The battle in the Golden Forest Plane had already reached a critical juncture. The Underground Elves' rebellion had already been suppressed, and just as Karon was about to lead the Mercury Tower's puppet army to sweep away the tumor that had plagued the Golden Forest Plane for hundreds of years, the Mercury Tower sent Grant to take over his mission and had him go to the Four Seasons Canyon to look after Suyass.
Karon suddenly felt strange. Suyass was a peak Master Alchemist and a newly advanced Archmage. He had been doing very well in the Golden Forest Plane for the past few years, and he had returned unscathed after entering the Bloody Plane three times. He was so powerful that he could be ranked in the top three of the Mercury Tower.
He was only going to the Four Seasons Canyon once to help a joint exploration team from Thousand Sails City explore some ruins that might have been left behind by Vaughn, so why was Teacher so nervous?
After asking, he found out that Mafa Merlin was also in that joint exploration team.
Karon then understood that Suyass was too domineering. Once he joined that joint exploration team, he absolutely wouldn't allow any dissent.
Originally, this wasn't a big deal.
Suyass was a peak Master Alchemist and an Archmage. Asking for absolute authority in a joint exploration team made up of High Mages, Expert Swordsmen, and Spirit Archers was a very reasonable request.
The problem was that Mafa Merlin was also there.
Others might not know much about that young Great Mage, but Karon, who had worked with Mafa Merlin in the Fanrusen Formula's research team, clearly knew that this young Great Mage wasn't easy to talk to. It would be strange if there wasn't a conflict between the two with Suyass' overbearing nature.
Moreover, Mafa Merlin wasn't an ordinary Great Mage. He truly had the ability to make Suyass suffer.
Just look at Hogg. He was a 9th Rank High Mage, an authority in data calculations, but because of a core spell matrix of the Fanrusen Formula, he was slapped in the face by Mafa Merlin and was almost kicked out of the Cloud Tower by Joy.
Moreover, Mafa Merlin wasn't the old Mafa Merlin. At the recent Magic Hand gathering, Mafa Merlin stole the limelight. His three Meditation Law Sets caused a huge sensation. Who knew how many peak powerhouses wanted to have a good relationship with him, including his teacher Nolan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly called him back from the Golden Forest Plane.
If a conflict were to break out, it would be hard to say who would be at a disadvantage.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Karon immediately became worried. After leaving the Mercury Tower, he had been traveling day and night, not even having time to drink water on the way. He finally arrived at the Four Seasons Canyon with Suyass in tow.
Karon had just landed when he saw Suyass next to a bonfire, as well as Lin Yun, who was immersed in writing.
Karon's appearance alarmed many people. He was the number two person of the Mercury Tower, only below Nolan in terms of strength and status. Moreover, the Mercury Tower had a transcendent status in Okland. Many people hurriedly came to greet him. Even Suyass and Lin Yun temporarily stopped their bet to greet Karon.
"Karon, how come you are here?" Suyass smiled when he saw Karon.
Moreover, this kind of smile was completely different from before.
Before, whether it was in front of Fran or Lin Yun, Suyass' smile always gave people a sinister feeling. But now, Suyass' smile came from the bottom of his heart as he stood in front of Karon.
Suyass might have a domineering personality, but in the Mercury Tower, Karon was the true pride of the heavens. He had become a Master Alchemist in his twenties, and he was only in his fifties, but he was already half a step into the Artisan realm. His magic was even more brilliant. He had become an Archmage at the age of 45, and it had already been ten years since then. His strength could only be described as unfathomable.
Even Suyass had no choice but to admit that Karon's realm was a whole realm higher than theirs. He was already qualified to stand with Nolan, Joy, Hören, and the other peak powerhouses of the kingdom.
Moreover, Karon took good care of his fellow apprentices. Ever since Suyass became Nolan's disciple and became a peak Master Alchemist a few decades ago, he was already used to Karon taking care of everything. If there was any trouble, he would look for Karon to solve it. After so many years, Karon's prestige in the Mercury Tower was already comparable to Nolan's.
Suyass could be considered to think highly of himself. He even dared to snort at Star Sage Jouyi, but Suyass was sincerely convinced by Karon.
It could be said that in Suyass' heart, Karon was both an elder brother and a teacher.
"Teacher told me to come and take a look …" After Karon hurriedly said this, he went to greet Lin Yun. "Merlin, what a coincidence, you are also here."
"Haha, yes, what a coincidence, Sir Karon."
Lin Yun had a very good impression of Karon. Back when he was in the Fanrusen Formula's research team, this Sir Karon had been in charge of the alchemy module by himself. The abilities he displayed made Lin Yun admire him a lot. Moreover, after meeting him a few times, the two got along very well. Lin Yun originally wanted to pay a visit to the Mercury Tower after going to Okland.
But he hadn't expected to meet him in the Four Seasons Canyon, and under such circumstances.
"Merlin, long time no see, how have you been recently? It's been a long time since I've seen you participate in similar research after the conclusion of the Fanrusen Formula. Oh, that's right, I heard from my teacher a few days ago that you were in the limelight in Oddrock City. Your Meditation Law Set almost made Sir Mogg go bankrupt. Haha, that's really a big deal … "
"Haha, Sir Karon must be joking. I casually took out those three Meditation Law Sets. I hadn't expected someone to need them, so I might as well exchange them for mana crystals …"
"Sir Mogg is sitting on Whistle Island, and his annual income is equivalent to two planes of the Mercury Tower. You shouldn't be polite with such a rich person …"
As the two warmly greeted each other, the leaders of the major forces of Thousand Sails City looked as if they were listening to a heavenly book.
'This … What's going on? Why does Great Mage Merlin look so familiar with Sir Karon? Moreover, they are talking about the Fanrusen Formula and Sir Mogg … Hold on, Sir Mogg, Whistle Island, could it be the master of Whistle Island, Hurricane Envoy Mogg?
'No way …'
At this time, many people looked at Lin Yun with strange expressions. Who in the entire Andalusia hadn't heard of the Hurricane Envoy's prestige? Although he was only a 5th Rank Archmage and couldn't be considered a peak powerhouse of the kingdom, he was sitting on the incomparably fertile Whistle Island. The wealth in his hands was comparable to that of the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower. Such a person almost went bankrupt at the hands of Great Mage Merlin.
'Then wouldn't Great Mage Merlin be …'
"Eh? Merlin, are you cracking the array?" Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Karon glanced at that unfurled scroll.
'Hold on …'
Karon only glanced at it casually before his expression suddenly changed. Karon recognized that scroll. The array drawn on it had been recently completed by Suyass.
Suyass had named this array Tenebrous Field. He had obtained the idea from Vaughn's notes, and he and his teacher had improved it before finally completing this Tenebrous Field. But now, this Tenebrous Field had already been unfurled, and a large number of lines had been drawn on it with Melting Snow Ink.
The thing that he and his teacher were most worried about had happened …
"Right, I just made a bet with Sir Suyass. We were betting whether I could crack this array within a day."
'Sure enough …'
Hearing this, Karon immediately understood. Suyass was too domineering, and sure enough, he clashed with that young Great Mage. He was now using this kind of method to fight for the right to speak. 'I hope … I hope the stakes aren't too high …'
"Turns out it was a bet. I say, Merlin, even Sir Osul was full of praise for you in the field of arrays. You have to give in to Suyass, don't bet too high …" Karon's smile was warm and casual, but his nerves were already stretched taut. He kept inwardly repeating, 'Don't bet too high, don't bet too high …'
"It's only two arms …" Lin Yun casually smiled.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it's only two arms …" Karon didn't react at first, looking relieved. But then, he suddenly realized that this young Great Mage was talking about two arms. Karon's face paled as he looked at Lin Yun in disbelief. "Two … Two arms?"
After saying this, Karon felt his vision darken. 'How could it be so high? It's only two arms!'
"Right, Sir Suyass proposed to bet one arm at first, and he even used High Mage Solomon to give me a demonstration. I thought about it and felt that one arm wasn't enough, so I suggested two arms instead."
"Merlin, listen to me, listen to me …" Karon almost went crazy on the spot. He didn't care about the many onlookers and dragged Lin Yun to the side. "Suyass is still young, don't lower yourself to his level. Can't you let him win this once?"
"Suyass is still young?" Lin Yun glanced at Suyass from a distance. 'He's at least 45 years old, how can that be considered young?'
"Eh …" Karon also realized that he had said something wrong. In terms of age, Suyass was twice as old as this Great Mage, but the problem was that age didn't guarantee victory in the field of alchemy. "I mean, Suyass's brain hasn't been good since he was a child, can you not lower yourself to his level?"
