The other side hadn't said anything, but they had already started doing so many things. Lin Yun shook his head, feeling a bit helpless. He originally didn't want to get involved with these lunatics, but it looked like it wasn't just Max who had made up his mind. The Crown of Thorns had also made up their minds.
However, whenever he thought about what these lunatics would do, Lin Yun didn't want to accept the Crown of Thorns. He taught them about bloodline transplants and pointed them in the right direction. Perhaps these lunatics would do even more outrageous things.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, they don't have any ill intentions."
Faleau left in a daze. Lin Yun wasn't in the mood to keep looking for information in the Starry Sky College, there was too much scattered information. Finding useful information from this vast sea of information wasn't an easy task.
At most, he could find some uncertain information, and the result of that information was that the 73rd God had indeed reincarnated in the Odin Kingdom, but he couldn't be sure of the specific location. He could only confirm that the location of his reincarnation was most likely in the center of the Odin Kingdom.
The Odin Kingdom was roughly divided into two parts, the south and the north. In the beginning, when the Odin Kingdom had just been established, the Odin royalty received the inheritance of the 3rd Dynasty. The royal family and some great nobles at that time took root in the Odin Kingdom, while the northern region was the territory of most of the remaining mage forces and nobles.
Although the strength of these mage forces and small nobles couldn't compare to the southern region of the Odin Kingdom, their numbers were very large. As time passed, the gap between the northern and southern regions slowly shrunk. Some mage forces declined, while others rose. Now, the difference between the northern and southern regions wasn't huge, but overall, the southern region was slightly stronger.
As a border, the central region only had some very weak forces sandwiched in between to act as a buffer. Now, everyone tacitly agreed that the narrow and long central region of the Odin Kingdom could be considered the weakest part of the Odin Kingdom. The 73rd God was most likely to reincarnate there, because it was the safest place and he would have enough time to grow.
Unfortunately, that central region was only over a kilometer wide, but it ran through the entire Odin Kingdom. He couldn't determine its approximate location, and he might not be able to find it even after a few hundred years.
After sighing, Lin Yun massaged his temples. The huge amount of information he had gathered over the past two months was 99% useless. It was very difficult to analyze any useful information.
But although he couldn't find the approximate location of the 73rd God, he did find some other useful information.
The conditions needed to build the Shelter Tower were very harsh. Not to mention the large amount of precious materials, many of the components couldn't be made by humans. Even a Saint Alchemist couldn't make these components perfectly and could only use substitutes.
But Lin Yun already knew what would happen to an incomplete Shelter Tower. The Shelter Tower had to be complete, and it had to be perfect.
Thus, some of the components needed to be made by other races. The Firerock Dwarves already had them. Originally, the Firerock Dwarves were the most difficult. After all, it was recorded that the remnants of the Firerock Dwarves appeared in Noscent over ten thousand years later. There was no record of who discovered the Firerock Dwarves or where they were discovered.
The Firerock Dwarves had been found, but there was still no news of the other races. Lin Yun hadn't expected to find some traces of Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires in the Starry Sky College's library.
Moreover, it wasn't too long ago. Over a hundred years ago, someone discovered an underground passage in the western part of the Odin Kingdom. The author of that travel note was one of the first people to discover that passage. They discovered many special races underground, including Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires.
These two races lived in Noscent during the Nesser Dynasty. At that time, Cave Goblins were one of the slave races of the Chromatic Dragons. They built lairs for the Chromatic Dragons, and every Chromatic Dragon's lairs were built by these Cave Goblins. But at that time, Cave Goblins had a very low status and could be considered the lowest race.
They didn't have much fighting power and didn't have any first-rate powerhouses. These guys were bound to be the lowest race, and the Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires were even more miserable. They were only food for the Chromatic Dragons. Young Black Dragons especially liked Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires, and these guys were the favorite snacks of the young Black Dragons.
With the destruction of the Nesser Dynasty, the Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires were destroyed along with the Nesser Dynasty. There were still some survivors in the 3rd Dynasty, but by the middle of the 3rd Dynasty, no traces of Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires could be seen. From that time onwards, they no longer appeared in Noscent.
What was recorded in this travelogue was only a description. This High Mage didn't recognize the Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires, he only treated them as different races. From this description, Lin Yun instantly recognized that these were the Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires he was looking for.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to this description when this travelogue was left behind, or it could be said that those who saw it didn't recognize the Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires. Even the passage leading underground was destroyed a few years later. Some forces used a large number of powerhouses and resources to dig a passage, but unfortunately, after digging for over a kilometer, they still didn't find anything. They only dug an underground river.
Now that there were no clues, Lin Yun knew the approximate location. As long as he found a way to enter the underground world, he would most likely be able to find the Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Vampires.
Unable to obtain any more useful information, Lin Yun left the Starry Sky College and turned towards the small mountain where Agalon was. After going up once again, he discovered that Agalon still hadn't returned to Noscent. It had already been a year, but Agalon still hadn't returned. Lin Yun couldn't help feeling a bit worried.
'Sir Agalon has already been in the Starry Sky Battlefield for over a year, yet he still hasn't returned. He must have encountered some trouble. He definitely knows that I have a way to return to Noscent after getting lost, so there shouldn't be any risk of him getting lost. Since he still hasn't returned, he must have encountered some trouble, or something important.
'Both are very dangerous. The endless void, the Starry Sky Battlefield … Who is the enemy? He seems to have been fighting with the enemy for a very long time. Unfortunately, he didn't find any clues the last time he went to the Starry Sky Battlefield. Everything was messed up by the Starry Sky Beasts.
Lin Yun shook his head and left Agalon's small mountain. Agalon hadn't returned, so Lin Yun didn't plan on going to the Starry Sky Battlefield. An indescribable sense of urgency kept surging up, and this sense of urgency wasn't related to the Starry Sky College's crisis, but rather to an even greater crisis.
Thus, the construction of the Shelter Tower had to be put on the agenda. It would be best if they could complete the semi-finished Shelter Tower within ten years. The gathering of materials was already more than half done, and the rest were materials that couldn't be found in Noscent. This was a rough goal, but the races that needed to participate in the construction were still lacking. This was the most urgent need.
After returning to the Gilded Rose, Faleau appeared with a strange expression.
"Sir Merlin, someone previously asked me if I wanted to open a branch of the Gilded Rose in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. If I wanted to, he could help, but he could only help the Gilded Rose by opening a branch in Nile City at the edge of the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. There, he could get the help of the city lord, Viscount Nile …"
This was clearly something he had been thinking about for a long time, but Faleau didn't seem happy at all. Instead, he looked apprehensive and worried.
"Sir Merlin, who is helping us? Everyone can see that there is a hidden force helping the Gilded Rose. Many forces feel that this is a hidden force of the Gilded Rose. This intimidated many forces that didn't have a good relationship with them.
"Two days ago, the Rodney Family came to look for me, wanting to cooperate with the Gilded Rose. Moreover, from the conditions they proposed, it seems that they really want to cooperate.
"Who is helping the Gilded Rose? Sir Merlin, can you tell me a bit?"
Lin Yun nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Crown of Thorns. Their Great Elder, Max, wants to lead the Crown of Thorns to seek refuge with me, but I don't want to accept the Crown of Thorns.
"These guys researching bloodline transplants are a bunch of lunatics. There are many guys in the Crown of Thorns who are willing to do anything for power. Moreover, the things they do for the sake of research are no different from Necromancers. Sooner or later, they will cause big trouble.
"The most important part is that transplanting a variant lifeform's bloodline is a mistake in itself. Under normal circumstances, the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm is their limit. They don't have much potential and there are many side effects, many of which can directly affect their character …"
Faleau opened his mouth, a strange expression on his face.
'5th Rank of the Heaven realm? 'No potential? 'Sir Merlin's vision is getting higher and higher. How many mages walk their entire lives in order to become an Extraordinary lifeform? 5th Rank Heaven powerhouses actually have no potential in Sir Merlin's eyes …
'I'm only a 9th Rank Archmage now, does Sir Merlin think that I don't have any potential?
'There are only a few Heaven Rank powerhouses in the entire Gilded Rose. No, why does Sir Merlin's words sound so strange? I don't understand, I don't understand at all …'
The events of the past few months had already confused Faleau, and he felt even more confused now. But when he heard about the Crown of Thorns, Faleau seemed to recall something.
"Ah, right, Sir Merlin, you are talking about the Crown of Thorns, I feel like I have heard that name somewhere. I finally remember now, it seems to be the mage who contacted us and asked if we wanted to open a branch in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. He seemed to have mentioned it.
"The news recently broke out in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom, it seems to be quite big. That Crown of Thorns is cleaning up traitors everywhere. It is said that some guys similar to Necromancers have appeared in their organization …"
Faleau didn't have time to finish his words before Lin Yun understood. Necromancers could be said to be the only human mages that Noscent didn't welcome. The Undead summoned by Necromancers came from the Undead Plane. Even the heavily nurtured Undead Contract Undead also came from the Undead Plane. When a large number of Undead appeared, they all came from the Undead Plane.
As for Necromancers, although they also used death power, most of their Undead lifeforms didn't come from the Undead Plane. Instead, they dug up the bones of powerhouses and transformed their corpses into Undead lifeforms. That way, the Undead obtained would be relatively powerful Undead.
If a High Mage was lucky enough to find the corpse of a 9th Rank Archmage and transform it into an Undead lifeform, they might be able to obtain a level 43 or 44 Skeleton Mage, or even a Lich.
As long as a Heaven Rank Necromancer had enough Heaven Rank powerhouses' corpses, they would be able to continuously transform into a group of Heaven Rank Undead. They simply didn't need to painstakingly summon and contract an Undead with potential to slowly nurture.
Thus, Necromancers were hated existences in Noscent. Only the madmen of the Crown of Thorns who could even sell their own souls for power could be compared to Necromancers.
'Max is cleaning up the madmen? He could actually make such a decision, and he even made the other four Elders of the Crown of Thorns approve of his decision? '
Lin Yun was a bit surprised this time. The news actually spread in the southern part of the Odin Kingdom. This could only mean one thing: the clean-up had been very intense and the Crown of Thorns' losses might have been disastrous.
This was no longer healing the injury, this was directly cutting off the problematic hand. Lin Yun was truly shocked that Max could be so determined. But this matter unintentionally showed that history had already changed.
The path that the Crown of Thorns was bound to take had now reached a fork in the road, and it was likely that they would no longer take that path of self-destruction.
After all, the Crown of Thorns had already stepped on the path of self-destruction, they had to pay a huge price to turn around.
As Lin Yun was thinking about this, Max quietly arrived at the Gilded Rose. After not seeing him for a few months, Max looked very tired. His single eye, which originally looked no different from a real eye, now looked like a crystal sculpture. This was the sign of the bloodline transplanted becoming unstable.
"Sir Merlin, I know what you are worried about. I also discovered that some people in the Crown of Thorns had already forgotten their original oath. After returning and investigating, I found out that the situation was a lot more serious than I had imagined.
The Crown of Thorns was already walking on the wrong path, so I could only convince the other elders to agree with my decision. The Second Elder had already fallen, and all the evil existences that had appeared in the Crown of Thorns over the years had already been eliminated.
"We have already made preparations to follow Sir Merlin, I hope that Sir Merlin can reconsider …"
Although Max tried his best to hide it, he still leaked a strange aura from time to time. This showed that his control over his own body and power was very poor. His bloodline had already reached a very unstable state, and it had definitely erupted once in the past three days.
After saying this, Max prepared to leave. After staying there for a few minutes, the faint aura leaking from his body became more and more frequent.
"Don't worry, Sir Max. Even if you completely unleash your aura here, it won't be able to spread out. Your bloodline is already extremely unstable. Forcefully suppressing it will only make your bloodline even more unstable."
Max opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He also didn't release his aura, he was still doing his best to suppress it.
Lin Yun shook his head and took out a potion that looked like blood. The color of the potion kept changing, from viscous blood to translucent liquid. There was a faint golden radiance fusing with the potion, and it could only be seen when the potion's color faded.
"This is for you. Don't die. If you die, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to do anything."
Max's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He didn't care what kind of potion it was. After receiving it, he immediately gulped it down. In an instant, a crystal appeared on the surface of Max's body. In a few seconds, his body was sealed in a crystal.
The color of the crystal's surface kept changing. Then, the crystal slowly melted like ice, and all the crystal was absorbed into Max's body.
After a few minutes, Max's body was revealed again. The aura emitted from his body became stable, and his crystal-like eyes became round. They looked no different from a real person's eyes, only the color of his pupils changed. In the empty right eye socket, the crystal also started to condense, forming a watery eyeball. The eyeball looked like it had been sculpted by a master sculptor, and in a few seconds, it became round and smooth. There was a trace of blood on the surface of the eyeball, and it looked like it was real. It was impossible to tell that it was fake.
Max stared at his hands in a daze. It was as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.
This … This is my hand. My body seems to have completely changed, and the transplanted bloodline seems to have changed as well. The transplanted crystal monster's bloodline seems to have fused with my bloodline a little.
'What the hell? How can the crystal monster's bloodline truly fuse with my bloodline? How is this possible? Just a bottle of potion and 5% of the crystal monster's bloodline has already completely fused with my bloodline.'
From now on, my bloodline backlash will be weakened by at least a dozen times. I can fight with all my strength for at least an hour, and this is all because of a potion!
I knew it, I knew that Sir Merlin's research on transplanting bloodlines has far surpassed mine, far surpassed the Crown of Thorns. I didn't think that I would still underestimate him.
