A few decades ago, Thorne Merlin had some outstanding achievements during a Planar War and was fortunate enough to travel to the Ancestral Land to undergo the bloodline ceremony. At the time, Ryan met him and mentally noted down his name. He paid attention to Thorne after that, and he wasn't disappointed, as Thorne made many great contributions during the past few decades.

In his eyes, Thorne was truly remarkable. He would be considered a powerhouse even in the Ancestral Land. He was qualified to lead an elite Planar Legion to conquer planes.

But...

But Ryan now felt that Thorne wasn't very pleasing to the eye...

”Family Council… Representative…”

Thorne was thoroughly stunned. He obviously knew of the Family Council. It was the true hub of power of the Merlin Family. Moreover, there were very few Representatives, and each of them had been famous figures, but they were now training in seclusion in the Ancestral Land. The Patriarch and the Elder Council of the Outer Family was simply a joke compared to the Family Council.

'How… How could this be? How could Mafa Merlin become a Representative!?'

He repeated Sir Ryan's words a few times in his mind and confirmed that he hadn't misheard. Mafa Merlin had truly become a Representative of the Merlin Family.

Thorne was startled speechless.

'A Representative…'

A Representative had supreme authority and exceedingly high status!

But, even though Thorne was thinking very hard about it, he couldn't understand. Mafa Merlin, who had disappeared a few months ago, just went to the Ancestral Land. How could he have become a Representative?

This was illogical...

After all, Ryan and the other members of the Family Council had been living in seclusion in the Ancestral Land for at least a hundred years and had the strength and experience required, so it made sense for them to be in the Family Council.

But this Mafa Merlin...

Whether it was his strength or experience, they were both insufficient. Moreover, just how long had he been in the Merlin Family for? Even if the few months he had disappeared for were counted, it would still be less than half a year!

Mafa Merlin becoming a Representative thoroughly shocked him, but apologizing was impossible! He unhesitantly turned and left.

Ryan silently shook his head as he looked at that receding back, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Thorne Merlin.

Lin Yun didn't say anything. He only smiled and secretly scattered the mana gathered in the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. He chatted a bit with Ryan in the Guardian Tower before leaving the Ancestral Land to go back to the Merlin Family Manor.

He then stayed in the alchemy laboratory for over five hours, preparing some commonly used potions. After all, the Raging Flame Plane was very dangerous. Most lifeforms there had poisonfire, so Lin Yun had no choice but to prepare.

It was already night when he was done with this and returned to his residence. Just as he was about to start meditating, he recalled that group of Great Mages in the Demiplane. He had given them the Swift Star Mark and the Blazing Storm, and he was planning on helping explain things for them if he had time.

As they were a Magic Conducting Rune and a Meditation Law Set that came from the peak of the Magic Era, it wasn't easy to master them. Ross and Leon were extremely talented youths, so there would rarely be a part that they didn't understand while learning the Elemental Tide and the Arcane Ring. Lin Yun hadn't needed to explain anything to them.

But this wouldn't work for that group of Great Mages.

Their innate conditions were too inferior, and before meeting him, most of them would have had no chance to become Great Mages. They were able to advance with the help of Black Death Rune in the Bone Plane, but for them to understand the Swift Star Mark and Blazing Storm on their own was simply a fairy tale.

Lin Yun would lead the Planar Legion to the Raging Flame Plane the next day, and he might not be able to take the time to disappear for a while. Thus, he planned to use this last night to give pointers to the Great Mages.

After an incantation, an intense spatial fluctuation burst out. The next moment, he reached the naturally-born Demiplane and mist-like mana assaulted his senses, giving him a kind of godly feeling.

”Taji.”

Lin Yun caught sight of a silhouette in the distance meditating on the lawn. In fact, Lin Yun hadn't been in contact with the fifty mages very often. The names he knew could be counted on his fingers, and this Taji was one of them. In Thousand Sails City, Taji was someone that had left a profound impression on him.
