Chapter 513: Smooth
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
“No...”
William shook his head, he had heard countless tales of this legendary commander’s campaigns to every major plane. It would have been impossible for him not to feel pressure if he had faced this commander before.
But it was different now, ever since he ca in contact with his cousin Mafa on that trip to Thousand Sails City, which he considered as an exile at that ti, his fate thoroughly changed. In a bit over a year, he walked the path than an ordinary person might not be able to achieve in ten years, from 5th Rank Great Mage, he advanced all the way to 9th Rank High Mage.
To be honest, he wasn’t feeling any pressure when facing Thorne alone.
Nothing could be done about it, the current William was extrely confident, he had thoroughly researched that 13-Formulas ditation Law Set his cousin recently gave him and then succeeded in destroying his Magic Conducting Runes. And from those remains, he built the even more formidable Magic Conducting Rune known as Well of Stars.
He might just be a 9th Rank High Mage, but he could easily crush a low ranked Archmage when he displayed his full power.
“Sir Thorne, you’d best check it now. Cousin Mafa said that you’ll definitely like this gift...” Wililam thought for a bit, and didn’t put that thing on the table, putting it in front of Thorne instead.
“Hmpf...”
Thorne was clearly stunned, this irascible commander was about to get angry, but when he thought of the relationship between William and the young mage, he suppressed his anger and snorted instead.
“What is it...” After so hesitation, Thorne reached out and took the thing before his eyes. He lifted the layer of paper covering it, exposing the glimring thumb-sized tal ball laying there.
A gloomy smile appeared on Thorne’s face, he looked at William for a few minutes before his voice echoed, “I’ll trouble you to go back and tell High Mage Mafa that I do not have this kind of hobby and I hope he won’t deliver this kind of thing next ti. Oh, right, you’d best take this tal ball away before leaving, it’ll be disposed like garbage if left here.”
“This truly isn’t garbage...”
William could no longer look away when that glimr appeared, envy could even be seen on his face for a split second.
Indeed, envy...
That was a tal ball that looked exquisite on the outside, but wasn’t emitting any mana fluctuation. It was only a curio to most, only people like Mafa rlin and William himself knew how valuable of a treasure it was.
Because half a year ago, William had once been gifted a very similar tal ball from his cousin’s hands, and after following the thod provided by his cousin, his mana doubled the next day.
Indeed, this was the greatest invention of Artisan Vaughn, the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool!
Thorne picked up the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool and fiddled with it, a cold smile on his face, “Since you are saying it’s not garbage, then give
an explanation, and one that shall satisfy ...”
“Haha...”
William had a calm expression as he chuckled, he then took a deep breath and said, “Sir Thorne, let
tell you the origin of this tal, it was created by the final Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty. I believe that if you pay a closer look, you should be able to see it hadn’t been forged in ordinary tal, but in a rare type of magic tal known as Mithril. This tal is only produced in the 40th floor of the Abyss or lower...”
“Oh?”
Sure enough, Thorne’s movents ca to an abrupt stop as William explained, after a careful look, he discovered the peculiarities of the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, “How is it used?”
“It is called Alchemic Mana Whirlpool. Simply put, it can replace Mana Whirlpool without influencing a mage’s ditation and casting. This might help your son Aube beco a mage again, as for what kind of height he would reach afterward, it would depend on his own abilities.”
“Hold on... What did you say?” Thorne was instantly frozen, it was to the point that he almost let that Alchemic Mana Whirlpool fall to the ground. He thought about William’s words a few ti before reacting. He then tightly held the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, unable to stop shaking, “Thank you... Truly, thank you. William, please, you must help
pass on my thanks to High Mage Mafa, thank him for his selfless assistance, no, I have to personally thank him. Also, thank you too, William...”
At this ti, Thorne was truly excited and speechless, his face was flushed and he thanked William three tis, he didn’t have the least bit of commander’s deanor.
Nothing could be done about it, he was too happy.
Half a year ago, Aube rlin’s Mana Whirlpool had been crippled and his magic path had been completely severed. The look of despair his son had was like a knife twisting in his heart, he felt even more pain than Aube.
He had thought about trying to help Aube beco a mage again more than once, but that was simply impossible, he could only fantasize.
But now, the young mage gifted him this Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, giving Aube hope to beco a mage once again.
At this ti, Thorne wasn’t a commander, neither was he a Sword Saint, he was only a father overjoyed that his son could once again tread the magic path.
“What are you thanking
for...” Seeing Thorne completely changing and even thanking himself, William couldn’t help forcing a smile, “Right, Sir Thorne, you don’t need to go over just for that, Cousin Mafa should be coming over to the Fla Demon Fort tomorrow, you can personally express your gratitude at that ti. Oh, right, the way to use the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool is recorded in those papers, if there is sothing you don’t understand, you can ask Cousin Mafa...”
“Yes, yes...”
Thorne tightly held onto the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool in one hand and grabbed onto those papers with his other hand, still incredibly excited.
William laughed and took a deep look at this middle-aged commander soaking in happiness and couldn’t help inwardly sighing with sorrow, ‘That Aube is truly lucky, how could he get a chance to beco a mage again if his father wasn’t Thorne...’
William didn’t say anything else and left the eting room to go back to the Ghost Valley.
It was already evening by the ti William arrived at the Ghost Valley, that blood red scorching sun gradually fading away as the surroundings beca sowhat dusky.
“Looks like it went smoothly...” Seeing William return empty-handed, Lin Yun instantly knew that his cousin had accomplished his task.
As for that Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel regretful...
That was a treasure that could make a mage double his mana. A mage with an Alchemic Mana Whirlpool could overpower a mage on the sa level.
Not to ntion, only six Alchemic Mana Whirlpools appeared in the entire Noscent. Back then, he had gotten those six in the Stone Tower in the Four Season Canyon, but he gave two to Solomon, fused with two, and gave one to William. This ant that he had given Thorne his last one...
It was the only way to eliminate the barrier between him and Thorne...
But, in the foreseeable future, he might possibly rely on his own power to forge Alchemic Mana Whirlpools.
After all, the Ivory Tower ended up seizing Vaughn’s treasury in Crystal Island and found a research report on Alchemic Mana Whirlpools. Later, the Ivory Tower explored the Four Seasons Canyon four tis, yet they didn’t find any trace of an Alchemic Mana Whirlpool.
But Lin Yun already had an Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, if he got a hold of that research report and used it in tandem with his Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, he should be able to craft his own Alchemic Mana Whirlpools as a Peak Artisan.
But Crystal Island was still a farfetched objective for the current Lin Yun.
In a few millennia, a world-shaking war would break out over Crystal Island, no less than ten Heaven Rank powerhouses would fall, as for Archmages, they would be nothing more than cannon fodder in that war.
In the end, the Ivory Tower would reveal its fangs and obtain Vaughn’s treasury, obtaining so ancient records, along with an Ancient God’s corpse.
Regardless of how dangerous the Crystal Island was, Lin Yun had to go over. The soul fragnts within his Demiplane were constantly threatening him, it would be a huge disaster if they awakened. At that ti, he might have no other choice but to give up on his Demiplane.
And there was a way to suppress the soul of an Ancient God in Vaughn’s treasury.
“Exceptionally smooth...” William smiled as he recounted the story, he then couldn’t help grinning, “Aube is truly fortunate...”
“Haha...”
After chatting with William for a short mont, Lin Yun looked for a place to ditate until the next morning. He led the three rlins, Reina, and the Draconic Beastman, who had been sleeping for over half a month, and proceeded towards the Fla Demon Fort.
It had already been half a month since Weiss delivered the Thawing Fire Tribe’s Totem, it was now ti to return it. This was the reason why Lin Yun was rushing towards the Fla Demon Fort since dawn.
After rushing for a few hours, the group of six arrived at the Fla Demon Fort. At this ti, Lin Yun could clearly sense that the Fla Demon Fort’s troops had been greatly reduced since the last ti he was there, but he imdiately relaxed. With the destruction of the Thawing Fire Tribe, the land controlled by the rlin Family in the Raging Fla Plane had expanded by two or three tis, the rlin Family having to spread their troops was sothing inevitable.
