111 Master Alchemis (1/2)
In fact, William Merlin himself was an accomplished Great Alchemist. Although he wasn't an expert in alchemy arrays, he could still understand array designs.
One of the uncrumpled draft papers on the refining table just fell into his sight, his eyes widening open in response, prompting him to glance at Lin Yun with horror filled eyes. That wasn't a look you would use on a normal human being, it was as if William was looking at a monster.
William's mind was simply blank as he stood there in a daze. He was so shocked he couldn't even keep his mouth closed.
'Master, that's a Master Alchemist!'
Many unusual things had happened ever since he came to Thousand Sails City, and he finally had the answer.
How could Mafa Merlin easily rebuild the Gilded Rose, how could Mafa Merlin spend over a million golds at the Black Horn Auction, how could Mafa Merlin have a good relationship with numerous peak characters in Thousand Sails City, how could he maintain a good relationship with Leader Lys...
This was all because Mafa Merlin himself was a Master Alchemist!
'Master, he is really a Master Alchemist…' William stood there with a dull expression.
'I have a Master Alchemist younger cousin!'
Inexplicably, William Merlin was actually proud.
But once the pride washed away, it was replaced by growing fear.
Because William Merlin suddenly recalled how arrogant he had been in front of this Master Alchemist. He ordered such a Master Alchemist to help him with his luggages. And then he made a move on this Master Alchemist and was slapped twice.
Recalling these events, William's legs shook, he subconsciously supported himself with the side of the refining table. 'This is too frightening, I have been so arrogant in front of a Master Alchemist. Yet I'm still alive, was I blessed by the Merlin Family's ancestors?'
'Oh, right, that Faleau told me I should thank Leader Lys for saving my life…'
'I thought he was just mocking me, but it looks like Leader Lys truly saved my pitiful life. Not to mention a Great Mage, even a High Mage can't avoid death after making a move on a Master Alchemist.'
'Among all the High Mages from Okland, who is foolish enough to provoke a Master Alchemist? If a personage like that became unhappy, they could ask an Archmage for a favor, and what could a High Mage do at that time?'
'Fuck, I was quite bold!'
While William Merlin's legs kept shaking, he gritted his teeth as he cursed at himself.
”Talk, what the hell is going on.” Lin Yun noticed William Merlin's appearance, and after staring for a long time, he couldn't help but remind him.
”I…” William opened his mouth, but found out that his voice was weird. He laboriously gulped before opening his mouth again, and managed to say with some difficulties, ”Can I take a seat?”
”...” Lin Yun rolled his eyes at him, thinking, 'Isn't that too much of a change?'
”Sit…”
After hearing Lin Yun's ”sit”, William cautiously sat on a chair next to the refining table, but he didn't dare sitting too comfortably, his posture straight, not even leaning his back on the back of the chair.
As for the reason...
It was because the Master Alchemist was still standing!
”Good, talk now.” Lin Yun didn't have the time to analyze William Merlin's thoughts, he straightforwardly asked him as soon as the latter sat.
”I… I only wanted to ask, do you… Do you possess a Nether Iron Vein?”
”Excuse me?” Lin Yun squinted, looking at William unfriendly.
After all, the Bone Plane was Lin Yun's true foundation.
The Bone Plane's fertility was well-known even during the peak of the magic era. One look at his last trip there was enough to prove this. He got a hold of an Obsidian Flower, a ticket to smoothly progress to Artisan level, and that was without mentioning the harvest of materials and loot.
If a small place like the black wasteland had a heaven defying existence like the Obsidian Flower, then what would there be outside the black wasteland? What else does the Bone Plane hold in store for him?
Furthermore, the Sage Chapter in Lin Yun's hands needed a large amount of Soul Fire.
That was an important item able to increase the efficiency of the Magic Array!
The Bone Plane was crucial to Lin Yun. If he lost the Bone Plane, he would become unable to get the Book of Death, the magic materials would be nothing more than an illusion of the past and the Sage Chapter in his possession would never display its true might.
Lin Yun wasn't willing to bear this kind of loss.
