95 Black Tower’s Interes (1/2)

The Black Tower of this era was just one of the many forces of the kingdom, and it wasn't considered a peak force in the eyes of the masses. But Lin Yun knew that in at most ten years, the Black Tower would quickly rise and become one of the two strongest forces in the kingdom alongside the Cloud Tower.

At its peak, the Black Tower controlled the entire eastern side of the kingdom and a few dozen planes of all sizes. It bred countless powerful mages, and their fighting strength could be rated as being amidst the top forces of all of Noscent.

Lin Yun had already made some speculations when the Mage Eye first found those bloodstained clothes.

Lin Yun had been wondering who had been the first to enter the Bone Plane. Was it this house's former master, or the following master, Locke Merlin? But Lin Yun hadn't considered that it might be a mage from the Black Tower.

Although the current Black Tower wasn't as formidable as it would be ten years later, it would definitely have one or two Archmages. If they learnt of the existence of the Bone Plane, Lin Yun would never have the opportunity to take advantage of this place.

Furthermore, Lin Yun clearly remembered that the Black Tower never controlled the Bone Plane.

'Could it be that this mage met misfortune in the Bone Plane before he could inform the Black Tower?'

The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He scrutinized the Spiritual Magic Staff in his hand while considering the situation.

'Hold on…' Lin Yun's eyes fell onto the back of the magic staff.

He had been startled by the black lightning symbol and hadn't taken the time to examine it carefully. He understood after taking a longer look at the symbol. There was a lance crossing through the middle of the black lightning symbol.

'I see…' Lin Yun was now able to relax.

Lance and Lightning, that was the symbol used by the Black Tower around three hundred years ago.

At that time, the highest authority of the Black Tower was the Council of the Seven. Battlemage Gaugass had owned three of the seven seats, until the Black Tower underwent a major change. Battlemage Gaugass announced that he was splitting from the Black Tower to migrate 250 kilometers into the Savage Highland. From that point on, the Black Tower forever lost the lance symbol.

In other words, that pile of bones was over three hundred years old.

Lin Yun immediately understood when he recalled this.

Indeed, that unfortunate mage hadn't been able to send news to the Black Tower. The only thing that the Black Tower might know was that there was something unusual about his house, but they surely weren't expecting that there was a Planar Path leading to the Bone Plane. And the dramatic changes happening at the Black Tower due to Gaugass' departure took a bit over two hundred years to settle...

Would the Black Tower have left a place as fertile as the Bone Plane alone if they knew about it?

But it seemed that some people had started paying attention to this place in recent years.

Lin Yun couldn't help frowning while thinking of that. The Monchi Family had been targeting his house continuously ever since he transmigrated. From Fario's debt to the actions of Larry, the 9th Rank Mage of the Viper Nest, how could Lin Yun not see it?

Whether it was Fario or Larry, there was the shadow of the Monchi Family behind them.
