The problem was that everything Shawn said was the truth.
Lin Yun had truly relied on Shawn's help to come back from Prince Barov's tomb alive. This left Lin Yun speechless.
The mechanism of the Reincarnation Eyes and the puppets was just as Lin Yun had expected. Every time he touched the Reincarnation Eyes, a batch of puppets would be alarmed, and each batch would have one or two more than the previous batch. At first, there weren't many puppets alarmed.
Thus, after every battle, Lin Yun would only need to rest for a few hours before he could touch the Reincarnation Eyes again. After seven or eight times, Lin Yun had accumulated over ten thousand runes, and at the same time, the number of Magic Arrays within his body had reached three.
With three Magic Arrays, Lin Yun could already complete six kinds of arrays, and the power of each array would surpass the previous Elemental Shock.
But while Lin Yun's fighting strength was rapidly increasing, the number of puppets also kept increasing.
By the time Lin Yun touched the Reincarnation Eyes for the fifteenth time, the number of puppets had reached over thirty, and they were all existences equivalent to 9th Rank Great Swordsmen. Even if Lin Yun had three Magic Arrays, it would still be somewhat strenuous to deal with them.
Afterwards, Lin Yun had no choice but to slow down his pace of touching the Reincarnation Eyes.
After every battle, Lin Yun would spend at least a day to digest and ponder before daring to touch the Reincarnation Eyes again.
After half a month, Lin Yun smoothly had four Magic Arrays.
But from that time on, Lin Yun felt that he was walking on a tightrope. Not only would there be several dozen puppets every time, but they were also no longer limited to swordsman types. On average, there would be a few Great Mage puppets among the ten Great Swordsman puppets.
This was not as simple as one plus one equals two …
The appearance of the Great Mage Puppet destroyed most of the tactics Lin Yun had previously formulated. Lin Yun had no choice but to rethink his plan. Moreover, these were two completely different types of puppets. Even if it was just some basic coordination, it was enough to push the difficulty of the entire battle to a new height.
Thus, Lin Yun fell into a bitter battle once again. It took him no less than three hours to eliminate this batch of puppets.
Moreover, Lin Yun knew that with the appearance of the Great Mage Puppet, his days wouldn't be as easy as before.
And that was indeed the case. In the next twenty days, Lin Yun only dared to touch the Reincarnation Eyes once every two days. Moreover, the battles he encountered were getting more and more difficult. In the final battle, among the Great Mages and Great Swordsmen, there were actually three High Mages.
Although Lin Yun already had five Magic Arrays and already had the power to contend against High Mages, the appearance of three High Mages still easily forced Lin Yun into a desperate situation. In the end, it was thanks to Shawn's burst of power that Lin Yun was able to survive that battle.
This way, Shawn had something to say …
Shawn had been absorbing the mana of the level-18 magical crystals every day for more than a month, and had already recovered about 10% of his strength. However, with the eruption this time, the power that he had painstakingly accumulated was completely consumed. Shawn impolitely requested that all the level-18 magical crystals he had obtained this time should belong to him!
Lin Yun had to spend a lot of effort and patience to get six from Shawn.
But to Lin Yun, the mana crystals weren't the most important thing.
Lin Yun's harvest from this trip to the prince tomb was too great.
The most important harvest wasn't the Spirit Devouring Magic Staff, nor was it Shawn, it wasn't even the Magic Array that had reached five.
Lin Yun's true harvest was the huge amount of runes he had accumulated from touching the Reincarnation Eyes a few dozen times.
Lin Yun calculated that he had accumulated at least a hundred thousand runes this time!
If news of this spread, even High Mages might go crazy. To a mage, two kinds of accumulation were the most important, one was the accumulation of mana, and the other was the accumulation of runes.
Mana came from meditation, while runes came from knowledge.
There were no shortcuts to these two kinds of accumulations, especially the accumulation of runes. Every mage was like this, spending countless time and energy just to accumulate more runes.
The more runes there were, the more power there was.
This was especially true for Lin Yun, who had the Magic Array.
The number of runes needed for the Magic Array could make any Great Mage despair, but at the same time, the power of the Magic Array was enough to make any Great Mage jealous.
But now, even Lin Yun's Magic Array couldn't transform any more runes. After forming five Magic Arrays, Lin Yun temporarily stopped, because Lin Yun already felt that he was gradually unable to control this frightening power. He had to spend some time familiarizing himself with it.
Now, Lin Yun already had five Magic Arrays, and there were still several tens of thousands of runes that hadn't been transformed.
From this amount, it could be imagined how cruel Lin Yun had been in the prince tomb.
Lin Yun believed that even the future Master Alchemist of the Cloud Tower wouldn't have touched the Reincarnation Eyes as many times as he did.
To Lin Yun, there were no obstacles on the path to the High Mage realm, he only needed time.
Once he reached the High Mage realm, his nine Magic Arrays would fuse together. At that time, with the True Spirit Magic Tool in hand, he would even be able to fight an Archmage.
At that time, he would truly have his own magic power.
'I'll have to think of a way to master the Book of Death the next time I enter the Bone Plane …' After recalling the battle in the prince tomb, Lin Yun left the alchemy laboratory.
On the way, he met William Merlin, who had just returned from the Mercenary Guild.
"Cousin, wait …" William Merlin hurriedly called out to Lin Yun, a worried expression on his face. "That Raven Watson seems to have returned to Okland …"
"What is it?"
"I mean, the Watson Family might make some moves after Raven Watson returns. You know that the Nether Iron Ore in your hands has always been the focus of the two families. Raven Watson's return might bring trouble to the Gilded Rose …"
William Merlin's worries weren't without reason.
The Watson Family's influence in Okland was something that even the Merlin Family was afraid of. If they really wanted to seize the Nether Iron Ore, let alone the Gilded Rose, even the Sage Tower would be pressured.
"You mean to say that Raven Watson might bring the others?"
"Yes."
"Good, let's guess who Raven Watson will bring …" Lin Yun thought for a bit before calling William Merlin to sit on the side. "I feel that it should be two High Mages. I don't need to say anything, I'll deal with them."
"Okay." William Merlin nodded.
Although a Great Mage wanting to deal with two High Mages sounded a bit strange, after thinking about it, this Great Mage wasn't an ordinary Great Mage. In the lobby of the Gilded Rose, he had caught a 9th Rank Great Mage as if he was catching a chicken. Thinking about it that way, it didn't seem too strange.
"Naturally, we can't rule out the possibility that the Watson Family is determined enough to directly send Raven Watson over with a large group of people …"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"That's even simpler."
"Ah?" William Merlin suddenly froze. 'Why would it be simpler to bring a large group of people? Wouldn't a large group of people be harder to deal with than two High Mages? '
"Think about it, what would the forces of Thousand Sails City think if Raven Watson brought a large group of people over? At that time, I wouldn't even need to make a move, those forces would ruthlessly deal with them. "
"That's true …" William Merlin thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, but he quickly thought of a terrifying possibility. "But what if …"
"Are you trying to say, what if the Watson Family sends an Archmage?"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"This is even simpler than Watson bringing a large group of people."
"Ah?"
"If an Archmage of the Watson Family comes, then what is the Merlin Family doing?"
"…" William Merlin immediately understood when he heard this.
Indeed, what was the Merlin Family doing?
After all, the two Families had been fighting for over a millennium, and although they still maintained a fragile balance on the surface, they had already reached a point where they wouldn't rest until one side was wiped out. If the Watson Family dared to send an Archmage, then the Merlin Family would dare to destroy the Watson Family.
This was almost certain …
Daring to let their strongest fighting force leave the battlefield while the two Families were entangled was simply like taking off their pants and waiting to be raped.
In fact, this was a common problem among all forces.
The Watson Family was like this, the Ash Tower was like this, and the Black Tower was also like this.
Every powerful force was facing an equally powerful opponent.
They mutually checked and restrained each other, resulting in the current situation. If a force didn't have an opponent, they would have already unified Noscent.
Naturally, if they could eliminate the Gilded Rose with a flick of their fingers and conveniently take the Nether Iron Vein, then no force would be willing to refuse. Let alone the Watson Family, even the peak forces of Thousand Sails City wouldn't dare to say that they didn't have such thoughts.
The problem was that the current Gilded Rose couldn't be eliminated with a flick of their fingers. Not to mention the huge wealth gained from monopolizing Thousand Sails City's alchemy business, just the young Master Alchemist hidden behind the Gilded Rose was enough to make many forces not dare to act blindly without thinking.
The resources a Master Alchemist could use were truly frightening.
