"…" Lin Yun was baffled. 'What do you mean we meet again?'
At this time, Lin Yun really wanted to remind Sir Ryan that this was the first time they met.
Moreover …
It had only been a month since he returned to the Merlin Family. Let alone making any contributions, his presence was still very weak. It was only a Bloodline Ceremony, yet he had to sacrifice Stan Watson's life. It could be said that apart from Ross and William, he had no foundation in the Merlin Family.
Under such circumstances, how could the ancestors of the Ancestral Land give him the authority to command the Planar Legion?
How could they be so at ease with him?
Lin Yun thought about it but couldn't understand.
Lin Yun didn't even notice that after the old man's words, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange. Everyone was looking at him with strange expressions, some were astonished, some were envious, and some even had a subtle hint of jealousy.
Yes, everyone …
Including Ofran and Thorne Merlin, everyone was looking at Lin Yun with strange expressions.
Because no one had expected Sir Ryan from the Ancestral Land to speak to him with such an attitude.
After all, this person had caused trouble in the Elder Council, killing three of the four Elders and seriously injuring one. This was something that had never happened in the history of the Merlin Family. This was a true scandal. No force could tolerate such a thing. Even the weakest force would do everything in their power to kill this troublemaker when faced with this kind of provocation.
It was impossible to compromise.
But now …
After learning about this, Sir Ryan from the Ancestral Land casually advised, 'Youngsters shouldn't be too impulsive.'
'Hell, how could it be that youngsters shouldn't be too impulsive?'
Everyone felt like they were about to go crazy when they heard that.
'This is too illogical …'
Did something go wrong in the middle of this …?
'Could it be …' At this time, Ofran was suddenly startled.
Previously, Ofran had been wondering what kind of background this young High Mage had. At that time, Ofran felt that it might be the Cloud Tower, or the Black Tower …
But now, Ofran suddenly realized that this young High Mage's background might be even more frightening than he had thought.
Ofran clearly remembered what Sir Leon had said. 'We meet again so soon …'
'Yes, that's what Sir Ryan said back then …'
There didn't seem to be anything special about this sentence. Other than proving that the two of them had met before, there wasn't any other information.
But Ofran didn't think so …
Because Sir Ryan's attitude was a bit too lenient. He only advised the young High Mage not to be so impulsive before giving him the command of half of the Planar Legion.
What kind of concept was that …
This was already a blatant show of favoritism, completely without any concealment …
More importantly, Ofran suddenly recalled the true reason why this young High Mage returned to the Merlin Family.
In the entire Merlin Family, only Ofran and William Merlin knew that this young High Mage, who was actually the ruler of Thousand Sails City, was willing to return to the Merlin Family because he wanted to enter the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land.
In the past, Ofran thought that this was because this young High Mage longed for his identity to be recognized.
But now, Ofran didn't dare to think that way.
On one side was the young High Mage longing to enter the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land, and on the other side was Sir Ryan, who wasn't hiding his favoritism. Moreover, even if Ofran's reaction was slow, he knew that there had to be some incredible secret behind this.
'Could it be …'
'Mafa Merlin's background isn't the Cloud Tower, nor is it the Black Tower, but rather the Ancestral Land shrouded in clouds?'
This sudden thought gave Ofran a fright. If that was really the case, then today's Elder's Assembly would really be a joke!
How could Logan and Aube Merlin have thought that the young High Mage they wanted to rob had such a shocking background …
As he thought about it, Ofran's complexion gradually turned pale. Beads of cold sweat began to drip down his forehead and fall to the ground.
"Alright, I have already said what I wanted to say. Three months later, the Watson Family will send someone to contact you. As for how the relationship between the Merlin Family and the Watson Family will be handled after we capture Blaze City, you can decide for yourselves. Do what needs to be done, don't be affected by this temporary cooperation." After saying that, the old man didn't greet anyone and directly turned to leave. But before leaving, he looked back at Lin Yun and said, "Oh right, Mafa Merlin, if you have time in the next two months, you should make a trip to the Ancestral Land. There is an old guy waiting to see you there."
"…" The group stood there in a daze as they watched the old man's silhouette gradually fade away. No one made a sound.
After a long time, Ofran let out a dry cough and said, "Gentlemen, how about we end this fight here?"
"I have no objections …" Lin Yun had an indifferent expression. To be honest, Thorne Merlin's strength was beyond Lin Yun 'expectations. Lin Yun didn't have the slightest advantage in the fight. There was no point in continuing this fight.
Naturally, if Lin Yun wanted to win, it wasn't that there was no way, but the price would be too high and it wouldn't be worth it.
"Hmph!" Thorne Merlin coldly snorted and put the Crimson Flame Sword on his back. He picked up Aube Merlin, who had already recovered a bit, and left the battlefield.
"Alright, alright, it finally ended peacefully." Ofran let out a sigh of relief as he watched Thorne Merlin and his son leave. Then, he turned to the others and said, "This … I personally believe that today's matter isn't very glorious for the Merlin Family, so I suggest that you don't casually leak it out. Otherwise, it might make Sir Ryan unhappy …"
"…" Hearing this, the group of Elders were dumbstruck. Fuck, four Elders, three dead, and one seriously injured. Even the Planar Legion Commander, Thorne Merlin, jumped out to fight. How could this be considered a peaceful ending?
Wasn't this a bit too peaceful …
However, even though the elders were cursing in their hearts, they didn't dare to be negligent with their words. They agreed to Ofran's requests one after another.
"Of course, of course …"
"We definitely won't leak it, we definitely won't …"
"Rest assured, Patriarch Ofran, we won't leak it!"
…
To be able to sit in the position of an elder, which one of them was a true idiot?
Since Sir Ryan came out, who would dare to leak it? Wouldn't they be tired of living?
At this point, the farce was finally over.
Lin Yun put away the three True Spirit Magic Tools and called over Ross Merlin. Just as he was about to return, he suddenly discovered that Leon Merlin had followed them.
"Leon Merlin, why are you following us?" Ross Merlin was annoyed.
Originally, there were three contenders for the Merlin Family's next Patriarch position: Ross Merlin, Leon Merlin, and Aube Merlin. Now that Aube Merlin's Mana Whirlpool had been pierced by Lin Yun, he directly fell from a 5th Rank High Mage to a cripple. In other words, the only ones qualified to compete for the position of Patriarch were Ross Merlin and Leon Merlin.
In other words, the two were direct competitors from now on.
With this kind of relationship, how could Ross let him follow? If he obtained some support from Mafa Merlin, wouldn't the position of Patriarch that he was about to obtain fly away?
"Hey, Leon Merlin, the Elder Council's meeting is over, we should go back now. Why are you following us? Do you want to eat dinner with us?" Ross Merlin rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a solution. He squeezed out a mocking smile on the spot.
The two were both young geniuses of the Merlin Family and had often come into contact with each other. How could Ross Merlin not know that Leon Merlin, who came from the Cloud Tower, had always been proud and arrogant, he simply couldn't stand being scolded.
Ross Merlin's mocking smile was precisely because of this.
But …
This time, Ross Merlin miscalculated.
Leon, who had always been proud and arrogant, didn't seem to have any intention of becoming hostile after being ridiculed by Ross. Instead, he shamelessly revealed a fawning smile. "Of course we have to have dinner. I haven't seen Cousin Mafa for so long, we definitely have to have dinner together. It's settled, I'll treat you tonight, no one can steal from me. Let's go, Cousin Mafa, I know a few good restaurants outside the Merlin Manor …"
As he said that, he dragged Lin Yun away without saying a word.
"…" Ross Merlin was dumbstruck. He hadn't expected that the proud Leon Merlin would actually fall so quickly.
'Didn't he have some disagreements with Cousin Merlin when he went to Thousand Sails City? How come he suddenly became so enthusiastic? Did he accidentally injure his head a few months ago in the Pale Plane?
'No, I have to call William Merlin. William Merlin was in Thousand Sails City back then, he definitely knows how Leon Merlin offended Cousin Merlin …'
In the evening, Leon Merlin treated the four youths to a restaurant outside the Merlin Manor. As they ate, the news of today's Elder Council gradually spread among the higher-ups of the Merlin Family.
