187 My Apologies (1/2)

Everyone laughed when Lin Yun's words came out...

”Haha, Merlin, that was a good one…”

”Haha, indeed, a good one. How could there be a Meditation Law with an unfixed formula…”

”Wouldn't that be like being able to have a different Meditation Law Set with each formula?”

At this time, the entire Banquet Hall was filled with kindhearted laughter. A few Archmages even made some harmless jokes with Lin Yun.

But they couldn't keep laughing for long...

Because they found out that Lin Yun was very serious.

'No way…'

Those who were the most familiar with Lin Yun, like Jouyi and Osul, suddenly felt nervous when they saw his expression. Although there was still a smile on his face, it was slowly stiffening.

The others seemed to have noticed the changes in those two and felt something wrong. The laughter gradually faded and the gazes of over a dozen Archmages fell on Lin Yun.

These Archmages had nerves of steel. They wouldn't even frown if a meteor fell from the sky and crashed in the center of the Banquet Hall. But at this moment, over a dozen Archmages stood still, looking at Lin Yun with worry and anxiousness.

The Banquet Hall became quiet once more.

It took some time before Mogg managed to ask, ”Is it… Is it really not fixed?”

”Yes.” Lin Yun nodded with certainty and said, ”I currently have three formulas that could be added to this Meditation Law Set. In other words, I have three completely different Meditation Law Sets…”

The Banquet Hall burst with noise once again.

It was to the point that no one heard what Lin Yun said afterwards. Everyone was immersed in this shocking news... Three distinct Meditation Law Sets, each containing eight formulas. Only one such set had appeared in the past century...

That Meditation Law Set came from the famous Starry Sky College.

Indeed, it was that famous Starry Sky Aria.

But now, three such Meditation Law Sets had appeared in the Magic Hand's gathering!

Moreover, they came from a young Great Mage...

All the Archmages felt as if they couldn't process this information.

”Merlin, give me a set!” Jouyi was the first to react. While the others were still dumbstruck, the master of the Cloud Tower already rushed to speak first. But this time, he didn't mention North Nolun or South Nolun, because he already knew that all of Nolun still couldn't compare to such a Meditation Law Set.

That was the meaning of an 8-Formula Meditation Law Set...

Something so valuable couldn't be exchanged for with just Nolun.

”Sir Jouyi, just South Nolun is fine…”

”South Nolun?” Jouyi froze...

After all, Jouyi had offered half of Nolun earlier for a 7-Formula Meditation Law Set. But with the addition of an 8th formula, this Meditation Law Set already became a many times more expensive, yet the other side only asked for South Nolun.

Even a fool would know that Jouyi was getting a great deal...

After recovering, Jouyi understood... That young Great Mage was expressing his gratitude for the consideration he had shown him...

When that occurred to him, Jouyi felt somewhat ashamed. He had indeed thought of trying to help this young mage, if only because of the fact that he was a genius that would appear only once in a millennium. This was the reason he treated that young Great Mage favorably to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to convince Osul to recommend him as a new member of the Magic Hand.

But in reality, he didn't have much success at helping him...

Speaking of Osul, Merlin himself had helped him by saving that bottle of Heaven Awakening Potion, causing Osul to joyfully open up to him. Then in the Banquet Hall, he was the one who confronted Harren and Kave with his 7-Formula Meditation Law Set, making both of them thoroughly yield.

Although Jouyi wanted to help Merlin, he truly didn't do much.

But now, the young Great Mage didn't even think about it and paid him back with an 8-Formula Meditation Law Set.

”Merlin…”

Jouyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was suddenly interrupted by a smiling Lin Yun. ”Sir Jouyi, regarding South Nolun's defenses, could the Cloud Tower…”

”Haha…” Jouyi knew that this was showing consideration for his reputation. Everyone knew that South Nolun and North Nolun had always been easily guarded territories that were very difficult to attack. As long as a few troops were stationed, they would have well-fortified defenses. Although the Gilded Rose couldn't compare to the Cloud Tower in terms of financial clout, couldn't it hire about ten Great Mages and ten Great Swordsmen?
