"No way …" Hogg was on the verge of tears. 'This Mafa Merlin, does he need to be so angry? We only quarreled for a bit, it's normal to have arguments when it comes to magic research. If you're unhappy, you can just scold me back. You can also chuckle at me, but why don't you just ignore me? That's too excessive!'
'Damn, this is troublesome …'
As Hogg thought of Sir Joy's anger, he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. That was the person who provided the four key pieces of data. He was even more important to the research of the Fanrusen Formula than Sir Joy himself.
If he offended such a great master because of his own fault ….
Hogg didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Something big would definitely happen!
Cold sweat trickled down Hogg's back. He didn't care about losing face and directly used the research room's crystal ball to send a request to Thousand Sails City's Cloud Tower. At this time, he could only think of a way to deal with Solomon.
As a result, the request went through, but when Solomon heard Hogg's intention, he immediately flew into a rage. "I say, Hogg, is there something wrong with your head? I spent so much effort and so much saliva to get Merlin to agree to participate in the research of the Fanrusen Formula, and now you're telling me that you drove him away because of a small change? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to look down on Merlin? I'm telling you, Hogg, Merlin's knowledge of magic can't be compared to ten of you! "
"I … I didn't do it on purpose!" Hogg's face turned green from the scolding, but he couldn't say anything.
Although the two of them were 9th Rank High Mages of the Cloud Tower and had similar status, in fact, when Saruman became a disciple of Star Sage Jouyi, Hogg was only a Magic Apprentice. The difference in qualifications between the two was too great. If Saruman got angry, Hogg wouldn't even dare to say a word.
"Look at what you've done, you still have the face to make me clean up your mess? Why don't you go look for my teacher and see if he can kick you off the Cloud Tower …"
"Misunderstanding, High Mage Solomon, this is really a misunderstanding …"
"What misunderstanding? Don't you think that a Great Mage like Merlin isn't worthy of participating in the research of the Fanrusen Formula with a 9th Rank High Mage like you? You still have the nerve to say that it was a misunderstanding? If it was really a misunderstanding, would you have thrown a bunch of magic apprentice jobs to Merlin? Okay, Hogg, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. Do you want me to help you persuade him to come back? I'm telling you, I can't afford to lose that face! "
After that, Saruman directly turned off the image transmission in the crystal ball.
"This …" Hogg stared at that dark crystal ball and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 'What should I do now? Even Solomon isn't willing to help. Do I have to stare blankly as that Mafa Merlin withdraws from the Fanrusen Formula's research?
Stop joking …
If that was the case, Sir Joy might really do as Solomon said and kick him off the Cloud Tower.
Hogg had been in the Cloud Tower for a long time, so how could he not know how much effort Joy had poured into the Fanrusen Formula over the past few decades? It could be said that Sir Joy had spent all of his time and experience on the Fanrusen Formula. He didn't even hesitate to give up on magic cultivation. Otherwise, Sir Joy might not have just been an Archmage.
If all of this was destroyed by him …
Hogg felt that he should take the initiative to jump from the top of the Cloud Tower. That would be a bit better.
'No good, I have to think of a way!'
'I absolutely can't let that Mafa Merlin withdraw from the Fanrusen Formula research, or else I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.'
'That's right, I have to go to Thousand Sails City now!'
When Hogg thought of the grave consequences, he didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly packed his belongings and even prepared two precious magic items. He planned to use them to ask for the young Great Mage's forgiveness after arriving at Thousand Sails City.
But, just as Hogg pushed open the door of the research room and was about to leave for Thousand Sails City, he received a transmission request.
"Fuck …" Hogg immediately flew into a rage. 'Is there no end to this?
'F * ck, this daddy was first scolded by Sir Jouyi, then scolded by Saruman, and now this daddy is being forced to go to Thousand Sails City to beg for forgiveness. Why won't this daddy be let off?
I'm a piece of mud that you can knead as you wish! '
"I don't care who you are, in short, hurry up and say it, I'm going to Thousand Sails City!"
"Why are you going to Thousand Sails City?" On the other side of the crystal ball, Lin Yun froze. 'Isn't this High Mage Hogg too vengeful? A small dispute over the research actually escalated to the point of coming to take revenge? 'It can't be …'
"I'm going to Thousand Sails City …" Hogg didn't even have time to finish his sentence before his eyes widened. "Eh? Mafa Merlin … No no no, Great Mage Merlin, you aren't … Aren't you …"
"Oh, I just left for a while." Lin Yun looked at Hogg with some doubt, thinking that this High Mage Hogg wouldn't think that he would leave the Fanrusen Formula's research team in a fit of pique after arguing with him for a bit, right?
As he thought of this possibility, Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
'Isn't this High Mage Hogg a bit too childish?'
It was normal for there to be some arguments in magic research. How could he lose his temper and leave because of a small argument? He wasn't a three-year-old child, he wouldn't play this kind of game if he didn't agree.
The reason he left the alchemy laboratory was to give this 9th Rank High Mage some time. After all, the data had been changed, and the formula had been replaced. This was already a huge change to the calculation of the spell matrix. Lin Yun felt that this 9th Rank High Mage would most likely need some time to digest it.
Moreover, after he closed the transmission, William Merlin came over and told Lin Yun that the six mining puppets on the side of the workshop had already completed the framework. He wanted to ask Lin Yun about it, but he didn't have any special requests.
Thus, Lin Yun recalled that the six mining puppets he had ordered really did need some fighting ability. Otherwise, with the countless Skeleton Warriors in the black wasteland, he couldn't always rely on the protection of the Black Tower's puppet, could he?
Then, Lin Yun went to the alchemy workshop and took out a new blueprint to have the alchemy workshop make it according to that blueprint.
But it turned out like this when he came back …
"Oh right, High Mage Hogg, I left just now. I didn't delay your work, did I?"
If it had been before, Hogg would have already gotten angry if he left without notifying him. But after what had happened, how could Hogg dare to be long-winded? He immediately waved his hands and denied, "No, no, Great Mage Merlin, if you have something to take care of, you can leave at any time. Your work definitely wouldn't be delayed …"
"Oh …" Lin Yun nodded in relief.
"That …" After seeing Lin Yun's attitude, Hogg secretly sighed in relief. But after thinking about it, he was still a bit worried. After some hesitation, he said, "Well, Great Mage Merlin, my attitude just now … My attitude was really problematic. I'll first apologize to you, I hope you won't take it to heart."
"It's magic research, it's normal to have some arguments." Lin Yun smiled. Although he was a bit puzzled as to why this High Mage Hogg had such a huge change in attitude, regardless of the reason, it was a good thing for Lin Yun. After all, no one wanted to cooperate with a companion who kept a straight face all day.
"Oh right, High Mage Hogg, apart from that, do you have any other work you need help with?"
"This …" Hogg hesitated when he heard this.
At first, Hogg felt that their relationship had just been mended, so it didn't seem appropriate to immediately give him too much work. But after thinking about it, this Merlin wasn't the same as him. What he considered too much work might be a trivial matter in the eyes of the other side?
Thus, Hogg nodded after a bit of hesitation.
"Yes, Great Mage Merlin, I have a total of eighteen spell matrices that need to be calculated. How about I send you two?"
"Okay."
Soon, Hogg sent two spell matrices over.
Lin Yun only glanced at them before quickly calculating on the piece of paper. Calculating the Fanrusen Formula's spell matrices wasn't difficult for Lin Yun. In less than ten minutes, Lin Yun sent the final result back.
"Ah? So fast … "Hogg was a bit absent-minded. 'Isn't this a bit too fast?'
After all, Hogg would need at least ten days to calculate these two spell matrices. How could someone finish them in less than ten minutes?
With such suspicions, Hogg did a quick check. In the end, it would have been better if he hadn't checked. Once he did, he almost had a heart attack …
Because Hogg could clearly see that not only had the two spell matrices been calculated, but a completely new one had also been established, explaining why the two spell matrices had made mistakes. This was no longer Hogg's responsibility. To be more precise, this Great Mage Merlin had already completed Sir Joy's work in less than ten minutes!
'Is this really a human?' Hogg sluggishly looked at the crystal ball. After no less than ten minutes, Hogg recovered from his shock.
Then, this 9th Rank High Mage sent two spell matrices over with a last shred of hope.
