"I heard that Teacher sold a favor to Mafa Merlin at the Magic Hand's gathering, it was worth ten spirit mana crystals!"
"Fortunately, I only burned him …" Suyass couldn't help shrinking his neck when he heard this. It was fortunate that he hadn't attacked Mafa Merlin, or else the matter wouldn't have been resolved with just an apology. He had wasted a favor worth ten spirit mana crystals, Teacher would have strangled him to death.
"Haha …" Karon chuckled and didn't say anything else.
Karon originally wanted to say that Lin Yun might not necessarily be able to burn Mafa Merlin.
Karon more or less knew about that young Great Mage's strength. When Hoen of the Cloud Tower went to Thousand Sails City and fought with Mafa Merlin in the Gilded Rose, Star Sage Joy personally judged that Mafa Merlin had the strength to perish together with Hoen. At that time, Mafa Merlin was only a 5th Rank Great Mage.
Now, Mafa Merlin was already one step into the High Mage realm, his strength had increased by more than ten times. If he really fought with Suyass, the outcome would be hard to say.
But after thinking about it, Suyass seemed to have suffered too many blows that night, so he swallowed his words.
Afterwards, the two chatted about the situation in the Golden Forest Plane before going to bed in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Karon left the joint exploration team's camp. The situation in the Golden Forest Plane was fierce, and although Grant was overseeing it, he was far inferior to Karon in terms of strength and prestige. He could deal with it for a short time, but he didn't have the ability to manage the situation for a long time.
But before leaving, Karon was still a bit worried, so he warned Suyass to restrain his character.
Suyass also agreed.
From this, it could be seen that Suyass was just too direct, he wasn't as narrow-minded as Fran.
Speaking of Fran …
Fran didn't sleep well the whole night.
At first, Fran had been hiding in the tent to watch the fun. He had seen Suyass burn one of Solomon's arms and force Mafa Merlin to crack the Tenebrous Field. Fran had been in a very good mood, everything was going according to his plan.
Fran had even thought that Mafa Merlin wouldn't be able to crack the Tenebrous Field and both of his arms would be crippled by Suyass. Then, the joint exploration team would have no choice but to beg him and Suyass to crack the array of the Vaughn Treasury.
With Suyass' temperament, he would definitely disdain haggling. At this time, it was natural for him to stand up. 'What does half of the harvest count for? I'll raise the price by 20% this time. What? You won't agree?' 'That's good, I'll take Suyass and leave. Let's see who gets to crack the array of the Vaughn Treasury …'
Who knew that Karon would actually come at this time …
Moreover, he couldn't understand what was going on. 'What's going on? Why does it look like Karon and Mafa Merlin know each other? Why did Karon apologize to Mafa Merlin? Why did Karon slap Mafa Merlin? This, this, this … Why is this completely different from what I imagined?'
These questions had troubled Fran for the entire night. As long as he closed his eyes, all kinds of questions would appear in his mind. Fran originally wanted to find an opportunity to indirectly ask Karon what he had said to Suyass last night, but he didn't get the opportunity as Karon directly left.
What should he do?
Should I ask Suyass?
At first, Fran still had some hope. After all, he and Suyass were both from the Mercury Tower, so they could be considered true people in the joint exploration team. Even if Suyass was dissatisfied with him, he wouldn't show it in front of outsiders.
But Fran hadn't expected it.
Not only did Suyass show it, but he was even more intense than usual. After the two saw Karon off, Fran wanted to ask a few questions, but he heard Suyass' cold snort. "Fran, you'd better behave!"
Fran was so scared that he ran away.
That afternoon, the joint exploration team started sweeping the Four Seasons Canyon.
This was a decision made by the leaders of the nine major forces after losing a dozen scouts. They couldn't do anything about it, there was no trace of the Vaughn Treasury. The joint exploration team sent several batches of scouts, but they didn't find the Vaughn Treasury. Instead, they lost a dozen scouts in the forest.
"Then we'll dig three feet underground!" Solomon, who had just recovered from his burns, was very murderous.
Although the Four Seasons Canyon had already shaken off the influence of the Ancient Tree and all kinds of magic beasts weren't as fierce as before, this was still a difficult battle for the joint exploration team.
Under Sasu's command, the team of several hundred people started slowly advancing into the depths of the Four Seasons Canyon. In one day, a dozen battles took place, with the largest one taking place next to the only river in the Four Seasons Canyon. When the joint exploration team advanced there, they encountered a group of over a hundred Thunder Elephants.
This battle even alarmed Suyass. This Archmage with the title of Flame Demon showed everyone his frightening magic power in this battle. Suyass remained floating in the sky for an entire hour, casting a large number of fire spells that made the entire river boil. When they finally cleaned up the battlefield, everyone was shocked to discover that at least half of the Thunder Elephants had died to Suyass' flames.
On the contrary, Lin Yun didn't make a move.
Lin Yun stayed in his tent, concentrating on digesting his harvest.
Successfully cracking a True Spirit Array was a rare opportunity for any Master Alchemist. The harvest was too great, and Lin Yun spent all his time digesting his harvest. After a few days, Lin Yun's mastery of arrays had increased by leaps and bounds. Compared to when he had just entered the Four Seasons Canyon, he was on a whole new level.
As for the battle outside, Lin Yun wasn't too worried, because Lin Yun had already experienced the most powerful beast tide in the Four Seasons Canyon. The power that caused that beast tide had been cracked by Lin Yun. Although the battle outside was fierce, it wasn't enough to put the joint exploration team in danger.
And with the addition of Suyass, a genuine Archmage, the joint exploration team's power greatly increased. It could be said that as long as Suyass was willing to go all out, the joint exploration team could easily crush the entire Four Seasons Canyon.
Because of this, Lin Yun could stay in his tent with a clear conscience and concentrate on digesting his harvest.
But Lin Yun sent Xiuban.
Xiuban had just formed his first Dragon Blood Magic Pattern, and his power was starting to awaken. What Xiuban needed the most now was a lot of fierce battles.
The 2nd day, the 3rd day, the 4th day …
The calendar kept flipping, and a week had already passed since the joint exploration team entered the Four Seasons Canyon.
During this week, it wasn't just Lin Yun's mastery of arrays that had increased by leaps and bounds. Xiuban's strength was also increasing by the day. Last night, Xiuban followed the joint exploration team and annihilated a few dozen Shadow Wolves, finally entering the ranks of Expert Swordsmen. Moreover, his Dragon Blood Magic Pattern had reached four!
An Expert Swordsman's close combat ability could be considered top-notch in the entire joint exploration team, and with the addition of his four Dragon Blood Magic Patterns, Xiuban's current fighting strength was a few times higher than before.
Now, Xiuban's fighting strength completely suppressed William Merlin, to the point that William Merlin complained a few times, saying that he had been born in the wrong race. He diligently meditated and studied every day, but in the end, he was still inferior to a Highland Beastman that slept all day …
"Properly study the Crimson Heart, this is your foundation …" Lin Yun simply ignored William Merlin's complaints.
'That guy is just eating from a bowl while looking at the pot. He only spent a few months to go from a 5th Rank Great Mage to a 9th Rank Great Mage, and he's about to become a High Mage. What is there to be dissatisfied with?'
If he was dissatisfied, it was only when compared to Xiuban.
The problem was that Xiuban's growth speed simply couldn't be compared. When a Draconic Beastman just awakened, his growth speed was the most shocking. Let alone William Merlin, no other genius could compare. This was the advantage of his race and bloodline.
A week quickly passed, and the joint exploration team had already swept through more than half of the Four Seasons Canyon. From the east to the west, they had eliminated several thousand magic beasts. Fortunately, the Silver Moon Mercenaries and the Flash Arrow Mercenaries were experts in handling magic beasts' corpses. They specially dispatched a team to deal with the magic beasts' corpses, and after a week, all kinds of mana crystals and materials piled up in the camp like a small mountain.
But Vaughn's treasury was nowhere to be seen.
Up until one afternoon …
As usual, Lin Yun sent the Draconic Beastman out to gain experience while he studied the array in his tent. Just as he was calculating some key data, footsteps could be heard from outside the tent.
"Merlin, hurry up and follow me, we found Vaughn's treasury …" Solomon entered the tent and dragged Lin Yun away.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Yun promptly put down the quill in his hand and followed Solomon. They quickly reached the vicinity of a forest.
There had clearly been an intense battle in the vicinity. Magic beast corpses were strewn all over the place, blood was slowly flowing along the soil, and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood. But at this time, no one cared about that, as the team of several hundred people was working hard to dig under Sasu's command.
"Sir Suyass found some clues here. After discussing it, we felt that Vaughn's treasury might very well be under this land …" Solomon pointed at the pit in the distance while whispering a few words to Lin Yun.
