"The Charlotte Family has unfortunately fallen, so our Merlin Family naturally has to express our gratitude. Go find a wandering poet on the street and write a letter of condolence, as well as give them a few mana crystals. After all, they fell in our Merlin Family's territory. We are deeply regretful and will definitely increase the number of demonic lifeforms exterminating them.
"Oh, right, when I agreed to help the Charlotte Family's Patriarch fight against the Demons, he gave me a lot of things as a reward. Have the Charlotte Family deliver them together.
"As for what to give, Patriarch Ofran, you can choose. Maybe the Patriarch was too anxious and forgot to say what to give …"
Ofran's expression changed after hearing those words. It was as if he was a young apprentice looking at an Artisan.
'That Mafa is too suitable to be the Patriarch. Sure enough, the wisest decision I made in my life was to give the Patriarch position to Mafa.
'Look, look, he just became the Patriarch and he tricked that Old Fool Charlotte to death, while also tricking the Charlotte Family.
'Moreover, the Charlotte Family has to swallow this bitter pill. Even if they know the truth, they have no choice but to admit that Old Fool Charlotte died together with the Demons.
'Do they dare to admit that they came to our Merlin Family's territory to assassinate the Merlin Family's Patriarch? 'Sh * t, as long as they dare to admit it, no Family in Andalusia would dare to cooperate with them.
'The unspoken rule between Mage Families was that even if a war broke out, they couldn't use despicable methods to assassinate the other side's Patriarch or important members. After all, not every important member of a Family had the power of the Heaven Rank.
'If the Charlotte Family dared to admit it, the other Families and the Mage Tower in Andalusia definitely wouldn't mind digging a fat piece of meat from the Charlotte Family.
'Whatever we say now, they have no other choice but to pinch their noses and accept it if we ask them to give us a plane.
'Not admitting it? 'That's good, let's fight!
'Mafa Merlin is born to be the Patriarch of the Merlin Family. Just look, he doesn't need to go to war and doesn't need to lose any manpower, yet he can obtain even more benefits than if he went to war.
'Oh, there's no use for the plane controlled by the Charlotte Family. Maybe those idiots will be heartless and leak the coordinates of the plane. It's better to ask for a few mines or shops.'
It was said that they had discovered a large vein of Brilliant Stone, but that was it. There were also a few Magic Tool shops and workshops, their business was very good, and their profits were comparable to potioneering.
Ofran left in a hurry. He lowered his head and thought about how much he should blackmail the Charlotte family. Oh, no, how much he should make the Charlotte family pay.
The next day, the news of the fall of the Charlotte Family's Patriarch spread. Moreover, he died in the territory of the Merlin Family. It was rumored that the Charlotte Family's Patriarch was full of righteousness. He saw a Demon Overlord coming out of the Abyss and recklessly prepared to get rid of the Demon Overlord. Unfortunately, the Demon Overlord was too powerful, and he just happened to meet the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family who was passing by.
Then, for the sake of Andalusia's safety, the Charlotte Family's Patriarch promised a generous reward and made the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family help. Unfortunately, the Demon Overlord ended up dying together with the Demon Overlord, and even the Family's Magic Tool was destroyed.
In the Black Tower, Hören looked at the report sent by his subordinate and laughed on the spot.
"That idiot of the Charlotte Family actually ran to deal with Sir Mafa. Really, did he think that he had lived for too long? "Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he didn't need to do that. Self-detonating his Mana Whirlpool would be better than that.
"Haha, when did that old fool of the Charlotte Family become so righteous? He actually fought a Demon to the death in order to protect the peace of Andalusia.
"Sh * t, whose idea was that? Those old geezers of the Charlotte Family probably don't even have the face to come out and meet people.
"Notify the Black Tower to stop all cooperation with the Charlotte Family. Mafa has now inherited the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family. We don't need to offend Sir Mafa for the sake of those idiots of the Charlotte Family.
"Oh, no cooperation? Only a small shop? Not even a small shop! "
In the Cloud Tower, Joy looked at the report in his hands and frowned.
"Didn't our Cloud Tower just purchase a batch of Magic Tools from the Charlotte Family? Oh, they all returned. Reason? Just find a reason.
"Those idiots of the Family actually dared to collude with a Demon and ran to the territory of the Merlin Family to assassinate Sir Mafa. They are truly hopelessly stupid. Don't come into contact with them in the future, lest you lower your intelligence by a few levels.
"Sir Mafa is about to succeed as Patriarch, help me choose a congratulatory gift … No, forget it, I'll personally prepare a congratulatory gift."
On the streets of the city, there were bards singing about the achievements of the Charlotte Family's Patriarch, but only ordinary people would believe them. Any mage with a bit of brain would understand what was going on.
But no one exposed this matter, and Ofran was even more unwilling to do so. He would be stepping down as Patriarch in three days, but he managed to get back four shops and an alchemy workshop for the Merlin Family, as well as two large ore veins.
The new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family endured the pain and gave away these things. He had no choice but to give them away.
Everyone now knew that the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family had sacrificed himself to fight against a Demon. Even if they didn't know what was going on, they were well aware of it.
'Do I have to explain that the Charlotte Family was trying to assassinate the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family?'
The new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family looked exhausted, but he felt even more helpless.
"Sir Patriarch, shouldn't we reduce this month's allowance a bit? Moreover, more than half of the orders sent by our Family's workshop have been returned. There are all kinds of reasons, and … "
The new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family waved his hand.
"You can go. Put these matters aside and prepare a generous gift. H.e. Mafa Merlin will officially inherit the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family in three days, so take care of this matter first."
Sitting alone in the study, the new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family bitterly smiled as he took out a thick stack of documents. A large amount of information regarding Lin Yun was written on them.
'Sh * t, has the old Patriarch been bewitched by a Demon? 'He actually tried to assassinate that monster Mafa Merlin. He deserves to die, but he actually implicated the Family.
'Look at what that monster Mafa Merlin did in the Raging Flame Plane. He killed many people of the Odin Kingdom's Shadow Tower, but that Mage Tower, which is said to have a grudge, still hasn't come for revenge. It is said that a Heaven Rank powerhouse died, and the cause of his death might be related to Mafa Merlin.
'There's also the Quicksand Tower, that legendary desert mage tower, the ruler of the desert. Many of their people were killed by Mafa Merlin, and the Heaven Rank powerhouse of the Quicksand Tower seems to have a pretty good relationship with Mafa Merlin?
'Moreover, the most flourishing fort in the Raging Flame Plane is under Mafa Merlin's control. Even one of the Eight Tribes of the Raging Flame Beastmen, the Grey Beastmen, is loyal to Mafa Merlin.
'Have those damned Beastmen forgotten their hatred with humans?
'Even Heaven Rank powerhouses were killed by Mafa Merlin. He is an Archmage after all. Damn, this is definitely another Santon Merlin.
'That foolish old Patriarch actually tried to assassinate such a monster. Look at the reply coming from the Ancestral Land, it's only four words: Serves him right!
'Damnit, I have to take over this mess. Forget it, I should first think about how to ease the relationship with the Merlin Family. No, it should be with Mafa Merlin. Damnit, Mafa Merlin didn't do anything, yet our Charlotte Family is already on the verge of collapse. Our partners have all returned their orders, and the resources given to the higher-ups of the Family have been reduced by half.
'The old Patriarch really deserved to die, he didn't even investigate before making a move …'
Three days quickly passed, and the Merlin Family suddenly became very lively. Every mage tower in Andalusia had people coming to congratulate them.
"Look, that's the Cloud Tower's Sir Joy. It is said that Sir Joy already advanced to the Heaven Rank, he actually came in person!"
"Don't be surprised. Look over there, the Black Tower's Sir Hören also came in person, and Sir Hören has already advanced to the Heaven Rank. There's also that old mage, do you see him? That's the sage of the Gaugass Battlemages. "
"Eh, damn, that's the one recognized as the only sage of the barbarians? Why did he also come? Isn't their relationship with Andalusia bad? Especially the Black Tower … Eh, why is he chatting so happily with Sir Hören? "
"Idiot, you are too naive. They all came to congratulate Sir Mafa Merlin, do you see? There are already four Heaven Rank powerhouses, and I don't know the other two, but I heard they are antique mages … "
There were many people coming to congratulate them. Apart from the Heaven Rank powerhouses, there were also Patriarchs. The Charlotte Family's fate was still vivid in their minds. They could pinch their noses and endure when their Patriarch was killed, so who would be stupid enough to provoke them?
"The envoy of the Odin Kingdom's City in the Sky has arrived."
"The envoy of the Odin Kingdom's Quicksand Tower has arrived."
"The envoy of the Odin Kingdom's Burning Tower has arrived."
The announcement kept echoing from the entrance, and the densely packed crowd inside the Merlin Family became a lot quieter. They were all looking at the mages coming through the entrance with shock and astonishment.
These mages all had proud expressions, they were wearing magic robes, holding magic staves, and even the mana fluctuations they emitted were clearly stronger than those of the same rank in the Andalusia Kingdom.
"The City in the Sky, the Quicksand Tower, and the Burning Tower are formidable forces of the Odin Kingdom. Each of them is stronger than the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower.
"They actually sent envoys to congratulate H.e. Mafa Merlin on inheriting the Patriarch position? "Heavens, am I seeing things? These people are 9th Rank Archmages, and the mana fluctuations emitted by each of them are stronger than those of an ordinary 9th Rank Archmage."
When the envoys of the three forces came in, they saw the reverence and astonishment on those people's faces and couldn't help revealing proud expressions.
But when they entered the Merlin Family and saw Lin Yun standing in the center with an indifferent smile, the pride on their faces instantly disappeared, and two of them even looked a bit fearful.
"Sir Mafa, Sir Didala really couldn't get away, so he sent me to congratulate you. I hope you don't mind."
"Sir Mafa, this is a gift specially prepared by Sir Raphael for you. I hope you like it. The City in the Sky has some matters that require Sir Raphael's attention, so he can't take the time. I hope you can understand. Sir Raphael said that he would personally come to express his apologies."
"Sir Mafa, this is a specialty of our Quicksand Tower. Congratulations on inheriting the Merlin Family's Patriarch position."
The envoys of the three forces were very respectful, not a bit of their previous arrogance could be seen. Especially when they heard how the envoys addressed Lin Yun, the mages in the surroundings were overwhelmed with shock.
Zeuss Watson was also among these mages. He was representing the Watson Family this time. After all, a Peak 9th Rank Archmage was definitely enough to represent the Watson Family, and he definitely had a lot of face.
But here, Zeuss simply couldn't join the core circle, because that small circle was filled with Heaven Rank powerhouses!
Heaven Rank powerhouses that usually didn't show their faces were now personally congratulating Lin Yun, and there were even forces of the Odin Kingdom.
'Mafa Merlin is truly becoming more and more frightening. He can't be addressed as' Sir 'before reaching the Archmage realm, and apart from his own subordinates, only Heaven Rank powerhouses can be addressed as' Sir 'by other Archmages!'
'And these three 9th Rank Archmages are addressing Mafa Merlin as' Sir 'with a respectful attitude. This can only mean one thing … Mafa Merlin's strength has already reached the point where they can only look up to him. His strength is definitely comparable to a veteran Heaven Rank powerhouse!
'These three envoys are very respectful towards Mafa Merlin, and two of them are even a bit afraid of Mafa Merlin. Damnit, I must be seeing things. The forces of the Odin Kingdom are actually afraid of Mafa Merlin?'
Zeuss stood a dozen meters away and watched as Lin Yun chatted with a few Heaven Rank powerhouses. He simply couldn't get close, as there were over a dozen 9th Rank Archmages in the surroundings!
Zeuss had a complicated and envious expression, and he faintly looked up to Lin Yun. It had only been a few years, but he was already starting to look up to Lin Yun.
"Hahaha, Sir Mafa, how could you not inform me about such a big matter like the succession to the Patriarch position? That's really too bad. Fortunately, I learned of this matter ahead of time."
A loud laughter echoed in the sky as the aura of a Heaven Rank powerhouse spread out. The powerful aura instantly turned the lively area into absolute silence. Those with lower strength were suppressed by the aura of a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Let alone moving a finger, even speaking became very difficult.
In the next moment, everyone saw a young man in a black robe flying over from the sky while riding a terrifying pitch-black monster.
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation swept over and the Heaven Rank powerhouse's aura in the air was instantly swept away. The Heaven Rank aura Morgan had been suppressing seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
The four elements instantly converged in the air and condensed into a three-meter-big Four Element Bomb that instantly tore through the air and condensed a several-hundred-meter-long white trail in the air.
The Four Element Bomb instantly hit the Darkness Elemental God Morgan was riding, and a loud explosion echoed in the sky. The terrifying mana fluctuations were like a volcanic eruption, and Morgan was sent flying while half of his Darkness Elemental God's head was blown off.
"Morgan, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be doing very well, you don't even know how to walk through the gate?"
Lin Yun's soft voice echoed, and the group was stunned. A Heaven Rank powerhouse was actually attacked …
Outside the Merlin Family, the newly appointed Charlotte had just walked to the entrance when he saw this scene and a happy expression appeared on his face.
'Mafa Merlin is really too arrogant, he actually dared to attack a genuine Heaven Rank powerhouse. Moreover, that powerhouse's robe seems to have the symbol of the Odin Kingdom's Henry Family!
'That's a great family of the Odin Kingdom, their wealth might be greater than the entire Andalusia. They are truly a powerful mage force that can rival nations. Mafa Merlin actually offended a member of the Henry Family, hahaha, that's great.
'As long as other forces obtained this information, they definitely wouldn't approach Mafa Merlin. If the Henry Family wanted to deal with the Merlin Family, they wouldn't need to personally make a move, they would only need to reveal a bit of their wealth and they would be able to defeat the Merlin Family!'
Charlotte originally wanted to go in, but she hesitated. She stood outside the Merlin Family's residence and didn't go inside.
"Morgan, you fool, I already told you."
