"I didn't want to lower myself to his level, but the problem is that Sir Suyass wouldn't agree …" Lin Yun 'smile disappeared as he said this. He pointed at Solomon and said, "Sir Karon, that is High Mage Solomon, one of the most respected Elders of Thousand Sails City. He took care of me several times, but in order to stop this bet, he ended up having his arm burned by Sir Suyass."
"This …" Hearing this, Karon knew that he had underestimated the seriousness of the matter. At first, Karon thought that Suyass had only said some unpleasant words to infuriate that young Great Mage, but he hadn't expected that Suyass would actually make a move. Moreover, his target was Star Sage Jouyi's disciple, Solomon.
'This is truly a big deal …'
As he thought of this, Karon felt a bit troubled. Karon knew a bit about Mafa Merlin and Solomon's friendship. In fact, Mafa Merlin had joined the research of the Fanrusen Formula because of Solomon's recommendation. Suyass was really something, he could have made a move on anyone, but he had to make a move on Solomon.
Not to mention Star Sage Joy … '
'Mafa Merlin definitely won't let you off now.'
'What should I do?'
"Merlin, I will personally apologize to Sir Joy. Can you give me some face and let this matter go?"
"Sir Karon, it is a bit late …" But this time, Lin Yun shook his head and unfurled the scroll once again. The quill in his hand was dipped in some Melting Snow Ink, and it looked like he was about to write again.
"Don't, don't, Merlin, let's talk, don't … Don't be like this …" Karon was startled. This wasn't a joke. If the Tenebrous Field was broken, Suyass' arms would be gone.
If it had been anyone else, Karon might have gambled that the other side wouldn't be able to break the Tenebrous Field.
But Karon truly didn't dare to gamble against this young Great Mage.
Originally, Karon had personally seen that young Great Mage crack a dozen core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula in one night. That kind of abnormal computing ability made the entire research team sigh in admiration. Although the Tenebrous Field was close to the True Spirit rank, it was still mainly based on calculations. In front of such frightening computing ability, it simply couldn't withstand the test.
'Moreover, that idiot Suyass …
And you're even giving him a day's time? Are you kidding me? With a day's time, he can even crack a dozen core spell matrices of the Fanrusen Formula. You're just a trifling Tenebrous Field, yet you're giving him a day's time? Do you think you're Osul or Teacher Nolan?
"Merlin, can you give me some face? Suyass is Teacher's youngest disciple, and I've always treated him as my younger brother. If you were in my position, you wouldn't watch your younger brother lose his arms, would you? I'm begging you, don't lower yourself to his level … '
"Sigh …" Seeing Karon's anxious expression, Lin Yun couldn't help sighing. This most outstanding disciple of the Mercury Tower was truly as the rumors said, he was very considerate of Nolan's disciples.
As for Nolan …
At the Magic Hand's gathering, Nolan had indeed done him a favor, and that favor had been very expensive. If Nolan hadn't made a move, the transaction for the 3rd Meditation Law Set would have been under fifty spirit mana crystals.
It was because of Nolan's help that the price was pushed to sixty spirit mana crystals. That favor was worth at least ten spirit mana crystals, enough to buy the entire Gilded Rose.
Seeing Lin Yun's expression soften, Karon hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Merlin, how about this? I'll make Suyass apologize to Solomon, and after returning, I'll tell Teacher about this matter and have Teacher teach him a lesson. Give me some face and let it go …"
"Let him apologize." Lin Yun couldn't keep insisting since Karon had already reached this point. After thinking about it, he rolled up the scroll and handed it back to Karon.
"Okay, of course, of course …" Karon accepted the scroll as if relieved of a heavy burden and quickly walked over to Suyass.
"Suyass, the matter between you and Merlin ends here. Don't mention it to anyone in the future. Now, go apologize to High Mage Solomon. Really, High Mage Solomon is Sir Joy's disciple. Aren't you afraid of Teacher peeling off a layer of your skin for making a move against him?" Although the matter had been settled, Karon couldn't help criticizing Suyass.
Suyass wasn't surprised at all.
In fact, as soon as Karon appeared, Suyass already knew that this bet would come to an end. Karon had always been like this, too kind and too gentle. In the past, when he represented the Mercury Tower in negotiations, who knew how many times he had suffered because of this kind of character, causing the Mercury Tower to lose a lot of benefits.
Just like this time …
Mafa Merlin had definitely taken advantage of Karon's temperament. Suyass didn't know what flowery words he used to persuade Karon to step forward and stop the bet. Karon was really something, believing whatever others said. That Mafa Merlin even dared to slander the Mercury Tower's alchemy standards, yet Karon was actually willing to help him …
'But forget it, since Karon said he wanted to stop the bet, then let's stop it. He's only a young Great Mage, it's not a big deal to let him keep his arms. I only hope that he will learn a lesson this time so that he won't talk nonsense again.'
As he thought of this, Suyass nodded and took the scroll. But before apologizing to Solomon, he threw a disdainful glance at Lin Yun. "Mafa Merlin, it looks like you aren't as confident in your alchemy skills as you seem. I'll let it go this time, but I hope that after this lesson, you'll be able to control your mouth …"
"Slap!"
Suyass didn't have time to finish his sentence before Karon slapped him.
Only a crisp sound could be heard as the entire camp quieted down.
"Karon?" Suyass covered his swollen cheek. When he looked at Karon, his eyes were filled with a bewildered expression.
Suyass was directly stunned by this slap …
This Archmage with the title of Flame Demon never expected that Karon would actually slap him. After all, after Suyass became Nolan's disciple, Karon had always been the one taking care of everyone. He had been doing his utmost, and to Suyass, Karon was like an elder brother.
Moreover, Karon's temperament had always been very good. He was famous for being a nice guy in Okland, and he had never said anything harsh to Nolan's fellow apprentices.
Suyass clearly remembered that when he was still a High Mage, he had made a mistake in the Golden Forest Plane, which led to the annihilation of several thousand puppets. The Underground Elves launched a counterattack and almost made the Mercury Tower lose the entire Golden Forest Plane. At that time, Karon only smiled and said that it was nothing, but he never mentioned it again.
Fortunately, the Golden Forest Plane was saved in the end.
But it wasn't until three years later that Suyass learned that the reason the Golden Forest Plane was saved was because Karon had sneaked into the ground and assassinated three important figures of the Underground Elves, temporarily resolving the Golden Forest Plane's crisis. For this, Karon had paid the price of being seriously injured for three years, and it wasn't until three years later that Karon recovered that he told his teacher Nolan the truth.
At that time, when he lowered his head and apologized to Karon, Karon only smiled and shook his head, saying that it was nothing.
But now, after the slap, Karon was so angry that he turned pale. "Suyass, do you want to anger me to death?!"
"I … I …" This was the first time Suyass had seen Karon so angry. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and he was so flustered that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"Immediately apologize to High Mage Solomon!" Karon almost had a heart attack. 'Suyass, oh Suyass, how could you be so reckless? I finally managed to save both of your arms, but you still want to provoke others, and you want others to control their mouths? You should first control your own mouth before you say anything else!
Fortunately, Suyass became well-behaved after that slap.
Under Karon's supervision, he sincerely apologized to Saruman.
Needless to say, his attitude was very sincere.
"High Mage Solomon, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Suyass bowed before taking out two Spring Rain Potions from his pocket. They were specialized in healing all kinds of burns, and each bottle was worth over a hundred thousand golds.
Just as everyone thought that the apology was over, Suyass chanted an incantation and a Flame Burst heavily hit his arm.
Only a cracking sound could be heard as Suyass' arm broke on the spot. His face instantly turned pale as beads of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.
Suyass endured the pain and let the flames of the Flame Burst burn on his fractured arm for an entire minute. In the end, even Solomon couldn't bear to watch and repeatedly urged Suyass to extinguish the flames on his arm.
The farce had finally come to an end.
That night, Karon stayed in the camp. Suyass shared a tent with him, and the two didn't speak. This strange silence lasted until midnight, when Karon's sigh broke the silence.
"Suyass, don't you think I was a bit excessive?"
