It was all because of Merlin.
Who in the joint exploration team didn't know that the one who made the biggest contribution wasn't the Archmage Suyass, nor was it the organizer of the joint exploration team, Lys. The one who made the biggest contribution was the young Great Mage who only brought two subordinates to join the joint exploration team and had the right to choose the magic materials first.
To be honest, it wasn't just Fran who objected at the start, even the other forces of Thousand Sails City didn't approve of it. But the Gilded Rose was the most powerful force in Thousand Sails City, and they couldn't afford to offend that young Great Mage. Even if they objected, they could only agree. At most, they would console themselves that losing a bit here would improve their relationship with the Gilded Rose.
But as the joint exploration team went deeper and deeper, everyone suddenly understood that the right to choose the magic materials wasn't unjust.
The young Great Mage had really saved the joint exploration team several times. From the beast tide at the beginning to the siege of the Thunderbirds at the end, if it weren't for the young Great Mage, the joint exploration team would have been annihilated.
At this time, everyone's attitude gradually changed. From swallowing their anger at the start, they were now sincerely convinced. Otherwise, how could there be so many people standing on Lin Yun's side when Fran wanted to use his Archmage strength to snatch the right to choose the magic materials?
It was also because of this that William Merlin and Xiuban, the two malignant tumors of the team, were repeatedly tolerated by everyone. Otherwise, they would have already been kicked out of the joint exploration team.
But this time, no one had expected …
The first to stand out at this time was actually William Merlin.
At this time, everyone's gazes fell on William Merlin's face. They all wanted to see if he was really that cunning malignant tumor.
This didn't make sense …
Merlin had already made it very clear that this journey across the entire plane would be extremely dangerous. Even an Archmage might fall in an instant. He even suggested that apart from the Beastman Xiuban, it would be best for everyone else to not go.
Normally, with William Merlin's cunning nature, he should be looking forward to this.
Did he take the wrong medicine?
Are you even listening to what your cousin is saying …?
"Cousin, I'll go with you." However, this time, William Merlin's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. When he stood out from the crowd, his gaze was unusually firm.
"You better think about it. It's really dangerous this time. I really can't guarantee your safety …"
"I've thought it through." Lin Yun's persuasion didn't shake William Merlin's resolve. This Young Great Mage who liked to play tricks was actually determined to follow Lin Yun across the Heaven Enlightening Plane.
This time, even Lin Yun couldn't help but be surprised …
He stared at William Merlin for a long time before shaking his head helplessly. "Alright, be careful."
"I will." William Merlin's expression was unusually calm.
In the entire joint exploration team, only William Merlin himself knew why he was taking such a risk this time.
In fact, if it had been a few minutes ago, William Merlin wouldn't have made this choice.
The risks of this mysterious plane were really too great. People could lose their lives at any time. William Merlin couldn't even hide from this kind of thing, so how could he be stupid enough to go there?
But it was different now.
Because William Merlin already understood that the luckiest thing that had happened in his life was coming to Thousand Sails City and meeting this long-lost cousin.
In a short few months, he had already become a 9th Rank Great Mage, only one step away from the High Mage realm he had always yearned for.
This was like a dream to William Merlin.
No, no, no, this was even more outrageous than a dream.
In the past, even in his dreams, he would only dare to dream about becoming a High Mage before the age of forty.
But now, he was still a long way from forty, yet he was already on the verge of entering the High Mage realm. And all of this was brought about by this long-lost cousin of his.
Naturally, there was also the Crimson Heart.
The shock the Crimson Heart brought to William Merlin was too great.
The number one Meditation Law Set in the kingdom, according to Solomon, was only used as a foundation by his cousin. This was too frightening.
William Merlin felt scared just thinking about it.
If the Crimson Heart was only used as a foundation, then how abnormal would the core Meditation Law Set his cousin would give him be in the future?
It was this Crimson Heart that made William Merlin realize that the most important thing in his life was to follow in his cousin's footsteps.
No matter where he went, no matter what he wanted to do, he only needed to follow behind him.
Even if it was crossing a mysterious plane full of unknown dangers …
These were William Merlin's true thoughts.
Naturally, Lin Yun didn't know about these thoughts.
After agreeing to William Merlin's participation, Lin Yun's gaze swept through everyone. At this time, everyone had already made up their minds and the dozen people split into two factions.
"We will also go." To Lin Yun's surprise, Fran and Suyass were the ones to sign up after William Merlin. But Fran had already lost the right to voice his opinion, so only Suyass could make the decision.
"Oh?"
"Merlin, I know that Fran was in the wrong this time. After returning, I'll tell Teacher about this. Teacher will naturally punish him. I only hope that this matter won't affect your relationship with the Mercury Tower. In order to express our sincerity, we will cross this mysterious plane with you. We will give up any harvest we obtain on the way and give it all to the Gilded Rose."
While Suyass was saying this, Fran opened his mouth as if he didn't agree with Suyass' opinion. But this time, Suyass wasn't as polite as before and directly turned around to glare at him. Fran, who had just opened his mouth, immediately stopped.
"Haha …" Lin Yun chuckled, "Fran is Fran, and the Mercury Tower is the Mercury Tower. I can clearly distinguish between them."
"Thank you." Hearing this, Suyass sighed in relief. Although the young Great Mage didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear. This was enough for Suyass.
After Suyass and Fran, it was Solomon and Lys.
These two were Lin Yun's staunchest supporters. Seeing that Suyass and Fran had already expressed their stance, the two naturally didn't want to fall behind.
But apart from the two of them, no one else in the joint exploration team was willing to say anything.
Nothing could be done about it, the power of this mysterious plane truly exceeded everyone's imagination. Once they entered, they, who were at most High Mages, would be no different from ants. The slightest disturbance could turn them to ashes.
It wouldn't have mattered if it were an ordinary person, but the people present were all from influential families. They had hundreds or even thousands of subordinates. Their influence was great, and their worries were also great. For a while, there were really not many people who dared to follow the young Great Mage and risk their lives like the ones in front of them.
"Alright, everyone, let's split up here. I just repositioned the Planar Path. As long as everyone follows this path, it will take at most three hours to return to Noscent."
"Then … Merlin, you have to be careful."
After watching the group leave, Lin Yun started chanting an incantation. The surrounding space suddenly started strangely distorting as mana fluctuations crazily wreaked havoc in the void. It truly looked like the might of the heavens.
Lin Yun didn't even glance at it. He only chanted a long incantation, each character carrying a kind of mysterious and unfathomable power. Each incantation seemed to be able to control everything in the world. As Lin Yun chanted the last character, everyone seemed to hear an explosion.
Then, the entire Planar Path broke apart!
Indeed, the Planar Path that stretched as far as the eye could see was broken. The few people standing there looked like they were floating on an isolated island.
"Merlin, this is …" Lys' expression suddenly changed. The Planar Path breaking meant that there was no way back.
"Rest assured, I've already prepared the way back for everyone, it's just that it's not suitable to open it yet …"
"But … But …" After hearing Lin Yun's explanation, Lys was still a bit worried. After saying a few buts, he clenched his teeth and said, "But there is no need to break the Planar Path, isn't it better to have another way out?"
"There's no other way, Leader Lys. If we want to cross this mysterious plane, we have no choice but to break the Planar Path …"
"Ah?" A look of surprise appeared on Reiss's face.
But before Lys could say anything, Lin Yun chanted another incantation, and the island they were standing on crashed into the endless void.
"This part of the Planar Path will become our ark to cross planes!" After saying this, Lin Yun didn't continue explaining. All of Lin Yun 'attention was focused on controlling the Planar Path.
