In exchange, he would awaken the Dusk Fire's Flame Spirit ahead of time.
This was a win-win deal in itself. Lin Yun needed the Dusk Fire to open a fertile plane, and Osul also urgently wanted the Dusk Fire's Flame Spirit to awaken ahead of time. Thus, the two of them hit it off and reached an agreement on the carriage.
To be honest, Lin Yun also hoped to have his own Flame Spirit.
Among Noscent's Six Great Magic Spirits, Flame Spirits could be said to be the most widely used, especially the Upper Rank Flame Spirits. They were omnipotent, and not only could they provide formidable fighting power, but they could also raise alchemy to a higher level. Naturally, Flame Spirits of that level were very rare. Even Osul's Dusk Fire was only a High Rank Flame Spirit.
But now, after hearing Solomon's words, Lin Yun felt that a Flame Spirit was most likely buried under the Ash Tower. Even if it wasn't a High Rank one, it was most likely a High Rank one.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun was somewhat tempted.
"How about it, Merlin, do you want to come with me to take a look? If we find Rudolph's relics, how about we split them in half? "
"Haha …" Lin Yun looked at Solomon for a long time, but he didn't immediately agree. Instead, he said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "It looks like there are many arrays in Rudolph's ruins …"
"…" Solomon's smile froze. Indeed, there were many powerful arrays in Rudolph's ruins.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run over in the middle of the night.
Originally, the best candidate to explore Rudolph's ruins would have been the Sage Tower's Thorpe.
He was a High Mage, only a step away from the Master Alchemist realm, and most importantly, Thorpe was truly on his side.
The problem was that Thorpe couldn't come.
Who made Oddrock City be in the Ash Tower's sphere of influence?
He could enter Oddrock City because his teacher was participating in the Magic Hand's gathering, but if even Thorpe came, wouldn't the Ash Tower cry? If two of the three big shots of the Sage Tower came down, would the Ash Tower still be able to survive?
Therefore, after thinking about it, it could only be Merlin …
Speaking of which, Merlin was also a good candidate. Whether it was in terms of magic or alchemy, he was above Thorpe. The only problem was that Merlin wasn't willing to suffer a loss. Even if they found Rudolph's relics, they would have to share at least half of it.
Lin Yun thought about it and didn't refuse. "Let's split it in half, but I want the right to choose first."
"Sure!"
Then, Solomon simply explained the situation of Rudolph's ruins. The entrance was at the lowest floor of the Ash Tower, a basement used to store all kinds of magic materials. The rune to open the secret door was on the Hell Destroyer Scroll. It was a rune composed of seven Nesser Runes, and Lin Yun only needed to listen to it once to firmly remember it in his heart.
"Oh right, there seems to be someone watching you outside."
"I know, it's fine to leave a substitute." Lin Yun nodded. When he went upstairs, Lin Yun knew that there was a young mage following him, probably sent by Dylan. But that young mage didn't make any moves, so Lin Yun didn't feel like doing anything.
"Good." After saying that, Solomon cast a Substitution Spell and an identical Solomon appeared in Lin Yun's room.
Lin Yun didn't stand on ceremony and softly chanted an incantation, summoning a Water Elemental. At the same time, his Magic Array rapidly revolved, and the Water Elemental quickly gained all of Lin Yun's characteristics. Even the mana fluctuations were identical. As long as they didn't personally enter, no one would be able to discover that it was a substitute.
"Merlin, if I had invited you to join the Sage Tower earlier, would you have agreed?" Solomon looked at the Water Elemental and couldn't help sighing.
This Water Elemental didn't seem as realistic as his Substitution Spell, and it was also more troublesome. But one shouldn't forget that the person in front of him was only a 5th Rank Great Mage. Being able to use a Water Elemental in place of a Substitution Spell was already an amazing achievement.
No wonder his teacher Joy kept praising this young Great Mage. Just from this, it could be seen that although Merlin was only a 5th Rank Great Mage, his mana imitation ability was far above that of a High Mage. This couldn't even be described as a genius. Solomon even felt that this young Great Mage was born for magic. Maybe one day, Thousand Sails City would have its first Heaven Mage.
Unfortunately, he refused to join the Sage Tower.
This wasn't the first time Solomon sighed with emotion.
Every time he saw this young Great Mage, Solomon would feel as if he had just met him. Each time he saw him, he would be more and more surprised, more and more shocked. Thus, Solomon would sigh with emotion again and again. If he had made his move earlier, would Merlin have already joined the Sage Tower?
"That's hard to say …" Lin Yun didn't know how to answer.
"Sigh …" Solomon sighed heavily, and released a Mage's Eye to investigate the situation outside. After confirming that there was only one young mage monitoring them, he cast an Invisibility spell. "Let's go, we'll meet up at the entrance."
After saying that, Solomon directly left the room.
'This is a bit bullying …' Lin Yun scratched his cheek. Invisibility was a High Mage's specialty. Although he could use the Magic Array to simulate it, it wouldn't last more than thirty seconds.
Naturally, this small matter wouldn't stump Lin Yun.
Lin Yun took out the Book of Death and pressed his hand on the first page. He quickly chanted a Haste incantation, and one of the five empty Ultimate Spell slots suddenly lit up.
After doing this, Lin Yun cast a Shadow Walk and his whole body turned into a faint shadow. Although he wasn't completely invisible, there was no difference between being invisible and being in the shadows. Moreover, the advantage of Shadow Walk was that as long as Lin Yun was in the shadows, his mana fluctuations would be completely restrained. Even a High Mage like Dylan wouldn't be able to discover him.
At the same time, mana was poured into the Book of Death and Haste, which had just been upgraded to an Ultimate Spell, was instantly activated.
Lin Yun's speed already surpassed the scope of what ordinary people could understand, and with the effect of Shadow Walk, Lin Yun effortlessly avoided the young mage's surveillance. It took less than a minute for Lin Yun to pass through the layers of guards and reach the other side's magic materials.
Lin Yun waited in the basement for a while before Solomon came down.
'So fast?' Solomon was startled when he saw Lin Yun.
Originally, Saruman thought that with his Invisibility, unless he met Dylan himself, his journey would be smooth and unimpeded. No matter what, he would not arrive later than Merlin.
But he hadn't expected that Merlin would already be waiting for him when he entered the basement, and it looked like he had been waiting for quite a while.
'Fuck, I should've tied him to the Sage Tower back then!' Solomon viciously cursed in his heart before spitting out the rune to open the secret door.
Then, the two saw an array slowly appearing on the empty wall.
"This is …" Lin Yun frowned when he saw this array.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing …" Lin Yun wasn't sure at the moment, so he could only shake his head and remind him, "But you'd better be careful after going in …"
"Do you have a way to crack this array?"
"I'll give it a try." After saying that, Lin Yun crouched down in front of the array and carefully looked at the direction of each mana circuit while quickly revolving the Magic Array to analyze the entire array's structure.
Time slowly passed, but Lin Yun 'frown only deepened.
"How is it?" Solomon was getting more and more anxious as he watched and had already urged Lin Yun a few times.
"Don't rush me, don't rush me, it's almost done …" Lin Yun impatiently waved his hand.
In fact, cracking the array wasn't that difficult.
This array was only at the Master Alchemist level. It wouldn't be difficult for an unconventional Master Alchemist like Lin Yun to crack it. What made Lin Yun unable to make up his mind was the array itself.
When he first saw this array, a thought appeared in Lin Yun's mind. This was a Planar Path!
That's right, the entire array's structure was tailor-made for a Planar Path!
But then, Lin Yun discovered that the mana source of this Planar Path was too huge.
No, it wasn't just any mana crystal, it was the entire Ash Tower.
The mana source of this array was directly above the Ash Tower. In other words, once this array was activated, the entire Ash Tower would be supplying it with mana. This was very abnormal. If a Planar Path was being supplied with mana from the entire Ash Tower, then there was only one possibility.
This Planar Path was very unstable!
This was the real reason why Lin Yun didn't dare to make a move.
Setting foot on an unstable Planar Path was too dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he might be torn to shreds by the shattered space.
Lin Yun couldn't make up his mind at this time.
Was it worth it to take such a huge risk for a Flame Spirit that might exist?
The Magic Array never stopped working. The entire array had already been thoroughly dismantled by Lin Yun and he was analyzing it over and over again.
"Eh?" On the 6th analysis, Lin Yun finally made a new discovery.
