Dylan's frown deepened.
In the lobby of the Ash Tower, Dylan had said that it would be best if Saruman could stay close to that youth. The meaning behind his words was that as long as Saruman took even half a step away, the Ash Tower's retaliation would follow.
For Declan, it was something he had to do.
Harrison's serious injury wasn't just related to himself, it was also related to the Ash Tower's face, it was related to Dylan's prestige. If that youth was really allowed to leave Oddrock City unscathed, then where would the Ash Tower's face go? How could Dylan make so many mages work for him?
In fact, when he had turned to leave, Dylan had already made up his mind. As long as he couldn't protect Solomon, he would have people make a move against that youth. As for Solomon's reaction, Dylan simply didn't care. The Sage Tower and Ash Tower had been fighting for so many years, and the two sides had fought more than ten times. Both sides had a clear idea of who was stronger and who was weaker.
'To put it bluntly, I can't do anything to you today because your teacher Jouyi is here. But if you want to do anything to me in the Ash Tower's domain, you're just a fool talking in his sleep.'
But now, Dylan suddenly discovered that that young man was most likely Joy's disciple.
This wasn't a joke. Joy was different from Solomon. He was a genuine peak Archmage who had already touched upon Extraordinary Power. If he was unhappy, then let alone Dylan, even Dylan's teacher, Kave, wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, this was the gathering of the Magic Hand, and all the peak mages of the Kingdom of Andalusia were gathered there. If the Ash Tower killed Joy's disciple at this time, it would be a huge problem.
For a moment, Dylan didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. He sent the young mage away and ordered him to continue monitoring him. He then chanted an incantation in a low voice and used a crystal ball in the study to request a video transmission. The moment the crystal ball flickered, Dylan's gloomy expression disappeared and was replaced with a humble expression.
Late at night, Lin Yun had already finished his day of meditation.
'Still too slow …' Lin Yun checked his state. The 6th Magic Array was already being nurtured, but there was still a long time before it would take shape.
Back then, Lin Yun had touched the Reincarnation Eyes several times in the prince tomb, and every time he touched it, it was like going through a reincarnation cycle. He had accumulated over a hundred thousand runes in two months, and half of them had been used to form five Magic Arrays. But the remaining half hadn't been digested by Lin Yun.
This was because after reaching five Magic Arrays, it wouldn't be as simple as piling up runes. Lin Yun would have to integrate these runes into his own magic system and make them fuse with his own mana. There was no shortcut to this, unless he had a fortuitous encounter like the Reincarnation Eyes. Otherwise, Lin Yun could only use patience and perseverance to carry out a battle of attrition.
In fact, Magic Conducting Runes required a lot of time. Let alone the complicated Magic Arrays, even the most basic Magic Conducting Rune, like the Ice Crystal or the Fire Spark, would take a year or two, or even three or four years for many Great Mages to complete.
Lin Yun's current progress was already heaven-defying.
But to Lin Yun, who had completed four Magic Arrays in two months, this kind of progress was somewhat unbearable. After a day of meditation, Lin Yun was already thinking whether he should give the Merlin Family some benefits in exchange for an opportunity to enter the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land.
He might be able to find some clues related to the Magic Array there.
"Merlin … Merlin …" At this time, a deliberately suppressed voice came from outside the door. Lin Yun listened carefully and discovered that it was Solomon's voice.
But, why did the voice of an esteemed peak High Mage sound so sneaky?
"Come in, High Mage Solomon …"
"Shh, keep your voice down …" Solomon entered the room in a flash, tiptoeing with a vigilant expression. That strange expression made Lin Yun confused.
"High Mage Solomon, what are you doing?"
"Shh, shh, shh … Don't call my name, someone might hear!" Solomon said while looking around. That sneaky appearance made it hard for anyone to imagine that this was actually the leader of Thousand Sails City's Mage Guild!
"Yes, yes, yes, I won't call your name …" Lin Yun rolled his eyes and didn't say anything else.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the room, Solomon sighed in relief, but he still spoke in a very low voice, "Merlin, do you know why the Ash Tower is called the Ash Tower?"
"Eh?" Lin Yun almost bit his tongue.
An esteemed 9th Rank High Mage, the master of the Sage Tower, the number one mage of Thousand Sails City, didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked into his room just to ask him this question?
'Do you know why the Ash Tower is called the Ash Tower?'
Lin Yun very much wanted to ask, 'Do you know why a psychopath is called a psychopath?'
"I'll tell you, the reason the Ash Tower is called the Ash Tower is because …" Solomon didn't know what Lin Yun was thinking, and he still had a sneaky expression on his face, "It's because the last Heaven Mage of the 3rd Dynasty, Rudolph, spent the last part of his life here …"
"You mean the one from the Hell Destroyer?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that one …" Solomon casually picked up the cup on the table and drank a mouthful of water before continuing, "It is said that when Rudolph passed away, a flame ignited in his hand and burned the entire tower to ashes. Many years later, Rudolph's three disciples rebuilt the Ash Tower on this land …"
"Oh?" Lin Yun was somewhat spirited.
"People have always thought that Rudolph's three disciples rebuilt the Ash Tower in memory of their teacher. Haha, who would have thought that it was only for the relics left behind by Rudolph …"
"Relics?"
"That's right. Rudolph was seriously injured during the Dusk War, and knowing that his life had come to an end, he buried everything under the tower. Rudolph's three disciples rebuilt the Ash Tower on top of the ashes in order to obtain these relics …"
"How did you know?"
"Haha, I have to thank you for that …"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Don't tell me you've forgotten that you and I bought that incomplete incantation scroll at the Black Horn Auction House, half and half each …"
"…" Lin Yun inwardly cursed. No wonder Solomon was working so hard at that time. He had thought that he had taken a fancy to the Hell Destroyer incantation, but it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the scroll itself …
"You don't need to be so upset, the secret of that scroll can only be seen through by the previous masters of the Sage Tower, because the inheritance of the Sage Tower also came from Rudolph …"
"Then why did you come looking for me?"
"Of course I came to invite you. That's a Heaven Mage's relic, don't tell me you aren't tempted? "Moreover, your relationship with the Ash Tower isn't that good right now. If the Ash Tower obtains Rudolph's relic, their strength would immediately increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, wouldn't you and your Gilded Rose have a hard time?"
"Turns out it's like this …" Lin Yun stared at Solomon for a long time, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. No wonder Solomon was so enthusiastic when Joy came to Oddrock City to participate in the Magic Hand's gathering. It turned out that he was eyeing the Heaven Mage's relic buried under the Ash Tower.
Lin Yun thought about it and felt a bit tempted.
But what tempted Lin Yun wasn't the Heaven Mage's relic.
Lin Yun had returned from 30,000 years in the future, so how could he not know that there were many ruins left behind by Heaven Mages, especially those of the 3rd Dynasty? During that era of crazy grave-digging, at least half of the ruins of the 3rd Dynasty's Heaven Mages had been poisoned.
As long as Lin Yun was willing, he would be able to name the ruins of seven or eight Heaven Mages.
The problem was that digging it up was another matter altogether …
Prince Barov's tomb was proof. Lin Yun had ventured deep into Prince Barov's tomb twice, and it could be said that he had narrowly escaped with his life. But up until now, Lin Yun had only come in contact with the Reincarnation Eyes. As for the true core of the tomb, Lin Yun hadn't even touched it.
Everyone knew that the prince's tomb would definitely contain earth-shattering funerary items, but would Lin Yun dare to go in? Let alone Lin Yun being a 5th Rank Great Mage, even if Lin Yun was a 5th Rank High Mage, he might not have the courage to enter the prince's tomb.
What truly attracted Lin Yun's attention was the story Solomon had just told, the flame ignited in Rudolph's hand.
Lin Yun had been envious of Osul's Dusk Fire for some time.
The Dusk Fire was an innate Flame Spirit. Although it couldn't provide too much fighting power, it had immeasurable value when used in alchemy. It could be said that Osul becoming a Saint Alchemist in the future was due to the Dusk Fire.
Unfortunately, the Dusk Fire had already fallen into Osul's hands.
Lin Yun knew that no matter what he said, Osul wouldn't let go of the Dusk Fire. Thus, on the way, Lin Yun didn't have any ideas about the Dusk Fire. He only mentioned to Osul that he hoped to borrow the Dusk Fire when the time was right.
