185 Pig-like Teammate (1/2)
Unfortunately, Kave was unaware.
Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun's writing speed was too fast and Kave was simply absent-minded, missing the other six new formulas. To this moment, Kave was still thinking that this young Great Mage had been writing the same formula.
Kave was full of confidence, thinking that one formula was nothing, with his reputation and the prestige he gained over decades, he could completely reverse the situation.
He might even obtain some benefits...
Such as expropriating this formula.
Kave looked at it before and although the key points to the formula used some special characters, he felt that this wouldn't pose too much trouble. The difference in magic knowledge between a 9th Rank High Mage and a 5th Rank Great Mage was an unbreachable gap. As long as he spent some effort, cracking these special characters wouldn't be very difficult.
Thus, Kave didn't have any qualms bringing this up.
”Sir Kave, once you say something, you cannot take it back…” Lin Yun had already finished writing the 7th formula and put Jouyi's quill down while all the other Archmages looked at him in shock.
”Phew…”
The moment Lin Yun laid down the quill, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Too frightening...
Lin Yun's crazy performance gave rise to a kind of misconception, as if Lin Yun would just keep writing formula after formula… Fortunately, Lin Yun stopped after writing seven of them.
If this had been before and someone displayed magic knowledge in such a generous way, the Archmages present would have unanimously asked him to continue. But now, they only wanted to ask Merlin to reign in his ability.
They were frightened after all.
The seven new formulas just appeared like that and gave a strong blow to all the Archmages, stunning them on the spot. This action could only be described as too crazy. They were really afraid that there would be an 8th, and then a 9th.
Looking at Lin Yun's resting hand, one Archmage stealthily wiped the cold sweat dripping down his neck while secretly rejoicing that it was finally over.
Unfortunately, Kave neglected these details.
This 9th Rank High Mage had been immersed in his own world. Although he didn't have time to break these special characters, he was convinced that he would have have no issues in the ensuing confrontation.
Only because of the difference in status.
The gap of over twenty ranks would crush this Mafa in the clash.
Kave even assumed the arrogance of a 9th Rank Archmage, ”Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one more chance. Leave the Ash Tower now and I can think of it as if nothing ever happened…”
”Sir Kave is too polite…” Lin Yun spread the pieces of paper on the table and then raised his head with a smile directed at Kave.
”Looks like you want to resist to the bitter hand…” There was a sneer on Kave's face as he walked towards the center of the Banquet Hall, ”Since it's like this, don't blame me for exposing you. Mafa Merlin, do you dare let everyone know where you were yesterday from 1am to 3am?”
”What does it have to do with plagiarism?” Lin Yun was suddenly startled, 'Was the Demiplane exposed?' But Lin Yun's nerves had already been tempered through the end of Noscent, even though he was startled, nothing showed on his face.
”Haha, you don't dare to answer?” Kave's smile slowly vanished, ”Let me explain on your behalf. During the night, between 1am and 3am, you quietly infiltrated the Ash Tower's secret research room and stole this extremely important magic formula. You think you can trick everyone?”
”Sir Kave, I did tell you that you can't take your words back. You cannot make irresponsible remarks…” Lin Yun almost cursed, 'Damn you were only framing me, I was almost scared and nearly told the truth…'
”Good, Mafa Merlin, give up your pathetic struggles. Ask any of the Archmages present what kind of person I am. My reputation, my morals, how could you compare to them as a mere 5th Rank Great Mage?” After Kave said everything full of confidence, his gaze swept past numerous Archmages.
By Kave's estimate, a dozen Archmages should back him up.
But Kave didn't think that none of the Archmages he looked at would support him. Rather, they all lowered their heads as if they were discussing with each other. No one was willing to look him in the eye.
What kind of situation was this?
Kave didn't know what to do...
'Did Jouyi's influence in the Magic Hand reached this degree? To make it so that no Archmage would be willing to speak for me? Isn't this a bit too freakish?'
