Chapter 291: New Magic Array
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
Lin Yun, who had already left, definitely wouldn’t know that his bloodline ceremony would give rise to a heated discussion within a Guardian Tower.
He had already returned to the rlin Family Manor and locked himself in his room for a few days to adapt to the new form of the Magic Array.
The Magic Array had taken on a new shape after the ten Magic Arrays fused into one. The ten previous Magic Arrays were like ten roulette wheels that would slowly rotate when provided with mana. Although in the past they could carry out their tasks almost perfectly under Lin Yun’s control, their independent operations had to be connected by Lin Yun himself, so there would always be a minute gap between each of them.
But it was different now...
The ten Magic Arrays had fused together without any gaps remaining. Although there was no change in how they worked, the efficiency had been raised at least ten tis, and there was no longer any need for Lin Yun to split his attention to control it. As long as he kept mana pouring through it, it would automatically revolve within Lin Yun’s body.
In the past two days, Lin Yun used his new Magic Array to analyze the mysterious characters within the Book of Death and pleasantly found that the efficiency was now completely different compared to before. The work of ten days was done in one, while the consumption was greatly lowered. He only needed to ditate to recover his mana now, while in the past, he’d had to replenish mana via mana crystals to be able to cope with the consumption.
As for the rging of spells and tamagics, it reached next step. Lin Yun already started rging 3rd Tier Spells with tamagics, and perhaps by the ti Lin Yun broke through to beco a 5th Rank High Mage, he would try rging a core spell such as Elental Incarnation with core tamagics such as Instant Cast and Empower Spell.
Lin Yun remained in his room focused on the Magic Array for a few days, and during that ti, even William didn’t dare to disturb him.
Ross actually ca several tis, but was stopped at the door by William’s cold face.
It was the sa today...
“Ross, I already told you that Cousin Mafa is doing sothing very important, yet you are coming here to nag. Don’t bla
for being rude to you.” William was truly angry. ‘We are both High Mages and you also lost to , if I say you aren’t welcod here, it ans you aren’t welcod here!’
William couldn’t help thanking his younger cousin in his heart every ti he recalled that battle.
How could he have a chance to frown and tell Ross to piss off if he hadn’t gone to Thousand Sails City?
He had only been a mber of the younger generation with second-tier strength. A 5th Rank Great Mage who was also a Great Alchemist sounded very formidable, but he wasn’t particularly eye-catching among the nurous geniuses of the rlin Family. He’d ranked between 5th and 8th in the younger generation, which was a whole different level compared to Leon, Aube, and Ross, those top three.
At the ti, William truly thought that he could only look up at them in the future.
But he hadn’t expected that the mission that he had viewed as a sort of exile would send him to see a cousin he had never t who would completely change his life. This felt like coming into contact with a whole new world.
That cousin he had never t before was simply a monster, one that had reached a level that could only be described as unbelievable whether it was in alchemy or in the path of magic. There were quite many tis where he only needed to point out sothing to give William a flash of insight. In contrast, those teachers that he had studied under in the past could only be described as unworthy. Sotis, William even thought of making those teachers co to Thousand Sails City to learn under his younger cousin for a few years so that they would stop hampering the progress of their students.
From 5th Rank Great Mage to High Mage, William only needed half a year. Others might take dozens of years to do the sa thing, and after returning to Okland, William suddenly discovered that Ross, whose back he had been chasing, wasn’t that far ahead anymore. He even beat him with Mafa’s pointers.
“I really have sothing important to discuss...” Ross looked at William with an extrely complicated expression. William had been soone worthless to him not that long ago. Who would have thought that such a worthless person could now talk to him as an equal and even defeat him?
“Forget it, Ross, let
tell you the truth. Cousin Mafa is doing sothing extrely important and cannot be disturbed by anyone. If you have sothing that important, you can tell
first. Once Cousin Mafa is done with his matter, I’ll convey your ssage.”
“This...” Ross watched William for a while before admitting that William didn’t seem to be lying.
He seed sowhat embarrassed...
Ross had been looking into Stan Watson’s death since the previous day.
Because of this, he even paid a visit to the Red Dragon rcenary Group and personally looked for Anna Achilles to ask for so details.
The Red Dragon rcenary Group had been awfully busy because of the chaos caused by Stan Watson’s death. In order to appease the Watson Family, the leader had no choice but to personally apologize and severely punish the commander of that mission, Anna, demoting her from being 1st vice leader to the position of captain. She went from being highly ranked, only under one person, to only being able to lead ten weak rcenaries.
As for that fight in the Aurij Mountains, all information about it was sealed off. Even within the Red Dragon rcenary Group, only a few high ranked rcenaries knew about it.
Fortunately for Ross, he had had so dealings with them in the past and even helped them accidentally once. This ti, he personally went to look for the Red Dragon rcenary Group’s leader. Although the other side was unwilling, he couldn’t refuse. And when Ross suggested using the rlin Family to put so pressure on the Watson Family to stop them from going too far when looking into the death of Stan Watson, the leader sighed in relief.
In the end, the leader of the Red Dragon rcenaries summoned Anna before leaving the room.
Anna’s expression wasn’t very good. This famous Expert Swordswoman seed to be experiencing nightmares, and she looked frightened. She was more or less okay when confronting Ross, but when he started to inquire about the battle, Anna beca deathly pale.
Her mories were even more chaotic. Ross spent a lot of ti asking before he managed to get so of the murderer’s characteristics from Anna.
A young mage in his early twenties, rather thin and pale, wearing a lazy smile. He looked as if he would hate to step on an ant, but once he made a move, he was like a vicious predator hunting his prey.
The murderer wore a black robe with silver lines on the cuffs, the sign of a Great Mage. But the strength he displayed was far higher than what a Great Mage could imagine. The magic staff he held had a fist-sized Elental Amber embedded at the top, which should have been the only valuable weapon of the murderer.
That description puzzled Ross rlin.
First was the age...
As a famous figure of the younger generation, how could Ross not know about the twenty-year-old geniuses? Ross dared to bet that Okland didn’t have a genius Great Mage in his early twenties that could pull off the feat of killing Stan Watson under the protection of the Red Dragon rcenaries. That would have required the strength of an Archmage.
An Archmage in his twenties, how crazy was that?
And even if there were such a person...
Ross couldn’t find him...
Twenty years old, pale and thin, wearing a black robe. That was too vague, there were many such people in Okland. The only clue was the magic staff with an Elental Amber.
After inquiring, Ross left the Red Dragon rcenary Group feeling disappointed.
But he received a surprising bit of news after returning to the rlin Family, that Mafa who ca from Thousand Sails City had already gained permission from the patriarch to enter the Ancestral Land.
This information made Ross suspicious.
After all, the Elder Council had been arguing over this for quite a while. As a mber of the Elder Council, how could Ross not know about this? How could that Mafa suddenly obtain the authorization to enter the Ancestral Land?
Ross clearly knew Patriarch Ofran’s character, he was steadfast and wouldn’t just push his own agenda. He had been bound by the Elder Council for many years, but he wasn’t the type to fall out with them for a re Great Mage like Mafa rlin.
Unless...
Unless that Mafa rlin made a huge contribution that would make Ofran have no other choice but to allow him to enter the Ancestral Land.
But what would that huge contribution be?
Ross spent an entire night in his room considering it.
He only had a flash of insight later... ‘Isn’t weakening a hostile family a huge contribution? If killing the most outstanding genius a hostile family has nurtured after hundreds of years isn’t a huge contribution, then what is?’
