116 Jade Rock Door (1/2)

The Lava Dominator's reputation was too great, even an outsider like William could recognize it with a glance. Keeping this Spiritual Magic Tool was like hanging a sign around his neck reading ”Killed Lonald and Snatched Lava Dominator” in capital letters.

It wouldn't be fun...

Let alone the crazies from the Ash Tower, even an old tortoise wouldn't be able to tolerate this.

Fortunately, there were many ways to change the outer appearance through alchemy, Lin Yun wasn't worried about the Lava Dominator being a hot potato. Once he returned from the prince's tomb, he would be able to change the appearance of the Lava Dominator.

Right now, Lin Yun was worried about something else.

”Haha, Leader Sauss, the issue has been solved.” Lin Yun smiled at Sauss.

But this kind of smile made this leader of the 1st underground force of Thousand Sails City feel cold. An uncontrollable fear shrouded Sauss' heart. At this time, Sauss even felt like he was being observed by a fierce magic beast.

'Fuck, I know too much!'

Sauss immediately understood. The freshly dead Great Mage came from the Ash Tower, a force equally famous as the Sage Tower. Not to mention, this was related to an important secret of the Ash Tower. If something was leaked, the Gilded Rose might meet a lot of troubles.

He looked around...

Besides the Gilded Rose's people and the corpses on the ground, he was the only outsider.

Outsider...

Sauss suddenly felt his legs weaken. Even an idiot would know that turning the outsider into another corpse was the safest way.

Dead people don't talk.

Sauss knew that he wasn't overreacting. He understood when seeing Mafa Merlin's smile as he said that the issue had been solved, while still holding the hand crossbow that killed the Great Mage. 'Damn, if the issue had been solved, why would you still have the hand crossbow in your hands?'

As he thought of this, Sauss couldn't help wanting to slap himself twice, 'Why didn't I think of bringing back up? I can't even beg for my life now…'

'No good, I have to save myself!'

Sauss ground his teeth and made a firm decision.

”Hold on, Great Mage Merlin, the issue hasn't been solved. Look, his eyes are still moving!” Sauss said with a panicky expression on his face. He quickly unsheathed his sword and pierced Lonald's chest. In an instant, a bit of black blood spurted out, flowing out of Lonald's corpse.

Sauss then saw the weeds around the corpse withering.

'So toxic, no wonder that Great Mage wasn't able to withstand one hit from the hand crossbow, even with the Lava Dominator.' Sauss was inwardly shocked while displaying a relieved expression, ”Okay, the issue has been settled. I never expected that I would have to personally kill a 5th Rank Great Mage.”

”Haha, fortunately Leader Sauss reacted promptly or we might have been sneak attacked.” Lin Yun smiled once again, but it was a sincere smile this time.

Because he already knew that this action had tied the Viper Nest with the Gilded Rose. Sauss wouldn't be able to do anything about it in the future due to what happened here. After all, the final blow done on the Ash Tower's Great Mage had personally been done by Sauss.

As long as Sauss was smart, he wouldn't leak anything.

If even Sauss wouldn't talk, who would?

The remaining people were all members of the Gilded Rose. If Lin Yun was unable to do something as easy as having his people keep their mouth shut, then he might as well give up on this second chance at life.

”Great Mage Merlin is too polite…” Seeing Lin Yun's actions, he finally sighed in relief. To be honest, Sauss had been under high pressure ever since he came in contact with this ruthless young Great Mage.

But fortunately, after fighting on the same side during this battle, the Viper Nest and the Gilded Rose's relationship should be more stable than with the other forces in the future.

It should be considered an unexpected harvest.

”In any case, thank you, Leader Sauss.” Lin Yun didn't remain too courteous with Sauss and waved his hand, leading the Gilded Rose's caravan on their way.

As for the recently saved Colin, he was directly thrown to the old butler by Lin Yun.

From that previous question about his identity, it was clear that this youth wasn't very trusting. This was quite normal. The original Mafa Merlin wasn't always in Thousand Sails City and many of Locke Merlin's subordinates were actually not familiar with him. Moreover, this Colin shouldered a huge secret of the Ash Tower, it was normal to be on guard against strangers.

But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry.
