It was because of this that Mark Watson didn't care about Weiss and felt that he was just an insignificant nobody.
But …
Such a nobody in his eyes was bursting with the power of a High Rank Archmage.
At this time, he clearly understood that staying here wasn't a wise choice. That was a High Rank Archmage that he had thoroughly infuriated.
Although his legs were so soft that he couldn't even walk, and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, he still struggled to move his feet out of the reception room.
When he was about to leave the reception room, he turned to look at Lin Yun. "Mafa Merlin, only a third of the Horn of Fertility's garrison remains, and it's been half a month. I hope you can consider the matter of cooperation. This is an extremely rare opportunity for your Merlin Family. Oh, right, you only have three days to consider …"
"And you!"
Mark then raised his head and gloomily looked at Weiss before ruthlessly saying, "Just you wait … The Watson Family will definitely make you pay the price!"
After saying that, Mark hastily turned around, wanting to leave as soon as possible. But at this time, a sneer echoed behind him.
"No problem, I'll be waiting for your Watson Family in the Black Tower. Remember, I'm the Black Tower's Weiss. Tell your Patriarch Karl what I said, I think he should know me …"
"Black Tower's Weiss, right? Haha, our Watson Family will definitely make you …" Mark stopped and subconsciously replied. But before he could finish, his expression froze and he suddenly stuttered, "Wait … Wh … Wh … Wh … Wh … Wh?"
Mark had always stayed in the Watson Family's Ancestral Land and rarely appeared in Okland, but that didn't mean that he was ignorant. He had heard of some famous people, and at this time, he recalled who that Black Tavis was.
He was a Representative of the Black Tower's Council of Seven, one of the two major mage forces of the kingdom. He stood at the peak of the Black Tower's power, and he was a High Rank Archmage. In all of Okland, there weren't many people who could compare to Weiss in terms of status. Even Patriarch Karl, whom Lin Yun had to look up to, would have to show respect when facing this Representative of the Black Tower and not dare to rashly offend him.
Even if Mark was arrogant and conceited, he knew that he had just done something stupid.
And most importantly, his actions just now were likely to bring trouble to the Watson Family.
What to do … what to do?
At this time, Mark was extremely anxious. He stood there in a daze, not even daring to breathe loudly. Even if he didn't turn around, he knew that the Representative of the Black Tower had an unsightly expression on his face.
"Sir Wh, I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry …" At this time, Mark summoned his courage and braced himself to turn around, continuously apologizing to Wh. He kept his head lowered, not daring to look at Wh.
But before he could finish his apology, he was interrupted by Wh's hand.
"Shut up!"
"Sir Wh, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please accept my apology …" Mark was startled when he heard Wh's angry voice.
Hearing Whis' angry voice, Mark was startled. He realized that he had caused a huge disaster. This wasn't a joke. Although he had only said a few words, each one had been ruthless. He had even called Whis an old man. This was simply provoking the prestige of a high-ranked Archmage. Even if Whis killed him on the spot, the Watson Family would turn a blind eye and not dare to get involved in this matter.
Who told him to be in the wrong, he would die in vain …
The only thing he could do now was to sincerely apologize and hope that Sir Wh would be magnanimous and not lower himself to the level of a nobody like him.
"Apologize?" Wh sneered. He didn't say anything else, but the aura he was emitting made Mark gasp for breath.
He was truly angry at this time. As an esteemed Representative of the Black Tower, being called an old man was one thing, but that youth named Mark Watson was actually using the Watson Family to threaten him again and again. He truly didn't put him in his eyes.
But Mark's ignorance made him feel a bit ridiculous.
"When you make a serious mistake, do you think a few words of apology will be useful? It's meaningless … "Wh coldly smiled as he stared at Mark.
"I … I …"
Feeling Wh's gaze, Mark suddenly became nervous. He was scared to tears and only managed to spit out a few words, not daring to say anything else.
Offending a Representative of the Black Tower was akin to courting death.
But just as he was about to give up all hope, Wh's voice echoed once again. "You can leave now …"
"Wh … Wh … What?" Mark didn't dare to believe it. He looked at Wh with a blank expression. He suddenly felt that his brain wasn't enough. Sir Wh didn't accept his apology, which meant that he wanted to punish him. But those words were clearly telling him to leave.
'What's going on?'
But he couldn't care about that right now. He promptly apologized to Wh, "Thank you … Thank you … Thank you for your magnanimity …"
"You don't need to thank me, but High Mage Merlin. He saved you …" Wh coldly looked at Mark with undisguised disgust before pointing at Lin Yun.
"High Mage Merlin, thank you … Thank you …" Mark didn't care about anything else at this time. Let alone thanking Mafa Merlin, even if he had to thank everyone in the Flame Demon Fort, he would be willing to do so as long as he could keep his life.
"Alright …" Lin Yun frowned and impatiently looked at Mark. "As for the matter of cooperation, I'll consider it. If I agree, I'll send someone to the Watson Family to inform them …"
"Good, good, good …" Mark didn't even hear what Lin Yun said. He kept nodding, knowing that his life was saved.
After saying that, he didn't dare to stay any longer and left the reception room with trembling legs.
"High Mage Merlin, the fly has left. I think we can talk about some important matters …" Wh's eyes followed Mark's silhouette until it disappeared. He was right, the young mage had indeed saved Mark Watson's life.
After all, although he had joined the Council of Seven in recent years and could only be considered a newly promoted Representative, his position in the Council couldn't be ignored. Especially with the matter of the Thawing Fire Tribe, he had handled it neatly and efficiently, gaining the trust of Sir Hören.
To be honest, a young genius of the Watson Family was nothing in his eyes. He didn't even have the qualifications to talk to him on equal terms, let alone provoke his prestige. That was no different from courting death.
After being threatened by Mark Watson several times, he already wanted to kill him, but when he remembered that this was the Flame Demon Fort, Mafa Merlin's territory, he couldn't help dispelling that thought. It wouldn't be worth it if a small fly like Mark made Mafa Merlin unhappy.
Thus, it wouldn't be excessive to say that Mafa Merlin had saved Mark Watson's life.
"Didn't Sir Wh come to take the totem? What? Is there something else?" Lin Yun looked at Wh with a strange expression.
"Haha, I just heard it …" Wh's smile was somewhat awkward.
"Ah?"
"It's like this, I just inadvertently heard that youth of the Watson Family say that only a third of the Horn of Fertility's garrison remained, and that it lasted for half a month. Is this true?" Wh cautiously looked at Lin Yun. When he heard this information, he had already thought of many possibilities.
This was definitely an opportunity for the Black Tower. If they could smoothly occupy the Horn of Fertility and gain a firm foothold in that resource area, with the Black Tower's strength, they would inevitably be able to nibble away at the surrounding forts. At that time, the Black Tower's influence in the Raging Flame Plane would frantically expand, far surpassing the Cloud Tower of the same rank.
This was too important …
In the eyes of the Black Tower, the Horn of Fertility wasn't as simple as a resource area. More importantly, if they captured that place, they would be able to tear open a gap, it would be equivalent to a springboard.
The Horn of Fertility had always been a place they had to pass to attack the Fireblade Tribe, and the Fireblade Tribe attached great importance to controlling the Horn of Fertility. The tribe's most elite troops were garrisoned in the Horn of Fertility, and ever since the major forces of Okland set foot in the Raging Flame Plane a millennium ago, that army had never left.
But something unexpected happened this time. Only a third of the troops stationed in the Horn of Fertility remained, and it lasted for half a month. This made Wh wonder if something had happened within the Fireblade Tribe, causing them to no longer care about their control over the Horn of Fertility and move most of their troops away.
"In fact, I don't know if this information is true or not, but from the Watson Family's attitude, it shouldn't be false …" Lin Yun had a flash of understanding as he scratched his cheek and glanced at Wh. He felt that what Mark said was most likely true.
Otherwise, how could the Watson Family have sent a young genius to discuss cooperation with him?
"High Mage Merlin, I have an idea. I wonder if you would be willing to listen?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing Wh's serious expression, Lin Yun couldn't help being distracted. "Please say it …"
