Only now did Lin Yun understand that it was most likely because every time he touched the Reincarnation Eyes, he would attract puppets, and the number of these puppets would increase every time. He had only touched the Reincarnation Eyes for the second time, yet he had already attracted five puppets. By the time he touched the Reincarnation Eyes for the tenth time, the number of puppets would reach over twenty.
At that time, even if he had three or four Magic Arrays, he would still have to flee in front of these puppets.
Moreover, Lin Yun didn't dare to be certain that after touching the Reincarnation Eyes so many times, these puppets would still be equivalent to 9th Rank Great Swordsmen.
If it had been a High Mage, or even an Archmage, let alone three or four Magic Arrays, even five Magic Arrays would have been enough to make them close their eyes and wait for death.
Fortunately, there were only five now.
Although there were two more compared to the last time, Lin Yun now had two Magic Arrays, and the increase in power wasn't just a little bit. This time, it only took Lin Yun ten minutes to deal with these five puppets.
Then, Lin Yun didn't dare to touch the Reincarnation Eyes again.
That wave of puppets had already confirmed Lin Yun's conjecture. The next wave would most likely be seven puppets. At that time, Lin Yun would have to face seven 9th Rank Great Swordsmen. Even if Lin Yun already had two Magic Arrays and a 3rd Magic Array was in the process of being nurtured, facing seven 9th Rank Great Swordsmen at the same time was still pressuring Lin Yun!
Fortunately, the creator of these puppets was very generous.
After dealing with these five puppets, Lin Yun obtained five level 18 mana crystals. This was very important to Lin Yun. It meant that Lin Yun would have the ability to fight for a long time. As long as his other supplies could keep up, Lin Yun would be able to fight for a long time in this shrine.
Moreover, Lin Yun could also use these five mana crystals to set up some arrays in the shrine.
Although Lin Yun could only set up some low level arrays because of the lack of magic materials, no matter how low level an array was, it was still a tailor-made advantage on the battlefield. To the current Lin Yun, it was a 20% increase in power.
Moreover, he was already in the depths of the prince tomb, and the poisonous fog of the Poison Fog Canyon could no longer penetrate. He didn't even need the Magic Spring potion, so Lin Yun had plenty of time to attack more Magic Arrays.
Thus, Lin Yun wasn't worried at all.
After completing all his preparations, Lin Yun slept next to the altar. On the next day, Lin Yun was in his best state and started touching the Reincarnation Eyes for the third time.
…
Over a month passed in a flash. Lin Yun hadn't shown himself, but the Gilded Rose was already on the right track. The old butler was in charge of the general direction, Faleau was in charge of the alchemy techniques, and even the newly formed mercenary group already had William Merlin as its leader.
Speaking of William Merlin …
That guy was now thoroughly staying in the Gilded Rose, refusing to leave even after being ridiculed by Faleau a few times.
Every time Faleau mocked him, William Merlin would sneer, thinking, 'Do you think I'm an idiot? How many people would have the opportunity to follow a Master Alchemist? Not to mention that he was a Master Alchemist in his twenties. He would definitely step into the Artisan realm in his lifetime. At that time, as an Artisan's trusted aide, his name would go down in history. 'Leave? Only an idiot would leave …'
As for the Merlin Family, for some reason, they didn't recall William Merlin.
Thus, William Merlin's position in the Gilded Rose became more stable. He put in a lot of effort every day to train those fifty 5th Rank Mages, and after a month, it actually had some results. Although no one had leveled up, their overall fighting strength had greatly increased.
Today was the same. William Merlin arrived at the Gilded Rose early in the morning and sent someone to inform those fifty 5th Rank Mages. He planned to take them to the Mercenary Guild to take two missions and gain some combat experience, when a carriage stopped at the entrance of the Gilded Rose.
"There's business so early in the morning?" Faleau suddenly had a happy expression. After working in the Black Horn Auction House for so many years, he still had some insight. Just from the decorations of that carriage, he could tell that it was a rich and expensive carriage. That kind of person could easily take out an order for a few hundred thousand golds.
"That's trouble coming." William Merlin was somewhat pale. He looked at that carriage with worry.
"Cousin, you can be jealous …" Faleau smiled as he brushed past William Merlin and walked towards that carriage.
"Fuck, who's your cousin!" A vein throbbed on William Merlin's forehead. 'I don't know what's wrong with that scoundrel, he's always calling me cousin.
Moreover, every time he calls me cousin, William Merlin always feels that scoundrel's gaze is very strange, as if he isn't calling me cousin, but some ridiculous nickname … '
William Merlin naturally didn't know …
Every time he called him cousin, he would think of Boss Merlin's words, "He might have been bitten by a dog when he was a child."
"Hey, wait!" After William Merlin cursed, he discovered that Faleau had already gone to greet the carriage. This time, William Merlin's expression suddenly changed and he wanted to call out to Faleau.
Unfortunately, it was too late …
Just as Faleau reached the side of the carriage, a huge force slammed into his chest. This young Great Alchemist was fiercely sent flying from the street back to the Gilded Rose. The sound of his heavy landing made even William, who wasn't far away, feel numb.
"How is it, are you alright?" William Merlin jogged over and carefully examined Faleau's injuries. After discovering that he had only suffered a slight shock, he took out a bottle of Health Potion from his pocket and handed it over, not forgetting to gloat. "I already told you, this is trouble."
"Fuck …" Faleau felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a huge hammer. Every bone in his body was aching, and after drinking the Health Potion from William Merlin, he finally had the strength to curse.
"If you don't have anything to do, go to the side and wait. What business, you think you're so smart …" William Merlin said a few harsh words before walking out of the Gilded Rose and stopping in front of the luxurious carriage. "Raven, although you are a 9th Rank Great Mage, aren't you a bit too heavy-handed?"
"It's none of your business, William Merlin. You dared to approach my carriage without permission, you are truly courageous." Following this ice-cold voice, a young man walked out of the carriage. He seemed to be in his thirties and was wearing a well-tailored black robe with exquisite silver patterns on his cuffs. Just the blazing mana fluctuations showed that this was a very rare Magic Tool.
Moreover, the mana fluctuations emitted by the magic staff embedded with a Crimson Crystal seemed to be breathing. That was definitely a sign that the Magic Tool was psychic.
"…" William Merlin's expression suddenly froze. In fact, when he saw this carriage, William Merlin knew that it was definitely Raven of the Watson Family.
Only an ignorant idiot like Faleau wouldn't recognize the Watson Family's crest on the carriage.
Sword and staff crossed …
In the entire Kingdom of Andalusia, there were no more than twenty families that could use weapons as their crest.
And only the Watson Family could use a sharp sword and a magic staff as their emblem, because this meant that the Watson Family had at least three Archmages and three Sword Saints in its history.
Even the Merlin Family couldn't compare.
Among the numerous families of the kingdom, the Watson Family was second to none in terms of history. Their history could even be traced back to the middle of the 3rd Dynasty.
Throughout the generations, they had produced geniuses in large numbers, with a total of seven Archmages and nine Sword Saints. There was even a rumor that the Watson Family's territory, the Resting Orchid Family, had an elder who had survived the 3rd Dynasty and was a terrifying existence that had already surpassed the Archmage realm.
In comparison, the Merlin Family, which had risen after the founding of the Kingdom of Andalusia, couldn't compare to the Watson Family in terms of history. But fortunately, the geniuses that appeared in the Merlin Family weren't any less than the Watson Family. Almost every generation would produce an Archmage, allowing the two Families to maintain a delicate balance.
However, the battle between the two great clans had never stopped. After more than a thousand years, it had already extended to various fields, from business, politics, and territory to resources, talents, reputation, and even banquets and auctions. As long as the two great clans appeared at the same time, they would definitely fight until blood flowed …
Like this time, the fight for the Nether Iron Ore.
The cause was an unconfirmed Planar Coordinate, but when the two Families got involved, it immediately set off a huge uproar. The Merlin Family's luck was relatively good. They had obtained the news of the Nether Iron Ore at the start, and after William Merlin arrived, they quickly reached an agreement with Lin Yun. A large amount of Nether Iron Ore would soon fall into the hands of the Merlin Family.
But the Watson Family was able to survive from the 3rd Dynasty until now, so they naturally weren't vegetarians.
Just as the Merlin Family made some movements, the Watson Family immediately reacted. As one of the heirs of the Family, Raven Watson, was directly sent to Thousand Sails City.
Raven's status was a lot higher than William Merlin's.
He was one of the three heirs of the Watson Family, and his strength had already reached the 9th Rank of the Great Mage realm.
Just from this, it could be seen that the Watson Family was determined to obtain this batch of Nether Iron Ore!
