The battle that lasted more than four hours slowly came to an end. Although the three mercenary groups were in a very sorry state and had lost some members, they had also obtained a lot of spoils of war. The magic materials and mana crystals from the magic beasts were all divided up by the three mercenary groups.
Then, they rested in the camp.
"Damned Mafa Merlin, he actually dared to steal the Wyvern King's Blood! Unforgivable!"
An aged silhouette walked out of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's camp, cursing as he walked towards the Temple Knights' camp.
The Wyvern King's Blood was the magic material he yearned for day and night. When he heard Delson say that the Wyvern King had appeared that night, he was extremely excited. But after his excitement, a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
All the magic materials on the Wyvern King's body had disappeared!
Olaro was extremely angry and almost quarreled with Delson.
Although a few days had passed, Olaro was still brooding over this matter. He even had some conflicts with Delson, the 1st Vice Leader. This was all caused by the Wyvern King's Blood.
But today, he accidentally found out that a 2nd Rank High Mage had stolen the Wyvern King's Blood. This news made him both excited and angry. He was excited because he finally found the whereabouts of the Wyvern King's Blood, but he was angry because, 'Damnit, an insignificant High Mage actually dares to touch my things!'
It was to the point that he had been absent-minded during the battle in the afternoon. His mind was filled with thoughts of the Wyvern King's Blood and he ended up suffering a small injury.
After the three mercenary groups cleaned up the battlefield and rested in the camp, he anxiously rushed over to the Temple Knights. No matter what, he had to find that scoundrel Mafa Merlin and take back the Wyvern King's Blood … If Mafa Merlin was tactful and took the initiative to hand it over, he might be able to spare his life if he was in a good mood.
"Olaro, how come you are here?"
Just as he arrived at the Temple Knights' camp, Olaro was stopped by a familiar voice. He turned around and saw that it was the Temple Knights' Vice Leader, Dean.
"I'm looking for someone …"
"Looking for someone? You came to our camp to look for someone? Who are you looking for? " Dean immediately became cautious, and the smile on his face turned into a cold sneer. He could naturally tell that Olaro had come with ill intentions, especially from that faint, cold aura.
Although the three great mercenary groups had chosen to work together and advance toward the Tulan Mountains, this was only a cooperation based on mutual benefits. If Olaro wanted to cause trouble for the Holy Knights, Dean would be the first to object.
"Look at what your Templar Mercenary Group has done! You actually took in a greedy thief … "Olaro was on the verge of exploding in anger." Dean, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Mafa Merlin isn't a member of your Templar Mercenary Group. I want to take back what belongs to me from him! "
"Wait, wait … Sir Olaro, you mean Mafa Merlin?" Dean's expression was extremely marvelous, and he almost laughed. He had just heard from Yema that the Dark Flame Beastman's mage friend had been brought to the camp. He had just been thinking of a way to drive away that damned Mafa Merlin …
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a good way. Mafa Merlin was the Dark Flame Beastman's friend. If he drove Mafa Merlin away, it would be hard to guarantee that the Dark Flame Beastman wouldn't be happy.
Would the Dark Flame Beastman still stay in the Temple Knights?
As he was thinking, he saw Olaro arrive. When Olaro mentioned Mafa Merlin's name, Dean knew that Mafa Merlin was truly out of luck.
He knew Olaro's temper, he was even more fiery than Dean's.
"What? You know Mafa Merlin?" Olaro looked at Dean and flew into a rage. "I'll tell you the truth, I definitely won't forgive Mafa Merlin … Do you know what that scoundrel did? He … He actually stole the Wyvern King's Blood! How could I tolerate it? Such a precious magic material in his hands is a blasphemy against alchemy!"
"That … Sir Olaro …"
"Dean, you want to plead for leniency for Mafa Merlin?" Olaro's tone was calm and cold, without a trace of emotion. Just these words made a Sword Saint like Dean feel a chill down his spine.
"Sir Olaro, don't misunderstand … What I meant was that Mafa Merlin is still young, it's not unforgivable for him to make a mistake in a moment of passion. "You see, Mafa Merlin is a guest of our Temple Knights. Sir Olaro, after you take back the Wyvern King's Blood, you can teach him a lesson. Consider it giving me some face, don't be too heavy handed …"
Dean was rejoicing in Lin Yun's misfortune, he was beaming with joy. He didn't look like he was pleading for leniency for Lin Yun at all. It was as if he was telling Olaro to quickly beat that scoundrel Mafa Merlin to death. "How about … I break his legs?"
"…"
Olaro looked at Dean with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything. The two then stopped in front of a living quarters. Dean stayed outside while Olaro went in by himself.
"Mafa Merlin …"
'Archmage!'
The arrival of the uninvited guest made Lin Yun frown. This was a bony old man in his seventies. He was emitting a cold aura, and from his mana fluctuations, he should be a 2nd Rank Archmage.
"You are Mafa Merlin?" After entering the living quarters, Olaro discovered that there were four young mages and one Beastman. But he had seen the recording of Orson's water spell and recognized Lin Yun with a glance.
"Yes, may I ask who you are …"
"I am Orson's teacher, as well as the Vice Leader of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, Olaro."
"Sir Olaro, what business do you have with me?"
"Mafa Merlin, don't play dumb!" In a flash, Olaro pointed at Lin Yun and angrily roared, "Orson told me everything. Mafa Merlin, you are truly courageous, you actually dared to steal the loot of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group! Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one chance, take out the Wyvern King Blood … "
'Mafa Merlin really doesn't know what's good for him …'
'I already said it so clearly, yet he is still playing dumb.'
'It looks like breaking his legs isn't enough …'
The atmosphere in the living quarters suddenly became strange. The Draconic Beastman and the three Merlin brothers looked at each other in dismay, especially the Draconic Beastman, who was looking at Olaro in shock.
'This old man is courting death …
'You think you can take advantage of Sir Merlin?
'Damnit, Sir Xiuban has been with Sir Merlin for so long, yet he has never seen anyone take advantage of Sir Merlin. You are an old man who isn't enjoying your old age at home, yet you are jumping around in front of Sir Merlin, this is purely courting death!
'Your disciple Orson likes to court death, and you, as his teacher, also likes to court death … Shit! Do the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group know that you and your disciple are courting death?
"Sir Olaro, that …" Lin Yun hesitated as he looked at Olaro. After thinking for a bit, he said, "I can't take out the Wyvern King Blood even if I wanted to. Look, I still have the Wyvern King Skin, how about I sell it to you?"
"Sir, you said you would help me make a set of leather armor …" The Draconic Beastman looked at Lin Yun with hidden bitterness as he reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh … I almost forgot." Lin Yun patted his head and awkwardly looked at Olaro. "Apart from that set of leather armor, there might still be some left. How about this, Sir Olaro, the remaining leather can be made into a pair of leather boots, are you interested?"
'Leather boots?
Olaro almost spat blood. He really wanted to personally ask Mafa Merlin if he could understand human language … Damnit, I don't need leather boots!
I want the Wyvern King Blood!
You can't take out the Wyvern King Blood? How could you not take it out? That scoundrel Mafa Merlin couldn't have drunk it, could he? Even if he drank it, he would spit it out …
"Mafa Merlin, hurry up and put away your pitiful little tricks … Do you think that I can't do anything to you in the Temple Knights' camp?" Olaro looked at Lin Yun with disdain.
This youth was truly ignorant.
If he knew that the Temple Knights' Vice Leader Dean had already compromised with him and was waiting outside the living quarters, not planning to get involved in this matter, would he be scared to tears?
Facing the anger of an Archmage, even if a mere 2nd Rank High Mage didn't cry, he would be scared silly.
"This is your last chance. If you don't cherish it and quickly take out the Wyvern King's blood, I don't care where you are. You'll become an ice-cold corpse in 10 seconds at most …"
"That … Sir Olaro, can I say something?"
Leon Merlin struggled in his heart for a long time. He felt that if he didn't say something, the misunderstanding would become even bigger … In fact, whether it was Orson or Olaro, Leon Merlin didn't care about their lives.
But he clearly understood his younger cousin's methods. He was a ruthless character that even dared to kill an Elder of the Family … Why would he kill an Elder of the Family?
Wasn't it because those Elders wanted to snatch Mafa Merlin's Gilded Rose?
The Wyvern King was killed by Mafa Merlin, and he took what he deserved, but Olaro said that he stole the loot of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group. Ridiculous …
If Olaro wanted to snatch it, he would follow in the footsteps of Logan and the other Elders sooner or later.
This was what Leon Merlin was worried about. Would the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group break off relations with the Merlin Family because of a Vice Leader? It would be terrible if that really happened. After all, that was the number one mercenary force of Okland that couldn't be underestimated.
As he thought of this, Leon Merlin was scared out of his wits.
"Shut up!"
Olaro glanced at the person who spoke and coldly said, "Leon Merlin, who gave you the right to interrupt when I was speaking? Even your Merlin Family's Patriarch Ofran wouldn't interrupt when I was speaking … "
