End of the Magic Era Chapter 155 - Ancestral Land

Chapter 155: Ancestral Land

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

After coming out of the reception room, Lin Yun had soone deliver so food before he went back to the alchemy laboratory. As for Leon, Lin Yun had quickly put him to the back of his mind.

One Leon rlin wasn’t enough to make him worry at all. What future Patriarch of the rlin Family, what 33-year-old High Mage, he was nothing in Lin Yun’s eyes. Lin Yun was a 5th Great Mage with three Magic Tools that were at the Spiritual rank or higher. It could be said that any High Mage below 5th Rank would be crushed by him at this point.

Leon was already considered lucky. If it weren’t for Lin Yun having noticed the flaming staff crest when he entered, he would have directly snapped Leon’s neck and wouldn’t have bothered spending the effort to use Mana Shackles.

It was this crest that made Lin Yun rember a certain place, a place that could let him advance to beco a High Mage.

Advancing would inevitably be difficult for him. Who told Lin Yun to choose the most complicated Magic Conducting Rune, the Magic Array, among the countless Magic Conducting Runes?

If Lin Yun had chosen a different one, he wouldn’t have such a headache figuring out the best way to advance right now. Even with the most complicated Extre Forge, Lin Yun would still have three ways to directly reach the High Mage Realm.

But the Magic Array was completely different.

The Magic Array had the most complicated and detailed structure among Magic Conducting Runes. Even soone like Lin Yun, who transcended this era, wasn’t sure of fusing the nine Magic Arrays into one to enter the High Mage realm.

It wasn’t because Lin Yun wasn’t capable enough, but rather because the Magic Array was too powerful.

In fact, Lin Yun had taken ti to work out nurous calculations ever since he ca back from the prince tomb, but regardless of how he looked at it, the result was still the sa. Unless he was willing to remain a 9th Rank Great Mage for a few years and use extre patience and willpower to slowly fuse the nine Magic Arrays into one, Lin Yun would have only a five percent chance of becoming an Archmage.

Moreover, every failed attempt at reaching the High Mage Realm would harm his own Magic Conducting Runes. The first one or two might not be that important, but he might lose the chance to step onto the High Mage realm after the 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th failures.

Lin Yun didn’t want to remain a Great Mage forever.

But earlier, he saw the flaming staff crest on the carriage.

Lin Yun had always felt that the rlin Family sounded a bit familiar. It was only when he saw the crest that he rembered that a millennium later, there would be an Archmage who rose like a cot, and he would be known as the Fla Ruler, Doug rlin, one who was invincible below Heaven Rank.

And this Fla Ruler wasn’t a startling genius at first. He beca a High Mage when he was sixty. This was far from equal to Leon rlin.

But thirty years later, that man had beco soone known as being one undefeatable under the Heaven Rank, sweeping aside all the Archmages of the era.

Indeed, the Magic Conducting Rune of that Fla Ruler was the Magic Array.

Lin Yun clearly rembered that at the ti, the rlin Family had already vanished. The millennium-old Family would be exterminated after a few hundred years. Although the Fla Ruler was a rlin, his rise had nothing to do with the rlin Family. He rose up from the ground, step by step, and the only relationship to the rlin Family were those fifty-odd years spent in the rlin Family Ancestral Land.

But when Doug rlin ca out of that land, it only took him three months to beco a High Mage and then another ten years to beco the strongest Archmage of Noscent.

Thus Lin Yun couldn’t help making a conjecture.

What kind of secret was behind the rlin Family’s Ancestral Land? Doug rlin managed to fuse nine Magic Arrays in one after coming into contact with that secret and reaching the High Mage realm in one go.

Thus, once Lin Yun had nine Magic Arrays, he had to go check the rlin Family’s Ancestral Land; otherwise, he would have two choices left. One was to take his ti and spend a few years to slowly fuse the Magic Arrays, and the other was to bet on the 5% chance by forcibly charging into the High Mage realm.

The secret of the rlin Family’s Ancestral Land seed much simpler in comparison.

But it wasn’t suitable to be truly at odds with the rlin Family.

Naturally, this didn’t an that Lin Yun could sit and watch the rlin Family lust after his own Nether Iron Vein.

Thus, after so hesitation, Lin Yun had chosen to use Mana Shackles. This was a common thod for higher ranked mages to crush lower ranked mages, sealing away their magic. There was only one way to undo the Mana Shackles, that was to find the key to the Mana Shackles.

That key was actually a word incanted when the Mana Shackles were applied.

And Lin Yun had actually used one of the seven characters that he had learnt from the Book of Death. Besides him, there should be no one in all of Noscent that was able to undo it.

Lin Yun wanted to use this to make the rlin Family know that if they wanted the Nether Iron Vein, they had to be prepared to pay the price.

He knew that a force like the rlin Family was greedy and cunning. If they could effortlessly obtain the Nether Iron Vein, they definitely wouldn’t have one iota of leniency towards him just because he was a child of the rlin Family.

But once they found out that this child was not to be trifled with, they would consider his potential worth.

They would be even more restrained if that child had so power that they couldn’t understand, and they would even use so appeasing thods, and perhaps make a business deal or try so other way to entice him. In short, only benefits were important to a force like the rlin Family. As for what thod they would undertake, it would depend on how they intended to maximize their benefits.

Lin Yun believed that the Mana Shackles on Leon’s body would stop the rlin Family for a while.

What he needed to do now was to quickly form nine Magic Arrays.

Only then would he leave for Okland to pay a visit to the rlin Family’s Ancestral Land.

But if he wanted to form the remaining Magic Arrays, Lin Yun had to go to Vaughn Laboratory. It was because Vaughn had a set of Crystal Scales, and although each part was only Spiritual level, together they were not inferior to a True Magic Tool. Furthermore, besides the shocking strength of the Crystal Scales, they also had an extrely special Magic Tool Spirit. It was said that this Magic Tool Spirit was created by Vaughn himself by using a soul. It could push the computational ability of the user to a frightening realm.

Lin Yun had promised Lys that he would join the exploration with the major forces of Thousand Sails City mainly because of this set of Crystal Scales.

If Lin Yun could get a hold of these Crystal Scales and use them while analyzing the 8th character of the Book of Death, the speed at which he carved the Magic Array would be raised ten tis!

After Lin Yun returned to the alchemy laboratory, he once again opened that piece of paper and continued working on the calculations that he had yet to complete.

At this ti, Leon still had yet to leave the Gilded Rose’s reception room.

The future Patriarch of the rlin Family looked at William with a dull gaze.

“Didn’t you say he is a 5th Rank Great Mage?”

“Indeed, he is a 5th Rank Great Mage...” William couldn’t help shaking his head when he saw the dazed expression of this proud scion.

‘Why did you bother saying all that? I did remind you several tis that our cousin’s temper is not very good. You insisted on showing off the imposing might of a future Patriarch, putting on the halo of a High Mage, and you thought you could easily convince our cousin? Did you think he had never seen a High Mage? And now, the High Mage has turned into an ordinary person, how can you explain when you go back...’

“5th Rank Great Mage... How could this be...” Leon couldn’t believe it no matter what. How could a 5th Rank Great Mage use restrain him with Mana Shackles?

“Okay, don’t talk about what’s possible and what’s impossible...” Seeing his appearance, William was disinclined to talk about it again, so he only kindly reminded, “I advise you to quickly return and think of a way to remove the Mana Shackles. Otherwise, you might be in great trouble when Aube cos back from the rcury Tower.”

After saying that, William left the reception room, leaving Leon rlin by himself. He was standing there, a bitter smile on his face.

‘Return quickly? It’s not that easy...’ he thought. ‘How I can return like this? I sneaked to Thousand Sails City this ti because I heard that besides the Nether Iron Vein, that Mafa rlin also had gained a vast amount of wealth from the Gilded Rose. That’s why I wanted to recruit him.

‘I had thought that by using my strength as a High Mage and the status as the future Patriarch of the rlin Family, that Mafa would definitely throw himself under my wings once I promised to help him return to the rlin Family. At that ti, not only would I get hold of the Nether Iron Vein, but I would also gain the wealth produced by the Gilded Rose. At that ti, I would be almost certain to win the competition for the Patriarch’s seat. There shouldn’t have been an issue...’ He lanted.

‘So why did it end up like this?’
