After Anderfa agreed to the two conditions, Lin Yun didn't try to provoke the other side.
Because Lin Yun always felt that this self-proclaimed Anderfa Incarnation was the most sinister one among all the Incarnations he had ever seen. Now that everyone could peacefully coexist, this was the best outcome. Lin Yun didn't seem to be gaining much of an advantage, but if he kept provoking the other side and forced the other side into a life and death struggle, it wouldn't be good for either side.
"Oh right, Sir Anderfa, did you just say that I was stupid?"
"That … That was only a joke, hahahaha …"
Anderfa 'laughter dragged on for a long time, but after laughing for a long time, he discovered that the other side wasn't saying anything, so his laughter gradually became stiff.
Lin Yun didn't urge him, he waited until Anderfa finished laughing before saying, "Speak …"
"Fuck …" Anderfa vaguely cursed before reluctantly saying, "I said you were stupid because you always thought that the creator of this puppet was Vaughn …"
"Hmm?" Lin Yun 'eyes shone when he heard this. "You mean that the creator of this puppet was someone else?"
"Forget it, I'll tell you. In any case, you'll learn of this secret sooner or later …" Anderfa sighed before helplessly saying, "I believe you should know that Vaughn rose so quickly because he obtained the inheritance of a formidable alchemist …"
"You mean the Dark Sage?"
"That's right, the Dark Sage. But Vaughn only obtained a very small part of the Dark Sage's inheritance. To be more precise, it was three Heaven Rank Puppets …"
"Sure enough …" Lin Yun had a flash of understanding when he heard this.
In fact, as early as the 3rd Dynasty, many people had guessed that Vaughn obtained the three Heaven Rank Puppets left behind by the Dark Sage. But guesses were just guesses in the end, because no one could take out any evidence. Even up until Vaughn's death, those three Heaven Rank Puppets had never appeared in front of the world.
It was only today that Enderfa was certain of this statement.
"Later on, Vaughn discovered some secrets in the Four Seasons Canyon. As for what those secrets were, you don't need to ask, because I'm not too clear. I only know that after Vaughn discovered those secrets, he arranged a huge array around the entire Four Seasons Canyon and used all his power to build an alchemy laboratory. After doing that, Vaughn left the Four Seasons Canyon and only returned many years later …"
"About when?"
"About ten years before he went into self-exile …"
"Oh …"
Lin Yun calculated the time. Vaughn left himself in Crystal Island and was said to have lived for twenty years before dying. In other words, Vaughn returned to this alchemy laboratory thirty years before his death. At that time, Vaughn was already standing at the peak of Noscent, the Chief Alchemist of the Empire, the final Artisan, all glory belonged to him.
"When Vaughn returned, he brought those three Heaven Rank Puppets and handed over the control of the entire alchemy laboratory to them. Ten years passed like that before Vaughn left for Crystal Island and spent the last twenty years of his life there."
"And then?"
"And then … Haha, then, these three puppets kept carrying out Vaughn's will and took charge of the operation of the entire alchemy laboratory. Until one night, five hundred years ago, one of the Heaven Rank Puppets suddenly lost control and started crazily destroying everything in the alchemy laboratory …"
"Crazy?"
"Yes, crazy. You can never imagine how frightening a Heaven Rank Puppet is when it goes crazy. The entire alchemy laboratory was destroyed by that Heaven Rank Puppet. What you see now is only the ruins left behind by that disaster. The truly flourishing alchemy laboratory far surpassed your imagination …"
"How could a puppet go crazy …" Lin Yun thought about it but couldn't understand. Puppets strictly followed the control runes, so how could they go crazy for no reason?
"How could I know? My body at the time was only a Spiritual Magic Tool Set. In front of that kind of Heaven Rank disaster, I couldn't even dodge it, so how could I have the courage to investigate the truth? "In any case, that Heaven Rank Puppet went crazy and crazily destroyed everything before reaching the top of the stone pagoda. There, it encountered two other Heaven Rank Puppets, and a great battle ensued, turning the top of the stone pagoda into ruins. You can't imagine how terrifying that battle was …"
"Oh?"
"You went to the top of the stone tower, so you should remember that there were empty cages along the way. To tell you the truth, those cages held magic beasts from various planes. The weakest among them was level 27 or 28, while some of the more powerful ones reached level 37 or 38. Moreover, their numbers far exceeded your imagination. I still remember that when those two Heaven Rank Puppets released them, they were like a black tide rushing over … But in the end, they all died in that world-shaking battle. In the end, less than a thousandth of them escaped …"
"I understand …" Hearing this, Lin Yun finally understood.
It turned out that those empty cages were left behind by those magic beasts …
Everything made sense now that he thought about it. The magical beasts that the joint exploration team encountered at the top of the stone tower were most likely the thousandth of them that escaped, or their descendants.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help sweating.
Just a thousandth of the magic beasts that managed to escape almost wiped out the joint exploration team. If it had been a few hundred years ago, at the peak of the alchemy laboratory, the joint exploration team wouldn't even have been enough to fill the gaps between the magic beasts' teeth.
"In the end, that crazy Heaven Rank Puppet lost. All of its systems were dismantled by its two companions and thrown into the abandoned warehouse downstairs."
"But what does this have to do with me being stupid?"
"Because after those two Heaven Rank Puppets dismantled their companions, they also sank into madness and started attacking each other. The two puppets each controlled a portion of the laboratory and frantically produced their own armies to frantically fight against each other. The shadow assassin you see now was created by one of them …"
"No way …" Lin Yun couldn't help being dumbstruck when he heard this. Two Heaven Puppets controlled the huge resources of the Vaughn Laboratory, producing a steady stream of puppets. Fighting again and again, fighting again and again … Just thinking about it showed what kind of disaster the laboratory had experienced.
After hearing this, Lin Yun finally understood.
There were so many things in the laboratory that didn't seem to have come from Vaughn's hands. For example, the maze array in the Void Python's belly, or the few Mage Breakers patrolling the botanical garden, or the flying puppets guarding the stone tower. It turned out that everything had been created by the two crazy Heaven Rank Puppets.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun curiously asked, "What happened after that?"
"After that, they fought for two to three hundred years. After exhausting all the resources, they both reached the top of the stone tower and disappeared …"
"Disappeared …" Lin Yun's eyes shone when he heard this. "Don't tell me, in that mountain range …"
"I don't know." Anderfa's voice was somewhat impatient as he said this. "Okay, okay, I already said what I needed to say. If you want to dismantle this Latour Gold Essence, hurry up and dismantle it. Tell me after you finish crafting that Magic Tool …"
After saying that, he remained silent for a long time. No matter how much Lin Yun called out, he didn't make a sound.
"Okay, pack up, we're going back …" Lin Yun called out for a long time, but he didn't get any response. In the end, he had no choice but to awkwardly scratch his nose and start dismantling the Latour Gold Essence on the Shadow Assassin's body.
To Lin Yun's surprise, that piece of Latour Gold Essence was the size of a fist.
'What a waste …' Lin Yun was dumbstruck. A fist-sized piece of Latour Gold Essence was actually used to construct the mechanical system of a Shadow Assassin. Nothing was more wasteful than these two Heaven Rank Puppets.
Let alone the size of a fist …
Even a thumb-sized piece of Latour Gold Essence would be worth spirit mana crystals in the alchemy market. These two Heaven Rank Puppets actually used it on a Shadow Assassin.
But from this, it could be imagined how fierce the battle between the two Heaven Puppets had been. The resources of the entire alchemy laboratory were almost completely consumed, and in the end, they had no choice but to use the Latour Gold Essence on a Shadow Assassin. They must have reached the point where they were out of food and ammunition.
Unfortunately, if the joint exploration team had entered the alchemy laboratory a few hundred years earlier, they would have gotten a hundred times more harvest than they did now.
Naturally, that was on the premise that they could survive the battle between the three puppets.
After Lin Yun finished dismantling the Latour Gold Essence, the distribution of magic materials also came to an end. Every force that joined the joint exploration team had obtained a satisfactory harvest, including Fran and Suyass.
Naturally, the Gilded Rose was the one with the greatest harvest.
The advantage of having the first choice was simply too great …
Apart from the Latour Gold Essence and the many rare magic materials that Lin Yun had taken, the other common magic materials could support the Gilded Rose's consumption for a few years.
Not to mention, Lin Yun had another idea in mind.
All the major forces had gotten so many magic materials this time, but there were less than three forces that had the ability to make the best use of these magic materials.
It would be better to do a good deed and negotiate with them.
