As this matter was mentioned, Suval couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"What happened on the second night?"
"Haha, at that time, I knew that Mafa Merlin never thought of giving up the land to me, he actually wanted to kill me …" Suval's expression was ashen as he angrily roared, "There was actually a Demon hidden in that clearing, a true Demon. Even I, a 7th Rank Archmage, wasn't that Demon's match. I almost died in the Ghost Valley, but that Mafa Merlin was actually watching from the side …"
"So you think that Mafa Merlin's plan was a trap?"
"Could it be that it wasn't?"
"…"
Whis didn't know what to say. He took a deep look at Suval and softly shook his head before turning to leave.
'That Suval is really too sensitive …
'Especially this time, he's crazy and made the Black Tower suffer huge losses. It looks like I have to wait for the Horn of Fertility's matter to come to an end. I have to ask Sir Hören to transfer Suval out of the Raging Flame Plane, or something will happen sooner or later.'
'As for what happened to Suval …'
He felt that the young mage only wanted to teach Suval a lesson and wasn't targeting the Black Tower.
After being in contact for so long, he could naturally see that the young mage was actually a smart person. Although he looked like he didn't care about anything and had done some very unexpected things, the young mage had grasped the limits of what he was doing. How could he kill an important member of the Black Tower without any benefits?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The three major powers followed their previous plan to distribute the benefits, moving their Planar Legions to different areas of the Horn of Fertility to rest and reorganize. During this time, they also sent out teams to gather resources, which were active in the areas under their control.
During the meeting three days ago, Suval's unusual actions allowed the Merlin Family to obtain the most fertile land in the Horn of Fertility, and during that time, Lin Yun had a new harvest.
To be precise, it was the resource collection team dispatched by the Merlin Family that brought him a lot of harvest. On the evening of the first day, the resource collection team brought back some ores from the nearby ore veins.
Among the various types of ores, Lin Yun recognized one of them at a glance. It was a dark red ore that could be refined into Crimson Flame Adamantine. This unexpected harvest made him a little happy.
After all, even in the current Noscent, Crimson Flame Gold Essence wasn't very common.
Usually, a thumb-sized piece would fetch a sky-high price in an auction …
But the Horn of Fertility had an entire mine …
What really mattered to Lin Yun was not the wealth brought by the Red Flame Adamantine vein, but the fact that he happened to need the Red Flame Adamantine.
If he had obtained the Crimson Flame Gold Essence before coming to the Raging Flame Plane, it might have been useless.
But it was different now …
After advancing the Doom Staff to a High Rank True Spirit Magic Tool and giving birth to a Magic Tool Incarnation, he had already advanced to the Artisan realm and could use Crimson Flame Gold Essence to craft the components needed for the Heaven Rank Puppet.
He had always been thinking about repairing the Heaven Rank Puppet. He had brought back a large number of precious components from the Tulan Mountain Range and spent a few days repairing the Heaven Rank Puppet, but he was still missing some components, causing the Heaven Rank Puppet's strength to only be comparable to a 5th Rank Archmage. This was far from his goal.
According to his plan, if he gathered all the components, the Heaven Rank Puppet's strength would immediately leap to the Peak of the Archmage realm.
But that was still a bit far away for the current Lin Yun. If he wanted to completely repair the Heaven Rank Puppet, he would have to make a trip to the Puppet Plane.
He wasn't in a hurry to go to the Puppet Plane. After all, that was a plane on the same level as the Undead Plane. From a certain point of view, it might even be more dangerous than the Undead Plane. During the peak of the Magic Era, the few peak forces of Noscent joined hands and spent a few dozen years to thoroughly conquer that plane. During that time, no less than ten Heaven Rank powerhouses fell.
Although Lin Yun's current strength could already crush High Rank Archmages, it would still be very dangerous if he rashly stepped into the Puppet Plane. If he was unlucky, he might even die there.
Thus, he was waiting …
Once he smoothly advanced to the Archmage realm, he would be able to truly use the power of the Book of Death. Even if he encountered some unknown dangers in the Puppet Plane, he would still be able to escape unscathed.
Soon, Lin Yun realized that crafting the Heaven Rank Puppet's components was far more troublesome than he had imagined. First was the issue of the ore smelting. The current Horn of Fertility was still primitive and couldn't be smelted.
To solve this problem, he had to collect the ore and transport it to the Flame Frost Fort, which was the closest to the Horn of Fertility. But the round trip would take at least a day.
But as matters stood, Lin Yun couldn't think of any other way, so he could only do this.
Thus, early the next morning, Lin Yun personally went to the location of the Crimson Flame Gold Essence vein and mobilized a large amount of manpower to collect the ore. He also handed over the transportation and smelting of the Crimson Flame Gold Essence to Lahn Merlin of the Planar Legion. After arranging everything, Lin Yun returned to camp, because there was an even more important matter waiting for him.
Compared to the smelting of the Crimson Flame Gold Essence, the blueprint of the puppet's components was even more troublesome.
In fact, it wasn't just troublesome, it gave Lin Yun a headache.
He planned to use the Crimson Flame Gold Essence to craft three core components. After thinking for half a day, he already had a rough outline in his mind, but when he put it into practice, Lin Yun realized that the components' blueprints weren't as easy as he had imagined.
After all, those were components of a Heaven Rank Puppet, something that only a Saint Alchemist could craft. It wasn't a domain that an Artisan could set foot in. Perhaps only Lin Yun would dare to try crafting the components of a Heaven Rank Puppet in all of Noscent.
He came from 30,000 years in the future and had alchemy knowledge surpassing that of the entire era. Moreover, he had come into contact with a large number of puppet components at the end of the magic era. After repeated research, he was already very familiar with the operating principles and structure of those components. It was because of this that he was confident in crafting the components of a Heaven Rank Puppet after becoming an Artisan.
It's just that the process might be a bit more difficult.
In five days, he came up with a total of twelve blueprints, but after careful deliberation, he found out that there were more or less problems with those designs.
He managed to match the Heaven Rank Puppet with great difficulty, but the functions weren't powerful enough, or the functions were powerful enough, but they weren't compatible with the Heaven Rank Puppet.
This gave Lin Yun a headache.
He carefully studied the twelfth design plan for three days and made some small changes. Finally, he achieved the effect he wanted.
At this time, he had accumulated a certain amount of experience and started trying to conceive the designs of the other two core components.
During this time, the three major forces were still resting and reorganizing in the Horn of Fertility. They each dispatched a resource collection team to roam every corner of the Horn of Fertility. Lin Yun, who was immersed in designing the components, might not know that something happened during this time. The cause was a resource collection team of the Merlin Family. They had gathered a large amount of magic materials and were preparing to transport them to the Flame Demon Fort. And to cross the Horn of Fertility, they had to pass through the Watson Family's territory. As a result, just as they reached the area occupied by the Watson Family, they clashed with the Watson Family.
In this conflict, the Merlin Family's resource collection team was bound to suffer. That team had a total of fifty people, most of whom were Great Mages, and the Captain was only a 7th Rank High Mage.
And on the Watson Family's side, there were four or five High Mages, as well as a young Archmage.
That Archmage was the one who had represented the Watson Family and come to the Flame Demon Fort to invite the Merlin Family to cooperate, Mark Watson.
In the end, two members of that resource gathering team died in the conflict with the Watson Family, and even the captain of that 7th Rank High Mage was seriously injured.
When this news spread to the Merlin Family's camp, most of the higher-ups of the Planar Legion were very angry. Some with bad tempers even clamored to make the Watson Family pay a price. But in the end, they were suppressed by Lahn Merlin and he rushed to the Watson Family's territory to demand an explanation. The answer he got was that the Merlin Family's resource collection team was secretly gathering resources belonging to the Watson Family. This was only a small lesson.
At that time, Lahn Merlin's face turned green, and he was shaking with anger. He finally understood what true shamelessness was. But no matter how angry he was, it was useless. That young Commander had been staying in his living quarters for some time, not letting anyone disturb him.
Helplessly, this matter could only be reduced to a small one.
But Lahn Merlin clearly knew that once the young mage was done with his work and learned of this matter, the Watson Family would inevitably run out of luck. What he had to do was endure for the time being.
But the person involved in this matter, Mark Watson, wasn't aware of this. On the third day, he swaggered to the Merlin Family's camp on his own.
As he walked through the camp, Mark noticed many hostile gazes, but he didn't care. As the only genius in the Watson Family's Ancestral Land to advance to the Archmage realm before the age of 35, the only ones he cared about were High Rank Archmages.
"Hmpf …"
Mark sneered and inwardly shook his head. After a cold snort, he kept walking forward. Soon, an old silhouette blocked his path. Mark immediately greeted him with a smile. "Sir Lahn, this is truly a coincidence …"
