213 Don’t Lower Yourself To His Level (1/2)

The battle in the Golden Forest Plane had already reached the critical juncture. They were about to suppress the rebel Dark Elves. As soon as Karon took the Mercury Tower's puppet legion to march forward, the tumor that had been plaguing the Golden Forest Plane for several hundred years would be cleanly removed. But Grant was sent from the Mercury Tower to replace him, while he had to check on Suyass in the Four Seasons Canyon...

Karon felt strange... Suyass was a peak Master Alchemist and a newly advanced Archmage. He had been doing well in the Golden Forest Plane in the past few years, and moreover, he had entered the Bloody Plane three times and escaped unscathed. He was powerful and ranked third in the entire Mercury Tower.

'How come Teacher is so anxious with him going to the Four Seasons Canyon to help Thousand Sails City's joint exploration team?' Karon thought at the time.

But after asking, he learnt that Mafa Merlin was part of that joint exploration team.

And Karon clearly understood from that. Suyass was too headstrong, and if he joined the expedition, he wouldn't allow anyone to go against him.

It would have been fine normally...

It was quite normal for an Archmage like Suyass to demand absolute control in a group made up of High Mages, Spirit Archers, and Expert Swordsmen.

But Mafa Merlin was also too headstrong.

Others might not know this young Great Mage very well, but Karon did. He got a good understanding of the young Great Mage's character during the Fanrusen Formula's research. Mafa Merlin wasn't easy to deal with. He would remain courteous if others were courteous, but with Suyass' temperament, it would be strange if the two didn't come into conflict...

Moreover, Mafa Merlin wasn't an ordinary Great Mage. He truly had the ability to make Suyass suffer.

Hogg was a good example. The 9th Rank High Mage who was known for his ability in data computation was slapped in the face because of one spell matrix and was almost kicked out of the Cloud Tower by Jouyi.

Not to mention that the current Mafa Merlin was far different from his former self. Not long ago, at the Magic Hand's gathering, he had taken the limelight. His three Meditation Law Sets caused a stir, and who knew how many major forces wanted to have a good relationship with him, including his teacher Nolan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly gotten Karon to return from the Golden Forest Plane.

And if a conflict really happened, it would be hard to say who would suffer.

Aware of the seriousness of the matter, Karon immediately felt anxious and travelled day and night from the Mercury Tower, not pausing to drink or eat, before he finally managed to catch up to Suyass.

When Karon fell from the sky and landed, he noticed Suyass next to a bonfire, as well as Merlin, who was immersed in some writings.

Karon's appearance startled many people. This was the Mercury Tower's number two, only inferior to Nolan in terms of status and strength. Moreover, the Mercury Tower had quite a lofty presence in Okland. Many people hurriedly approached to greet him, and even Lin Yun and Suyass temporarily halted the gamble to greet Karon.

”Karon, how come you came?” Suyass smiled when he saw Karon.

Moreover, that smile was completely different from before.

Regardless of whether he was looking at Fran or Lin Yun, Suyass' smile had been cold and sinister. But now, Suyass stood in front of Karon with a genuine smile on his face.

Suyass was very headstrong, but Karon was the true proud scion of the Mercury Tower. He had been a Master Alchemist for over twenty years and was in his fifties now, yet was one step away from becoming an Artisan. He also became an Archmage at the age of 45. Almost ten years had passed since then, and his strength could only be described as unfathomable.

Even Suyass had to admit that Karon was on an entirely different level and was already qualified to stand alongside the peak powerhouses of the kingdom such as Nolan, Jouyi, and Harren.

Not to mention that Karon cared a lot about his fellow disciples. From the time Suyass became Nolan's disciple till now, he had become used to going to Karon if he had a problem. Over the years, his reputation in the Mercury Tower was already comparable to Nolan's.

Suyass was very prideful, even daring to snort at Star Sage Jouyi's name, but he truly accepted Karon.

It could be said that in Suyass' mind, Karon was both like an elder brother and a teacher.

”Teacher sent me to check on the situation…” After saying that in a hurry, he greeted Lin Yun. ”Merlin, you are also here, such a coincidence.”
