Thus, Ross Merlin got up early in the morning and personally went to look for Ofran.
This time, Ross Merlin confirmed his previous conjecture from Ofran.
'That's right, the person who killed Stan Watson was sent by Mafa Merlin.
In other words, the thing he wanted was most likely in Mafa Merlin's hands.
After hearing this information, Ross Merlin couldn't sit still and went to look for Ofran, but he was blocked outside by William Merlin. Moreover, it had been like this for a few days, and Ross Merlin couldn't do anything about it. The current William Merlin wasn't the William Merlin of the past. Although his current strength couldn't suppress Ross Merlin, Ross Merlin didn't have the confidence to defeat him.
But he had no choice but to ask.
That thing was too important to Ross Merlin. Ross Merlin had to pay any price to get that thing.
Now, the only thing Ross Merlin could do was come over once a day and hope to meet Mafa Merlin.
As long as William Merlin wasn't in the way, Ross Merlin believed that things would definitely be a lot simpler. He could take out a lot of conditions.
Even if Mafa Merlin was the boss of the Gilded Rose and was said to have a huge amount of wealth, Thousand Sails City was only Thousand Sails City, a small place in the eastern part of the kingdom. There were many things that couldn't be bought in Thousand Sails City.
For example, all kinds of rare magic materials, all kinds of powerful magic equipment, and even advanced alchemy techniques, as well as profound magic knowledge.
Especially techniques and knowledge. He had a lot of them, and they were the accumulation of his many years of expeditions to various major planes. But for Mafa Merlin, they might not be so easy to buy.
By relying on these things, he would be able to reach a deal with Mafa Merlin that would satisfy everyone.
The problem was, how to bypass William Merlin …
"Eh, cousin, you're out …" Just as Ross Merlin was plotting, William Merlin suddenly turned around and revealed a pleasantly surprised and attentive smile.
"Looks like Cousin Mafa's wealth isn't ordinary …" Ross Merlin couldn't help sighing as he saw this.
William Merlin's strength was already comparable to his own, and he would be at the peak of the younger generation in the Merlin Family. But when facing the rich boss of the Gilded Rose, Mafa Merlin, he acted so courteously. He must have gotten a lot of benefits from his cousin.
"Yes." Lin Yun nodded. After staying in his room for a few days, he had finally gotten used to the new Magic Array. He was about to test it out and gather some data when he suddenly remembered that today was the day of the Black Horn Auction, so he tidied up a bit and went downstairs.
"How is it? Did you make any progress in the past few days?" William Merlin was naturally asking about his cousin's Magic Conducting Rune.
After all, William Merlin had personally seen his cousin fuse his Magic Conducting Rune after advancing to the High Mage realm. At this time, William Merlin was incomparably curious. His already heaven-defying cousin had advanced to what extent?
"I made some gains." Lin Yun didn't want to talk about this, so he only nodded. "Oh right, today should be the day of the Black Horn Auction, right?"
"Ah, the Black Horn Auction …" It was an ordinary sentence, but it made William Merlin bitterly smile. "I'm afraid we won't make it in time. The Black Horn Auction starts at ten in the morning, and it's already nine now. It'll take us at least an hour to get there …"
"It's fine, let's go there first." Lin Yun remembered that before coming to Okland, Cadgar had specially gone to the Gilded Rose to look for him. He told Lin Yun to go to the Black Horn chamber of commerce after arriving in Okland and especially gave Lin Yun a ring. He said that as long as he had that ring, he would be able to go to any Black Horn Auction House in Noscent unimpeded.
"Alright, let's hurry up …"
As the two were about to leave, Ross Merlin couldn't help but say, "Mafa … Cousin Mafa, please wait …"
"You are?" Lin Yun was originally in a hurry, but he was suddenly blocked, so he was naturally in a bad mood. He looked at Ross Merlin with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"He is Ross Merlin, you met him a few days ago …" William Merlin promptly explained when he saw the situation. He glared at Ross Merlin while thinking, 'I'll just treat it as doing a good deed and saving your life …'
"Oh." Lin Yun nodded. "I'm going to the Black Horn Auction now, so time is tight. Can't you wait until I return?"
"No, wait!" Ross Merlin had already waited for a few days. Now that he finally saw Mafa Merlin, how could he keep waiting? Seeing the other side turn to leave, Ross Merlin raised his staff in a hurry to stop him.
Originally, Ross Merlin's action wasn't wrong.
After all, Lin Yun had already walked a bit too far and couldn't reach him with his hand. Only a slightly longer staff could stop him.
But William Merlin was scared when he saw this action. "Ross Merlin, what are you trying to do!"
This wasn't a joke …
William Merlin had been in Thousand Sails City for half a year, so he knew what this cousin feared the most.
A staff was a weapon!
Taking out a weapon in front of him … Ross Merlin, even if you wanted to die, this wasn't the way to do it …
"Ross Merlin, I'll say it again. Leave this place immediately. This is your last warning, or I won't mind teaching you another lesson. Moreover, I can guarantee that the Wind Blade I release this time won't be as simple as cutting your robe!" William Merlin's expression had already sunk, and the mana fluctuations emitted from his body showed that he was ready to fight.
Nothing could be done about it, this was all William Merlin could do for now.
Otherwise, if Ross Merlin did something drastic, William Merlin couldn't guarantee that he would be able to leave this place alive.
Unfortunately, Ross Merlin didn't know about William Merlin's painstaking efforts. After extending his staff to block Lin Yun, he said, "Cousin Merlin, I truly want to discuss a deal with you in good faith. I can guarantee that you will definitely be interested in the conditions I propose. I can provide you with High Mage and Archmage level magic knowledge, and even Great Alchemist level alchemy skills. I can even help your Gilded Rose three times. All I want is a map left behind by Stan Watson."
After saying this, Ross Merlin motionlessly looked at Lin Yun, waiting for the other side to agree.
This was certain in Ross Merlin's eyes.
The conditions he proposed were impeccable. Ross Merlin believed that as long as Mafa Merlin was in his right mind, he wouldn't refuse such conditions.
A High Mage and even an Archmage's magic knowledge, as well as a Great Alchemist's alchemy skills, and he had even agreed to help the Gilded Rose three times. Who would refuse such conditions in exchange for a map left behind by Stan Watson?
Then …
Lin Yun refused.
"Not interested."
After saying this, Lin Yun pushed aside the staff in front of him and turned to leave with William Merlin.
"Mafa … Cousin Mafa, wait …" Ross Merlin hadn't expected that he would be rejected after proposing such generous conditions. He froze there for no less than ten seconds before reacting.
But Lin Yun had already left with William Merlin, and Ross Merlin didn't have the opportunity to persuade him.
"Oh right, the Black Horn Auction …" After vexing for a while, Ross Merlin recalled that the two of them had talked about going to the Black Horn Auction.
'Alright, I'll follow them to the Black Horn Auction …'
'I'll think of a way to persuade him then …'
But what if it didn't work?
At this time, Ross Merlin was no longer as confident in this transaction.
'If it doesn't work …'
Ross Merlin clenched his teeth. If it didn't work, he would have to snatch it. This was the only way. Only by taking advantage of the fact that the young Archmage who killed Stan Watson wasn't there would he have the opportunity to snatch that map from Mafa Merlin.
As for what would happen after that …
He would think of a way to compensate Mafa Merlin.
After all, that map was extremely important to him, but it was just a piece of scrap paper to others. At most, he would give Mafa Merlin some compensation. For example, he could use his own forces to suppress Aube Merlin. Everyone knew that Aube Merlin had been eyeing the wealth of the Gilded Rose. Wouldn't he be helping that cousin from Thousand Sails City?
Ross Merlin no longer hesitated and followed the two out of the Merlin Family Manor.
At this time, Lin Yun and William Merlin were already on their way.
"Oh right, Cousin, do you know anything about the map Ross Merlin mentioned?" Lin Yun had been thinking about this on the way.
After killing Stan Watson in the Aurij Mountain Range, he had indeed obtained a map made of parchment. Lin Yun had glanced through it, and the route on the map seemed to lead to Gaugass. Moreover, the destination was the mountain range that even Lin Yun didn't dare to set foot on.
