End of the Magic Era Chapter 248 - Going, Not Going

Chapter 248: Going, Not Going

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

That Crimson Heart ditation Law Set his younger cousin had given him had ten formulas, and furthermore, when he gave it to him, Lin Yun had repeatedly warned him that he shouldn’t use the Crimson Heart as a core ditation Formula. Lin Yun also told him that once he had completely mastered the Crimson Heart, he would give him a more formidable ditation Law Set, and only then could he choose his core ditation Law.

In contrast, what was a ditation Law Set with only nine formulas?

In William’s eyes, Solomon was only looking to start a fight. ‘My cousin said you could keep it, so keep it, why stomp your feet like a child... A 9th Rank High Mage like yourself losing your composure because of such a formula... What about your reputation?’

It wasn’t strange for William rlin to think this way.

After all, he was only a Great Mage.

He had only been a 5th Rank Great Mage when he left Okland for Thousand Sails City, and he hadn’t seen that many ditation Law Sets before.

He did know that the more formula there were, the better the ditation Law Set.

But how good could it be?

William truly couldn’t understand. The Crimson Heart ditation Law Set that he was currently using had ten formulas. William only knew that this set was very powerful, but he had very little idea about others.

He had never considered how powerful or great it might be compared to others.

Thus, William truly couldn’t understand when he saw Solomon’s flustered appearance. ‘It’s just a nine-formula set, why would it cause such a great reaction?’

William even felt that this old man had stayed too long in the small Thousand Sails City and had never been outside of it, had never seen the world. If he told this High Mage that his own ditation Law Set had ten formulas, how would he react?

‘Hold on... This isn’t right...’

William thought about it before suddenly realizing where his thinking had gone astray.

That old man who had been staying in Thousand Sails City wasn’t soone who had never seen the world.

That old man’s teacher was Star Sage Jouyi!

‘Could it be that ditation Law Sets with nine formulas are truly that powerful?’

William couldn’t help fidgeting a bit when that thought ca to his mind.

“Err, High Mage Solomon, may I ask, how many formulas does your Cloud Tower’s core ditation Law Set possess?”

“What are you asking for?” Solomon suddenly glanced warily at William. But he then recalled that he was rlin’s older cousin, and from the way rlin didn’t seem to care about the Splendid Starry Sky, William shouldn’t be lacking ditation Law Sets of his own. He relaxed a bit as he thought of that, so he responded, “Nine formulas, just like the Splendid Starry Sky...”

“Then...” William heard that and realized. He managed to calm down and gulped before hesitantly asking, “If... If there were a ten-formula ditation Law Set... Then...”

“Ten formulas? Haha, that would be the number one ditation Law Set of the entire Andlusa Kingdom!” Solomon answered, grinned broadly.

“...” William beca breathless.

‘The number one ditation Law Set of the entire Andlusa Kingdom! I am studying the number one ditation Law Set of the kingdom! And there’s still more!?”

William felt as if he had been struck by lightning as that thought echoed like thunder. He stood there in a daze, his eyes unfocused, mumbling under his breath, “Number one ditation Law Set, number one ditation Law Set, number one ditation Law Set...”

“Did sothing happen?” Solomon couldn’t help feeling strange as William didn’t answer for a long ti.

“Eh, nothing, nothing...” After being asked by Solomon, William recovered from his shock. He casually dodged Solomon’s question before leaving with a sluggish expression, not caring about Solomon’s reaction.

“What’s wrong...”

William was in no state to answer. This genius of the rlin Family was imrsed in the shock brought to him by the Crimson Heart.

When he just started learning the Crimson Heart, William had once thought to himself that the ditation Law Set seed quite powerful. After a short few months, he had beco a 9th Rank Great Mage from his starting point as a 5th Rank Great Mage.

William rembered that his younger cousin had told him that he shouldn’t be too absorbed in the effects brought by the Crimson Heart because this ditation Law Set had flaws. Ten formulas were too few and couldn’t fully evolve the Crimson Heart. The only reason he gave him this ditation Law Set was as a foundation. Once he mastered the Crimson Heart, his cousin would teach him a ditation Law Set that could fully evolve the Crimson Heart, and only then could he choose a core ditation Law Set.

At the ti, William truly hadn’t thought that the flawed ditation Law Set his cousin had talked about would be that formidable.

And yet it was assessed as number one in the entire Andlusa Kingdom by Solomon.

William truly didn’t know what to think now. How formidable was the ditation Law Set that his cousin was planning to give him next?

As he thought of that, William turned and looked at rlin with reverence.

He felt that he truly couldn’t understand this younger cousin. He thought he knew him well enough, but now that he looked back, William felt that his cousin was shrouded in more mysteries than ever before.

‘Fortunately, fortunately... Fortunately, I went to Thousand Sails City, fortunately, I chose to cooperate with my younger cousin...’

Although he was known as one of the geniuses of the rlin Family, ranked number five among the younger generation, what did he amount to in the end?

His future in the rlin Family had already been decided. He would never be able to compete with Leon rlin for the Patriarch position. His path would end at being sent to a territory to manage it while looking up at the high and mighty patriarch.

But now.

William believed that as long as he was given so ti, he would definitely be able to compete for the patriarch position. What about Leon? William had the number one ditation Law Set, his future seed boundless. He would only need a few years before being able to surpass this older cousin that he had always been forced to look up to, and then he would be able to look down at him instead.

If he had the help of his younger cousin, the position of patriarch would be within reach. Who in the entire rlin Family could rival this younger cousin?

Naturally...

William was also thinking of sothing else.

If he gave up on the patriarch position and focused on following that younger cousin, perhaps he would have the opportunity to leave his na in the annals of history.

“Everyone, we might encounter so danger.” Lin Yun finished deliberating just as William was growing restless. He stood back against the void and told the entire group, “In short, we will cross the entire plane. What this journey entails, I myself do not know...”

“Crossing the entire plane?” Suyass was startled. As one of the strongest of the rcury Tower, Suyass had already been in planar expeditions a dozen tis in the past ten years. So were already under the control of the rcury Tower, while so were still being explored.

But one thing was certain. He wouldn’t dare to suggest crossing an entire plane even for the ones that were already under the control of the rcury Tower.

A plane was an entire world of its own, especially one like this, which was like an endless void as far as the eye could see. There was no end, no boundary, and it would be very difficult to make others believe that they could cross it.

“Yes, crossing the entire plane.” Lin Yun looked at Suyass before repeating it again. He continued, “I believe everyone is already aware that this is a plane higher than Noscent, it surpasses any known plane. Even an Archmage would be like an ant after entering it. A gust, a drizzle, even a grain of sand might possibly tear us apart. Thus, I’m asking everyone here. Those who want to co with , I’ll welco, but I’ll not make things difficult for those who don’t want to join .”

“Moreover...” After pausing there for a mont, Lin Yun added, “This trip is very dangerous, so I think we should make so small changes to the joint exploration team’s loot distribution.”

“Go ahead, rlin.”

“I suggest that the harvest of this trip shouldn’t be counted as part of the joint exploration team’s harvest. In other words, if you co with , no matter what you gain during your trip, it’ll be your own. Naturally, if you are unwilling to follow , you won’t have a share. What does everyone think?”

“I agree.”

“It seems fair.”

“I agree with rlin’s proposal.”

...

Lin Yun’s suggestion was widely accepted. In reality, the distribution system the joint exploration team had used before was already unsuitable for this place. And the people present were all Lin Yun’s staunch supporters apart from Fran and Suyass. Being able to get more rewards on the trip was sothing they would try to refute.

Lin Yun’s expression grew more serious when he saw that everyone was rushing to agree because he knew that they all wanted to get the biggest harvest during this trip. In other words, everyone wanted to follow him deeper into the Heaven Enlightening Plane.

But the dangers of the Heaven Enlightening Plane weren’t ordinary.

In fact, if it weren’t for him wanting to clear up those questions, Lin Yun would never be willing to risk entering the Heaven Enlightening Plane now.

Thus, Lin Yun had no other choice but to emphasize once more.

“I’ll repeat once again, the danger of this journey is greater than you could have ever imagined. Everyone had better think about it and make a clear decision. I definitely won’t force anyone, and you can imdiately return if you wish... Except Xiuban!”

“Why can’t I!?” The Draconic Beastman imdiately interjected.

As for the why...

“Xiuban, we have a contract...”

“...” The Draconic Beastman felt like crying. ‘If I had known earlier that it would end up like this, I would have resisted that Ghost Wolf and wouldn’t have signed that damn contract. How am I supposed to survive if we keep going to these dangerous places all the ti?’

‘Fuck, I’m only a Draconic Beastman, I’m not a real Dragon!’

Although the bitter face of the Draconic Beastman was very laughable, no one could laugh at this ti because they finally understood.

Whether it was Lys, Solomon, Fran, or Suyass, they all understood from that young Great Mage’s words that this ti, even he was uncertain of their success.

Otherwise, rlin wouldn’t have said these words, given his temperant.

This was like telling everyone that he wasn’t confident in this adventure but that he was willing to take the risk for so special reasons. But it would be best to not go if they weren’t confident enough.

Many people started hesitating this ti.

They all ca here because they trusted the young Great Mage, believing that he would be able to deal with all the problems. But now, even rlin himself wasn’t confident. What awaited them ahead might truly send them to their deaths.

‘What should I do? Should I not go?’ they thought.

Everyone was considering whether or not they should take this risk. That boundless void might be hiding so incredible wealth, or it might be hiding their doom. What to choose was completely up to each of them.

“I’ll go!” Before long, a voice ca out of the crowd.

The first one turned out to be William!

To be honest, although everyone had experienced the sa long journey, whether it was Lys or Badrack, they didn’t have a good impression of that young genius from the rlin Family.

He was too crafty...

On the way, William had been extrely crafty, hiding during the fights while waiting for everyone else to deal with the dangers first. He had been marked as a disgrace alongside that Draconic Beastman. One crafty and one cowardly, such a pair of weirdos.

If not for Lin Yun, these two would have already been kicked out of the joint exploration team.
