In this era, the Black Tower might only be one of the many forces of the kingdom, and in the eyes of many people, it couldn't be considered a peak force of the kingdom. But Lin Yun knew that in a few decades, the Black Tower would quickly rise and join the Cloud Tower as the two most powerful mage forces of the fallen kingdom.
At its peak, the Black Tower controlled the entire eastern part of the kingdom and had a dozen planes of various sizes. It nurtured countless powerful mages, and its fighting strength could be ranked among the top in all of Noscent.
When the Mage Eye found that bloodstained robe, Lin Yun had already made many conjectures.
Lin Yun had been wondering who had entered the Bone Plane first. Was it the original owner of this house, or was it Locke Merlin, who had bought the house later? But Lin Yun had never thought that it would be a mage of the Black Tower.
Although the current Black Tower wasn't as powerful as it would be a few decades later, they definitely had one or two Archmages. If they knew of the existence of the Bone Plane, Lin Yun wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it.
Moreover, Lin Yun clearly remembered that the Black Tower had never controlled the Bone Plane.
'Could it be that the mage who met with misfortune in the Bone Plane didn't have time to send the news back to the Black Tower?'
The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more strange he felt. He carefully sized up the Spiritual Magic Staff in his hand while pondering the reason behind all this.
'Hold on …' Lin Yun 'gaze once again fell on the tail of the magic staff.
Lin Yun had been dumbstruck when he saw the black lightning symbol, so he hadn't been able to take a closer look. This time, Lin Yun could clearly see that there was a spear in the middle of the lightning symbol at the end of the staff.
'I know …' Lin Yun now understood.
Lightning and spear, this was the symbol used by the black tower 300 years ago.
At that time, the highest authority of the Black Tower was still the Council of Seven. The Battlemages from Gaugass still had three seats in the Council of Seven. Up until three hundred years ago, when the Black Tower underwent a huge change, the entire Black Tower fell apart. The Battlemages from Gaugass announced their separation from the Black Tower and migrated back to the Savage Highlands. From then on, the Black Tower forever lost its symbol.
In other words, the pile of bones on the ground was at least 300 years old …
Thinking of this, Lin Yun suddenly understood.
That's right, that unfortunate mage in the Bone Plane most likely didn't send any information back, to the point that the Black Tower only knew that this place was strange, but they didn't know that this place was related to a Planar Path leading to the Bone Plane. Moreover, the Gaugass Battlemages withdrew from the Black Tower, making the Black Tower spend two hundred years to replace them.
Otherwise, how could the Black Tower possibly let go of the incredibly fertile Bone Plane?
But in recent years, it seemed that someone had started paying attention to this place.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. Ever since coming to this era, the Monchi Family had been targeting this house again and again. How could Lin Yun not feel it? At first, it was Fario with a promissory note, and then it was the 9th Rank Mage of the Viper Nest, Larry.
Whether it was Fario or Larry, they both had the shadow of the Monchi Family behind them.
Lin Yun even suspected that Locke Merlin's shipwreck might have been related to the Monchi Family.
But fortunately, it was only the Monchi Family that had appeared.
In other words, the one paying attention to this place most likely wasn't the entire Black Tower, but rather a powerful person of the Black Tower. That powerful person most likely had a seat in the Black Tower's Council, or else they wouldn't be able to easily dispatch two Great Alchemists to serve the Monchi Family.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun somewhat relaxed.
As long as it wasn't the entire Black Tower paying attention, there wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Lin Yun only lacked a bit of time. As long as Lin Yun was given enough time to let Lin Yun obtain the Book of Death, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Because Lin Yun knew that this Extraordinary Magic Tool wasn't just the crystallization of the entire Bone Plane's power, it was also the control center of the entire Bone Plane.
As long as he had the Book of Death, Lin Yun would be able to thoroughly control the Bone Plane. No one or any force would have the opportunity to encroach on the Bone Plane. At that time, they would no longer be facing Lin Yun, nor would they be facing the Bone Plane, but rather the Laws of the entire universe.
Now, what Lin Yun had to do was race against time. He had to upgrade his Magic Arrays to five as soon as possible and have the power of a High Mage. Only then would Lin Yun be qualified to plot against the Book of Death.
Once he obtained the Book of Death, Lin Yun wouldn't even need the Planar Path, because the Book of Death itself was the key to the Bone Plane. Lin Yun could enter the Bone Plane as he pleased and manipulate everything within it. At that time, the powerhouse of the Black Tower would have to worry that Lin Yun would use the entire Bone Plane's power to deal with him.
But five Magic Arrays required too much time. If Lin Yun relied on himself to construct them, three to five years would be considered short.
The only shortcut now was the Reincarnation Eyes in the prince tomb.
'It looks like I should form a caravan after returning to the Poison Fog Canyon.'
After confirming that he wasn't in any danger for the time being, Lin Yun put away his magic staff and started searching for the three-hundred-year-old skeleton.
That skeleton had been in the Bone Plane for at least three hundred years, yet it showed no signs of becoming an Undead. After all, this was the Bone Plane where death energy was everywhere, yet such a skeleton was actually able to resist the corrosion of death energy. This made Lin Yun somewhat surprised.
But two hours had already passed, and Lin Yun didn't have time to investigate the reason behind it. Lin Yun only wanted to quickly plunder all the remains of the skeleton and leave the Bone Plane as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Planar Path closed, Lin Yun would have to stay in the Bone Plane forever.
Unfortunately, his next harvest was far inferior to the previous one.
Lin Yun only found an Inheritance Ring after searching for a long time. As for its specific effects, Lin Yun didn't have time to test it for the time being. He could only slowly study it after returning to the Gilded Rose.
After making sure that he didn't miss anything, Lin Yun stood up and reached out to grab the light from the Light spell. After illuminating the surroundings, he planned on returning to the surface.
But who would have thought that Lin Yun's illumination would cause a problem …
