Unfortunately, Syudos felt that it was too early and didn't give Lin Yun the answer he wanted.
Lin Yun had always wanted to know what Rudolph had done to make Syudos hate him so much. Not only did Rudolph struggle free when that Heaven Mage died, but he also burned his corpse to ashes. After all, Rudolph and Syudos had been together for hundreds of years, maybe even over a millennium. Why did Syudos act so excessively?
Unfortunately, Lin Yun had already used five Magic Arrays to suppress Syudos.
If that Upper Rank Flame Spirit wanted to speak again, he would have to wait for at least a month. At that time, Lin Yun would have already carved all kinds of runes on his body and thoroughly fused it with his body, so he wouldn't have to worry about Rudolph's tragedy repeating itself.
As for before that …
"This … High Mage Solomon, don't you think we should …"
"Let's go back first, let's go back first …" Solomon didn't wait for Lin Yun to finish before taking the initiative to suggest it. Nothing could be done about it, Dylan's appearance had truly startled Solomon and he didn't have the courage to continue exploring this Demiplane.
Fortunately, Syudos had already been captured by Lin Yun and the Teleportation Gate connected to the array was no longer emitting endless Ice Elements. The two spent about ten minutes clearing the Ice Elements in the hallway before leaving this Demiplane filled with countless secrets.
But even Solomon didn't know that when Lin Yun opened the Planar Path, he spat out five characters that no one had ever seen before.
These five characters came from the Book of Death. One was used for positioning, three were used to open a Planar Path, and the last one was something Solomon couldn't even imagine. It was a character with a delayed burst. After three minutes, that character would thoroughly burst out and destroy the original Planar Path, thoroughly cutting off anyone's hope of entering this Demiplane.
In other words …
Lin Yun only used five characters to seize the Demiplane left behind by Rudolph. From then on, the Book of Death would become the only key to open this Demiplane.
Just like what Lin Yun had said earlier …
"Do you think I will leave an entire plane to the Ash Tower?"
…
After the two returned to the Ash Tower, Lin Yun asked Saruman for 'Mana Vine Cultivation', and completely copied it in his room. This was the book that Lin Yun valued the most among Saruman's three to four hundred magic books. Mana Vines might only be the icing on the cake for the Mage Tower. Although it would bring huge benefits, it wasn't to the point of being indispensable.
But for Lin Yun, the Mana Vine was really indispensable.
Because Lin Yun had already thoroughly seized the Demiplane left behind by Rudolph. Although it was only a Planar Path in Lin Yun's hands and he had only explored a small part of that tower, one day, Lin Yun would grasp the entire Demiplane in his hands and might even walk the path of Great Astrologer Agalon.
At that time, the Mana Vine would truly be indispensable to Lin Yun. The mana needed to grow a Demiplane was far from what an ordinary mage could bear.
Just look at Rudolph. An esteemed Heaven Mage managed this Demiplane to such a desolate state. It wasn't that Rudolph didn't know how to manage it, it was that the growth of a Demiplane required too much mana. Not to mention anything else, just stabilizing the four elements required the mana of a peak Heaven Mage. Without the Mana Vines to provide that mana, it was unknown how long it would take for this Demiplane to truly grow.
Naturally, it was still too early to say this.
Before completely exploring the entire Demiplane, Lin Yun didn't dare to make too many moves. Especially the True Spirit Array in the hall of the tower, it made Lin Yun very vigilant. That was a True Spirit Array, it was equivalent to the power of an Archmage. Even a fool would know that it was a very dangerous thing to use that kind of power to suppress it.
Lin Yun felt that he would have to become a 5th Rank High Mage before he would have enough strength to touch that array. Before that, it would be best not to act blindly without thinking.
Moreover, he didn't have a Mana Vine Seed.
Lin Yun only finished copying – Mana Vine Breeding – in the wee hours of the morning. He planned for the future while yawning and falling asleep.
As a result, Joy came over at dawn the next day.
"Merlin, wake up."
"So early?" Lin Yun sleepily opened the door and saw Joy standing outside with a sleepy Solomon next to him.
"Why do you all look like you're still asleep?" Jouyi looked at Lin Yun, then at Solomon, and doubtfully asked.
"…" Solomon almost choked on his own saliva. How could he answer? He couldn't tell Joy that he hadn't slept at all last night because he had gone to steal, could he?
Fortunately, Lin Yun was thick-skinned enough. After thinking for a while, he said, "It might be because I'm not used to the climate …"
"Not used to the climate?"
"Right, right, right, not used to the climate …"
"Forget it …" Joy shook his head. Although he knew that this definitely wasn't something that could be explained by not being used to the climate, an esteemed peak Archmage like him wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of such a trivial matter. Thus, he only gave Solomon a warning glance and didn't continue pestering him. He only nodded at Lin Yun and said, "The Magic Hand's people are almost all here, follow me."
"Oh, okay …" Lin Yun hastily tidied himself up before following Joy to the 10th floor of the Ash Tower, to the largest Banquet Hall.
As the organizer of the Magic Hand's gathering, the Ash Tower had clearly made ample preparations. Although the decorations of the Banquet Hall weren't magnificent, they had spent a lot of money to create a low-key and comfortable environment that mages liked the most. Puppets acted as attendants, and several hundred Light Enchantments illuminated the hall. Even an unremarkable goblet was a fine product of the Crystal Workshop. The entire Banquet Hall was filled with a dense aura of mana.
"This is Mogg, the master of Whistling Island, the Archmage known as the Hurricane Emissary, and that is the Elder of Oddrock City's Fein Family. He entered the ranks of Archmages several hundred years ago and might be even more senior than me and Osul. That is the Shadow Lord, Dylan's teacher. He was the one who fiercely opposed you joining the Magic Hand yesterday …" After entering the Banquet Hall, Joy greeted everyone while introducing them to Lin Yun in a low voice.
'Sure enough, it's the Magic Hand …' Lin Yun was inwardly apprehensive. The few people that Joy introduced were all peak mages of the kingdom. It could be said that this group of people already stood at the peak of the kingdom's magic. The power they held could even topple the kingdom's rule.
"Oh, right, you have met Nolan of the Mercury Tower. His disciple is Karon, he studied the Fanrusen Formula with you."
"Oh …" Lin Yun followed Joy's gaze and saw a white-haired old man with a kind smile nodding at him.
'It looks like Karon must have said a lot of good things about me in front of Nolan, or else Nolan wouldn't have shown such kindness here.' Lin Yun thought as he nodded at the old man with a smile.
"Joy, long time no see." While the two were talking, a middle-aged mage walked over from a distance.
The middle-aged mage looked to be in his forties. He had a handsome face and a tall stature. His hair was meticulously combed, and although he was a bit pale, his smile was very amiable. Even Lin Yun couldn't help having a good impression of him when he saw him and compared him with Joy.
Naturally, the results of the comparison didn't need to be said.
Joy was always wearing a gray robe. Not only was it wrinkled, but it was also stained. Compared to this middle-aged mage, he looked like a beggar.
"Hören, step aside, I still have something to do …" Joy, who had been smiling and greeting others, had a serious expression when he saw this person. He led Lin Yun away.
"Sir Joy …" Lin Yun was a bit curious, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't help hesitating. He didn't know whether he should ask or not.
"That's Harren, the Chairman of the Black Tower's Council. He was already a 9th Rank Archmage a hundred years ago. Don't be fooled by his young appearance, he has already lived for a few hundred years. It's just that he absorbed the essence of the Dark Azure Tree in the Dark Azure Plane that allowed him to maintain that appearance. An esteemed 9th Rank Archmage dresses up gorgeously every day. He doesn't think it's shameful, but rather proud of it. Shameless ladyboy …"
"…"
The two walked through the Banquet Hall and quickly found Osul.
"How is it, Osul?"
"It's not a big problem. I contacted all the members yesterday and proposed some exchanges. Most of them agreed to let Merlin join the Magic Hand, but I might have to ask Merlin a few questions in order to determine whether Merlin has the magic knowledge they need. You know, Joy, this has always been the rule."
"Yes." Jouyi nodded and patted Lin Yun's shoulder. "It'll be up to you in a while."
"No problem." Lin Yun wasn't worried at all. There might not be anyone in this era that could stump him in terms of magic theory.
