"Eh?"
When Lin Yun said that, all the Archmages in the Banquet Hall, including Joy and Hören, were stunned. They all wondered if they had misheard. How could it be "sorry"? This wasn't logical, it was an entire plane, that was a chance to reach the heavens in a single bound.
'Right, right, I must have been too nervous and said something wrong …'
"Sorry, High Mage Hören, three years is too long …" As if he had heard everyone's thoughts, Lin Yun calmly repeated himself.
This time, everyone was really clear about it …
Then, the entire Banquet Hall exploded once again.
'He refused! He actually refused! '
'Hören took out an entire plane, but it was rejected by that young Great Mage!
'This, this, this … This is crazy!'
'How could a normal person refuse such a deal? An entire plane was given to you, yet you actually rejected it and said that three years was too long …'
The conquest of a plane could easily take ten years. Take the Cloud Tower, for example. They discovered the Pale Plane two hundred years ago, and they still haven't finished conquering it. Hören dared to promise to help them conquer it within three years, that is already showing his confidence in the power of the Black Tower, yet you still think that three years is too long? '
At this time, many Archmages started suspecting that this young Great Mage didn't know what a plane meant.
Otherwise, how could he have rejected her?
"Great Mage Merlin, can I ask why?" Hören was very graceful, worthy of Joy calling him a damned ladyboy. After being rejected by Lin Yun, he actually didn't get angry and only politely asked with a smile.
"The reason is complicated …" Lin Yun awkwardly smiled.
Nothing could be done about it, this reason wasn't easy to explain.
He couldn't possibly tell Harren that he had grasped too many plane coordinates, and that he was so busy that he didn't have the time to worry about a plane that he didn't know anything about.
This reason really couldn't be used to explain it …
Otherwise, let alone Harren, even the other Archmages would spit at him. In this era where Planar Coordinates were invaluable, taking out such a shameless reason was simply showing off. He deserved to be spat at by others.
The problem was that this was indeed the truth …
There was no need to mention the planar coordinates Lin Yun had obtained at the end of the magic era. After returning to this era, he had already obtained several planar coordinates through various channels.
First was the Bone Plane …
Although Lin Yun hadn't completely conquered the Bone Plane, with the Book of Death in his hands, he could open a Planar Path anytime. William, Merlin, and Faleau had already occupied the Black Wasteland. As long as they were patient, they would sooner or later conquer the Bone Plane.
This was Lin Yun's foundation, there was no need to say anything else. All his power and resources would definitely be prioritized over the Bone Plane.
There was also the Demon Plane in the depths of the Bone Peak that was adjacent to the Bone Plane. The two planes had already partially overlapped, and even without any external influence, a Planar Path would open sooner or later. What Lin Yun had to do now was think of every possible way to accumulate power and wait until the time was right to attack that Demon Plane in one fell swoop. Lin Yun estimated that the fertility of that Demon Plane wouldn't be much worse than the Bone Plane.
Moreover, Lin Yun had already discussed with Osul about borrowing the Dusk Fire. That was the key to opening the Crescent Sun Plane.
But this matter had to be left for later. Lin Yun still didn't have enough power to enter the Crescent Sun Plane. At the very least, Lin Yun had to become a 5th Rank High Mage to be able to survive in the Crescent Sun Plane.
Moreover, he couldn't forget about the Demiplane Rudolph left behind.
'Just look …'
There were already three and a half planes waiting for Lin Yun to conquer. Not to mention, Lin Yun had memorized the coordinates of the countless planes in the decaying library.
It could be said that Lin Yun only hated himself for not having three heads and six arms so that he couldn't manage a few planes at the same time.
As for the plane Hören mentioned, Lin Yun could only apologize. 'Nothing can be done about it, there really isn't a place for you. How about you line up and make an appointment first?'
Moreover, Lin Yun had already thought of what he wanted from the Black Tower.
Compared to that unknown plane, that was the thing Lin Yun was truly determined to get.
"Sir Hören, I heard that a few months ago, the Black Tower discovered the ruins of the 3rd Dynasty?"
"Oh?" The disappointed Hören frowned when he heard this. "How did Great Mage Merlin know?"
"Haha, I happened to hear it while chatting with someone."
"Indeed, three months ago, the Black Tower indeed discovered the ruins of the 3rd Dynasty. When I came over a few days ago, they had just finished removing all the traps. Now, the three Master Alchemists of the Black Tower are handling the arrays there. I estimate that they can start excavating the ruins in a month …" Hören looked at Lin Yun with a strange expression. "What? Great Mage Merlin also knows about these ruins?"
"I know a bit. If I'm not wrong, these ruins should have been left behind by the Sun King in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty."
"Haha …" Hören knew that the other side definitely knew a bit about the Sun King. The origins of these ruins had only been made public within the last month. There could only be two reasons why the other side could say it. The first was that the other side had been paying attention to the ruins for a long time, and the second was that the other side had left behind eyes and ears in the Black Tower.
If it had been anyone else, Hören would have already become hostile. Whether it was paying attention to the ruins for a long time or leaving eyes and ears in the Black Tower, this was a serious provocation to the Black Tower.
But facing this young Great Mage, Hören only smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, not only did Hören not want to become hostile, but he was actually happy from the bottom of his heart.
This was the first time Hören felt that he had the upper hand in the Magic Hand's gathering.
This was like someone delivering a pillow to him when he wanted to sleep.
It could be said that this was the situation that Hören was most happy to see.
'Since you've taken a fancy to the Sun King's Ruins, then we can have a good talk.'
Sure enough, Hören soon saw a trace of imperceptible greed in that young Great Mage's eyes. "I didn't expect the Black Tower to actually discover the legendary Sun King's Ruins …"
"Haha, it seems that Great Mage Merlin is also interested in the Sun King's Ruins. How about this, when the excavation officially starts, Great Mage Merlin can come and take a look. Anyway, it's not far from Chevan City, and I can entertain Great Mage Merlin then."
"How about this, Sir Hören. I can see that you are very sincere about this Meditation Law Set, and it just so happens that I'm also very interested in the Sun King's Ruins. I feel that we can reach a deal."
'Sure enough …'
Hören inwardly laughed, but he didn't show it on his face. "That's fine, but can I ask, Great Mage Merlin, which of the Sun King's Ruins do you fancy?"
Greed once again flashed in the young Great Mage's eyes. "I want the entire Sun King's Ruins …"
"This …" Hören looked a bit awkward.
The other Archmages couldn't help holding their breaths when they heard this. 'The entire Sun King's Ruins … Isn't this appetite a bit too big?'
"Naturally, I know that this request is a bit excessive. How about this, Sir Hören? I have two Meditation Law Sets on hand, you can choose the one you want."
"This …" Hören hesitated for about three minutes before reluctantly nodding. "Okay …"
In fact, Hören was already laughing inwardly.
Others might not be clear about the current situation of the Sun King's Ruins, but how could Hören not know?
In the past three months, the Black Tower had been dismantling the traps while excavating the ruins. Now, the most precious resources, the most profound knowledge, and the most powerful equipment had all been transported back to the Black Tower.
But in order to keep it a secret, the Black Tower hadn't announced this information. Even within the Black Tower, only a few higher-ups knew about it.
The Sun King's Ruins looked untouched, but in fact, the most valuable relics had already been transported away by the Black Tower. It could be said that the famous Sun King's Ruins was now only an empty shell.
Harren had never thought that such an empty shell could be exchanged for an eight-formula Meditation Law Set. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was a good deal.
"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation." Lin Yun extended his hand with a beaming smile and gently shook Hören's hand.
At this time, Hören would never have thought that Lin Yun was also laughing uncontrollably …
Hören thought that Lin Yun didn't know that the Sun King's Ruins had already been emptied …
In fact, Lin Yun had already seen the excavation of the Black Tower in the decaying library.
This was a classic excavation that had been listed in the textbooks.
It was nothing more than a negative example …
In that crazy grave-digging era, almost every alchemist would use a kind and well-intentioned tone to admonish their disciples. "If you don't study hard now, you'll be like those idiots in the Black Tower, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and still being complacent for over a thousand years …"
That's right, this was the entire reason the Black Tower had excavated the Sun King's Ruins …
