Seeing Suyass' appearance, Fran knew that he would definitely be able to vent his anger, but he still squeezed out an anxious expression. "Suyass, don't act recklessly, that is the Star Sage, even Teacher has to give him face …"
"Hmpf, Star Sage …" Suyass coldly snorted before leaving the tent.
Once Suyass was far away, Fran revealed an imperceptible smile. 'Solomon, ah, Solomon, I'll have to let you down this time …'
To be honest, this time, Saruman was simply being shot while lying down.
Originally, Fran and Solomon didn't have any grudges, and they had always maintained a polite and cold relationship. But on the way here, Fran could clearly see that Solomon was very protective of that Mafa Merlin. The relationship between the two definitely wasn't ordinary. If he wanted to deal with Mafa Merlin, he would have to dig a hole and bury Solomon first. Otherwise, if Solomon used the Star Sage to protect Mafa Merlin, all his efforts would have been wasted.
"Mafa Merlin, you can only blame yourself …"
At this time, the conversation that had been interrupted by Suyass' arrival had already resumed. The leaders of the nine major forces of Thousand Sails City were sitting around a bonfire, chatting about today's battle. The atmosphere was harmonious and friendly.
"Who is Mafa Merlin?" But Suyass' appearance destroyed this atmosphere. This Archmage known as the Flame Demon was giving off a suffocating pressure just by standing there.
Suyass was standing next to the bonfire, using an indifferent gaze to sweep through everyone. Besides asking, "Who is Mafa Merlin?", Suyass didn't say anything else, but that suffocating pressure made everyone feel suffocated.
"You are?" Lin Yun slowly stood up, his face expressionless, but he was inwardly vigilant. Because Lin Yun could feel hostility from the mana fluctuations suppressing the camp, the hostility of an Archmage.
"I am Suyass, from the Mercury Tower."
Alarmed cries could be heard from the bonfire. Flame Demon Suyass, one of the youngest Archmages of Okland, the 3rd most powerful person of the Mercury Tower. Even in the distant Thousand Sails City, all kinds of legends about him were spreading.
"Greetings, Sir Suyass." Lin Yun wasn't affected.
"You are Mafa Merlin?" Suyass' eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Lin Yun. "I heard that you are very confident in your alchemy skills. It just so happens that I have some experience in the field of alchemy. How about we make a bet?"
"Sir Suyass, you are to joke …"
"No one is joking with you." Suyass' expression didn't change, but his words weren't polite. "I recently completed a new array. How about we use this array as a bet? I'll give you one day. If you can crack this array within one day, it'll be my loss. If not, it'll be your loss. What do you think?"
After saying that, Suyass looked at Lin Yun and casually said, "As for the wager, an arm is fine."
"…" After hearing Suyass' words, the bonfire immediately quieted down.
Although everyone had felt a kind of hostility when Suyass announced his name, and many of them had guessed that he was going to help Fran …
But no one had expected that this Archmage would be so unreasonable. He actually wanted to use an arm as a wager, and the wager was on cracking an array.
Who was Suyass? He was the disciple of the Mercury Tower Nolan. He had already entered the ranks of the peak Master Alchemists of the kingdom a few years ago. Even if the arrays he researched weren't at the True Spirit level, they were at least close to the True Spirit level. Asking a young Master Alchemist in his twenties to crack an array of that level could only be described as unreasonable.
Merlin was in his twenties. Even if he had been in contact with arrays since birth, he had only been in contact with them for twenty years. How could he compare to a peak Master Alchemist like Suyass?
This was simply intolerable!
"Sir Suyass!" Solomon was the first to stand up. "As Sir Nolan's disciple, isn't forcing a young Master Alchemist a bit too excessive?"
"Oh?" Suyass' gaze moved away from Lin Yun for the first time. He looked at Solomon with a faint smile. "You are Star Sage Joy's disciple, Solomon?"
"Whose disciple I am isn't important. Sir Suyass, what's important is that you are being unfair to Merlin."
"Fair? Haha, Solomon, you want to talk about fairness with me? "
"Sir Suyass …" Solomon was startled at first, but then, a sense of alarm rose in his heart. Just as Solomon realized that something was wrong and wanted to cast a defensive spell, it was already too late.
Just as Suyass' voice fell, a spark fell on Saruman's arm, followed by an explosion. Raging flames fiercely burst out, and it looked as if Saruman's entire arm was burning.
Saruman's reaction wasn't slow. Just as the flames sprang up, Saruman had already completed the elemental arrangement of the Frost spell. Amidst the azure mist, a layer of ice was rapidly spreading on Saruman's arm. At first, it was only a small piece, but in the blink of an eye, this small piece of ice had covered Saruman's entire arm.
Saruman's reaction was indeed very timely.
But …
Just when everyone heaved a sigh of relief, there was another "boom". The flames that had just been extinguished by the ice suddenly broke through the shackles of the ice. The dazzling flames immediately filled everyone's vision. They could only see the raging flames burning fiercely, and the thick layer of ice instantly evaporating into mist ….
This sudden change made everyone's hearts turn cold. This was the gap between a 9th Rank High Mage and an Archmage. It might seem like a fine line, but that fine line was an insurmountable moat.
As a 9th Rank High Mage, Solomon was powerless in front of an Archmage like Suyass.
"Sir Suyass, didn't you want to make a bet?" At this time, Lin Yun calmly stood up. Syudos softly coiled around Solomon's arm and the raging flames were instantly swallowed by the Upper Rank Flame Spirit.
As an Upper Rank Flame Spirit, Syudos could be said to be the purest flames in the world. Let alone Suyass, even if a true Flame Demon descended, playing with fire in front of Syudos would be like showing off one's slight skill in front of an expert.
"Not a bad Magic Tool." After making his move, Suyass no longer paid attention to Solomon. He only stared at Lin Yun. "It looks like you plan to agree?"
"Wait a moment." Lin Yun carefully helped Solomon sit down before patting his pocket and taking out an Ice Spirit Potion. This was something Lin Yun had prepared for the Demon Plane. It was specially used to deal with the Dark Flames of the Abyss. Using it to treat Solomon's burns was a bit overkill.
But he couldn't care about that at this time.
Although Solomon's help had always been somewhat utilitarian, Lin Yun knew that this was only Solomon's way of making arrangements for the Sage Tower. Moreover, this help had truly helped him. It could be said that without Solomon, Lin Yun might have been able to reach this step, but it would have been a lot more difficult.
After drinking a bottle of Ice Spirit Potion, Saruman's complexion finally looked better. The burn on his arm was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Yun carefully checked once more to make sure that Solomon's injuries weren't too bad. He slowly stood up and looked at Suyass with a strange expression for a long time before asking, "Sir Suyass, are you sure you want to use an arm as the wager?"
"What? Are you afraid? It looks like you aren't that confident in your alchemy skills. But it's too late to be afraid. Mafa Merlin, the wager is an arm. Whether you are willing or not, this wager can't be changed. "
"No …" Lin Yun helplessly shook his head. "I mean, Sir Suyass, what do you think about two arms?"
"Hmm?" Suyass was startled at first. He stared at Lin Yun for a long time before suddenly laughing. "Good, good, good, Mafa Merlin, you are really confident in your alchemy skills …"
"Haha …"
After laughing, Suyass fished out a scroll from his pocket. "I recently completed this array. I'll give you one day to crack it. If you can't crack it within a day, you'll have to leave your arms behind."
Lin Yun took the scroll and looked at it. It was indeed an array close to the True Spirit realm. Almost a third of the technique had reached the Artisan realm. If this array had been placed in front of Lin Yun a day ago, Lin Yun might have had a headache.
But it was too late now.
"One day? Haha … "Lin Yun chuckled. He spread the scroll next to the bonfire while taking out a quill from his pocket. After searching for a bit, he found out that he had already used up all of the Melting Snow Ink. He extended a hand to Suyass." Err, Sir Suyass, can I trouble you to lend me some Melting Snow Ink? "
"Take it." Suyass frowned. In the end, he took out a bottle of Melting Snow Ink from his pocket and threw it over.
Then, the entire camp quieted down. Apart from the crackling of the bonfire, only the rustling of the quill could be heard. Everyone held their breaths, afraid of disturbing that young Master Alchemist.
It was to the point that no one noticed a flame flashing in the sky.
Aside from Fran …
