"A section?" William Merlin frowned when he heard this.
"Yes, a section of a Meditation Law Set. To be more precise, it's a third of a Meditation Law Set …"
"What's the use of a third?" William Merlin was even more confused when he heard this. Meditation Law Sets were different from incantations. Incantations were usually made up of several modules. If one or two of these modules were obtained, even if they couldn't be used to cast the spell, they could still be used in other spells.
But a Meditation Law Set …
A Meditation Law Set was a complete set. Let alone losing two-thirds, even losing a few characters could cause the Meditation Law Set to fail.
As he thought of this, William Merlin couldn't help looking at Lin Yun with doubt. But after looking at him, William Merlin saw that this younger cousin only nodded, not showing any doubt.
'What's going on …'
William didn't understand. 'Could it be that there really is a Meditation Law Set that can still operate normally after losing two-thirds of its power?'
"The first section of the Elemental Tide?"
"Cousin … Cousin Mafa, y-y-you … How did you know!?" Lin Yun's casual words made Ross stand up, a panicked expression on his face, as if he had been caught stealing something. He couldn't help shaking fiercely as he pointed at Lin Yun with one hand.
"What's so strange about that …" Lin Yun shook his head with a smile. "There are only seventeen Meditation Law Sets that can still work after losing two-thirds, and among them, only three don't conflict with the Endless Spring: the Elemental Tide, the Crimson Storm, and the Blue Moon Aria. The Crimson Storm will definitely cause your eyes to turn red. Your eyes are normal, so it definitely isn't the Crimson Storm. As for the Blue Moon Aria, there's no need to mention it. If you had grasped the Blue Moon Aria, you would have the power of a 9th Rank High Mage and would have already snatched this map from Stan Watson …"
"This …" Ross Merlin stood there in a daze as he listened to Lin Yun 'unhurried analysis. Ross suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. This feeling was too frightening. Relying on a few simple sentences, he revealed his biggest secret. Ross Merlin felt as if he was standing naked in front of this younger cousin, as if he had no secrets at all.
"Okay, let's continue."
"Okay …" Ross Merlin composed himself before continuing, "At that time, my thoughts were similar to William's. I felt that one-third of a Meditation Law Set would be useless. Even if this Meditation Law Set was very powerful, it was only one-third left. Even if it could work normally, what would happen if something went wrong? Just like that, I kept this Meditation Law Set in my hands for two years. During these two years, I tried to break through to the 5th Rank, but after two whole years, I only barely reached the 3rd Rank. At that time, I realized that my talent wasn't enough. Even my teacher tactfully advised me to find another path, but I didn't want to give up, I really didn't want to give up … "
"Yes, I understand …" Lin Yun nodded. Ross Merlin's situation was too similar to Mafa Merlin's back then.
"So, after thinking about it for an entire night, I finally picked up that Meditation Law Set. I decided to take a gamble. If I won, I would smoothly step into the ranks of the 5th Rank, and even have a chance to become a Great Mage. If I lost, there was naturally nothing to say. I might not even be able to learn magic for the rest of my life. At that time, I really gambled everything …"
"And you won …"
"Yes, and I won. In the next few years, I advanced like a hot knife through butter, from a 3rd Rank Mage to a 5th Rank High Mage. It took me less than ten years, and with the help of that Meditation Law Set, I even obtained the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family, the Endless Spring. At that time, I started swollen and complacent, feeling that there wasn't a single genius in Okland more powerful than me. Until I entered the Raging Flame Plane and fought against Stan Watson. I lost miserably and became a laughing stock, but I was truly unwilling. I tried everything to make myself stronger, but Stan Watson's progress was too fast, to the point of despair. In the end, I had no choice but to return to the Paladin Library, and in the end, I found a tattered page in the place where I found that Meditation Law Set …"
"Oh?"
"Through that tattered page, I learned that the Meditation Law Set I studied was called the Elemental Tide. The complete Elemental Tide has thirteen formulas. In all of Noscent, it is a first-rate Meditation Law Set. Once it reaches the large success stage, it will possess unimaginable power. But I only obtained the first stage of the Elemental Tide, that is the most basic part of the Elemental Tide. Moreover, that tattered page mentioned a map that could provide me with clues to the complete Elemental Tide. But that map had already been lost in the endless planes countless years ago …"
"Thus, you started looking for that map?"
"Yes …" Ross nodded. "In the next few years, I actively participated in the Merlin Family's planar expansion. I traveled to a dozen planes, big and small, in order to find the map mentioned in that tattered page. Ultimately, when I helped the Mercury Tower attack the Golden Forest Plane, I found clues to that map in a Dark Elven Temple. It was a diary left behind by an Archmage named Dean. Through that diary, I learned that Sir Dean also studied the Elemental Tide, and the 2nd section of the Elemental Tide. He was just like me, also looking for that map, and he made shocking progress. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to find that map before falling in the Golden Forest Plane. He only left behind a diary, and it was written that the map was most likely in the Raging Flame Plane …"
"No wonder …" Hearing this, William Merlin couldn't help feeling enlightened. "No wonder you kept applying to the Elder Council to participate in the Raging Flame Plane's battle. At that time, we all thought that you wanted to get revenge on Stan Watson, but it turns out that you wanted to look for that map …"
"That's right, I spent a lot of effort to convince the Elder Council, but when I rushed to the Raging Flame Plane, I found out that the map had already been taken away by Stan Watson …"
After saying this, Ross Merlin suddenly bowed towards Lin Yun. "Cousin Mafa, I know that there was some unpleasantness between us. I apologize, but can you let me have that map? Cousin Mafa, you should know that the Elemental Tide can only be learned at the Great Mage realm. If you miss that stage, the Elemental Tide would be a meaningless piece of paper …"
"Elemental Tide?" Lin Yun smiled when he heard this. "That's right, the Elemental Tide is indeed a meaningless piece of paper to me …"
"Thank you, Cousin Mafa." Ross Merlin was overjoyed when he heard this.
"But …"
"Eh?" Ross, who had been pleasantly surprised, suddenly froze. "There is still a 'but'?"
"Yes, the Elemental Tide is indeed a meaningless piece of paper to me, but that map can't be given to you so casually …"
"Why?"
"Are you retarded?" William Merlin was extremely anxious. "Why aren't you thanking Cousin Mafa?"
"Ah?" Ross Merlin was even more confused.
"…" If not for Lin Yun being there, William Merlin would have smashed Ross Merlin's head a few times to see if his head was made of stone.
'Damnit, why are you so retarded?
'Cousin Mafa already made it so clear that the Elemental Tide is meaningless to him. Do you understand what he means by meaningless?
"Damn it, Ross, do you have ears? Cousin Mafa just said that the map is useful to him …"
"But, but …"
"You idiot …" William Merlin didn't know what to say.
'I already said it …
The Elemental Tide is meaningless to Cousin Mafa, but that map is very important. In other words, as long as Cousin Mafa is willing, he can give you the complete Elemental Tide at any time. What else do you want? You don't even need to use your brain to get a complete set of the Elemental Tide, so why are you still dilly-dallying? '
"I'm going to the Mercury Tower tomorrow, and I might stay there for a few days. During this time, you should sort out the first section of the Elemental Tide and see if I can help you complete the 2nd and 3rd sections. Alright, it's getting late, I'm going to rest …"
"Cousin Mafa, that map …" Lin Yun 'silhouette had already disappeared from the 2nd floor. Ross Merlin still wanted to struggle, but fortunately, William Merlin saw that the situation wasn't right and promptly covered his mouth.
"Hey, Ross Merlin, are you really a 5th Rank High Mage?"
"Yeah, 5th Rank High Mage, what about it?"
"Then can you tell me how a retarded person like you became a 5th Rank High Mage …"
"You are the retarded one!"
"If you aren't retarded, why didn't you hear what Cousin Mafa just said? Complete it, complete it, complete the 2nd and 3rd sections of the Elemental Tide! Ross Merlin, what does complete it mean? Don't tell me you don't understand …"
"But the map …" Ross Merlin still wanted to argue, but just as he opened his mouth, he froze. "You are saying that Cousin Mafa will help me complete the Elemental Tide?"
