Even if Lin Yun didn't seem to have any protection and was less than ten meters away from Layford, with his back facing him, Layford could only watch helplessly.
Seeing Lin Yun's actions, Layford's eyes were burning with rage.
'Less than ten meters away, with his back facing me and no protection, I only need a Dark Arrow to get rid of him. No one can stop me here, but I can't make a move. Does that guy really think I don't dare to make a move?!
'Damned guy, just you wait, just you wait. When the gathering starts, damned guy, I'll make you regret it. This time, I won't let you off so easily. I'll curse your soul and let your soul fall into the endless pain of hell. I'll let you suffer in hell for eternity.'
'I'll ruthlessly torture you to death, Mafa Merlin, you damned guy. Just you wait, not only will the benefits of the Raging Flame Plane be snatched away, but I'll also snatch away other things.
"Damned guy, let me see what a country bumpkin like you can obtain here. Trash will always be trash, no matter how much you hide, this is the gathering of Artisans. An Archmage Artisan, what kind of joke is this? I really don't know how you managed to sneak in!"
Layford couldn't find an opportunity to make a move, so he started using the purpose of the Starry Sky College's gathering to attack Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't pay attention to him and instead walked towards Raphael.
Raphael's expression darkened. Layford attacking Lin Yun was one thing, but he also attacked the others. The only one here that wasn't a Heaven Rank Artisan was his senior apprentice brother, Gurud. But everyone knew that Gurud was truly obsessed with alchemy. He spent all his time and energy on alchemy, which was why he was still a 9th Rank Archmage.
But Gurud's alchemy strength wasn't inferior to the other Artisans present, he was even a bit stronger than most of them.
Layford gnashed his teeth as he attacked Lin Yun, regretting not getting rid of Lin Yun last time. In the distance, Watby of the Hardward Family remained silent.
Although the Hardward Family was a reclusive alchemy family, they still belonged to the Andalusia Kingdom. When Layford belittled Lin Yun, he unconsciously included Watby.
Watby's lips curled into a cold smile.
'That idiot Mafa Merlin is really provoking himself. He just arrived in the Odin Kingdom and provoked a powerful enemy. The Jackson Family isn't weak in the Odin Kingdom, that guy is screwed.
'But Layford is even more stupid. He actually attacked Lin Yun in the field of alchemy, he is truly hopelessly stupid. Mafa Merlin's attainments in the field of alchemy have already reached an outrageous level.
'Sh * t, I really don't know how that guy could have such profound knowledge at most 30 years old. His attainments in the field of alchemy, especially potioneering, might have already reached the peak of the Artisan realm.
'That idiot Layford doesn't know this, but he is still shouting and belittling Mafa Merlin. Really, can't he see how those two guys from City in the Sky are looking at him as if he is an idiot?
'How could the Starry Sky College's people go to the Andalusia Kingdom to invite Mafa Merlin if they didn't know about his attainments?
'Let's fight, it would be best if these two idiots perish together. This kind of guy dying would be the best respect for alchemy. Idiots like them only think about other things all day, yet they are still Artisans. Truly damnable, they should all die.'
The reactions of the people present varied, but almost all of them were indifferent spectators. After all, the Artisans invited by the Starry Sky College weren't just from the Odin Kingdom. Apart from the Odin Kingdom, there were also Artisans from the Andalusia Kingdom and the Sten Kingdom, as well as some wandering Artisans roaming Noscent.
But most of the people here were Artisans of the Odin Kingdom. As the most powerful kingdom in Noscent, the Odin Kingdom's overall strength far surpassed the other two kingdoms.
Thus, most of the people here didn't react to Layford's territorial attack. After all, there were so many people here, and there were many people who had conflicts or even hatred between them. Who would care if there was a conflict between two people? When they first arrived, the Starry Sky College specially dispatched people to mediate the conflict, or to warn these guys not to cause trouble within the Starry Sky College.
However, it was very normal for people who had conflicts before to attack each other after meeting each other …
Layford gnashed his teeth in anger, regretting not clenching his teeth and risking offending the Starry Sky College to get rid of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun looked for Raphael and Gurud. After all, the only people here he knew and had a good relationship with were Raphael and Gurud.
The City in the Sky was a force that focused on alchemy, and three people came this time. Apart from Raphael and Gurud, there was also a 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse who was also an Artisan.
In terms of the number of Artisans, the City in the Sky had the most. As for the Artisans of the other forces, they didn't focus on alchemy. Most of them had one, and some had two.
Gurud was infatuated with alchemy and didn't react to Layford's attack. Instead, when he saw Lin Yun, he started discussing alchemy with Lin Yun.
Raphael managed to rescue Lin Yun with great difficulty.
"Sir Mafa, there are over twenty people here, all of them are Artisans of various forces. Only Artisans can participate in the gathering, others can't follow.
"I'll introduce you to the people here. You don't need to worry about that idiot Layford. That guy won't dare to cause any trouble during the gathering. The Starry Sky College attaches great importance to this gathering and absolutely won't let anyone ruin it.
"I won't introduce you to the Hardward Family of the Kingdom of Andalusia. You don't need to care about that guy, he's just a paranoid and crazy alchemist. Do you see those two guys with mechanical arms?"
Raphael said while looking in a direction to guide Lin Yun.
Lin Yun nodded. Just as he arrived, he noticed that the two mages' left arms were clearly mechanical. Moreover, they weren't just wrapped in a layer of skin, but rather, their arms had been chopped off and replaced with mechanical arms.
And in all of Noscent, there was only one thing they could do. The flesh and blood would always have an impact on some alchemy experiments, and mana would also affect the results of many alchemy experiments. Thus, they replaced one of their hands with an alchemy machine to ensure perfect operation and put an end to anything that could affect the results of the alchemy experiments.
As for mechanical arms, they could accomplish a lot of things that human hands couldn't. Moreover, without using mana, they could perform many special alchemy experiments with very high accuracy.
To be able to do this, to replace their left arm with an alchemy arm and still participate in the Starry Sky College's gathering, there was only one Family left, the Mosh Family.
They weren't a pure alchemy force. On the contrary, they were a mage force that focused on magic. But due to an unforeseen event a long time ago, a branch of the Mosh Family appeared, and that branch was specialized in alchemy.
This was something Lin Yun already knew, because the Mosh Family's mechanical alchemists would be very famous in the future. Many items with high precision and complexity that couldn't be crafted with the help of mana would be produced by the Mosh Family's alchemy of the highest quality.
And cutting off the arm and replacing it with a mechanical arm was also unique to this era. Over two millennia later, the Mosh Family's alchemists would find a way to fuse flesh and mechanical arms, perfectly balancing the advantages of both sides. That would also be the turning point where the Mosh Family's alchemist branch thoroughly suppressed the mage branch and became the Mosh Family's overlord.
"Those are two Artisans of the Mosh Family. They are very proficient in exquisite puppeteering and Magic Tool crafting. Moreover, the Magic Tools they craft are measuring tools used by alchemists with very high precision. Almost all the exquisite Magic Tools used in the Odin Kingdom's Alchemist Guild are produced by the Mosh Family.
"They are very frightening, and they replaced their arms with mechanical arms. Their fighting style is also different from that of ordinary mages. They are like a fusion of mages and puppets. Their fighting strength is also very frightening. They are a very powerful Family.
"Even if the Mosh Family is still dominated by orthodox mages, with only a small part of the alchemy branch, many people have already predicted that it wouldn't take long for the Mosh Family to become an alchemy family. After all, the Mosh Family's peak industries are supported by alchemists.
"These two are Reid Mosh and Kate Mosh, two of the three Artisans of the Mosh Family's alchemy branch. Maybe the alchemy branch will become the main branch by relying on the two of them …"
Raphael confidently said this guess. Lin Yun didn't say anything and only nodded.
2,200 years wasn't very long …
Mage forces mainly relied on mages. As long as the few peak mages were pure mages, the Mosh Family's alchemy branch would never be able to rise again.
And according to the direction of history, the Mosh Family wouldn't have a genius talented in alchemy or magic within the next two millennia. After all, mages were the foundation. A 5th Rank Heaven Mage wouldn't listen to the orders of a 1st Rank Heaven Artisan, unless the other side was a Saint Alchemist. But that was impossible.
Raphael introduced the Mosh Family members and then introduced another old man with grizzled hair. That guy was wearing a light green robe embroidered with all kinds of plants and ores. These were all raw materials for potioneering.
He was also wearing a crown of thorns on his head. Those were Mana Condensed Thorns that could stabilize one's mind and also prevent the corrosion of poisons. This was undoubtedly the best thing for a potioneering alchemist.
"That guy is called Gurrig. His hair looks completely white, but he is only five hundred years old. Moreover, with his strength at the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm and his proficiency in potioneering, he has only completed a small part of his life. It is said that he has the bloodline of the Forest Elves. That's why he has silver-white hair. He is also very talented in plants and potioneering.
"He is most proficient in potioneering. The plants and ores embroidered on his robe are all types of potions that he can refine. They are very powerful. A dean of the Starry Sky College once sent a message that he wanted to recruit Gurrig to do research in the Starry Sky College.
"He could even open up some precious research materials to him, but he refused. His research is in the outside world, searching for all kinds of plants and researching all kinds of potioneering materials. His research on plants is very deep. I even heard that the Hauss Family has a Forest Plane that is rich in all kinds of medicinal herbs. It was specially made for Gurrig's alchemy experiments."
Lin Yun nodded. He suddenly recalled something. In the records, many alchemists proficient in potioneering had participated in the creation of the Baptism Potion. Among them, the one with the most authority on plants was an alchemist with the surname Hauss. That person had a Forest Plane that was used to research plants. All the plants that could be found, as long as they weren't completely extinct, could be found in his Forest Plane.
But that person later destroyed the Forest Plane's Plane Source during an alchemy experiment, destroying the entire plane along with himself. But that person's research played a huge role in the emergence of the Baptism Potion.
Looking at Gurrig's appearance, Lin Yun could find some inconspicuous characteristics. Those were the characteristics of Forest Elves, and Forest Elves were famous for their longevity. Ordinary Forest Elves could live for over a thousand years. That guy had the bloodline of Forest Elves and was a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse. He might still look like this after living for a few millennia.
Lin Yun was a bit dazed as he thought of the future, but Raphael clearly misunderstood something.
"Sir Mafa, although Sir Hauss' temper isn't very good, anyone with strength in the field of potioneering can obtain his respect. If you want some special plants, I believe Sir Hauss wouldn't be stingy with your abilities in the field of potioneering.
"There is also the last one, Albert. Do you see that old mage holding a book? It looks like he already has one foot in the grave. He looks like an ordinary old man, but he is the most proficient Artisan here. It is said that he can already personally arrange some Low Rank Heaven Arrays!"
Lin Yun recovered and looked in the direction Raphael was pointing. It was an old man with a face so wrinkled that it could squash flies. He had messy white hair and was holding a magic book in one hand and a crystal ball in the other. Law runes were floating around the crystal ball, and countless data and runes were frantically flickering within the crystal ball.
That old Artisan named Albert was clearly doing some alchemy calculations and was completely immersed in his own world, simply ignoring the people outside.
A wisp of respect could be seen in Raphael's eyes.
"Sir Mafa, Sir Albert used to be a professor of the Starry Sky College and specialized in teaching the knowledge of arrays. He is known as the Array Basics Encyclopedia. He knows all the low rank knowledge regarding arrays as well as his own palm.
"Sir Albert is now traveling throughout Noscent, as well as the endless planes and the Endless Sea, in order to seek a breakthrough in alchemy." And Sir Albert's Family, the Einstein Family, is a family of powerful mages in the Odin Kingdom. Their bloodline always has a very special talent in a certain aspect.
"Some are a certain kind of magic, some are a certain kind of alchemy, and Sir Albert is the most talented person of the Einstein Family in the field of arrays in the past millennium. He is also the person with the deepest attainments."
After Raphael introduced the three of them, he looked around and casually introduced the others. However, the others were only given their names and the forces they belonged to. There was only a brief introduction of one or two sentences.
"Sir Mafa, you only need to know a little about these people. Only those three are the ones you need to pay attention to. They are very powerful in the Odin Kingdom, and their positions in their families are very high. Their attainments in the field of alchemy and their own strength are also very formidable."
After Raphael finished his introduction, he directly ignored the Jackson Family and the Hardward Family. The Jackson Family wasn't as powerful as the City in the Sky, and Layford couldn't represent the entire Jackson Family. If the Jackson Family started a war with the City in the Sky, the Jackson Family would definitely be destroyed.
The City in the Sky was a pure alchemy force. No one knew the exact location of their main City in the Sky. That huge war fortress was the biggest trump card of the City in the Sky. But the consumption to use it was too shocking, so they almost never used the main city of the City in the Sky.
But at the same time, no one was willing to become mortal enemies with the City in the Sky. Moreover, the City in the Sky's industry was related to alchemy items and they were followers of the Starry Sky College, so they didn't have any mortal enemies.
As for the Hardward Family, at least half of the Artisans here weren't pleasing to their eyes.
After Raphael finished introducing the Artisans to Lin Yun, he noticed that Lin Yun seemed to be staring at that ten-story mage tower and immediately explained to Lin Yun.
"Sir Mafa, you know the unwritten rules between mages. Being able to have a ten-story mage tower means that the master of this place is at least a 5th Rank Heaven Mage.
"This mage tower is emitting mana, showing that the master is here. If nothing unexpected happens, the person hosting this gathering should be the master of this mage tower, one of the vice-deans of the Starry Sky College, Sir Zeith. He is a 5th Rank Heaven Frost Mage and an Artisan proficient in puppeteering."
As Raphael said that, a wisp of mana fluctuations appeared on the entrance of the mage tower. That seemingly ordinary wooden door slowly opened, but the mana fluctuations emitted made everyone understand that even a 4th Rank Heaven powerhouse wouldn't be able to blast it open in a year.
