Unfortunately, there was no time for Stan Watson to figure out what was going on.
The crimson flames pierced through the thick Ice Wall like a dazzling sun rising from the east. The thick Ice Wall instantly melted and a crimson ray of light leapt out. Stan Watson suddenly felt that there was nothing under his feet as a flaming arm tightly grabbed his neck.
It was followed by a snapping sound.
The entire world suddenly became silent.
Everyone stood there in a daze.
This scene was simply too shocking ….
The beautiful Expert Swordswoman forgot to use her 5th Crescent Moon Slash, and the elites of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group forgot to save their employer. Everyone stood there in a daze, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
A dozen years ago, when Stan Watson was still a youth, his name had already shaken Okland. Everyone regarded him as the future of the Watson Family. He became a High Mage at the age of 25 and caused a sensation in Okland. In the past few years, he had been walking step by step on the magic path and was now an 8th Rank High Mage. He might take one year, or three years, but in short, he would soon enter the Archmage realm.
Stan Watson was like a shadow hanging over the heads of Okland's younger generation. Everyone knew that Stan Watson was very arrogant and proud, but no one could deny that Stan Watson was that powerful. No matter who wanted to set foot on the peak, they had to face Stan Watson's existence.
Among them was the beautiful Expert Swordswoman.
Anna had the bloodline of the War God flowing in her body. At the age of 21, she had already defeated the famous Expert Swordsman Lawson and was now the 1st Vice Leader of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group. Her longsword could be said to be unrivaled, but even Anna had to admit that there was still a huge gap between her and Stan Watson.
Stan Watson had arrogantly declared that only a Sword Saint was qualified to worry about his safety. At that time, the beautiful Expert Swordswoman could only feel anger, but she couldn't refute him, because that was the truth. Stan Watson had the confidence to be so arrogant.
But now …
The arrogant and powerful Stan Watson had actually died.
Indeed, that fair and slender arm pierced through the thick Ice Wall and broke Stan Watson's neck with a light flick.
Stan Watson had already turned into a lifeless corpse, casually thrown to the ground by the young mage. The Fire Elemental Incarnation had already dissipated, and the mana fluctuations emitted by the young mage were no longer berserk. They were restrained and gentle, and a smile could be seen on his face as he looked at everyone. If not for the ashes still lingering on his fingertips, no one would be able to imagine that this seemingly gentle and harmless young mage had just strangled one of Okland's most outstanding geniuses, Stan Watson, who was viewed as the future of the Watson Family.
"You … You killed Stan Watson!" Hannah stood there in a daze, her hand tightly gripping the longsword, but it was obvious that the blade was slightly trembling …
At this time, the beautiful Expert Swordswoman was completely stunned. All she could think about was the consequences of Stan Watson's death. The failure of the protection mission would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group, and it would lead to the Watson Family's investigation.
Normally, as a mercenary, Hannah's only choice was to rush over and kill the culprit.
But Hannah didn't dare.
Hannah truly didn't dare. The power displayed by that young mage was too frightening and strange. Hannah simply didn't have the confidence to resist that kind of power. Let alone rushing over to kill the other side, just standing there and watching from a distance was enough to make Hannah feel an indescribable fear.
If Hannah was like this, then there was no need to mention the other elites of the mercenary group.
In fact, they still couldn't react. How could a perfectly good protection mission suddenly fail? Where did that young mage come from? How could he have such frightening power? Wasn't Stan Watson one of the most outstanding geniuses of Okland's younger generation? Why … Why didn't he have the slightest ability to resist? He just stood there obediently, and his neck was broken in one move. What … what was going on?
But Lin Yun wasn't interested in answering these questions.
After exiting the Fire Elemental Incarnation, Lin Yun didn't immediately leave. Instead, he slowly bent down and picked up a yellowed parchment map from the ground.
Lin Yun remembered that this yellowed parchment map had been taken out by Stan Watson. It seemed to be very important, but he had appeared too suddenly and Stan Watson didn't have time to put it away. Following Stan Watson's death, this yellowed parchment map naturally fell to the ground.
"Hmm?" After picking up the parchment, Lin Yun glanced at it and his heart suddenly moved.
The shape of the Aurij Mountain Range was drawn on this yellowed map, and at the peak of the Aurij Mountain Range was a red line. Lin Yun carefully looked at it and found that the end of that line seemed to be on the other side of the Aurij Mountain Range, near Gaugass.
"Looks like I didn't kill the wrong person." Lin Yun smiled and no longer studied the map. He slowly rolled it up and carefully put it in his pocket.
Because Lin Yun knew that continuing to study it would only be a waste of time.
The area that the red line led to wasn't a place he could enter. In the future, there would be a world-shaking battle that would engulf all of Noscent. Countless powerhouses would fall there. Archmages and Sword Saints would only be cannon fodder in that battle. Even more than a dozen Heaven Rank powerhouses would fall.
Thus, Stan Watson's death wasn't unjust.
He only had the power of an 8th Rank High Mage, yet he wanted to enter that area …
"Truly tired of living …" Lin Yun's mouth twitched. He no longer looked at the corpse on the ground and only nodded at the trembling Expert Swordswoman. "Don't be nervous, I said I had no malice."
Then, he walked down the mountain range.
At this time, the Red Dragon Mercenary Group still had fifty elite mercenaries, as well as the descendant of the War God that defeated Expert Swordsman Lawson at the age of 21. But when Lin Yun walked down the Aurij Mountain Range, no one dared to stop him. Let alone obstructing him, no one even dared to breathe loudly.
Until Lin Yun's silhouette gradually became indistinct …
"Hold on, stop!" The beautiful Expert Swordswoman suddenly regained her courage and fiercely chased after him.
But then, Hanna stopped.
At this time, even this beautiful Expert Swordswoman didn't know what she wanted to do.
'Chase after him?'
This was no different from courting death. The power displayed by the other party had completely crushed the Great Swordsman level. Not to mention that he was only a 5th Rank Great Swordsman, even if he spent a few more years and became a 9th Rank Great Swordsman, or even a Sword Saint, it would still be difficult for him to gain the upper hand in front of this young mage.
But …
She was unwilling to let him leave like this.
At this time, Hannah didn't know what to do.
The blonde Expert Swordswoman stood there, not knowing what to do. She wanted to chase after him, but she didn't dare to. She wanted to give up, but she was unwilling. After a few minutes, when the young mage's silhouette disappeared into the thicket, Hannah softly sighed and ordered the fifty elites of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group, "Take Stan Watson's corpse and return …"
…
At this time, in the Merlin Family's Manor …
"That's quite a coincidence. I originally came to see our younger cousin today, but I hadn't expected him to go out. But forget it, it doesn't matter if our younger cousin isn't here, I only have a few words to tell him." Ross Merlin casually stood there, giving off an indescribable aura. The young mage that had led the group was now hiding behind Ross Merlin, afraid that the Dark Flame Beastman would do something irrational.
"What is it?"
"I heard that our younger cousin's business in Thousand Sails City is quite good. He even has an alchemy shop under his name called the Gilded Rose. It just so happens that I've recently formed a private mercenary group to campaign in the Collow Plane. I need a lot of alchemy equipment. I'll have someone make a list and have our younger cousin deliver the equipment on the list as soon as possible."
"Haha …" William Merlin immediately understood when he heard this.
No wonder someone came looking for trouble …
'Turns out it's like this …'
The Gilded Rose's wealth had already spread throughout the Merlin Family. It wasn't just Patriarch Ofran who knew, even Ross Merlin and Aube Merlin had most likely received some news.
It was clear that Ross Merlin had heard that the Gilded Rose was extremely wealthy in Thousand Sails City, so he sent a group of people to cause trouble. His plan was definitely to extort some benefits from the Gilded Rose.
It was easy to understand …
At first, he would send a group of people to cause trouble, and when everyone was in a mess, Ross Merlin would personally appear to clean up the mess. At that time, he would take the opportunity to ask for a batch of alchemy equipment. Even if Mafa Merlin wasn't willing, he would have no choice but to comply with his request.
Unfortunately, Ross Merlin hadn't met his younger cousin.
Otherwise, even if Ross Merlin was a hundred times more courageous, he still wouldn't dare to extort him. That would truly be courting death.
