However, the Horn of Fertility was a very vast area, and the degree of richness wasn't the same. There were naturally some barren areas, and thus, this conference was held.
"I have a suggestion …" Lin Yun got up and took the map. He then took out a crystal pen from his pocket and casually drew a few lines, dividing the entire Horn of Fertility into three areas.
"High Mage Merlin, I wonder what your suggestion is …" Weiss bitterly smiled at Lin Yun. To be honest, he was a bit restless. He had already experienced the young mage's appetite in the cooperation with the Thawing Fire Tribe. He had taken 70% of the Ghost Valley.
And now, he took the initiative to propose a suggestion. What did this mean? Weiss knew better than anyone what it meant.
The young mage clearly wanted to take advantage of them.
But even if he knew this, what could he do?
Let alone the Heaven Rank powerhouse behind the young mage, just the strength he displayed made the Black Tower have no choice but to pay attention to him. He defeated a level 37 Lich in the magic tower, scared away a Greater Demon in the Aurij Mountain Range, and killed an 8th Rank Archmage Tribal Chief in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land.
The most outrageous part was that the young mage had a terrifying Frost Dragon at his side, as well as the endless number of powerful Magic Tools on his body. This was truly …
In Weiss' eyes, the Black Tower was going to suffer a loss this time.
"The land near the Wailing River is rich in ore veins and contains many materials commonly used for compounding potions. This should be the most fertile area in the entire Horn of Fertility …" Lin Yun pointed at an area on the map and said with a smile.
'Sure enough …'
Hearing this, Weiss paled and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. He could naturally see that the young mage had taken a fancy to that area.
'Ah, it's fine to suffer a loss, it's no big deal.'
In any case, the Horn of Fertility was only a springboard for the Black Tower, a springboard to nibble away at the Fireblade Tribe. Once the mage army rested for a while, they would take advantage of this opportunity to attack the few nearby forts.
At that time, he might need the young mage's help …
Thinking of this, Whis felt relieved and squeezed out a stiff smile. Then, he heard the young mage's voice again, "My suggestion is to give this place to the Black Tower …"
"Haha, High Mage Merlin, we'll follow your suggestion and give that land to the Black Tower … Wait, give it to the Black Tower?" Before he finished speaking, Whis suddenly froze. He carefully thought about it a few times before confirming that he didn't hear wrongly. The young mage really said that he wanted to give that piece of land to the Black Tower.
This …
Whis looked at Lin Yun in disbelief. He really couldn't understand why the young mage would suggest giving the most fertile land to the Black Tower.
This was simply illogical …
According to the young mage's personality, shouldn't he have taken all the advantages he could get? Just like when he negotiated with Hören, he asked for seventy percent of the Ghost Valley.
Whis had always felt that the young mage was a mercenary who would not give up any benefits.
But now …
"Suval, did you hear that? Did you hear that …" Whis didn't care too much. Getting that fertile land would be very helpful to the Black Tower.
But after saying that, Whis suddenly discovered that Suval's expression was very bad, there wasn't even a trace of happiness.
'What's going on …'
'Did he not hear what Mafa Merlin said?'
"High Mage Merlin just said that he wants to give the most fertile land to our Black Tower …" Whis lowered his voice and whispered in Suval's ear.
'He should have heard it this time, right?'
But Suval didn't respond.
"Since Sir Whis agrees, I'll continue …" Lin Yun had an indifferent expression. He pointed at the area in the middle of the Horn of Fertility and said, "Although this land can't compare to the Black Tower's, it's not bad. How about giving it to the Watson Family? As for the last piece, the most barren land in the Horn of Fertility, it will be taken over by our Merlin Family. Is everyone satisfied with this arrangement? "
"High Mage Merlin, I agree with your proposal …" Karl, who had been silent all this time, looked at Lin Yun with a strange expression. He wasn't surprised that Lin Yun would give the most fertile land to the Black Tower. After all, it was one of the strongest forces in the entire Raging Flame Plane. It was reasonable for the Black Tower to get the biggest share.
He had originally been prepared to fight with the Merlin Family for that area in the middle of the Horn of Fertility, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. The young mage didn't seem to care about that piece of land and directly gave it to the Watson Family. This couldn't help reducing Karl's disgust towards the young mage.
"But I still have a small request …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek and swept his gaze over everyone before saying, "The reason our Merlin Family is willing to take the worst piece of land is because we want everyone to follow me to the end of the Wailing River to take a look …"
Weiss and Karl sighed in relief after hearing Lin Yun's words.
To be honest, this wasn't an excessive request, it was just a trip to the end of the Wailing River.
But at this time, a discordant voice echoed, "I don't agree!"
Everyone's gazes focused on Suval, who had a gloomy expression and a sneer on his face. "Mafa Merlin, I don't agree with your request, but rather with your profit distribution plan."
At this time, Weiss and Karl's expressions were somewhat strange. They truly couldn't understand what Suval was dissatisfied with.
"Oh?" Lin Yun expressionlessly looked at Suval and only let out an "oh", not saying anything else.
"Our Black Tower doesn't want this place …" Suval reached out and grabbed the map, pointing at the most fertile land near the Wailing River. It was also the land allocated to the Black Tower. "Our Black Tower definitely doesn't want this land …"
"Then which one do you want?"
"The one your Merlin Family got …"
Just as Suval's words fell, Weiss thought that he had misheard and shook his head. He looked at the place Suval was pointing at and paled. That was the worst place in the entire Horn of Fertility.
At this time, Whis was so shocked that he couldn't speak …
"Our Black Tower must have this land. As for that so-called most fertile land, your Merlin Family should keep it for yourselves …" Suval coldly smiled as he looked at Lin Yun and heavily knocked the table. "If you don't agree, I won't agree to your previous request."
Lin Yun 'expression was very strange. He stared at Suval for a while before saying, "Okay, Sir Suval, I agree …"
The meeting, which lasted for more than half an hour, ended in an extremely strange atmosphere. The four people who participated in the meeting, except for Whis, all left the conference room with smiles on their faces.
As for Weiss …
He was really going crazy …
On the way back to the camp, Weiss had a gloomy expression, and he finally couldn't help bursting out with a deep voice. "Suval, you have to give me an explanation …"
If it weren't for his status as Representative Suval, he would have already started cursing.
Nothing could be done about it, he was too angry …
'Mafa Merlin was clearly willing to give that most fertile land to the Black Tower …
'Damnit, being able to take advantage of Mafa Merlin wasn't easy, but that idiot Suval gave up on it. More importantly, it caused the Black Tower to gain the least in this fight for the Horn of Fertility.
'I really can't help but be angry …
'The Black Tower contributed the most, but got the least …'
"Explain what?" Suval expressionlessly glanced at Weiss.
"Of course it's because of what happened in the conference room …" Whis resisted the anger in his heart and said word by word. He really wanted to press down on Suval's head and ruthlessly slam it against the ground a few times to see if there was water inside.
'Damn, how could you be so stupid?'
"Hmpf, Weiss, can't you see? That was a plot …" Suval sneered and shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain. "Do you think that damned Mafa Merlin would be so kind?"
Suval realized that it was definitely a plot when the young mage mentioned the distribution plan in the meeting room. 'How could that damned Mafa Merlin let the Black Tower take advantage of it for no reason?'
In fact, he had been vigilant against the young mage ever since the Ghost Valley incident. No matter what the other side said, he wouldn't believe it.
Nothing could be done about it, he had been cheated too miserably last time.
In fact, the powerful Lesser Lava Overlord was still a nightmare for him.
"You might understand if you experienced what happened to me …" Seeing Weiss' doubtful expression, Suval inwardly shook his head and said, "After eliminating the Thawing Fire Tribe, the Merlin Family took 70% of the Ghost Valley. I went to look for Mafa Merlin and asked him for a part of the land."
"Oh … Did he give it to you in the end?" Weiss couldn't help frowning at the other side's serious expression. Maybe things weren't as he had imagined and there was more to it.
"He gave it to me …" Suval took a deep breath, his expression becoming very unsightly. "I led some people to that vacant land, and everything was normal at first, but on the second night …"
