At this time, three carriages stopped at the entrance of the Gilded Rose.
Three people then got off the carriages. One was the Black Horn Auction House's Cadgar, one was the Viper Nest's Sauss, and the last one was somewhat out of Lin Yun's expectations. It was actually Monchi of the Monchi Family.
Among these three, Cadgar had the best relationship with Lin Yun, and the Gilded Rose and the Black Horn Auction House had already formed a very solid partnership. Thus, after Cadgar got off the carriage, he didn't treat Lin Yun as an outsider and greeted him while walking into the Gilded Rose's lobby.
There was also Sauss …
Although this leader of the biggest underground force of Thousand Sails City had a very unpleasant relationship with Lin Yun at first, after Lin Yun entered the Poison Fog Canyon twice and blew away two sentry towers, as well as killing a Great Mage, Sauss immediately became well-behaved. And after becoming well-behaved, Sauss was pleasantly surprised to find that the Viper Nest's days had become much better.
The most obvious point was that the Gilded Rose's excellent alchemy items directly increased the Viper Nest's fighting strength by a large margin. This was like timely help for the expansion of the depths of the Poison Fog Canyon. Coupled with the upcoming cooperation and all kinds of beautiful prospects, Sauss directly became a fence-sitter. He didn't even think about it before drawing a clear line between himself and the Monchi Family and directly leaning towards the Gilded Rose's side.
Thus, at this time, Monchi's expression was very unsightly as he got off the carriage.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Although Sauss could be said to have been raised by Monchi in the past, in recent years, Sauss had completely broken away from Monchi's influence. The Viper Nest's operations in the Poison Fog Canyon were airtight, and they were already faintly showing signs of becoming an independent kingdom. Even if Monchi was dissatisfied, he could only hide it in his heart. He would only scold Sauss for being an ingrate in front of his two sons.
In any case, Monchi had been trying his best to avoid appearing with Sauss, or else he would be laughed at behind his back.
But there was no other way today …
Because Lys already said very clearly that the Gilded Rose's Mafa Merlin would be in charge of cracking all the arrays in Vaughn's treasury, and in exchange, he would have priority in choosing all the magic materials. If you have any requirements for magic materials, then you only have two choices. One is to replace Mafa Merlin in cracking those arrays, and the second is to discuss it with Mafa Merlin.
That was an array left behind by the last Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty. Although the three of them had many outstanding alchemists under them, and Cadgar and Monchi even had Great Alchemists as their subordinates, cracking an array left behind by an Artisan was something the three of them had never even thought about.
Therefore, in reality, they only had one choice, and that was to discuss with a certain someone …
Cadgar and Sauss were fine, in any case, they would usually discuss it, but it was a bit hard for Monchi.
Not to mention Locke Merlin's shipwreck, just the relationship between the Twin Moons Splendor and the Gilded Rose was enough to make Monchi feel awkward. They were mortal enemies. He had used countless methods in order to defeat the Gilded Rose, but he didn't even get a single advantage. Instead, he allowed the Gilded Rose to grow stronger day by day, and now, the Twin Moons Splendor was half dead. Monchi felt vexed when he thought about it.
But this time, when the Black Tower heard that the Monchi Family would participate in the exploration of the Vaughn's treasury, they immediately sent someone to deliver a list to Monchi and wanted him to obtain the three magic materials on it at all costs. They also promised that as long as Monchi could meet the requirements of the Black Tower, he would receive the full support of the Black Tower.
Full support … This was too enticing for Monchi.
For this, Monchi didn't even hesitate to throw away his old face and personally come to the Gilded Rose to look for Lin Yun.
Standing outside the Gilded Rose, Monchi felt an indescribable discomfort. Next to him was Lock, who had betrayed him, and inside was Mafa Merlin, who had been opposing him time and time again. Monchi felt like he was a piece of barbecued meat. No matter what he did, he would be miserably roasted by the raging flames.
"Sigh …" Monchi couldn't help sighing as he entered. 'If that side had been a bit more clean and gotten rid of that Mafa Merlin, I wouldn't have had such a headache. Or maybe I would have paid more attention later on …'
Unfortunately, it was too late now.
The Gilded Rose had already thoroughly expanded. Not only did it have a huge financial power, but it also had a good relationship with the major forces of Thousand Sails City. If he did anything, he might be besieged by the major forces of Thousand Sails City. Thinking of this, Monchi couldn't help looking at Sauss with disgust. Seeing that scoundrel's fawning smile, he knew that he had definitely obtained a lot of benefits from the Gilded Rose.
Moreover, Mafa Merlin was already a 5th Rank Great Mage, it wouldn't be as easy for him to do anything.
Monchi took a deep breath and kept urging himself, 'I have to endure, I have to endure. I have to endure for a while in exchange for those three magic materials. Only then will I be able to obtain the full support of the Black Tower. This is too crucial for the Monchi Family, especially in the year that Solan left. The full support of the Black Tower is everything to the Monchi Family.
What I have to do is endure for a year. After a year, when Solan returns as an Archmage, everything will be completely different. At that time, the Monchi Family will truly have the power to sweep through Thousand Sails City. Let alone the small Gilded Rose, even the Sage Tower and the Silver Moon Mercenaries would have no choice but to act according to my wishes. At that time, I will be able to get back everything I lost today. '
As he thought of this, Monchi fiercely clenched his teeth and squeezed out an unsightly smile. "Great Mage Merlin …"
Lin Yun was a bit surprised when he saw this. 'Did these people make an appointment? Why did they all choose this time to come … '
First it was Joy and Solomon, then it was Hoen and Merlin, and now the leaders of the three major forces of Thousand Sails City. When Lin Yun greeted them, he couldn't help looking outside, thinking, 'If you have the guts, give me a few more, I'll see how many mahjong tables you can make …'
"Erm, you three, how about you take a seat in the reception room first? I still have some matters to take care of … "After looking outside, Lin Yun made sure that no one else was coming, and with a smile, he invited the three of them into the reception room.
"Merlin, you …" At this time, Cadgar also noticed that something was wrong. Besides the three that had just arrived and Lin Yun, there seemed to be another person in the reception room.
It would have been fine if he hadn't discovered him, but now that he did, Cadgar was startled. That was a peak High Mage, either 8th or 9th Rank. In all of Thousand Sails City, there were only two or three people who could compare to him.
Moreover, this peak High Mage's expression didn't seem very good. Although he was just standing there, the unique mana fluctuations of a peak High Mage had already been completely released.
'He's going to make a move!'
Cadgar was startled and subconsciously took a step back while asking in a low voice, "Merlin, who is this?"
"Eh, this is High Mage Hoen, the Head of the Cloud Tower's Magic Department."
"Eh …" Cadgar nodded and enthusiastically welcomed him. "High Mage Hoen, it's an honor to meet you at last. I am Cadgar of the Black Horn chamber of commerce, I …"
"Alright, you don't need to say anything." Hoen didn't even look at him as he coldly interrupted Cadgar's introduction. "It doesn't matter who you are. I came today to look for Mafa Merlin."
Cadgar and Sauss were startled when they heard this.
It looked like Merlin had truly provoked a huge problem this time. A 9th Rank High Mage looking for him wasn't a joke. Moreover, Cadgar had just mentioned the Black Horn chamber of commerce, yet this 9th Rank High Mage didn't even look at him. From this, it could be seen that he had a powerful background and didn't need to give the Black Horn chamber of commerce any face.
This wouldn't be easy to deal with …
"Mafa Merlin, I'll ask you again, were you the one who left the Mana Shackles on Leon Merlin's body?"
"Yes, it was me."
Lin Yun's words silenced the entire hall. Cadgar and Sauss simultaneously looked at Lin Yun. Mana … Mana Shackles, it was actually Mana Shackles!
The two looked at the young man next to Hoen and their hearts sank. They didn't need to ask to know that this young man without mana fluctuations was definitely the Leon Merlin that Hoen had mentioned. As for the relationship between the two, it was clear that they were either relatives or master and disciple. In any case, it definitely wasn't simple.
In other words, this Great Mage Merlin actually used Mana Shackles on a 9th Rank High Mage's junior!
This enmity was just too great …
Mana Shackles were used to confine mana. As long as they were successful, they could turn a High Mage into an ordinary person. Even when a high-level mage crushed a low-level mage, they would only use it when there was a deep hatred between them, because to a mage, losing mana was no different from dying.
As they thought of this, the two couldn't help inwardly grumbling. 'Great Mage Merlin, this isn't a joke …'
At this time, Monchi's eyes shone. 'Haha, it's actually Mana Shackles? Mafa Merlin, you are courting death … '
Monchi immediately stood up. "Greetings, High Mage Hoen, greetings, I have heard a lot about you. My younger brother, Solan Monchi, often mentions you …"
