If it had been someone else, Deloy naturally wouldn't have dared to do this, but after dealing with him a few times, Deloy had a clear understanding of Lin Yun's character. He definitely wouldn't take a hard approach, and using a soft approach might yield some benefits.
Sure enough, Deloy scattered his mana and put away his staff, not defending himself at all. This made Lin Yun frown.
"Sir Deloy, please move aside. This guy has provoked us time and time again. Today, I'll send him to meet His Majesty Wagrein."
Deloy's face was a bit pale as he bitterly smiled.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, please calm down. If there is something to say, we can discuss it. Daryl is a bit stupid, he actually disobeyed my orders. Rest assured, after I return, I'll personally escort him to the Thunderbolt Mountain and personally seal his mana. I'll use heavy iron to chain him to the Thunderbolt Mountain and make him suffer three years of lightning punishment.
'Sir Mafa Merlin, with your wisdom, you should be able to see that this guy is a simple-minded idiot. He doesn't think before doing things, he only uses his fists to solve the problem, he doesn't have the slightest bit of thought to change his mind.
"But you are different from him. His wisdom is at most that of an ugly Gaugass Marmot, while you are not only a powerful Archmage, but from your runic reserves, I can see that your wisdom is at the peak of all Archmages. I also heard that you are a formidable Artisan.
With your wisdom, you can't compare with that stupid groundhog Darryl. Please calm down first and use your wisdom to think about it a bit. You'll know that what I said is true.
"I already reported it to King Christo, and King Qian repeatedly exhorted me to treat H.e. Mafa Merlin with the friendliest attitude. We can cooperate in many areas, and the Gaugass Battlemages can have a very good friendship with you.
"Don't bother with that stupid groundhog Daryl. Killing him would be letting him off too lightly. He violated the King's orders, he violated my orders, so what awaits him is a terrifying punishment." I believe that with your profound knowledge, you must know how frightening the punishments of Gaugass are. Many people would rather die than face those frightening punishments.
"Let him pay the price for his foolishness. But as the future pillar of the Merlin Family, it isn't worthwhile for you to let that stupid guy die a bit faster and suffer a bit less. Getting in conflict with our Gaugass Battlemages isn't worth it …"
Deloy quickly said a bunch of things, making Daryl, the leader of the Gaugass Battlemages, sound like a nail-sized mouse.
Daryl had just recovered from his daze. He looked at Deloy, but before he could say anything, Deloy unhesitatingly slapped him. In an instant, an imperceptible bolt of lightning drilled into Daryl's body.
With this slap, the heavily injured Daryl completely fainted.
Lin Yun coldly looked at Deloy.
"Sir Deloy, are you threatening me?"
Deloy bitterly smiled.
"It's a misunderstanding, H.e. Mafa Merlin, please don't misunderstand. How could I be threatening you? I'm speaking from your point of view. You see, I know that idiot Daryl was too excessive, and I even wanted to use lightning to kill him, but you killed him. No matter how stupid he was, no matter how wrong he was, he was still the leader of our Gaugass Battlemages.
"At that time, regardless of whether the Gaugass Battlemages were willing or not, they would have to become enemies with you, and it wouldn't be good for either side.
"Moreover, you were too merciful in killing that idiot Daryl. How could a simple death make up for his mistakes? You have to let him experience the terrifying punishments of the Gaugass Battlemages. Only those punishments that make all Gaugass Battlemages feel fear can make him make up for his mistakes.
"You are extremely knowledgeable and wise, you definitely know how frightening that is. To be honest, I've been proposing to abolish those punishments. This time, I'll personally report it to the King and let that idiot experience it.
"Punishment and torture day and night is what Daryl deserves the most.
"Moreover, wouldn't this appease your anger even more? "Moreover, the friendship between you and our Gaugass Battlemages wouldn't be harmed in the slightest. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Deloy looked as if he was thinking from Lin Yun's point of view, but Lin Yun's expression was still cold, and his mana hadn't scattered.
Deloy's low attitude and lack of defense was equivalent to handing his life over to Lin Yun, so Lin Yun really couldn't make a move.
But letting Daryl off like that was absolutely impossible.
Deloy keenly noticed that Lin Yun was a bit moved. It was clear that his words and persuasion had some effect.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, just letting him receive the harshest punishment is far from enough. Not only did he waste a lot of your time, but he also consumed a lot of mana. The effects are very bad, so how could you let him off so easily?
"In the Raging Flame Plane, Daryl has thirteen ore veins under his name. Seven of them are large-scale rich ores, including Meteorite Magic Iron, Star Essence Gold, and Gold Mithril. I believe that with your power as an Artisan, you should know that these are the most precious magic metals. They are completely qualified to be used in the forging of True Spirit Magic Tools.
"The remaining six are also medium-sized magic ore veins. Although they aren't that precious, they are the most complete.
"You can find precious ores that could be used normally, as well as some precious accompanying gems. Last month, I even found an egg-sized Bloodstone. That was a first-rate catalyst material.
"These things are completely wasted in the hands of an idiot like Daryl. Only a powerful Artisan like H.e. Mafa Merlin could keep these precious things from being buried.
"Apart from these thirteen ore veins, there are also some precious accompanying gems that were previously mined. They are all stored in our camp. I'll personally deliver them to you later …"
Deloy had spent a lot of capital. He had obtained thirteen rare magic metal ore veins. The magic metal produced by these thirteen ore veins was enough for an alchemist to use most of the materials, and they were all relatively precious.
Moreover, those magic metal ore veins with a large number of accompanying gems were even rarer. In the hands of an Artisan, they were definitely more precious than a rich ore vein.
Meteorite Magic Iron and Gold Mithril were both things that Lin Yun urgently lacked. The demand for some puppet components wasn't small.
Moreover, there was also that Bloodstone. After grinding it into powder, it would become a first-rate catalyst. Lin Yun had many potions that couldn't be compounded even if he collected the materials because he lacked the most important catalyst.
Low grade catalysts couldn't be compounded into first-rate potions.
Deloy quickly reported the names of a bunch of materials, and Lin Yun's eyes couldn't help shining. He then glanced at the mangled and bloody Daryl, who was still bleeding, and felt that this wasn't too bad.
With these ore veins, there was a chance that the puppet's power could be restored to surpass the Archmage realm, but it wouldn't be able to compare to the Heaven Rank.
After all, the gap between the Archmage realm and the Heaven Rank wasn't much different from the gap between mortals and Gods. If that Heaven Rank puppet could recover its power beyond the Archmage realm, even if it couldn't compare to the Heaven Rank, it would be enough to sweep away all Archmages. Even existences like Hören and the Star Sage might not be its match.
There were also those accompanying gems. With those Bloodstone Gems, they might be able to be compounded into an extremely powerful potion. With that potion, his life would be guaranteed, and he couldn't give up on it.
In comparison, Daryl's life wasn't that important.
Lin Yun was a bit tempted, and his killing intent greatly weakened.
At this time, Deloy immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, you understand that killing that idiot Daryl isn't worth it. Moreover, it would be letting him off too easily. How about we do as I say? If you are dissatisfied with anything, just say it, I definitely won't haggle … "
A hesitant expression appeared on Lin Yun 'face.
A pleading expression appeared on Deloy's face.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, alright, I'll tell you the truth. Please let Daryl off. Although that guy's intelligence is comparable to that of a stupid mouse, he is still the Commander of our Gaugass Battlemage Legion. I can't just watch him die. I'm begging you to let him live. Let him suffer and pay a sufficient price for his life …"
Deloy had a pleading expression.
Lin Yun coldly snorted.
"Alright, starting today, I don't want to see that idiot appear in front of me again. If I see him again, don't blame me for being impolite. When the time comes, no one will be able to stop me from killing him!"
A pleasantly surprised expression appeared on Deloy's face as he promptly nodded.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, rest assured, starting today, he definitely won't appear in front of you again. Everything he said before was true. I'll immediately send him back to accept his punishment. I'll also immediately have someone hand over the thirteen magic metal veins under his name, as well as the accompanying gems he mined before …"
Lin Yun impatiently waved his hand, and Deloy picked up the unconscious Daryl. He didn't have time to treat Daryl's wounds and stop the bleeding as he hurriedly left after apologizing to Lin Yun.
