Daryl instantly paled. 'What did I just do? I actually dared to talk to Prophet Deloy like that! If the King learns of this, even if I don't die, I'll still lose a layer of skin.'
Prophet Deloy had dedicated his life to the Gaugass Kingdom, and the current Gaugass King had been taught by Prophet Deloy when he was young. Most of the peak powerhouses of the Gaugass Battlemages had a master-disciple relationship with Prophet Deloy. Although he didn't have too much authority, his status wasn't low.
It didn't seem like he had much authority, but it was only because Prophet Deloy had always adhered to his duties and had no desire for power. There were many people in the Gaugass Highland who didn't approve of Deloy's views, but everyone was sure that everything Deloy did was for the Gaugass Kingdom.
Anyone who accused Deloy of siding with Okland's mages would be drowned in the spit of all the Gaugass Battlemages before the Gaugass King even opened his mouth.
Although Daryl was arrogant, he also knew that he had just done something stupid. On the side, Kempes was looking at him with shock as if he was looking at a God.
"Sir Deloy, I … I didn't mean it, I … I didn't mean it that way …"
Daryl was a bit panicked and stuttered as he tried to explain, but he didn't understand.
Deloy waved his hand at Daryl, his expression still deep and calm.
"You don't understand, Sir Daryl. You should withdraw first."
Daryl didn't dare to say anything and obediently stood on the side like an obedient grandson, not daring to say a word.
Lin Yun couldn't understand what Deloy was thinking. He had appeared with Daryl earlier, but he had been standing there like an outsider, not saying a word. Now, he suddenly interrupted their fierce battle. Lin Yun didn't believe that Deloy would side with him.
Prophet Deloy's reputation was very good. He was in favor of peaceful coexistence, but his starting point was for the Gaugass Kingdom. Everything was for the interests of the Gaugass Kingdom. He had appeared without saying a word and allowed Daryl to attack. From this, it could be seen that this famous Gaugass Prophet wasn't a good person who was benevolent to all mages.
But now, he kept interrupting the battle and acted as if he didn't want to continue fighting. What was he trying to do?
As Lin Yun was wondering, Deloy's calm expression suddenly became a bit excited.
"May I ask, how did you get the King's Chapter?"
Lin Yun was a bit puzzled and startled. He vaguely felt that the other side was talking about his Magic Tool, but he wasn't sure what he was talking about.
"King's Chapter? Are you talking about the Element Chapter? "
A page of the Book of Death in Lin Yun's hand blossomed with a four-colored radiance, and Deloy couldn't control his excitement.
"It's this, the King's Chapter! How could you have the King's Chapter? Only the successor of the greatest Gaugass King, Jason Wagrein, could obtain it. You … How could you have it? Are you His Majesty's successor?"
Hearing this, Lin Yun's eyes revealed a hint of understanding.
'No wonder I found Jason Wagrein's inheritance and the Element Chapter in the ruins. It turns out that this thing was originally in Jason Wagrein's hands.
The grudges between the Gaugass King and Emperor Zhantui were unclear. Even in the future grave-digging era, they still couldn't figure out what had happened between them.
That floating palace clearly had the style of the 3rd Dynasty. It was clear that Emperor Zhantui had spent a lot of manpower to build it, but it had the inheritance of the Gaugass King.
They were best friends, but it was rumored that they fought a life and death battle in the Tulan Mountain Range. The Gaugass King was defeated and died, while Emperor Zhantui survived.
Lin Yun also felt that this Element Chapter was hidden by Emperor Zhantui, but he hadn't expected it to also belong to the Gaugass King. Moreover, it was called the King's Chapter in the Gaugass Kingdom.
In an instant, a series of thoughts flashed through Lin Yun 'mind.
"I found this in some ruins …"
Deloy's expression became even more excited after hearing Lin Yun's answer. He didn't look like the wise Gaugass Prophet he usually was.
"Can … Can you let me take a look at the King's Chapter? Rest assured, I definitely won't have any bad thoughts. I swear in the name of Emperor Jason Wagrein that I only want to see it with my own eyes and touch the King's Chapter. This has been my wish for many years … "
Lin Yun hesitated. Deloy's reputation was trustworthy. As a Gaugass Prophet, he definitely wouldn't rely on this kind of petty trick to seize the Element Chapter.
Moreover, the Element Chapter had already thoroughly fused with the Book of Death and was already inseparable from the Book of Death. Moreover, the Element Chapter was only attached to the Book of Death. No matter where it was, as long as Lin Yun willed it, he could summon it back unless the other side was powerful enough to thoroughly suppress the Book of Death.
'Letting him take a look isn't a big deal …'
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yun made the Element Chapter manifest. Four-colored lights flowed on the surface of the Book of Death, and a crystal ball blossoming with four colors slowly rose from the Book of Death.
Lin Yun used mana to drag the Element Chapter to Deloy. Deloy knelt on the ground and raised his hands above his head, tears streaming down his face. He was like the most devout believer as he received the Element Chapter.
Deloy held the Element Chapter with both hands and bitterly wept. His eyes were filled with sorrow and nostalgia. After a few seconds, Deloy couldn't bear the grief in his heart and his silent sobs turned into loud wails.
The most respected Prophet of a Gaugass Tribe didn't have the slightest aura of wisdom at this moment. He was like a long-lost traveler finally seeing his family. He knelt on the ground and carefully held the Element Chapter, crying like a child.
Lin Yun foolishly looked at this scene. He could see that these emotions weren't fake. It seemed that there really was a story behind this, so he didn't say anything. He only stood there and watched, letting Deloy continue to wail and snot.
After a long time, Deloy held the Element Chapter with both hands and reluctantly delivered it to Lin Yun.
Seeing the Element Chapter return to the Book of Death, Deloy sighed and said with nostalgia.
"My ancestor once followed His Majesty Wagrein and passed down two things from generation to generation. Apart from the Lightning Spear in his hand, the only thing left was a painting.
"In those days, when my ancestor was still a child, he accidentally lost his way and walked into the territory of a level 35 magic beast. Just as my ancestor was most afraid, His Majesty Wagrein descended from the sky and flashed with flames, instantly killing that magic beast. After all, my ancestor was only a child at the time and only had the strength of a Magic Apprentice. How could he escape from a level 35 magic beast?
"His Majesty Wagrein descended from the sky with a four-colored crystal revolving around him. This scene was later painted into a painting by my ancestor and passed down from generation to generation.
"When I was young, apart from training, I would spend the rest of my time by my grandfather's side. I would look at this painting and listen to my grandfather tell me stories about His Majesty Wagrein. One time, I accidentally dirtied a corner of the painting, and my grandfather broke one of my legs in anger as punishment.
"Our wish, passed down from generation to generation, is to be able to see the King's Chapter with our own eyes and personally touch the King's Chapter, because we were able to pass it down until now because of His Majesty Wagrein, and the Magic Tool His Majesty Wagrein used was the Element Chapter."
Deloy had a nostalgic look on his face as he sighed. Those who hadn't experienced it personally wouldn't understand how important the glory passed down from generation to generation was to His Majesty Wagrein.
"I've let you see a joke, I really couldn't help it. Ever since His Majesty Wagrein disappeared, my ancestor's wish for so many years could never be fulfilled. Now that it has finally been fulfilled, it can be considered as fulfilling my ancestor's dying wish …"
Lin Yun nodded and didn't say anything. With the current situation, they definitely couldn't continue fighting. Darryl was foolishly standing on the side, not daring to move. Kempes was lowering his head, not daring to raise it.
Deloy had a respectful expression as he slightly bowed towards Lin Yun.
"Sir, can you tell me what else you saw when you obtained the King's Chapter? I know this is presumptuous, but this is very important to me. "
Lin Yun curled his lips. What did he see? How could he tell Deloy about it? Letting him take a look at the Element Chapter was already extremely benevolent. As for where he saw the ruins, he absolutely couldn't tell Deloy.
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Deloy understood Lin Yun's attitude.
As for Deloy, he didn't say anything, nor did he pursue the matter. He naturally knew that the conflict had made Lin Yun very uncomfortable. A Gaugass Battlemage wanted to rob him of his things, and he even had the attitude of silencing him. Under such circumstances, it wasn't easy for Lin Yun to not retaliate on the spot.
Now, it was impossible to ask about something that was confidential to everyone.
Deloy also knew this, so he didn't pursue the matter and instead turned to Kempes and angrily shouted.
"Kempes, I'm punishing you to return to the largest Lightning Strike Mountain in Gaugass and mine Lightning Ore for half a year. Do you have any objections?"
Kempes paled. The largest Lightning Strike Mountain, and half a year at that …
This was simply terrible. The bigger the Lightning Strike Mountain, the higher the quality of the Lightning Ore produced. And the largest Lightning Strike Mountain was the only place that could produce first-rate Lightning Ore. The mountain was very tall and pierced through the clouds, its peak already piercing through the thunderclouds.
That mountain was shrouded in thunderclouds all year round, and lightning bolts were constantly falling on that mountain. Even if he had an 8th Rank Arch-Battlemage, he wouldn't last more than three days in that kind of place and would be seriously injured by the lightning bolts.
