"Haha, Mafa Merlin, you can't stay in Thousand Sails City anymore, so you ran to Oddrock City? I heard that your father, Roger Merlin, died at sea and even the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce went bankrupt. Now, you are the only one left. You are truly pitiful … "The young mage seemed to be in his twenties, and he seemed to be spitting on Lin Yun's face.
The problem was that Lin Yun didn't know him.
This made Lin Yun a bit angry. 'I don't even know you, so why are you running over to me?'
Lin Yun unhappily took a step back to avoid the young mage's spit attack while looking at Solomon with doubt.
"He is Harrison Burns, the son of Kerry Burns …" Solomon looked at Lin Yun and knew that this young Great Mage's amnesia had flared up again.
In fact, this was an open secret in Thousand Sails City. Almost everyone knew that although Roger Merlin's son had risen to power at a frightening speed, his memory seemed to have deteriorated a lot. He would often stare at people before asking, "Who are you?"
"Who is Kerry Burns?"
"…" Solomon's face twitched. He had clearly underestimated this young Great Mage's forgetfulness. Thus, the number one High Mage of Thousand Sails City had no choice but to remind him, "The owner of the Blue Moon chamber of commerce, one of the seven chambers of commerce of Thousand Sails City. He used to be in the alchemy business just like your father, Roger Merlin. Later on, the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce became too big and monopolized the alchemy business of Thousand Sails City, so Kerry Burns shifted the focus of the Blue Moon chamber of commerce to Oddrock City. Remember carefully …"
From this last sentence, it could be seen that Solomon had already lost his patience. He was an esteemed peak High Mage, the master of the Sage Tower. Wasn't it a bit excessive for him to help you remember these trivial matters?
"Uh …" Lin Yun also knew that this was a bit too much. After being ridiculed by Saruman, Lin Yun scratched his head and began to search through Mafa Merlin's memories.
As a result, Lin Yun managed to find the answer he wanted.
Speaking of Creeburns, he was really unlucky …
Originally, the Burns Family had been operating an alchemy business in Thousand Sails City for several hundred years. But when it reached Kerry Burns' generation, Locke Merlin appeared out of nowhere. After twenty years, the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce grew from nothing to a colossus that crushed all the major chambers of commerce. The Blue Moon chamber of commerce's market was nibbled away day by day. In the end, it even completely separated from the alchemy market and became a foil to the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce.
As for Harrison in front of him …
He was the eldest son of Leader Chris. He had shown good magic talent since childhood and became an Official Mage in his teens. He then studied at Okland Magic School for three years and was already a 9th Rank Mage by the time he returned to Thousand Sails City.
At his age, he could be considered a well-known figure among the younger generation of Thousand Sails City. Mafa Merlin or Mason Monchi couldn't compare to him. At the time, many people compared him to Ryan Monchi.
It was a pity that Harrison was not as good as Ryan …
Ryan came from the Monchi Family, one of the strongest forces of Thousand Sails City. Even the rise of the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce didn't pose a threat to the Monchi Family.
But Harrison was different. He came from the Blue Moon chamber of commerce. At that time, the Blue Moon chamber of commerce had already been pressured by the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce. If not for Locke Merlin not wanting to exterminate them, the Blue Moon chamber of commerce might have already declared bankruptcy.
At that time, Harrison had just returned from Okland Magic School. He had already become a 9th Rank Mage at such a young age, so he was naturally proud and arrogant. When he saw the miserable state of the Blue Moon chamber of commerce, he immediately found an excuse to teach a lesson to Mafa Merlin.
One was a 9th Rank Mage, the other was a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice. The result was obvious.
In short, Mafa Merlin returned covered in cuts and bruises, which infuriated Locke Merlin.
This Master of the Flashing Gold Trade Union used all of his power, like a cold wind sweeping away fallen leaves. He only used a month's time to force the Blue Moon Trade Union, which was already in a difficult situation, into a desperate situation.
Seeing that the chamber of commerce was on the verge of bankruptcy, Creeburns couldn't sit still. That very night, he brought Harrison to Locke Merlin and had the 9th Rank Mage, Harrison, lower his head and apologize to the 9th Rank Magic Apprentice, Mafa Merlin.
In the end, Locke Merlin let the Blue Moon chamber of commerce off, but at the same time, he told Creeburns that he didn't want to see Harrison in Thousand Sails City anymore.
It was precisely because of this that Kerry Burns moved the business of the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce to Oddrock City, and Harrison joined the Ash Tower, becoming a Great Mage two years ago.
"Now you remember who I am …" Seeing Lin Yun frown, Harrison felt a burst of joy.
Back then, it was because of this Mafa Merlin that he had no choice but to apologize, and it was also because of this Mafa Merlin that his father's Blue Moon chamber of commerce had no choice but to leave Thousand Sails City.
Originally, the Blue Moon chamber of commerce had been developing well in Oddrock City in the past few years, and he had also become a Great Mage in the Ash Tower. Harrison had already gradually forgotten everything about Thousand Sails City.
But he hadn't expected to run into Mafa Merlin here today.
'This is truly a dramatic reunion. The humiliation Locke Merlin gave me back then will be repaid a hundredfold to his son today …'
As he thought of this, Harrison once again sized up Lin Yun.
Although he was wearing a brand new black robe, besides the good craftsmanship, there weren't many mana fluctuations. Moreover, he seemed to be empty-handed, not even a magic staff. It seemed that the news from Thousand Sails City that the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce had gone bankrupt after Locke Merlin's death at sea was true.
Otherwise, how could Locke Merlin's son have fallen to such a state?
After all, when Locke Merlin was still alive, he had opened an alchemy shop in Thousand Sails City's most prosperous Victorious Return Street to make it more convenient for his son to learn magic.
But now …
At this time, Harrison couldn't help sighing. The arrogant Young Master of the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce had actually fallen to such a state.
"Hey, Mafa Merlin, what are you doing in the Ash Tower?" Harrison's voice carried a strong sense of superiority. If one didn't know the situation, they might have thought that the master of the Ash Tower was Harrison.
"A small matter." Lin Yun naturally wouldn't tell Harrison that the "small matter" he was talking about was actually attending the Magic Hand's gathering.
But in Harrison's eyes, this vague attitude was naturally a different matter.
"Oh …" Harrison's voice was dragged out, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he understood.
Of course, it was only because Harrison thought he understood.
Harrison felt that Mafa Merlin had come to Oddrock City because he had received the news that the Ash Tower was recruiting new members and wanted to look for an opportunity.
This was very normal.
The Ash Tower was one of the two major mage forces in the eastern part of the kingdom. Every year, when they recruited new members, there would be many Magic Apprentices and low-ranked mages looking for opportunities. Everyone knew that as long as they could obtain a position in the Ash Tower, their status would immediately increase a hundredfold. Not only would they have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from a Great Mage, but they would also have access to the most profound magic knowledge.
Usually, they would provide all kinds of generous treatment that those Magic Apprentices and low-ranked mages couldn't even imagine.
Thinking of this, Harrison couldn't help sneering. 'If it was before, I might have really let you, Mafa Merlin, sneak into the Ash Tower.
But this time, don't even dream about it. '
'I'm afraid you still don't know, but the person standing in front of you is one of the people in charge of the Low Rank Mage recruitment …'
"I say, Mafa Merlin, wanting to join the Ash Tower isn't easy …"
"Eh?" Lin Yun suddenly froze, thinking, 'When did I say I wanted to join the Ash Tower?'
"What are you saying? Don't think that I'm joking. Do you know that every year, if not a thousand low-ranked mages want to join the Ash Tower, there are at least eight hundred? But look at how many of them succeed in the end. I'm not bragging, but the Ash Tower's treatment is the best in the entire eastern part of the kingdom … "
"…" Hearing this, Lin Yun couldn't help turning to look at Solomon.
'Damnit …'
Solomon suddenly wanted to curse. 'That little bastard of the Burns Family, he really isn't anything. I originally just wanted to watch the fun, but you have nothing better to do than to drag me down with you? 'What' best treatment in the entire eastern part of the kingdom '? Do you think I don't know the ins and outs of the Ash Tower?'
Unfortunately, Harrison simply didn't know that he was already being hated by a peak High Mage.
Harrison's current thoughts were very simple, he wanted to praise the Ash Tower as much as he could. The better he praised the Ash Tower, the more he would humiliate Mafa Merlin, and when he finally refused, the more painful it would be for Mafa Merlin.
"Let me tell you, the mages of the Ash Tower can get a Health Potion every year. Do you know what a Health Potion is? "When you're injured, a Health Potion is equivalent to a second life. In addition, you can enter the Ash Tower's library once a year. There, you can find the most profound magic knowledge in the entire eastern part of the kingdom. It's a temple of knowledge that all mages yearn for. Just look at me. It's because I obtained the opportunity to enter the Ash Tower's library that I was able to become a Great Mage in a short three years …"
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Solomon, who was next to him, really wanted to curse.
Damn, that little bastard from the Burns Family, are his eyes growing on his buttocks? Don't tell me you can't see who is standing in front of you?
The one standing in front of you is the boss of the Gilded Rose, the number of alchemy items produced every month is more than what you have seen in your entire life!
