauss immediately understood. The dead Great Mage came from the Ash Tower, a powerful mage force on the same level as the Sage Tower. Not to mention, this was related to a very important secret of the Ash Tower. If news of it leaked, the Gilded Rose would be in big trouble.
He looked around …
Apart from the Gilded Rose's people and the dead man on the ground, he was the only outsider.
'An outsider …'
Sauss felt his legs soften. In this situation, even a fool would know that turning the outsider into a dead person was the safest way.
Only a dead person wouldn't talk nonsense.
Sauss knew that he wasn't being groundless. Just look at that Great Mage Merlin. He was smiling as he said that the problem had been solved while holding that terrifying crossbow that had killed the Great Mage. 'The problem has been solved, why are you still holding that crossbow?'
Thinking of this, Sauss couldn't help wanting to slap himself. 'Why didn't I think of bringing a few more people? Now, I don't even have a chance to call for help.
'No good, I have to save myself!'
Sauss gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
"Wait, Great Wizard Merlin, the trouble is not over yet. Look, his eyes are still moving!" Sauss said with a panicked expression. He pulled out his sword and stabbed it into Lonald's chest. In an instant, black blood sprayed out and flowed along Lonald's corpse to the ground.
Then, Sovann saw the weeds on the ground wither …
'What a powerful poison! No wonder even a Great Mage with the Lava Dominator couldn't withstand a single hit from the crossbow.' While Sauss was inwardly horrified, he revealed an expression of relief. 'Alright, the problem is finally resolved. I never thought that I, Sauss, would be able to kill a 5th Rank Great Mage with my own hands.'
"Haha, fortunately, Leader Sauss reacted in time, or else we would have been ambushed." Lin Yun's smile finally contained some sincerity.
Because Lin Yun knew that this sword had firmly tied the Viper Nest and the Gilded Rose together. If Sauss had any ideas in the future, he would have to think about what happened in the Poison Fog Canyon. After all, Sauss had personally stabbed that Great Mage of the Ash Tower with his sword.
As long as Sauss's thoughts were normal, he wouldn't leak this information.
If Sauss didn't leak it, who would?
The remaining people were all members of the Gilded Rose. If Lin Yun couldn't even make his own people keep their mouths shut, he might as well just die. Living in this world would be a waste of resources.
"Great Mage Merlin is too polite …" Seeing Lin Yun's actions, the vigilant Sauss finally let out a long sigh of relief. To be honest, Sauss felt a lot of pressure dealing with such a powerful and ruthless young Great Mage.
But fortunately, after this fight, the relationship between the Viper Nest and the Gilded Rose should be a lot more stable than the other forces.
This could be considered an unexpected harvest.
"In short, thank you, Leader Sauss." Lin Yun wasn't polite with Sauss. He waved his hand and set off with the Gilded Rose's caravan.
As for the recently rescued Colin, Lin Yun directly handed him over to the old butler.
From the previous question, "Who are you?", Lin Yun knew that this young man didn't trust him. This was normal. Firstly, Mafa Merlin wasn't often in Thousand Sails City, so many of Locke Merlin's subordinates didn't know him. Secondly, this Colin was carrying a huge secret of the Ash Tower, so it was normal for him to be vigilant against people he didn't know.
But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry.
In any case, he still had to go to the prince tomb, so he couldn't bring this Colin with him. It would be better to let the old butler brainwash him. Once he returned, he would be able to start rebuilding the chamber of commerce's mercenary group.
A 9th Rank Swordsman who could use Aura at any time, and a 5th Rank Great Mage from the Merlin Family. With them leading the fifty 5th Rank Great Mages sent by the Merlin Family, although they were far from enough, their strength was already pretty good. At the very least, there shouldn't be too much of a problem on the few trade routes near Thousand Sails City.
By the time Sauss dealt with Ronald's corpse, the Gilded Rose's caravan had already left the Poison Fog Canyon. Besides William Merlin, no one knew that Lin Yun had already stealthily left the carriage and was now heading towards the prince tomb with the help of the Magic Spring potion.
This time, there were no Rotten Flowers lurking on the way, and there were no Toxic Dragonflies blocking the entrance of the cave. Lin Yun only spent a bottle of Magic Spring potion to reach the depths of the cave.
The vines that had solidified at the entrance of the passage were still there, and after Lin Yun chanted an incantation, the vines gently coiled around Lin Yun and sent him into the prince tomb.
Lin Yun followed the old path until he reached the place where the Death Garden had disappeared. Lin Yun clearly remembered that after the Death Garden disappeared, there had been a path there.
Sure enough, after passing through the long corridor and the withered ruins, Lin Yun quickly saw a tightly shut stone door.
Over a millennium of darkness hadn't left a single trace on the stone door. He touched it with his hand and felt that the fine lines looked as if they had just been carved. Both sides of the stone door were engraved with exquisite patterns. Even in this gloomy tomb, it still had a breathtaking beauty.
'Sure enough, it's the tomb of a prince of the 3rd Dynasty …' Lin Yun was speechless. The royal family of the 3rd Dynasty was known for their extravagance and debauchery. But Lin Yun truly hadn't expected that this kind of extravagance and debauchery would reach this level. Just the stone door in the middle of the tomb was carved from a block of Prison Rock. That was worth at least three Inheritance Magic Tools.
Not to mention the patterns on it …
That was a 6th Tier Spell, Runic Shield, the strongest defensive spell of the High Mage realm!
It could be said that this Prison Rock Door couldn't be broken by anyone under the High Mage realm!
And this was only a path leading to the center of the tomb, nothing more.
'This is a bit excessive …' Lin Yun tried pushing the Prison Rock Door with his hand, but sure enough, it didn't budge at all.
Lin Yun suddenly felt a headache. The Prison Rock itself was the natural armor of an Abyssal Demon, and its defensive ability could only be described as shocking. With the addition of the Runic Shield, this Prison Rock Door directly blocked Lin Yun's path forward. Unless Lin Yun reached the High Mage realm, he simply wouldn't be able to use brute force to break through this Prison Rock Door.
This was truly a bit of a bad start …
Lin Yun had made ample preparations this time. He had brought fifty bottles of Magic Spring potion in order to come into contact with the Reincarnation Eyes. But who would have thought that he would encounter such an unsolvable Prison Rock Door. To Lin Yun, this was simply a head-on blow. Lin Yun was in a daze.
'What should I do …
'Should I retreat and look around to see if I can find another way out?'
After all, with such a huge tomb, there would definitely be more than one path leading to the center. Lin Yun was somewhat moved as he thought of this, but he couldn't help sighing. It was common for the 3rd Dynasty to bury their dead, especially the members of the royal family. It could be said that they didn't hesitate to pay any price for their tombs. Even if he could find another way out, there might be something even more abnormal than the Prison Rock Door on the other side.
'Forget it, let's see if there are any traps …'
After making up his mind, Lin Yun started slowly looking around.
"Eh!" After searching for about ten minutes, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly shone.
Lin Yun's luck was quite good …
After pushing aside some underbrush, Lin Yun actually found an array!
Lin Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly analyzed this array. Then, Lin Yun discovered that this array was most likely the control center of the Prison Rock Door. But there was something strange. The traces of this array didn't seem to be very old. It should be no more than a few hundred years old.
But as he thought about it, the Prison Rock Door was also left behind a millennium ago, but it looked like it had just been carved.
The reason for this might be the special environment of the prince tomb.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun gradually relaxed and started studying this array. After no less than half an hour, Lin Yun stood up and let out a long sigh.
At this time, Lin Yun could already confirm that this array was indeed the control center of the Prison Rock Door.
No, to be more precise, it was the control center of the Runic Shield above the Prison Rock Door.
'Enchantment spells actually have a control center?' Lin Yun couldn't help being surprised. After all, the meaning of enchantment spells was to make the effect of a spell exist forever. As long as the mana source didn't disappear, the effect of the spell wouldn't disappear. Generally speaking, this kind of enchantment wouldn't consider the problem of turning it on or off.
