"Sir Rhett …"
Just as Rhett was at his wits' end, a clear and bright voice came from outside the living quarters. A smile appeared at the corner of Rhett's mouth. "Sir Arthus, please come in …"
As soon as Rhett finished his words, a tall and sturdy man wrapped in a black robe walked into the living quarters, emitting a cold and gloomy aura.
"Sir Arthus, you came at the right time …"
"Oh?"
"I have something to discuss with you, it's like this …" Rhett had a smile on his face as he briefly explained what had happened and mentioned that he wanted to teach Mafa Merlin a lesson.
"Haha, so it's like this …" The black-robed man called Arthus let out a sinister laugh.
"Sir Arthus, do you have any good suggestions?" Rhett gave Arthus a profound look, his attitude very respectful.
Normally, as a Representative of the Watson Family's Ancestral Land Council, very few people in the entire Watson Family could make him treat them as equals.
But this black-robed man called Arthus was definitely one of them.
In fact, Arthus wasn't a member of the Watson Family. Rhett only knew that Arthus had come to the Watson Family two hundred years ago and spent most of his time at the side of the Patriarch, responsible for his safety. Apart from the Ancestral Land and the Patriarchs, very few people knew of Arthus' existence.
It was said that the reason Arthus stayed in the Watson Family and worked hard without complaint was because of an ancestor of the Watson Family. Although that ancestor hadn't appeared for several hundred years, Arthus kept his promise and stayed in the Watson Family. In the past two hundred years, he had made great contributions to the Watson Family.
Naturally, this wasn't the only reason he was respected by Rhett. The most important reason was Arthus' strength. He was a 7th Rank Sword Saint and had a Demonic Bloodline. In terms of fighting power, Rhett didn't dare to say that he could defeat Arthus.
The Demonic Bloodline was undoubtedly the most special aspect of Arthus. Rhett had vaguely heard people mention that Arthus' grandfather was a half-human half-demon, and although Arthus' demonic bloodline had become very thin, he could still maintain his demonic form for a short period of time.
A hostile force had once sent a Peak 7th Rank Sword Saint to assassinate a Patriarch of the Watson Family, but he had been blocked by Arthus in his demonic form and hadn't suffered any injuries.
From this, it could be seen how powerful Arthus was.
"Sir Rhett, I feel that we can probe him …" Arthus let out a hoarse laugh. "You should remember my ability. I can temporarily transform into my demonic form and attack the Merlin Family's camp. I might be able to capture Mafa Merlin during the chaos, and the Merlin Family would only know that a Demon attacked them. They wouldn't think that it was our Watson Family of the Watson Family …"
This innate ability had always been his pride.
He had followed Karl to the Horn of Fertility and naturally understood the strength of the Merlin Family's camp. There were only a few Archmages, and there wasn't even a single High Rank Archmage. Wouldn't it be easy for him to capture Mafa Merlin?
In his eyes, this matter wasn't difficult at all.
Moreover, he, who had always been with Patriarch Karl, had heard about the situation in the Flame Demon Fort. That youth called Mafa Merlin kept asking for an exorbitant price several times, making Patriarch Karl gnash his teeth in anger.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sir Arthus …" Rhett nodded with a smile. In fact, he had thought of this method when Arthus first arrived, but it was too abrupt for him to suggest it. Fortunately, Arthus had always been loyal and devoted to the Watson Family and wouldn't shirk anything.
'This time, that damned Mafa Merlin is out of luck.'
After all, in his Demonic Shape, Arthus' strength was at the peak of the 7th Rank of the Sword Saint realm. Capturing a 6th Rank High Mage like Mafa Merlin could be said to be effortless, he could easily accomplish it.
Moreover, no clues would be left behind. Even if the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land suspected the Watson Family, they wouldn't be able to take out any evidence and could only suffer in silence.
It had to be said that this was a perfect plan.
"Sir Rhett, no need to be polite, I'll go bring back Mafa Merlin right now …" Arthus sneered, his body emitting a bone-chilling aura. After saying that, he turned into a black light and quickly rushed out of the Watson Family's camp. After ten minutes, he was already in the sky above the Merlin Family's camp.
Looking at the neatly arranged barracks below, he quickly locked onto the special barracks in the middle. In an instant, his body exuded a strong smell of sulfur. The black robe on his body was instantly torn apart, and long fingernails grew on his two palms that were exposed. At this moment, he looked extremely ferocious. His long fangs flickered with a dim light, and he revealed a bloodthirsty aura. With a low roar, he swooped down towards the barracks in the middle.
At this moment, Arthus was a complete and utter demon.
"Roar …"
But at this time, a deafening dragon roar suddenly rang out. Then, countless pieces of ice condensed in the sky as a silvery white figure flashed across the horizon, charging towards Arthus at an extremely fast speed.
"What!"
Arthus, in his Demon form, was dumbfounded. He naturally recognized that it was an adult Frost Dragon, and its strength seemed to be above his own.
Then, a Dragon Claw slowly extended over.
"Rumble …"
Arthus didn't even have time to react before he was struck by a terrifying force, his body uncontrollably smashing into the ground. With an earth-shattering sound, a ten-meter-deep crater appeared in the ground. Arthus, who had turned into a Demon, had already returned to his human form. His skin was overflowing with blood, making him look particularly miserable.
"Damn, truly damnable …"
The seriously injured Arthus fiercely cursed a few times before crawling out of the crater. He was panting heavily as he turned to look at the Merlin Family's camp in the distance. Fear could be seen in his eyes. That Frost Dragon's strength was truly too terrifying.
He still had lingering fears.
Fortunately, he had been in his Demon Shape. If he had been in his current state, he would have already lost his life.
Thinking of this, Arthus wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and no longer had the courage to stay there. He roused his Aura to its peak and quickly rushed back to the Watson Family's camp.
"Rhett, Rhett! Our information was wrong, the Merlin Family isn't as simple as we thought! There is clearly a Frost Dragon hiding there! Damnit, truly damnit … "
After ten minutes, Arthus rushed into Rhett's living quarters, cutting a sorry figure.
"This … This …"
Rhett was clearly stunned when he saw the bloodied Arthus. It took him no less than ten seconds to react. As he recalled Arthus' words, disbelief could be seen on his face. "How could this be? A Dragon that can injure you like this is at least level 38 …"
He simply didn't believe Arthus' words. He knew a bit about the situation in the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land, but he had never heard that the Merlin Family had such a terrifying Dragon.
Moreover, how could such a noble Dragon stay in the Merlin Family?
"You don't believe me?" Arthus' voice was somewhat flustered and exasperated. He had helped Rhett and almost lost his life, but the other side didn't believe him. He couldn't help getting angry. "My injuries are the best proof, why would I lie to you?"
"Okay … I believe you, Sir Arthus, you should go rest first …" Sensing Arthus' anger, Rhett tactfully didn't mention the matter of the Dragon. He hurriedly smiled and fished out a few precious potions from his pocket. "These are useful for your recovery …"
"Hmpf!"
After coldly snorting, Arthus took the potions from Rhett's hands, the anger in his heart somewhat dissipating. Taking out such precious potions proved that Rhett was sincere.
"Phew …"
After watching Arthus leave, Rhett sighed in relief, a puzzled expression appearing on his face. 'What's going on with that Dragon?'
But Lin Yun already knew what had happened from Reina's mouth, but he didn't have time to pay attention to the Watsons.
As for why he knew that it was someone from the Watson Family …
In fact, the reason was very simple. Just over an hour ago, he had Xiuban teach Mark a lesson, and then a guy with a Demonic Bloodline appeared, pretending to be a Demon and attacking the Merlin Family's camp.
Even an idiot would be able to guess that it was the Watson Family's doing.
"Reina, help me …" Lin Yun glanced at Reina and fished out a piece of paper from his pocket, handing it to her. "I need the alchemy materials recorded on this. Take this paper to the Ghost Valley and look for Cousin William. Once you give this paper to him, he will naturally know what to do. Once you gather these materials, you can bring them back. It should take around four to five days …"
Not long ago, Lin Yun recalled that he needed to construct an array to craft a puppet's components, but he didn't have the required ink. He was currently in the Horn of Fertility, trying to come up with a plan for the component. He couldn't leave for a while, so in order to save time, he could only give the task of finding the materials to Reina and William.
"Alright …" Reina nodded and spat out a single word with a cold expression. She took the piece of paper and left.
Not long after Reina left, Lin Yun once again threw himself into the design of the puppet. He had already completed the design of the 2nd component and had drawn the blueprint.
Only one was left …
