351 Take Me There (1/2)
Although Ofran had reminded them to not spread any information about what had happened this day to avoid incurring the displeasure of Sir Ryan, who among the Elders of the Merlin Family didn't have friends and kin?
None of them wanted to see their relatives and friends offend Mafa Merlin because they weren't aware that they needed to be careful. He was a monster that they shouldn't provoke... unless they were tired of living. Not everyone had a father that could contend against that monster like Aube.
Thus, in one night, many of the Merlins understood that Mafa wasn't someone to pick a fight with, and that whoever did would run out of luck.
As for exactly why that was the case...
Only those dozen Elders knew. Nothing could be done about it, as they couldn't share what had happened in the Elder Council. It was a scandal for the Merlin Family. Over a dozen Elders had schemed against a youth's assets, yet that youth killed three of them on the spot and injured another one. If this spread, the Merlin Family would definitely lose some of their reputation.
Naturally, Lin Yun wasn't aware of this...
He only knew that something had happened since he left the stone tower area. Particularly when he met any of those Elders that had participated in the Elder Council, they would look at him with fear and anxiety as if they were looking at a plague.
No one dared to approach a hundred meters of Lin Yun whenever he walked somewhere.
Only a few people in the Merlin Family had the courage to approach him: Ross, William, and the little girl that William's older sister had adopted
What was baffling was that this girl, Ranya, who had always been antisocial and had rarely ever interacted with other members of the Merlin Family apart from William, had grown accustomed to Lin Yun after living together for over ten days. She was no longer running away at lightning speed whenever she saw him, and sometimes she even summoned enough courage to whisper a few sentences to him!
Lin Yun was very happy about this change. As the owner of the Quicksand Eyes, Ranya had an even better future than Xiuban, at least from Lin Yun's perspective.
Considering Ranya's age, Lin Yun didn't try to rush it. Instead, he spent a few days to teach her a set of Body Techniques dedicated to pureblooded Elves. Naturally, when he taught Ranya, Lin Yun only said that this was a set of physique-tempering Body Techniques and that it would help her grow taller if she practiced it regularly...
Seeing the little girl happily practicing this set of Body Techniques, Lin Yun couldn't help forcing out a smile. 'If those pureblooded Elves knew that the supreme Body Technique of the Royal Family was being taught as gymnastics for kids, would they jump out of their graves?'
After over a month without being bothered, Lin Yun once again became less conspicuous. He spent most of his time on the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Doom Staff.
Lin Yun had relied on these two True Spirit Magic Tools alongside Syudos to face Thorne Merlin, to face that Sword Saint close to 5th Rank and hold him to a draw, despite only being a 1st Rank High Mage. The might that those two Magic Tools and Syudos displayed at that time had made everyone gasp in amazement, especially the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Before Thorne's arrival, it burst out three times and killed three Elders, leaving a deep impression in everyone's minds. A few more cowardly Elders would even shiver when they looked at their plates during dinner.
But in Lin Yun's eyes, whether it was the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel or the Doom Staff, their might had yet to be fully displayed.
After all, Lin Yun's plan was to get these two True Spirit Magic Tools to reach the peak of their realms in the future, and even go past that to become Extraordinary Magic Tools. Even if those two True Spirit Magic Tools had yet to completely mature, their power couldn't possibly be this lacking... They, along with Syudos, weren't able to thoroughly suppress Thorne Merlin, which seemed very abnormal.
But Lin Yun knew that it was because the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had recently been crafted and the Doom Staff had recently been adapted and augmented to be tailored to him, making it so that Lin Yun had yet to master them both.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was alright. After all, it had Enderfa as a bridge. With the Magic Array and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel being linked, the Spell Wheel could act according to his will.
The Doom Staff was a bit worse off because it was built entirely out of piled up Augments and a Magic Tool Incarnation had yet to be born. It was entirely relying on Lin Yun to operate it and couldn't display the true might of a True Spirit Magic Tool.
Thus, Lin Yun wanted to quickly birth a Magic Tool Incarnation in the Doom Staff.
But it wasn't a simple matter for a True Spirit Magic Tool to birth a Magic Tool Incarnation. It needed time and resources, and the more it had, the greater the opportunity would be.
Moreover, the more powerful a True Spirit Magic Tool was, the more difficult it was to produce a Magic Tool Incarnation.
But Lin Yun wasn't worried at all...
Because he knew that as long as nothing went awry, Okland had one opportunity waiting for him that would grant the Doom Staff a Magic Tool Incarnation.
But before that, he had to advance to the 5th Rank...
After coming to this conclusion, Lin Yun no longer thought any further about the two True Spirit Magic Tools and instead spent all his time studying magic. Thanks to that battle with Thorne Merlin, Lin Yun smoothly advanced to the 2nd Rank.
