334 Elemental Tide (1/2)

”I'm going to find Patriarch Ofran!” William stood up fiercely.

Patriarch Ofran had given many generous conditions to make Lin Yun return to the family. William had participated in the whole process as the bridge between the two of them, and even he felt envious when he heard some of the conditions.

But the conditions that Ofran had agreed to had gradually started to change ever since Lin Yun arrived at the Family. Such as the matter of entering the Ancestral Land. William was still feeling sour about it. He had originally agreed, but when they arrived, he insisted on some contributions to the Family first. Fortunately, it was Lin Yun... Had it been someone else, they would have ended up dead while trying to assassinate Stan Watson, or probably just given up.

Ever since then, William had been quite dissatisfied by the Family. But because Lin Yun didn't say anything, William endured it.

But it wasn't long before they now heard this news.

This was a bit excessive.

William wanted to go and ask Patriarch Ofran what had happened to all the conditions he had agreed on.

”Haha, this matter definitely has nothing to do with Patriarch Ofran…” Ross shook his head, ”Don't you know Patriarch Ofran's style? He is always flexible. With his character, he would definitely use a gentler method if he coveted the Gilded Rose, such as using feelings. He would persuade Cousin Mafa to collaborate with the Family. With the power of the current Gilded Rose, they could increase the level of alchemy of the Merlin Family if they had a close partnership…

”The ones who want to annex the Gilded Rose are those ignorant and narrow-minded elders. I dare say that those geezers might not even know that the Gilded Rose is a behemoth controlling the eastern alchemy market, they simply don't understand that taking over the Gilded Rose would be biting off more than they can chew…”

”Then Patriarch Ofran is just looking on?”

”He doesn't really have much choice. The Merlin Family's Elder Council has great authority. You might not know, but the Elder Council as a whole is above the Patriarch. And in the past hundred years, those ancestors spared no efforts to support the Elder Council. Patriarch Ofran is actually in a very awkward situation…”

”But…”

”It's okay, William…” Lin Yun shook his head and stopped the unconvinced William from arguing further.

The greed of the Elder Council hadn't come as a surprise to Lin Yun.

When he spent millions in the Black Horn Auction, Lin Yun had already thought that this huge sum might make some people envious.

The reaction of the Elder Council was quite normal.

However, Lin Yun hadn't thought that this would actually involve the Ancestral Land.

But it still didn't matter.

He had already undergone the bloodline ceremony in the Ancestral Land and fused his ten Magic Arrays into one. The identity of being a Merlin was no longer important to him. If these elders were foolish enough to try to take the Gilded Rose from him, then they could only blame their own poor luck.

Lin Yun no longer bothered with this matter and picked up the Meditation Law Set Ross had brought and started reading.

The first section of the Elemental Tide wasn't that complicated. It could even be described as quite shallow in Lin Yun's eyes. Lin Yun spent half an hour recalling the first section of the Elemental Tide. After making sure that nothing was missing, Lin Yun thought for a short moment before taking out a sheet of paper.

The room was extremely quiet, and for a while, only the sound of the quill streaking across the paper could be heard.

At this time, both William and Ross tacitly held their breaths. They remained there, motionless, not daring to let out a single sound. The two only watched as Lin Yun wrote, as that blank page was filled to the brim with characters.

An hour later, Lin Yun completed the 2nd section of the Elemental Tide that he had inferred.

”Phew…” Lin Yun let out a long sigh. He moved his hand around a bit as it was a bit sore from all the writing, before preparing to write the 3rd section of the Elemental Tide.

To Lin Yun, the 2nd section of the Elemental Tide was only the beginning, and finishing off would be the real challenge. The 3rd section was the core of the whole Elemental Tide.
