533 Intertwined (1/2)

Lin Yun remained in the barracks for the next few days and finished drawing the remaining blueprint.

The smelting process for the Crimson Flame Gold Essence had finished a few days ago, and it had already been transported back to camp, waiting for Lin Yun to craft the components.

Drawing the blueprints had saved a lot of trouble and effort when it came to the crafting, but it also took a lot of time for Lin Yun.

While he was busy with this, Lin Yun didn't know that the Watson Family once again showed signs of activity. This was a result of what happened three days ago.

After Arthus manage to escape, Rhett Watson still didn't dare to believe that there was a Dragon in the Merlin Family's camp, so he still decided to approach the Merlin Family cautiously. He originally was wary of getting to close, but he gradually relaxed his vigilance. After observing for several days, he came to the conclusion that there was no Dragon in the camp.

After confirming this, Rhett hurriedly looked for Arthus.

”Sir Arthus, last time might have been an accident. I've seen no signs of a Frost Dragon in the Merlin Family's camp. I watched for three days, there is no way I made a mistake.” Rhett smiled at Arthus and suggested, ”Perhaps that Dragon was just passing by?”

”Is that true?” Arthus didn't dare to believe his words. That formidable Dragon had cast a shadow over his heart.

In fact, after thinking about it for a few days, he had started having some doubts of his own...

The appearance of the Frost Dragon was too strange...

It came without a sign.

And more importantly, how could such a formidable Dragon be willing to stay with the Merlin Family?

That might be the only logical explanation...

”Sir Arthus, how about we try again?”

”I'm afraid I can't for now…” Arthus awkwardly looked at Rhett before softly shaking his head. He still didn't want to rashly try his luck. That would be too dangerous. If the Frost Dragon appeared once again, he might not have the chance to return alive...

With these thoughts, Arthus solemnly looked at Rhett and bitterly smiled. ”Rhett, you probably don't know, but I've yet to completely recover after being seriously injured by the Frost Dragon. It will be roughly ten days before I can use the power of my Demon Shape…”

Although he indeed was affected and his power had weakened, it was definitely not as serious as he was implying.

He just didn't want to act without being more certain.

He could only probe for the time being. Once he confirmed that the Frost Dragon truly wasn't there, he would set out against the Merlin Family.

”Alright, you should rest…” Rhett looked sorry. He could naturally tell from Arthus' words that it was nothing more than a pretext, but he also knew that he had no other choice. He couldn't force Arthus along.

”Yes…”

After leaving Rhett, instead of heading for his living quarters, Arthus left the Watson Family's territory to go to the Merlin Family's camp. He stopped two kilometers away and hid himself in a corner, secretly observing the camp.

Over the next few days, several resource collection teams entered and exited the camp. The Planar Legion's troops were having practice drills every day on a set schedule. Everything was carried out meticulously, but the commander never showed his face.

Because at that time, Lin Yun was busy with the puppet.

At his command, Lahn had transported all the smelted Crimson Flame Gold Essence back to camp, allowing Lin Yun to finish crafting the three components within five days.

After testing the 3rd component multiple times and confirming that there were no problems, Lin Yun took a deep breath and placed it back on the table.

Looking at the three thumb-sized components neatly arranged on the alchemy table, Lin Yun couldn't help smiling bitterly. From planning to crafting, he spent close to twenty days. It even reached the point where some flaws appeared because of carelessness during the crafting process, which made him give up and restart. Thus, he ended up using two fist-sized chunks of Crimson Flame Gold Essence for those three thumb-sized components.

That much Crimson Flame Gold Essence was comparable in value to a Star Gem.

But...

This was worth it in Lin Yun's eyes.

Despite the size, their effects would be monumental.
