Although the Watson Family came into contact with the Gilded Rose quite late, it could be said that they did their best to gather information. The Watson Family even knew that Mafa Merlin might be a child of the Merlin Family that had wandered outside, but there had never been any information that showed that this Mafa Merlin was related to High Mage Hogg.
This was simply out of the blue …
At this time, Allen Watson really wanted to ask that Chief Intelligence Officer, 'What the hell are you doing? How could you not notice such a big situation?
That's a 9th Rank High Mage, such a thick iron plate was placed there, yet I foolishly kicked it … '
Allen Watson's face turned paler and paler. He understood that if it was really as he thought, let alone taking the Nether Iron Vein, even leaving safely would be difficult. At this time, Allen Watson could only hope for a fluke and cautiously asked, "I wonder, High Mage Hogg, what is the relationship between you and Great Mage Merlin?"
"What relationship?" Hogg reacted when he heard this. His eyes stared at Allen Watson, sizing him up.
Hogg had already heard the quarrel in the reception room when he was standing outside and felt the fierce mana fluctuations. Now that he was asked by Allen Watson, even if Hogg was slow, he understood.
This time, Hogg's expression suddenly became a little ugly.
'This Allen Watson is really courageous, he actually dared to quarrel with Great Mage Merlin and even emitted fierce mana fluctuations. Does this mean that he wants to make a move on Great Mage Merlin?'
Hogg looked at Allen Watson and really wanted to ask, 'Do you know who is standing in front of you?' 'This is someone who solved a dozen core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula in one day and night. The entire Cloud Tower is cheering for him, the three Archmages are praising him, and Star Sage Joy even personally bowed to him to express his thanks.'
Hogg thought, 'Allen Watson, are you afraid that you won't die fast enough?
Do you know what kind of people are standing behind this young Great Mage?
That was a total of three Archmages, including the master of the Cloud Tower, the strongest Archmage of the kingdom, Star Sage Joy!
Of course, Hogg wouldn't say this out loud, because this was Hogg's greatest secret …
After a miraculous day and night, after everyone left, Hogg saw the three Archmages fighting over the young Great Mage with his own eyes. They were on the verge of fighting over the young Great Mage.
As the only eyewitness, Hogg was still very scared up to this point …
He really knew too much …
Hogg still remembered that the three Archmages had completely fallen out in that research room, rolling up their sleeves and cursing. No one would think that they were Archmages standing at the peak of the kingdom. To put it bluntly, these three Archmages weren't much better than aunties selling vegetables on the street.
If this news were to spread, who would believe it? Who would dare to believe it?
But Hogg knew that it was all true.
Although the three Archmages all tacitly kept their mouths shut in the end, and none of them showed any intention of recruiting that young Great Mage, Hogg knew that a fight had indeed taken place in his research room.
The three Archmages chose to keep their mouths shut, not because they had given up, but because they were waiting.
The three Archmages represented the three most powerful forces of Okland, the Cloud Tower, the Mercury Tower, and the Okland Magic School. The fight between the three of them was equivalent to a fight between three major forces. This kind of fight was enough to influence the situation of the entire kingdom, and the consequences were so serious that even the three Archmages might not be able to bear it.
Thus, they all tacitly chose to wait.
Wait for a suitable opportunity, wait for the young Great Mage to make his choice.
Hogg had witnessed everything with his own eyes, and he had even been asked to be a witness, so he knew better than anyone how important this young Great Mage was in the hearts of the three Archmages.
It could be said that as long as that young Great Mage said a word, the three Archmages would be able to eliminate a powerful force like the Watson Family for him.
Thus, when Hogg saw that Allen Watson wanted to make a move against the other side, the first thought that popped up in his mind was, 'Allen Watson, do you think that the Watson Family's history is too long?
This isn't just courting death, this is purely inviting a disaster to the Watson Family! '
Naturally, Hogg wouldn't tell Allen Watson about this.
Let alone Allen Watson, Hogg wouldn't even say half a word to that young Great Mage himself.
Because those were the orders of the three Archmages themselves. Even if Hogg was a hundred times more courageous, he wouldn't dare to disobey the orders of the three Archmages.
But Hogg felt that this was a rare opportunity for him.
"I am acquainted with Merlin." Hogg didn't dare to speak too confidently. That was a person valued by the three Archmages. No matter how courageous Hogg was, he wouldn't dare to carelessly try to befriend him.
But when these words reached Allen Watson's ears, the High Mage's mind was roused, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
'Fortunately, fortunately …'
At first, he felt that High Mage Hogg had addressed him so intimately that the two of them had to have a very close relationship. He had been apprehensive for a while, but it now looked like the relationship between the two wasn't as close as he had imagined. Otherwise, why would Hogg say that they were acquainted?
Acquainted …
In other words, they might not be acquainted!
'Right, I remember, Hogg's relationship with the Merlin Family is pretty good. He came to Thousand Sails City this time because he was entrusted by the Merlin Family to bring a Magic Tool for this child of the Merlin Family who was stranded outside.
'I reckon that Hogg himself might not have been willing to come, but he couldn't refuse the favor of the Merlin Family.
'I understand, I understand, we might not even know each other, so why would I worry so much!'
"Turns out it's like this …" Allen Watson thought that he understood and gave Hogg a tacit look, meaning, 'High Mage Hogg, I understand your difficulties, this kind of unavoidable favor is too vexing …'
"Allen Watson, what happened just now?" Hogg inwardly frowned. He didn't understand why Allen Watson was looking at him with a tacit look. 'I'm an esteemed 9th Rank High Mage, what's there to be tacit about with a 1st Rank High Mage?'
Unfortunately, Allen Watson didn't know anything …
When he heard Hogg's question, he thought that he was just going through the motions …
He didn't hide anything and explained the matter, but he embellished it a bit to make it seem like a fair transaction.
In the end, he even added a sentence whimsically.
"It just so happens that High Mage Hogg is also here. How about you help persuade this Great Mage Merlin? You should know that the Watson Family never treats its friends unfairly."
"…" But he hadn't expected that Hogg would turn pale when he heard this.
'Damnit, Allen Watson, do I have such a deep hatred for you that you want to frame me?
Isn't it enough that you are courting death? You want to drag me down with you?
How about I help you persuade him? I'm sick … '
'Do you know who is standing in front of you? He is someone who calculated a dozen core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula in one day and one night. As long as he nodded, three Archmages would rush to Thousand Sails City to help him. Let alone Allen Watson, even your entire Watson Family would be annihilated at any time.
'You still don't know what's good for you, you still want the Nether Iron Vein …
'Never treats his friends unfairly …'
'You, Allen Watson, are you worthy of being friends with Great Mage Merlin? Are you still dreaming?'
'No good, I can't be dragged down by this idiot.'
"Allen Watson, I'll give you a word of advice. Immediately leave Thousand Sails City and don't provoke a disaster for the Watson Family." Hogg's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Ah … Hohoho … High Mage Hogg, you … This is …" Allen Watson suddenly froze. He looked at Hogg's sudden change in attitude and didn't recover for a long time. 'What's going on? How did I offend this High Mage Hogg? How could he change his attitude so quickly? ' At this time, Allen Watson was at a loss. He couldn't understand what he had said wrong.
"I'll only say this once, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not." Hogg didn't give Allen any leeway.
"But …"
"No buts, Allen Watson. If you want to be enemies with Merlin, that means you want to be enemies with me, Hogg. You should think about it carefully."
"I understand …" Allen Watson looked at Hogg's cold expression before looking at the motionless Lin Yun. In the end, he clenched his teeth and decided to endure for the time being.
After all, Hogg was a genuine 9th Rank High Mage, only one step away from the title of 'Sir'. A 1st Rank High Mage like him was no different from an ant in front of him. The other side could crush him with one finger. Even if he was dissatisfied and resentful, he could only endure it in silence.
Let alone himself, in the entire Watson Family, besides a few Elders, only the Patriarch, who was also a 9th Rank High Mage, could negotiate with Hogg.
As for the others, they didn't even have the qualifications to negotiate with Hogg.
