389 Solan (1/2)
Let alone needing the help of the young mage to enter the canyon, going back without him might be...
It wasn't that they wanted to rely on Lin Yun, they just had no other way.
Delson wasn't the only one worrying. Rolf and Dean were also worrying, but so what if they were worried...
”Employer?”
Lin Yun laughed when he heard this. ”Did the Gaugasses hire you for this? Or was it a descendant of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family?”
Dean, Delson, and Rolf looked at Lin Yun with shock when they heard his words.
”The Gaugass Battlemages have been destitute ever since they split with the Black Tower three hundred years ago, so it can only be a descendant of the royal family, and the descendants of the royal family are mostly located in the Adela Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom. Thus, your employer should be either the Adela Kingdom or the Odin Kingdom?” Lin Yun didn't pay attention to their shock as he shared his guess.
”High Mage Merlin, you, you… How did you know?”
If they had been shocked earlier, the three of them now looked like cats whose tails had been stepped on, especially Delson, who was looking at Lin Yun with an extremely pale face.
The secret information that they were willing to die to avoid a leak of was easily guessed by Lin Yun. How could they not be shocked?
”As for how I know, this has nothing to do with you, does it? Answer my question first. Adela or Odin?” Lin Yun frowned as he pressed on with dissatisfaction.
It wasn't hard for him to guess these.
Delson and the others stammering and not daring to explain the purpose of their trip was highly suspicious. Let alone others, Lin Yun had saved the mercenary groups twice, a huge favor. Even if it was a secret involving some sort of benefits, how could they not share it with Lin Yun?
In this era, most people only knew that the Gaugass King and Emperor Zhantui had a battle in the depths of the Tulan Mountain Range, but few people knew that this battle happened in a certain Line Canyon. The Gaugasses and the descendants of the royal family were some of the few in the know.
And the Gaugasses were currently penniless. They didn't have the financial resources to hire the Three Great Mercenary Groups.
Thus, it could only be the descendants of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family.
The Adela Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom weren't in a very friendly relationship with the Andlusa Kingdom, especially the Odin Kingdom. It bordered the Andlusa Kingdom and both countries had conflicting views. It was very likely that a war would erupt in the next decade.
If the one who hired the three mercenary groups was truly the Adela Kingdom or the Odin Kingdom, then the three mercenary groups' actions could already be considered having secret ties with the enemy...
”Odin…”
This short word seemed to have exhausted all of Delson's energy. He lowered his head after saying it. ”A mysterious, black-clothed man suddenly looked for our Leader and told him that he was a descendant of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family from the Odin Kingdom. He gave our leader a piece of a map and made us look for something in the depths of the Tulan Mountain Range, offering us a price that we couldn't refuse…Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
”High Mage Merlin, it's not that we wanted to hide it from you. The relationship between the Odin Kingdom and the Andlusa Kingdom is worsening. For things that shouldn't be exposed like this, the fewer people that know about it, the better.” Delson took a deep breath, before looking at Lin Yun with sincerity. ”High Mage Merlin, if you truly don't want to risk your life, you can choose to withdraw. Our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group will forever remember what you did for us….”
”As expected, it was Odin…”
The influence of the descendants of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family in the Odin Kingdom was quite shocking. They already controlled the royal power, so it was normal for them to give a price the three mercenary groups couldn't resist. Lin Yun smiled before looking at Delson, ”Take the map out…”
Delson nimbly took a palm-sized map from his pocket before putting it on a table and turning to Dean and Rolf, seemingly indicating something.
”We also have some…”
Seeing Delson's embarrassment, they quickly took out map pieces from their pockets, dejected. After putting them on the table, Rolf unconsciously gazed at Lin Yun and explained, ”The mysterious man that Sir Delson talked about also looked for our mercenary groups and gave us map pieces. It was only after the Wyvern attack that we realized the extent of the danger of the Tulan Mountain Range. We simply couldn't survive by relying on the power of a single group, so it didn't take long before we allied together…”
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He was firmly staring at the map pieces on the tablet. After watching for a while, he unexpectedly took out two map pieces and put them on the table, forming a complete map!
'Eh?'
