"Well, Fran has already gone so far, why aren't you worried? Hurry up and chase after him …" After looking for a while, Saruman couldn't even be seen. Saruman was even more worried than Lin Yun and urged him a few times on the way.
"Chase? He can't fly …" Lin Yun wasn't worried at all. He only followed Fran at a moderate pace, using the wisps of mana fluctuations to track him.
In fact, if Saruman hadn't been so anxious, Lin Yun wouldn't have needed to track the mana fluctuations, because Lin Yun already knew where Fran was going.
There wasn't much information related to the Four Seasons Canyon in the library of 30,000 years in the future. Lin Yun was as unfamiliar with this place as Suyass and the others.
But it was different after entering the stone tower.
Especially after entering the 3rd Floor, Lin Yun recalled that he had indeed read some information about the construction of the stone tower. That information mentioned that Vaughn had placed a set of Spiritual Magic Tools in a huge alchemy workshop to keep the workshop running. That set of Spiritual Magic Tools was the famous Crystal Scales.
A huge Magic Iron Forge, an ant-like workshop, crisscrossing assembly lines … Lin Yun believed that there wasn't a larger alchemy workshop than this one. Even if Lin Yun was a fool, he would still be able to guess that the alchemy workshop on the 3rd Floor was definitely the one mentioned in the information.
Moreover, Lin Yun clearly remembered that the information had come from the Mercury Tower.
Fran claimed to be dizzy at this time …
Things had already reached this stage. If Lin Yun still didn't know what Fran wanted to do, he might as well find a hard piece of tofu and kill himself.
After following him, he discovered that the dizzy Fran wasn't looking for a place to rest. Instead, he was sneakily moving towards the center of the Magic Iron Forge.
The crystal sky mentioned in the information was placed in the center of the Magic Iron Furnace.
At this time, Lin Yun no longer needed to continue tracking. Lin Yun had already guessed what Fran wanted to do, what he could do, and even what he would do.
Ten minutes later, Fran walked to the center of the Magic Iron Furnace. After looking around to make sure no one was following him, he took out a crumpled parchment from his pocket and started to chant the incantation on the parchment …
Along with Fran's incantation, a wisp of white smoke gradually emerged from under his feet. At first, it was only faintly discernible, but it quickly became thicker and thicker before finally condensing into an old face in front of Fran.
"Human, are you calling me?"
"You … You are Sir Griffin?" Fran was clearly startled, and he subconsciously took a few steps back before asking with a pale face, "The Incarnation of the Crystal Scales?"
"I didn't expect that someone would still remember my name after so many years. That's right, I am Griffin, the Incarnation of the Crystal Scales. Human, why did you wake me up from my slumber?"
"That's great, Sir Griffin. My name is Fran, I'm a Master Alchemist from the Mercury Tower. I learned of your existence from ancient documents, and I came here with sincerity and humility, hoping to obtain your power. Right, I know that you need a lot of mana to regain your freedom, so I brought you a lot of mana crystals. As long as you agree, I'll immediately use these mana crystals to help you regain your freedom!"
"Oh?" The old face condensed from the smoke suddenly laughed. "Human, you want me to work for you?"
"Yes … Yes!" Fran took a step back before plucking up his courage and taking out a bag from his pocket. He opened the bag, and it was filled with sparkling mana crystals. The lowest was level 10, while the highest was level 20. "As long as you agree, these mana crystals will be yours!"
"Haha, Human, what did you say your name was?"
"My name is Fran."
"Very good, Fran, you want me to work for you? This is not a problem …"
"Sir Griffin, you agree?" Fran's gaze suddenly became fervent.
"Let me see …" A wisp of smoke suddenly coiled around Fran's body before merging back into that old face. "Not bad, 5th Rank High Mage, and your Magic Conducting Rune is Time Hand. This kind of strength is barely worthy of me working for you. But Fran, if you want me to work for you, you will have to pay the price …"
"Of course, of course, Sir Griffin, I am willing to pay the price!" Hearing this, Fran's eyes shone. He didn't even ask what the price was and directly nodded in agreement.
This was the Crystal Scales …
The Crystal Scales that even his teacher Nolan was full of praises for. It was said that it was a set made of three peak Spiritual Magic Tools. If he grasped this set, he would immediately have the power of an Archmage, and his alchemy skills would even reach the Artisan realm. At that time, his strength would even be on par with his teacher Nolan. What Karon, what Suyass? They would all have to look up to him.
As for that insignificant Mafa Merlin …
He would be able to crush him with a single finger!
"That's good, Human, sign this contract and I will work for you." The old face condensed from smoke chanted an incantation, and within the hazy smoke, a contract filled with Nesser Runes condensed.
"Contract?" Fran was startled. He took that contract filled with Nesser Runes and carefully looked at it before relaxing a bit.
This contract wasn't too harsh …
Generally speaking, it was to maintain equality between the two sides of the contract. Although he could borrow the power of the Crystal Scales, he couldn't restrict the other side too much. Naturally, the other side would also provide him with power when he needed it, while also receiving a certain amount of mana crystals in exchange.
To put it simply, this was a contract of equality.
An exchange of power and mana crystals.
"What, you don't want to?"
"No, no …" Fran was already muddle-headed from the power he was about to obtain, and being urged by the Crystal Scales made him even more flustered. In his panic, he didn't care about equality or exchange. He only hesitated for a bit before clenching his teeth and making a decision. "I'm willing, I'm willing, I'll sign it!"
After saying that, Fran bit his index finger and signed his name on the contract with his blood.
Almost as soon as the contract was completed, the old face that was condensed from smoke turned into a wisp of smoke with a "boom", instantly disappearing into the contract …
"Sir Griffin?" Fran was startled. Before he could recover, he saw a magic staff and two rings emerging from the hazy smoke.
"These … These are the Crystal Scales?" The powerful mana fluctuations emitted by the magic staff and the rings stunned Fran. After no less than a minute, Fran extended his hand and softly touched the magic staff floating in front of him.
Then, Fran felt a surge of power surging into his body. Moreover, this power seemed fierce, but it didn't make him feel uncomfortable as it flowed into his body. It was as if this power belonged to him. That unprecedented feeling of power made Fran uncontrollably grab the magic staff and put the two rings on his ring fingers.
"Sure enough, it is the power of an Archmage …" Fran tightly held his crystal staff with both hands, unprecedented confidence visible in his eyes. That was the kind of confidence that came from being extremely powerful and that he could sweep away all his opponents.
At this moment, Fran believed that he had truly been reborn.
With the Crystal Scales, even if he fought Karon head-on, it would be hard to say who would win. As for Suyass, who usually berated him, he only needed to use 70% of his power to easily defeat him.
This feeling was too good …
Fran stood in the hazy smoke and carefully examined the Crystal Scales on his body, feeling the surging power surging within his body. After a long time, he finally let out a pleased laugh.
"Mafa Merlin, just you wait …"
Fran was completely immersed in the pleasure of his sudden increase in power. He didn't notice that his every move was being watched by Lin Yun and Solomon.
"Merlin, aren't you going to make a move?" Solomon was burning with impatience. He had seen Fran's Spiritual Suit in his hands and his mana fluctuations rising to the level of an Archmage. Moreover, he seemed even more powerful than Suyass. Thinking that this salted fish was about to make a comeback, Solomon couldn't help urging Lin Yun.
"When did I say I was going to make a move?" Lin Yun looked at Solomon in bewilderment before casting a Haste spell on himself. "I don't even have time to thank Fran. Let's go, let's go, we have more important things to do …"
"Ah?" Solomon's jaw almost fell to the ground. He stared at Lin Yun for a long time before stuttering, "Y-y-you … You followed Fran for so long in order to see him obtain the Crystal Scales?"
"Nonsense, if he didn't take the Crystal Scales away, how could I dare to look for what I want? Do you think that old geezer Crystal Scales is really slumbering? I'm telling you, that old geezer is fishing for a stupid fish like Fran. Just watch, Fran will cry … "
