In the end, he waited for a long time. The twenty minutes were almost up, but that bastard was still like a dead man. He buried his head and put his hands behind his back, and hurried on unhurriedly. Along the way, he even pretended to be deep in thought. Damn it, what's there to be deep in thought about? You're just a magic apprentice, do you think you can think about something profound …?
As he waited, Raymond couldn't wait any longer. He cursed in his heart countless times. Bastard, can you stop pretending? Hurry up and ask me for advice. Can't you see that I'm already having a hard time waiting? If you don't hurry up, there won't be a single onlooker when we reach the Gilded Rose. What's the point of me taunting you then … '
'No, I have to think of a way to hint at him …'
"Oh, right, Young Master Merlin, did your teacher tell you which formulas are the best to grasp before attacking the mana whirlpool?" After Raymond asked this question, he felt a little proud of himself. This old man's question was really too good. Not only did he give a perfect hint, but he also had a bit of a condescending tone to test the school. He had both the inside and the outside world.
Then, Raymond waited for a long time …
Raymond looked back and saw that the person beside him was still looking down with his hands behind his back, looking pensive.
'Damn, that's a bit too much!'
Veins popped up on Raymond's forehead. 'I'm an esteemed mage, yet I'm taking the initiative to talk to a Magic Apprentice like you. Not only are you not flattered, but you actually dare to ignore me? Do you want to die?'
"Hey, Young Master Merlin!" Raymond had to endure for a long time before he managed to resist the urge to curse out loud. Unwilling to give up, he raised his voice and shouted again.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Lin Yun, who had finally recovered, was at a loss at first before he reacted. "Oh, you're talking about formulas that need to be grasped before attacking the mana whirlpool? It's very simple. The Rosen Formula is used to construct the mana whirlpool embryonic form, and the Kidd Formula is used to calculate the mana flow. Hmm, if possible, it's best to grasp the Figaro Formula so that you can save a lot of mana when constructing the mana whirlpool embryonic form."
After saying that, he gave Raymond a strange look. "Isn't this the knowledge that a Magic Apprentice should grasp?"
"I …" Raymond almost stomped his foot. 'What the hell is that supposed to mean? You're saying that I, an esteemed mage, need to consult you on the knowledge that a Magic Apprentice should grasp?
'No good, I have to think of a way to humiliate that scoundrel!'
Raymond gritted his teeth as he thought about it. Unfortunately, the Gilded Rose arrived before he could come up with a solution.
The Gilded Rose was located in the Victorious Return Main Street. This was the most flourishing area of Thousand Sails City, with the most people and the most expensive goods. Only a force like the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce could make the Gilded Rose enter the Victorious Return Main Street after Locke Merlin's joke.
But with the decline of the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce, the Gilded Rose that had caused a sensation in half of Thousand Sails City had also become deserted. The three peak Alchemists of Thousand Sails City had already left, taking a lot of expensive alchemy items with them. Their reason was that the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce owed them their salaries, so they took these alchemy items as a replacement.
In fact, the value of these items was at least ten times that of their salaries.
But who told the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce to be unable to pay their salaries? They couldn't even repay Fario's debt of eight thousand gold, let alone the salaries of the Alchemists.
And then there were the clerks who left one after another. Now, the Gilded Rose that used to be making money was only an empty shelf. In fact, if not for the old butler seeing that the situation wasn't right and hurriedly sealing the warehouse, the remaining cheap magic materials might have already been emptied.
When Lin Yun pushed open the door and entered the Gilded Rose, he couldn't see anything. The formerly dazzling shelves were now empty. Even a fly would spit on them in disgust. The floor was covered in dust and emitted a moldy smell.
"This is too excessive …" Raymond shook his head and sighed as he entered, regret written all over his face.
But he was actually secretly pleased. 'Disappointed? Dumbfounded? Does he still think he's that rich young master who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing? Does he think this is still the Gilded Rose that used to be making money? Don't joke around, the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce has already collapsed, the Gilded Rose is gone, and you're only a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice that's been stuck there for a few years! '
Raymond was already prepared. When that bastard showed a look of disappointment, he would make fun of him.
But after waiting for a while, Raymond couldn't wait any longer, because he found that something was wrong. That scoundrel didn't react after entering, neither dumbfounded nor disappointed. Even his deliberate shaking of his head and sighing didn't resonate with him. It was as if he hadn't seen anything as he directly walked through the empty lobby towards the back door of the Gilded Rose.
"Hey …" Raymond opened his mouth, wanting to try one last time, but he quickly gave up on that idea. That guy was walking too fast, and by the time Raymond reacted, he could only see his back.
'Damn, wait until I get the chance, I'll teach you a lesson,' Raymond inwardly cursed. He held his magic staff with a sullen expression as he chased after that scoundrel.
After coming out of the back door, he turned left and crossed a street a few dozen meters to reach the Gilded Rose's warehouse.
By the time Raymond caught up from behind, Lin Yun had already opened the door of the warehouse with a key and was standing in front of all kinds of cheap magic materials in a daze.
"Hey, you ran so fast …" When Raymond came in, he actually wanted to complain, but when he saw Lin Yun's appearance, he immediately swallowed his complaints, because there was no need to complain. He didn't even have time to rejoice in someone else's misfortune, so how could he have time to complain?
Seeing that scoundrel's sluggish expression, Raymond felt extremely happy. 'You're finally disappointed, aren't you? Look at these cheap magic materials, they might not even be worth a thousand gold, and you still want to use them to pay off your debt? Do you think that fat uncle of yours is a philanthropist?'
Raymond felt that he really had to work very hard to restrain himself so that he wouldn't let out a gloating laugh.
But Raymond definitely wouldn't have thought that the dazed scoundrel was actually thinking the same thing …
Lin Yun also felt that he had to work very hard to restrain himself from laughing out loud.
With the memories left behind by Mafa Merlin, Lin Yun indeed knew that this was an era of extremely rich resources, but Lin Yun really didn't think that the resources of this era would be so heartless. Just look at the magic materials piled up on the ground …
Not to mention anything else, just the Red Coral filled three wooden boxes. What kind of concept was that? At the end of the Magic Era, taking out a few casually would be enough to cause a riot in the deathly silent Heiss City. Right, there was also that bag full of Moonlight Sand. Even digging in the desert for a few hundred years wouldn't be able to dig out that much, right?
'Wait, what's that …'
It took him a lot of effort to shift his gaze away from the moonlight sand, but he was soon attracted by a bright light.
'This shouldn't be the legendary Magic Iron, right?'
Lin Yun subconsciously gulped as he stared at the glimmer in the corner of the warehouse. That's right, it was gloomy and deep, carrying fierce mana fluctuations. If this wasn't Magic Iron, what else could it be?
This was the first time Lin Yun saw true Magic Iron. This kind of rare magic metal simply didn't exist at the end of the Magic Era. A few millennia before Lin Yun transmigrated, the last piece of magic metal in Noscent had already been mined. In the following years, people could only read descriptions of all kinds of magic metals in books.
Every kind of magic metal was a gift from the earth. They innately possessed unique magic power, and as long as they were processed a bit, they could become powerful alchemy items. If they met a brilliant alchemist, they might even have the chance to advance into a Magic Tool. For example, that Shelter Tower in the center of Heiss City was the greatest Magic Tool in Noscent's history. It had forcibly delayed a world that should have been destroyed long ago, delaying the end of the world by millions of years. This kind of power could no longer be described as a miracle.
After looking around the warehouse, Lin Yun couldn't help cursing. This was truly an era where resources were abundant to the point of being utterly heartless. Magic Iron was thrown in a corner, three boxes of Red Coral, and bags of Moonlight Sand. Moreover, they all had a common name: Cheap Magic Material.
'Too extravagant, too wasteful!'
Lin Yun fiercely swallowed a few times before forcing himself not to look at those tempting treasures. Lin Yun was like a person who had been starving for a few dozen days and suddenly saw a table full of delicious food. Not screaming and rushing over was already very courteous. But even the courteous Lin Yun was in a daze for a while before recovering from the shock.
Then, Lin Yun started moving. The three boxes of Red Coral were quickly emptied, followed by the bags of Moonlight Sand. Naturally, the few pieces of Magic Iron that had been left in a corner weren't let off either. After four or five trips, Lin Yun moved them all into the Gilded Rose's alchemy laboratory.
Raymond was dumbstruck as he watched from the side. 'What happened to that Young Master Merlin? How come he's acting so abnormal?' 'Could it be that he couldn't take the blow and became a bit schizophrenic?
'Could it be that he doesn't know that the five trips he took and the things he carried out weren't even worth five hundred golds?' 'Let alone paying Fario's debt, it would be very difficult to deal with the families of the two victims. Don't look at the three boxes of Red Coral and the bags of Moonlight Sand. These things were the most common and most common magic materials in Noscent. They could be bought with a few golds. Those few pieces of Magic Iron were worth a bit of money, but the problem was that without an alchemist, Mafa Merlin, could he use his teeth to enchant them?
'It's over, it's over, he really is schizophrenic.'
Raymond felt a headache coming on. 'It doesn't matter if that scoundrel is schizophrenic, but can he not implicate me?' His father had worked for Merlin's family for a few dozen years, and he almost treated that scoundrel as his own son. If he found out that this scoundrel became schizophrenic after coming out with him, wouldn't he have a hard time?
'The problem is that I'm really innocent …'
