Naturally, what people looked forward to the most was the battle between Wayte and Bane. It was said that the battle took place in a certain plane, but after that battle, Wayte and Bane both disappeared. Some people guessed that the two evenly matched opponents had already perished together, while others said that the battle was too intense and they had carelessly fallen into the depths of the endless plane.
In that era, all kinds of conjectures emerged one after another. In the end, the greatly weakened Ivory Tower and the Starry Sky College could only helplessly stop the battle and announce the deaths of Bane and Wayte.
Even after a few hundred years, many mages in Noscent would still mention that battle. Nothing could be done about it, as Bane and Wayte, the two peak powerhouses of that era, had too much influence.
Unfortunately, after that battle, the Book of Death and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras never appeared in Noscent again. Many powerhouses threw themselves into the endless planes in an attempt to find the Book of Death and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. There was no lack of Heaven Mages among them, but they didn't have any gains. Instead, most of them died in the endless planes.
At that time, when Lin Yun came in contact with this part of history in the decaying library, he felt regretful for a while. One of the few Extraordinary Magic Tools in Noscent's history was actually lost.
But now that he had the opportunity to obtain the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, how could he give it up? Not to mention that the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras had boundless potential and would become one of the most powerful Extraordinary Magic Tools, just the fact that it could help him fuse with a Meditation Law Set and advance to the Archmage realm was something he had to obtain.
In a few days, he would head to the Raging Flame Plane with Thorne and Merlin as a Planar Legion Commander. A few months ago, the decision from the Ancestral Land had made him somewhat unwilling. In his eyes, why would he get involved in the matters of the Merlin Family? Moreover, the Raging Flame Plane was even more dangerous than the Tulan Mountain Range. Not only was there an endless amount of Raging Flame Beastmen, but all the major forces were converging there.
But thinking of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras made him a lot more cheerful. That wisp of reluctance also disappeared without a trace. Perhaps his identity as a Planar Legion Commander could provide him with a lot of help.
After cutting off the Heaven Puppet's mana supply, Lin Yun put it away and removed the array within the room. After doing that, he stretched and pushed the door open.
"Cousin Mafa, you finally came out …" Lin Yun hadn't expected to see Ross anxiously waiting outside just as he opened the door. His face lit up when he saw Lin Yun come out.
"What happened?"
"Patriarch Ofran is looking for you. It seems to be a very important matter, but Cousin Mafa, you haven't come out for three days. You must be busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you … Patriarch Ofran told me to take you to his place after you come out."
"What exactly is it?"
"I'm not too sure either …"
"Alright then, take me to Patriarch Ofran's place …" Lin Yun nodded thoughtfully. He had been busy for three days and wanted to rest, but it seemed like he wouldn't have the chance now.
The fact that Patriarch Ofran was in such a hurry to find him meant that something serious had happened.
Was it related to the Raging Flame Plane?
Lin Yun couldn't help shaking his head. He looked at Ross Merlin and indifferently asked, "Cousin Ross, did something happen recently?"
"There is indeed something outrageous …" Ross Merlin frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Cousin Mafa, you should know about the Charlotte Family. They captured the Frost Leaf Plane a day ago! "This news has already spread throughout Okland. No one dares to believe that the declining Charlotte Family could actually conquer the Frost Leaf Plane …"
"Capture the Frost Leaf Plane …"
Even Lin Yun was a bit startled when he heard the news from Ross Merlin. He knew about the Frost Leaf Plane. Although that plane wasn't as huge as the Raging Flame Plane, it also contained a lot of wealth. All of Okland's major forces had been spying on that plane. If any force could capture the Frost Leaf Plane and own that private plane, their overall strength would rise a few levels within a few years.
But wealth often coexisted with danger. Those forces that wanted to capture the Frost Leaf Plane all paid a shocking price, but they ultimately failed. Even Okland's two major mage forces, the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower, were somewhat afraid of the Frost Leaf Plane. Although they had the power to capture the Frost Leaf Plane, they didn't want to take the risk, because the losses would be too great. It wasn't worth it.
But the Charlotte Family, which had declined for several hundred years and had already been removed from the Three Great Families, actually managed to capture the Frost Leaf Plane yesterday. This was simply unbelievable.
Although the declining Charlotte Family was one of Okland's major forces, it wasn't a peak force. In the past few years, it had been suppressed by the Merlin Family and the Watson Family, struggling at death's door. If not for their self-awareness and patience, the Charlotte Family would have already been destroyed many times over.
But just as Okland's major forces were gradually forgetting the existence of the Charlotte Family, such a piece of news came out. Lin Yun was almost certain that the Charlotte Family would be able to catch up to the Merlin Family after developing for a few decades. Even if they couldn't catch up, they wouldn't be far behind. After all, the wealth contained in the Frost Leaf Plane could make all of Okland's major forces green with envy.
But, how did the Charlotte Family do it?
The Frost Leaf Plane wasn't as easy to conquer as imagined. After all, the Frost Leaf Plane's coordinates had been discovered for several hundred years, and no one had managed to conquer it. Yet, the Charlotte Family actually managed to do it. This made people wonder if the Charlotte Family had obtained the support of some major force in Noscent.
'Could it be the Thousand Souls Sacrifice?'
Lin Yun was suddenly startled as he thought of this possibility. After all, this was the early Planar Colonization Era. All of Noscent's major forces were busy conquering and exploring planes, so how could they have the energy to help the Charlotte Family?
The only thing that could help the Charlotte Family conquer the Frost Leaf Plane in a short time was the Thousand Souls Sacrifice.
This wasn't an exaggeration from Lin Yun. The Thousand Souls Sacrifice was a Peak True Spirit Magic Tool, and its Incarnation was a Greater Demon. It had cultivated for close to a millennium, and its strength could be ranked among the peak powerhouses of Okland. Moreover, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice wasn't simple. If the Thousand Souls Sacrifice wanted to help the Charlotte Family rise, even if it couldn't reach the heights of the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower, it would definitely be able to stand above the Merlin Family and the Watson Family in a few hundred years.
But according to what Lin Yun knew, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice was simply using the Charlotte Family. He still remembered the tragedy a millennium later, when the Thousand Souls Sacrifice devoured almost everyone in the Charlotte Family. The Thousand Souls Sacrifice could be said to be the root cause of the Charlotte Family's destruction, so how could it help the Charlotte Family?
'Could it be that something unforeseen happened?'
"Cousin Mafa, I reckon that Patriarch Ofran looking for you should be related to the Charlotte Family. The Charlotte Family conquering the Frost Leaf Plane is the most disadvantageous for our Merlin Family, and I heard that the Charlotte Family is making some small moves … "Ross said with melancholy as he led the way.
"Haha, they are quite courageous …" Lin Yun chuckled and didn't say anything. He naturally knew that the Frost Leaf Plane was very close to the private plane the Merlin Family relied on, the Cold Wind Plane. The Charlotte Family's rapid conquest of the Frost Leaf Plane had already posed a considerable threat to the Merlin Family's Cold Wind Plane. The Merlin Family was probably worried about this matter.
After all, the Cold Wind Plane was very important to the Merlin Family. The reason the Merlin Family could campaign in every major plane and had a huge Planar Legion was inseparable from the Cold Wind Plane. If they lost the Cold Wind Plane, it would be a disaster for the Merlin Family.
The Cold Wind Plane was very important to the Merlin Family. The reason the Merlin Family could campaign in every major plane and have a huge Planar Legion was inextricably linked to the Cold Wind Plane. If they lost the Cold Wind Plane, it would be a disaster for the Merlin Family.
The Charlotte Family's actions in the Frost Leaf Plane would make the Merlin Family nervous. If it was the Charlotte Family of the past, the Merlin Family wouldn't have needed to worry about anything. They could just directly intimidate them, but the situation was different now.
After obtaining the support of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, the Charlotte Family was no longer a weak force. They could no longer be easily bullied.
Together with Ross Merlin, they went to the third floor of the stone tower. The floor was covered with clean and tidy moonstones. They softly knocked on the door before hearing an aged voice. "Come in."
A short old man was sitting in the study. It was Patriarch Ofran. He had a worried expression on his face. Seeing the two enter, his gaze fell on Lin Yun and he squeezed out a smile. "Take a seat first …"
Ofran had an indescribable feeling towards Lin Yun. He even vaguely felt that this young man had the shadow of Santon Merlin. They were both outstanding and unconventional.
But no matter how unconventional Santon Merlin was, he wasn't unconventional to the point of causing trouble in the Elder Council.
He was certain that this was a youth comparable to Santon Merlin. He was able to contend against Thorne, one of the three Sword Saints of the Merlin Family, in his twenties. Not only that, but that youth also had a huge amount of wealth. He had carefully investigated some time ago and found that the current Gilded Rose had already monopolized the alchemy market in the eastern part of the kingdom, and it was still expanding.
Such a youth's future achievements might not be much lower than Santon Merlin's.
But he was too unconventional …
He killed someone in the Elder Council, yet the ancestor of the Ancestral Land didn't blame him, but he actually gave him half of the authority to command the Planar Legion in the Raging Flame Plane. This was truly unimaginable.
"Mafa, you should have heard about what happened recently …" Ofran couldn't help massaging his temples as he recalled that matter and bitterly smiled.
"Regarding the Charlotte Family's occupation of the Frost Leaf Plane?" Lin Yun nodded and found a place to sit. Patriarch Ofran had looked for him for this matter. If it had been any other force, he wouldn't have planned on getting involved, but the Charlotte Family …
