But …
Once again, things had gone beyond his expectations …
After waiting for no less than half a minute, the young mage was still standing there, not saying anything, not making any movements.
'This …'
Mark couldn't help being stunned. He simply didn't dare to believe it. 'Doesn't this 6th Rank High Mage know that this kind of behavior is a provocation?
A 6th Rank High Mage provoking an Archmage, does he not know how to write the word 'death'?
'Forget it, I'll teach him myself …'
As he thought of this, Mark couldn't help tightening his grip on that gorgeous magic staff. Wisps of white light quietly blossomed, and at the same time, shocking mana fluctuations spread to every corner of the reception room.
"I think you might have misunderstood …"
But at this time, the young mage's voice echoed.
"Misunderstood?"
A bone-chilling sneer appeared on Mark's face as he stared at Lin Yun with a pair of sinister eyes. After a few seconds, he quietly scattered the mana he had poured into his magic staff and sincerely shook his head. "Remember, don't try to provoke an Archmage in the future, because the anger of a powerhouse of that level isn't something a High Mage can handle. "Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Only by reaching that height would you be able to understand how huge the gap between High Mages and Archmages is … Okay, can you take me to your commander now?"
"I seem to be the person you are looking for …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the white-robed mage in front of him.
This youth from the Watson Family had reached the Archmage realm at the age of 35, and he was even a bit stronger than some Archmages who had been famous for a long time. This kind of achievement was quite shocking. Any major force in Noscent would treat him as a key target to nurture.
After all, Solan Monchi was known as the genius with the highest chance of entering the Council of Seven, but he was already close to forty when he reached the Archmage realm. And this youth from the Watson Family had reached the Archmage realm a few years earlier than Solan.
These few years were not to be underestimated, as it represented the huge gap between the two sides' magic talent.
He truly hadn't expected the Watson Family to have such an outstanding youth. Compared to Stan Watson, who claimed that only a Sword Saint would be qualified to worry about his safety, he was many times stronger.
At this time, even he had to admit that this young man from the Watson Family had the qualifications to be arrogant.
"You mean, you are the commander?"
Mark froze for half a minute before suddenly reacting. He didn't say anything else, but from the ridiculing expression on his face, it could be seen that this youth from the Watson Family simply didn't believe him.
How could he believe it …
A 6th Rank High Mage actually kept saying that he was the Commander of the Merlin Family, this was too ridiculous.
Even if the people of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land were stupid, they wouldn't send a 6th Rank High Mage to be the Planar Legion's Commander, right?
Just think about it …
All of Okland's major forces were participating in the fight over the Raging Flame Plane. On a battlefield of this level, a 6th Rank High Mage was at most a bit better than cannon fodder. Mark Watson might believe that he had some status in the Planar Legion, but as for a Planar Legion Commander, that was simply a joke.
He had lived for over thirty years, but he had never seen a Planar Legion Commander below the Archmage realm. Naturally, he had never heard of one.
In his eyes, the Merlin Family was one of Okland's Three Great Families, one of the few first-rate forces of the Andalusia Kingdom that had existed for millennia. The Planar Commander in the Raging Flame Plane should at least be a High Rank Archmage or a High Rank Sword Saint.
If the young mage before him was truly the Merlin Family's Planar Legion Commander, it could only prove that the people of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land had gone crazy.
But at this time, a silhouette suddenly appeared in Mark's line of sight, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his face. "Haha, Lahn Merlin, you came at the right time …"
He had seen Lahn Merlin when he first arrived at the Flame Demon Fort and knew that he was an experienced Archmage. Even if he was proud and arrogant, he couldn't help using honorifics in front of a powerhouse close to the High Rank Archmage realm.
"Eh …" Lahn Merlin froze, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.
"It's like this …" Mark glanced at Lahn Merlin and pointed at Lin Yun. "He should be a youth of your Merlin Family, right? This is too outrageous, he actually dared to pretend to be a Planar Commander of the Merlin Family. Sir Lahn, you have to do something about this. If this matter spreads, it will greatly affect the reputation of the Merlin Family …"
Just as he finished speaking, Mark clearly saw Lahn's expression change, and his brows deeply furrowed.
'Sure enough, it was a fake …'
Mark couldn't help looking at Lin Yun with sympathy, inwardly shaking his head. According to what he knew, the punishment for pretending to be a Planar Legion Commander was extremely severe.
However, his sympathy was clearly unnecessary …
The young mage had reaped what he sowed!
Who told him to pretend to be a Planar Legion Commander when he had nothing better to do?
"I think you must have made a mistake …" Lahn Merlin gave Mark a profound look. Lahn Merlin had just finished his work and was about to come over to take a look, but after arriving, he discovered that there was something wrong with the situation.
That youth from the Watson Family seemed to be questioning Mafa Merlin's identity as a Planar Legion Commander. He couldn't help feeling that this was a bit ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh at the moment.
Mafa Merlin was still here, so how could he dare to laugh?
"What's wrong?" Mark suddenly felt that something was wrong and raised his voice a few octaves.
"Let me formally introduce you. This is High Mage Merlin, he is indeed the Commander of our Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane. Please don't say that High Mage Merlin is a fake …" Lahn Merlin sneered at Mark. After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at the other side and slightly turned around with a smile on his face. "High Mage Merlin, this young Sir from the Watson Family might have an important matter to discuss with you, so I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, you can call me at any time …"
"Alright, Sir Lahn …"
After getting an answer from the young mage, Lahn Merlin turned to leave. In fact, Thorne Merlin had led most of the people to the Flame Frost Fort, leaving only an Archmage to oversee it. There were endless matters waiting for him to take care of in the Flame Demon Fort. Moreover, there was a lot of pressure in front of the young mage.
"How could this be …" Mark mumbled.
Even after Lahn Merlin's silhouette completely disappeared, he was still thinking about what he had heard. That young mage named Mafa Merlin was actually the Commander of the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane. This was too outrageous.
It had to be said that the person who made this decision in the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land was crazy.
After all, who would believe that the Merlin Family, one of the Three Great Families of Okland, would appoint a 6th Rank High Mage as their Commander in the Raging Flame Plane?
If he hadn't heard Lahn Merlin's answer, he wouldn't have believed it.
But …
So what if Mafa Merlin was the Commander?
This couldn't change the fact that he was only a 6th Rank High Mage.
A 6th Rank High Mage was too weak …
As he thought of this, Mark gradually calmed down. After inwardly shaking his head, he looked at Lin Yun for the first time and couldn't hide the disdain on his face. "I am Mark Watson, from the Watson Family's Ancestral Land. According to the customs of mages, you should call me Sir Mark …"
"Haha, Sir Mark …" Lin Yun had a stiff smile on his face. In fact, he was already a bit impatient. What did this young man from the Watson Family want to do by coming to the Flame Demon Fort?
But fortunately, Mark didn't make him wait too long. He nodded, seemingly satisfied with Lin Yun 'attitude and slowly said, "In fact, I came on behalf of the Watson Family to discuss cooperation with the Merlin Family. Oh, right, do you know about the Horn of Fertility? If you knew about it, I wouldn't have wasted my breath explaining it to you … "
"I know …" After nodding, Lin Yun threw a strange glance at Mark. To be honest, he didn't know much about the Horn of Fertility, but he had read some information about it in the Merlin Family Manor. In short, it was an extremely rich source of resources.
Its richness could make all the major forces of Okland jealous.
Lin Yun estimated that the Horn of Fertility should be more fertile than the Ghost Valley. If a major force thoroughly controlled this place, then that force's strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds in a short time and they would have the upper hand in the fight for the Raging Flame Plane.
But regretfully …
Okland's major forces had been in the Raging Flame Plane for close to a millennium, and all those who had ideas about the Horn of Fertility had paid a high price. Even the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower were the same.
Nothing could be done about it, because the Horn of Fertility was controlled by the strongest of the Thirteen Tribes, the Fireblade Tribe. That tribe was a lot more tyrannical than the Thawing Fire Tribe.
