No one had expected Lin Yun to stand up at this time.
"Merlin …" Joy's expression changed when he heard this. He had been dealing with Osul for a few hundred years, so how could he not know that the old man's temper wasn't good? Now that the Heaven Awakening Potion had failed, he had nowhere to vent his anger. If Merlin stood up at this time, that old man might take out his anger on him.
Sure enough, Joy didn't have time to finish his sentence before Osul's expression sank. He stared at Lin Yun with a deep frown.
"Who are you?"
"Merlin, come quickly, let me introduce you. This is Sir Osul, one of the three Artisans of the kingdom. His achievements in the field of potioneering could be said to have reached great heights." Joy saw that the situation wasn't right and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He flattered Osul while giving Lin Yun a meaningful glance.
Joy was afraid that Lin Yun didn't know how powerful he was, so he deliberately revealed Osul's identity.
After saying that, Jouyi glanced at Lin Yun, a bit of reproach in his eyes. That young Great Mage was a very smart person, so how could he suddenly act like an idiot in this place?
Osul was one of the three Artisans of the kingdom. His achievements in the field of potioneering could be said to be second to none. Osul had already determined that the Heaven Awakening Potion was a failure, so how could you run over and say that it might not necessarily be a failure?
'Aren't you questioning the judgment of an Artisan?
Joy thought about it and felt that this young Great Mage was just being impulsive, because Solomon had said that this young Great Mage was also very talented in the field of potioneering. Maybe he just wanted to use some shocking viewpoints to leave a deep impression on Osul.
With this deep impression, it would be a lot more convenient to ask Osul for guidance in the future.
Unfortunately, he had used the wrong method …
Joy inwardly sighed. There was nothing wrong with youngsters wanting to improve themselves, but being too impulsive and radical was a bit dangerous. 'Forget it, forget it, I'll wait until this matter is over before thinking of a way to introduce Merlin to Osul. In any case, everyone will be going to Oddrock City together. After getting along for a few days, everyone will have a bit of friendship. Osul should be happy to give Merlin pointers in the field of potioneering.'
As for now, he could only rely on himself to smooth things over. No matter what, he had to let Osul vent his anger first.
But just as Joy was hesitating on what to say, Lin Yun said with a smile, "Hello, Sir Osul, I am Mafa Merlin from Thousand Sails City. I have a bit of experience in the field of potioneering. I followed Sir Joy this time in order to ask Sir Osul for some pointers."
"Haha, I can't give you pointers." Osul suddenly sneered.
Osul was around the same age as Joy. They were both old monsters that had lived for several hundred years, and he was also one of the three Artisans of the kingdom. What kind of alchemists hadn't he seen in his lifetime?
Osul didn't know how many alchemists like this would deliberately throw out shocking opinions in order to gain his attention. At first, Osul would patiently give them some pointers, analyze, explain, and tell them that this opinion was wrong.
But as time passed, Osul discovered that his efforts were useless.
To these alchemists, the opinion itself wasn't important. They didn't care about whether these opinions were right or wrong, they only cared about whether they could attract his attention or not.
It was like this many times. Osul was still patiently explaining and analyzing when those alchemists impatiently asked if they could enter Osul's tutelage.
Osul didn't know whether to laugh or cry every time he faced this situation.
If it had been his disciple making such a low-level mistake, he would have already kicked them out. How could they have the opportunity to be so long-winded?
The problem was that these alchemists simply didn't understand this logic.
Once or twice wasn't a big deal, but after a few times, Osul was truly annoyed. When he met these alchemists that were deliberately making shocking opinions, he directly sneered and didn't even feel like saying anything.
In Osul's eyes, this Mafa Merlin was undoubtedly such an alchemist.
Thus, after Osul sneered, his expression sank. He didn't even look at Lin Yun and only coldly stared at Joy. "Alright, Joy, you have seen the Heaven Awakening Potion. I still have some work to do, so I won't keep you here."
These words seemed to be directed at Joy, but in reality, they were directed at Lin Yun. Moreover, they were very impolite, as if he was telling Lin Yun that he didn't welcome him here and that he should hurry up and leave with Joy.
"Osul, you are too …" Joy's face suddenly turned red. Although he knew that this old guy had a bad temper, he truly hadn't expected it to be this bad.
'But forget it, that old guy is currently in a fit of anger, and the failure of the Heaven Awakening Potion is a blow to him. I reckon he won't listen to me. I might as well take Merlin away first and wait until the gathering in Oddrock City the day after tomorrow to find a way to make Merlin apologize to me.'
As he thought of this, Joy quietly pulled Lin Yun, planning to take the two of them out of Lullaby Forest.
But he hadn't expected that Joy wouldn't be able to pull him away.
Not only did the young Great Mage show no intention of leaving, but he instead took a step forward and stood in front of Osul.
"Shit, this is bad …" Joy saw this and immediately knew that something bad had happened. With Osul's temperament, if Merlin said a few more words, he might even make a move on the spot.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Because when Lin Yun took that step, Osul's expression became extremely unsightly, and when he looked at Lin Yun, anger could be seen in his eyes.
This time, even Joy couldn't help worrying. This was the anger of an Artisan. Let alone a 5th Rank Great Mage, even a 5th Rank High Mage or an Archmage might not be able to withstand it.
But Lin Yun didn't seem to feel anything and directly walked in front of Osul with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Sir Osul, there are no mana fluctuations, so this Heaven Awakening Potion might not necessarily be a failure …"
"Ridiculous …" Osul snorted disdainfully. 'Sure enough, these ridiculous alchemists are always like this. After throwing out a shocking point of view, they would give a specious method to prove to me that they are very talented.'
If it had been before, Osul might have just sneered and ignored him, but this time, Osul was truly angry. After saying "ridiculous", he didn't let Lin Yun off.
"Tell me your reason!"
This time, Osul made up his mind. He wanted Lin Yun to keep talking. If he didn't do well, then he wouldn't be polite. Lin Yun really didn't put an Artisan in his eyes. Any random alchemist that wanted to play to the gallery could run to an Artisan and question him.
'What is he thinking …'
'Is he trying to challenge the authority of an Artisan?
'Since that's the case, I'll let you keep talking and see what you can say. Don't blame me for not giving Joy face if there are any loopholes.'
'But I hadn't expected that this young Great Mage named Mafa Merlin would be so bold. He actually kept talking after being questioned, and he was very impolite.
"Your Excellency Osul, don't tell me you haven't learned Chaos Theory?"
"Merlin!" Joy was suddenly startled. He couldn't care less and berated Lin Yun, interrupting him.
'This is too daring …'
Although the previous questioning was excessive, it could still be explained. If he was a bit thick-skinned, he could say that this was an academic discussion between alchemists.
But what he said just now …
'That's too daring. Using that kind of tone in front of an Artisan to ask if he had never studied Primal Chaos Theory, what are you doing? 'You are mocking an Artisan, this is the same as slapping the face of an Artisan. Let alone a 5th Rank Great Mage like you, even a 5th Rank Archmage wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!'
Thinking of the consequences, Joy couldn't help inwardly grumbling.
'If I had known earlier, I would have used Flight to bring that kid and Solomon to Oddrock City. How could I be so stupid as to bring them to the Lullaby Forest? Not only did I not get the Heaven Awakening Potion, I might even offend Osul.'
The most frightening part was …
Osul definitely wouldn't let Merlin off.
If he made a move, he definitely couldn't sit and watch as a genius like Merlin fell here. If that happened, it would be a problem for him to maintain his friendship with Osul for a few hundred years.
"Merlin, you are too outrageous. Is Sir Osul someone you can question? If you want to ask for guidance, you have to have the attitude of asking for guidance. Hurry up and apologize to Sir Osul. You are still young and can't speak properly. Sir Osul won't lower himself to your level … "
Joy berated Lin Yun while sizing up Osul's expression.
At this time, he truly didn't dare to relax his vigilance, fearing that Osul would attack out of anger. That wouldn't be as simple as the fall of a young genius. To the entire Cloud Tower, to countless mages, that would be an unbearable loss.
