Aube Merlin was startled.
After all, this feeling hadn't appeared for many years. Every time it appeared, it meant that a great danger was descending.
But …
He was now in the Family's conference hall, participating in the Elder Council as an Elder. The people sitting next to him were all influential figures of the Family, including the Merlin Family's Patriarch, Ofran. In all of Okland, was there a safer place than this?
What kind of danger could descend on him under such circumstances?
Aube Merlin thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything.
'Maybe it's a misconception?
Yes, it must be a misconception … '
While Aube Merlin was comforting himself, Logan's gaze fell on the others.
"Haydn Merlin, this is also an outstanding member of our Merlin Family. A 40-year-old 8th Rank High Mage, his future prospects can be said to be limitless."
"Fullen Merlin, a 45-year-old 9th Rank High Mage, one of the most promising High Mages of our Merlin Family to reach the Archmage realm …"
After Logan Merlin mentioned the names of two Elders, his gaze once again fell on Leon Merlin.
"Also, Leon Merlin, a 30-year-old 7th Rank High Mage, the disciple of the Cloud Tower's Head of the Magic Department, Hogg. Whether it is strength or background, he is completely qualified to manage the Gilded Rose …"
"…" Leon Merlin raised his head with a stunned expression. When he looked at Logan, his eyes almost fell to the ground.
'Logan, you old b * stard, how big of a grudge do you have against me? You want to frame me like this …
'Damnit, don't tell me that you can't see that my neck is about to break? Do you think it's easy for me to hold an Elder Council meeting with my head lowered? 'I'm already doing my best to weaken my presence, yet you still don't want to let me off …'
'Good, good, good …'
Since you're unwilling to let me go, then I won't be courteous with you …
Leon Merlin clenched his teeth and stood up. "Elder Logan, you are too polite. You are a senior elder of the Merlin Family, a person of virtue and prestige and rich experience. You are the best candidate to manage the Gilded Rose!"
Then, he smiled politely at Logan …
"…" Logan was baffled. What was going on? Had Merlin taken the wrong medicine?
Who wouldn't want to be the manager of the Gilded Rose? That was an alchemy monster that was constantly producing huge amounts of wealth …
Think about it …
Tens of millions of golds flowed through his hands. As long as he quietly extended a finger, he would be able to obtain wealth that others couldn't even imagine in their entire lives. Moreover, the Gilded Rose didn't just have wealth. All kinds of advanced technology, all kinds of powerful alchemy items, and all kinds of rare magic materials could be found in the Gilded Rose. Whoever sat in the position of the Gilded Rose's manager would be able to use everything at will.
Who wouldn't want to sit in such a position?
What was going on with Leon Merlin …
Why would he push such a position to his side?
'Could there be some kind of conspiracy?'
'That doesn't seem right …'
'How could there be such a good conspiracy in this world?
'Forget it …'
Logan only thought about it for a bit before making his decision. Even if there was a conspiracy, he would have to take the position of the Gilded Rose's manager first. Leon was supporting him so much, if he didn't take the position, he wouldn't be giving him face.
As he thought of this, Logan no longer hesitated and gave a meaningful glance to the Elders in his faction before shaking his head. "This won't do, this won't do, just Lorraine Merlin's matter is enough to make me feel overwhelmed. I don't have the energy to manage the Gilded Rose, the Elder Council should look for someone more capable …"
"Elder Logan!" An Elder of Logan's faction stood up. "What you said is wrong. Doesn't Loraine Merlin belong to the Merlin Family? I feel that you should make some sacrifices for the benefit of the Merlin Family and put more energy into the Gilded Rose! "
"Yes, Elder Logan, you can't favor one and discriminate against the other!"
"Right, capable people do more work, Elder Logan …"
At this time, the Elders of Logan's faction all stood up and did their best to push him towards the position of the Gilded Rose's manager.
As for Logan …
At first, he resolutely refused, but the more he refused, the less resolute his expression became. In the end, his tone gradually loosened.
"Since that's the case …"
In the end, Logan reluctantly opened his mouth. Just as he was about to agree, Lin Yun suddenly smiled.
"Are there only these few?"
"You … What do you mean!" The group had been putting on a show for a long time, and seeing that they had succeeded, Logan was about to agree when Mafa Merlin stood up. Logan's expression was naturally unsightly.
"Haha, it's nothing, I'm just counting the number of people …" But this time, Lin Yun only chuckled.
Then, a berserk mana fluctuation suddenly spread out.
"What!" The first to bear the brunt was the 40-year-old 8th Rank High Mage, Merlin Salen. He had been sitting in his seat, but as the berserk mana fluctuations spread out, this 8th Rank High Mage staggered and fell to the ground along with his chair.
That mana fluctuation was so shocking.
The sudden outburst in the clan's conference hall was like a mountain torrent and a tsunami. In an instant, the entire clan's conference hall was thrown into chaos …
And it wasn't over …
Then, a bright moon rose behind Lin Yun's head.
Before anyone could understand what was going on, that bright moon blossomed with a bright light. Two gems, one red and one blue, were especially dazzling in that bright light.
"I only want to know what would happen if there was no one to manage the Gilded Rose …"
As soon as Lin Yun said those words, the bright moon behind his head flew out and softly revolved in the air, flashing with a red and a blue light.
Then …
The seventeen Elders of the Merlin Family, as well as Patriarch Ofran, saw a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
The originally berserk mana fluctuations seemed to have reached their peak in an instant, followed by a loud "boom" …
That rising bright moon burst with countless spells in an instant. Frost Spikes, Fire Arrows, Wind Blades, Earth Thorns, Flame Spears, Frost Lances … It was as if countless mages were attacking at the same time. The boundless spells turned into a surging flood of spells.
And the target was that 8th Rank High Mage named Salen.
To be honest, that High Mage Salen's reaction could be considered very fast. When he was overturned by that berserk mana fluctuation, he realized that the situation wasn't good and cast a Mana Shield and a Runic Shield at the same time. He was afraid that the two layers wouldn't be enough, so he chanted an incantation and erected an Ice Wall in front of him.
But …
It was useless, it was completely useless.
Under the terrifying flood of spells, the Ice Wall instantly disappeared, followed by the Mana Shield. The last layer of the Runic Shield only lasted for a second.
In that second, everyone could clearly see that High Mage Salen's expression changed from horror to despair.
In the end, he turned to ashes.
It only took a second for an 8th Rank High Mage to be killed. Lin Yun's fierceness made the entire conference hall go silent.
But Lin Yun acted as if he had done something insignificant. He waved his hand and retrieved the Ten Thousand Spell Theory, a faint smile still on his face. It was as if the one who had just died wasn't an 8th Rank High Mage, but rather an insignificant ant.
"The first one." After saying that, Lin Yun's gaze once again fell on the 45-year-old 9th Rank High Mage, Merlin Link.
"Mafa Merlin, what do you think you are doing!" Logan was stunned, he was startled and angry.
The Merlin Family had been passed down for a millennium, but no one had ever made a move on the Elder Council, let alone directly killing someone in the Elder Council.
This was simply provoking the entire Merlin Family!
No member of the Merlin Family could tolerate this kind of provocation.
After killing Merlin Salen, Lin Yun's gaze once again fell on Merlin Link.
Then, the Ten Thousand Spell Theory appeared once again.
The mana fluctuations in the surroundings instantly became berserk.
As the red and blue lights interweaved, the shadow of death once again shrouded the entire conference hall.
"Mafa Merlin, you are crazy!" Aube Merlin was also panic-stricken.
'Hell, hell, we've gathered so much information before, how come we didn't discover that this Mafa Merlin is a lunatic? This is simply unreasonable. In order to overturn the Elder Council's decision, he actually started a massacre in the conference hall. Is he trying to make the entire Merlin Family his enemy?'
"Stop, stop, Mafa Merlin, you are making the entire Merlin Family your enemy, you won't have a good end …"
But …
No matter how much Aube Merlin shouted, he couldn't stop the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel from bursting once again. The flood of spells almost instantly submerged Link Merlin.
At this time, the entire conference hall was deathly silent.
'This is too frightening …'
'This is simply a lunatic. In a short few minutes, he already killed two Elders. If this continues, wouldn't all seventeen Elders of the Merlin Family die at his hands?'
"How many are left?" Lin Yun was still smiling as his gaze passed through the long conference table and fell on Aube Merlin.
"Fuck!" Aube Merlin shrieked, 'Damnit, how could he find me!'
