"A hundred years after the Draconic War, a huge disaster occurred and all the powerhouses of the Merlin Family disappeared overnight …"
"Disappeared?" Lin Yun was amazed when he heard this. Even if the strength of a Family that could participate in the Draconic War declined after a hundred years, it shouldn't disappear overnight, right?
"From then on, the Merlin Family's status plummeted and they fell from a peak family of the empire to dust …"
"I really didn't expect …"
"But before that disaster, the Merlin Family really used a Dragon's head dripping with blood as their crest. This can be found in the Ancestral Land's secret tome."
"In other words, the crest you gave me might have been left behind by an ancestor of the Merlin Family?" Lin Yun put the damaged crest in front of his eyes and carefully looked at it for a while before doubtfully asking, "How did you get it?"
"Eh, it seems to be when the sky turned red …" William Merlin scratched his head, seemingly confused. "But I don't remember the specific time, I only remember that it was very chaotic. Weapon fragments, armor wreckage, and all kinds of corpses were smashing onto the Planar Path. I couldn't dodge, and I didn't have time to care about anything else. After everything calmed down, I saw this crest lying at my feet …"
"…" Lin Yun was speechless. He originally thought that the Draconic Beastman finding the Three-Headed Golden Dragon's blood was already a coincidence, but he hadn't expected William Merlin to be even more coincidental. He actually picked up a crest from the Merlin Family.
But this crest …
As he thought of this, Lin Yun doubtfully looked at the damaged crest in his hand. Lin Yun felt that there was a very strange power lingering around it.
It seemed …
It seemed to be a power on the soul level.
Lin Yun didn't understand much about the power of the soul plane, so he couldn't see through it for a while. After thinking about it, he called Shaun over.
"Come, Lord Shaun, help me take a look at this crest and see if there is anything strange about it …"
"Oh, Dragon Slaying Crest!" Shaun was a lot more knowledgeable than Lin Yun. He immediately let out a cry of alarm when he saw the crest. "This thing has a huge origin, where did you get it? Let me tell you, the things left behind by the Thirteen Aristocratic Families are all very evil. It's not as easy as the Bloodline Curse of the Empire's royal family. If you encounter any trouble, it's fine if you die, but don't drag Lord Xiao En down … "
"…" Lin Yun took a few deep breaths before suppressing the urge to shove Shaun back into his ring.
"No …" Just as Lin Yun was hesitating, wondering if he should teach this guy a lesson, Shaun let out another cry of alarm. "This is wrong, this Dragon's head clearly belongs to a Life Red Dragon. None of the thirteen great families that participated in the Draconic War fought against a Destruction Black Dragon. I say, this is a fake …"
"Don't be so long-winded, I called you over to help me take a look and see if the thing lingering around this crest is soul power …" Lin Yun unhappily scolded, "Who asked you if this crest is a fake? You were locked up in Prince Barov's tomb for so long, your memory must have deteriorated …"
But after scolding him, Lin Yun couldn't help inwardly admiring him.
Shaun's insight wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to. None of the thirteen great families of the empire had ever fought against a Destruction Black Dragon.
Because the one who fought against the Life Red Dragon was the empire's greatest alchemist, the Dark Sage.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun suddenly froze.
'Could it be that the Merlin Family has some kind of relationship with the Dark Sage?'
After thinking about it carefully, it did seem possible. The Merlin Family was one of the participants in the Draconic War. Since they left behind a Destruction Black Dragon's head as their crest, this meant that the Merlin Family had most likely fought against a Destruction Black Dragon, and in the historical records, it was the Dark Sage who fought against the Destruction Black Dragon.
Thinking about it like that, it seemed that the two sides really did have some kind of connection.
At the very least, they had fought side by side …
"Indeed, there is soul power lingering around it …" While Lin Yun was thinking about this, Shaun had already finished his examination. After proudly showing off a few sentences, he suddenly paused, a trace of doubt appearing on his face. "But it's very strange …"
"What is it?"
"The soul power lingering around this crest doesn't seem to be a curse or a defense …"
"That is …"
"Uh, if I'm not mistaken, the power entwined around this emblem is very likely to be … for the purpose of inheritance …"
"You mean, Soul Inheritance?" Lin Yun's expression suddenly became strange.
No wonder this damaged crest fell at William Merlin's feet …
Lin Yun had been wondering how the crest of the Merlin Family could fall at the feet of a descendant of the Merlin Family. This was even more of a coincidence than the Draconic Beastman finding the Three-Headed Golden Dragon's blood.
But it now looked like it wasn't as simple as a coincidence …
Some people might ask, 'Why not Lin Yun?'
Wasn't Lin Yun also a descendant of the Merlin Family?
Indeed, Lin Yun's current body was indeed that of a descendant of the Merlin Family, but the problem was that the soul in his body came from 30,000 years in the future.
"That's right, Soul Inheritance. But don't count on me to carry out the Soul Inheritance, the risk is too great, I won't do anything …" After saying this, Shawn stretched and didn't wait for Lin Yun to urge him before entering his ring.
"…" Watching the cowardly Shawn disappear, Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But then again …
As for how to carry out the Soul Inheritance, Lin Yun didn't need to ask others.
"Try pouring mana into the crest when you meditate in the next few days." After saying this, Lin Yun didn't care whether William Merlin understood or not. He directly threw the damaged crest in his hand and sat down once again, continuing his incomplete analysis of the Silver Dragon's blood.
Time passed by day by day …
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The return time of the Planar Path was longer than Lin Yun had expected.
Through the distorted void, he could clearly see the Netherstorm wreaking havoc in the Heaven Enlightening Plane. The blood-red color filled every corner of the Heaven Enlightening Plane, and the only place that wasn't affected was the cemetery in the void that Lin Yun had once entered.
But it was only a matter of time.
If the Netherstorm burst out, the entire world would turn into nothingness, and even the cemetery that buried Ancient Gods wouldn't be an exception.
After spending half a month, Lin Yun finally extracted 100,000 runes from that drop of Silver Dragon's blood.
At this time, the amount of runes accumulated in Lin Yun's Magic Array had reached an astonishing 200,000!
If this was in Noscent, an ordinary Archmage would be scared pale. What kind of concept was 200,000 runes? That was the equivalent of knowing more than half of the runes in the world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was omniscient and omnipotent. The spells that could be formed from these 200,000 runes were simply breathtaking. This kind of abnormal rune accumulation would be shocking even during the peak of the magic civilization.
No Great Mage had ever accumulated such a shocking amount of runes.
Even Great Mages with Magic Arrays couldn't do it.
The Magic Arrays within Lin Yun's body had already been strengthened to their limits. No less than nine Magic Arrays couldn't accommodate such a huge amount of runes. Lin Yun could clearly feel that the nine Magic Arrays within his body were cumbersome and bloated, and their circulation was jerky and sluggish. Lin Yun knew that his current situation was as if he had eaten too many tonics, to the point where he couldn't even walk.
He only had two choices at this time.
Either he spat out the tonics, or he completely digested them …
Lin Yun definitely wouldn't be willing to spit them out.
Therefore, the only choice was to digest these tonics …
For the next half a month, Lin Yun sat on the Planar Path and didn't stand up again. Everyone could clearly feel a shocking mana fluctuation being emitted from Lin Yun's body, and that mana fluctuation never stopped. He was like a never-ending machine, continuously revolving his mana.
Indeed, Lin Yun was in such a state.
For half a month, the Magic Arrays within Lin Yun's body never stopped, they were always revolving at full speed. At first, because of the cumbersome and bloated Magic Arrays, this kind of circulation was jerky and sluggish. But later on, the Magic Arrays revolved faster and faster, and Lin Yun's control became smoother and smoother. In the end, it was no different from before.
Normally, the Magic Arrays should have recovered by this time, and Lin Yun should have stopped.
But Lin Yun didn't do so.
Because Lin Yun could already feel that the Magic Arrays were changing.
For ten days, Lin Yun remained motionless.
But the mana fluctuations he emitted were even more shocking.
During these ten days, whether it was Suyass, Fran, Lys, or Solomon, they were all looking at Lin Yun with alarm. They faintly felt that if that young Great Mage opened his eyes, Noscent's magic system would once again be overturned.
