With a body, it would be a lot safer. Even if the body was destroyed, its soul would be able to escape.
Half an hour later, the Void Owl woke up. Whenever it walked on the ground, it would fall over. It seemed to be very uncomfortable, as if it had another body.
It didn't dare to complain to Lin Yun, and its round eyes were angrily glaring at Shawn.
Shawn grinned and slapped the Void Owl a dozen meters away.
"Idiot, you dare to glare at the great Lord Shawn? You are even more stupid than Xiuban …"
In the distance, the sleeping Xiuban didn't even open his eyes as he drowsily replied.
"Who is calling the great Lord Xiuban …"
The Void Owl became a lot more well-behaved after being taught a lesson by Shawn. After an hour, Lin Yun left the Demiplane with the Void Owl, who had yet to completely adapt, and handed it over to Faleau.
"This is Hughes, teach him Noscent's language. If anything happens, let him inform me."
After saying that, he gave Hughes the authority to enter the Natural Demiplane. Lin Yun listened to Faleau's report for a while before returning to the Demiplane to recuperate. Before the backlash was completely healed, he had to build a Planar Path so that others couldn't enter the Natural Demiplane. Only a guy like Hughes could enter the Natural Demiplane through the Planar Path after obtaining Lin Yun's authority.
The Gilded Rose's development had been very smooth recently. The Roosevelt Merchant Alliance, which had previously been looking for trouble, had been badly battered and suppressed by the Lincoln Merchant Alliance to the point where they couldn't raise their heads. It was only because of the support of the desert tribes that they were able to maintain their current state.
But on the side of the Odin Kingdom, many forces that had cooperated with the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance started siding with the Lincoln Merchant Alliance. After all, the internal struggles of the Sten Kingdom didn't affect the Odin Kingdom too much. The forces of the Odin Kingdom saw that the gap was so big, and in order to pursue benefits, they either sided with the Lincoln Merchant Alliance or made the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance give up some of their benefits.
They couldn't even protect themselves, so how could they have the power to pay attention to the Gilded Rose? Now, they would take a detour whenever they saw the Gilded Rose, afraid of clashing with it. When the Gilded Rose dragged them back, the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance's situation in the Sten Kingdom would become even more unbearable.
One of the seats in the House of Lords had already been thrown out. Although it wasn't an extra seat with the right to speak and was at most a vote, the significance of this vote was too great. At a critical moment, a single vote could change the outcome.
The Gilded Rose didn't feel like paying attention to the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance. They had already been miserably suppressed, but it was impossible for them to be completely destroyed. The desert tribes of the Sten Kingdom definitely wouldn't allow the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance to fall. What would happen in the end would be an internal matter of the Sten Kingdom.
The Gilded Rose was busy taking advantage of the current opportunity to develop. The third batch of branches had already opened. Not counting the main branch in Neverwinter City, the thirty-eight branches had already spread to all the important cities in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. Their potioneering market was the first in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom, thoroughly suppressing the Rodney Family.
But the Rodney Family didn't react to this matter. As long as it was a member of the Rodney Family, they would almost never appear in the same place as a member of the Gilded Rose. Even if there was a conflict between their subordinates, they would at most talk about it. No one from the Rodney Family would dare to escalate the conflict.
Wilder and the Elders of the Rodney Family were all walking around the Gilded Rose. Who would dare to play any tricks?
Lin Yun returned to the Natural Demiplane and sat at the peak of the Sky Pillar. He started sorting out the Laws that had been shaken. The Natural Demiplane's self-recovery ability was very powerful. The Laws evolved on their own and would recover in two months, but Lin Yun didn't let go of this opportunity.
Personally sorting out the Laws would not only make the backlash recover faster, but it would also increase his connection with the Natural Demiplane and his control over it.
Lin Yun was cultivating in the Natural Demiplane. Who knew what the people outside would do to the mark he left behind. After all, this was Neverwinter City, and it was the core of the Gilded Rose. Let alone the fact that no one knew about it, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to come here without making a sound.
Lin Yun didn't appear, but Faelor was in a terrible situation.
Hughes was a natural-born Extraordinary lifeform, and a soul body at that. He wasn't born from a Void Colossus, but was nurtured naturally by space in some special protected places. If not for that, he wouldn't have such powerful spatial abilities.
As long as there was space, it was as natural to Hughes as a fish swimming in water.
An innate Extraordinary Lifeform naturally had innate wisdom. Learning Noscent's language was too easy. After teaching it once, Hughes could communicate in Noscent's language without directly using soul fluctuations.
Hughes was a fast learner, and this country bumpkin Void Behemoth that had always been wandering the endless void was attracted by Noscent's things. Noscent's flourishing world, even a tree was more wonderful than the desolation of the endless void.
The country bumpkin Hughes was curious about everything, especially after tasting Noscent's food. He couldn't stop himself.
In a month, the country bumpkin Hughes had become a wily old fox Hughes.
"Faelor, I'm hungry, the Great Lord Hughes is hungry, where's my mousse cake? Damn, this is the mousse cake made by that small-eyed idiot in the eastern part of the city. That idiot profiteer actually put sweetener in it. If I don't want their things, I'll smash their shop another day.
"He actually dared to deceive the Great Lord Hughes and asked for a cake made by that noble's workshop in the western part of the city. Their desserts are made from the best sugar tree sap …"
Faelor bitterly smiled and faintly shook his head.
'I don't know how Sir Merlin did it, but that Hughes is really terrifying. In a month, he learned eight languages and communicating in Nesser isn't an issue. In a month, he changed from a country bumpkin to a wily old fox whose curses are even more fluent than the gossipy woman next door.
'Forget it, it's just a dessert, it wouldn't cost much. With Lord Hughes' frightening power, it would be too easy to ask him to do something for me.
'Yesterday, I found that idiot selling fake Gilded Rose potions in less than five minutes, and I couldn't even see how he left. I couldn't even feel spatial fluctuations when he used spatial power. Even 4th or 5th Rank Heaven Mages wouldn't be able to do something like that.'
Faelor smiled and took out a six-inch piece of mousse cake.
"Sir Hughes, this kind of cake is very hard to buy. There are very few of them every day and only the most skilled artisans can make them.
"Every piece has to be reserved in advance. I spent a lot of money to buy this from someone, so you should eat it sparingly …"
Hughes' eyes narrowed as he swallowed the cake that he had said he didn't want before taking small bites of the new cake.
His soul fluctuations involuntarily spread out as his wings patted Faelor's shoulder.
"Faelor, well done. If not for Master saying that I can't cause trouble in Neverwinter City, I would have gone to eat my fill.
"Being able to buy it through normal means is already very good. If you have any trouble, just tell Sir Hughes and I'll help you settle it.
"Oh, the taste is too wonderful, it's the best enjoyment.
"It's really good to follow Master here. You can't even find shit in that damned void …"
Hughes mumbled as he ate the cake, no longer paying attention to Faelor. Faelor also squinted his eyes and quietly left. That Hughes was hard to please, but he was easy to talk to. As long as there was a delicious dessert, nothing was a problem.
At the same time, the Rodney Family had two more visitors.
Two female mages wearing ash black robes, looking to be in their thirties with strange expressions were calmly waiting in the Rodney Family's reception room. These two mages were calmly sitting there, seemingly blending in with their surroundings. Their presence was terrifying, and the servants in charge of serving them ignored them several times.
On the other side, Wilder, who had just finished meditating for the day, heard his subordinate's report. His face was completely dark and his voice was almost squeezed out of his clenched teeth.
"What? Those two damned b * tches actually came again? Tell them to f * ck off! "
A worried expression could be seen on the Great Elder's face.
"Patriarch, they are a bit stronger than our Family. Moreover, the people of their Family are very strange, they have all kinds of talents. If we directly offend them, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good …"
Wilder sneered.
"Did you forget who caused our Rodney Family to become like this? If it wasn't for those two damned b * tches provoking us, would we have gone against Mafa Merlin? Would we have been greedy for the Gilded Rose?
Would the ancestor be forced to stay in the forbidden area for a hundred years by Sir Astrologer? "During these hundred years, we should keep a low profile. After all, the news of the ancestor staying in the forbidden area for a hundred years can't be leaked.
"Those two b * tches came to look for us, I'm afraid it's to deal with Mafa Merlin. They aren't going to make a move themselves, but they want us to pay a heavy price to deal with Mafa Merlin, they are simply delusional!
"If it wasn't for the ancestor, I would have made them stay here for eternity!
Tell them that I'm studying with the ancestor in the forbidden area and can't be contacted! Tell them to f * ck off! "
Wilder angrily left the room. 'They really went to the forbidden area …'
The Great Elder helplessly smiled and personally went to the reception room.
"Esteemed guests, I am truly sorry. Our patriarch has been summoned away by our ancestor. Without permission, we do not dare to enter the family's forbidden grounds. I have already prepared the most delicious banquet for nobles in the kingdom. I hope you can understand …"
The Great Elder had an apologetic expression and was very humble and polite.
But those two female mages stood up at the same time and a faint voice came from the illusory figure.
"It's fine, we sisters took the liberty to come here, it's really rude. I hope we can see Patriarch Wilder next time. We still have some matters to attend to, thank you for your hospitality …"
The two female mages left the Rodney Family, and it didn't take long before they appeared at the headquarters of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance in the Odin Kingdom.
They stayed in the reception room for over an hour, but they still didn't see the person in charge of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance.
Two hours later, Reynolds, who had just left a banquet, immediately received a report from his subordinate.
Before he could finish listening, Reynolds felt a little uncomfortable …
"Two female mages? Wearing black and grey robes? Looking very obedient? "
Hearing these keywords, Reynolds' eyelids twitched.
'These two damned b * tches, they actually came again, trying to trick me into dealing with the Gilded Rose?
'I must have been kicked in the head by a Pig Beastman to believe in that damned temptation. The Gilded Rose doesn't have the support of any major force, it has no strength, only technology?
'Do they really think I'm an idiot? 'If I hadn't believed those two b * tches, I wouldn't have wanted to monopolize the Gilded Rose's universal core technology.
'If I had been honest and followed normal business negotiations, I might have been able to cooperate very easily. The ones who first noticed the Gilded Rose were our Roosevelt Merchant Alliance, not those idiots from the Lincoln Merchant Alliance.
'Those idiots waited a long time for us to act before reacting to the value of the universal core technology. No, I'm afraid they only wanted to set themselves against our Roosevelt Merchant Alliance at the start.
'Sh * t, I'm too stupid. If the headquarters knew that I listened to those two b * tches and ended up like this, I might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
'The headquarters' research has already produced results. The universal core technology might not be at the peak, but it can be mass-produced. The highest requirement is for a Master Alchemist to make it, and the most important thing is the materials!
'Those materials are completely new, never before seen. None of the known planes can produce such materials, not even similar ones. The Gilded Rose doesn't have the support of any force? 'What a joke …
'To be able to find that kind of material, wouldn't it mean that a newly discovered plane was already in the process of being developed?
'A force that can conquer and develop a plane on its own only has a bit of technology? 'That technology isn't something those stupid alchemists of the merchant alliance can research.
'I absolutely can't let people know that I made this stupid decision because of outsiders, absolutely not. Should I get rid of those two b * tches? 'But their origins are very powerful. If it's exposed, everything will be exposed …'
Reynolds' expression kept changing. He looked at his trusted aide beside him and lowered his voice like a thief …
"These two … women, tell them that I was invited to a Marquis' banquet. The Roosevelt Merchant Alliance has been in some trouble recently and I haven't returned for a few days … No, just say that I haven't returned for almost a month. I've been fighting for the Merchant Alliance …"
After saying that, Reynolds saw that the people next to him didn't seem to understand too well and sighed.
"Women aren't easy to provoke, especially powerful women. They are all poisonous roses with thorns …
"Eh, remember, don't tell anyone about this …"
In an instant, a few people from the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance revealed a hint of understanding, and everyone's mouth revealed a hint of a knowing smile.
Especially the confidant who came to report. He recalled that those two women seemed to be Heaven Rank powerhouses and looked at Reynolds with admiration.
"Don't worry, my lord. No one will know about this. Don't worry."
The few of them left, and Reynolds also hurriedly escaped. The few confidants smiled and looked at each other, obviously thinking that this was Reynolds's romantic debt, and as subordinates, they naturally helped their immediate superior to deceive him …
In less than half an hour, the two mages were politely escorted out by the people of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance.
They turned to look at the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance's manor, and the two mages' expressions were so cold that the surrounding air almost froze.
"These damned fools, none of them are willing to see us!"
One of the female Mages was trembling with anger, a layer of dark gray mist seemed to be surrounding her body. Her originally weak presence suddenly increased, and the insects that ignored these two Mages and approached them instantly died. Every insect's body turned dark gray, and then, as if they had been corroded, they were all forcefully dissolved.
"Forget it, we can't rely on these people. These idiots would be like hyenas smelling blood if they could easily get some benefits.
"But if they can't get any benefits and are bitten instead, they will immediately give up. They can't be relied on, we have to personally make a move.
"If we let the Gilded Rose develop like this, it won't be easy to deal with it …"
"Is there any progress on the Raging Flame Plane?"
"There is no progress. The benefits of the Raging Flame Plane have already been divided, and almost all of them are related to that damned Mafa Merlin. Those muscle-brained idiots now have a very good impression of Mafa Merlin. If we destroy this relationship, those stupid Raging Flame Beastmen will definitely start a war.
"All the forces of the Raging Flame Plane will target us, and many things will be thoroughly exposed. Forget about the Raging Flame Plane, let's just target the Odin Kingdom's Gilded Rose. Finding an opportunity to kill Mafa Merlin would be the best choice!"
The two mages quietly left, and it didn't take long before they arrived at an ordinary-looking material shop in Neverwinter City.
After entering the back of the shop, there was a room filled with all kinds of alchemy arrays, and an ordinary-looking mage was waiting inside.
"Good day, Lady Amy, Lady Sunny."
The two cold mages nodded, while Amy looked at the male mage with a dull expression.
"Sir Neo, you fought with that Mafa Merlin last time. How do you think we should get rid of that Mafa Merlin?"
