115 Lava Dominator (1/2)
This display was a bit too arrogant...
Even the always slick and sly Sauss couldn't help snorting.
Sauss from the start hadn't planned to become cannon fodder stuck between two forces. He only handed over that person to Lin Yun as it presented Sauss with an easy way out of that situation. At that time, he only felt that in consideration of his position as the master of the Poison Fog Canyon, no matter how dissatisfied the Great Mage from the Ash Tower was, he wouldn't take his anger out on him.
But he hadn't expected that the other side wouldn't give him any respect and say outright that there was no need for the Viper Nest to exist.
Sauss almost spat blood in anger...
'Even if your Ash Tower is one of the two major forces of the eastern part of the kingdom, you shouldn't forget that this is Thousand Sails City, not Oddrock City. Even if your Ash Tower is powerful, is it powerful enough to step over the Sage Tower? Saying that the Viper Nest doesn't need to exist… What do you take the Sage Tower for?'
Sauss' face was gloomy, ”Great Mage Lonald, you words are a bit too much, the Ash Tower is the Ash Tower, the Viper Nest is the Viper Nest. I don't think that the Viper Nest's way of handling things has anything to do with Great Mage Lonald?”
”Sauss, you really aren't smart enough.” After saying that, the young Great Mage looked at Lin Yun as if looking at an already dead man, ”As for you, I'll give you ten seconds to hand over that person, or else…”
”Or else what?” Lin Yun was still smiling.
”Or else you won't leave this place.”
”Lonald, who are you trying to stop?” William Merlin got down from the carriage at this time.
”It's you! William Merlin!” Just when William opened his mouth, the young Great Mage's expression froze, ”You are in Thousand Sails City?”
People who knew William Merlin were aware that he was one of the heirs to the Merlin Family. Although Lonald was an arrogant young Great Mage, his tone became a bit less conceited when he saw William Merlin. After all, the Merlin Family was one of the strongest forces of the kingdom, stronger than the Ash Tower, they didn't dare to casually offend the Merlin Family.
”I can't be in Thousand Sails City?”
”You can…” Lonald was apparently a bit apprehensive of William Merlin. But after coldly snorting, he still said, ”Okay, William Merlin, I'll show you some respect and let your people off, but I advise you to have your subordinate hand over that person. To be honest, that person is related to an important secret of the Ash Tower. If this blows up, even the Merlin Family won't be able to protect you!”
”My subordinate?” William Merlin froze, before his mind fiercely reacted, 'He me-meant… My Master Alchemist cousin?'
William inwardly cursed Lonald.
'Are you a fucking idiot? Which of your eyes told you he was my subordinate? Could it be that you are blind? You can't see that I'm the subordinate? He is a Master, a Master Alchemist, don't you understand? Even if you're blind and begging for troubles, don't drag me with you! To dare say that a Master Alchemist is my subordinate, do you want me to die early?'
But hearing the other side say something so serious, William didn't dare to make a decision.
The Ash Tower's mages were famous for being willful, if it really was like the other side said and the apprehended youth was related to an important secret of the Ash Tower, then letting the matter grow bigger could easily bring a bad ending...
Thus William Merlin thought about it and whispered to Lin Yun, ”Cousin, you see…”
William Merlin then heard Lin Yun say, ”He'll be working with you later to rebuild the Gilded Rose chamber of commerce's mercenary group.”
”Rebuild the Gilded Rose chamber of commerce mercenary group, that kid is quite lucky…” William threw that kid an envious look, but he froze midway through his sentence and excitement filled his face, ”With me?”
”Yes, with you…”
”Damn, Lonald, aren't you arrogant!” After hearing Lin Yun's confirmation, William Merlin felt filled with courage, the magic staff in his hand pointing at Lonald, ”This is someone that I decided to save, if you are unhappy with it, then send those elders from the Ash Tower to look for me. I want to see if the Ash Tower is ready to start a war with the Merlin Family!”
”You…” The young Great Mage's expression changed. He originally thought that this William Merlin would back down after the Ash Tower was mentioned, but he hadn't expected that this William would suddenly display such an unyielding attitude.
Naturally, this young Great Mage didn't know that after William took his stance, he timidly whispered, ”Cousin, the Ash Tower is not to be trifled with...”
”I also don't want to provoke the Ash Tower…” After Lin Yun finished speaking, he ignored William rolling his eyes and fished out a hand crossbow from his pocket before aiming at the flying Lonald.
”You are courting death!” The young Great Mage didn't think that ”William's subordinate” would dare to make a move on him.
