At first, Lin Yun had planned to use the historical Doom Staff as a reference.
Lin Yun had done a very thorough research on that Doom Staff, and the more he researched, the more he felt that the creator of that Doom Staff had already reached a very high level in the field of alchemy. The path of that historical Doom Staff was actually very simple.
But it was also because it was simple that it was crude.
In history, the Doom Staff could infinitely strengthen one's casting ability, strengthening it to the limit. Once it reached that level, the Doom Staff would naturally become the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool in the world. A mage holding the Doom Staff would be able to ignore the casting difficulty of all spells in the world. Any spell could be said to be at their fingertips, and they could even instantaneously cast spells of the same level with a slightly lower difficulty.
Moreover, this wasn't the most frightening part. The most frightening part was that the Doom Staff's Magic Tool Incarnation also had unparalleled casting ability. Just think about it, how frightening would it be if two opponents with abnormal casting abilities appeared in a battle?
In those days, that Heaven Rank powerhouse of the Cloud Tower could be said to be unequalled in the Heaven Rank when he held the Doom Staff. He swept through one plane after another and defeated one enemy after another. Some people even said that even if that Heaven Rank powerhouse had been unfortunate enough to be born in Sandro and Charlie's era, he might not have been able to compare to those two powerhouses.
To be honest, Lin Yun really wanted to duplicate that Doom Staff at the start.
Moreover, there was no difficulty in duplicating that Doom Staff.
In that spacious decaying library, Lin Yun had read countless materials related to the Doom Staff and remembered every detail. If Lin Yun was given enough magic materials, Lin Yun would be able to duplicate the strongest Magic Tool within a month.
But …
When Lin Yun entered the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land and watched that ancient war during the Bloodline Ceremony, a daring idea suddenly appeared in Lin Yun's mind.
Why was the Doom Staff the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool?
Why can't the Doom Staff break through its limits? Why can't the Doom Staff complete its Extraordinary transformation?
Once this thought appeared, it immediately became unstoppable.
Indeed, the Doom Staff used a Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal as its core, and the frightening carrying capacity of the Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal allowed the Doom Staff to have as many as 28 Augments. It could be said that this frightening carrying capacity in itself meant unlimited possibilities.
Especially after today's great harvest at the auction, Lin Yun finally decided to give it a try …
If he succeeded, the six Augments would make the Doom Staff reach True Spirit rank. At that time, the remaining twenty-two Augments would give him a 60% chance of making the Doom Staff undergo an Extraordinary transformation.
Of course, if he failed, there was nothing to say …
But even if he failed, he wouldn't lose anything. At most, he would have to give up on his previous idea and return to the path of plagiarism. In any case, the carrying capacity of 28 Augments was already destined to be the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool.
But breaking away from the shackles of the Doom Staff in history and reconstructing a Magic Tool that had the opportunity to complete the Extraordinary transformation wasn't a simple task.
Even someone like Lin Yun, whose knowledge surpassed the entire era, only had a rough idea of what was going on.
Since it was a brand new Doom Staff, it would naturally be built around the Magic Array, because the Magic Array was his foundation, it was the foundation of his magic path.
With this general idea in mind, the next step was the concrete processing plan for the six magic materials.
To be honest, this was a very taxing matter. Each of the six magic materials was a treasure, and if they were used to make Augments, it could be said that there was no room for error. Lin Yun had to carefully consider every possibility and every detail before he dared to decide on a concrete processing plan.
The group of three left the auction hall and called a carriage to rush to the Merlin Family Manor. On the way, Lin Yun was thinking about the processing plan for the six magic materials, so he didn't say anything.
William Merlin had always followed Lin Yun's lead, so if Lin Yun didn't say anything, he would naturally stay silent.
Only Ross Merlin …
On the way, Ross Merlin wanted to say something several times, but because of the silence of the other two, he swallowed his words. But his heart was as complicated as it could be.
Indeed, this was Ross Merlin's current mood. He wished he could solve all his doubts in one go.
The previous auction had been a subversive event for Ross Merlin.
Originally, in Ross Merlin's mind, this distant cousin of his, Mafa Merlin, only ran some alchemy businesses and had a decent amount of wealth in his hands.
At first, Ross Merlin heard people say that Ofran had recalled an alchemy merchant from Thousand Sails City to the Merlin Family, to which Ross Merlin had disdainfully said a few words.
In Ross Merlin's eyes, if the Merlin Family needed wealth, they could obtain it from planar colonization. In the past few years, the Merlin Family's investment in the Raging Flame Plane hadn't satisfied Ross Merlin. As one of Okland's two great families, their profits in the Raging Flame Plane were only about the same as the Charlotte Family.
Recalling a child of the Merlin Family because of money was a degenerate act in Ross Merlin's eyes.
It could be said that at the time, Ross Merlin simply didn't care about this distant cousin.
On the first day the other side returned to the family, Ross Merlin sent people to look for trouble.
On the surface, it looked like Ross Merlin was extorting the other side, but in reality, Ross Merlin was using this method to express his dissatisfaction with the family.
But he hadn't expected that after this encounter, things would happen one after another.
First, he was defeated by William Merlin in a fair fight, then Stan Watson unexpectedly died, and now, there was this outrageous auction.
Ross Merlin suddenly discovered that this distant cousin who had suddenly returned to the Merlin Family was far more frightening than he had imagined.
It wasn't just a huge amount of wealth.
At the same time, he might be extremely powerful.
Otherwise, how could he control that terrifying flame?
Ross Merlin even wondered if the young mage Anna had mentioned was actually this distant cousin.
Thinking of this, Ross Merlin suddenly felt a bit scared.
If that was the case, then didn't everything he had done before mean that he had walked back and forth on the edge of death several times?
He hoped that this wasn't true.
As he thought of this, Ross Merlin sat next to this distant cousin in the carriage, feeling as if he was sitting next to a stove. At this time, Ross Merlin only hoped that the carriage would quickly return to the Merlin Family Manor and quickly leave this distant cousin who was hiding countless secrets.
Ross Merlin even wanted to give up on that map.
But …
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Ross frowned and pushed the carriage door open, only to see the coachman throwing away his horsewhip while covering his head with his hands as he quickly fled.
Ross Merlin was stunned at first, before feeling a chill. Ross Merlin then saw four people standing two hundred meters away.
Hanson Charlotte!
There was also a mage and two archers …
And the chill that Ross Merlin felt came from these two archers.
Ross Merlin had been fighting in every major plane for many years, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a seasoned veteran. His sense of danger was like an instinct. Looking at those two archers, Ross Merlin knew that they were at least 5th Rank Phantom Archers.
At this time, the two Phantom Archers had already nocked their arrows, and the arrowheads were emitting a faint blue light under the sunlight. There was also a faintly discernible sweet smell in the air.
This was a sign that it was dipped in poison …
This discovery made Ross Merlin's heart sink. As a veteran 5th Rank High Mage, how could Ross Merlin not understand how frightening two Phantom Archers with poison on their arrowheads were?
This meant that they would do anything to kill their enemies. To them, reputation and dignity were far less important than killing their enemies.
This kind of opponent was undoubtedly the most frightening.
Not to mention …
There were two mages standing next to these two archers.
There was no need to mention Hanson Charlotte. He was an old High Mage of Okland, and he had already become a 9th Rank High Mage ten years ago. Although he hadn't stepped into the Archmage realm in the past ten years, that didn't mean that he was a pushover. On the contrary, Hanson Charlotte, who had been stuck at the 9th Rank for ten years, was more frightening than most 9th Rank High Mages.
And there was another High Mage that was at least 5th Rank …
This was already a very shocking combination. Two 5th Rank Phantom Archers, as well as a 5th Rank High Mage, and Hanson Charlotte didn't even need to make a move. The power of this combination had already reached a very frightening level.
Ross Merlin's heart sank.
The two Phantom Archers were already aiming their arrows at the carriage. Although the other High Mage didn't say anything, he was tightly holding his magic staff. Ross Merlin knew that this was the most suitable posture for casting.
"Hanson Charlotte, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Hanson Charlotte walked over from behind, his expression frighteningly gloomy. "Do you really think you can take away the Star Gem?"
