Naturally, Hören only thought about it in his mind, he didn't plan on telling Suval. He had previously called Whis over and told him about his conjectures in order to give Whis some preparation. He wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Mafa Merlin, and it would be best if he could get in touch with the Heaven Rank powerhouse behind Mafa Merlin.
As for Suval …
'Once the attack on the Thawing Fire Tribe is over, I'll make him scram back to the Black Tower. He can't stay in the Raging Flame Plane. If he doesn't stop and wants to deal with the Merlin Family or Mafa Merlin, he can only return to the Holy Land.'
As he thought of this, Hören's mind was already in chaos. He impatiently glanced at Suval and added, "If you provoke that Mafa Merlin, the Black Tower won't be able to protect you …"
He wasn't exaggerating. In his eyes, a blind guy like Suval would very likely anger that mysterious Heaven Rank powerhouse if he kept provoking Mafa Merlin, which would bring trouble to the Black Tower. If that happened, he, who had always put the Black Tower's interests above all else, wouldn't hesitate to hand Suval over and let that Heaven Rank powerhouse deal with him.
"I'm sorry, Sir Hören, I, I …"
Suval was scared to tears. This was the first time he had seen Sir Hören so strict. As for his last sentence, it made him puzzled. 'If I provoke Mafa Merlin, the Black Tower won't be able to protect me?'
'How could this be …'
Although Mafa Merlin was ridiculously powerful and had the backing of the Merlin Family, the Merlin Family wasn't much to the Black Tower. Even a powerhouse like Merlin Oren from the Merlin Family's Holy Land wouldn't dare to rashly make a move against him.
Naturally, he didn't dare to question Hören in his face.
"Remember, if you dare to provoke Mafa Merlin again, you'll have to scram back to the Holy Land!" Hören took a deep breath and warned. He then waved his hand, indicating for Suval to leave.
"Okay, okay … don't worry."
Facing Hören, under that invisible pressure, Suval almost collapsed. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice before leaving the study.
…
By the time Lin Yun returned to the Flame Demon Fort, it was already noon. The dark red sun hung in the sky, radiating its vicious rays at all times.
Passing through the layers of guards, Lin Yun walked into the meeting hall. There were only three people in the bright and spacious meeting hall. They were Thorne Merlin, Ida Merlin, and Yuri Merlin.
"Mafa Merlin, let me ask you, why did you go to the Black Tower's Dark Moon Fort today?" Thorne's face was gloomy as he swept a sharp gaze over Lin Yun.
In the morning, he had received a report regarding Mafa Merlin. It was said that Mafa Merlin went to the Black Tower's Dark Moon Fort and hadn't returned until now.
'It's been an entire morning … What has Mafa Merlin been doing in the Dark Moon Fort all this time?
This couldn't help but make Thorne suspicious.
After all, the Merlin Family and the Black Tower didn't have any intersection. Moreover, the Flame Demon Fort controlled by the Merlin Family was adjacent to the Black Tower's Dark Moon Fort, and they had been on guard against each other for a hundred years. He really couldn't think of any reason for Mafa Merlin to go to the Black Tower.
It would be terrible if Mafa Merlin leaked information about the Flame Demon Fort to the Black Tower. Although he didn't believe that Mafa Merlin would dare to do such a thing, it was better to be prepared.
Thus, when the young mage returned, Thorne used an interrogative tone as if he was interrogating a criminal.
Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin, who had been quietly sitting at the side, were scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat when they heard Thorne Merlin's words. 'Damn, this guy is deliberately looking for trouble. Can't he have a personal relationship with the Black Tower? Can't he just pay a visit? Do I have to tell you how many people I met and how many bowls of rice I ate today before you're satisfied? '
At this time, the two had misgivings about Thorne Merlin's identity and couldn't say these things. After all, Thorne Merlin was the Planar Legion Commander, so they still had to keep up appearances.
Then, Ida Merlin and Yuri saw the young mage frown.
'Oh no …'
"Sir Thorne, you are the Planar Legion Commander, and so am I. I feel that you don't have the authority to control my affairs, hehe …" Lin Yun rubbed his nose and indifferently glanced at Thorne Merlin.
"Do you think that you are still a descendant of the Merlin Family?" Thorne Merlin's gaze was filled with disgust as he said in an awe-inspiring tone, "With your current identity, you are the Merlin Family's Legion Commander in the Raging Flame Plane. Every move you make will have a huge impact. You'd best explain your purpose for going to the Dark Moon Fort, as well as who you came into contact with and what you said. Explain everything to clear your name of suspicion."
"Sir Thorne, this isn't good …"
At this time, even Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin couldn't keep listening. This was really offending the young mage. Moreover, Thorne didn't treat the young mage as a Commander, but as if he was a criminal.
This was really courting death …
"I wonder what kind of suspicion I have?" Lin Yun's eyes narrowed as he looked at Thorne Merlin with an amused expression.
"Who knows if you will leak the Flame Demon Fort's military deployment to the Black Tower? This matter is of great importance. Even if you are the Commander, you have to honestly explain it clearly. Otherwise, if you leak important information and cause the Flame Demon Fort to be lost, I won't be able to bear the responsibility. "Thorne Merlin took a deep breath and said the words he had already prepared.
In fact, Thorne Merlin only wanted to embarrass the young mage and let him know that although he was also a Commander, he had to listen to him in the Raging Flame Plane.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to accuse the young mage of colluding with the enemy.
"Sir Thorne, you can't make irresponsible remarks …"
Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin immediately looked at Thorne Merlin with strange expressions. Others might not know, but they clearly understood that if not for the young mage turning the tide and finding the Raging Flame Beastman Mage at the critical moment, it would be hard to say whether the Flame Demon Fort would have been able to defend itself.
Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin wouldn't believe that the young mage was colluding with the enemy.
If the young mage wanted to betray the Merlin Family, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble. After all, the young mage had killed over ten powerful Raging Flame Beastman Mages on his own. With that kind of frightening strength, getting rid of Thorne Merlin and thoroughly controlling the Flame Demon Fort's military wouldn't be difficult for the young mage.
Moreover, Thorne Merlin kept provoking the young mage, making Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin feel very helpless.
"How did you know that I would hand over the Flame Demon Fort's military deployment to the Black Tower?" Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. The other side was truly sinister.
"Naturally, only you know what you did. If you were innocent and didn't betray the Merlin Family, then wouldn't you be able to tell us your purpose in going to the Dark Moon Fort?" Thorne Merlin sneered. He had clearly dug a pit for the young mage to jump in.
"It's a secret …"
"You … Mafa Merlin, don't be unable to differentiate good from bad!" Thorne Merlin's face twisted as he angrily roared, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Believe it or not, I'll report what happened yesterday and how you secretly rushed to the Black Tower to the Ancestral Land … "
Had it not been for Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin's persuasion, he would have already reported it to the Ancestral Land. How could he have waited until now? The young mage leaving the Flame Demon Fort at such a crucial time wasn't a trivial matter. It would most likely lead to the fall of the Flame Demon Fort. Even he wouldn't be able to bear such a heavy responsibility.
As for the young mage going to the Dark Moon Fort alone and staying there for a whole morning, it could also be a big or small matter. If the people of the Ancestral Land knew about it, they would inevitably be suspicious of the young mage.
Thus, Thorne Merlin felt that he had two fatal weaknesses of the young mage, so the other side should be obedient. His previous words were already an undisguised threat. If the other side wasn't stupid, he would admit defeat and explain everything to appease Thorne's anger. That was the best choice.
And Thorne Merlin was also waiting.
"Haha, Sir Thorne, you must be joking. You going to the Ancestral Land to report is your own business, it has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not …"
Lin Yun had an indifferent expression. After saying that, he didn't look at Thorne Merlin again and turned to leave.
"This …"
Thorne Merlin was truly stunned as he looked at the young mage's back. 'Crazy, he's definitely crazy …'
'That repulsive Mafa Merlin actually didn't put my threat in his eyes. Does he really think that I wouldn't dare?'
He really couldn't understand where that damned Mafa Merlin got his confidence from.
On the side, Yuri Merlin and Ida Merlin glanced at each other before tacitly getting up and leaving, disappearing from Thorne Merlin's murderous gaze.
At this time, only Thorne Merlin remained in the meeting hall. His gaze was cold, his expression gloomy, and his heart was filled with boundless anger.
He truly hated Mafa Merlin …
But after calming down, he gradually realized that even in the Raging Flame Plane, it would be very difficult for him to deal with that powerful guy.
'It looks like I can only report to the Ancestral Land …'
A piece of white paper appeared in his hand, and as he roused his Aura, countless flickering runes appeared on it. After quickly writing a letter, that piece of white paper turned into countless rays of light and dissipated in the air. This was the Merlin Family's unique communication method. It was extremely fast, and even if one was in another plane, they could still send a message to the Merlin Family within a day.
And this letter recorded the events of yesterday and today.
After the Ancestral Land received it, they would definitely be furious. After all, both of Mafa Merlin's actions were very excessive. In his eyes, stripping Mafa Merlin of his Commander status would be considered a light punishment.
Everything would be easy once Mafa Merlin lost his Commander status. He had countless ways to make Mafa Merlin wish he was dead. The situation from three months ago was still vivid in his mind. At that time, he had said that he would throw Lin Yun into the Wailing River.
