350 Conclusion (1/2)

”...” Lin Yun felt baffled. 'What do you mean by ”meet again”?'

Lin Yun wanted to remind that Sir Ryan that they were meeting for the first time...

Moreover...

It had only been a bit over a month since he returned to the Merlin Family. Let alone contributions, he didn't stand out at all. The only thing he did was to undergo his bloodline ceremony in exchange for Stan Watson's life. It could be said that besides the support of Ross and William, he didn't have any foundation in the Merlin Family.

Under such circumstances, why would the ancestors of the Ancestral Land give him command over half the Legion?

How could they be at ease?

Lin Yun was racking his brain, but he didn't understand.

Following Sir Ryan's words, the mood became strange. Everyone was looking at Lin Yun with odd expressions. Some were astonished, some were envious, and there were even some who were jealous.

Yes, everyone...

Including Patriarch Ofran, including Sword Saint Thorne, everyone had odd gazes.

Because no one had expected that Sir Ryan from the Ancestral Land would speak to Mafa with such an attitude.

After all, four Elders had died, while three ended up seriously injured. This was something that had never happened in the Merlin Family's history. This was a true scandal, and no force could put up with something like this, even the weakest ones. Facing this kind of provocation, they would do everything in their power to kill the troublemaker.

Reaching a compromise was impossible.

But now...

Sir Ryan was trying to calm the situation by advising him to not be too impulsive.

His words made everyone feel like they had gone crazy.

This was too irrational.

It wasn't a matter of compromising anymore...

'Could it be…' At this time, Ofran was suddenly startled.

Before, Ofran had thought that since Mafa had such frightening strength at such a young age, his backer was most likely the Cloud Tower or the Black Tower...

But now, Ofran suddenly realized that this young High Mage's background might be even more frightening than he had imagined...

Ofran clearly noticed Sir Ryan mentioning them ”meeting again” when greeting Mafa Merlin.

That sentence didn't sound that special, besides proving that the two had seen each other in the past.

But Ofran didn't think so...

Because Sir Ryan's attitude was too forgiving. He only offered a bit of advice regarding the mess that Mafa had caused in the conference hall before giving him command over half of the Planar Legion.

What did this mean?

He was clearly siding with him and covering up for him.

Most importantly, Ofran had suddenly recalled the true reason that young High Mage returned to the Merlin Family.

Only Ofran and William knew that the only reason that young High Mage who ruled over Thousand Sails City was willing to return to the Merlin Family was to visit the Ancestral Land.

Ofran thought that this was because that young High Mage had longed for his identity to be acknowledged.

But Ofran didn't dare to think so now.

On one side was the young High Mage who was eager to enter the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land, while on the other side was Sir Ryan, who was clearly covering up for him. Along with the words ”meeting again”, no matter how slow Ofran was, he naturally understood that there was some secret behind this.

'Could it be… that Mafa Merlin's backer isn't the Cloud Tower or the Black Tower, but an ancestor hiding in the Ancestral Land?'

This sudden thought scared Ofran. If it really was the case, then today's Elder Council's meeting was definitely a joke!
