114 Spatial Magic Tool (1/2)

'This is so unfair…' Sauss thought.

Sauss had been in Thousand Sails City for so many years, how could he not know the relationship between the Sage Tower and the Ash Tower, they were mortal enemies. The amount of people that died by their hand in the past several hundred years could fill half of the Poison Fog Canyon. Unless there were special circumstances, would Sauss have dealing with the Ash Tower?

This time he was only giving a hand.

Early this morning, a Great Mage from the Ash Tower came looking for Sauss, saying that someone stole an important Magic Tool from the Ash Tower and was now hiding in the depths of the Poison Fog Canyon, and he wanted the Viper Nest's people to catch him.

Sauss thought it through, he wasn't willing to offend the Ash Tower, one of the two major forces of the eastern part of the kingdom, roughly on par with the Sage Tower. Moreover it was just lending a hand. If he quickly caught that person, that Great Mage would leave, right? Thus Sauss straightforwardly agreed.

But in the end...

It was all ruined by Great Mage Merlin.

As he thought of that, Sauss inwardly cursed his idiotic subordinates, 'Stupid trashes, the Poison Fog Canyon is so vast, yet you led him here…'

'Great, now the monster I finally managed to send off came right back!'

Unfortunately, Sauss couldn't say anything...

What else could he do? Should he say, 'Sorry Great Mage Merlin, please wait until the Great Mage from the Ash Tower arrives, if you can't wait to meet with him, how about you just leave?'

Sauss would never be able to say that even if he was ten times bolder.

”Ha… Ha… Haha… Naturally, our Viper Nest is honored if Great Mage Merlin is willing to stay, let's go to my wooden house, I have a few bottles of good wine from Okland. How about I accompany Great Mage Merlin for a drink?” As he said this, Sauss' smile twitched, turning slightly unsightly.

”Haha…” Lin Yun chuckled, he knew what Sauss was scared of, so he didn't beat around the bush, ”It's fine. But I suddenly discovered that this youth you captured is someone from our Gilded Rose, so…”

”Cough cough… Gilded Rose?!” Sauss almost fell down again when he heard that.

'Damn, how could he be someone from the Gilded Rose!'

There was a shadow left in Sauss' heart from when he detained a few Apprentice Alchemists from the Gilded Rose. Now hearing that this person was someone from the Gilded Rose, he almost fainted from fear. At this moment, he inwardly cursed that Great Mage from the Ash Tower along all his ancestors.

'Your Ash Tower isn't happy enough? You don't have enough troubles? Why would you find troubles for the Gilded Rose? Even if you are looking for troubles with the Gilded Rose, don't involve me okay? If you want to have troubles with them, then go on, but I'm still trying to have a life in Thousand Sails City!'

'If you make Great Mage Merlin think that I was colluding with the Ash Tower, how could I still appear in Thousand Sails City?'

'No good, I have to draw a line with the Ash Tower!'

Sauss made his decision almost instantly.

In fact, Sauss didn't know if Lin Yun was telling the truth or not, but what did it matter? Since Lin Yun said he was someone from the Gilded Rose, then he was someone from the Gilded Rose, or did he have to conduct an investigation? Wouldn't that be courting death?

”Turns out it's someone from the Gilded Rose!” After Sauss' heart calmed down, an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face, ”It's a mistake, a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding… Hey, you idiots, why haven't you released that person yet? What are you staring blankly for?”

His subordinates were stupefied...

”Idiots, I told you to release him!”

”Eh, eh, eh…” After being roared at by Sauss, the subordinates reacted and hurriedly released that person while being utterly flustered.

”It's truly a misunderstanding Great Mage Merlin, you are magnanimous, please don't bother yourself with these idiots. They definitely captured the wrong person, they are blind. Wait until I return, I'll definitely teach them a lesson.”

”Haha, Leader Sauss is too polite.” Lin Yun answered courteously. Sauss' attitude this time truly made Lin Yun admire him. It really wasn't by fluke that the Viper Nest became the number one underground force of Thousand Sails City. His ability to judge the situation was like an instinct, he could see which side he should stand on.

When all was said and done, the Viper Nest was a force from Thousand Sails City, no matter how powerful the Ash Tower was, they could at most try to intimidate Sauss. From the beginning, only the Sage Tower could truly influence Sauss' decisions.
