Unfortunately, Kave didn't know.
Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun's speed at writing the formula was too fast. Kave had only been distracted for a moment and missed six new formulas. Kave still thought that the young Great Mage was still writing the first one.
Kave confidently thought that it was only a formula, and with his decades of reputation and prestige, he would be able to reverse the situation.
He might even be able to obtain some benefits from it.
For example, he could take this formula for himself.
Kave had taken some time to look at it before. Although the key parts of the formula used special magic characters, Kave felt that this wasn't too big of a problem. The gap in magic knowledge between a 5th Rank Great Mage and a 9th Rank Archmage had already reached a crushing level. As long as he put in a bit of effort, it wouldn't be difficult to decipher these special characters.
Thus, Kave didn't feel any psychological burden when he said those words.
"Sir Kave, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want …" At this time, Lin Yun had already finished writing the 7th formula. Under the frightened gazes of the Archmages, he finally put down Joy's quill.
"Phew …"
Everyone sighed in relief when Lin Yun put down his quill.
Too frightening …
Lin Yun's crazy performance had already given everyone the misconception that Lin Yun would keep writing. Fortunately, Lin Yun finally stopped after writing the seven new formulas.
If it had been in the past, these Archmages would have definitely begged him to keep showing off his magic knowledge. But now, they only wanted to say, 'Great Mage Merlin, hurry up and stop your ability …'
It couldn't be helped. He was really scared out of his wits.
Seven new formulas were poured out. Even if these Archmages had strong mental fortitude, they were still scared out of their wits. This kind of behavior couldn't be described as crazy, they were truly afraid. After the 7th, there would be an 8th, and after the 8th, there would be a 9th …
Seeing Lin Yun put down the quill in his hand, the group of Archmages secretly wiped their cold sweat while inwardly rejoicing. 'Fortunately, fortunately, it's finally over …'
Unfortunately, Kave had once again overlooked these details.
This 9th Rank Archmage was already safely immersed in his own world. Although he didn't have time to decipher those special characters, Kave was already very confident in the upcoming confrontation.
It wasn't for anything else, it was because he was a 9th Rank Archmage and that Mafa Merlin was only a 5th Rank Great Mage.
A gap of more than twenty levels was more than enough to turn this confrontation into a complete one-sided slaughter.
Kave didn't even think about it before putting on the airs of a 9th Rank Archmage. "Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one last chance. Leave the Ash Tower now and I'll act as if nothing happened …"
"Sir Kave is too polite …" Lin Yun raised his head and smiled at Kave while arranging the papers on the table.
"Looks like you really plan on resisting to the end …" Kave sneered as he walked to the center of the Banquet Hall. "Since that's the case, don't blame me for exposing you. Mafa Merlin, do you dare to tell everyone where you were between one and three o 'clock last night?"
"What does this have to do with plagiarism?" Lin Yun was startled. 'Could it be that the Demiplane has been exposed?' But Lin Yun had lived at the end of the magic era for over twenty years, and his nerves had long since been tempered. Although he was secretly startled, he didn't show it on his face.
"Haha, you don't dare to answer …" The smile on Kave's face gradually disappeared. "Let me speak on your behalf. Last night, between one and three o 'clock, you quietly snuck into the Ash Tower's secret research room and stole this crucial magic formula. Did you think you could hide it from everyone's eyes and ears?"
"Sir Kave, I'll say it again, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be spoken indiscriminately …" Lin Yun almost cursed on the spot. 'Damn, your framing is really good, I almost told the truth …'
"Alright, Mafa Merlin, give up on your pitiful wishful thinking. Ask these Archmages, what kind of person am I? My reputation, my character. How could I wrongly accuse an insignificant 5th Rank Great Mage like you?" After Kave confidently said this, his gaze swept through the Archmages one by one.
In Kave's mind, it was time for a dozen Archmages to support him.
But Kave hadn't expected that after looking around, not a single Archmage would speak up to support him. Instead, they all lowered their heads, as if they had discussed it beforehand. No one was willing to look at him for even a moment.
'What's going on?'
Kave suddenly felt a bit stumped.
'Could it be that Joy's influence in the Magic Hand is already that great? Not a single Archmage dares to speak up for me, isn't this too outrageous?
'No, no, even if Joy's influence is great, Sir Hören shouldn't be afraid of him, right?
'Why is Sir Hören lowering his head?'
Even in his wildest dreams, Kave had never imagined that Harren would lower his head and greet his eighteen generations of ancestors.
'This is a f * cking pig-like teammate, how could I have been so naive …
'There are a dozen Archmages in the Banquet Hall, why did you have to choose a pig-like teammate like Kave?
Damn it, he's already poured out seven brand new magic formulas. At a time like this, can't you just obediently admit defeat? At most, you'll just say a few words of praise, "Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you, I'm very optimistic about you," and so on. Will that make you lose a piece of meat?
'This isn't your fault. Seven new magic formulas, this is a natural disaster. It's not something that can be stopped by humans. I, Hören, am not an unreasonable person, I can't vent my anger on you because of a natural disaster.
'But you, Kave, are good …
You've already come this far, and you still want to struggle? What are you trying to do? Do you think it's too straightforward for me to pour out seven formulas at once? Do you want me to slap you in the face one formula at a time before you're happy?
Harren felt that he was really too f * cking innocent!
Kave also felt that he was innocent …
'Shouldn't you all be supporting me? Why are you all lowering your heads now? Especially you, Hören. You are the mastermind behind the scenes, why are you lowering your head now? '
Unfortunately, Kave was like an arrow nocked on a bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot. After sweeping the Banquet Hall and not getting the support he had expected, Kave could only brace himself and go up.
"Mafa Merlin, I advise you, stubbornly resisting won't do you any good. Your only choice is to immediately confess your crimes. For the sake of Sir Joy, I won't bicker with you too much …"
"Kave, shut up!" Joy had been provoked several times today and had already been suppressing a bellyful of anger. He clearly had the upper hand, but Kave still said that it was for the sake of him. It was easy to imagine how Joy was feeling right now.
Joy was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling. He grabbed the seven sheets of paper from Lin Yun's table and angrily walked over to Kave. "Kave, tell me now, which magic formula was stolen from the Ash Tower!"
"What do you mean which one?" Kave stared blankly. Why was this different from what he had imagined?
'Hold on, why are there so many sheets of paper?'
Thinking of this, Kave suddenly felt his hands and feet turn cold, because he suddenly realized an outrageous possibility.
'Could it be …'
Thinking about it, Kave's face turned deathly pale. If that was really the case, then everything would be over. His reputation would be ruined.
'Impossible, impossible …'
At this time, Kave no longer dared to think about taking this new magic formula for himself. Kave only hoped that things weren't as serious as he thought.
Unfortunately, even this bit of hope was immediately shattered by Joy.
Because in the next moment, Joey had already smashed a piece of paper on Kave's face. As he did so, he asked, "Is it this one, is it this one, is it this one …"
The seven pieces of paper were like seven heavy slaps to the face. Every time they hit Kave's face, everyone seemed to hear a crisp 'pa' sound.
The entire Banquet Hall was incomparably silent. Besides Joy's angry roars, only Kave's desperate and helpless breathing could be heard.
Everyone couldn't help lowering their heads. They couldn't bear to watch any longer, because they all knew that Kave's reputation had been thoroughly tarnished just a moment ago.
An esteemed 9th Rank Archmage wrongly accused a 5th Rank Great Mage, and he even wanted to take that 5th Rank Great Mage's magic knowledge for himself. This couldn't be described as shameless anymore. Most importantly, that 9th Rank Archmage actually failed.
If this spread, it would become the biggest scandal of the kingdom.
At this time, even Hören, the mastermind behind the scenes, only wanted to say, 'I really don't know Kave …'
"You don't even know what these seven formulas are, yet you dare to claim that they are the results of your Ash Tower's research? Kave, you are really promising …" After saying that, Joy pointed at the seven sheets of paper on the ground. "Pick them up and take a good look, see what these seven formulas are!"
