Yes, Lin Yun wasn't mistaken, it really was a carriage!
Joy wasn't polite with Lin Yun and directly called for a carriage in Thousand Sails City. He even let Lin Yun pay the fare and staggered all the way to the "very far" Oddrock City.
In the evening, the carriage stopped in a small town near the Lullaby Forest.
Lin Yun got off the carriage, planning to look for an inn before doing anything else.
Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun was the youngest of the three, and he was ill, while Joy was the master of the Cloud Tower. In any case, this kind of thing could only be done by Lin Yun.
But just as Lin Yun got off the carriage, he discovered that Joy also got off.
"Okay, you can go back." Then, he saw Joy take out a small bag of gold and throw it to the driver.
"Thank you, thank you …" The driver stretched out his hand to catch the gold, a pleasantly surprised smile on his face. There were at least a hundred gold coins in that small bag. Let alone the fare from Thousand Sails City, it was more than enough to buy ten such carriages.
"Sir Jouyi, you are …" Lin Yun was even more puzzled as he watched the coachman drive the carriage away. 'What is Jouyi trying to do?'
From the start, he used the primitive method of using a carriage, but after reaching this small town, he used a small bag of gold to send the carriage back. Wasn't this superfluous? 'Could it be that I have to call another carriage tomorrow? Or should I just use Flight?'
Thinking of this, Lin Yun couldn't help looking at Joy with a strange expression.
If it wasn't for Joy's age, Lin Yun would have really wanted to ask, 'Sir Joy, don't you feel any pain in your balls from all that tossing and turning?'
"I'm going to see someone, come with me."
"Eh?"
"Eh what, I won't let you go for nothing …" Joy unhappily glared at Lin Yun. Although he didn't know what that boy meant by that glance, Joy could guess that it definitely wasn't anything good.
"Where are we going?" Hearing that he wouldn't be going for nothing, Lin Yun's tone changed. But after saying that, he didn't forget to ask, "Oh right, can I borrow the Black Death Rune for another three months?"
"…" Joy didn't say another word. He only led the two out of the small town with a dark expression.
Soon, the three of them entered the Lullaby Forest.
The Lullaby Forest was located between Thousand Sails City and Oddrock City. Although it wasn't like Edge Rift, which was occupied by the powerful Rock Trolls, there were still many magic beasts roaming the forest. Most of them were level 10 or 20, and if they were lucky, they might even encounter a level 30 magic beast. Although there were many mercenary groups in Thousand Sails City and Oddrock City, those that dared to enter the Lullaby Forest to hunt were at least the top five mercenary groups of their respective cities.
Naturally, this was only for ordinary mercenary groups.
As for the three who came tonight, it was a different matter.
Of the three that came tonight, one was a 9th Rank Archmage, one was a 9th Rank High Mage, and the weakest was a 5th Rank Great Mage. Moreover, that 5th Rank Great Mage had just proven in Thousand Sails City that he had the ability to perish together with a 9th Rank High Mage.
Such a team might be hard to find in the entire Kingdom of Andalusia. If they formed a mercenary group, even the Silver Moon Mercenaries would be crushed.
Naturally, they definitely wouldn't be that bored …
After the three entered the Lullaby Forest, with Joy leading the way and Lin Yun at the back, they were like a bulldozer as they rushed into the Lullaby Forest. On the way, the only thing Lin Yun did was maintain the illumination of the Light spell. The rest was left to Joy.
At this time, apart from a Runic Shield flickering, this peak Archmage didn't have the slightest trace of a spell being used. But after Jouyi entered the Lullaby Forest, not a single magic beast was able to get within thirty meters of him.
Several times, Lin Yun saw a few magic beasts hiding in the thickets, but before they could even show their heads, they directly turned to ashes when they got within thirty meters of Joy.
Even Lin Yun couldn't help feeling apprehensive when he saw this kind of terrifying power. Lin Yun thought a few times, 'If I were the one facing those magic beasts, how long would I be able to last in front of this peak Archmage? Ten seconds? Five seconds? '
Joy used such a terrifying method to leisurely stroll through the Lullaby Forest.
As for Solomon, there was no need to even mention him.
For better or worse, Lin Yun had to maintain the illumination of the Light spell. Besides coughing and walking, Solomon didn't even move a finger.
After about an hour, Joy stopped near a thicket.
"We're here."
"What is this place?" Lin Yun followed Joy's gaze and could clearly see a wooden house a few hundred meters in front of him. The wooden house looked somewhat old, and it had clearly been repaired many times. It was full of traces of wind and rain, and the wooden door was unlatched, making creaking sounds in the night wind of the Lullaby Forest.
'No way, people can actually live in this kind of place?'
The first thought that appeared in Lin Yun's mind was that the owner of this wooden house was very courageous. Although this Lullaby Forest wasn't a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, there would still be some level 30 magic beasts roaming about from time to time. Living in this kind of place required a lot of courage.
'Hold on …'
As Lin Yun was inwardly admiring the owner, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be strange mana fluctuations in the surroundings of this unusually old wooden house.
Indeed, these mana fluctuations were too strange. They didn't feel powerful at first glance, but they felt pervasive. Lin Yun had only been standing a few hundred meters away when he felt those mana fluctuations silently coiling around him and slowly invading his Magic Array.
Fortunately, Lin Yun had the Magic Array.
After a slight rotation, that strange mana fluctuation disappeared, but that pervasive and frightening feeling lingered in Lin Yun's mind. Lin Yun felt that he had heard that strange mana fluctuation somewhere before.
"Remember to look more and talk less after going in." Joy didn't answer Lin Yun's question. He only warned him in a low voice before leading the two towards the wooden house.
When Joy reached the wooden house, he reached out and pushed the door open. Then, Lin Yun smelled a pungent smell.
"Flame Flower?" Lin Yun was startled. This smell was definitely coming from a Flame Flower.
That was one of the first-rate magic materials, and it was extremely rare. Many alchemists firmly believed that the Flame Flower was already extinct in Noscent and that traces of the Flame Flower could only be found in planes rich in fire elements.
In fact, Lin Yun was skeptical about this point of view.
Because ever since Lin Yun came to this era, he had never seen a Flame Flower anywhere. Lin Yun hadn't even seen a potion compounded from a Flame Flower.
But he hadn't expected to smell a Flame Flower in a wooden house in the Lullaby Forest.
"Fuck, Joy, why did you come again? Didn't I tell you many times to stop bothering me? Don't bother me, or don't blame me for being rude …" Just as Joy pushed open the wooden door, an impatient and impolite voice echoed from inside.
"…" Lin Yun held his breath. Joy was a peak Archmage, only one step away from the Heaven Rank, yet the owner of that voice dared to use that tone to talk to Joy. What kind of courage was that?
Then, Lin Yun discovered …
Not only did that person dare to say that, but he also dared to do it.
At the same time, a beaker was thrown out. With a "Pa" sound, it shattered under Joey's feet.
"Haha, I say, Osul, you don't need to be so violent when an old friend is visiting …" Lin Yun hadn't expected that the peak High Mage Joy wouldn't get angry after being treated so crudely. No, this couldn't be described as not getting angry … Joy could only be described as shameless.
Seeing Joy's fawning smile, Lin Yun even suspected that if he had a tail, he would unhesitantly wag it.
'Damnit, is this the integrity of a peak Archmage?'
Lin Yun felt that his entire outlook on life had been overturned.
'But why does the name Osul sound so familiar?'
Just as Lin Yun was feeling doubtful, a white-haired old man came out of the room. The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties and was wearing a gray robe that had been washed so many times that it had turned white. From the stains on it, it looked like it hadn't been washed for a few months.
Although the mana fluctuations emitted by his body were a bit stronger than Solomon's, they were far from Joy's Extraordinary Power. Lin Yun estimated that this should be an Archmage. He might be a 1st Rank or 2nd Rank Archmage, but he definitely wasn't a peak Archmage like Joy.
"Fuck …" After the old man came out of the room, he saw Lin Yun and Solomon and his wrinkled face sank. "Joy, you b * stard, not only did you disturb my experiment again, you even brought two people. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
