"This won't do, I have to go look for Patriarch Ofran!" William Merlin suddenly stood up.
Back then, in order to get Lin Yun to return to the Merlin Family, Patriarch Ofran had offered many generous conditions. William Merlin, as the bridge between them, could be said to have participated in the entire process. To be honest, the conditions Patriarch Ofran had offered were quite generous. Some of the conditions even made William Merlin secretly envious.
But as Lin Yun returned to the Merlin Family, the conditions Patriarch Ofran had agreed to gradually changed. First was the matter of entering the Ancestral Land. William Merlin was still brooding over it. He had agreed at first, but after the person returned, he had to bring up some contribution to the Family. Fortunately, it was his cousin. If it had been anyone else, just assassinating Stan Watson would have been enough to kill them.
After that matter, William Merlin had been somewhat dissatisfied with the Family, but because Lin Yun hadn't said anything, William Merlin had endured it.
But he hadn't expected that such a thing would happen so soon.
This was a bit excessive.
William Merlin now wanted to ask Patriarch Ofran if the conditions he had agreed to were still valid.
"Haha, this matter definitely has nothing to do with Patriarch Ofran …" Ross Merlin, who was sitting next to him, shook his head. "You know Patriarch Ofran's style, he is always on the soft side. With his nature, even if he covets the Gilded Rose, he would inevitably use a more moderate method. For example, using feelings or something else to convince Cousin Ofran to establish a cooperative relationship. With the current strength of the Gilded Rose, as long as the cooperation deepened a bit, the alchemy level of the Merlin Family would rise by a level …"
"The only ones who want to annex the Gilded Rose are those narrow-minded old guys of the Elder Council. I dare to bet that those old guys simply don't know that the Gilded Rose has already monopolized the entire eastern part of the kingdom. They simply don't understand that the Merlin Family wants to annex the Gilded Rose, but they might end up dying if they aren't careful …"
"Then Patriarch Ofran is going to just watch?"
"It can't be helped. It's not like you don't know how much power the Elder Council of the Merlin Family has. It can be said that the Elder Council is simply above the Patriarch. Furthermore, that person from the Ancestral Land has spared no effort in supporting the Elder Council over the past 100 years. Patriarch Ofran is actually in a difficult position."
"But …"
"That's enough, Cousin Merlin …" Lin Yun shook his head and stopped William Merlin, who was still unconvinced.
To Lin Yun, the covetousness of the Elder Council wasn't unexpected.
As early as the Black Horn Auction, Lin Yun had already thought that this huge amount of wealth might make some people envious.
The Elder Council's reaction was actually very normal.
But Lin Yun hadn't expected that this would actually involve the Ancestral Land.
But it didn't matter.
In any case, he had already completed the Bloodline Ceremony in the Ancestral Land and fused his ten Magic Arrays into one. His identity as a child of the Merlin Family was truly dispensable. It would be fine if those old guys of the Elder Council were a bit more polite, but if it was as Ross Merlin said and they really wanted to snatch the Gilded Rose from his hands, then they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun no longer worried about this matter. He only picked up the Meditation Law Set that Ross Merlin had organized and started reading it with full concentration.
To be honest, the first section of the Elemental Tide wasn't complicated. In Lin Yun's eyes, it could even be described as superficial. Lin Yun spent less than half an hour to analyze the entire first section of the Elemental Tide. After making sure that he hadn't missed anything, Lin Yun thought for a bit before spreading out a piece of paper on the table.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish …"
The room was very quiet, only the sound of the quill scratching the paper could be heard.
At this time, whether it was William Merlin or Ross Merlin, they both held their breaths and sat there motionlessly, not daring to disturb or ask anything. The two just watched as Lin Yun wrote on the piece of paper. They watched as the originally blank piece of paper was filled with numerous characters.
After an hour, Lin Yun finished the second section of the Elemental Tide.
"Phew …" Lin Yun let out a long sigh and stretched his arms, which had become sore from writing for a long time, before starting to prepare for the third section of the Elemental Tide.
To Lin Yun, the second section of the Elemental Tide was only the beginning. What truly made Lin Yun feel difficult was the third section of the Elemental Tide. That was the essence of the entire Elemental Tide. After all, that was a Meditation Law Set with thirteen formulas. Even if Lin Yun had magic knowledge that surpassed the entire era, he would still have to spend a lot of effort to truly deduce it.
Lin Yun put down the quill in his hand and took a sip of water from the cup next to him.
"Cousin Mafa, how … How is it?" Ross Merlin only dared to speak at this time, but his voice was hoarse compared to usual.
This was normal …
To William Merlin, the Elemental Tide Meditation Law Set was directly related to his future magic path. If he could successfully complete it, his future would be boundless. Not to mention becoming an Archmage, he might even be able to reach the Heaven Rank within a hundred years. But if he couldn't complete it, then there was no need to say anything else. 5th Rank High Mage was already his limit. Even taking another step forward would be extremely difficult.
This was too important …
Lin Yun looked at the completed 2nd section of the Elemental Tide for about ten minutes before saying, "I need some time …"
"Really?" Ross Merlin had been working hard for the complete Elemental Tide for almost ten years ever since he obtained the first section of the Elemental Tide. One plane after another, one clue after another. There were many times when Ross Merlin thought that he had no chance, especially when that map fell into Stan Watson's hands. At that time, Ross Merlin truly despaired.
To be honest, Ross Merlin truly hadn't expected that things would develop in such a dramatic manner. The complete Elemental Tide that he had lost all hope of completing was suddenly so close to him. It felt as if he could touch it with just a stretch of his hand.
When Ross Merlin heard his unfathomable cousin say that he needed some time, Ross Merlin's first reaction was disbelief.
That feeling was like walking on the street and suddenly being hit by a pile of gold coins.
"Yes." Lin Yun nodded and estimated the time. "If you have something to do, you should go ahead and come back at night …"
"No, no, no, I'm here, I'm here …" How could Ross Merlin leave at this critical juncture?
No matter how important the matter was, he had to wait until the Elemental Tide was completed …
"Alright then …" Lin Yun understood that Ross Merlin was definitely in a hurry and couldn't stay calm, so he didn't force him. He only turned to William Merlin and said, "I see that your Crimson Heart has made great progress recently. How about you find a place to compare notes with Cousin Ross?"
"How could I do that, I usually don't bully others …" William Merlin looked at Ross Merlin with a provocative expression.
"It's hard to say who will be the bully!" Ross Merlin's expression sank. The two could be considered on the same side now, but their relationship hadn't improved. One was brooding over his sister's death, while the other was still thinking about his failure a few days ago. Now that Lin Yun suggested for them to compare notes, both William Merlin and Merlin looked eager.
"Hurry up and go, don't be so long-winded …" Lin Yun waved his hand to drive the two away before focusing on the third section of the Elemental Tide.
The third section of the Elemental Tide was far more complicated than the previous two sections. Lin Yun used two hours to only complete one-third, and this one-third was the most insignificant part of the entire third section.
But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry.
The completed Elemental Tide contained thirteen formulas. In all of Noscent, it could be considered a first-rate Meditation Law Set. Even if he had magic knowledge that surpassed the entire era, even if he had the omnipotent Magic Array, deducing the entire Elemental Tide from nothing wasn't something that could be done just because he said so.
In the quiet room, only the sound of the quill's tip moving across the paper could be heard. 'Swish, swish, swish, swish', it sounded like it had a unique rhythm. On the desk next to Lin Yun, there was already a thick stack of paper filled with numerous characters and formulas.
The sky gradually darkened.
Lin Yun put down the cup of water in his hand. After massaging his forehead, he finally stopped spreading the paper. At this time, the thirteen formulas of the Elemental Tide had been completed, and only some finishing touches were left. What Lin Yun needed to do now was to optimize the existing thirteen formulas as much as possible so that the complete Elemental Tide could be easily grasped by Ross Merlin.
"Is Mafa Merlin here?" But at this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun suddenly frowned. His work was about to be completed, but he was suddenly disturbed. Let alone Lin Yun, anyone else wouldn't be in a good mood.
"Mafa Merlin, come out, I have something to discuss with you!" The person outside the door knocked a few times, but there was no response, so he raised his voice.
Lin Yun helplessly shook his head. He knew that the other side wouldn't leave so easily, so he could only sigh and say, "Come in …"
