"Let me take a look at the list of alchemy items shipped this time."
"Yes, Boss Merlin."
Remy quickly brought over a list of several dozen alchemy items, most of which were potions. After asking Remy, Lin Yun learned that it was because the Silver Moon Mercenary Group's expedition to Edge Rift wasn't going too smoothly. There were already a lot of casualties on the periphery, so most of the recent orders were for potions.
"Potions …" Lin Yun understood.
It looked like the trouble caused by the Hope Potion …
If that was the case, there was no need to be so anxious, because Lin Yun believed that the Viper Nest's people would come looking for him sooner or later.
Lin Yun put down the list in his hands and didn't ask Remy anything. He calmly waited in the Gilded Rose. In fact, Lin Yun didn't have to wait too long. He didn't even have to wait for an hour before Remy knocked on the door.
"Boss Merlin, Boss Merlin …" Remy's voice sounded a bit anxious.
Lin Yun calmly opened the door and asked, "What's wrong? Someone's here?"
"Yes … Yes, two people just came, a Mage and a Warrior. They said they were from the Viper Nest and wanted to find the Gilded Rose's boss."
"Okay, I got it. Greet them first, I'll be there soon."
Lin Yun changed into a clean black robe and slowly walked to the reception room on the first floor. Just as he opened the door, he saw two guests already waiting there.
One of them looked to be in his forties. He had red hair and a medium build. There was a very long scar on his face, making him look a bit fierce. He was wearing red leather armor, and the greatsword in his right hand was emitting faint mana fluctuations. It should be a pretty good enchanted weapon.
Lin Yun glanced at him and knew that he was most likely a Great Swordsman.
Moreover, he had just advanced to a Great Swordsman.
Because only those who had just advanced wouldn't be able to completely control their Aura. Their Aura would fluctuate at any time, allowing others to judge their true strength with a glance.
This was the same as the Great Mage who had just shattered his Mana Whirlpool.
However, the current Lin Yun wouldn't be able to do that. Apart from the runes circulating in his eyes from time to time, most people wouldn't be able to determine Lin Yun's true strength through the mana fluctuations.
Apart from this newly advanced Great Swordsman, there was another person in the reception room, and it was an acquaintance. This acquaintance was the 9th Rank Mage who had gone with Fario to catch a thief in Lin Yun's house.
But in the end, the thief wasn't caught. Instead, the Ninth-level Mage was dragged into Lin Yun's house and played a game of "I ask, you answer" for a long time.
"Mage Larry, it's been a while." Lin Yun greeted him politely after entering the guest room.
Initially, this Ninth-level Wizard was sitting there contentedly, closing his eyes to rest as he waited for someone to receive him. However, as soon as Lin Yun spoke, Wizard Larry's entire body stiffened. First, he opened his eyes in disbelief, then he jumped up abruptly.
"Mage … Mage Merlin!"
"Haha, Mage Larry, we meet again."
"Ha … Ha … Haha, yes, yes, what a coincidence." Larry had a stiff smile on his face, but at the same time, he really wanted to slap himself.
'Damn, I actually forgot, isn't the Gilded Rose this guy's business? I actually foolishly delivered myself to his doorstep …'
That was a monster that didn't even have time to breathe after using a dozen metamagic abilities.
Thinking of that terrifying scene, the 9th Rank Mage couldn't help shifting his chair, wanting to hide behind the Great Swordsman.
"What's wrong?" The Great Swordsman strangely looked at his companion. He didn't quite understand, 'Why is the vicious and merciless Mage Larry acting so strangely today?'
"No … It's nothing." Larry raised his head and saw that Lin Yun was looking at him. He immediately shrunk his neck and didn't say another word.
Fortunately, the Great Swordsman didn't take it to heart. Since he couldn't get anything out of him, he just stood up and put his hands on the long table in the reception room. Coupled with the Aura being emitted from his body, he gave off a somewhat oppressive feeling.
"You are Mafa Merlin?"
"That's right, I am Mafa Merlin." Lin Yun nodded and sat across from the Great Swordsman.
"Very good, Mafa Merlin, I came here today to ask you one thing. Your Gilded Rose's caravan has already intruded into the Viper Nest's territory four times. Do you want to test the limits of the Viper Nest's tolerance?"
One had to admit that the Great Swordsman's domineering question, coupled with his oppressive attitude, really had the intention of gaining the upper hand by a show of strength. If it had been someone with less courage, they might have been scared off.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun's courage wasn't small at all …
"That … Can I take the liberty to ask …" Lin Yun didn't even bat an eyelid as he looked at this unknown Great Swordsman. "Who are you?"
"I …" The Great Swordsman almost choked on his saliva. 'My question is so domineering, yet your question is so low. Of all the things you could have asked, why did you have to ask me who I am?
'Calm down, calm down …'
The Great Swordsman counted to ten in his mind and forced himself to calm down before proudly answering, "I am Lyos."
"Oh, Lyos, I've heard so much about you, I've heard so much about you …" Lin Yun yawned.
"…"
Lyos, who had just calmed down, suddenly felt his forehead twitch.
"Mafa Merlin, don't interrupt me. I came here today to ask you, your Flashing Gold chamber of commerce's caravan has intruded into the Viper Nest's territory four times. Do you want to provoke the Viper Nest?"
"Absolutely not!"
"That's good …" Lyos' expression eased up a bit. Fortunately, although this Mafa Merlin's words were annoying, he still knew how powerful the Viper Nest was. Lyos coughed and cleared his throat before putting his hands on the table and proudly saying, "Now, our Viper Nest needs an explanation."
"What explanation?"
"What explanation? Think about it yourself."
"You mean compensation?"
"Hmph!" Lyos coldly snorted, but he was secretly pleased. It seemed that he really was a genius at negotiation. With just a casual scare, this Mafa Merlin became well-behaved. Once he obtained the Hope Potion's formula, Boss Sauss would definitely reward him.
Unfortunately, a part of the credit had to go to that idiot Larry …
'Right, Larry …'
Lyos felt strange as he thought of this. 'Why has Larry been acting strangely ever since Mafa Merlin came in? Why does it feel like a mouse seeing a cat?'
