"This …" Lin Yun thought for a long time, but he couldn't understand the logic behind it. He looked at William Merlin with sympathy. "How could you be so unlucky …" "Yeah, I also don't know why I am so unlucky.
"Yeah, I don't know why I'm so unlucky. Why did I have to be targeted by Salen Charlotte? You don't know, but that guy is truly a mad dog. I had a lot of dealings with him in Okland, and he would seize every opportunity to ridicule and attack me. Later, after he became an Expert Swordsman, he became even more savage. You don't know, but at that time, he would force me to fight him whenever I saw him. I ran to Thousand Sails City not only because of the Family's orders, but also because I wanted to hide from him …"
"Yes, the power of a 4th Rank Expert Swordsman is pretty good for his age …" Lin Yun nodded and didn't continue on this topic.
"Not bad …" William Merlin saw that Lin Yun didn't plan on continuing the topic, so he tactfully shut his mouth. But he inwardly thought, 'I was smart enough to stay in Thousand Sails City for half a year and luckily run into you. Otherwise, I would have been crushed by that guy …'
"Cousin Mafa." The two had just finished this topic when Ross Merlin came over. After entering the auction hall, that 5th Rank High Mage directly walked towards the two.
Previously, in order to not disturb this special guest, Ritch had specially arranged for him to sit in the 5th row. Thus, Ross Merlin directly walked over and sat next to the two of them.
"Ross Merlin, how come it's you again?" William Merlin rolled his eyes when he saw the newcomer. This person was truly like a ghost that wouldn't go away.
"William Merlin, you'd best not provoke me again …" Ross' mood was already very bad after being repeatedly blocked by William Merlin. He looked at William Merlin with an ice-cold gaze.
"I'm so scared …"
"I'll say it one last time. This matter is extremely important to me. It's so important that I'm willing to pay any price. If you think that you have the confidence to face my wrath after beating me once by luck, you can continue to provoke me."
"Hehe …" William Merlin had a look of disdain. Others might be afraid of Ross Merlin, but William Merlin wasn't afraid at all. William Merlin knew that the person sitting next to him wouldn't let Ross Merlin hurt him.
William Merlin sneered. Just as he was about to provoke Ross Merlin, Lin Yun raised his hand and said, "Alright, cousin, let him finish."
"Alright …"
"You can speak now."
"Mafa Merlin, according to our relationship, I can also call you cousin. Before coming here, I did some research on you. I hope you don't mind …"
"Haha, it's nothing."
"I know that you are now managing an alchemy shop in Thousand Sails City and have a huge amount of wealth. You even have a very influential position in Thousand Sails City. I also know that you have a very powerful mage at your side, most likely an Archmage. That powerful mage killed Stan Watson in the Aurij Mountains. If I remember correctly, Stan Watson should have been holding a map at the time, but that map disappeared after his death. I think that map should be in your hands now …"
"That's right." Lin Yun straightforwardly nodded and admitted it. There was no need to hide it. Lin Yun's gaze simply wasn't on a 5th Rank High Mage like Ross Merlin. Let alone Ross Merlin, even Stan Watson, who was powerful enough to make Ross despair, was only a ticket to the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land in Lin Yun's eyes.
"That's good." Unfortunately, Ross Merlin simply didn't understand Lin Yun's attitude. In Ross' eyes, this cousin admitting so straightforwardly meant that there was hope for this deal to succeed. Otherwise, why would he admit it? "Cousin Mafa, this map is very important to me.
"Cousin Mafa, this map is very important to me. Just like I said, I can do anything for this map, but this map is meaningless to you. Thus, I think we can reach a deal. Give me the map and I'll give you some compensation in other aspects. You should know that I've been campaigning for the Merlin Family in all major planes. Although I didn't have many accomplishments, I still had some gains …"
"Oh?"
"Today, I brought three Inheritance Magic Tools. As long as Cousin Mafa agrees, these three Inheritance Magic Tools will be yours. Moreover, I have some knowledge and experience in the field of magic. If Cousin Mafa has any questions, I might be able to give you some pointers …"
"Pfff …" Ross Merlin had just said this when William Merlin spat out a mouthful of saliva.
He then looked at Ross Merlin with a strange gaze.
That gaze was very strange.
It was like …
It was like seeing a rare animal in a zoo.
Ross Merlin looked at William Merlin with a puzzled expression, but he couldn't understand the meaning of that gaze. In the end, Ross Merlin could only understand that William Merlin was provoking him.
But at this time, Ross Merlin didn't have time to care about him. He only glanced at him before looking at Lin Yun.
"Moreover, Cousin Mafa, you are managing an alchemy shop in a place like Thousand Sails City where dragons and snakes mingle. I think that I, as a 5th Rank High Mage, should be able to help you a bit. I can promise you that as long as you give me that map, I'll help your Gilded Rose three times."
Ross Merlin said sincerely, but he didn't get the answer he wanted. He suspiciously raised his head, only to discover that the other side's gaze wasn't on him.
Because at this time, the auction had already reached the middle stage, and a Magic Tool was taken out.
"The next item to be auctioned is a damaged Spiritual Magic Tool. This Spiritual Magic Tool is called Black Moon Splendor. According to the appraisal of our Black Horn chamber of commerce, Black Moon Splendor came from the hands of a Master Alchemist of the 3rd Dynasty. It has over two thousand years of history, but because of the long time, Black Moon Splendor has been damaged, making it unable to display its former power. But everyone here should be able to see that the damage to this Spiritual Magic Tool isn't too serious. As long as we invite a Master Alchemist, it can be completely restored. Now, this Black Moon Splendor will be auctioned at the starting price of fifty thousand golds …"
"Cousin Mafa, what do you think of my conditions?" Ross Merlin was one of the three young geniuses of the Merlin Family. He had two peak Spiritual Magic Tools, so he naturally wouldn't be interested in a damaged Spiritual Magic Tool. He only glanced at it before looking at Lin Yun.
"Hold on …" Lin Yun didn't even turn his head as he directly raised his hand. "Eighty thousand golds."
"Cousin Mafa, what do you mean?" Ross Merlin's expression didn't look too good.
'For an insignificant damaged Spiritual Magic Tool, you cast me aside. Isn't this humiliating a 5th Rank High Mage?'
"Let's talk about it later." Lin Yun slightly frowned. Being interrupted by Ross Merlin twice in a row already made him a bit unhappy.
Because to Lin Yun, the transaction Ross Merlin mentioned couldn't compare to this Black Moon Splendor.
They simply weren't on the same level …
The map left behind by Stan Watson could at most satisfy Lin Yun's curiosity, but this damaged Spiritual Magic Tool was very likely to become the first Augment of the Doom Staff.
The Black Moon Splendor itself might not have much value, and even if it was completely repaired, it could only be left unused in Lin Yun's hands. But some of the techniques used were very important to Lin Yun.
Because this damaged Spiritual Magic Tool used a very rare array stacking technique, which was what the Doom Staff needed.
Thus, Lin Yun didn't hesitate to make a bid.
"Two hundred thousand golds." Lin Yun only used three bids to raise the price to two hundred thousand golds.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand golds." At this time, a voice suddenly echoed from the top floor box.
It sounded familiar to Lin Yun, but before he could think about it, he suddenly heard William Merlin cursing. Lin Yun then understood that the bidder should be Salen Charlotte of the Charlotte Family.
"William Merlin, do you think you can fool me by changing to someone else? I'm telling you, as long as it's something you fancy, I'll definitely fight with you!" The top floor boxes were prepared for the big shots of the major forces. The Black Horn chamber of commerce had specially arranged first-rate magic amplification equipment, and when the bid of two hundred and fifty thousand golds came out, Salen Charlotte's arrogant voice could be heard.
"That idiot …" William Merlin was gnashing his teeth.
"Haha, it's nothing …" Lin Yun smiled and raised his hand. "Eight hundred thousand golds."
Lin Yun's bid silenced the entire venue.
At this time, countless gazes fell on Lin Yun. They all wanted to see where this wastrel came from to actually bid 800,000 golds for a damaged Spiritual Magic Tool, an utterly heartless price.
Did he have nowhere to spend his money?
Even a complete Spiritual Magic Tool would be worth this much, not to mention that this was only a damaged Spiritual Magic Tool.
Don't look at the auctioneer's words …
As long as a Master Alchemist was invited, it could be completely repaired.
How could it be so easy to invite a Master Alchemist?
Without two or three hundred thousand golds, which Master Alchemist would be willing to casually make a move?
