"I feel that your Merlin Family shouldn't even consider cooperating with the Watson Family, you should just directly refuse …" Just as Weiss was chattering away, he suddenly realized that he was interfering with the internal affairs of the Merlin Family.
As he thought of this, Weiss couldn't help turning pale. He hastily explained, "High Mage Merlin, please don't misunderstand. What I mean is that if the Merlin Family needs to choose a partner, our Black Tower is clearly better than the Watson Family …"
After saying that, Whis paused and calmly looked at the young mage.
His meaning was very clear.
He was representing the Black Tower to invite Mafa Merlin, or rather, the Merlin Family, for a cooperation.
This cooperation would be very beneficial to both sides. Just the wealth of the Horn of Fertility was enough to make all the major forces of Okland go crazy. It had a fatal attraction.
And the Black Tower was clearly more ambitious. They even wanted to shake the strongest of the Thirteen Tribes, the Fireblade Tribe.
This might seem a bit crazy, but Weiss clearly understood that if the Black Tower wanted to rise, they had to seize this opportunity and recklessly snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
But after waiting for no less than half a minute, Weiss discovered that the young mage was very calm, as if he wasn't thinking about it. This couldn't help making Weiss frown. After thinking for a bit, he said, "High Mage Merlin, your Merlin Family cooperating with the Watson Family really doesn't have much meaning. After all, the Watson Family is so weak and can't compare to the Black Tower. Moreover, the support the Black Tower can give you is something they can never give … "
Weiss truly couldn't keep calm at this time, he had a nervous expression on his face.
What he cared about wasn't the Merlin Family, but rather the young mage in front of him.
In his eyes, all the military forces of the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane couldn't compare to the value of this young mage alone.
He thought he understood the young mage very well. It had been more than half a year since they met in the Tulan Mountain Range. During this period, the young mage's performance had shocked him time and time again, especially half a month ago in the Thawing Fire Tribe's sacred land. In the battle against the Tribal Chief, it was this young mage who turned the tide and killed the Tribal Chief.
If the Black Tower chose to make a move against the Fireblade Tribe, then the young mage would be too important. Not to mention the True Spirit Magic Tools on his body, he was extremely powerful, and he also had two Undead Summons.
Wait a minute …
At this time, Whis suddenly recalled that when he first came to the reception room, the aura of the silver-white figure standing in the corner seemed a little strange …
After discovering this, he didn't have time to think too much about it. His focus was on how to ask the young mage for the totem, and after that small interlude with Mark Watson, he didn't have time to think about this until now.
"It's her …"
Whis quickly found the silvery white figure. It was an outrageously beautiful young woman. Her entire body was dressed in white, and even her long hair and eyes were silvery white. She faintly exuded an icy aura, like an ice fairy.
But at this time …
The young woman seemed to have sensed something and looked at Whis. That pair of silvery white eyes had an indescribable bewitching aura.
In a flash, Whis' expression greatly changed, as if he had received some kind of shock. His face was devoid of blood, and he was panting heavily. He had clearly felt that the person looking at him wasn't a human, but rather a Dragon.
'Right, that aura …'
As he thought of this, he tried to feel that aura. It was a thick and cold feeling. At this time, he was sure that the young woman was indeed a Dragon, a Frost Dragon that could control ice elemental power.
In fact, he really wanted to use True Sight …
But he didn't dare to …
He truly didn't dare to do so …
Because this Frost Dragon's strength could easily crush him. It was common knowledge that when a Dragon took human form, its strength would be suppressed. And this Frost Dragon in human form was emitting fluctuations that were comparable to his own. They were both at the peak of the 6th Rank of the Archmage realm.
But what if it was in its true form?
That was simply terrifying …
At this time, Whis couldn't help taking a deep look at Lin Yun. This was too outrageous. How could a powerful Frost Dragon be at the young mage's side?
Although he didn't dare to believe it, he had no choice but to admit that this was true.
It looked like it was even more necessary to rope in the young mage and have him participate in the attack on the Horn of Fertility. Then, Whis frowned and said, "High Mage Merlin, as long as you agree to cooperate with the Black Tower, I think I should be able to convince Sir Hören to give the Merlin Family some benefits in the distribution of the spoils of war …"
After saying that, Whis calmly waited. He felt that the young mage had no reason to refuse his promise.
But …
"Haha, Sir Whis, I'm really sorry, I still need to think about this matter …" Lin Yun stared at Whis for no less than half a minute before scratching his cheek and smiling. "But I can assure you with my status as the Merlin Family's Planar Legion Commander that if the Merlin Family wants to participate in the fight over the Horn of Fertility, we will definitely cooperate with the Black Tower …"
"Then … Alright then."
Whis had a disappointed expression. He clearly understood that the young mage had already made his stand clear, so there was no room for negotiation. And the young mage's last words made him feel a bit more comforted. "It's a pity … In short, I'm looking forward to cooperating with the Merlin Family again."
"I'm also looking forward to it …"
In the next half an hour, Lin Yun and Whis chatted about some unimportant topics. In the end, the Black Tower Representative Whis left the Flame Demon Fort with a disappointed expression.
At nightfall, Thorne Merlin led Yuri Merlin, Ida Merlin, and the other higher-ups of the army back from the Flame Frost Fort. After seeing Lin Yun, Thorne Merlin sincerely expressed his thanks to the experienced commander before taking the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool back to the Merlin Family.
It was worth mentioning that before Thorne Merlin left, he gave the authority to control the Planar Legion to Lin Yun.
But Lin Yun didn't have the energy to care about these trivial matters. Early the next morning, he called Ida Merlin, Yuri Merlin, and the other higher-ups of the six armies and held a short meeting. He gave them the responsibility of managing the daily affairs of the five forts, including the Flame Demon Fort. After arranging everything, Lin Yun threw himself into the alchemy laboratory and had Reina stand guard outside.
Now that the matter of the Raising Dragon Array had come to an end and he had smoothly obtained five Chromatic Dragon Crystals, it was time for the Doom Staff to advance.
By using these five Chromatic Dragon Crystals as Augments for the Doom Staff, he was confident that the Doom Staff would become a Mid-Rank True Spirit Magic Tool.
This was the least he could do.
In fact, the advancement of the Doom Staff was more difficult than the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Soul Walker. It was special in that it didn't have a Magic Tool Incarnation, while the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Soul Walker had one.
It was common knowledge that every Magic Tool giving birth to a Magic Tool Incarnation was a very long process. If a mage was lucky enough to obtain some kind of opportunity, they might be able to make their Magic Tool give birth to an Incarnation. But if they didn't have the opportunity, they could only slowly grind through it, and the time needed would be calculated in years.
Lin Yun had crafted the Doom Staff less than a year ago.
A True Spirit Magic Tool without an Incarnation simply couldn't display its full power, and even the advancement process would become very difficult. But fortunately, there was an opportunity to give birth to a Magic Tool Incarnation every time it advanced.
And this advancement was clearly an opportunity for the Doom Staff.
At this time, five Chromatic Dragon Crystals flickering with different lusters had already been placed on the refining table by Lin Yun. Boundless mana spread to every corner of the laboratory. According to his plan, he would embed these five Chromatic Dragon Crystals in a miniature array and use the energy of the five Dragon Crystals to form some kind of cycle.
If he did that, he was confident that he would be able to increase the Doom Staff's rank to that of a Mid-Rank True Spirit Magic Tool. If he was lucky, he might even be able to give birth to a Magic Tool Incarnation.
Only a True Spirit Magic Tool with a Magic Tool Incarnation could be considered a true True Spirit Magic Tool.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Yun attached great importance to this advancement.
The processing method for the Chromatic Dragon Crystals was something he had thought of not long ago. This was also the processing method that could display the greatest value within the scope of his abilities.
Once everything was ready, he picked up the crystal pen, and after some deliberation, he cautiously wrote an exquisite rune on one of the Chromatic Dragon Crystals. Then, a dazzling light rose up, but Lin Yun didn't stop. He dipped the pen in ink once again and quickly wrote.
After more than three hours, he had already completed the initial processing of the Five-Colored Dragon Crystal. However, he also encountered a rather troublesome problem. This was because he discovered that the five Dragon Crystals could not achieve a complete cycle at all. In the process of energy transmission, there would more or less be some hindrance …
But it was these small flaws that greatly affected the entire plan …
For the Doom Staff to complete its advancement, he had to maintain the energy of the five Dragon Crystals and form a complete cycle. This required Lin Yun to eliminate those small flaws.
This problem was truly difficult for him.
During this process, there couldn't be any mistakes in the array. He could guarantee this, but the difficult part was that the requirements for the details were very high. There were also very high requirements for the energy of the Dragon Crystals. For example, the mana contained in the five Dragon Crystals had to be equal, without any deviation.
This kind of condition could only be described as harsh. Even Lin Yun felt that it was quite troublesome to deal with. It would take months. It would have been fine normally, but he clearly didn't have that much time now.
