"Who the hell are you?" Lin Yun asked in a deep voice while quietly casting a Spirit Defense.
Lin Yun's Magic Array had already reached ten and was constantly operating. Under such circumstances, no mana could silently invade Lin Yun's mind. Thus, Lin Yun felt that the voice in the depths of his mind was either a mental power or an Ethereal Passage power, and Spirit Defense was the bane of these two kinds of power.
But …
"Don't waste your energy, Spirit Defense is useless against me." Just as Lin Yun cast a Spirit Defense, that voice clearly echoed in the depths of his mind.
"…" Lin Yun couldn't help cursing.
'This is really strange …'
'How could I encounter this kind of thing?'
This was too fatal for a mage. A voice in the depths of his mind could communicate with him at any time. In other words, even if he was meditating, even if he was casting, he could still be disturbed by that voice. This wasn't a joke. To a mage, this meant that they would always be in danger of a mana backlash.
"Speak, who the hell are you …"
"You forgot so quickly? Not long ago, you just destroyed my body … "The voice that came from the depths of his mind sounded unhurried, as if it was mocking him.
"Destroyed your body …" Lin Yun frowned as he thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember whose voice he destroyed. 'Could it be that those powerful corpses in the cemetery turned into Resentful Spirits?'
'No, no …'
'If it really was a Resentful Spirit, the Magic Array would have already alerted me. How could there be no reaction?
'Hold on …'
'Destroyed body …'
'Crystal Scales!'
'That's right, it's the Crystal Scales. Only a strange existence like the Magic Tool Incarnation could silently pass through the Magic Array and Mind Defense, and only the Crystal Scales' Incarnation would complain about him destroying his body. '
"You are the Crystal Scales!"
"Hahahaha, you guessed half of it …"
"Half?" Lin Yun was at a loss. When it came to identity, one could either guess it right or wrong. What did 'half' mean?
"The incarnation of the Crystal Scales is indeed me, but I'm not just the incarnation of the Crystal Scales. In reality, the Crystal Scales are only the weakest of the many bodies I've used. Otherwise, do you really think you'd have a chance of suppressing me with your current strength?"
"But aren't you still suppressed by me …"
"That's why I said you're stupid!" As if reminded of the past by Lin Yun, the voice in the depths of his mind suddenly became angry out of humiliation. "You humans are like this, arrogant and conceited, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. Do you really think you can suppress Lord Anderfa? Truly ridiculous. You want to suppress Lord Anderfa with a trifling Magic Array? I'm telling you, you'd better be well-behaved and do whatever Lord Anderfa tells you to do, or you won't be able to meditate or cast for the rest of your life, mana backlash is waiting for you …"
"Despicable!" Lin Yun suddenly gnashed his teeth. 'This is too despicable, this guy is relying on his ability to disturb me to threaten me.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help regretting. If he had known that the Crystal Scales' Incarnation was so strange, he wouldn't have used the Magic Array. He would have directly found an excellent Magic Tool to seal him and see what tricks he could play.
'Hold on, Magic Array …'
As he thought about it, Lin Yun realized that something was wrong. 'Why didn't that self-proclaimed Anderfa Magic Tool Incarnation say anything in the Heaven Enlightening Plane?' After all, he was walking on a tightrope at that time. If he wasn't careful, he would have fallen into a bottomless abyss. If he had threatened him at that time, wouldn't he have agreed to any conditions?
Instead, he jumped out now that he was safe.
'This doesn't seem logical, right?'
'Moreover, I already felt strange when I fused with the Silver Dragon Blood in the Heaven Enlightening Plane. The extra hundred thousand runes could at most be used to perfect the Magic Array, it couldn't achieve this kind of transformation. After all, he now had a Magic Array out of thin air. This wasn't a joke, it was tantamount to changing the shape of the Magic Array and toppling Noscent's magic system.
Before, Lin Yun had thought that his luck was too good.
But now that he thought about it, it wasn't as simple as luck.
'It's most likely related to this self-proclaimed Magic Tool Incarnation called Lord Anderfa.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun's frown suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face. "I was wondering why there was one more Magic Array, turns out it was Sir Enderfa who helped, thank you very much …"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" That seemingly ordinary sentence made Enderfa's voice sound a bit panicked.
"Haha …" Lin Yun knew that his guess was correct when he heard that. "But I'm sorry, Lord Anderfa, I'm not someone who likes to receive favors from others, so I thought about it and decided to reluctantly give up on the 10th Magic Array …"
"You … What do you mean!"
"Lord Anderfa, how could you not leave your name after doing such a good deed? You helped me complete the 10th Magic Array, you can't let me thank you, right?"
"What proof do you have that I helped you complete the 10th Magic Array!?" Anderfa was going crazy and was doing his best to deny it.
"Haha …" Lin Yun only sneered.
The deadlock lasted for about ten minutes before the self-proclaimed Anderfa Magic Tool Incarnation finally lowered his head.
"Okay, okay, so what if I helped you complete the 10th Magic Array? What, I can't help others?"
"Of course I can help others …" Lin Yun was smiling from start to finish. "But after helping others, you still refuse to leave, isn't that a bit too excessive?"
"You … What do you want?"
"I only want to ask Lord Anderfa to stop boasting when you have nothing to do. Don't even think about meditating or casting. You might suffer a mana backlash at any time. Haha, if I really encountered a mana backlash, wouldn't Lord Anderfa be even more nervous than me?"
The self-proclaimed Anderfa Magic Tool Incarnation suddenly became silent.
Anderfa didn't say anything, and Lin Yun didn't urge him. At this time, there was a strange calm.
After another ten minutes, Anderfa's voice echoed from the depths of his mind once again. "Okay, Human, I admit that you are right. I am indeed living in the 10th Magic Array, but don't vainly think of using this to threaten me. I know better than you how sick your thirst for power is. Haha, rest assured, I was only threatening you. Just like you said, if you encountered a mana backlash, I would be even more nervous than you. This means that at least for a short period of time, our interests are aligned. Now, let us discuss the conditions …"
"Okay." Lin Yun had been waiting for this. Hearing Anderfa's initiative, Lin Yun didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his conditions. "I can let you live in the 10th Magic Array, but you had best understand that you are only living there. I believe you can see that the Magic Array is the foundation of my magic path, so I won't tolerate any actions against the Magic Array. You had best understand this, or I'd rather give up a portion of my power to destroy the 10th Magic Array."
"I can guarantee that …" Anderfa straightforwardly agreed, before somewhat dejectedly muttering, "In fact, I can't do anything to this damned Magic Array. I've never seen such a complicated Magic Conducting Rune, I really don't know how you completed it back then …"
"You don't need to worry about that. The first condition is over, now for the second …"
"Hey, don't take it too far!"
"The first condition was just a warning, the second is the real one. Do you really plan on living and eating for free? Don't think I don't know that besides living in the 10th Magic Array, you will also absorb mana when I meditate. If not for the fact that you are only hitching a ride and won't affect my meditation efficiency, I would have already fought to the death with you. What? You don't want to agree to a condition?"
"Okay, okay, okay, say it, say it …"
"The second condition is actually very simple …" Lin Yun raised his foot and kicked the Shadow Assassin. "This Shadow Assassin's mechanical system uses some Latour Gold Essence. After some time, I will use this Latour Gold Essence to craft a Magic Tool. At that time, I will transfer you into that Magic Tool and make you the new Magic Tool Incarnation. That way, you will also have a new body, but in exchange, you need to serve me for a hundred years …"
"A hundred years?" Hearing that deadline, Anderfa clearly sighed in relief. "Alright, a hundred years it is!"
Lin Yun wasn't surprised.
The lifespan of a Magic Tool Incarnation was endless, a hundred years was nothing more than a snap of a finger to them. Exchanging a hundred years for a new body was a profit for Anderfa, no matter how he looked at it.
Naturally, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
After a hundred years, he would have already grasped the Book of Death, and he might have already gathered all thirteen Augments. At that time, as long as he had the Book of Death, why would he need another Magic Tool?
