Lin Yun didn't believe that the Three Great Mercenary Groups had gathered in the Tulan Mountain Range without any ulterior motives. The Three Great Mercenary Groups would spend over a hundred thousand golds on a single operation. They wouldn't come to a place like the Tulan Mountain Range unless there was something important.
Moreover, why the Tulan Mountain Range?
Lin Yun had always been brooding over this. 'Could it be related to the Gaugass King?'
The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Otherwise, why would the Three Great Mercenary Groups appear in this place at the same time? The Tulan Mountain Range wasn't a scenic resort, and the Three Great Mercenary Groups weren't idling tourists. They definitely had a big scheme for coming here.
After all, the Three Great Mercenary Groups could be said to have dispatched all their elites this time. In the Aurij Mountain Range, Lin Yun had seen the Temple Knights fight against thousands of Frost Wolves and the Wolf King. At that time, the one leading them was a Sword Saint wielding a True Spirit Weapon.
There were Expert Swordsmen, High Mages, and Divine Archers in the group.
The people dispatched by the other two powerful mercenary groups definitely wouldn't be any weaker than the Temple Knights. At the very least, there would be a Vice Leader overseeing them. This way, the Tulan Mountain Range would be very lively. Lin Yun estimated that there would be at least three Archmages or Sword Saints, maybe even more.
But Lin Yun couldn't figure out how the Three Great Mercenary Groups knew about the Gaugass King's secret.
'Could it be …' He suddenly thought of a possibility and Lin Yun's heart twitched. 'They also know that the Gaugass King isn't dead?
How could this be … '
Lin Yun knew all this because Lin Yun came from 30,000 years in the future.
Moreover, even Lin Yun was only guessing.
Lin Yun didn't have any evidence to prove that the Gaugass King wasn't dead.
If not for his conversation with Merlin, Lin Yun wouldn't have been able to confirm this.
How did the Three Great Mercenary Groups know?
This was a bit troublesome.
The Gaugass King's six-formula Meditation Law Set was very important to Lin Yun.
Currently, Lin Yun's greatest shortcoming was his Meditation Law. He had yet to establish a core Meditation Law, so Lin Yun did not dare to break through to a higher realm.
In fact, with Lin Yun's incredible accumulation, he could easily reach the 5th Rank of the High Mage realm, or even higher.
The reason Lin Yun had stopped at the 2nd Rank High Mage realm was because Lin Yun had been doing his utmost to suppress his own rank. The problem of not being able to establish a Core Meditation Law Set made Lin Yun have no choice but to do so.
As long as he obtained that six-formula Meditation Law Set, Lin Yun could step into the 5th Rank of the High Mage realm at any time. If Lin Yun was willing, he could even rush to the Archmage realm within half a year.
From this, it could be seen how important the six-formula Meditation Law Set was to Lin Yun …
Not to mention, this wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that these three Meditation Law Sets, together with the Magic Array, would truly establish Lin Yun's magic foundation, allowing Lin Yun to walk a magic path that no mage had ever walked before or in the future.
Thus, it could be said that Lin Yun was determined to obtain the Meditation Law Set left behind by the Gaugass King. Even if a God blocked Lin Yun's path, Lin Yun would think of a way to slay the God!
Not long after Yilu left, Lin Yun's weariness was swept away and he became bursting with energy. He could sense all the mana fluctuations in the camp. He couldn't help sighing in admiration. They were truly worthy of being one of Okland's Three Great Mercenary Groups, they were a lot more powerful than he had imagined. Just the number of High Mages had reached a frightening level.
Archmages!
At this time, intense mana fluctuations startled Lin Yun. He raised his hand and cast three Mage Eyes. He instantly rushed out of the tent and floated in the air above the valley, observing everything.
There were a dozen people in the center of the camp, and the weakest among them was a 5th Rank High Mage. But this group was divided into three groups. If Lin Yun wasn't wrong, they should be the core members of the Three Great Mercenary Groups. An old man was unremarkable in the crowd. He was bony, but Lin Yun knew that the mana fluctuations of an Archmage were coming from his body.
The red-haired Expert Swordsman Yilu was standing behind this Archmage with a solemn expression.
"Dean, your request isn't too excessive, but you should know that this valley is too narrow. If our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group gives up a part of the living quarters, it might not be enough …" The Archmage squinted as he looked at a Sword Saint not far away.
"Vice Leader Delson …" The middle-aged Sword Saint thought that it wouldn't be too difficult for him to ask for a few more living quarters, but he hadn't expected Vice Leader Delson to tactfully decline without even thinking about it.
The middle-aged Sword Saint was the one who had led the Temple Knights to fight against thousands of Frost Wolves and even killed a Wolf King, Dean. The casualties in that battle were disastrous, to the point that crossing the Traces of Misfortune was extremely strenuous, and the number of members they lost far surpassed that of the other two mercenary groups combined.
The Temple Knights had too many wounded, so they naturally couldn't all be squeezed together. Thus, Dean asked for more living quarters from the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group and the Red Dragon Mercenary Group.
"It's a bit cramped, I really can't …"
On the Red Dragon Mercenary Group's side, a vice-captain came as well. He was a sword saint in his fifties and wore golden armor. His entire body emitted a sharp aura.
Standing behind the Sword Saint was a golden-haired female warrior in her twenties with a fiery figure. She was Anna Achilles, the one who had been entrusted by the Watson Family to escort Stan Watson. But halfway through, a terrifying young mage suddenly appeared and casually killed Stan Watson.
After that incident, Anna Achilles' status plummeted, and she was demoted from Vice Leader to Captain.
The figure of that skinny, pale, cultured, and light-footed young mage lingered in Hannah's mind all this time …
In a short few months, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and she had long since become a 7th Rank Expert Swordsman. But she clearly knew that even with her current strength, she would only be able to live for three seconds in front of that ghost-like young mage.
"Good, good, very good … The Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group and the Red Dragon Mercenary Group are very good!" Dean was extremely angry, he hadn't been as angry as he was now when he met that inhumane young mage three days ago. At this time, the Lightning Bird on his shoulder recklessly emitted lightning, and everyone could clearly feel the frantic mana fluctuations in the surroundings.
No one dared to say anything at this time.
The Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group and the two Vice Leaders of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group looked at each other in dismay.
"I know. The reason why you two are doing this … is all because of the ruins!" Dean suddenly sneered as his gaze swept across the faces of the two Vice Guild Leaders.
"If there were no ruins, would your Temple Knights have come here?" Archmage Delson frowned and angrily said, "Don't tell me that your Temple Knights came to the Tulan Mountain Range from Okland to sightsee …"
"If Sir Dean had said that he was here to sightsee, I might have believed him …" The golden-armored Sword Saint of the Red Dragon Mercenary Group said mockingly, "Dean, our three mercenary groups could have gotten along harmoniously, but you just had to break the last layer of window paper. What's the point …"
"I was wondering why Okland's 1st and 3rd Mercenary Groups rushed to the Tulan Mountain Range as if they had taken an aphrodisiac. It really was for the ruins. They didn't want to give up their space not because it was too crowded, but because they wanted to suppress the Temple Knights, right? "
"Vice Leader Dean, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group isn't as lacking as you think!"
"What's the point of saying this? If your Temple Knights had been stationed in this valley first, wouldn't it have been easy for our two mercenary groups to get more space?"
"F * ck … I'll remember what you and the Red Dragon Mercenary Group did today!" After fiercely cursing, Dean swung his arm and led the core members of the Temple Knights back to camp.
'Shit! Do you think the Temple Knights are easy to bully?
I'll teach you a lesson later! '
Dean cursed along the way and only stopped when he returned to the camp.
Okland's Three Great Mercenary Groups gathering in the Tulan Mountain Range wasn't without reason. It was related to the ruins. Coincidentally, the three mercenary groups had obtained some clues about the ruins and rushed to the Tulan Mountain Range.
The three mercenary groups looked amiable on the surface, but Dean clearly understood their relationship. As the top three mercenary groups of Okland, they were always secretly competing against each other. If the ruins of the Tulan Mountain Range fell into the hands of one of the mercenary groups, that mercenary group's strength would inevitably take a huge leap and they would stand out in Okland in the future.
From this small matter, it could be seen that it wouldn't be long before the three mercenary groups shed all pretenses of cordiality and started suppressing each other.
After experiencing the fierce battle in the Aurij Mountain Range, as well as the dangerous Traces of Misfortune, the Temple Knights had suffered disastrous losses. Their overall strength was a lot weaker than the other two mercenary groups.
"Delson, Sussman, you definitely won't be able to guess that although the Temple Knights lost many members, their overall strength isn't as bad as you think …"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Dean's mouth as he looked at the four tents in the corner of the camp from time to time. A Beastman and three mages were living there, especially the Beastman.
This was especially true for the Beastmen. Without his help, the Temple Knights would have suffered even greater losses when they crossed the Traces of Misfortune. He had seen every battle of the Beastman and was almost certain that Expert Swordsmen under the 9th Rank wouldn't be able to gain the slightest advantage against that Beastman.
This was frightening …
After all, the Beastman was a 6th Rank Expert Swordsman.
